Coming over at this time, seeing that it was lunch time, Shu Shu asked the kitchen to prepare food.
Qi Fujin loves sweet food, so he ordered the dish very rudely and said: "A dish of shredded apples or shredded yam, it doesn't matter."
Seeing this, Shi Fujin also said: "Can we add another dish of honey-glazed mutton? That one is delicious without shredding."
San Fujin said: "Forget it's too sweet. Let's have a platter of side dishes from your hothouse and eat them with dipping sauce. It's refreshing."
This was not a hassle, so Shu Shu asked Walnut to go down and pass on the message, saying: "I've also brought up a portion of the street food I've been trying to make in the past two days. Let's all try it."
Walnut responded.
Qi Fujin asked: "What are you doing to prepare street food at this time? Brother Jiu is going to be sent on a mission?"
San Fujin and Shi Fujin also looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to the Northeast after the Holy Birthday Festival."
After hearing this, San Fujin said: "You will suffer a lot if you go north at this time. Food is the second most important thing. You have to bring your big sweaters and clothes."
Shu Shu said: "Tell someone to prepare it."
It was common for a prince to send foreign missions. Everyone mentioned it and then put it down, talking about the holy birthday ceremony.
Sanfujin said: "Our master is sincere. When he went to Bahrain in the first month of the year, he got a string of agate beads and a gilt Maitreya Buddha statue from the Yuan Dynasty. This time, he added them to his birthday gift."
Qi Fujin said: "Our government has increased the fee by 50% according to last year's regulations."
It’s rare to live a whole life, and the next time will be ten years from now.
No one knows whether there will be any need to prepare birthday gifts when the time comes.
Shu Shu said: "We added a Mongolian robe and a small jing'er made of wool felt during last year's festival."
The things added may not look expensive, but they are made with care.
It's called Xiao Jing'er, but it's actually not that small. It's five feet square when laid out. On top are yurts, horses, sheep, dogs, and children wearing Mongolian costumes.
Shi Fujin said: "We have also added, ten bottles of foreign wine and ten snuff bottles. The imperial grandmother can reward them."
Sanfujin said: "Fortunately, I have a gift from the bottom of my head, otherwise I would not be able to pay back my annual salary for paying filial piety to the palace all year round."
This complaint is true, but it is inappropriate.
Qifu Jin changed his words, looked at Shu Shu and said: "I heard that your hothouse in Xiaotangshan is six or seven times bigger than the ones in the mansion. Will the food be rich by then? According to the example of Daxing Watermelon, we will be given it by then. There is no restriction on the type or quantity of food at home, so as to avoid people who only eat cabbage and radishes in winter and don’t like to use chopsticks.”
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Okay, I should be able to be quite wealthy."
No one is short of this amount of money, so it would be better to settle the accounts tomorrow.
Otherwise, it will be a burden of favor and will not last long.
Shi Fujin doesn't like to eat vegetables, but thinking of Brother Shi, he still said: "Then we also want some, not too much, just one and a half catties."
Sanfujin didn't answer, she didn't worry about food.
In the past six months, her relationship with her third elder brother had been on and off, and she had heard his third elder brother talk about it a lot, which had changed her previous way of eating and drinking casually.
According to Third Brother, if you buy jewelry or clothing materials, it is not a waste, you can leave it all behind.
It's okay to have a good meal once in a while, but it's not necessary to spend a lot of money on three meals a day.
While we were talking, at noon, the dinner table was set.
Xiaotang brought the people from the dining room and brought the food boxes over.
In addition to a few dishes ordered by several Fujins, a table was also set up.
The meat options include crispy fish, oil-soaked meat, cured beef, and smoked rice sausage; the vegetarian options include Chiba tofu, dried eggs, five-spice gluten, and vegetarian chicken.
There is also a vegetarian meatball pot and a beef offal pot.
Shi Fujin found it very strange. She liked all kinds of meat, and she didn't like to eat vegetarian dishes on weekdays. But today, she ate both the thousand-page tofu and the vegetarian meatballs.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, is there any oil residue in the vegetarian meatballs?"
Shi Fujin looked at the small particles inside and said, "It doesn't taste vegetarian at all. It's fragrant, just like eating meat."
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "It contains fried vermicelli pieces."
It tastes like meat, mainly because of the special process used in both.
Nowadays, in addition to mushrooms and vegetables, the vegetarian dishes outside include eighteen ways to eat tofu.
Over and over again, there is nothing new, and everyone is tired of it.
Shu Shu asked someone to make soy protein powder, and then made it into thousand-page tofu and vegetarian meatballs.
These two are still soy products, but they taste different from the tofu, dried tofu, and tofu skin that you usually eat.
A table full of street food was enjoyed by everyone.
Everyone chatted happily, ate happily, and left satisfied.
Shu Shu went directly to Ning'an Hall and said, "Ah Mou, how about some vegetarian dishes today? From now on, the small dining room here will prepare more bean flour. If you don't eat meat, you should eat more of that." "
The uncle said: "Chiba tofu is good. You can just fry it and eat it. Forget about the other things. It is too time-consuming to make it carefully."
Shu Shu said: "The master of the stove has taken a portion of rice. If you want a less troublesome dish, we will lose money."
Mrs. Bo shook her head and said, "How can we calculate it like this?"
Shu Shu said: "As the old saying goes, 'Life is all about eating and drinking.' If you have to deal with eating and drinking, what fun is there in that life?"
