Vol 5 Chapter 43: It's easy to buy people's hearts

The palm of the hand was very light, and the fragrant food filled the table lively.
Tonight, Yun Xi hosted a banquet for the young masters of the palaces. The ingredients are not luxurious, but fresh.
Roasted pork tenderloin with ginkgo, fried prawns with hibiscus, lion head wrapped scallops, grilled fish sticks with pine nuts, Bazhen chicken, fried duck breast with pearl, sesame oil spicy eel, ten-flavored hot pot simmered deer tendon, white mushroom with milk sauce, sour bamboo shoots green vegetable Heart, cured leg mutton fish soup.
The table is full of ingredients, except for a deer tendon, nothing else is precious.
However, Yunxi is very good at matching dishes in the selection of dishes. He is stunned by matching the simple red, white, yellow, green, and black colors to create a colorful sense of sight, and he can compete with the royal food for grace and nobleness.
The imperial concubines looked a little dumbfounded, they never believed that the slender and slender woman beside her could really handle the heavy kitchen knife and the heavy and crude wok.
But just now, isn't she the same person who holds the Princess Jingle in the imperial garden?
"Hey, why are you sitting? Move your chopsticks!"
Yun Xi smiled and looked at the dumbfounded group, and took the lead:
"Zhiqi, respect ‘milk honey’ to all empresses."
Zhang Xuanshi looked at the semi-white turbid liquid in the glass, smelled it, and stretched his raised brows, drank happily.
"Well, it's delicious, my concubine just noticed the color of this wine, and thought it was the rice wine often drunk in the south!"
Yun Xi Nuzui smiled and said:
"My sister can still use rice wine to coax you to say it's'milk honey'? This kind of wine needs to be boiled with horses, cardamom and cinnamon, and let cool the whipped protein liquid and wattle nectar, and finally add two cups. Brewed with a knife.
Even though the production process is the most time-consuming, the period of preservation is not long. It's best to prepare and drink. You guys just made it yesterday. "
Ying Bi asked about the cup:
"Do I have to use wattle honey?"
Yunxi stroked the Hetian white jade and Luotianbao gourd upside down earrings that rang in his ears, and answered with a smile:
"No. Sophora japonica, jujube flowers, and honey can be steamed, but wattle is rare. Thousands of flowers are steamed on the urn, and only a small cup is steamed. Together with wild honey from the mountains. The most important thing is to clear blood and cool down, specializing in the heat toxin of burning knives."
Ying Bin has benefited a lot, with her palms together, she admires:
"Amitabha, it turns out that it's easy to cook three meals a day, but it's difficult to make fine. If you want to come to this way of eating, mutual growth and mutual restraint are also a science."
Yunxi's mouth-cooked food was delivered to the mouth, slowly chewed and swallowed, and nodded:
"Exactly."
Jiamei is the heaviest figure in Suri, and when she sees the delicious delicacies on the table, she doesn't dare to eat too much, but she keeps on serving the fresh soup of bacon, mutton and fish.
I drank two small cups and praised:
"This white soup is really delicious. I don't know what to do with my sister, can I teach my sister?"
Yun Xi pursed his lips and smiled:
"Listen well, sister. Let's descale the whole fresh sea bass, fill the hollowed fish belly with shredded shreds, ginger, and green onion, and roll it in hot oil with water.
When it's boiling, put in slices of pork foreleg bacon that has been soaked for the whole night. Add water and put in the blanched sheep scorpion at the second boiling point.
There are three key points in this soup: First, the sea bass will only turn white when it is fried. Second, if you want to get rid of the mutton, you have to wrap three or five raw walnuts in a gauze cloth, and a handful of Yunnan specialty Pu'er tea, boil it with the soup. Third, the bacon must be the front leg of the pig, which is the most fat and lean.
When I was free, I wrote down this recipe and gave it to my sister. My sister told me to do the same in the small kitchen.
In this soup, the perch is cold in nature and the mutton is warm in nature. The cold and temperature are not compatible with the heat, no phlegm, and the bacon has a salty aroma. It is okay to drink more in spring. "
After hearing this, the Jiamei was delighted and said:
"Yes, yes, my sister knows the most, and my sister is grateful to my sister for her advice."
Zhao Jieyu had hatred in her eyes, filled with righteous indignation:
"My elder sister has a good heart and a good person. The Princess Jingle really deceived her today, and she was treated by her elder sister. But the elder sister must also be careful. The girl is used to being arrogant and domineering, I am afraid she will not give up."
"Yes."
"Sister, you must be defensive."
The concubines talked a lot.
Yunxi used violence to control violence in his early days, and relying on another meal, he successfully conquered these people.
Yunxi smiled faintly on his lips, taking the opportunity to ask:
"Then what is the origin of Jingle Princess? Why don't you look at you when you meet?"
Zhang Xuanshi held his cheeks and sighed:
"The girl's surname is Mu and her boudoir's name is Qianying. She was not originally considered to be from the palace, but was the daughter of Princess Xiao's cousin from afar.
When his father was an official in the Ministry of the Imperial Court, he was in charge of the construction of the Jingyun Dam a year ago. When the construction was completed, the Emperor of Japan and the Toffee would rarely encounter mob assassination.
