Chapter 140 Illness(2/2)
Kangxi stood up, nodded to Concubine Yi, and then looked at Shu Shu again.
Shu Shu lowered his head, looking extremely well-behaved and honest.
When Kangxi went out, Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and raised her head.
The Queen Mother was still smiling, but her expression was a bit startled.
Concubine Yi sat on the small stool in front of the couch and said with a smile: "My queen, I'm here to take advantage of you..."
"oh?"
The Queen Mother was surprised: "I don't have the energy to play cards with you today, why don't you invite those little concubines to play with you..."
"Ha ha……"
Concubine Yi covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't want to scatter wealth... Follow them to draw cards. If you win, you won't be disappointed. If you lose, you will feel sad. Let's forget it... This is the child who was ordered by the emperor to look after Shi'a.
Brother and Thirteenth Brother, the two younger brothers...we were worried before and had already prepared some snacks, but now I guess they have nothing to worry about..."
"Oh, let's do it when we run out of food. Children have to be coaxed with snacks to obey. Otherwise, the little boy will become naughty. I don't know..."
The Queen Mother was soft-hearted, thinking of Shu Shu's difficulties, and called her over: "Good child, don't be embarrassed. Grandma has a lot of food here. Go over and see what's useful and use it..."
Although there was only one large dining room in the palace, in fact, both Kangxi and the Queen Mother had dedicated kitchen masters and a dedicated food store.
Shu Shu's face showed gratitude: "Fortunately, the emperor's grandmother is here. Just now, the two elder brothers were not moving their chopsticks at the dining table. My granddaughter-in-law was worried to death..."
The Queen Mother showed worry: "It's the time when you are growing, so what if you don't eat well?"
Although she did not hide her partiality for her fifth elder brother, she did not lose her love for her other grandchildren.
"Go quickly, go quickly and find some food for them..."
The Queen Mother was already urging her, and told a nanny next to her: "Take Jiu Fujin with you, and also watch Fujin, and stay away from the stove..."
Shu Shu followed her grandma out.
The old mama's face showed worry, and she whispered: "I ate two pieces of cake in the morning and one piece at noon... When the food was served in the evening, I only ate two chopsticks..."
Shu Shu felt a little unsure in her heart.
If it's just motion sickness that makes you lose your appetite, it's easier to deal with.
Make some sour food to stimulate your appetite.
But this is a heart disease...
Heart disease also needs a heart medicine doctor.
What about hometown delicacies?
What are the traditional foods in Horqin?
Buckwheat noodles?
Fried rice?
But that tradition is what modern people say.
In later generations, Horqin had been cultivating wasteland for many years and paid equal attention to farming and animal husbandry.
Today, Horqin should still be a purely pastoral area.
Yogurt, beef jerky?
The Queen Mother already had it.
Shu Shu thought about it and followed her mother to bring a tent some distance away from the Queen Mother's sleeping tent.
There were four stoves set up inside, and there were two master chefs and two aunties on the stoves, as well as several little eunuchs who were lighting the fires.
Seeing the noble man coming, everyone stood up to greet him.
The safest thing is "Mongolian pie", which is a grassland food that has been around for a long time.
Nowadays, the common way to eat it in Beijing has been improved. The buckwheat noodles have been replaced with white noodles, and the dry-cooked noodles have been changed to fried with soybeans or beef.
The improved pie is fragrant and crispy, but it is not suitable for the current Queen Mother.
The ingredients are all ready-made, including soba noodles for the pie crust and lamb for the filling. The vegetables inside are not fresh cabbage or celery, but pickled pickles, blanched to remove the salt, and then minced to prepare the filling.
, except for onions and ginger, no other seasonings are added.
The production method is also the most primitive dry roasting and water cooking.
In addition to the pie, it is a pickle soup, which contains salted celery paste and ground beef jerky.
There is also a steamed fruit dish, the ingredients used are the sand fruits brought from Karaqin yesterday.
Just add water and steam for two quarters of an hour.
The skin and seeds of the fruit were not removed.
Because there were several baskets of fruits in the dining room here, and Concubine Yi had just said that, Shu Shu commandeered a basket of fruits without ceremony.
Then steamed eight bowls.
The Queen Mother, the Ninth Elder Brother, the Tenth Elder Brother, the Thirteenth Elder Brother, Wu Fu Jin and Qi Fu Jin, Yi Fei, and Shu Shu.
This is Shu Shu's habit, and he always has his own share.
Mothers who eat fish heads may not necessarily raise filial children.
More often than not, I only move myself.
