Chapter 207: Many Difficulties
Cheng Li has been looking for a way back, but to no avail.
She simply hid in the backyard of the infirmary, where only medicinal herbs and some female patients would come, and she was happy to be idle.
Later, I met Aoki and brought Ping'er to come, and then I knew Lin Xiaomiao.
After Cheng Li finished talking about the cause and effect, Lin Xiaomiao also told Cheng Li how he crossed over, and when he heard that Lin Xiaomiao was originally a chef, Cheng Li was very envious.
Because she originally wanted to be a chef, but her family has been doctors for generations, so she inherited the mantle of the family.
The two hated to see each other late and talked for a long time, but seeing that the sun was gradually rising in the sky, Cheng Li realized that she was leaving, and the time for her to come out was not short, and if she went back later, Dr. Wang would be worried.
Although Dr. Wang is only her adoptive father, he is undoubtedly the same as her biological father.
Lin Xiaomiao was reluctant to let her go, neither of them was from this era, and it was hard to find a "hometown person" with the same topic, but she couldn't keep Chengli, so she could only let her go.
Before Cheng Li left, he didn't forget to talk to Lin Xiaomiao: "You have to take more supplements, your face is sallow, obviously not enough nutrition." ”
Lin Xiaomiao just smiled when she heard this, and didn't take it to heart, the dishes she made by herself could eat at least 20 kinds of ingredients at the end of the day, how could it be that the nutrition was not enough? Moreover, in this ancient period, all the ingredients were clean and pollution-free, and there would be no adverse consequences if you ate them.
She guessed that maybe her sallow face might just be overworked, after all, she was embarrassed by Jinyu every day, and everything was not going well, where would her face look good?
Cheng Li saw Lin Xiaomiao nodded slightly, and then left.
waved Chengli away, and Ping'er stepped forward.
"I think Niangniang and this Doctor Wang can talk very well." She has been taken care of by Cheng Li these days, drinking tonic medicine every day, her face has improved a lot, Lin Xiaomiao looked at Ping'er alive again, and she was also very happy, and pulled her to say a lot in the garden.
Ping'er also told Lin Xiaomiao about seeing Chu Lan in the hospital, and when the latter heard that her plan was already being implemented, she naturally closed her mouth happily.
The next plan is to send Ping'er out of the house, and finally herself. Chu Lan happened to encounter such an opportunity, it would be better for her to leave the house one day earlier, and she would be able to respond outside the house when the time came.
Lin Xiaomiao breathed a sigh of relief, staring at the blue sky outside the window in a daze, there have been a lot more guards in the mansion these days, and it is impossible for Ping'er to be sent out of the mansion so easily, Lin Xiaomiao has to plan carefully.
She just waited for Duanmu Heng to give her the news, so that she could start all the follow-up actions.
But just after noon, Lin Xiaomiao hadn't been idle for long, and this Jinyu sent someone to come again.
In the past, Ziyan always came to this sandalwood garden, but Ziyan was dead, and now she was replaced by a little girl next to Jinyu, this little girl's eyes were very mean, and Lin Xiaomiao didn't like it very much at first glance.
At lunch, Duanmu Yi found Jinyu to eat together, and there was nothing to do with Lin Xiaomiao, Jinyu and Duanmu Yi both ate in the front hall, Lin Xiaomiao went to the kitchen to find Lin Fang by herself, and it was over to eat a little indiscriminately.
And Jinyu is now coming to Lin Xiaomiao, and she is actually asking her to make a snack in the afternoon, she is a little speechless, how can this Jinyu be like a pig, just had lunch and now wants to eat a snack?
Ping'er was worried, but Lin Xiaomiao calmed down, and then went to the small kitchen, and didn't do much, seeing that there was still a dragon well in this house, so she made some dragon well cakes, and accompanied the new tea to send it to Jinyu.
She'd just had been ventilated in the morning, and she didn't want to see Jinyu now.
But she didn't go, but Jinyu came to the door and ordered someone to throw away all the Longjing cakes she had made in front of her.
"I just had lunch, and you're sending it here to kill me?"
Jinyu is just looking for trouble, it is clearly a snack that Jinyu asked her to make, but I didn't expect to use this to talk about things now, isn't this a deliberate embarrassment?
