Chapter 21



From the West Kitchen to the south, the Imperial Household Department and the Shangbao Department are not far away.

But most palace maids basically never set foot here, especially those in the Shangbaojian, who basically never go there.

The reason is self-evident.

As mentioned before, the officials and eunuchs in the Shangbaojian basically all had official positions granted by their ancestors in Mengyin, so their family backgrounds were rich and they could naturally buy their daily meals.

So when several palace maids from the Shangbaojian came to the West Kitchen, they felt a little unfamiliar.

They haven't been here for a long, long time.

But this time is an exception.

The breakfast brought by the palace servant in the west kitchen was so delicious.

They even shared a dough stick.

I don't know how that thing was made, it's very crispy.

The taste is so delicious that you can't help but take another bite.

But the maid in the western kitchen actually said, "It's a pity that it took a while to take it out. It's not as delicious as it is when it's just out of the pot."

ah?

Isn’t this delicious enough?

How is that possible.

So these palace maids in charge of the Imperial Treasures looked at each other and immediately went to the west kitchen.

There was not a trace of his usual arrogance.

But on the way he met the imperial palace servant who was in a hurry to the west kitchen, and he felt a little embarrassed.

On weekdays they always laughed at the imperial palace guards for being poor and having to eat in the cafeteria.

I didn't expect you to come here today. It's really embarrassing.

But no one around laughed at them.

As long as I go to the western kitchen, the only thing I see is soy milk and fried dough sticks. Do other people have anything to do with me?

Seeing people coming over one after another attracted by the smell of food, the palace maids in the west kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.

No need to worry about not being able to finish the fried dough sticks I made today!

But what should I do if I still feel a little regretful?

I thought there would be some left and they could keep them as snacks.

Su Wan made a note in her little notebook: Breakfast the next day, a success!

Just now Yan Pei also said that he likes this kind of food very much.

How can I not like it?

This is soy milk and fried dough sticks, it tastes delicious no matter how you eat it.

The Left Handheld watched and nodded slightly. No wonder the Right Handheld Aunt Feng Ping praised Su Wan in private whenever she had nothing to do. If she wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Su Wan and could only talk about it in private, Su Wan would probably become famous in the Shangshi Division.

But the entire western kitchen will remember this contribution.

Especially Deputy Prime Minister Xi.

Deputy Prime Minister Xi is still in the Shangshisi office, copying the palace rules as punishment, so he cannot come.

Otherwise, how can we say that the people in power are vicious and deliberately use such things to trip up Deputy Prime Minister Xi.

It is to make the West Kitchen leaderless.

But she, the left-hand man in charge, and Feng Ping, the right-hand man, will guard this place tightly, letting Su Wan just focus on cooking and not worry about anything else.

Su Wan vaguely discovered this.

The mess outside really has nothing to do with her.

All she has to do is cook the meals, that's enough!

As long as these three months pass.

She will be able to gain a firm foothold in the west kitchen and be a good palace maid.

Su Wan has never had high ambitions, and this kind of life is enough for her.

Su Wan was answering questions from Yu Shu and others about making breakfast when a dispute suddenly broke out in the cafeteria outside the big kitchen.

"This is mine."

"But I got it first."

"You can't be unreasonable, right?"

"Who is being unreasonable?"

Hearing these words, it sounded like the standard tone of a quarrel.

Su Wan looked outside and saw two little eunuchs fighting over the same fried dough stick.

This is the last fried dough stick of the day.

The two of them argued until their faces turned red, and neither of them was willing to give up.

The maid in the western kitchen who was placing the food nearby said, "Don't fight over it. How about each of you take half?"

"no!"

The two young guards spoke at the same time.

In the end, the people around them couldn't stand it anymore and separated the two, but everyone's eyes were still fixed on the last fried dough stick.

They almost got into a fight over a fried dough stick?

Su Wan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but said, "It's just a fried dough stick, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"How could it be possible!"

This would be heard by a palace servant passing by, who would immediately retort: ​​"Do you know how delicious this fried dough stick is?"

The palace maid didn't recognize Su Wan and thought she had just come over. She touched her round belly and introduced herself: "If it wasn't delicious, how could I eat so much?"

Su Wan subconsciously wanted to laugh, but she didn't expect someone else to reply: "That's right, I have eaten all the delicious food in the streets and alleys of Bianjing, but this is the first time I have seen anything like this."

