Chapter 15 This is glutinous rice cake!
In Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shilong was criticizing memorials with his ministers.
Even though they had already worn a lot of clothes and had a blanket given by His Majesty to cover their bodies, they still felt cold.
In December, there is no place that is not cold.
Li Shilong was also cold, and he had long wanted to build a warm room.
But the national treasury is empty and he is helpless.
The hardest days are coming.
He was born as a military general, but those who reviewed memorials were all literati.
Sitting down at this moment, my body trembled constantly.
He sighed secretly, and was about to have someone make tea for them. A few eunuchs ran over quickly, "Your Majesty, the Queen's breakfast snack specially sent by someone!"
"Oh, come on!"
Li Shilong ate it early. At this moment, he had already consumed the little food in his stomach.
Gao Shilin took the glutinous rice cake, opened the lid, and steamed in it, filled with small round black balls.
“What kind of snack is this?”
Li Shilong asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, this is glutinous rice cake, which was made by Qin Han... the prince-in-law himself!"
"Made it by Qin Hanzi?"
Li Shilong was stunned and said incredible: "Well, can you make snacks?"
The eunuch who was delivering the food said respectfully: "This is the filial breakfast made by Qin's prince-master Duwei for the Empress. The Empress and the princesses all praised it!"
Li Shilong became interested, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the soft glutinous rice cake and put it into his mouth.
Sweet and soft, it feels comfortable all over with one mouthful.
"tasty!"
Li Shilong sent it to his mouth one by one, and ate it seven or eight times before stopping, "Yes, this glutinous rice cake tastes really good, what are the remaining glutinous rice cakes?"
"The Empress said that it was hard for the adults to review the memorials, so she specially asked the slaves to send them to you all to try them out!"
"Wuji, Liang Aiqing, Jingming, you all stop and try the glutinous rice cakes made by Qin Hanzi!"
Gongsun Wuji picked up one in surprise and immediately narrowed his eyes.
Liang Zheng hates Qin Mo very much now, but because of His Majesty, he had to eat it. "Just just have a snack, just put the rest!"
But when he put the first bite into his mouth, the fragrance of rice, sesame fragrance, and the sweetness of frosted sugar in his mouth were endless.
Du Jingming also picked up one with great interest. After tasting one, he couldn't help but say, "This Qin Hanzi is not only talented, but unexpectedly, he can also make snacks!"
"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen and doesn't work hard on calculating. What's the use of making snacks any better?" Liang Zheng snorted.
Li Shilong ignored them and ate the glutinous rice cake in front of him. His body, which was originally trembling with cold, warmed up.
"What is Qin Mo doing now?"
"Report to Your Majesty, the Duke of Qin is still in the imperial kitchen. He said that the glutinous rice cake is just a dessert before the meal. He wants to prepare a delicacy for the Empress!"
Li Shilong immediately became interested. Glutinous rice cake was enough to be surprised. How delicious is the real food?
He stood up and said to the others: "It's hard for all my dear friends to correct memorials. The weather is very cold. Let me go with me and drive away the cold. Let's see what Qin Hanzi is doing!"
......
At the same time, in the imperial kitchen.
Everyone looked at the plates of loaded vegetables and meat, and they were a little confused.
Qin Mo said a little disgusted: "Apart from carrots, they are cabbage. Can you have more new tricks?"
Li Yue almost vomited blood, "Hanzi, this is cold and the ground is frozen, and only carrots and cabbage can survive. It's because there are hot springs in the palace, so these vegetables can grow next to each other. It's no problem to buy two or three taels outside!"
Damn, so expensive?
If you build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, wouldn’t it be profitable?
"Tsk, look at your promising prospects. Isn't it just a cabbage? Give me some time to let you vomit!"
Qin Mo glanced at him with contempt, then used various seasonings to make the base.
Unfortunately, the big dried chicken has no chili, but it has dogwood. Although it is almost done, it can barely be used.
As a result, the Dazhou version of hot pot came out.
"No double-double pot, bad reviews!"
Qin Mo sighed and found a small pot to hold it.
I brought the table again and watched the soup rolling in the boiler, and the rich aroma emanated from it.
Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Qin Hanzi, what is this called?"
"This is called hot pot, rustic!"
Qin Mo did not feel embarrassed with Li Yue at all, and then he curled a bowl of secret sauce for Queen Gongsun. "My mother-in-law, I will pick it up after a while when the food is cooked and dipped it in a little secret sauce, so I can guarantee that you can swallow your tongue!"
Empress Gongsun took the dishes and chopsticks, "What's next?"
"Put the vegetables you want to eat into the hot pot, cook them and pick them up. It's absolutely delicious!"
Qin Mo couldn't wait to sit down. The birds were almost fading out of his mouth in the past two days.
Throw the sliced meat in, put some vegetables, the boiling hot pot was bubbling, and the people around him were almost leaving behind when they smelled it.
"My mother-in-law, this mutton roll is cooked. Unfortunately, there is no fat beef or pork belly, otherwise it would be a pleasure to wrap it in the sauce!"
He quickly picked up chopsticks for Queen Gongsun, "Don't be polite!"
Empress Gongsun picked up the chopsticks, imitated Qin Mo, soaked the mutton roll in the sauce, and then put it into her mouth.
At that moment, she narrowed her eyes.
Everyone around them stretched their necks.
Li Yushu only felt saliva from his mouth and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
"It's delicious, I've never eaten such delicious food!"
Wow!
Everyone was stunned.
Qin Mo raised his head, "Did you hear it? My mother-in-law said it's delicious. Are you a rustic guy? Do you agree?"
The prince looked cold, "Qin Hanzi, pay attention to your words!"
Li Zhi, "Qin Hanzi, I didn't even eat it, how can I know if it suits my appetite?"
"That's right, you can make us a sauce. You'll know if it's delicious!"
"Go to you, haven't you seen me serving my mother-in-law? You want to eat your own juice!"
The arrogant face made them clench their fists.
This Qin Hanzi is so annoying!
"Hanzi, I'm your friend, please adjust it for me!" Li Yue said with a gaze.
"For your help, I will give you a little bit!"
Qin Mo poured the sauce from the bowl directly into Li Yue's bowl, and there was only Qianqian's bottom.
"Qin Hanzi, you are so indifferent!"
"Don't pay me back!"
Li Yue quickly took three steps back, took out the mutton roll from the boiling pot, wrapped it in sauce, and put it into his mouth.
At that moment, all kinds of flavors exploded in my mouth, "Mom, this is so delicious!"
It was just this sentence that the princess and princess who were originally stubborn could not bear it anymore and begged Emperor Gongsun, "Mother, please let Hanzi make the sauce for us!"
