Chapter 11

The three of them finished washing the kitchen utensils and today's dishes, and handed over the rest of the work to the people in the kitchen.

Xiangru sent lunch to Aunt Rong's room and quietly served Aunt Rong's meal.

Eating a dish that I don't know how many times it was repeated, Aunt Rong suddenly threw out a sentence as if she was careless, "Today, Aunt Xiao praised the rice soup for being delicious, and took the initiative to drink porridge, which is considered meritorious." ”

Xiangru was holding a fish for Aunt Rong, and as soon as she heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks, put her hands in front of her and bowed her head, "Aunt Xie praises." ”

"Rice soup is called to nourish the stomach, so think about it, what should you eat in the next recipe? You want to be able to make it in the kitchen. ”

"Xiangru doesn't know what Aunt Xiao's illness is, so she doesn't dare to make up her mind, but if she is a patient, it's better to eat some light soup and water, and it's not too late to eat other dishes when her body is better."

"You can't have soup and water for three meals a day, right? Isn't that just letting that woman get hold of me again? ”

"Then eat some noodle soup at noon, add some good ingredients to the noodle soup, it is delicious and hungry."

"We don't have a lot of good ingredients in our kitchen."

"Xiangru doesn't mean those expensive things, but to pick some suitable ones to put in the noodle soup, on such a cold day, a big bowl of hot noodle soup, it looks warm, Aunt Xiao wants to eat noodles, she wants to drink soup, she wants to eat vegetables."

"What do you say Aunt Xiao is suitable to eat now?"

"I wonder if Aunt Xiao eats liver? Now that the weather is cold, the hands and feet will be cold if the yang energy is insufficient. In the morning and evening, porridge is used to nourish the stomach and intestines, and at noon, various internal organs are used to nourish the liver and kidneys. Chopped into minced soup, followed by noodles or noodles, it is nourishing and delicious. ”

Aunt Rong didn't say anything, but she could see that she was pondering, Xiangru didn't say anything more, turned around and filled a bowl of soup and gently placed it in front of Aunt Rong.

Aunt Rong seemed to subconsciously pick up a spoon and scoop the soup to drink, a few mouthfuls of soup in her stomach, her eyebrows lifted, and Xiangru, who had been observing her, secretly said in her heart that Aunt Rong's mood was changing.

The next moment, as if in response to Xiangru's guess, Aunt Rong threw the spoon into the bowl heavily, raised her face and looked at Xiangru sharply, without speaking, but that gaze made Xiangru kneel on the ground with a cold "poof".

"My aunt is angry, and Xiangru knows her mistakes."

"Say, what's wrong with you? If you can't say it, don't blame me for not having long eyes. With that, Aunt Rong really got up and went to the bedside to get a rattan whip.

Thinking of the taste of the rattan whip on her body, Xiangru shuddered, and at the same time, her brain was racing, trying to remember where she had made Aunt Rong unhappy.

"Xiangru made a mistake in not sharing her aunt's worries in time, wasting a chance to have lunch, and failing to let Aunt Xiao eat healthy food in time." After thinking about it, there is only this question, and after saying this just now, Aunt Rong turned her face after thinking about it for a while.

"Huh", a whip slammed into Xiangru's back, causing Xiangru to reflexively straighten her back.

"You, are you going to be angry with me? If you don't finish what you say all at once, you have to ask you before you are willing to say the second half of the sentence. What right do you have to take a before me? If it weren't for me, you would still be a wild girl in the countryside, dare to be clever in front of me, you are tired of you! ”

The more Aunt Rong scolded, the more addicted she became, the more she beat up, the more she softened, her body hurt hotly, Xiangru couldn't make a sound when she beat her, and she didn't count how many whips she received, anyway, when she heard Aunt Rong gradually gasping for breath, she knew that this "big meal" was almost over.

"Pack up your things and get out of here! You little slut! Aunt Rong whipped Xiangru's right arm with the last whip.

Xiangru endured the pain and got up from the ground, cleaned up the table and said goodbye.

The people in the kitchen saw that Xiangru had been beaten back, and they comforted her, and Chef Jin's heart that had just been put down in the morning was raised again, and while bringing Xiangru the broth for lunch, she asked Aunt Rong why she was angry.

Xiangru didn't tell the truth, only said that Aunt Rong was in a bad mood thinking of the competition with Aunt Fang.

"Alas, how can I go on like this, in case Aunt Rong fails......"

"We don't want to have a good life." Chef Li remembered the beating she received, and felt as if her body was hurting faintly again.

"It's too difficult for Aunt Rong to win, how can the kitchen have the capital to fight with the pharmacy?" Another cook chimed in.

