Li De's head was a little big after hearing this, and it turned out that there were hundreds of people working under the Sanpin officials.

He seems to have found the key, he, Guang Luqing, doesn't seem to have so many things to do, he is mainly in charge of the Shang Food Bureau, isn't that in charge of the palace kitchen.

"Father, I'll go to Guanglu Temple to report on my work first." Li Dedao.

"Li Fu, go and prepare the horse." Ando Lee.

Li De got up in the morning and began to toss, from home to Guanglu Temple, the will came down quickly, and when he arrived at Guanglu Temple, he was directly told to go directly to the Shangshi Bureau to run an errand.

As a result, he tossed from Guanglu Temple to the palace, with the royal gold medal in hand, and the guards guarding the city were polite.

The fly in the ointment is that it would be nice if you could walk through the main gate, otherwise the scenery will be infinitely visible to anyone.

Li De just arrived at the palace and remembered that he didn't know the way.

Not to mention that there is not even a ghost shadow in the corridor, the silence is scary, and I can't help but think of the phantom in the palace according to legend, it is said that it is a magnetic field effect, I don't know if it is true or not.

"Anyone?" Li De walked for a while and felt that it was still inappropriate, so he shouted tentatively.

The sound is reverberant and empty.

Li De wanted to shout, but suddenly saw two guards coming towards him.

"Stop coming, who are you who is good at the harem." The two guards kept their hands on their sabers, not daring to let go at all.

Li De is in a hurry, he doesn't know anything about officialdom, and I'm afraid that no one will do this except for his father-in-law who goes out to buy under special circumstances, and he doesn't wear official clothes when he enters the palace first.

The first impression of the two guards was that Li De was handsome and that he was a father-in-law, but they were strange that they had no impression of the person who came after so many years.

Li De took out the gold medal, and the two patrolling guards were stunned.

"Meet Guangluqing." The two of them are even more eccentric, how can the officials in the court enter the harem without permission, this is going to lose their heads, so their eyes have changed when they look at Li De, they have never seen such a bold person looking for death.

"You're welcome, I'm going to the Shangshi Bureau, if I'm going wrong, please ask two for directions." Li De explained.

"The direction of the Shangshi Bureau is on the other side, and we will take you there." The guard immediately said that if someone trespassed into the harem, they would also be responsible, and it was not uncommon for someone to get lost in the palace.

"We are on duty in the harem, my family Zheng Kai, his name is Zhou Qing." The guard asked.

"I'm Li De, hello." Li De said casually.

The two guards immediately became serious, of course they couldn't be too casual in the face of the court officials, and being polite didn't mean that they could be casual.

After turning a few corners, I finally arrived at the place.

In the Shang Food Bureau, the whole is an independent large courtyard, there are many rooms, there are many people coming in and out, basically most of them are women, and from time to time there will be father-in-law who comes with food boxes.

"Thank you both for showing the way." Li De said to the two guards.

Li De entered the Shangshi Bureau, many people were busy inside, and what he saw in front of him was that the kitchen was right, and a lot of fumes were cooking in the room.

"Stop, who are you?" Li De had just taken two steps when he was stopped.

When he turned around, he saw a handsome woman in a long robe and an official hat talking to him, and at first glance, he almost called the other party a man.

Li De looked at the people who came in and out of him and was really different from him, the maids and fathers-in-law were all dressed in uniform and looked at Li De dressed casually, it was simply out of place, and it was normal to be stopped.

Li De had to take out the gold medal again and said: "I am Guangluqing Li De, who are you to take over the Shangshi Bureau?" ”

With the royal gold medal in hand, ordinary people didn't dare to cheat at all, and when they heard that it was the female official in front of Guang Luqing, they immediately saluted respectfully and said: "Shang Shi official Ouyang Lan pays a visit to Guang Luqing." ”

Li De saw that the other party was a little vanity when he suddenly became respectful to him, and after looking at the other party, he found that there were indeed beautiful women in the palace.

The Ouyang Lanxin in front of her looks delicate and refined, if she changes into women's clothes, she will definitely be captivating to the country, and the firmness and sharpness in her eyes add spirituality to her.

"Ouyang Lanxin, now tell me about the situation of the Shangshi Bureau, tell me how much you know about the queen's birthday." Li De didn't want to think about anything else, he immediately entered the work state, and he had to ask for a menu for three days, and now he had to understand the basic situation of the meal, the number of people, specifications, etc.

He didn't know that he didn't understand anything, and he completely reversed things.

"Guangluqing, we have two Shangshi in the Shangshi Bureau, eight cooks, and ten miscellaneous servants." Ouyang Lanxin introduced.

"There are still a lot of people, but it's enough for His Majesty and the harem to eat, what about the queen's birthday banquet?" Li De continued to ask.

Ouyang Lanxin looked stunned and hesitated: "The specifications and arrangements for the birthday banquet are all arranged by Guanglu Temple. ”

As soon as Li De heard it, he understood that Guanglu Temple had only handed over the order to the Shangshi Bureau to complete, and the separate operation mode was really too pitiful, and things could be done while talking and laughing, and he suddenly found that although he was Guangluqing, he was at ease.

He has clearly become the executive chef of the palace, so it's a bit of a pit to think about it, at least other Guangluqing don't have to go to the kitchen.

"Ah, Ouyang Lanxin, now I'll give you a task, count the usual kitchen ingredients and seasonings, give you half a day, I want to see it when it's dark." Li De said.

Ouyang Lan was a little embarrassed, there were too many things in the kitchen, and there was not enough time to count them all, and the new official took office with three fires, she was very disgusted in her heart, but she still agreed.

Li De really didn't want to embarrass him, he could only say that there was really a difference in the concepts of the two.

After leaving the Shangshi Bureau and returning to Guanglu Temple to discuss with other officials, I figured out that the basic information of the queen's birthday was there, and I used it to check the formulation of cuisine.

After Li De learned about it, he knew that there were not many people in the Shangshi Bureau, the queen's birthday banquet did not need to cook too many meals at all, and there were no more than fifty people who were qualified to eat.

It's not that all of them are delicious food, the one that wants to eat well is to look at the level, and the other is to look at the financial resources, and the things of the Shangshi Bureau are not all free.

There is a world of difference between free things and fees, and if you want to open meat and eat meat, you can't just say it, so although the Shangshi Bureau is a kitchen, except for the emperor's and queen's meals, others are very casual.

What is difficult to serve is the extra meal, for example, the queen wants to cook porridge for Her Majesty This kind of thing is the most difficult to serve, because you don't know when she needs it, so the kitchen is basically on duty around the clock.

There is also a chef in the Shang Shi Bureau, and the positioning is according to the taste of the emperor and the empress, as long as you please the two of you, no one will dare to offend you in the Shang Shi Bureau.
