Yipin Chef

, Wrinkled into a bun, what's going on?How did the sweet, sweet and glutinous ginkgo become bitter and unpalatable when it came to the emperor?

The eunuch on the side scolded angrily: "What do you want to do? Do you want to poison the emperor? Come..."

54. Harm invisible

Jia Le lay miserable on the bed, tears streaming down her face.

After the doctor finished researching the medicine, Ye Chengfeng was afraid that the manpower would be too heavy, so he administered the medicine himself, complaining: "What's the matter? You came back happily with the reward the day before yesterday, why did you get [-] boards today? Is it? Thanks to those guards for being merciful, otherwise your ass will not bloom."

"Woo..." Jia Le was extremely wronged, "I don't know what's going on."

"Stupid, you don't even know what happened, really." Ye Chengfeng punched the bed angrily, the bed shook, and Jia Le cried out in pain.

Hearing his shouting, Ye Chengfeng was quite angry. Knowing that he was not injured internally, he was a little relieved, and began to ask him in detail: "If you think about the cooking process carefully, what happened?"

Jiale thought about it carefully. It is very simple to remove the ginkgo film and scald it with boiling water, then dye it with red yeast rice, turmeric, and green leaves, and then wrap it in rock sugar juice. It is very simple. The important thing is that the heat should be just right. It can't be heated enough, otherwise it will have a raw taste.Then pour honey juice, the color and taste are very good, he tried several times before he dared to present it to the emperor.

"Nothing happened while cooking."

Ye Chengyun asked: "Don't you try the dishes yourself first?"

Jia Le said: "I tasted it, it's sweet, soft and glutinous, it's delicious, who would have thought that it would turn out like that after putting it on a plate and sending it to the emperor."

Ye Chengfeng frowned and realized something was wrong, and asked, "Has anyone moved the plate?"

"Ah..." Jia Le remembered, "It was He Qingdong who wiped my plate with a cloth."

Xiao Bai suddenly realized: "It's the alum. He wiped the alum on the cloth and then wiped your plate. When the alum gets hot, it will make your dishes bitter and unpalatable."

Jia Le was so angry that he tried everything to guard against it, but in the end he couldn't guard against the conspiracy of someone with a heart.

"Despicable, shameless..." Ye Chengfeng turned blue with anger, slapped the table and rushed out the door angrily.

Jia Le understood with him, knew what he wanted to do, and hurriedly called for someone: "Second Young Master, stop him quickly, he wants to settle accounts with He Qingdong, so He Qingdong was able to become the deputy head of the imperial dining room so quickly because of the power of Prime Minister Chapter Zhang , we can't afford it."

Ye Chengyun and Xiao Bai rushed out to stop them together. Ye Chengfeng ran very fast and had already rushed to He Qingdong's mansion. When he learned that the other party had gone to the Prime Minister's mansion, he rushed to the Prime Minister Zhang Tingjing's mansion with rage. Ye Chengyun The two finally stopped him in front of the prime minister's door.

Xiao Bai tried hard to persuade him: "He has a prime minister as the backer, you can take revenge secretly, but you can't go to the prime minister's house to make trouble openly like this, do you want to ruin your future career?"

Ye Chengfeng was furious: "I didn't intend to go far on this broken career."

Ye Chengyun and Xiao Bai dragged him back home desperately.

Seeing that he came back safely, Jia Le breathed a sigh of relief.When there was no one at night, he coaxed me: "Don't be so impulsive, what's the use of knocking on the door like this? Offending Mr. Zhang, you will have good fruit to eat. You are young and promising, and you have won the Jinshi again." , when the future is bright, why bother to ruin the future for me."

"Hmph, I don't care about any future." Ye Chengfeng thought of the few days he had left, and was really not interested in any future career.But that bastard ruined Jiale's future, it's really intolerable.

Jia Le took his hand: "Do you know what I am most looking forward to?"

Ye Chengfeng looked at him steadily, with inexplicable emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Whenever I think of Baoqi and brother Xiaoshuang, I am extremely envious, even jealous. Baoqi went south to Pingfan to fight in Yunnan, and brother Xiaoshuang raised money for him behind, and risked being accused of colluding with foreigners." It is dangerous to buy foreign guns for him. It is because of his strong support in the rear that Baoqi can be the first to enter Kunming without worrying about it, and has made great achievements in the world.

Seeing how they get along like this, I am really envious. I also want to be your backing like Brother Xiaoshuang, to help you make achievements. No matter what, I can't hold you back.How can I feel at ease if you mess with Zhang Xiangye because of me and ruin your future? "

Ye Chengfeng gently stroked his head, feeling unbearably sad, he didn't know that the happiness he was holding in his hands would be ruthlessly shattered by the god of death in a short time, and he expected to be able to be with Bao Qi Tingshuang like Bao Qi Ting Shuang He stayed and flew together, which became a great help and backing for his meritorious deeds.How could he have the heart to break his dream?

"I just want to help you become a world-renowned chef, nothing else." Ye Chengfeng thought for a long time before saying, "I'm sick, and it's hard for me to make any achievements. If I can be your help and backing for success , and I am satisfied."