His father blocked a sword for the concubine and was unable to save it, so his daughter took up the reputation of being an and was brought up by the concubine herself.
That is, after relying on being a hero, the toffee became accustomed to it, and the princess Su Ri Li acted quite publicly. Others can't have things she likes, and others don't dare to ask for things she doesn't like. "
Yunxi swallowed his wine and turned his eyes:
"How can children be raised like this? Since they were young, they have no idea of ​​right and wrong, and they will inevitably grow up to be blamed."
Zhang Xuanshi shrugged:
"People can be regarded as the daughter of the concubine, the emperor's imperial sister does not worry about marrying!"
"Leave her alone, let's drink and eat food, and have a good time tonight," Yunxi waved to take care of everyone:
"I don’t have a lot of skills in this palace. I like to cook and make snacks on weekdays. I don’t know how to be pretentious. I am convinced of the word
reason
in everything. If the sisters cast their tempers, they will go to Jingyang Palace more in the future. Yes."
Shu Bi put down his chopsticks, then asked:
"Sister, that day, the concubine Liang was banned, and the people in the palace spread the word. They really have nothing to run into your palace to fight for the treasures that the emperor has given to sister?"
Yunxi's jade-white fingertips picked Ropa and dipped it into the corner of his mouth, smiling bitterly:
"I also blame my palace for being slow and ignorant of the rules of the harem. I thought the older sisters were joking, but I was so anxious to make trouble.
But by coincidence, Long Live Lord came to the palace and couldn't understand the messy scene, and fined a few people on the spot. Hey, I think it's in Jingyang Palace, this palace can't escape the blame, thinking about it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I can't help them. "
As he spoke, Yunxi's eyes fluttered with water, wiping his eyes and face.
The imperial concubines rushed to persuade them:
"Oh, sister, you are the victim, why are you crying for them?"
"That's right, that was rewarded by the emperor. They are still fighting for it. How shameless they are!"
"My elder sister is not afraid. If something happens in the future, the younger sisters will be the head of the horse and will do their best for the sister."
"Yes, so is my concubine."
Yunxi broke his tears into a smile, and ordered the maidservant to pour wine for everyone, and got up to toast:
"As the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home, and friends when you go out. Now in this palace, this palace depends on your sisters for everything. If everyone does not give up, we will drink this wine together, and we will stay in the same boat in the future, even if our destiny is in the same place."
A few people did not hesitate, drank a cup, and took their seats.
After three rounds of wine, Yun Xi tilted his head and winked at Zhiqi.
Knowing the chess, he brought a few servants to the apse to take out some exquisite jewelry and play pieces.
Yunxi smiles like a flower:
"Sisters, I just said that I don't have much hobbies in my life, so I like to cook and make snacks. These are gifts from the emperor, and I don't need too much by myself.
Today I have a fate with you, and I didn't take my sisters as outsiders. My palace is willing to share these treasures with you. But let’s say it’s OK, you’ll only take one. "
Zhang Xuanshi was dazzled by the dazzling jewellery, holding Yunxi's arm and swaying:
"Good sister, these jewelry are so good-looking, you really want to give it to us?"
Yun Xi trimmed her clothes and looked lovingly:
"Naturally, my sister remembers that if my sister says that I like you, I really like it. My sister said that I don’t need you to fight for something, so naturally everyone has a share. I don’t want to give it. The ending is just like today’s Jingle County Lord Seizing. The end of the game is the same, nothing can be taken away."
Seeing all the concubines happily choosing their favorite jewels, Yun Xi smiled and secretly said:
One meal and one hairpin is nothing more than a small grace and a small benefit. The way to survive in the harem is nothing more than to win over the hearts of the people, but it is so simple.

Princess Jingle ran into Ci Ning Palace with a disheveled hair, entered the hall, and started crying and howling:
"Old ancestor, you have to be the master for Yinger, Yinger was wronged by heaven today, wow-"
"Oh, my dear, what's wrong with you?"
Princess Xiao was meeting guests in the main hall, her head was brightly colored and her face was meticulously made up and greasy. It also has to be carefully maintained, so there is no trace of time rubbing on the corners of the eyes and brows.
The toffee was shocked when she heard the movement, and anxiously put the carved pure gold hookah in her hand, and hugged the swollen face and crying Jingle.
The ancestors today wear black satin uterine dresses. The soft silk material is embroidered with bergamot flowers in several colors such as dark green, bird green, dan red, moon white and soft purple. The outer cover is high-shoulder brown. Drag the floor without sleeves.
The raised neckline, shoulders, and lapels are all rounded with high-quality Dongzhu, and there are dense golden peony flowers everywhere.
Its exquisite workmanship requires fifty embroiders to embroider for two years before obtaining it.
"Jingle, tell Aijia, what's wrong with you?"
Jingle's black and teary hands smeared her face, and her crying red eyes looked at the woman with a worried expression, sobbed:
"Old ancestors, someone knowing that Jingle is by your side, wants to shoot Jingle's face. This is clearly beating you!"
"Who dares to be so bold, Ying'er tell this king quickly!"
Suddenly, there was a deep and enchanting question next to Princess Xiao. :,,
