Chapter 375: Xiao Meiren
The mist was circulating, the wooden tablet was standing, Li Yi looked at the dense inscriptions above the wooden tablet, and felt quite touched in his heart.
I remember the first time I came in, it was empty and there was nothing.
But now, there are already so many inscriptions.
These inscriptions are not only the life of the ancient famous chef, but also a sign of his skill improvement.
From the simplest fried rice to a full set of banquets, he has now become a chef who can take charge of himself.
But he is still a certain distance from the top chefs.
Familiar with the pricking of his finger, he pressed towards the wooden tablet.
Who will he possess this time?
His mind sank, and when he woke up again, he was already lying on a shelf bed.
The bed curtain is slightly transparent, and the brocade quilt is smooth and slightly fragrant.
Li Yi raised his hand and looked at it, Bai Shengsheng's arms were slender and smooth, and his fingers were calloused, as if a woman was soft.
It looks pretty good!
Li Yi was quite satisfied.
The last time he possessed Zhu Erguan, he suffered a lot of crimes, not to mention that he was fat and fat, and he still dealt with pigs all day long.
Every day from morning to night, there is a pig smell, and I can't wash it clean.
The person who was possessed this time looked much better, at least not like a rough worker.
Satisfied, he straightened his hands and stretched.
"Hmm~...... Well? ”
Halfway through his waist, he suddenly stiffened.
What's the situation? What's wrong with his voice?
Sounds like a throat between your throats, girly?
Could it be that he has possessed Shuanglin again?
Huh?
He suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong with him.
It seems that there is something more, and something is missing.
After a slight feeling, he moved his shoulders, his face suddenly stiffened, and he blurted out in his mouth: "Wang Defa? ”
Something seems wrong!
And his voice has become a little strange.
How does it sound like a woman?
He panicked a little and hurriedly sat up.
The quilt slipped off, and when he looked down, he couldn't see his belly.
"This ......"
Li Yi's eyes almost popped out.
What's going on?
No way?
Has he become a woman?
When he realized this, he panicked.
With the last shred of luck, he got out of bed, turned his back, and looked down to check.
Gone?!
He was momentarily dumbfounded.
Crunch!
The door was pushed open.
"Ahh
Li Yi exclaimed, hurriedly jumped back on the bed, picked up the quilt, and blocked himself.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in with a copper basin.
Hearing Li Yi's exclamation, she turned her head to look, shook her head and said, "It's all three poles a day, and you can't get up yet?" Whose daughter is so lazy?
Hurry up and help me steam refreshments, if outsiders know that you sleep every day until you can't afford to eat, see who dares to marry you back! ”
As she spoke, she put the copper basin on the basin shelf, turned around and pointed at Li Yi with her fingers, urging: "Wash up quickly!" Don't let me call you again, or you'll be served by rattan! ”
With that, she went out and closed the door.
Stunned to watch her leave, listening to her footsteps away, Li Yi woke up like a dream, lifted the quilt, ran to the copper basin barefoot, and looked towards the basin.
The clear water in the basin reflected a young woman with a beautiful face, looking at the basin with a frightened expression.
Seeing this woman's face, Li Yi suddenly gasped.
He's really become a woman!
He knows this woman, surnamed Xiao, called Xiao Meiren, and is a native of Zhenzhou, Yizheng, Su Province.
She is good at making good pastries, and the famous gourmand Yuan Mei mentioned in "Suiyuan Food List": "Outside the south gate of Yizheng, Xiao Meiren is good at making dim sum, all steamed buns, peanuts, melon seeds, pastries, etc., small and cute, white as snow." ”
He also took Xiao Meiren's eight kinds of beauty dim sum as gifts and took them to the governor of Jiangsu as gifts.
Later, as her beautiful dim sum became famous, Qianlong specially sent someone to her shop to order 2,000 pieces of dim sum and distributed them to the nobles and imperial concubines in the harem to taste.
Later, beauty dim sum has been used as a royal tribute, widely respected, and favored by Jiangnan celebrities.
Some poets wrote poems for her and praised her: her hands are delicate and powdery, and she is good at kneading crispy grits and mixing them. Since the incense to Jiangnan Day, the city has been famous for Xiao Meiren.
Some people also compared the pastries she made to the famous red silk cake of the Tang Dynasty, saying, "The red silk brings out the flavor of Rao, which shows that Zhenzhou is good at it." ”
Some people even compared her pastries to be as valuable as gold, and used them as gifts, which was very face-saving.
Later, in order to celebrate Qianlong's 80th birthday, Xiao Meiren was also recruited into Beijing a year in advance, and was in charge of the white case and making pastries in the imperial dining room.
That time, Li Yi was still attached to Li Kaile's body, and he was also the Xiao Meiren he met at that time.
However, Xiao Meiren was 49 years old at that time, and she was 50 years old.
Although it is well maintained and the charm still exists, he is already an old man who is over half a hundred years old.
But the Xiao beauty in front of her is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she is in her youth.
Although it is not as beautiful as star-level beauties like Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, it can be regarded as delicate and lovely.
No wonder those sour talents who have seen her will praise her for "her face is like a hibiscus on the shore, and her eyes are like clear autumn water".
But Li Yi doesn't want to be beautiful and lovely, his face is like a hibiscus!
He's a man!
How did you become a woman?
The last time I possessed Shuanglin, although I couldn't use it, at least I still had it.
This time it's completely gone!
Holding the basin, Li Yi collapsed for a long time before he regained his senses.
Fortunately, this is just possession, as long as he learns the craft, he can return to reality.
After realizing this, Li Yi immediately washed up.
Learn! Hurry up and learn!
Learn even if you don't sleep!
After entering the dream space so many times, it was the first time he was so desperate to leave early.
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.
Li Yi's figure reappeared in the wooden tablet space.
The memory in the dream was isolated, Li Yi closed his eyes, and slowed down for more than twenty minutes before opening his eyes.
Looking at the familiar wooden tablet space, he breathed a long sigh of relief and completely relieved.
On the wooden tablet in front of him, the inscription began to appear.
Xiao Meiren (from the third day of March in the eighth year of Qianlong to the second day of May in the first year of Jiaqing)
Female, Yizheng from Suzhou Province, ancestral business, opened a tea shop at home, learned pastry since childhood, at the age of 25, there was a fire at home, both parents died, and then opened a cake and dumpling shop alone, which was famous.
In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, the pastries made were purchased by the palace and given as royal tribute, which was exclusively used by the nobles and concubines of the harem.
In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong, he entered the palace as the chief chef of the white case.
In the 57th year of Qianlong, he offered longevity peaches, ruyi and other pastries for Qianlong's 80th birthday banquet, and was given the title of "beauty dim sum" and died well.
Looking at the inscriptions that emerged, the isolated memories in Li Yi's mind were also vivid, and he reviewed them again.
The time when he left was here in the 46th year of Qianlong.
At that time, her dim sum reputation had just spread to the capital, and Qianlong sent officials to come to her to purchase dim sum.
It was said that it was procurement, but in fact, no money was given at all.
The prefect asked him to prepare 2,000 pieces of dim sum to pay tribute to the emperor, and said: "If the 3,000 beauties in the harem are satisfied, you will be prosperous in the future." ”
And this sentence is the task he has to do this time.
