[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

After sleeping and waking up, Yin Qi stopped hiccupping, but no one reminded him, lest he would hiccup again when he remembered.

Nanny Su also deliberately led him to talk.

She is different from other court ladies, they all do what they are asked to do, they don't ask why?But she will ask, why do this?

Yin Qi held back for a long time: "Zai Zai likes to watch!"

"Okay." Aunt Su Ma smiled softly.

After completing the main task of the 20th ring in one go, Aunt Su Ma looked at the time and said, "Fifth Brother, it's getting late, let's stop playing, and prepare dinner for the Empress Dowager first, shall we?"

"Okay."

Aunt Su Ma smiled and said: "The servants all cook according to the recipes you sent, but the master's appetite fluctuates, and he is not willing to eat every time, but he can eat it. So the servants thought and asked you for advice. Two hors d'oeuvres."

Appetizers?

Yin Qi hadn't contacted him yet, so he could only ask the little chef if he had any suggestions.

Xiaochu: [The main task that the trainee milk tea happens to do is to use rice to make various meals, which can unlock related appetizer recipes. ]

Dozens of appetizers to eat with porridge appeared in front of Yinqi. While showing them, the little chef proposed the best result of the auxiliary system calculation:

[It is recommended that the host choose the fresh 'Xinxinmei' radish that is available in the dining room of the Cining Palace, use the radish to make sour radish, or use radish sprouts to make cold salad. ]

All the side dishes can imitate the excellent aroma for Yinqi to check, so he was greedy for some of them and wanted to make them very much. Chef's best advice.

"Then make a sour radish."

The Xinmei radish in the Compassion Ninggong is green-skinned radish, and the meat inside is pink, which is very beautiful, so it is called Xinmei.

This kind of radish is low in calories and high in cellulose, which is very suitable for health preservation.

Aunt Su Ma's knife skills are very good, and her milk tea skills are also good.

Considering that the empress dowager's teeth were not as good as those of young people, the two washed and peeled the best radishes that Yinqi had selected from among them according to Yinqi's request. One of them shredded and the other cut into fan-shaped slices.

Yinqi likes all beautiful things, when Aunt Su Ma cut up the radish, he was so beautiful, she felt very happy.

He picked another good white radish and asked the milk tea to cut a small bowl of shredded white radish.

The chef commented: [Although these radishes are of good quality, if enough fertilizer can be added during the 'succulent root growth period', the nutritional value and taste will be improved to a higher level. ]

[Uh-huh! ] Yinqi remembers that the next time the internal affairs purchase requires the supplier to improve the planting technology.

When asking the two to prepare today's dinner dishes, Yin Qi didn't let Xiangli and Lan'er rest. There were still a lot of white radishes. He asked them to wash them and cut them into long strips as thick as an adult's finger for later use.

And himself, riding a wolfhound, went to the imperial dining room to pick other ingredients.

After half an hour, Yinqi came back with seasoning and two little eunuchs.

A young eunuch carried a load of water and a large pot in his hand.A young eunuch picked a load of heart-whitening radishes with pink skin and white flesh.

Before seasoning, Yinqi first asked: "Does Madam Ukuma eat spicy food? Do you hate onion, ginger and garlic?"

There are also many different ways to make sour radish.

Aunt Su Ma said: "My master can eat spicy food, and I don't dislike green onion, ginger and garlic, but I don't really like them."

"How about sweet and sour?"

"I like sweet and sour, but my teeth are bad, so I dare not eat more."

Yinqi's small head automatically understood that Mama Ukuma has no special likes and dislikes.Then there is no need to deliberately accommodate her taste, as long as he cooks it deliciously.

He nodded and began to cooperate with Lagu Su Ma to make sour radishes.

Yin Qi first weighed the amount of shredded radish in the bowl, and then under the guidance of the chef, prepared various seasonings according to the most appropriate ratio.

Then, he sprinkled sea salt first, and let Lagu Su Ma grasp it evenly according to his requirements to control the water.

This sea salt is not simple, it is the most clean and pollution-free part of the sea salt picked out by the chef in the imperial dining room.

The timing of controlling the water is also given detailed guidance in the recipe provided by the chef. When he saw that Lagu Su Ma caught it just right, he immediately stopped.

Pour out excess water, then pour in appropriate amount of vinegar and sugar, and mix well.Then pour in the prepared small amount of lemon juice and continue to mix well.

