Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

When he first came here, his family was in dire straits. His younger brothers and sisters were forced to work non-stop under the oppression of Old Lady Chu and others. They were hungry and cold, and being beaten and scolded was a daily routine. His life was really depressing.

Later, the family was kicked out of their home, and it was questionable whether they could survive.

Who could have thought that in less than a year, their lives had changed so much. The originally timid Qingli has now become sunny, lively and lovely. Qinghe is very glad that the hardships of the past did not affect her. She hopes that Qingli can live happily like this in the future.

After returning to the mansion, Baili Ye said to Qinghe, "Xiaohe, I'm going to the palace. You take Qingli and Duoduo to settle down."

Qing He nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

"Okay." Baili Ye went into the palace to meet the emperor.

Qinghe took Qingli and Duoduo to Weirui Courtyard next to the main courtyard. The housekeeper saw that the masters had returned with two younger sisters, and immediately arranged for the maids to prepare accommodation for the two and provide service personnel in the courtyard.

When the few people arrived, the housekeeper also came to the yard with his people.

"Princess, these are the maids and servants I have selected to serve my two cousins. Do you think they are satisfactory?"

Qinghe smiled and said:

"Thank you, butler, for your hard work. I am naturally satisfied with the people you choose.

Qingli and Ruiduo each brought two maids and a female martial arts master.

They all serve the two cousins ​​and know their habits.

Let them take charge of the affairs of the two young ladies' rooms, and the butler will assign two first-class maids to take care of the other people's errands, and the other butlers can just arrange the errands as they see fit."

Butler: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and get busy. I'll take them to prepare food."

"Yes."

The housekeeper took everyone downstairs to arrange the tasks, and Qinghe took the two of them to the kitchen.

When the two heard that they were going to the kitchen to prepare food, they immediately perked up. Qingli asked, "Sister, what are we eating today?"

"What do you want to eat?" Qinghe asked.

Qingli tilted her head and thought for a while, then said:

"Sister, I want to eat braised pork, the kind that is fat but not greasy and melts in your mouth. It must be especially delicious when paired with soft and glutinous rice."

Duoduo also said:

"Sister, the sweet and sour pork ribs I had last time at Dasheng were extremely delicious, sour and sweet. I want to try some."

Qinghe smiled and nodded:

"Okay, then let's add sweet and sour pork ribs. Anything else?"

"I want to eat thousand-layer tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and cold cucumber salad." Qingli ordered the dishes.

Duoduo was not to be outdone and ordered several dishes in succession: "I want to eat roast duck, braised beef and hot pot."

Qing He couldn't help but laugh:

"Two little greedy cats, today I will satisfy your demands.

I also made a light Wensi Tofu. The tofu was cut into thin strips and put into the soup. It looked like hair and melted in the mouth. It was also very delicious.

There is also a dish of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a healthy combination of meat and vegetables.”

Qingli and Duoduo smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.

Qinghe then instructed the cook how to prepare and fry each dish.

After assigning the food to several cooks, Qinghe took out another black fish and started to clean it.

A cook came forward and asked, "Princess, what are you going to do with this fish? Can I clean it?"

After saying that, he took the fish without waiting for Qinghe to speak.

Qing He looked at the enthusiastic cook and stopped fighting. She said, "Please clean the scales and internal organs. I will take care of the rest."

Qingli and Duoduo walked up to Qinghe and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do with this fish?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Sister wants to eat spicy fish, so let's make it today."

"Spicy fish? Is it delicious?" Duoduo asked curiously.

Qinghe smiled and answered Duoduo:

"The spicy fish I'm going to make has a unique flavor. You can try it when I make it later, but if you can't handle spicy food, you won't be able to enjoy its beauty."

Qingli said, "Sister, let's watch you do it later. I want to learn so that I can do it myself in the future."

"Sure! You will have to use a knife when you study medicine, so why not start by killing fish? You can learn today and do it yourself next time."

The two nodded excitedly: "Okay."

As the three were talking, they saw the cook coming over with a cleaned fish.

"Princess, this fish has been cleaned. Here it is."

Qing He took it and said to her, "Thank you for your hard work. Just watch how it's made here. You can try it when you make this dish next time."

