The morning light appeared, and there was a long queue under the palace wall of Donghua Gate.

Those who deliver charcoal, vegetables, and all kinds of miscellaneous workers who are conscripted for long-term and short-term work must be checked by the guards of the forbidden army one by one before they can be put into the palace.

Shen Fuzhi was like those parents who sent their children to the scientific examination, and was about to line up with Yao Huan, but a little waiter in Tsing Yi came from the direction of the palace gate, which was Ma Yun who led Yao Huan into the palace that day to receive the reward.

"Second sister-in-law Shen stays, Mrs. Yao quickly go in directly with me, and instructed the Queen Mother to wait for you in the Donghua Gate."

After the restructuring of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial kitchen was subordinate to Guanglu Temple, which consisted of the Taiguan Office, the Treasure Bureau, the Material Warehouse, the Cheese Courtyard, and the Imperial Vegetarian Kitchen.

The steward of the Taiguan Bureau, Hao Sui, received Yao Huan from Ma Yun, led her along the wall under the Donghua Gate, walked less than half a mile, and came to the imperial dining house in the east corridor of the palace.

"Yao Niangzi, this is a place to serve meals for the former dynasty, the back garden and the second mansion of the Great Interior."

Hao Sui is over thirty years old, although he is a eunuch, he is as tall as a wu, and he has a dense beard on his chin, even in the forbidden army, it is rare to have such a mold and appearance. When he spoke, he was also in a pure tone, without a female voice.

When Yao Huan saw his appearance, he felt a thrill in his heart, and said secretly, this can't be Tong Guan, right? Because of the Tong Guan recorded in historical records, it is also ...... Very unsissy.

However, Tong Guan is the adopted son of Li Xian, who led the army and supervised the army, and should have been fighting at the border pass, not from the palace kitchen.

After listening to Hao Sui's self-reported name, it was indeed not the eunuch Tongguan who later became one of the "Six Thieves of Bianjing" in history, Yao Huan still felt that the name was familiar.

Hao Sui, Hao Sui......

It must be a famous figure in history. Is it a good name or a bad name?

Yao Huan was checking his memory, and suddenly heard someone behind him urgently calling "Mr. Hao, Mr. Hao".

A small yellow door ran to Hao Sui and made a big gesture: "Congratulations to Mr. Hao, Mr. Hao sent Jiang Qingyue to Liu Jieyu yesterday, and Liu Jieyu has entered." Jieyu came to ask Mr. today, how did Jiang Qingyue do it, so that she could teach the small kitchen and learn it. ”

Hao Suiyin said: "Liu Jieyu is happy and has no appetite, this is the most important thing in the palace." Liu Jieyu has always loved to eat roast mutton and stewed radish, but this time she smelled the mutton and wanted to vomit, but the radish could be eaten. It's just that the radish is boiled in vain, which is the vegetarian food advocated by the sour and rotten literati outside the palace, and it has no taste when you think about it, and there must be meat soup to simmer. ”

Xiao Huangmen pounded his head like garlic: "It's this radish soup, teaching Liu Jieyu to feel strange, it still looks like clear water, how can it be so delicious." ”

Hao Sui said: "Fukang in the world, why is it difficult to buy a good pot of soup in the palace?" I told the cook to stew the soup with a half-year-old hen first, and after the meat was crispy and rotten, pick it up and discard it, and then put the duck caught in the Jinmingchi Imperial Garden in the soup, and stew it until the duck shape is loose and then take it out. You listen, this is the key, you have to use the shelled river shrimp to chop into meat puree, the first raw egg to the yellow, leaving only the egg white, and the shrimp meat puree into balls, with long chopsticks clamping, in the soup turn, turn, until those yellow clear, blood whistling oil star foam, all sucked clean, before stopping. ”

It was impossible for Xiao Huangmen to taste the radish soup that Liu Jieyu drank, but at this moment, listening to Hao Sui's words, his throat involuntarily swallowed a few times, and muttered: "That shrimp balls have sucked chicken fat and duck fat, how delicious they are." ”

Hao Sui scoffed.

I have never seen the poor sour things in the world, and when I hear the word oil, I drool.

