Happy Little Scholar

"I'm going to listen to my husband's lecture first. I'll be back in an hour. Don't be lazy. When I come over, you'll see that the hot pot is ready."

After Princess Shouning finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry. Several eunuchs and maidens chased after her with pale faces. Li Yi sat on a stone bench in the courtyard with an unsightly expression on his face.

Anyone who has a good dream disturbed and comes here early in the morning just to cook will not be in a good mood.

The eunuch reminded from the side: "County Li, this is your personal order. You must not neglect the princess."

"Okay, okay, I got it, go down and do your own business." Li Yi waved his hand impatiently and said.

It's still early, and I have a full hour to find a place to catch up on some sleep. As for cooking, we'll talk about it in an hour.

"It is a slave's duty to stay with Mr. Li." The eunuch said with a smile.

This guy's voice is high-pitched and thin, neither male nor female. It sounds strangely uncomfortable, and his good smile has a sinister flavor. No wonder most eunuchs in literary and artistic works are not good people. With such good conditions, It would be a shame not to be the bad guy.

"Then take me out for a walk." Li Yi didn't plan to catch up on his sleep. He fell asleep in the sedan just now and didn't even see what the palace looked like. If he didn't take a day trip to the palace, he would be sorry for being up like this. morning.

The eunuch said with a dead smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, you can't go anywhere except here."

The palace is not a vegetable market. Anyone can wander around casually. Without a badge to enter the palace, he was arrested by the guards before he took two steps.

Okay, my sweet dream was disturbed. Now I don't even have personal freedom. My stomach is empty. I guess the old emperor didn't want to take care of him. The impression in Li Yi's heart suddenly became negative.

He stood up from the stone bench and strode into a room filled with scent.

The eunuch didn't follow him, knowing that the county man was already very dissatisfied with him, so he didn't dare to cause trouble again.

He has been in the palace for more than ten years, and this is the first time that his Majesty has used a viscount as a cook.

Thunder, rain, and dew are all gifts from God. Why didn't your Majesty find someone else, but chose this newly ennobled county magistrate? This is not punishment, but a grace.

Li Yi didn't think it was a grace to be a cook for others. He was willing to cook for his family. If being forced by others could be considered a grace, whoever loves it would want it.

Finding something to cushion his stomach is what he should do most now.

There were many buttoned dishes on the table in the middle of the room, and the rich fragrance wafted out from there.

"Sir, please don't move the things here. Don't move." When Li Yi was about to open one to take a look, a chubby man ran over and said with a groan.

"Who are you?" Li Yi glanced at him and asked.

"Go back to your lordship, I will be in charge of the food bureau." The man said with a smile on his face.

The chief chef of the Shangshi Bureau, also the chef of the Royal Hotel, is no wonder he is so fat. It seems that he must have made a lot of money over the years.

"Sir, don't touch this. This is the osmanthus cake that Concubine Yan wants."

Speaking of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Li Yi felt thirsty. It had been a long time since he had the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Wan Ruoqing. He missed it very much...

Seeing the lord's hand reaching down, his heart skipped a beat and he said, "Sir, you can't move it, and you can't even move this one. This is for the imperial concubine and will be sent over soon. "

Zhang Tan had a cold sweat on his face. If the imperial concubine's time was delayed, he wouldn't be able to withstand the chop even if he had ten heads.

Concubine Yan couldn't afford to offend her, and neither could the concubine. Li Yi felt upset, looked at his palms and asked, "If you have anything here that I don't want, please bring it to me."

Zhangtan smiled bitterly and said, "No."

The Shangshi Bureau is responsible for the meals in the palace, and only the empresses, princesses and princes can enjoy these privileges. He is just a handbag. Without His Majesty's will, how can he dare to let people eat here?

The above just said that Princess Shouning's meals were replaced by someone, allowing them to do things cheaply, but no one told them what the cheap method was. He was just a little bastard, and no one could afford to offend him------This Are you going to let people go through life?

Seeing the lord extend his hand to the next one, Zhang Tan hurriedly said: "This is Princess Yongle's soup. The lord must not do it."

"Princess Yongle's?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and finally met someone he could afford. He quickly opened the lid, took a taste with a spoon, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It tastes good, that's it, you guys." Just make another one for the princess."

Plop!

My palms and legs went limp and fell to the ground. This kind of soup needs to be simmered for at least two hours. How can I make it now?

Seeing Zhang Shan's frightened look, Li Yi comforted him: "Don't worry, it's up to me to talk to Her Royal Highness, it's none of your business."

As expected of an imperial chef, I am afraid he can't keep up with me in making soup. Li Yi was already hungry, so he quickly gulped down a small bowl of soup.

"Han Zhangshan, are the princess's Tremella Fungus and Lotus Seed Soup ready?" A clear voice sounded, and a maid in palace attire walked in from the door.

"Okay." Li Yi wiped his mouth and replied, pointing to the soup that was more than half left.

"You, you..." The maid saw a small bowl and spoon with traces of residue next to it, and her eyes widened immediately, and she said angrily: "You are so bold!"

The little maid's silver teeth were about to break. Her Royal Highness Princess had the habit of drinking a bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup every morning after practicing martial arts. This guy who came out of nowhere was so bold that he even dared to snatch the princess' soup!

"It's just a bowl of soup, so what? Your princess used to eat at my place a lot, just think of it as a favor to repay the bowl of fried rice." Li Yi said nonchalantly.

A prince, a princess, two royal nobles, when they were in Qing'an Prefecture, they were always frequent customers of Ruyifang. Not only did they not take care of the business, but they were always treated with good wine and delicious food. They ate and wiped their mouths and left. It was just a bowl of lotus seed soup, and Her Royal Highness Princess was not so stingy.

"You, you wait!" The maid glared at Li Yi fiercely and left angrily.

Zhang Tan got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and prepared to go about his own business.

He had figured out that this was a matter between the Lord and the Princess, and it was better for him, a small Zhang Tan, not to interfere.

Ignoring the little palace maid who ran away, Li Yi picked up the spoon and served himself a bowl. Although the Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup tasted good, the bowls in the palace were too small, and after one bowl, it couldn't even fill the bottom of his stomach...
