Chapter 400

"It's not a joke to cook imperial meals for the emperor and the ladies, just with one dish or two dishes, it's a thing, and it's too much of a joke."

"Yes yes yes yes yes

The presiding eunuch didn't even finish speaking, he nodded again and again, his expression was very cautious, and after he said yes again and again, he listened to it and asked in a low voice, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"This father-in-law came this time, and it was not aimed at anyone, usually these people are cooking and researching meals, so there is nothing to say, but there are people who wipe the floor and plaster the stove, even if it is to make meals for the ministers of the court, it is also abrupt, I don't know who made the decision, let this mopping and plastering also participate in this kind of competition, isn't this a joke?"

After listening to the sneering words of the prince, he quietly understood that the deputy chief eunuch Wang Gonggong appeared at this time, and he was the one who really stirred up the situation, and among the remaining fourteen people, he was quietly one who wiped the floor and plastered the floor, and he might as well call her by name and drive her out.

Wang Gonggong's allusion made Ping's face whiter, Li Chunxiang's participation in the competition was arranged by him in private, and Wang Gonggong said this to hold him responsible.

Father-in-law Ping wiped his sweat and walked to Father-in-law Ping's side in embarrassment.

"This decision ......"

"Okay, you've been in the imperial dining room for a few years, and you're not a little eunuch who came out to do things once, the imperial hospital in the palace is to treat the sick and save people, how do you manage the affairs of the imperial dining room?"

Wang Gonggong's face was displeased, this was an allusion to Gonggong Chen, who was nosy in the hospital, as for who else was behind Gonggong Chen, he didn't seem to care too much, after all, the deputy head of the palace was just one step away from climbing to the position of the head of the palace, and even the lady in the palace had to please him

Who can be afraid of, usually just give each other face.

Undoubtedly, the appearance of the prince this time is to let him know quietly, dare to offend him, and don't want to have a good life.

Quietly pursed his lips, stood there, and muttered secretly in his heart, he would not use the power in his hands to drive her, a person who had passed the five levels, out of the dining room, if that was the case, she would have lost all her efforts.

"But Father-in-law Ping, this is not what Father-in-law Chen means alone......"

Father-in-law Ping seemed to be forced to be helpless, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people, so he had to bow close to the ears of the prince and say something.

The prince frowned, his eyes aimed at the quiet.

"Are you afraid of him as my father-in-law?" He said coldly.

"If the prince thinks this is appropriate, I have nothing more to say." Father-in-law Ping took a step back and didn't remind him anymore, the matter had come to this point, he wanted to protect himself and get out in time.

The prince's face twisted, and his voice was still a little stern.

"My father-in-law also listened to the secret report, saying that this competition was unfair, a person who had carried water and swept the floor in the imperial dining room outside also came to participate in the competition to help the cook, if she gained momentum and spread the word, my father-in-law, as the deputy head of the palace, was not very happy, don't you say?"

"That's what my father-in-law said."

Ping's father-in-law didn't raise his eyelids, he had already given face to the Tai Hospital, if the prince wanted to step on a flat foot, this matter was also a contradiction between the prince and the Tai Hospital, and it had nothing to do with him, he was happy to wait and see, and even a little gloating.

"Little Qianzi, who is here to carry water and miscellaneous labor?" The prince squinted his eyes and pretended not to know and asked the presiding eunuch.

This presiding eunuch called Xiao Qianzi can be regarded as seizing the opportunity, and his finger immediately pointed quietly.

"Li Chunxiang, a handyman in the outer imperial dining room."

After saying Li Chunxiang's name, a smug smile appeared on Xiao Qianzi's face, and now someone has finally cleaned up this little palace maid.

Grade 10 Cook

Looking at the smirk on the face of the presiding eunuch Father-in-law Qian, I couldn't wait to cut him, put it in the pot and fry it, with the support of the prince-in-law, he almost rushed up, grabbed my clothes, and dragged it to the eyes of the prince-in-law. Love to see the flowers

This kind of bullying character, Miss Chu Si has seen a lot, and she also knows how to clean it up, this is the palace, she must be careful.

"She's Li Chunxiang?"

The prince squinted his eyes and looked over, pretending to know me, but he didn't know that he still hurt after hitting me.

"Yes, Princess, it's her, she sweeps the floor in the imperial dining room, or sweeps the yard, I heard that she is still a coolie carrying water, I don't understand, how did she get to the last level?"

Father-in-law Qian took the opportunity to spare no effort to add fuel and vinegar, hoping that the prince would severely punish Li Chunxiang so that he could have an explanation in front of Concubine Hui.