Vinegar, sugar and lemon juice are of course the best quality that can be found in the whole palace dining room.

Thanks to Er Niang and Nan Huairen, they introduced Western ingredients such as onions and lemons a few years ago.

"Okay, let's put it aside to marinate first." Yin Qi said, "The same is true for other radish slices and white radish shreds."

Aunt Su Ma was stunned, "Is it that simple?"

Yinqi: "Well, it's okay to put a plate on the table after a while, or sprinkle a layer of fried white sesame seeds."

"Your maid said, don't you need to fry the onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell?"

Yinqi said confidently, "No need!"

Because he chose the best ingredients and matched them in the most perfect proportions.

Aunt Su Ma was skeptical, seeing that it was getting late, she put it aside temporarily and went to prepare the empress dowager's dinner.

Yinqi took the three maids with him and continued to make pickled radish strips that could be eaten the day after tomorrow.

Just now he found a new unoiled pot from the imperial dining room, poured the mountain spring water he brought in into it, boiled it, let it cool in a clean container, and waited to pour it into a jar that had been cleaned and sterilized with boiling water.

Then, stir-fry an appropriate amount of salt in this new pot for half an hour, and the three maids take turns. After frying, pour it into the jar in proportion to the water.

He chose five jars with a capacity of four liters in the palace, and poured water and salt in equal proportions to make brine.

Afterwards, Yinqi tasted the sweetness of the white radish sticks, and after thinking about it, he added different amounts of sugar to each jar.

Label it, and you will know which ratio of sugar tomorrow, and the sour radish you make is the best.

Xiaochu: [The quality of this batch of white radishes is not the best, and the sweetness is not enough, otherwise there is no need to add sugar. ]

Soak the radish in it, seal it, and put it in a cupboard in an empty room, and it will be ready to eat after twelve hours.

No one knew that it was Yinqi's all-purpose stove disguised as a cabinet.After the jar was put in, Yinqi adjusted the environment in the 'stove' to a constant temperature of 30 degrees, which was most suitable for the fermentation of pickled products.

Yinqi's method is really too simple!

It was so simple that the three court ladies all felt that the sour radish made would not taste good.So they all embraced it, as if they were playing house with the master, that kind of mentality.

In the evening, Yinhu and Yinreng came by coincidence and came uninvited.

And bumped into the door of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Fourth brother, don't you hate going out?"

"Emperor Niang asked me to play with Yinqi more. Brother, aren't you busy with work?"

"I haven't finished reading Khan Ama's three merit records to Yin Qi."

"Are you poisonous?"

Yinhu was startled: "What poison?"

"Ahem..." Yinreng was not careful, and the Internet terms that he read from later books popped up, "I mean, in the current situation, you should first ask Han Ama if you want to continue reading?"

Yinhu: "Oh."

He was just looking for an excuse to spend money, and he didn't really want to read.

When it was time for dinner, Xiu Min came, the Empress Dowager brought the three princesses, and Concubine Yi also came.

The Empress Dowager would come to the Palace of Compassion and Peace every day, at least for half a day.I came here in the morning, and I had a whim in the evening, and I "dragged my family" to have a meal again.

I didn't expect it to be so lively today, the queen 'bringing' three elder brothers are also there.

She couldn't help joking: "What a good day today, it's so lively?"

The Empress Dowager: "It's not a special day, but Qi Er made an appetizer for Ai's family, and everyone came to taste it."

"Then this is the right time for me?"

"Yo, Chinese has improved recently?"

The empress dowagers chatted and laughed, and the dinner was served amidst cheerful laughter.

"Huh?" The Empress Dowager paused for a moment of laughter, looking at tonight's meal arrangement, "These flowers and butterflies are so delicate, are they made by Aunt Su?"

On the edges of several plates, carved radishes of various shapes are placed, delicate and tender, and the pink and green radish butterflies are also full of interest.

The princesses were instantly poked at the cute spots, "Mama Ukuma, can we enjoy it?"

"Take it, here with Mama Ukuma, it doesn't matter what it is."

Everyone praised Lagu Su Ma's skillful hands, but they heard her say: "The servant's skill in arranging dishes is far inferior to fifth elder brother."

Hearing what she said, everyone was a little surprised, Yinqi?Arrangement skills?

