The first day of May in the thirteenth year of Tianze.
The imperial palace guards had already gotten up early in the morning. If it were ten days ago, they would have definitely been looking for food after getting up.
But now you can go directly to the west kitchen to eat.
The breakfast in the western kitchen is very delicious now.
On the way to the west kitchen, the palace servants might also meet low-ranking palace servants from the Shangbaojian nearby. Although the Shangbaojian was an unemployed place, the stewards and guards inside all had some background, but they also needed people to serve them, and these servants naturally didn't have much money.
Now that the food in the western kitchen is delicious, I naturally want to eat there, and it can also save some money.
As for those in the Shangbaojian who had some background and wealth, they would still send people to the Baochaosi to buy food from the Lingtai Gate, or they would cook it in the small kitchen in the Shangbaojian and would never come to the west kitchen.
Everyone has gotten used to it.
This is a good thing. The food in the western kitchen is so delicious now. The more people eat it, the less they can grab!
Yes, of course you have to fight for food, even though everyone gets a share of the food, but those who want to go will definitely be able to pick out the best food!
So when the Imperial Palace Supervisor saw the Shangbao Palace Supervisor, he immediately quickened his pace.
The palace guards of Shangbao Palace were naturally no exception and immediately sped up.
Fortunately, this is the remote Xiwai Palace, otherwise I don’t know what kind of noble person I would have offended.
When everyone rushed to the west kitchen, they could smell the fragrance before entering the kitchen. Yes, today is the first day of May, and it’s time to eat century egg and lean meat porridge again!
God, the taste of century egg and lean meat porridge is something that no one who has tasted it will forget.
There are also glutinous rice balls, chive dumplings, and fried tofu.
They all love to eat!
I feel like I can never get tired of eating it.
Some people who are not well-informed have not even had their meal of the day.
Thinking about the fact that the meals in the western kitchen are rotated every five days, it's really good. At least I won't get tired of them so easily.
Anyway, it’s definitely not boring for them now!
Everyone rushed to eat.
A lot of money can be saved in a month.
But the people from the Imperial Household Department slowed down a little bit.
Because they had to take a look at today's menu as usual. Wei Jun told Zhuo Hui yesterday that if there was Su Wan's handwriting on the menu, it meant that Su Wan would be cooking at noon.
Although this was just said yesterday, it doesn't stop them from taking a look now.
As for Su Wan’s handwriting?
They already know it by heart!
The first eunuch who looked at the menu board was subconsciously stunned, and finally exclaimed: "It was written by Su Wan!"
What was written by Su Wan?
Wait for everyone to take a closer look.
The breakfast menu was written by someone familiar to everyone. Su Wan's handwriting was soft yet firm, quite sharp and easy to recognize.
Even if you can't read, you can still recognize handwriting.
But what happened to lunch!
Why is it still written by Su Wan?
Wait, dinner too?
Were they dazzled? Was it because it was daybreak and they saw it wrong?
When everyone tried to focus, a voice was heard in great surprise: "It was really written by Su Wan! She also cooked lunch at noon!"
"Oh my god! That's great!"
“I want to eat it now!”
Everyone crowded in front of the sign, trying hard to see their own images on it, and those who could read read out today's lunch and dinner menus.
Lunch: seven-star fish balls, minced peas and meat, fish-flavored eggplant, and garlic-sauce vegetables.
The staple food is rice or steamed bread.
Add another dish of winter melon and tofu soup.
This seems normal.
But at night there were only a few simple words.
Noodles with soybean paste, noodle soup.
That’s it?
This dinner is also in Su Wan's handwriting, but why is it so simple and not as sumptuous as lunch?
In fact, this lunch has already been cut down.
According to Su Wan’s previous recipe, lunch should have six dishes.
But no matter what, putting lunch and dinner together now makes dinner seem particularly monotonous.
Could it be that Su Wan is asked to cook three meals a day, so she wants to be lazy at night?
