History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

Fourth Master got up and went out the door, told the maids in the room not to wake Minning, and went out of the yard directly.

Su Peisheng has been waiting in the small side room, and when he saw the fourth master come out, he hurriedly followed.

"Father!"

Seeing him, Fourth Master responded, "Is all the ice sent to Fujin?"

"I sent it. Fujin asked about my master, and learned that my master was resting here at Angege at noon, and brought a set of your clothes here." Su Peisheng said cautiously while accompanying him.

The fourth master said "um", stopped at the front porch, and told him, "Send someone out of the palace to tell An Gege's family later, and tell them that An Gege is not used to the sink in the palace. I will also offer the one Gege used to use when she was at home. After you get it, immediately send it to the House of Internal Affairs to make a few, and then give one to the empress and the master in this courtyard."

Fourth Master asked Minning for the blueprint before, but he was just burying her, and he didn't really ask her for it.He wasn't generous enough to let his woman's handwriting leak out.Hearing that his Gege family is good at making money, the fourth master thought about whether he should be promoted, as if An Gege seemed to have an older brother, holding a soap factory in his hand, and the profit was quite a lot that year, or would he be promoted? The business under his command is also split up to see if he can help improve it. The profit of only 5000 taels a year makes him very dissatisfied.

Thinking that he, a master of Baylor, has attracted many people, but he can only earn so much. An Jia's family is only a small family, earning ten times more than him, which makes the fourth master jealous.With money, he can do more things too.Among other things, the Baylor House, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs is planning to rebuild, can also be built better.

Su Peisheng was dumbfounded, this is not a trick to spoil An Gege, and he got a hand from the House of Internal Affairs, no one would guess that this matter was just a matter of Grandpa wanting to spoil himself.It seems that this An Gege has a great fortune, and he is far more favored than Li Gege who just entered the palace.

When Minning woke up, it was dark and the lights outside were already on.

She rubbed her unconscious arm, closed her eyes again, and soon the memory came back to her mind, and she finally remembered that she had entered the palace and became a princess in the fourth master's backyard.

Instead, Biying came in to help her put on her clothes, and Biying told her in a low voice that Lord Belle had been sitting in her study for half an hour.

When Minning heard this, he rushed to the study as soon as he got dressed.

In the study, fourth master was flipping through the books in the study.

Minning's body froze, she bite the bullet and walked inside.

Fourth Master was flipping through a book with a serious face in his hand, as if he was studying some classic classic, but in fact it was just a book of Minning's words to pass the time.

"Master, auspicious." Minning walked into the study and greeted Fourth Master.

Fourth master sat on the chair without moving, as if he didn't hear it.

Minning bit his lip, maintained this posture, and his face froze, "Grandpa..."

Only then did the fourth master turn his head to look at her, put the story book on the table, and said with a half-smile: "I don't know that An Gege is very talented, but there are many surprises in this study." In this era, although the late emperor and Today's emperors all say that the Manchu family is a family, but in fact they still respect the status of the Manchus. Not many Manchu women can read, let alone Chinese characters.

Fourth master was surprised that An Gege in his backyard could know Chinese characters, and thought he had slipped through the net from somewhere, but he didn't expect that most of her study room was full of story books.

This made fourth master hate iron for being weak, instead of reading some learned books, he spent all day thinking about these scripts, and he couldn't change his temperament.He was naturally happy that An Gege knew Chinese characters, but he found that all he was reading were love story books, and fourth master was extremely disappointed.

It's as if I thought I got a talented woman, but I didn't expect to pretend that it was all love for children.

Although Minning didn't know why Fourth Master was so eccentric, she keenly felt the coldness in his tone.

She froze for a moment, then pretended to be embarrassed, and said, "Master, did you find out? I know it's not good to pretend to be using these books. I originally wanted some historical records and other pretense, but asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs When necessary, only these scriptures were given over there."

After hearing the reason, Fourth Master softened his expression, "Okay, get up."

Minning immediately got up, walked in front of him, sat down next to his arm and said, "Master, I know you are very knowledgeable, so I wanted to find some books to educate my stupid ass."

The fourth master gave her a cold look, "When did you think you are knowledgeable?"

Minning hurriedly hugged his arm, and said flatteringly: "Master, you are knowledgeable in my heart, who in this palace doesn't know that your knowledge is one of the best among the princes?"

A smile flashed in Fourth Master's eyes, but he still reprimanded her with a stern face: "Nonsense, not to mention that there is an Imperial Academy in the imperial court, but that among the master's brothers, King Chengjun is the most knowledgeable."

"Then I don't care, anyway, in my eyes, the master is the best!" Minning put her head on his chest and said shamelessly.

Fourth Master felt that there was something strange in his heart, but this strangeness was quickly ignored by him. He patted her hand and asked her softly, "Are you hungry? I'll let someone serve supper."

Minning heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally coaxed him well.But thinking this way in her heart, she still didn't show any expression on her face. She just touched her belly and said, "It's better for dinner to be simple. Let's have a bowl of vegetarian assorted cold noodles."

It's the first time that fourth master saw someone ordering a bowl of noodles in front of him, and found it very strange. Fortunately, thinking of An Gege's family background, he probably had no experience with some things, so he didn't know what it was like to order a la carte in the palace. It's a very taboo thing.

However, he didn't mention it, and the maids and kitchen people around her would make up for it.