While wondering, I saw that there seemed to be a small volcano on the plate brought by the maid, but the top of the volcano was covered with white snow.

Aunt Su Ma laughed and said, "This is the fifth elder brother's arrangement, 'Snow Covering the Flaming Mountain'."

The Empress Dowager praised: "This name is good."

'Flame Mountain' was placed in front of the Empress Dowager, and everyone couldn't help but wonder about its nature.

Aunt Su Mala said: "This is the appetizer that the fifth elder brother specially made for the master today, sour radish. The bottom is shredded radish, and the top is shredded white radish and white sesame. It tastes better after mixing."

Yinqi didn't take credit for it alone, and said crisply: "Zai Zai and Madam Su did it together."

"You are all good."

Seeing that everyone was very interested, the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Su Ma to share it with everyone.

In fact, everyone just saw that the color was beautiful, and they didn't have much expectation.The third princess even showed a disgusted expression because she didn't like to eat vegetables: "Take it away, I don't want to eat it!"

Seeing this, Yinfeng, who was a few seats away from her, said very 'considerately': "Then fourth brother will help you eat."

"Okay!" The third princess gave it very straightforwardly, without knowing her brother's "good intentions".

The Empress Dowager nodded her nose in disapproval, "You, picky eater! You are not as tall as your fifth younger brother."

The third princess, who is almost three years old, is at the time of being naughty, "Slightly slightly~"

Yinhu looked at Yinreng with a funny face, and said with his mouth: "I don't know how to be ashamed."

Yinfeng pretended not to see it, he was just a five-year-old kid, what's wrong with being greedy and ignorant?

Seeing this, Xiu Min was quite relieved. She hoped that Yinfeng would always be as childish as he is today, and would not be ashamed to face it.

The Empress Dowager smelled a slightly sour and slightly sweet smell from the small dish in front of her. It was very fresh and had no miscellaneous smell.She picked up a chopstick and put it into the mouth, the slightly sweet and sour melted in the mouth, it was the sweetness of the radish itself, very refreshing.

The teeth only need to be bit down lightly, and the thinly sliced ​​radish will be broken in the mouth.

Her eyes lit up!

This side dish is all about crispness, but because of her bad teeth, she could only eat something that was soft and melted in the mouth.The crunchy things that young people eat will cause her teeth to ache, but it is not beautiful.

Therefore, she has not tasted such a taste for a long time.

Qi Er is simply too considerate and talented!

The Empress Dowager ate the crispy side dishes effortlessly, and the feeling of her taste and appetite being opened at the same time was really comforting.

She was very satisfied with this small dish, and ate up everything on the plate in three or two bites.

Hey, I regret that I gave too much to others...

But once her appetite was opened, her health-preserving meals became less difficult to swallow.Although eating something delicious, it would be uncomfortable to eat food that you don't like again, but it's better than being unable to swallow it at all.

Even the fishy-smelling kelp tofu soup, which she dislikes the most, can finish a small bowl.

The third princess is very picky about food. She only eats rice or noodles with sauce, and only eggs. She doesn't eat vegetables or meat, which makes the empress dowager very worried.

Fortunately, she is still willing to drink goat's milk. The Empress Dowager listened to the advice of childcare expert Rong Pin and gave her at least two glasses of goat's milk every day, so she didn't develop a thin body.

At this moment, she is not interested in any dishes on the table, only rice with sauce.

But soon, she found that her two elder sisters, who usually don't like vegetables, both ate shredded radish very happily.

Kacha, Kacha, after eating, immediately held up the small plate and told the servants who were waiting for more.

Aunt Su Ma shook her head helplessly: "The shredded radish is gone, but the sliced ​​radish is still there. The taste is the same, but it should be harder. Do you two princesses want to try it?"

"Yes, yes!" The two scrambled.

And radish slices?

Everyone looked at Aunt Su Ma in unison, amused her, and called the maid to come up and add side dishes for everyone.

The Empress Dowager took a bite of the radish slices, and immediately frowned, "This one is really a bit hard."

Aunt Su Ma thoughtfully took it down and cut it into shreds before serving it up, but the taste was not as good as shredded and marinated.

Others think that the taste of radish slices is better, crunchy and especially chewy.

"Crack clap..."

Seeing everyone eating sour radish slices and food, without even thinking about talking, the third princess finally felt dullly, what might she have missed?

