Chapter 1 Enter the palace to show your skills
"Jiang Baizhu! What the hell are you doing! Is this how you heal? A neutral voice resounded in the Jiangsheng Hall, startling a yard of chickens and ducks.
"Dad, what's wrong? Didn't I do what you wanted? What else do you want? Jiang Baizhu was feeding the chickens and ducks, glared at Jiang's father dissatisfied, and complained, "Look, the movement is so loud that it scares my chickens and ducks away." β
"It's good to be scared to death! Take a good look at the yard of herbs, what kind of chickens and ducks do you raise! You're a man, not a cook! Do you want to me off to death? Father Jiang was so angry that his beard was crooked, pointed at Jiang Baizhu, and began to count her crimes.
"Last time, the daughter-in-law of the neighbor Li said that she was not enough to feed the child, so she asked you to prescribe a few medicines, and you are good, let the family stew papaya and pig's trotters all day long! That's it, and last time, Chen Gongzi in the back alley said that he was weak in his kidneys, so you let him eat oysters and leeks all day long, and he was stunned to eat people with nosebleeds every day! I don't care about you anymore! But this time, Aunt Wang, who was on the other side of the door, said that she was incapacitated, chest tightness and shortness of breath, what do you mean by letting people take some diet pills! A good farming girl with five big and three thick is stunned and eats into a thin person! Do you have to smash our Jiangshengtang signboard to be willing! β
When Father Jiang said this, sorrow came from it, and he wailed: "What kind of sin have I done, the name of our Jiang family's divine doctor for generations is going to be folded on your bastard's head." β
Jiang Baizhu's face was black: "Dad, you feel too good about yourself, we are just a small medical hall, grandfather, grandfather, great-grandfather, but just a barefoot doctor!" Look at youβ"
"That's it! Don't quibble with yourself anymore! Our Jiang family's century-old foundation must not be buried in your hands! I have already told Lao Gu, he has two sons, the younger one is my son-in-law, the auspicious days of the zodiac have been chosen, these days you will obediently raise your chickens and ducks at home to make your meals, when you get married, my ability, naturally there will be an uncle inheritance! Father Jiang decided categorically.
"Gu? Gu Shao? Jiang Baizhu's eyes darkened, and his mind flashed to the Gu family medicine hall, who had never left the needle in his hand, and heard that there was a dead person, so he took the silver and went up to beg someone to sell the body to him for acupuncture research.
She actually wants to marry this acupuncture maniac? No, no, no! She was afraid that before she entered the cave room, she would be covered with silver needles all over her body!
Jiang Baizhu has always been bold and colorful, so he packed up his softness that night, took his baggage, quietly turned over from the wall of Jiangshengtang, ran all the way to the mouth of the alley, and then hired a boatman and left Qingzhu Town far away.
Three days later, Jiang Baizhu, who was dressed as a man, was already sitting on the most prosperous Kyoto teahouse in Daxuanguo drinking tea.
Although his father is just a small Langzhong, but his medical skills are really not covered, and he has saved a lot of people over the years, all of whom have three religions and nine ranks, and they all inherited her father's kindness, so looking for her is also extraordinarily hard.
This is the nineteenth time she has thrown off the person who is looking for her to go back to marry, and this time, fortunately, she was clever enough to rush into the ready-to-wear shop, change into men's clothes, and stick her beard, so she narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
Jiang Baizhu ordered a pot of tea and poured it into his smoking throat, but suddenly heard the people around him start talking.
"I heard that this time the salary of the new imperial chef in the palace has risen again, originally twenty gold, but now it has risen to thirty gold."
"Wow, so much money, I knew what kind of fame I had to take at the beginning, just go to be a cook, thirty gold a month, three hundred and sixty taels of gold a year, and the master rewards, tsk, beautiful."
Recruiting a chef? Jiang Baizhu's beautiful apricot eyes suddenly lit up! Isn't cooking what she's good at? Her father always scolded her for not learning good medical skills, making food all day long, and not doing her job! But the imperial chef's salary is thirty gold! Thirty gold, her father's small broken medical hall, how much silver does he earn a year?
Jiang Baizhu's heart was full of calculations, and her cooking skills had already appeared in her mind, and she had become a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the father-in-law and the imperial guards who hugged her in front of her were surrounded by the grand occasion of returning to Qingzhu Town.
"Isn't that person a bit like Miss Jiang? The portrait given by Dr. Jiang seems to be like this-" A voice suddenly broke Jiang Baizhu's dream.
"Yes, that's her! Miss Jiang, come back with us, your father is going crazy looking for you! Another man with the portrait hurried forward.
Jiang Baizhu escaped with such hard work, how could he easily follow them back and marry Gu Shao's stunned son? She was so anxious that she glanced left and right, seeing that the two people were about to come over to block herself, she couldn't be afraid, and jumped out of the window with her hands and feet.
Fortunately, she is poor and has no money to sit in the private room on the second floor, otherwise her leg will be broken! She ran wildly as she could, and secretly rejoiced.
"Miss Jiang, don't run! Don't run! The two of them also chased after each other and shouted, "Doctor Jiang said, if you run away again, if you go home, I will break your legs and give Gu Gongzi acupuncture!" β
Jiang Baizhu: "......." Her whole person was frightened and ran faster!
Finally got rid of the two of them in a hurry, and Jiang Baizhu saw an imperial list fluttering gracefully in the wind from a distance.
She has very good eyesight, and she can see the three vigorous and powerful characters on it from a long distance - Zhao Imperial Chef!
Oh my God, it's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there!
Jiang Baizhu quickened his pace, flew to the front of the imperial list, took off the imperial list, and shouted loudly: "I want to be the imperial chef!" What about people! β
This emperor list was posted out for several days and no one revealed it, and the little father-in-law was about to cry when he arrived, and finally caught a fool who had never seen the world, and he was not ambiguous, and he simply put Jiang Baizhu on the roster very neatly, and brought people back to the palace.
However, this imperial dining room seems to be a little different from what I imagined.
"Rock-paper-scissors, rock-paper-scissors! Ah, I won, I don't have to cook today! β
"It's so risky, I won too! I don't have to do it! β
"It's not fair, it's a good three-game best-of-two, one more time, one more time-"
Jiang Baizhu followed behind the little father-in-law who led her back to the palace, and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him in amazement.
"Everyone, be quiet, here's a newcomer, a newcomer is here." The little father-in-law handed her over to a fat middle-aged man and left, Jiang Baizhu glanced at the man's brand, he was the head of the imperial dining room.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" Those cooks, when they heard that the newcomer was coming, all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Baizhu together, and applauded.
Jiang Baizhu was flattered and said to everyone: "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Baizhu, and I am from Qingzhu Town, Qingzhouββ"
