Hao Sui'er still had a good face on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "Ahem, the old slave only cares about Liu Jieyu, and he neglects Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao, please." ”

turned around and winked at the little yellow door that ran errands for Liu Jieyu, and said with a smile: "You go back and report to Liu Jieyu, the old slave will give Jieyu a novel soup tomorrow." ”

After that, he continued to lead Yao Huan inside.

Don't look at the small face of the imperial restaurant, hidden in the north wall of Donghua Gate, it's really easy to miss if you don't pay attention, but when you enter the door, your eyes suddenly open up.

It is a large courtyard and is divided into three parts: south, north and middle. To the north is the sorting and cleaning of meat and vegetables, to the south is the cooking room, and to the hall facing the spacious, sandalwood plan, which is the center of the dishes.

By the time the day was over, the sky was bright and the imperial dining house was already busy. In the center of the dish, a few little waiters with soap boots and green robes and beautiful eyebrows are neatly putting all kinds of cups, plates and dishes into the basket wrapped in silk brocade, and then put them on their heads and walked down the steps quickly.

"Mr. Hao is healthy."

When they saw Hao Sui, they hurried and stopped walking.

Hao Sui said a few times, "Go, go, go", and saw them go out safely, Fang turned back to Yao Huan, and introduced a little contrivedly: "These children are going to send morning food to the official family. Hey, we are slaves and maids, and we have received the grace of the official family, and we feel sorry for the official family. I hope that those who talk about officials and admonishes officials will not make a big deal about sesame mung beans, quarrel endlessly, and delay the breakfast of the official's birthday. ”

Since Yao Huan remembered who Hao Sui was, he felt awkward in his heart, but he quickly restrained himself, and felt that he might as well use him as an information feeder to grow his knowledge.

Then he also cooperated with the expression of surprise: "The official family is every day, it turns out that they come to the court first, and then eat breakfast?" ”

Hao Sui said: "The official family has been so diligent since it was in power. After using up the morning food, you have to go to the political hall, and the ministers are one by one, how many state and military affairs have to be played right. Fortunately, now it is Zhang Xianggong who assists Bi Mingjun, and Zhang Gong is the most ......"

Hao Sui, as a steward eunuch who can often deal with important ministers of foreign courts, got on the line with Zhang Dian last year, and it has become a habit to sing praises to Zhang Dian in the palace.

At this moment, he was halfway through the song, and suddenly realized that Yao Huan was the political enemy of Xianggong Zhang, the righteous daughter of the Zeng Bu family, and hurriedly stopped the words behind him.

Yao Huan thought about it, and happened to catch a glimpse of a scene behind Hao Sui, and immediately pretended to be stupid and changed the topic there: "The foolish woman asked Mr. Hao, what are those little ladies over there baking?" ”

Hao Sui turned his head to look, then got off the donkey and said, "The old slave led Yao Niangzi to take a look." ”

Yao Huan followed Hao Sui and approached, and saw two little palace maids wearing ivory-colored shirts and crimson gauze skirts, their hands as white as jade, twisting something from the huge porcelain basin and stringing it on the red willow branches. When you finish a bunch, you hand it to the other two companions in front of the pile.

Yao Huan leaned over and looked into the big porcelain trolls again.

This is not a trivial matter.

I just feel like a basin full of eyeballs, staring at myself!

Shocked suddenly, Yao Huan involuntarily let out an "ah" and took a few steps back.

Hao Sui hid his sneering, stretched out his hand, and helped Yao Huan in a false manner, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Lady, haven't you seen the eyes of a sheep?" ”

In the big porcelain basin were the freshly picked sheep eyes, the eyeballs were mixed with blood-colored fat and muscle, and the black pupils in the center reflected the sky and clouds, and they seemed to be staring at Yao Huan in a daze.

Yao Huan only felt that his back was suddenly covered with layers of coolness.