She couldn't help but tugged at the corner of her sister's clothes and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"

The eldest princess: "It's delicious, it's really delicious!"

The second princess added: "Especially that Sisi, which is cool, sweet and crunchy, more delicious than candy!"

The eldest princess added: "It's better than summer smoothies!"

The three princesses were all greedy by what they said, "Give me a try."

The eldest princess protected her small dish, "I don't want it anymore, this piece is so hard, you are so picky eater, if you eat it and spit it out again, what a waste!"

"I will not!"

"You can!"

"give me!"

"No!"

Yipin couldn't stand it anymore, and pushed her own little plate to the third princess, "You can try mine."

"Thank you Master!"

The third princess happily took a slice into her mouth, then nodded with wide eyes, "Delicious..."

The taste is really good, but... she can't chew it!

Chewing and chewing, the teeth are still uncomfortable, it is delicious, but I can't swallow it, so I have to spit it out.

The eldest princess: "Look, have you wasted it?"

The second princess: "If it's Si Si from just now, I won't. Who told you to give it to the fourth brother?"

The third princess flattened her mouth, "Wow——fourth brother, you pay me Sisi..."

Yinfeng: "..."

The eldest princess: "Look at fifth brother, he is not picky about food, he has such good teeth, he can even bite into sliced ​​radishes."

The second princess: "Yes, yes, yes, are you still picky eaters?"

The adults looked at the two princesses, and the young adults taught the little princesses the same way, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiu Min looked at them tenderly, and couldn't help but think, girls are so cute, they look like housekeepers at such a young age.The speaking style is completely different from her three Piboys.

However, Yinhu, Yinreng, and Yinqi all felt that they were noisy.

The third princess: "Wow - don't say it, don't say it, I want Sisi~"

The Empress Dowager was kind, and gave her the shredded radish that Aunt Su Ma had just cut, and comforted her.

Only at this time did the prince raise the doubt just now: "Miss Yipin, why does the third princess call you master?"

Concubine Yi smiled, and the eldest princess rushed to answer: "Because we are learning how to whip from Niangniang Yi, and we will learn how to ride and shoot after a while."

"what."

Yinreng was even more surprised than Yinhu.

Yipin's riding, archery and whipping skills are considered very good among Manchu noble girls, he knows it, but in his memory, Yipin only taught the fourth princess Kejing and Princess Bayanzhu.

——The famous sea clam princess in history.

As long as he could remember, Concubine Yi had always been favored by Ama Khan, and his own prince didn't think much of the children of other concubines, so he was very surprised to hear that she was teaching the princess.

……fair enough.

In her previous life, Yibi taught Bayan Zhu very well. If the first three can also be taught by her, maybe her fate will be better in this life...

As a queen, Xiu Min knew everything about the harem like the back of her hand, so she naturally knew about it a long time ago, but at this time she had other thoughts.

"Sister Yipin, if you teach the princesses how to whip, do you need to practice arm strength and wrist strength first?"

"To the Empress, that's natural."

"Is there a safe and reliable method?" After all, the children's muscles and bones have not grown well.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine has practiced like this since she was a child, step by step, and has never been injured."

The empress dowager immediately understood the queen's intention, "Min'er wants Qi'er to practice arm and wrist strength with Yipin?"

"yes……"

Before he finished speaking, Yinqi strongly opposed him, "I don't want it, I don't want it~"

"Why?" After Xiu Min asked, she immediately added vigilantly, "You whispered to Er Niang."

Yin Qi whispered: "Sisters are really too noisy, Qi Er can't stand it~"

Xiu Min: "..."

You talkative, why do you have the nerve to think others are too noisy?

Xiu Min smiled awkwardly at everyone: "Qi Er said that he is a boy and he wants to learn from the male master."

Yinqi blinked his big clean eyes and looked at her, as if saying: Oh, mother, you are lying?

Xiu Min: "..."

After eating all the sour radishes, everyone finally remembered to praise Chef Yinqi.

Princesses: "Your brother is amazing~ I want to eat it tomorrow!"

Brothers: "Qi Er is extremely talented, smart and cute! Do you have any new dishes tomorrow?"

Empress Dowager: "Qi'er is really filial and caring, the Ai family will reward you very much!"

Empress Dowager: "Then I will reward you too."

