Chapter 416

Yaoqin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then showed a light smile, stepped forward again, and said in a low voice before the black-clothed little eunuch changed his face: "I came here to check the preparation of the meal on the order of my master, and I also asked the little father-in-law to be accommodating." ”

In fact, the little eunuch also recognized Yaoqin as the palace maid with a face next to Erfu, but his accusation was to guard the kitchen door and ensure that no one had a chance to do anything, so he would come forward to intercept Yaoqin, and not any radical means.

"Don't say that, girl. Seeing that Yaoqin was so polite, he was saluting and giving a reward, so he hurriedly took two steps back, waved his hand and said, "Before, Father-in-law Zhang Bao Zhang and Father-in-law Su Peisheng Su have already gone over to check, and there are our brothers guarding inside and out, and there will be no mess in the custody." Girl, let's go back and serve the master of Guerjia, lest there be no competent man on the master's side. As he spoke, he pointed to the canopy of a few trees behind him where human figures were faintly visible, so that Yaoqin could go back with confidence.

Yaoqin looked in the direction of the little eunuch's finger, and sure enough, the guards were tight, so she didn't say anything, nodded with a smile, said hard work again, and then turned around and went back to Lanyue Tower to serve.

The dinner is very different from the luncheon, and it is all plain and light home dishes.

Light pink, light blue, azure and pale yellow gold plates, full of more than one meter long, half a meter wide low table, a purple clay pot engraved with eyebrows, and the white background of the colorful lady holding the pot on a silver tray, it looks very chic.

"The concubine thought that the saint and the lords had used a lot of wine, and I was afraid that there was something not quite right in the stomach. Therefore, at night, there is no preparation of pear blossom white, but some authentic rice wine, which warms the body. And it doesn't hurt the body. Seeing that the concubine had just filled the wine for the old man Kangxi, the old man Kangxi frowned slightly, got up to salute, and said softly.

"Guarjia Fujin has thought it through. In fact, the old man Kangxi is not addicted to alcohol, but he is used to having a drink at every meal. He smiled and nodded, and praised softly.

At the same time, the old man Kangxi also raised his hand and picked up the wine cup. took a sip of warm rice wine.

The unique aroma of rice wine is heated and sent into the air, which smells particularly good and slightly spicy. Flows down the esophagus slowly. instantly warmed the spleen and stomach of the old man Kangxi, and made him breathe a sigh of relief, and sighed: "It's really good wine." ”

"Your Majesty, try this jade tofu!" Concubine Tong Jia sent a satisfied smile to Erfu, turned her head and took another piece of tender tofu mixed with emerald green shallots, and sent it to the plate in front of the old man Kangxi, and said softly.

Jade tofu, that's a nice name. In fact, this dish is the most convenient and easy-to-make green onion tofu in the home cooking.

Shallots are produced in the greenhouse on the outskirts of Zhuangzi in Beijing, which is different from the shallots that are pumped out with fertilizer and water in modern greenhouses, and have no taste. The growth period of this shallot is not short, so the taste is very refreshing, and the spicy smell not only does not smell bad, but stimulates people's appetite very much.

The tofu has been scalded twice with warm water, which is not only more tender, but also lukewarm.

In this way, it will not be icy or uncomfortable in the stomach, and it will taste a little better when mixed with hot japonica rice.

However, Erfu felt that the old man Kangxi would definitely not do this, after all, this way of eating is too down-to-earth, but as an emperor, doing things will always be extraordinarily unexpected, just when Erfu was still worried about whether the old man Kangxi would be used to eating such dishes, she saw that the old man Kangxi had asked Wei Zhu to take a spoon, scooped spoonful after spoonful and poured it on the japonica rice, and ate it in a big gulp.

"......" on the body of the old man Kangxi, Erfu seemed to see the unique idol aura on his body, which was collapsing at the speed of light, but the others did not show a surprised look, but followed the old man's example, and also sprinkled the refreshing jade tofu on the japonica rice, which made Erfu look out of place in the crowd.

In fact, even if the old man Kangxi eats it with tofu mixed with rice like this, he still has the elegance and calmness of the superior person.

"Sister can't get used to eating these?" Nian Shi saw that Erfu didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, and asked with a smile, "My sister thinks that the taste of this Fulu Sansi is very good, sweet and sour, very refreshing, why don't you try it too." ”

Fu Lu three silk is boiled potato shreds.

