It is said that good medicine tastes bitter.
Prince Chang was in great pain at this moment, but he could still drink the medicine.
Faced with his son's eagerness, he could only accept it politely: "Okay, leave it there, it's too hot."
"Can I give Dad a blowjob?" Zhou Zhaoheng asked.
Prince Chang choked, picked up the soup resignedly, turned his head sideways, took a deep breath of the air which was slightly less bitter, then turned his head, blew slowly on the soup in front of him, and then took a big gulp and poured it into his mouth.
Even though he tried to hold it back, the bitter juice suddenly spread across every gap between his lips and teeth, making him feel as if even his soul was bitter.
vomit--
He felt nauseous from the bitterness, and his already pale face turned slightly blue.
Fortunately, the portion of this bowl was not particularly large, and he swallowed it after a while. Just as he swallowed it, a thin pair of hands brought a small pancake to his mouth, and he opened his mouth subconsciously.
The shell is crispy, and you can hear a crisp sound when you bite it.
Then a thick, sweet liquid that was warm but not hot overflowed and slid between his lips and teeth. It was so sweet that his pale face immediately improved.
The sweetness was a bit too much when eaten alone, but when mixed with the crispy outside and soft inside of the cake, it was just right, not excessive, but just sweet enough to make the bitterness in his lips and teeth have no effect and be overshadowed.
Prince Chang, a man who doesn't like sweets, felt for the first time that this sugar cake was really delicious.
When he came to his senses, he had swallowed the sugar cake unconsciously, and the bitterness in his mouth was gone. He raised his eyes and saw his son looking at him expectantly. He smiled and rubbed his son's head: "It's very sweet and delicious."
Especially when he thought that this was made by his son, he felt so sweet in his heart!
Zhou Zhaoheng immediately smiled widely and said happily, "I knew it was delicious. There's more here. I made it especially for you!"
Then he took out the cake with the chubby belly from the bunch of sugar cakes and handed it over, full of anticipation.
Prince Chang had just enjoyed his meal, and seeing his son like this, he realized that everything he was doing was for his son, so he took it and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
It still tastes the same as before.
only……
"Crack..." After a moment, the sweet and thick liquid directly overflowed the lips and teeth.
"Ugh!" King Chang didn't expect that there was so much stuff packed inside. He was caught off guard for a moment and it almost overflowed. He subconsciously caught it with his hands. Fortunately, he reacted immediately and it didn't really overflow.
But the taste, which was like eating melted thick white sugar, made his face turn... blue again.
Now he understood what it felt like to be sweet to the point of being bitter!
Is this the love from one's own son? !
Just when his expression changed, Zhou Zhaoheng panicked and asked worriedly, "Dad, is it not tasty? Did I do something wrong?"
"...No!" Prince Chang shook his head decisively, swallowed the cloyingly sweet sugar, shook his tongue, and said insincerely, "It's delicious, but Dad just drank so much medicine and now he's eaten two sugar cakes, so he's a little full."
This time it really hit me to the heart!
Xiao Huaiting, who was standing by, looked at the man who was deceiving his son with cold eyes, his eyes full of mockery.
Who believes this?
His expression made him look as if he was choking on the sugar cake.
But Zhou Zhaoheng believed it. He blinked his clear eyes twice and said obediently, "Well, then I won't eat it."
"Give it to your mother and your Sixth Uncle Xiao. He will definitely like it..." Prince Chang rolled his eyes and pointed at the mocking young man.
Zhou Zhaoheng looked at him sincerely.
Xiao Huaiting: "..."
He stood up and said, "Ah Heng, we can't stay in the palace for too long. We have to go back."
Zhou Zhaoheng's little face fell immediately, but he did not refute. Coming here was already a trouble for the Xiao family. There were many rules in the palace, so how could he really make things difficult for the other party?
He put down the sugar cake and said, "Dad, next time you find the medicine bitter, just take two, and it won't be bitter anymore..."
"Um……"
The father and son were talking in low voices, and Princess Chang was watching with a smile on her face, looking extremely satisfied.
When we returned to the Xiao Mansion, it was lunch time.
Because she had eaten sugar cakes at noon, her mouth was a little too sweet, so Yan Qiushu didn't eat much for lunch.
And just as Nan Qi said, it rained for the past two days. That afternoon, when she woke up from her nap, she heard the sound of raindrops falling on the tiles.
It’s a rainy day!
She stretched lazily on the bed and started to feel hungry, so she got up to eat some spicy strips and crack some melon seeds, while leisurely thinking about what to eat tonight.
Suddenly there was a movement: "Sister Shu!"
"Aunt Yan!"
"Sister Shu..."
Voices of men and women, big and small, suddenly appeared.
Aunt Xu stopped them outside, and Shui Yu came in to announce, "Young Master Pingsong and his companions are here, and the eldest grandson of the emperor is here too. Miss, are you getting up?"
"Get up!" Yan Qiushu said quickly.
Fortunately, she couldn't sleep anymore.
Shui Yu quickly took the clothes and helped her put them on. After she tidied them up, she wiped her face and hands before Yan Qiushu left.