Father-in-law Qian's sentence, how did it get to the last level? Jean was very annoyed.

Quietly pursed his mouth, his nostrils were about to breathe fire, Father-in-law Qian stared at her from the beginning of the kitchen competition, even if he quietly hummed his waist, his eyeballs would follow, everyone can see, she passed the last level with her strength, definitely not a mix?

On the other hand, Father-in-law Ping, who had already planned not to intervene, listened to Father-in-law Qian's words, and the muscles on his face trembled, there was no doubt that he was caught up by Father-in-law Qian's words, and the people in the entire imperial dining room knew that he took care of Li Chunxiang very much, and when Father-in-law Qian said this, it was as if he had helped Li Chunxiang cheat.

Father-in-law Ping frowned, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Every level of this assessment is assessed under the noses of you and the supervising eunuchs, don't you know whether they are mixed or not? Confusing the prince's hearing and hearing, you are derelict in your duties......"

Father-in-law Ping's words didn't need to be said more, he smiled slightly and shut up.

Father-in-law Qian's face turned white in an instant, if he was in a hurry to frame Li Chunxiang just now, he not only went in with Father-in-law Ping, but also slapped himself in the face, how could he not be afraid.

"This, this...... That's not what I meant......" Father-in-law Qian's voice was much more timid.

The atmosphere cooled down because of Father-in-law Qian and Father-in-law's words, and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what they were talking about? Could it be that someone cheated in this assessment?

The panicked eyes around were projected on Grandpa Qian, a serious palace assessment was about to turn into a farce, and Maharaja had to break the deadlock.

"Let Li Chunxiang speak."

Yes, at this time, it is better to let Li Chunxiang speak by herself than to argue with two fathers-in-law.

Let her speak, what to say? The rules of the competition are all set by them, what can a contestant say? Quietly stunned.

"Let you speak, are you deaf?"

Father-in-law Qian was dissatisfied with Father-in-law Ping in his stomach, and he didn't dare to vent, so he had to send all his anger to Quietly, he stepped forward and reminded Quietly.

Quietly raised her eyes, glanced at Father-in-law Qian, then looked at Father-in-law, and then looked at all the other people, it seems that she is going to stay in the dining room today, she is bound to speak, and she will offend this princess again, otherwise, she will immediately turn around and walk out from here.

Turn away? It means that she may not have the opportunity to make a career in the imperial dining room in her life, carrying water and sweeping the floor, this is not the purpose of her coming to the palace.

Forget it, if you offend, you will be offended, before there is no other crime, he didn't dare to ask for a quiet head, thinking of this, he quietly opened his mouth calmly.

"What does my father-in-law want Haruka to say? The rules in the palace are all jokes? Or are these rules a non-starter? Or is this competition meaningless? I can turn around and leave after five levels like this? ”

"You!"

Wang Gonggong's face changed immediately, he could not deny the fact that Li Chunxiang was not caught by anyone during the assessment, and easily passed the five levels of the imperial diet, he couldn't think that the identity of the miscellaneous palace maid negated the rules of the competition.

The prince's mouth trembled, and the father-in-law Qian also turned gray.

"Li Chunxiang, you are so bold that you dare to contradict the prince?"

"Chunxiang didn't dare, Chunxiang just heard that the rules in this palace can't be changed, and the rules of the competition are also set in the palace. Don't these need to be approved by the ministers and even the emperor? ”

The assessment has reached this point, does the prince want to overturn all the results and drive out Li Chunxiang, who has already entered the dining room?

n

bsp; After these words, the prince's face turned even bluer, and it was obvious that he had no steps to go down now.

Ping's forehead was already wet, but his expression was not as embarrassed as just now, he took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and approached the prince.

"The results of the competition came out, Li Chunxiang was supposed to be an apprentice cook, but since his father-in-law has objections, he will be demoted by one level and become a cook, right? In fact, apart from a threshold, there is no difference? ”

These words gave the prince a good step, if he didn't go down, it would not end well.

"The rules of the palace, of course, can't be changed at will, and it's not something that a small palace daughter can discuss and question, my father-in-law came today, and I also listened to people's discussions, investigate the truth, since they all passed the test with strength, my father-in-law has nothing to say, but the identity of the contestant can't be ignored, just according to your meaning, give her a cook."

After the prince finished speaking, he got up and left in a hurry with a few eunuchs in his entourage, and the next thing should not be that he, the eunuch of the deputy chief, should come forward, he must support his identity.

Seeing that the princess was gone, she quietly breathed a long sigh of relief, but faintly, she felt that after this time, the princess was even more resentful of her, and she needed to be more cautious when walking in the palace in the future.

