Domineering prince, your princess is a bit fierce

Hibiscus Court

As soon as Wei Ling'er returned to Furong Garden, she immediately went to the study room, took out the blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing pills she had prepared before, took out five bottles, and then wrote another prescription.

"Fu Ling, go to the Huichun Hall, give this prescription to Doctor Gu, and ask him to help prepare five doses of the decoction." Wei Ling'er handed the prescription to Fu Ling and ordered.

"Miss, is this a prescription for the old lady?" Poria took the prescription and asked.

"Yes, grandma has some qi deficiency. This is to treat her. After that, she will be healthier with the supplement of blood and qi pills." Wei Ling'er explained.

"Miss, I will go immediately." Fu Ling immediately turned around and went out.

Then Wei Linger personally ground some medicinal powder and then said to Forsythia:

"Forsythia, let's go to the kitchen. I want to make some pastries for my grandmother."

Considering her grandmother's poor appetite, Wei Ling'er decided to make some 'Bazhen Cake' herself.

Bazhen cake, as the name suggests, is a pastry made from eight kinds of medicinal materials ground into powder and then mixed with wheat flour.

These eight kinds of traditional Chinese medicine are: white lentil, barley, yam, poria, cyanobacteria, lotus seed, dangshen, and atractylodes.

It can replenish vital energy, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and can be used for symptoms such as weakness of the spleen and stomach, indigestion, and chlorosis.

Forsythia was a little curious. The lady had learned how to make cakes in her dream.

"Miss, are you going to make some pastries with medicinal powder?" Forsythia saw that Wei Ling'er had filled several medicinal powders in medicine bottles.

"It's Bazhen Cake. Take a few of the remaining bottles. Let's go to the kitchen now. I'll teach you how to make them later." Wei Ling'er said, pointing to the remaining bottles of medicine.

Forsythia quickly took the medicine bottle in her hand.

On the way to the kitchen, Wei Ling'er explained to Forsythia what 'Bazhen Cake' is.

kitchen

The cook was currently preparing the ingredients for dinner. When she saw the eldest lady coming, she hurriedly came over to salute.

"I've seen the eldest lady. I don't know if the eldest lady is in the kitchen. But if you want to order some food, do you need to ask the kitchen to arrange it?" asked the cook in charge.

Everyone looked at Wei Ling'er and Forsythia, both holding several medicine bottles in their hands, with some curiosity.

"Nothing, just keep working. I'll just use the stove next to you for making pastries."

"Whoever is the cook in charge of pastry making, please come with us."

The two cooks stood up and followed Wei Linger in a restrained manner.

The kitchen of the Duke's Mansion is very large, with clear division of labor and no interference with each other.

There are stoves dedicated to washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, and stewing soup, as well as stoves for making pastries and steamed buns, and an area dedicated to stewing tonics.

Wei Ling'er came to the pastry area, which contained a variety of flours and tools for making pastries.

"Both of you, please bring out the flour, wheat flour, sago flour, and powdered sugar. I need them. Just follow me and learn from me. It's very simple. From now on, if the old lady or others want to eat it, you can follow my instructions today. Just make it as taught.”

The two cooks found all the things Wei Ling'er mentioned and stood respectfully with Forsythia beside them to study.

After everything was ready, Wei Ling'er started making it.

The cook and Forsythia watched and studied carefully, and Wei Linger explained a few words to them from time to time.

The two cooks were also very curious about what pastries the eldest lady could make.

After all, I have never seen the eldest lady come to the kitchen before.

Wei Ling'er scooped out the flour, wheat flour, and sago flour according to a certain ratio and divided them into three portions. Then, he took the appropriate amount of the medicinal powder he brought with him using a measuring cup, added it in order, mixed them together, then added warm water, and started Kneading noodles.

Wei Ling'er tried making three different flours this time to see what flavor the old lady liked.

During the kneading process, Wei Ling'er added internal strength, which was very easy. In a short while, the dough was kneaded and then rested for fifteen minutes.

