my lord, please eat

After bidding farewell to King Yongping, Xing Yihong walked back to Anyao Palace with Gong Xiaoyong.Although King Yongping could not leave the capital at the beginning, he chose a palace built at the farthest location from the palace.The Anyao Palace is next to the palace.So the distance between the two provinces is quite far.

Gong Xiaoyong felt very curious: "My lord, why are you alone? Don't you ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair or something?" Don't say it's a lord in a TV series, it's just a county magistrate who has to work with the two errands. Yao Wang is really special.

Xing Yihong cast a glance at him: "Why, do you want to ride a horse or a sedan chair?"

Gong Xiaoyong quickly shook her head: "No, no, no! The slave just saw that you were too tired to walk, so I just said it so casually."

"Where did you find out that this king was too tired to walk? I think you are tired?" Xing Yihong thought it would be interesting to deliberately tease this little servant.Look, the cheeks are pouting again, and he hasn't noticed it yet!

Gong Xiaoyong is depressed.It's quite a struggle to talk to these powerful people!Why can't good things be easy to say? "Hehe, my slave is not tired. It's not because you are tired from walking. When I was in my hometown, the county magistrate had to sit in a sedan chair when going out. As a prince, you have to go. Isn't this admirable and distressing." I pooh !

After hearing this sentence, Xing Yihong was really in a good mood: "In the future, if I have the opportunity to let you sit a few times, you will know whether it is more comfortable to sit in a sedan chair or to walk."

Gong Xiaoyong slandered: You are standing and talking without back pain, okay?

It's not the first time Gong Xiaoyong has entered Prince Anyao's mansion, but last time he had been "hiding" in the room he had arranged.Although he took a few glances at the Anyao Prince's Mansion when he left, he walked through the back door, and this was the first time he had seen the scenery of the front door.

It has to be said that Anyao Palace is quite impressive.But compared to the palace he had been sweeping for several months, it was not a little bit worse.But what made him feel comfortable was that there were no maids and eunuchs walking around here who each had "connotation" in their eyes, and there were no palace masters who would go crazy anytime and anywhere.The biggest one in the palace is currently treating him well, so the security is very good, but the complexity is very low.

Xing Yihong directly handed him over to Wang Tianfu who came out to welcome him, and asked him to take Gong Xiaoyong to the kitchen right away.After dinner, decide where he will live.After giving this order, he went to the Molin Pavilion in Xiyuan to check the accounts.

Wang Tianfu's brain-supplementing ability has once again played a role.He thought the prince wanted Gong Xiaoyong to sleep at night, so let's not mention how excited he was!Originally, he was very enthusiastic about Gong Xiaoyong, but now he added a new word. "Xiao Yongzi, in this palace from now on, you don't have to worry about someone harming you anymore! The prince, even though he is the emperor's younger brother, is very kind. If it wasn't for the servants doing something wrong, he would never accuse or scold you. .And our lord, don't look at the jokes on the surface, the rumors outside that he hangs around the place of fireworks are all nonsense! The lord is a very dedicated person!"

Gong Xiaoyong nodded while listening.Although he didn't understand at all whether the lord was dedicated or not, whether he was flirtatious or not had anything to do with his own dinner.But he had already regarded Wang Tianfu as some kind of nagging person, so naturally he didn't find it strange.What's more, since they were all "kidnapped" to the palace, it's good for him to live here in peace for the time being.There is wages, a place to eat and live, and temporary security. The most important thing is that Wang An Yao may be able to let himself go in the future and let himself realize his ideals!

"Boss Wang, what does the lord like to eat? Is there anything special that needs attention?" Gong Xiaoyong is more concerned about whether she can make Xing Yihong eat happily and give herself a separate yard than the side news. live.

Wang Tianfu immediately replied: "The prince is very fond of food, but he is not picky. He will eat it whether it is delicious or not. I believe that the prince will appreciate your craftsmanship."

After receiving a completely useless answer, Gong Xiaoyong stopped talking nonsense.Wang Tianfu really missed the point of the chat.

Entering the location of the Wangfu kitchen, the yard is also very large.The layout is not very different from that of the imperial dining room. There are also warehouses and kitchens, but it is at least two-thirds smaller, and there are not so many people coming in and out.

Wang Tianfu introduced Gong Xiaoyong to those people in the kitchen.Only then did Gong Xiaoyong know that there were actually six chefs in charge of cooking in King An Yao's palace!But here is a very fraudulent shift system.In groups of three, do one day and one day off.It seems that only he is on call [-]/[-].Realizing this, Xiao Yongzi suddenly felt that she was at a disadvantage.

The people in Anyao Palace were all carefully selected by Xing Yihong or An Qi.The most basic requirement is that people should be kind and honest.Therefore, Gong Xiaoyong's arrival did not make them feel any sense of crisis or hostility.But seeing that the person sent by Director Wang himself was so kind to the child, they also knew that they might be able to curry favor with him.

I heard that for dinner, the child should cook four dishes and one soup, as well as the staple food.The three cooks on duty today handed over the dinner menu. "Master Gong, which dishes would you choose?"

Hearing this master, Gong Xiaoyong had goose bumps all over his body.You must know that all three of them are over [-] years old.In this dynasty, some of them should be able to be their grandparents.He really felt uncomfortable when he called himself "Master".It's not as good as Xiao Yongzi's ear.The main reason is that he doesn't want these people to feel that they came in through the "back door" and then isolate them. "You three masters, please don't call me that! My name is Gong Xiaoyong. If the three of you don't mind, please call me Xiaoyongzi. The prince wants me to think of a few dishes for him alone, so the dishes on the menu are still yours." Let the three take charge. I'm also afraid that I can't make these excellent ingredients, and it would be a pity to ruin them. I just pick a few common ingredients. I guess the prince just wants to try what new things I can make. .”

