Chapter 276

276 food

After taking a bath, Shen Qingru ordered Mo Yu to inquire where the kitchen in the army was. The old imperial concubine hasn't eaten any rice all day, and gning is also very tired. She wants to cook some delicious dishes for them herself.

The gang leader soldiers in the kitchen were cooking in full swing. When they saw Shen Qingru coming in with Mo Yu, they were stunned: "Miss, it's very salty here. You'd better go back early. If you have anything to eat, just tell me."

Shen Qingru smiled: "it doesn't matter. I want to cook two small dishes by myself. You just keep busy, you are."

Qianjingui girls, which one is not a cook? What can this charming little girl cook? The gang leader was surprised in his heart, but his words were particularly respectful: "I'll help you prepare what the young lady needs."

The ingredients in the kitchen are the most common things. Naturally, they can't be compared with the fine small kitchen in the Regent's house. Shen Qingru doesn't care. Anyway, she occasionally cooks by herself when she is at the frontier fortress. After several exercises, it shouldn't be dark cuisine.

The old princess likes sweet, soft and rotten food. As for what gning likes to eat, Shen Qingru doesn't know. Anyway, Genin is not a very particular person. When conditions permit, he can eat delicacies every day. When conditions permit, he can swallow turnips and pickles.

There are new dishes and fresh chicken, duck and pork in the kitchen. The old lady doesn't like pork. Shen Qingru decides to make her a steamed duck to replenish air. When I looked up, there happened to be a chestnut tree next to the camp. The tree was full of chestnuts. It was the mature season. It looked golden and yellow, especially coveted. Shen Qingru pointed to the group soldiers. The group soldiers immediately climbed up the chestnut tree like a monkey, picked some chestnuts quickly, took a big bag of clothes and handed it to Shen Qingru.

"Enough? Not enough. I'll go up and pick some more." the gang leader wiped a sweat forthrightly and jumped up again.

Shen Qingru smiled and nodded. The gang soldiers poured all the chestnuts in the clothes bag on the Kang. Shen Qingru and Mo Yuyu picked them up one by one and pulled them away, revealing the golden chestnuts. She took half of it and stewed it with the packed chicken to make a chestnut chicken. Shen Qingru ordered Mo Yu to boil the remaining half of the chestnut meat in water and grind it into mud with a mortar. She planned to make a plate of soft, waxy and sweet chestnut cake for the old lady.

The chestnut mud was quickly ground out. Shen Qingru cleaned his hands. He added some cake powder to the chestnut mud, kneaded it into small balls, and then touched it into small pieces, which were steamed with steamed duck in a large steamer. Soon the chestnut cake was steamed. Shen Qingru took a piece and ate it separately with the ink jade. It was soft, waxy and fragrant. It tasted good. He poured some brown sugar water on the chestnut cake, and ordered Mo Yu to send the plate of chestnut cake to the old lady's camp first. The old lady was hungry all day and needed to slowly feed some warm food.

When Mo Yu left, Shen Qingru asked the group of soldiers to cut some turnips, cut them carefully, sprinkle red chili powder and green green green onions, and then pour some fragrant sesame oil. A simple pickle also came alive. Shen Qingru ordered the soldiers to make more pickles and distribute them to the soldiers according to this method. The food in the military camp is rough, but with this refreshing turnip, the soldiers can also eat an extra bowl of rice.

Genin and all the generals discussed business in the camp. Men like meat, and Genin likes meat. Shen Qingru plans to make him a braised pork with fermented bean curd, cut the pork into small pieces the size of mahjong, and rinse it with hot water. Then throw the white sugar into the pot and fry the sugar color. When the frying is about the same, throw the cut meat in, stir fry it over the fire, and finally add the rotten milk. It is stewed in the pot, and the rest is just waiting for it to collect the juice slowly.

While waiting for the braised meat to be stewed, Shen Qingru commanded the soldiers to stew some warm-up soup with the largest pot in the kitchen for the soldiers to drink. In the soup, there were some fragrant and sweet wine, as well as bright red dates and yellow eggs. The soldiers drank such a bowl of glutinous rice and red dates wine to make soup, which not only warmed their bodies, but also relieved their greed that they could not drink.

The braised meat in the pot is stewed slowly. The thick oil red sauce is full of oily light. A thick smell of meat comes to the nose, mixed with the delicious taste of rotten milk, which makes people greedy. It happened that the cook had just steamed the steamed bread. Shen Qingru took a snow-white and soft steamed bread, cut everything in half from the middle, but didn't cut it off below. Then he put the braised meat in the middle of the steamed bread, and finally didn't forget to pour a little braised gravy in the middle.

"Send these to the Regent and them." Shen Qingru commanded the group soldiers to send the braised meat and chestnut chicken to gning, then quickly fried the long cut shredded potatoes, cut some pickled cabbage in the kitchen, sprinkled red pepper noodles, and sent the two meat and vegetables to gning.

