The peppers are right, the pot is still a large pot transplanted by Huamian before leaving, judging from the luxuriance of the leaves and the small fruits that have newly grown, during the time when Huamian left Yilanlou, Ying'er took good care of these pots of peppers.

However, what made Hua Mian feel most incredible was not the chili pepper sent by Manager Ling, but that he would actually agree to grow vegetables in the courtyard of the kitchen, you must know that even if it is a kitchen, it is also within the scope of the palace, and I have never heard of anyone in the harem who will grow vegetables in his palace, not to mention the palace where the concubine lives.

Hua Mian said, "Manager Ling can't have taken the wrong medicine today, right?" With a suspicious face, he took the flower pot and thanked him.

Seeing that Manager Ling and the others walked out of the courtyard door of the kitchen, Xiao Cui jumped out of the kitchen room.

"Sister Huamian, isn't this the kind of pepper you used to grow when you were in the house!! How did you bring it into the palace? As soon as she heard the conversation between Hua Mian and Manager Ling, Xiao Cui didn't come out behind the door.

"It's not that I want to bring ...... in", Hua Mian now really thinks that someone did this on purpose, so that he encountered a patient with Four Seasons Disease, and brought Xiaocui in, and even the chili pepper was sent over, as there are more and more people and things in the palace who have feelings in their hearts, it is becoming more and more difficult to say that they want to leave the palace.

But since Xiao Cui has been brought in, she can't be allowed to do chores with Xiao Jin and them, so Hua Mian still starts teaching Xiao Cui according to the original plan.

"Yes, that's it, don't press hard with this hand, but you have to have a skillful grip, and you should be more decisive when you go under the knife, and it's easy to cut your hand if you hesitate."

In the kitchen, Hua Mian has already started teaching Xiao Cui, and Xiao Cui is also very serious about learning, and she is indeed much smarter than Xiao Jin, but she is not as good as Ying'er in terms of understanding.

Xiao Jin is glad that someone can take over, otherwise Hua Mian can't stand it every day to teach himself to cook, Xiao Jin is the kind of dish that he eats every day, he will remember the wrong name of the dish, so from his point of view, it would be better to have someone replace him.

The following days were also uneventful, Hua Mian taught Xiaocui some cooking techniques related to today's meals by the way when preparing meals for His Highness Eleventh every day, and slowly began to exercise Xiaocui Jia's old knowledge of food, and in her free time, Xiaocui followed Xiaolan of the same age to walk around the palace.

Approaching the moon viewing banquet, the imperial dining room has already begun to prepare the dishes to accompany the banquet, and Hua Mian has also received the banquet menu sent by Jia Lao.

"Soups for the first course?"

After finishing the kitchen work in the evening, Xiao Jin Xiaoyin went back to the courtyard where they lived, and Xiao Cui had already gone back to the room to rest, and Hua Mian looked at the menu sent.

Since the recipe is Jia Lao's exclusive secret recipe and will not be passed on at will, all Hua Mian can see is a menu with the name of the dish and the materials used, as for the cooking techniques and production steps, there is no mention at all, and Hua Mian has to judge the method according to the type of ingredients and dishes.

"It's all too difficult!"

Hua Mian put down the paper, leaned back in the chair, tilted his head to look out the window, the blue moon in the sky was still some time away from the next time it turned round, but this was a royal banquet after all, and Jia Lao's appearance was not at all nervous or like a great enemy.

With the sound of leaves rubbing outside the window, the wind rose.
