Chapter 356: Sincerity

In the past few days, as soon as the emperor's holy will came out, Lu Ying's sky completely collapsed.

She locked herself in the house and didn't dare to go out at all. But even so, the cynicism of the family still poured in from all directions, slashing at her heart one by one.

Only her mother, Lu Wenshi didn't say anything to her, "It's okay not to enter the palace, find someone to marry earlier, and live a peaceful and stable life is serious." ”

How naΓ―ve! Lu Ying thought, with what good family can she marry now? I'm afraid that if you want to be a concubine, you have to be picked. Of course, if she completely abandons the capital and goes far away, she may be able to make a chance to survive, but how can she be willing?

In her life, although she is not very old, since she was sensible, she has worked hard to enter the palace to take charge of the imperial dining room and become the leader of the world's cooks.

The inheritance of the Lu family taught her that only in the imperial dining room can she have access to the top ingredients and cook the most extreme deliciousness. And her own experience was even more bloody, and she was taught that only by climbing higher could she reach the most powerful people and become a respected cook.

Now, if she leaves the capital, at most she will marry someone who opens a restaurant, and then work with him to make the business bigger. But so what? It's just a richer cook, even if he meets a sesame petty official of eight or nine grades, he still has to nod his head and bow down.

Lu Ying don't want this.

What she wants to do is to stand above everyone and win the favor of the saints, whether it is cooking skills or Lu Ying, who has a certain weight in the court. She wants people to look up to, not a restaurant owner who calculates to come and go for a few taels of silver all day long.

So at this moment she knelt down and knocked her head down.

Although the floor is not cold. The carpet was also very soft, but the feeling of humility and humiliation still pierced deep into her heart like a small burr on the carpet.

But at this moment, she also silently told herself that she would find all this in the future, and she had to be patient. Even if it wasn't from Nian Fu, she would be compensated by others.

Nianfu is not a roundworm in her stomach, I don't know what she really thinks, but she has always been arrogant and arrogant, she can actually kneel in front of her and call herself a slave. Blessing is in the dark. I also feel a little vigilant.

A person who is too strong is not terrible, but what is terrible is someone who can do whatever it takes to achieve an end. But she didn't need to know how much sincerity Lu Ying had in her heart, as long as she was forced to kneel and kowtow, it would be enough to make her breathe a bad breath.

"Miss Lu. Don't blame me for not helping you. It's what you feel. How much money can you come up with to calm the emperor's anger? ”

Lu Ying was stunned. Her face changed, could it be that she suffered this humiliation in vain today?

"What does the county lord mean?"

"I want to punish you with the emperor's wisdom. It is not for you to take money to atone for your sins, but to teach you a lesson. Miss Lu, since you came in, have you ever admitted your fault for what you did? Burning goose paws and killing deer for rebirths may be able to cook the ultimate delicacy, but don't you think it's too cruel? Although they are livestock, they are also a living being, so they are tortured and killed, you are a girl, how can you do it? ”

Lu Ying was speechless, her face was flushed, and she was so hot that even Yu Sansheng couldn't sit still, got up and knelt down and said, "It's my disciple who has no way!" ”

Nianfu personally walked out and helped Yu Sansheng up, and sighed, "I know that Master Yu is a kind-hearted person, and you can't teach this kind of dish anyway, and you won't teach it at all." ”

"It's all the slave's fault, it's the slave who wants to be in the limelight, so he will be confused for a while and do such a thing." was forced to say such a thing, Lu Ying was so embarrassed that she wanted to die!

In this way, even when Yu Sansheng closed the door, he didn't say it to her. Although she realized it in her heart, she pretended to ignore it when no one said anything. Anyway, she's already been punished, shouldn't she be able to atone for her sins?

But now he was ruthlessly pierced by Nianfu, making Lu Ying feel as if he had been forcibly stripped of his clothes and nailed in front of everyone. Although Nianfu didn't use a vicious and dirty word, it was more powerful than all the curses she had heard, and it was like a whip that was bloody on her heart, beating her to the ground. I just don't have the face to stay any longer, and I can't wait to leave right away.

Looking at her face now, Nianfu felt that she had finally learned a lesson. So the conversation changed, "But to say that Miss Lu is such a good cook, it seems a bit of a pity if it is buried here." ”

As if she was in a desperate situation, Lu Ying had some hope again, and only listened to the blessing of the Dao, "But Miss Lu wants to get the emperor's understanding, and she has to show some sincerity, so that I can speak for you." Otherwise, with just that money, do you think you can impress Your Majesty? ”

Sincerity? What sincerity?

Lu Ying was at a loss, but Yu Sansheng's eyes lit up, "That's right! Now that the emperor is worried about the lack of food, it is better for you to go back and collect more old mung beans and be more fans, this is the big problem to solve the emperor. ”

Be a fan? Lu Ying was still a little unconvinced, but Nianfu nodded and said approvingly, "Master Yu's method is very good, even if Miss Lu can't donate 10,000 taels of gold, she can donate 10,000 catties of fans made by herself at once, and I think it will make the emperor dissipate his anger." ”

Mind you, she doesn't guarantee anything.

But Lu Ying thought that she could help her say good things if she was a fan, so she gritted her teeth and agreed, "The slave will go back and do it." ”

"Wait." Nian Fu ordered the person to take out all the generous gifts she sent, and smiled slightly, "Please take these things back Miss Lu, if you really have the heart, it is better to replace them all with mung beans as fans, I am even happier to watch." ”

Lu Ying was a little ashamed, Nianfu is now wearing all the imperial system in the palace, where can she still see such an idea from her family? lowered his eyebrows and put the things away, planning to go back and be a good fan and send it to Nianfu.

