Chapter 136

Concubine Shu is in charge, and everyone in the palace knows it, so the attitude of the top and bottom towards Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian's attitude is that there are many people who are in charge of the former and many who are flattering to the former.

But Concubine Shu will discuss with Concubine Xian every time, everything is listened to every morning, and opinions are given in the afternoon, if it is urgent, directly let the wormwood around her go to Concubine Xian, although the time is not long, but this is already an unwritten acquiescence.

Concubine Xian was not idle, the sweet potatoes she planted in the palace were ripe, and after she collected them, she called a group of palace maids to cook all kinds of food, she probably said the method, mainly to see the final result.

Reserved for planting and eating in winter, Su Chen watched everyone make this stubble of sweet potatoes into dried and noodles, how to store it.

Su Chen said: "Although this is different from wheat and rice, whether it is mixed with rice flour or coarse grains, this is very delicious, and this is easy to plant, the survival rate is high, and you have also seen the production. ”

Several palace maids looked at each other, not quite understanding what she meant, or an elderly one said: "Niangniang means that this can make many people no longer starve?" ”

"Aren't people just to be fed and clothed?" Su Chen glanced at the old lady who was guarding the courtyard before: "Don't talk about the outside, even in the palace, there are still many people who can't eat enough, right?" ”

"Mother's sensitive."

The old lady is neither humble nor arrogant, and has one answer and one answer, which seems very abrupt.

None of the people selected by Su Chen are ordinary.

She looked at these palace maids and said: "You can be chosen, all because of your life experience, this palace knows that many of those who come to be palace maids have no choice, after all, they are really loved, and they will not just let you come out to serve people, so this batch of harvests is for you to do, if you are willing, wait for the spring to bloom, go back with seeds, be a female official, rich on the one side, if you are unwilling, you will work in the princess palace in the future." ”

"This ......"

The palace maids looked at each other, not quite believing her words.

In all dynasties, there were no female officials who returned to their hometowns, even if there were female officials for a period of time in the previous dynasties, but in the end, they were only in the capital.

It's just that it's been hundreds of years, who dares to say that? There are female officials in the palace, but how can they be released? And it was the concubine who said it, does the emperor know? Probably not, right?

Seeing that they hesitated like this, Su Chen said again: "It's okay, you can think about it, now, life cooking, there is a kitchen here, I'll do it, you follow and see, this thing is not only edible, but also delicious." ”

"Niangniang is serious, we don't have doubts about this, we just haven't seen this kind of practice, isn't this not dried yet?"

"Eat it fresh and eat it dry, it's all delicious, you just wait to eat it."

Although Su Chen doesn't often make this kind of food, she has dabbled in delicious food, whether it is steaming, boiling, frying and stir-frying, it is delicious, so what if she makes a full banquet?

"It smells so good!"

"yes, yes, so fragrant?"

"I'm so hungry and want to eat......"

The palace maids outside the door smelled the fragrance and stretched out their heads one after another, Su Chen was very calm, made sweet potato soup, sweet potato cakes, fried shredded sweet potatoes, and fried sweet potato chips.

She also deliberately showed them the oil can: "You see, I only used such a little oil, this food, it doesn't absorb oil, put a little bit of it, it will be very fragrant." ”

"Really, that's all I needed."

"There's still something left."

"It's so fragrant, I want to eat ......"

A little palace maid stretched out her hand to take potato chips, but was knocked on the back of her hand by Su Chen's chopsticks: "Don't steal it!" Move the table to the yard. ”

Su Chen said, bringing out the food, but as soon as he turned around, they were all standing on the side: "Niangniang, let's serve it." ”

They didn't dare to let Su Chen do it and bring it out, wouldn't this be serving them? They are rough palace maids, how can they be?

