Chapter 539 Sure enough, I came to the right place
Shuqu cake can be eaten steamed or fried.
The rat cakes chosen by Emperor Jingning and his entourage were all steamed, but the fillings were different.
Andersen knew that the ancestors in front of him were eager to eat the delicious food, so he tested the poison much faster than usual and did not dare to delay at all.
The prince looked at the steaming rat cake in front of him with sparkling eyes. It seemed that except for the tea cake and the chicken cake, all other spring special snacks were green.
It makes people think of the scene of green trees and tender green grass trying their best to emerge from the ground.
No wonder it is promoted as a special spring snack. This is to remind everyone that spring is here.
I don’t know whether the food street will launch similar activities in the future, such as Eat in Summer, Eat in Autumn, and Eat in Winter.
If there really were new activities here every season, his father and mother would definitely bring him here again.
Seeing that Andesheng had just finished testing the poison, Emperor Jingning and his family of three were ready to take action.
But with the Queen Mother as their elder, they could only try to hold down their arms and not do anything disrespectful.
The Queen Mother did not keep everyone waiting for long. She quickly raised the chopsticks in front of her and reached for the green and fragrant snacks.
She picked up one of the sweet-filled kudzu cakes with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
Seeing this, others also picked up their chopsticks, picked up their favorite fillings and put them in their bowls.
Emperor Jingning picked up a sesame and peanut-filled cake with his first chopsticks, blew it gently to his mouth, and couldn't wait to take a bite.
The skin of the Shuqu Cake is chewy and glutinous, but not sticky at all.
The fragrance of glutinous rice is mixed with a light scent of grass and wood, and there is a subtle bitterness in the sweetness, which does not make people feel sick at all.
As you chew, the fragrance of glutinous rice, sesame and peanuts jump onto your tongue, mixed with the special aroma of Artemisia selengensis, filling your entire mouth in an instant.
Coupled with the toughness of the skin, it is so delicious that it makes your heart tremble.
Emperor Jingning felt the fragrance of grass and trees between his teeth and cheeks, and an indescribable satisfaction surged in his heart.
It’s so delicious, it’s like a walk on the tip of your tongue.
While eating the rat cake, Emperor Jingning sighed that it was a good decision to come to the food street today.
As expected, I have to leave the palace to enjoy the spring, this is the taste of spring.
In previous years, the palace would always hold several spring banquets in spring.
The Queen had no intention of holding a banquet this year, and Emperor Jingning also felt that it was unnecessary.
All I saw in the palace were the same flowers and trees, nothing new.
It’s better outside the palace, there are fun things to do and delicious food.
You can enjoy the spring while eating spring food.
The queen also ate the shuqu rice cake stuffed with leeks, shrimp and chicken, mouthful after mouthful, and she couldn't stop eating.
Compared with leeks, leeks taste more tender and not as pungent as leeks.
The queen had only eaten fried leeks before, and this was the first time she tasted food with leeks as filling.
I have to say that the Shuqu Cake with leek filling is really full of spring.
As soon as you take a bite, the delicious and tempting filling will immediately sizzle with oil.
When you chew it, you can taste the fragrance of leeks, the freshness of dried shrimps and the meaty aroma of pork combined together.
Coupled with the soft yet tough outer skin, the taste is simply amazing.
While chewing, in addition to the complex aroma of various ingredients combined together, there is also a herbal scent lingering on the tip of the tongue.
One cannot help but savor it carefully and is reluctant to swallow it immediately.
The queen was in a good mood and smiled. It turned out to be the right decision not to hold the Spring Festival Banquet this year.
All spring banquets in the palace have to follow the rules, and they are almost the same every time.
After all these years, no matter how good the banquet is, I’m tired of it.
These activities are far less down-to-earth than those in the food street.
Eating the delicious food here now is like eating spring into your stomach bite by bite.
It makes people feel comfortable and satisfied.
I even felt like a creature in spring, full of energy.
