Needless to say, Su Wan cooked the delicious meal. After the two of them had breakfast, Su Wan simply wrote the menu on the low table.

According to the standard of three meals a day, prepare to write down the meals for five days.

We will set the date for five days tomorrow and then show it secretly to the people in charge.

Yan Pei helped to clean up the dishes, and seeing that Su Wan was not leaving, he naturally couldn't leave.

Just looking at Su Wan's words, his brows furrowed even more.

It would be fine if the handwriting was ugly, but why are there typos?

The main reason is that Su Wan can only write some characters in simple strokes and does not know how to write such complex strokes. She can't even hold the pen properly, so the handwriting is not only crooked, but also has many simple strokes.

But as he watched, Yan Pei's originally frowned brows became serious.

Su Wan's handwriting seems to be wrong, but the structure is still there.

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Wan took a deep breath and crumpled the paper into a ball.

Brush calligraphy is difficult, and traditional Chinese characters are also difficult.

The strokes are too complicated.

Just as she sighed, Su Wan happened to meet Yan Pei's gaze as he looked down at her.

Yan Pei thought about the chicken noodle soup, and thought that if Su Wan couldn't write these things well, she would not leave, so he said, "Why don't you tell me and I'll write it for you."

Su Wan's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

"Yes." Yan Pei pointed at the paper in her hand, "Give it to me."

Su Wan looked at the young man sitting upright and quickly handed him paper and pen.

"On the first day, breakfast was five-grain porridge, stir-fried bean sprouts, and steamed buns with milk flavor."

Mapo tofu, garlic vegetables, fish-flavored eggplant, and tiger skin peppers.

Pork liver with green pepper, Mushu pork slices, minced pork with peas, and Kung Pao chicken.

Su Wan read out the names of these dishes one by one, causing the two people who had just finished their meal to swallow subconsciously.

After all, they are both young, one is twelve and the other is thirteen, so it is normal for them to be hungry after eating.

Fortunately, there were still some replaced tribute fruits that I could take a bite of.

Obviously, they are just ordinary ingredients, but when Su Wan pronounces them, they sound delicious.

Yan Pei laughed, wondering when he started to care so much about food.

Wait for the five-day sumptuous menu to be written down.

Su Wan did not use it directly, but copied it carefully. Although the handwriting was still crooked, it was obvious that after comparing it with the original, the words were at least complete.

Yan Pei watched and helped her correct a few strokes.

After Su Wan wrote a few strokes, Yan Pei secretly sighed that this little palace maid Su Wan learned so quickly.

You can get started quickly.

Of course, people who have gone through nine years of compulsory education must learn quickly!

Both of them were efficient and did not waste too much time before the menu was ready.

Su Wan looked at the list written by Yan Pei and subconsciously wanted to burn it. Seeing this, Yan Pei raised his eyebrows and pretended not to see it.

After finishing the menu, Su Wan looked at Yan Pei again.

Yan Pei took the initiative to say: "You haven't seen me, and I haven't seen you."

sharp!

This boy is so smart!

Su Wan nodded immediately. Of course she believed Yan Pei. The first time they met, he helped her put the tribute fruits away and also taught her how to write. There must be nothing wrong with him.

Besides, even if this person filed a complaint, where could he file it to?

He was just a poor little guy who was beaten by his boss.

Just now, while eating and writing, Su Wan discovered that the bruises around the boy's wrist were even more horrible than yesterday.

That kind of scar is painful to look at.

If this isn’t a poor little thing, then what is it?

Besides, no one would believe it even if Yan Pei told others.

Su Wan was still very relieved. Besides, she felt that she would not make a mistake in choosing the right person!

As soon as Su Wan left the Guandi Temple, Yan Pei's smile gradually cooled, and he helped to clean up the coffee table. Of course, he would not tell anyone.

Since both of them have secrets, this is the best.

When Su Wan returned to the kitchen, the inner palace cook Jiang Hongye had already arrived and was obviously checking the situation in the west kitchen.

Knowing that Su Wan was delivering tribute fruits to Guandi Temple, he didn't say much.

Fortunately, all the soup from the clear noodle soup was drunk up, so no one would notice anything.

Su Wan looked calm and continued to do her own thing. She found an opportunity to burn all the handwriting of Yan Pei in the lunch box, leaving only the one she had written at the bottom.

The calmer she was, the less likely she would be discovered.

Who would have thought that this little palace maid, who was not even as tall as the stove, had so many skills.

After a busy day, the West Kitchen was still the same as before, causing complaints from the palace servants in the five offices of the West Outer Palace, who suffered terribly.

Jiang Hongye, who came to investigate the situation, was obviously much more relaxed. He probably believed that this was the level of the Western Kitchen.

