Shangshi female official

Chapter 129 Squirrel Mandarin Fish 1
Ruan Sishan was the first to go out, facing the two Shangshi adults, he told: "I feel that Panlong cuisine is very good, with fine workmanship and vivid image, and it will definitely meet your empress's expectations when it is brought out at the birthday banquet. Require."

"Okay, Ting Lan, write it down first, does anyone have any other ideas?"

Si Shan stood up to speak, and none of the female officials below dared to speak again, no one dared to offend at this moment, and refute Lord Si Shan's face.

Grandma Chen felt bored facing the room full of wooden figures, and asked loudly again, "Does anyone have any ideas?"

In this group of people who kept their eyes on the ground and said nothing, came out a voice that didn't fit in, "I think it's better to roam the dragon in the Golden Pond."

I thought that under Ruan Sishan's mighty power, no one would dare to speak out, but who knew there was such a person who was not afraid of offending, all eyes fell on the person who made a different voice, and gave way to her.

Wang Yifu smiled lightly, it really was Mo Xie.

Mo Xi simply stepped forward, stood beside Ruan Sishan, and said, "Youlong in the Golden Pond has a higher skill and a better appearance. I think it is better than Panlongcai."

Ruan Sishan was silent and looked helpless under the crowd's surroundings. It was obvious that she was the one who stood at a higher position and represented more people's thoughts.

I thought Ruan Sishan was going to be so weak, but Qiu Shangshi spoke for her, "The Golden Pond Dragon is beautiful, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Palace banquets have a lot of dishes, so give Shangshi I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it if it adds a burden to the bureau."

"Since we want to amaze foreigners, how can we be perfunctory? Moreover, one serving of this show is enough, and it is enough for one person to cook."

"Then tell me, who will do it?"

"Ruan Sishan is the best at cooking fish, isn't he the best candidate?"

Qiu Shangshi glanced at Mo Xi up and down, his brows and eyes gathered together, and he asked in doubt: "You mentioned this topic, but you don't want to cook this dish?"

"The minister is only a small cook, how can he be worthy of such a big responsibility. If the empress knows, I'm afraid I will blame the Shangshi Bureau for its ineffectiveness. It is safer to let the secretary handle such a serious banquet."

"I don't think so." Everyone's eyes turned from Mo Xi to Nanny Chen, and she smiled kindly, "Although Mo Xi is considerate, I know Mo Xi's cooking skills. Since she It is very good for her to cook this dish."

Qiu Shangshi turned around and hurriedly persuaded: "Your decision is not right, Mo Xi is right, if such an important dish is made by Yi Zhang Shan, the empress knows, and she will be blamed."

"The empress is not such a petty and unreasonable person. As long as the dish is made to meet the requirements of the empress, the empress will not be harsh."

"Chen Shangshi, the empress is young after all, and her actions are not safe. Have you forgotten that there is also an empress in this palace who is in charge of the sixth palace?"

There was a large group of people standing in the room, but it suddenly fell into silence. Qiu Shangshi's words made everyone hold their breath, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become the punching bag of some Lord Shangshi if they lost the rules.

Hearing what she said, Chen Shangshi's face was already displeased, and he said: "Since you are an assistant, you should straighten your position and sort out your duties. What is the idea of ​​an assistant in the palace?" Eligible to speak up?"

"Chen Shangshi, the assistant lady is appointed by the emperor, where are you asking the emperor to put you?"

The two Shangshi adults were at war, and the conflicts continued. The others kept their eyes on their noses, their noses on their hearts, kept silent, and tried not to breathe loudly.

Nanny Chen is older and has more seniority, she has no intention of giving in at all, and said straightly: "The empress, the emperor's matchmaker is marrying in, she is the mother of the country, and the assistant empress was originally appointed by the emperor who loves his own wife, and should be assisting the empress. What now? A person who takes the emperor to order the princes, and asks the mother of the country to obey orders?"

"Who does the emperor love, anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly, but Chen Shangshi doesn't understand the mind of the emperor, and insists on opposing the emperor."

"Qiu Shangshi, if the Holy Majesty is dressed in green and yellow, spoiling his concubines and destroying his wives, we, as courtiers, should speak out directly. Is it possible that we will encourage this unhealthy trend?"

"Chen Shangshi doesn't seem to have any self-knowledge. If you dare to mention this to the emperor, the emperor will not want your head. The six departments of the prime minister and others will accept advice on the affairs of the court, and the affairs of the harem must make the emperor feel at ease. Yes, how can the emperor be worried."

"The front and back palaces are one body, there is no distinction between you and me, and we are all officials. Since we are officials, we must first serve the people of the world. The people are more important than the emperor. Blindly only wanting to please the emperor is the way of evil spirits." Not advisable."

Seeing that the noise was getting louder and more impatient, and she didn't look good, Nanny Zhou hurriedly stood up to smooth things over, "The two Lord Shangshi each have their own reasons, and they are both for the good of the emperor. Since they are both for the sake of the royal family, we can't talk to each other on our own." I quarreled myself."

Nanny Zhou picked up the porcelain pot and poured water for the two of them, first to Nanny Chen, then to Qiu Shangshi. Although the two were unhappy, they reluctantly took the glass of water and drank it. up.

"In my opinion, it's better for both of you to cook the same dish. Since the birthday banquet is handed over to the empress, the empress decides who will cook the Golden Pond Dragon. It's just that when the empress decides, we don't say who it is. What you make is decided by the empress only based on the taste. This also pays attention to fairness, what do you two adults think?"

Mother Chen asked coldly, "What do you think Qiu Shangshi thinks?"

"If you choose blindly based on strength, it is naturally advisable."

Nanny Zhou smiled and said, "Then I will tell the empress today, how about choosing someone in three days?"

Qiu Shangshi asked: "Let's decide first, what kind of food?"

Chen Shangshi said: "Since we want to make a golden pond swimming dragon, of course we want to make fish."

Nanny Zhou lowered her eyes and thought carefully, and when she had a flash of inspiration, she asked, "How about squirrel mandarin fish? This dish has many specialties, and some of its recipes are similar to those of Golden Pond Youlong."

Qiu Shangshi stood aside, so proud that he didn't even look at Nanny Zhou, he just said: "Okay, this is the dish."

"Then it's settled like this. For lunch three days later, please invite Ruan Sishan and Mo Xizhangshan to make a dish of squirrel mandarin fish for the empress to taste. At that time, the two of you will go to Kunning Palace with me and listen to the empress. decide."

Both Ruan Sishan and Moxie bowed to the adults of Shangshi, and on the day of the birthday of the Shangshi Bureau, the congratulatory dishes for the Shangshi Bureau were decided by the squirrel and mandarin fish to determine who would make it.

In the morning three days later, Wang Yifu was lifting the lid of the pickling vat to see what was going on inside. She tore a small piece of spicy pickled cabbage and tasted it. It was still very salty and not heavy enough, but it should be enough for foreign history. .

She cut some with scissors and put them in a bowl, planning to omit the salt in the chicken soup at noon, and let Shen Ci have a taste of this exotic taste.

As soon as the lid was put on here, the female official next to the empress came to invite her, she hurriedly washed up before going to see her, the female officials of Bureau Six in the room were queuing up and waiting for the empress to speak.
