Shangshi female official

Chapter 28 Crystal Three Eats 2
Wang Yifu hurriedly rushed out to chase those eunuchs, the night was rumbling, and she couldn't see her fingers wherever she went, and they had already run away.

She was still careless, always thinking that if she wanted to hurt others, Shen Ci must be the first to slander, but she never thought that apart from Shen Ci, she herself was also the target that others wanted to eradicate.

Soup!Thinking back again, the soup was still on the fire and could not leave people, so I quickly turned back to the stove and took the pot away from the fire.

Seeing her hurrying out and coming back, Shen Ci hurriedly asked what was the matter.

Wang Yifu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "Shen Ci, someone stole my elbow."

Hearing that her ingredients had been stolen, the chicken in Shen Ci's hand fell into the water basin again, and said anxiously: "Then what should I do...it's the middle of the night now, where can I find you an elbow... ...If we do it again tomorrow morning, it's the warm spring time now, and it won't be cold at all..."

Wang Yifu's eyes were burning brightly, and the more it was like this, the more she reminded herself not to panic, instead she persuaded Shen Ci, "Don't worry, let me think about it."

She also has a piece of pork skin, soup jelly can be made, if there is no elbow, use other things.

She ordered a chicken for chopping chicken down, and the chicken legs can be used in vegetables. When she had poultry and livestock, she went to her colleagues to ask for a few shrimps. If she couldn't make crystal knuckles, she made crystal chicken and crystal shrimp.

Thinking so, he begged Shen Ci to watch the fire for a while, and she would be back right away.

Take the ingredients, adjust the taste, divide the clear soup into two parts, one part is used to boil live shrimp and chicken thigh meat, then wash the skin, scald and shred, spread shrimp on the bottom layer, chicken on the middle layer, and shredded pork skin on the top layer. Add green onion and ginger, then pour clear soup and steam until cooked.

After steaming thoroughly, she just waited for it to cool down, and when Wang Yifu was free, she still helped Shen Ci fan the chicken and pour sugar water as planned.

When it was close to noon, Shen Ci was pouring the last sugar water on the glazed chicken, but she saw Qiu Nanxue bursting into the West Hall crying, pointing at Shen Ci's nose and cursing: "What the hell did you put in that lard? "

Wang Yifu stood in front of Shen Ci, and said with a smile: "I said, why is Shen Ci's lard gone? It turns out that you were the thief last night?"

"You! Get out of the way!"

Wang Yifu didn't move, but changed the tone and continued: "You stole other people's oil, and you dare to accuse them aggressively, don't you have any sense of shame?"

"You did it on purpose! You got me to use your oil on purpose, didn't you?"

Wang Yifu pretended to be wronged and said, "We didn't ask you to steal anything."

"The oil smells bitter, so it can't be used at all, you...you just want to harm me!"

"If you don't change your mind, why would you ask for trouble? By the way, there must be pig knuckles in your Buddha jumping over the wall, right?"

"What are the elbows and no elbows? Since you want to prevent me from entering the palace, don't think about it."

Qiu Nanxue reached out to throw Shen Ci's blame, Wang Yifu and Shen Ci stopped her, pushing and shoving while she was anxious, only heard "Stop" resounding through the West Hall.

Nanny Zhou stared at them with a sullen face, and Xu Xinyan followed behind her. She raised her eyes to look at Wang Yifu, nodded her head twice, and folded her hands obediently as a follower.

Mother Zhou saw that they were still so ignorant when they were older, and they had learned the same rules as Bai Xue for a few years, so she scolded even louder, "What are you doing now? Today is the day of the palace assessment, and Qiu Shanggong and Eunuch Pei are coming soon. Now, what do you guys look like messing around here? Is this someone who is going to enter the palace to be a female historian? Why don’t you let it go and do your job?”

When Qiu Nanxue heard her words, she burst into tears, knelt on the ground, pointed at Wang and Chen, and said, "Mother, they hurt me...they hurt me..."

"How did they harm you? Tell me."

"They...they..." Qiu Nanxue was on the verge of speaking, but she couldn't say it. She couldn't say that she stole other people's oil, but the oil was so bitter that it ruined her own food. Now she's here to find fault.

Mother Zhou saw that she couldn't tell the reason for a long time, and then thought that the assessment was about to take place, and it was important to enter the palace for the assessment, so it was inconvenient to get entangled in these things, so she said, "If you can't tell, just do what you should do quickly, don't be in the palace." Disturbing others here."

Qiu Nanxue just cried with tears in her eyes, and Wang Yifu persuaded lightly: "Instead of crying here, it's better to think about how to remedy it. If the craftsmanship is good, it won't be too bad."

Qiu Nanxue heard the second part of her sentence, and the arrogance in her heart rose again, she suddenly stopped crying, rolled up her sleeves and wiped her face vigorously, got up and left angrily.

Seeing such things when she first arrived, Mother Zhou sighed heavily, and then hurried out to arrange the midday assessment.

Xu Xinyan dared to go to Wang Yifu's side when she saw Nanny Zhou left, and asked in a low voice, "I'm not late, am I?"

"It's just right." After finishing speaking, he gave her a thumbs up.

Shen Ci asked curiously: "How do you know she will come now?"

"I guess she tasted the first taste of salty in the morning. At that time, the taste was not right. She should find a way to adjust it, and then taste it after a few more hours. After half of the time, the soup should be rich, and she should know how to make it. It’s not good, as a cook, I should think that it’s the problem of oil.”

Shen Ci asked again: "What exactly is in the material bag you gave me that day?"

"Sophora flavescens, gentian grass, and coptis."

Xu Xinyan pouted, stuck out her tongue, and sighed, "Wow, that sounds so bitter."

"Whoever asks her to steal something is called lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot."

They were whispering here, and everyone around them was nervously cooking their own dishes, Shen Ci was too embarrassed to chat any more, and reminded: "Stop talking, cooking is important."

After Shen Ci reminded, Wang Yifu immediately arranged the seasonings one by one, and after tasting, add the ingredients to make juice.

As soon as noon arrived, the examiners went to the pavilion in the north. The spring was beautiful and the sun was just right.

Qiu Shangshi was sitting in the middle, with Mother Chen on the left of Qiu Shangshi, and Eunuch Pei Lei, the supervisor of Shangshan, on the right.

Nanny Zhou decided the order of the dishes according to everyone’s cooking. Cold dishes were served first, then soup, followed by hot dishes, and finally desserts.

This assessment was an eye-opener. First of all, cold dishes were served, including sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, white fungus stewed with fermented glutinous rice and rock sugar, three kinds of pine flowers, five kinds of cold dishes with phoenix spread its wings, ham and peony flowers, etc.

Mother Zhou asked everyone to bring the food to the north pavilion one by one. After the first few tasted it, the examiners didn't have any special expressions, as if they were used to these things.

Wang Yifu brought her own crystals to eat three times, each piece was cut into the same size, spread out in a circle on the plate, and a bowl was placed in the center of the circle, it was her dipping sauce, for the sake of beauty, a flower was placed in the middle Small radish flowers.
