After dawn, Lin Xiaomiao changed the gorgeous brocade Luo skirt on her body in front of the bronze mirror, took off the gold bracelet on her wrist, and put it in front of the bronze mirror. These things don't belong to her, and she naturally won't be nostalgic.

There were still a few clothes in the east transept, and although they were only cotton, they were a hundred times better than the sackcloth patch clothes she had worn before.

Lin Xiaomiao was not picky at all and picked out a skirt of the appropriate size from the clothes of the subordinates, she tied up her hair all over her head and tied it with strips of cloth at will.

The beauty in the bronze mirror is not decorated with gold and jade, a little less extravagant, but a little more delicate and natural, but a pair of eyes that have not slept well are swollen like two red walnuts. Lin Xiaomiao hooked the tip of her nose and made a big grimace towards the bronze mirror!

From today onwards, she is going to start a new life!

Lin Xiaomiao pushed open the door of the room, Qiu Ju and Chunyue hurriedly got up to greet her, "Niangniang, why did you get up so early!" Slave and maid ...... for you"

Qiu Ju and Chunyue were stunned at the same time, and Lin Xiaomiao waved her hand and stretched out before they could react, "I said, don't call me, I'm not your princess!" My surname is Yun, and my single name is a peach, I told you a long time ago, just call me Miss Yun. In the future, even if I am a subordinate in the palace, I will be a good cook and save money for the road. ”

Qiu Ju was so frightened that she couldn't speak, "This ...... How does this work? You are a distinguished guest in the house, and the prince specially instructed us to take care of you. If you go to the kitchen to do chores, the prince will not punish us? That's unacceptable! ”

"Don't be afraid! I volunteered! After the prince eats the dishes I cooked, all the anger will be gone! Lin Xiaomiao winked at Qiu Ju confidently.

"By the way, where is the kitchen of the palace?"

Harutsuki pointed to the north side, her delicate little face still relieved from shock.

Lin Xiaomiao left a word of thanks and stepped straight out of the pear orchard, "Yun, Yun girl, do you really want to cook?" Chunyue hurriedly chased after him.

"If you have any difficulties, just tell the prince, why bother yourself!" Harutsuki said as she followed.

"I'm not embarrassing myself!" Lin Xiaomiao stopped and waited for Chunyue to catch up breathlessly, "This is my interest!" Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are also a part of life, and when you make a delicious dish and are praised by others, that feeling of satisfaction and pride cannot be bought with any amount of silver! ”

After listening to her words, Chunyue's face showed a look of understanding or not.

"But, you...... Really don't want to be a princess? The slave can also see that the prince cares about you very much! Chunyue whispered.

Chunyue really can't understand, who would put the position of the princess and have to be a cook?

"He cares about me, maybe because I'm special!" Lin Xiaomiao lowered her eyes and smiled, except because she and Duanmu Heng's mother were both traversers, she didn't have anything particularly outstanding and special, if good cooking skills could be regarded as an advantage, she barely had some shining places.

But Duanmu Heng, as a prince, how can there be a lack of warblers and warblers around him, unless there is a problem with his eyes, how can he feel for her, a peasant girl?

said that he wanted to keep her by his side as a side concubine, just because she was a superb cook, and Duanmu Heng lacked someone to cook for him for a long time! If you want to say that it is because Duanmu Heng likes her, it is absolutely impossible!

Of course, this is all her guess, and she doesn't know what Duanmu Heng thinks herself.

"It's almost the third pole of the day! If you don't move the spoon to make breakfast, it's going to be late. Lin Xiaomiao hurriedly glanced up at Chaoyang, threw Chunyue in place, and went to find the kitchen of the palace according to the location pointed by Chunyue.

Three steps and a corridor, five steps and a pavilion, not to mention that Duanmuheng's palace is not only luxurious, but also amazingly large!

Finally, before Lin Xiaomiao was about to be dizzy, she found the kitchen of the palace, she smelled the firewood in the air and the fragrance of food, and walked all the way to the kitchen door.

Several mothers-in-law squatted on the ground to pick vegetables, and when they saw Lin Xiaomiao, who was dressed as a subordinate, their faces were full of surprise, "Has the prince woken up yet?" Breakfast has just started, and I'm afraid I'll have to wait for another stick of incense. ”

"However, which courtyard are you a maid in the house, have you just entered the house? Look at it! ”

"I've really just just entered the house! The chief steward of the palace sent me to do rough work in the kitchen. Lin Xiaomiao told a lie, but fortunately, there was a long distance between the kitchen and the pear orchard, and these subordinates didn't know her identity yet.

The palace is so big, there are less than a hundred maids in the mansion, and it is impossible for them to know each of them, so they are not suspicious of Lin Xiaomiao's words.

"Then you go in quickly! The prince has always been extremely picky about meals, you are a newcomer who has just arrived, everything has to be ordered by the chef, and your hands and feet must be sharp! The mother-in-law who was sitting in front of the kitchen door and choosing vegetables said kindly.

