The wicked girl

Chapter 318

The dishes on the table did not become simpler because Pei Changge and Yong'an Hou had accidents one after another.

What's more, because Po Chi desperately wanted Ye Kui to eat more and eat better, the meal that was originally eaten by herself was more hearty than usual.The amount of each dish is not much, but the variety is really indispensable.

Just the bowl of soup in her hand has already spent a lot of thought.

At first glance, it looks like at least a bowl of white water and green vegetables.There is not even a trace of oil in the clear soup.Green vegetable leaves, white tofu, clear soup, with only a few plump red goji berries dotted on top.But as long as you taste it, the taste is enough to make you believe how much thought the person who made the soup has spent in it.

Because Mother Jiang was left for dinner by Ye Kui today, and she was allowed to sit at a table again.So when serving the soup, Ye Kui asked Swallow Grass to serve a bowl for Mammy Jiang as well.

Xu was afraid that after telling some secrets in recollection, he would lose his appetite to eat.It was rare for Mother Jiang to lose her previous politeness. She took a spoonful of soup from Ruci and put it into her mouth, but she was so shocked that she couldn't speak the next moment.After a long while, she said with a little emotion: "Chi Po, who is next to Second Miss, is such a capable person."

In fact, the price of the materials used in this cup of white water vegetables is already comparable to a jar of Buddha jumping over the wall.

It's just that the luxury of one is on the bright side, while the other is so low-key that you can only see a few pieces of white tofu and green vegetable leaves.

However, the top quality fresh pork ribs are used here, finely chopped into small pieces of the same size and prepared.Then cut the ham into cubes, slaughter and bled the grass chickens that were carefully raised and transported from Qingsangzhou at the junction of the north and the south, and cut into pieces for preparation.Plus the best live shrimp, good bamboo shoots, fresh clams, mushrooms.And now it's the time to eat crabs, so naturally a fresh hairy crab is added to it, and everything is thrown into the earthen jar together with an indescribable umami taste.

Add enough water at once, but don't put a trace of seasoning in it, not even a grain of salt.Just stew it with a slow fire for nearly two hours before it is considered good.But those things in the soup are useless at all.Use a clean bamboo sieve to fish out all the things, drain and discard, and no debris can be left.

In this way, when it is time to use, put down the tofu and vegetables, and the original oil in the soup will be absorbed by the two, so the soup will be so clear and its taste so unexpected.

This way of eating, even in the eyes of Ye Kui, is extremely extravagant.

But Chi Po was willing to do it, so she didn't stop her.

For the left and right ingredients that have lost their essence and flavor, Po Chi will also distribute them to the people below, which is not too wasteful.

It's just that it was the first time for Mammy Jiang to drink such soup, and she didn't speak for a long time after she finished feeling.After a while, she finally told the story with a sigh.

This story is really a bit suitable for today's dishes.

One of the people in the story she was going to tell was also a very good cook.

At that time, Mother Jiang was actually just a young girl who was not yet in her twenties.At that time, the person she served was Concubine Ying who was the most favored by the late emperor.Concubine Ying was extremely beautiful and had a good temper. Even in the harem of three thousand beauties, she was so unique that one couldn't bear to look away.Of course, the late emperor was no exception, he only had to pamper Concubine Ying to the dragon chair.

But Concubine Ying like this has never been blessed to conceive a dragon fetus.

It is obvious that she has received the most kindness and the most rain and dew, but the other concubines who are not as good as her are all pregnant one by one, but she is the only one who does not have that share.If things go on like this, how can Concubine Ying not be afraid?Women, no matter how beautiful your face is, how soft your figure is.Years are wind and sand, and the speed of erosion of beauty is only a blink of an eye.When she is old, how can she, a childless concubine, conquer the heart of the late emperor?
A batch of old people in the palace went cold, and each of the newcomers was like that delicate flower, blooming in front of her eyes one by one, making her terrified every day.

She began seeking medical advice and desperately wanted a child.Even if it's just a princess!

But such a turnaround never happened.Not only was Concubine Ying not pregnant, but her body was broken.

All day long, there is pain here or there.

In the earliest time, when Nanny Jiang, who was still young at that time, was combing Concubine Ying's hair, she found that Concubine Ying's originally long black hair had become dull, and many hairs would fall out every time she combed.She was terrified, looking at the black hair entangled on the comb, she thought it was because her hand was too strong that she tore off Concubine Ying's hair.But seeing her knelt down with a "plop", Concubine Ying became weird instead. After asking about the matter, Concubine Ying widened her eyes when she saw the tangle of hair wrapped around the comb, and said in disbelief: " How did you lose so much..."

Hair is not ripped out.

Concubine Ying combed her hair with her own hands, strands of black hair were still wrapped around her onion-like fingers.

She was terrified, thinking that she was suffering from some serious illness, coupled with her lack of energy, she was even more frightened, so she invited the imperial doctor.