Su Chen put out the fire, put potstickers in the pot, wiped his hands on the apron and came out, seeing that they were still standing, he said while uncovering the apron: "What are you doing standing?" Sit down and eat, taste the taste, and tell me how you feel after eating. ”

The palace maid who was the first to reach out had already pinched the chopsticks directly at this time, and was about to catch the shredded vegetables, and when she heard her words, she paused: "Niangniang, you can let me eat, you let me say, I can't come." ”

"You can at least tell if it's good or not, right?" Su Chen put down his apron and picked up the chopsticks: "Forget it, I'll taste it first, I haven't tasted it myself." ”

Even if she doesn't taste it, she eats it first, she should be, according to her status, she is already the supreme honor here.

"So fragrant? Who stole the oil here? ”

As soon as he didn't pay attention, someone came outside, and Su Chen only ate a bite of shredded potatoes, which was salty and delicious, a little sweet.

Hearing the voice, she directly put down her chopsticks and pulled the palace maid who was already eating next to her: "You go to the kitchen and see if the potstickers are cooked." ”

She is protecting her, no matter who comes, but whenever she sees the palace maid eating, she must take the opportunity to make trouble, if Su Chen can't protect it, it is who eats and who suffers, although this palace maid is a little greedy, but she is still very smart, and immediately went to the kitchen.

Sun Rouyin came in from outside the door.

"No wonder it's so fragrant here, it turned out to be Concubine Xian, what invention did Concubine Xian do?"

Sun Rouyin raised her chin, still in the same tone as before.

When she was canonized that day, she was unwilling, but her father sent her a message, asking her to Taoguang first, as long as she is a concubine, there will always be a time for promotion, and let her collect Su Chen's handle in the palace, no matter how big or small, collect, and when the time comes, they will be made public.

She has nothing, only this title, Concubine Rou, nondescript, is still under Concubine Shu, although she is a concubine, she is not a fourth concubine at all.

Fortunately, she used to raise some useful palace people, but now they are scattered in various palaces, and she will report to her today, saying that the cold palace courtyard is lively today, and she was also hanging out, and she was really strolled.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and stretched out slightly: "Don't be so ruthless in your eyes, I just made something to eat, what a coincidence that you came, eat together?" ”

"I don't dare to eat what you make." Sun Rouyin said directly, and then glanced at the red and yellow table with disgust: "What kind of pig and dog food are put on the table." ”

Su Chen didn't get angry, and smiled directly: "Concubine Rou, you've always wanted to be a queen, right?" Not to mention, you can't treat the palace people harshly, you know, right? Do you even say that it is pig food and dog food? Very good. ”

She directly pinched off a piece of steamed sweet potato, pinched Sun Rouyin's mandible with one hand and stuffed it in her mouth.

"Uh...... ...... vomit"

Sun Rouyin didn't expect her to dare to do it, she almost choked, her mouth was suddenly tired, her face was red, she really vomited.

Su Chen looked at her coldly: "I don't tell you anything about dignity and inferiority, I just tell you, you must have the respect you should have, this is what I personally planted and put away and did personally, if you mock, you will mock, why do you want to insult?" What a debt to owe! ”

"You ......" Sun Rouyin raised her head and wanted to glare at her, but when she saw the dishes on the table, her appetite flipped over: "Vomit ......"

Su Chen turned around and sat down: "Come on, go and invite Concubine Shu." ”

-

"Mother, isn't that good?"

Su Chen's eldest palace maid went to invite the concubine, but these rough palace maids were pressed to sit down, in this case, how could they eat in?

"What's so bad? You don't look at the weather, you have to eat it while it's hot, the potstickers are ready, right? With it, although this time it is all sweet potatoes, that is, sweet potatoes, but if you really want to popularize it and let others plant it, it will definitely not be so luxurious, you must know that this can also be used as half a year's food. Su Chen pressed the shoulder of the snack maid: "You eat slowly, tell me your name when you finish eating." ”

"Mmmm, Niangniang is amazing, I'm going to your palace in the future!" The little palace maid really likes to eat, she is holding it in her hand and stuffing it in her mouth, and she has to speak, Su Chen, who is watching it, is afraid that she will choke, so she patted her on the back: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

Zhou Yueqing came over with Zhao Tengrun, and Su Chen didn't plan to let Zhao Tengrun watch the scene, after all, he is really in charge now.

originally wanted to let Zhou Yueqing come over and make a reconciliation from it, after all, Concubine Rou was under Concubine Shu, this was an old example of the previous dynasty, and there were traces to follow. But as soon as Zhao Tengrun came at this time, things were different.