Then I started making them into various beautiful shapes.

The two cooks and Forsythia looked at it with their hands itching. After getting Wei Linger's permission, they also started to move their hands according to the shape made by Wei Linger.

Wei Linger specially created four unique rabbit shapes, which are lifelike and vivid.

There are also plum blossom shapes, long strips, and squares.

Then, put it in the steamer, and after twenty minutes, a burst of aroma will overflow.

The aroma of pastries is accompanied by a medicinal aroma.

Wei Linger opened the steamer and took out plates of pastries.

Among them, pastries made with sago flour are the most eye-catching. These pastries are crystal clear, like crystal gems, especially the rabbit-shaped pastries, which are lifelike, vivid and really cute.

The cakes made with flour are more crispy and soft, and the cake body is as white as jade, fresh and pleasant.

In addition, pastries made from wheat flour are relatively soft and slightly sticky, but the color is whiter and brighter. Arranged on a plate, these pastries exude an alluring aroma that will make your mouth water.

Pick two of each kind and pack six into one portion. Wei Ling'er packed three portions and asked the cook to send them to Wei Tingshan and Mrs. Wei respectively.

Xiao Si was asked to send the third copy to Wei Ziyu who was on duty at the Ministry of War.

Then, I packed two copies myself. Leave the rest to a few cooks to taste it, and then give the remaining powder to the cook in charge, and tell her to use it according to the amount, and then go to Poria to get it after use.

Returning to Furong Garden, Poria had already returned with the medicinal materials.

"Miss, have you gone to the kitchen?" Fuling asked as soon as she saw the two of them coming back with a food box in their hands.

Wei Ling'er put the food box on the table and took out a pastry: "You two should try it too and see how it tastes?"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of plum blossom-shaped crystal-colored pastry and took a bite. It was elastic in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, and had a medicinal aroma.

When the lady took it out, she could smell the fragrant aroma of Poria cocos. Looking at the pastry with unique shape and special color, she couldn't wait to grab a long piece of pastry with a body as white as jade. When she ate it, it melted in her mouth. Delicate and soft.

"Miss, it's delicious!" Poria praised while eating.

Forsythia also picked up a square piece of pastry with a translucent white texture and took a bite. It was glutinous and chewy when eaten. In addition to the scent of cakes, there is also a faint scent of medicine on the lips and teeth.

"This tastes very good, too. It's glutinous. Miss, try it quickly." Forsythia said, taking the same style and handing it to Wei Ling'er.

Wei Ling'er took it with a smile and tasted it. It really tasted different.

After a while, the three of them stopped and couldn't eat too much at once.

"Forsythia, it's almost time. Go and get the blood-tonifying and replenishing qi pills. We'll go to Shoukang Hall again. Poria, get the food box and medicinal materials." Wei Ling'er guessed that her grandmother must have woken up, so she ordered road.

The three of them went all the way to Shoukang Hall.

Shoukangtang

The old lady had a peaceful and comfortable sleep, and when she woke up, she felt refreshed and energetic.

When he heard the maid came to report, Wei Ling'er came over again and suddenly became even happier.

"Grandma, Ling'er is here to disturb you again." Wei Ling'er said with a smile as soon as he saw the old lady.

"Silly boy, what are you saying to disturb me? If you are willing to come over and accompany grandma, it's too late for grandma to be happy!" the old lady said, pulling Wei Ling'er to sit down at the table.

"Grandma, this is a pastry I made myself, please try it!"

Saying that, he took the food box from Fuling and opened it.

The moment Mrs. Wei opened the food box, she smelled a burst of aroma. Looking at the unique shapes and colors of the snacks, her appetite aroused.

He immediately picked up a rabbit with a unique shape and looked at it in his hand: "Ling'er, you made the snacks so exquisite that grandma almost didn't want to eat them."

"Grandma, these snacks are specially made for you. You eat them, which is their greatest value!" Wei Ling'er urged with a smile.

