Chapter 259: Engraving
Hua Mian took out the fruit in the cage, and this time the fruit was much more ordinary, and it looked like just ordinary pears and the like.
Looking at this pile of fruits, Hua Mian remembered something, turned out the wooden card that Jia Lao gave before, and sure enough, an eagle was also carved on the back of the wooden card.
It's been a few days since I entered the palace, and now I've seen all his carvings and architectural designs, except that I haven't tasted the dishes of the Imperial Chef.
Seeing that the palace people were holding steamed bean cakes and thanking them to leave, Hua Mian asked Xiao Jin on the side: "You haven't used the kitchen before?" Always bring food from the Imperial Dining Room? ”
Xiao Jin recalled for a moment before he spoke: "Yes, my brother and I have been transferred to Jinggong for half a year, and the kitchen is only used to heat the dishes sent from the imperial dining room, and there is never anything to eat by ourselves."
"This is the case in every house in this harem?" , Hua Mian couldn't understand why he made the imperial dining room look like a university cafeteria, so he didn't know why he had to make the imperial dining room like a university cafeteria.
"We don't know this, but we heard that it has been such a rule since the reign of the Emperor Taishang"
The next few days were also uneventful, Hua Mian tried to make a variety of dishes suitable for His Royal Highness Eleven in the kitchen every day, Xiao Jin followed Hua Mian back and forth between the kitchen and the imperial dining room, Hua Mian wanted to teach Xiao Jin to learn the affairs of the kitchen like teaching Ying'er, but he found out several times that the other party really did not have the talent for cooking, and wasted a lot of ingredients, not to mention, and even almost set the kitchen on fire.
Although Xiaoyin is smart and clever, it is obvious that his heart is not limited to the scope of the kitchen, as soon as he has a little free time, he will not see anyone, and after looking for it a few times, he learned from Xiaojin that he has time to run to His Highness's room since listening to His Royal Highness Ye Huang's words, and he began to sleep or let him help deliver dishes and collect tableware, and then slowly he spent more time with His Highness than in the kitchen.
Ye Huang also seemed to like this little eunuch very much, and after talking to Concubine Jing once, he specially sent someone to inform Huamian that if there was nothing wrong with the kitchen, Xiao Yin would stay in his room first and obey the order, if there was anything important in the kitchen, he could call him back to help, or transfer someone else over.
Hua Mian didn't mind, the kitchen of the left and right and Jing Palace was much easier than when Yi Lanlou or even Sikong Mansion was in the palace, as long as he prepared a meal for one of the eleventh highnesses, compared to being in charge of a banquet before, it was not called a job now.
The schedule has also been adjusted from the day and night in the flower street to the time before the morning to go to bed, although with this extra time, it is hindered that the palace can not walk at will, and the flower sleep has to pass the time in the imperial dining room.
"What's so inconvenient about working in the Girl's kitchen?"
On this day, Hua Mian had just made afternoon tea and was waiting for Xiao Yin to pick it up, when Ling Ran walked in from outside the courtyard door of the kitchen.
"Manager Ling", this Manager Ling seems to have mastered the time for her to cook every meal, and every day she will come to the kitchen after she has just finished making an afternoon snack, but there is nothing special, it seems that she just came to hang out and chat casually, and when Huamian invited him to have a snack, he would be polite at first, and then he even saved his politeness, pulled a chair and sat down to eat directly.
