My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 90 Vegetables

Shu Shu listened carefully, kept it in mind, and then talked about the nanny.

Concubine Yi meant that she was not optimistic about the Gao family, and had to wait and see who would be chosen.

Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Shu Shu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you guilty?"

Brother Jiu lay down on the kang, pillowing his arms: "Anyway, it's awkward... It seems that the master was very stupid at the time..."

Shu Shu didn't force her, she just said: "It's already the middle of the month, when will Sheng Jia leave..."

"It's time to leave after the summer, probably at the end of the month..."

Brother Nine replied.

Shu Shu thought about the dishes.

When the time comes to travel with a large army, the supply of dining rooms will not be received once a day like now, and board and lodging will mostly be arranged uniformly.

No one among the queen mother and the emperor dared to neglect, like their younger princes, Fujin might be the same as before.

Traveling is hard work, if you don't eat well...

Shu Shu didn't dare to think about it.

Brother Nine also thought about eating, but Brother Ten was thinking about it.

"Old Ten is greedy, no matter whether he is in the entourage this time or not, I will prepare the food so that he won't ramble about it later."

Ninth elder brother claimed to be a good brother, so he couldn't help but worry.

Shu Shu had no objection, then looked at the two boxes and sighed: "I didn't mention this to Sister-in-law Wu, it was Sister-in-law who thought of it when she heard about Nanny Liu..."

As for the others, Shu Shu didn't say anything.

Persuasion is also persuasion, the rest is up to her to choose.

Life is alive, everything is according to one's heart.

For Wu Fujin, it may be more comfortable to insist on arrogance than to live a smooth life like himself.

Brother Jiu sat up, originally wanted to open the box, but after looking at Shu Shu's stomach, he became discouraged again.

In the clan, there is no princely mansion with no sons and concubines...

Pure Prince's Mansion, because Khan Ama sent the seventh elder brother there before, even if there is no official heir, it is not easy to choose another heir.

In Prince Zhuang's mansion, Prince Zhuang Boguoduo is fifty, with only three daughters under his knees, without an elder brother, and he still has not extinguished his desire to have a son...

It's not that there are no distant clans eyeing the heirs of the two princes' houses, but the clans are also divided into many branches, and even if they pass the heir, they will only choose the close cousins.

The closest branch of the Pure Prince's Mansion is the royal family and the other two Prince's Mansions.

In Prince Zhuang's mansion, Bo Guoduo has brothers and a whole family of nephews, all of whom are covetously thinking about the title of prince.

It's a pity that Bo Guoduo has a bad relationship with his younger brother, and he only cares about giving birth to his son.

I won't be like Bogoduo in the future, will I?
Because of the noble status of the first Fujin, he did not dare to set up any side Fujin, but he raised a concubine from the whole family.

It's a joke in the clan that they don't choose looks, they just look at whether they are suitable for men, and they even accept several widows.

Brother Nine was inexplicably guilty and glanced at Shu Shu.

Shu Shu is not as generous as Prince Zhuang Fujin.

If I dare to make a joke, I'm afraid she will make me a joke first.

How did Shu Shu think that brother Jiu still misses his "heir", and he has already started to think about the way.

To be resistant to preservation.

The best choice is all kinds of pickles and pickles.

After all, at the end of July and the beginning of August, the temperature is not low, and the stewed vegetables are easy to deteriorate.

Shu Shu thought of the famous dish of the Red Mansion, eggplant, which has been restored by many food bloggers in later generations.

Eggplant sounds like it doesn't come with sauce, but it can be regarded as a pickle. Because of the high oil and salt, it is relatively durable.

Shu Shu thought about it, so she asked someone to call Xiaotang, and said: "You remember a gourmet recipe I saw in the idle book earlier, try to make it..."

After hearing this, Xiaotang took it seriously and took a pen and paper to record it.

Shu Shu recalled the description in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and started to talk: "Peel and remove the flesh of the tender eggplant, just clean the meat, cut into small cubes, fry the chicken, and then use chicken breast, spiced tofu, magnolia slices, shiitake mushrooms, Dried fruits of various colors, cut into cubes, simmered in chicken soup to dry, collected with sesame oil, mixed with bad oil, received in jars and sealed well..."

Xiaotang memorized them one by one, and felt strange: "Since it's called Eggplant, shouldn't it be posted?"

Cui itself refers to dried fish that has been planed and dried in the sun. Many things with similar shapes are named "Liu", such as "bamboo bamboo shoots" and "meat fish".

Shu Shu smiled.

In her previous life, she was a red fan, and she read many articles related to "Dream of Red Mansions".

Indeed, because of this name, some people questioned the practice of eggplant.

In the Qi preface of "A Dream of Red Mansions", the practice of "eggplant" is mentioned.

It is still the eggplant to take the clean meat, and then cut it into hair-thin strands instead of dicing, use chicken soup as the base, steam it nine times and dry it nine times. Mix in the fried chicken breast.

According to the name of "eggplant", the method of nine steaming and nine drying is more in line with the name.

Shu Shu also talked about this method, and encouraged Xiaotang: "Try both... and the pork jerky and pork dates that we made before entering the palace, you can prepare them... Tell Sun Jin, these few days Tian Duo will run to the imperial dining room to see what ingredients come in, don't be stingy with money..."

Brother Jiu was beside him, he was speechless and interested: "What's the title of the book? The dishes sound more complicated than imperial meals, but the taste is almost the same... Are there any other recipes in it?"

