061 Cold Palace Cool Night (4)
Feng Rin was as fierce as a tiger, and the small stove was completed the next day, which caused everyone in the cold palace to come and see the excitement.
Anyway, it will open sooner or later, Feng Rin followed them to see, and steamed a pot of rice cakes to entertain them.
After studying the complete range of sauces and seasonings brought back by the eunuchs, Feng Rinlin concluded that the current economic level of Dongyue should be comparable to that of the late Qin and early Han dynasties in China.
Most of Dongyue's sauces are made of minced meat, and the seasonings are pitiful, wine and vinegar appear, but the salt is coarse marinade, the sugar is caramel (maltose), what edible oil, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, cooking wine, cumin, pepper, bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, Lao Gan Ma......
Not at all.
The ingredients and seasonings are so scarce, and the cooking methods are pitiful, it is nothing more than steaming and baking, and the taste is bland.
Even the emperor had never eaten tomato scrambled eggs, and Feng Rin felt that he, the emperor, was really numb.
Feng Rin got up early and steamed a large pot of rice cakes to dry outside, and when she went to see it again at noon, there was only the bottom of the pot left.
Kou'er was a little worried: "Miss, if we send it like this, will we be poor?" ”
Feng Rin couldn't help laughing: "Silly, that little thing can't eat your young lady." This is an advertisement, if there are things left, it proves that my sister and my craftsmanship are not very good. ”
Kou'er sensibly ran to the back and rubbed her shoulders: "You licked rice until midnight last night, and Kou'er felt distressed when she saw it." ”
Feng Rin was a little weak-hearted, and laughed: "The little girl really knows how to hurt people...... In the future, my sister will make a lot of money and find you a good family. ”
Chloe punched her in the shoulder, ashamed and angry: "Oh, miss, why are you talking nonsense!" ”
"Haha......"
The little girl is so innocent and cute.
I don't know which bastard will be cheaper in the future.
As expected, halfway through the afternoon, business came to the door.
A very clean little palace maid in plain clothes, but with a clean head and face, knocked on the door of the courtyard: "The slave is Huang Rong in Concubine Jing's palace, and she is here to meet Concubine Shuniang." ”
Although the concubines are in the cold palace, they are still called before they are beaten into the cold palace.
Jing Concubine herself is gentle and kind, not fighting or robbing, but unfortunately her father and brother rebelled, she was also implicated, was relegated to the cold palace, and lived a depressed life.
This was before Feng Lin entered the palace.
"No courtesy." Feng Rin didn't put on a show, "You came to my palace, but there is something wrong with Concubine Jing's sister?" ”
Huang Rong opened her mouth with a worried face: "Don't dare to hide it from the lady concubine." Since the beginning of autumn, Jing Concubine Niangniang has not had much appetite, and now the slave maid took the rice cakes in the palace of Concubine Shu, and Jing Concubine Niangniang is willing to use some ......"
Saying that, Xiao Huang Rong almost cried: "I beg Concubine Shuniang to give me some more rice cakes...... Concubine Jing is weak, and she has become skinny these days, and the slave can't bear it......"
Feng Rin waved his hand: "Rice cakes can be made at any time, but they are not free." ”
Xiao Huang Rong saw the posture of Concubine Shu's construction, she had already prepared, and when she heard this, she immediately took out a small purse from her arms and said, "This is Concubine Jing's personal ......."
"Don't want money. Chungmi is too tired, I can't do it, you can come and do a favor. ”
Xiao Huang Rong was a little dumbfounded, then knelt down and kowtowed with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Concubine Shuniang!" ”
Xiao Huang Rong is older than Ko'er, and she doesn't know how much hardship she has suffered, but she works very hard, holding the hammer and pounding rice.
Feng Rin boiled water, and Chloe asked quietly on the side: "Miss, aren't we doing this business just to make money?" Why don't you accept the thank you gift from Concubine Jing? ”
Feng Rin sighed: "Look at Huang Rong's girl, she is dressed so shabby, the thing in her purse must be the last valuable thing in Jing Concubine Palace, can I be embarrassed?" ”
"Although that's the case, you don't need money for the first business, isn't it?"
"If it weren't for the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, how could Concubine Jing be willing to take out all the treasures at the bottom of the box for a bite to eat?" Feng Rin looked at the flames licking the bottom of the pot, "When the rice cakes come out of the pot, let's go and see Concubine Jing together." ”
Chloe understood what Feng Rin meant, and was silent.
In the evening, the rice cakes were out of the pot, sealed and boxed, and the master and servant followed Huang Rong to the palace of Jing Concubine.
Jing Concubine's residence is even more broken than Feng Rin's, but it is clean, and the owner's carefulness and delicacy can be seen everywhere.
Huang Rong took the initiative to introduce: "Concubine Jing used to grow flowers and fish in the yard, but the cost was too great, so she didn't get it in the end, and the flower beds and fish ponds were abandoned......
Feng Rin nodded.
After entering the room, a warm air with the smell of medicine rushed towards me.
Huang Rong stepped forward first: "Concubine Jing, Concubine Niangniang is here, and she also sent snacks." ”
As soon as the person in the quilt moved, a face like withered petals was revealed: "Sister Shufei? I'm sorry, I was rude to do that......"
"Don't be formal, just lie down."
Feng Rin walked over and looked at her, only to see Concubine Jing's face like ashes, her pupils were a little dilated, and she knew that she was really dying.
In the last mission, she had seen Yuri's grief-stricken appearance in front of her hospital bed, so she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw the seriously ill Jing Concubine.
"Sister, I heard that you like rice cakes, so I made more and brought more."
Concubine Jing smiled slightly, her voice as light as airflow: "Thank you, sister...... When the concubines were young, their mothers often made rice cakes to appetize the concubines and sisters...... Unexpectedly, the taste of Sister Shufei's cooking was the same as that of her mother......"
Feng Rin touched her head: "Is there anything else you want to eat?" ”
Concubine Jing closed her eyes and muttered, "It's ...... Enough is enough......"
She knew that her time was short, but after suffering in the cold palace for so many years, she had no regrets about being able to eat the snacks of her childhood before she died.
She doesn't hate her rebellious father and brother, nor does she hate the ruthless emperor.
Her father and brother regarded her like a jewel, and the emperor once loved her.
It's just that if she can do it all over again, she must be far away from this palace and be a little daughter under the knees of Chenghuan's parents.
Feng Rin accompanied Concubine Jing in the palace until midnight.
In the second half of the night, Concubine Jing died.
The powerless concubine of the cold palace, after she died, she got a clean dress, and then a straw mat and a thin coffin, carried out of the palace, and hastily buried.
Pets are like smoke, and they will be scattered as soon as they are blown.
Huang Rong's life experience is similar to that of Kou'er, and as soon as Concubine Jing died, she was helpless in this palace.
The palace maids who have died of their masters are regarded as ominous people, and even if they can continue to stay in the palace, they will only get the most painful and tiring work.
Feng Rin saw that Huang Rong was disheartened and wanted to die, and said, "If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me." ”
After hearing this, Huang Rong knelt down deeply: "Thank you for taking me in!" The mother is very kind, and the slave is unforgettable in this life! ”
Feng Rin could see that Kou'er didn't seem to be very happy with Huang Rong's joining.
But because he spoke, the kid didn't say anything.
