Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 72 Spring Eating Flowers

The Fourth Prince's current complicated mood does not affect Liu Youyou's good sleep.

Now there was no mistress in charge, and the courtyards did not pay respects. The respects to Concubine De were paid after paying respects in the palace, which was not too short and not too early. So if there was nothing serious, Liu Youyou could sleep until she woke up naturally.

Besides, we have been staying up late in the simulation space, how can we not sleep a little more? You said that in the simulation space, the body is in a deep sleep state? What did you say? I didn't hear you.

Many spring migratory birds are resting on the pomegranate tree outside the door, among which the most eye-catching is the 'Tree Stringer', whose body is mainly various shades of yellow, with some emerald green dotted on the outer feathers of its head. Not only does it look cute, but its voice is also loud and pleasant. Liu Youyou noticed that the birds had settled down, so she asked the people in the yard to make a simple bird food cage.

Now it was time for the birds to repay Liu Youyou. After the little birds had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to sing. Normally, Liu Youyou would be happy to listen to the chatter of these little elves, but early in the morning, even though the layers of bed curtains blocked the sunlight outside, they could not stop the sound from spreading.

Liu Youyou tucked her head into the quilt, but the chirping sound still came into her ears unstoppably. With a sigh, Liu Youyou finally stuck her head out of the quilt. Jianqiu, who was waiting outside, heard the noise inside and came in to check, "Master, why are you up so early?"

Liu Youyou rubbed his temple helplessly, "This is such a beautiful spring day, the birds in the trees can't bear to see me waste it!"

Liu Youyou spoke elegantly, and Jianqiu knew that she had been woken up, so she also said jokingly: "They said that the master would give them food every day, and now they are here to repay the favor!"

Liu Youyou pointed at him from a distance and said angrily, "You are so good, Jianqiu, you actually made up a story about me! Huichun, why don't you punish him for me!"

Huichun suppressed her laughter and pretended to be serious. She hugged Jianqiu and began to tickle her. Jianqiu was so itchy that she begged for mercy, "Good master, good sister, please forgive me!"

The master and servant chatted and laughed. Huichun combed Liu Youyou's hair into a simple bun and matched it with a few small hairpins made with fashionable patterns. It was simple yet exquisite. Liu Youyou's life had not been peaceful for the past two months, and now she could finally enjoy life.

She took the earrings in the box and picked out the ones she liked one by one. She was not in a hurry to finish, just wanting to experience how the most luxurious royal family wasted. While looking at the mirror, she ordered: "I will serve a bowl of bird's nest later. I heard that the imperial kitchen has a new batch of elm seeds. I haven't eaten enough of the elm seed cakes and elm seed pancakes I made last time!"

Jianqiu was the most informed and replied, "Yes! I heard it was found on the mountain. The elm tree grows late and has just sprouted. How come the imperial kitchen got it!"

Liu Youyou smiled in the mirror and said, "This is called 'The beauty of April on earth is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom'. It means that the temperature in the mountains is lower than that in the plains, so the plants in the mountains come back to life later!"

Jianqiu was not annoyed and continued to introduce: "Master, the imperial kitchen has received a lot of fresh roses recently!"

Liu Youyou likes to eat flower cakes and drink rose tea. She will not miss this seasonal fresh ingredient. "Then let the imperial kitchen make more dishes and try this flower feast this morning!"

Jianqiu wrote down all the requirements and arranged for the little palace maid to run errands.

The imperial kitchen has always been aware of people's expressions. This concubine Yi is the only one in the Fourth Prince's mansion. The Fourth Prince even raided his own mother's family a few days ago. This couple cannot be offended. The person in charge arranged the most skilled chef to prepare meals for Yixiu.

Since they specifically requested a flower banquet, the two skilled cooks and countless eunuch helpers were so busy that the chopping boards were about to spark. After rushing for two quarters of an hour, they packed the prepared food into food boxes and sent four eunuchs to follow the errand maid back to the Fourth Prince's residence.

Liu Youyou sat down at the dining table, waiting for the dishes to be served.

The first dish served was the bird's nest that Liu Youyou specifically requested, which was added with rock sugar and white fungus. What was even more surprising was that it was filled with large edible peony flowers, with the peony petals fully expanded in the transparent soup. This one dish made Liu Youyou look forward to the following dishes.

The second dish was fried. The thick and broad petals were wrapped in flour and the whole thing was golden. Liu Youyou was a little confused about what it was.

The young eunuch from the imperial kitchen nearby introduced with great insight: "Concubine Yi, these are the petals of the magnolia flower. Wash the petals, season with flour and sugar, and fry them in a pan to make fried magnolia slices."

Liu Youyou picked up a piece from the bowl and took a light bite. A crispy crunching sound was heard. The chef in the imperial kitchen was very skilled. Even after being transported for quite a while after being out of the pot, the crispy texture of the dish was not affected.

Liu Youyou savored the magnolia flowers in her mouth again. Although the outside was fried dry and loose, the magnolia flowers inside still retained their moist texture. Chewing them in her mouth, she felt as if she was on a magnolia tree, with the refreshing fragrance wafting into her nose.

The young eunuch continued to introduce: "This one is peach blossom and mandarin fish egg custard. Similarly, wash the flower petals, wash and slice the mandarin fish meat, and place the fish slices neatly on the egg liquid to steam. After steaming, sprinkle the fried peach blossoms and pea seedlings on top."

Jianqiu directly put the whole piece with peach blossoms, fish and eggs into Liu Youyou's bowl. Liu Youyou tasted it carefully. The eggs must have been seasoned with fresh soup, and the marinated mandarin fish was also very well done. It was eaten with peach blossoms and pea seedlings, which was refreshing and refreshing. Liu Youyou could feel the fish in the water eating the fallen peach blossoms with her eyes closed.

The fourth course was a stew.

"This is a dish called chicken stewed with dendrobium flowers and scallops. It uses dendrobium flowers, scallops, cordyceps, red dates, and ginger slices. It is stewed in a clear sauce and is good for your skin and mind. It is the most nourishing dish!"

Liu Youyou tasted the soup directly, which had the seafood flavor brought by the scallops and the herbal fragrance of the dendrobium flowers, paired with the chicken soup that can never go wrong, absolutely delicious!!!

Liu Youyou felt the melancholy of Da Pangju who liked to drink old duck soup but could not have more than three bowls. You said I am a concubine and I don't have to obey. That's fine. Jianqiu, give me another bowl!

Finally, the main course was served: a bowl of honeysuckle porridge, freshly baked flower cakes, elm seed cakes, and appetizing pickled cucumbers.

Liu Youyou tasted the food with satisfaction and sighed again, saying that he was indeed the top chef of the era, as he could make so many different kinds of breakfast.

Liu Youyou had fried magnolia flowers in her left chopstick and mandarin fish egg custard in her right chopstick, and then had a sip of chicken soup, which she enjoyed very much along with the staple food.

Just when I was so happy! Huichun came to report: "Master, the fifth princess is here to visit!"

Liu Youyou paused with her chopsticks. When paying her respects to Concubine De, she would occasionally run into the Fifth Princess. They were acquaintances, but the Fifth Princess usually served the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace. Why did she come to the Prince's residence today?

"Why don't you bring the princess in quickly, prepare some tea, and tell her I'll be right there once I've dressed up."

Well, this meal can only end here. But Liu Youyou has almost finished eating. This is a little more than she usually eats. Let's order more next time! The imperial kitchen will not run away.
