Husband in limbo

Yu Wenqing saw Xiao Ke standing in front of the cold palace door, getting angry at a bunch of things, while the other tall man in black clothes tried to calm down Xiao Ke's anger by pretending to be small.Seeing such a tall and strong person trying to shrink his figure beside Xiao Ke, he felt funny.Wondering what happened to them.Then Shi Shiran walked over.

The closer Yu Wenqing got closer, the more clearly he could hear.

"It's too much! It's too much! How can we feed our master these things? Look at the meat, it's all white meat, it's worse than before, it's really deceiving! And this spicy dish, How can anyone like to eat this kind of dish, and it occupies a large portion. Manager Li is really too much!"

"Xiao Ke, don't be angry, you also know that this palace is used to bullying the high and trampling the low. Your master offended Concubine Yu and was sent here. They must be bullying. Although they can't get in here, It is inevitable that your things will be embezzled. You should also be at ease, after all, this is something that people like us can't interfere with, right?" The man looked simple and honest, but he still understood the affairs of the palace. No matter how you say it, you are a servant, you have no rights and no one, you can only behave carefully.

Xiao Ke still felt aggrieved, "My master is clearly innocent, but he was punished here and treated so badly. It's really unfair."

"Xiao Ke..." The man was about to continue to comfort him, but when he saw Yu Wenqing approaching, he bowed his head and saluted, "I have seen Yuwen waiter."

There are three levels of male concubines in the royal family, one is the waiter, and above the waiter is the favorite concubine; the highest is the imperial husband, which is equivalent to the title of queen.

Yu Wenqing nodded slightly, "Yes."

The man accepted the etiquette.

With a faint smile between Yu Wenqing's brows, he asked softly: "Xiao Ke, what's the matter, your little face is red from anger?"

Xiaojian saw that his master came, and immediately complained: "Master, the food they give us is getting worse and worse."

Yu Wenqing didn't care much, "Really?" Then he looked down at the things on the ground.

There were two bags of rice noodles on the ground, the rest were mainly vegetables, and the meat was a large piece of fat, weighing more than 20 catties.

Animals in this world are extremely lethal, and being able to catch prey is a symbol of strength, so eating meat has become a symbol of dignity.Both the nobles and the rich eat meat as their staple food. It would be contemptuous if they were vegetarians. Although they felt very speechless, in a world where power is the most important thing, there is nothing strange about it.

No wonder Xiao Ke was angry. He used to be a waiter. Although his status was not high, his status was noble. He used to mainly eat meat, but now that he is in the cold palace, he only eats common food for himself. , or even civilians don't eat green vegetables now, so it would be too obvious an insult to do so.And the meat that was just a little bit was still the fat that everyone didn't like, like a charity.

When it comes to the food in this world, Yu Wenqing sighs at the backwardness. The only way to cook food is to bake and boil, but there is no corresponding food with rice noodles.Of course, these are also related to the development of the country, because the world has been in war before, and the war has made the people miserable. It is good to have enough food, and no one has the heart to think about how to cook.Only in the past ten years have there been a peaceful living environment.Originally, the only food that people could eat was meat and fruits. It wasn't until one year that food was so scarce that people started to try to eat everything when they were hungry, only then did they discover a lot of 'grass' that could be eaten.Of course, the discovery of rice and wheat is a great pioneering work, but unfortunately the yield is too low. The staple food that the common people eat is a kind of fruit called pompon fruit. It will expand a lot, sweet and easy to fill, and the yield is also high, with two harvests a year.So people don't force much on rice noodles.

Yu Wenqing saw a familiar figure among the vegetables. He knelt down and picked it up. This figure really looked like a pepper, although it was only one finger long.Red, a normal chili color.

He broke it open and smelled it, it can be seen that he wanted to stop this kind of behavior but he didn't have time.

"It's so pungent!" Yu Wenqing couldn't help sighing.

Xiao Ke immediately followed up and said, "Is that right? They are really bullying us even if they bring such unpalatable food to us."

Yu Wenqing was very happy in his heart, but he likes spicy food very much.

Seeing Xiao Ke pouted unhappy, he rubbed the other person's head, "Don't be angry, let's not be as knowledgeable as them." Then he turned to look at the tall man standing beside him, "Who are you?"

Liu Yi lowered his head slightly and said, "The young one is the assistant cook in the dining room."

Yu Wenqing asked softly, "What's your name?"

Xiao Ke interrupted with a smile, "His name is Liu Yi, and he is my good friend."

Yu Wenqing looked at Xiao Ke's cute smile on the side, and then looked at Liu Yi who was also looking at Xiao Ke's smirk, with an overly doting look in his eyes.

