Beijing, Minglan Mansion

Throughout the afternoon, Gu Yunxi was supervised by Pomegranate, and was forced to soak in a spice bath with all five flavors to fully cleanse his body.

During this period, just changing the bath water and coal tossed four times.

Xiao Nianzi once instructed Pomegranate and others, don't be afraid of water, charcoal, fire, and spices, in short, the onion and garlic on Gu Yunxi's body should be completely removed.

The subordinates in the Governor's Mansion of the West Factory are also divided into classes. Because Xiao Nianzi is a close servant of the overseer Minglan, his status among his subordinates is naturally much higher than that of the rough servants in the room.

The overseer threatened that when he came to see Gu Yunxi again, he couldn't smell the slightest smell on her body.

If the young man does not do this errand, he will have his head screwed off by the overseer.

When he ordered Pomegranate and the others to do things again, he would naturally give this order to a few of them with lower status.

"Twisting the head" is just an extension, and it means a rather revealing and harsh punishment.

The subordinates in these houses naturally don't want to be tortured inhumanly. Therefore, they could only be ruthless to Gu Yunxi.

After several tosses, Gu Yunxi's body was soaked in hot water and several layers of skin were peeled.

At this moment, even if she only sat in the bathtub and did not move, she felt very tired.

It was as if it was falling apart, and it was smoky and weak by the rising water vapor from the bath tub.

Pomegranate felt that the fire was almost over, so he came to Gu Yunxi's side, probed his nose and sniffed.

For the sake of prudence, she asked each mother-in-law to sniff carefully around the girl.

Everyone unanimously confirmed that Gu Yunxi only had the smell of spices on his body now, and the pomegranate asked someone to help Gu Yunxi out of the bath.

put on a set of lake blue satin sprinkled cloud smoke skirt for Gu Yunxi, and redressed and dressed up.

Pomegranate looked at the girl in front of her with her hair combed in a cloud bun and a delicate complexion, and the flame of jealousy ignited suddenly in her heart, and it became a fierce fire in an instant.

Immediately, Mung Bean's eyes turned to the side, and Pomegranate snorted resentfully and grinned.

Gu Yunxi was escorted back to the room by Pomegranate and her two mothers-in-law, and the furnishings inside had been completely renewed.

Pomegranate dismissed the mothers-in-law, and she went out of the same room with Gu Yunxi to monitor her every move.

"Sister Pomegranate, you go and get busy with you, you don't have to look at me all the time, I can't run."

Gu Yunxi sat at the head of the bed and said to her, his arms hugging his curled legs.

"No, the governor wants the slaves and maids to guard in the room, and the slaves and maids must follow wherever you go."

Pomegranate sat at the table, her eyes lowered impatiently, and there was no expression on her ugly face.

Gu Yunxi found that the pomegranate was fine, and he was always obsessed with the ice sweet banana left in the twig dish on the table, as if he wanted to eat it.

This is a breakthrough

Gu Yunxi smiled and said to the pomegranate:

"Sister Pomegranate, you can eat that sugar-coated iced sweet banana."

The little girl's voice is hearty and sweet, and you don't need to look up to make people feel her smile with all kinds of warmth.

Pomegranate's broom eyebrows seemed to move, but did not respond.

Gu Yunxi said again:

"I left this for our overseer, but he has something to do. If this iced banana is left for a longer time, the outer layer of sugar coating will melt and will not be eaten. You should eat it while it's in good condition. If the Overseer wants it, I'll do it again. ”

I don't know which sentence stimulated the pomegranate, her eyes were sharp, and she immediately grabbed the iced sweet banana and ate it in three or two bites.

"How? Is it tasty? ”

Gu Yunxi looked at her with a smile on the bed and asked.

Pomegranate wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her mung bean eyes, and looked at Gu Yunxi unhurriedly, her face full of jealousy and displeasure:

"Humph! When you're young, you can cook and make food? ”

"In the past, I studied with the chefs in the Gongyuan for a few years, and they were all petty fights......

Gu Yunxi replied shallowly.

Pomegranate came of interest:

"And what else do you cook? I'll hear it. ”

Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"Let's put it this way, the signature dishes of the two largest restaurants in the capital, 'Baoyue Building' and 'Drunken Immortal Residence', I won't do it."

"Speak big!"