It's hard for Shu Shu to say the title of the book.

Who knows if "Dream of Red Mansions" is a book now? !
After all, there are two theories about the later generations of "Dream of Red Mansions". One is that it was written during the Kangxi period. The story in the book is "Pearl's Family Affair". copyist".

One theory is that the book was written during the Qianlong period, and it was written by Cao Xueqin, the grandson of Cao Yin, about the rise and fall of the family.

Everyone has their say.

But Brother Nine mentioned the recipe, Shu Shu thought of one: "There is also a tofu skin bun, I can try it tonight..."

Tofu skin buns.

The main ingredient is tofu skin.

This happened to be that the dining room had been prepared early, so it was served later, and the famous red building was successfully restored.

Elder Brother Ten was not polite when it came to eating, so he stepped on the order to come over.

He couldn't come here a few days ago, and he was suffocated.

Elder Brother Shi came here to announce the good news, and sure enough this time the retinue also added his name.

"I've got Brother Ninth's favor, it's not good to leave me with Brother Nine..."

Elder Brother Shi knew it well, lowered his volume and said, "But I'm thinking about it, most likely I'm still in the favor of Sister-in-law Nine...Yi'eniang's two daughters-in-law took Fifth Sister-in-law out, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, and they followed the emperor in private. Ma begged for mercy..."

Brother Jiu thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "That's not the empress' style...The empress never speaks about her children..."

"What's the reason for that?"

Apart from this, Elder Brother Ten couldn't think of anything else.

As for feeling sorry for my son...

Elder Brother Shi couldn't have imagined that, after all, the two of them were in the same rank, and they were used to being ignored.

Both of them didn't understand, so they put aside and didn't think about it.

The dining table is set in the front yard. Besides meat and vegetarian dishes, there are steamed stuffed buns with tofu skin, and a dish of Yi noodles with sesame sauce, which Elder Brother Ten ordered to eat earlier.

In the study a few days ago, Shu Shu gave this to brother Jiu, which surprised several little brothers.

It's just that after various things were delayed, it was inconvenient for Brother Ten to come over later, so he had to ask someone to send it over, so that he could properly order food today.

After eating a large plate of Yi noodles with sesame sauce, the mouth was full, and the ten princes brought up the tofu skin buns.

"This steamed stuffed bun is exquisite, but it's too small for vegetarian..."

The two brothers were eating in the study room in the front yard, and Elder Brother Shi commented without shame: "I can't get enough to eat in a few baskets... Tell me, this one is suitable for assorted stuffing, add it to the vegetarian restaurant..."

Brother Jiu nodded: "I copied the prescription later, and sent a copy to the empress..."

The queen mother in the palace believed in Buddhism and behaved well, so the concubines also set up more Buddhist rooms.

There are not many people who eat long fast, but there are many people who eat fast on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

Shu Shu was also reminded.

What better convenience food than Yi Mian?

Other than that, it’s instant soup.

Seaweed shrimp skin is dried, and then chopped green onion and shredded ginger are dried, and thirteen spices and salt are added to make a simple soup.

But Shu Shu felt that this was a more suitable servant to follow.

In the master's and son's generation, there will be no shortage of supplies and food, and the followers who follow are probably all big pot dishes, and there is no room for additional dishes...

The ten or so days of work passed in the days of packing the luggage.

In a blink of an eye, it was July [-]th, the day before Shengjia's northern tour.

Shu Shu woke up early, with a bit of excitement.

Brother Jiu's body has been recuperating for more than ten days, and the aftereffects of the heat are almost healed, but he is still very thin.

Seeing Shu Shu sitting in front of the dressing table and carefully dressing up, Brother Jiu couldn't help but taste: "I'm just looking forward to going back to my mother's house..."

The main purpose of the young couple going out of the palace today is to pick gifts for the elders of Guo Luoluo's parents in Shengjing, and by the way, Shu Shu can go back to her mother's house.

In order not to mobilize the crowd, Shu Shu didn't send anyone to send a message, and planned to surprise Amagene.

Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu lightly, and said angrily, "Who is to blame? I was hoping for the convenience of coming in and out before, so I often go to visit and greet Amagene for me..."

Brother Nine immediately felt guilty and shut his mouth honestly.

A few days ago, he was ordered to investigate the "rumors" and he could go out of the palace every day, but he didn't go to the Dutong Mansion.

Always procrastinating intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, in his heart, he was very guilty and dared not see his parents-in-law.

The last time he saw his father-in-law lose his temper, he couldn't bear to hide it and told about his situation.

The father-in-law is kind, and all he said were comforting words, but the mother-in-law...

Dutong Mansion has five sons...

If Shu Shu didn't marry herself, but married someone else, she would have many children...

Brother Jiu was afraid of attracting resentment from his mother-in-law.

In addition to the unclear rumors, I didn't figure it out, and I was worried that Dong E's family had misunderstood.

Both the young couple are wearing ordinary clothes, which will neither reveal their identities nor appear abrupt.

This time, besides Xiaochun, He Yuzhu and the others, the two of them also brought Nanny Zhou.

Nanny Zhou's luggage was also carried by two eunuchs, and she has been out of the palace since today.

Before, Shu Shu was thinking about her going out of the palace, but now that the young couple is accompanying her, there is no need for the old mother to stay in the palace, so Brother Jiu sent someone to say hello to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and reported the "old sickness" " Withdrew from the palace book.
