Gongmen Chunhan

Chapter 2
In a small house with a width of more than 100 meters, the kitchen is on the right side of the door, and there is a rectangular table in the middle, which is covered with all kinds of vegetarian dishes and meat. The two sides are the place for cooking, and there are food washing around it. On the left side of the entrance is the place for eating, and only a few servants were eating when they entered.

It's strange to say that there are only eunuchs serving the emperor, and there are no maids. This made Jiuyue curious for a long time. There are dozens of eunuchs serving the emperor, but there are only three or four who follow him every day. They are all assigned to perform their duties in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The little eunuch who was having dinner saw the eunuch in the ink-blue suit in charge of the desk, and was so frightened that he didn't care to tidy the food around his mouth, so he ran to the side and knelt respectfully, "Slave pays respects to the desk attendant".

A eunuch who seemed to have a relatively high status came over with a flattering smile on his face, "My servant greets the master of the case. I don't know if the master of the case is here, but there is something that needs the help of the slave."

"Father-in-law, you're being polite. Lafayette let me learn etiquette with Long live Lord. From tomorrow, I will serve Long live Lord in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for ten days. I will have to work hard for you, father-in-law." The smiling face nodded.

That beautiful smiling face has attracted many young eunuchs who looked at Jiuyue. This face is good for a eunuch, but if it is for a woman, it must be a disaster for many men.

"Elder-in-law, I'm hungry. I don't know if I can use the food here to make something delicious." The eyebrows were slightly bent, and the red lips were pursed, polite and kind.

"There you have to take charge of the case, and these things are covered by the servant. This eunuch who handles food is a great hand. Just wait to enjoy it with his unique skill in handling the case!" He smiled and waved to the eunuch who was kneeling not far away. , put on airs.

"No need, I like to make food by myself since I was a child. This habit can't be changed for many years. Don't worry about me, just eat!" go.

"Okay, everything is prepared there, if there is anything missing, you can always tell me." Looking at Jiuyue's smiling face, she nodded and bowed.

You old... Hearing these two words made the corners of Jiuyue's mouth twitch, you really are so old!

When he arrived at the kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves, exposing his fair arms, his jade fingers were soaked in water, a burst of coolness spread into his heart, and a burst of comfort. After taking down the pork, he began to wash. He took a basin of water with all his strength and put it on the table.

It’s good to wash the pork. I also cleaned the onion and fish according to the steps. I didn’t expect that the ingredients in the kitchen are complete, and it’s easy to find in September. Throw the pork on the cutting board, pick up the kitchen knife and start chopping. This knife is also very sharp, if not, everything in the palace is easy to use.

The few people who were eating over there saw the skillful technique and posture of the desk manager in the kitchen, which was comparable to that of the imperial chef. They looked at the materials, but they saw such a messy person there, and they were all curious while eating. while watching.

After chopping the pork, I added a lot of seasonings, and then started to put the prepared cold melons, eggplants, peppers, and broccoli, and stuffed the meat stuffing into the cold melons. After a few efforts, it was ready. He found a big basin and put it in it, turned around and used all his breastfeeding strength to bring these cold melons over. He took a few breaths and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Then put the pickled melons into the pot one by one, and after arranging them in a circle, put the lid on the pot, squatted down to watch the fire, the poor rule in this palace is not to use too big open fire, only Boil with a small fire.

The eunuch on the opposite side came over with a smile and said, "in charge of the case, the slave will go down first after eating, if you have anything to do, just come and find the slave."

"Tired." Unconsciously, he put his hands on the table as a posture, and squeezed out a kind smile towards him.

Hearing this kind tone coupled with that posture, he broke into a cold sweat from fright, and nodded his head, "If you're in charge of the case, the servant will not bother you and retreat first."

Watching him go down, Jiuyue turned around with an impatient expression on his face, facing the pot and eating again, looking at the heat with a smile.

At this time, I have to come to eat. Long live Lord is resting, so he can get away to have lunch when he has time. When he stepped into the door, he could smell a fragrance.

He smelled the smell coming from the kitchen, so he quickened his pace. When he came in, he saw many young eunuchs carrying dishes from the kitchen to the dining table, looking at the various dishes on the plates, drooling.

"It can be regarded as waiting for Eunuch Kou. Come and sit down, and dinner is ready." Seeing Kou Liancai's greedy mouth, Jiu Yue suppressed the smile in his heart, arranged his clothes respectfully, walked forward, and smiled with small eyes squint into a line.

"What kind of wind is blowing here, there are such delicious food coming here?" He didn't care about anything, and went to the dinner table across September.

Looking at the dozens of dishes on the table, they are all vegetables, how can they look so delicious, I have never smelled this kind of taste, so I can't wait to pick up the chopsticks on the side and pick up a piece of my favorite Eat chili.

There is a strong aroma of meat in the mouth, and every bite in the mouth is full of the fragrance of pepper and fish, which is simply memorable.

"Everyone, don't just stare blankly, eat!" Standing aside and watching with a smile, it really reached the point that Jiuyue thought in her heart.

