382, as soon as you enter the palace gate (twenty-three), you will not be ordered, and you will see it tomorrow
Tong Xinlan didn't blame Dongmei for trusting Ruyue so much, and was unwilling to easily listen to her words and stay away from Gao Ruyue, after all, they were masters and servants who had been together for many years.
If Dongmei was not a loyal servant, she would not have been put so far away by Gao Ruyue and waited to be cannon fodder, because she needed to maintain her feelings on a daily basis, and the master would not dare to put her so far.
It is precisely because Dongmei is not so easy to believe in outsiders' words, and she is so similar to Wei Xinlan, that Wei Xinlan will ask Tong Xinlan to protect this girl who is loyal to the wrong person.
"Good. Dongmei could only agree, she had almost lost the ability to think now.
After Dongmei's mood calmed down, Tong Xinlan turned around and went back to Yonghe Palace, the longer she wandered outside, the earlier she returned to Yonghe Palace and wanted to come to him to inquire about Lin Miao, who brought you news, she would be more panicked because she couldn't find her again, of course, Tong Xinlan didn't know if Lin Miao would come to her, but she just felt that someone like Lin Miao might come to test her.
Can't go back to Yonghe Palace too late, Tong Xinlan went back according to the time, and sure enough, she met Xiao Mengzi and cautiously came to tell her the news, "Grandpa Lan, Xiao Linzi came to you three times." ”
"Oh, what's his expression?" Tong Xinlan felt that she had done too many tasks, and sure enough, she began to darken her belly, and she was very much looking forward to Lin Miao's appearance being tortured by her own thoughts, which may also be affected by the client's personality.
"He, the first time his expression was polite, the second time he looked indifferent, the third time, a little panicked, I saw Xiao Linzi not smiling for the first time. ”
"Good work. In the future, I will be bothered that Grandpa Meng will keep an eye on him, I don't have any good objects here, this is a magnolia flower jade pendant bought outside the palace, if Grandpa Meng doesn't dislike it, take it to play. ”
Although Xiao Mengzi is the person assigned by Mama Chen to help, maybe she was also sent by Concubine De, so she doesn't need to pay her own salary, but Tong Xinlan knows that in the palace, she can't take other people's contributions for granted, and she should still give benefits to her.
Therefore, Tong Xinlan took off the jade pendant she bought out of the palace from her belt and handed it to Xiao Mengzi. The objects outside the palace are certainly not as valuable as those in the palace. But it's better than the tricks, and it's still okay to play with it.
Xiao Mengzi didn't shirk it, Grandpa Lan has always been a generous person, and if he shirked it, he didn't appreciate it. but they have offended men. happily accepted the jade pendant.
You have to bring the news that the people who have been in the way have been removed and can go to see Concubine De. Tong Xinlan entered Concubine De's bedroom and briefly reported to her about today's events.
"Well, Xiao Lanzi did a good job. Go ahead, and let this daring guy take advantage of me to make a good deal of it. Concubine De was very satisfied with Wei Xinlan's performance.
If other people knew that the person they originally regarded as a benefactor was actually the murderer who had been calculating their own family, they might go crazy and lose their minds to retaliate, but Wei Xinlan was very sensible, not only did not show the slightest emotional fluctuation, but also designed traps for the other party step by step.
It's a pity, Concubine De raised her eyebrows and looked at the sky and drank a glass of green plum wine.
When Tong Xinlan returned to the house, she transcribed the two Cantonese recipes in her memory.
Concubine De does have a lot of books here, and there are also books about local customs and food, but there is no specific Cantonese cuisine, Tong Xinlan is not afraid of Concubine De's question, he went out of the palace to chat with the master of Cantonese cuisine, just to deal with Concubine De's possible inquiry, and Dongmei, but there is no way to verify the origin of Cantonese recipes.
After looking for a time, Tong Xinlan sent the recipes of the two dishes over, no matter what, this recipe must be written, and it has to be old, so as not to cause more trouble, in the palace, you have to be careful about what you do.
Braised pigeon and white-cut chicken, both of which are His Majesty's favorite dishes.
Dongmei has served Gao Ruyue for so many years, and she also knows two words, but when Tong Xinlan handed over the recipe to Dongmei, she still explained the method to her, Tong Xinlan vaguely remembered that there was a cook who was very strict with teaching her to cook, and she must have a good attitude towards cooking, although she didn't remember clearly who that person was, Tong Xinlan also wanted to explain the recipe of this dish.
