The Prime Minister's Mansion in Fengjing City is located in the center closest to the imperial city, and although it is not as majestic as the imperial palace, it is also extraordinary.

The roof within the scope of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the clear water is covered with emerald green glazed tiles, the door is a heavy vermilion lacquer gate, a pair of delicate eight-sided glazed palace lamps are hung under the eaves, and a plaque is hung high above the main entrance, and the book "Prime Minister's Mansion" is written in three strong characters.

Gu Qi unconsciously straightened his clothes again, and walked towards the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just kidding, the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not something that she can walk through as a flat-headed ordinary person, and she can't even enter the side door.

Fortunately, the second lady prepared the waist card of the Prime Minister's Mansion for her in advance, Gu Qi walked to the back door, took out the waist card and showed it to the doorkeeper, and one person led her to the back kitchen.

On the way, although Gu Qi kept her head down all the time, learning the way Mu Xiang gave her to bow, she didn't forget to observe Zaifu with the corner of her eye.

The road she walked did not seem to be the main road, only a few slave-like people walked on the road, and everyone was not smiling, even if they walked, it was quiet and fast, and I was afraid that they did not dare to delay their work at all.

About half a pillar of incense, Gu Qi was led to the position of the back kitchen, and the person who led her over explained a few words to the lady who was in charge of the back kitchen, and then turned around and left.

The lady in the back kitchen smiled at her, and Gu Qi consciously followed forward, and then she got a glimpse of the appearance of the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of this prime minister's house is not too big, there are only three rooms in total, and the housekeeper led her around, which can be regarded as familiarizing her with the familiar environment.

Of the three rooms, one is divided into different categories of fresh food, one has different cooking utensils, and the largest one is the place where the food is cooked.

Gu Qi followed the eldest lady into the last room, which was divided into two rows, the red case on the left and the white case on the right.

The people in the entire back kitchen were busy in an orderly manner, and even if they saw someone coming in, they only bowed slightly and continued to be busy with their work.

The eldest lady led Gu Qi to the last corner of the red stove on the left and said, "Girl, this is your place, you just arrived here, you can be responsible for helping to wash and chop vegetables first." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Gu Qi smiled lightly, and casually stuffed a piece of broken silver into the hand of the housekeeper: "Qiqi has just arrived, and there are still many things I don't understand, so please take care of the steward in the future, please smile at this little bit of heart." ”

The lady in charge looked at the broken silver in Gu Qi's hand, and accepted it without saying anything, but when she left, she told her not to call her in charge, and it was better to call her Aunt Zhou with everyone.

Gu Qi bowed her head, as soon as Aunt Zhou left, she also began to get busy here, there is a way to take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, she will still do the work she should do.

Picked up a bamboo basket from under the stove, Gu Qi took it and walked towards the room that was filled with fresh food before, according to the list made by the chef in charge today, Gu Qi picked and chose the same, until the bamboo basket could no longer be put down, and then returned to the stove room.

She had just noticed that in addition to the place where she lived and cooked, there was also a large sink in the stove, and there was also a water tank near the sink, which was obviously the place where the vegetables were washed.

This Prime Minister's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, although this back kitchen is not big, but it is designed to be extremely convenient, even if it is to wash vegetables, it is much more convenient than ordinary people outside.

So after a while, she put the washed dishes on her own boards, and carefully cut the dishes according to the chef's instructions.

Fortunately, there is no particularly difficult cutting method today, some need slices, some need sections, and some need silk, which is not too difficult to cut, Gu Qi didn't take long to complete the task, and now just wait for the cooks to carve it at noon.

Gu Qi asked Aunt Zhou to see if there was anything else she could help, but Aunt Zhou just shook her head, looked at her approvingly, and told her to rest first, and then if there was still a master to add vegetables to help.

This relationship is good, at least she should have nothing to do before noon, Gu Qi was happy, so she found some dried chili peppers and a stone mortar, and sat on a small bench to pound the chili powder.

Just now when she was in the fresh food room, she found out that there are rare chili peppers in the prime minister's mansion, you must know that chili peppers have not been popularized in this world, ordinary people can't buy them, and she is a person who is not spicy or happy, how can she let go of such a good opportunity.

Gradually, noon approached, and all kinds of fragrances began to waft in the kitchen, as a foodie, Gu Qi was very familiar with these questions, but it was not easy to make them, so taking this opportunity, Gu Qi leisurely licked the chili peppers, while turning his eyes to the various stoves, and his clear eyes recorded the cooking steps of the chefs without blinking.

"Is Aunt Zhou here?"

At some point, there was a man dressed in apricot. The little girl in the colored gauze dress, with a pair of almond eyes, looked for the figure of the kitchen steward from time to time.

As soon as Aunt Zhou, who was still busy, saw this girl, she immediately took two steps and asked the little girl, "Le Lan, is there something wrong?" But what does Young Master Jin want to eat? ”

Le Lan shook her head and said hurriedly: "Aunt Zhou, that's the case, a friend of Young Master Jin suddenly visited today, and Young Master Jin wanted to keep him for dinner, but that person didn't want to eat anything, he just wanted to eat a full house of gold and jade, I don't know what our kitchen might do." ”

Full of gold?

Aunt Zhou looked confused, the name of this dish is good, but I don't know if this is a dish or a dim sum. It's fine if you do it right, but if you do it indiscriminately, when the time comes, you will lose the face of their Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at Aunt Zhou's expression, the apricot also expected that this aunt probably didn't know what it was, so she shouted to the stove room: "But who knows what the golden jade hall is, if there is something that can be done today, Young Master Jin will definitely be rewarded!" ”

What? And that's where the rewards begin?

Gu Qi, who had been sitting on the side silently, touched his eyes with the back of his hand, this friend of the young master Zaifu is also a wonderful, he doesn't eat any good dishes, but he prefers to eat this Laoshizi's golden and jade hall, do you want to remember the bittersweet memories, or do you want to deliberately embarrass the wealthy young master.

Gu Qi put the stone mortar back on the stove without a trace, walked to Aunt Zhou softly, and whispered a few words beside her.

Aunt Zhou's face immediately became energetic, looked at the girl in front of her with burning eyes, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure." Gu Qi nodded affirmatively.

Just kidding, what's so sure about this, isn't it just a full house of gold and jade, I think she didn't make less of this snack in order to save trouble, and she was even a little tired of eating it in the end.

Seeing Gu Qi's confident eyes, Aunt Zhou unconsciously believed her, she already had a plan, if she really guessed correctly, it would be better, if it wasn't right...... Then you can only grieve this girl.
