"Who asked you to go to the sword mountain and fry the pan? Find a way to help me get a book on the royal kitchen. I want to learn a little bit and join the royal kitchen as a cook." Chu Qiao said in a low voice.
"this……"
The big man found it a bit difficult and looked back at the little man, who also shook his head.
"Although the royal dining room of the palace has all the delicacies from all over the world, I have never seen it before." The little man shook his head.
Not even?
"You also said that you can't do such a trivial matter as going up to the mountain of swords or getting off the oil pan. Go, go. Don't tell me that you know me, Li Chunxiang." Chu Qiao waved her hand. Since they couldn't find the book, they had to think about it.
Another way is to learn the skills from the imperial chef in the imperial dining room... But this seems a bit difficult.
The big man scratched his hair, suddenly thought of something and whispered.
"We don't have a book, but a living person has one."
"I want to learn cooking skills, what do you do with a living person?" Chu Qiao asked strangely.
"This is a living book, but...Sister Chunxiang, can you tolerate your weird temper?" the big man asked.
"Weird temper? I can tolerate it."
Now that Chu Qiao is said to have a weird temper, even if she is crazy, she can tolerate it. As long as she is allowed to learn cooking skills and achieve her goals, she can do anything.
The big man chuckled and his voice became even lower.
"In the palace, I had an uncle who was the late emperor's most satisfied chef. His skills were amazing and he was once known as the golden cook in the palace."
"real or fake?"
Chu Qiao looked at the big man. If he had such a powerful chef uncle, why would he still carry water here? The big man said this, not to make her happy, right?
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Because of his good craftsmanship, my uncle was arrogant and offended many people. After the death of the late emperor, he spoke out again and offended the prince. He was dismissed as the royal cook. He is nothing.
He was about to be kicked out of the palace, but the Empress Dowager remembered that he had served the late emperor for many years, so she pardoned him and allowed him to stay in the palace to retire. No... my nephew was also unlucky. He originally had a bright future, but as an uncle, he only
I can now work as a water boy."
"Your uncle is in the palace?" Chu Qiao was delighted. If she could learn from the imperial chef, it would be better than reading a book.
"He is in a ruined house in the palace. He was sane a few years ago, but now he seems to be crazy and keeps cursing people. If you don't like it, why don't you give it a try?" the big man said.
"Try...Okay, I'll try."
Chu Qiao nodded. The big guy was very happy to see that he had helped Chunxiang. He said that he would wait for the evening. He was done with his work and was going to see his uncle. By the way, he would take Chu Qiao with him.
The big man and the little man left happily, and Chu Qiao continued to sweep the floor with great hope. After sweeping the floor, she walked to the door of the dining room and wiped the door again and again, but she glanced inside to see a meal.
The palace ladies are washing and picking vegetables, and there is also a vegetable cutter.
"Excuse me, excuse me, don't you girl have eyes?"
Just when Chu Qiao was looking at it, there was a shouting sound behind her, and then the smell of raw beef hit her nostrils.
Chu Qiao quickly opened the door and stood aside. Two large eunuchs carried a large piece of beef through the door. They placed the beef on the case and kept wiping their sweat.
"As soon as this beef comes, the best loin meat, the emperor will order it to be cut off at Chonghua Palace. Even though this little prince is only eight years old, he is the best at eating beef in the palace."
"I heard that the prince is ill this time. The emperor goes to Chonghua Palace every day. The prince has no appetite, but he only likes to eat the meat from the waist."
The two eunuchs put the beef down while talking. Several palace maids came over to cut it and clean it. Chu Qiao secretly looked at it with a rag. The sick prince? Could it be the seventh prince?
