He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

The kitchen was in a state of disrepair by these guards. Lu Yan could already imagine the difficult days these court officials had been having these past two days.

After tidying up the kitchen, it was already time. It was definitely too late to steam the steamed buns. There happened to be meat and vegetables in the kitchen, so Lu Yan decided to make pies for lunch so that they could be eaten easily.

Add the flour to warm water and knead the dough until it becomes fluffy, add oil and knead into a dough. Cover it and let it rest for two quarters of an hour.

Chop the pork into minced meat, prepare a bowl of pepper water, and stir it into the meat three times. Add minced ginger, chopped green onion, salt, soy sauce, crushed spice powder, and finally pour oil to lock in the moisture, stir evenly in one direction, and stir the meat filling vigorously.

After the dough has risen, take it out, arrange it into long strips, roll it into a large sheet, apply oil evenly, roll it up again, and cut it into small pieces. Knead the small dough together, roll it into a round cake, wrap it with meat filling like a bun, place it with the seam facing down, and then roll it into a cake.

Turn on medium heat, grease the pan with oil, and place the pancakes in the pan until cooked. Flip a few more times until both sides of the pie are golden brown and the filling is cooked through.

Because there were too many people, Lu Yan kept making them and asked He Wenjing to bake them for her. She was afraid that these grown men would not have enough to eat, so she made a total of sixty pies. There were eight officials from the Ministry of Industry and five to Prince Lu Sheng each. The guards packed three food baskets with fifty cakes and quickly delivered them to them.

The remaining ten cakes were taken back to the inn for Lu Yan, Wen Jing and He Yue to eat.

When the pie was delivered to the river bank, the officials were shocked. An elderly man burst into tears while eating pancakes: "I'm finally eating what people eat. What kind of life have I been living these past two days!"

Another official ran to the prince to ask for confirmation: "Your Highness, have we finally found a cook specifically for cooking?"

The prince nodded: "Yes, she will be responsible for our three meals a day from now on."

Until they left Jingzhou and returned to Beijing. By then he would be gone, so they wouldn't have to worry about anyone trying to harm them. They could just find another cook to take over.

The Ministry of Industry official felt relieved and ran back happily.

Lu Sheng and the prince also enjoyed their meal. Lu Sheng had never had such a bad meal since Lu Yan came here, let alone the prince. Finally got over it.

Lu Yan, He Wenjing and He Yue shared ten pies. He Yue ate two, Lu Yan ate three, and He Wenjing ate five. Everyone sat back on their chairs after eating and drinking.

Lu Yan said to He Yue: "You can go to the imperial envoy's camp with us in the afternoon and come back together after dinner. We won't deliver food to the inn."

He Yue responded in one breath: "Okay, okay!"

Lu Yan found out that they had been back before midnight and stopped working when it got dark. Lu Yanyou immediately took He Wenjing and He Yue to the residence with a bunch of things.

The meal prepared for the evening was also very simple. These people were tired after a long day of work. Simple and delicious food was the most important thing. Lu Yan decided to make fish ball noodles.

Clean all the fish you bought at noon, remove the fish meat and chop it into fish paste. Add salt, pepper, green onion and ginger water and white wine to remove the fishy smell. Beat it well and form into balls. Boil water and boil the fish balls.

Fish ball noodles are still very easy to make. Cut two pieces of fatty meat and boil out the lard, stir-fry a spoonful of mushroom meat sauce until fragrant, and pour in hot water. After the water boils, add salt, a little sugar, homemade MSG, and pepper to taste. Adjust the soup base and add the noodles. After the water boils, add cold water and continue to cook. When the water boils twice, add the chopped green vegetables, and then add the water. When it boils, pour in the fish balls and the fish ball noodles are ready.

Noodle soup was the easiest to make. Lu Yan directly made two large pots and asked the guards to bring them to the table for them to eat by themselves. They could eat as much as they wanted.

Lu Yan, Wenjing, and He Yue were preparing to eat in the kitchen yard when Lu Sheng ran over.

Lu Sheng sat down next to Lu Yan without any courtesy: "Can I eat with you?"

Lu Yan: "If I say no, will you leave? You are too good to eat."

Lu Sheng stood up again: "Okay, then I'll come over after I'm full."

Lu Yan waved her hand to drive him away, and Lu Sheng really turned around and walked away.

He Yue was stunned: "This, this, this?"

He Wenjing introduced her: "This is the male master of our family, this year's crown prince, and he is now serving in the Hanlin Academy."

He Yue stuttered a little: "The imperial court official..."

Lu Yan was surprised: "Is there any problem?"

He Yue was amazed: "You just instruct him like this? He just listens to you like this?"

Lu Yan smiled: "What is this? If he dares not to listen to me, let him try."

After a while, Lu Sheng came back again. It looked like he had finished grabbing the meal. He walked straight into the kitchen, washed a cucumber and ate it. He gnawed the cucumber and sat next to Lu Yan.

Lu Sheng sighed: "But I've been looking forward to having you here, but you don't know what I ate in the past two days. Meals cooked by people who don't know how to cook are simply a huge waste of food."

Lu Yan was amused: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Lu Sheng nodded: "I'm not kidding you, they just made that thing, even if they give it money, they won't even eat it."

Lu Yan: "If you don't want the money, you will."

"The main reason is that if you don't eat or nothing else, none of our group can cook." Lu Sheng said, "Fortunately you are here."

Lu Yan felt a sense of crisis: "When I get back, I will teach you how to cook. I will train you how I trained Xia Hefeng. I will starve you to death without me following you."

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Yan was doing it for his own good. In his mind, he thought that Junzi's words about being far away from the chef were pure nonsense, so he agreed: "No problem, I can practice as you say."

After the two of them had finished flirting, Lu Yan introduced He Yue to Lu Sheng who was sitting next to him. Lu Sheng looked at He Yue's appearance and was amazed. He and He Lie looked like siblings.
