[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

There are many disasters and accidents this year, and there were early signs.

In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the temperature in Beijing has been repeated many times, sometimes cold and sometimes hot.Today is another day of unbearable heat.

The Empress Dowager had no appetite when she woke up in the morning, so she finally ate half a bowl of porridge with the sour shredded radish made by Lagu Su Ma.

"Su Mo'er, it's not that Aijia is picky on purpose. To be honest, your skill in making sour radishes is indeed inferior to Qi'er."

What Qi Er made made her taste buds feel relaxed and enjoyed, while what others made only made her taste buds feel burdened.

Aunt Su Ma was not annoyed, of course, she also admitted: "Yes, it is the same method, the same simple ingredients, but the slaves feel very different when they eat it."

Specifically, it is the shredded radish made by Yinqi, which has a refreshing and sweet taste, which belongs to the deliciousness of the radish itself, but when made by Lagu Su Ma, the flavor of the radish itself is always covered up by the flavor of the seasoning.Even if she puts less seasoning, it won't work, the taste won't come out, and it will be even more unpalatable.

How did she know that Yinqi's ingredients and condiments were carefully selected from all the similar items in the palace.Not to mention the ratio, timing, water control degree, etc., are all grasped to the best.

Liang Jiugong said that the fifth elder brother was making delicious food with Lagu Su Ma, but it was not the case.

Yinqi is still young and has a lot of playfulness. If you ask him to play the same game repeatedly every day, he likes it the most. He doesn't do repetitive tasks.

So early in the morning, he sat on the windowsill of the dining room with a bunch of snacks in his arms.

While eating, he instructed Su Ma Lagu, Milk Tea and Xiangli to do the main task, and then asked Lan Er to stand outside the window and tell him about Journey to the West.

Lan'er's talent is too low, and there is too little room for improvement, Er Niang said, in the future, Lan'er will be responsible for telling him stories, and when she is not telling stories, she will write children's fairy tales for him.In the future, you can also serve Yinqi with pen and ink.

Yinqi agrees very much. When Lan'er tells stories, it is much more vivid and beautiful than when she cooks. It seems that that is what she should do most.

And Yinfeng also set up a small table and two chairs under the big tree outside the window, drinking tea while listening to books, holding a booklet and a quill pen in his hand, recording something from time to time, like a retired old man.

Aunt Su Ma looked at the bustle and thought it was very interesting, and couldn't help but want her master to join in the fun, as people are older, don't they just like excitement?

She sent a court lady to invite someone, and after a while, the Empress Dowager really came, sat opposite Yinfeng, and also listened to Lan'er's storytelling.

"What is Wanfu remembering?" Yinfeng has changed his name, but the elders still like to call them by their original nicknames.

It took Yinreng a while before he realized that Mama Ukuma was calling him, and hurriedly handed her the brochure.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her presbyopic eyes, and found that the words written on it were all written by foreigners, "Have you learned foreign languages?"

Yinfeng replied: "I just started learning, it was taught by Huang Erniang."

The Empress Dowager nodded, "Foreigners do have a lot of powerful things, and they need to know more about it, but why do we learn this before we learn the characters of the Qing Dynasty?"

It's hard for Yinfeng to say, he was already tired of learning in his previous life, so he could only say: "I learned everything."

The Empress Dowager was very pleased: "Mama Ukuma didn't know that Wan Mo is also smart, no wonder your Empress Dowager is willing to teach you personally."

The two of them were talking, and the Empress Dowager would occasionally hear the voice of Yin Qi making people work. During this time, Lan Er kept on telling stories, and she realized that Qi Er is also a great child, who can be of one mind and two minds at such a young age. use!

It's fun to watch now.

At the age of studying, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing?

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the empress dowager could not bear to sit under the shade of the trees in the bitter summer.

"Su Mo'er, make a pot of tea for Aijia and add some ice."

Aunt Su Ma responded immediately: "Okay."

Yin Qi spoke quickly: "Mama Ukuma, don't eat hot pot tea and ice!"

The Empress Dowager: "Oh, little steward! Just a little bit, Mama Ukuma only uses a little bit."

"Okay~" Yin Qi blinked, "Then Qi Er wants to!"

