On the way back, Su Lele ate a crisp green plum and said: "Xiao Xiang, tomorrow you can take a few more people to drive a carriage to Zhangjiacun to purchase the green plums. The purchased green plums will be brought to Su Mansion Zhuangzi. I will arrange for people to go to Zhuangzi to make crisp green plums. .”
"The peanuts purchased will be brought back to the palace."
Su Lele planned to have her servants make crispy green plums on Zhuangzi in the future. Considering that she would make peanut snacks in the palace later, she was afraid that there would not be enough space in Yanyu Pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiang: "Okay, Princess."
It was already afternoon when we returned to the capital. Considering that no one had lunch, Su Xiaozhi was ordered to drive a carriage to Yipinju Restaurant for dinner.
Seeing the people coming and going at Yipinju Restaurant, Su Lele was also surprised. It seemed that those eight dishes brought a lot of business to the restaurant. There were so many people at this time.
It seems that the prince has earned back the money he spent to buy her recipes in no time.
After a few people had a simple and quick meal, Su Lele asked Su Xiaozhi and Su Xiaoxiang to drive the carriage back to the palace first. She went shopping with her maid Qiu Yu.
I bought two sets of dresses and a box of rouge and gouache. I lost 50 taels all of a sudden, and Su Lele felt a little bit sick.
Su Lele, who felt sorry for the money bag, took Qiu Yu and quickly left this place that specialized in making money from women.
When he came to the grocery store, Su Lele bought a bag of peanuts and melon seeds, and then moved to the teahouse where he listened to storytelling.
Su Lele, who has given herself a proper holiday, plans to eat melon seeds, eat peanuts, and drink tea while listening to storytelling. Wouldn't it be wonderful!
Mr. Pingshu said it very vividly and uniquely, but the melon seeds and peanuts have no taste no matter how you eat them. The melon seeds were probably simply fried, and the peanuts were not crispy at all and tasteless, so they were probably boiled directly.
Su Lele didn't believe that this was the only flavor. She didn't even finish listening to the story, so she hurriedly dragged her maid Qiu Yu to the places selling melon seeds and peanuts in the four major cities.
Tasting is not popular in any store, so Su Lele had no choice but to buy many packages of melon seeds and peanuts.
After returning to the Yanyu Pavilion of the Palace, Su Lele tasted each package of melon seeds and peanuts, and concluded that melon seeds only have original flavor, while peanuts have original and salty flavors, but they are all boiled and not crispy.
Su Lele has plans in mind to develop multi-flavored shelled peanuts, multi-flavored peanuts without shells, and weird-flavored peanuts.
Melon seeds with multiple flavors will probably be developed later. So far, we have not seen any farmers planting sunflowers on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Qiu Yu, share these melon seeds and peanuts with the servants in the house for their enjoyment."
"Okay, miss." She was used to eating the snacks made by the miss, and now she couldn't stand the tasteless melon seeds and peanuts.
Qiu Yu is not the only one who thinks so. Since the servants in the palace ate the snacks made by the princess, they did not like the snacks sold in the shops outside. If they had some spare money, they would not go out to buy food. They would just buy pork jerky and crispy green plums in the palace. .
The princess also said that servants in the palace can get a 20% discount on snacks from her, which is a lot cheaper.
Su Lele went back to her room and tried on two sets of dresses, which were just right. When the housekeeper came to report, she had not yet changed out of the light green phoenix skirt she was wearing.
"Princess, the prince invites you to visit Yijing Pavilion."
"Okay." Su Lele didn't plan to change into this new dress, it was too much trouble.
Yijing Court Pavilion
Leng Yichen saw Su Lele in a light green dress from a distance. She had a small oval face, dark eyes, and flushed cheeks. There was a youthful and lively atmosphere around her, her face was crystal clear, and her skin color was like snow. , very bright and beautiful.
At this moment, the girl in front of him was still smiling at him, and her smile was very charming.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the recipes I wrote?"
Leng Yichen calmed down and said, "Well, the housekeeper will settle the money for you later."
This straight man made Su Lele dumbfounded.
"What do you want from me, Your Majesty?"
"The cook doesn't have potatoes, but does Su Mansion still have them?"
"Tomorrow I will ask my servants to go back to the Su Mansion and ask. I left some for home cooking before, but not all of it was used to make potato chips." Leng Yichen didn't mention this, and she had forgotten that there were no potatoes sold in the capital. .
"I heard that you went to the countryside today." Leng Yichen took a sip of tea.
"Well, I went to buy green plums and some peanuts, planning to use them to make new snacks."
"If you don't have enough manpower, you can always ask for a housekeeper."
Su Lele looked at the handsome prince opposite, whose voice was still cold and low, but his words made people feel warmer.
Su Lele said with a smile on her face: "Okay, then I'm welcome!"
"Ten days from now it will be the birthday of the Duke of Lao Zhen. You will go with me to celebrate his birthday."
"Okay, Your Majesty."
It seems that a congratulatory gift needs to be prepared. Old Zhenguo Gong is not only her grandfather's good friend, but also his good friend's grandfather.
"The dumplings are cooked in the big dining room, let's stay and eat them together."
Su Lele's eyes lit up: "Okay, I haven't eaten for several days, what kind of stuffing did I cook?"
"It has the same fillings as last time."
"Then I want to eat enough tonight."
The two chatted very harmoniously.
This scene shocked Leng Feng and Leng Yu. They had never seen their master say so many words to a young woman, except for the princess.
The two of them slowly ate steaming dumplings under the moonlight of the lotus pond. Su Lele felt very comfortable at this moment.
In the afternoon of the second day, Su Xiaoxiang brought back 300 kilograms of peanuts from Zhangjiacun, 200 kilograms of which had been dried, and 100 kilograms of which had been freshly pulled from the ground.
"You shell the dried peanuts." Su Lele plans to use the peanuts to make strange-flavored peanuts, five-flavored peanuts, spicy-flavored peanuts, and pepper-flavored peanuts.
The fresh peanuts are intended to be used to make salty crispy peanuts, garlic peanuts, and milky peanuts.
Roasting peanuts requires an oven. At present, ovens are mostly used for making pork breasts. It seems that we need to build several larger ovens.
"Xiao Zhi, find a craftsman to make several large ovens at Chenxiang Pavilion."
"Okay, Princess."
There is strength in numbers, and after an hour, everyone had already peeled baskets of peanuts. Su Lele has also prepared five spice powder, chili powder, flour, and eggs.
I plan to make baskets of strange-flavored peanuts to try first.
Su Lele pour allspice powder, chili powder, salt and sugar into the flour and stir evenly. Then he took a large bowl, put more than 30 eggs into the bowl, and beat the eggs.
Instruct the servants to pour the peanuts into the egg liquid, then scoop out the peanuts from the egg liquid and pour them into the plate with flour, and stir evenly.
Then repeat the steps just now, so that the peanuts are evenly coated with egg liquid and flour.
Then Su Lele put cold oil into the large pot and poured in the peanuts. Then he asked the maid to light the fire and fry them over low heat until the peanuts floated. Su Lele immediately stirred them with a spoon to make them evenly colored.
After a while, fry until every bit is golden brown and it's ready to be taken out of the pan.
