Ji Ling said "Imperial Dining Room". Qixi was startled for a moment and glanced at Ji Ling worriedly, thinking that Chang Zai was sick and confused. Ji Ling felt guilty and avoided Qixi's confused gaze.
When Qixi left the house, Ji Ling closed her eyes and tried hard to recall the original owner's memories before she remembered: there was more than one dining room in the Qing palace.
The imperial kitchen would not open its door to her even a small promise.
In the Forbidden City, every concubine's palace has a dining room. Depending on the rank of the empress, the size of the dining room and the level and qualifications of the cooks also vary.
For example, in the dining room of Queen Kunning Palace, a meal can cost up to fifty taels of silver, and the tableware used is made of gold and silver. As for the concubines, they can only have a meal of ten taels of silver, and the tableware is made of precious ceramics.
, the noble man has five taels of food expenses, not to mention Chang Zai below, so he agreed.
All in all, the lower the status of the concubine, the smaller the dining room and the fewer dishes. As for Changzai like Ji Ling, living in the west room of Jingyang Palace, naturally it is impossible to enjoy the treatment of a separate dining room.
To enjoy it, you can only enjoy it if you are the lord of the first house.
In fact, there is a dining room in Jingyang Palace, but the main lady is not favored by concubines. In addition, she has been chanting Buddha for many years, so the dining room is not large. The cook is old and only cooks vegetarian dishes, not meat and fish, and only eats food for people.
The gluttons also starved to death.
Every time Hai Guiren had a meal, he had people take food from Concubine Qi's Changchun Palace dining room. In fact, Jingyang Palace belongs to the East Sixth Palace, Changchun Palace belongs to the West Sixth Palace, and there is Kunning Palace in between. They are not close.
But Concubine Qi had a lively temperament. In the whole Forbidden City, the dining room of Changchun Palace was the only one where the nobles could enjoy their meal. So the people around Ji Chang followed suit and went to the dining room of Changchun Palace to get food.
meal.
Let’s go back to the imperial dining room.
In fact, the two imperial dining rooms in the Forbidden City only served the emperor alone: one was called the outer imperial dining room, which was located outside Jingyun Gate. It not only prepared Manchu and Han banquets, but also sometimes prepared dinner and late-night snacks for the ministers on duty at the emperor's instruction.
Used to express the emperor's concern for his ministers,
The other place is next to the "Yangxin Hall" and is called the "Inner Imperial Dining Room", also known as the "Yangxin Hall Imperial Dining Room". It is divided into five parts: the meat bureau, the vegetarian bureau, the hanging stove bureau, the dim sum bureau, and the dinner bureau.
The meat bureau is responsible for cooking meat dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, and seafood; the vegetarian bureau is in charge of all kinds of vegetables; the hanging oven bureau is in charge of grilled and grilled dishes; the snack bureau is in charge of steamed buns, dumplings, sesame cakes, cakes, and unique pastries in the palace.
etc.; in the dining room, the person in charge is in charge of porridge, rice...
Ji Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva: She couldn't think about it anymore! As long as Qixi could bring back some meat and vegetables in a while, she would be satisfied.
I especially want to eat meat.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ji Ling ordered his servants to bring in hot water.
Bixue took two young eunuchs, one prepared firewood and the other boiled water. The slaves were very happy to see Chang Zai getting better.
After fussing for a while, the hot water was boiled and brought in in a wooden barrel. The steam filled the whole room with warmth.
Ji Ling asked Bixue to take a mirror and look at her face, and then she realized that the appearance of the original owner was really ordinary. Such a face, if placed on the street, could barely be considered "upright and comely", but if placed in the Forbidden City,
I'm afraid he'll be wiped out in a matter of seconds.
Ji Ling was really not used to having people take a bath, so she kicked Bixue out. She closed the door, untied her clothes, scrubbed her body three or four times with a hot towel, and washed her face. She felt very tired and her body was a little supported.
Unable to hold on anymore, he called Bixue to come in and help him change into clean clothes.
