Chapter 143 The Precarious Relationship between Father and Son
Seeing that Princess Lejia looked so moved that she was about to cry, Chen Huazheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"They are just some sesame balls. Take them home and eat them first. If they are good, I will make more for you. Oh, and I also prepared some for the eldest princess. She can eat them too."
Lianxiangzhai's black sesame paste has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, and is very popular among the ladies in the capital, especially the elderly.
Princess Yi'an would also send people to Lianxiangzhai to buy it regularly.
She will definitely like the black sesame meatballs I made this time.
Princess Lejia looked at the fragrant sesame balls and felt very happy. "Grandmother will be very happy to see them. She likes the food you cook the most. She ate a lot of the walnut cake you gave me last time. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
Chen Huazheng didn't expect that the usually dignified and steady Princess Yi'an would actually steal her granddaughter's snacks, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
As she laughed, she suddenly thought of another thing.
*
In Prince An's mansion, Prince An hesitated for a while, but finally reached out his hand... picked up a sesame ball and put it into his mouth.
The shell with sesame seeds is crispy and makes a "crunching" sound in your mouth when you bite it.
However, this crispy texture is only on the thin layer of the crust. When your teeth break through the crispy surface, the soft and glutinous texture of the pastry enters your mouth, which tastes soft and glutinous with a little toughness.
If you chew it carefully, you can taste the glutinous fragrance with the aroma of black sesame and the unique flavor of grains.
The sesame filling inside is seasoned with honey and fried very delicately. Although it has a slight sweetness, it is not too greasy.
The distinct layers of taste are intertwined in the mouth, and coupled with the crispy outer layer and glutinous inner layer, it becomes more and more delicious and addictive the more you eat it.
After eating one, Prince An could no longer hold back and ate one after another.
When he came to his senses, most of the black sesame balls in the food box had been eaten.
Prince An looked at the food box in front of him and suddenly felt guilty.
Why was he so unable to resist the temptation that he even wanted to snatch his son's snacks? ?
He had clearly promised Raner that he would never secretly eat the black sesame balls when he was at school.
Isn't he a good father?
No, he's a father.
He just wanted to teach Raner the importance of sharing.
That's right!!
Prince An brainwashed himself while closing the food box with great pain.
He thought of Xiao Jingran who was about to return to the palace, and suddenly felt a headache.
Alas, he was in a bad mood for a long time after eating Ran'er's chestnut crisps last time. Who knows what kind of trouble he will make when he returns to the palace today.
Prince An was racking his brains to think of how to coax his son when the housekeeper suddenly walked in.
"Your Highness, Princess Yinghua sent over some sesame balls, saying they were prepared for Your Highness, Princess Consort, and the Crown Prince."
Prince An was overjoyed: "Quick, quick, bring it in."
housekeeper:……
The prince looks like this...could he have eaten the prince's snacks again?
If that were the case, there would be trouble again when the prince returns.
Although he had doubts in his heart, the butler quickly presented the things sent by Shen Huazheng to Prince An.
Prince An opened several food boxes and found that they were full of sesame balls and some chestnut crisps. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
Now there's something to eat.
The precarious father-son relationship between him and Ran'er was finally preserved.
Hahaha! ! !
When Xiao Jingran returned to the palace, he found his food box immediately and began to count the food carefully in front of Prince An.
When he found that there was not a single one missing, his eyes suddenly widened.
Could it be that this time, his father and mother resisted the temptation and did not steal his sesame balls?
Prince An spoke quietly from the side: "Look at you, you are still counting. Do you really not trust father and mother?"
Xiao Jingran: ...
Did he go too far?
I shouldn't think so badly of my father and mother?
Seeing Xiao Jingran's expression becoming somewhat guilty, Prince An waved his hand again, looking magnanimous.
"Forget it. After all, I am your father. Ran'er, you must remember that father and mother will never lie to you, understand?"
Xiao Jingran nodded: "Father, Ran'er remembers it. I will never do it again in the future."
Prince An was very pleased: "That's good."
Although my son is smart, he is still a little young.
It turns out that old ginger is still spicy.
Hehehe~~
…
Chen Huazheng had no idea about the series of events that had taken place in Prince An's Mansion. She was in the kitchen teaching Zhou Ying how to cook.
"Rice noodles are a versatile food. There are countless types of ingredients and soups. As long as you make the right combination, you can create many different dishes."
What Chen Huazheng taught Zhou Ying to make today was mixed sauce rice noodles. For mixed sauce rice noodles, the most important thing is the seasoning of the mixed sauce, as well as the ingredients and cooking time of the broth.
Now that they have chili peppers, they can make very delicious rice noodles with mixed sauce.
The fragrance spread and filled the entire kitchen.
As soon as Princess Lejia arrived at the kitchen, she smelled an enticing aroma.
She walked to Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying curiously and looked at the sauce in the pot: "It smells so good, what kind of sauce is this?"
Shen Huazheng: “This is miscellaneous sauce.”
Princess Lejia was stunned. What is mixed sauce?
But as soon as I heard it, I knew that there must be a lot of ingredients in it, and it smelled so good, it must be delicious.
Zhou Ying also smiled and said, "Zheng'er is teaching me how to make rice noodles with mixed sauce."
Princess Lejia became even more interested when she heard this, she loved rice noodles the most. As long as it was rice noodles made by Chen Huazheng, no matter it was dry or with soup, she could eat two bowls every time.
"Rice noodles with mixed sauce, it sounds delicious. I have to try it later."
Chen Huazheng kept an eye on the situation in the pot. After the bean paste was stir-fried, she poured all the minced meat into the pot.
There was a pleasant "sizzling" sound in the pot, the minced meat slowly became granular, and the hot sauce dyed the minced meat a reddish color.
Zhou Ying watched attentively from the side. Shen Huazheng saw the right moment and put the bamboo shoots and dried chilies that had been prepared long ago into the pot.
For a moment, the kitchen was filled with a choking smell.
Shen Huazheng looked at the pot and put salt, sesame seeds and cumin into the pot. She also added an appropriate amount of sugar and a spoonful of soy sauce to the pot.
Bubbles were bubbling in the pot, and Shen Huazheng continued to stir-fry until the sauce was absorbed. She stopped stirring only when the minced meat and the sauce were perfectly blended.
As the mixed sauce came out of the pot, an overbearing and rich aroma immediately spread in the kitchen. The fragrance drifted so far that even the servants who were sweeping outside the kitchen could smell it.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Oh my god, the mixed sauce alone is so fragrant. It must be so delicious if it is made into mixed sauce rice noodles.
