I went back to ancient times to do business with my game account

Chapter 246 Emergencies
In the huge round plate, there is a beautiful pavilion.The body of the building is made of dough sculpture, green tiles are painted with courgette juice, and the paint of the building body is made of carrot juice.

What is even more amazing is that if there is only one building on the plate, it would be monotonous, but this plate is full of lifelike peonies around the building, including Yao Huang Zhao Fan, Bing Qingbai and Luoyang Red. Steamed with noodle leaves, the flowers are clustered together, elegant and luxurious!
Tiny silver bells are hung on the four corners of the building, wrapped in red paper and hung with silk tassels, to imitate red lanterns. When the wind blows or shakes slightly, it will make a pleasant and crisp bell.

Such a majestic and delicate watch is rare even at a palace banquet, which made all the girls exclaim.

Li Yuan swallowed her saliva: "It's a pity that this dish can only be seen but not eaten!"

Princess Linjin was a little helpless, with a doting smile on her face, she tapped her head lightly: "This is an air-dried dough figurine, eat this, and you won't be afraid to knock your teeth off, baby girl."

Li Yuan held her head pitifully: "I'm hungry! The dishes are already here, isn't it coming soon?"

The women quickly removed the dim sum and carefully placed the plate in the middle of the table. Then, another maid with a food box stepped forward and quickly arranged six dishes in front of everyone.

Qiao Yun understood, this is the cold dish she prepared.

She will sign up for each dish.

Yam is also yam. After steaming, add milk and sugar, mash it into a puree, press it into a peach blossom shape with a mold, and then pour a jam made of rose marinade and mulberry. It is "Jade Paste He Fangchen", which is a high-value version of the fruit yam.

"Wow, it turns out that this is the flower blooming and wealth, not to mention, it really looks like a flower!" Xie Zhimei stared at the courgette mixed with eggs and looked around.

Slice the courgettes into thin slices, roll them into rolls, put them on a plate, put a few sliced ​​hard-boiled eggs on top, and pour a sour and delicious sauce, and that's it.

Xie Zhiying smacked her lips: "I think this yam dish should be called flowers blooming and rich."

"Then what do you call this courgette egg that looks like a flower?" Xie Zhimei glared at her coquettishly: "Isn't it more appropriate to call it Yupao for cakes made of yam paste?"

Li Yuan looked at the pickled agate radish eagerly: "So this is the rising sun, what is it?"

Qiao Yun replied: "It's agate radish. It's a specialty product in Nanzhao, and it only grows in warm and humid places. Tan Niang brought the seeds back and bred them in Yangzhou. I asked Yangzhou's Dingshiji to rush them over. "

That's the way it is, no wonder she never ate anything like this in the palace!

Agate radishes are originally ruddy in color. After being cut into comb-toothed slices and marinated with rice vinegar and orange peel, the color faded a little and turned into a beautiful water red color. The oozing radish juice also stained the marinade juice. , shallowly spread in a small dish, it is really like the sea reflecting the morning glow when the sun rises.

"Looking at the bright red water, it's no wonder it's called agate."

Wang Jinzhi was relieved to see a plate of pickled agate radishes in front of everyone.She thought to herself, fortunately there were four of them who didn't come, and they could just distribute the agate radishes that were originally ordered for them to other guests. Among other things, at least their two tables would not be short.

Otherwise, they would all call each other sisters, one has it, the other doesn't, it's too ugly.

In this table of hors d'oeuvres, there is no good-looking one.

Hetian Fangyu, the wobbly white jade-like lactone tofu is dotted with black jade-like preserved eggs, poured with a light-colored sauce, sprinkled with a handful of walnuts and shallots, black and white are as distinct as The yin and yang are polarized, and the appetite is greatly increased when you look at it.

Yunshengjiehai is to chop the spinach after blanching, then fry the egg and milk with ghee until it looks like a soft cloud. In the mold, one layer of spinach and one layer of egg are stacked in three layers, and two pieces of dark green are sandwiched. A layer of light yellow, sprinkled with a layer of roasted white sesame seeds on the surface, like a layer cake, very visual impact.

Originally, this dish was a fat-reducing recipe, and the taste was mediocre.Qiao Yun didn't want to let her dishes look unappetizing, so she made drastic changes.

Originally, after blanching the spinach, just mix it with salt and sesame oil. Qiao Yun did not do this. She changed the sesame oil into a thick chicken broth, and garnished it with expensive pepper, so that the spinach tasted delicious and did not overwhelm the skin. too dull.

The scrambled eggs in the middle were just ordinary scrambled eggs, but Qiao Yun changed them into Western-style scrambled eggs, and beat the egg whites and yolks separately, making the whites look like waves hitting the beach. Foam, which is called wet foam in modern times, is then mixed with the egg yolk liquid that has been beaten evenly with milk, and finally it is slowly fried in a pan.

