The golden and jade of the peasant girl in charge

Chapter 517 Red Yeast Powder (4)
Whenever Ning Ci is busy, she always pays extra attention, and when she is so busy, it's time for dinner.

The whole palace became full of vitality because of the arrival of several children, and it was full of laughter and anticipation because it was waiting for Ning Ci's lunch.When the girl came to deliver the dishes, all the tables, big and small, had already sat down obediently. When the dishes were served, their eyes widened!

Originally, I thought there would be a big meal, but after Ning Ci has been busy for so long, it turned out to be a dish!A big sea bowl, with various colored balls floating on it, is really beautiful.

When Jiang Chengye took his seat with his arms around Ning Ci, everyone at the table was still waiting, and no one put down their chopsticks.

Ning Ci watched them staring at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you say you want to make a test product for a new dish? Don't you want to do it yet?"

Jiang Xuyang smiled, and put down his chopsticks calmly: "You can't just eat like this! Ning Ci, I've already asked you about it. During the regional competitions, they all use their own specialty dishes. It depends on luck." It depends on strength or lip service, whoever’s special dish makes the chief examiner feel more suitable for the palace, whoever will come, but at the end, it will be the chief examiner’s proposition. Soon after you compete with the representative of Jiangnan, you will use your best Yes, your craftsmanship, I think everything is delicious, but you have to have an explanation for this dish, if you don’t mention it, let’s just use the chopsticks, it’s too lacking in that posture!"

Liu Minyuan satirized reflexively: "Eat as you please, you are the one who has the most to do."

Jiang Xuyang didn't give in either: "Learn a bit, this king has been in the palace longer than you, and I know exactly what routines the palace likes!" After finishing speaking, he turned to Ning Ci without looking at Liu Minyuan. With a wave of his hand: "Come on, talk about it!"

Ning Ci smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The main ingredient of this dish is mandarin fish, and minced pork, minced shrimp, pork broth and spinach leaves are also used as ingredients."

Liu Minyuan blinked: "The white balls are mandarin fish, right? Green...you must have mixed the color with vegetable juice. I have eaten emerald balls made in the palace before, but I have never seen this red one before." , could it be that the vegetable juice is also used?"

Ning Ci shook her head: "It's red yeast rice powder."

"Minced pork and minced shrimp are mixed vigorously with cooking wine and refined salt, squeezed out small balls by hand and placed in a bowl, poured pork soup into the bowl, put it in the ice cellar to freeze for two hours, and then cut into cubes about the size of the balls , and finally cut into the shape of balls. You are right, the green balls are indeed green mud made from the vegetable juice of the vegetable leaves after boiling to remove the foam and then controlled with clean water. The main ingredient of the balls is minced fish with ginger juice The green and red made of green mud and red yeast powder are mixed respectively, and the white is the true color of mandarin fish. After that, the minced pork filling is wrapped with minced green fish paste, and the minced shrimp filling is wrapped with minced red fish paste. White fish paste wrapped with pork soup jelly stuffing, put three kinds into clear water and boil. This dish is called Liuli Zhuji." Ning Ci patiently explained the production method, which made the people around the table a little puzzled .

"No wonder it took so long to make this thing, so many processes are required." Jixiang couldn't help but sigh.She has always known that Ning Ci is extraordinarily particular about making things, but she never thought that making a meatball is so complicated.

Jiang Chengye took the lead in scooping up the white mandarin fish balls for his son and wife. Xiao Yu'er couldn't wait to scoop up the balls in the spoon and groaned. Ning Ci didn't have time to stop him, seeing Xiao Yu'er being scalded by the frozen soup Mouth, obviously already teary-eyed, still didn't stop mouth, biting small bites, it's so heart-wrenching to watch!

Jiang Chengye started, and everyone was very polite. Ning Ci cooked a lot of glazed beads in this pot. The broth was delicious, and the cooked meatballs were so fragrant that people wanted to bite off their own tongues.The delicious meatballs and fresh soup make you feel full after a meal. Jiang Xuyang gritted his teeth in satisfaction and nodded: "I really have nothing to say! Ning Ci, I thought you had a noble status in Prince Ning's Mansion, so I should give it to you." It was born, haha, today really reassured me!"

Liu Minyuan spat at him: "Bah! You're being a good boy even if you get a bargain!"

A meal of glazed pearls made these people who were worried about Ning Ci suddenly relieved of their troubles.After the meal, Ning Ci suddenly proposed to take a walk in the streets of the city, and then stop by to see what Jixiang and the others needed to bring back.

In fact, Jixiang and the others, in addition to being accompanied by Jiang Xuyang and Liu Minyuan these days, have already walked around Bianjing quite early in the morning. If they want to buy something, they don’t need Ning Ci to worry about it, but everyone agrees. Everyone in Xuan took this as a way for Ning Ci to relax, but in the end it was everyone who accompanied her to go out for a stroll.

Bianjing daughters like Liu Minyuan are innumerable in the city, and they naturally need a carriage to travel, but today's weather is very good, Ning Ci had a whim, and wanted to just go for a walk on foot.

"The competition is about to start. If you want to go to the street, forget it. At least take a carriage. There are many people on the street. What should I do if there is a collision?" Liu Minyuan felt that Ning Ci was in an emergency now, so she shouldn't return So careless, but Ning Ci didn't care, and Jiang Chengye always directed at her, even though he felt it was inappropriate, he followed silently in the end.

Jiang Xuyang still had some study cases to prepare, so he didn't go out with him.Liu Minyuan was originally in high spirits, but when she saw Jiang Xuyang, a snake maniac, suddenly enter the study in the elegant form of a gentleman without accompanying him, her interest dropped by two points.

The weather outside today is fine, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is warm, and the outside of Bianjing is bustling and bustling, with small businesses and hawkers all over the city.Jiang Chengye hugged Xiao Yuer and followed Ning Ci, beside Ji Xiang and Zhang Lan, Liu Minyuan helped look after the children, a little absent-minded.

"Actually, we all bought a lot of things, and we spent a lot of the money we brought out. We really don't need to buy anything more!" Ji Xiang looked at Ning Ci and picked out expensive things without blinking. Luo silk satin, as if it didn't cost money to buy, scared Ji Xiang so much that he didn't dare to pick it up.

Not to mention auspiciousness, even Liu Minyuan, who was absent-minded, was frightened by Ning Ci's handwriting. The oldest medicinal herb shop in Bianjing City, genuine thousand-year-old ginseng, these are top-notch good things, and belong to the treasure of the Qin family in Xishu. The counterpart is to offer rare and rare treasures to the palace, and because of this relationship, the price of the treasures they have is more expensive.

"This thousand-year-old ginseng has a great tonic effect. Big sister, my hands feel much better now. Although the method of pricking the acupoints with golden needles is biased, it is also effective. When I return to Dongqiao, I will ask Cheng Ye to do it for my brother-in-law too." Applying acupuncture, this ginseng is just for my brother-in-law to nourish his body and comfort him for his hard work in guarding the family!" Ning Ci smiled sweetly, as if she was going to pay the bill.

"Wait!" When Ning Ci was about to pay the bill, an arrogant voice interrupted.

Yang Minru was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and was supported by a girl to get off a luxurious carriage. Her gaze passed over Jiang Chengye who was holding the child, and a look of pain flashed in her eyes.
