Chapter 675: So Many…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Yu Hongyan returned from Tian’s house, she asked Xue Erfu to dig up the lemon tree and plant it. The pregnant woman liked to eat it, so there would definitely be other pregnant women in the family in the future.
Xue Erfu left and Xue Yifu went with him.
Although they had dug up all seven lemon trees, they did not want to plant so many. They thought that one or two would be enough. They asked the villagers if they wanted one, and only Li Qingshu’s family wanted one. No one else was willing to take it. They said that it was better to plant orange trees. At least the oranges could still be sweet. This was too sour. They were already so yellow, but they were still so sour.
After giving one to Li Qingshu’s family, there were still six more at home. Liu Guixia thought that it would be a waste, so she planted two in the yard of the old house, two in the front yard of the new house, and two in the backyard.
On this day, Liu Guixia, Xue Dafu, and Xue Erfu went to the workshop to make rice noodles. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also went to help for a while in the morning, but Jiang Yue said that she had figured out a new dish and wanted to come back and try it out. Xue Yan came back with her before lunch was made at home.
Seeing Jiang Yue take two lemons, Xue Yan understood what she wanted to do and instantly fell silent.
Jiang Yue looked at him.
Xue Yan already felt sour.
Even though he had yet to taste how sour a lemon was.
Jiang Yue was still looking at him, but she said, “Do you think this will all go into one dish? If both lemons were added to a dish, it would indeed be very sour.
“Didn’t you say you were going to make a new dish?” Xue Yan’s voice was a little weak.
“I know how to make a few dishes.”
Xue Yan unconsciously let out a breath. Adding a little into a dish should not be too bad. She said before that this lemon could remove the fishy smell and odor of food, making food taste better.
Seeing Jiang Yue go to the kitchen, he followed silently behind her.
In the kitchen, Hongyan and Miao Han were there.
Lunch was about to be prepared. Today, Hongyan and Miao Han were going to make lunch. Xue Shi was sent to the small house at the back. The Empress liked Xue Shi quite a bit. Xia Han and the others would tease Xue Shi and help take care of him.
Seeing that Jiang Yue was going to make a few new dishes, Yu Hongyan immediately smiled and said, “Then Miao Han and I will help you out. Xue Yan, you don’t have to stay here. It’s too oily.”
“Okay.” Only then did Xue Yan walk out of the kitchen and return to his room. He sat in front of the desk again and started to draw something.
In the kitchen, Miao Han saw Jiang Yue holding two lemons in her hands and immediately understood. “Jiang Yue, are you going to add lemons to the dishes?”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue nodded. “I want to try it and see if it tastes good.”
“It’ll definitely become more sour with the lemons. I won’t dare to say anything else, but Hehua and my master will definitely like to eat it. My master really liked the lemons. Even if she’s weak, she doesn’t dare to eat too much. She can only eat half a piece a day.” Miao Han smiled.
“Even if Hehua is in good health now, she won’t dare to eat too much of this. No matter what, it’s better not to eat too much of something.” Yu Hongyan smiled. “Moreover, they’re pregnant. They have to be even more careful with their consumption.”
“Exactly.” Miao Han agreed.
It was a new dish, but it was not that new. Yu Hongyan and Miao Han could actually make it, but it might not be as good as Jiang Yue’s.
The food they made was delicious at best, but the presentation could not compete with Jiang Yue’s.
Jiang Yue’s dishes were usually delicious.
As Yu Hongyan and Miao Han assisted Jiang Yue, they learned from her until Jiang Yue finished cooking the lemon chicken, lemon ribs, steamed lemon fish, and lemon braised pork. Not only did it smell very fragrant, but it was also beautifully arranged. Miao Han felt that it looked as good as the imperial chefs in the palace..
