Zhang Shangyi pursed her lips and said, "Sister Liu has been sick recently, I'll help her come to see what new dishes are available in the imperial diet, can't you?" Again, I'm here to see the deceased. I was ordered by the Queen Mother and the Empress to go to the Wang's Mansion to see the paintings, and it happened that this Yao Lady was also there that day, I tasted her barbecue skills, and came back to talk to the two Niangniang. I didn't want to send the landscape shaft to the Queen Mother yesterday, and the Queen Mother said that Xuanyao Niangzi came to the imperial dining house to teach dishes. ”

Without waiting for Hao Sui to react, she looked at Yao Huan and exclaimed, "Yao Niangzi, why is your face so ugly?" ”

Listen to the sound of gongs and drums, and listen to the sound of speech.

Hao Sui, who was full of holes in her heart, smacked Zhang Shangyi's tone, as if she had some protection for Yao Huan.

"Sister Shangyi, when I was waiting for the hospital today, Zhang Xianggong said to the people who were waiting for him that he would eat roast lamb eyes at noon. No, it's roasting, Yao Niangzi saw it, some, some are unsightly. Alas, how do I know, Yao Niangzi is also a cook and eater, and she will be afraid of being like this when she sees this sheep. ”

When he said this, he called out to the busy palace people around him: "You move a chair and ask Mrs. Yao to sit down." ”

When Zhang Shangyi heard this, her faintly curved willow eyebrows were raised, and she stepped forward to take Yao Huan's hand and asked, "Can Mrs. Yao slow down?" ”

Her hands were soft, warm and warm.

Yao Huan felt that his cold fingertips seemed to have returned to yang all of a sudden.

Zhang Shangyi smiled lightly: "Don't say it's Yao Niangzi, even an old man like me who has been in the palace for ten years, and I can't look at this thing." Mr. Hao has tasted it, how delicious is it? Why is there a government hall over there, and this is ordered every once in a while? ”

"Hey Zhang Shangyi, the lunch that the fathers eat, how can we be qualified to taste it as slaves. However, Zhang Xianggong has always praised our imperial dining center for doing a good job in this sheep's eye. ”

"Oh," Zhang Shangyi nodded, "Then please ask Xianggong Zhang to eat more today." The Queen Mother said to the official family that tomorrow, whether it is the political hall, the rooms of the Chinese book and the rooms of the Privy Council, they will eat chicken feet for lunch. ”

"Huh?" Hao Sui was stunned.

"What? Unbelief? Later, Guanglu Temple had a steward to pass on the edict. ”

"Letter, letter," Hao hurriedly continued, "It must be Yao Niangzi's good craftsmanship, and the Queen Mother is satisfied, so that the officials who come to the top will taste it." ”

Zhang Shangyi did not follow Hao Sui's hypocritical compliment, but smiled, and said: "Delicious is second, and the Queen Mother mainly feels that this can advocate frugality." ”

When Hao Sui heard the second half of the sentence, he felt a little nervous, wondering if Zhang Shangyi had obtained the edict of the Empress Dowager, and implied that the imperial diet was extravagant and wasteful.

On the surface, Hao Sui is willing to give.

But if you button the hat for the imperial kitchen, he Hao Suike may not be as good as his name, he is really "easy-going" to the point of being like a soft persimmon, and you can pinch it as you want.

Anyway, there is Liu Jieyu who blows enough pillow wind in the official's house, I am a dignified four-grade servant, and I am afraid that you, a fifth-grade female official who has been painted with tender paint and is still an old cucumber, and it is impossible to climb on the dragon bed left and right?

Hao Sui touched the beard on his chin. There are few eunuchs in the palace who can grow beards like him, and these beards are valuable.

Touching his beard, he seems to have changed back into a real man, and he can have an overwhelming psychological advantage over a woman like Zhang Shangyi.

"Shang Yi rest assured, my imperial dining house has prepared five baskets of chicken feet today. These cooks, after roasting the sheep's eyes, worshiped Yao Niangzi as a teacher, and learned this craft that even the Queen Mother was full of. It's a pity that the old slave has no time to learn, Liu Jieyu is so happy, she pointed to the old slave in the palace to make some tricks on the soup, coaxing Liu Jieyu to eat a few bites and raise a good dragon fetus. ”

Zhang Shangyi saw Hao Sui's arrogance that he couldn't hide at all, but he didn't seem to want to lose face to him, so he turned to a curious tone and asked, "What kind of strange dish?" ”

Hao Suixin said, the master really worked the food to get Liu Jieyu's favor, and he didn't brag about it, so what does it matter if he opens his eyes with you.

