Chapter 101 Looking for plums in the snow 1
"Follow what I said, you'll be fine in three to five days, bear with it. Eat the dumplings and chicken, and don't let Eve down."

"You really only love her, not your brother."

Yue Hong teased such a sentence, the corner of Du Jingmo's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't dare to really laugh, he just said: "You are sick and confused."

Wang Yifu smiled slightly, avoided embarrassment, and said instead: "Brother Yue, just tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you."

"No need, you cook delicious food, I can't taste it in my mouth, but it's a pity for your craftsmanship. This tasteless steamed bun and white porridge, the imperial army is still enough, so don't do it."

"Then how can we do it? Especially when you are sick, you must eat something good, otherwise how will you get better?"

"I, a rough man in the mountains, don't need to be so delicate. You are also busy. This year is not over yet, so don't burden yourself."

Du Jingmo also persuaded Wang Yifu: "Don't worry, he is in good health, it's just a cold, he will be fine in a few days."

"Then I'll make some sweets and let brother Yue eat his medicine."

With Wang Yifu's insistence, Du Jinmo and Yue Hong couldn't refuse any more. If they refused again and again, it would be better to follow her heart and chat for a few words. Yue Hong asked Du Jingmo to give Wang Yifu a gift. Wang Yifu didn't wait for Yue Hong After finishing speaking, he said goodbye and ran away.

In the afternoon, Wang Yifu made frosted candied dates for Yue Hong to remove the bitter taste, and at the same time made a palace dish that she had seen in the book, looking for plums in the snow.

This dish was read by Shen Ci from a book, and she explained the recipe to her in detail, and she was so fascinated that she wrote it down. During the Chinese New Year period, the Imperial Dining Room had a lot of ingredients from all over the country, and she just happened to use them.

The main ingredients of this snow-covered plum dish are shrimp, scallops, sausage, and eggs.

Among the ingredients available in their dining room, the big prawns are from the East China Sea, the scallops are from Jiang Yaozhu from the South China Sea, the sausages are from Anchang, Shaoxing, and the eggs are the least old ones, collected from farmers in the suburbs of Beijing.

To make this dish, you must first steam the scallops and sausages, tear the scallops into shreds, only need egg whites, add seasoning and water, stir slowly but not foam, and steam over high heat to form a hibiscus bottom.

Then pick out the prawn meat, chop it into prawn paste with the back of a knife, season with starch and stir well, and finally squeeze it into egg yolk-sized balls, dip it in shredded scallops and steam it until cooked.

Finally, the shrimp balls are placed on the steamed lotus root, the sausage is cut into oval slices, and arranged in a circle to form a flower shape, and then a slice of millet pepper is placed in the flower center of the sausage as a flower stamen.

The bottom of this plate is a pure white "snow ground", on which there are "snow balls" made of scallop shrimp balls, and the other half is plum blossoms arranged with sausage slices.

She made this dish twice, the first time she let Shen Ci and Mo Xi taste the taste, unexpectedly both of them nodded in satisfaction, there was nothing left to improve.

The second time, she gained confidence, and took the time to cook the pot, just in time for the eunuch who carried the food to come and take the food.

In the evening, when she brought Yue Hong back with candied dates, looking in from the alley, most of the dining rooms had already packed up and gone to rest.

The fire in the dining room headed by the head is not extinguished, and some light porridge and snacks are warmed all year round for emergencies.She looked inside, and there was only one female history guarding the fire.

While looking at the fire, she squatted on the ground clutching her stomach. Wang Yifu's heart moved, and she stood at the door and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

That Nu Shi looked back at her, as if seeing a savior, and begged: "Nu Shi, can you watch for me for a while, my stomach is uncomfortable and I have been holding it for a long time."

Wang Yifu looked left and right in the dining room, and there was no one else except this female history who had a stomachache, and asked, "Why are you the only one in this dining room?"

"It's Chinese New Year, there are always people who ask for leave at night to touch the dice and play cards." She moved closer and whispered: "The emperor is also coming of age, pay attention to health care, and rarely eat supper at night, you wait for a while, Don't be afraid."

"Okay, but you have to hurry up, in case someone finds out..."

"I'll be right there."

After she finished speaking, she immediately ran to the toilet. Wang Efu stepped into the house in two or three steps, closed the half door, walked to the shrine of the ancestor chef, climbed up the stove, and began to grope carefully from under the shrine.

There was nothing on the top, bottom, left, right and four sides. She groped up from the back of the shrine, and found a brocade pouch. She took it out and took a look. It was black, about the size of a palm, with the Chinese character "birthday" embroidered on it in white.

She threw the kit on the food box, and continued to reach into the shrine, up, down, left, and right, but there was nothing, and when she took it out, she accidentally touched the statue.

As soon as the statue turned, the wooden board under the shrine suddenly shrank by half, and a cowhide package fell out of it.

Wang Yifu quickly turned the statue back. The cowhide package was similar to the one she got from the imperial hospital. She put everything into the food box first, and just after closing the lid, she heard the female history going to the toilet. the sound of.

"Thank you, you have solved my urgent need, and I am much better."

Holding the food box, Wang Yifu turned around and said with a smile: "That's good, I have to go out quickly, it will be bad if people see it."

She went out in a hurry, and that female Shi suddenly became enthusiastic, pulled her and said, "Nv Shi, don't worry, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Eve. Don't drag me. It's not good for others to see. I have to return the food box."

Wang Yifu rushed to the dining room, but the female secretary didn't stop her. When she arrived, only Shen Ci was finishing the work.

The rule set by Mo Xi is that the dining rooms take turns to finish, Shen Ci is a careful person, all the bottles and cans must be put in order, and the knives, bowls and bowls must be neatly arranged before she leaves.

Wang Yifu couldn't hide the cowhide package, so she had an idea, first closed the dining room door tightly, took out the kit from the food box and hid it in her sleeve and walked to Shen Ci's side.

"what happened?"

Wang Yifu obviously closed the door, but looked back, then took out the kit from his sleeve, with a low voice, as if saying some great secret.

"Just now, there was a female history in the first dining room who had a stomachache. Let me watch the fire for her. I found this thing in the dining room. I didn't dare to say anything. I just kept it and brought it out."

Shen Ci took the kit, glanced at it and frowned, Wang Yifu asked: "What's wrong? Do you know whose horoscope it is?"

"Isn't the year, month and day in Chinese characters the empress's birthday?"

Wang Yifu calculated the first three horoscopes, thinking about the age of double ten last year, June 26, it really matched.

"This is...a witchcraft for the empress..."

"Hurry up and find someone who understands this and deal with it."

"Why don't we just burn it?"

"It can't be burned. If something happens, what should we do with the empress? We don't understand this stuff."

"Where do we go to find someone who understands this kind of stuff..."
