In the afternoon, the accompanying eunuch came to report in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen have made what you ordered! The slaves have already asked the craftsmen to carry the things into the yard."

Ying Zigao couldn't help feeling refreshed, and hurriedly said, "I want to take a good look!"

As he spoke, Ying Zigao strode to the courtyard of Yushufang.

As soon as he opened the door, Ying Zigao saw that an exquisite stone mill had been placed in the yard.

When I got closer, I realized that the stone mill was made of high-quality stone.

Grinding discs, push rods, every part is carefully crafted.Also fully met their own design requirements.

"It's really well done." Ying Zigao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I'm very satisfied."

After receiving Ying Zigao's praise and affirmation, the craftsmen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their expressions became excited.

"Your Majesty, what is this machine for?"

Looking at the exquisite stone mill, the accompanying eunuch couldn't help asking curiously.

"You'll know right away." Ying Zigao said with a bright smile in a good mood.

While talking, he ordered: "Bring two sacks of wheat! Bring a donkey, and prepare some brooms and bags!"

"Your servant understands!" Even though he was not sure what Ying Zigao meant, the accompanying eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly agreed.

Soon, the eunuchs came first with a strong little donkey, and brought two big sacks of wheat, brooms, and sacks.

"Blindfold the donkey and put it on the putter!"

Ying Zigao looked at the little donkey, opened his pockets again, looked at the wheat, and found that they were all good, so he ordered: "Drive the donkey to grind the mill! You guys put the wheat in your pockets along the eye of the stone millstone." Fall down!"

Under Ying Zigao's order, the little donkey pulled the millstone and started turning it non-stop.

The wheat fell on the millstone and slipped down the millstone. With the creaking sound of the stone mill, soon, the white and fine flour continued to fall from the gap in the ink.

I saw that the stone mill had ground grains of hard-hulled wheat into snow-white and fine flour so quickly.

Everyone present couldn't help being shocked.For a while, he stood there blankly.

"Why are you still standing there, take a broom and sweep all the flour that falls from the millstone into your pocket!"

Ying Zigao couldn't help feeling anxious, and hurriedly said, "This is all high-quality flour!"

The little eunuch who was driving the donkey to grind the noodles came back to his senses.He hurriedly picked up the broom and poured the flour into his pocket.

In just half an hour, the two big sacks of wheat were all ground into flour!
Ying Zigao walked to the pocket, picked up a handful of flour, and smelled the familiar smell of wheat.

"Your Majesty, I never expected that this hard-hulled wheat would turn into such white and delicate flour!"

The accompanying eunuch couldn't help but said: "This is really amazing!"

"Finally I can eat white noodles!" Ying Zigao became even more excited, and hurriedly ordered to the eunuch with him, "Take these two bags of noodles and follow me to the imperial kitchen!"

When they came to the royal kitchen, the royal chef and the eunuchs, the maids were surprised and excited at the same time!
You know, in this era of fastidiousness, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen!

Not to mention the emperor, no one with any status would come to the kitchen.

It was the first time that Ying Zigao came to the kitchen in person!
Busy kneeling down to pay respects!
"Get up." Ying Zi said kindly, "Work hard."

The imperial chef and the assistant chef still knelt down on the ground tremblingly, not daring to make a slight move.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty orders, get up and work hard!"

Ying Zigao sighed secretly, it seems that the status of chefs in this era is really low!
It's time to improve their treatment and status.

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao came to the kitchen.

Only then did he discover that the cooking utensils in the kitchen were still bronze wares such as tripods, urns, stews, fou, and cauldrons!

Not to mention the impact of using bronze cooking utensils on the body, but this shape is bulky enough.

It can only be used for simple grilling and steaming, not to mention the difficult cooking techniques such as frying, cooking, and frying. It is not convenient to steam a steamed bun for the next noodle!

"Do you have a clay pot and a stove here?" Ying Zigao frowned slightly, and then seriously asked the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen.

"Your Majesty, there are." The eunuch in charge said worriedly, "It's just these, they are all in the small kitchen around the corner."

"Take me to have a look." Ying Zigao said hurriedly.

Hearing this, the eunuch in charge couldn't help hesitating, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the small kitchen is used for cooking by the imperial chef and the servants. The conditions are simple. It's very dirty..."

"I'm going to take a look." Ying Zi said seriously.

The eunuch in charge felt nervous, and hurriedly led Ying Zigao to the small kitchen in the corner.

Approaching the small kitchen, Ying Zigao realized that the conditions were indeed very simple.

It was a low adobe house with only one small window on the side, and the simple chimney made of earth blocks was still emitting continuous cooking smoke.

Pushing open the door, several maids who looked like kitchen helpers fumbled and fell to their knees!
"Who asked you to cook at this time?" the eunuch in charge sternly shouted, and the maids were immediately frightened and trembling!
"What are you shouting!" Ying Zigao saw the eunuch in charge getting angry in front of him, so he couldn't help but get angry, and shouted loudly!
The eunuch in charge was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty, these servants are not following the rules..."

"Are you on duty?" Ying Zigao ignored the manager and asked the maids kindly.

"Your Majesty, the servants are not on duty!"

Several maids saw Ying Zigao's kind attitude, and said cautiously: "The servants have finished their lunch and haven't eaten a bite of food since morning. They are really hungry, so they have the courage to cook some rice for themselves." Porridge……"

"I see." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "I have been hungry for so long, and I have to cook by myself. It's too hard."

While talking, he ordered the eunuch in charge: "Let them eat some ready-made ones first!"

"Slaves understand!" The eunuch in charge quickly agreed, and someone brought ready-made food.

Then he sent these maids to his room for dinner.

Only then did Ying Zigao examine it carefully.

In the small kitchen, several pots and stoves were dug out of the ground, and a few simple pottery pots were placed on top of the pots and stoves.

"Although it's a bit crude, it's still no problem to make a bowl of noodles!"

Ying Zigao looked at it carefully, and said seriously: "Call the imperial chef, I have something for him to make here!"

Hearing this, the accompanying eunuch and the eunuch in charge couldn't help being shocked!
The eunuch in charge said even more nervously: "Your Majesty, absolutely not! The clay pot and stove are for the servants to cook!"