"Concubine Shizi, you don't eat and wait to eat, why did you find me here and deliberately throw this thing in front of me? Could it be that you came here on purpose to show me a look? ”
Lin Xiaomiao analyzed Jinyu's intentions clearly, but the other party's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said arrogantly, "I just came to embarrass you, what can you do?" ”
Jinyu smiled after speaking, turned around and left.
In the next few days, she became more and more strict with Lin Xiaomiao, a meal always had to be five small dishes, a soup, and two snacks, if any dish was repeated, Jinyu would not eat it, and that's it, Lin Xiaomiao's hard-working dishes were not willing to be eaten by Jinyu, but she didn't expect Jinyu to send someone to call her in the middle of the night.
The person who came said that Jinyu was hungry, and he wanted Lin Xiaomiao to make a dish in the middle of the night before he would stop, but this night snack was sent back after eating two bites, and on this day, Lin Xiaomiao became more and more haggard, but Jinyu did not change in the slightest.
And in order to go out of the house, there was no surprise that Lin Xiaomiao's arrogant attitude towards Jinyu was also tolerant and enduring, trying to meet her requirements.
Fortunately, there are ingredients from all over the world in this palace, Lin Xiaomiao has hollowed out her mind, and she can always make some different dishes, on this day she took Ping'er and came to the door of Jinyu with a freshly made lunch, and just wanted to knock on the door, but heard Jinyu's voice coming from inside.
"The side concubine Niangniang has recently been obedient to Niangniang's rule, Niangniang is really amazing."
Lin Xiaomiao heard that it was the voice of the old lady beside Jinyu, and the two seemed to be talking about her.
"Hmph, that little slut, the prince actually gave her an identity." Jinyu was very dissatisfied with her in her words, and then said: "This slut really doesn't know how thick the sky is, and it's really cheap for her to let her cook for me, hum." ”
Jinyu snorted coldly: "Fortunately, you brought me vegetables every day, although the dishes she made looked much more delicious than those made by the imperial chef in the palace, but I didn't dare to eat them, maybe she poisoned me in them?" ”
"Yes, this kind of person is really intent on speculation, and the mother should be so guarded."
"Wait a minute, that little should come again." Jinyu sighed: "I really don't want to see her, she is still in the house before me, I heard that it is because of her cooking skills that her husband takes a fancy to her." ”
"Niangniang, you are much more noble than her, you are the princess, why bother with such a person?"
The old woman's words seemed to make Jinyu very useful: "Okay, I'm almost done eating, hurry up and clean up, don't let the country woman see it." ”
Then there was a murmuring sound from inside, and Lin Xiaomiao heard it clearly outside.
Jinyu's words made Lin Xiaomiao's face turn blue, and Ping'er's face behind her was not good-looking.
She poisoned her? This Jinyu really thinks too highly of herself, she Lin Xiaomiao doesn't bother to fight with her at all, let alone harm her, she only thinks about leaving the house now, who wants to stay in this cannibalistic place every day!
What's more, Jinyu doesn't dare to eat, why make it difficult for her every day, just eat what the chef in the house does? Do you want her to come every day? In her opinion, this Jinyu is simply looking for trouble! Such a brutal person is simply a lesson! Lin Xiaomiao was about to rush inward in a hurry, but after thinking about it, she paused again.
If she rushes in now and understands with Jinyu, she will definitely be locked up by Duanmu Yi again, if there is any plan or news from Duanmu Heng's side during this period, won't she be able to receive it? This back and forth will delay the time to leave the house, and the gain will outweigh the loss......
Ping'er behind Lin Xiaomiao wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by her, if Ping'er rushed in recklessly, all her patience and planning would be burned.
Ping'er can't understand why their mother-in-law has become cowardly recently, when Jinyu provoked her before, their mother-in-law was not afraid of the sky, but now she has become much quieter.
Although Ping'er can also guess that their mother's mother swallows her anger for the future, the current situation will always be a little unbearable. But she is a maid, and she doesn't do what the master doesn't let her do. What's more, Lin Xiaomiao is a person with ideas.
Lin Xiaomiao repeatedly told herself not to be angry in her heart, and then she adjusted her expression and knocked on the door, and the voice inside immediately stopped.
It's not that she is not angry with Jinyu, she has worked so hard to make such a table of dishes, and she is not happy to be treated like this by the other party, but now is the time to recuperate, she should not have any disputes with Jinyu, it is not that she is afraid of Jinyu.
