my lord, please eat

The rank of the harem in the Daheng Dynasty is very clear.

When Gong Xiaoyong was "studying" at the Supervisory Bureau, the first thing to remember was the distinction between the superior and inferior of the people in the harem.

From the woman's point of view, it is not considered the queen mother, the first one is naturally the queen.Below the queen are two noble concubines, four concubines, six beauties, eight talents, and the number of Cainu and ordinary affairs is uncertain.And these women who serve the emperor are also of different ranks.Starting from the noble concubine, from the first rank to the sixth rank.But even the lowest level of sixth-rank common affairs, in front of the fifth-rank Yulin commander, is also the status of master.

Qian Meiren was newly accepted into the palace by the emperor at the beginning of last year.She is the youngest daughter of the servant of the household department. Her family status is not high, but she is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.But Gong Xiaoyong felt that everyone who was sent to the palace was called the number one beauty in XX, and there seemed to be a little more beauties in this world.Anyway, he knew that Beauty Qian was indeed the most favored one at present.Of course, according to the routine, usually such a person is the most dangerous around.

Gong Xiaoyong, who is in a "dangerous" place, is actually impossible to see Qian Meiren, let alone get close.But serving the favored person is really stressful.Although the laws of the Daheng Dynasty clearly stipulate that no one in the harem has the right to life and death except for the empress and the queen mother, it cannot be held back from reporting.Even if he did not die, because the food was not tasty, or because the master was temporarily intolerable and had diarrhea, it would still be a major event to be locked up in prison, and losing one's life would be nothing more than a child's disease.

Gong Xiaoyong really hates it.He scolded Mu Xiang to the end in his heart, but things still had to be done.A slave is something that really has no autonomy.

The small kitchens in each palace and courtyard are located in the harem, so the eunuchs are in charge of cooking.Likewise, getting to this point is not easy.Unless it was a cook brought by a certain concubine as a dowry, who was given root-removing medicine before entering the palace.Otherwise, it would be very difficult for anyone in their forties to be in the top position.

The Fengji Pavilion where Beauty Qian lives is attached to the Kangyi Palace in the West Palace.The palace is gorgeous, and the place is spacious enough, but the height is a bit shorter than the main palace.But just like this, Gong Xiaoyong also felt that it was extravagant enough.These wealthy people in power really committed crimes.As for the days he lived in the palace house after time travel, his living was not much better than a kennel!

Mu Xiang is now the eunuch in charge of the kitchen of Fengji Pavilion, and this position is the head eunuch who manages the kitchen.Everything from the cook in charge to the little eunuch doing chores is under his jurisdiction.However, due to the different grades of the masters of each palace, the highest staffing is also different.In Fengji Pavilion, including Gong Xiaoyong who came to help and Mu Xiang who was in charge, there were only eight people.Fortunately, this small kitchen does not need to be used for the daily meals of the eunuchs and maids, otherwise they would have to be too busy.

Seeing that Mu Xiang brought a young eunuch who was blind and dry, the people in the small kitchen didn't care.But when Mu Xiang arranged to give the little eunuch a cooking stove.Everyone was shocked.

That attitude included surprise, envy, bewilderment, and of course contempt.But when the eunuch in charge of the kitchen spoke, the subordinates had to listen besides listening.

"Monkey boy, don't let our family's good intentions be in vain! Can you make dim sum?" With a low voice, Mu Xiang looked around the faces of the group of people in the small kitchen, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Gong Xiaoyong's cooking skills are passed down from family, but what I'm talking about now should be passed down from Gong Xiaoyong's family in his previous life.It is said that the Gong family had a royal chef more than a dozen generations ago. Although they did not leave behind any high-end products such as "cooking secret books", they also inherited the talent of cooking in the family.Under the "training" of her parents and elders, Gong Xiaoyong has been a foodie since childhood, so he is too lazy to think about anything, but he definitely knows what to eat. "Dim sum? Yes. Tell me. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, what kind of flavor do you want?"

Mu Xiang glanced at Cui Xi, who is in charge of the small kitchen, and said proudly: "Don't fix those flashy things. Make two things for the beauties to taste before dinner. Xiao Wuzi, you will start working with Xiao Yongzi today. You Be careful, don't try to make trouble. This is for the beauty and Mrs. Qian. If something goes wrong, none of the eight of us will be able to recover!"

Xiao Wuzi was a little eunuch who was the same age as Gong Xiaoyong.However, being assigned to the small kitchen is basically a little bit higher than Gong Xiaoyong who was assigned to cook in the imperial kitchen.In addition, Cui Xi took a fancy to the one who wanted to be his apprentice, so he was very upset with Gong Xiaoyong, who was arranged to be on the stove right away.

Fortunately, what these slaves are most afraid of is that something will happen to the master if he eats.Not to mention dim sum, even if something happened to a grain of rice, it would be the fault of the entire kitchen, so when it comes to making food, Xiao Wuzi and others really didn't dare to make trouble for Gong Xiaoyong.It's just that after Mu Xiang left, all the sour words popped out.

Who is Gong Xiaoyong?Although he is a time traveler, before entering the palace, what his stepmother said was much worse than this group of people.Besides, he still has a powerful weapon, that is, every time he hears someone scolding himself, he will automatically and consciously recite silently: This is not scolding Lao Tzu, no, no, absolutely not.Then it will be adjusted automatically.

Gong Xiaoyong felt very happy to be able to cook a delicious meal with peace of mind.So even if he is not making food for the ruling class, he will still do his best.