But the imperial physician only gently suggested that she should cultivate herself more.

Concubine Ying's face turned dark on the spot.

The meaning of the imperial doctor is very clear, but it is because she is too lustful.In addition, everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Ying was desperately trying to have a baby, and the late emperor spent more time in her palace than anyone else, and he didn't even care about the equal distribution of rain and dew anymore. .He was not afraid of offending the Queen and the others, so he just messed around with Concubine Ying every day.

After going back and forth, Concubine Ying has almost become a demon concubine who will bring disaster to the country.

But very soon, Concubine Ying, who was originally beautiful, began to have a sallow face, her hair and eyebrows gradually fell off, and it didn't take long for her to become an ugly woman.The late emperor also didn't come, so the dragon fetus was naturally out of play.

Concubine Ying was anxious and frightened, but instead put her heart on eating.

That's right, Mother Jiang remembers it very clearly.This concubine Ying is very greedy.She loves to eat, and she eats very delicately.

Now turning grief and anger into strength, she ate even more.

Fortunately, although the late Emperor had cooled down on her, he still remembered to visit her once or twice. Those snobs in the palace didn't immediately turn against her, and they treated Concubine Ying respectfully.

The small stove is naturally still on, and the time interval between firing is getting shorter and shorter.

After only a few months, Concubine Ying died.

When Mother Jiang said the words "death", Ji Lingling shivered.

Ye Kui listened for a long time, then put down her chopsticks this time, and asked with some doubts: "You mean, that Concubine Ying was eaten alive?"

She is obedient and Xiang Ji knows the key points, and of course she is not wrong this time.

What Jiang Nanny meant was that Concubine Ying died because of the word "eat".

"Everything in the world is born and restrained by each other, and of course the same is true for vegetables." Mother Jiang said almost emotionally, "She is too greedy for food. She has never been able to conceive a dragon fetus, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from these things."

Hearing this, the doubts in Ye Kui's heart deepened, and she said in a deep voice: "How can the cook in the palace not even know which dishes are suitable? How could it be possible to send them to Concubine Ying?"

She was so skeptical, of course, it was not unreasonable.

If those cooks didn't even know this, how could they hang out in the palace, they would have long since known which mass grave they were buried in.

But Mother Jiang seemed to have expected her to ask such a question, and said calmly, "Second Miss just didn't think about it for a while. Concubine Ying is so arrogant, and there are more than one or two people who are jealous of her? In the palace How can the biggest one be easy to bully? Concubine Ying's actions like that, to put it bluntly, slapped that one in the face? How could she let Concubine Ying go..."

That one, of course, is the late emperor's empress.

Nanny Jiang came out of the palace, and she has almost innate respect for those people, so even at this time, she has always used words like Concubine Ying and that one to refer to them.But Ye Kui didn't care about it, she said directly: "If there is the queen's order in it, then it all makes sense..."

Then Concubine Ying was so favored, if she died due to other reasons, people would naturally suspect that it was the hands and feet of people in the palace.So it's absolutely safe to tamper with Concubine Ying's food, but not directly inject medicine into it.

Even, there is no need to bribe the imperial physician.

The words have already reached this point, what else does Ye Kui not understand?

What Mother Jiang meant was that she suspected that Marquis Yong'an had also fallen for this trick.

but……

Ye Kui was still puzzled and said, "How did Mammy come up with this idea? Old Hou Ye doesn't have the symptoms of Concubine Ying, and Concubine Ying doesn't have the symptoms of vomiting blood, right?"

Jiang Nanny nodded, "So this servant is only suspicious, not sure. Old Hou Ye does not have the symptoms that Concubine Ying had back then, but his appearance always makes servants think of Concubine Ying. When he was weakest, his pulse was somewhat similar to Lord Hou's."

Ye Kui put down her chopsticks, raised her eyebrows and remained silent.

No matter what, as long as there is a chance, she has to check it out.

At this time, swallow grass is used.

When she was in Ye's house, Yancao was very familiar with the maids and women in the mansion, especially the kitchen staff.Now that she's at Pei's house, she hasn't lost any of her abilities.

Ye Kui then called Yancao, gave detailed instructions, and asked her to inquire about the dishes that Master Hou often used.

Yancao is also smart, so of course you can't ask the woman in charge about this kind of thing, if she wants to ask, she must directly ask the person on the stove or the person in charge of the helper.

When the sun was setting and Qin Sang came back, Yancao also found out the matter.

The dishes that Marquis Yong'an loves to eat and the dishes that are always prepared in the kitchen are clearly recorded on the paper.

Although Nanny Jiang knew a little bit, she was not a food doctor. After reading it all over, she felt a little at a loss.

Ye Kui thought of Chi Polai.

Sure enough, after handing the paper to Granny Chi, Granny Chi sneered.
