my lord, please eat

Things will not end because of Jiang Pin's "failure".Even though Yang Qifang fully expressed his intention to protect Gong Xiaoyong this time, but Liang Zi has already tied the knot, and Gong Xiaoyong has the final say if he doesn't want to continue.

Usually in TV dramas and novels, the cunning person must be a person who can fiddle with right and wrong.Jiang Pin is very up-to-date and has not deviated from this traditional law.In other words, he went to Concubine Shu to sow discord.

For an intelligent villain, gossip requires skill.Obviously, Jiang Pin did a good job.He didn't say how Gong Xiaoyong wanted to steal the crab shells that were going to be used to plant flowers for the empress, it was really a big deal for this reason.He also didn't say that Yang Qifang stood up for Gong Xiaoyong this time, and it was the most normal thing for the supervisor to make a ruling.What he told Concubine Shu was that he suspected that Gong Xiaoyong was an eyeliner that Qian Meiren deliberately found from outside the palace and sent to plant in the imperial dining room.The reason was, how could a little eunuch who was sold into the palace because of his family's poverty make Qian Meiren value him and make an exception to replace her family's cook in the imperial competition?

As far as this matter is concerned, few people are willing to believe Gong Xiaoyong's coincidence.Although it was really a coincidence that he was valued by Mu Xiang, and a series of things happened afterwards.But complicated people have complicated ways of thinking, and there are not many people with simple thinking in the harem, so it's no wonder that Jiang Pin said so.In fact, Concubine Shu thought so before.So she had no doubts about what Jiang Pin said.

In fact, every concubine in the front palace and back palace will have some people of her own more or less.It's like Jiang Pin is one of Concubine Shu's confidantes in the imperial dining room.If Qian Meiren wants to arrange Gong Xiaoyong to enter the imperial dining room, there is nothing wrong with it.Although the cook in the imperial dining room is not responsible for the daily diet of the harem concubines, it doesn't matter to help them win the favor of the emperor.But if the emperor passed by, the imperial dining room would definitely send food there.And at this time, if there are people of their own in the kitchen, as long as there is a little reminder, after the dishes are outstanding, Longxin Joy will be of great benefit to them and will not cause any harm.

In the palace, there are several people that Concubine Shu hates the most.The first one is the queen, and the second only to the queen is Qian Meiren.

She is temporarily unable to compete with the queen, but she will not be stingy about the trouble of finding money and beauties.It's like kicking this Gong Xiaoyong out of the imperial dining room!

In fact, Gong Xiaoyong was lying on the ground.But there is no way, who let him have a relationship with Qian Meiren.Even if it is a vegetable chopping, a small-minded woman can't tolerate it.The main Jiang Pin said to Concubine Shu in this way: "Madam, this Gong Xiaoyong is not only good at cooking, but also taught by a famous teacher. He also brought the magical food left by his master with him. It smells like crab. It has the freshness of the sea tide, but it is not made of crab meat. Now Yang Qifang seems to appreciate him quite a lot. If one day he makes a name for himself, wouldn’t it be that beautiful woman with discerning eyes?”

In fact, just the words "knowing people with discerning eyes" already made Concubine Shu decide to find a way to get this Gong Xiaoyong out of the imperial dining room.Even if this Gong Xiaoyong doesn't get in the way of him doing anything, it's not good if he looks like an eyesore.

So Concubine Shu went to "speak the truth" with the emperor again.But her methods are a level higher than Jiang Pin's.

It is still based on Gong Xiaoyong's excellent cooking skills before. After lunch with the emperor, during the chat, Concubine Shu mentioned that she should develop the talents of other people in the imperial dining room. Maybe there are many good cooks People are buried.In this way, it becomes a loss in the palace or something.

Xing Yice has been a foodie since he was a child.I have long felt that there is no new idea for eating and drinking on weekdays.Although the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room will research different new dishes every year.But those people who come back and forth are also those ingredients and those methods.When he was not the prince, he secretly took his fifth brother Xing Yihong, who was five or six years old, out of the palace to look for delicious food.He knows that there are many common ingredients outside the palace that can also make delicious dishes.Although some methods and appearance are really not popular, but the taste is wonderful.Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Xing Yihong is so addicted to food now.But this is enough to show that Xing Yice himself is also a person who likes food.

Recalling that since Xing Yihong's mother and concubine died of illness, the fifth brother stopped studying literature and martial arts and ate, drank and had fun all day long, and his father had no choice but to make himself the prince, and he never tried the novelty and excitement of eating food.He felt that Concubine Shu's proposal was really good, even though he was still guessing what the deeper meaning of this proposal this time was.But the fish soup that the little eunuch made last time was delicious and elegant, and the duck meat was mellow and attractive like steamed or roasted.Although they are all common ingredients, they are really innovative.It is really a good thing to taste such dishes once in a while.

The process of the matter is: Jiang Pin tells the truth, and Concubine Shu takes the opportunity to play.The emperor thought it was good, but Xiaoyong would be unlucky.

When she learned that the emperor was going to hold a culinary competition in the imperial kitchen, Gong Xiaoyong didn't feel that there was any danger waiting for her, on the contrary, she felt very excited.It's not that he wants to win any ranking by himself, on the contrary, he doesn't want to participate at all.This competition is voluntary, although because the top three winners not only get bonuses, but also get promoted, almost everyone who can cook food in the imperial kitchen participated.But Gong Xiaoyong really doesn't want to be a fool anymore.During the first incident with the crab shell, Jiang Pin's face was really frightening.He felt that he might not be completely let go for three to five or seven years.

