Chapter 24: Preparing Breakfast
Ye Mo Xuan also kept his promises, and sent Ningxia back intact that night, Ouyang Jing interrogated for a long time, but Ningxia didn't know anything, only remembered that night Mo Xuan came to arrest people, and then he was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, the housekeeper said to send her back to the plum garden.
However, Ningxia heard that Ouyang Jing could cook, and he would be in charge of the prince in the future, and their meals were so shocked that their mouths opened for a long time and did not close.
In order to avoid suspicion in Ningxia, Ouyang Jing had to explain that it was estimated that he had eaten too much food before, so he had some understanding of cooking. The chef in the palace is so bad at cooking, she just tried it casually, but she didn't expect it to be liked by the prince.
Well, the cooking skills of this palace are indeed not as good as those of Ouyang Mansion, and Miss used to be very picky about what she eats. After thinking about it, Ningxia shouted: "Miss, you are so smart!" ”
Ouyang Jingwan, this girl is really easy to deal with. Hey, how happy it would be if Ye Moxuan was so good at dealing with it!
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Ouyang Jing was dragged up by Ningxia, and in order to cook conveniently, he specially dressed her in a set of light clothes, and the two walked to the kitchen together after a simple grooming.
Having received a notice from the housekeeper in advance, the cooks in the room finally looked at Ouyang Jing this time and saluted, "See the princess"
"Well, let's all get up." Nodding, Ouyang Jing walked into the kitchen and saw that a lot of things had been prepared on their tables. "Breakfast ready?"
"Don't dare to bother the princess, the slaves and maids have already arranged for them to be ready." The cook came over and explained.
She has been working in Xianwangfu for more than 30 years, and she finally managed to become a kitchen manager, how could she let this little girl steal the limelight.
"Didn't Ye Mo Xuan say that I should be responsible?"
"Princess, don't call the prince by his name, this is a great disrespectful crime."
"Good. Now that you're ready, I'll go back first. ”
Glancing at Ningxia, the two walked out of the kitchen generously, and happened to meet the oncoming Ye Moxuan.
"See the prince."
"Didn't you cook? Where is this going? ”
"Oh. She said I don't have to bother, she's ready. That's nothing, I'll go back, of course. ”
Ye Moxuan glanced at it faintly, and the cook was so frightened that she fell to her knees all of a sudden. "The slave knows his mistake, please forgive the prince, and the prince forgives the sin..."
Seeing Ye Moxuan frowning, the housekeeper hurriedly ordered in a cold voice: "Drag down the cane and blame the ten boards to set an example." In the future, I will remember clearly, the master's order does not allow you to make changes without permission! ”
"Lord Wang, she has also been in the palace for many years, and she is a first-time offender and she is old, do you think this punishment is appropriate?" The butler reported in a low voice, since he had the steward of the Xianwang Mansion who had been by Ye Moxuan's side, he knew very well when it was time to stand up and speak for his master.
"Hmm." Ye Moxuan nodded lightly, Ouyang Jing winked at Ningxia proudly, the stinky cook actually dared to give her silver and wanted to give her a horse, hum! She's really a bully.
Ningxia was not there that day, she couldn't judge how much money was spent, Ningxia came back yesterday, and she only knew that she had been deceived when she asked. Although the top ten boards were a little ruthless to a mother-in-law, who let her not obey Ye Moxuan's orders be regarded as self-inflicted.
"Go get ready." As if nothing had happened just now, Ye Moxuan looked at Ouyang Jing and said.
"Huh? Do you want to prepare again? Those on that table..."
"Dump!" Coldly dropping two words, Ye Moxuan turned around and left.
What a waste! Ouyang Jing felt sorry in her heart, so much food could be given to poor families for at least one day.
"Wait a minute." Hurriedly catching up with him in three steps and two steps, Ouyang Jing discussed: "Can you give me those foods?" I promise that I won't be lazy today, and I will prepare a new one for you. ”
"Whatever you want." Glancing at the food on the table, Ye Moxuan left without looking back.
Because of the previous play, everyone obeyed Ouyang Jingyan. She picked another pleasing girl and followed her, and asked, "Tell me about what you need to prepare." ”
"Yes. Princess, you need to prepare breakfast for a total of thirteen people. Including the prince and you, the side concubine, and ten ladies.
The breakfast in the palace is still relatively simple, usually preparing ten dishes, the prince does not like the breakfast to be too greasy, so it is five side dishes, half meat and half vegetarian. Three vegan dishes, this is actually to take care of Mrs. Jiu, she only likes to eat vegetarian dishes, and there are two other dim sum. ”
"So much? Have they finished eating? ”
"Naturally, you can't finish it. Mother, you really like to joke, if the master's meal is not enough to eat or has finished eating, it is not a dereliction of duty in our kitchen. ”
Ouyang Jingmo, what kind of reason is this? Is letting them waste what the kitchen is really about? From now on, she had to break their bad habit of wasting.
"Okay, let's start cutting the greens, just shredded them. You go to wash rice, you go to mix noodles, and the rest go to chop meat sauce......"
With a goal, Ouyang Jing was also full of energy, commanding tightly and methodically, and every dish had to be tasted by her before being brought to the dining room.
It wasn't until the last dish was finished that she took Ningxia to the dining room, ready to fight.
"See the prince." Stepping into the dining room, Ouyang Jing saluted obediently, taking in the expressions of a room of people staring at the food.
Then he walked to the empty seat next to Ye Moxuan and sat down, "Lord Wang, you can have breakfast."
"None?" Ye Moxuan still had a faint smile on his face.
"Well, that's enough to eat."
"It seems that there are a lot of disobedient people today. Steward, the people from the kitchen are here, and this king wants to see who is so bold! The words of this king are the wind in your ears! "My face has become a lot colder.
"Wait." Knowing that Ye Moxuan was going to punish the kitchen for not serving ten dishes as required, Ouyang Jing hurriedly stopped the housekeeper from leaving, and what she did would never cause others to suffer.
"Since the prince has asked me to be in charge of preparing the meal, why don't you try to see today's arrangement, maybe it will be better than usual, right? If it's not good, it's not too late for the prince to punish anyone. ”
Everyone gasped, even though Ye Moxuan usually had a smile on his face, no one had ever dared to disobey his orders.
Even his favorite concubine never dared to disobey his order in public, and this unfavored princess actually rejected his order so calmly.
Everyone waited to see Ye Mo Xuan's reaction, Ouyang Jing also silently clenched the little hand in her sleeve, this was the first battle for her to change their habits, if she failed, even if others were not to say, she would definitely be punished for disobeying Ye Mo Xuan's order in public.
Glancing at Ningxia behind him, Ningxia hurriedly walked over and packed a bowl of porridge and put it in front of Ye Moxuan.
"Lord Wang, this is the preserved egg and lean porridge prepared by the young lady. It is not as light as the previous white rice porridge, and it is filled with green vegetables, diced preserved eggs, lean minced meat, and corn kernels, which can be described as full of color and flavor. ”