Pomegranate's face was cold, her eyes rolled up and down, and she looked at the girl with a calm and confident expression:

"People are not big, but they can brag."

Gu Yunxi no longer had a verbal dispute with Pomegranate, raised his head to look out the window, got out of bed with a light smile, and said:

"It's not early, I'm going to get some dinner, and I'll make the signature dish 'cherry meat' of the drunken guest house today."

"Okay, you make it for me to eat, and if you do do it, I'll serve you."

Do I do you eat? Gu Yunxi secretly sneered: Don't be ashamed!

The two came to the kitchen, and the mother-in-law was already busy with dinner.

I heard that this unconscious girl was going to show her hand, and while everyone was full of curiosity, they also maintained full vigilance.

Gu Yunxi found a piece of high-quality pork belly, cleaned it and blanched it in hot water.

With the skin facing up, use a quick knife to cut out small square pieces the size of cherries, and the bottom layer of the pork belly cannot be cut.

Put the cut meat pieces into a porcelain bowl with bamboo grate, add water, rice wine, green onion and ginger, almond powder, red yeast powder, rock sugar and salt grains on the steamer, and simmer over high heat.

Waiting for the meat to cook, Gu Yunxi used fresh spinach to grind the juice and rolled the white flour with green juice.

Mix the meat filling with egg whites, chopped green peppers, sesame oil, salt and a small amount of sesame seeds, and wrap it in green dough to wrap the wontons.

Chicken soup simmering in a crockpot.

Mingfu's chef's ** soup

It is customary to simmer the whole duck rack, the whole chicken rack and three young pigeons, so that the oil slick is glimpsed, and the soup is white and fresh.

Gu Yunxi saw that there were soaked shark fins and scallops on the side, so he took half a pot of chicken soup in a casserole and stewed shark fin and scallops together.

After the soup boils, throw in mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and wontons after a while.

When I was young, I made a soup.

I saw that the milky white wing noodle soup was embedded with turquoise wontons, and the surrounding area was decorated with white mushrooms and white bamboo shoots.

Such as the vast floating flowers and emerald marks in the warm white fine jade, it makes people have a great appetite when they look at it.

It's time for the steamed pork in the cage drawer.

Gu Yunxi went over and opened the cage drawer, and there was a white gas with a sweet fragrance, which rolled out of the steamer.

The pieces of meat in the porcelain bowl are neatly arranged, each of them is the size of a delicate cherry, bright and translucent, and the luster is tempting.

The soup is thick and viscous all around, and the smell is fresh and fragrant.

Pomegranate's eyes are almost straight.

Her identity, her limited monthly routine, meant that she didn't even have a chance to get drunk on the steps of the guest house, let alone eat the cherry flesh of that house.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't know the goods, she immediately called the oldest chef in the house to identify Gu Yunxi's cherry meat.

After tasting a piece, the chef immediately picked his thumb:

"This meat is crispy, fat but not greasy, thin and not firewood. The soup is pleasing to the eye, with a moderate amount of sweet and salty, which is so authentic! ”

Gu Yunxi pursed his lips and bent into an indifferent smile, the gloomy luster in his eyes was not very clear, and he turned his head proudly and looked at the speechless pomegranate:

"Sister Pomegranate, please send this bowl of cherry meat and winged wontons to my house."

Pomegranate's ugly complexion was full of sorrow, and he frowned and said:

"What's in your house, that's in the main house of the Ming Governor!"

Gu Yunxi raised his eyebrows, as if he heard a hidden meaning from the pomegranate's angry words.

Sakura's lips curled slightly, she dusted herself silently, and walked out of the kitchen with her feet raised.

Yiti rode into the wing room and bowed to Minglan in front of the table:

"Lord Governor, I have received accurate news, Dongchang Leng Qingtang will lead the team to leave Beijing tonight."

Hearing this, Minglan dropped the book in his hand, his fluttering eyes swept over the kneeling person, and he said quietly for a moment:

"Let's go down."

Those who come are retired.

His brows tightened, and Minglan's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said out of thin air:

"Come here."

The young man, who was standing quietly at the table, hurriedly stepped forward......

The cherry flesh was almost eaten by Pomegranate alone, along with a casserole of winged ravioli.

After eating and drinking, she still has a stinky face, which makes people feel unhappy.

