Chapter 53 Can You Eat It

The other people saw this dog hole, but they didn't want to use this hole to escape from the cold palace.If they had just entered the cold palace and had been thinking about getting out for a few years and discovered this dog hole, they would definitely escape from the cold palace without thinking about anything.

But they have been in the cold palace for so many years, and the urge and urgency to escape from the cold palace have long been worn away.Moreover, they now have good food, good housing, and money to earn in the cold palace, so why should they escape and die?
Even if you escape, what will happen?Those days may be even more difficult than living in this cold palace!

Xu Taibin asked Leng Luoyue if she wanted to block the dog hole. Leng Luoyue felt that since no one had any intention of escaping through the dog hole, it didn't matter whether the dog hole was blocked or not.Then he said: "Just leave it like this! Don't worry about it."

Nowadays, almost all the vegetables in the vegetable fields opened here can be eaten.Vegetables are basically self-sufficient. All that is required is Zhang Wei and the others to bring some meat and vegetables every day, or some rice and noodles to the palace every ten and a half months.

Moreover, these days, when Mrs. Xu and the others had free time, they opened several vegetable plots and grew their own favorite vegetables.

Because the dish to be cooked today was spicy chicken, and the chickens raised by Leng Luoyue were not big enough to eat, she asked Guard Zhang to bring seven or eight killed chickens into the palace.

These chickens all belong to Zhang Su's family. These chickens were raised by his mother in the backyard of his house. They had just been raised and when Leng Luoyue asked for chickens, he took his own chickens, which cost [-] cents each.

This chicken is fed by grain, which is more expensive than other ingredients.

Caiwei and Wei agreed to pick vegetables in the vegetable field with Xu Taibin. Xu Taibin looked at the peppers that Caiwei was picking and asked, "Luoyue said that we have never eaten delicious food. Should we use this for cooking?" ah?"

Caiwei nodded and said: "This is called chili pepper. It is a seed that the empress got by chance. We tried it yesterday and the dishes fried with it are delicious."

Yesterday at noon, the empress asked her to use the chili peppers to make fried shredded pork with chili peppers. It was so delicious that she ate three bowls of rice before she was willing to put down her chopsticks.

Wei agreed and said with a smile: "Then we are in for a treat today."

"By the way, can we eat the soil lumps we planted together?" Xu Taibin asked, pointing to the two rows of potatoes next to her.

Caiwei glanced at the two rows of green fields and said, "I don't know! Let's pull one out later and have a look." The empress had said that the lumps were called potatoes, and the fruits grew in the soil and could be steamed or fried. It can also be fried.

Caiwei and the others finished picking vegetables and pulled off a potato vine. The three of them were startled by this pull.There are more than ten potatoes hanging under this vine!They don't look big in size, the largest one is about the size of an egg, and the smaller one is about the size of a quail egg. It looks like they haven't grown yet.

"Oh my God! When we planted it, it was just such a small piece, but we didn't expect that it would produce so much soil..." Mrs. Xu got stuck.Caiwei had told her the name of this lump, but she had forgotten it.This lump looked like a lump when it was planted, but now it doesn't look like a lump. The skin is yellowish and looks quite fresh.

Caiwei smiled and said, "Potato."

"Yes, potatoes." Xu Taibin said, "The yield of potatoes is not low! One vine can bear so many fruits."

Wei agreed and thought that the yield of the potatoes was extremely high, and said, "Looking at it like this, it must be that they haven't grown yet. I don't know how big they will be when the potatoes are mature."

Caiwei looked at the potato in her hand, frowned and said, "It hasn't grown yet, should we plant it back again?"

Xu Taibin smiled and said: "I have already pulled it out, can I still survive if I plant it back again?"

Caiwei stuck out her tongue: "I'm going to ask the queen if she can eat it. If it can be eaten, we will eat it to avoid wasting it."

"As it should be."

Caiwei went to see her mother-in-law with the potatoes. Leng Luoyue took a look and said that she could eat them, but it would take a few more months to grow fully.

However, there were only a dozen small potatoes, which were not enough to eat even if they were fried, so they asked Caiwei and the others to bury them in the ashes while cooking and roast them directly before eating them, so there was no need to waste any time.

Then, Caiwei and the others took the picked vegetables to the big kitchen of the workshop to prepare lunch.Others also came to the workshop, just to see what delicious food they had been thinking about for two or three days.

Leng Luoyue has already told Caiwei the steps to make spicy chicken. Even if she doesn't go to Caiwei, she still knows how to make it.

She planned to wait until the spicy chicken was finished frying before going there, because there were no range hoods in this era, and the smell of frying chili would be particularly choking.The kitten is still young and choking is not good, so it is better for her to go later.

In the big kitchen, Caiwei was in charge of cooking, Concubine Xu was lighting the fire, and Wei promised to cut and wash vegetables.

The braised pork was already simmering in the cauldron at the back, and the chicken had been chopped into small pieces and marinated in a wooden basin. There were seven or eight chickens, which was enough for a basin and a half.

The oil in the iron pot was already hot. Caiwei fried the marinated chicken pieces in batches until the skin was golden.

Lin Liang and several others stood in the kitchen and watched, smelling the aroma of fried chicken and swallowing their saliva.

After the chicken pieces were fried, Caiwei left some base oil and added a large amount of onions, ginger, garlic cloves and Sichuan peppercorns. After the fragrance exploded, she added chili peppers.As soon as the chili is put into the pot, the pungent and spicy flavor comes out.

"Cough cough cough..."

Mrs. Xu and the others coughed. Lin Liangren and the others, who were standing in the kitchen watching Caiwei cooking, choked on the spicy taste and ran out of the kitchen.

After leaving the kitchen, I couldn't stop coughing.

Xu Taibin and Wei Yingcheng both covered their mouths and noses with their hands, not daring to speak, because as soon as they opened their mouths, the spicy taste would go down their throats, which would make them even more uncomfortable.

Caiwei calmly put all the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried them with a waving shovel.

Xu Taibin and Wei agreed, looking at her with admiration and thinking: "Isn't she afraid of the spicy taste? When this chili is fried, it makes people choke so hard. How can it be delicious? ?”

The two became suspicious.

People outside also felt choked by the spicy smell.

"Oh my god! What is this! It smells so spicy and so offensive to the nose?"

Lin Liangren, whose voice was hoarse due to coughing, said: "What kind of chili is it? Luoyue said he would make us a delicious dish that we have never tasted before. This is it."

"Just smelling it makes people feel so uncomfortable, how can it be delicious?" someone questioned.

Zhao Meiren said: "Luoyue probably won't lie to us. The smell is a bit spicy, and it's a bit choking, but it's not too uncomfortable."

After Caiwei finished frying the spicy chicken, Concubine Xu and Wei agreed and felt better.

After suffering in the kitchen for a while, the spicy chicken was ready, so Concubine Xu and Wei agreed to taste it first.

After the two tasted it, they both gasped and took back what they had just said in their hearts.

This chili is a bit pungent when fried, but the spicy chicken fried with it is fragrant, spicy, and incredibly delicious.