Although, the purpose of these two dishes this time is not good, it is to deceive Gao Ruyue, it doesn't matter whether these two dishes are done well or not, but Tong Xinlan still hopes that she will not be so hasty.
Because she is not a eunuch in the imperial dining room now, it is impossible to go to the imperial dining room to borrow kitchen utensils to teach Dongmei to cook, if she really teaches, it will have a great impact on the plan in the future, and it will be extremely disadvantageous to be stamped with the hat of speculating about the sacred heart.
Therefore, what will happen to these two dishes in the end depends on the results of Dongmei's own practice, before leaving, Tong Xinlan also gave some money for Dongmei to take care of the grandmother who manages the ingredients, and let her take a few more dishes to practice.
In the following days, Tong Xinlan didn't leave the palace anymore, and she seemed to have fallen out of favor, so she was ordered to fill in the small garden that lacked people after Xiao Linzi left, and became a flower eunuch.
If it weren't for the words he said two days ago that made Xinmiao suspicious of Gao Ruyue, Tong Xinlan dared to guarantee that her life would not be easy in the past two days, but Lin Miao's mind was wondering if she had entered the palace because of the Gao family, and she couldn't spare the energy to toss Tong Xinlan, even if she wanted to ask something, Concubine De wouldn't give him a chance to leave her at all.
Concubine De's trick is also a loss, knowing that Lin Miao is eager to find Wei Xinlan to explore, she just pulls him, first, not letting him go to Wei Xinlan to solve his doubts now, and second, not letting him find Gao Ruyue on the fire will reveal his stuffing.
And when Lin Miao was cooled for two days, when he brewed his emotions and dissatisfaction deeper, Concubine De would naturally let him out, otherwise who would play the next good show.
Dongmei practiced a few two dishes in her spare time, and felt that the taste was not bad, so she found Gao Ruyue with the braised pigeon and white-cut chicken she made, and according to what Wei Xinlan said, she handed over the crooked recipe she wrote to Gao Ruyue, and talked about the practice of "imperial kitchen".
Gao Ruyue is also in a hurry, it is less than a year before she leaves the palace, if she can't be taken by His Majesty the Emperor, so many plans made before will become a joke. And her father is still waiting for her to shine on the lintel and bring down the bastard who targeted their Gao family, doesn't he just rely on his daughter to be a palace concubine, and always doesn't take her father in his eyes, as if he didn't have a penny greedy.
After tasting the two dishes served by Dongmei, Gao Ruyue felt that the taste was still good, different from the dishes in Beijing, the taste was very light, but it would not be dull and tasteless, precisely because there was no enlarged material. It's basically made with pigeons and roosters. The taste is more delicious.
"Dongmei, you did a very good job, I thought you would help me?" Gao Ruyue was so moved that she looked at Dongmei with bright eyes, looking very sincere.
After looking at the handwriting on the recipe, it was indeed Dongmei's calligraphy that she couldn't handle. Gao Ruyue folded the paper and put it in her sleeve. Carrying the basket, he blamed himself and said to Dongmei. "Dongmei, it's really hard for you to steal vegetables. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have taken this risk to learn how to cook, these days, I'm really worried about what will happen to you stupid girl, if you really have an accident, I'll really be a sinner. ”
Dongmei saw Gao Ruyue thanking herself like this, the sincerity in her eyes didn't seem to be a fake, and she remembered the bits and pieces of being with Gao Ruyue over the years, although Miss was willful, she beat and scolded her, but which maid was not scolded? Miss can be regarded as a kind person, she has never killed anyone, so at most it is a rude young lady's temper, where can she have such a scheming to harm herself?
If Miss had such a scheming, she would not have been calculated when she was drafted.
Perhaps, Wei Xinlan is thinking too much, Dongmei comforted herself so much in her heart, and the young lady blamed herself so much, obviously she was wrong, and said that even if it was not a master-servant relationship, she would take care of Ruyue, "Ruyue, don't you blame me, you haven't thought about it, in case, won't I help you? Then you are not worried in vain." ”
Gao Ruyue pursed her lips and smiled, "How can you worry, Dongmei will definitely help me, you have treated me as a sister since I was a child, for fear that I will fall and drink water and burn. Kicking the quilt at night and catching a cold, I believe that even if we all grow up, you will still treat me like this, and, now in the palace, the two of us can rely on each other, the other people are all knowing people and faces, who knows whether they are reliable or not, where can we compare to the two of us who know the roots, you help me, I help you, that's right, if you don't help me, it's impossible, you have been like my sister all these years, you say yes. ”
Gao Ruyue's words looked at the front, there was a strong smell of I trust you in the words, Dongmei felt that she was naturally very happy to be trusted by Ruyue, as soon as she met Gao Ruyue, Dongmei subconsciously became the little maid who needed to be praised by her master, and she didn't hear Gao Ruyue just ate her attitude.
was still happy that he was trusted by Gao Ruyue, but Gao Ruyue's next sentence brought Dongmei back to reality.
