Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Chapter 17 Thoughts on Leftovers

For Ping An, if he taught Zhao Can how to make ramen noodles, he should retire.Unexpectedly, Zhao Can found out about Xiu Mu's date and residence somehow, and came looking for him quietly.

It's difficult for him to be a man of gold and jade, and he doesn't know how he tricked the eunuchs outside to get in.Anyway, when Ping An saw him, he was shocked.

"Why are you here?" He lowered his voice and asked like a thief.

Zhao Can frowned and pointed out the problem, "You didn't go today."

Ping An was stunned for a moment before realizing that what he said was that he was taking a rest today, but he didn't go to the rockery to wait for him.He wiped his face, "Didn't I teach you how to make noodles? I have no choice but to study hard."

Zhao Can hit the nail on the head, "I have prepared a lot of meat." This time he simply removed most of the vegetables, and only had the meat delivered.

For Ping An, it is an irresistible temptation to eat meat to improve life every time you rest.Zhao Can clearly pinpointed his weakness and hit him right away.

Although it is a stressful thing to have a relationship with a prince, after all, no one else knows.Ping'an had already seen it, not only did he not want others to know about it, Zhao Can obviously didn't want to either.With him covering it up, he must be safe at least until the Empress Dowager's Thousand Autumn Festival.

Since it is safe, it would be too sorry for your own meat not to eat meat.

Although Ping An is already working hard to climb up and eat better meals.But it is estimated that it will be impossible before the performance of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.During these three months, it would be great if we could have occasional tooth-beating festivals instead of grazing every day.

So Ping'an's life pattern has become to run errands and do things in the Bell and Drum Division on weekdays, and go to Maoxin Hall on holidays.

I don't know how Zhao Can arranged it. Anyway, every time Ping An went there, it was quiet and there was no one there.This also greatly reduces the pressure on Ping An.

Sometimes time moves slowly, but sometimes it goes too fast.When Zhao Can was finally able to pull out ramen noodles of even thickness, and learned how to make several side dishes, and the rehearsal of the bell and drum division was also a complete success, Empress Dowager Qianqiu finally arrived.

Since the night before, Ping An has not slept, and prepares things that may be used with other people. In addition, those who are going to be on stage have to paint their makeup in advance.It's really embarrassing for them, after all, it's very uncomfortable to wear such thick makeup on a hot day.But it was too late to wait until the next day to draw again.If the master arrives and you fail to fix it, it will be bad.

At daybreak, Eunuch Ma came over and handed out rewards to everyone.This is the rule in the palace. Whenever there is a big happy event, the whole palace will give out rewards according to their respective ranks.I heard about Ping An a few days ago and have been looking forward to it.It wasn't until the big red seal fell into his hand that he became happy.It's not in vain to work!

After distributing the rewards, everyone carried their things and followed Eunuch Cao to the stage in the Imperial Garden to prepare.The stage was set up long ago, and this is not under the charge of the bell and drum division, but by the internal officials.

It was only when I arrived at the place that I found out that although I was personally involved in this incident, it was impossible for a little eunuch to secretly find a place to hide or peek at it on TV. —Maybe, but it can't be him.

Probably in order to prevent the nobles from seeing the chaos in the backstage, a special shed was built and the curtains were drawn, so that they could not see anything except the sound that could be heard inside.And they were warned as soon as they arrived here that they must never go out, lest they offend the nobles, ten lives are not enough to atone for their sins.

So he knew that Empress Dowager Qianqiu was very lively, but he didn't know how lively it was.

Moreover, the acting was during the day, so it played a role in adding to the fun, but what was really lively was the banquet at night.So in fact, even if you go out, you can't see anything.After all, the nobles are not so easy to be bumped into. The place where they are must be heavily guarded, and it is impossible for them to enter by mistake.And at this time, everyone is flattering in front of the queen mother, and no one will come out.

Speaking of the queen mother... I don't know if Ah Shun has made noodles, and whether the queen mother is satisfied or not.Alas, this matter is resolved, Ah Shun has the backing of the Queen Mother, and his life in the palace should be much easier in the future.At that time, he will not be so leisurely as he is now, and it is estimated that the two of them will not have any chance to communicate.

It's kind of sad to think about it.

This day, Ping An was busy from morning to night, and he was exhausted. In the end, not to mention the appearance of the nobleman, he didn't even see what the Royal Garden looked like, so he went back to the Bell and Drum Division.Fortunately, everyone is treated the same as him, and there is nothing to complain about.

To Ping An's delight, the Queen Mother rewarded him with a lot of money for his good performance, and of course the other masters had to follow suit.Although most of it was distributed to eunuch Cao, several art officials, and those actors on stage.But after all, they also helped, so they also got a little bit.Especially for Ping An, Eunuch Ma specially gave him a handful of extra money, probably twenty or thirty cash.

In addition, the table noodles that were withdrawn from the banquet were also assigned to a table by Zhong Gusi.

Although there is a bit of psychological pressure to eat other people's leftovers, but fortunately, those dishes basically only use one or two chopsticks, which still look very pleasing to the eye.In addition to so many people sharing, others were holding up chopsticks, Ping An didn't care about being hypocritical, so he quickly joined in and grabbed a lion's head, a steamed crab and half a fish, plus a few pieces of sauced mutton.

The craftsmanship of the royal chefs is really good!Ping'an ate with a full belly and was extremely satisfied.

Ping An thus noticed a very serious problem.

Although all the meals in the palace are provided by the imperial dining room, but!Those who cook for the emperor and those who cook for eunuchs are obviously not in the same class!As for those who cook for the emperor and those who cook for themselves, it is even a few blocks away.

If you want to eat well in the palace, you can't just climb up.Even at the eunuch Ma's level, if he wanted to eat today's dish, he had to wait for a reward from above.And who can eat such a good thing every day?

In addition to the masters, the people who serve the master are said to eat the dishes left by the masters.However, this is still a bit unacceptable for Ping An.One meal or two is fine, eating other people's leftovers every day is too aggrieved, no matter how delicious it is.

At this time, Ping An suddenly remembered a person that Eunuch Ma had told him about the day he entered the palace.Eunuch Wang Lixin was in the palm of the Chief of Rites. At that time, even if Eunuch Ma saw the little eunuch running errands under his command, he would take the initiative to avoid it, which shows how powerful this eunuch Wang is.If there are eunuchs in the palace who can eat dishes similar to the emperor's without eating leftovers, Ping An feels that he is the only one.
