Chapter 122 The little kitchen of the German concubine
"Then Niang didn't look good before?" Concubine De teased her.
"No, no, no, it's not. My mother-in-law used to be pretty, too." Wuge Ge waved his hands repeatedly, looking very anxious.
Concubine De and Chu Yu both laughed.
"Silly girl, I'm teasing you. Please sit down and have some tea." Chu Yu pulled Wuge and sat down.
Wugege sat down relieved after seeing the smiles of the two people, as long as Eniang wasn't really angry.
"Why did you come here so late today?" Concubine De asked.
"The emperor's grandmother has not had a good appetite recently. I stayed with her for a long time and saw her eating some porridge, so I felt relieved." Wuge frowned as she said this.
"The Queen Mother is not feeling well?" Concubine De asked hurriedly.
"The imperial doctor has seen her. She seems to be in good health, but she is older and has poor appetite." Wu Gege said.
Then Wugege and De Fei both looked at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu looked around and then said, "Why are E Niang and Fifth Sister looking at me?"
"Is there any way, Fourth Sister-in-law, to help the Imperial Grandmother eat more food? Yujue felt really bad when she saw the Imperial Grandmother unable to eat."
Chu Yu touched her nose and said to Wuge: "Why don't you give it a try? But I can't guarantee that the Queen Mother will be willing to eat it."
Wu Gege nodded happily and completely ignored her second sentence.
Then Chu Yu looked at Concubine De. Concubine De naturally had no objection and said, "Don't be too conspicuous. Just ask Yujue to deliver the dinner when it's ready."
The two of them agreed, and then Wu Gege took Chu Yu's hand and wanted to go out, "Mother, then let's go to the dining room?"
"Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? I'm discussing putting on makeup with the aunt next to E Niang, so I'll wait for a while." She couldn't laugh or cry.
After hearing this, Aunt Sun was even more afraid to say that she was blind, but Sifujin was really a very good person.
Only then did Wugege take a closer look. It turned out that Aunt Sun was still putting makeup on a palace maid. She must be practicing.
Chu Yu took this moment to give her a few more instructions, asking her to practice first, and then said to Concubine De: "Mother, Yu Jue and I should go to the kitchen first?"
Concubine De nodded and said: "Bring Tang Pozi to the two of them to avoid getting into trouble."
"Eniang, please wait for us in peace. My son and my fifth sister will go and give you the instructions and then come back. Let me make some snacks for you to try." Chu Yu saluted Concubine De.
Concubine De waved her hands and said with a smile: "Go quickly, I still dislike you for making trouble here."
Then Chu Yu and Wu Gege held hands and left, chattering along the way, looking like they were talking to the two little sisters.
After watching the two of them go out, Concubine De thought for a while and said, "Send someone to inform a few elder brothers that I asked them to come back and have dinner together." This daughter-in-law is a good one, and she should give it to her.
She creates opportunities.
Qiu Ju next to her said yes and went out.
Qianqing Palace
Emperor Kangxi was discussing matters with several adult princes.
Liang Jiugong's sharp eyes saw Liu Yugui waiting at the door at a glance.
Then he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Liu is here, but our Concubine De has something to say to Lord Long Live?"
When Liu Yugui saw that this was Liang Jiugong, he immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa Liang, please bear with me, our queen is asking my servant to come to the Fourth Master today."
Liang Jiugong glanced at him in surprise, then nodded with a smile and said: "Then, brother, just wait here for a while. The fourth masters have been in for a while, and they are probably going to be there soon. Don't go out, just call me brother.
." He looked very close.
Liu Yugui smiled respectfully and said sincerely: "Then there will be more Brother Liang." This top leader of the Qianqing Palace was really not too proud to offend.
Besides, Chu Yu's side was different from that of Wugege when he arrived at Concubine De's small kitchen. The concubine was in the concubine's position. Even the small kitchen was much larger than when Chu Yu was at the elder brother's house.
Chu Yu's reputation for food is really quite wide. Anyone who works as an errand in the Imperial Concubine Palace and doesn't know about Chu Yu would be a fool.
At this moment, the people in the small kitchen almost screamed with excitement when they saw Chu Yu.
Who doesn't know that the steward of the Imperial Kitchen wants to see Si Fujin in his dream?
As soon as Chu Yu entered the small kitchen, she was a little surprised to be surrounded by such enthusiasm, but she didn't think much about it, thinking that it was only after meeting the master that the small kitchen was like this.
At the moment, she had no intention of doing it herself, so she ordered Huang Hai, the eunuch in charge of the kitchen, to cook it.
Huang Hai joined the gang as soon as he got up, and he was a little excited that Chu Yu wanted to teach him personally.
He and Li Dashao were old rivals in the dining room, and they were always trying to compete with each other.
It's just that Emperor Kangxi took a fancy to Concubine De's diet, so he left it to him. He said that it seemed like he suffered a loss if he fell from the chef of the imperial kitchen to Concubine De's small kitchen. But he was still a smart man, and it was hard to follow a master like this. It's better than struggling alone in the dining room. Besides, his master is different from other masters. His presence here is the best proof, isn't it?
And today, they actually saw Si Fujin. Huang Hai couldn't help but be excited, and then various snacks, snacks and tea were delivered to Chu Yu and Wuge Ge's tables.
Both of them were surprised by Huang Hai's enthusiasm. Chu Yu nodded and smiled, while Wuge frowned. She really didn't like a slave like this who was so used to flattering others.
Chu Yu first made a list and asked him to prepare the ingredients. Chicken, duck, and fish were all available, but he asked him to prepare some hawthorn, green plum, radish, and the like. Then there were some small molds for making pastries.
Huang Hai took the list, then looked at it carefully, and said: "Sifujin, I have all the things you mentioned. I will be all over soon. I just have to wait a while."
Chu Yu nodded and asked him to go about his business, then took a sip of the tea.
Wuge Ge next to him looked at Huang Hai's back and said worriedly: "Sister-in-law Fourth, this servant seems to be a man who is used to doing things in secret camps. Can people feel at ease if I leave this food to him?"
Chu Yu patted her hand and said, "Silly girl, this person is someone who can do good things and is very careful."
Seeing her puzzled look, Chu Yu added: "First of all, the food he prepared is all exquisite, small, and steaming hot. There is the osmanthus crystal cake that you like to eat, and there is also the osmanthus crystal cake that I like to eat. The Poria Cake and tea were prepared with great care. Instead of serving the usual tea, they served ginger sugar tea and honey orange water. This shows that they were very careful." After a while, I knew how to serve her ginger sugar tea, and I thought about it. He is extremely smart and resourceful.
"Fourth sister-in-law, doesn't this mean that this person is more of a manipulative person?" Wu Gege's eyebrows furrowed more and more as she listened.
"Because of this, he should be able to do this well. Yujue, I have a personal opinion. I think Fourth Sister-in-law, a respectful slave can do it with ease, but most people can do it, as long as Just follow the master's instructions. But people who work hard like this should be given a chance, right?" After she finished speaking, she took a bite of the snack on the table. Seeing the look of enjoyment, she knew it was delicious.
Wugege, on the other hand, listened to Chu Yu's words and said nothing, falling into deep thought.