Mrs. Wei just took a bite. It was crispy and soft, melted in your mouth, the sweetness was right, and it was delicious!

Then he asked Grandma Chen to have a taste. Grandma Chen was already salivating. She immediately picked up a piece of pastry as white as jade and put it in her mouth. It was glutinous, sweet but not greasy, so delicious!

"Miss, your craftsmanship is even better than that of the pastry chefs at Tianxianglou!" Grandma Chen praised.

Tianxianglou is currently the most popular dim sum shop in the capital. Being able to compare with it shows the high standard of Wei Ling'er's pastries.

"Nanny Chen, please stop teasing me. My craftsmanship is definitely not as good as Master Tianxianglou's." Wei Ling'er said with a modest smile.

"Miss, I'm really not trying to flatter you, just ask Poria Forsythia and the others."

Grandma Chen looked at the two maids, who nodded quickly to Wei Ling'er.

Wei Ling'er was amused by them and laughed happily.

"Grandma, look at them, they know how to make fun of me!" Wei Ling'er looked at her grandmother again, hoping that she would tell the truth, otherwise she would be praised to heaven.

The old lady smiled and nodded, and said gently: "Ling'er, your craftsmanship is really good. Grandma has a big appetite when she eats it. In addition, the unique shape makes her appetite even bigger when she looks at it."

As Mrs. Wei spoke, she picked up another piece of pastry as white as jade and tasted it. She found that the texture was completely different from the one just now. The taste was more distinctive, glutinous and chewy, and it was very delicious to eat.

After eating, he looked at another pastry with a translucent white texture and took another bite. Sure enough, the taste was different. The only thing that was the same was that in addition to the fragrance of the pastry, there was also a faint medicinal fragrance between the lips and teeth.

"Ling'er, did you put any medicinal ingredients in this pastry? Grandma seems to have smelled the medicinal aroma." Mrs. Wei ate two more pieces in a row before asking doubtfully.

"Grandma, it really tastes good. This pastry is Bazhen cake, which is made from powder ground from eight kinds of Chinese medicinal materials, mixed with flour, wheat flour, sago flour, and glutinous rice flour and kneaded into dough." Wei Ling'er explained.

He also explained the ingredients for the Bazhen Cake, and what kind of flour the old lady had eaten just now. If you want to eat it in the future, just ask the cook to make it. The cook has already taught her the method.

"Ling'er is really thoughtful." Mrs. Wei held Wei Ling'er's hand and patted it gently, with a happy smile on her face.

"Grandma, you can eat this cake often in the future. It will be good for your health." Wei Ling'er said, taking the medicinal materials in Poria's hand and handing it to Granny Chen.

Her eyes revealed concern and warmth, which made the old lady feel extremely happy and satisfied.

"Here are the medicinal materials I asked Poria to grab from Huichun Hall. Aunt Chen, just make one dose of the decoction for the old lady to drink every day. After five doses, the disease will be cured."

"Forsythia, bring the blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing pills." As he said that, he took the pills from Forsythia's hand.

"Grandma, these are blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing pills. They are very good for your body. Once these pills are finished, you can take one pill a day. Send someone to tell Ling'er after you finish eating, and Ling'er will send them to you." Wei Ling'er took the pills and explained them carefully to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei was very pleased to see Wei Ling'er's serious look. Her granddaughter had really grown up.

With such a powerful ability, he will definitely be able to protect himself in the future. Although Wei Ling'er did not say that she prepared these pills and medicinal materials herself, Mrs. Wei knew that these must have been made by Wei Ling'er.

"Ling'er, in the future, when you marry into Prince Jin's Mansion, you must do it well. Remember, the Duke's Mansion has your backing!" Mrs. Wei held Wei Ling'er's hand and said in a serious and solemn tone.

"Grandma, don't worry, Ling'er will be fine!" Wei Ling'er shook the old lady's hand and replied with firm eyes.
