Chapter 212: It's time to start eating again
"Cough cough cough!!"
Princess Lejia started coughing violently.
Shishu and Shihua hurried forward, took the teacup, and patted her back.
Yun Ruo also came over, looking worried: "Princess, are you okay?"
"It's okay," Princess Lejia finally recovered, tears still in her eyes. "I just drank the tea too quickly and choked."
Yun Ruo said in a gentle voice: "Princess, drink slowly next time. Don't drink too quickly."
Princess Lejia nodded and gave an awkward yet polite smile.
Yun Ruo bought all the notebooks she wanted, and then they left the bookstore.
Yun Ruo looked very happy, probably because she bought the storybook she liked.
When she got on the carriage, she was still telling Princess Lejia about her love for those storybooks.
"…Especially this book "Madness of the Immortal" I think the author is really great. There doesn't seem to be a specific protagonist in it. Everyone can be the protagonist in their own chapter, even if they are just a minor character."
“Do you think this is the highlight of this book?”
It was the first time that Princess Lejia heard such remarks. She had always thought that this storybook sold well because it was crazy enough.
At the beginning, the owner of Xinlin Bookstore even advised her not to write a story with multiple protagonists because it would be easy to mess up.
Princess Kelejia felt that even the most ordinary characters should be the protagonist in their own world, so she wrote it according to her own ideas.
Although this storybook sold quite well in the later period, Princess Kelejia never thought that this was an attractive point.
I didn't expect to hear Yun Ruo say such things today.
Yun Ruo: "Yes, I think the author must be a very good person. Because the characters he created are of all classes and genders. They all have advantages and disadvantages. But everyone has a wonderful personality and lovely qualities."
She paused and continued, "I've read so many storybooks, and most of them portrayed men very well, while women were either glossed over or had a miserable end. But this author did not favor men, but treated them equally, which is really rare."
Princess Lejia knew why she used the word "biased". In the eyes of the world, usually only men can write books or even storybooks.
There's no way she could be a woman.
She looked at Yun Ruo and suddenly asked, "What if the author of that book was a woman? Would you still praise it so much?"
Yun Ruo's eyes were burning: "If the author is a woman, wouldn't it be even more amazing? Then I would like it even more."
Princess Lejia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
At this time, the carriage just stopped.
"Let's go to the food court. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Just like Zheng Zheng said, it’s time to start shopping and eating again~~
I haven't seen Zheng Zheng and A Ying for just one day, and I miss them already.
I will go find Zheng Zheng and A Ying tomorrow and give the jewelry to them. They will look very beautiful wearing them.
……
In the Shen Mansion's kitchen, Shen Huazheng and Zhou Ying were cooking chicken stewed with mushrooms.
The most important thing about chicken stewed with mushrooms is not the chicken or vermicelli, but the hazel mushrooms.
Among the wild mushrooms I picked last time in Shanglin Weichang, there were wild hazel mushrooms, the kind with thin stems and small caps.
Now it has been dried and is perfect for making chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Clean the hazel mushrooms and soak them in warm water. Drain and set aside.
The water used to soak the hazel mushrooms was not poured out, but the impurities were removed and set aside.
The cook prepared the chicken and chopped it into small pieces.
Shen Huazheng heated up a pot and put the processed chicken pieces in to blanch them to remove the blood foam.
Then take it out and set it aside.
The chicken pieces are half cooked at this time and look white and tender.
Shen Huazheng picked up another pot and poured a proper amount of oil into it and heated it up.
After adding the Sichuan peppercorns and sautéing them until fragrant, use long chopsticks to pick out the Sichuan peppercorns. Then pour the prepared star anise, cinnamon, and angelica into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant.
Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Huazheng poured ginger, onion and garlic into the pot and stir-fried them.
After high-temperature heating, the aroma in the pot overflowed little by little, and Shen Huazheng poured the chicken into the pot and stir-fried it.
The chicken started to sizzle as it touched the boiling oil. Shen Huazheng held the spatula in her hand, moving non-stop.
Cook until the chicken changes color and the moisture is slowly dried up.
Qingzhi poured cooking wine, light soy sauce and appropriate amount of sugar into the pot as instructed.
Shen Huazheng poured a little more water into the pot and continued to stir-fry.
The aroma of the chicken continued to overflow from the pot, and the skin had turned slightly yellow.
Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Huazheng asked someone to pour the sauce into the pot and continue stir-frying.
The sauce was poured into the pot and quickly blended with the chicken.
The chicken also slowly changed from light yellow to brown.
Shen Huazheng poured the hazel mushrooms with roots and impurities removed into the pot and stir-fried them with the chicken pieces.