Xiangru drank the soup silently, she actually wanted to say that as long as she mastered the method, the kitchen actually had capital and pharmacy fighting, no matter how good the tonic was, it could only be better for a while, and as soon as Aunt Xiao left the palace, the future recuperation would still have to return to food supplementation, even if she wanted to take the tonic as a meal, a former palace maid who left the palace did not have the economic strength.

It's just that she can't give advice directly to Aunt Rong, and she won't listen to it; Second, she knew the identity and origin of the original owner of this body, and it was impossible for those medical truths to come out of her mouth. But if you don't brush Aunt Rong's hair, her face is more changeable than the weather, which is too unbearable. After thinking about it, it is still the same sentence, helping her is helping herself, and suggesting food supplement recipes to her little by little, as long as Aunt Xiao eats effectively, Aunt Rong will listen to her more often, so that life will be better.

Even if it is left in the previous life, the leader's struggle for power will also affect the daily work of his subordinates, and if he can't do it, he can at least report and resign. What can you do here? Reincarnation is not yet a full moon, and it is only by relying on the behavioral inertia of the original owner of the body that he can reluctantly adapt to the new life. Besides, where can she go? This is a palace and not a park, although I have been thinking about jumping to the pharmacy, but I can only worry about it, how can I have the opportunity to jump.

Everyone in the kitchen was talking, and Xiangru was in the middle of it, but no one noticed her. After chatting for a while, no one expressed any new opinions, and everyone slowly dispersed. Locked in the palace for too long, his thinking is rigid, and he knows that things are tricky, but he can't think of a way to deal with it.

Xiangru came out to wash the dishes after lunch, and there were only the three of them in the huge kitchen at this time.

Lilac is the liveliest of the trio, every time the three of them work together, it is this girl who chatters non-stop, she likes to find someone to chat, and the inferior girls who live in the same dormitory with them are originally distributed all over the hospital to work, from the mouths of those girls, Lilac can always hear some gossip and anecdotes, and then tell Xiangru and Yinhua when they come back.

Since Aunt Xiao fell ill, all kinds of news brought back by Lilac were also related to this, and at that time, Xiangru knew that the other aunts in charge were all out of the way to watch the excitement, and it was not their turn anyway, they were happy to watch the show.

Now that Aunt Xiao is going to leave the palace, the competition between the pharmacy and the kitchen has become white-hot, but Xiangru suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Hey, Lilac Silverflower, do you say, will those aunts in charge make trouble with us?"

"Messing up? What do you mean? Lilac was talking about it, and was suddenly cut off by Xiangru, and before her brain turned around, Yinhua also looked at Xiangru with a confused face.

"The most important place in our clinic is the pharmacy, we all exist because of the pharmacy, everyone knows that Aunt Fang has the greatest advantage, do you think those aunts in charge will secretly make trouble for our aunt in order to pat Aunt Fang's ass?"

"Ah, Xiangru is right, you can't underestimate those aunts in charge, although they have no power, but their status is there, if they join forces to put pressure on Aunt Xiao, our aunt is really dangerous."

Lilac reacted, and Yinhua nodded wildly after listening to Lilac's explanation.

"Then should we remind Aunt Rong to pay attention?"

"How do you remind you? What if our aunt doesn't like to listen and slaps her in the face? Yinhua, do you see how much I am usually beaten enough? ”

Yinhua stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to wash the dishes.

"Don't say it, what Xiangru said is reasonable, we are just miscellaneous palace maids, where do we know about those messy things. It's their own business for the aunts in charge to argue in private, but we can't go to my aunt and say these tongue-chewing words, these words are not something we can say. ”

"Okay, okay, I said something wrong."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about that, hurry up and go back to rest after washing, my back still hurts, my aunt's hands are getting heavier and heavier, and the two padded jackets can't stop it." Xiangru pouted and changed the subject.

Lilac Silverflower stopped talking, her hand movements quickened, everything was ready, closed the kitchen door, and the three of them went back to the house to deal with private affairs.

Xiangru took off her clothes and lay on the pit, Lilac and Yinhua checked it carefully, and found no traces of bruises, but they were afraid of any dark injuries, so they still gave Xiangru a massage with medicinal oil.

The three of them took a nap and got up, and ran to the kitchen to eat snacks, at this time Aunt Rong had already sent soup to Aunt Xiao, not in the kitchen, the atmosphere in the kitchen was a little more relaxed.

While eating snacks, everyone guessed what Aunt Xiao thought of the soup that had been boiled for four hours today, whether she could drink more, and hoped that her appetite would get better soon, so that everyone would suffer less guilt, and the days of worrying every day would be not easy.

After eating the snacks, the kitchen began to prepare dinner, and Aunt Rong came back angrily, put the food box on the table, and called Chef Jin outside to talk.

