"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... please wait for me!"
As a personal eunuch, Mingde must accompany Ying Feiyu every step of the way.
In the past, it was okay that he often left the palace.
Now that he is the emperor, he rarely has the chance to leave the palace, so he must be by his side!
However, Ying Feiyu's steps were too fast and he had disappeared from his sight before he could react.
Finally, many servants were dispatched, and they were found in the dining room.
"Hey! Your Majesty, what are you...?"
When I saw Ying Feiyu again, I found him rubbing something on the chopping board.
His face and dragon robe were all stained with flour.
The cooks in the dining room all stood respectfully on both sides, not daring to take a breath!
“Make glutinous rice balls!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Ying Feiyu uttered three words without raising his head.
"sweet dumpling?"
Mingde frowned slightly and suddenly remembered that this new word seemed to be what His Majesty just said.
No wonder His Majesty suddenly ran to the dining room. He must have thought of something new and wanted to do it himself!
"Your Majesty, if you want to eat something, you can just tell me directly. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just idle time anyway!"
Ying Feiyu was still tinkering with the things in his hands and said absently.
"Forehead……"
Mingde was speechless.
Don’t the piles of memorials in the Imperial Study Room need to be reviewed?
How can you be idle when you are on the throne?
It’s not that there’s no work at all, it’s that His Majesty doesn’t want to do it!
"Just wait, this snack is so delicious, it's guaranteed to melt your teeth!"
Ying Feiyu raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.
"Hey! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Before Ying Feiyu became emperor, he often made some novel food in Guanghua Palace that they had never eaten or seen before, and their jaws dropped every time.
At the same time, it also developed some minor problems in them.
If it were anyone else, who would dare to let His Majesty prepare food for them?
Unless the head doesn’t want it anymore!
Even if His Majesty gives it, you still have to think about whether it is poisonous?
Otherwise, why would your Majesty reward them with food?
But in Ying Feiyu, there is no need to worry so much!
"Prepare some cooked sesame seeds and chopped peanuts! And some sugar!"
"Add more glutinous rice flour!"
"Boil water...!"
Ying Feiyu worked hard and gave orders from time to time.
"yes!"
The imperial chef did as ordered.
In about an hour, the entire chopping board was filled with snow-white balls.
"It's almost done, let's get off the pot!"
After wrapping all the glutinous rice balls with different fillings, Ying Feiyu patted his hands that were already covered with glutinous rice flour, showing a satisfied smile.
"yes!"
The imperial chef followed the instructions and put the white and fat glutinous rice balls into the pot one by one.
"Go and summon the Queen and others to the Guanghua Palace!"
"good!"
Mingde took the order and went to do it quickly.
After the glutinous rice balls were cooked, most of them were left to the chef and Mingde in the imperial kitchen.
The remaining small portion was carried on a tray by the chamberlain and sent to Guanghua Hall.
There are three kinds of fillings for glutinous rice balls, peanuts, sesame and bean paste!
Among them, Ying Feiyu’s favorite is sesame.
Soft and delicious, fragrant and sweet, one bite will satisfy your taste buds!
He simply cleaned up the flour on his dragon robe and immediately walked towards Guanghua Hall.
Can’t wait to see how those little girls behave when they try the glutinous rice balls!
Especially Zhang Xi.
She is the youngest and a foodie, especially fond of sweets.
After tasting the glutinous rice balls, I guarantee that she will smile and twist her eyebrows!
"Get started! Get started! Leave one for me!"
“There are more wolves and less meat, it’s up to whoever grabs it!”
"Move over, I haven't eaten yet...!"
However, as soon as he left the imperial kitchen, the imperial chefs swarmed to the stove, fighting for the freshly cooked glutinous rice balls.
"Gulu..."
"Old Liu, what does your food taste like?"
One of the imperial chefs picked up a plump glutinous rice ball and threw it into his mouth, eating it directly.
But when another imperial chef next to him asked, he shook his head.
"Didn't you just eat one? How come you don't even know what it tastes like?"
The person asking was puzzled.
"Well... I finally grabbed one and swallowed it in one bite. I didn't chew it at all. Who knows what it tastes like?"
The chef scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Hahaha! You are so good!"
This move immediately caused laughter from other royal chefs.
"It doesn't matter. I saw His Majesty's production process just now when I was grinding the peanuts. There is nothing too difficult. We can make it later too!"
"Haha! That's great! The glutinous rice balls are soft and glutinous, and I just haven't had enough!"
"Yes, yes, me too...!"
When the royal chefs heard this, they nodded repeatedly, very happy.
…
In Guanghua Hall, Wang Wan and others walked in slowly.
Ying Feiyu was already sitting at the dining table waiting, with three large bowls placed in front of him.
There are more than twenty round glutinous rice balls lying in each bowl!
"Husband, are you looking for us?"
After entering the door, Wang Wan asked doubtfully.
"That's right!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Husband, there is something delicious again...?"
Seeing several large bowls placed on the table, Zhang Xi's round eyes immediately shone, and she ran over, licking her lips and asking, "Husband, what... is this? There seems to be a faint... The sweet smell!”
"That's right, these are called glutinous rice balls, which are made with various fillings wrapped in glutinous rice flour! They are sweet, soft and glutinous, you must like them!"
Ying Feiyu gave a brief introduction.
Girls, most of them like sweets, so eating glutinous rice balls is just right!
"Gulu..."
Zhang Xi's eyes were brighter than before, and he stared at several bowls of white and fat glutinous rice balls with interest, swallowing his saliva, "Husband, what are these filled with?"
"This one is bean paste, and those two are peanuts and black sesame seeds!"
Ying Feiyu pointed to several large bowls and introduced them respectively.
"What? Peanuts can also be used as fillings?"
Zhangjia seemed very surprised.
"That's right! Try it?"
Ying Feiyu picked up the prepared small bowl and served them glutinous rice balls with his own hands.
The glutinous rice balls are quite big. Two of each kind are served, and a small bowl is already filled!
Zhang Xi couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, scooped up one and threw it into his mouth.
But before he could enter, he was stopped by Ying Feiyu, "Wait! The glutinous rice balls have just come out of the pot, they are very hot!"
Glutinous rice is not easy to dissipate heat, and the sugar inside will generate a very high temperature after melting.
If you take this bite, you will definitely be burned by the soup inside!
"You girl, you get impatient when you see food!"
Zhang Jia, the elder sister, pretended to be angry and scolded.
"I'm worried!"
Zhang Xi frowned, pouted, and said pitifully.
"Okay, it's almost done now, let's try it!"
After a moment, Ying Feiyu let go of her little hand and let her play freely.