Mrs. Bo rolled her eyes and said, "Is it the old saying, or is it you who said it yourself?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's just about food and drink. Naturally, you have to follow your heart, and it doesn't involve arrogance and extravagance."
The life in the inner house was boring, and Mrs. Bo was happy to have a leisurely pastime. She only reminded: "It should be in moderation. You should read when you should. Don't forget that there are many problems caused by eating and drinking."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Don't worry, not only will you continue to read, but you will also not pull the bow down. You must keep your body well..."
Since he promised to send food to Ningshou Palace, Shu Shu did not rush to bring it on the third day of October. Instead, on the morning of the second day of October, he packed the jars and boxes, and took Xiaotang to deliver them in person. A trip.
"There are six items in total..."
Shu Shu laid them out one by one, showed them to the Queen Mother, and introduced them carefully: "These are vegetarian meatballs. They are made with soybean flour and vermicelli. They are deep-fried with soybeans. You can make soup or braise them when eating..."
"This is Qianye Tofu, which is also made from soybean flour. You can't taste the beany smell..."
"This is dried egg. It's easy to make. You can stir-fry it or braise it..."
"This is vegetarian louver. It uses konjac powder and can be used to make cold dishes..."
"The remaining two items, vegetarian chicken and gluten, are also available in the palace, they are nothing..."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Make it all once and try it today. The delicious food will be available again tomorrow."
Shu Shu had no objection and sent these ingredients, which came with a recipe book, and asked Xiaotang to follow Aunt Bai to the dining room of Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother touched Shu Shu's wrist and said, "Don't you need to make up for it in autumn? Why aren't you fat at all?"
Shu Shu pinched her face and said, "I have gained seven or eight pounds."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "You are such a tall person, these few pounds are nothing. It is not noticeable at all. Just follow Xiao Buyin's example, eat more, and be more fleshy."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask someone to fry the fruit. The one who eats it will gain weight."
The Queen Mother said happily: "That's good. This winter is the time to gain weight."
When a table of vegetarian dishes was served, the Queen Mother asked Shu Shu to sit with her, and the grandfather and grandson started eating.
"After this meatball vermicelli is cooked, I will make another one for Qianqing Palace tonight..."
While eating, the Queen Mother ordered the people next to her: "Make this tofu into a sweet and sour flavor. Give a portion to Concubine Yi in the evening. She loves sweet things..."
"The dried eggs are good. I marinated them with the vegetarian chicken at night and gave them to Shuhui. I mixed the vegetarian leaves with cucumber shreds this evening, added a spoonful of red oil and gave them to Duanshun..."
Shu Shu sat at the bottom and watched with a smile.
When the dining table is removed, it will be a good thing prepared by the Queen Mother for Shu Shu.
A mink end shield.
"I present these to you every year. If not ten, there are eight. First, I will give one to Xiaojiu as a dowry, and this one as a birthday gift for you..."
The Queen Mother said.
Shu Shu stood up and said, "This is too expensive. My granddaughter-in-law doesn't have the chance to wear this on weekdays."
Compared with the silk winter coats that are worn daily with fur facing inward, this kind of fur facing outward is more like a dress.
Princes wear these more often in winter, while women wear less of them.
The Queen Mother said: "Wear it over cotton clothes when going out. It is warm and convenient. It can be used to hold down your legs when riding in the car."
Shu Shu has to go out with her ninth brother, and her greetings in October will be delayed several times, so she must mention it to the Queen Mother.
When she came here a few days ago, she told the Queen Mother in private.
The rewards prepared by the Queen Mother are also practical.
The elder gave it to Shu Shu, who took it from Aunt Bai with both hands, put it directly on the outside of her clothes and showed it to the Queen Mother, saying: "It's so warm. It feels different when I put it on. I'm sweating."
The Queen Mother looked satisfied and nodded: "As long as it's warm, it's good as long as it's warm..."
In addition to the end shield, there is also a brand new cloisonné enamel hand burner with a pattern of blessing sea and sky on it.
"I also carry this with me. It's better when I go out than at home."
The Queen Mother ordered.
Shu Shu thanked him again.
She came into the palace with big and small bags, and came out with big and small bags.
In addition to end caps and hand stoves, there are also 100 packages of various kinds of pastry.
This is for her to carry as a cushion on the road.
In the current weather, this hard-faced pastry can hold up well and is suitable for taking with you when you go out.
Shu Shu returned to the house and was reminded by the Queen Mother's 100 packets of pastries from the Ningshou Palace kitchen.
She and Brother Jiu don't like to eat dumplings very much, but most people nowadays prefer eating dumplings.
If there's sugar and oil, that's good stuff.
Shu Shu then ordered Xiaotang, who was in charge of the food for going out, "According to the average number of people going out, the average person is five kilograms. We will prepare some pastries. Just make them red or white. If you are not afraid of the pressure, you can eat them on the day you go out." , extra meals on the way.”
This dumpling was not prepared by the Prince's Palace Dining Room, but sent directly to the Baiweizhai Pastry Shop for ordering.
Xiaotang agreed and said, "Do you still want the fried noodles from before?"
The extra meal prepared for the accompanying people was also from Baiweizhai, which was fried noodles.
In this way, when you reach the intermediate station, you can eat it dry or soak it in water.
These are in addition to meals.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I want it too, but the amount is two kilograms per person..."
I will go to the palace to kowtow tomorrow, and I will be able to go out early the day after tomorrow...