Hearing this, he was not stunned, and quickly picked up his chopsticks, fearing that he would run out of food, and everyone looked satisfied and happy, and Jiuyue didn't delay any longer, and sat down and started eating.

Soon there was only one piece of pickled melon left on the table, and Kou Lian hiccupped and stared at the young eunuchs who were staring at him.

It was still September's chopsticks that quickly picked up the pickled melon and threw it into his mouth. He was satisfied for a while, but when he was satisfied, he began to think about what food to prepare for the next few days.

Everyone watched the piece of cold melon fall into Jiuyue's mouth anxiously, feeling resentful and depressed.

"Jiu Zhang An's culinary skills are amazing! Today's vegetable servants have lived for decades and haven't seen them before." A young eunuch began to flatter.

"Isn't it?" The people on the side also echoed.

Afterwards, the little eunuch who ate there also wanted to curry favor with the delicious food and turned around. For the first time, the dining hall was very hot, and soon Kou Liancai also quieted down.

Jiuyue also had a smile on her face, then she got up and walked outside, with a smirk on her face, "Little rabbits like you are a bunch of foodies, fortunately, Ben Gege made the food for you, which is also considered a meritorious deed of your ancestors."

Kou Lian saw the person leaving, so he trotted to follow.

"There is a little eunuch who cooks food in this kitchen. You don't need to bother you to cook the food. If you want to eat, just give orders." Yue is a good person.

"Since I was sensible, I have been making food when I have free time. People outside are not as good at cooking as I am enjoying eating." It can be seen that Kou Lian wants to wait until September to eat, so he followed his meaning.

"That's true, to be honest, Jiuzhangan's culinary skills are better than the imperial chefs in the palace." Looking at no one around, he covered his mouth with his hands, showing a pair of big eyes, and said with a smile.

"Eunuch Kou praised me, I made yours together for dinner." He also smiled back, but his own smile deserved a lot of favor.

"The servant is now thanking the Jiuzhang case, and the human slave of the Jiuzhang case has let go of it from the bottom of his heart." Pressing his heart, he snickered a few times.

The two chatted attentively along the way, and soon Kou Liancai put down the last defense in his heart by Jiuyue's kind nature, and soon began to call him brothers.

When he returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Lord Long Live just woke up, this time he was having lunch, and he followed Kou Liancai to serve him when he entered the hall.

Afraid that the meal was not to his taste, he put down his chopsticks with a bit of boredom, and pulled it down for a while, "Let's take it away!"

"Long Live Lord, you deserve to die, your slave deserves to die!" The royal cook on duty on the ground kowtowed and shouted when he saw that Long Live Master was upset again.

Originally, this dislike was due to something on the brochure, but sure enough, this begging for mercy took all his anger on it, and took the handkerchief aside to wipe his thin lips, "Take it down!" with a bit of elegance but with a cold meaning.

This sentence carries the meaning of punishment, if not, Kou Lian cleverly called out, "Come here!"

The little eunuch who came in understood what to do with Kou Liancai's eyes, and dragged the royal chef on duty who was begging for mercy down to punish him.

Listening to the shouts outside, Jiuyue felt a bit of sympathy in her heart, but otherwise, her heart would have been numb from the training of Lafayette, so she kept her own place and didn't say a word.

Inadvertently, I smelled a smell of food that was not coming from the table. While exploring the smell of food, I felt hungry again, "Kou Lian just went down to pass on the meal."

"Ah!" After seeing the appearance of the Long Live Lord there, he wanted to pass on the meal, he was stunned for a while, and then hurried down.

The eunuch who came in to clean up the meals was also very careful for fear of offending Lord Long Live, so he quickly exited the room after packing up, not daring to be slow for a moment.

The only silence in the room was the sound of the emperor's heavy breathing, and the sound of the cup lid touching the edge of the cup.

"Kou Liancai taught you how to behave." The room was quiet and just looking for something to chat, gently blowing on the tea in the cup, and the lukewarm words fell on the lips.

"Go back to Lord Long Live, Eunuch Kou has taught you all." He lowered his head and replied.

"Ugh!" He responded lightly, and continued to scrape the edge of the cup with the lid.

It was such an atmosphere again, and after a while, the emperor suddenly said, "When you were by Lafayette's side, you served Lafayette's daily life."

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, the slave just returned to the palace the day before yesterday. He used to stay at the Summer Resort to take care of some things for the Lafayette." Jiuyue, but the Lafayette held it in his arms and was big in his arms. His body was always weak. They were all raised in the Chengde Mountain Resort. If it wasn't for the sudden relapse of the old disease and hanging ginseng to support their lives, they wouldn't have tried every means to bring Jiuyue back to the palace, and their lives were saved only a year before returning to the palace. However, her temper has completely changed. In the past, everyone was a lady who didn't take a step forward, but now she has a barbaric temper.

"Oh!" There was a light reply, but he didn't continue to ask, and finally picked up the tea that he had been teasing for a long time and drank it.

The emperor was really weird, asking and answering again, it made people puzzled to watch, Jiuyue didn't make a sound anymore, staring at the floor in front of him and started to be dazed.
