189 glutinous rice with chicken and lotus leaf

"Did Concubine Lan go to the imperial pharmacy to get the incense?" Lin Su leaned lazily on the soft couch and looked at Afu, who had been around for nearly seven months, grabbing the little thing he could catch in his hand and smiling happily, while A Ling occasionally kicked his brother twice because he was uncomfortable sleeping.

Reaching out and gently closing A Ling's garret, she then looked back at Xia Yan standing aside, "Do you know what incense it is and what medicinal herbs have been added?"

"A copy has been sent to Qiu Yan." Xia Yan cautiously glanced at Fujiang beside her and didn't say everything. "I only wait for Qiu Yan to send me a letter, and I will send it over there. Master, don't worry, I know what to do."

"As long as you understand it." Lin Su gently teased Afu with a furry gadget, which made him giggle, "With you working around, I do save a lot of heart. When you are old enough, I will naturally give you a thick bag and a good place to go.

"Master, maidservants and maidservants are willing to accompany the master." Xia Yan looked slightly moved, and then whispered, "The master's friendship with the maidservant is always in mind, and she is willing to accompany the master and serve the master."

Lin Su casually handed the gadget in his hand to Fujiang. With the help of Xia Yan, he got up and took a sip of herbal tea. Then he whispered, "The emperor has been busy with the government these days. Few people come to the harem. This morning, he sent Grandpa Chang to say that he would come here for dinner tonight. Go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare some fresh ingredients, and I will cook by myself.

Xia Yan answered and retreated. Lin Su sat aside and drank the water in the cup. Then she looked at Fujiang, who was serving the two little guys on the soft couch, and whispered, "Well, they must be tired of playing, so let them sleep. Come and talk to me."

Fujiang lowered his head and secretly glanced at Lin Su through his bangs and arranged the two little maids side by side. Then he gently came to Lin Su and whispered, "Mother, I can't speak. I'm afraid I'll say something I shouldn't say, which will annoy the Empress."

Lin Su smiled softly when he heard the words, pointed to the little pier beside him and said faintly, "Sit down."

Fu Jiang hesitated for a moment before sitting at Lin Su's feet and bowing his head without saying a word. Lin Su is not surprised. The reason why she has been keeping this little girl with her is that she was loyal to Li Moshan at the beginning, and the other is that she likes her knowledgeable and doesn't talk much.

"Speaking of which, it has been almost seven months since you came to me. I was pregnant with A Ling before, and then I went into confinement. Now I'm finally feeling better, so I want to ask you if you are still willing to stay in my Fuliu Hall to serve."

"Mother...Mother..." Fu Jiang immediately stood up when he heard the words, knelt in front of Lin Su, bowed his head and said in fear, "Is it something wrong with the maidservant that makes the Empress unhappy?"

"Don't be so afraid. I'm just asking." Lin Su motioned her to get up and sit down. When Fujiang sat at his feet again, he whispered, "I just want to ask if you are willing to stay in the Fuliu Hall, or you want to go somewhere else."

paused for a moment, then she put down the cup in her hand and whispered, "I have always appreciated your loyalty to the good concubine, and I still remember how you broke into my Fuliu Hall alone. It's just that the good concubine has been there for so long, and now I'm free, so it's not easy to force you to stay in my Fuliu Hall.

Lin Su's words are very clear. Even if she stays in the Fuliu Hall, she is loyal to herself. If Fujiang has always had her dead master in his heart, then don't stay in this Fuliu Hall.

Fujiang can stay with Li Moshan for so long. Naturally, he is also a well-minded person. Hearing what Lin Su said, he pondered for a moment and understood what she meant.

She lowered her head and whispered, "Since the maidservant stayed in the Willow Hall, she is naturally the person beside the Empress. Mother...Master, if there is anything, please tell me directly."

Lin Su smiled with satisfaction and gently knocked on the empty cup to signal Fu Jiang to add tea for her, and then whispered, "As long as you take good care of Afu and A Ling. Xinrui has to do other things. As for the new maid of honor, the little girl who has just entered the palace this year is still training and teaching her. Naturally, I will personally choose some people to share it for you.

"I know." Fujiang took a deep breath and handed the teacup to Lin Su. Then he answered in a low voice, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the two little masters."

"I'm relieved that you said that." Lin Su gently sent the back of Fujiang's hand, took a sip of tea, and then got up. She said to Xia Yan, who had just entered the door, "Let these two little guys take care of Fujiang and the wet nurse. You accompany me to the kitchen."

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and showed a slight look of surprise. She looked at Fujiang before she nodded and helped Lin Su out of the door.

"Master, can Fujiang be used?"

"It's a smart person. Let's take a look." Lin Su said casually. Looking at the lotus flowers that had not yet fully bloomed on the roadside, he thought for a moment, stopped the passing little girl and said, "Find two eunuchs and get some clean lotus leaves for me to the kitchen."

Xia Yan's unexpected thoughts about Lin Su, but this did not affect her work. After the clean lotus leaves were sent over, she specially washed them and sent them before sending them to Lin Su's hands. Lin Su picked up the lotus leaf and looked at it carefully. Then she put it aside and began to pickle the chicken. At the same time, she ordered Xia Yan to wash the japonica rice that Si Yu liked to eat, which included wrapping the chicken in lotus leaves and slowly steaming it in the cage drawer with chicken soup.

In Lin Su's memory, lotus leaf rice is a delicacy discovered by Si Yu as a supplement when the world's song and dance rose to level. The simple method, with the fragrance of lotus flowers, is very popular with Si Yu, so he specially asked the cooking method and asked the imperial chef to imitate it. At that time, when Lin Su was excluded, she also left more thought, secretly learned this, added a little of her own thoughts, and broke into Si Yu's sight again in one fell swoop.

vigorously rubbed the green dough mixed with vegetable juice. Lin Su shook his head slightly to recover from his memory, put the noodles aside and opened them. Then he looked at the two fish raised in the tank and ordered the cook next to take out one, pulled out the fish line to scrape the fish scales, and marinated them with seasoning.

After these were ready, she began to make some simple dishes. Because of the sultry weather recently, Lin Su guessed that Si Yue would definitely want to eat something refreshing, so the dishes were not very troublesome, but simple and refreshing.

When the time was almost up, she set up the pot and put down the pickled fish when the oil temperature was about the same, and fried both sides until they turned yellow. Then a spoonful of wine stirred up layers of water mist. When the fog dispersed, Lin Su added water to it, then put in some dried mushrooms and tofu, closed the lid, and waited for the soup in the pot to boil, and then slowly stewed it on low heat.