The process of hand-beating egg whites is done by the little guys of Ding Shi Ji. Anyway, they do a lot of work on weekdays, so they are not afraid of tired hands.

After the maids put all the dishes on the table, the woman who was holding the plate just now stepped forward to salute and said, "My daughters and Your Royal Highness, the plate of starters is ready."

"Appetizer? That means there are other dishes in the back!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, including this dish, there are a total of nineteen dishes, twelve of which are small dishes for sharing, and six large dishes."

"Then we are lucky!" Yang Yi stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips.

More than a dozen maidservants came forward holding copper basins and fragrant handkerchiefs.In the copper basin is water sprinkled with flower petals to clean hands.

Everyone put their hands into the clear water as usual, flicked the water on the back of their hands a few times, and then picked up the champagne held by another maid to dry them.After all, they are all daughters whose fingers do not touch the spring water, whose hands will touch dirty things?

Qiao Yun had watched Dream of the Red Chamber, and she understood it the moment she saw the maid coming.She also wiped her hands after they were slightly wet. Before she came here from the kitchen, she had carefully cleaned her fingers and even the crevices of her nails with soap, and it was just a formality at this moment.

When Wang Qingyun first saw the copper basin, he was still a little puzzled. After quietly observing how other people wash their hands, he learned how to clean his hands in a decent manner.

While cleaning his hands, he lamented that a big family has rules.

Presumably my own family used to clean their hands like this before eating!Unfortunately, I can't go back.

But why did the merchant girl look used to it?
After washing their hands, the ladies looked at each other in blank dismay.

Li Yuan said tentatively: "There are no outsiders here, so let's eat directly."

Princess Linjin glared at her: "You are the only one who is greedy."

Wang Jinzhi asked the mother-in-law who came with her maid: "Is there a banquet with Father and Mother?"

The mother-in-law replied respectfully: "Back to the eldest lady, there are two other maidservants to serve and clean her hands."

That is not far from the seat.

Wang Jinzhi said: "Don't worry about them, let's eat!"

"If we don't have a feast, 25 Niang will faint from hunger." Someone joked, and everyone burst into laughter, picking up their chopsticks one after another to pick up the dishes they wanted to eat a long time ago.

"Hiss...the rich and rich seasoning sauce is actually red, so fragrant, what is it?"

"It's chili." Qiao Yun shook the pot without hesitation: "Tan Niang recently discovered a fruit that is very spicy when eaten directly. I fried it into chili oil and gave up the spicy chili paste. I just borrowed it." I ordered some red oil with the aroma of dried chilies, mixed with vinegar, is it delicious?"

"Delicious!" The girl blushed and covered her mouth with the hand holding the chopsticks, as if she was ashamed of her gaffe in the face of delicious food.

"Try this Rising Sun, it's delicious, this dish is beautiful and delicious!" Li Yuan exclaimed repeatedly after picking up a piece of agate radish.

The bright red radish is festive, sour and sweet, icy and cool, and has a little orange fragrance when you taste it carefully.She ate too much snacks just now, and she was a little tired and flustered, this mouthful of radish was refreshing and sour like a spring, from the tip of her tongue all the way to her stomach, the sweet, greasy and heavy discomfort was swept away.

"This egg is not bad." Yang Yi gently picked up a little egg from Yunshengjiehai with chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.It is fluffy and soft, with a little milky fragrance. When you close your eyes, you feel as if you have fallen into a soft cloud.

Eat this egg, so happy!

Wang Jinzhi also bowed her head contentedly, savoring the food carefully.

It has to be said that it was an extremely correct decision to set up a table separately from outsiders. When you have a table with your close sisters, you can only immerse your body and mind in the food itself.If they were sitting outside together, they would have to socialize with people they don't know very well on weekdays, it would be so annoying, how could they be in the mood to eat food!
Soon, the hot dishes came.

Because it needs to keep warm, hot dishes are served one by one. The first dish is called Zhitian Jifeng, which is roasted chicken with mushrooms.The chicken skin is first brushed with rice vinegar and baked in the oven, so the chicken skin is crispy and crispy. Cut into pieces before serving, topped with stewed shiitake mushrooms and stewed shiitake mushroom soup, the flavor is very unique.

"Miss Qiao, Miss Qiao, it's not good!"

While all the ladies were savoring the delicacies, a servant girl rushed over from the front yard and knelt down with a plop in front of the crowd.

"What's so rude and flustered?"

The interest was interrupted, and the faces of all the girls were ugly.Wang Jinzhi lowered her face and asked in a deep voice.

The maid said anxiously: "There is something wrong with the vegetarian table... Your ladies said that there was meat on the table, and they want you to come over and give me an explanation!"
