Chu Qiao didn't know about the changes in the harem caused by Concubine Li's miscarriage. She tucked her hair behind her hat and pushed open the dining room door.
As expected, everyone's eyes were turned over. First they were surprised that Li Chunxiang was not dead after being dragged away by a wolf, and then their eyes focused on her clothes. This was the outfit of a senior chef.
When Chu Qiao raised her eyes, they all quickly looked away. Hidden in various expressions were dissatisfaction and confusion. No one could figure out what a disaster a little cook could do.
After becoming immortal, he actually took on such a big responsibility.
"She was ordered by Master Shangshi," someone whispered.
"Chef Mao was injured because of her, and now he can't come to work. Is she taking his place?" Some people felt worthless for Chef Mao, and believed that Chu Qiao was very scheming.
Chu Qiao walked in, and Feicui came over with a rag, looking at her.
"Pa"
The rag was thrown at Chu Qiao's feet. Although there was resentment in Jade's heart, she didn't dare to be as presumptuous as a few days ago.
"Chef Li, congratulations, congratulations."
In the dining room, there are still people who are willing to get close to Chu Qiao. For them, it doesn't matter who gets promoted, as long as their life in the dining room is easy.
"Chef Mao's work, Eunuch Ping said, you will be responsible for it now." The little eunuch next to Eunuch Ping passed on Eunuch Ping's words. The person who was admired by Xue Wanyue, the director of Shangshi, Eunuch Ping didn't want Chu Qiao to be just a high-ranking person.
The name of the chef.
The little eunuch said what Eunuch Ping said in front of everyone, and those who were not convinced did not dare to say anything.
As soon as the little eunuch beside Eunuch Ping left, the two sixth-level chefs from the dining room brought in several trays. When they entered the door, the two of them looked at each other with a trace of ridicule on their expressions.
These two people are close friends with Mao Dasong, one is named Wang Sanchuang and the other is Zhou Lie.
"Chef Li, these are the Mongolian spices sent by the supervisor of Shangshi from the Yuxiang Room. Please take a look at them one by one to see if there is anything missing. The supervisor said that he will send someone to deliver them immediately..."
Wang Sanchuang explained the contents of the tray, and then he and Zhou Lie placed the trays on the table one by one, and took a step back. Zhou Lie pursed his lips and even snickered.
Chu Qiao glanced at the two of them and felt that these two guys had been sneaky since they entered the door and didn't know what they were up to.
When Chu Qiao glanced at these spices one by one, she realized their intention. It turned out that they wanted to embarrass her, the newly appointed senior chef, on this occasion. Among the six prairie spices, the fourth one on the tray
are common herbal medicines.
"Are you sure these are the spices sent by Mr. Shangshi?" Chu Qiao asked.
"Yes, absolutely right." Wang Sanchuang nodded, his eyes raised for a moment and then quickly lowered.
"Do you two know this herb?"
Chu Qiao directly grabbed the herbs from the fourth tray and questioned the two chefs coldly.
Wang Sanchuang and Zhou Lie looked at me and I looked at you, looking a little annoyed. In order to tease Chu Qiao, they grabbed some herbs from the pharmacy and put them in an empty tray. They wanted to know whether Li Chunxiang could
You can tell the difference. If you can't tell the difference, you will achieve the purpose of ridiculing this woman.
They never expected that Chu Qiao recognized it all at once and asked them what it was? What kind of herb it was? Wang Sanchuang was not familiar with it and didn't even read the name.
"No, isn't it spice?" Zhou Lie became a little nervous and asked in a low voice.
"This is Dragon Tiger Grass."
Chu Qiao directly said the name of the herb, which made Wang Sanchuang and Zhou Lie even more uneasy. They only said that Li Chunxiang's greatest skill was to identify whether it was a spice, but they did not expect that she could even identify the name of the herb.
Isn’t this woman so awesome?
Wang Sanchuang wiped his sweat and tried to deceive him.
"How is it possible? This was sent by the director of Shangshi. How could there be such a herb?"
"Then this is strange, the dragon tiger grass is poisonous? Can I think so, if it is not that Mr. Shangshi, the supervisor, made a mistake, it is because you deliberately..."
Before Chu Qiao could finish her words, Wang Sanchuan felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife and turned pale instantly.
"I told you to grab it casually, how did you get this poisonous herb?" Wang Sanchuang's eyes widened, and he did not dare to say that the herb in the fourth tray was sent by the director of Shangshi. The poisonous herb was in the
The dining room is a serious capital offense.
"I didn't have time to read the name... Even if I did, I wouldn't know that the herb is poisonous. I'm a cook, not an imperial doctor." Zhou Lie also shivered with fear.
Chu Qiao looked at the two chefs and couldn't help but snickered, then she said something in a low voice with a straight face.
"It seems that this matter will be left to Dali Temple."
"Chef Li, please spare your life." Wang Sanchuang and Zhou Lie knew that they were in trouble this time. The five spices were indeed sent by Xue Wanyue, the director of Shangshi, and the ones on the fourth tray were made by them to tease Li Chunxiang.
The matter of delivering it to Dali Temple became a big deal. Even if they said they were teasing Li Chunxiang, no one would believe it. After all, this was the dining room of the palace, not a place for joking. Who could believe their nonsense?
Poof, Wang Sanchuang knelt down to Chu Qiao first, and then Zhou Lie was also half shorter.
"Chef Chunxiang, please spare us. You have been promoted from a kitchen servant to a chef all of a sudden, which is higher than our level. We are not convinced. It just happened that the supervisor of Shangshi sent prairie spices and said that you will be useful. We
I was good at making my own decisions and decided to try to see if I could tell the difference. This herb was indeed picked up by Zhou Lie casually. Please forgive us, Chef Chunxiang, for the sake of our ignorance."
"Zhou Lie knows he is wrong. Chef Li, I have an old man above me and a young man below me. If I lose my head, how will my family live? Please, Chef Chunxiang, please don't remember the villain's fault and give us a way to survive."
"
Zhou Lie was also frightened. He wiped his sweat, suddenly hugged Chu Qiao's thigh, and cried until he burst into tears. His words were really pitiful and made people sympathize.
The chefs, helpers, and kitchen servants working around did not dare to speak. They all lowered their heads. They were all lazy at first, but now they want to use all their strength, for fear that some trouble will happen to them.
On the body.
Everyone is sweating now. Those who intend to despise or even go against Chu Qiao do not dare to make mistakes.
Chu Qiao put the herbs in the tray.
"There are palace rules in the palace. I will note this down for you two first. Why don't you send the herbs back to the imperial pharmacy immediately?"
