Chapter 211 Modern cuisine, the ancients cried
The emperor felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. This was something people came to thank Wei Zhong for, but he ended up eating it all.
"Ahem, next time, ask her to send an extra copy."
"Yes."
The next morning, Eunuch Wei was more thoughtful and sent a clever little eunuch to deliver the food box.
He also asked the young eunuch to explain what happened last night in a tactful way.
"It's just two food boxes, not worth much money, why bother to send them back specially?"
"It should be sent back. Eunuch Wei said it's unreasonable to take something while eating it."
"How's Eunuch Wei eating?"
"Eunuch Wei didn't eat a single bite, the whole thing went into His Majesty's mouth, and His Majesty praised it highly."
"Ah?" Su Yujiao was surprised.
So the young eunuch recounted the details of how the two little princesses entered the imperial study to deliver food.
Su Yujiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when she heard this.
"If you're not in a hurry to return to the palace to report, just wait a moment. The braised noodles in the pot will be cooked soon. It will be a big pot of rice for the children. I wonder if Eunuch Wei would mind it?"
The young eunuch waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, Eunuch Wei said that you are an excellent cook and you can make even cabbage and radish into something fancy."
Su Yujiao smiled without saying anything, turned and went into the kitchen, hoping not to burn the pot.
Near noon, the whole yard was filled with fragrance, and the little palace maid sent by the princess also arrived.
Su Yujiao wanted to laugh, feeling that her courtyard was almost becoming a royal kitchen.
"Auntie, wait a moment, I'll get it."
"Thank you, County Master."
Su Yujiao entered the room and brought out an 8+6 double-layer flower cake, wrapped in a transparent box and pink ribbon. It was particularly delicate and beautiful.
The young palace maid and the young eunuch's eyes lit up. They had never seen such beautiful pastries before. Are these really for people to eat?
After thanking her, the little palace maid carefully carried the cake away.
The young eunuch was so envious. If Eunuch Wei had a share, he would have had a taste too. Unfortunately, it was for the Queen.
Seeing the young eunuch's envious eyes, Su Yujiao said, "When the eunuch comes to deliver the food box tomorrow, I will make one for Eunuch Wei."
The young eunuch waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment: "I dare not trouble the county lady."
"No trouble."
She placed an order on her mobile phone, and the delivery man delivered the food to her door. She left the notes at the door and just opened the door to take it.
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, County Lady." The young eunuch hesitated for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to make the decision.
"The noodles are ready, please wait a moment, sir."
Soon, Hu Zi brought out a bowl of steamed pork and bean stewed noodles and handed it to Xiao Shunzi.
"Please use it, sir."
Xiao Shunzi was shocked: "For... for me?"
"Well, the county lady said that the father-in-law has been busy all morning, so he should go back after dinner."
"There will be seaweed egg drop soup later."
"Don't despise us, father-in-law. We are all orphans taken in by the county lady. There are many children in the courtyard, so we can't cook too finely. We all cook from the same pot."
Xiao Shunzi was so moved that he almost cried. How could he dislike the fact that the county lady cooked for him personally?
This is the supreme honor!
Enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life!
Woo woo woo, Eunuch Wei really gave him a good job.
Xiao Shunzi picked up the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls. Oh my god, it smells so good!
Why are these noodles different from the ones he has eaten before? Aren’t noodles always boiled?
The best noodles he had ever eaten were Yangchun noodles, which were nothing but bland clear soup noodles compared to this bowl of braised noodles.
Oh my god, this is actually a big pot meal. Whose big pot meal has meat and noodles and is so delicious?
It makes him want to be an orphan! !
Xiao Shunzi was moved and quickly ate the noodles, then drank a bowl of delicious seaweed egg drop soup.
Life is satisfying!
Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to delay. After eating, he left with two food boxes.
One box is for Eunuch Wei, and the other box is for the Emperor!
There will be fresh flowers and pastries to eat tomorrow. Hehe, he is willing to do this job for the rest of his life.
"Godfather, my son is back."
"The county lady asked her son to bring back braised noodles and egg drop soup."
Wei Zhong had never heard of these two things, and he immediately became excited.
While the emperor was still discussing state affairs with his ministers, Wei Zhong not only delayed him but also rushed in with a huge gust of wind.
Because I ate too fast, I almost tucked it in several times and drank some soup to smooth it over.
Well, it’s really enjoyable!
"Godfather, I'll be delivering a food box tomorrow. The county lady said she'd make you some flower cakes."
"When my son went to deliver the food box, he met the senior palace maid of Princess Qingwan. She went to get the cake, which was in a transparent box. It was so beautiful."
Eunuch Wei said sternly, "You bastard, how can you be so shameless that you don't even know how to refuse? I, your godfather, have become a beggar, and you still go there every day?"
Xiao Shunzi looked aggrieved: "My son declined, but the county lady insisted on giving it to him."
"The county lady is very nice, approachable, and sincere. She is not hypocritical. She is sincerely thankful to you, godfather."
"I know how much your godfather, I, have helped the county lady. It's just a relationship of a meal."
"If you go there every day to eat for free, that's shameless."
Xiao Shunzi looked embarrassed: "Then... will my son still go tomorrow?"
"The county lady has prepared everything. If I don't take it, wouldn't that be a breach of trust?"
"Go, go, bring some gifts with you, don't go empty-handed."
"What's appropriate to bring?"
"Go to the warehouse and look for a set of beautiful jewelry."
"Yes." Xiao Shunzi responded happily and ran away happily.
Eunuch Wei had just wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth when a group of officials came out.
Eunuch Wei then carried the food box and filed in with the people from the imperial kitchen.
After the people from the imperial kitchen served the food, Eunuch Wei also brought out the braised noodles, and specifically explained that it was sent by Su Yujiao.
The emperor looked at the noodles, which he had never eaten before. The golden color and fragrant aroma immediately increased his appetite.
The bowl of noodles was soon finished, and I even felt a little unsatisfied.
He didn't touch a single bite of the food from the imperial kitchen and took it out the same way it was brought in.
That afternoon, Su Yujiao received two rewards, one from the Queen and one from the Emperor, and both were generous.
Su Yujiao accepted everything on the request, which allowed her to improve the children's meals.
The next day, Xiao Shunzi arrived at the courtyard in the east of the city. Su Yujiao had already prepared two cakes.
So, Su Yujiao got a set of precious twelve jade headpieces, plus a gold necklace and a pair of gold bracelets.
Su Yujiao thought it was too valuable, and Xiao Shunzi put it down and ran away.
"Run slowly, be careful not to drop the cake."
"Don't worry, my lady, even if you drop the servant, you can't drop the cake."
Su Yujiao looked at the three gifts and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She didn't expect that just cooking a meal would bring her such an unexpected surprise.
She is considering starting a side business.
As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. Compared with Su Yujiao's joy, the second branch of the Lu family is in sorrow.
Today is the day Lu Meihua is buried. Wang fainted several times while holding her little daughter's body.
A while ago, Marquis Jing'an was sentenced to death along with his entire family for embezzling military rations.
Among them was the unfortunate Lu Meihua.
