Chapter 38: Medicinal Herbs in Vegetables
The next day.
Early in the morning, people from the inner government sent over the monthly routines that had been delayed for several months, and even a lot more, with a vague sense of flattery.
People in this palace have always used the wind to make things happen.
Qu Guiren's face is full of spring breeze.
Linlang, who showed off her orange color, also had a bright smile and was absolutely sincere and unadulterated.
"Congratulations, little master! Congratulations, little master!"
She congratulated everyone in Lianyue Palace.
"Get up."
Qu Guiren held up the hairpin on her temples, took out a piece of silver and put it into Linlang's hand along with a heavy purse, and said,
"You've done a great job. This hairpin is a reward for you. From now on, you will be a second-class palace maid. In addition, the emperor is coming over for dinner tonight, so hurry up and prepare some good meals."
"Thank you, little master! Don't worry, little master, I will take care of things properly." Linlang's money collection items are always slippery.
"By the way, little master, can I ask Hong Shi to help me and try to cook more dishes?"
Qu Guiren liked her intellectual and progressive nature very much, so he immediately agreed.
Linlang did not pick out the ingredients immediately, but chose a small half basket of loquats.
March is the first batch of ripe loquats. Now they are all round, plump and yellow, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
Hong Shi was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that this loquat fruit can also be used in food?"
"I'll make it later. You'll know if you try it." Linlang blinked and picked out some vegetables, meat and tofu... and saw some fresh small yellow croaker, so he took some as well.
Back in the kitchen, Linlang cleaned her hands and skillfully heated the pot to heat oil, while Hongshan had already tacitly helped her add firewood to the fire.
First, boil a pot of white porridge over an open fire and add one or two pieces of tangerine peel.
The yellow croaker was chopped into small pieces and marinated in sauce and wine, soaked in dried shrimps and scallops, and the chicken legs were stewed in soup. Then she started to process the pile of loquats, peeling them and removing the core, but not breaking the pulp.
Linlang worked very quickly, dividing the loquat into three parts, filling one part with diced sugared pork suet mixed with adzuki bean paste, and dotting the top with pine nuts, while the other part was filled with minced meat that had been seasoned in advance.
Separate the two portions and put them in the steamer over high heat.
The last portion was the largest, so she soaked it in cold water and set it aside.
"Sister in red shirt, help me watch the fire first, and I'll go out to get some things."
"good."
Seeing the red shirt, he nodded in agreement.
Linlang rushed out without even taking off her apron and collar.
Once raw, twice ripe.
This time she came to Tai Hospital smoothly.
The young man in green shirt was leaning on a wicker chair with his legs crossed in a slow posture, holding a page of medical book between his slender fingertips.
When he saw her coming in, his long, light eyebrows were raised slightly.
"why is it you again?"
"Ha, haha, what..." Linlang laughed awkwardly, but still said, "I want to grab some more medicine..."
"Do you think this Imperial Hospital was opened by your family?" Qiu Bai closed the medical book and sat up straighter. "Is there any palace maid like you who runs to Imperial Hospital every few days?"
His lecturing voice was obviously not very high-pitched.
But it still made people shrink inexplicably.
"I just want to make some food..." Linlang felt that it was necessary to show her identity card, otherwise the other party might think that she was going to kill a concubine with drugs.
She is a well-behaved person.
"You come to the hospital to get ingredients for cooking?" The young man glanced sideways at her.
"Medicals can also be used in food. They are medicinal foods." Linlang boldly replied.
I thought I would get a scolding from this handsome young doctor.
But Qiu Bai just stood up, and the jade green hairband hung down from his hair, making the thin part of his neck as white as porcelain.
"Medicals are used in dishes..."