Genin was discussing with the generals in the tent. The generals were absorbed, but a strong smell of meat suddenly came into the tent. Several generals couldn't help looking out of the account and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing that everyone was hungry, Genin ordered the gang to pass the meal.

Soon the group soldiers came in with a basin of things. A pot of fragrant braised meat, opened the lid, brown, greasy luster of braised meat came into sight, making people salivate. Someone was already swallowing water in the camp. The gang soldiers also specially sent newly steamed steamed bread. One of the steamed bread was also cut, with some braised meat in it. Gning took the steamed bread with meat and bit it down. The braised meat melted in the mouth. The steamed bread was soft, waxy and fragrant, and the smell of meat juice was absorbed in the middle. It was really delicious.

This way of eating is simple and rich. Men marching and fighting like it best. Seeing this eating method, the generals on one side immediately followed suit. One person took a steamed bread to clip meat pieces. Someone who ate fast had swallowed four or five steamed bread in one breath, but smacked his mouth like pig Bajie eating ginseng fruit. He wondered, "why did you eat all the taste before you tasted it?"

A large pot of braised meat soon came to an end. General Chen, deputy general of Genin, grabbed the pot directly and ate it with steamed bread dipped in the remaining broth. Even the pot was wiped clean.

The chestnut chicken tastes light, invigorates the spleen and kidney, and is also eaten clean by these big and rough people. One is spicy and refreshing, the other is tender and crisp. With the newly released hot steamed bread, although the food is simple, the cooking is fine. Compared with the meals in the army in the past, it is almost heaven and earth. This meal is full of twists and turns, The generals burped and picked their teeth contentedly.

"I said Lao Fang, your skill has improved a lot." a general patted his belly and praised the gang leader.

The group leader smiled: "general, this is the wrong person. Today's food is cooked by our eldest lady to honor the Lord."

"Oh?" the people were stunned. Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Regent's house cooked so delicious: "we're stained with the Lord's light today, ha ha..."

"Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Regent's palace can cook. She is really virtuous... Lord, is your daughter Xu Ren? My dog is 23 years old and looks like a dog. Look..." deputy general sun licked his face and said.

Gning's face looked like Changbai Mountain: "don't even think about it!" he had seen the boy of the old Sun family. People in their twenties looked like weak chickens and fell down when the wind blew. Even if the boy read well, but the waste wood was like that, the old sun actually wanted the waste wood toad to eat goose?

The food for the old lady needs to be made more exquisite.

The old imperial concubine has a light taste. In addition to the stewed duck, Shen Qingru made a stir fried seasonal vegetable and put a little fuel consumption in the store, so the vegetables are fresh and refreshing. Then he took some tenderloin and asked the cook to chop it into meat paste. Shen Qingru took a few eggs and beat them well, and then fried them into thin egg skins. Then cut the egg skin into small pieces of 4cm square, wrap it with stuffing mixed with tenderloin, lotus root and pod, steam it in a steamer and serve it as a snack for the old lady.

The old imperial concubine saw that the dishes brought up still had no appetite, but she heard that they were made by Shen Qingru. She still used a few egg skin dumplings to save face. She smiled and praised: "my granddaughter is really clever."

The stewed duck meat was refreshing and not greasy. The old lady drank a large bowl of duck soup and ate a few mouthfuls of the stewed and rotten duck meat. The cook obviously inquired about the old lady's taste and made a stack of sesame paste pancakes to eat with the duck soup. The old lady rarely picked up a sesame paste pancake and ate it. Slowly, there was food in her stomach.

At the end of a meal, Shen Qingru kept talking and laughing with the old lady, which made the old lady feel refreshed and eat a lot more. However, the old princess's mood was obviously still very bad. It was only due to Shen Qingru's presence that she reluctantly smiled from time to time.

"I don't know how your sister Mingzhu is now..." the old princess sighed with a sad face, obviously worried about Xu Mingzhu. Glening has sent someone to meet Xu Mingzhu, but there is still no news until now.

"Sister Mingzhu's auspicious person has her own appearance, so grandma doesn't have to worry too much." Shen Qingru comforted. Even so, Xu Mingzhu was in the palace and didn't know whether she could be rescued. If it falls into the hands of Yan Rujia, and Yan Rujia threatens the Regent with Xu Mingzhu as a hostage, what should we do?

"My poor pearl, I said long ago that she shouldn't be allowed to enter the palace by her temper. If she has a long and short life, I don't want to live..." the old lady's most distressed thing is Xu Mingzhu, who was raised by herself. The old lady became very sad at the thought that Xu Mingzhu's life and death are unknown in the palace now. More than half a day has passed, and there is still no news from the people sent to meet. It seems that Xu Mingzhu is more or less bad.
