Chapter 625: It would be a waste if I didn't act coquettishly when I'm so pretty
The next day, Hao Huashi took Xue Xuanji and started to search according to the map.
He looked at them one by one first, and then went to the imperial kitchen to pick out a few young eunuchs, with each of them being responsible for one area.
Ask someone to prepare the necessary tools and the little eunuch will learn from them.
Generally speaking, many family craftsmanship are kept secret, such as the recipes of some fillings. But with Xue Xuanji around, he came forward and said that he had picked out a few local specialties to please his master, and that he would not sell them outside or steal the business. Then, if he paid some money, everything would be easy.
The chain reaction of doing this is that many people who think they are very good and unique come to the Xue family and say, "Look at us, we are also very good."
Hao Huashi did not mind the trouble and went to see them one by one.
He found that Tuanzi liked the ones with flashy techniques. There were many things that actually tasted just so-so, but the techniques were flexible and beautiful to make, so Tuanzi liked them very much.
So he picked three suitable ones and sent a young eunuch to each of them to learn.
How complicated can street food be? The young kitchen helpers we brought here were all very clever. They learned how to make it in less than an hour, and then started practicing.
After practicing for two or three days, when they became proficient and had all the tools in place, these people came back and continued practicing.
Hao Huashi was watching from a distance with a smile on his face.
In a place like the Imperial Kitchen, every chef is well-versed in all kinds of skills. These snacks are a piece of cake for them. They can learn how to make them just by looking at them. They chat and laugh while watching.
Hao Huashi stood far away, watching with a smile, then came over and said, "From what I heard, you all know some of it?"
The eunuch in charge hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile, "These are simple snacks from all over the place. Everyone knows a few of them."
"That's fine," Hao Huashi said with a smile, "Then each of you pick one, preferably one that's fun and delicious, and don't repeat yourself. Practice first, and then I'll go and beg the emperor, and we'll go play around in the entire snack street."
The eunuch in charge naturally agreed to this kind of thing that would bring him fame.
The two turned around and walked back. Xue Xuanji couldn't help but ask him, "Will the emperor agree?"
"I think so," Hao Huashi said, "You haven't seen how depressed Master has been these past two days. The Emperor must be worried too."
Xue Xuanji was somewhat envious, "You are so brave, you dare to talk to anyone."
Hao Huashi raised an eyebrow: "Do you need to be brave? Aren't you practicing medicine and treating patients every day? Are you afraid to talk to patients?"
Xue Xuanji asked: "How can they be the same?"
“It’s not much different.”
Xue Xuanji glanced at him and said nothing. After a while, he whispered, "You asked me to say that to her, but Master didn't even tell me to follow her. What if she doesn't let me follow her? How embarrassing."
Hao Huashi: “……???”
He laughed and said, "Then go hug someone's thigh! Act like a spoiled child! Cry! It would be a waste if you don't act like a spoiled child if you are so pretty!"
Xue Xuanji: “…”
Hao Huashi laughed and said, "I was just kidding."
Xue Xuanji nodded: "I know. I'm so embarrassed if I can't do it..."
Hao Huashi ignored what he said, touched his chin, and said to himself: "You did this job, why should I do it? Don't worry, you don't have to do it yourself when the time comes. If the master doesn't take you away, I will help you act like a spoiled child!!"
He suddenly changed into a little girl's voice and said delicately, "Master, Master, you must take me away, otherwise I won't agree!!"
Xue Xuanji: “…”
The innocent and gentle young boy's eyes widened.
He is a good senior brother, he looks normal normally, why is he so crazy...
Hao Huashi looked at his expression and laughed out loud.
Then he went to see Emperor Mingpei, and sure enough, Emperor Mingpei agreed.
As soon as he came out, Hao Huashi directly told his junior brother about the matter: "Xuan Ji, go ask them if they have decided. If they have, you can ask the adults to write the sign."
He smiled and nodded: "If you try it yourself, you will find that it is not difficult at all. These adults are not cannibals."
Xue Xuanji felt embarrassed by what he said and nodded in agreement.
Although he is not very old, he has been studying medicine since he was a child and has been walking around the streets. He is not a shy person.
He took the list from the imperial kitchen, went out directly to find someone to buy the flags, and then went to find the adults.
He cautiously went to find Cheng Fuju first.
Then Cheng Fuju took him to find someone.
The snacks chosen this time are all of northern flavor, so Cheng Fuju found some officials whose native place was in the north, and they just happened to be the ones who chose the snacks from their hometown. In addition to writing the names, they also drew a few strokes on the corners of the flags, such as the appearance of the food, the local scenery, etc.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After the painting was finished, it looked quite similar.
Then Xue Xuanji asked someone to send it back to them, and they didn't care about the rest of the matters anymore, and let the people from the inner government office take over the arrangements.
The eunuchs from the inner court even came to return the money Xue Xuanji had spent on buying the flag. They were all very considerate.
So what Hao Huashi said is right, it is not difficult at all if you do it yourself.
The other side.
Xinbao was counting the days until he could return to Beijing, and he was in a depressed mood for several days.
A few days later, Miao switched into another mode, taking her human cameras with her to take pictures and check in everywhere.
The 27th came in a flash, and Tuanzi had a sudden idea to plant a few trees inside and outside the Daqing Hall so that they could see them next time they came. He also built a grape trellis so that they could enjoy the cool under it.
The problem is that it's okay just outside the yard, but inside, Emperor Mingpei is still busy in the study, digging the ground outside.
After the digging was completed and the saplings were put in, Xinbao sprinkled a few handfuls of soil himself, went into the house and pulled Yeye out, insisting that he join in the fun.
Emperor Mingpei let her do what she wanted and grabbed a few handfuls of soil and sprinkled it around. Then Xinbao came over with a small bucket with a serious look on his face and poured water on it.
When all the planting was done, Xinbao was covered in dirt. He went to change his clothes and when he came out he found that Yeye had also changed his clothes, and Shen Shouyan was there too. His wife and third brother had all changed into civilian clothes.
Xinbao exclaimed: "Yeah, are we going to go on an incognito tour again?"
"Yes," Mingpeidi directly took her hand and said, "Let's go."
"Are we going now?" Tuanzi followed with his short legs, holding his stomach: "Can't we go after we eat? Xinbao is hungry."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Let's go out for dinner."
Going out for dinner?
Xinbao immediately stopped being anxious and followed with great interest. As a result, after leaving the Daqing Palace, he did not get on the carriage until he passed the Yuzhu Lake... Suddenly, he heard the sound of hawking one after another.
Xinbao was a little confused and pointed in that direction: "Yeah yeah?"
Emperor Mingpei smiled and asked, "Do you smell the fragrance?"
Xinbao thought of something and nodded vigorously. He moved his short legs quickly and walked forward holding Yeye with both hands. As they walked around the hall, Xinbao exclaimed in surprise.
