After hearing this, the Empress Dowager glared at Li Gonggong, who was so scared that he said: "as the saying goes, rare talent is the most important thing, isn't it, Empress Dowager..."

Looking at Li Gonggong's glib and flattery, the Empress Dowager gave him a helpless look.

Li Gonggong, who had already figured out the Empress Dowager's various habits and psychology, saw that the Empress Dowager was going to let him go. He said a couple of good words in a hurry and then disappeared.

Ergenzi is quiet again, and the Empress Dowager stares at Shen Qing and Mo Huan making cakes for her.

Before long, Bai Jin also brought all the things they needed.

This time, the Empress Dowager can see that the last time huan'er made a cake, it was actually the last few steps.

And whether it tastes good or not depends entirely on the efforts ahead.

Shen Qing's left arm was injured. After a while, she felt that she couldn't bear it.

Mixing work to Mo Huan, Xiaocui has been learning carefully beside, for fear of missing any link.

"Xiaocui, make a fire first and heat up the big pot." Shen Qing looks at Xiaocui, who is serious and studious, and orders her.

Since she wants to learn, let's learn. She is the Empress Dowager's maid. It is estimated that she can do it for the empress dowager, and no one else dares to use her.

Mo Huan wondered: "Xiaoqing, this has not been installed, how can you..."

He clearly remembers that he should put all the dough into the bamboo tube first, then put it into the big pot and bake it over a regenerative fire.

But now, this side is not ready!

Shen Qing glanced at him and said: this guy, I told him before, he must not be nice!

"You put the bamboo tube on the plate." Shen Qing is too lazy to explain to him. It's very hot on this hot day, and now it's on fire nearby!

Mo Huan busy according to the requirements of Shen Qing do, but see Shen Qing installed ten or so will not install.

"That's it?" Mo Huan looked at the remaining faces and asked.

If you only do these, why do you make such a big basin?

Shen Qing, however, laughs unkindly and asks Xiaocui to bring over some unripe oranges in the corner of the kitchen.

"County master, this It's not ripe yet. It's sour. " Xiaocui hesitates for a moment, and still gives it to Shen Qing, but at the same time explains it to her.

She is afraid that she does not know, and then misuse, it must acid teeth ah!

This time, the kitchen manager went out to buy some oranges. He saw that some of them wanted to be bought to the Empress Dowager for a taste, but he didn't want to pick them early. They were just not ripe and sour!

Fortunately, a cook was greedy at that time, otherwise she would give it to the Empress Dowager directly, and the Empress Dowager would have to be angry!

Shen Qing took over the so-called unripe orange. At this moment, these people! It's a lemon, isn't it!

It's not sour! However, it can't be blamed on them. Now those who sell fruits mainly rely on picking wild fruits to sell, and few of them grow their own.

The main reason is that the growth period is too long, which is unrealistic for those makers who depend on the weather.

So in this era, fruit is very difficult to see, see, is also very expensive.

It's something that can only be enjoyed by the royal family.

Shen Qing didn't explain too much. She pressed the whole lemon hard on the table and kneaded it, just like kneading a dough. Even the Empress Dowager was confused: How did Qing girl compare with a fruit?

She's making the cake, isn't she? Why don't you make those noodles? She remembers that huan'er did it last time, but she didn't do it.

Shen Qing's action attracted all eyes, even those palace women looked fresh.

The lemon softened after being rubbed for a while.

There is no way. The tools of this era are too incomplete. There is no juicer. We can only use this primitive and clumsy old method!

I saw Shen Qing cut the soft lemon into several pieces with a knife, and then squeezed each piece hard, squeezing the lemon juice that can sour teeth into the pastry.

After squeezing the lemon, pour some honey into the noodles and stir gently.

Mo Huan saw it as if it were wonderful. Before Xiao Qing made egg materials, he never had these steps!

"Xiaocui, help me get those bowls." Shen Qing says to Xiaocui again.

"Ah Little cuiba couldn't help more, but just after she agreed, she found out which bowls to take?

The bowl on this cupboard That's too much!

"County master..." Xiaocui's face is red. Shen county master finally asks herself to do something, but she doesn't know how to do it. She doesn't even know which bowl to take Shen Qing hears Xiaocui calling herself. Looking back, she finds that the cupboard is full of bowls of different sizes.

"The smallest one, bring them all." Shen Qing pointed to the smallest blue and white porcelain bowls on the side and said.

Xiaocui does whatever the county leader says. Anyway, she knows what the next step is.

Each of these steps is fresh and tight for her.

When Mo Huan saw the bowls, his eyes suddenly widened. He remembered!Yesterday afternoon, when they were eating noodles, Xiao Qing said she wanted to do Horse dung cake!

This smelly girl! Don't you really want to make horse dung cake for your grandmother? Let's just say it in private. If the emperor's grandmother knows Mo Huan's face darkens as she thinks about it. She stares at Shen Qing's action of filling a paper bowl with noodles. It's like that she's not using noodles to make cakes, but the animal's Can't think, can't think! Mo Huan quietly looked back at the Empress Dowager and saw that the Empress Dowager was still staring at this side.

This time, he must take good care of this whimsical girl, but he can't let her have any carelessness, let the unruly person take advantage of her.

Shen Qing does it seriously. This is her favorite lemon flavor in Muffin Cake in her previous life.

When she put all the dough into a small bowl, the big iron pot was already very hot.

There were no heat-insulating gloves, so Shen Qing carefully put the cake blanks into the big pot one by one with thick cloth.

There is no oven, so we have to take this one instead. Fortunately, this kind of brick stove can make the fire very strong. Although the big iron pot on the stove can not reach the temperature of modern oven, it is also better than none.

At this time, Shen Qing asks Xiaocui to light a nearby stove again. This time, what is burning on the fire is no longer a big iron pot, but The lid of the iron pot!

Just burn the lid of the pot?! Fortunately, the lid of the pot is also iron. If it's made of bamboo, it can't be burned.

Mo Huan looked even more strange. He did it several times since Shen Qing. It was in his courtyard of General Zhao's house and Prince Rui's house. He didn't see Shen Qing burning a big pot lid. How could it be different from before?

What's more, all the bamboo curtains used in the past were made of bamboo.