Aunt Su Ma: "Okay, I will also make the biggest one for Brother Fifth."

After the iced milk tea was made, the Empress Dowager returned to the house, and Yin Qi and Yin Reng sat under the tree to enjoy the milk tea and snacks.

Kangxi's second jewelry apology was delivered at this time, and Yinqi's cheerful expression changed into a proud one in seconds.

After receiving the gift, he ruthlessly sent away the gift-giving Eunuch Liang, and when he left, he took it out to enjoy it happily.

Yinfeng was speechless. He found that his younger brother had a keen sense of smell, outstanding talent and self-taught in terms of 'making money'.

……

Kangxi wanted to have lunch at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, but Wei Zhu came outside to report that it was Concubine Tong Gui who came and brought him an appetizing and refreshing food.

Seeing that the sun was shining outside, and Concubine Tong, who didn't like the heat, came here on purpose, Kangxi paused, "Let her in."

"Greetings to my cousin."

Tong Jiashi was dressed in a white gauze, and her gait was light. Although her facial features were a bit ordinary, her skin was white and her temperament was cool. When Kangxi saw her, she felt a cool feeling rushing over her face.

It was indeed a little hot today, and he was also a little irritable. Seeing her, he felt much lighter.

"Cousin hasn't had lunch yet? Why don't you eat with me?"

"The concubine has exactly this intention."

Looking at the big fish and big meat imperial meal, Concubine Tong smiled and opened the food box in her hand, "Wouldn't it be boring to eat these in hot weather, cousin, look what I brought you?"

Kangxi saw it, but it was sour soup.

This is a traditional food of the Manchu people. In the past, the Manchu people hunted for a living. They liked meat. After eating greasy food, they would have a bowl of sour soup to relieve the greasy taste.

Kangxi remembered that the last time he ate it was two years ago when he went to Shengjing for winter hunting, and he couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

Concubine Tong smiled and said: "A few days ago, thanks to my cousin Long En, my mother-in-law allowed me to visit the palace, and my mother brought me the sour soup that I liked to eat when I was a child. Today, I remembered that my cousin once told me about it. So it was sent."

"My cousin is interested. Let's eat together."

……

Cining Palace.

It’s not yet time to use ice in summer, but the Empress Dowager Kuxia, when having lunch, ice basins have been placed in the four corners of the room, and four maids are standing behind them, holding big plantain fans and slowly fanning the air conditioner to the dining table in the middle place.

A few years ago, the queen discovered the method of making ice with saltpeter. Just like salt and iron, saltpeter has become an item controlled by the government. There is no shortage of ice cubes in the summer palace.

"Oh, it's so cool!" The weather was hot and the empress dowager knew Yinqi was here, so she greeted her one hour in advance, and now she brought the three princesses and concubine Yi to eat.

Today, in addition to the shredded radish co-produced by Su Ma Lagu and Yin Qi, there is also Yangchun noodles specially ordered by the Empress Dowager as the staple food.

Yinqi used his wrist too much yesterday, so he rested today and stopped kneading the dough.

The soup base is made by him, and the noodles are made by Su Ma Lagu.

Although it is not as good as the bowl made for the Empress Dowager yesterday, it is not too far behind.Most importantly, the serving size is enough!

The eldest princess likes to eat meat, and she was a little disappointed when she saw the noodles in clear soup: "Why is there no minced meat at all?"

The second princess: "Don't even put a single green vegetable?"

The third princess: "I want to add an fried egg!"

Yinfeng teased the third princess on purpose, "Well, it doesn't look delicious at all. Fourth brother helped you eat it."

The third princess stared wide-eyed, with an attitude of protecting food: "Fourth brother is bad! I don't want to play with you anymore, hum!"

Yinfeng: "..."

"Okay, don't tease her," the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "There are meat, vegetables and eggs on the table, just pick what you want."

That's the way it is said, but the Empress Dowager didn't pick up the meat with a chopstick. Apart from eating noodles and shredded sour radish, she ate a few green vegetables, which was already very satisfying.

She used to think that eating was not strong enough, and she always wanted to eat something heavy, but now she thinks that it is light and just right, light but delicious, and her sense of taste is alive.