However, Gu Yunxi was very patient with her, just because she saw through the reason why she was so cruel and disgusted with herself.

If she wants to escape from the Ming Mansion, she must make good use of this pomegranate!

Pomegranate drank the last mouthful of chicken soup, and as soon as he put down the bowl, Gu Yunxi offered a cup of tea.

The girl was smiling all over her face, as bright as a peach and plum.

Pomegranate has never been served with such eyesight, his expression was stunned, he took the tea but did not drink it, and his gloomy face eased:

"I see that you will also serve people, so let me tell you the truth. It's useless for you to scold me, it's your blessing that the Lord sees you, and you should put your thoughts on me on him. ”

Gu Yunxi looked at the pomegranate quietly, and the clear and sharp brilliance in his eyes swayed.

She shook her body deliberately, squeezed out an impatient expression, and said sourly:

"Who wants to follow him! I am a tribute girl, and I have to enter the palace to get ahead, how can I be rationed to the eunuchs......"

"Hey! How do you speak, pay attention to me slapping you"

Without waiting for Gu Yunxi to finish speaking, Pomegranate suddenly turned his face. The five thick fingers of the radish slapped the table fiercely, and then raised it in the air and angrily aimed at Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi was very happy in his heart, but on the surface, he was still pretending to beg for mercy, and he folded his hands and begged:

"Sister Pomegranate, don't be angry. Our overseer is good, he's all right there, okay? ”

"Humph!"

The pomegranate fell into his palm, and the mung bean eyes looked directly at Gu Yunxi, and his eyes were cold:

"You, don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings. What about how good it grows?

Look at Sister Pomegranate, what does I look like is not better than you, shouldn't I wash the vegetables?

To be a man, you must always know the current affairs, where to say. What happened to the eunuch? Eunuchs aren't human, aren't they?

I can tell you that it is true that the Lord Ming is a eunuch, but if he says a word, he is better than the bearded ministers in the palace!

You don't like him? You must know that when he turns around, there may be many girls staring at him behind him! ”

The pomegranate dances with handkerchiefs, even talking and gesturing, and the stars are dancing all over the sky.

Gu Yunxi moved the chair back a few feet, his eyes fixed on every inch of the expression change on Pomegranate's face.

She could hear that in the other party's impassioned statement, there was clearly a bit of obvious vinegar.

In addition, Gu Yunxi couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

I wonder how poor this pomegranate's family must be, and they can't even afford a bronze mirror? There is no mirror, you should always wash vegetables and use the water in the basin to look at your face!

"Sister Pomegranate, could it be that you are interested in Lord Mingdu?"

Seeing that she was excited, when she calmed down, Gu Yunxi leaned over to test it.

Pomegranate is honest and straightforward, rolled his eyes to look at Gu Yunxi, stroked his face full of pockmarks with one hand, lowered his brows and said with a narcissistic expression:

"It's not me boasting, if you hadn't come, the person who lived in this house at this time would be my sister pomegranate. Hey......"

Before she could drift away, she was interrupted by a strong coughing voice.

Beside him, Gu Yunxi was so amused by Pomegranate's funny behavior that he gasped, and he choked on saliva without paying attention.

Pounding his chest hard and gasping for a moment, Gu Yunxi could be regarded as returning to normal.

This pomegranate is simply shameless!

However, people in the world are like this, turnip greens, each has his own love.

When Gu Yunxi looked at Minglan, there was only disgust and disgust in his heart. Who would have thought that the sinister and treacherous man is a sweet and sweet in the eyes of some people

"Sister Pomegranate, do you want to get a side look from Lord Mingdu?"

“……”

Pomegranate's puzzled eyes turned to Gu Yunxi in surprise, seeing her low eyebrows and shallow smile, her demure eyes suddenly bloomed with a ghostly light, and the afterglow seemed to be a temptation that could not be shaken off.

"What do you want to do?"

Pomegranate looked hesitant, her eyes fixed on the treacherous and changeable face of the girl in front of her.

Gu Yunxi leaned closer and whispered in Pomegranate's ear for a moment......

Outside the East Factory, Yuan Qiansheng, who was in the direction of Shifan, quietly saw Qing'er dressed as a soap-colored suit and a son, so he said to her anxiously:

"Five times in the middle of the night, Xiao Shen will go out of Beijing with the overseer."