Qingtang followed the instructions, took the water used to soak the hazel mushrooms, and poured it into the pot.
The water soaked with hazel mushrooms is more nutritious than ordinary water, and the stewed soup is also more delicious.
The hazel mushrooms were also poured into the pot. The water covered the chicken pieces and hazel mushrooms, and the pot was full.
Shen Huazheng picked up the lid beside her and covered the pot, then turned to medium heat and started stewing.
"Zheng'er, the vermicelli is ready."
Zhou Ying brought the soaked vermicelli over and put it aside.
"it is good."
Shen Huazheng estimated that the time was about right, so she asked someone to remove the lid of the pot.
As the lid of the pot was opened, an enticing aroma of meat wafted into the air.
The chicken soup in the pot was bright golden yellow, and tiny bubbles were bubbling away.
Shen Huazheng put the vermicelli into the pot. Under the high temperature cooking, the vermicelli was quickly softened and became crystal clear, which looked very pleasing to the eye.
As the pot made a gurgling sound, a rich aroma quickly spread throughout the kitchen, arousing the appetite of everyone in the kitchen.
It smells so good!!!
Shen Huazheng kept an eye on the situation in the pot, and when she saw that it was almost cooked, she added some heat to reduce the sauce, and the chicken stewed with mushrooms was ready.
Zhou Ying looked at the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the pot and couldn't help swallowing.
After boiling, the hazel mushrooms become shiny and turn from their original yellowish brown color to bright black.
The chicken is bright yellow and juicy, the vermicelli is smooth and chewy, the pot is full, it looks very rich and presents a great appearance.
The aroma of hazel mushrooms, chicken and vermicelli mix together to form a sweet and fragrant fragrance that lingers on the tip of your nose.
The appearance and aroma alone are enough to whet your appetite.

food street
Yun Ruo took a bite of the sweet potato cake. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and tasted sweet.
I didn’t expect that such ordinary-looking sweet potato cakes could be so delicious.
I don’t know how this sweet potato cake is made, but it tastes even sweeter than the honey-baked sweet potato just now.
She swallowed the sweet potato cake in her mouth and couldn't help but sigh: "The food court really has all kinds of delicious food."
Princess Lejia and Yun Ruo took a bite and felt that it was warm and firm, with a sweet and soft taste in their mouths. After strolling around the food street for a while and studying the new map for a while, they came to a place where all the food was made of sweet potatoes.
The last time Shen Huazheng took them to the area, all the food was made with milk. Now the food in the area they are in is also made with the same ingredients.
But it’s not milk, but sweet potatoes.
As they looked along, they saw a wide variety of delicious foods made from sweet potatoes.
There are honey baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato glutinous rice porridge, sweet potato balls, sweet potato mash, candied sweet potatoes, salted egg yolk baked sweet potato fries...
There is really nothing that cannot be done, as long as you can imagine it.
Princess Lejia took a sip of pearl milk tea, with a proud look on her face: "In fact, there are many areas in the food court that are still being gradually improved, and many foods and drinks are also being added slowly. Every time I come here, I always find something different, and every time there is a surprise."
Zheng Zheng and A Ying are truly the best friends and best business partners in the world.
They knew she was not good at business, so they took care of everything for her. They would only ask for her opinion when making decisions, or look for her when they needed to draw some picture albums.
She doesn't have to worry about anything else. Zheng Zheng and A Ying will think of all the problems in advance and even think of solutions to the problems.
hehehe~~
Yun Ruo: "It turns out that the princess also feels different. Every time I come here, I always feel that there are changes, and there are always new foods and snacks."
Because of this, she has come to the food court so many times but has never been able to try all the food there.
Yun Ruo even felt that the frequency of new products released in the food court was much higher than when she went to the food court.
Princess Lejia smiled, picked up the sweet potato cake and started eating.
When you take a bite, you will feel it is warm and solid, and your mouth is full of sweetness and tenderness.
After swallowing, the unique sweet aroma of sweet potato still lingers in the mouth for a long time.
It's really delicious.
Yun Ruo picked up the spoon again, scooped a mouthful of sweet potato and glutinous rice porridge, blew on it, and put it into her mouth.
She had had glutinous rice porridge before, but after adding sweet potato cubes, the taste suddenly became different.
After being cooked in porridge water, the sweet potato cubes have a delicate texture and taste glutinous and smooth.
The unique sweetness of sweet potatoes and the fragrance of glutinous rice are perfectly combined together, and the two complement each other.
It makes the porridge richer and softer, more fragrant and smoother in the mouth.