"Dongmei, are you nervous about stealing cooking?"
Seeing that Gao Ruyue was so nervous about herself, and now she was still worried about her state at the time, Dongmei was embarrassed to lie to her that she was nervous, because she didn't learn cooking skills at all, of course, she didn't tell the truth stupidly, Dongmei still hoped that Ruyue and Wei Xinlan would be able to resolve the misunderstanding in the future, so she was relieved, "It's okay, the imperial chef is very serious when he cooks, and besides, I don't learn every dish, so I found an opportunity to watch him make these two, and I didn't dare to be greedy." ”
"Then it seems that the imperial dining room is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and the imperial chefs still trust you, and the inside is not tight, then I will rest assured. Gao Ruyue's eyes rolled, and Dongmei only felt that it was good that she had recovered her good mood.
"The imperial dining room is a kitchen, not a prison, how can someone stare at me all the time, and others will only stare at the food served to the nobles. Dongmei said funny.
"Then it seems that I am worried in vain. Gao Ruyue pouted, as if she felt that her kindness had been trampled by Dongmei.
"Dongmei, these two dishes you make are really delicious, although I haven't eaten the imperial chef's cooking, but I think it will definitely not be worse than the imperial chef's, how many times have you practiced to make such a level?" Gao Ruyue asked tentatively.
Dongmei also thought that Gao Ruyue was praising her, and she didn't realize that Gao Ruyue was tempting her to speak, "I'm very busy during the day, I don't have time to practice, and besides, the ingredients of Cantonese cuisine are prepared in the palace for nobles to eat, and it is very difficult to practice." ”
"Although it is difficult, Dongmei still got the ingredients, my Dongmei is the most capable!" Gao Ruyue praised Dongmei, and said in the next sentence, "I'm terrible, although I want to study, but now I think that there are no ingredients to practice at all?" Even Dongmei is so powerful, it also takes practice to make these two dishes, I'm afraid, there are more ingredients needed, but where to find the ingredients, my little master doesn't have a small kitchen, woo woo, wasted Dongmei's efforts, you took the risk to learn and write down the recipes, and now, I don't have the ingredients to practice, I blame me for not being thoughtful. ”
Ingredients!
You must know that the ingredients used in the imperial dining room are not ordinary materials, even if they are ordinary materials, the internal affairs office responsible for procurement can also report a few pennies and ten eggs to one or two silver and an egg.
Although the rooster does not lay eggs, but the wife and hen of the rooster lay eggs, and the eggs laid by others are worth a tael of silver, and as a rooster, it is even more valuable.
Then the pigeon, it is carefully bred to feed the nobles, ordinary people are reluctant to eat an egg, not to mention the pigeon used by the official family to send letters, dare not touch, lest it be like the village killed the cow without reporting to immediately pull it to cut off the head, the pigeon is more precious than the rare animal in the poultry such as the cow.
The price, not to mention.
If it weren't for Tong Xinlan giving Dongmei a large sum of silver in advance to honor her grandmother, in addition to the cost of buying materials and practice, the rest of the money would be to honor the grandmother who was in charge of the ingredients, so that she would turn a blind eye and keep quiet.
That grandmother is very greedy, the silver that Dongmei got in her hand has long been squeezed dry by her, where does Dongmei still have the money to help Gao Ruyue buy ingredients.
"Ruyue, don't be sad, I don't have anything, anyway, there is no accident, besides, you are about to leave the palace, you will have a chance to practice when you go home." Dongmei also comforted Ruyue in turn.
"How can it be the same? Although the little lord treats me well, I am still very grateful to her for taking care of me in the past two years, and a few of the other show girls who also failed to make the selection are still alive. Of course, Gao Ruyue didn't really thank the little master, she felt that she was able to survive because she was smart.
Which of the show girls who entered the palace didn't want to climb the emperor's bed?
However, those dead undrafted girls were stupid to death by themselves, thinking that they could avoid the eyes of the master and go to the imperial garden to "meet" the emperor, hehe, such a fool was either seen through by the emperor and killed, or was killed by other girls.
Without a complete means, she will not waste her time if she is as tall as the moon. (To be continued.) )