Ji Changzai's wardrobe is really shabby. Apart from the simple daily changes of clothes, there are only three sets of clothes available, one of which has been washed and faded, and two sets of dark green ones, both of which are very beautiful.
Old-fashioned. I'm afraid all the powerful maids around the concubine are better dressed than this.
Ji Ling sighed and could only choose a dark green one. Then he sat in front of the window and asked Bixue to help him comb his hair with the simplest one-headed hair. Before he could comb it, Qixi came back.
The food box Qixi brought back has two layers. The first layer contains two meat and two vegetables. The vegetarian dish is a dish of white jade tofu and a dish of jade green vegetable soup. The meat dish is a stir-fried mutton with lily and a dish of stewed duck with ham.
When Ji Ling mentioned chopsticks, he had a meal. The duck stewed with ham was particularly good. The ham was delicious and salty, and the duck meat was stewed to a pulp. The sweet marinade was soaked into the ham, and it was also served with some tender meat.
Bamboo shoot slices are used to remove the fishy smell, and the combination of the three is simply delicious.
Ji Ling finished eating quickly and almost choked. Qixi quickly poured some vegetable soup for her to drink. Then she opened the second layer of the food box: there were three pastries inside.
While taking it out, Qixi began to tell the names of the dishes: "Chang Zai, this one is the Golden Thread Ruyi High Crisp, this one is the red bean cake, and this one is the first-grade cake." Fragrant sesame seeds are dotted on the dough of the shortbread.
The sweet osmanthus is steaming, and some are even covered with candy wrappers.
The food at Changchun Palace is really not bad!
Ji Ling looked at Xiao Fenzi and Xiao Dazi who were swallowing saliva outside the room, and waved his hands generously: "Take them all, and you four can share them. Everyone has worked hard."
Xiao Fenzi and Xiao Dazi knelt down with a plop, and their voices almost brought down the roof: "Minions Xie Changzai!".
Qixi also smiled, watching Bixue take the snacks and distribute them to them, but she didn't move.
Ji Ling looked up, a little strange: "Why don't you go and eat?".
Qixi avoided her eyes and said, "I'm not hungry. I'm always serving you meals."
Ji Ling put down her chopsticks, leaned back, and looked at her with bright eyes: "You want to save food for them? Are you afraid that I don't have enough money?".
Qixi moved her lips and looked at Ji Ling silently.
Ji Ling pursed her lips, with no expression on her face, and said calmly, "Go and eat."
This was the tone of a master giving orders to his slaves. Qixi did not dare to disobey and turned around.
Several servants saw her coming and quickly gave up their seats to her. They said with a smile: "If Sister Qixi doesn't come, we won't dare to start eating!" Qixi forced a smile, said nothing, took a piece of Yipin cake and brought it in.
In his mouth, he chewed silently with his eyes lowered.
She thought: Where did Chang Zai's money come from? Could it be the money she had hidden in the past? If that was the case, why didn't she give it to the imperial doctor when she was so seriously ill?
If this is really the case, then the master is so stupid that he wants money rather than his life. Now that he wakes up after sleeping for a few days, it seems that he has changed his nature and is so generous with money!
But no matter how much money she has, she probably won't exceed one hundred taels at most. If she spends five taels of silver like this one meal at a time, she can only eat twenty good meals at most.
And after that?
Sometimes, silver coins are like this. If you spend a little in the east and a little in the west, it may seem that each expense is not big, but it adds up to a lot. Similarly, if you pay attention to everything in the palace, you can save money here.
A little, save a little here, and slowly add up, and when you gather the money, you can do big things.
You still have to think of ways to persuade your master. If you really have some money, you should get together and find a way.
Jingyang Palace has always been like a cold palace in the past. The emperor only came here twice a year. Even when he came, he only visited his concubines and sat and reminisced about the past.
But after all, Mao Bi was an old man who had followed the fourth master in the dormitory, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs still took care of her. Although the cost of food and clothing was not comparable to that of the Empress and Concubine Hua, it was definitely not bad.