All this is to not hinder the big plan, otherwise according to her temperament, she will have to teach this Jinyu a good lesson.
After a small rustling sound, the door opened.
Ziyan is dead, and now serving Jinyu is an old woman.
The old grandmother's head was very low, but Lin Xiaomiao still found that when she walked into the room, the old lady was quietly looking at her, and she knew with her hair that the old lady was looking at her to see if she heard what she had just said.
What difference does it make if you don't hear it? In this mansion, who doesn't know that Jinyu is targeting her, and it's not a day or two. Jinyu's identity weighed her down, even if she heard it, what could she do?
"Princess, lunch is here." Lin Xiaomiao tried her best to make her expression look normal, but as a chef, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard what she said just now.
Every piece of food should be taken seriously, not just by the chef who makes it, but also by the person who tastes it. Jinyu didn't want to eat the food she cooked, so why did she have to make it every day and send it over.
It's not that she chose to stay in Jueyang Palace, it's just that the current situation doesn't allow her to leave, and everything is not ready yet. Jinyu played with the gold and jade ring in her hand, and never looked at Lin Xiaomiao: "En." ”
I've seen a lot of this kind of situation these days, and Lin Xiaomiao is used to it, so she put down the plate in her hand and then stood aside.
Last time, she put down her meal and left, but she didn't expect Jinyu to do a lot of articles about this and reprimand her, and since then, in order not to have too many conflicts with Jinyu, she has stood aside every time, waiting for Jinyu to finish eating before leaving.
It's just that this Jinyu doesn't stop eating, constantly picking at Lin Xiaomiao's thorns, for example, now she stares at the dishes on the table and frowns.
Lin Xiaomiao heard what she had already eaten outside the door, and knew that Jinyu would definitely not eat the dishes she made today, and she was a little anxious, this Jinyu stared at the dishes on the table and frowned, she didn't eat it anyway, so it was better to let her take it away.
To Lin Xiaomiao's surprise, Jinyu picked up her chopsticks and sandwiched it towards one of the dishes.
"What is this?" There was some surprise in her eyes.
"Pineapple old meat." Lin Xiaomiao said, she was a little incredulous that Jinyu actually ate the food she cooked.
Jinyu swallowed it after chewing it a few times, as if she remembered something, and put down her chopsticks with some reluctance: "This thing is very weird, it's pineapple and meat, how can you eat it?" Go back and do it again! Don't waste any more ingredients! This pineapple is a tribute from the Western Regions, and such a precious thing is not for you to waste so much! ”
Jinyu shook off her chopsticks and said fiercely.
Lin Xiaomiao really looked at it, and Jinyu Fangcai's expression was obviously surprised by this dish, but she deliberately embarrassed her. She knew that this pineapple was not easy to come by, and it was all tributed by various countries, and there were only one or two who could go to this palace, and Lin Xiaomiao's plate was only a very small piece, and the rest of the pineapples were sent to Duanmuyi's table.
Jinyu clearly thought that this thing was very good, but she had to say that it was not delicious, and in the current situation, Lin Xiaomiao could only endure it, so she took all the dishes on the table and took Ping'er back into the kitchen.
Lin Fang was still in the kitchen, and seeing that Lin Xiaomiao came back with the dishes intact, she knew that Jinyu was embarrassed for her again today, and before she could say this comforting word, Ping'er muttered.
"Hmph, the princess and the concubine have eaten it in this life, why bother to come and toss the mother?" She followed Lin Xiaomiao closely, and naturally she also heard what Jinyu and the old lady said, so she was naturally upset for her.
"Forget it, don't say a word, let's cook." Although Lin Xiaomiao was also a little angry at Jinyu's deliberate troubles, she still decided to endure it in the spirit of calming things down, after all, she faintly felt that the day of leaving was near......
Lin Xiaomiao had a hunch that the walls of this palace were about to stop her.
She continued the work she was doing while thinking about it, while Ping'er and Lin Fang each took a pair of chopsticks and tasted the dishes made by Lin Xiaomiao.
It takes time to cook again, Lin Xiaomiao's hands moved, but her heart drifted away.
As soon as she thought of being able to leave this Jueyang Palace, she felt very happy.
"The dishes made by Niangniang are obviously so delicious, but the princess Niangniang just said that they are not delicious." Ping'er pouted.
