Qing Chuan's cousin is reborn

In the end, the place to eat the pot was decided at Qianqing Palace. Yunrou brought things and people to go to Concubine Xuan earlier, she was going to make sauce, Concubine Xuan turned a corner and went to the Palace of Compassionate Ning to find the Queen Mother.This kind of thing naturally has to take the Queen Mother, they agreed yesterday.

There was no such thing as chili pepper in Qing Dynasty. She learned from Wu Fujin's memory that there was such a good thing, so she asked someone to plant some.Under her influence, the people in Shilang's Mansion also fell in love with spicy food.

Not knowing the tastes of the queen mother and others, she specially prepared two kinds of pot bottoms—clear soup pot bottom made from lamb bones and spicy pot bottom.

Liang Jiugong followed Yunrou all the time, seeing Yunrou take out the chili pepper, he asked cautiously, "Ma'am, can this thing be eaten?"

Yunrou was a little surprised by the movement of her hands. "Eunuch Liang knows the pepper?" The pepper is the name she got from Wu Fujin, but in fact everyone calls it the pepper.

The nobles in Beijing like to be arty, especially for the rare things they got from foreigners.Paprika grows very beautifully, and some people regard it as an ornamental plant.And because of the difficulty in cultivation, a pepper plant in the capital can be sold for 100 taels of silver.

In addition, those people also gave the pepper an elegant name, lantern fruit.

She directed the royal chef to fry the sauce, and after a while, a scent rose in the air.It was probably the first time he smelled this pungent smell, and Liang Jiugong couldn't help but sneezed several times.

"Let the empress laugh."

Yunrou shook her head, "Elder-in-law said that the smell of pepper is pungent, and it will be like this when you first come into contact with it. I will ask someone to fry more base ingredients. If Eunuch likes it later, you can also try it. It is cold in winter, so spicy food The soup base is just right. After eating, I will sweat and feel comfortable.”

Liang Jiugong grinned, "That slave will have the cheek to point it out." As the chief eunuch of Kangxi, Liang Jiugong's food is not bad, he has already written down the ingredients prepared by Concubine Yun, except for a few that have not been added, the rest Qing Palace has both.

It is easy to make the soup base, she only needs to direct it at the beginning, and it will come out of it in a short while.When she came out, she happened to collide with the apricot-yellow prince.

Yunrou blesses her body slightly: "His Royal Highness."

Prince Yinreng also didn't expect to meet the concubines of Khan Ama's harem, he was slightly startled and then backed away, "Miss Yun."

This concubine is like a thunderbolt, the prince loves beauty, he thinks he has seen quite a few beauties, but none of them can compare to Concubine Yun.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Buyanu hid it tightly, and he discovered it at this time.

"Yun Rou has something to do with Ama Khan?" The prince didn't think about the meal, after all, Concubine Yun is not a queen, and Ama Khan asked him out today, so he didn't think he would call his concubine over.His first reaction was that Yun Bin was like those women, relying on being favored, she dared to intercept Huhan Ama on the first day of the new year.

Yunrou didn't know that the crown prince could think so much in a short while, she had a professional smile on her face, "It's nothing. The emperor announced that I will come to have dinner today."

Yinfeng: ...

What the hell, what Yunbi said, he didn't hear clearly.

Yunrou didn't intend to tell the prince too much, it's a rule to say hello when meeting, and it would be inappropriate to say too much to be seen by interested people.The prince and the young concubine will always arouse infinite reverie.

Therefore, after saying hello, she stepped aside.

The same is true for the prince, he chuckled lightly, with a mockery on his face, strode forward over Yunrou.Shaking his head while walking, he was really blinded by that face, he was actually a stupid one.

The prince is a frequent visitor to the Qianqing Palace, and his way of getting along with the emperor is different from others.After saluting and greeting, he said directly: "Ama Khan, I just met Concubine Yun at the door, and she said that you should invite her to have a meal together." He smiled, and told the emperor another joke as if very casually.

Unexpectedly, Kangxi nodded, "She's right, I announced her. In fact, today's meal is because of her."

The smile froze on his face, the prince didn't know what expression he should put on.He hesitated, "Ama Khan, it's inappropriate for the minister to be here, right?"

Kangxi didn't take it seriously. He saw the prince's inner thoughts and said, "What's inappropriate. I didn't know that Concubine Yun, Concubine Tong, Concubine Xuan, and your imperial grandmother are coming back. You should treat it as a family." Family banquet." At that time, the prince will definitely have a table with him, but eating in the same room, there is nothing wrong with it.

The prince was silent, well, he was sitting upright, and Khan Ama didn't feel embarrassed, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Kangxi beckoned him to come forward, and then gave him a sweet potato. "Come here and see what this is?"

The raw sweet potato was ice-cold, the prince carefully looked at it for a moment and honestly shook his head, "I have never seen this thing before."

"This is sweet potato, which was brought up by Concubine Yun as a tribute. Concubine Yun said it was something the common people used to satisfy their hunger. It's normal if you haven't seen it before." He knew the virtues of the officials below. How could it be sent to the prince.

He said with emotion: "Concubine Yun said that sweet potatoes don't pick the ground, sandy land produces the best. I was thinking, if this thing can be produced with energy, will the people not be hungry anymore."

