Chapter 12 Shang Shi Bureau
A few smaller coarse porcelain bowls were placed on the stone table, and Chen Fang picked up the wine jar, where a soldier hurriedly took it. How can you let Childe come to this matter of pouring wine.
The peach red next to Chen Fang couldn't close her mouth at this time, and when she saw the rice wine, she drank it all in one big bowl.
The drinking posture is not like a child at all, there is no palace maid style, and she is too girly.
"Eat slowly!"
"Childe, it's so delicious."
"Hiccup!"
Choked, Chen Fang scolded with a smile and served her a bowl of soup.
Every plate on the table was already empty at this time, Chen Fang looked at the empty dishes, what kind of spirit is this, this is the spirit of saving without wasting a grain of food.
It seems that Li Shen's two poems have not yet been created, but looking at this table, even the accessories such as green onion and ginger have been eaten, and the soup is mixed with rice and eaten cleanly.
The two women clean up the dishes and send them back to the kitchen in a moment.
There, Chen Fang was already preparing to go back to the house to sleep, and Peach followed Chen Fang with a full burp.
Chen Fang looked at this girl's slender body, and really couldn't see that she had eaten so much just now, three bowls of rice, two bowls of soup, two bowls of rice wine, not counting the dishes to eat, this girl's mouth never stopped just now, and she gnawed four or five ribs.
Sure enough, some people don't eat in proportion to their size.
"Go and rest!"
"Childe, I'll wait for Childe to soak his feet and then rest. Childe..."
"Say whatever you want!"
"Peach has a thick mouth and can't speak, Childe, you are so good!"
Chen Fang smiled, and was praised by this girl, I don't know why, it's really a little fluttering.
Peach prepares hot water, which is different from the Tai Chi Palace, and the conditions for bathing and bathing are obviously not allowed. Although there is also a large bathhouse in the Yeting Palace, it is for the palace maids, how dare Chen Fang go.
However, in the past two days, Taohong insisted on soaking Chen Fang's feet every day, and this girl's technique of pinching her feet is quite good, and this foot soaking is comfortable every day.
Chen Fang fell asleep, but Taohong did not return to the room, but rushed to Ganlu Palace.
On the morning of the second day, Peach brought a toothbrush and coarse salt to Chen Fang's washing basin.
"Childe, Niangniang asked Childe to go to the imperial dining room today! Today's noon meal has Lao Gongzi. ”
"Oh!"
Chen Fang didn't think it was strange, Taohong must have gone to see Wu Meiniang last night, this girl is Wu Meiniang's henchman.
Taohong praised Wu Meiniang for a meal, and it was natural for Wu Meiniang to let Chen Fang go to the imperial dining room to prepare today's meal.
The rapeseed oil has been squeezed out, and it is time for the nobles in this palace to taste the taste. Hugging Wu Meiniang's thighs, this is Chen Fang's dependence to survive in this era.
Chen Fang brushed his teeth with coarse salt with difficulty, it was really salty, it was not once or twice with coarse salt, but it was so uncomfortable every time.
"Prepare some rapeseed oil later, and you can go to the imperial dining room with me!"
"Slaves obey!"
Peach happily went to prepare, and Chen Fang spit out a mouthwash.
It's hard to live without toothpaste! Chen Fang was considering whether to make some toothpaste.
It seems a bit difficult, but it's not too difficult.
Modern toothpaste Chen Fang doesn't think about it at all, after all, this is the Tang Dynasty of an agricultural society, and the technology and foundation cannot be reached.
However, there are several ways to make several types of toothpaste, such as animal bone meal, dried flowers and rock salt mint and peppercorns.
There are also some traditional Chinese medicine formulas that can also clear teeth, such as gastrodia, rhizome, asarium, agarwood, cold water stone and other traditional Chinese medicine grinding can also play the role of toothpaste.
Of course, there is another way, and that is with calcium carbonate and soap.
Soap is now available, calcium carbonate is a good deal.
There are pros and cons to several plans, Chen Fangzheng thought, where Taohong had already walked in with a white porcelain jar.
"Childe, you're ready!"
"Well, we'll go to the Imperial Dining Room now!"
Chen Fang wanted to go to the imperial dining room early, firstly, to check the ingredients available in the imperial dining room, and secondly, today's meal was not ordinary, after checking the ingredients, Chen Fang definitely needed to carefully consider what to eat for Wu Meiniang today.
The people take food as the sky, and the emperor and the general are the same, after solving the problem of food and clothing, in fact, the emperor's family pays more attention to food.
No one will get tired of eating, and no one will be upset with their stomach. The richer the family, the more attention is paid to food. And the emperor's family is a top rich family.
"Childe, you haven't eaten breakfast yet!"
"I'll go to the imperial dining room to solve it later!"
Chen Fang really didn't want to eat those dishes that lacked salt and vinegar anymore, so he would go to the imperial dining room to see what to eat.
When Chen Fang came to the imperial dining room, Chen Fang saw the three big characters of Shangshi Bureau on the large plaque in front of the imperial dining room.
At this time, Chen Fang remembered that during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was actually no such thing as the imperial dining room, and the food bureau of the sixth bureau and the twenty-fourth division of the inner palace was in charge of the emperor's diet in the palace.
I was dizzy, I haven't paid attention to it, it seems that people here are used to calling the Shangshi Bureau the imperial dining room, also because of the butterfly effect.
Chen Fang didn't need to think about it to understand that the title of the imperial dining room must have come from the Northern Han Dynasty or the Western Qin Dynasty. This is called colloquialism and official language, just like dialects and Mandarin.
Walking into the Shangshi Bureau, a woman wearing palace clothes greeted her.
Chen Fang looked at the woman, about thirty or so, and her body was a little fat, that is, slightly fat. It can be seen that she should be extremely beautiful when she was young, and she is still charming now.
Speaking of which, Chen Fang came to this world since he came, and all the women he saw actually had good looks and figures, especially that night, the back of the shocking glimpse.
Speaking of which, this is normal, after all, it is a palace, and every palace maid is carefully selected from the people, and the appearance is really bad, or the body shape is very poor, and they can't enter the palace.
Think about the conditions for recruiting waitresses in a state guesthouse in later generations, this is a palace, and it is naturally stricter than that.
"This is Fang Gongzi, I am the Shang Shi Dingyu of this Shang Shi Bureau, I have seen Fang Gongzi!"
The female official who called herself Dingyu was slightly blessed, and Chen Fang noticed that she was extremely clean, not like someone who often haunted the kitchen.
Shangshi is a female official name in the court, and Chen Fang doesn't particularly know how to subdivide the female officials in the court, after all, she is not from a history department.
But this is the Shangshi Bureau, this woman calls herself Shangshi, and it seems that she is the head of this place, like the director of a certain bureau in later generations.
"Shangshi doesn't have to be polite, today I came to the Shangshi Bureau to prepare a meal on the order of Niangniang, and I hope that Shangshi will help you a lot."
"Dingyu is just a female official in the Shangshi Bureau, and she doesn't dare to be called an adult. Early this morning, the word had been spread from the Ganlu Palace, and Dingyu should do his best to assist the child. ”
"Then take me to see the ingredients and seasonings prepared by this Shangshi Bureau."
"Spices?"
"It's salt and peppercorns."
"Childe, please!"
When I entered this food bureau, it was well furnished, and every place was cleaned up. Compared to the kitchen of the Ting Palace, this place is suddenly several levels higher. It's as if the palace is just a fly restaurant, but here is the kitchen of a top hotel.
