Shangguan Yu looked at the white solid piece in front of her that she couldn't name, and was silent for a while before speaking out:
"What's this?"
"Go back to your wife, this is soap. If you use this washing cloth, it will be cleaner."
"Yeah?"
Shangguan Yu doubtfully took the Yizi over and rubbed it on the rag a few times. Sure enough, the originally dirty rag became extremely clean in an instant.
"This thing is really good."
This was the first time she discovered that the things used by the ancients were quite good, environmentally friendly and not harmful to hands. The most important thing was that the washing effect was pretty good.
She looked repeatedly at the strange thing in her hand with some admiration.
After tinkering in the royal kitchen for a long time, before I knew it, it was time to prepare dinner.
"Mother, this is the rice for today's meal."
Another eunuch in the imperial dining room brought a basin of rice to Shangguan Yu. Worried that Shangguan Yu didn't know how to do these chores, he worriedly warned:
"Your Majesty, this rice must be washed before being put into the pot, otherwise the emperor will blame you and you will suffer again."
"Oh, I know, I know, you go down and do your work, I will leave this place to you."
Seeing Shangguan Yu's confident look, although the servants were still not at ease, they still obediently went about their business at hand.
"These people are really just washing rice, and they are worried that I can't wash it clean..."
Shangguan Yu muttered while sitting on the stool while washing the rice with his good hand.
"But then again, the stinky emperor must be thinking of ways to make things difficult for me. If the rice is not washed clean, he might really think of other ways to punish me."
After she muttered to herself, her eyes suddenly lit up and she looked towards the pan on the stove that she had not finished yet. Then she stood up with a smile on her face——
"Wouldn't it be better to put some of this in to clean it?"
After she stirred the gourd in the rice basin several times, she began to stir the rice with her hands. When it was almost done, she started to order people to light a fire in the stove to cook.
It has to be said that the people in the palace really know how to enjoy themselves, and they almost moved the entire vegetable market here just for one meal.
Fortunately, there are many people who can do it, but the key is...she doesn't know how to do it.
After standing in front of the stove in silence for a long time, the servants saw that she had not yet taken action, so they reminded her:
"Mother, do you...do you have any questions?"
"No problem, what's wrong with cooking a meal?"
Shangguan Yu shook his head, ordered his people to roll up his sleeves, and said:
"When the rice is cooked, I can start cooking."
"ah?"
The servants were a little surprised. Doesn’t the Queen know how to cook and stir-fry at the same time?
Facing the confused looks in his servants' eyes, Shangguan Yu didn't pay attention, but said to one of the servants:
"Go and beat some eggs, mix them and put them here, and you guys, chop the meat, vegetables, etc. into fine pieces..."
After she gave her instructions one by one, the servants didn't know what she was going to do. They just looked at her with puzzled eyes and then followed her instructions.
After everything was ready, Shangguan Yu walked to the stove, poured half a barrel of oil into the pot, put the ingredients prepared for her by the servants into the pot, and stir-fried with her right hand.
