Xiao Yi said somewhat guiltily, "I don't eat, I don't care about food, and I'm not jealous."
"Okay, I'll cook for Xiao Yi when I have the chance in the future." Yun Qingluo comforted Xiao Yi, but regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.
Xiao Yi remained silent and did not speak again.
Just as Yun Qingluo was about to say something to comfort Xiao Yi, she heard Yun Tao ask her which outfit she wanted to change into.
The falling clouds pulled me back to reality.
He glanced at the clothes Yun Tao was pointing to, then his eyes lit up, and he picked out a simple garment with gathered cuffs.
"This one will do. I need to cook, and this will make it easier to do things." Yun Qingluo pointed to the clothes she brought from the Prince's mansion.
Yunxin hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, isn't this a bit inappropriate for your status?"
It's too rudimentary.
Yun Qingluo said nonchalantly, "Anyway, everyone in this palace is one of our own, and there are guards outside, so no news will leak out."
"Once I've finished cooking, I can come back, wash up, and change into something appropriate for my status."
Yun Xin wanted to say something more, but Yun Qingluo urged them to help her change her clothes.
"Hurry up, or when Granny Gong comes, she'll start nagging again."
Yun Tao and Yun Xin shuddered at the thought of Granny Gong's nagging and hurriedly helped Yun Qingluo change her clothes.
Then the three of them rushed to the small kitchen.
Over there, Eunuch Wu had already instructed the small kitchen to do the basic work and thoughtfully gave the staff there half a day off.
Yun Qingluo looked at the clean fruits and vegetables on the kitchen counter and gave Wu Gonggong a thumbs up.
"Eunuch Wu, you've done a great job." Yun Qingluo made no attempt to hide her admiration.
Eunuch Wu waved his hands repeatedly, "This was all prepared by the kitchen. No, I didn't do anything. If Your Highness needs any help, please just tell me."
Yun Qingluo glanced at Eunuch Wu, then at Yun Tao and Yun Xin.
When asked, "Do you know how to start a fire?", the questioner replied...
Eunuch Wu quickly replied, "Yes, yes, of course I can do this. I'll start the fire for Your Highness."
Seeing that Eunuch Wu had already been dealt with by Yun Qingluo, Yun Tao and Yun Xin quickly asked, "Your Highness, what about us?"
"You guys? Hmm, Yun Tao, help me chop this meat into minced meat. Yun Xin, help me cut this, this, and this, and these vegetables into sections."
"Okay!" the two said in unison.
Yun Qingluo knew that Mo Beichen had been busy with court affairs these past two days, and that the ministers were all old-fashioned, sticking to the old ways, and dared not step out of their comfort zones to make changes.
It's estimated that it will be difficult to implement Mo Beichen's new policies, so his appetite is probably not very good. Therefore, she plans to make some sweet and spicy dishes and sweet and sour dishes to whet his appetite.
Yun Qingluo found some shrimp, cleaned them, and removed the shrimp shells and veins.
Then sprinkle starch on the cutting board and coat the whole shrimp with a layer of starch.
Then use a small rolling pin to pound the shrimp into shrimp chips. This will make the shrimp meat very tender and chewy.
After pounding the shrimp into chips, wait for the water in the pot to boil, then add the shrimp chips and seasonings to remove any fishy smell. Cook until the shrimp change color, then take them out and rinse them in ice water for a better texture.
Yun Qingluo glanced around and saw that Eunuch Wu was diligently tending the fire, Yun Tao was seriously chopping meat, and Yun Xin was also skillfully cutting vegetables.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she hurriedly took out the seasonings and condiments she needed from the system, poured some into the bowl, and then secretly put them back.
Xiao Yi shouted into the system, "Report! I want to report someone cheating!"
Yun Qingluo said, "Shut up."
Xiao Yi said, "Hmph, use this seasoning sparingly, use it sparingly."
Yun Qingluo said nonchalantly, "Isn't there a shop?"
Xiao Yi, "Do you have points or merit points?"
Yun Qingluo said, "Alright, you may leave."
Xiao Yi, "Cha."
Yun Qingluo glanced at the seasonings on the counter, added a few more, and stirred them well.
Place the shrimp meat in a dish and sprinkle with cilantro and onion.
Oh, and there were also a few slices of lemon and tangerine she stole from the system.
She had already planned it all out. If anyone asked, she would say that she had asked someone to search for it for a long time before finding it.
Besides, there are lemons in the palace, but I guess only the royal kitchen has them.
Yun Qinglu poured in the sauce. Since she didn't have disposable gloves, she could only use chopsticks to mix it evenly and then let it marinate slowly.
Yun Qingluo smelled the sour and spicy aroma and looked at the brightly colored dishes, and her mouth started to water.
Be patient, I'll eat with Ah Chen in a little while.
Yun Qingluo recalled how much she loved the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar at the orphanage when she was a child; just thinking about it made her feel incredibly hungry.
Even after joining the organization, whenever he was free and too lazy to cook, he would go to the orphanage for a free meal. However, the chef who made this dish later left.
The most important thing for stir-fried cabbage with vinegar is to make the sauce well.
Yun Qingluo glanced at the desk and shook her head in disappointment.
It seems we still need the technology and hard work from our hometown.
Yun Qingluo secretly had Xiao Yi cover for her while the sauce was prepared, and then she added half a bowl of water and stirred it well.
"Your Highness, the minced meat is ready!" Yun Tao called out impatiently as soon as she finished mincing the meat.
"Your Highness, the vegetables are all chopped." Yunxin called out, not wanting to be left behind.
"Your Highness, the fire is ready." Eunuch Wu was completely bewildered by the way the two addressed each other.
But in order to follow the formation, he obediently followed the trend.
Yun Qingluo's hand trembled slightly, and she let out a soft breath.
Phew, thankfully, the sauce was prepared well, and it wasn't discovered or spilled.
wrong!
Yun Qingluo turned around, "What did you call me?"
Yun Tao and Yun Xin exchanged a glance.
Oh no, I've gotten so used to being in the Prince's kitchen that I felt like I was still in the Prince's mansion.
That's not right.
Yun Tao and Yun Xin simultaneously turned their gazes to the third person called Princess, Eunuch Wu.
"Eunuch Wu, we called him wrong because we're used to it. How could you call him wrong too?" Yun Tao and Yun Xin started to shift the blame.
Eunuch Wu felt somewhat aggrieved. "I thought you were deliberately using secret signals, wasn't that right?"
Yun Tao and Yun Xin looked away.
That's enough, there shouldn't be any expectations.
Yun Qingluo found it amusing to see the disappointed looks on Yun Tao and Yun Xin's faces.
"Be more careful in the future. We can't afford to make any mistakes. Although everyone in this harem is one of our people, we still need to be careful. We need to gradually change some of our habits, otherwise it will be troublesome if we make a mistake in front of outsiders one day."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we understand."
Yun Qingluo felt that it was almost time, so while stir-frying the cabbage with vinegar, she said to Yun Tao:
"Yun Tao, go to the imperial kitchen and get some rice and chicken soup. I'll take them to A-Chen together in a bit. No need for other dishes."
Also, tell the Imperial Kitchen that I've prepared the Emperor's lunch here, and the leftovers can be given to them as a reward. If you'd like some, you can join us for a meal later.”
Yun Tao accepted the order and left.
