At daybreak, the palace servants in the west kitchen had already started to move.

Cooking is always hard work. You have to get up at least fifteen minutes earlier than other palace servants so that meals can be served on time.

The young palace maids Su Wan and Yu Shu were no exception.

However, the two of them did not go towards the big kitchen, but instead entered a remote small kitchen in the west kitchen, with many sympathetic looks behind them.

It's pitiful that he has to do so much work at such a young age.

But Yu Shu was very happy because she was going to eat the food cooked by Su Wan again!

I always feel that eating delicious food can make me feel good.

When they arrived at the small kitchen, it had already been cleaned up even more. It was obvious that it was the young eunuch Wei Jun who brought people from the Imperial Household Department to clean it up.

Moreover, many commonly used ingredients, rice, flour, oil and other condiments are placed on the food shelf.

Compared to yesterday, today's kitchenette looks more like a kitchen.

Even the charcoal fire for cooking is ready.

Yu Shu would go to the big kitchen to get the other ingredients, and Wei Jun, the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department, would come back to settle the bill, so there was no need to worry about that.

I guess it was after the meal yesterday that Wei Jun brought people to clean up urgently.

When Su Wan walked into the small kitchen, her eyes were full of nostalgia, and she was also excited to be able to cook for herself.

Being able to eat the food you cook yourself is a blessing.

The kitchen helper Yu Shu has already started lighting the stove. She cherishes her job as Su Wan's kitchen helper. Not only can she have delicious breakfast and lunch, but she can also get extra monthly salary. She knows best who has given her this and she will definitely work hard!

Su Wan also rolled up her sleeves, tied on the prepared apron, and started to make today's breakfast.

Breakfast should be simple and not too greasy, otherwise people with poor stomachs will feel uncomfortable all morning.

Su Wan was a frail and sickly person in her previous life, so she was more particular about her diet.

Today's breakfast staple is egg pancake, and the porridge side is egg and tomato dumpling soup. There are fresh mung bean sprouts in the big kitchen today. You can take a handful and stir-fry them with green peppers. It is very refreshing.

Su Wan quickly decided on the recipe and started beating the eggs.

When beating eggs, separate the egg yolk and egg white first, then beat them separately until small bubbles appear on the egg white. Then stop and add appropriate amount of water and salt.

During this process, flour can also be added until the flour is almost twice as much as the eggs, and finally add the chopped green onions prepared by Yu Shu.

At this time, the flour and egg white are completely blended, without any lumps, and it looks very silky.

The last step is to stir in the separated egg yolks.

The omelet made in this way is very soft and different from ordinary omelet.

The egg batter was ready. When the pan was heated up, Su Wan quickly scooped a spoonful of batter into the bottom of the pan and shook the pan slightly to allow the omelet to heat more evenly.

Once the omelet is slightly formed, you can flip it over directly. After turning it over, let it wait for one or two seconds, and the omelet will be cooked.

Su Wan quickly rolled up a beautiful round egg pancake with chopsticks and placed it on a plate. It had an attractive golden color, and an intoxicating aroma of egg, flour, chopped green onions and oil.

It’s enough to make anyone drool so early in the morning.

The stomach that had not eaten food all night would protest here.

I want to eat this egg pancake!

I want to eat it so much!

Yu Shu was almost stunned.

Su Wan's movements were so fast that she felt she could do it too!

But Yu Shu knew that not everyone could do this skillfully. Only Su Wan could do it so smoothly.

While Yu Shu was in a daze, eight egg pancakes had already been made.

Next is the staple food, egg and tomato dumpling soup.

It’s still egg flour, but this time the recipe is completely different from omelette.

Su Wan cut a cross on the top of the tomato and poured boiling water over it, making the skin very easy to peel off.

Remove the skin of the tomatoes and tear them into small pieces.

If you cut it, the juice inside will easily be locked in the tomato pieces, but if you tear it, the veins of the flesh will be directly destroyed, allowing the sour taste of the juice inside to be better released.

Tomatoes were a rare commodity in the palace, so only one was taken out.

This is all for the sake of Deputy Chief Manager Chai.

After the tomatoes are processed, the small casserole on the other side can be placed on the boiler. Put cold water and the shredded tomatoes into the small casserole, and start to cook the tomato soup over low heat.

This is also the essence of egg and tomato dumpling soup.

How can food with tomato soup as the base not be delicious?

Yu Shu next to her thought that Su Wan’s cooking was simply ingenious and she had never seen such food before.

However, with Su Wan's reminder, it was nothing to do right now. She went to the big kitchen to get mung bean sprouts and started cooking soon.

When Deng Shu came back, she was still carrying the offerings to be sent to the Guandi Temple. She took the initiative to say, "I saw that the offerings were ready, so I brought them to you."

"Or I'll go deliver it. It's hard work for you to cook."

Su Wan thought about it, then shook her head and said, "If others see us, it will be troublesome. This job is assigned to me."

Everyone in the palace has their own responsibilities. If she does less, it means Yu Shu has to do more, and she can't accept that.

It is also not easy for other people to move around freely. It would be fine if they were not discovered, but if they were discovered, they would be in big trouble.

As the two of them were talking, the tomato pot was already boiling. Su Wan cracked two eggs and still only took the egg whites, leaving the yolks aside for later use.

Pour the egg white into the flour in batches. Do not add water this time. Let the flour form small lumps. When it is mixed enough,

Beat the dough balls directly into the boiling tomato pot. The dough balls will be cooked instantly in the boiling water pot. Finally, stir in the reserved egg yolks.