But since last year's draft, the beautiful Hai Guiren was the top one, and he and Ji Chang were assigned to the east and west wings of Jingyang Palace, living with Mao Bin, so the emperor came to Jingyang Palace a little more often.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs also followed suit. Whatever good materials and jewelry were allocated to Jingyang Palace, they never forgot to leave a share for Hai Gui. Sometimes, Hai Gui could get the jewelry that even Mao Bin did not have.
have.
To put it seriously, this is transgression.
However, Mr. Hai has a temper that he doesn't know how to restrain. He wears good clothes and jewelry all day long to show off. If it weren't for Empress Mao who eats fast and chants Buddha's name, she is recognized by everyone as a good old man who has nothing to do with the world. I'm afraid that in this Jingyang Palace
There's going to be a good show.
After all, Mr. Hai is young and beautiful, and there is still a long way to go. Especially with his almond-shaped eyes, which are watery and affectionate, he has a bit of the mood of the Concubine Nian when she was young.
Qixi thought of this, and her heart tightened: with beautiful jade by her side, Chang Zai and mediocre qualifications, it seems impossible to rely on Mao concubine to promote her, not to mention that Long live the Lord has come several times, and every time
I sat at Maobi's place and had a meal, and all the noble people in the sea looked at me with eager eyes!
You can think about whether there is any way to get closer to Concubine Qi in Changchun Palace! Concubine Qi, Li Shi, like Mao Bi, is a senior figure around Long live the Lord. She was very favored in the early years and had children. Although she is not as good as her now.
In the past, if there was a child after all, Banzai Ye would often visit her.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It can be considered as a supporter. Maybe God will take pity on you and take refuge with Concubine Qi, and you will still have a chance to get close to Long Live Lord!
As for Yikun Palace... Concubine Hua is facing Gao Zhi, I can't even think about it!
Qixi thought about it in her mind for a while and made up her mind: no matter what, she would persuade Chang Zai earnestly and save her money to maximize its effectiveness.
She turned around and entered the room, only to see Ji Ling lying on the bed and sleeping with a calm expression on her face. She was breathing deeply, and she was obviously fast asleep.
Qixi had no choice but to swallow the words that were already on her lips.
In his dreamland, Ji Ling entered the mysterious space warehouse again.
This time, she was going to take out a little more silver. However, when she reached into the small jar under the shelf, she found that the jar was empty.
Except for the twenty taels of silver she took yesterday, there is nothing left in the jar!
It was like a bolt from the blue! Ji Ling froze in front of the shelf, feeling the cold sweat on her palms gradually break out.
She always thought that the mysterious space God had given her would be inexhaustible.
what to do?
Wait! Aren’t there still three shelves that haven’t been opened?
Ji Ling's eyes lit up and she quickly opened the remaining three containers. She was stunned the moment she opened them.
I saw that the remaining containers were densely packed with various big-name lipsticks, lip glazes, lip glosses, blushes, eye shadows, liquid foundations, eyeliners, mascara, highlights, shadows, concealers, makeup setting sprays...
There is also a container full of all kinds of makeup brushes, and there are about a dozen black professional makeup artist brush bags, some of which are fastened to the waist, and some of which are in the style of small boxes that can be carried in your hands.
The last container contained a variety of glass bottles and jars. Ji Ling took a closer look and discovered that they contained various cosmetic raw materials, some for making cosmetics and some for making skin care products.
It is almost exactly the same as the room she used to live in as a beauty blogger before she traveled through time.
Thank God!
Ji Ling was so blessed that he immediately reached out and picked out a few lipsticks, a few blushers, a few eyebrow pencils, and mascara. He also grabbed the simplest brush bag and picked out a foundation brush, a powder brush, and a trimming brush.
I put a brush and an eye blending brush into my bag, grabbed a bottle of calming spray from a certain French brand, and quickly exited the space.
