After hearing what the little eunuch said, Chu Qiao felt secretly proud that it was done this time and she could go deliver the food. So she turned around and looked over with a smile.
The little eunuch looked at Chu Qiao's face, narrowed his eyes, and praised him.
"Oh, she's still pretty, she's the only one. Come on, come on, I'll give you a bowl of eight-treasure tofu soup in the Royal Pharmacy of the Taiyuan Hospital. It's your favorite drink."
After the little eunuch finished speaking, he handed a lunch box directly to Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao did not dare to neglect and hurriedly took it.
Babao tofu soup? Why does it sound so familiar? Isn't that... the favorite drink of the man in the carriage? Thinking of this, Chu Qiao's hand shook and the soup almost spilled out.
"Eight, eight-treasure tofu soup?"
Chu Qiao stammered and stared blankly at the little eunuch in front of her. It was such a coincidence that her benefactor was in the hospital, right? Chu Qiao's expression made the little eunuch misunderstood, and he quickly comforted Chu Qiao.
"It's your first time, so you'll be a little nervous, but don't worry, walk carefully, look at people carefully, and then you can come back after you send them off. It's very simple. If Lady Liu's illness doesn't get better in the future, the meals in this hospital will be provided by
You gave it away."
Seeing Chu Qiao's expression, the little eunuch thought that the little palace maid had never seen much of the world and was scared.
"Go quickly, don't waste time." The little eunuch urged.
"But, where is Chef Mao..." Chu Qiao asked in a low voice while holding the lunch box. Mao Daqiu happened to look over, and the little eunuch hurriedly greeted her.
"Chef Mao, I have to use your people this time. The hospital is still hungry."
Mao Daqiu stared a few times, but he didn't dare to say the word "no". After all, he was a minister in the imperial court waiting for a meal. He was a senior chef, so he didn't dare to look down upon him.
"Go, go, go." Mao Daqiu waved his hand.
"Chunxiang will go right now." Chu Qiao turned around quickly, carried the lunch box and walked out of the dining room. She was afraid that Mao Daqiu would regret it and it would not be her turn to do this.
There were two little eunuchs delivering meals outside the door. When they saw Chu Qiao coming out, they walked towards the Imperial Hospital.
Following the little eunuch, Chu Qiao's heart was still agitated. It took her a long time to calm down. There are many people in the world who love to drink Babao Tofu Soup. The old man of the Chu Mansion loves tofu.
I particularly like to drink Babao Tofu Soup, so this adult in the Taiyuan Hospital simply fell in love with this mouthful.
Soon, the imperial hospital arrived. This door was very different from the one in the imperial kitchen. There were two lifelike stone lions standing at the door. It looked like the Yamen in Qingzhou. There were three doors. Walking on the right side, two young eunuchs were familiar with the road.
But it was the first time Chu Qiao came here and she was a little unfamiliar.
After passing a long corridor, I saw a large courtyard on the left hand side. Several medical women were walking in. The plaque said the Office of Licensing. This should be the place where imperial doctors are trained and evaluated. As soon as they entered the door
Medical women and doctors have to go through several years of study and practice before they are qualified to take the imperial medical examination and treat the emperor, the empresses, concubines and ministers. This uncle had told Chu Qiao before.
"Go forward to the Royal Pharmacy, turn right, go straight, then turn left, go in and deliver the lunch boxes to your table." After giving the instructions, a little eunuch and another little eunuch headed towards the Yuxiang Bureau.
Chu Qiao stood there blankly, frowning. These two little eunuchs, when she was very familiar with this place, were confused about turning right and left.
But with this lunch box in hand, she didn't know if she would be blamed if it was delivered late. Chu Qiao did not dare to delay, so she just followed the little eunuch's instructions and walked forward first. When she saw the two moon gates, she turned right.
Turning around, Chu Qiao walked quickly along the red wall. When the wall of the Imperial Hospital came to the end, she turned left. Not to mention, the words "Royal Pharmacy" were right in front of her.
It turned out that the Royal Pharmacy was at the back of the Tai Hospital, which made her walk a lot longer.
Chu Qiao walked in and found that the door was closed. She couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. Because she didn't know who was inside or what they were doing, Chu Qiao didn't dare to open the door rashly.
"Sir, the meal has arrived." Chu Qiao whispered.
After this sound, there was no response from inside. Could it be that there was no one there?
After clearing her throat, Chu Qiao shouted again.
"Sir, bring me some food!"
Maybe the sound was louder this time, and the people inside finally heard it and responded softly.
"Come in!"
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, holding the lunch box in one hand and gently pushing the door open with the other.
After the door opened, a scent of medicine came out from inside. Chu Qiao raised her eyes and looked in. She found that the light in the room was a little dim, and the man who spoke could not be seen for a while.
The Imperial Pharmacy is the place where medicines are purchased, stored, and prepared in the palace. Many precious medicinal materials are stored here. Some of them cannot be found in the world, but they are all available here. The person here should be the director of the Imperial Pharmacy, or the Imperial Pharmacy who goes straight to it.
Doctor, right?
Chu Qiao walked in and was shocked by what she saw. Rows of medicine shelves. The names of the medicines were all in gold letters. Even though the light here was dim, there was still a shimmering light. There were layers of medicines.
On display, not even a trace of dust can be seen. It can be seen that it has been carefully cleaned every day. The floor is very smooth and clean, and people's shadows can be reflected when walking up to it.
"Are you new here?"
Just when Chu Qiao was lost in thought, a man's voice came from the direction of her right hand. Then she realized that she had lost her composure, turned around quickly, lowered her head, and stood respectfully.
"My maid, Li Chunxiang, is here to bring you meals. It's my first time here, so I don't understand the rules."
After Chu Qiao said this, she didn't know whether to step forward or step back, because the man didn't respond to her, and seemed to be sizing him up. A pair of starry eyes stared directly at her, making Chu Qiao unable to help herself.
She broke into a cold sweat. She wouldn't come in too abruptly and make this adult unhappy, would she?
After a long time, the man's thoughtful voice came from the opposite side again.
"Li Chunxiang?"
"My servant is Li Chunxiang, and this is the eight-treasure tofu soup you asked for..." Chu Qiao said, feeling strange, why did this adult's voice sound a little familiar?
"I didn't expect you to be the one delivering the meal today. Let's just leave it here without being formal." The man's voice became much softer.
Chu Qiao nodded doubtfully, lowered her head, and walked forward step by step.
"With your head down like this, aren't you afraid of bumping into the table and spilling the soup? Lift your head, this is the royal pharmacy, there is no need to follow the etiquette of the palace."
His voice was natural, relaxed, and made people feel comfortable. Chu Qiao immediately relaxed a lot and slowly raised her head.
But when Chu Qiao saw the man's face behind the desk, her hands shook and the lunch box fell down...
