After the overseer left, Gu Yunxi slept peacefully, and after lying down for a while, he got up and freshened up, changed into men's clothes, and ran to the small kitchen to work on lunch.

The three cooks in the southern courtyard were respectful to Gu Yunxi, it was up to her what she wanted to do, and she could just pick up the ingredients she wanted to use and give them to her.

Today, she is going to make honey-stuffed pork ribs, chestnut roast chicken, and sour radish duck soup for the Overseer. The three cooks gave her a hand, and by the way, gave her some tips on the selection of accessories and cooking heat.

After the three types of raw meat are finely cut, they are soaked in salted cold water for an hour to draw out the blood in the meat. In order to prevent faint blood, Gu Yunxi asked the cooks to do it for him.

The soaked ribs, chicken and duck are placed in separate piles and blanched in boiling water to remove the blood foam.

The honey vinegar pork ribs are relatively complicated, you need to put the blanched pork ribs into a casserole, add green onions, ginger slices, bay leaves, nutmeg, rice wine, and sauce meat and simmer for an hour.

After the casserole was on fire, Gu Yunxi used this time to start stewing chicken.

Pour oil into an iron pan and pour in the powdered rock sugar when the oil is hot. Place the chicken pieces and rummage through them until they are all stained with dark brown sugar. Add the ingredients for stewed pork ribs to the iron pot of stewed chicken, add water, sprinkle in the yellow chestnut kernels and stew.

Next up is the duck soup with sour radish. This soup tastes sour and slightly spicy, the duck meat is cold and bloody, and the duck meat is drunk in the soup in late autumn, which nourishes the stomach but does not get hot.

Put green onions and ginger slices in the crockpot, put in the blanched duck pieces, point less than rice wine, mix with water to cover the duck pieces, cover the lid and simmer for a quarter of an hour.

After boiling the duck soup, Gu Yunxi went to see the chestnut chicken again.

There wasn't much soy sauce soup left in the wok, and the pan was steaming hot, and the aroma of chestnut oil came out. Chicken is easy to cook, and if it is stewed too much, it will become old and affect the taste.

Gu Yunxi put a pinch of salt in the iron pot, turned the frying spoon a few times, and then put the chestnut stewed chicken out of the pot and put it on a large plate.

Then look at the duck soup in the crockpot. The water is boiling and the soup is white, and the heat is just right, which is the time to put the sour radish. The sour radish cubes are marinated in white vinegar and sugar in the small kitchen, and are prepared all year round. The square radish pieces are white in color and sour and fresh, which is very different from those bought on the street. The duck soup was filled with sour radish pieces, bamboo shoot slices, and black fungus and stewed, and Gu Yunxi stir-fried two seasonal vegetables at this time.

Look back at the casserole on the fire. The ribs inside are fully cooked, remove the pot with a grate and drain the soup.

Put oil in a clean iron pan and mix in honey without waiting for the oil to heat up.

This process is different from the production of chestnut chicken, because the stewed pork ribs have already been placed in the sauce meat with a toning color, and if the oil is hot and then sprinkled with honey, the honey will become darker, which will aggravate the color of the pork ribs. Not only that, frying the ribs with charred honey will also erase the unique meaty aroma of the ribs.

Gu Yunxi used a frying spoon to constantly stir in the oil, and after the honey at the bottom of the pot and the vegetable oil naturally fused and changed color, they were put into the ribs one by one, fried until the appearance of the ribs became hard, and they were covered with a layer of sauce red color, and then put them on a clean plate for later use.

The ultimate part: make the sauce.

Add starch and water and mix well for later use. Put a small amount of vegetable oil in a wok and heat it, add water, vinegar, salt, water starch, boil the juice over high heat, pour it into the fried pork ribs when the soup becomes thick, stir-fry several times out of the pot, and put it into the sea.

Two people eat, two meat, two vegetables and one soup, the combination is reasonable, neither shabby nor too wasteful.

The three cooks were dumbfounded. They only felt that the slender figure and soft voice seemed to be the girl's little Yunguan as soon as he plunged into the kitchen, he became a three-headed and six-armed Nezha, surrounded by the stove, and his magic power was fully displayed.

She can count every type of dish, who is in front of whom, and how to make reasonable use of time. Not only do we not waste any ingredients, but the time is also quite accurate.