Seeing that Khan Ama still cared about the common people on the first day of the new year, the crown prince was solemn, but he was a little puzzled: "Khan Ama said that this thing was given by Concubine Yun? Why did she think of giving Khan Ama this?" Tang's matter, want to increase the bargaining chip for yourself, so that Han Ama is more partial to her?

The timing was so coincidental that the prince had to doubt it.

Thinking of this Kangxi made him angry, he snorted softly, "How could she think of giving it to me? If I hadn't happened to meet her eating alone, I would have been kept in the dark." After all, it was a woman in the inner house, the first reaction when encountering a rare thing Just eat.

Is it really a coincidence?Concubine Yun is very lucky.

"So, Khan Ama ordered her to eat today?" the prince tentatively asked.

The first day of the new year was unusual, if he had to say that he thought it would be fine for Yunbi to give some rewards for her meritorious service, and there was no need to make face for her today.

"It's not all," he coughed lightly, and said uncomfortably, "I heard that she was going to have a pot with Concubine Xuan, and I heard that this thing can be eaten with rinsing, so I just had a whim."

When it comes to sweet potatoes and potatoes, Kangxi seems to have endless things to say, Yunrou saw that the prince went in and didn't come out for a long time, so she simply went to the small kitchen again.

She didn't go out until Concubine Xuan and the Queen Mother came over.

The Queen Mother was very kind to Yun Rou, "The Ai family has heard from Concubine Xuan that she is a good boy."

Concubine Yun smiled shyly: "It was my concubine's fault that I didn't think of the queen mother in the first place."

The queen mother shook her head, she knew that Yun Rou was not to blame for this matter.She had heard from Concubine Xuan that this was what refugees ate.Not to mention Yunrou, even Concubine De and Concubine Yi who have been with her for many years may not give her any sweet potatoes immediately.It's normal that Yunrou couldn't think of her.

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Tong arrived one after the other, and when everyone was present, Kangxi ordered the pot to be served.When he saw that there was a different color, he was puzzled. "Concubine Yun, what is this?" He has never eaten such a hot pot in his age.

"Back to the emperor, this is the slightly spicy pot base made by my concubine with hot pepper. In winter, eating something spicy can drive away the cold. The concubine also made an agreement with the concubine Xuan yesterday, and today I will treat her to a spicy pot. So So I decided to ask someone to make two kinds of soup bases. If the emperor doesn't like it, he can eat another kind, which is made from mutton bones."

Eating pots is to have fun, and this time there are only six people, so Kangxi simply ordered two pots to be made.He sat at the same table with the Queen Mother and the Prince, and Yun Rou, Concubine Xuan and Concubine Tong.

He turned his head and said to the Queen Mother: "Listen, Empress Dowager, if Concubine Xuan didn't want to try new things in her feelings, she would still be planning to eat alone without telling us."

The Queen Mother joked, "It's your fault, Concubine Yun. The Ai family should be punished. Well, why don't you make a few more pots for us to eat?"

Yun Rou smiled, "As long as the Queen Mother doesn't feel annoying, the concubine will be happy to serve you." Say yes if you don't want to, she is the Queen Mother after all.Not to mention that the queen mother has a good temper and will make her happy, she will even teach a few words about the way of life in the harem.

Yunrou felt that she had benefited a lot after going there twice.She also understood why Concubine De and Concubine Yi could remain in the emperor's harem for a long time.

The soup was simmering on the stove, and Yunrou introduced two rare things before eating. "This is the sweet potato vermicelli made by Chen Qie from sweet potatoes, and the one next to it is potato flour. These two are also good for the pot. Chen Qie ordered the people in the small kitchen to scald them before, and they can be eaten just like mutton. You don't need to wait." long time."

"Sweet potatoes and potatoes tend to germinate when the weather is hot, and eating germinated potatoes is easy to cause poisoning. If you make vermicelli, you don't have this problem, and you can store it properly and eat it for a year without any problem."

Liang Jiugong stepped forward to serve but was waved away by Kangxi, "Your master Yun must have left you soup, go, you don't need to serve here."

The most important thing about eating a pot is the atmosphere. It would be boring if people wait on you.

Pick up a piece of mutton and rinse it in the red soup, Kangxi put it in his mouth.

It was so spicy and pungent that it made him want to cry, but, "It's cool, everyone have a taste." It broke the rules to say this sentence without eating or sleeping, and then he didn't say anything, just concentrate on eating.

The pork, beef and mutton slices are very thin and can be eaten after a little rinsing.Kangxi did it himself, and the others followed suit.Everyone's first chopsticks are put into the spicy soup.

Concubine Xuan was delighted to eat it. The queen mother is too old to eat too much spicy food, and occasionally eat some lamb bone soup base. Only Concubine Tong gave up after taking a bite.She really can't get used to the taste.

Although the spicy one is not good, the bone soup is also good, and she is very satisfied with it.

A meal was enjoyed by the host and guests.

"It seems that foreigners are not all useless things. The sweet potatoes and potatoes from the servant's mansion have already been brought by someone. When the spring comes, Yunbi, you will second your Zhuangzi's style to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them They all learned how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes."

It was also at this time that Tong Guifei knew why the emperor wanted them to come to eat.

Yunpin made a contribution.