The prince also ate the delicacies in the bowl with relish, looking very enjoyable.
Whether it is the sweet Shuqu Cake or the salty one, they all have their own characteristics and deliciousness.
Take a gentle bite, the chewy and glutinous Mousetail Cake melts between your lips and teeth, and the fragrance of the Mousetail leaves instantly fills your entire mouth.
The sweet koji rice cake is filled with delicate bean paste or fragrant sesame and peanut crumbs. The sweet taste blends with the unique aroma of koji leaves to form a wonderful and harmonious taste.
Sweet but not greasy, just right.
The fresh taste spreads in the mouth, like a breeze in the fields slowly sweeping across the tip of the tongue, carrying the fragrance of soil and the scent of grass, intoxicating.
The salty taste has a completely different flavor. The prince’s favorite is the suqu gu made with diced bamboo shoots, scallops, dried shrimps, mushrooms and pork meat.
Take a bite and you will be amazed by its delicious taste, it is simply a delicious dish.
Emperor Jingning ate two rattail cakes in a row, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder it is called Chunlei, this is clearly the spring hidden in the delicious food.
Emperor Jingning took another sip of tea and couldn't help but feel happy.
In the past, he had buried himself in heavy government affairs all day and had not spared the energy to discover the beauty of life.
It turns out that sometimes such simple meals also contain the poetry of life.
Emperor Jingning raised his head and looked at the other three people who were absorbed in eating, his eyes softening.
Maybe he should plan his time carefully after returning. Apart from official duties and sacrifices, which he cannot shirk, he can arrange his time freely.
According to the current situation, the food street basically launches an event every once in a while.
He must at least make sure that he can have time to bring his family along during the event.
People only live one life, and kings will not necessarily live longer than ordinary people.
In this case, it is better to live a happier life within a controllable range.
And he wasn't just doing it to make himself happy.
It would be great if I could take my mother, the queen and the prince out of the palace to play and taste delicious food from time to time.
The Queen Mother, the Empress, and even the Crown Prince will be very happy.
The Queen Mother and the Empress are able to leave the palace occasionally to relax, so they are naturally in a good mood.
The prince was also able to find some time to relax in the midst of his heavy workload.

On the other side, Shen Huazheng and the Shen family were having lunch together.
The table was filled with all kinds of seasonal delicacies.
There are shepherd's purse dumplings, leek dumplings, scrambled eggs with toon, cold shredded bamboo shoots, fried rice noodles with shredded bamboo shoots, and glutinous rice stuffed rattan rice cake.
There was also a bowl of bamboo shoot and duck soup in front of each person, which was very rich.
I don’t know if it’s because the ingredients are fresh or because I’m in a good mood, but I always feel that every dish tastes impeccable.
The scrambled eggs with Chinese toon look golden and green, and the fragrance is so delicious that it makes you drool.
The young shoots of Chinese toon are blanched and mixed with egg liquid. They have the aroma of the wild vegetable itself and the richness brought by the egg.
One bite and you can taste the freshness of toon and the mellowness of egg.
Because lard is added during cooking, the aroma of toon and fat coexist together, giving it a unique flavor.
The Shuqu cake is fried. Put the printed Shuqu cake aside to cool, then put it into the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown.
Take a bite, it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The aroma of Gnaphalium and rice combine perfectly in the mouth, forming a wonderful taste.
Unlike other fleeting "freshness", leeks can be eaten all year round.
But eating leek dumplings at this time seems to have a different taste.
No wonder people say that spring is the most delicious season for leeks.
In addition to Chinese toon and leeks, the bamboo shoots are also very fresh.
What interested everyone the most was the fried rice noodles with bamboo shoots. Rice noodles looked a bit like rice noodles, but Shen Huazheng said that these were two completely different foods.
The ingredients of Kway Teow are relatively simple, mainly made of rice and water. The main ingredient of Hor Fun is rice, with some other ingredients such as starch and tapioca flour added.
They have different ingredients and slightly different tastes.