But she still made a private list, recording which palace maid did what.

Obviously, it will be shown to the powerful people. If a powerful cook suddenly appears in the west kitchen, she will be discovered in time.

This move completely eliminated the possibility of hiring a cook from outside to help in the west kitchen, and it also clarified all responsibilities, making it easier for the inner palace to supervise.

The atmosphere in the West Kitchen gradually became strange. Even the slow-witted palace maids in the West Kitchen knew that something was wrong, and rumors had already spread outside.

Fortunately, the people in charge come here frequently, so the situation is still stable.

But even Yan Pei had heard a few words of what was said outside.

The food in the west kitchen was extremely bad. Even with the instructions from the inner palace, the food was still not cooked well.

Therefore, the prime minister and deputy female officials in the west kitchen, and even the left and right chiefs, had to be replaced.

However, the nobles in power were generous and gave the western kitchen three months.

If the Western Kitchen can improve the food within three months and gain praise from the palace servants, the nobles in power will allocate money from their private treasury as a reward, and will continue to give preferential treatment to the Western Kitchen in the future and select outstanding palace servants for the Western Kitchen.

If the situation cannot be improved, the Deputy Prime Minister of the West and the left and right officials in charge will be punished.

If there were only punishment, it would naturally seem harsh, but the rewards ahead were also generous. Many people praised the noble in power for her ability to do things, to employ people, and for her tolerance and generosity, as well as her motherly demeanor. She was worthy of being in charge of the affairs of the palace.

Rumors were spreading everywhere, and the nobleman in power was still polite. These things were spread with details and those who didn't know would think that someone was eavesdropping behind the nobleman's curtain.

When others were worried, Su Wan subconsciously raised her eyebrows when she heard about money being transferred from the private treasury.

It turned out that this was the condition for negotiation, to find a way to get back the money that had been taken from the west kitchen.

And it prevented the other party from reaching out to the Shangshisi.

While she was preparing the menu, the female officials of the Imperial Food Department were also busy.

However, the news at this time should have been spread by the powerful nobles, so that everyone could be mentally prepared for the resignation of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Western Kitchen, and also told everyone that it was not her fault, but that the Deputy Prime Minister of the Western Kitchen was too incompetent and she had given him a chance.

What a vicious mind.

While Su Wan was working silently, she felt that the atmosphere in the west kitchen was becoming increasingly depressing.

The palace maids who were able to stay in the West Kitchen naturally had a good relationship with the West Prime Minister and the left and right officials, and received a lot of care.

It was obvious to the naked eye that they all wanted to change the meals in the western kitchen, but their cooking skills were not good and there were not enough ingredients, so there was nothing they could do.

On Jiang Hongye's last day in the West Kitchen, she secretly laughed at those palace servants in the West Kitchen who were overestimating their own capabilities and trying to struggle.

Fortunately, after this incident, the group of people from the inner palace were completely relieved. They thought that there was no point in giving instructions, so they went back to the inner palace directly.

The last sentence made many palace servants in the West Kitchen cry. Jiang Hongye used to be a member of the Imperial Food Department, and now that she has entered the inner palace, she actually took advantage of others' misfortune.

Su Wan didn't say anything. She had just come back from the Guandi Temple and felt a little uncomfortable.

This morning we had fried eggs and millet porridge. The meal looked simple, but Su Wan seemed to be able to make fried eggs that tasted particularly good.

But when Su Wan was about to go back to the kitchen, Yan Pei looked at her and said, "It will be fine."

This sentence makes Su Wan blush until now!

Why did a boy of only thirteen years old sound so sweet when he comforted her?

Is it because he is good-looking?

Su Wan coughed lightly and immediately threw the idea away.

Jiang Hongye is not here today, does that mean she can cook?

After negotiating the terms with the inner palace, Jiang Hongye left again.

It seems that everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

Su Wan's idea was confirmed by the Director of the Imperial Food Department who rarely came over, and the Deputy Prime Minister Xi, who had not been seen for many days, was also beside her, and the left and right officials followed her.

There was visible fatigue in the eyes of Deputy Prime Minister Xi. Not only did she have to take care of the affairs of the Western Kitchen, but she also had to deal with various interrogations from the inner palace.

Although her remarks mocking the powerful were just an introduction, it was her fault after all.

The chief of the Imperial Food Department glanced around and set his sights on the smallest one, Su Wan. This little palace maid was small, with a pointed chin, fair skin, and lively eyes.

Others who come to the palace would lose a lot of weight, but her complexion is getting better and better.

The chief of the Imperial Food Department led a group of female officials to the side hall, which was a small hall usually used for discussions.

This time, there were five senior palace maids who walked in, and one of them took Su Wan by the hand and walked in.

