Princess of the auxiliary country

"Go ahead, mother, wait."

Princess Ningyang was naturally overjoyed that her daughter was interested, especially since her daughter was careful just now to worry about her getting cold and told Aunt Zhao to prepare a cloak.

It made her extremely satisfied.

Huo Junyao turned around and walked out of the pavilion, and called Xiaochan over again.

"Have you done all the beans I told you to get?"

Huo Junyao, who was tired of the local food in the Yu Dynasty, had long been secretly trying to improve the food.

So when I was free to write the greenhouse plan yesterday, I asked Xiaochan to tell the kitchen to help her soak a lot of beans.

The recipes of the Yu Dynasty were very simple, unlike those in later generations where there were all kinds of fried, stir-fried and deep-fried dishes.

There are only three main cooking methods here, steaming, boiling and roasting.

The mutton soup cakes that she already hated were made by mixing steamed cakes with boiled mutton soup.

As for roasting, she also tried it, but unfortunately, the taste was really not good.

Barbecued meat, without chili and cumin, is equivalent to having no soul. Although it is relatively more delicious than the mutton soup puff pastry, it is still far from her standards.

"It's done. I went over to see it this morning."

"What do you want these beans for, Miss?"

"Of course it's delicious."

With that said, she pulled Xiaochan towards the kitchen.

In the Yu Dynasty, not only were the cooking methods single, but there were also very few ingredients.

No, it can’t be said to be less. To be precise, many things have not yet been developed. For example, soy products such as tofu are not available here.

And this is one of her favorite foods, and there are many side dishes made with tofu.

For example, her favorites in her previous life were mapo tofu, bean curd rice, and tofu fish soup.

She doesn't have the ability to make mapo tofu yet. As for the bean curd rice, it will be greatly reduced without the chili flavor.

But she can make tofu and fish soup. That thing will definitely be much better than the mutton soup puff pastry she eats every day.

When she arrived in the kitchen, she first looked at the beans. They were foaming well. Then she asked Xiaochan to find a stone mill.

He also called the cooks in the back kitchen and taught them how to grind beans.

Then someone went to find some salt brine.

Because there are not too many beans, they are ground, filtered, boiled, and brine added in a short time.

After working hard for a while, I finally got it done.

The tofu she made was not the dry tofu cubes, but the living water tofu that was very common in the Chongqing area in her previous life.

It is very tender and smooth. Although it is not the best ingredient for making tofu and fish soup, it is very good. Mainly, this is the only way she can make it now.

She learned this after studying with the dean many times in her previous life.

As for other types, it’s not too late to take some time to study them later.

She had just finished it when Hongxiu came back, leading four or five large crucian carp.

Huo Junyao directly asked the cooks to take over and clean it up.

After searching around in the kitchen for a while, I found a small charcoal stove and an earthen clay pot.

To stew tofu and fish soup, this kind of utensil is most suitable.

Another round of busy work, the fish soup has begun to bubble, the milky white fish soup is tumbling, and the slightest fragrance is filling the kitchen.

Seeing that the heat was almost done, she added the tofu, seasoned, and simmered over low heat.

"Xiaochan, just keep an eye here for a quarter of an hour. Then you can send it to me."

"Okay, miss." Huo Junyao then left the kitchen.

As soon as she left, the cooks gathered around and looked at the tofu and fish soup on the small charcoal stove with Jinshi's eyes filled with wonder.

Especially the white and tender tofu, it was something new that they had never seen before.

They had all participated in the regular production process, but they never expected that the fishy beans would change drastically under the skillful hands of their ladies.

"I don't know what this thing tastes like?"

"Would you like to try it?"

When a cook said this, Xiaochan immediately became furious.

"You are brave. The young lady made this with her own hands to honor Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess. Who are you? Since you dare to attract this thing's attention, do you want to die?"

The cooks were immediately frightened and lowered their heads fearfully to express their acknowledgment of their mistake.

"It's not impossible to taste what it tastes like. Did you all see what the lady did just now?"

The cooks nodded.

"There is some tofu left over there. Make some of it yourself. Remember to leave a portion for me."

Xiaochan also likes to eat, and the hot smell is really tempting. She also wants to try it.

"Miss Xiaochan, those things were made by Miss. If we use them, will Miss blame us?"

"No, the lady just said that these things will not taste good after being left overnight, so let me deal with them."

After hearing her words, the cooks immediately became excited and began to work together.

Some of the cooks were thinking of ways to catch fish. They all saw the crucian carp just now. It is very common and can be found in many small ponds and ditches. It is easy to catch a few.

On the other side, Huo Junyao returned to the courtyard and saw Princess Ningyang still sitting in the pavilion.

She hurriedly walked over. At this time, the sun had begun to set, the temperature dropped quickly, and it was already a little cool.

"Mom, why are you still here? Come into the house quickly."

Hearing this, Princess Ningyang looked at her with a smile. Seeing that she didn't bring anything, she couldn't help but curiously asked, "Didn't you go make some food?"

She was really looking forward to the delicious food her daughter said.

Now that I see my daughter coming back empty-handed, I feel a little disappointed.

"Oh, it's still stewing. It will take a while before you can eat it. I've told Xiaochan to bring it over when it's done. Mom, let's go to the house."

Hearing this, Princess Ningyang's initial disappointment immediately disappeared.

It turns out it’s not done yet.

"it is good."

The mother-in-law went to the house together, and after sitting there for a while, Xiaochan came.

I brought the tofu and fish soup made by Huo Junyao, and the casserole used for stewing was also replaced by a more exquisite porcelain jar.

As soon as the things were delivered, a hint of fragrance wafted out. Princess Ningyang sniffed, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, this is the delicacy made by the young lady herself."

After saying that, Xiaochan reached out and opened the lid of the porcelain jar, and a cloud of white air filled the air with a rich aroma.

The appearance is very good, with milky white hot, white tofu, and some chopped green onions sprinkled on top. Just looking at it makes people think that the taste is definitely not bad.

In addition to the fish soup brought by Xiaochan, other foods were also prepared in the kitchen. After all, it was already dinner time.

At this moment, the only thing in Princess Ningyang's eyes was the fish soup, which was made by her own daughter.

She had never thought before that one day she would be able to eat food cooked by her daughter.

For a moment, his eyes turned red.