It was the first time for the Empress Dowager and Yipin to eat Yangchun noodles today, and they didn't pay much attention to them at first, but they didn't expect to feel a big difference after taking the first bite of noodles.

The fragrance of wheat is too fresh, right? !

Take another sip of the soup base brewed from the high soup, which tastes rich and fragrant, but the taste is light.

They ate too much delicacies from mountains and seas, savoring the simple Yangchun noodles carefully, but it tasted different, neither of them stretched their chopsticks to other dishes on the table.

Chewing slowly, there is a soothing feeling of relaxation and comfort.

Yinfeng feels the same as other adults, he likes the simple taste of this food itself.

Relatively speaking, children don't have that kind of experience.

Although Yangchun noodles are delicious, other meat and egg dishes are also to be eaten.The eldest princess added meat, the second princess added vegetables, and the third princess soaked fried eggs under the noodle soup.Everyone ate with gusto.

Especially Yinqi, he also likes Yangchun noodles, but he eats a lot, and he cooks dishes that adults don't use chopsticks very much by himself.

It’s just that now I eat and think: the taste is mediocre, when Zai Zai grows up, I will definitely cook the best dishes, and I won’t wrong myself anymore.

After lunch, Aunt Su Ma took out cold sugar water to relieve everyone's tiredness.

Yinqi took a sip, it was sour and salty, and he added sugar, it was so greasy, but the taste was weird.

"What is this made of?"

Aunt Su Ma smiled and said, "It's a drink made from melted plums in salt water, brewed with rock sugar, and then chilled."

Sweet and sour, princesses like it very much.

Yinqi didn't think it tasted good at all, and always thought it could be improved, and was about to ask the little chef, when Wei Zhu rushed in in a hurry.

"Report, report to the empress dowager, the queen mother asked the servants to pick up the fifth elder brother and go to the Qing palace!"

Seeing that his expression was not right, everyone couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

Wei Zhu's eyes flickered: "It's just that Lord Long Live is a little unwell."

The empress dowager hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Has it been sent to the imperial doctor?"

"It's passed... Fifth elder brother, hurry up!" Wei Zhu begged.

Everyone was confused and worried: If the situation was not critical and the emperor was ill, the emperor and empress would not want to alarm the empress dowager, something must have happened.

But... What can Brother Wu do?

Before everyone could react, Yinqi's small figure had disappeared at the door, "Cub, let's go!"

Wei Zhu immediately got up and wanted to follow, but was stopped by the Empress Dowager: "Stop! What's wrong with the Emperor?"

Wei Zhu said with a bitter face, "Empress Dowager, the servant said, don't get excited."

"Say!"

"The emperor seems to be poisoned, and the imperial doctor is trying to detoxify it."

Everyone was surprised!

The Empress Dowager's eyes darkened, "Isn't there a poison-testing eunuch?"

"Concubine Tong and the poison testing eunuch also fell."

"Quickly, go to Qianqing Palace!" The Empress Dowager was not calm anymore, but fortunately she has been in good health for the past six months, so she did not fall down.

But Yinqi rode a wolfhound and soon arrived at Qianqing Palace.

The queen was waiting outside the door, and when she saw him, she held his hand with a pale face and asked, "Did you say that Pixiu taught you a way to get rid of sickness in people in an emergency?"

Yin Qi nodded.

That was before Qiuqiu left, Erniang asked him, after Paixiu left, what would happen if someone in the palace got sick?

Xiaobai asked Yinfeng that if the situation was urgent, Paixiu would teach him how to deal with it.

"Then go and see your Khan Ama!"

Yinqi had hardly seen Er Niang so restless, he also became very worried, and ran into the side hall where Kangxi was resting, and sure enough, he was covered with black sickness.

This concentration is very dangerous!

Kangxi and Concubine Tong both induced vomiting with the help of the servants, and both of them were so uncomfortable that they couldn't stand or sit still, and their faces were pale.

Yinqi looked at Khan Ama, felt a pain in his heart, and ran to Khan Ama's side without caring about anything else, took a sip, and ate everything.

He ran to Concubine Tong again, and also let out a groan.

"Hi~" This amount is too much, Yin Qi wants to sleep.

