Yu Xiaocao saw pig's trotters and elbows in the kitchen, so she blanched them out. In her previous life, her stewed vegetable shop accounted for the top three sales, and besides the pig's head meat, there was braised pig's trotters.
It's not her bragging, her marinated pig's trotters are cooked just right, bite down, the pig's skin is springy, the meat is soft and rotten, and the mouth is fragrant. I guarantee that after eating this time, I will think about the next time. As for the stewed elbow, it has a golden red and shiny color, the bone is fragrant, the meat is tender, delicious, the shape is intact and not broken, and the soup is thick but not greasy. The Supreme Emperor will definitely like it!
Instructing the people in the imperial dining room to keep an eye on the heat, Yu Xiaocao left with the Supreme Emperor. Back at Jingyang Palace, the emperor and empress had gratified smiles on their faces. Seeing Yu Xiaocao, the empress beckoned her to go over, took her little hand affectionately, and said with a smile:
"Xiaocao, you are young, and you are very capable. Not only can you see a doctor, but you are also good at cooking. The porridge and side dishes you cook are delicious for the emperor. Although there are not many porridges, there are also two small bowls Well, I was afraid that he would be full, so I didn't dare to let him finish. After eating the porridge, the emperor said that his stomach was warm and comfortable, and the pain in his stomach was gone. These folk remedies, the medicinal materials used Not expensive, but quite effective!"
Yu Xiaocao said modestly: "The little prince is afraid of eating white porridge. Purslane is a common wild vegetable, and its taste is just average. However, many wild vegetables have certain curative effects, and there are many people who cannot afford to hire a doctor." , I just picked some wild vegetables and medicinal materials to deal with it, and some folk remedies have been formed over time."
The empress looked at her with a smile, and felt that although the little girl was young, she spoke and acted well, which added a bit of sincerity and love to her. After taking a nap, the little prince felt much better. He ate three pieces of candied purslane and looked at Yu Xiaocao earnestly and said, "My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, so I don't need to drink the bitter concoction anymore?"
Yu Xiaocao nodded, softened her voice, and said, "You don't need to drink the bitter medicine, but I want to check your stomach, little prince..."
"Okay! Check it out!! It's really healed, you don't need to take medicine anymore!!" The little prince also went all out in order not to drink the bitter soup.
Yu Xiaocao glanced at the empress, and after getting her approval, she lifted off the little prince's clothes, revealing her bulging belly. After communicating with Xiao Butianshi in her heart, she stuck the five-colored stone on her right wrist to the little prince's lower abdomen while checking. If others could see it at this time, they would definitely find that the five-colored stone emitted a golden light, gradually covering the little prince's abdomen.
Yu Xiaocao pretended to be checking, pressing this side for a while, asking if it hurts, and pressing the other side for a while, asking if it would be convenient... The little prince felt that the place she pressed seemed to have magical powers. All the discomfort was taken away by her little hands.
After Xiaobutianshi finished treating the little prince with spiritual power, Yu Xiaocao said to the expectant queen and the little prince, "It's almost healed. The medicine is three-point poisonous, and the decoction can be stopped. In the next few days God, the diet is enough!"
At this time, the eunuch of Jingyang Palace reported that Su Ran and King Yangjun had arrived. As soon as Zhu Junyang entered the Jingyang Palace, he cast his eyes on Yu Xiaocao, seeing that she was smiling and everything was fine, he looked away as if nothing had happened.
After paying his respects to the empress, he brought an automatic pony brought from the west to amuse the bedridden little prince. The automatic pony, about the size of an adult's palm, has a mechanism in its abdomen. After being wound up, the pony can automatically pace on the table. The new toy quickly attracted the little prince's attention, and he played with the pony, giggling from time to time.
Su Ran brought back a pack of dried and fresh razor clams. After seeing it, the empress turned her eyes to look at Yu Xiaocao, and said apologetically: "Zhazi porridge... I have to trouble you, Xiaocao!"
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly got up and said, "No trouble! However, it will take some time to cook the razor porridge, and the girl is now resigning."
Although the Queen's attitude towards her is more amiable, Yu Xiaocao still doesn't feel comfortable facing the privileged class that controls the life and death of others in a class society with a strict hierarchy. She would rather stay in the imperial dining room and bear the impact of the oily fumes than say a word with the empress.
Seeing Yu Xiaocao leaving the Jingyang Palace, Zhu Junyang also said goodbye, strode up to Xiaocao who was led by Xia Zi to the imperial dining room, looked at her hesitantly, and finally said: "Actually... if you If you don’t want to do it, you can…”
Yu Xiaocao glanced at Xia Zi with a surprised face, smiled and said to Zhu Junyang: "You don't know me yet? I enjoy the process of cooking more. When you were in Dongshan Village, those tricky things you ordered Didn’t I also try to cook all the dishes for you? I’m a hard worker by nature, and if I’m idle, I’m not quite right. Helping the little prince cook porridge is what I asked on my own initiative.”
