Chapter 187: It's a Man
There was chaos in the Shangshi Bureau, and everyone heard Li De's shouting, no one dared to disobey, and they all felt nervous when they didn't know what was going on.
"Guang Luqing, all the people from the Shangshi Bureau are here." Ouyang Lanxin said after counting the number of people.
Li De looked at the people in a courtyard, there was no neat line, only strange eyes and horror on his face, there were many accidents that could happen in the palace every day, who knew if the next one would be himself.
Li De picked up the fold in his hand, opened the page that had been approved, and said: "The emperor personally wrote, from now on, the Shangshang Food Bureau will make every effort to deal with the queen's birthday banquet, and the menu in my hand needs to be mastered by you within ten days." ”、
"Ouyang Lanxin, you are responsible for copying down the menu and giving each person a copy, and then I will divide the labor between you." Li Dedao.
The kitchen has always been said by the cooks, like Ouyang Lanxin can't interfere, she is not a cook who doesn't know how to cook, and now there is a Guang Luqing who understands cooking, and their good days are over.
Li De's division of labor is very simple, the best cooking skills continue to be in charge, the second chef is a little inferior, and the second one is responsible for assisting, cutting the dun side dishes, and separating the people who make pastries.
Eight chefs, after such a job, there are only two chefs left, two pastries, and the remaining four become second chefs and assistant chefs respectively.
The original handymen have also been reorganized, kitchen handymen, responsible for fetching water, washing, lighting fires and other work.
Li De did this to show a gesture, the Shangshi Bureau is now managed by him, and everyone must obey.
The kitchen itself has a chef, and they stand out and are valued, and their treatment is improved accordingly, but the pressure on both of them comes with it.
"Ouyang Lanxin, the number of cooks is still not enough, and you are also responsible for finding people." Li De said.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Ouyang Lan said in her heart.
Ouyang Lanxin is in trouble again, it is so easy to recruit a cook, post a notice on the notice board outside the palace wall, whether it will be in time for ten days, she doesn't know.
"Let's go back to their respective posts first, the two chefs will prepare, and I will cook a few dishes for you to demonstrate." After Li De finished speaking, he went into the kitchen with the two.
At this time, the door of the Shangshi Bureau was closed, and the palace maids waited outside for a long time, and some palace maids were curious: "What's the matter today, the Shangshi Bureau is not open, and the concubine is still waiting for dinner." ”
"It's really strange, why don't we go back and talk to our masters, or when will we go." There is a palace maid and another way.
They can't change anything as palace maids, but the concubines standing next to them are the harem, if they are favored, they can reflect the matter to the queen mother, and the people of the Shangshi Bureau will definitely be punished at that time.
At first glance, she is a scheming palace maid.
There are also palace maids knocking on the door outside.
There was no response at all just now, and the palace maid who couldn't wait knocked on the door again to get a response.
Ouyang Lanxin asked someone to open the door, and in the face of the palace maids, she felt pressure.
"Ouyang Shangshi, why did the Shangshi Bureau open the door, my master has sent people to urge him a few times, can he go in to eat now?" The palace maid said coldly.
There are a few palace maids who are in a very bad mood, and they will definitely be punished for delaying the master's meal, and someone must give them an explanation for the matter, otherwise they will have to take the blame.
"Ouyang Shangshi, you must give us an explanation, are you deliberately difficult for our master." The palace maids are all talking about their masters, and they are all very confident.
Ouyang Lanxin looked at the arrogant palace maid with a calm face, how to say that she was a female official, her style of acting was not comparable to that of the palace maid, and there was an aura invisibly when she stood at the door.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, the meals are ready-made, I'm really sorry for you to wait for a long time, please take food in an orderly manner, don't delay the preparation of the birthday banquet by the Food Bureau."
Ouyang Lanxin immediately shut up the palace maids with a faint sentence, the concubines around them have energy that can compare to today's queens, and the palace maids know that they are all human spirits, and they usually have masters to maintain and do things more arrogantly, and when it comes to what their masters can't provoke, they all restrain their tempers.
"Ouyang Shangshi, we don't mean to offend." The palace maid who was upright just now immediately said that she softened, and she was afraid that people would find an account afterwards.
If they eat all the leftovers of others in the future, or if it is cold, they will be scolded by the master, and it is basically rare to implicate the Shangshi Bureau.
Unless the Shangshi Bureau offended someone at the queen level, how could this be possible.
Ouyang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief, today's matter has finally passed, and she feels that the new Guang Luqing will do something in the future.
"Would you like to remind me later?" Ouyang Lanxin felt that it was really necessary to explain the situation of the Shang Shi Bureau more carefully, just like the Shang Shi Bureau would not close for no reason.
The Shangshi Bureau is not a restaurant outside the palace, and if you don't want to open it, you can close it at any time, and they serve the lord of the world and the entire harem, which is not something that can be easily offended.
Ouyang Lan made up her mind that next time she must put forward her own opinions on things that do not make sense, and she thought so in her heart, but in fact, she did not have enough confidence.
Li De didn't know Ouyang Lanxin's troubles, he was teaching the two chefs to stir-fry at this time, and the big pot of dishes looked not difficult to do well, but it was not easy.
The stoves in the kitchen are all earthen stoves, and the firewood can't control the fire, so I don't care about cooking things at ordinary times.
"The fire is not strong, and someone blows it with a bamboo pipe." Li De commanded.
It's not that he deliberately makes people embarrassed, and the bamboo pipe is usually used when lighting the fire, and the fire is quickly printed and dyed by blowing, and the earthen stove is made of this wood, and it is not so easy to start the fire.
Several handymen fanned the wind, and all the means available to blow the wind were used, and the firewood became more and more vigorous, and the requirements will be met.
Li De instructed on the side, stir-frying should be even, and the amount of ingredients should be just right.
The stir-fry of the two large pots is completed, and it is time to taste.
After Li Dedu tasted it, he was very satisfied, it was worthy of the fact that the things fried by the imperial kitchen were really good, and he could become a master with more practice and experience.
"It tastes so good, can we bring some back?" The palace maids at the kitchen door were asking Ouyang Lanxin.
Li De looked up and looked outside, Yingying Yanyan, it was the first time he had seen this kind of thing for palace maids gathering, and he couldn't help but envy the emperor again, and there was still nothing to say about the appearance of the women in the palace.
The palace maids all look like this, and the concubines in the harem order to see to what extent.
The kitchens are all open, and they need to go into the kitchen to eat, and there are a lot of palace maids at the door, but Ouyang Lanxin is to maintain order.
When the palace maids saw Li De, their emotions changed instantly, and their first reaction was: "Look at it, it's a man." ”