Then he raised a breath of spirit, and said with a smug face: "Only choose half a catty of mackerel, take the gills on both sides alive, pinch it with pepper to remove the fishy and wash it." The wax goose that came from the south only took the breast, and the slice was as thin as a cicada's wings. The spring water taken from Higashiyama can be boiled together with two good things. ”

Zhang Shangyi pursed her lips: "Although there are only two materials, it takes a lot of effort to prepare them, and Mr. Hao really thought about it." ”

When she was entertaining Hao Sui, she obviously felt that Yao Huan's whole person was relieved, so she turned to her again and said, "Yao Niangzi, I heard that you have to live in the palace for three or four days, and then you have to go to Liu Jieyu's palace." My yard is clean and cheap, so you can go and live in my yard. This matter was also agreed to the Queen Mother. ”

……

After the beginning of the unitary period, the sun slanted so much that it pulled out a long shadow on the ground from the walls of the palace and the towers.

Yao Huan carried the burden on his back, left the imperial dining house, and walked to the Liushang Bureau in the south with a kind old woman.

Zhang's family is of a very high grade among the palace people, living in an independent courtyard next to the Liushang Bureau, and on weekdays, there are two palace maids, one old and one young, to serve.

"Mrs. Yao, my wife's surname is Liu, I have a great transformation, and I can always serve Zhang Shangyi. Shang Yi was very busy every day, and he only came back when he handed over. But she ordered it yesterday, the wing room has been cleaned up for the lady, and the hot water is also prepared, and the lady washes and washes first to relieve fatigue. The old slave went to serve dinner for the lady. ”

During the day, Na Hao Sui was almost always staring at the imperial diet in the political hall and the inner garden, but he never appeared again.

Xu Yao Huan originally entered the palace by nodding to the Queen Mother, early in the morning, Zhang Shangyi came to support her again, Yao Huan did not suffer any neglect or even trouble in the imperial dining house, not only did the wife take a few palace maids to try out the five-flavor chicken feet, but also saw the rare palace dishes, if you ask a few words, the cooks are also attentive and thoughtful to her.

This whole day, it was hard but not bitter, but at this moment, stepping into Zhang Shangyi's small courtyard and smelling the sweet fragrance of osmanthus in the air, Yao Huan's mood became more and more relaxed.

When the moon was in the sky, Zhang Shangyi also returned.

Yao Huan heard the movement and hurriedly stepped out of the room.

Compared with the first time I saw her in the morning, Zhang Shangyi was obviously much more tired.

It is not easy to be a solid day errand for the Son of Heaven's family. The more you are in a high position, the more you have a great responsibility, and you can't get out of the half-point pool.

Zhang Shangyi accepted Yao Huan's salute, and Wen Yan asked, "Is the imperial dining house still smooth?" ”

Yao Huan bowed: "Xie Shangyi is worried, the ladies are very kind, and I have also gained a lot of knowledge." There are a few people in the market who can have the same luck as me. ”

"Okay, then, come to my house and have a bowl of tea. Granny Liu, order two bowls of the little dragon group phoenix cake that Concubine Zhu rewarded the day before yesterday. ”

After Yao Huan crossed over, on weekdays and nights, he often saw his aunt Shen Fuzhizi carefully ordering a bowl of tea and sitting in the courtyard to admire the moon. Because of this, she knows a little bit about Song Cha's fur.

At this time, it has not yet reached the era of Huizong Xuanhe, and the dragon group Shengxue has not yet been developed, this little dragon group phoenix cake is not the Hermes in Song tea, but at least Chanel.

But this is not the point, the point is that Yao Huan figured out that Zhang Shangyi seemed to be not only a person close to the Queen Mother, but also Concubine Zhu seemed to be quite polite to her.

At least there is a reward.

The rewards given by the boss to the staff have the meaning of showing attitude.

In this elegant era, appreciating tea cakes and inkstones can be compared with bounty and silver, and have a long face.

Zhang Shangyi took a sip of the tea powder and said lightly: "Today, I don't know how many good mackerel have been wasted in the imperial dining center. ”
