Chapter 101: Cooking

Yunyan glanced at Mu Cong suspiciously: "Does Master Hou want Yunyan to cook for what, and for whom?" ”

Mu Cong's appearance really doesn't look like asking Yunyan to cook for him, and the paperwork, the brocade cloth wrapped outside is obviously not something that ordinary people can take.

Sure enough, Mu Cong put the paperwork in his hand in front of Yunyan: "Take a look for yourself, here is the menu, Benhou wants to trouble you to go to the palace and cook a meal for the emperor." ”

Yunyan was slightly stunned, but she didn't think much about it, it was an opportunity to go into the palace to cook for the emperor, if she entered the palace to cook a meal for the emperor and was praised by the emperor, then there would be a basis for establishing a firm foothold in this capital, Yunyan thought so, she was relieved, she took Mu Cong's paperwork, just looked at it, it was all some snacks from the Qiang country, it seems that Mu Cong felt good after eating it before, so I wanted to recommend Yunyan to cook for the emperor.

Thinking like this, Yunyan felt that maybe this opportunity was arranged by Mu Mo, and he was even more grateful to Mu Mo in his heart.

In this way, after confirming that the dishes were what she could do, Yunyan saluted, said goodbye to Mu Cong, and returned to the inn.

Before leaving, Mu Cong told Yunyan that the specific time for cooking this time had not yet been set, so he hoped that Yunyan would stay in the inn as much as possible and not move around at will, so as not to find anyone when he wanted to contact her.

After Yunyan returned to the inn, she was ready to pack up her tools, after all, it was more convenient to cook with her own things, so she was going to bring her tools to the palace.

But when Yunyan was packing up her things, Gu Sanniang and Haoxue happened to come back from outside, and when they saw Yunyan packing up, Gu Sanniang was stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”

Yunyan glanced at Gu Sanniang: "Just now you went to the market to hang out, I received an invitation from the Marquis of Mucong and went to the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye said that he wanted me to go to the palace to cook a meal for the emperor." ”

Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue were both stunned, they glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they could see that the other party thought the same as themselves, so they said together: "Why did you go to the palace to cook?" Why do you cook for the emperor? ”

Yunyan was slightly stunned, she didn't think too much about it originally, but now after Haoxue and Gu Sanniang proposed, Yunyan thought about it carefully, but she didn't think about it badly, she only chuckled: "It should be the opportunity that Mumo helped me win, I probably want to go to the palace to show my face, after all, this is the fastest way to make a name for myself in the capital." ”

Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue were not as optimistic as Yun Yan, and they were even more worried after hearing Yun Yan's explanation.

"You have a special identity now, if you enter the palace, if your identity is seen through and your purpose is seen through, it will be easy for the emperor to do something to you at that time." Gu Sanniang said and sighed: "No, no matter what, for your safety, you must not enter the palace." ”

Yunyan also sighed: "Auntie, you are just too cautious, this is a rare opportunity, if you don't grasp the opportunity this time, I don't know when I will have such an opportunity." ”

Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue glanced at each other, only frowning, they knew that Yunyan had always been very assertive, so it was Yunyan's decision, and the two of them must not be able to convince Yunyan to change all this.

So the only way to stop Yunyan is to find a way to trap her in this inn and not let her go to the palace.

"How are you going to get there?" Gu Sanniang put down the topic of Fang Cai and asked Yunyan directly.

Yunyan thought that Gu Sanniang and they had been persuaded by themselves, so they no longer prevented themselves from going to the palace to cook for the emperor, so they were defenseless, and said directly: "Later, the Hou Mansion of Yong'an will send someone to come to inform, I will stay in the inn for a few days, as long as I don't miss the people who came to inform the Hou Mansion, it is good that I have not decided when to go, but the Hou Mansion will send someone to pick me up later." ”

Gu Sanniang nodded: "In that case, is there anything that needs to be prepared?" Also, will the Hou Mansion send someone to protect you? Or can you bring someone there? Why don't you bring me and Haoxue with you? ”

"No," Yunyan shook his head: "I went to the palace this time just as a cook, if I bring someone a little bit of etiquette, although we are not very familiar with the rules in the palace of the Qiang State, and we are not very clear about the temper and habits of the Emperor of the Qiang State, but referring to the emperor of our country, for the people under them, they do not want to see overly squeamish women." ”

Yunyan said, frowning: "I also thought about whether I should take you over, but auntie, there are many nobles in the palace, I heard that Yong'an Hou can't take a small servant when he enters the palace, I naturally can't bring any maids, Haoxue and they have taught me two tricks before, I don't think there should be any danger in the palace, after all, I am Yong'an Hou sent into the palace, if it is not good for me, it will be a blow to Yong'an Hou's face, although I have no status, but at least in the Qiang country, Mu Cong is still a little powerful." ”

Even if Yunyan said this, Gu Sanniang and the others still felt very worried, but now that Yunyan had obviously made up her mind, it was inconvenient for her to say anything, so she only took Haoxue to the kitchen first under the pretext that Yunyan was preparing food.