Lin Xiaomiao smiled back, nodded slightly and stepped into the kitchen.

Good fellow, the kitchen is really big enough, and the wooden beams overhead are full of all kinds of vegetable ingredients, sun-dried red peppers hang like cannonballs, spinach is green and faint, and long radishes are white and round...... As long as you raise your hand, you can easily get the ingredients, which is very convenient.

There are more than a dozen stoves in the kitchen, on which large cauldrons are placed, and at most a dozen people can stir fry at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Duanmu Heng spent a lot of effort in order to achieve perfection in the point of "eating"!

"Who allowed you to touch it?" Lin Xiaomiao's hand was just about to withdraw when she heard an angry shout.

"Where did you come from, so ignorant of the rules!" He roared, and the whole kitchen fell silent.

Where the voice came from stood a tall man, wearing a white vest, with a rare flat haircut, and a fat face staring at Lin Xiaomiao viciously.

"I'm ......" didn't wait; After Lin Xiaomiao finished speaking, the man stuffed a jar of mung beans into Lin Xiaomiao's arms.

In an extremely bad tone, he commanded: "Go and wash the mung beans quickly, and don't leave a bad bean behind, otherwise you won't want to eat at noon!" ”

Lin Xiaomiao looked at the jar in her arms, a little dazed, there are thousands of so many mung beans, and none of the bad ones can be left, isn't it a little too strong?

"Don't you understand? Don't go yet! The tall cook pointed to the kitchen door.

Lin Xiaomiao frowned, and a little displeasure overflowed in her heart. Food heals people's hearts, and the warmth of food can be conveyed not only to the stomach, but also to the depths of the soul.

A person like him seems superior in every word. The meals made by such people, in addition to satisfying the stomach, I am afraid that there is no warmth that heals people's hearts.

"Please give me a basket of rice." Lin Xiaomiao spread her hand and said.

As soon as she said this, everyone in the kitchen laughed, and someone laughed at the top of her throat, "Little girl, you can wash rice in the rice basket but you can't wash mung beans!" ”

Lin Xiaomiao didn't take their words to heart, and the cook also wanted to see what Lin Xiaomiao did, so he didn't make it difficult to hand her the rice basket.

After pouring all the mung beans into the rice basket, the basket was submerged in the water, and it was quickly hollowed out by insects, and all the mung beans that were incomplete soon floated up. It didn't take half an hour for Lin Xiaomiao to pick and wash all the mung beans.

When I returned to the kitchen, the chef in the kitchen was angry, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

"You're so useless! Not even a bowl of porridge can be cooked! The breakfast sent to him, the prince was not interested in using chopsticks at all! Lo and behold, all of these meals have been returned untouched! The gray-bearded chef said angrily.

"Lord Shenqi has already said that if you can't cook a meal that satisfies the prince, you will all roll up and leave!"

Liyang Wangfu can give five or two months of silver a month, and if you can make the dishes that the prince likes, there are many rewards, such a good errand, who wants to leave?

The tall chef who had commanded Lin Xiaomiaoyi before stood grovelling in front of the chef at this moment, helplessly defending: "What can be done?" We've put a lot of thought into it, but ...... But to cook porridge, you can only use the cooking method, and almost all the ingredients have been tried. The taste of the prince is really special, and we can't help it! ”

"If you can't do it, think of another way! Hurry up and think about it in an hour! The chef gave the order, and everyone was helpless with a bitter melon face.

Lin Xiaomiao put the washed mung beans on the table and said, "There are many ways to boil, boil, decoction, and simmering...... As long as the control of the heat is different, the taste of the same ingredients will be different. ”

"This is ......" The chef turned around and looked at Lin Xiaomiao, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You have a lot of truth in that!" ”

"Master, what can she understand if she is a hand-wrenching maid? There's no room for you to interject here, hurry up and get out! "The tall fat cook, as soon as he raised his hand, he dared Lin Xiaomiao to leave.

Lin Xiaomiao stood still and didn't move, but looked at him with clear eyes, "The level of identity doesn't mean how good the cooking skills are!" Taste is key. ”

Lin Xiaomiao turned to look at the chef of the palace, she saluted and said, "Please also ask the chef to give me a chance to become the chef in charge here and cook for the prince!" ”

"How can this be!" The fat-headed cook shouted, "Now there are thirteen cooks in the palace, one is not more and one is not less, how can one more person come in?" Unless you want to expel a person from the house. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the kitchen was hostile to Lin Xiaomiao, and they all echoed: "That's it, what kind of cooking skills can her young girl have!" Don't listen to her boasting here, let's let her go! ”

Lin Xiaomiao was not angry at these ridicules, she was able to become a special chef in her previous life, and even if she was here this time, she could convince them all again!

"Let's just compare and make a dish with the same ingredients, and the chef will taste it! Whoever can win will stay in the palace and become the prince's royal chef. ”

"It's better than that, who would be afraid of you girl!" The fat head chef straightened his tiger back and didn't take Lin Xiaomiao's declaration of war to heart at all!