When Chef Jin walked out of the kitchen with Aunt Rong in fear, everyone flocked to the table to check the food box. When I opened the lid, I saw that the soup in the soup cup was still full, and it was almost like I hadn't drunk a sip.

"Oops, how can this be?!" Everyone was amazed.

"Chef Jin is going to be bad now, Aunt Rong's whip is unreasonable."

"Oh my God!" Chef Li, who lived with Chef Jin, began to recall whether the ointment she used last time was not enough for Chef Jin.

Everyone was worried about Chef Jin, Chef Jin herself was also weak, she followed Aunt Rong all the way back to the house where Aunt Rong lived, watched Aunt Rong take out a rattan whip, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed frequently, begging Aunt Rong to spare her this time, next time she will make soup with her heart.

"You think there's a next time? I lost my face today, how can I calculate this account? As soon as Aunt Xiao smelled the soup, she said that she was sick to her stomach and nauseated before she took a sip, and asked me to hurry up and take the soup away. In the afternoon, all the aunts in charge came, and this time I lost face in front of everyone, do you think there will be another chance? Aunt Rong waved her whip and danced her teeth and claws.

"Wronged, aunt, today's soup is no different from yesterday, just some different ingredients are put in, it is impossible to make Aunt Xiao sick to your stomach, aunt, there must be a misunderstanding!" The sound of the rattan whip breaking through the air was very terrifying, and Chef Jin lay on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head.

"Misunderstanding? I still remember the words of the slut surnamed Fang who humiliated me, what misunderstanding is there? No quibbles! After a sharp whistle, the whip was whipped on the back of the golden chef.

"Ahh......h The palace maid couldn't make a sound when she was beaten, and Chef Jin was suddenly whipped, and she forcibly swallowed it as soon as she cried out in pain.

"I told you to be careful, you have to be angry with me, you'll be happy if I lose, right?! Tell you, if I lose, all of you won't have a good life! It is Aunt Rong's habit to beat and scold at the same time, and Chef Jin let her beat and scold, gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, but her body inevitably trembled again and again.

It took a quarter of an hour for Aunt Rong to vent her anger in her heart, scolded Chef Jin, got up, and went back to the kitchen with her.

Compared with the last time Chef Li was beaten, this time Chef Jin was lucky, she was able to stand up on her own, and although she staggered, she didn't need to be helped, unlike last time Chef Li was completely paralyzed and even had a high fever.

Back in the kitchen, everyone was already preparing for dinner, the fire in the stove was lit, the raw dishes were placed on the table in order, the cooks shouted to the kitchen workers to prepare the seasoning tableware, but when they saw the angry Aunt Rong and the miserable Chef Jin, the people in the kitchen all stopped their work and looked at the two quietly.

"I announce that Jin Honggen was immediately removed from the chef's qualification and demoted to a handyman because of his unfavorable work, and Chef Li replaced Chef Jin as Xiaogu's special chef."

"Yes!" No one had any doubts about this order, although everyone still answered in unison when they saw Chef Jin's face turned pale in an instant.

"But, auntie, if there are only three cooks left in the kitchen, it won't be enough." Aunt Rong is angry now, no one dares to speak out here, but in order to complete the three meals a day on time, Chef Li still dared to speak boldly.

"Hmm. What about Xiangru? "Aunt Rong is angry, but she hasn't lost her mind.

"Xiangru is here, please ask my aunt to command." Xiangru timidly came to Aunt Rong's side.

"From today on, you are the official cook, responsible for the food and drink of the whole museum, take out all the skills you have learned, and serve me the mouths of the whole museum, otherwise...... Hmph......"

"Yes, Xiangru will do her best." There was no time to think about it in a daze, and Xiangru immediately responded with sincere fear.

"After making dinner, you can change the yard, and Jin Honggen will move to you."

"Yes, Auntie."

The sudden promotion is a happy event, but fortunately, Xiangru knows the balance and does not let the joy float on the surface, so as not to stimulate the former chef Jin Honggen, who has just been demoted, and maintain the superficial harmony between colleagues.

After Aunt Rong left, everyone looked at Xiangru and Jin Honggen a little embarrassed, although the palace is a very snobbish place, but Jin Honggen has also been a cook for many years, and today she said that she would withdraw in front of everyone, and her face was naturally ugly. And Xiangru everyone knows that she usually gets the most beaten, and she works diligently, so she can't find out that she is not here, and the last time she temporarily replaced Chef Li, her cooking skills have been appraised by everyone, and she will replace Jin Honggen.

"Okay, okay, don't stand stupidly, it's time to work, and we're still waiting for dinner." Chef Li slapped her hands twice, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere, and the still crowd restarted to act and did their work neatly.
