Chapter 181
Empress Dowager Yuan held a cup of steaming noodle soup in her hand.

There are "white plums" floating in the clear chicken soup, and a few goji berries are adorned on the surface, making Wan Xue a little bit of red, and the bright red sets off the plum blossoms as white as jade.

Queen Mother Yuan picked up a spoonful of "white plum blossoms", blew gently on the hot white porcelain spoon, and said with great interest: "Are you cooking a bowl of plum blossom chicken soup for the Ai family?"

She put the white porcelain spoon into her mouth, and the deliciousness of chicken soup and the fragrance of plum blossom exploded in her mouth.She chewed it a few times, but she didn't taste the bitterness of plum blossoms at all, but instead tasted the sweetness of starch.

The Empress Dowager Yuan came back to her senses, raised her thin eyebrows, and her surprise was beyond words: "This taste...isn't plum blossom!? But the Ai family clearly smelled the fragrance of plum blossom?"

Xie Xiaobai lowered his head and said respectfully: "It's plum blossom soup cake. The servants use water soaked in plum blossoms and sandalwood powder to knead the noodles, and the dough slices are naturally tinged with the fresh and pleasant fragrance of plum blossoms."

"If the empress dowager thinks this dish is acceptable, on the day of the plum blossom banquet, the servants want to prepare plum blossom soup cakes in the dining room. Dian Hong once suggested that the servants, if there is a wife who is hungry at the banquet, you can serve it. Have a taste of the craftsmanship in the palace."

"You girl, you are a bit clever." Queen Mother Yuan bent her hand that was stained with Dan Kou, scratched Xie Xiaobai's nose, smiled and glanced at the accompanying Wang Gonggong, "reward."

Xie Xiaobai can't say that she read it from the books of later generations.

When she was reading at that time, she was still thinking silently in her heart: The ancients were sometimes really wasteful when it came to eating.

Take this dish as an example. She soaked plum blossoms in water, and finally discarded the flowers and left the water alone. She stewed a chicken slowly, but finally discarded the chicken and drank pure soup.

She felt sorry for the fat chicken.

Behind a seemingly simple dish, I don’t know how many ingredients and manpower are used to make it worthy of the word "elegance".

Eunuch Wang handed Xie Xiaobai a heavy purse.

"Thank you for the reward from the Empress Dowager." Xie Xiaobai still had the same expression of not being surprised.

……

On the day of the plum blossom banquet, Dianhong went to make tea for the distinguished guests.

This sencha has a performance nature. While chatting, the wives can enjoy the classic sencha technique. Looking at the gentle beauty and smelling the long aftertaste of tea, it is comfortable and comfortable enough.

Xie Xiaobai and her little friend from the catering department couldn't go to the banquet scene for the whole time.

They must ensure that the tea and food can be placed on the tea table at the same time that the nobles are holding hot tea.

Fortunately, the tea and food that Xie Xiaobai chose this time are not pastries that need to be made fresh. She only needs to take out the plum blossoms that have been soaked in honey for a long time and complete the work of arranging them.

This time she chose a mahogany tray to display tea and food.On each palm-sized peach wood plate, there are five white plums and a piece of white plum flesh. The white plum is wrapped with crystal clear bright yellow honey. .

Xie Xiaobai counted the time and put the honey-soaked plum blossoms on the tray, and watched the palace maid who delivered the meal slowly leave the Shangshi Bureau.

Miaofu waved her hands in front of Xie Xiaobai, "Don't look, everyone has gone. I thought you, a god, would be successful in hosting the plum blossom feast, but you are also worried just like us."

"I've done what I should do, and what happens next is up to fate." Xie Xiaobai never forgot to set up a calm palace woman at this time.

Miao Fu asked: "Do you really want to know what happened before?"

"Do not want to."

"Since Dian Shan doesn't want to, forget it. Originally, the servant was planning to send someone to ask the maid who delivered the meal how the situation is going ahead." Miao Fu said.