In this world, it doesn’t matter if a partner is a man or a woman, because the founding emperor liked a man, and he was so infatuated that there was no one else in the harem. In order to reproduce, the imperial doctor developed the Birth Pill. From then on, men can also have children.Thinking of this, Yu Wenqing felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, when he was reborn, he was already in the cold palace. Although it was rumored that the emperor was not a man, he was afraid of anything if not ten thousand. It was okay, otherwise. . .Thinking of having a baby, I couldn't help shaking, it was too scary.

After calming down, "Can you enter the cold palace?"

Liu Yi, "I'm in charge of delivering things to you. I come every ten days. I just stay for a while before I have to leave. There are still people waiting outside."

Yu Wenqing nodded inwardly, just a bit of a headache for this pair of mandarin ducks, this one can't get out, and the other can't stay, hey.However, there is nothing he can do now, he can only let nature take its course, maybe one day he will be lucky, and he may go out.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Yi said to Xiao Ke reluctantly, "Xiao Ke, I have to go, and I will come to see you next time."

Little funny replied heartlessly: "Okay, then next time you come, bring me some delicious food, we don't have anything here."

"Yeah." Liu Yi nodded with a smile, and then said to Yu Wenqing, "The waiter Yuwen is taking his leave."

Yu Wenqing nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Liu Yi turned around and went out, and closed the door of the cold palace.

"Master, go and rest first, I'll put all these things in the kitchen."

Yu Wenqing looked at the pile on the ground, "Let me help too, with so many things, you will be tired if you carry them by yourself." After all, Xiao Ke is a child, and I can't bear to let him serve her, how can I just watch People are suffering alone.

When Xiao Ke heard what Yu Wenqing said, she immediately frowned, with a very serious look, "This is not good, you are the master, how can you do these things?"

Yu Wenqing said seriously: "Xiao Ke, the two of us will depend on each other for life from now on, so there is no such thing as master and servant. In the final analysis, I was the one who dragged you into the limbo."

"Master..." Xiao Ke wanted to refute, Yu Wenqing picked up the flour bag on the ground, "Don't talk so much, just move things, we have to spend a trip to finish moving."

Seeing that his master was so persistent, he picked up another bag of rice and muttered, "This is against the rules, how could it be like this?"

Yu Wenqing ignored him, and now he sighed in his heart that his physical fitness was too poor. He felt tired after walking with a weight of twenty or thirty catties. It seemed that he really needed to exercise.

When she came to the kitchen and saw the neat and tidy kitchen, Xiao Ke was taken aback again, "Ah, master, this was cleaned up by you, how could you do these things!"

Yu Wenqing saw his hellish expression, smiled and shook his head, "Why can't I do it, I plan to cook at night."

"What! Absolutely not! Master, that's Xiao Ke's job!" Xiao Ke argues, how can he let the master cook? Although he is worried that the master will not do something, Xiao Ke still thinks that he is A good servant, a good servant should not let the master do the things that the servants do.

Yu Wenqing didn't argue with Xiao Ke, turned around and continued to move things, but Xiao Ke kept explaining in his ear that as a master, he couldn't do servant work, that's not good.

Xiao Ke talked back and forth, and after Yu Wenqing put away his things, he looked at Xiao Ke who was still persuading him to give up his plan to cook, and asked with a smile, "Are you thirsty?"

Xiao Ke stopped to feel it, felt it seriously, and said, "I'm a little thirsty."

Yu Wenqing immediately said: "Then go drink some water."

Xiao Ke subconsciously said, "Okay." Then she went out.

Simply dismissing Xiao Ke, Yu Wenqing looked at the ingredients and had a plan in mind.

Wash the 20-odd catties of fat in an earthen basin, and wash two large-mouthed earthenware pots by the way.When Xiao Ke came back, he happened to see Yu Wenqing putting the clay pot upside down, so that it was convenient to control the water to dry up. After a while, wipe it dry with a rag and it will be ready to use.

"Master, you still have to cook." Then she looked at him with sad eyes, which were full of accusations of 'I have spent so much effort to convince you'.

Yu Wenqing was almost amused by him, nodded solemnly, and jokingly said: "Xiao Ke, actually I don't want to talk about it, but I can't help it, the food you cook is too bad, so I can't help but cook ,real!"

Xiao Ke's face instantly turned red, and she said guiltily, "Master, I'm sorry, I will continue to work hard."

Yu Wenqing pretended to be serious and nodded, "I knew Xiao was a good boy, so leave the hard work this time to me. Next time you will continue to make persistent efforts."

"Alright then." Xiao Ke hammered and said despondently.

Yu Wenqing felt a little guilty for bullying a child, and was about to comfort Xiao Ke, when he saw that the other party was revived on the spot as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he clenched his little fist with high spirits and assured Yu Wenqing seriously: "Master , don't worry, I will seriously practice my cooking skills starting tomorrow, and I will definitely become an excellent chef."