Xiu Min saw that the complexions of Kangxi and Concubine Tong gradually improved, and they no longer trembled and twitched unconsciously, so she quickly asked the imperial doctor to take the pulse again.

After taking the pulse, the imperial doctors breathed a sigh of relief, "The empress empress' method of inducing vomiting is really effective. The emperor and the noble concubine must have suffered from food poisoning. After eating for a long time, most of them will be fine after vomiting."

Xiu Min also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then looked at the drowsy Yin Qi.

She hugged him and asked in a low voice: "How many people can be cured by the method left by Pixiu? There is also a poison test eunuch who was also poisoned."

Yin Qi nodded, "Many, where is the eunuch?"

After eating the eunuch's sickness, Yin Qi muttered: "Er Niang, Zai Zai is going to take a nap." Then fell into a deep sleep.

When the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager rushed over, they heard that the Emperor and Concubine Tong were fine, they all patted their chests and sighed: "Fortunately, it was a false alarm."

Ask again: "What is going on?"

After the meal, the emperor and Concubine Tong felt unwell, with abdominal pain, vomiting and confusion.

Xiu Min has read a lot of books and experienced a lot of worlds, so she preliminarily judged that it was food poisoning, so she asked the imperial doctor to induce vomiting quickly and prescribe a detoxifying medicine.

He also asked about the food for lunch, and when he heard that Tong Jiashi had sent sour soup, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked Wei Zhu to call Yinqi.

"The problem is this bowl of sour soup?" The Empress Dowager asked, "Someone poisoned it?"

She didn't say it was Concubine Tong, because she also ate it and almost died.

Xiu Min shook her head, "It's not poisoning. There are records in foreign books that this kind of fermented rice noodle food, if there is a mistake in the production process, spoiled corn flour or unclean water is used, and poison will be produced."

"Ah..." Manchu people like to eat this, and the Empress Dowager knows it, "But I've never heard that this can eat dead people before?"

"Perhaps, it has eaten people to death, but no one knows that it may be the culprit."

"If this is the case, this kind of food should be forbidden to be eaten artificially!"

"My son thinks so too."

When Yinqi woke up, Kangxi had already recovered.

It's just that after a lot of tossing, the whole person's energy is not as good as before, and he doesn't want to move.

Yinqi woke up, washed up and ran to Qianqing Palace.

"Khan Ama, how are you?"

Qi Er came to see her as soon as she woke up, and Kangxi was so moved, "I'm fine, thanks to you."

The queen had already told him that he was very dangerous, and Yinqi cured him with the method left by Pixiu.

Yinqi tilted his head to look at him, then grinned, "Nahhan Ama, when will the consultation fee be settled?"

Kangxi: "..."

"I heard that you are the most honorable person in the whole world, so the consultation fee must be at least ten times that of ordinary people, right?"

"..." Kangxi: "You are so impolite!"

Yinqi only heard Khan Ama say 'ten times', if he had learned mathematics well and knew that there are 'hundred times, thousand times and ten thousand times', he wouldn't be so 'polite'.

Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to open a private treasury for Yinqi, "I finally understand why people say that children are debt collectors!"

Yin Qi carried back a bunch of treasures to his private treasury and hid them.

In the past two days, after getting so many treasures from Khan Ama, Yinqi decided to give something back to Khan Ama.

There are comings and goings, which is the long-term solution.

Coincidentally, it was time to eat the sour radish he pickled yesterday.

He went to the Compassion Palace, took out the five jars of sour radishes, and tried them one by one. The difference was not very big, and the system chef scored them around 70 points.

Yinqi picked two altars of the best quality, one for Mama Ukuma and Mama Huang;

Otherwise, the nitrite content will exceed the standard.

Then he picked up the third altar and went to Qianqing Palace to find Khan Ama: "Khan Ama, do you like sour? I give you this jar of sour radish."

Kangxi: "...No, thank you!"

He may never like to eat sour food again in his life. At noon, he really tried the feeling of walking before the gate of hell.

Thinking that he was almost sent away by Concubine Tong, he was so angry that he wanted to tear the culprit into pieces and throw Concubine Tong into limbo!