Actually, it is acceptable. After all, she has to cook for so many people and Su Wan is so young.
Su Wan herself didn't expect that everyone would find excuses for her so quickly.
If she heard it, she would definitely cry out that it was unfair!
Jjajangmyeon sounds simple, but it is absolutely delicious and no worse than lunch.
Most of the people in the Imperial Household Department were gathered around the menu, looking at it, which allowed the palace people in the Imperial Treasure Department to get there first, but they didn't mind at all.
Just knowing there’s something delicious for lunch is enough!
Suddenly the day has something to look forward to!
Looking forward to breakfast and lunch, and then eating a simple bowl of noodles with soybean paste, wouldn’t the day be wonderful?
When the imperial palace guards walked into the dining hall, the imperial palace guards felt puzzled.
What's wrong with them? They come so late and seem so excited.
Didn’t you see that the Shangbaojian had already taken the lead?
But the people in the Imperial Household Department looked at each other.
Don't even tell them about lunch!
Tell them what the Shangbaojian does!
Do you want to grab the food after I tell you? No!
Keep it hidden!
Everyone looked at each other and immediately shut up.
Fortunately, Wei Jun Zhuohui from their Imperial Household Department was familiar with the young palace maid Su Wan, otherwise, would they have known it in advance?
The breakfast of preserved egg and lean meat porridge is very satisfying.
However, someone from the Shangbaojian also brought food back, which made Su Wan take a few more glances.
Only the chief and deputy chief managers of each place are qualified to take food back.
But the chief eunuch of the Shangbaojian is so proud and arrogant that he also eats the food here?
It’s not that Su Wan has no confidence in her craftsmanship, but the people in Shangbaojian are indeed arrogant.
Yu Shu heard this and said, "In my opinion, even the most arrogant person would be impressed by your craftsmanship."
Xiaoyue Haruka nodded together, and Xiaoyue even said: "If you ask me, even a saint would like it if he tasted it."
Chunxiang quickly told her to shut up: "How can you say such things casually?"
"We are one family anyway, so it doesn't matter."
Now the three of them often follow Su Wan, and Su Wan seems to be the center of their group.
The four of them entered the palace together, were assigned to the West Kitchen together, and lived in the same room, so naturally they had a good relationship.
Su Wan also laughed: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm going to Guandi Temple first and will be back soon."
Now that I don’t have to bring food to Yan Pei, things are indeed much faster.
I haven't seen him for several days, and I still miss him a little.
I don't know what happened to this poor little thing.
This time, when Su Wan entered the Guandi Temple, she happened to see Yan Pei burning incense to Lord Guandi. He was still wearing the old Taoist robe, without any accessories on his body, and he stood as tall as a pine tree.
Was she seeing things? Why did she feel like Yan Pei had grown taller?
But it's only been a few days.
As soon as Su Wan stepped into the room, Yan Pei turned around and looked at her with his eyes slightly lowered.
Well, I did grow a little taller.
Su Wan asked in confusion: "What have you eaten recently? How come you have grown taller in just a few days?"
Yan Pei smiled: "You are too short."
???
Can a person become shorter? Impossible.
Su Wan was about to retort, but subconsciously said, "I didn't bring your breakfast. Wait for me for a while, I'll go get it."
Unexpectedly, Yan Pei shook his head slightly: "I'm leaving soon, I don't have much time."
He had just come out of the Armory today and was going straight back to his palace to deal with some important matters.
By the time Su Wan brings the food over, it will definitely be too late.
Although he really missed Su Wan's craftsmanship, it was not a good idea to waste time.
Su Wan had no choice but to nod, but still reminded: "You are growing up now, so you must eat more."
Yan Pei really wanted to laugh when he heard Su Wan say this.
A child who was shorter than him actually seriously advised him to eat more.
Yan Pei thought of Su Wan's look when he pretended to be pitiful that day, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He deliberately said: "You also know how harsh my boss is on me. I don't have the chance to eat more even if I want to."
