Chapter 207: Practice

In the Imperial Dining Room. Smoky fire. Water vapor evaporates. The temperature is much higher than outside.

Groups of eunuchs, large and small, were making imperial meals in an orderly and fast manner. The sound of knives chopping boards. The sound of firewood crackling and burning. The soup pot gurgles and boils. The old eunuch whispered to the voice of the apprentice. Intertwined. Mixed in with the fragrant aroma of food. The result is a view unique to the Imperial Dining Room.

Usually. Eunuchs coming and going in the imperial dining room. Dressed in a blue garment. Today. In this blue army. But there are more slender pink figures.

The owner of the pink clothes. It was Yan Shuyu.

Her face was covered with a veil. Stand in front of a stove and cook. There were two eunuchs, one old and one young, beside her.

"Yan Niangzi. The eight-treasure soup has been hung over a charcoal fire. More and faster chapters are here. The fresher the other ingredients, the better. You'll be early tomorrow. We'll have it ready for you. The old eunuch said.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Yan Shuyu showed a sweet smile behind the veil. Said: "Father-in-law." I have a reluctant request. I haven't made that Poria hair cake for a long time. I wonder if my father-in-law can give me some flour, poria, sugar, and alum. Let me go back and practice my hands first. lest you do badly tomorrow. ”

"It's nothing. Little Liuzi. I'll go to the storeroom in a moment. Pick good white noodles, sugar, alum, and poria for Yan Niangzi. The old eunuch said with a grin.

Yan Shuyu made up her mind. said: "Thank you father-in-law." ”

The father-in-law said again: "Mrs. Yan didn't bring the palace maid when she came." Stuff is heavy. I'll ask someone to send you to Chuxiu Palace later. Yan Niangzi will go back first. ”

and got the father-in-law's consent. Yan Shuyu did not doubt him. Wash your hands. Leave the Imperial Dining Room.

Wait for Yan Shuyu to leave. Xiao Liuzi asked his father-in-law: "Godfather." Let's go to the library to get something for Yan Niangzi. ”

"Oops. Wait for me to rest. I worked for half a day. My old waist is about to break. Father-in-law's eyes narrowed. He sat down on a small stool next to the stove. Don't move.

Xiao Liuzi was stunned. Look at my father-in-law. I don't know which sentence I said wrong.

His godfather is an old man. I have worked in the imperial dining room all my life. Whatever you have to say is hidden in your heart. Never say it clearly. When he encounters something he doesn't want to do. There are often various reasons to excuse themselves. Little Liuzi is clever. It was immediately apparent. He's a godfather. Where is the back pain. It's simply dragging time.

An old man and a young man sat by the stove. Not for a while. A middle-aged eunuch in blue clothes ran over. A fine layer of sweat on the forehead. Called: "Grandpa Niu." You go out for a while. The palace maid of the water concubine is here. Eat your vegetarian meal by name. ”

"Oh." Grandpa Niu stood up. glanced at Xiao Liuzi. Xiao Liuzi immediately picked up the cow father-in-law. Walk out.

Doorway. An elderly palace maid in her forties stood. I met Grandpa Niu. A standard palace ritual was performed.

"Our concubine has been wanting to eat some mushrooms lately. And not too light. Our concubine can trust the craftsmanship of my father-in-law. Just pick it up and make a few things. The palace maid said.

"Miss Xiafen. Come here and talk. Grandpa Niu rolled up his sleeves. Point to a shed built next to it.

The shed had simple pots and stoves and cutting boards. It didn't take long to just enter the imperial dining room. The craft is still to be prepared by the little eunuch who has yet to practice.

Entered the shed. Niu Gonggong skillfully lifted the lid of a bamboo carrot. Scratched from the inside. Grab a handful of fresh mushrooms of various colors. Place on a cutting board. said to Xiao Liuzi: "You go and chop them." Chop into mushroom puree. Chop harder. ”

Xiao Liuzi has been following Niu Gonggong for a long time. I've already developed some cooking. I made a double knife. Ding Ling started her work with a bang.

Grandpa Niu has his back to the outside. It seems to be watching Xiao Liuzi work. In a very low voice, he said beside Xia Fan: "I'm staring at it today." That Yan Niangzi didn't do anything. There are two things I have to mention. One is to kill pigeons before making eight treasure soup. Her veil fell into the pigeon's blood. More and faster chapters are here. The blood was brought out. There is no rinsing. Asked me to find a paper bag to help her wrap it. Said to go back and clean up. The second is before leaving. She asked for something. I want to go back to practice making Poria hair cake. Those things are white flour, white sugar, white alum, and poria cocos. I haven't asked anyone to send it to her. ”

Xia Fan listened. Nodding. said: "What does Grandpa Niu think?" ”

"I don't think it's easy to send those things to Mrs. Yan. I have a solution. Grind the sugar and alum into a dough. Mix together. Wrap it in two packs. It is regarded as white sugar and alum. Given to her. "Cow Gong is fair.

"That's fine. If only she was making poria hair cakes. It doesn't get in the way. If you want to do bad things with those things. There will be a hint of it. Xia Fan nodded. Agreed with Grandpa Niu's approach.

The voices of the two of them were low. More and faster chapters are here. And he faced the place where Xiao Liuzi worked. The sound of a knife chopping mushrooms was covered. I couldn't hear what they were saying at all. I just thought they were waiting for Xiao Liuzi to chop mushrooms.

That compartment. Xiao Liuzi's knife is fast. The mushrooms have been chopped into finely chopped foam.