Jia Le thought of his intractable disease, and couldn't help crying. Ye Chengfeng was comforting him, when he heard the porter report that Baoqi, the little prince of Pingnan, sent someone to invite him to the banquet.

"Ah, isn't Baoqi demoted to Changping by the emperor to be the county magistrate? Why is she back?" Ye Chengfeng was overjoyed when he saw the name post, "There is a way, let him plead for you in front of the emperor, you I will definitely be able to return to the Imperial Dining Room as an errand again."

Jia Le also cheered up. Although he wanted to leave after working in the palace for a few years, he definitely didn't want to be kicked out like this. If he wanted to leave, he had to make a name for himself.It wasn't that he was greedy for the prestigious position of the imperial cook, but that he was unwilling to leave without accomplishing anything.

In Pingnan Palace, a few friends gathered together to eat and drink to reminisce about the old days, Baoqi heard about this, she patted her chest and promised to make Jia Le return to the imperial dining room.

The emperor called Baoqi back this time because of the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. The Empress Dowager had been ill for several years, and now her condition has improved a bit. When the Ping Fan was victorious, it was the time when the country was in peace and prosperity. After a while, Baoqi, the only nephew of the queen mother, was recalled to the capital for discussion.

The emperor set a big principle. Although Ping Fan is victorious, Taiwan has not yet been taken back. There are still Rakshasa in the north. In the whole life, and when the Empress Dowager is recovering from illness, it is indispensable to do a lot of things, and it is necessary to do a lot of things and be frugal, which stumps the monarch and his ministers.

Fortunately, Ting Shuang, who is inseparable from Baoqi's happiness, has many ideas, and came up with an idea, saying: "Since we want to be frugal, let's set up a three-day banquet, call a few opera troupes to be happy, and have fewer guests, and just change the furnishings." The Cining Palace is moved, and the garden is only repaired in the Cining Garden, and the gifts from the ministers will be reduced or exempted."

"The queen mother is the mother of a country, if there are fewer guests, it will be shabby." Baoqi disagreed.

"Listen to me." Ting Shuang continued, "For the Queen Mother's birthday, you can invite your ministers and civilians over 60 years old to watch operas and enjoy delicious food together, so as to show the world that the royal family is happy with the people. Isn't it simple and frugal? , and meaningful. It is far better than the royal family’s luxury behind closed doors.”

"That's right." The emperor agreed.He also said: "What kind of guests have been invited, how about the dishes for the banquet?"

Baoqi recalled Ye Chengfeng's entrustment to restore Jiale to its original position, and came up with an idea: "Let all the royal chefs cook a dish, and choose the best among them as the main course."

The emperor thought for a while and had an idea: "Well, let all the imperial chefs show their skills. The head of the imperial dining room is not old and ready to resign from his errand to return to his hometown. This birthday banquet will also enter the imperial dining competition. Whose dishes are better? Who is the head of the imperial dining room."

Bao Qi strikes while the iron is hot: "Since this is the audition, the cooks in the small kitchens of the various palaces should also give them a chance? There are also those who were punished and demoted from the palace two days ago..."

"Is it Jiale?" The emperor also remembered, "I also know that there is a turmoil in the imperial dining room. He may have been tricked last time, but he was too careless. I hope this birthday banquet will elect a manager. Stop these nasty infighting."

Although Baoqi mentioned the matter of Jiale in front of the emperor, the emperor also remembered it, but he didn't have a clear order on how to deal with Jiale, so he asked them to step down.

After leaving the palace, Ting Shuang remembered something, poked Baoqi, and said, "Whoever the emperor says has good dishes, he will be the head of the imperial dining room, but he didn't say what the criteria are for selecting good dishes."

"Presumably the emperor has already made up his mind. You and my foreign ministers should not speculate on the holy will, but think about how to get Jiale back."

Back in Ye Mansion, the two comforted Jia Le, telling him not to worry, take care of his body first, and wait for the opportunity.At the same time, they will think about activities.

Seeing his friends working so hard for him, Jiale didn’t feel any pain in his butt, and he didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore. He thought that even if he couldn’t return to the imperial dining room this time, he would have no regrets. At worst, he would go back to his hometown and start from opening a restaurant, working hard step by step.

It didn't take long for the emperor to order Jia Le to return to the imperial dining room to continue working. Jia Le happily entered the palace without waiting for his injuries to heal. The first step was naturally to thank the emperor.

The tall hall was empty, silent and without human voices, the light of the setting sun slantingly shone on the window lattice with five bats holding the longevity, and there was a dark and unclear pattern printed on the emperor's face, which looked very strange.After a long time, the emperor slowly opened his mouth: "You didn't do a good job last time. You should have been punished severely. I think it's your first offense. It's just a small punishment. You should take care of yourself and don't do anything that makes me unhappy. .”

Jia Le was beating his heart, feeling that he meant something, so he quickly knelt down: "This servant will serve the emperor with all his heart, without any second thoughts."

The emperor turned around, with a weird smile on his lips: "Okay, that's what you said, now there is something I need you to do, can you do it?"

"The emperor please
