He waited for a long time before Song Qingyue said anything more.

Of course Song Qingyue would not reward them, let alone this Eunuch Yang.

If you don't know who belongs to the boss, you should beat and beat!

Who made them new clothes, arranged for them to take turns, and gave them the opportunity to study?

How dare he please his concubine in front of her face? It's a shame.

Today is Li Qiushui, she doesn't mind.

What about later?

Whoever comes in again, they want to please others in front of her?
Eunuch Yang stood by and laughed with him until the meal was over, and he didn't wait for the reward. The Concubine Shi Zi didn't even look at her after eating, or give her another compliment.

But today, every dish has been carefully thought out!
Back in the kitchen, Eunuch Yang told the big guys that they were all disappointed, only two cooks who made Huaiyang cuisine won the reward, and they had nothing to do with themselves.

They were specially invited to take care of the princess's bland taste, and they didn't need to think about other people at all.

Eunuch Yang looked at Xiaozao, the maid who was doing well in the monthly exam in the literacy class, and asked, "Zao, do you think the imperial concubine is unhappy?"

Xiaozao looked at Eunuch Yang with eyes like a fool, "You know that the concubine is not happy! You are flattering that Miss Li in front of the concubine. It is a ghost that the concubine is happy! The concubine puts the dowry Everyone has heard of the two big warehouses in the city, right? What does Miss Li have? Nothing! Even if she is favored, what can she reward you? I really can't think about it, I have to please that one."

Eunuch Yang was startled, and said puzzled: "But I see that the Shizi Concubine and Miss Li have a very good relationship. The day before yesterday, Mo Ping took Miss Li out to go shopping."

"It's not your turn to curry favor with her! It's Shi Zifei's business to make friends with Miss Li. If you want to be kind, it's Shi Zifei's favor. What does it matter to us? Don't forget who pays for us. "

Eunuch Yang is still hesitant. She has been working in the palace since the prince built it, and she still thinks that whoever is favored should please him.

Xiao Zao said: "Elder-in-law, don't be fooled. Since the concubine married, His Royal Highness has been taking care of the affairs of the backyard. Since when did he take care of the affairs of the backyard? Our concubine's style is very different from that of ordinary wives, even more so than the concubine. It's completely different. You have to continue your previous style, I'm afraid the position of the East Road kitchen manager will soon be changed."

One sentence scared Eunuch Yang to his wits, and he muttered in a low voice: "Zao, why don't you remind me."

Xiaozao chuckled twice, "I told you, father-in-law, will you listen?"

Eunuch Yang couldn't hold back his face, he touched his nose and went out with his hands behind his back.

In the evening, A Qing, who was serving at the Wangyue Pavilion, came to the kitchen to mention Li Qiushui's dinner.

Dinner was prepared and placed in a four-layer square lacquer box.

She opened the lacquer box and checked, and was surprised to find that tonight's food had suddenly changed a bit.

"Why are you so vegetarian tonight?" Ah Qing asked in surprise.

Xiaozao lowered her head to wash the toon heads. I heard that the imperial concubine likes toon scrambled eggs. This is the last crop of toon heads this year, and it will be gone any later.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Ah Qing patted on the door and fed her: "Is anyone there? Is there a mistake in the dishes at Wangyue Pavilion tonight? Is it so vegetarian?"

Xiaozao looked up and looked around, but no one was there.

Eunuch Yang was not there, and neither were the others, she was the only one left in the kitchen, and Xiao Zao was really annoyed by the cunning people in the kitchen.

She responded, took her hand out of the sink, shook it twice, wiped it on the front and back of the apron, stood up, and said with a look of confusion, "Really? Let me see."

She went around the stove, walked over, lifted the lid of the lacquer box, and said in a very puzzled way: "This is not vegetarian, two meat and two vegetables, look at this fried eggplant with sliced ​​meat, it is considered a vegetarian dish for you, according to Tongfang's standards , there are too many."

Ah Qing was not convinced: "But a few days ago..."

"A few days ago was a few days ago, and today is today." Xiao Zao interrupted her, "They all came according to the rules."

"But our Miss Li is from the northwest!" Ah Qing emphasized.

Xiao Zao scratched his head and saw that there was still a pot of lotus seed soup hot on the stove, so he said, "How about I give you girls another bowl of lotus seed soup in syrup?"

In this era when the products are not abundant, especially in the north, lotus seeds are not something that everyone can eat, and they can be regarded as precious goods.

It's just that this year's new lotus seeds haven't grown yet, and the current lotus seeds are old goods from last year, and the masters don't eat them, so they are cooked in the kitchen for a few big maids or stewards who are embarrassed of.

Ah Qing pursed his lips, glanced at Xiaozao's name tag with displeasure, and said, "Your name is Xiaozao, right?"

"Yes, my name is Xiaozao." Xiaozao laughed, "Haven't you heard my name? I have won several awards in the literacy class in the main courtyard." She raised her hand to rest her head The beautiful gold-studded jade hairpin reveals the jade bracelet on the wrist, the neck is turned slightly, and the two glazed earrings hanging on the earlobe flicker, shining brightly.

Ah Qing stared at Xiaozao's bracelet, earrings and gold hairpin, swallowed enviously and unconvincedly, but didn't dare to say anything else, but unhappily mentioned the four-story gold-painted red lacquer box, and flipped through it. He walked out with a blank eye, muttering in his mouth: "Let's wait and see, our Miss Li is favored, and I will ask His Royal Highness to come down to clean up you in the future!"

Xiaozao frowned, thinking what kind of person this is, Nanny Bai is real, how could such a person be sent to serve that person in Wangyue Pavilion, maybe one day he would offend His Royal Highness.

Really.

In Wangyue Pavilion, Li Qiushui didn't think there was anything special when he saw the vegetables and rice. The two meats were oily chicken and stewed mutton with potatoes, and the two vegetarian dishes were sliced ​​meat fried eggplant and cabbage with abalone sauce. It could be seen that the chef made them with care. At least it was better than when she was a dancer and when she was in General Xu's mansion.

There is also a bowl of sweet lotus seed soup!

She didn't understand why Ah Qing was unhappy.

"Eat it quickly, this braised chicken is really delicious, try it quickly." Li Qiushui always ate with A Qing when he ate.

Originally, Tong Fang was still a servant girl, and there was no difference in status from Ah Qing.Li Qiushui has been serving others since he was born, he has never been served by others, and he doesn't know how to be someone else's master.

"What is this?" She picked up something that looked like a cow louver.

"This is dried bamboo shoots." A Qing looked at Li Qiushui with some contempt, "Why, haven't you seen it?"

Li Qiushui shook his head, "I know about the bamboo shoots, but we don't have bamboos there, and I haven't seen bamboo shoots before."

"Then you really don't know much about it." Ah Qing ate the rice with a big mouthful.