Zhu Junyang saw that there was no reluctance on her face, so he showed a slight smile and said, "What's more! In Dongshan Village, if you can cook one or two of the ten dishes I ordered! That's you , you are more courageous than your head, dare to fool the Lord!"
Yu Xiaocao stuck out her tongue, with a sly smile in her eyes, and said: "The folk girl is from a farming family and can only cook some home-cooked dishes. Those sea cucumbers and abalones you ordered are all precious ingredients. Even if they are caught, they will be taken away For money, who is willing to try it? Next time you order food, learn a little bit, and order some ordinary ones, so that you can satisfy you!"
The surprised expression on Xia Zi's face was even worse. Who could tell her that the man in front of him with a smile on his face and eyes full of indulgence and doting is the evil and cold-faced county king that everyone in Beijing avoids? Wouldn't it be possessed by something? And the little girl from the Yu family, you don't take the county king too seriously, don't you? To actually talk to the black-faced killer with such a casual attitude, do you think your life is too long
What surprised her even more was that the county king was cold-faced, his face was not cold at all, his handsome face was full of smiles, and his voice was so soft: "Okay! I will order what you know how to do in the future!"
As soon as you enter the imperial dining room, there is a strong smell of stewed meat in the whole yard. Zhu Junyang sniffed lightly, and asked, "Xiaocao, you stewed the pig's head at noon today? Then I have to find an excuse to stay, I want to eat the shredded ears you made!"
"Stinky boy! Your grandpa asked the little girl to make the stewed pig's head. It's all mine. No one can steal it from me!" Taishanghuang has been wandering around the imperial dining room since the stewed pig's head was put into the pot, smelling the fragrance Can't help but come in and have a look. Hearing that Zhu Junyang wanted to snatch the pig's ears from him, he immediately became unhappy, and launched a food protection operation.
Zhu Junyang was not afraid of this grandpa emperor, and started bickering with him: "Grandpa emperor, can you finish eating such a big pig's head by yourself? Don't you have two pig ears? You are so generous, so give it to your grandson one?"
Zhu Huaiyong took a careful look at the little grandson and felt that he seemed to be different from before. If it was him before, he would have left with a dark face and waved his hands. How could it be possible to say such coquettish words. Also, his pupils are no longer covered by the ice of ten thousand years, and he has a little bit of vitality. The grandson's condition is under control? Which miracle doctor is so powerful.
In order not to irritate his little grandson, the Supreme Emperor put on an expression of reluctance to give up his love, and said cruelly, "Okay! Seeing how well-behaved you are today, I will reward you with a pig's ear..."
Zhu Junyang made an inch of it: "Grandpa Huang, grandson still likes to eat pigs..."
"No way! Just a pig's ear, I won't give you any more! Don't say any more, and I don't even have a pig's ear!" with.
Seeing the old and the young, Yu Xiaocao was blushing because of a pig's head, and hurriedly persuaded: "If you think a pig's head is not enough to eat, you can ask the imperial dining room to prepare a few more pig's heads. Stew them with old stew at night." After a whole night, you can eat it to your heart’s content tomorrow. However, now that the weather is getting hotter, try not to stay overnight with braised vegetables. If you can’t finish eating, just give it to others!”
The Supreme Emperor looked unwilling, and muttered: "There is an ice cellar in my palace, you can freeze what you can't finish eating, and just reheat it when you want to eat it!...Little girl, what are you going to do in the capital?" When? Grandpa wants to eat pork stewed vermicelli, pheasant stewed mushrooms and Northeast stew!"
In his previous life, Zhu Huaiyong was an out-and-out northeastern man. Since traveling, I seldom eat authentic Northeast dishes, I miss them very much, and dream of eating these Northeast specialties.
Yu Xiaocao thought for a while, and said: "I guess I will stay in the palace for a few more days, and I have to make sure that the little prince recovers before leaving the palace. In the next few days, if you want to eat home-cooked food, you can let the imperial dining room Let me help you prepare the ingredients. I just don’t know if the folk girl’s craftsmanship suits your taste.”
"Coup! Coup! With your skill of braising pig's head, how can the dishes be worse?" The Supreme Emperor smiled happily and nodded frequently. He thought in his heart, he will be living in the palace these few days, so he ordered him to go to bed at night in Ningshou Palace!
The old eunuch who has followed the Supreme Emperor for decades has already seen through the Supreme Emperor's mind. I thought to myself: Ever since the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he either traveled around the mountains and rivers, or lived in a palace in the suburbs of Beijing. Ningshou Palace has been prepared for him for seven or eight years, and he has never lived in it for a day. Unexpectedly, for a home-cooked meal, she was willing to stay overnight in the palace. The magic of food is really infinite!
Yu Xiaocao started to make seafood porridge with razor clams. Several old imperial cooks in the imperial dining room pushed away the little eunuchs who were helping the cooks, and came up to help her. This is a bright stealer! ! However, whether it's seafood porridge, stewed pig's head, or those home-cooked Northeast dishes, Yu Xiaocao is not going to hide anything. She didn't stay in the capital for a few days. The Emperor Taishang is quite interesting, and he has no airs, very close to the people. She was very happy to leave him a few dishes that he liked.
