Chapter 9 The gentleman is not far from the kitchen
"I've got something to do!"
"Let the slave do whatever she wants."
"I have to do these things, you go back and rest, I'll make do here for a few days."
Back to Taiji Palace, Chen Fang didn't want to go back at all, Nima, he was worried all day long when he went back, and the ghost wanted to go back.
"Childe wants to live here, and Peach also lives here, but my mother specially ordered me to serve Childe. Where Childe is, where Peach is. If you don't serve the son well, the mother will definitely blame the slave. β
"Alright, go clean up the house!"
"Yes, slave maid will clean up! I'll ask someone to bring an extra futon later. β
"I'll move you an extra bed too!"
"Gongzi Xie!"
The beds in this Yeting Palace are really too different from the Taiji Palace, hard, it is already close to Chongyang, and the night is getting colder and colder, and the Taiji Palace was originally built on the low-lying wetland of Chang'an, but it has just entered September, and it is extremely cold.
Chen Fang also felt a little strange, wasn't it a warm period in Chinese history from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, why was it so cold.
The fourth cold period was from the middle and late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and apparently it has not yet begun.
Probably in the modern era where the greenhouse effect is serious, I am not used to it, and I am not suitable for the Tang Dynasty when the warm period comes!
You must know that the era when Chen Fang came from was that the temperature in the Arctic could exceed 30 degrees in summer, and in this era, it was only close to 30 degrees in midsummer.
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August.
It seems that not only Hudi, but also this Chang'an is cold in September!
Fortunately, Taohong prepared an extra futon in advance, otherwise Chen Fang would have been woken up in the middle of the night.
On the second day, the people who had been looking for RosΓ© yesterday came early, and the carpenter had brought tools and wood, and some needed iron pots and spatulas had been prepared.
With the stove ready, the two carpenters are already busy.
Chen Fang called a few soldiers and brought a stone mill from the courtyard next to him, and Taohong called a large number of palace maids, this palace lacks everything, and the only one who does not lack palace maids.
When the stone mill was moved, everyone was sweating profusely.
Taohong didn't know where to find a donkey, Chen Fang looked at the sturdy black donkey, he hadn't eaten donkey meat for a long time.
What are you thinking, others are unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the donkey is useless!
also came to Datang, Chen Fang's food has not been good, and Chen Fang will see that this black donkey has this idea.
When everything was ready, Chen Fang began to direct the two healthy women to wash the seeds and stir-fry.
Not to mention, Chen Fang was rummaging through his memories while directing, and the two healthy women who were used to doing rough work in the palace also did a good job.
In the stir-frying, a peculiar spicy fragrance of rapeseed wafted in the courtyard and drifted into other courtyards.
Peach snorted, and the palace maid who was probing hurriedly ran away.
"Childe, drink saliva, just let them be good with these rough jobs, Childe sits here and rests!"
Chen Fang sat on a newly moved stone bench in the courtyard, the stone warmed by the autumn sun.
Peach rubbed Chen Fang's shoulders and pounded his back.
These hands used to serve Wu Meiniang, but now they are serving Chen Fang.
Two healthy women worked hard to stir-fry the rapeseeds, and the fried rapeseeds were spread out in the courtyard to dry and dissipate heat.
In a moment the donkey will begin to work.
Chen Fang looked at the sun and was comfortable.
In the evening, two carpenters did not need to be instructed to rush there, and torches were lit in the courtyard.
Chen Fang had eaten the food prepared by Taohong, but he still locked himself in the house during the meal.
"Hurry up and squeeze the rapeseed oil, I really don't want to eat this boiled thing."
Chen Fang thought.
On the second day, the carpenter finally made all the tools, vacated a large room, and emptied the inside, and Chen Fang commanded several soldiers to convert this place into a simple oil mill.
After steaming the embryo and squeezing it, several soldiers insisted on wearing military uniforms to squeeze oil at first, and after a while, they took off their military uniforms one after another, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
One of the strong men couldn't stand the heat, so he simply took off his shirt, and Peach was looking at the middle of the square at this time, and when he saw the soldier's naked upper body, he screamed and ran away.
As for it, haven't you seen this son several times.
The two healthy women in the oil mill watched with relish, and they knew the taste of the marrow, which was the difference between a girl and a woman.
At dusk today, the rapeseed oil was freshly baked.
Looking at the oily and greenish rapeseed oil, Peach directly dipped a little bit of green onion white fingers into her mouth.
"Phew! Childe, it's so unpalatable! β
"Haha, that's not how it eats!"
Chen Fang couldn't help but be amused by the bitterness on this girl's face.
"How do you eat that?"
"You go to the kitchen and get some vegetables and meat, forget it, I'll go with you."
"Ahh This can't be done, how is the kitchen where Childe goes. β
Sure enough, this is ancient times, the gentleman is far away from cooking, Chen Fang was just about to say that he was going to the kitchen to find vegetables, and Taohong immediately stopped in front of Chen Fang.
"Yes! Childe must not go to the kitchen, if there is anything heavy, we can help you get it. β
The two healthy women also hurried over to help stop Chen Fang.
Nima, don't you just want to go to the kitchen and get some food, as for it?
It seems that there is still a huge cultural difference between ancient and modern eras!
Chen Fang thought for a while, if he insisted on cooking, he didn't know how to stop these people.
It seems that the only way to do it is to use a trick.
"Peach, why did Niangniang ask people to search all over Chang'an City to find these two bags of rapeseed, why did so many people accompany me to work hard to squeeze oil here, didn't I just want to see how the oil tasted. Now that the oil is squeezed out, it's time to try how the oil stir-fry is. You don't let me go to the kitchen now, is it a blatant disobedience?"
"Slaves don't dare!"
Peach suddenly knelt on the ground, and the sound of her knees hitting the ground made Chen Fang feel distressed.
Chen Fang hurriedly helped the girl up.
"Then take me to the kitchen of this Pavilion Palace now!"
"Okay, the slave will lead the way."
Look, Wu Meiniang moved out, and this girl was well-behaved all of a sudden. The peach was obedient, and the two healthy women naturally didn't dare to stop it.
The kitchen is not the Imperial Dining Room, which is a place dedicated to preparing food for the nobles in the Imperial Palace. There is only one in the Imperial Dining Room, but there are several in the kitchen. This is like the leadership canteen and employee canteen in the factory in later generations.
The kitchen of the Yeting Palace is just a place for the palace ladies to cook, so it is very simple.
Seeing Peach, several kitchen ladies who were waiting in the kitchen hurriedly came over to greet her. Seeing Chen Fang, a young cook took a peek and immediately lowered her head.
In the past two days, the palace maids in the Yeting Palace have been spread all over, and there is a Fang Gongzi who is doing things for the mother in the Yeting Palace, and I heard that the person is extremely handsome.
When I saw it at this time, I was really personable, and I looked like a handsome little man.
Chen Fang knew the young cook's thoughts, and asked the cook to lead the way and walked directly into the storage room where the ingredients were stored.
And there, Taohong carefully placed the bowl of rapeseed oil that Chen Fang asked her to bring next to the stove, and followed in.