There was no charcoal stove outside and it was a bit cold. As soon as she went out, her face felt cold.
But looking at these four pretty and cute little faces, she smiled again: "What happened? They all came at once?"
Xiao Pingsong laughed foolishly, scratched his head and said nothing.
Wan'er smiled embarrassedly and looked at Dongdong.
Zhou Zhaoheng is the same.
Only Dongdong, with her bulging belly, said in a crisp voice: "Sister Shu, it's raining today!"
"Hmm? And then?" Yan Qiushu asked with raised eyebrows.
Dongdong said very skillfully, "This is the first rain of the year, so we have to celebrate. Sister Shu, what delicious food shall we eat tonight?"
Yan Qiushu chuckled and pinched everyone's face, but she didn't touch Xiao Pingsong. Twelve years old in modern times is still a child in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school. In this era, he can get married, but the difference between men and women still needs to be paid attention to.
She said, "I just woke up, are you so impatient?"
The four expectant little faces all fell, especially Dongdong, whose expression was lively and lively.
Yan Qiushu couldn't tease him anymore and said with a smile: "Come on, let's go see what's in the big kitchen!"
"good!"
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
The children suddenly became full of energy.
The servants holding umbrellas for them could hardly keep up.
The Xiao family's big kitchen did not disappoint her.
Because it is winter, fish and shrimp are no longer so scarce. The kitchen has always had them recently, including fish soup, steamed shrimp and the like.
But at this moment, because she had eaten the overly sweet sugar cakes made by Zhou Zhaoheng at noon, she didn't want to eat light food, so she took some shrimps and a fish.
Clean the shrimps, open their backs and remove the shrimp threads. Chop the fish into two halves in the middle, remove the bones, and use a knife to slice them into thin, translucent skins.
After cleaning the fish fillets and shrimp meat, put them into onion and ginger water, salt, egg white and other seasonings for marinating.
Then use the remaining fish head and fish bones, add onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings and a lot of water, and cook for about a quarter of an hour. Then put in the bean sprouts and other vegetables. After they are cooked, take them out and use them as the bottom of the plate. Then put the fish fillets in and quickly rinse them with water. After a few breaths, take them out and put them on the plate.
Then you can heat the oil in a pan again, add star anise, cinnamon, green onion and other things when the oil is hot, remove them after frying until fragrant, then add spicy foods such as peppercorns, dogwood, ginger, etc., fry until the pungent spicy smell comes out, then pour the oil into a plate.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—" The sound of hot oil being poured was heard, and the boiling fish fillets were cooked.
Then pour the remaining half of the oil into the plate containing the shrimp in the same way.
But unlike boiling fish fillets, fish fillets are thin and tender and can be cooked easily, but the thickness of shrimps is different. If you just pour the oil over them, they may not be cooked easily. Therefore, in order to ensure that they are not eaten raw, Yan Qiushu used a small milk pot instead of a bowl. Bean sprouts were placed in the small milk pot as the base dish. The bottom was lit on fire, and hot oil was poured on top with a "sizzling" sound.
The originally light brown shrimp skin turned directly into orange-red, and the shrimp meat quickly curled up, mixed with a large amount of pepper and cornel, the color was also very beautiful.
Then cover the lid and simmer over high heat for three minutes. Take it out and the boiling shrimp is done!
Because this dish requires a lot of hot oil, Yan Qiushu was worried that the four children would cause trouble in the kitchen, so she strictly refused to let them in.
At this time, the four children were all staring at the kitchen door. When a dish was ready, the aroma began to make them restless. They wanted to come in again and again, but they didn't dare to move because of Yan Qiushu's words.
When the shrimps were cooked and the aroma doubled, they couldn't resist at all. Dongdong had the worst self-control and sneaked in: "Sister Shu, are you ready?"
“I haven’t eaten something this delicious in a long time!”
He jumped up and down, wanting to see what smelled so good.
He has been eating too light food recently, and he urgently needs something with a stronger flavor to stimulate his tongue.
Yan Qiushu put her hand on his head without even turning around and threatened, "Get out first, or you won't be able to eat!"
Dongdong suddenly became depressed and ran out in shame.
At this point the last step was also completed. Yan Qiushu clapped her hands, picked up the tray, and left Shui Yu and Aunt Xu to continue working while making some for the people in other courtyards.
If what she did was not enough, she only needed to deal with herself, her children, and Mrs. Xiao.
The other adults in the middle can be more casual.
As Yan Qiushu moved, the four children automatically split into two groups to protect her, following her closely. When they arrived at the restaurant and saw her put down the two dishes, they exclaimed, "Wow!"
“It looks so hot!”
"It looks so beautiful~"
“It still smells good!”
The dishes made with a lot of peppercorns and other ingredients look very bright in color just by looking at them, not to mention the boiling shrimps, which look like an orange flower at first glance because they are curled up after being opened and have their heads removed.
"You can eat now!" Yan Qiushu said.
The palace maid who had been prepared came up first to test the poison.
One of them took a chopstick to taste it, and the other took a chopstick to taste it. After they finished eating everything, they waited for a while and then left.
The children couldn't wait to take out their chopsticks and start eating!