It's nothing more than modern here.Harem is not a company either.What is waiting for dereliction of duty and problems here is not resignation or compensation, but direct loss of head.The price/performance ratio was too uneconomical, so he decided to be cautious in the future.The most important thing is not to attract anyone's attention.Cutting vegetables is also very good, and you can watch the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs up close in the imperial dining room.He has benefited a lot from these few months alone.And recently, I have started to get in touch with more advanced ingredients. Although there are not many opportunities to "take the sheep by hand", there are still not many!Saving money is his ultimate goal.There is no difficulty in escaping or anything. (Really? ==)

It's a pity that there is a word called "involuntary".Yang Qifang can "cover" Gong Xiaoyong, or he can "betray" him.

When Gong Xiaoyong knew that Yang Qifang had written his name in the list of contestants, he felt like crying.This is too outrageous!

Yang Qifang didn't know what Gong Xiaoyong was thinking, but seeing Gong Xiaoyong's troubled expression, he smiled gently and said, "Don't be afraid. The bowl of shredded chicken porridge you made by yourself yesterday is by no means worse than Yu Chef's. In this competition, we Have faith in you."

Gong Xiaoyong really wanted to kneel down.You are confident that I will die faster, boss! ! "But... what if we lose?"

Yang Qifang smiled and said: "Then we will lose. Although the emperor just had a whim this time, it is still a good opportunity for us eunuchs to have a bright future. Even if we lose, it is better than trying. Even if we can no longer call ourselves men, but You also have to have your own backbone!"

You really are a person with ideals and goals!But I don't! !Gong Xiaoyong secretly wiped the sweat from her brain in her heart. "Actually... I'm afraid..."

Yang Qifang is so clever: "Are you afraid that Jiang Pin and others will trouble you? Don't worry, in the imperial kitchen, I, Yang Qifang, are the chief manager."

The matter was finalized, and Gong Xiaoyong had no hope of appealing.

Back in the space, he cursed at the lamp for 3 minutes.For a while, it was Jiang Pin, the bastard, who cast a psychological shadow on himself.For a while, Concubine Shu is fine, what bad idea do you offer!After a while, the emperor is a man with a soft ear, and the little wife will listen to whatever she says?Of course, he still sensibly did not put Yang Qifang among his "attack" targets.He knew that Yang Qifang was doing it for his own good.

Judging from various signs, Yang Qifang didn't like him at the beginning, probably because he had never complained and worked hard, so he changed his opinion of himself.It is different from Mu Xiang's feeling that he wants to rely on himself for the future.Yang Qifang really appreciates what he can do, so he sincerely wants to create an opportunity for himself to climb up.Even if I don't want it, I can't be so ignorant.

But... it's so hard!It's okay, fight your brother-in-law!The majestic imperial dining room is already the hottest place in the entire harem, so what's the point of letting these people fight each other?Who doesn't want to be on top?Who doesn't want to shine in front of the imperial court?This is obviously a bad idea! ! !Isn't this undermining the stability and unity of the masses! ! !

Gong Xiaoyong's thoughts were correct.The current Imperial Dining Court extends from the Imperial Dining Room to the firewood room where the kitchen is cooked.So people with cooking skills have already signed up for the competition.This is a rare opportunity to get ahead.Even if it was the first time to be compared, at least I have tried it!Otherwise, in Yushanting, a place where qualifications and experience are the most important, it would be even more difficult to stay close to the stove.Nine out of ten people who work in the imperial dining room are good at cooking, especially those who work in the imperial dining room.

Now, except for the royal chefs, almost everyone is a competitor.As a result, the atmosphere in the whole imperial kitchen was tense and weird.

Don't think that the emperor didn't expect this. In fact, he is the emperor, so why would he think about such trivial things.Therefore, no matter how much Gong Xiaoyong complained, he had to find time to prepare for the competition in this weird and terrifying atmosphere, in addition to daily labor, it was really unreasonable!If you work overtime, you have to pay overtime pay, okay? !

In order to make this competition more interesting, it is also to have some fun for the princes, princesses and concubines who are free.Xing Yice generously decided to leave this matter to Xing Yihong to arrange.When he picks out some that can catch his eyes and mouth, he will taste one or two in person.The implication is: I won't eat everything made by anyone, and I won't put everything in my mouth that I don't know if it tastes good.

Xing Yihong was also speechless for a while after receiving this task.Didn't you just "compete" once in the first few months?Now again?Or are you looking for talents among the slaves?

Eh?It seems that last time there was a little eunuch called something, the stewed duck he made was really to my liking, maybe there might be a few of the servants who are good at craftsmanship.And the little servant from last time, will he do something this time?Thinking of this, Mr. Xing Wu was elated.Anyway, as an idle prince, he has a good name. If he hadn't been running various businesses in private, I'm afraid there would really be nothing left but eating, drinking and having fun.

"An Qi, what do you think of the emperor's decision this time?" Xing Yihong asked casually after taking a sip of Junshan's specialty Ninglu tea.

An Qi put down his teacup: "Although there is nothing wrong with the emperor's move, it is also quite childish."

Um!It really is the best Ninglu tea!It smells elegant and tastes delicate.After a little bitterness, the sweetness also fades into the morning dew. Although many people think that the taste of this tea is too weak, it is not as strong as Yangzhou's Jinzhen Yubo tea, and the tea taste is mellow.But he just likes this kind of wonderful feeling that can only be comprehended by careful taste. "Brother Huang originally had a playful nature, otherwise he wouldn't have taken me out of the palace often when he was a child. That's why I said that being an emperor is a bad thing. It's better for this idle prince to be more carefree. It's getting late, you don't need to accompany me, go and rest. You will enter the palace with me tomorrow. Such a fun thing always needs to be discussed carefully."
