Chapter 43: The Chef

In fact, as soon as he saw the words on the list, Yuan Ge knew that it was written by Emperor Qiyuan himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info think about it, too, if he is asked to report the names of the dishes one by one and let the people who serve them record, the scene will definitely make people laugh.

The most important thing is that Emperor Qiyuan didn't like the dishes on this list. Although he didn't eat many ingredients, he didn't have so many, and after a glance, she felt that there were more than 100 kinds of dishes on it.

Fortunately, it is only more than 100 kinds of dish names, not more than 100 kinds of ingredients, otherwise the chef and eunuch in her small dining room are afraid that they will be in a hurry to hang themselves. But even now, he must be in a hurry to run around in the small dining room.

The chef eunuch in Fengyang Palace is surnamed Pang, and his body is strong and fat, so he has a nickname called Fat Eunuch. In the past few lifetimes, Yuan Ge has changed many people who have served, but her chef and eunuch have never changed.

In the first life, she was confined in Danyang Palace, and she couldn't step out of the back. In addition to the green and green in Danyang Palace, there are two other palace maids who are relatively close to her side, and the others are jumping around to make Yinzi find a way, trying their best to jump out of Danyang Palace, which has become a cage.

But even though the dinette had been reduced to only three people, the fat eunuch remained, and the meal he made was not fooled. Sometimes in the cold winter, I can serve her a plate of verdant fresh vegetables every once in a while.

After being reborn, Yuan Gezhao saw him once, a person who was nearly fifty years old, and he still had the naΓ―ve attitude of a young man. She smiled lightly and gave a reward, and let him go down. She hadn't summoned him in this life, and she must have been worried about whether she would change his position as the chef.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ge put down his pen with a smile, and said to Cuinong, who was waiting for the pen and ink on the side: "Cuinong, take ten taels of silver to the chef, just say that let him do it according to the menu with peace of mind, and the emperor and I know his loyalty." ”

Cuinong also saw the list of dishes, pursed her lips and showed a smile when she heard the words, and said, "Yes, master, the slave and maid will go." ”

After Cuinong left, Qing Yu immediately walked in from the door, stood on the side of the table and said cautiously: "Master, if you have something, tell the slave maid." ”

"yes, okay." Seeing that Qing Yu was nervous, Yuan Ge gave a smile.

Picking up the pen again, Yuan Ge wrote four words in a deep voice.

Hoisted by his own petard.

Since Emperor Qiyuan was so afraid that she would find out his preferences, he took great pains to write the names of those many dishes himself, so as long as he was in Fengyang Palace from now on, he would even have to smell the taste of these dishes depending on whether she was in a good mood.

In the short term, at least in the past three years, Emperor Qiyuan has to pretend to be deeply affectionate to her. After that, the two of them had more opportunities to eat together, not just dinner.

On the other side, Cuinong carried silver, followed by two little palace maids, and the group arrived at the small dining room of Fengyang Palace under the eyes of everyone. It's just surprising that Eunuch Pang, who is in charge of the kitchen, is not here.

"Where's Chef Pang?" Cui Nong looked at the sous chef and asked.

The sous chef said with a smile on his face: "Chef Pang just got the menu, and he was in a hurry to run around the house. Then he sat with a bitter face for a while, took out the gray money bag he had with his savings, took care of himself refreshingly, and went to the Yushan room.

"Miss Cuinong, but what does the master want to eat and drink? As long as I give an order, although my old money is not as good as Master Pang, he also has his own unique secret skills. ”

Cui Nong frowned and said, "He went out alone?" ”

The assistant chef was stunned for a moment before he said: "How can it, he took the little apprentice with him, saying that he learned from the experience to understand the emperor's taste, he was afraid that he would not serve the emperor well and make the emperor uncomfortable eating in Fengyang Palace." ”

Hearing this, Cui Nong's face looked better, you must know that the master set the rules yesterday, saying that as long as he left the gate of Fengyang Palace, the two of them must go together. If someone dares to break the rules today, I'm afraid that they will have to kill the chicken and respect the monkey.

"Since I am not here, then I will go back to my master to resume my life. When Pang Zhang's cupboard returned, he told him and asked him to remember to come to the master to reply. ”

"Definitely, definitely." The sous chef stammered: "Miss Cuinong, it's really hard for you to help the master run errands, if you want to eat something, you can make small ones." ”

Cui Nong had never seen anyone slap her like this, she was a little uncomfortable but she could only hold on, and said with a stiff face: "I don't dare to say that I am tired of doing errands for the master, you remember to tell Yu Pang to cook it." ”

"Of course, you won't dare to forget, Miss Cuinong is easy to go."

Later, Yuan Ge learned about the situation, and didn't say anything, only smiled and said: "In this case, then when he comes back, you can give him the silver directly, and you don't need to bring it to see me." ”

"Yes, master."

In the summer dining room, it was as hot as a steamer, and everyone standing in the room looked as if they had just been fished out of the water. If you get used to staying in it all the time, it's fine, but if you sweat, you have to come out to wipe your sweat and wash your hands before you can go in again.

If you don't, the sweat will be thrown into the dish, and if the masters will be unclean and unwell, it will really be a headshot. It's just that everyone comes out and goes in again, and that feeling is worse than death.

Eunuch Pang took the little apprentice and hurried all the way to the imperial dining room, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He took out a dusty handkerchief and wiped it on his forehead, took a deep breath, stood at the door of the imperial dining room, and said to a little eunuch who was choosing vegetables: "Little brother, go in and tell me, just say that Lao Pang is looking for Brother Big Hat." ”

The little eunuch sighed lazily, but sat there without moving for a long time.

Eunuch Pang's little apprentice's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to scold a few words but was stopped, Eunuch Pang took out a small piece of silver and threw it to the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "Just ask the little brother to run." ”

The little eunuch who took the silver responded very cheerfully this time: "Okay, let's go." Then he got up and turned and went inside.

After a while, a eunuch came out of it, his face was red and shiny, and he hurriedly walked over and grabbed Eunuch Pang to stand in the corner, and asked in a low voice, "Pang Zi, what are you doing with me?" But what's the matter? That new master is not good to serve? ”

"Neither." Eunuch Pang shook his head and said, "I just don't know the bottom of my heart, I want you to help me talk to Brother Liu, there is something that really makes my heart weak today." ”

"Brother Liu is by the emperor's side, he must know something. Brother Big Hat, you and he are fellow villagers, and you will definitely say it. ”

Brother Big Hat didn't ask what it was, frowned and thought about it: "I can't tell you about this matter clearly, you go back and wait for it first, and then I will lead you over to see him in person, and then ask yourself." ”
