After being dressed as cannon fodder, I feed tyrants by cooking skills

Chapter 122 Rewards

The Qiushi Hall is a bit far away, because the rules have been stated in advance, and whoever cooks the meal has to follow.

Concubine Ji is a person who worships the Buddha and has a good heart. If the people below do not do well, she will not be able to punish them; if it suits her wishes, she may be able to get some rewards.

As soon as the movements of the four chefs' hands stopped, the palace servants who came in from the outside began to urge them with their shrill voices.

A group of people walked that way, the palace man was embarrassed, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to them.Jiang Yu followed behind silently, she still had to take care of the finished things in her hands, she was a little anxious just now, and she couldn't find a suitable lid to put on it, but luckily it wasn't too full, it would be bad if it overflowed .

She kicked the gravel in front of her to the side, adding another number to her mouth every time she passed a bluestone slab.

The white clouds in the blue sky are lazy, the wind can't move them, they always stay in one place and don't want to move.Instead, two birds landed on the branch together as if they were talking about something.

Jiang Yu felt that the road was a bit long.She looked a little dazed, and always felt that the palace she passed by was incompatible with these magnificent buildings. The moldy ideas ravaged and climbed up the red wall and no one repaired it. The chains didn't match, or were so broken that they didn't need to be locked at all.

Suddenly, a black shadow on the palace wall fell into her eyes, its black tail was bent upwards, and its front paws were lifted up carelessly.

Xiao Bu was greeting her.This little guy has always been elusive. When I miss it, I can't find it. When she is not free, I meet here again with a person and a cat.

I've been busy with trying dishes these days, so I haven't come to feed it.The black cat swooped down and saw Jiang Yu stepping forward with four paws holding something in his hand.

"Shh." Putting her hand to her mouth, Jiang Yu winked at it, and she shook her head to signal Xiao Bu not to come over.The cat seemed to understand her words, and jumped up the peeling red palace wall again.

"Sister Jiang, what are you looking at?" Jiang Yu's footsteps unconsciously slowed down, and Cheng Ke who was walking behind her felt strange.She took half a step forward, following Jiang Yu's gaze.

Weeds were growing in front of the palace gate, and the gate was slightly opened. Somehow, she looked inside on a hot day and was so cold that she felt like there were eyes staring at her where she couldn't see...

Hastily withdrew his eyes: "Sister Jiang, don't look at it."

It must not be a good place to give people goosebumps in broad daylight.

"That's the cold palace, not a place we should be curious about." Han Xiaoxiao pouted and told them, "In the future, especially when you see this kind of place, just go forward, don't look and don't go in."

Curiosity can kill the cat.It is a good thing to have a desire for knowledge, but if this desire is too strong, it can often lead to bad results.

After passing Lenggong, go forward and turn a corner, and you will arrive at Qiushi Palace.It is indeed a rare and clean place far away from people.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the smell of incense inside immediately rushed into people's noses. The smell was not much weaker than the temples Jiang Yu had visited before. Candlesticks and slightly wrinkled melons and fruits were placed on the altar table in the outer hall.

The ash in the incense altar was very thick, and it was almost full without being poured out. There were still three burnt incense sticks on it, and there were dark red sparks at the bottom, which seemed to be not long after worship.

The palace maid who brought them retreated to the side, and the one who received them was replaced by an older court lady. She stopped the people who wanted to go in: "Girls, wait a minute, the concubine doesn't like crowds, please invite the girls one by one." go in."

The leader went in with a food box, while those outside were still waiting.

Why are there no statues of gods and Buddhas on the altar?Who is this empress worshiping?But the smell of incense in the temple and the incense ash in the incense altar cannot be faked.

"Which god is the empress concubine worshiping?" Cheng Ke was straightforward and asked the question hidden in Jiang Yu's heart.

Hearing this, the maid who was guiding them outside instantly collapsed, and her tone of voice was no longer the same as before. She said coldly: "This is not what the girl should care about."

Gu Lanzhu came out, and it was Jiang Yu's second turn.

"I've seen the empress concubine." This is very polite.The sound of stringing beads came, and Jiang Yu followed the reputation. Concubine Ji was leaning on the cushion, and the bracelet made of sandalwood beads passed through the palm of her hand. With her thumb, the small beads turned down one by one.

She was dressed in plain clothes, and there was another jade hairpin with a simple pattern on her head, her face was not powdered, and her slightly pale lips were not even painted.

Face up to the sky, dress up without makeup.The ears don't hear things outside the window, and they are only immersed in their own world.

"Get up." As the beads rolled, a female voice sounded.Although the person sitting on the seat is a concubine, she is not very old when she hears the voice.

Jiang Yu got up, put the food box on the table, opened it, and took out the contents.A plate of sour plum spareribs, a bowl of sour plum drink, and a small bottle whose color is a bit dark and it is hard to tell what it is.The sweet and sour taste immediately overflowed through the air.

Smelling the smell of sour plums, the concubine leaned forward a little.She looked at the person with her eyes: "Tell me, why did you think of doing this?"

When the palace people went to the Secretary of Food and Beverage before, they only said that they should follow to deliver the food, but they never said that the concubine would ask questions.In this matter, she took a shortcut, but now she was asked, Jiang Yu had no choice but to answer: "Go back to your mother, the weather is hot, I thought maybe your appetite is not very good, so I made these appetizers."

It's quite satisfactory, and there's no intention of being glib and asking for credit.

Concubine Ji raised her hand and ordered the palace servants beside her: "Go and serve it to me to taste."

A plate of spare ribs was taken away and brought to Concubine Ji.The pork ribs were cut into small pieces, and the sugar color hanging on them made people's index fingers move, and a few shriveled green plums were placed in the middle for embellishment.

Who said that those who worship the Buddha must be vegetarians?In the past, there were meat and vegetables in the diet sent to the concubine.Jiang Yu in order not to make mistakes.She also specifically asked Mrs. Han, and she dared to present this dish only after confirming that the imperial concubine could eat meat.

Ribs and green plums, this combination has never been seen before.Concubine Ji's eyebrows twitched. These female officials seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of the Buddha banquet. People who worship Buddha don't escape into Buddhism to practice. As long as they have something in their hearts, it doesn't matter what they eat?

Picking up the porcelain bowl, the bitter taste in her mouth was masked by the sweet and sour taste. It's no wonder that the female officer also put her mind into it. She drank the sour plum in her mouth, and the coldness entered her throat, and the hotness in her heart was also suppressed a bit.

Before finishing drinking, Ji Taipin nodded: "very good, reward."