It would be fine if the female officials and the senior palace maids went to the side hall for a meeting, but why did Su Wan go there too?

Yu Shu, the only one who understood something, stopped Xiaoyue and Chunxiang beside her and shook her head slightly.

Yu Shu stared at the closed door of the side hall, as if she had anticipated something.

In the room, Su Wan had already presented the ten-day menu she had written.

For three meals a day, there is one staple food and two dishes in the morning and evening.

Lunch was richer, with six dishes, one soup and two staple foods, which the palace ladies could take at will.

The sequence is five days, and the dishes are different every day.

If modern people could see this, they would know that Su Wan followed the canteen standards completely. However, such a clear and concise list made the chief of the Imperial Food Department sigh inwardly.

When I was assigning the young palace maids, I actually made a mistake.

Such a capable child, but he actually treated her as if she knew nothing.

The chief of the Imperial Cuisine Department glanced over the menu. It was a five-day rotating menu, with different dishes each day, which meant there were a total of fifty different dishes.

Fifty?

"Can you do everything on the list you made?" the female official spoke slowly, her eyes fixed on Su Wan.

The little Su Wan became the center of this group of female officials and palace maids.

Su Wan nodded: "Yes, in fact, it looks like a lot, but it's just the same few dishes, just change the cooking methods."

Not to mention anything else, a serving of tofu can be cooked in four or five different ways.

It’s actually not that difficult.

Su Wan said it simply, but the list was passed around among Deputy Prime Minister Xi and the left and right officials.

How is this possible?

They can't cook so many dishes.

How did this little palace maid do it?

After all, Su Wan was not a native of Tianxiang, so she naturally didn't understand what fifty dishes meant to many people.

For many chefs and cooks, it is already very good if they can cook a dozen dishes.

Moreover, they didn't recognize some of the names of the dishes on her list.

Even Yan Pei didn't recognize it, he just wrote it down according to Su Wan's request.

Seeing that the female official still had something to ask, the head of the Imperial Food Department raised his hand and looked at Su Wan seriously: "It's too late today. How about you be the head chef starting tomorrow?"

"Besides, it's just tomorrow's breakfast. Breakfast is relatively simple and easy to get started."

The chief of the Imperial Food Department did not give all the day's meals to Su Wan. He just made breakfast for a few days and saw how the situation went.

Although this matter had been decided long ago, the young palace maid Su Wan was asked to try to cook a few meals.

If the task fails, the Chief of the Imperial Kitchen will naturally have a backup plan.

If it works, then this little palace maid will definitely be a big surprise.

Su Wan nodded seriously: "Okay."

She has been preparing for so long, of course she can!

Su Wan felt that promotion and salary increase were already beckoning towards her!

Although it is only breakfast tomorrow, she will definitely try her best to make it well so that everyone who comes to the west kitchen can have a delicious breakfast.

When Su Wan and others came out of the side hall, the sign for tomorrow's breakfast had already been carefully written by Su Wan.

Tomorrow's breakfast in the western kitchen will be glutinous rice meatballs, fried tofu, century egg and lean meat porridge, and a delicious serving of chive dumplings.

Fortunately, Yan Pei taught her how to write these words, and Su Wan had an extraordinary learning ability, so the words on the sign actually looked pretty good.

However, the Chief of the Imperial Food Department and the Right Supervisor of the Western Kitchen paused.

Why does this word look familiar?

However, everyone was soon attracted away by other palace servants in the West Kitchen.

The western kitchen is in an uproar now.

Are the female officials crazy? Let Su Wan be the chef?

Even if it’s just breakfast tomorrow, it won’t do. Although morning meals are not as important as lunch and dinner, they are equally important.

What will she do.

Don’t the five senior palace maids have any objections?

The news that the West Kitchen wanted the young palace maid to be the head chef spread instantly to several places in the West Outer Palace.

Most people looked sad.

What bad idea is the West Kitchen coming up with this time?

Little palace maid? Is that okay?

But when the young eunuch Wei Jun from the Imperial Household Department heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. The guard who was talking to him couldn't help but said, "I'm talking to you about something. Why are you distracted? If you don't do it well, your master will definitely scold you."

"My master won't bear to scold me! He's counting on me to bring him breakfast from the west kitchen tomorrow morning!" Wei Jun was already excited.

The guard next to him had a question mark on his face.

Go to the west kitchen to bring breakfast to his master?

Wei Jun doesn’t want to continue like this, right?

That's the western dining room! The dark cafeteria!

Seeing this, Wei Jun chuckled and said, "What dark canteen? I advise you to go to the west dining room tomorrow, otherwise you will definitely not be able to get any food!"

???

If I believe you, there will be something fishy!
