Chapter 584 Dumplings and Fruits The Emperor and Empress Are Delighted
Seeing her youngest son turning around to leave, Queen Luan Xiying couldn't wait to stop him: "Yu'er, stop!
You...if you want to leave, go ahead, but you have to leave the big food box in your hand behind!"
Now, in the eyes of Queen Luan Xiying, her son is no longer important, only that big food box is important!
The palace maids and eunuchs standing in the hall couldn't help but lower their heads to hold back their laughter when they saw that the Queen was so anxious to the point of losing her composure for the large food box in Prince Yu's hand.
Even Emperor Hongde couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his queen chasing after the big food box in her son's hand.
I thought to myself: Even though I know my son is just teasing them, my Ah Ying is still so anxious, it shows how much she is looking forward to the delicious food in the big food box.
Today's big food box is big enough, with six layers above and below, almost half a person's height, and very heavy.
Xiao Jingyu naturally would not let his mother trouble herself with carrying the large food box. He reached out to stop his mother, carried the large food box into the hall, and placed it on the stone drum stool beside him.
Queen Luan Xiying followed closely beside her son. When she saw him put the big food box down, she reached out and opened the lid of the food box.
Emperor Hong De also put down his teacup and came over.
The moment the lid of the big food box was opened, Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying were stunned.
Even if they didn't cook, they could tell that what was in front of them... was probably still raw.
I saw that the first layer of this big food box was neatly arranged in rows and columns with many small, white, and plump things...
It looks like it's made of noodles.
"what is this?"
The emperor and empress raised their heads, looked at Xiao Jingyu in confusion, and asked at the same time.
Xiao Jingyu smiled and did not answer. He reached out and picked up the first layer and placed it on the table next to him.
The layer below contains the same items, just in slightly different shapes.
Open another layer... there are also neatly arranged small doughs, but in the middle there is a small porcelain jar with a lid.
Queen Luan Xiying took out the small porcelain jar.
The moment you open the lid, an enticing aroma rushes out and hits your nose.
Looking inside, the jar was filled with dark brown liquid with some oil floating on top...
It smells delicious.
“Is this something to drink?”
Queen Luan Xiying asked with a frown.
“This is not for drinking.
This is the dipping sauce we’ll use when eating dumplings later.”
"dumpling?"
The Empress Dowager and Emperor Hongde looked at each other. What are dumplings?
never heard of that.
Xiao Jingyu smiled and pointed at the neatly stacked items in the big food box, saying, "This is called dumplings.
The outer skin is made of flour, and various fillings are wrapped inside the flour. You will know when Father and Mother taste it soon!
The dumplings are still raw now and need to be cooked before they can be eaten.
However, Yue'er said that if the food was cooked and then brought back to the palace, it would not only get cold, but the taste and texture would also be bad.
That's why I asked you to bring it back raw. It's better to cook it and eat it while it's hot!"
"Oh, I see!
Yue Er is really thoughtful! "
The Queen smiled and nodded.
Xiao Jingyu turned around and called Madam Feng who was beside the queen, and carefully reminded her: "Madam Feng, remember, this food is called dumplings.
You take the dumplings to the kitchenette and have them cook them.
You must remember: use a large pot with plenty of water to cook dumplings, to ensure that the dumplings float after being cooked.
After the water boils, put the dumplings into the pot;
After putting the dumplings into the pot, use a spoon to gently push them around. Do not let the dumplings stick to each other or sink to the bottom of the pot.
When the water boils again, add a small bowl of cold water;
Open it again and pour cold water on it.
When it boils for the third time, the dumplings are cooked. You can use a colander to scoop the dumplings into a plate and serve them on the table as soon as possible.
do you understand? "
Nanny Feng listened carefully and remembered every word.
When she heard Prince Yu ask, she quickly replied, "Yes, I heard it clearly and I have written it down.
Oh, I will go to the small kitchen and watch over it myself."
"Okay, go ahead!"
Xiao Jingyu nodded.
Nanny Feng called over a few palace maids, who each carried a plate of dumplings and followed Nanny Feng to the small kitchen.
Here, when Queen Luan Xiying looked at the bottom layer of the food box, she exclaimed in joy: "My little Yue'er is so cute!
Brought me cherries and...Oh, I remember, this is called strawberry!
These are my favorite foods!
Queen Luan Xiying reached out and picked up two strawberries, ate one and handed the other to Emperor Hong De.
Emperor Hong De took it and ate it with a smile on his face.
"Mmm... so fragrant! So sweet!"
Queen Luan Xiying narrowed her eyes in great enjoyment.
Xiao Jingyu walked over and sat down on a chair nearby, then took a sip of the tea brought to him by the head palace maid Shu Xiu.
"Father, Mother, please eat the fresh fruit after dinner. Eating on an empty stomach may make you feel uncomfortable."
The Queen waved her hand nonchalantly, "I know, I know!
I will only eat two, and continue eating after dinner."
He said he was going to eat two, but in the end... uh... he actually ate two two... four!
It was Emperor Hongde who stopped her and pulled Queen Luan Xiying back to sit on the chair before he gave up.
He sat on the chair, but his eyes were still lingeringly looking at the two plates of juicy fruits...