Fourth Master got up and pulled Min Ning out. He was about to turn to the main room as soon as he left the study.

Min Ning looked at the stars in the sky and the stone table in the yard, then grabbed the man, pointed and said, "Master, sit there for a while."

The fourth master took a look, and someone had spread mats on the stone bench. After the high temperature of the day, the stone bench and table are usually still hot at this time, but in order to prevent the master from enjoying the scenery at night, there were people after the sun went down. After pouring well water over and over again, the stone bench is now a bit cold, and it is just right to sit on it with a mat.

Minning didn't know the reason. After the mat was spread, she let go of Fourth Master, ran to sit on it first, and beckoned for Fourth Master to come quickly.

Su Peisheng came out of nowhere, and seeing An Gege waving at him, he gasped, this, this An Gege is really unruly, the master will definitely reprimand her severely!

The next second, he saw Fourth Master sitting next to Minning with a calm expression on his face. Su Peisheng felt that he had been slapped, and then he was heartbroken, Lord, my Lord, why did you fall?

The maid brought sour plum soup and pastries and put them on the stone table. Minning hadn't had any water since she woke up, so she took a sip of the sour plum soup and happened to see Su Peisheng's distorted face. Looking aside, "Master, look, what's wrong with Mr. Su?"

Fourth master glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Leave him alone, it's just a cramp in his face."

"Oh." When Minning heard this, he was no longer interested, and instead called Biying, "Go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of vegetarian assorted cold noodles." Then he looked at Fourth Master, "Master, what do you want to eat? ?”

Fourth Master has no appetite when it's hot, but seeing Minning's attentive appearance, he couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, so he said, "Bring me some cold noodles too."

Min Ning immediately turned to Biying and said, "Then I want two bowls, don't use the bowls for eating, use the bowls for noodle soup, and then have a cold salad with cucumbers, and a cold beef with chili oil, the rest you let Look up from the kitchen."

At this time, chili peppers had been introduced to China, but they were not yet widespread. Minning had a Zhuangzi dedicated to growing chili peppers, and the use of chili peppers instead of dogwood has been recognized by the people in the capital.There are also chili peppers in the palace, just in case some nobles want to try them out of the blue.

Biying was ordered to go down. Fortunately, the chef in the small kitchen hadn't rested yet, and the whole kitchen was still smoking.After arriving at the kitchen, Qiu Yun, the court lady serving Li Gege, came over after a while. Qiu Yun reported to the little eunuch in the kitchen, glanced at Biying, and walked over with her feet.

"Hey, isn't this Bi Ying next to An Gege? Why do you still come to the kitchen to order supper at this hour? Then you have to wait a while, we are raising Er Gege and Er Gege, and you know that children can't tolerate hunger, So I have to trouble my sister to move back for a late night snack, let us come here first."

Biying spat in her heart, didn't she just give birth to two children?Is there still a small number of children who died in this palace?I don't know if I can stand still!

Ge Ge himself was lucky to enter the palace late, otherwise, according to Lord Baylor's indifferent attitude towards Ge Ge, there would be no such thing as Li Ge Ge!

But no matter what, Qiuyun also came to this elder brother's office earlier than her, no matter how much she disliked her arrogance in her heart, she had to follow the rules.

After performing a peace salute, Biying replied calmly: "If the second elder brother and Er Gege are hungry, of course I don't mind my sister joining the team. I'm just afraid that my sister doesn't know that Lord Baylor is in our Gege's room. If it's late at night, if you make Master Baylor wait anxiously, that would be bad."

When Qiuyun heard that the fourth master was in An Gege's yard, she stopped talking immediately, and she said with a sneer: "Then sister will go first, our second elder brother and Er Gege have just had milk, so we are not hungry yet."

Bi Ying curled her lips secretly, don't think she didn't hear the list brought by the little eunuch Nian Qiuyun just now, it was full of hard-to-digest cakes, it was not for children at all.

However, she did not tear off the skin, but said politely: "Then thank you sister for your understanding."

Qiuyun suddenly felt a puff of breath stuck in his chest, and after taking the supper, he went to Li Gege to complain without mentioning it.

Minning took the cold noodles and nodded in satisfaction. After she returned the goods before, the kitchen finally didn't add anything else to her cold noodles. This time it was all plain cold noodles she wanted.

As before, use chicken soup and noodles, cook them in high broth, and then add diced abalone, chicken shreds, duck breast, etc. after cold washing.All of them contain meat, can they still be eaten?

Finally, Minning wrote down the recipe, and the kitchen followed suit.

The noodles are mixed with water, boiled water, soaked in ice-cold spring water, brought out and put on side dishes, seasonings, and sprinkled with crushed peanuts.

It's that simple, and there's no need for the kitchen to ponder whether there are any mysteries in the menu that have not been understood.

The kitchen also understood from then on that An Gege was an outlier in this courtyard, and her dishes were as simple as their name suggests.

Oh, and a little more spicy.

Biying took out the vegetables and noodles from the food box, and soon the small round stone table was full, and the noodles were all prepared. Minning picked up the chopsticks and mixed it coldly, and then poured some from the small cup Chili oil into a bowl.

At this time, there were no sweet peppers cultivated. The peppers are very spicy, and she is not too spicy, so she only put a little.

If you can't eat in summer, eating some chili can increase your appetite.