The original body, Xiaobai, is introverted, and he is cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays. In line with the principle that more things are worse than less things, he sweeps the door, doesn't deal with outsiders very much, and has few friends.

Miaofu is different from Xiaobai. She is outspoken, likes liveliness, and is loyal. She has acquaintances in every palace, so it is very convenient for her to inquire about information.

"Wait!" Xie Xiaobai stopped Miao Fu, "You find someone to ask about the previous situation, and I'll see if I want to post a video later."

Miao Fu looked up at the sky. The sun was still hanging in the center, and it was still early for dinner.

She smiled knowingly and didn't point it out, "Yes, I'll help Dian Shan to ask you."

Miaofu came out of the catering department, and ran back excitedly after about two quarters of an hour.

She held Xie Xiaobai's hand excitedly, "Xiaobai, the ladies are full of praise for your honey-soaked plum blossoms. I'm afraid after today, this tea will be prepared at the tea banquets of every family in the capital!"

"When did I ask this?" Xie Xiaobai couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, "Is there any sign that the Empress Dowager's banquet will last until evening?"

"Oh, I'm going to talk about this later!" Miao Fu grabbed Xie Xiaobai and jumped up and down, "Today's tea banquet should not be held until evening, but all the ladies unanimously praised the refreshment, so the queen mother asked the ladies to come again. Stay and try the plum blossom soup cakes you made."

"You even found out about this?" Xie Xiaobai couldn't help but marvel: To be able to inquire about the information in such detail, this wonderful woman is simply a human-shaped gossip machine!

Miao Fu waved her hand, "How could I be so capable! I met Wang Gonggong on the way, and he told me all these. According to Wang Gonggong's footsteps, it is estimated that he will also come to our company at this moment. It's meal time."

As soon as Miaofu finished speaking, Wang Gonggong led a group of eunuchs into the catering department.

With the incident in front of Yeting Palace beforehand, the palace servants of Sishansi were frightened when they saw the prince.

Among a group of quails, the prince found Xie Xiaobai with a straight back, smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Xiaobai Dianshan, the Empress Dowager wants to let all the ladies have a meal of plum blossom soup cakes, remember to eat them before dinner." Do it."

Xie Xiaobai agreed.

She sent the prince away, and hurriedly gathered her men to prepare for the dinner.

For dinner, she not only served soup cakes, but also three side dishes according to the tastes of the wives, which naturally won the favor of the wives.

After the plum blossom feast, Xie Xiaobai didn't know whether Queen Mother Yuan had successfully achieved her social goals.

But Xie Xiaobai knew that the two winter restrictions at the Plum Blossom Banquet were completely popular in the capital.

These two dishes have been added to the private recipes of the noble family.

High-end restaurants and inns in the capital have also launched counterfeit versions of honey-soaked plum blossoms and plum blossom soup cakes under the banners of "the hottest item in the palace" and "the queen mother's favorite".

Even Xie Xiaobai suddenly became the female official with the highest order rate in the catering department overnight, earning a lot of extra money by relying on these two dishes.

On this day, Empress Dowager Yuan summoned Xie Xiaobai.

"In a few days, Your Majesty will clean up the dust for the King of Liang. The Ai family will leave it to you to handle the welcome banquet." The Empress Dowager Yuan lay on the beauty's couch and glanced sideways at Xie Xiaobai, "If you can make this If the matter is done well, the Ai family will promote you to be a chef."

The prince gave Xie Xiaobai a small purse.

The purse is very light, not like silver.

"Empress Dowager, this is..." Xie Xiaobai felt that he was holding a hot potato, but he didn't catch it or throw it away.

The prince smiled and said, "Xiaobai Dianshan, what are you thinking about? This is just hot pot seasoning prepared according to Prince Liang's preference. If you put these spices in Prince Liang's pot, Prince Liang will definitely be satisfied. "
