(The last chapter was edited at 11:00 PM, and the character design of Yirong has been changed)
The imperial kitchen and firewood room.
By midnight, the firewood was finally chopped. Yu Jinshu was exhausted and went to his residence to take a shower and go to bed, but found that there was no hot water in the bathroom.
It's usually prepared.
When we entered the room that accommodated six people, it was pitch black inside.
Yu Jinshu lay down on the bunk bed and found that the bedding was wet.
Obviously, this was done by Yirong.
Yirong was sleeping next to her.
In the dark night, Yu Jinshu curled his lips into a smile, lifted his own quilt, pulled Yirong's quilt over him and covered himself with it.
In the morning, Yirong was woken up by the cold. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Jinshu wrapped in her quilt and sleeping soundly beside her. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Yu Jinshu.
"Why did you pull my quilt? I have no blanket to cover myself with. A-choo..."
Yirong sneezed violently.
Yu Jinshu opened her eyes. She had expected Yirong to lose her temper, so she pretended to be clueless and said, "Last night, when I came back, my quilt was wet. I happened to be sleeping next to you, so I accidentally pulled your quilt."
Yirong sneezed several times in a row, and the palace maid who was sleeping next to her quickly moved away.
Yu Jinshu got up slowly, without feeling the slightest bit guilty about his clothes.
Yirong caught a cold and his stomach started to hurt. He had no time to argue with Yu Jinshu, so he got out of bed and went to the toilet.
Yu Jinshu went to bed without washing last night. It was only the hour of Yin now, so she had slept for less than three hours.
Fortunately, there were Qi and Blood Pills in the system mall. After taking them, she felt full of energy, and the fatigue of chopping wood last night was also relieved.
The emperor has to attend the morning court at 11:00 AM, and the imperial kitchen usually has to get up and go to work at this time to prepare the emperor's breakfast.
After getting up, Yu Jinshu didn't care about Yirong's bedding. He just took his own bedding outside to dry. After washing up, he went to the imperial kitchen.
Just now, when she was combing her hair, she looked at her face in the mirror. Her bone structure was extremely beautiful, but her skin was very dry and rough from being smoked by the fire in the stove.
Because she was a concubine's daughter and her mother died early, she was not favored in the uncle's house. She had little money, and the little money she saved was spent on this.
Therefore, she did not apply any facial cream, so her skin was not nourished and naturally looked ugly.
Just now, when she was combing her hair, she bought a beauty pill from the system mall and ate it, as well as some skin care cream. After using them, she hid them in the system and did not need to carry them with her to avoid being discovered by her clothes.
Yirong often rummages through her things.
Once you take the Qi and Blood Pill and the Beauty Pill, your appearance will change. Your face will look rosy, your eyes will be brighter, and your skin will become smoother.
Yu Jinshu didn't want anyone to notice that she had become more beautiful at the moment, so she lowered her head and went to the kitchen, then quickly grabbed a handful of stove ash and sprinkled some on her face.
At this time, a palace maid brought seasonings from the warehouse to the imperial kitchen, and she went to the stove to find Yu Jinshu.
This palace maid lived in the same room with Yu Jinshu. Her name was Biqing.
"Jinshu, last night we all saw Yirong soak your quilt with a basin of water. Did you know that and that's why you stole her quilt?"
Yu Jinshu looked at Biqing and said, "I don't know. The quilt was wet and I didn't cover it. Maybe it was cold in the middle of the night, so I snatched her quilt."
She couldn't challenge Yirong openly. Besides, it would be better for her to pretend to be stupid.
Yirong is usually a bit domineering and is not liked by his companions in the house.
Bi Qing smiled and said, "She's vomiting and having diarrhea, so I'm afraid she caught a cold. Aunt Li punished her by sending her to a small dark room and also deducting her wages."
Yu Jinshu cursed inwardly, "Serves you right."
Without Yirong watching her, she would have to think carefully for the next few days.
There was a supervisor in the kitchen, so Biqing didn't dare stay too long and hurried out.
Yu Jinshu looked at the head chef holding the menu with a frown on his face, and a plan came to her mind.
The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was only half a month away. The menu prepared by the head chef was sent to the Empress Dowager several times, but she felt that she was tired of the dishes and there was nothing new about them.
She stood up and walked to the head chef, tilting her head and asking, "Head chef, are you worried about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet?"
The head chef was a good man and was very kind to the palace maids in the imperial kitchen.
He nodded and sighed again: "Alas! The Queen Mother has seen it several times, but I don't know what she wants to eat."
Yu Jinshu said, "The Queen Mother must want to eat something fresh, something you haven't cooked before."
The head chef looked at Yu Jinshu and said, "You are just a little palace maid, don't you have any ideas?"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "Chef, this is such a coincidence. I used to love researching dishes at home. Why don't I cook a few dishes for you to try later?"
Perhaps it was because Yu Jinshu's smile was too sweet, the depressed chef, although he didn't count on Yu Jinshu, still nodded: "Okay, do it if you want."
Yu Jinshu was very happy. He looked at the stove while logging into the system to check.
She was very familiar with the dishes in the imperial kitchen. She looked for the recipes in the system and picked out a few dishes that were not available in the imperial kitchen.
Add sirloin steak and birthday cake and that's about it.
After breakfast was ready, she had an hour to rest and hurried to prepare the ingredients.
It is not difficult to make these. The system has the steps for making them, and the ingredients are all here.
When the head chef took a nap and returned to the kitchen, he saw Yu Jinshu guarding the door.
"Chef, I've prepared a few dishes. Please try them!"
She bowed and extended her right hand as a gesture of hospitality, looking attentive and attentive.
The chef's eyes were fixed on the exquisitely presented dishes on the table.
He pointed at the cake and asked, "What is this?"
Yu Jinshu introduced: "Birthday cake."
