The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 151
As soon as Taichu Mountain was empty, Xiao Yunchu also had a lot of leisure, because those quasi-alchemists had all left.

Regardless of whether they can successfully become alchemists in the future, and then focus on alchemy as their main business, or choose dual cultivation, before they really become alchemists, no one can be special. Grass, this can be regarded as a kind of experience for them.

The only one left was Wei Qing. He was both the head of the hidden guards and Feng Yunxiu's right-hand man.

Wei Qing: It is difficult to be a subordinate, and it is even more difficult to be a subordinate of a master who likes to be more and more lazy!
After winter, the whole Luoan City seems to be much quieter than usual. Although people wearing thick cotton coats can still be seen on the street from time to time, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even if the warmth is done well, most people don’t like it. She often goes out, Xiao Yunchu is not afraid of the cold as a monk in the foundation building period, she can still keep her body warm when she goes out wearing single clothes, but as a human being, she naturally likes a warm and comfortable environment, and she is not willing to go out when she can stay at home in winter.

Most of the time every day is spent practicing, and occasionally being dragged by Feng Yunxiu to the study to accompany him on business, just looking at it is too boring, so I just half-pushed and looked at the account book of the palace that he had mentioned to her long ago, and Lu Jiu From time to time, the accounts of Wanbaolou will be sent over, as well as the treasure list sent by others.

Now Wanbaolou not only regularly auctions some of the things she picked out from the space, but also accepts valuable things consigned by others, and the auctioneer will set the price. After the auction items accumulate to a suitable amount, an additional small auction will be held , The time of the small auction is uncertain, it all depends on the temporary notice, usually one to three days in advance, because most of the prices are not particularly high, and there is no need to worry that the notice is too late to raise money.

The ones that are particularly valuable are decided by Lu Jiu, the little shopkeeper, whether to mention them in the regular auctions.

So, after counting, even though Wanbao Building has only been open for three months, including special auctions, there have been four large-scale auctions, but in fact, there have been no fewer than ten small auctions, but they mainly collect money for small auctions. The commission is not a high benefit, it is purely to increase popularity and popularity.

After three months of fermentation, today's Wanbao Building is not the original Wanbao Building. There are local people who come and go to participate in the auction, and people from other places continue to spread the news to other places. Just last month at the special auction, according to Lu Jiu, people from other countries had already haunted it, so one can imagine the high popularity of Wanbaolou.

A few days later, it happened to be another regular auction, and Xiao Yunchu thought of a few new gadgets that hadn't been brought out before and filled them in the auction list.

After she finished reading all the accounts of the palace, Feng Yunxiu still had a lot of official business to deal with. They were all official letters from Yanzhou Prefecture or Hengzhou Prefecture. It was getting late, and it suddenly occurred to me that since I came to the palace, I seem to have never cooked in person.

It is said that all the chefs in the palace were brought back from the capital when Feng Yunxiu was entrusted with them, and there are also a few famous chefs who were invited from the south of the Yangtze River. , I no longer do it myself.

Today, it was a whim, so please take a picture of Feng Yunxiu who is concentrating on reading the official letter next to him, "How about I cook for you and Xiaochen Xiaoxi tonight?"

Feng Yunxiu raised his head in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to do it yourself?"

"I just want to eat, and I'm idle anyway." Cultivation is important, but they don't have any imminent crisis pressing on their heads at the moment, and it's not a problem to combine work and rest occasionally to relax.

Feng Yunxiu said with a smile: "Xiao Chu is willing to wash my hands and make soup for me, of course I would not be more happy. I believe that the food you cook in our house always tastes better than other cooks in the house."

Xiao Yunchu was very down-to-earth, "My skills are not as good as the famous chefs in the palace, but the novelty is the most important thing. Keep busy. I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."

"Then I'll just wait and see." Feng Yunxiu stole some incense before she left, and then let her go with a smile.

There is also a small kitchen in the main courtyard, but it is usually the cook in the main courtyard who cooks pastries for Zichen Zixi. They occasionally have supper and the like. If you need some special kitchen utensils, you have to go to the big kitchen and ask the chef of the palace if they can find a way, so Xiao Yunchu called a maid to lead her straight to the big kitchen.

As the evening approached, the big kitchen was naturally already busy. Some chefs prepared meals for several masters, and the second chef used big pots to prepare big pot meals for hundreds of people in the palace. Some of the palace's status were relatively high. , People with a little right to speak, such as the old housekeeper, stewards, servants serving in the main courtyard, captain of the guard, etc., also prepare some extra small stoves.

In short, division of labor and cooperation, each perform their own duties, busy busy but not disorganized.

However, the appearance of Xiao Yunchu, the master, brought quite a commotion to the big kitchen. One of them, Chef Wu, who was in charge of the big kitchen, hurriedly handed over the work in hand to another person, and after wiping his hands, he felt a little He walked over awkwardly to see her, and then tentatively asked her why she came.

Xiao Yunchu saw that there was an empty stove in the corner of the huge kitchen, so he pointed there and said, "I want to make some fresh food for the prince and Xiaochen Xiaoxi. The small kitchen is not equipped enough, so come here Is it convenient to borrow one of your stoves?"

"Of course! You are serious." The chef was a little surprised, but still respectfully pointed to all kinds of meat placed around. The latter is green vegetables, as well as pots and pans, knives, forks, rolling pins and other tools: " You can just take whatever you want, do you need a few people to help you?"

Xiao Yunchu thought for a while, "If you can find manpower, lend me two people to help me chop a vegetable and light the fire." Then he pointed to the little maid who had just given her the way, "Come here and help me too." Let me wash the dishes."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid answered crisply, with a bright smile on her lovely face, she rolled up her sleeves and went to the side to clean her hands, ready to help.

Chef Wu just called two helpers to help chop the vegetables, and asked her what ingredients she needed, and let them prepare them and send them to the stove.

After Xiao Yunchu made an inventory, he asked if there was anything similar to an oven, and it turned out that there really was one!It is said that the oven was passed down from the Dongsheng Kingdom. In fact, it is another name for the oven in the early days. The one made of bricks is definitely not as good as the modern and convenient oven, but the basic functions are no problem.

After asking clearly how to use it and confirming that there is no problem, he waved his hand to Chef Wu, "I see that the kitchen is quite busy, are you the master chef? You don't need to wait here, I can handle it by myself." After speaking, he directly started Get busy.

Chef Wu stood beside him but did not leave in a hurry, but looked at Xiao Yunchu's actions curiously and thoughtfully.
