Shangshi female official

Chapter 37 Lotus Leaf Pimple Soup 1
"He's a good looking guy."

"Dr. Du is a doctor, so naturally he should be merciful and save people everywhere. The nanny said he is a good person. Isn't that what he should do?"

"Facing such a good man, why are you panicking?"

"Me? I don't panic..."

Wang Yifu was like a thousand-year-old goblin showing her original form in front of the Taishang Laojun, she didn't dare to move or speak too much.

"Otherwise, you don't want to enter the palace. In my opinion, it's a good thing to talk about marriage."

What Grandma Chen said made Wang Yifu's brain roar with thunder, she hurriedly knelt down and said anxiously: "Mommy, Efu finally entered the palace, you can't leave Efu behind."

Nanny Chen stared at the back of her head for a while, before saying, "Get up, just joking, how can you take it seriously."

Wang Yifu was almost sent away by Nanny Chen's two sentences. She had not passed the examination of Shangshi Bureau. Nanny Chen was her only life-saving straw in the palace. If she had to think about it again, she might miss the palace up.

Nanny Chen was somewhat speculative and skeptical about Wang Yifu, she turned her head and walked into the house, asking as she walked, "Have you thought it through?"

"What is Mammy asking? Is it about going to Shangshi Bureau?"

After entering the house, there was a large table in the east ear room, surrounded by several chairs, and various tea sets were already set on the table. Nanny Chen went to sit and motioned for Wang Yifu to sit opposite.

After the two sat down, Nanny Chen began to handle the tea set on the table. The pottery stove beside it was warming with hot water. She picked up the tea tongs to take the tea and rinsed the tea set.

"If you want to enter the palace, you must prove your innocence for your mother and Yan Shu. You must provide evidence for everything, not to mention the old things. They have been gone for so many years. How can you convince the emperor?"

"I'm not going to hide this from my mother. I still have to go to the palace to search for many evidences."

"Go to the palace to look for it? It's been so many years, where can I look for it?"

"Mother Yan said that the imperial physician who took my mother's pulse back then was unwilling to lie, that's why he was murdered. The imperial physician left some medical records in the palace."

Nanny Chen's face became more solemn, and she sighed softly. From her expression, Wang Yifu could also see that the evidence was not strong, and she had to work hard to find it, and it was very likely that the gain outweighed the loss.

"Aside from medical records, is there anything else?"

"Mother Yan said that my mother was imprisoned because there were too many people who gave false testimony around her. If she wanted more evidence, she would have to make them reflect and repent..."

Nanny Chen said angrily: "Yan Shu has suffered such a big change, is she still so naive? If they really have the heart to repent, they won't sit firmly in the high court today and get away with it."

Wang Yifu lowered her head, seeming to agree with what Nanny Chen said, and she didn't dare to disobey what Madam Chen said.

"Forget it, let's go and see. You entered the palace with me, and you will inevitably suffer some grievances in Shangshi Bureau. I hope you understand."

"Efu understands that Mammy has helped Eve too much, and Eve will never cause trouble to Mammy."

"You're a good boy. There are many things in the palace. I'm sure I won't be able to take care of them so thoroughly. You have to be more careful about many things. There's really nothing you can do about it. You don't have to hide and be bored. Just tell me."

"Yes, Mammy."

"Have a cup of tea and pack your things."

Wang Yifu helped Nanny Chen pack up the things that went into the palace, and tidied them up, but found that Nanny Chen didn't have much jewelry, clothes, etc., but some knives and molds that she had never seen before were packed upside down in two boxes .

She picked up a silver strip that was three fingers thick and one cubit long, with engraved lotus leaves from small to large, as well as plum blossoms and peony bundles.

Seeing her curiosity, Mother Chen introduced: "This is for making small lump soup. Knead the dough well, pinch a dose and push it on the pattern to form a small lump. If you add some spinach juice, purple potato juice, pumpkin juice kneading dough, the resulting pimple soup is colorful and looks pretty."

"Ma'am, can I make one today?"

"Take it away if you like it. I haven't used this thing for many years, and it still accumulates dust here. There are still some mooncake molds and various seals in it. You can also choose."

Although Wang Yifu was interested, she was too embarrassed to take more. She raised the mold in her hand and said, "This is enough."

Helped Nanny Chen to collect things all afternoon, and in the evening, a little eunuch from the palace came to carry the boxes, and Nanny Chen would leave the Inner Jiaofang to go to the palace tomorrow, according to the rules, Wang Yifu should be with Nanny Zhou Follow Nanny Chen into the palace.

Nanny Chen specially asked Wang Yifu and Shen Ci to go in together as maids of the Shangshi Bureau, and cooking skills should be the most important thing.

After the eunuchs left, Nanny Chen had to have dinner with her colleagues in Neijiaofang. Wang Yifu resigned automatically, and then rushed to Xu Xinyan's place excitedly, asking Shen Ci and Xu Xinyan to eat pimple soup. Xu Xinyan was wondering what the pimple soup was It was a novelty, before she could ask, Wang Yifu had disappeared, and happily went to the training ground to test the molds.

She boiled a little broth, picked the spinach juice and kneaded the dough, and pressed the kneaded dough into small lotus leaves the size of a thumb. She boiled the lotus leaves and put the soup into a bowl .

Looking at the bowl of small lotus leaves, she always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, she ran outside the hall with a flash of divine light. Looking at the flowers in full bloom in spring, Wang Yifu also felt the vitality, and picked two pink roses.

Back in the temple, I washed the roses, picked off some petals, cut them along the edge of the petals, cut them into lotus shapes, put them on the soup, and it was all right this time.

Coincidentally, Xu Xinyan and Shen Ci also came, and she carefully served two bowls of pimple soup.

Xu Xinyan took the hand, held it in his hand and looked dumbfounded, "Is this the pimple soup you mentioned? It's so beautiful, I dare not say anything."

In these two bowls of pimple soup, there is a "lotus flower" with a faint aroma in the center, and green lotus leaves are floating around the "lotus flower", and the lines of the meridians on the lotus leaves are clearly visible.

Although Shen Ci was surprised, she was more out of curiosity, she could tell at a glance that the flower was picked and cut, but she didn't know what kind of method it was for the lotus leaf.

"How did you make this lotus leaf? If you didn't have half a day's work, how could you carve it so finely?"

Wang Yifu ran back to the case table, gave Shen Ci the mold she took out from Nanny Chen, and said, "I saw this when I was packing up Nanny Chen, and Nanny Chen gave it to me."

Shen Ci took it over and took a closer look, the mold was silver, it felt a bit heavy in the hand, but it was really heavy, and besides the lotus leaves, there were all kinds of patterns on it, and the carvings were quite detailed.

"With this thing, how much work will be saved in the white case."

Wang Yifu smiled, pointed to the pattern on it and said: "The key is to press it out to look good. I used this lotus leaf. My mother said that if I knead the dough with more juices and make colorful ones, it will definitely look better."