He probably doesn't know what Mrs. Qian likes to eat, but this group of people must know what Qian Meiren likes.The unlucky Mu Xiang didn't even say a few words to him, so he got out of the way, and now he has to apologize and inquire. "Little fifth brother, may I ask you, what kind of food does Beauty Qian like?"

Little Wu curled his lips. After all, the child is not old, and he is still honest. He blurted out before Tracy stopped him. "Beauties like to eat light food, not spicy food."

If you don't like spicy food, it has nothing to do with making dim sum yourself.Gong Xiaoyong thought about it, then asked with a smile: "Is there anything that beauty doesn't eat?"

Probably because Gong Xiaoyong's expression was too doggy, Xiao Wuzi had a feeling of being respected, so he said it stupidly: "There is no one who doesn't eat, but beauties don't like greasy things. Unless the emperor Come to have a meal together, otherwise we seldom cook meaty dishes."

Trish is heartbroken.It seems that whether I want to accept Xiao Wuzi as an apprentice or not, I have to observe for a while.Why did this kid say everything before he was coaxed.If I say a few more nice words, can't I explain all the eight generations of my ancestors?

"Your name is Xiao Yongzi, right? Since you were temporarily transferred from the imperial dining room, you must have good craftsmanship. The imperial dining room is a place where experts gather. Just do what you did before. Let us Those people in the small kitchen should open their eyes and see the world." After glaring at Xiao Wuzi fiercely, Cui Xipi said to Gong Xiaoyong with a non-smiling smile.

Gong Xiaoyong is better than him, and she basically manages to smile like a smirk, which is hard to do. Generally speaking, smiling is uglier than crying. "To tell you the truth, I'm the cook of the imperial kitchen and responsible for cleaning and chopping firewood. I really haven't been on the stove before."

Just this one sentence made Tracy's soul almost pissed off.Mu Xiang, an old man, actually got a cook who was in charge of cleaning, and urged him to come over and cook like him!This is delicious because he knows people with his eyesight, and he can get the master's praise, and he will belittle himself by the way.If you can't do it well, it's really fifty for each of the one hundred boards!This trick is too fucking vicious!

Gong Xiaoyong was in a good mood seeing Cui Xi being so angry that she looked like a foreign chicken.Although he doesn't like Mu Xiang's crow voice, he often complains about him viciously behind his back.But a person who thinks highly of himself and a person who looks down on himself, if he doesn't look towards the former, then he is a big fool.

Just like the struggles of these women in the harem, there are never many battles between the kitchen and the stove.

Gong Xiaoyong, who was "struggled", is very busy now.He was thinking about what snacks to make to satisfy Qian Meiren's taste.

There are many types of light tea fruits, and he doesn't want to make them too innovative.The gun hits the head of the bird, and he doesn't want to stay here, so the ordinary things are almost the same.

Mochi and shortbread.It is simple and can make a good taste. It is quite satisfactory, as long as there are slight changes.

Seeing that Gong Xiaoyong was only doing these two things, Cui Xi was somewhat relieved.He is also very good at these two things.As long as this kid is edible, Beauty Qian, who doesn't like cakes, won't care too much.Of course, I don't have to be shabby.

Before sending Beauty Qian to taste, Mu Xiang naturally had to go through the basket first.

The snow-white glutinous rice balls are small and cute. If they are eaten by the mouths of "men" like them, they can fit two in one bite.But in terms of Qian Meiren and his group of noble ladies, it happened to be the size of two people.

The lady Mu Xiang was holding the chopsticks, raised her little finger, and put a glutinous rice dumpling to her mouth.Smell it first.In addition to the fragrance of glutinous rice, there is also a little tea fragrance.After taking a bite, I kept half of it and tasted it carefully.Eyes are bright.Looking at the remaining half, I immediately asked: "Good monkey boy, our family has also eaten a lot of tea fruit in the palace, and this glutinous rice dumpling is not the first time we have tasted it. But yours is really special. The green one inside What stuffing is it?"

Gong Xiaoyong replied: "Grandpa Huixiang, the white skin on the outside is glutinous rice cake, and the green stuffing inside is glutinous rice stuffing. It means that the inside and the outside are one, and one heart and one mind." After finishing speaking, he shook himself a bit, saying this , It's really cold.

Mu Xiang praised loudly: "Then why is this glutinous rice stuffing green? Our family only knows to use mung beans as sweet stuffing, but it doesn't have such a green feeling."

Gong Xiaoyong smiled: "If you ask about this, others will know it in the future, and the servant will not be able to give you a face." After he finished speaking, he picked up Tracy, whose nose was not a nose, and whose face was not a face. .

Mu Xiang was in a good mood: "That's right! Our family won't ask! Then what name do you want to call this plate of glutinous rice balls?"

If you eat glutinous rice balls, you will eat glutinous rice balls, and you have to name them.The people in this palace are really hypocritical.But just like the dung beetle also has the name of a dung beetle.My beautiful and delicious glutinous rice dumpling really needs a nice name.So after pondering for a while, he finally came up with a name that he could still hear: "Look, how about 'Xue Li Zang Cui'?"

After hearing this, Mu Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! It's called Xueli Zangcui! Come on, hand over that plate for our family to taste what it tastes like!"

Gong Xiaoyong immediately handed it over like a dogleg: "The name of this plate of shortbread is 'Peach Fragrance', you come and taste it, whether it has the aroma of peach blossom~!"