Gong Xiaoyong felt that it had been a long, long time since she stood at the stove making dishes seriously.

Since leaving the imperial dining room, the cleaning place can only boil hot water, and you have to plan carefully when you escape from the palace. Where can you feel comfortable here in the palace, you can use whatever materials you want!

However, he said that the use of ordinary ingredients has not changed.It's not because he doesn't make many high-grade ingredients, and he is afraid that he will make a mistake and lose that separate yard.He just felt that the reason why King An Yao was able to take a fancy to him was probably because he wanted to try some ordinary dishes that were not available in the palace.

Hollow meatballs are the first dish he is going to make today.

This dish is very easy to make.Just chop the fat and lean pork belly into a puree, add salt, pepper powder and chicken powder to season the filling, and then cut the solidified cooked lard into small pieces and wrap it in the meat filling.After steaming in the pan, the lard gradually melts, and a hollow is naturally formed in the meatball.In fact, Gong Xiaoyong still thinks that it is better to use meat jelly instead of lard. It is refreshing and can be seasoned when making the skin jelly. When it is melted into the meat filling, the taste may be better.It's a pity that pork skin jelly doesn't seem to have a place on the dining table of the palace, and it's too late to cook it now, so he can only follow the old method.

Braised winter bamboo shoots in oil, minced pork vermicelli and twice-cooked pork are standard side dishes, probably not "rare" dishes in the palace, but he doesn't have the energy to make all four dishes and one soup fresh all at once. .

As for the soup, he made it carefully.Stew a casserole of fresh soup with diced bamboo shoots, diced ham, diced mushrooms, diced celery and chicken legs.Take out the ingredients and chicken legs and only keep the broth, then grind the chicken breast and shrimp into a puree, then make a cone with oil paper, and squeeze the puree into the soup pot evenly.It looks like a pot of noodles.After thickening, decorate with two rapeseed leaves and shredded ham, which is both interesting in shape and delicious in taste.

As for the staple food, Gong Xiaoyong thought of a new trick temporarily.It is to cut off the top of a wax gourd, dig out the inner core, put the washed japonica rice, and then put it into the spring water.Then put the cut winter melon on top, insert it firmly with a bamboo skewer, and then put the "whole" winter melon in the pot to steam.The rice made in this way will definitely have the fragrance of winter melon.And this fragrant rice is paired with these four dishes with strong flavors, and it is accompanied by delicious soup.He believed that Xing Yihong, let alone begging him to cook for him, would be able to eat well even if he begged him to eat.Unless you don't feel out of tune! (--)

Xing Yihong had a very pleasant dinner.

This is definitely not only the approval of Gong Xiaoyong's four dishes, one soup and winter melon rice, but also a strange emotion of "finally taking this little slave as his own".

Wang Tianfu was waiting on the side, seeing the prince eating and savoring the taste, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised while tasting, he knew that the master was in a good mood.Now he is really concerned about where the prince will arrange for Xiao Yongzi to live.If it's serving the bedroom, do I have to have someone take Xiao Yongzi to clean it first?

Fortunately, during the meal, Wang Tianfu sensibly did not speak.Otherwise, Xing Yihong would have to choke to death if he wasn't choked to death by the food.However, after eating and drinking, he still mentioned this very serious question. "Wang Tianfu, let Gong Xiaoyong live in the small courtyard behind Xixiyou Pavilion. You don't need to be too ostentatious about the clothes, but you shouldn't treat him badly. Go. He should have finished eating by now."

Wang Tianfu was dumbfounded: "My lord... Xiyou Pavilion is quite far away from your dormitory, and it's the small courtyard at the back..."

Xing Yihong leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Wang Tianfu: "Then where do you think this king should arrange him?"

Wang Tianfu also answered very directly: "The slave thought that you wanted to take him by your side...to spend the night."

Xing Yihong was glad that he was not drinking tea, otherwise he would really have to spit it out. "Don't you think this king brought him back for this reason?"

"Uh... forgive me, my lord! It's my slave's lack of brains, so please don't blame me, my lord!" Wang Tianfu immediately knelt down and kowtowed when he realized that he was really wrong.

Xing Yihong knew that he would do this, and waved his hand to stop him: "Okay, you should hurry up and arrange a place for Gong Xiaoyong. It's cold, remember to find someone to warm up the stove, and bring two goose down quilts."

After Wang Tianfu took the order, he quickly left the room, and immediately ordered the people outside to clean up the leftover seats.Then he was still thinking about it as he walked.What kind of thoughts does this prince have towards Gong Xiaoyong?If you want to take it into the house, why arrange it so far away?But if he is only used as a small cook, how can he have a separate yard!Although the treatment of all the servants in the palace is good, since the prince moved from the palace to the palace after he became king, the basic necessities of life of all the servants have undergone a new change.But apart from myself as the big manager, there is no slave who lives in a separate courtyard.I have to find someone to light the stove and get a goose down quilt!Of course, guard An can't be counted. He and the prince are brothers and sisters, and they are also the prince's right-hand man.So... In fact, the prince still has ulterior motives for Xiao Yongzi, right?

Xing Yihong, who was caught with ulterior motives, was indeed thinking about his ulterior motives at this time.

He couldn't say for sure what attitude he had towards this little slave.But the only thing that is certain is that I really care about that kid.In fact, if you think about it carefully, if one day you really take Xiao Yongzi into your room, maybe you will gain something else!
