Chapter 6 Delicate Cake
Because of the emperor's order, Murong Jin began to work in the imperial dining room. Because he was a newcomer, the people in the imperial dining room almost ignored Murong Jin, and fortunately, Murong Jin followed a young chef Liu to do it.
Chef Liu is the pastry chef in the imperial dining room, when he first met Murong Jin, he was attracted by Murong Jin's delicate appearance, so he always took special care of Murong Jin, and Chef Liu also found that Murong Jin was very talented in making pastries, so when he was busy, Chef Liu would always discuss with Murong Jin about making pastries.
At noon that day, it was originally a rest time, but Murong Jin found that the sachet on his body had fallen off, and then remembered that it probably fell in the imperial dining room, so during the lunch break, Murong Jin came to the imperial dining room, only to find that Chef Liu was busy by the kitchen counter alone.
Murong Jin was stunned, just because Chef Liu was unwell just now, he had obviously gone back to rest, how could he be here now?
Murong Jin was about to step forward, but with a "bang", I saw Chef Liu suddenly fall to the ground, Murong Jin saw this, let out a low cry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chef Liu up from the ground, but found that Chef Liu was unconscious, so Murong Jin tried his best to help Chef Liu from the ground to the sandalwood chair on the side.
Just when Murong Jin helped Chef Liu to the chair, he saw Chef Liu's originally closed eyes slowly move and open them.
Seeing that Chef Liu had woken up, Murong Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After some inquiry, I learned that a little eunuch had just come to report that His Majesty suddenly wanted to eat Qiqiao Linglong cake, so Chef Liu had to make pastries with illness.
As soon as he heard about the Qiqiao exquisite cake, Murong Jin was immediately stunned.
It is said that Empress Xiaoxian was very favored by His Majesty when she was alive, but later died because of an accident, as for what the accident was, no one knows.
Suddenly remembering that she had inadvertently heard these gossip remarks between the palace maids before, her dark eyes couldn't help but flash a strange light.
Because Chef Liu was physically exhausted, Murong Jin decided to help Chef Liu make pastries.
Chef Liu hesitated, after all, this Qiqiao exquisite cake is not a simple pastry, if it is not done well, if the emperor blames it, it will be a capital crime.
However, seeing that Murong Jin was confident, Chef Liu hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.
So in this way, Murong Jin began to make pastries.
I saw her knead the noodles with water, then add an appropriate amount of sugar, knead the noodles into a dough, put them aside for later use, and then start preparing the filling.
Chef Liu watched Murong Jin's series of familiar movements when making pastries, and couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in his eyes.
was busy for a while, and it wasn't until Murong Jin's forehead was sweating that the pastry was finally completed.
I saw that in the golden flower dragon pattern plate, seven pastries of different colors shone brightly, including pink, white, green, etc., steaming.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and it turned out to be the little eunuch who was serving the pastries.
Seeing this, Murong Jin hurriedly served the pastry to the little eunuch.
After the little eunuch took the plate, he hurriedly went back to his life, but after about half a cup of tea, the little eunuch suddenly hurried over, "Chef Liu, Your Majesty has invited you to meet you." ”
Hearing this, Chef Liu and Murong Jin were both surprised.