It was right for the queen to confine her for a year, but after only a few days, she was out of order!

Regicide is this? !

Yinqi heard Han Ama's refusal, so he had no choice but to give up, "Then Zai Zai will give you something delicious next time."

Chengqian Palace.

Concubine Tong was in a panic, she felt that a catastrophe was imminent.

Last time, he was punished so severely for just putting eyeliner on. He finally got out of the restraint. How could he be so unlucky again? !

She couldn't help resenting Er Niang, whether it was unintentional or assassinated, she is completely innocent, she was also poisoned, but it is impossible for the emperor's cousin not to vent his anger on this suspected 'regicide' crime!

"What to do, what to do?" She turned around in the room, "Ama, have they figured out a way?"

She should have knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty after waking up, but she knew that appearing in front of Kangxi now would only make him more angry.

Nanny Li who was beside Concubine Tong replied: "Master Tong has already entered the palace to plead guilty, and the matter is being investigated as soon as possible, but empress, you can't just rely on them, you have to have a countermeasure!"

"Then what do you say?"

Nanny Li said the result of her deliberation: "Your Majesty, do you apologize with death?"

"what?!"

Concubine Tong thought she had a problem with her ears.

Nanny Li: "Of course it's fake. If you put on a show, the servants will stop you."

Guifei Tong: "..."

Nanny Li: "Whether you are wrong or not, you are wrong in the eyes of the emperor. Don't contradict him. You take the initiative to admit your mistakes and 'repent with death', which is definitely more useful than pleading and explaining."

Tong Guifei was thoughtful.

After being silent for a while, she bit her lip and said, "You're right, but there is one more thing to do. You release the news first, saying that Bengong is still asleep, and then send a message to the Tong family..."

……

Yinqi asked the chef to search for him. Among all the recipes he can unlock now, is there any sour food that can relieve summer heat and relieve greasy and appetizing?

After searching in the kitchen: [The ancient method of sour plum soup in the capital: originated from the imperial teahouse during the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty...]

Yin Qi tilted his head: "Emperor Qianlong, who is it?"

Little Chef: […]

Xiaobai: [Hahahahaha...An ancient method?It's outrageous! ]

As an artificial intelligence, Xiaochu immediately corrected the name of the recipe: [Don't care about these details.Sour plum soup: The required ingredients are black plum, dried hawthorn slices, tangerine peel, licorice, dried osmanthus, rock sugar. ]

[Dark plums, dried hawthorn slices, tangerine peel, and licorice can be found in the imperial pharmacy, and the quality of dried osmanthus is better in the imperial teahouse. Rock sugar...]

This time Yinqi didn't ask the servants to look for the ingredients, but rode a wolfhound to look for them himself, because now he has higher and higher requirements for the ingredients, and the better the ingredients, the more delicious the food.

Because of the hot weather, Yinqi only set off in the evening, and when he got all the ingredients back to Kunning Palace, Kangxi was already there waiting for him to have dinner.

"Khan Ama!" Yin Qi was very happy to see the big benefactor in good condition, "Zai Zai will cook something delicious for you!"

"Qi'er is interested, but there is no need." Kangxi is not interested in any delicious food now, he only has one requirement for the food: not poisonous!

As long as it is confirmed to be non-toxic, he will even eat bitter melon!

Thinking of bitter gourd, he thought of what he did to Yinqi yesterday. He hugged Yinqi on his lap and said seriously: "Ama Khan solemnly apologizes to you for the green pepper incident yesterday. Can you forgive Ama Khan?"

Yinqi: "I'm not angry with you long ago!"

"That's good." Kangxi hugged his arm tightly.

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and Kangxi asked with a smile, "Is it really that bad?"

"Super nasty!" Yin Qi was full of rejection and disgust, "It's super nasty!"

"Really? I also think bitter melon smells bad."

Kangxi himself didn't think the green pepper had a peculiar smell, but at this moment he understood Yinqi's feelings, and felt that he was too much yesterday.

But Yinqi said: "No, the green peppers are different, super smelly!"

"Smelly?"

"Yes, it smells like Khan Ama who hasn't bathed for several days in winter!"

Xiumin: "Puchi~"

Kangxi: "???"