Su Chen was all shocked-

Zhou Yueqing bowed her head and covered her mouth——

Sun Rouyin's vomiting stopped for a while——

Zhao Tengrun frowned slightly: "This ...... Give me an explanation. ”

At this time, there was only one bottom of the plate left on the table, and only the bowl of porridge in the middle was mostly left.

Su Chen touched his nose: "This, it's mainly Concubine Rou who spoils the grain, I can't look past it, so I want Concubine Shu to come over and tell her about the hardships of sowing and harvesting this grain, I didn't expect the emperor to be so empty." ”

Zhao Tengrun glanced at Sun Rouyin, saw that she was vomiting, and his face sank: "Didn't Concubine Rou bring anyone with her?" Why don't you hurry up and help your master back? ”

Su Chen said directly: "What does the emperor mean, it's over?" ”

Zhou Yueqing came over, pulled her sleeve, and shook her head slightly.

What does it mean to shake your head? Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he still gave them face and didn't speak again.

Sun Rouyin was helped away, and the little eunuch beside Zhao Tengrun personally escorted her.

"Can you talk now that you're gone?" Su Chen directly filled himself a bowl of soup: "Do you want to drink it?" Originally, I made a full banquet, but I didn't expect the emperor to come. ”

That being said, she had already directly handed over the sweet potato soup, which was mostly the case.

The sweet taste overflowed along the bowl, and Zhao Tengrun didn't hesitate at all, and directly reached out to take it.

Su Chen also served a bowl to Zhou Yueqing: "I planted it with my own hands, and I also made it with my own hands, if it wasn't for Sun Rouyin to disgust me, Qing'er, you wouldn't be able to eat it today." ”

Zhou Yueqing said: "Since it's delicious, why don't you want me?" ”

As she spoke, she took another spoon, scooped it and tasted it: "You are of noble birth, county lord, have you ever suffered hardship?" Do you know what it's like to be hungry? Do you know what it's like to be hungry and cold? Do you know how the so-called poor mountains and bad waters came about? Well, at most, I'll make you some snacks, and you'll just have to eat them. ”

Zhou Yueqing, who had just drunk the porridge in her mouth, rolled her eyes, if it wasn't really sweet and delicious, she would spit on her face! - Of course, this is a joke.

Zhao Tengrun drank it really hula, and was stunned when he saw Fu, but he still handed over the handkerchief very quickly, took the bowl, and stood behind waiting for the emperor to speak.

Su Chen also drank half a bowl, and those palace maids were already standing behind, all with their heads down.

Zhao Tengrun wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "It's sweet and delicious, it's warm and comfortable to drink, is this what you mean by sweet potatoes?" ”

Su Chen nodded: "Yes, sweet potato, also known as sweet potato sweet potato, is drought and waterlogging-resistant, suitable for planting and harvesting, and can solve most of the problem of being full." You've tried it too, how do you feel? ”

"Did you make an all-sweet potato feast?" Zhao Tengrun didn't answer, and asked again.

Su Chen glanced at the remaining empty plates and bowls, and immediately stood up: "You let Sun Rouyin go, I have to send these things to my brother, you, serve the porridge, and come with me." ”

She casually ordered the palace maid who loved to eat, the palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the big bowl, and there was half a bowl of porridge in it, she covered it with a wooden lid and followed Su Chen.

Zhao Tengrun was really faceless when he was rejected, he glanced at Zhou Yueqing, and Zhou Yueqing immediately said, "The concubine didn't see anything." ”

Zhao Tengrun: "......"