Su Wan subconsciously opened her eyes wide after being reminded of this.
Oh yeah, how could I have forgotten about this.
Like she was in the west kitchen, even if the food there was not tasty, she could still cook it herself.
And now I am gradually gaining a foothold there and can eat anything.
A young Taoist disciple like Yan Pei is in a miserable situation.
Who made all the important figures in the palace believe in Buddhism?
Su Wan thought about it seriously and said, "Why don't you go find me."
"As long as you come to me, you will definitely have food to eat."
When Yan Pei saw Su Wan's extremely serious look, he was surprised at first, then worried, and now he was seriously considering him.
The small face has a lot of expressions.
She was completely defenseless in front of him, and everyone could see it clearly.
If Su Wan were in other places, she wouldn't show any expression on her face.
But when it comes to my friends, I naturally don’t like to pretend.
It’s so tiring to pretend every day.
In her opinion, since everyone is working in the palace, they must take care of each other.
Su Wan stood on tiptoe and patted Yan Pei on the shoulder: "From now on, I will take care of your meals!"
She may not be good at other things, but she can definitely cook.
Yan Pei opened his mouth. It seemed that Yan Pei was just pretending to be pitiful just now, but now he seemed to be addicted to it.
But some things cannot be taken too far. He always felt that if Su Wan found out that he was pretending, he would be in trouble.
I have to say, this premonition is indeed quite accurate.
Yan Pei stared at Su Wan again.
I actually had a ridiculous thought in my mind. No wonder the women in the harem all pretend to be weak and pitiful.
It turns out to be so useful.
He was just a little pitiful in front of Su Wan, but he was treated so well. Fortunately, he knew how to use the four words "know when to stop".
But the more silent Yan Pei was, the more distressed Su Wan felt.
What's wrong with this child? He just stared at her without saying a word.
It's just a matter of giving me food, there's no need to be so touched.
It turned out to be just as I thought, she was just a poor little thing that no one loved her.
When Su Wan returned to the west kitchen, she had already agreed to bring food to Yan Pei the next day. She could just put the food on the low table in the Guandi Temple, and Yan Pei would come to get it when he was free.
The two may not be able to meet, but the food can definitely be taken away.
Su Wan thinks it’s pretty good too!
At least as long as the poor little thing is full!
After spending a little time in the Guandi Temple, when Su Wan returned to the west kitchen, she saw that the ingredients needed for lunch had already been brought there.
Especially fresh live fish, a total of fifty kilograms.
If you only take the fish meat from a fifty-pound fish and mix it with potato starch, you can make about seventy to eighty pounds of fish balls.
It is enough to make seven-star fish balls for lunch. This fish ball is made in a special way and is slightly different from ordinary fish balls.
There are also a lot of fresh peas and eggplants from April, all of which are fresh food. The vegetables are also seasonal vegetables and look fresh and tender.
However, when these dishes were transported to the back kitchen, the people in the Shangbaojian could not help but sigh: "Such good ingredients are going to be wasted."
"Why not let Su Wan do it!"
Although the meal was delicious in the morning, these ingredients will definitely be wasted at noon!
Su Wan happened to be nearby and said with a smile, "I'll do it today."
The people in Shangbaojian looked over subconsciously. Su Wan did not look up when she was checking the ingredients just now, so when she looked up now, she would naturally be discovered.
But before the Shangbao Palace Supervisor could be surprised, the Imperial Palace Supervisor cried out in sorrow: "My ancestor Su Wan, why did you say that?"
"Yeah! If you say it out loud, more people will grab the food!"
"Wow, this is so difficult! The people from the Shangbaojian actually knew about it!"
Everyone in Shangbaojian: Good fellow, you’re hiding this from them, right?
Then we really need to grab it seriously today!
Su Wan looked at the momentum of both sides.
If you know it’s about fighting for food, those who don’t would think it’s about going to the battlefield!
It's really laughable.