With hope in his heart, he will have the energy to work, anyway, Lu Ying still has some money in his hands, and soon collected thousands of catties of old mung beans on the market and came back to become a fan.

It's not very difficult, but Lu Ying won't. When the Imperial Dining Room studied this matter before, she thought that the technical content was low. I'm not interested, but now if I want to learn, I have to go to the fan workshop that the imperial dining room is now dedicated to.

In such a cold day, making vermicelli is not a trivial job, you have to wash and grind it repeatedly in cold water, so after initially determining the vermicelli method, Yu Sansheng handed over this piece to the young chefs to hone their will and patience.

Lu Ying used to be the best among them, and she has always been treated with special privileges, where is she willing to do these things? But now she has become a street rat, if it weren't for Yu Sansheng's face, she wouldn't even have the opportunity to learn.

At that moment, some people who were angry with her teased. "Yo. Isn't this Miss Lu? Why didn't you come here instead of being an errand in front of the Queen Mother? What might you do without your knives? ”

Lu Ying said in a humiliated and humiliated low voice, "Senior brother said that he was laughing. I'm just here to learn to be a fan. What else do you bring with you? ”

"Ho. It's really rare, to hear you call me senior brother. Since you have said so, you can't be embarrassed by being a senior brother. Go wash those mung beans out, and remember not to mix them with sand. ”

Asking her to do such rough work as sand panning? Lu Ying waited for a long time, but no one helped her speak, and in the end she went, and a pair of hands with fine skin and tender flesh shrank when she touched the cold water.

Someone teased, "If you can't do it, don't force it." ”

Lu Ying gritted her teeth and put her hand in again, and within half an hour, her hands were numb from the cold, and she was completely unconscious. Even her clothes were wet a lot, and she shivered with cold, but if she wanted to learn to be a fan, she had to endure it.

β€»

Lu Ying didn't know how to endure hardships and sins in the imperial dining room, and she was not interested in taking care of it, she was busy researching pastries for Old Lady Ouyang's birthday recently.

Although the cake is delicious, Ouyang Kang told her that her grandmother doesn't like eggs very much, and it is estimated that her physique is a little allergic, and she is prone to diarrhea if she eats too much. In addition to the fresh orange steamed eggs made by Nianfu in the past, the small ones are willing to eat one or two bites, and the others are basically not touched.

If Nianfu bakes a pure egg cake, no matter how beautiful it is, it is estimated that the old lady will not have the blessing to consume, but what kind of birthday cake can she make?

went to ask Zhu Silin for advice, and dumped her with a word, "Think about it yourself." As soon as I say it, I frame your thoughts, and you have to think for yourself to make progress. ”

I didn't even give a hint, I was too stingy. Turning his head and looking for someone again, "Aunt Zhao, you are well-informed, can you help me think about how to have a special pastry?" ”

Hearing Nianfu ask about this during the break to learn the rules, Zhao Shanggong smiled, "Even if the slave maid has seen some of the world, it is also given by the master, where can I talk about being well-informed?" The county lord should ask someone else. But if it's a birthday celebration, it's still the most decent longevity peach, and someone once made a sacrifice to the queen mother of eight treasure filling......"

Zhao Shanggong suddenly choked up when he said this, it was Lu Ying who made the Eight Treasures Shou Peach, and it was too unlucky to mention it now, so he hurriedly changed his sentence, "Do you want to make a longevity noodle?" ”

Nianfu shook his head, the old lady is used to eating rice all her life, and she doesn't like pasta, even if Shou Tao Shou noodles are good, they are still a surface light, and the old lady will not like it.

"Cousin, what are you worried about?" As soon as the curtain moved, it was Kang Jierong who came. Always smile so gently and amiably that people can't refuse.

Mu Shaoqin deliberately arranged their family very far away, just not wanting them to move around more, but this Kang Jierong is not afraid of hard work, since she got acquainted with Nianfu, she will walk a pillar of incense every day to come over to greet Mu Shaoqin and his wife, and talk to Nianfu.

Originally, she asked her if she wanted a sedan chair, but Kang Jierong politely refused, saying that she could move around like this every day to strengthen her body. knew that she didn't want Aunt Kang and her father to take advantage of this, which made Nianfu's impression of her three points better. I only felt that the bamboo was a good bamboo shoot, but I didn't expect that a few elders like the Kang family would raise such good brothers and sisters as Kang Shoujing and Kang Jierong.

So at this moment, she came and didn't hide it, "It's nothing, but I'm talking about some special rice cakes." ”

Kang Jierong gave Zhao Shanggong another salute, and then pursed her lips and smiled, "If you say anything else, it's okay, I ate this rice cake in the countryside before." I don't know how people do it, there are nine layers, red, yellow, blue and green, you can cut and eat together, or you can uncover layer by layer to eat, it is very beautiful. ”

Really? Nianfu is interested, what is that?

(After watching the tip of the tongue in the last episode, I was very drooling at the beautiful nine-layer cake, but then I asked Du Niang, saying that in addition to being good-looking, this kind of cake actually tastes similar to the taste of the hair cake, and I was immediately disillusioned.) Then Guizi thought, what if you combine it with the cake method? Waiting for the occasional innovation~~ A chapter today, because the day before yesterday was late, and yesterday the whole was late, only 2 more were written, so that the occasional save a more vacation, and strive for more yards tomorrow to add more.
