Chapter 860
Dabao thought of the medicine that can change people's temperament, but when he came to look for it again, he didn't know where it fell, so he didn't mention it again.

It was almost the end of the new year, and everyone didn't leave, staying in Beilang Country to live a lively and happy New Year.

Xiang Qing thought that she hadn't cooked for a few days, so she decided to make some rice cakes to eat during the Chinese New Year, so she took everyone in the imperial dining room to make rice cakes by herself. People from poor families eat it, which is also an act of her love for the people.

While teaching everyone how to make rice cakes, Xiang Qing told everyone about the origin of the Spring Festival rice cakes.

Rice cake has a very old legend.

According to legend, in ancient times, there was a monster called "Nian", who lived in the deep mountains and old forests all year round. When he was hungry, he would catch other beasts to satisfy his hunger.

But in the severe winter season, most of the beasts hid and hibernated. When the "Nian" was so hungry, he went down the mountain to hurt the people, robbed people for food, and made the people unbearable.

Later, there was a clever tribe called the "Gao Clan". In severe winter, when the monsters were expected to go down the mountain to look for food, they made a lot of food in advance, rolled it into strips, pressed them into pieces and placed them outside the door. People hid home. When the "Nian" came, there was no one to eat, and people were hungry, so they filled their stomachs with strips of grain made by people, and returned to the mountains after they were full.

Seeing that the monster was gone, people came out of the house to congratulate each other, rejoicing that they had escaped the "year" hurdle, that they were safe and sound, and that they could prepare for spring farming again. Year after year, this method of avoiding the beast was passed down. .Because the grain strips are made by the Gao family, the purpose is to feed the "Nian" and pass the customs, so the "Nian" and "Gao" are combined together, and they are called rice cakes (homophonic)!

Rice cakes are not only a festival delicacy, but also bring new hope to people every year, implying that everything goes well every year.

Everyone listened with gusto. They also made rice cakes in previous years, but they were not as interesting as this year. I guess it was because of the stories they heard and Her Royal Highness doing it themselves. Everyone was very motivated.

Xiang Qing knew that there were rice cakes in this era, so she made eight-treasure cakes that modern people extended from ordinary rice cakes. The name is auspicious and delicious.

Babao cake, as the name suggests, has eight ingredients, glutinous rice, sugar, hemp seeds, green plums, raisins, preserved peaches, wax gourd strips, and white lotus.

The method is very simple. First wash the glutinous rice, soak it in water for a day and a night, steam it in a drawer, take it out and mash it and let it cool for later use; then mix sugar, hemp seeds, green plums, raisins, preserved peaches, wax gourd strips, and white lotus to make stuffing ; Then brush a layer of oil on the large square plate, spread the smashed glutinous rice, put an appropriate amount of filling in each layer, and spread three layers in total; finally, steam it in a pan and cut it into small pieces with a knife.

On New Year's Eve, everyone from Murong Zi down to the sweeping palace staff ate the eight-treasure cake made by Xiang Qing. Everyone sat around the stove, served hot tea and ate rice cakes, and felt that the New Year was more beautiful than this Yes, the eight-treasure cake tastes very good, it can be called delicious.

Except that everyone in the palace has a share, on New Year's Eve, Xiangqing asked people to take the rice cakes out of the palace and distribute them to the poor. The portion given by Qing is sufficient, enough for the whole family to eat, and if you save some, you can distribute it to some relatives and friends. It is a gift from the princess. How much face is it to say it?

For a while, the whole Northern Wolf Country no longer discriminated against those poor families, and expressed their envy. It turns out that being poor is good, at least you can get the grace of the heavenly family!
Dabao, Xiaobao and Yunzixun have never been able to resist Xiang Qing's delicacies. They ate the most rice cakes, followed by Gu Bu. After a year, the four of them gained several catties of meat. Bao was about to grow into a little fat man, so Xiang Qing had to control their food intake.