This pot of egg, tomato and dumpling soup is ready.

To make it look better, Su Wan added some chopped green onions and green vegetables to garnish the dish, and finally added salt and pepper as seasoning before serving.

Eating a bowl of hot dumpling soup like this in the morning will warm up your whole body.

Moreover, eggs and flour are very nourishing to the stomach.

The final stir-fried mung bean sprouts cannot be cooked over low heat. You must heat the oil and pan over high heat. Then, fry the onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Pour the drained mung bean sprouts directly into the pan and stir-fry over high heat until cooked. Add a little vinegar and a pinch of salt and serve immediately.

Mung bean sprouts should not be fried too old, otherwise the crisp taste will be lost.

In less than half an hour, we had egg and tomato dumpling soup, egg pancakes, and stir-fried bean sprouts.

All is done.

It’s not that Su Wan is lazy, but she knows very well what she should eat in the morning.

Morning is different from noon and evening. You can sit down and have a good meal. Most people don’t have that time. Only such simple and delicious breakfast is liked by more people.

But I might have to make a different meal for lunch today.

After two days of simple meals, it’s time to cook something showy.

Su Wan herself thinks it is simple, but Yu Shu doesn't think so at all.

Wei Jun, the young eunuch who came to get the food, felt that it was not simple.

Not everyone can make such delicious food at such a fast speed!

Wei Jun didn’t know what to say. He also felt that his master was right. With Su Wan’s skills, she would not stay in the west kitchen for too long.

She will definitely be poached and made to cook for the nobles.

So these people have one less meal to eat!

Be sure to take this opportunity to eat a few more bites!

However, Wei Jun did not say much, as he had a lot of things to do in the morning. After thanking him profusely, he hurriedly took the breakfast back to the Imperial Household Department.

Master is still waiting!

After they finished their meal, they had to go to the inner palace to do some work, so they didn't have much time.

As for what Su Wan said, she wanted to share her portion with others, which was not a big deal as the ingredients were not worth much, but it would be even better if she could share it with him!

As soon as Wei Jun left, Su Wan and Yu Shu stayed to have dinner.

Although she had known how good Su Wan's cooking skills were, when she really tasted it, Yu Shu subconsciously let out a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "Your cooking skills are better than my chef. When you leave the palace, why don't you come to my restaurant and be a chef?"

Su Wan smiled: "I thought that after I leave the palace, I would open a small restaurant with my aunt."

This was the first time Su Wan said what she wanted to do in the future.

She wanted to save money and eventually have enough to open a small restaurant, maybe in Anqingfang, outside the palace wall south of the West Kitchen.

At that time, she will continue to make money from Master Wei Jun and his apprentice!

I believe that with my skills, I can definitely support my aunt and the other two.

Yu Shu looked at Su Wan enviously.

It's good to have a skill, but Yu Shu thought about it and said, "The monthly salary of a young palace maid may not be enough. If I become a senior palace maid, I will definitely have enough money to open a restaurant."

Su Wan also knows this.

But this was the palace, and she wasn't going to put herself in danger just to make money.

She will make plans after she has been in the palace for a while longer.

Anyway, I’m very happy to be able to earn extra money now!

Besides, no one has ever said that she can only earn extra money for Master and Apprentice Wei Jun. Su Wan blinked: "Don't worry, even if I'm just a little palace maid, I can do it!"

But before Su Wan finished speaking, she saw Yu Shu had already started eating the omelet.

The soft and delicious omelet, the aroma bursting in your mouth, is incomparable to anything else.

Is this the joy of carbs and fats?

Stir-fried bean sprouts are especially suitable for eating in the morning. They have a refreshing taste and a unique bean aroma, and are topped off with a sweet and sour dumpling soup.

Who doesn’t love food made with tomato puree!

Take a bite of the egg pancake, a bite of stir-fried bean sprouts, and then a sip of the hot dumpling soup.

This is simply a magical day!

Wei Jun and Deputy General Manager Chai expressed the same sentiment at the same time.

This is what a fairy-like life is like!

Think about what you ate in the past. Was that what humans ate?

Deputy Manager Chai couldn't help but said, "Apprentice, eat less. Only one of the four egg pancakes is enough for you."

"Not enough, not enough. Master, I'm still growing. Don't you have a poor appetite this morning? Otherwise, give me more dumpling soup."

The sweet and sour dumpling soup makes you want to drink another sip after taking one.

How does Su Wan cook? It tastes so good.

The master and the disciple enjoyed the fight very much and their appetites were much better than usual.

Just as there was one last egg pancake left, the door was knocked open and the person outside said, "Lao Chai, you can't just eat porridge every day. Look what I got for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the visitor shrugged his nose and asked in shock: "What are you eating behind my back?!"

Wei Jun and Deputy Chief Steward Chai looked at the Chief Steward of the Imperial Household at the same time, and subconsciously protected the last piece of egg pancake, the last half bowl of dumpling soup, and even the bean sprouts.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

Although Su Wan didn't know what happened in the Imperial Household Department, she also didn't know that her extra income would increase again.

She was carrying offerings to Guandi, a bowl of dumpling soup, half an egg pancake, and a small dish of stir-fried bean sprouts, and was walking towards the Guandi Temple.

It was really unfair to you, Master Guan, to let you eat food from the west kitchen in the past.

This time there’s something delicious!

Lord Guandi is also the God of Wealth, so she has to worship him and ask him to bless her to make a fortune!
