Chapter 179: Mystical Worship
"No," Huang Qi'er was stunned, and the pastry in her mouth didn't know whether to swallow it for a while, "It's just that this is so delicious, I can't help ......it."
"So that's the case," Feng Huali said thoughtfully, "Since the heart has arrived, I will forgive you, the weather is not early today, you can go back first." ”
As soon as he came, he issued an eviction order, but he also brought pastries, this Feng Huali not only did not return the gift, but had this attitude. The more Huang Qi'er thought about it, the more angry she became, but her face was always as plain as usual: "Yes, then I'll go back first, and Li'er should rest earlier." ”
As soon as Huang Qi'er left, Luo Xue was about to throw away the pastry, but was stopped by Feng Huali. Luo Xue was a little confused, everyone knew what this Huang Qi'er was like before, but now that she suddenly looks like this, she must not be at ease, maybe she has done something in this pastry.
"I don't think she's stupid enough to harm me personally." Feng Huali said softly, then and Huang Qi'er still want to be the female official in charge, if something happens to him eating this pastry, Huang Qi'er will naturally not be able to stay in the palace, maybe he can't even protect his life, such a worthless thing, I'm afraid no one will go back to do it.
Moreover, there is another reason why Luo Xue was not allowed to throw away this pastry. It's that this pastry is really fragrant, and if you don't eat a few pieces, I'm really sorry for this delicacy. Feng Huali ate a piece of pastry, the pastry is sweet but not greasy, Shuhua is refreshing, it is really a first-class thing.
After eating a few pieces in a row, the others also gained courage and ate together.
As soon as Xifu took half of the bite, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's delicious!" ”
Luo Xue glared at her, and she immediately closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again. Luo Xue picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, but she didn't expect that this pastry had a very unique taste, which made people want to eat it again. Luo Xue snorted: "I didn't expect this Huang Qi'er to have such a bad heart, but the craftsmanship is not bad." ”
"But why did she suddenly show you favor?" Huang Xile asked.
Feng Huali shook his head, there is no free lunch in the world, and Huang Qi'er is not here to show her goodwill this time, to be precise, she is here to demonstrate. Huang Qi'er just wanted to tell herself how deep she was in dim sum and that she had no chance of winning.
But I have to say that Huang Qi'er used this trick really well. Even Feng Huali had to look up at Huang Qi'er's dim sum skills. Xifu also thought of this, and said worriedly: "But Huang Qi'er, she is so powerful, what should Feng Huali do?" ”
Although it is said that the one who is in charge of dim sum is currently the easiest to choose the female officer in charge of the meal, no matter what, it is impossible to choose two of them, it must be one of the two, if Huang Qi'er is already so powerful, I am afraid that the victory is already in hand at this moment.
Huang Xile glanced at Xifu reproachfully, she believed that Feng Huali would definitely have a way. But if the skill is not as good as the person, the skill is not as good as the person, Feng Huali said helplessly: "Today's plan, the only way to do our best is to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
At this moment, Luo Xue suddenly fell on the bed, holding her stomach and screaming in pain, with a painful look. Xifu was startled, pointed to Luo Xue who was rolling on the bed and said, "She, she can't be poisoned, right?" ”
Feng Huali frowned, if it was poisoned, it should be poisoned by several of them together, and there would not be a situation where Luo Xue was poisoned alone. Feng Huali just sat down, ready to take Luo Xue's pulse, but Luo Xue suddenly jumped up, laughed and said, "Hahaha...... Do you really believe it? ”
"You're kidding that!"
"Really, it scared us to death."
Feng Huali glanced at her with a smile, such a naughty heart, she was really like a child.
On the second day, news came from the moon flute. There were not many female officials who had been allowed to give birth to children by the emperor in recent years, but nineteen years ago, the current emperor had not succeeded to the throne, and there was no precedent for female officials and slaves in the court to conceive and give birth to children.
However, nineteen years ago, there was a concubine named Concubine Lotus who gave birth to a royal daughter, but I don't know what mistake this Concubine Lotus made, she was thrown into the cold palace and no one cared about her, and her child died shortly after birth.
After Concubine Lian was beaten into the cold palace, there was no news coming out, and she gradually faded into everyone's sight. Then she lived in that cold palace, whether she was still alive, Yuedi asked around and didn't get any news.
Feng Huali pondered for a moment, judging from the information he got now, this Concubine Lian was likely to be Huang Xile's biological mother. It's just that this matter is inconclusive, and Feng Huali still has to investigate it clearly, and then tell Huang Xile.
At the same time, Mama Huang was in the courtyard.
"Mama, everything is ready." The maid handed over a basket with all kinds of fruits in the basket, and Mama Huang flicked it with her hand, revealing the paper money inside.
