Shangshi female official

Chapter 45 Millet Porridge 1
When Yan's mother got the medical case and was arrested, she was in a hurry and hid the medical case in the shrine of the chef ancestor in the imperial kitchen.In the kitchen, no one dared to touch the shrine of the chef ancestor.

The shrine is now in front of him.

Moxi and Juanzi walked to the front and found that there was one person missing. Looking back, they saw Wang Yifu staring at the big house, thinking that she wanted to go in for a stroll, and turned around to persuade: "Don't look at that place, don't say you can't go in now. If you walk up the steps in front of the house, you will also be scolded."

Wang Yifu came back to her senses, smiled and said: "However, I have some thoughts about that place. Those who come out of the inner teaching workshop don't want to serve the Holy Majesty's food and drink."

"It's not that I'm hitting you, give up as soon as possible, and accompany you like a tiger. In the entire imperial dining room, this room has the most people punished. There is a mistake in serving the emperor, and you can't afford to walk around."

"Sister Moxi never thought about going into this room for a try?"

"I thought about it before, but now I think it's better not to go. There are so many intrigues inside. I can't handle the pots and pans. I have to deal with people's hearts. It's too tiring."

"Sister Moxi is right, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

All night, although Wang Yifu was lying down, her mind was full of the shrine. Since she came into the palace, the first thing she did was to take out the shrine and the two medical records from the imperial hospital. An imperial decree drawn up by the first emperor was found in the library of the ancient and modern Tongji.

That imperial decree came out because of the anger of the first emperor, and those who murder the emperor's heir should be sentenced to death.

"Eve, are you asleep?"

Shen Ci beside her had her back to her, she whispered that she was not asleep, Shen Ci turned over, put her hands on her pillow, and sighed softly.

"The first day you entered the imperial dining room, what's wrong?"

"I washed the dishes for a day, cleaned the pan, and did nothing else."

"It's the same for me...I still use big pots and shovels."

"I can still master the spoon in the inner teaching workshop, but I am afraid that the skills will be unfamiliar here."

"Don't worry, just wait."

"Can you two sleep peacefully, you have to get up early tomorrow."

The court lady sleeping beside lost her temper, Wang Yifu raised her index finger and put it on her mouth, signaling Shen Ci to stop talking and go to bed early.

After falling asleep for a while, the maids beside Wang Yifu were all throwing off their quilts, and she realized that it was almost Yin time, and it was time to prepare breakfast for the concubines.

When she got up and went back to the imperial dining room, Juanzi was already boiling water, Wang Yifu hurried up and said, "I'm late, I'm sorry."

While scooping water into the pot, Juanzi smiled and said, "You're not late, but I came early. Sister Moxi is not here. I don't know what to do, and I can't sleep all night."

"Don't worry, it's only three days. She will be back in three days. What are you going to do this morning?"

"Millet porridge, steamed buns, eggs, and two other pickles. You cook the porridge, and I make steamed buns."

There was a big sack of millet on the table, she grabbed the bag with both hands, and took it down in one breath, poured the millet into the basin and washed it first, remembering the porridge made by Mo Xi yesterday, the porridge grains were clear and even, It is very good-looking.

Tao Huan Tao Huan in his hand, suddenly a flash of inspiration, there is a way to save Mo Xi.

"Juanzi, I have an idea."

Juanzi is pressing the dough with both hands. She is thin, and she kneads the dough entirely by pressing the weight on her tiptoes. When she heard that she had an idea, she didn't understand what it meant, so she asked, "What idea?"

Wang Yifu soaked the millet, walked to Juanzi's side, and said with a smile, "The idea of ​​saving Sister Moxi."

Juanzi's eyelashes trembled slightly in the dim yellow light, and she asked in a low voice, "How can I help?"

"Today's meal, let's make it edible, so we don't have to make it so delicate."

"Ah?" Juanzi turned around and became embarrassed, "How can this be done?"

"For example, for this noodle, it's fine to knead it almost. It doesn't have to be as good as Sister Mo Xi's kneading in the past. I can make my own way for this porridge. By the way, we have to make something else for the eunuch."

When the two of them were busy, the eunuch carrying food came. In the morning, there were only two of them, the same as yesterday. Wang Yifu smiled and brought steamed buns and porridge, and said, "You two have worked hard."

The two eunuchs took it with both hands, thanked them, and ate the steamed buns while drinking the porridge.

Taking the opportunity, Wang Yifu chatted next to her, "You two, how long have you been eating here?"

The eunuchs were busy in the morning, swallowing what was in their mouths in twos and twos, and put the porridge cup on the table into the food box when they were done, so they didn't have time to pay attention to Wang Yifu.

While they were putting things down, Wang Yifu began to chatter along with them.

"Sister Moxi is not here today, and was killed by that waiter Yan Xuan. So today's food is not as delicious as what Sister Moxi usually cooks. The masters will definitely blame us, but there is nothing we can do about Sister Moxi's absence. If the masters ask, it would be great if the two little brothers could explain it to us."

Those two didn't answer, they just pretended they didn't hear what she said.

"After all, because Yan Xuan waits on one person, everyone can't eat well, and we don't want to. Besides, Yan Xuan's meals are not under our control, so we can only wrong the masters for a few days."

Seeing that they still didn't respond, Wang Yifu turned around in her mind, then changed the topic and continued.

"I heard that Sister Mo Xi takes good care of us low-level people on weekdays. I didn't expect that because of helping me speak, I won't be able to eat for three days."

The speed of the two eunuchs passing the cup seemed to be slow for a moment, and Wang Yifu sighed loudly again, "Hey, the stable is said to be dark and damp, with air leaks from the four corners. It's okay during the day, and I don't know how Sister Moxi survived at night." , It’s also because we are soft-spoken and weak, and we begged Mr. Shangshi for a long time yesterday, but it was useless.”

She took two steps back, sat down on Mo Xi's usual smoking stool, looked at the sky and murmured: "Sister Mo Xi likes to sit here and smoke for a while when she's done with her work, the stables don't have any smoke... no I know if the masters will take pity on Sister Moxi, and find a way to get her back sooner... This diet can also be improved sooner..."

Wang Yifu's sarcasm was about to turn into blunt speech, eunuchs with experience in the palace should know how to convey this to the ears of the maidservants no matter what.

Today's millet porridge had some small lumps, so she let it clump together. The noodles that come out are not as soft as usual, but they are still edible.

If these two eunuchs were a little grateful to Mo Xi, they should also tell the masters of the Ciqing Palace the reason for their poor diet today, and Yan Xuanshi should also suffer some embarrassment.

Juanzi came to talk to Wang Yifu after seeing those two people walking away, "You say so much, it's better to have one less thing than one more thing, what should I do if I don't talk to you?"