Father-in-law Niu waited for Xiao Liuzi's knife to stop. Gestured to Xia Fan. Said: "Miss Xiafen." You see. I've been thinking of a new dish lately. The mushroom puree is poured over the piping hot vegetable broth. and powdering. Kneaded into balls. Float in the water. It's red stewed again. I want to meet the appetite of the concubine. ”

"There is a cow father-in-law to worry about. Of course, I can trust it. I'll go back to our concubine. "Finished. Xia Fan turned his head and left.

Not much. The material that Yan Shuyu wanted. was sent to Chuxiu Palace. More and faster chapters are here.

Yan Shuyu got something. With a waiting maid. In the house, I made poria hair cake in a similar way.

Liujing saw that Yan Shuyu was skillful. couldn't help but envy: "Yan Niangzi is really powerful." Anything can be done. No wonder she is one of the four talented women in the capital. ”

Yan Shuyu pursed her lips and smiled: "That's all people's false praise." There are too many talented women in the palace. Be careful to make jokes out loud. ”

"I think Yan Niangzi is the most powerful woman in the palace. Yan Niangzi. How did you learn so much? Liujing really admires you so much. Liujing complimented.

Yan Shuyu said: "My cooking skills were taught to me by my mother. It's a pity that she was pregnant with quadruplets a few years ago. Hurt the body. He died of illness not long after. More and faster chapters are here. ”

"Then lady, don't you have four younger brothers." Streamer exclaimed.

"Nope. They are not blessed. My mother was seven months pregnant. They're gone. Yan Shuyu said lightly. The long black eyelashes that drooped did not move at all.

"That's a shame." Streamer smacked her lips. Said regretfully.

These days. Yan Shuyu in order to buy the flow crystal. Worthy of her sister. Liujing is a pampered girl at home. Slowly, the respect and humility are not as important as they were at the beginning. The relationship with Yan Shuyu is "better every day". Much bolder to speak. Dare to ask anything.

Just when Yan Shuyu was teaching Liujing to make Poria hair cake. A eunuch walked in at the door. Sharpened his throat and said, "Quickly clean up." Look at this house in a mess. His Highness is coming soon. ”

Yan Shuyu was overjoyed. Immediately pull out the clean, wet cloth that has been placed on the table. Deftly wipe on your hands. Then untie your apron. In a few clicks, he cleaned himself up.

Flowcrystal is in a hurry. I didn't have time to get rid of the flour and other things on the table. A figure in an apricot yellow suit. and walked through the door.

"Meet Your Highness. Your Highness Wan An. Yan Shuyu saluted the prince delicately.

The prince looked at the flour and other things on the table in the room. smiled encouragingly at Yan Shuyu. Said gently: "Is Mrs. Yan preparing for tomorrow's banquet?" ”

"Back to Your Highness. Sookok is preparing for tomorrow's banquet. Sook-ok prepared four dishes herself. This Poria hair cake. It's the hardest thing to do. When doing it, the technique is one centimeter worse. The taste is very different. In order to let His Royal Highness and his sisters taste the most delicious Poria hair cake tomorrow. Shuyu specially practiced a few times in the palace. ”

"You have a heart. Let's go. The prince said.

Yan Shuyu stood up. A pair of watery eyes stared at the prince. When I used to be in the Qingzhou grassland. Ouyang Shaoming likes to see her like this the most. Every time you see it. You can't help but pounce on it.

She'd tried it on other men. The men saw her look in the eyes. All of them were eager. Men are all alike. Presumably, the crown prince is not far behind.

Really. The prince's attitude towards her became more and more kind. It was unprecedented to come to her side. Take the initiative to hold her hand. Rub it lightly. said: "Thank you for your hard work." If tomorrow's banquet is a success. I'm going to be rewarded. ”

Yan Shuyu hung her neck coquettishly. said: "Your Highness can be happy." It is the greatest reward for Shuyu. It's just that...... It's just that my sister doesn't seem to want to come. ”

"It doesn't matter. I have already asked Concubine Shuifang to attend the banquet tomorrow. I think that Concubine Shui will say that your sister will be moved. Let her come and meet the concubine on the water side. The prince said lightly.

Got closer. The prince smelled a refreshing scent of plum blossoms. is emanating from Yan Shuyu's body.

The prince loved plum blossoms the most. The scent made him feel refreshed for a while. subconsciously took Yan Shuyu in his arms. Put your face around her neck. Sniffed vigorously twice.

Yan Shuyu's heart burst with joy. She did the right thing. Not only did I find the plum blossom fragrance left before. I also took the opportunity to hold a banquet. Got pigeon blood and alum.

Now the prince is clearly moved. Pigeon blood is not easy to preserve. Although she has a secret method. But two days at most. It's still going to freeze. She wanted to wait for the banquet to be a success. and then throw yourself into the arms of the prince. How could I think of God helping her. Take the initiative to send the prince to her.

The crown prince leaned over Yan Shuyu. Greedily sniffing the fragrance of plum blossoms. Thoughts float. Hold her tighter and tighter.

Yan Shuyu in his arms. There was a soft thumping sound. Let the dizzy prince wake up all of a sudden.

He is not a luster for women. What's going on today. I can't control myself. The crown prince was vigilant in his heart. His eyes looked at Yan Shuyu deeply. But. But I didn't find any clues. Yan Shuyu's face turned red. A pair of eyes looked at him like water.

The prince stepped out of the room quickly. Zhu Liubao followed behind him. Discover the direction in which the prince goes. It's a water house.

It's almost there. The prince suddenly stopped. said to Zhu Liubao: "You go to find Yan Niangzi." Will she make the plum blossom fragrance today. Call the Imperial Doctor to take a look. "After that. only then did he step into the water room.

Zhu Liubao stayed at the door. Throw a fit. The prince's reaction after seeing Yan Shuyu today was not quite right. Could it be said. Yan Shuyu actually used a flattering medicine on the prince, but it failed. This is a taboo in the palace.
