Chapter 53: The Jade Pendant That Proves Loyalty

"Miss......"

"Miss, why don't you come down!"

"Miss, if you fall, we'll blame ourselves to death."

"Miss!"

Qiu Tian's head hurt because of the two of you, you and me, "You all shut up!" ”

Suddenly, the two of them closed their mouths together, and all that remained of the small kitchen was the sound of wood burning in the stove, and she took a deep breath with a little satisfaction and continued to climb up to the beam, and she saw nothing, not even a single dust.

"Come on! Miss, be careful. Angelica waited next to the ladder, ready for Qiu Tian to fall off the ladder and fly to save herself.

In an instant, she returned to the ground, and Angelica cautiously asked, "Miss, when you climb up the beam, do you guess that there is someone hiding on the beam?" ”

"Beam Tibetan?"

"Yes!" Qiu Tian chewed his mouth in disappointment and felt that something was wrong, hiding the doubt in his heart.

What's wrong?

I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.

Suddenly, Xiaoshi put the ladder and interjected, "It is impossible for the beam to hide people, if the beam is to hide people, the dust on it will have been shaken off long ago, I will definitely know." ”

"Huh?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qiu Tian's mind, "Little pebble, what did you just say?" ”

"I'll know."

"That's not right!" She looked at the pebble, "One more sentence!" ”

"The dust will be shaken off!"

"Yes!"

This "right" made Xiaoshizi and Angelica look at each other curiously, and then repeated: "Yes? ”

"Hmm!" Qiu Tian smiled confidently and looked up at the beam, "Do you know what I just saw?" ”

"Isn't it just a beam?" Angelica was puzzled, and Xiaoshizi frowned and looked at each other, "And then it's full of dust." ”

"Yes!" She pointed to angelica, "I looked at the beam, but there was no dust on it. ”

"Not even a speck of dust!" She deliberately bit the words, "It's like someone has deliberately wiped the dust off it." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shizi frowned, completely stunned by Qiu Tian, but Angelica instantly understood what Qiu Tian wanted to express and patted his head fiercely, "What does Miss mean, someone has been hiding on the beam of the small kitchen, so that the beam that was originally dusty has been wiped spotlessly." ”

"Oh!" Suddenly, Xiaoshizi suddenly realized, "Who would be so boring to hide on it?" ”

"Who's so boring?" Qiu Tian suddenly chewed and swallowed slowly, and the appearance of the strange thief Dou Juexiao flashed in her mind, after all, she said that as long as Dou Juexiao was about to starve to death or couldn't live, she would come to the small kitchen of the Luxury Fragrance Hall to find herself.

"Miss, now that the ingredients are gone, how can we be good?" Angelica warmed Qiu Tian worriedly, she flattened her mouth, tilted her head to look at the three big yellow chickens in the chicken coop on the ground, and raised her eyebrows, "Use them!" ”

"Huh?" Angelica was puzzled, "The slave maid heard you say that ingredient in front of the queen's mother, thinking that it was a very important and rare ingredient......"

"That chicken is indeed rare, but I can't eat it now, so I can't delay the imperial meal." Qiu Tian felt why she was so bitter at the moment, and she had to worry about whether her head would move when she cooked, so she sighed lightly, "It's a small matter if the chicken is lost, and it's a matter of moving the head if you don't do the imperial meal." ”

"This ......" Xiaoshizi and Angelica suddenly gasped, Qiu Tian glanced at the sky, "There is not much time left for us, you should quickly adjust my mentality and go online!" ”

"Newspaperβ€”"

Suddenly, a loud announcement sounded, and the three of them looked at the door of the small kitchen, and Mama Li said with a pleasant face: "Miss, there is an imperial chef named Xu Song who asks to see you." ”

"Xu Song?" Qiu Tian glanced at Angelica, Angelica shook his head, but Xiao Shizi's eyes lit up, "Sure enough, it's here!" ”

Qiu Tian took the opportunity to ask, "Little pebble, what do you seem to know?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't ......" Xiao Shizi smiled embarrassedly, touched the back of his head and wanted to hit Haha, but he didn't want Angelica to swing the knife over, Xiao Shizi was suddenly frightened and his eyes widened, and behind Qiu Tian on the runway, "Miss!" Didn't you say we were our own people? Look at it, Sister Angelica is bullying me all day long! ”

Qiu Tian looked at Xiao Shizi with tears and laughter, and immediately recognized herself as her person, "Come on!" You don't have to brush your lips with me. ”

"Don't think that if you stand behind Miss, I won't be able to beat you!" Angelica bark smiled and threatened Xiaoshizi, Xiaoshizi frowned, "Miss......"

"If I'm you, say it quickly!" Qiu Tian held back a glance at the pebble and took a step forward, "It's hard for Mama Li to pass it on!" "The two of them are messing around, so that Mama Li can see the joke."

Mama Li shook her head, but whispered to Qiu Tian, "Miss, this Xu Song is not a good product, please beware." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Tian raised her eyebrows, lowered her voice, and glanced at Xu Song, who was standing outside the courtyard of the small kitchen not far behind Mama Li, "Mama Li, how can you say this?" ”

"This person has a bad reputation in the palace, and he was demoted to the palace by his own brother......" Mama Li said in her ear with great gravity, and even Xu Song's father and master are the chief chefs in the palace have said it, and now Xu Song is hiding in the imperial dining room like this, it is indeed a loss of face for the ancestors.