The shredded potatoes were mixed with some shredded carrots and soaked kelp shreds that had been stored in the cellar in autumn, soaked in fresh chicken soup for the whole hour, and then washed off with hot water, leaving only a faint fresh fragrance, but not stained with any oil stars, and sprinkled with minced green onions, ginger and garlic, seasoned with soy sauce, vinegar, minced salt, powdered sugar, and sesame oil, and then sent to the tables of everyone present.

It looks like a complete vegetarian dish, but the ingredients that are consumed to make it are not affordable by the average wealthy family.

"It's good if my sister likes it. As the organizer of this banquet, Erfu still hopes that the dishes she prepared can be liked by everyone present, even if most of them may not like her, so when she heard Nian's words, she smiled with satisfaction.

In addition to these two most home-cooked vegetarian dishes and cold dishes, Erfu also asked the people on the stove to prepare dishes such as Luohan Zhai and Winter Melon Cup, especially the winter melon cup, although there are pork, dried shrimps, scallops, abalone slices and other umami meat, but there is no oil star in it.

On the surface of the winter melon, Erfu also asked the chef to make exquisite decorations and carved out a variety of auspicious patterns, which looked very delicate and was quite loved by the ladies present.

And Erf's favorite is a seemingly ordinary, but in fact it also took the chefs a lot of effort to make the grilled double winter, blanched cabbage sum and tender bamboo shoots with chicken soup and scallop soup, the fragrance is not visible, but it is extraordinarily delicious, and the shiitake mushrooms fried in hot oil are called a refreshing and smooth, and then poured with a variety of seasonings to make the soup, the taste is really delicious and people can't control the chopsticks!

This meal, it was the Eighth Master Yinxi and the Eight Blessings Jin Guo Luo Luo, who were bent on making trouble, all of whom were so oily that the corners of their mouths flowed.

On the contrary, the fourth master, who was used to eating the home-cooked side dishes carefully prepared by Erfu and Xiaoshengzi, didn't think it was very delicious. After only a few bites of each dish, he put aside his chopsticks, unhurriedly picked up peanuts with chopsticks and sent them to his mouth, and observed everyone present with a pair of eyes.

Dessert after meals. Erfu asked the kitchen to arrange rock sugar Xianglian.

Xianglian, also known as glutinous lotus, can be said to be unique in the world in terms of taste, and Xianglian, as a tribute, is the best lotus seeds.

This rock sugar Xianglian can be regarded as the easiest thing to make at the dinner party.

The dried lotus seeds were cored, soaked in the spring water of Yuquan Mountain overnight, and the lotus leaves harvested in late autumn were padded to the upper drawer. Then steam the best pine wood over low heat, mix it with the already cut tangerine, apple, pear and other fruits while it is hot, and finally pour in the sugar water boiled with rock sugar. It's ready to serve.

This dessert has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing yin and nourishing the body, but it is suitable for all ages, men and women, so it is on the table of several masters and old men Kangxi. Erfu also let the palace maids put on a lamp.

Desserts are served. The dinner is over.

From the opening of the banquet to the present, only half an hour has passed, the sky outside has just been wiped black, on the stage opposite a two-story high, strings of lanterns have been lit, and a variety of colorful glazed palace lamps have also been lit, rendering the sky as if in the day.

The two are contrasted. It was much darker in the Lanyue Building.

He Concubine Niangniang is favored by herself, and it is when she is young. Between the words, he was not as cautious as the other palace concubines, and when he saw that the old man Kangxi glanced at the stage, he opened his mouth with a smile, "This stomach is also full, is it time for this play to start, the palace is waiting until its eyes are red!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to pretend to be coquettish and pointed to the corners of her reddish eyes.

Although several mothers present were past the age of competing for favor, looking at Concubine He's deliberate behavior of showing off her grace, they couldn't help but scold "fox charmer" in their hearts.

"Sister Hefei is reasonable!" Although several mothers scolded Concubine He in their hearts, but there was a ball of harmony on their faces, Concubine Yi took the tea bowl and rinsed her mouth, then she also smiled approvingly and said, "Shengshang, what do you see?"

"Concubine Ai, what do you think?" Concubine Tong Jia's life has no children, and her grace is not as much as that of the fourth concubine, but the old man Kangxi is willing to raise her face on various occasions, so that she, who is both a wife and a sister, and a cousin, can stand firm in front of several mothers who have children.