Lin Fang was also satisfied with eating, and sighed, both of them understood that this was Jinyu deliberately embarrassing Lin Xiaomiao, just because they couldn't get used to Duanmuyi, the wife of the chaff.
Lin Xiaomiao's thoughts drifted far away, and she was so happy to be able to leave the Jueyang Palace, but she forgot that she was cooking, she opened the steamer directly, did not use any cloth, and her hand directly touched the freshly steamed pastry.
"!"
"Side concubine!"
Lin Fang and Ping'er had just finished eating, and when they turned their heads, they saw Lin Xiaomiao stretching straight towards the steamer, just wanting to remind, but it was too late, Lin Xiaomiao's hands were already blistering.
"Shhh
Ping'er's eyes were anxious, and she hurriedly stepped forward to check, Lin Xiaomiao's white and tender hands burned a lot of bubbles, and she immediately scooped out a spoonful of cold water from the water tank next to her and dipped her fingers in it.
"Mother, why are you so careless!" Ping'er asked anxiously, she guessed that Lin Xiaomiao lost her mind because of Fang Cai Jinyu's words, and suddenly muttered a few more sentences in her heart.
"I'm fine, Ping'er, you take down the steamed pastries from the pot." Lin Xiaomiao pretended to be calm, but in fact, her hand hurt like a pinprick.
Seeing that there were already several bubbles in her hands, Lin Xiaomiao was not discouraged, as long as she thought that she could leave this place, she felt better than anything else.
Ping'er took the dish out of the pot: "Niangniang, I'll get you medicine." As she spoke, she wanted to run out, but Lin Xiaomiao grabbed her in time, and Lin Fang on the side was very puzzled by her actions, obviously Lin Xiaomiao's hands were already hot and full of bubbles.
"Don't go, let's bring the food to Na Jinyu first, so that she won't have to wait for a long time and have any opinions." In this back kitchen, it was all her people, so she didn't hide it, and directly called Jinyu's name, and the title of "princess" was a little difficult for her to speak.
After all, in modern times, everyone is equal, how can there be any class distinction, and besides, this Jinyu also treats her badly, when does she respect her when necessary?
The two of them served the remade dishes and headed towards the Cloud Pavilion again.
Last time, she made pineapple meat, garlic spinach and a shrimp egg and pigeon soup. And this time she made sweet and sour blueberry yams, some sauce pigeon, fish-flavored eggplant, and some sweet and sour pork ribs, and saw the freshness of the mushrooms in the kitchen, and stewed a pot of fresh mushroom soup.
When Jinyu saw this table of dishes, she frowned again as expected, looking very surprised: "What is the table you made?" This eggplant even has chili peppers on top! And this little one, is it a pigeon? How many taels of meat can this pigeon have? These ribs are so sour!
"Your meal is also half-cooked! I really don't know how you cook it! Jinyu saw that Lin Xiaomiao was unmoved, and her words became more and more tricky: "The garbage on this table is not suitable for me at all." ”
Jinyu looked at Lin Xiaomiao with disdain: "Are you okay?" You can't do anything about such a simple table of dishes, and the banquet at my wedding with the prince that day was also made like that, are you a cook? I think it's better for you to go to the handyman's room. ”
She raised her eyebrows, and the provocation in her eyes was sufficient.
"If the princess and concubine don't think it's delicious, then I'll take it down." Lin Xiaomiao stood aside, her hands clenched very tightly, and her face still looked indifferent. Lin Xiaomiao didn't know that Jinyu would eat another meal before eating the dishes she cooked, but now that she knows, she naturally has another opinion about Jinyu's humiliating words, and she is embarrassed to bring it to me, this table is even worse than Fang Cai, Concubine Yunbian, you used such skills to deceive your husband in the past? ”
"If the princess has nothing to say, say goodbye." Lin Xiaomiao's hand was already on the door of the room.
But Jinyu didn't intend to let her go so easily: "Concubine Yun, I think your skill is the skill of a young chef who is not in the stream, I really don't know where you learned such a foxy method to coax your husband to be stunned at that time, and this will be the side concubine." ”
Jinyu grabbed Lin Xiaomiao's wrist, with a bit of hostility in her eyes: "Concubine Yunbian, you remember, no matter what kind of indiscriminate means you use to climb up, you don't even think about the position of the concubine in this life." ”