Although she is not a vegetarian, she has no psychological shadow when she eats fish, shrimp and chicken feet on weekdays, but she is scared enough to see so many eyes staring at her.

After she stabilized her mind and calmed down, she remembered that in her previous life in the company, her colleagues who came back from a business trip to the north talked vividly about a famous dish in the grassland area - stir-fried lamb's eyes with cumin chili.

Seeing is better than seeing, and seeing it is like watching a horror movie.

Well, it seems that no matter how much a self-proclaimed foodie is, he also has a practice.

I don't know if the later generation of Bei Ye, who boasted of daring to eat anything in the desert island survival documentary, can stay calm for the sake of traffic when facing a plate of eyes staring at him.

Yao Huan lowered his eyelids and didn't dare to look at the pot, so he only tried his best to make a humble tone and said to Hao Sui: "Teach Mr. Hao a joke, the people's woman's family is a small rice shop, and she can buy some mutton fat to make leek cooking cakes at most on weekdays, so she doesn't have much knowledge about this good dish made with sheep." ”

The Imperial Dining House was originally Hao Sui's sphere of influence, and the official Zhao Xu and Liu Jieyu were extremely satisfied with him.

I don't want to ask the Queen Mother this time to summon a cook from a small shop in the market to teach her what "five-flavor chicken feet" on the grounds that "the food in the palace must promote frugality", as if implying that the imperial food is extravagant.

This woman is also a person who has nothing to do with Zeng Fu, so Hao Sui was secretly hostile to Yao Huan from the beginning.

Unlike Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan and other chamberlains with some origins, Hao Sui's pattern is not high, and at this moment he has a lewd and narrow mentality, and continues to point to the rows of sheep that the palace maids are roasting and said: "Ordinary people think that the best food on the sheep is nothing more than sheep face meat, neck meat, and cucumber strips, but in fact, this sheep's eyes are the essence." Yao Niangzi, please look, this bloody roast on the fire, does the smell of blood immediately turn into a fragrance? The old slave teaches you a trick, the best thing to eat for sheep's eyes is the circle of soft tendons around the eye sockets and the juice in the eyeballs, when you eat, first bite the soft tendons, and then suck the skin of the mouth, suck it on the eyeballs, oops, the fresh soup like the liquid of the elixir and jade, and spray it into the mouth......"

Hao Sui said vividly, while speaking, he enjoyed Yao Huan's uncomfortable appearance that he wanted to avoid but couldn't avoid, and was thinking about adding something interesting, but someone outside the imperial dining house sang the newspaper:

"Zhang Shangyi has arrived!"

Hao Sui was stunned, and the two thick lips splashing with saliva finally closed.

He turned around, took a few steps forward, and gestured to the Zhang family of the Shangyi Bureau.

Hao Sui is a fourth-grade servant, and Zhang Shangyi is a fifth-grade, but because he knows Zhang Shangyi's qualifications, Hao Sui's entourage does not feel that he can bully the Zhang family at the official level.

This Zhang's family, it is said that his parents died early, and ten years ago he followed an uncle who was good at writing songs and lyrics to Kaifeng City, and it didn't take long for him to become famous in the Kaifeng literary world, and he was recommended into the palace by Fu Yin and became the female envoy of the Shangyi Bureau. She has outstanding appearance, but her demeanor is solemn, and she has been in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, and she has been promoted step by step, until now she leads the Shangyi Bureau.

She has taught today's Zi Shifu, and her popularity in the Liushang Bureau is also good, especially the best relationship with the Liu family of the Shangshi Bureau, and often serves the Empress Dowager Gao and the Empress Dowager Xiang.

According to the rules of the palace, the dishes served in front of the official family and the concubine in the imperial dining house must also be tasted by the Shangshi Bureau. Therefore, Hao Sui has always been extremely polite to the Zhang family, who seems to be able to get along with anyone.

"Yo, why did Zhang Shangyi come to the imperial dining house early in the morning?"
