"Okay, we haven't eaten dumplings for a long time, so it's good to buy meat once in a while to satisfy your cravings." Everyone agreed.

Although Chen Yu often makes his own food in the space, but because it is more troublesome to make dumplings, Chen Yu has not done it a few times, and Chen Yu is still looking forward to the delicious shepherd's cabbage dumplings.

However, the price of buying things in the palace is really too expensive, 11 wen a pound of meat outside is already very good, and in the palace, it costs at least 50 wen to buy from the eunuchs, not to mention that the palace maids in the cold palace have no backers, and they have to be exploited. Coupled with the money for buying flour, this meal still makes several palace maids feel a little heartache, and the palace maids in the cold palace only have half a tael of silver a month, so they can't buy ingredients every day to cook by themselves, if that's the case, the monthly silver is not enough at all.

These women spent their youth to enter the palace, aren't they just to make a little more money, a little more dowry in the future, or to help their families, so they still cherish money. Especially in the cold palace, it is impossible to encounter such a thing as a master's reward, so it is natural to be more frugal.

"Xiaoyu dumplings look so good-looking, does Xiaoyu often make dumplings? How do you feel better than we are? A palace maid said.

"When I used to be at home, I used to help make dumplings at home, so I was more proficient." Chen Yu said.

"I used to have a full meal at home, not to mention dumplings made of flour and meat, which may not even be able to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. Now that I think about it, although after entering the palace, I didn't have a good time. In the cold palace, it is also very hard, but it is still much better than the previous days in my hometown, and then think about it in the cold palace, the security is also very high, at least I don't have to worry about offending which master and attracting punishment. A palace maid said.

"Definitely. Before, because of a palace maid's concubine. You're all very excited, and if you think about it, you'll know that the chances of that are very small. And if it weren't recommended by other concubines, if they made their own decisions, they would be in a desperate situation. Although I have just arrived, I also know that it is not easy for us to be in the cold palace. I'm afraid that no matter how much effort I expend, I won't be able to get what I want. It's better to wait honestly until you leave the palace. Chen Yu said.

Although Chen Yu's words were not good, the hearts of the previous few people had fallen silent, and they could listen to the advice. The reason why I had that kind of thought before was just unwillingness. After all, they basically come to the cold palace to serve because they offend people, and it is not surprising that they have the idea of going out of their way and living a better life.

"We also knew that our previous ideas were not reliable. It's hard to get there, let alone us. is to serve by the master's side, to be able to see the emperor's palace maids, to be truly pampered, and then to become the master? Besides, even if he is named the master, how many people can continue to be favored? Before, we were just dazzled by wealth, but now that we understand it, we won't do stupid things, we are obsessed with how old you are, and we still have to worry about you, which is too undeserved. Several people said.

Chen Yu heard the words of a few people, and put his mind at ease, as long as a few people don't want to fly on the branches to be a phoenix, then everyone is still very safe in this cold palace, although it is said that this place is closed and deserted, but it is not to isolate the hustle and bustle and trouble outside.

"The water is boiling, hurry up and bring the dumplings." A palace maid said.

"Here, bring it right away. Everyone come and help, and you can eat right away. I went to call the housekeeper's aunt together, the housekeeper's aunt has always taken care of us, and also asked the housekeeper's aunt to try it, this is a dumpling made of freshly picked shepherd's cabbage, which is usually not eaten. An older maid said.

Soon the dumplings were in the pot, looking at the bowls of dumplings crystal clear, and they also exuded bursts of fragrance, everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Okay, let's bring it over, you can eat." The palace maid Mei Fang said.

Looking at everyone's happy appearance, Chen Yu also felt that today's dumplings were extremely delicious, after all, delicious food should be eaten together to feel more fragrant, and if you are alone, there is always a lack of atmosphere.

"This year's shepherd's cabbage is particularly delicious, looking at the yard shepherd's cabbage growing very well, and there are a lot of other wild vegetables, when we come to make a wild vegetable feast, I think it should taste good." Palace maid Chunhua said.

"When I was at home before, I still had my sisters at home who often picked wild vegetables to eat when they were ripe, but now I don't know when I will be able to go home, and when I go back, my sisters in the family will probably get married long ago." Zijuan said.

"Zijuan, don't be sad, we can leave the palace at the age of twenty-five, at least there won't be too many accidents in the cold palace, how can we wait until the time to leave the palace peacefully, you haven't seen the unjust soul who died in the palace, we are already lucky." Mei Fang comforted.

"Also, we can't be too greedy, there are gains and losses. It's just that by the time I leave the palace, my cousin will probably be married. Zijuan said.

Seeing that Zijuan is a little lonely, I am afraid that she likes her cousin, but I don't know why she entered the palace as a palace maid, maybe because the family is poor, after all, being a palace maid is better than being sold as a slave. However, Chen Yu didn't think it was a bad thing for Zijuan to miss her cousin, after all, most of the children born to close relatives were not healthy.

As for the age issue, Chen Yu has never been worried, not to mention that Chen Yu's lifespan has reached 500 years old at this time, 25 years old can only be regarded as a beginning, even if it is an ordinary person, in modern times, it is the right age to talk about marriage at the age of twenty-five.

However, the ancient people's views were different, and Chen Yu didn't know how to comfort the other party, but he had already entered the palace, and he could only stay up until it was time to leave the palace, and now he couldn't say anything to go out.

There are more dumplings wrapped today, and there are still a lot left after everyone is full, Chen Yu steamed the remaining dumplings in a pot and stored them, so as not to get together and make a ball that is not delicious. It's also good to cook a pot of porridge tomorrow morning with these steamed dumplings.

Because of the deliciousness of the dumplings, Chen Yu had the idea of making more dumplings in the space and storing them in the warehouse, and if he wanted to eat them in the future, he could take them out and eat them at any time.

The life of the cold palace is very peaceful, Chen Yu did not forget to pay attention to the living conditions of several sisters, and the exploration of spiritual power these days has also discovered a lot of secrets, such as the previous shadow guards, who are actually the emperor's people, that is to say, they can become the emperor's people at the beginning, and I am afraid that the treatment will not be bad at that time.
