Chapter 999

"Lady, how can I eat like this?" Han Cui's eyes are red and she wants to cry again.

Xia Xiaoran immediately surrenders, this big palace maiden how to move to cry, "elder sister don't cry, I have come up with a way to cure the empress."

"What can I do?" Han Cui's tears stopped immediately, which made Xia Xiaoran marvel.

Xia Xiaoran's facial features wrinkled together and said in embarrassment: "it's a local prescription we have there. I can't explain it clearly. I'll explain it later."

Just heard that the Ming imperial concubine loves sweet food, Xia Xiaoran has a kind of feeling, but taking Hawthorn to treat anorexia, Xia Xiaoran is not sure.

Forget it, dead horse should live horse doctor. Xia Xiaoran thinks of the dignified Ning Feng. He has been in the palace for nearly three days. If he doesn't take out a little treatment, maybe the emperor who looks very wise and powerful will push himself out to the Meridian Gate and behead him.

"Then you're not going to make the medicine." With Cui Xia Xiaoran a lift up, eager to say.

"No medicine." Xia Xiaoran feels more and more like a charlatan, "let's have a diet."

"What is dietotherapy?" Han Cui follows Xia Xiaoran on the way to the imperial dining room and asks anxiously.

Xia Xiaoran thought for a while, and carefully organized the language, "it's to treat with food. Since the empress can't take the medicine, she should replace it with food with the same effect."

"Is the food OK?" With Cui slender eyebrows wrinkled together, "the food resistance of the empress is so serious that it seems that she can't even get off the food."

Glancing at hancui, Xia Xiaoran immediately turned into an old liar in the Jianghu, "it depends on the method of making, so I'll take you to the imperial dining room to make 'medicine' according to my method."

Facts have proved that it is wise for Xia Xiaoran to ask Han Cui for help. As soon as Han Cui entered the imperial dining room, he pulled out the round and rolling manager of the imperial dining room.

Da Zhang's head was pulled out of the stove by Han Cui and wiped the sweat on his face with a sweat towel. The two girls in front of him said, "my aunts and grandmothers, what are you going to do? Don't you see that I'm busy here?"

Then she turned around and left. Han Cui stepped forward and said with a cold face, "your work can be done by your disciples below, but if you delay the treatment of your mother, even ten heads are not enough."

Zhang's huge body, like a brown bear, was blocked by the petite Han Cui. He couldn't break through completely. He shrugged helplessly, "OK, what do you say?"

Xia Xiaoran stepped forward and asked, "Master Zhang, you are the manager of the imperial dining room. Do you know everything?"

"Of course." Big Zhang looked up and said with pride, "my position is not bought. I can't cook dishes from south to north, such as roast bear paw and roast dry duck."

"All right." Xia Xiaoran interrupts Da zhangtou, otherwise the other party can really say a single talk crosstalk, "can you make sweet potato with silk

"Pull what?" Immersed in his great achievements, Zhang's face was encircled, "what's that dish?"

Frustrated to hold his head, Xia Xiaoran sighed, "well, I know you won't, just do it according to my requirements."

Although Da zhangtou knew nothing about sweet potato, he had many years of cooking skills there, and made a small plate of hot Hawthorn in less than half an hour.

Bright red rolling away Hawthorn wrapped in a layer of crystal clear sugar, flashing attractive luster“ Is that really OK? " Said Han Cui, looking at the little things on the plate.

Xia Xiaoran took out a few pairs of chopsticks, poured a bowl of cold white, invited the two next to him, "OK, just taste it."

Chopsticks hold the rolling hawthorn, pull out a thin silver line, gently dip in the bowl, the silver line will break, put into the mouth, the first is the sugar layer on the hawthorn, not as greasy as white sugar, not as sour as rock sugar, is a kind of chewing sweet with fruit fragrance. Inside the hawthorn is wrapped in sugar, greatly reducing the sour taste, people can't help eating one after another.

"Hello." Xia Xiaoran squinted and looked at the big head, "just try it, don't eat one by one."

Not long ago, Zhang, who was still mocking Xia Xiaoran's unreliable cooking method, blushed, "this dish made by Ling Xue girl is really unique. I don't know what it's called?"

What is called? Xia Xiaoran looks at the only Hawthorn left on the plate. The transparent sugar on it reflects a dazzling light.

"Ice sugar gourd." Xia Xiaoran for the first time found that he was a waste of name, thought for a long time, could not think of a better name than the original name.

"Ice sugar gourd." Big Zhang tou has completely lost his mind. "It's a good name. In the future, he can make sugar pear, sugar plum, sugar peach..."

"Enough." Xia Xiaoran interrupts Da zhangtou's fantasy. Why does this guy always want to talk about cross talk? "Master Zhang, please make another one, so that we can try it for your concubine."

"All right." Big Zhang's head starts to work on the guy. After a while, the ice sugar gourd will come out of the pot.

Hawthorn is loaded on a crystal plate by the side dishes of the imperial dining room, and is carried out by hancui. Along the way, Xia Xiaoran is tut Tut, crystal plate with crystal bowl, also with vivid carrot carved flowers. Xia Xiaoran sighed, did not expect the ice sugar gourd such an ordinary Beijing snack can have such a glorious time.

In the future, sugar gourd sellers in this world must treat me as their grandmaster. Xia Xiaoran feels that his face is bright. Unknowingly, when she arrived at Weiqi palace, hancui knocked on the door, knelt down on the ground and said, "Niang Niang, this is what Miss Huang specially prepared for you." Xia Xiaoran kneels on the ground and agrees: "Niang Niang, you must have a try." Mingmei was miserable. "Is it medicine?" " Indeed as expected is the power of the face value can't resist, Xia Xiaoran immediately feel oneself guilty. Han Cui sent her things forward and said with a cunning smile: "Niang Niang, although it's medicine, it's not bitter at all."“ Isn't it bitter? " Ming imperial concubine's age is still young, what emotion all presents on the face, suspiciously looks at contain Cui. Han Cui nodded with certainty and comforted: "it's not bitter at all." Xia Xiaoran coaxes the child with Han Cui, "Niang Niang, you can taste it first to know whether it's bitter or not." After taking the plate, the Ming imperial concubine was really interested in the round sugar gourd, "it's so beautiful." Pick one up and put it in your mouth. The aroma of maltose fills your mouth immediately. See Ming imperial concubine put ice sugar gourd in the mouth and did not spit out, Xia Xiaoran greatly relieved. Even ate three ice sugar gourd of Mingmei people gracefully wipe mouth, kneeling on the ground of Xia Xiaoran said: "taste good." Xia Xiaoran do five body to the ground shape, "Niang Niang like it, as long as every day to eat a few ice sugar gourd, Niang Niang's condition will be improved." Heart suddenly move, Xia Xiaoran suddenly think of modern once had a bad appetite, then the hospital opened is a kind of medicine called big Hawthorn pill. Since Hawthorn can be wrapped in sugar, so can big Hawthorn pill. Mingmei's mood looks good. "It's a good name. Did you get it?"