"Why did the Western Kitchen suddenly change its nature? The change is so great that it is unbelievable!"

"Never mind, I'll be back at noon anyway!"

"No, I will come here every day from now on!"

After saying this, Su Wan subconsciously looked at him and suddenly wanted to explain.

She doesn't cook at noon.

But before she could say anything, the palace servant actually slipped over and tried to take the opportunity to snatch the last fried dough stick.

They even used tactics to grab the fried dough sticks!

The palace servants in the west kitchen watched this and felt deeply moved.

They have been in the palace for several years and have never seen such a scene before. But seeing other people enjoying the food here, they seem to feel a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

This is the joy of making food?

The breakfast in the western kitchen the next day was naturally another great success.

The people in the various departments of the West Outer Palace were still skeptical yesterday, but today more people went to have breakfast, and naturally more people praised it.

Rumors spread everywhere for a while, and the palace people were talking about the name of the West Kitchen.

There are also various novel breakfasts.

The styles may be a little different, but they have one thing in common: they are delicious.

Although the West Outer Palace is remote, the news should have only been circulated internally.

The people in the inner palace had sharp ears and naturally heard about this.

Upon hearing this, the noble in power directly called Jiang Hongye, who had gone to investigate the situation, and also asked his confidants to check whether there were any new people in the western kitchen recently.

Knowing that everything was normal, no one from the North and South Kitchens dared to send anyone to the West Kitchen, so they gave up.

But at noon, a palace servant who came from the Inner Palace and changed into the clothes of an official office near the West Outer Palace quietly slipped into the west kitchen.

This eunuch has an ordinary appearance. If you don't look at him carefully, you can't remember his appearance at all.

The eunuchs were naturally following the orders of the powerful and nobles to secretly taste the food in the west kitchen.

What you hear is not as good as what you see.

It can’t go wrong to try it, right?

As soon as the sneaky eunuch entered the west kitchen, he saw a huge crowd of people, and the palace servants were saying similar things.

What are they all about: "I heard that the food in the western dining room has improved?"

"I heard that the food in the western kitchen is extremely delicious."

"Of course! I will never lie to you!"

The eunuchs were startled. It was indeed so! If the queen knew, she would definitely be angry and might even take it out on them.

Didn't Jiang Hongye get lynched? That person was from the Empress's family.

The food in the western kitchen can actually be improved?

how so

With a nervous mood, the eunuch showed the nameplate of the West Outer Palace and ordered lunch from the Western Kitchen.

This lunch looks just so-so.

The rice was a bit hard, and the dish was the common beans, which were a bit swollen from soaking, and there was no trace of diced meat.

There is also boiled tofu.

It doesn't look delicious at all.

However, thinking of the rumors, the eunuch must try it before returning to the inner palace to report to the noble.

But when he took a bite of the beans, he subconsciously made a "Puh" sound twice.

Isn’t salt free?

Why is it so salty!

And there is also a weird smell!

This is delicious?!

If this is called delicious, then his cooking skills are definitely good enough to be a saint's royal chef!

What’s going on with the people in Xiwai Palace!

Can this kind of food be praised?

The eunuch saw that the young eunuch from the west kitchen, who had just been praising him, turned pale.

He was obviously stunned by the food.

All the compliments he had just given were slapped in the face! His friends around him even wanted to beat him up.

This is delicious?

You call this delicious?

The eunuch looked at the situation and felt that he had figured out what was going on here.

The West Kitchen is still the same West Kitchen, nothing has changed at all.

But just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard a little palace maid walking by.

The little palace maid had curved eyebrows and looked very cute. He tilted his head and said, "Every meal should be appreciated for its hard-earned value."

"Please finish eating the food you prepared."

Finished? The eunuch looked at the large portion of food he had ordered.

If I finish this, won't I get a stomachache?

Su Wan looked at this sneaky man and was slightly frightened, and he really revealed his true colors.

This will take the form of finishing the normal meals in the western kitchen as a punishment for him.

Besides, this is a rare delicacy from the dark dining hall of the west kitchen. You won’t be able to eat it even if you want to.

Because the chief of the Imperial Food Department just sent a message.

In a few days, she will be responsible for the lunch at the Shangshisi.

She was in a good mood right now, and she could just enjoy the spy's happy expression as he tasted the rare "delicacies" from the western kitchen!