Yu Wenqing patted the other person on the shoulder to encourage him, "I believe in you. Xiao Ke, help me light the fire."

"Okay." When Xiao Ke heard that there was work to do, she immediately returned to her normal state.

Xiao Ke went to hold the firewood, and Yu Wenqing quickly cut the fat into pieces. I don't know what kind of animal's meat is so fat.

Yu Wenqing asked Xiao Ke to heat up both the large and small pots. He was going to steam the rice in the big pot, and the small pot was used to refine oil and stir-fry vegetables.

Wash the rice, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, pour the rice into the pot, and then concentrate on doing other things.

The small pot quickly heated up, and Yu Wenqing poured part of the fat into the pot, only to hear a stabbing sound.Because of dietary problems, there is no spatula, only a large iron spoon.

Xiao Ke was very surprised why no water was added, but after a while, she smelled a strong fragrance: "It smells so good. Master is so powerful!" Looking at Yu Wenqing, her starry eyes twinkled.

Yu Wenqing smiled without saying a word, put the oil into a clay pot, put the oil residue into a large bowl, and put the fat meat to continue refining.In his spare time, Yu Wenqing made some ginger juice, and while the frying was still hot, he added salt and ginger juice and mixed it for a while, then gave it to Xiao Ke who worked hard.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious! It's crunchy and fragrant!" Xiao Ke was very satisfied.

Yu Wenqing was happy to see him eating, and he was also happy watching it.After refining the oil in two clay pots, Xiao Ke naturally didn't eat all the oil residue, as he had other uses.

After doing this, the rice fragrance came out of the cauldron.Let Xiao Ke smell very intoxicated.When it was almost time, Yu Wenqing asked Xiao Ke to stop the fire and be bored for a while.

Yu Wenqing simply fried two small dishes, one is the kind of knotty dish, and the other is Shanghai green vegetables fried with a little oil residue, both of which only add a little chili, I'm afraid it will be unbearable live.While cooking, Xiao Ke kept asking, "Why didn't you add water, why is it so fragrant, why is it so delicious!"

Looking at the dishes in the big bowl, "Master, you are amazing!" Xiao Ke blushed excitedly, with a look of admiration.

Yu Wenqing smiled lightly, "Don't be ridiculous, go and tidy up the pavilion, we will eat there later."

"Okay." He ran out quickly, and then ran back, "Hey, I forgot to bring the cloth."

Yu Wenqing shook his head with a smile, put the rice into the clay pot, covered it and used it just right.

Xiao Ke tidied up quickly, and then came back to serve the dishes and meals.And Yu Wenqing took the opportunity to clean it up.

Yu Wenqing sat down, picked up the bowl, and was about to eat, when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Ke, who was standing aside, who thought he was hiding, drooling, "Sit down and eat."

Xiao Ke hesitated, "This is not good."

Yu Wenqing put down his chopsticks, "Xiao Ke, there are only two of us here, there is no need for so many rules, just sit down and eat, and you have to clean the dishes after eating." Yu Wenqing felt that it would be better for Xiao Ke to be so young.

Xiao Ke hesitated for a moment, unable to resist the temptation of food, finally sat down, "Thank you, master."

Yu Wenqing picked some food for Xiao Ke, and then ate it by himself.Xiao Ke's rules can only be changed slowly for him, he is not in a hurry.

Xiao Ke looked at the dishes in the bowl and felt warm in his heart. Today he suddenly felt that staying in the cold palace is actually quite good, at least now that he is sitting down, no one will blame him, no one will punish him.As a servant, he has nothing to complain about, but he is very grateful for his master's kindness to him.

Yu Wenqing thought the two stir-fried dishes were pretty good, the most important thing was that the dishes were fresh and delicious, and what surprised him even more was that the bamboo-like vegetables really tasted like potatoes.

The two had a great meal, but Xiao Ke had never eaten such a delicious meal, and Yu Wenqing felt that he had finally eaten a normal meal.

Xiao Ke rubbed her stomach, "I'm so overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed."

Yu Wenqing smiled helplessly seeing his painful and satisfied look, "You eat too much."

"It's so delicious." Xiao Ke said embarrassingly, "Actually, if my stomach is not too small to fit it, I really want to eat the rest of the rice. It's too wasteful to leave it alone."

"You can still eat it tomorrow, what a pity you are. Remember to walk around to digest food after a while, and it will be bad if you accumulate food."

"Well, I got it." Xiao Ke said, "By the way, master, how did you come up with the idea of ​​eating it this way? I have never seen a dish cooked like yours, and this rice, I didn't expect to cook it in water No, it will taste so good."

Yu Wenqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I used to study it when I was bored at home, and I didn't tell anyone about it."

"Master is so smart!"