Qing'er was stunned, and her body immediately froze in place:

"Does the Overseer know that we have acted to sabotage the plans of the three of us?"

The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became, the more angry I became, Qing'er stomped her feet again and again, hooked her eyebrows and said angrily:

"On this day, when the mouth leaves Beijing, does the overseer want to leave our girl alone? The girl is for him, so she will throw herself into the net and be trapped in the Ming Mansion."

"Qing'er, don't worry, the overseer thinks it has his own arrangements......

Yuan Qian was extremely loyal to Leng Qingtang, and he never heard others say that the overseer was not.

Now he knew that Qing'er would be open-mouthed because of Yunxi's affairs, so he didn't care about her, and only cared about the consolation of her face.

Unexpectedly, Qing'er's willow eyebrows were upside down, and her right hand gripped the hilt of the saber fiercely, and shouted:

Plan, plan, I'm afraid that when he returns to Beijing, he will do it again, and the cucumber dishes will be cold! Who is Minglan, he doesn't know it"

Yuan Qian's eyes shrank suddenly, and his expression was panicked and nervous.

He thought for a moment and said to Qing'er:

"It's okay, there's no caution, you and I will act the same!"

"W-This won't work!"

Ming Mansion, after listening to Gu Yunxi's plan, Pomegranate was so shocked that his face turned pale, and his ugly facial features became even more hideous and distorted.

Pouting his hips and moving up the chair, deliberately widening the distance from Gu Yunxi, Pomegranate said with a little trepidation:

"You—don't hurt me. I really did what you said, and I was found out by the Overseer afterwards, so don't put me in the oil pot and roll me alive?! ”

Gu Yunxi's eyebrows were cold, and he smiled sarcastically at the pomegranate:

"Oh, you behaved very bravely against me, and it was really soft like a persimmon at the critical moment.

Sister Pomegranate, Sister Pomegranate, it's really in vain for me to look down on you! ”

"You, I'......"

Pomegranate didn't know that Gu Yunxi was using the agitation method, and she was scared for a while, and her yellow hemp face turned red instantly.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi continued to fan the flames, showing his disdain vividly on a sparkling and charming little face:

"As the saying goes, women chase men. Who is Lord Mingdu, Sister Pomegranate, you should know better than me, right?

If you don't take the initiative to live in a house, do you still expect him to show favor to you first? Isn't that his face?

Besides, you look like a fairy, and you have become the overseer who only favors you, how can you be willing to put you in the oil pot? ”

"Then why are you helping me?"

Pomegranate is not too naïve, and he still has doubts about Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi smiled:

"I won't hurt you, but I will show you a shortcut to see how affectionate you are. You have been in the Ming Mansion for a longer time than me, and you should be before me in terms of seniority.

How young can a girl's family be? It's true that your pomegranate sister is as beautiful as a flower, but if you delay yourself so much, this delicate flower will become a dried flower sooner or later! ”

When he said the last sentence, Gu Yunxi turned over the river and the sea and convulsed, only to feel a sour gastric juice up to his throat.

She hurriedly turned her eyes, and no longer looked at Pomegranate's extremely ugly features.

In an instant, Pomegranate seemed to be awakened, looking a little dazed and hesitant.

A knock on the door rang out.

"Miss Yun, the slave maid is here to bring you soup."

It was a young girl's voice.

Pomegranate got up and went to open the door.

A maid entered the room, put the tray in her hand on the table, and bowed her eyes:

"The girl knows that the dinner is cherry meat, and the chef specially sent a bowl of Fuzhong's special brewed osmanthus sour plum soup.

This thing is the most greasy, you drink it and settle it as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, there's work."

Gu Yunxi looked at the little girl's white face and nodded lightly.

The little maid turned to the pomegranate and said:

"Sister Pomegranate must wait for the girl to drink the plum soup, so that you can put away the dishes and go back to rest."

The pomegranate took the head and sent the maid out of the house.

Gu Yunxi sat firmly on the edge of the table, turned his eyes to look at the lotus-patterned green cup on the table, and there was a subtle light flickering at the bottom of his eyes, faintly entangled and chaotic.

In the past few days, Xiao Nianzi has been running for her, but now she suddenly has a maid with a different face and comes to deliver soup in the name of the chef.

Could it be that this bowl of sour plum soup ...... Quirky? 2k reading web