But because this little yellow door is the messenger in Liu Jieyu's palace, Hao Sui still said politely: "Hey, the egg white shrimp balls are just for sweeping the soup, and since the soup has been cleared, the balls will be thrown away." ”

Xiao Huangmen sneered and said flatteringly: "Yes, Liu Jieyu also feels strange, how can the soup with a very strong meat fragrance be crystal clear, and the round white radish in it is just like the moon." Liu Jieyu said that it is no wonder that Mr. Hao used Li Bai's poem 'Jiang Qingyue is close to people'. ”

Yao Huan was listening, and said in his heart, what Hao Sui used was not the practice of "boiling water cabbage" in later generations.

Listening to the little yellow door relay Liu Jieyu's evaluation, Yao Huan muttered silently: Even a grass folk like me who has no poetic background also knows that Jiang Qingyue's neighbor was written by Meng Haoran.

It seems that this Liu Jieyu is really as written in the history books.

Liu Jieyu...... Suddenly, Yao Huan finally understood why Hao Sui, who was in charge of the imperial kitchen, sounded so familiar.

"Hao" is not a common surname, and "Sui" is not a common name.

It shouldn't be a duplicate name.

The Hao Sui in front of him must be the person recorded in the historical records of later generations. He will join forces with Prime Minister Zhang Dian to help Liu Jieyu, the favorite concubine of today's official family, to frame the queen Meng for witchcraft in the palace, and provoke the official Zhao Xu to depose the queen of the Meng family and drive her to Yaohua Palace to be a female Taoist.

Although the disaster of party strife in the Northern Song Dynasty is staggering, the palace fighting in the Houyuan is not fierce compared with other dynasties.

Only the innocent case of Empress Meng of Zhezong Chao was both unjust and tragic.

Queen Meng was not liked by her husband Zhao Xu, and only gave birth to a princess after marriage. In the third year of Shaosheng, the little princess was seriously ill and the treatment did not improve, and Queen Meng's sister was in a hurry, so she brought Fu Shui into the palace, hoping to save her niece's life with the help of ghosts and gods. The little princess still died unfortunately, and Queen Meng's adoptive mother took the nun into the palace without permission and secretly did things.

Empress Dowager Gao was a thoroughly old party, and when she was regent, she reused Sima Guang, and Sima Guang ruthlessly degraded Zhang Dian and others under Wang Anshimen of the new party. Zhao Xu, who was determined to continue the great cause of reform of his father's Divine Sect, was extremely disgusted with this grandmother. After his grandmother drove to the west, Zhao Xu immediately recalled Zhang Dian and other new party members.

Empress Meng, because she was chosen by Empress Gao at the beginning, Zhang Xuan for the sake of the whole [Bayi Chinese .zwdu8.] In the face of the implementation of the new policy and the complete washing of the influence of the Empress Dowager Gao, he united with Liu Jieyu, Hao Sui and others in the harem to use the two "heresies" before and after the untimely death of the little princess to torture the palace maids around Empress Meng, beating more than a dozen people to break their hands and feet, and finally got the confession they wanted to achieve the goal of abolishing the queen.

Yao Huan was secretly looking at this Hao Sui at this moment, and a wave of disgust surged up.

There have been political struggles in all dynasties and generations, and there have been many assassinations and assassinations of party leaders.

However, the servants at the bottom were tortured into tricks, and if they didn't recruit, they were tortured in the cripples and to death, and they were also vicious.

Hao Suizheng was proud, tilted his head sideways, Yao Huan couldn't hide it, and the strange look on his face taught Hao Sui to take a look.

Although Hao Sui had to greet the palace maid in the Empress Dowager's palace, and the Yao family, who knew that this food and food shop, seemed to be quite blue-eyed to the Empress Dowager, but after all, he was conceited as a slave of the Son of Heaven, and where could he afford to open a restaurant and beg for a living in his heart.

I heard that because of the observance of festivals and the fact that she would never marry again, she did not know Zeng Fu, and became the righteous daughter of the eldest son of Zeng Bu's generalized generation, and now she has somehow climbed to the palace again.

Hao Sui thought about this, and sneered more and more secretly: Ho ho, if you really hold the archway, you should stay at home, embroider flowers, weave brocade, eat fasting and chant Buddha in peace, come out and show your face, and the word fame and fortune is not in your mind. Look at her eyes rolling around, she must be listening to my imperial cuisine method, so that she can go out and brag.