When Yinqi heard this, his whole body was refreshed: "What's the reward?"

The empress dowager didn't know Yinqi that well, so she asked, "What do you want?"

Yin Qi is pure and unpretentious: "Gold, silver and jewelry!"

……

Compared with the dinner in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where everyone had a big appetite, Kangxi, who ate alone as usual in the Palace of Qianqing, felt a little lonely today.

He had been busy with government affairs all day, and he passed on the meal when it was completely dark. He put down his chopsticks after only two mouthfuls, "Prince Chuan Yi came to eat with me."

In less than half a stick of incense, Yipin arrived, and Kangxi was taken aback when he saw the leather whip on her waist.

Yi Pin smiled and asked: "Is the Emperor wondering why the concubine came so quickly?"

"Ah."

"That's because, the concubine just came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and met Wei Zhu on the way back to the palace. Let the concubine go down to freshen up, and then come to serve the emperor for dinner."

"Wait," Kangxi called to stop her, "You came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, why did you go there?"

He knew that Qi'er was in the Compassionate Ning Palace all afternoon and night.

"Hmm..." Yi Concubine smiled sheepishly, "The concubine went to eat with the Empress Dowager, today the Fifth Elder Brother made a dish of sour radish to honor the Empress Dowager, it is really delicious."

Yipin didn't know about today's lawsuit between the emperor and the fifth elder brother, and thought that their father and son were still in the sweet state before, otherwise she wouldn't dare to say this when Kangxi couldn't eat shredded radish.

Seeing Kangxi's strange expression after speaking, she became uneasy: "Your Majesty, is, is there something wrong with this concubine?"

"No." Kangxi gritted his molars, and asked again: "Did Qi Er mention me?"

Yipin looked bewildered.

Kangxi choked.

"You are tired after a busy day, go back to your Yikun Palace and rest early."

"Your Majesty???" Yi Pin knelt down in bewilderment to plead guilty.

Kangxi was tired, "I didn't annoy you, I just got tired suddenly, don't think too much, just go back."

Yipin: "..."

What about playing with her?

Seeing that Kangxi was really in a bad mood, she left without asking any further questions.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't need to wait, she still has to go back and write to the fifth elder brother how to practice arm strength and wrist strength.

After Yipin left, Kangxi felt even more lonely.

In fact, Qi Er didn't think about her for half a day, so why does it feel a bit strange?

Forget it, wait for him to be free before going to ask the queen how to get along with Zai Zai.

When Kangxi finished his work and was ready to rest, Fang Fang heard about Qi Er and Yin Reng's theory about money from the people below.

He couldn't help being amused, and then told Liang Jiugong: "Early tomorrow morning, you can pick a few fun and valuable things and send them to Qier, saying it is my apology."

As soon as he came to court on the second day, he immediately asked Liang Jiugong, "Where's Qi Er?"

"Fifth elder brother went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning early in the morning, and made delicious food with Madam Su."

"Oh. Does he like the gift I gave you?"

"This..." Liang Jiugong faltered.

"Say!"

"Fifth elder brother accepted it, but put it aside, and didn't say whether he liked it or not."

"Idiot!" Kangxi was angry, "It must be because you don't have the vision, Qi Er doesn't like the things you pick!"

He personally went to the warehouse to pick out a set of the most shining and very valuable jewelry, and asked Liang Jiugong to deliver it again.

However, when he was busy until noon, when he asked again, Yinqi still accepted his gift, but did not express anything.

I heard that Yinqi made delicious food again today.If he had forgiven him, today's food should have been delivered long ago.

Kangxi was not calm anymore.

Although I was always pissed off by Zai Zai, but now I think about the noisy, angry and funnier days.It's only been a day now, and there seems to be a big emptiness in his heart.

He realized the seriousness of the problem.

……

At this time in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Yinreng saw that Yinqi couldn't put it down for the jewelry sent by Khan Ama, so he couldn't help asking: "Qi'er, didn't you say that it's very fun to collect money, can it make you forget the previous discomfort? "

"Yes."

"Aren't you cool enough now?"

"Enough!"

"Then why didn't you forgive Khan Ama?"

"I have forgiven."

"But you..."

"Brother Yinfeng, haven't you noticed?"

"what?"

"As long as I keep acting unhappy, Khan Ama will keep sending me money!"

Yinfeng: "..."
