Chapter 431 Cooking for the Empress Dowager

Aunt Lan took her to the kitchen, smiled and said:

"It's time for the Empress Dowager to eat, so please hurry up."

She looked around the kitchen and found that all kinds of materials were quite complete, and said generously and naturally:

"There's nothing wrong with this, but there's still one thing the girl needs to ask Aunt Lan about."

Although she was a little puzzled and didn't know what the girl wanted to ask, she still said:

"If you have any questions, girl Tong, just ask."

"It's not a big problem. I just want to ask Aunt Lan for advice. Which one does the Empress Dowager prefer? In this way, I can make the food that the Empress Dowager likes more conveniently."

She patiently expressed her thoughts. In this palace, she did not want to cause any misunderstanding.

After listening to what she said, Aunt Lan also looked at her with more liking and appreciation. This girl still has a caring and delicate heart.

It can be seen that she is really cooking for the Queen Mother with a gratified smile on her face.

"The Empress Dowager's taste is light, avoid greasy food, but recently she has lost her appetite, so you have to worry more."

After hearing Aunt Lan's words, she already had several appetizing dishes in her mind, so she immediately said with a smile:

"It's not hard, this is what I should do, thank you Aunt Lan for your suggestion."

Seeing that this girl is so smart, she felt relieved, put away the smile on her face, and said to the two maids beside her:

"The two of you should help the Tong girl to prepare the dishes."

"Yes, Auntie."

As the voices of the two maids fell, Aunt Lan had already left the kitchen.

She looked at the two delicate little maids, and said gently:

"Can you two kill fish and chop vegetables?"

One of them smiled and replied:
"Don't worry, girl, the two of us were trained by Aunt Lan to cook for the Queen Mother since we were young, and we know everything in the kitchen."

If this is the case, she is more relieved, and said with a smile:

"Okay, then I don't have to worry about anything. You can help me kill a whole fish and cut some shredded potatoes."

After she finished speaking, the two palace maids went to do things very skillfully as expected, seeing their crisp and neat feeling, they really knew how to do it.

She also returned to her senses and started making soup. This elderly person always needs some soup for a meal.

Those appetizing soups flashed quickly in her mind, and suddenly a very unique soup name flashed, her eyes lit up, and she immediately looked at the maid beside her and asked:

"Is there any ume here?"

The little palace lady peeling the potatoes frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and found something sealed with oil paper in a cabinet, opened it to reveal red and black ebony plums, the little palace lady beamed with joy, and said happily:

"Tong girl, here are ebony plums."

She took it over and took a look, the ebony plums inside were plump and big, bright in color, and covered with a thin layer of icing sugar. It seemed to be a fine product, and it really was something from the palace.

That's right, the soup she planned to make was ebony soup. The queen mother had no appetite, probably because of the heavy internal heat in autumn and poor digestion in the intestines.

This black plum soup is sweet and sour, it can stimulate the stomach, it is a good appetizer.

Its cooking method is very simple and does not require much effort. You only need a few ebony plums, soak them in warm water for a while, put them in the water and boil them on high heat, then turn to low heat and cook slowly, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, and then let it cool. drink.

After her ebony soup was ready, the two girls also prepared the dishes she wanted.

After soaking the shredded potatoes in clean water, remove them and drain the water, heat the oil in the pan, put the shredded potatoes and stir fry for a few times, then put the shredded green and red peppers in, stir fry evenly, add a small amount of vinegar and salt It's ready to serve.

Then quickly cleaned the pot, and made another dish of hot and sour fish. Although the queen mother likes light food, occasionally eating a little spicy food will also appetize. The spicy taste of this dish is not too strong, and she has controlled the amount of chili.

Then there is a sweet and sour pork ribs, which is a famous dish, and the taste is naturally needless to say.

The two little girls stared wide-eyed, watching her cooking like a cloud and flowing water, and seeing the delicious dishes after each dish, the expressions on their faces changed from surprise to enjoyment.

And the way of cooking was something they had never seen before, and they were originally specialized in cooking, so the two little maids admired her very much.

When he smelled the aroma of sweet and sour pork ribs, he took a deep breath uncontrollably, closed his eyes with an intoxicated expression, and sighed from the bottom of his heart:

"It's delicious!"

She turned her head and glanced at the two girls, they looked a little cute too.

"You two are exaggerating."

The two of them heard her voice, knowing that the girl Tong had seen their obsession just now, their faces were a little hot, and they lowered their heads and said:
"Miss Tong, the dishes you cook are really delicious. We learned cooking from many people, but none of them are as delicious as your cooking."

"Yes, you use it in a different way."

Seeing the happy looks of the two girls, she smiled and said:

"Then watch carefully, and you can try it yourself next time."

With the last cold bean sprouts, all the dishes she was going to cook tonight are ready, she clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, the dishes are done, you two can go and inform Aunt Lan."

The two girls nodded quickly and ran out.

After a while, Aunt Lan came over with a few young maids, looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, took another breath of fragrance, a trace of surprise flashed in her shrewd eyes, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and said:

"Come along, girl Tong, the queen mother wants to see you."

"Yes."

She followed Aunt Lan and approached the place where the Empress Dowager had her meal. As soon as she entered the door, she saw an old man with white hair and a Buddhist bead in his hand sitting in the large hall, surrounded by maidservants. This is the Queen Mother.

The maids around the old man saw them coming in and whispered something beside the queen mother, the queen mother opened her eyes.

Looking at her, there was a loving smile on the old face that had gone through vicissitudes of life, and the voice also had the power to comfort people's hearts.

"You are the virgin girl mentioned by Tianjue, right? Look at this clever appearance, it is really rare."

She looked at the Empress Dowager, not daring to take it lightly for a while, and said respectfully:

"The daughter of the people pays homage to the Queen Mother."

Seeing such a villain saluting respectfully, with such a serious face, she laughed, and while looking at her personal maid Lan Xin, said slowly:
"Look at this girl, don't you frighten others?"

Aunt Lan knew the Queen Mother's temperament, and agreed:
"Young lady, you don't have to be so cautious, otherwise the queen mother will think it's the old slave who reprimanded you."

Looking at the appearance of the master and the servant, she suddenly felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be really gentle, and she was not like an ordinary court lady at all to Aunt Lan. Obviously, only friends would talk like this.

In my heart, I like the easy-going Queen Mother a little more. Looking at the layout of the palace, I am afraid that she is also a Buddhist.
