Fourth Lord's Black Moonlight Queen

Chapter 792 Life Needs a Sense of Ritual
The Cao family is not so stupid, they definitely would not intentionally show off in front of their master, that only shows that they already feel that everything today is too shabby and cannot be any more shabby.

One can imagine how extravagant life is on weekdays.

The dishes during the banquet were quite satisfactory, never out of the ordinary.

But Li Jingui always felt that something was wrong.

Liuli watched the master pick up several chopsticks on the same plate, so she bowed her head to remind the master that she had violated the rules.

In the palace, Liuli never dared to control what and how the master ate, but this was outside, so no matter how big or small, she had to follow the rules.

"Oh, this dish is really made of eggplant. I have lived most of my life, and I have never eaten such a delicious eggplant."

Lan Qier kept praising her, and she praised the eggplant that even Li Jingui, a foodie, couldn't help picking up a few extra chopsticks.

"How is this cooked? I'll let the small kitchen in the mansion try it when I go back."

Lan Qier actually started to ask how to make it, which shows that he likes this eggplant dish very much.

Li Jingui was also very curious about how the eggplant was made, but due to the concubine's airs, he was embarrassed to condescend to ask.

"Mrs. Zhang, this dish is indeed eggplant. The name of the dish is Eggplant."

The one who spoke was Mrs. Ma, whom Li Jingui found difficult to provoke.

"It's not difficult. You pick off the new eggplant buns in April and May, remove the skin and stalks, and only need to clean the meat, cut it into hair-thin shreds, and dry it. Take a fat hen Rely on the old soup, put the chicken soup steamed on the shredded eggplant into the flavor, and then take it out to dry."

"Steaming and drying nine times like this, it must be brittle, and it is stored in a magnetic jar and sealed tightly."

"When you want to eat, take out a plate and mix it with fried chicken and melon seeds."

God, I thought it was just an ordinary eggplant, but I didn't expect that in order to make this dish, it would have to be steamed and dried nine times. That's eighteen chickens.

"Oh, this method is rare. Can those fat chickens do something else?"

Lan Qier asked very cryptically, she was implying the Cao family, should they just throw away those fat chickens?
"The essence is in the soup, and the chicken is too dry. If you can eat it, you can only give it to cats and dogs."

It was a young child who spoke.The so-called nonsense.

"Sister Qiao, Xio's nonsense!"

"mother"

The little girl looked at her ferocious mother with grievances, and she didn't lie, why did her mother lose her temper?
"Those chickens are made into chicken shredded noodles or chicken porridge, or cold sesame oil shredded chicken, but they go well with rice."

The Cao family who ate this meal were all very cautious. They used the standard of entertaining Lord Kangxi, and even changed the objects served in front of the imperial court with simple and unpretentious ones to cater to the temper of today's Long Live Lord who does not like extravagance.

It shouldn't go wrong.

After lunch, the Cao family knelt down and left.

At this moment, Lan Qier was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

"Jingui, I see that Cao's family is richer than Yinzhen's. Have you seen the washing-washing items and unnamed dishes just now?"

"That's right, just now the eggplants had to be dipped in sauce one by one, I almost made a fool of myself, and the soap, none of the soaps given to me by Fourth Master have ever been made so exquisitely."

You must know that the foreign soap that the Ministry of Internal Affairs takes from Shisanxing is only a few yuan a year, and foreigners are also very scarce.

As far as the few dollars found by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all given to Li Jingui by the fourth master, there was no such rare thing as soap in the Queen's Palace.