Before noon, the Overseer did return. After drinking a cup of tea, Gu Yunxi led people to put lunch on the table.

"You're cooking again?" Seeing that her hair was messed up a little, Leng Qingtang sat at the table and asked seriously.

He had changed into an inky robe and had his long hair tied up high.

"I ...... I love to cook for you. ”

Glancing at his handsome face, and finding that he was also looking at this side with burning eyes, Gu Yunxi hurriedly lowered his head and said in a coquettish voice.

Leng Qingtang stretched out an arm to her, and she obediently walked over to hold his big hand. With a hook of his arm, he took her into his arms.

"Overseer, you like to eat the food I cook, and I will cook it for you every day in the future."

She sat on his lap, smiled sheepishly, and buried her head in his chest again, leaning hard.

She was still a little girl after all, and even a not-so-blunt expression was enough to make her blush and heartbeat for a long time during the process of confiding.

Then the voice of the governor and surprise sounded:

"Good, good! As long as you make it yourself, even the coarse tea and light rice are as beautiful as jade food. ”

"I'll serve you dinner, don't let the new ones cool."

Getting out of the overseer's arms, Gu Yunxi filled a bowl of rice for him and himself, and the two began to have lunch.

Today, the Overseer was in a particularly good mood and ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Gu Yunxi's heart rippled with a hint of sweetness.

She thought while eating, the love between men and women is nothing more than that, caring for and taking care of each other, and sincerely warming each other with their respective hearts.

When Leng Qingtang was about to eat the second bowl of fast rice, Qianhu Cheng Wanli came in.

When he saw the Overseer and Gu Yunxi eating across the table, a very surprised expression appeared on his black face.

If this girl changes into women's clothes and sits in this room, I'm afraid she won't be going to fight against the Overseer!

Cheng Wanli's face immediately sank, and he was greatly displeased.

Finding that there were two particularly sharp gazes poking straight at him from the big black face in front of his vision, Gu Yunxi's little hand holding the bowl suddenly trembled twice, and his silver teeth bit the head of the chopsticks, and lowered his head with an unnatural expression.

Cheng Qianhu doesn't like her, she knows it in her heart-

"Why don't you eat it?"

Leng Qingtang noticed Gu Yunxi's abnormality, picked up a piece of honey-stuffed pork ribs with chopsticks and sent it to her bowl, squinting and smiling gently:

"Keep eating."

Turning his head to look at Cheng Wanli standing at the table: "Something?" ”

"Kyosato... Something happened. ”

Cheng Wanli's eyes darkened, and he glanced at Gu Yunxi intentionally or unintentionally.

"Speak!"

"Just now the spies reported, everyone in the capital is spreading the story, all saying that the East Factory is plotting against the West Factory, and the discord between the two factories will lead to the decline of the country......"

"What?"

This news was enough to make Leng Qingtang put down his chopsticks and listen carefully to the ins and outs of Lord Qianhu's statement of the incident.

As soon as he saw that the overseer had put away the dishes and chopsticks, Gu Yunxi stopped eating and sat at the table in a regular manner.

"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!"

The stakes are very high, Leng Qingtang frowned, urging Cheng Wanli to speak quickly.

"Our spies have just come back, saying that there are rumors on the street now, and someone found the people of Xichang unconscious in Qingfeng Temple in the north of the city, and the main hall is even more unsightly......

"We were already cautious last night, and Minglan's people also changed into civilian clothes, how could we let irrelevant people know the identities of the two factories?"

Leng Qingtang found the problem and asked sharply.

According to the spies, the people rumored that there were two lines of blood characters next to the unconscious person in the main hall of the temple, deliberately pointing out the identity of the admiral of the West Factory, and that line of words also ...... You were mentioned! ”

"What does that write on?" Leng Qingtang asked emphatically.

Cheng Wan looked embarrassed, paused for a moment, and then replied:

"Admiral of the East Factory, for the heavens. The eunuchs of the West Factory, evil has evil retribution! ”

As soon as the end of the note fell, I saw Leng Qingtang suddenly squint a pair of phoenix eyes, and the clouds on his handsome white face were surging, and he couldn't suppress the anger of Chong Guan.