The cook didn't expect the princess to tell her the secret recipe. She was grateful and said repeatedly, "Yes, princess, please rest assured. I will study hard."

So, under the watchful eyes of Qingli, Duoduo and the cook, Qinghe explained the method of making spicy fish while he started to cook it.

She first cut the fish into thin slices and marinated it with salt, cooking wine and egg white to make the fish meat more tender and smooth.

Chop the fish head, fish tail and fish bones separately and marinate them with marinade.

Then, while waiting for the fish to be pickled, Qinghe blanched a bowl of bean sprouts in hot water. When the sprouts were cooked, she took them out and spread them on the bottom of the bowl.

Next, dry chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger, garlic and other condiments are stir-fried in hot oil to bring out the aroma. Special spicy sauce is then added and stir-fried over low heat until the red oil is rich and the aroma is fragrant, then water is added and boiled.

Then add the fish bones and fish head and simmer over high heat to allow the deliciousness of the fish bones to be fully absorbed into the soup.

Finally, put the marinated fish fillets into the pot one by one. The fish fillets will instantly curl up in the boiling fish soup, becoming as white as jade, and will be cooked after a short while.

Pour the soup and fish into a large bowl with bean sprouts.

The last spoonful of boiling hot oil was poured on the spicy ingredients on top of the big bowl. With a sizzling sound, the aroma was instantly stimulated to the extreme. "

When everyone in the kitchen smelled this scent, they couldn't help but stretch their necks and sniff it hard.

"It smells so good! I can eat two bowls of rice tonight just for this smell." Qingli looked like a greedy cat.

Everyone nodded in agreement and couldn't help swallowing their excessive saliva.

At this time, the whole kitchen was bustling with activity.

Here, the cook in charge of the braised pork is blanching the selected pork belly, putting it into the pot to stir-fry until the oil comes out, and then adding rock sugar to stir-fry until the sugar color comes out. The pork belly gradually becomes bright red and attractive under the sugar color.

On the other side, the cook who made sweet and sour spare ribs skillfully fried the ribs until they were golden and crispy, and mixed them with a sweet and sour sauce.

The chef who cuts the vegetables has excellent knife skills. The thousand-layer tofu is cut into evenly thin slices, the tomatoes are cut into small pieces, the cucumbers are smashed and cut into sections, and all kinds of ingredients are neatly placed on the chopping board.

The roast duck slowly becomes golden and shiny in the oven, the fat drips onto the charcoal fire, making a crackling sound, the braised beef is also boiling in the marinade, and the rich aroma fills every corner of the kitchen.

Qingli and Duoduo watched from the side, swallowing their saliva from time to time.

Dinner was ready and Qinghe told the maid to set the table.

The food was served and Baili Ye also returned from the palace.

Baili Ye stepped into the mansion and went straight to the dining room. When he saw the table full of delicious food, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Qing He and said, "Today's meal looks delicious. Did Xiao He cook it himself again?"

Qing He smiled and said, "Will you try which dish I made later?"

"it is good."

Qing He smiled gently and asked, "You have been in the palace for a long time today. How are your father and mother doing recently?"

Baili Ye nodded slightly and said:

“My father and mother are very good, and I thought we would enter the palace together.

I said Qingli and Duoduo came to Dasheng, and you were settling them down, and the Queen Mother told you to bring them both to the palace when you are free."

Qing He responded, "Okay, let's go together after we return from Tailai County. Is there anything else in the palace?"

Baili Ye nodded and said:

“I came to the palace today to tell my father and mother about Daxia sending students to Dasheng to study medicine, and to tell my father that we will go to Tailai County tomorrow.

However, the envoys from the three countries will come to Dasheng for negotiations at the end of the month, and my father asked us to come back early to prepare for the negotiations."

"Okay, let's solve the problem as soon as possible, there's still time for us to come back." Qinghe thought for a moment and replied.

Baili Ye smiled and said, "Let's eat first and take a seat!"

Several people took their seats one after another. Qing He served a bowl of Wensi tofu to Baili Ye, Qingli and Duoduo respectively, and said with a smile:

"This is Wensi tofu, how does it taste?"