"Now there is no need to have any objections, the prince has already spoken, Li Chunxiang's original apprentice as a chef will be exempted, the rank is a kitchen servant, and Wu Erchuang has been promoted to a chef apprentice."

That Wu Erchuang was originally scheduled to be a chef, but now he suddenly became an apprentice chef, and he was so excited that he almost jumped up, and when he could become an apprentice chef, he thought that he was not far from the chef or even the imperial chef.

In the dining room, the kitchen service belongs to the ten levels, and it is also the lowest function, and there is no status, but the assistant chef is an eight-level position, in order of seven-level assistant chef, six-level cook, five-level senior chef, fourth-level first-time imperial chef, third-level intermediate imperial chef, second-level senior imperial chef, and finally first-level, which is also a special imperial chef.

Quietly, because of the prince's mixing, he suddenly fell from level eight to level ten, how could he not be angry in his heart? I don't know if the errand of delivering food to the minister can be the turn of the tenth-level cook?

Strange bed

Because of his average performance in the last level, Xiao Yun failed to win, and became an eighth-level assistant chef apprentice, only one of the best performers reluctantly entered the inner imperial dining room as the imperial kitchen's assistant chef, and the others stayed in the outer imperial dining room. Love to see the flowers

After a turmoil subsided, Father-in-law Qian failed to drive away the quiet, but he saved a little face, he raised his neck and made a final summary.

"Everyone stands out among hundreds of people, and those who can stay in this acre and three points of land are not idlers, and there are still many opportunities in the future, I hope everyone will climb higher and higher in the future imperial kitchen competition."

In addition to regular competitions to recruit talents and fill vacancies, the imperial dining room in the palace also has an internal cooking competition, which is indispensable every year.

The purpose of the competition is to renovate the pattern of the meal, to bring forth the new, this kind of competition is generally held once or twice a year, there are pure menus, there are also nutrition and health classes, the form and content depends on the emperor and the mother's mind.

"Everyone has a chance, and you don't have to be discouraged by this competition." Grandpa Lan stood up, encouraged him decently, and didn't forget to take a sneaky look before leaving.

Quietly immediately avoided her gaze, and her heart was full of trouble, she had already offended the princess and the prince of Qian, if there was one more Duke Lan, the days in the palace would really not be able to live.

"Let's disperse now, let's go back and have a good rest, sort out the spirits, and start to take care of each other tomorrow." Father-in-law Qian said the last clichΓ©, glanced at it quietly, and let everyone disperse.

Standing there quietly with her mouth pursed, if it weren't for the clouds calling her, she would still be standing there in a daze.

Walking out of the dining room, I quietly saw the little eunuchs looking at this side, and when they saw her come out, they all avoided their eyes and walked away with their heads down.

Yun Yun walked quietly beside him and said in an uneven tone.

"Sister Chunxiang, this thing is really annoying, it was originally yours, but now you only have a job as a cook, it's really unfair."

"What is fair and unfair? I didn't want to be one, I just wanted to go into the dining room and do less dirty work. Quietly said lightly.

There are a lot of people around looking at it, she doesn't want them to see her disappointed and defeated, Yun Yun said it with such fanfare, it is really heartless, people listen to it, and they have to make a big fuss.

"It's good if you don't get angry, in the future, we will work together in the imperial dining room, take care of each other, if they dare to bully you, I will stand up for you."

Yunyun's very righteous words are indeed a little touching to hear, but quietly I know very well that the words are just words, it is unlikely that she will stand up for her, just now when she met a fierce and powerful master like the princess, she was already frightened, where did she dare to appear casually.

Along the way, Yunyun's mouth never stopped, and he looked stupid without scheming.

Quietly just listening, rarely answering, in her eyes, this country girl in a day, seven points is stupid, three points shrewd, but this shrewdness is also when she does not speak.

When I returned to my apartment, I quietly went straight into the inner room, and when I stepped in, I felt that something was wrong, as if something in the room had been moved.

When she looked at the bed, she was even more sure that someone had come in.

On the bed, the quilt was folded very neatly, and even the sheets were spread flat, but when I walked quietly, there was no such rule on the bed.

Quietly waited by the maids since she was a child, folding quilts, making beds, etc., all done by maids, but after entering the palace, no one waited for her, so this quilt was always folded unconventionally, in the big room, it was named several times, but today...... This quilt is too neat.

Quietly took a step forward, looked around vigilantly, and even some of Lan Hui's favorite knick-knacks had been moved, as if someone had come in, rummaging for things, and then putting things back in place, it is conceivable that they were very careful when they turned over the futon, even the surface of the quilt was disassembled, and the stitches of the new sewing could still be seen.