Concubine Tong Jia smiled shyly and said in a low voice: "Actually, the concubine has been thinking about which new play!"

"Since the concubines have said so, then let them start the gong!" The old man Kangxi nodded with a smile, waved his big hand, and said loudly.

To inform the troupe of such a trivial matter as the gong, naturally there is no need for Erfu to handle it, but Erfu just drank a small half pot of rice wine, and at this time there was a little drunkenness, and he was about to go outside to spread the wind, so he smiled and stopped Mama Fu, who was going to go outside to spread the news, greeted Yaoqin, and walked out lightly.

In the backstage of the stage, the actors have already been prepared, some are talking and laughing and gossiping, and several elementary school apprentices are coming and going to serve tea.

Suddenly, a few elementary school apprentices who were only twelve or thirteen years old saw Erfu such a well-known big man in the house walk in, and they immediately panicked, and they didn't bother to remind those who were talking, so they knelt on the ground like dumplings, "The slave asks for peace to Guarjia Fujin, and Guarjia Fujin has a long life." ”

"Let's get up!" Looking at the kneeling and swinging children, Erfu didn't want to put on such a stand at all, smiled and raised his hand, and said softly, "Go tell your class master, let him hurry up and start the gong, the nobles over there are waiting!"

As she spoke, El Fu walked into the room behind the curtain.

Liuyun - the pillar of the fourth master's troupe, his body is light, soft, concave and convex, his eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and his heart is also high.

Shiso is a beautiful woman with a good personality, and her head is also very smart.

Although she doesn't know much about writing, she has seen a lot of dramas, and she doesn't think that such a rich and monstrous family will be the destination of these lowly actors, that is, she is really fortunate to be able to get brocade clothes and jade food for a while, and then I am afraid that I will be lonely for a lifetime, and if I am not careful, I am afraid that I will lose my life.

Liuyun is a good sister she grew up with, and she naturally can't bear to let her little sister end up like that, so even if she knows what she said, Liuyun may not like to listen to it, she still persuaded earnestly: "Liuyun, if you want me to say this, the master treats us so well, and there is a lot of moon silver and silver rewards, so we might as well earn a few years of silver, and wait for another two years to redeem ourselves, find a good family to marry, and live a stable life." ”

"A lowly actor, and have served such a family, do you think anyone is really willing to marry us?" Liuyun heard this, sneered, looked at the beautiful and moving face in the bronze mirror, and said with some hatred of injustice, "Even if you are lucky, there are really one or two who are willing, but our children are still cheap, you are willing, I am not willing!"

Since God has given me such good conditions, if I can't make good use of it, I'm really sorry for my child, and I'm sorry for the first half of my life. ”

"You've been smarter than me since you were a child, why can't you figure it out!" Zisu sighed helplessly, she also understood that what Liuyun said was the truth, this cheap thing was like a noose wrapped around their necks, so that they had a rich family, and they couldn't straighten their waists and be people, but there were so many unjustly killed women in the wealthy compound, no matter how smart Liuyun was, how could he beat those women from noble backgrounds!

"It's not that I can't figure it out, I just want to fight!" Liuyun understood that Shisu was for her good, but she had already made up her mind, but it was not something that Zisu could persuade in a few words, she showed a somewhat stunned smile, and said in a low voice, "If it doesn't work out this time, I will die, and I will live like you said in the future." ”

Speaking of this, Liuyun's words changed, and his voice became a little sharp, and he grabbed Zisu's hand with both hands, and said in a low voice: "I promised to accept my fate in the future, but this time, you want to help me......"

"Alas!" Shisu sighed when he heard this, and nodded silently, which was considered to be at the invitation of Liuyun.

As the many heroines of Zhongmeichuan, several actors who play the concubines of Shenwu Emperor Long Ye are not much different in roles, but Liuyun is one of the more brilliant ones, with a kind nature, showing off his wisdom, and finally in order not to be coerced against Long Ye, who fought against the Tile Spur army, he even threw himself off the city wall regardless of his own safety, his face was completely ruined, and he lost the throne of the Middle Palace that had already been set, and became a special concubine in the mind of Emperor Shenwu, respected to death.

And the concubine who plays the most against Liuyun is this Tsing Yi named Zisu, if Zisu intends to fulfill her, it will really make Liuyun the only protagonist in the play and win the attention of many nobles.

Hearing this, Erf was already a little annoyed, lifted the curtain, stepped on a slight step, and walked into the room. (To be continued.) )
