Su Lele plans to pickle duck eggs to make salted duck eggs, which can be used to make egg yolk crisps, salted egg yolk egg rolls, and salted egg yolk biscuits. Eggs are used to make tea eggs and sesame eggs.
Arriving at the pork stall, Su Lele quickly agreed with the butcher to deliver 100 kilograms of pork to the palace tomorrow. He saw two pairs of pigs in the basket and wanted to buy them. The butcher also knew how to be a good person. Two pairs of pigs were sold without cash. Give her the money.
Su Lele also visited the grocery store and bought some aniseed, sesame seeds, and flour.
Finally, they moved to Zhu's blacksmith shop, where Su Lele planned to buy a few more large iron plates and two frying pans. I thought it would take a few more days to finish the work, but the waiter said that his boss had made some more last time and sold them in the iron shop, and there were still some in stock.
This owner is really good at it, no wonder the business is booming. After settling the wages and instructing the waiter to deliver it to the palace later, Su Lele returned home.
Back at the palace, the housekeeper came to report: "The farmers selling chicken and duck eggs have already delivered the chicken and duck eggs."
"Well, from now on he will regularly send chickens, ducks and eggs to the palace every two days. Then you can settle the money on the spot and record it. Come to my garden at the end of each month and I will settle the settlement for you in one go."
"This...isn't it right for the princess?" How can the princess pay for her daily expenses? The palace has plenty of money.
Su Lele had her own considerations, and it was better to make a clear distinction with Leng Yichen. After all, it was just a contractual marriage. In addition, in the future, some food materials will be purchased regularly for trading, and it will definitely not be possible to settle with the palace's money.
"Nothing wrong."
"Okay." The housekeeper agreed on the surface, but still felt that he had to report this matter to the prince.
After returning to Bieyuan, prepare to make salted duck eggs. Su Lele took a look in the dining room and didn't see any rice wine. She just forgot to buy it. He had no choice but to tell his servants to go to the big kitchen and get a can of the most concentrated wine.
Su Lele and several servants cleaned the duck eggs and wiped them dry. At this time, the servants had also brought back the rice wine. Pour the salt and wine into two wooden plates separately. Su Lele began to instruct everyone: "First put the duck eggs in the wooden plate with the wine, roll the duck eggs, and then put them in the wooden plate with the salt. The duck eggs are all coated in salt.”
The duck eggs wrapped in salt were put into large earthen jars one by one and sealed. Su Lele placed the three large earthen jars in a cool and ventilated place in the dining room.
There are 102 eggs, and Su Lele plans to use half to make spiced tea eggs and the other half to make sesame sauce eggs.
This time Su Lele did not plan to let the servants of the palace watch how she operated. The main reason was that she would develop new snacks in the future and sell them. The skills she used to survive could not be leaked. After two years, she and the prince reconciled and divorced the prince. no problem. It seems that I need to buy a few servants. I will open a branch in the future and train my servants in advance.
Instructing the maid Qiu Yu to boil the eggs, Su Lele went to prepare the star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and peppercorns, and then went back to the hall to get some tea. After the eggs are cooked, lightly crack the shells one by one.
Pour water into a large pot, add aniseed, tea leaves, eggs, soy sauce, salt, a little sugar, bring to a boil over low heat, and cook for half an hour.
To make sesame sauce eggs, you need sesame paste and five-spice powder. It took Su Lele half an hour to make them. By this time, the tea eggs were almost ready. The aroma of tea leaves and marinade filled the entire garden, and several servants were breathing heavily outside.
This overbearing fragrance not only drifted to all parts of Yanyu Pavilion, but also to Yijing Pavilion.
"What smells so fragrant? It tastes like tea and spices."
Leng Yunmo was playing chess with Leng Yichen. Leng Yichen got married a few days ago and he hadn't seen Su Lele's face yet. He was very curious and came over today to have a look. As a result, when he came to Yijing Pavilion, he only saw Leng Yichen. When he learned that Su Lele lived in another villa, he had to give up first.
Leng Yichen smelled the fragrance and paused for a moment while holding a black chess piece. The smell came from the direction of Yanyu Pavilion. It seemed that she was very busy in the palace these days. Thinking that she was involved in the agreement He writes that he will continue to do business after marriage. This vigorous and resolute style is very similar to his own.
"I guess the princess is making delicious food." Su Lele's cooking skills completely captured Leng Feng's taste buds due to the incident of eating leftovers two days ago.
"Are you kidding me? Isn't it the chef in the dining room who is cooking?" Leng Yunmo looked unbelieving.
Leng Yichen and Lengfeng glanced at him and ignored him.
After the tea eggs are cooked, let them sit for a few hours to allow the tea eggs to fully absorb the flavor.
Su Lele and Qiu Yu cleaned and dried the remaining fresh eggs together, then poured sesame paste, five-spice powder, soy sauce, white wine, water, and red mud into the wooden plate, stirred evenly, and put the eggs one by one into the wooden plate. Wrap it in a layer of salt and put it in a clay pot. After twenty days, it will be marinated and flavorful, and then it can be steamed and eaten.
The pigs that had just been ordered to be cleaned have also been cleaned. Su Lele cooked a large pot of pigs in the water for two pairs of pigs. After it was cooked, she ordered her servants to send some to Su's house. Her grandfather had already shouted in her ear several times that she would let him eat to his heart's content tonight. I also give some tea eggs to my family to try.
"Steward, please give these ten tea eggs to the prince to taste, and remind him not to eat too much. It is best to eat two eggs a day, otherwise he will easily accumulate food if he eats too much."
Su Lele had already thought about it. It was too shabby to give only two eggs. If he gave more eggs, he could reward them to his subordinates. As for the pig offal, I didn't plan to give it to him. After all, it was some pig offal, and I was afraid it would lose his noble status.
"Butler, here are a few eggs and a bowl of pig's water. If you don't mind, you can try it." After all, she has to live in the palace for two years, and it is in her interest to be friends with the butler. She still understands the ways of the world.
"Don't dislike it. The princess's reward is the slave's blessing." Although he is a pig, the butler's nose is still very good. There is only the smell of braised food, not any odor, and the princess is already better off with this one, so what is he afraid of? Even if it doesn't taste good, he still wants to reward it.
Yijing Court Dining Room
Leng Yichen had a poor appetite tonight and only tasted a small bite of each dish. Unlike Leng Yunmo, he has a big appetite and everything he eats tastes good.
At this time, the housekeeper came to report: "Your Majesty, the princess has boiled some tea eggs and asked me to bring them to you to try. She also told you not to eat too many eggs every day as they are easy to accumulate. It is best to eat two eggs a day."
"Hey, how come the aroma of tea and marinade comes from this egg?" Leng Yunmo said as he took one and peeled it.
"General Leng, these are tea eggs. The princess cooked them with tea leaves and marinated ingredients. I just tasted one. It was delicious. The princess also gave me a bowl of braised pig meat. I guess the taste will be the same."
The housekeeper didn't expect the princess to be such a superb cook. No wonder she cooked the food herself last night and couldn't wait to taste the bowl of braised pig sesame.
A low and cold voice sounded: "Bring me that bowl of braised pig sesame for a taste."
It turns out she did other things.