Cheng Wanli was about to say something, but he was so frightened by the overseer's face that he opened his mouth and didn't dare to say more.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and we are all calculated. Someone deliberately pushed the east and west factories to the cusp, and those two lines of words were his tools to frame the governor, so that Minglan thought that the governor was plotting against him and deliberately mentioned the words, making the events of last night known to the world, and successfully intensifying the contradiction between the two governors! ”

Leng Qingtang got up steadily after speaking, and wandered around the room with his hands in his hands, thinking about it repeatedly and still feeling incredible.

"Can you send spies to the northern suburbs to see it?"

"I've seen it!" Cheng Wanli nodded, and his tone was affirmative:

"When our people arrived at Qingfeng Temple, Minglan and they had already withdrawn. The handwriting of the rumors was not found at the scene, and it should have been removed by the West Factory. But the people in the capital are full of voices, and the head of the rumor is the Tao, so it shouldn't be a false rumor! ”

Leng Qingtang froze, and his mind was carefully cleared.

According to common sense, the effectiveness of Xiaoyao Fruit never deviates too much. Minglan and his gang should have woken up an hour before dawn if they inhaled the smoke of Xiaoyaoguo.

At that time, the northern suburbs were sparsely populated, and the two pickled things were at his fingertips, and he knew that he was at a loss, and he would never dare to call out with Dongchang in the short term, and this private contest would be over.

But the current situation has been confused by the mysterious man hiding in the shadows!

The man secretly attacked Minglan and his gang after Dongchang, making them sleep until dawn, deliberately attracting the attention of the woodcutters and hunters who went up the mountain.

It's really a clever layout, a trick to kill two birds with one stone-

Suddenly, Leng Qingtang thought of the abnormal movement he had heard outside Qingfeng Temple last night.

Those who practice martial arts have very sharp ears. At that time, the faint sound had made him mistake it for the sound of the night wind, but now it seemed that someone was hiding in the shadows. Moreover, that person should be the one who started this incident today!

"Overseer......"

Gu Yunxi walked up and looked sad: "It's all because of me, it's me who caused trouble for Dongchang." ”

The Overseer's angry face shocked her, and she couldn't help but take all the responsibility on herself, simply thinking that it was Minglan who gave her jewelry to displease the Overseer, so she wanted to arrange and rectify him, but she didn't think that something went wrong halfway.

"I don't blame you, don't think too much."

Turning her head to look at Gu Yunxi, who looked worried, Leng Qingtang and Yan comforted her.

He knew it wasn't her.

In the past, Minglan relied on his identity as the father-in-law in charge of Yongning Palace to do evil in the palace, bullying the little eunuchs and little palace maids.

Leng Qingtang just wanted to take advantage of Minglan's covetousness of Gu Yunxi's matter to pick him up. I don't want to be spied on by others and take advantage of the loophole!

"Overseer, will the West Factory trouble us again?" Gu Yunxi asked uneasily again.

Leng Qingtang shook his head thoughtfully:

"No, he is now busy with how to seal the mouth of Youyou, and he will never pay attention to the East Factory again. But in this way, many innocent people will suffer......"

Cheng Wanli thought about it for a long time, but some links still couldn't figure it out:

"Governor, what is the purpose of that man's doing?"

"The Governor still can't tell if he is going to the palace or not!"

After resolutely finishing speaking, Leng Qingtang looked straight ahead, and his flickering and sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick wall in an instant, and reach the outside of the courtyard.

"Tonight, I'll take the girl back to the Admiral's Mansion to live."

The sudden decision surprised both Cheng Wanli and Gu Yunxi.

Things have developed so far, although Cheng Wanli is extremely reluctant in his heart, he has no refutation.

It is best for the overseer to find a clean place to avoid the limelight at the moment, but in this case, Qianhu, as the second-in-command of the East Factory, will have to stay in the East Factory to take care of it.

In any case, Gu Yunxi's girl being by his master's side always made him feel at ease.

After thinking about it again, last night more than one fan guard saw her in women's clothes in and out of the East Factory, whether it was a woman dressed as a man or a man dressed as a woman, and it became a popular topic of discussion in the East Factory for a while. Keeping her in the East Factory will probably be detrimental to the Overseer.

Thinking about it, Cheng Wanli became more and more clueless, and felt extremely irritable in his heart.

Well, how things will develop in the future is better to let it be......