Now that the meal has passed, there is no food in the inn, and the chefs have already gone down for a lunch break, and when Hao Xue and Gu Sanniang walked to the kitchen, there was no one else around.

"What do you think about this?" Gu Sanniang looked at Haoxue, cooking food for Yunyan was just an excuse, Gu Sanniang's original intention was to discuss with Haoxue how to leave Yunyan behind.

Haoxue didn't have much to do: "The decision made by the Holy Maiden will never be changed at will, and if you want to stop the Holy Maiden now, you must find a good excuse to leave the Holy Maiden in the inn." Saying this, Hao Xue seemed to think of something: "I still have cartilage scattered on my body, if I go down in the water and let the holy woman take it, then she will feel soreness and weakness, even those cooking tools can't be picked up, and then there will be no way to go to the palace to cook for the emperor of the Qiang State." ”

"No!" Gu Sanniang said sharply: "The weight of cartilage powder is really difficult to control, if you give less, it is naturally useless, but if you accidentally give too much, it will hurt Yunyan's body, how can such a dangerous thing be used at will?" ”

Haoxue seemed to be a little deflated: "What does the lady think?" If it weren't for the discomfort of the body, how could the saint be stopped? ”

That's the trouble! Gu Sanniang sighed, she couldn't hurt Yunyan's body, and she wanted to stop Yunyan, she couldn't do anything after thinking about it.

"In this case, we can only take risks!" Gu Sanniang thought for a long time before making a final decision: "You go and bring the cartilage powder, and I will personally control the dosage." ”

Haoxue immediately turned around and returned to the room, the cartilage scattered in the package, and now Yunyan was resting in the room.

"What are you looking for?" Yunyan sat at the table drinking tea, and when she saw Haoxue coming to turn over the package, she asked softly.

Haoxue was stunned for a moment, she blocked Yunyan's sight with her body, and then took out a porcelain bottle with cartilage scattered from the package and quickly stuffed it into her arms, and also took out a towel: "I accidentally soiled Madame's clothes, our towels are not on our bodies, there is nothing to wipe down, so I came up to look for it." ”

Yunyan didn't suspect it: "Auntie's clothes have been worn for a few days, anyway, there are clean ones in the package, so why don't you change them." ”

Haoxue chuckled while repacking the package: "Even if you want to change it, it's better to deal with it first, after all, it's not easy to clean if it's dyed." ”

Yunyan didn't say anything anymore, these things were all done by Haoxue and Gu Sanniang, and several times she wanted to help wash her clothes, but she was pushed away by Gu Sanniang and Haoxue.

Haoxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that Yunyan had already believed it, so it would be fine.

Gu Sanniang made several dishes in the kitchen, and sprinkled some cartilage powder on top of the rice.

This medicine is colorless and odorless, sprinkled on the rice, and as the steam rises, it quickly blends with the rice.

In order to avoid Yunyan ingesting too much cartilage, Gu Sanniang did not sprinkle medicine powder in other dishes, she put all the meals on the tray, and then sprinkled some sauce on her clothes and wiped them clean with a towel soaked in water, pretending to look like she had cleaned up her clothes after they were soiled.

After everything was ready, she glanced at Hao Xue, and went upstairs with the tray to find Yunyan.

"Eat something, you haven't eaten anything this day, you're very thin, and you haven't eaten well." Gu Sanniang has always regarded Yunyan as a daughter, and she naturally dislikes it with a strong sense of concern when she speaks.

Yunyan chuckled, not suspecting that picking up chopsticks was like digging rice.

At this moment, the door was suddenly slammed open.

Yun Yan's hand moved, looked up at the door, and saw Mu Mo panting and standing at the door: "You still have the heart to eat, the emperor is in a hurry, let you go to the palace now, saying that you want to eat something in the afternoon, and what you want to eat are some snacks that have been lost for many years!" ”

Yunyan put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Didn't your father say that he would notify in advance?" ”

"Who can guess the emperor's thoughts!" Mu Mo said and stepped forward and took Yunyan's hand and walked out: "I have prepared refreshments in my carriage, if you are hungry, you can eat some." As he spoke, his eyes swept to the box containing cooking tools on the side, and Mu Mo picked it up directly.

Now that the situation is urgent, Yunyan doesn't care about saying anything, so she just says goodbye to Gu Sanniang and the others and goes with Mumo.

"Madame, what now?" Hao Xue looked at the food on the table that had not been touched at all, and was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"What else can we do, we can only be ready now, and we can go to the palace to rob people at any time." Gu Sanniang said, and told Haoxue to change into a strong outfit.
