Chapter 118: Fresh Vegetables
After Chen Yuntang said this, Yongchun started to serve Chen Yuntang and got up. Bai Mei moved a small table and placed it on the long couch in the room, and then brought out the dishes in the food box and put them in it.
Chen Yuntang had a fire in the bedroom and put on a charcoal fire. It was not cold. She put on a thick cloak and washed up and walked towards the couch.
Before he could sit down next to the couch, Chen Yuntang was stunned and his face sank.
Seeing that the master's face was wrong, Bai Mei said anxiously: "Marty, what's wrong with this dish?"
Chen Yuntang rubbed his forehead and lit a few dishes on the small table, "Where did these vegetables come from?"
There are not many dishes on the small table, only four or five plates, each dish is about two people.
But there was suddenly a lot of green in the dish, which I couldn't taste in this cold winter day.
For example, the light and refreshing stir-fried spinach, the elegant and sweet lily celery stir-fried shrimp... In the cold winter, unless the royal relatives can eat vegetables are nothing more than the cabbage and radish stored in the cellar, they must be kept well in autumn, otherwise they will not even be able to eat cabbage.
Now these rare vegetables in winter actually appear on the table in the Hou Mansion...
It turned out that the master wanted to ask this. Bai Mei breathed a sigh of relief and explained while helping the master to cloth vegetables, "It was sent by Changshou last night. It was with the white fox fur. It was said that they were all given to the Marquis in the palace. There were a basket of fresh vegetables in total. I thought that the Marquis could not finish eating it alone, so I asked someone to send half of it to the old lady. In winter, these vegetables were just to eat their freshness, so I made a few more dishes for the Marquis."
Another excuse for the palace...
Where is the palace? It is clearly the Regent King of Hell!
Now, in the palace, besides the Regent, where can I eat fresh vegetables? The imperial kitchen has become the Regent's private kitchen!
However, the King of Hell not only gave him precious white fox fur, but also gave him rare vegetables. What exactly did he want to do!
Yesterday in the palace, Chen Yuntang remembered that she had made the King of Hell unhappy. Could it be that the King of Hell have any other conspiracy to do these things?
Chen Yuntang was helped by Wing Chun to sit down next to Xiaoji. She looked at the delicious dishes in Xiaoji. They should have been the dishes that suit her taste the most, but now it seems a bit difficult to swallow.
When she thought that these vegetables were sent by the Regent, she was afraid that they would have been poisoned long ago, and she would be poisoned after taking a bite...
Wing Chun handed her chopsticks and told her: "The Marquis tried this dish of fried shrimp with lily and celery. It tasted light and moisturized the intestines and stomach."
Chen Yuntang forced himself to pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of celery and put it in his mouth.
Her taste is light and she can't eat too much meat. After autumn and winter, she doesn't have much satisfaction in eating, which leads to less and less food, and her body naturally recovers slowly.
Yesterday, I saw breakfast at the mansion and didn't even think of touching it. Later, I went out on an empty stomach until I ate a table of dishes specially prepared by the Regent in the imperial study, and then I was satisfied with the whole stomach.
It was also at that time that Chen Yuntang realized why she couldn't eat any food on weekdays. There were few vegetables and vegetables and could not eat vegetables. It would be strange if Chen Yuntang, who was used to modern living habits, could eat it.
Although Chen Yuntang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the vegetables on the table, he was not so repulsive when he really ate them.
I haven't eaten these vegetables for several months, and I suddenly ate them, and tears of joy are about to fall.
Although she was timid and dissatisfied with the Regent, these vegetables had no grudge against her. The shelf life of vegetables was short. If she didn't eat them, it would be wilted in a few days. Isn't it a waste?
When you don’t have vegetables to eat, wasting vegetables is simply shameful!
So, after eating a few chopstick dishes, Chen Yuntang happily separated the vegetables sent by the Regent from the Regent.
With fresh vegetables, the food is indeed much more delicious.
Wing Chun and Bai Mei, who were cooking vegetables next to her, were relieved when Chen Yuntang's appetite improved and happily prepared vegetables for her.
As he was eating, a sudden flash of inspiration flashed through Chen Yuntang's mind.
Since Dayan has no fresh vegetables in winter, she has a glass recipe and can completely grow fresh vegetables in a glass room!
If this method is done, will the Yongxing Hou Mansion still worry about the money of Xing’s family?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuntang's eyes lit up, and he quickly took a few bites, asked Yongchun Baimei to remove the food, and then searched Changshou and the butler Nie to come to the study to discuss important matters.
Although I don’t know what the master was doing when he suddenly found someone, the two sisters always follow the master’s fate, so they hurriedly went to do it.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuntang met Changshou and the old housekeeper of the outer courtyard in the small study.
Every time the Marquis was anxious to find them, they had important things, and they did not dare to delay putting down their work and rushed over immediately.
Chen Yuntang sat upright behind the table and pointed to the chair not far away, "Sit down, I will tell you slowly."
Both of them were old men from the Marquis' Mansion, especially Chang Sui, who was Changshou and Chen Yuntang, who knew his master better than the old housekeeper. He helped Uncle Nie to sit down first, and then sat down on the chair next to him, "Does the Marquis have something important to look for us?"
Chen Yuntang raised his lips, "Do you know how the vegetables in the palace are planted in winter?"
Chen Yuntang asked about the old and young ones just after a sentence.
Changshou and Uncle Nie looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
How could the Royal Planting Vegetables in Winter be revealed to the people? Nowadays, all kinds of recipes are masters and apprentices. From the saying that there is no teaching or discernment, even if you learn to make buns, you must learn from your masters, let alone such a magical method of growing vegetables in winter.
At present, this magic is only controlled by the royal family, and it is the direct line of the royal family. Even the royal relatives do not know it. They can only occasionally enter the palace in winter to taste fresh vegetables. There are very few opportunities like this.
If ordinary people could eat vegetables in winter, how could it be considered a royal privilege?
When Chen Yuntang heard this answer, he was not surprised, but he also had an expectant expression, which made Changshou and Uncle Nie confused.
"Why did the Marquis ask this question suddenly?" Uncle Nie asked curiously.
"Because we have to make money by relying on this." Chen Yuntang made it straight to the point.
This short sentence shocked Changshou and Uncle Nie.
When Chen Yuntang said that she had made glass recipes, they were not so shocked.
In the cold winter, it is not just a huge profitable deal. If done well, it also affects the livelihood of the people. Comparing the glass with it is not worth mentioning.
Both of them were nervous and their throats were hoarse.
"What the Marquis said is true?" Changshou and Uncle Nie asked together.
Chen Yuntang smiled and said, "When did you marquis, I have told you a joke? Don't worry, you can answer my questions first. Did the royal fresh vegetables come out from several imperial farms around Yanjing?"
The two nodded at the same time. This is no secret. After all, the goods transported by the royal family into the palace will not be concealed. Over time, you can know a little bit as long as you have some tricks.
