If An Lingrong was reborn before the draft

Chapter 103 Ling Rong Makes Ice Drinks

Although the matter of Bing was left unresolved, Lingrong still felt a little uneasy, as she was afraid that Concubine Hua would have a backup plan. After several days of waiting for Concubine Hua's backup plan, Lingrong lost her patience.

I heard that the weather was hot these days and the Queen Mother had a poor appetite, so Lingrong wanted to make some desserts to honor the Queen Mother, and of course she also wanted to ask for her blessing. Lingrong remembered reading in a miscellaneous book that there was an ice drink in the Tang Dynasty made of cheese, honey, sugar, and ice cubes. Lingrong looked through many books and only saw this sentence. She had no choice but to ask Xiao Shuer to take the silver to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get cheese, honey, and sugar. Compared with ice, these things are not expensive, no wonder the recipe was lost.

Ling Rong asked Xiao Shu'er to crush some ice first, and then took a little cheese and a similar amount of honey and sugar and put them in a bowl and stirred them in this direction with three chopsticks. However, the cheese was in blocks and it was not so easy to mix it with the honey. As a result, the ice melted and the cheese was not stirred. After finally stirring it, Ling Rong dipped a little with her finger and tasted it. The taste was sweet and salty. I don't know how to describe it, but it tasted very good anyway.

Lingrong asked Juqing, Xiaoshu'er and Baoque to taste it together. There were different opinions. Some said that too much sugar was added, and some said that the cheese was not right. Lingrong then replaced the cheese with milk. The milk was too watery, so she replaced it with light cheese...

Lingrong tried for many days and finally got the ratio of cheese to sugar, honey and ice just right. Lingrong picked a morning with good weather, made the dessert and brought it to see the Queen Mother.

"Your concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager be healthy and healthy," the Empress Dowager leaned listlessly on the small couch by the window. The spinning ice fan brought a slight cool breeze, but the Empress Dowager was weak and could not be blown directly by the ice fan, so she was still very hot.

"Get up, what are you doing here in such a hot day?" The Queen Mother was too hot to pay attention to her.

"Empress Dowager, I brought some desserts for you to try." Lingrong took the food box from Juqing and put it on the table. She slowly opened the food box and showed it to the Empress Dowager.

"What is this?" The Queen Mother looked at the lump in the bowl and seemed to have no appetite.

"Empress Dowager, would you like some cheese?" Lingrong did not give it directly to the Empress Dowager but gave it to Aunt Zhuxi first. Before the master had a meal, the food had to be given to the eunuch who tasted the food.

"Eat." The Queen Mother looked at the eunuch who tasted the food and took a small bite and asked, "What does it taste like?"

The eunuch who tasted the food bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, it's cool and sweet." After taking only a small sip, he could only speak while savoring the taste.

"Bring it here for me to try." When the Queen Mother heard that it was cold, she immediately became interested in trying it.

"Hey, wait, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, do you want honey and sugar?" Lingrong saw the little eunuch was about to hand it to the Queen Mother, so she took it and asked.

"Eat, eat, eat. If I don't want to eat it, why did I make it here? Are you trying to make me greedy?" After hearing the Queen Mother say to eat, Ling Rong handed over the dessert. The Queen Mother immediately scooped a spoonful of it into her mouth with a small silver spoon. After the Queen Mother took two bites, her mood really improved and she began to eat happily.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was enjoying her meal, no one disturbed her until she had finished half a bowl of rice. Ling Rong stepped forward to stop her and said, "Queen Mother, you can't eat too much cold food, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable again later."

"There's not much left, I'll finish it," the Queen Mother was like a child who had just found a delicious treat and didn't want to let go.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Jing is right. The imperial physician said that you should not eat too many raw or cold foods. Eat them tomorrow." Aunt Zhuxi stepped forward and took the remaining cheese from the Empress Dowager's hand. The little palace maid behind her also stepped forward to take it and carried it away, so as not to leave it in front of the Empress Dowager and make her worry about it.