Huang Qi'er was on the side, in her eyes at all this, she was taken aback, it was strictly forbidden to worship the dead in the palace, this is a very unlucky thing, and she never knew that Mama Huang had anyone to worship: "This is?" ”
These things will have to be told to her sooner or later, but not today, not at this time. Mama Huang said: "It's better not to ask about some things." ”
Huang Qi'er hurriedly closed her mouth obediently, she was able to get to this point, but she relied on Mama Huang's care, she didn't want to make Mama Huang angry. Then Mama Huang retreated from everyone and took Huang Qi'er all the way to the west.
The more you walked, the fewer palaces there were, the longer the untrimmed weeds, and the smell of damp mustiness even filled the air. Even if Huang Qi'er had a thousand questions at this time, she could only swallow them in her stomach.
The two of them finally walked to a place called "Purple Moon Palace", where the stone statues in front of the door were broken, the courtyard was covered with weeds and mud pools, and the whole house was only a frame and scattered tiles, and the wood of the house could be seen everywhere with signs of decay.
There is a Buddha statue in it, and the only place in the house that can keep out the rain is probably to put it. Mama Huang took out two soft mats from under the Buddha statue, then wiped the ground with her hands and pounced on the mats. Mama Huang put the fruit in front of the Buddha statue and pulled Huang Qi'er to kneel on the mat.
"Ziyi, are you okay......" Mama Huang closed her eyes and said.
Huang Qi'er was even more puzzled, but she had no choice but to burn the paper money with her.
The two burned the paper money for a while, and Mama Huang kept hanging her head, showing a faint injury on her face. Suddenly, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside. Before Huang Qi'er could react to what was going on, Mama Huang immediately extinguished the fire and put the mat back. Then he pulled Huang Qi'er and hid behind the Buddha statue.
It's strange that there are other people here in such a remote and dilapidated place. Huang Qi'er was very depressed, she hid behind the Buddha statue and quietly stared at the movement outside.
And the next scene surprised her even more, the person who came was not a minion, it turned out to be the Queen Mother, what a noble body the Queen Mother was, she actually bent down to this kind of place, which inevitably made Huang Qi'er even more curious about this.
The Queen Mother clasped her hands together and faced the Buddha statue: "Ziyue, Ziyue, if you had listened to me, maybe it wouldn't have ended like this, but it's a pity that ......"
"What is she here for?" Mama Huang clenched her fists and whispered.
"But why, you won't even let me die?" The Queen Mother roared, her eyes already red.
Mama Huang saw it in her eyes, and a sneer appeared on her face.
The next day, Feng Huali got up extra early, because everyone got up extra early this morning, and she was always embarrassed to lie in bed alone. The day of the big exam is getting closer and closer, and everyone is working hard and not letting go of any opportunity.
From today on, it will be the lady in charge of the imperial dining room who will personally take them.
The female official in charge of the dim sum was named Ouyang Ting, and she was born sweet, and her baby's fat face was even worse. Ouyang Ting said: "I'll teach you a few of the emperor's favorite desserts first, and you can all remember them." ”
"Silk Milk Cake, Red Jade Cake, Bean Paste Glutinous Rice Roll, Jiangnan Crisp and Yi ......"
Ouyang Ting said more than ten dish names in a row, and suddenly Huang Qi'er was a little confused: "Does the emperor like so much?" ”
"This is just a rarity," Ouyang Ting glared at Huang Qi'er dissatisfied, and then asked Feng Huali instead, "Do you remember what I just said?" ”
Although Feng Huali was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that the emperor was still half a foodie, but it was not difficult for her to write down such a little thing, Feng Huali repeated it fluently, which attracted Ouyang Ting's quite satisfied eyes.
Ouyang Ting said: "Just as 'small cakes are like chewing the moon, there are crisps and Yi', today I will teach you to make this." The emperor is also more interested in food with poetic symbolism. ”
At first, it was to cut meat and green onions, ginger and garlic, Feng Huali had good knife work, so he was on par with Huang Qi'er, but when it came to kneading the dough, Feng Huali was a little in a hurry. This hand put too much lard, and poured warm water into cold water here, which provoked Ouyang Ting to teach a lesson again and again.
And Huang Qi'er, who was smooth sailing, just kept holding back a smile: "I think it's better for you to give up early." ”
Feng Huali glared at her, she was just starting out, as long as she gave herself some more time, she would definitely be able to surpass Huang Qi'er. Today, Feng Huali still completed it with Ouyang Ting's continuous help.
When the lid of the pot was lifted, Huang Qi'er's crispy and golden were shining, the skin was crispy with a bit of toughness, and the warm and fragrant gravy gradually flowed out, and the taste could be said to be first-class. Even Ouyang Ting had to praise her, it was not easy to do it so well for the first time.
opened Feng Huali's pot again, compared with Huang Qi'er's crisp and Yi, there was only one miserable thing to see. The skin was all cracked, and the meat filling and soup were spilled in the pot, and some of the skin was not even cooked. Feng Huali smiled awkwardly: "I obviously did it according to your teachings, why is this like this......"
Faced with Feng Huali's achievements, Ouyang Ting was really speechless: "What do you mean, could it be that I didn't teach well?" ”
