Chapter 226: Making Dumplings Together, a Must-Do for Newbies!
Weiyang Palace.
Qin Mu is making dumplings with Li Qingluo.
As a welcome ceremony for newcomers joining this new family, making dumplings is already a repertoire, just like the Spring Festival Gala.
Naturally, Qin Mu couldn't neglect it.
And this is the first time Li Qingluo makes dumplings with him.
Therefore, Qin Mu was particularly attentive.
Li Qingluo also studied very seriously.
The dumplings she made were thin in skin, tender in texture, plump in texture, and very beautiful in shape.
Just one look at it will whet your appetite.
"Qingluo, your craftsmanship is great."
Qin Mu praised.
Li Qingluo smiled sweetly and said modestly: "Your Majesty, you praised me so much. I just pinched it randomly."
Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "However, you can also add more fillings to make the dumplings taste better."
Li Qingluo was stunned, blinked, and said with a well-behaved face: "Then... Your Majesty, please teach Qingluo..."
Qin Mu smiled and took the dumpling wrapper handed over by Li Qingluo, and while teaching her how to put the fillings, he said:
"The dumpling wrapper should be soft and even. The most important thing is not to be too thick, and don't add too much water. Otherwise, if the dumpling wrapper is too sticky, it will affect the feel and the wrapping will not be evenly distributed..."
After hearing Qin Mu's explanation, Li Qingluo's face became more and more shy.
She secretly glanced at Qin Mu, who was explaining seriously, her beautiful eyes filled with joy, and her heart filled with ripples...
I saw Qin Mu gently twisting his fingers and gently kneading the dumpling skin very skillfully.
His movements were natural, and every move seemed extremely simple, but was extremely exquisite.
It seems to be full of an elegant rhythm, which is pleasing to the eye and intoxicating.
"this......"
Li Qingluo's heart was beating wildly, and she stared at Qin Mu with burning eyes.
"The dumpling skin should be rolled out like this to make it thinner and closer to the meat..."
"In this way, the meat filling will be better absorbed, and the dumpling skin will stretch more easily..."
........
Qin Mu patiently taught Li Qingluo and passed on almost all his life experience to her.
But Li Qingluo was a little stunned: "Your Majesty, this filling... are you filling it a little too full?"
Qin Mu smiled: "It will taste better this way. Look at the dumplings. They are plump and round. They look very delicious."
Li Qingluo was startled and took a closer look. Sure enough, as Qin Mu said, the dumpling looked very plump, juicy and extremely delicious.
She couldn't help but stretched out a finger and poked it gently.
"Bliss——"
The broth immediately splashed out and flowed from her fingers, dripping onto the table.
"Ah!" Li Qingluo was startled and exclaimed.
Her pretty face flushed, she stood up hurriedly, and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, it was Qing Luo who was rude..."
"It's okay, you can try this again..."
Qin Mu did not blame her for her offensive behavior.
He knew that for Li Qingluo, she had never experienced such rich and delicious dishes, and it was inevitable that she would lose her temper.
Qin Mu smiled and continued to demonstrate and tell her how to prepare the fillings.
Li Qingluo was quick to understand and quickly mastered the trick.
Soon, Li Qingluo was able to learn the skills well, even more perfect than Qin Mu.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and the dumpling wrappers were wrapped perfectly.
The white and fat dumplings floated up from the pot one by one, rolled and fell in the air, it was really beautiful.
"Gulu..."
Li Qingluo was stunned and couldn't help but swallowed, a look of excitement on her beautiful face.
She was born in the royal family of Daqing and had a distinguished status. She had never been exposed to cooking skills. Today, she was able to cook such delicious dishes with her own hands, which made her extremely happy.
Qin Mu was also attracted by Li Qingluo's masterpiece and couldn't help but admire:
“It’s amazing to be able to do it like this for the first time.”
Hearing this, Li Qingluo's pretty face suddenly burned up, her beautiful eyes were twinkling with little stars, and she looked at Qin Mu with admiration and excitement.
Your Majesty is praising her. This is really a great honor.
"Qingluo, try it. This is a delicacy from my hometown." Qin Mu asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Qingluo couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and put it into her mouth. She was stunned for a moment.
"Hiss~~~"
She took a deep breath and her eyes widened.
"What's wrong, Qingluo?" Qin Mu asked with concern.
Li Qingluo's cheeks were bulging, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was intoxicated and joyful.
She puffed up her cheeks, looked a little dazed, and said vaguely: "This...this dumpling..."
"What's wrong with this?" Qin Mu asked.
Li Qingluo took a deep breath to calm down the turbulent emotions in her heart: "This, the taste is really strange..."
"Oh? What a strange method?" Qin Mu asked with interest.
Li Qingluo still couldn't hide her excitement and couldn't help but lick her lips and said: "The taste of the broth in the dumplings is a bit strange, but it can't be said to be delicious..."
"Is it tasty?"
Li Qingluo nodded repeatedly: "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"
It was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life!
Qin Mu smiled softly and said in a doting tone: "Since it tastes good, eat more."
Li Qingluo nodded vigorously, her beautiful eyes curved into moon buds, "Yeah~"
She began to eat hard.
Qin Mu sat aside and watched quietly, feeding from time to time.
For a moment, the only sound in the whole palace was the clinking of chopsticks hitting the plate, a peaceful and comfortable scene.
..........
The night was deep.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a faint light.
Qu Qianyou strolled alone in the imperial garden.
The fragrance of flowers was refreshing.
She shuttled among the flowers, but her mood was extremely complicated.
It was finally over.
But for some reason, she had a faint sense of loss.
This feeling was completely different from any previous time, making her inexplicably irritable.
Qu Qianyou looked down at her slender and straight legs, and a touch of melancholy passed between her eyebrows.
"Oh!"
Suddenly, a crisp low cry interrupted Qu Qianyou's thoughts.
"Who?!" Qu Qianyou turned around suddenly.
I saw a pink little loli with dragon horns walking out from behind the flowers on her left.
The little girl was wearing a plain long skirt, with a petite figure, very lovable.
At this moment, the little girl was tilting her head and looking at Qu Qianyou with her big black and crystal eyes.
Her baby face was pink and looked like an apple, making people want to take a bite.
Qu Qianyou frowned, alert, and shouted coldly: "Where did the little girl come from?!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned.
"Is this... a dragon horn?"
At this moment, Qu Qianyou's pupils shrank suddenly, her heart beat violently, and a strong shock and disbelief emerged in her heart.
Qu Qianyou felt a chill all over her body.
This cute little girl is actually a real dragon?
The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, sister, I don't mean any harm."
Qu Qianyou took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
As a Yellow Spring Spirit Turtle, she knew better than anyone how precious and rare the blood of a true dragon was. The number of true dragons in each generation was extremely small.
Especially young true dragons, which were even rarer and hard to come by.
Unexpectedly, she actually saw a true dragon in the Qin Dynasty...
Qu Qianyou was still shocked when a proud voice came from behind.
"Hey, woman in front, have you seen that stupid Lord of Qin?"