"Thank you Mama Li for the reminder!" Qiu Tian smiled, "Angelica, go and send Mama Li." ”

"Yes!" Angelica immediately agreed, but his eyes still warned Xiaoshizi viciously, Qiu Tian watched Mama Li and Angelica leave the small kitchen, and then turned his head to look at Xiaoshizi, "Men and women are on guard, ask Xu Song why he came?" ”

"Miss, don't ask!" Xiaoshizi smiled mysteriously, Qiu Tian tilted his head and asked, "Huh?" ”

"Xu Song's cooking skills are good, but he is a little arrogant, and now he was impressed by Miss's cooking skills in the imperial dining room today, and he came to ask Miss to accept him into the small kitchen." Xiao Shizi straightened his clothes, "Minion, now help you call him in?" ”

"Bastard!" She shouted angrily, and pointed loudly at the head of Xiaoshizi and scolded: "You elm head, do you know that today's small kitchen is not what it used to be, do you think that cats and dogs can come to the small kitchen?" ”

"This ......" Xiao Shizi suddenly looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Qiu Tian in front of him, "Miss......"

"If you want to enter the kitchen, you must be good at cooking; Either be loyal to me and give up everything. Although she said to Xiao Shizi, the corner of her eye still glanced at the person outside the courtyard who was obviously in mood swings.

She saw that the man shook for a moment, and left in a hurry, but she didn't care, the corners of her mouth raised, "Hurry up and help me take off the chicken feathers, today we will cook eight dishes about chicken." ”

"Miss, three big yellow chickens, making eight chicken dishes, is that a little less?"

"You don't understand this, do you?"

She smiled slightly, and put on her apron with a quick movement, "Eat less and taste more!" ”

"Miss, that chicken ......" Angelica still asked uneasily, but Qiu Tian suddenly brightened, "It's not in the way!" ”

She originally wanted to make the brocade chicken into a dish, so that the bones of the chicken would be gone, and it would be impossible for people to find the origin.

Presumably, even the emperor Lao'er has never tasted the golden chicken, so who else in the world has tasted it?

At that time, even if the incident in the east window happened, the emperor Lao Er blamed and punished, and finally found that the brocade chicken was eaten by himself, he and her were accomplices in the crime, and the punishment would not be too heavy.

Now, in just a cup of tea, this chicken disappeared in the small kitchen of the Luxury Fragrance Hall and disappeared without a trace.

If there is an inner ghost, it must be a pebble.

But he was cut off from the imperial dining room by himself, and he also set up the deputy head of the imperial dining room Zhou as an enemy, if he left the small kitchen of the luxury fragrance hall, he would definitely be worse than dead.

Smart people know how to choose. She didn't believe it, Xiao Shizi was so confused.

She bowed her head and her eyes narrowed slightly to look at the pebble that was pushing the chicken feathers diligently, Angelica found that Qiu Tian was observing the pebble, she deliberately lowered her voice, "Miss, do you suspect the pebble?" ”

"Huh?" Qiu Tian shook his head and deliberately replied loudly, "I want to give Xiaoshizi ten dares not to hide that chicken." ”

Obviously, Xiao Shizi's body stiffened, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking at Qiu Tian in fear, "Miss, slave...... Minion ......"

He looked at Qiu Tian and Angelica as if questioning his eyes, and kowtowed in panic, "Miss, you give the slave ten dares, and the slave doesn't dare!" Miss, in this palace, only the small kitchen of the Pianran Hall can have tiles to cover their heads......"

"Humph! How loyal it is now, if the backhand is bribed by other palace concubines and puts a drug in the dish, won't it hurt the young lady and the queen? Angelica glanced at him disdainfully, "Miss, let him go back to the imperial dining room!" ”

"Miss! Please, don't drive the minions away! Xiao Shizi hurriedly climbed in front of Qiu Tian, Qiu Tian looked at Xiao Shizi expressionlessly, Xiao Shizi suddenly remembered what Qiu Tian had said, and he pulled out a gray-brown bag from his thick cotton clothes.

Suddenly, Angelica shouted vigilantly, "What is this?" The "

Xiao Shizi hurriedly took out a jade pendant from the brocade bag, "Miss, this is the relic that the slave's mother gave to the slave before she died, which has a deep meaning for the slave, and the slave will give you proof of the slave's innocence." ”

Xiaoshizi suddenly stuffed the jade pendant into Qiu Tian's hand, Qiu Tian looked at the jade pendant in his hand that was as warm as water, and was stunned, "This is the best mutton fat jade!" ”

"My mother is a young lady of a wealthy businessman, but because she fell in love with my father and eloped, and finally died of illness on the bed a few years ago, leaving me and my father to depend on each other, and then I left my hometown to make a living......" Xiaoshizi sighed, his expression was a little gloomy, "Miss, the slave has been floating in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and finally got a position in the palace, and the slave did not sell his mother's relics in order to make his road better......"

"Now, Miss has given the slave a trace of belonging, and the slave is willing to give this jade pendant to Miss in order to prove his innocence." Xiaoshizi kowtowed pleadingly, "Please, Miss, don't drive away the minions!" Miss Ask for ......"

"Whoa!" Qiu Tian took the jade pendant into his arms and turned his head to look at Angelica, "I said that I would give ten cowardly stones, but I didn't dare to betray me." ”

"That's what Miss said!"

"Get up!" Qiu Tian bent down to pick up the pebble, "I believe you, but this jade pendant, you can take it back!" ”

"No!" Xiao Shizi shook his head resolutely, "Please take it again!" ”

Qiu Tian frowned and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and saw the small pebble that had returned to the stove and continued to pluck chicken feathers, "Strange!" ”
