First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang
Chapter 09: The General's Cold
After Su Jixiang cleaned the previous pot, she took it out of the pot, reduced the water, and cut some ginger slices. In addition, she saw some dried wolfberries in the ingredients, but not much, they were just used by the chefs to garnish the soup and arrange the dishes. So she took out the wolfberries, grabbed a small handful, washed them in water, and then threw them into the pot to cook with the ginger.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for letting me use the kitchen." Su Jixiang bowed to Mr. Xu.
When Xu saw her making ginger tea, he knew that she and the other girl were freezing. He scratched his head, "You and her haven't eaten yet!" He rummaged through his bag, took out half a pumpkin and handed it to Su Jixiang, "Don't despise it, this is all that's left. You and her can make do with it. See if there's anything else that can be used, and use whatever you like."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Su Jixiang took the pumpkin and bowed respectfully to Mr. Xu. "You are a good person!"
Xutou felt a little embarrassed when Su Jixiang called him a good man. It was the first time for a rough man like him to be called that by a little girl. His face turned slightly red and he could only turn his back in embarrassment.
"Boss!" A soldier came back with a bowl of soup and two pancakes with ham and vegetables, with a worried look on his face.
"What's wrong? Has the general's stomach disease recurred?" Xu Tou'er understood it at a glance. He frowned and said that the things in the tray had not been moved at all.
"General, do you have stomach problems?" Su Jixiang asked as he poured out the brown sugar, wolfberry and ginger tea from the pot.
"Yes." Xu Tou did not hide it from Su Jixiang, "When General Wei's stomach disease flared up, he couldn't eat for several meals."
"Send a bowl of this first. It's always good to warm up the stomach." Su Jixiang took out a small bowl of the brown sugar, wolfberry and ginger tea he had just made and handed it to Xu Tou. "Is the general's stomach disease causing acid reflux or is it because of a cold stomach?"
"Can you treat illness?" Xu Tou'er asked curiously.
"Following the chef from the imperial kitchen, everyone will order medicinal food." Su Jixiang said.
"The general once caught a cold after soaking in the glacier. Whenever it snows, he will have stomachaches due to the cold." Xu said, "It's an old problem. The military doctor has been treating him for several years but couldn't figure it out. He just told him to keep warm when he has stomachache. But you know we've been fighting all over the country for the past few years, so there's no way to keep warm. So we just kept putting it off."
"Then I understand." Su Jixiang quickly took out two yams from the ingredients, washed them and peeled them, cut one into diamond-shaped slices, and steamed the other one with the pumpkin.
She soaked some black fungus, cleaned it and carried it on her back.
She peeled the steamed pumpkin and yam and mashed them into puree, then added water to the pumpkin puree to make pumpkin soup. She also cut wolfberries and some dried red dates into small pieces and kneaded them into the yam puree to make a yam puree ball, then divided the yam puree balls into small portions, rolled them into small round balls and pressed them into cakes.
She set up a small stove, brushed some oil on a small pot, applied a thin layer of oil, then put the yam cakes in the pot and fried them on both sides over a low heat until golden brown.
The aroma of jujubes in the yam puree immediately spread in the kitchen. It was a fragrant and sweet smell with a little bit of burnt aroma.
Seeing these, Xu Touer's appetite was aroused. "Can I try one?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Okay." Su Jixiang took one and handed it to him.
When Xu Touer took a bite, his mouth was filled with the aroma of dates. It was not very sweet, but the taste was very mellow. The yam was very smooth and brought a different taste, and the skin was crispy and the taste was very wonderful.
"Delicious!" said Xu Touer with a thumbs up.
Su Jixiang smiled slightly. Of course, the food she cooked was delicious. Before she traveled through time, she was the youngest gold medalist in the National Cooking Competition. The food she cooked was delicious! If she hadn't died in a car accident, she would have represented China to participate in the world competition.
After frying the yam pancakes, Su Jixiang poured some oil into the pan and heated it up. Then she poured the ginger into the pan and then the previously soaked scallops. With the stirring of the spatula, the scallops were heated evenly. She then poured the previously cut yam slices into the pan and kept stir-frying. When the yam slices were almost cooked, she added shredded black fungus, and then used tapioca starch to dilute the water and thicken the sauce. Suddenly the whole dish became smooth and oily. The moment it was taken out of the pan, Su Jixiang sprinkled some chopped green onions and a few wolfberries into it.
A plate of stir-fried yam slices is ready.
"It looks really good!" Xu picked up the plate and looked at it carefully. The snow-white yam slices and the black fungus shreds, dotted with a few green chopped green onions and red wolfberries, created a rich color contrast!
Su Jixiang collected the juice from the pumpkin soup she had cooked earlier to make it thicker. When she could draw a clear figure of eight on the surface of the soup, she immediately turned off the fire and served the pumpkin soup.
"Send it to your general!" Su Jixiang said with a smile. "This soup, this dish and this snack are very good for your stomach!"
"Great, great!" When Xu saw it, it was too beautiful! He hurriedly called the soldier and said, "Xiao Li, take these to the general!"
Xiao Li had just come back with the brown sugar, wolfberry and red date tea, and was also drooling as he watched. However, since it was for the general, he didn't dare to act rashly. He quickly responded, "By the way, girl, do you still have the ginger tea you had just now? How about another bowl?" he asked.
"Of course you can." Su Jixiang filled another bowl of ginger tea for Xiao Li. Xiao Li took it, put it on the tray and ran away.
Tou'er Xu looked at the pancake that Xiao Li had just brought back and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. To be honest, he was not full after eating that pancake just now!
"Boss Xu, please use these." Su Jixiang smiled and placed the pancakes and broth in front of him. "There is still some pumpkin soup left. We can drink that."
Concubine Mei had a fever and couldn't eat greasy food. Although the pancake with ham was delicious, it was a bit too oily.
"Okay, okay!" When Xu Touer saw Su Jixiang's understanding, he immediately smiled and said, "It's too cold over there. Why don't you let your companions sit over here and warm themselves by the fire!" He said kindly.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Xu! You are such a nice person!" Su Jixiang hurriedly thanked him, then went over to loosen the ropes tied around Concubine Mei and helped her up.
It turned out that Concubine Mei had a low-grade fever, her face was abnormally red, and her whole body was shaking.
Mei Fei was placed on a small stool behind the stove, which was closest to the furnace and the warmest. Su Jixiang first gave her some brown sugar ginger tea, boiled a basin of hot water for her to soak her hands and feet, and then fed her some pumpkin soup.
After completing this series of movements, Mei Fei felt the cold air was gradually being expelled from her body, and her limbs were no longer so cold and temperatureless.
She couldn't help but raise her tired eyes and look at Su Jixiang, "Thank you!" she said weakly.
