Shangshi female official

Chapter 39 White Porridge 1
The palace that Mama Yan talked about was different from the court that her mother said. The palace that Mama Yan said was warm yellow, a place with brilliant memories, and her pride.

From Changgeng Gate to the south along the long house on the west palace wall, they arrived at their final foothold, the Royal Wine Room.

"This is the imperial wine room of the Shangshan Supervisor. There is a cellar belonging to Si Yunsi. From here to the south is the Shangshan Supervisor, and to the east is the Hall of Martial Arts. , you also have to recognize clearly.

After Guan Dianshan finished speaking, their road to recognize their family was over. The palace was too big, and they had to take a detour. When they got here, the sky was already dark.

"Go back to rest well at night, and you will get the imperial dining room at Yinshi tomorrow morning, and prepare meals for the masters."

Usually they arrive at the Inner Jiaofang at [-]:[-], but now they have to be an hour earlier, the girls complained endlessly, Guan Dianshan scolded directly with a straight face: "If you don't want to do it, let's go out now with the burden."

In a word, no one dared to speak anymore.

Shangshi Bureau is really much stricter than Neijiaofang.

In the early morning of the next day, it was dark, and these newcomers went to the servants in the imperial dining room. The oil lamps embedded in the palace wall of the imperial dining room were all lit, but the lighting was not very useful.

There is a big house facing north and south, and there are two rooms on the left and right. There is a door next to the big house, and there is a long alley beside the door, and people come in and out from time to time.

They gathered in the center of the three big rooms, most of them were still yawning, only to see a woman wearing a blue official gown, with her hair tied up and wearing a copper hair crown, walked up to a large group of them energetically, admonishing them. Said: "Yawning early in the morning, you are too useless."

Seeing the woman, Guan Dianshan first bowed to salute, stepped aside, and then said: "Master Si Shan, these are the people who were selected by the empress three years ago to enter the inner teaching workshop. Now they have completed their studies and entered the palace, waiting for you to dispatch them .”

The Master Caterer glanced at everyone, and said: "Listen, I am one of the Caterers of Shangshi Bureau, and my surname is Ruan.

The imperial dining room has many rules, and it is busier than other places. Where you are standing now, you are not allowed to enter or leave the three big houses around. This is a dining room specially prepared for the emperor. Except for a fixed number of thirty or so people, no one is allowed to enter. Also not allowed to come in.

Behind the door next to it is a long room, which is a place for the concubines and the emperor's heirs to cook. There are all kitchen utensils inside. It is basically a group of three people in a stove. Who washes, who cuts, and who cooks Everything you do is recorded.

The emperor’s diet is controlled by two chefs, the empress’s diet is supervised by the secretary’s diet and the standard diet, and the imperial concubine Li’s wife is also responsible for the diet of the prince and princess, and the concubines are in charge of the diet. The rest of the female historians follow the arrangements.

The Dian Shan and Zhang Shan of the Imperial Dining Room are so busy that they don’t even touch the floor. I don’t have so much time for you to get to know each other one by one, the things you need to know about people, and what you should pay attention to on a daily basis. Ask your seniors more often, and learn by doing. "

Guan Dianshan handed a thin booklet to the Si Shan, and Si Shan took the booklet and carried it back to read it.

Only under the light can I clearly see her appearance. She is about 30 years old, with a melon-shaped face, red lips, white face, and shining eyes. She is very energetic in the dark night.

After she finished reading the brochure, she turned around and said, "Whoever is my name, any of you will come out. I will tell you who to look for, and you will go in and look for someone. Who is Qiu Nanxue?"

When Qiu Nanxue heard her name, she jumped out happily and said, "Master Si Shan, I am Qiu Nanxue."

"You go to Fang Dian to have a meal. She is mainly responsible for the meals of the princes and princesses, and will arrange for you to do things."

Qiu Nanxue raised her eyebrows, and excitedly agreed, the food and drink of the princes and princesses is an important job, she will have it as soon as she comes, and everyone knows why, Qiu Nanxue still proudly raised her head, and went in to find someone.

"Who is Shen Ci?"

Shen Ci who was beside Wang Yifu immediately took a big step forward and responded, "My lord, I am Shen Ci."

"Go and talk to Qian Zhangban, Qian Zhangban will tell you what to do."

Most of the palm meals serve the concubines in the palace, which is also an important place, and the place Shen Ci is going to is also a good place.The next few girls were assigned to the subordinates of the female historians, and Wu Xiaolan went to a Dianshan subordinate because of her good pastry skills.

After arranging the personnel one by one, Ruan Sishan closed the booklet and prepared to go back into the big house.

Wang Yifu hurriedly called out: "Master Si Shan, you haven't told me where to go yet."

The cook heard someone calling her, looked back to see that there was still someone there, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Wang Yifu, that's what I thought, Furong's Fu."

Ruan Sishan leaned sideways and carefully flipped through the booklet page by page, wondering, "Why isn't there such a name?"

"I... I entered the palace with Mr. Chen Shangshi... probably not in the roster."

"Why are you here with Mr. Chen? You go..."

Before Ruan Sishan finished speaking, Guan Dianshan took her arm and whispered something in her ear.

After Ruan Sishan heard this, he frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and rolled his eyes, and said to Wang Yifu: "I know what's going on, you go to the innermost part of the imperial dining room, look for Mo Xi, and tell me that you are a newcomer." maid of honor."

Wang Yifu obeyed the order and walked into the door.

Inside the door is a road four carriages wide, and on the right hand side is a brick-red palace wall. A row of yellow bamboo shelves are placed beside the wall, with fresh vegetables on them, wooden basins are placed at the bottom of the shelves, and water canals are placed under the shelves.

On the left hand side of the road is a long row of houses, all of which are now open.

There are large board tables in the house, all kinds of cured meat, garlic, and corn are hung on the roof beams, and there is a stove opposite the door, and white mist steam is on each pot.

The house is bustling with activity, everyone is constantly busy, there are those who cook noodles, those who cook porridge, and those who steam small snacks. In the room that just entered the door, there are small steamers on small pots. Walking inside, there is a big steamer, and the buns and steamed buns are all in a big basket.

Wang Yifu caught a court lady walking out with a white bowl, and asked, "Sister, where is Sister Mo Xi?"

The maid flicked her face, said the most inside, and hurried out.

According to what she said, Wang Yifu walked all the way to the door of the house at the end.

Two maids in the house were busy, one was stirring the porridge in the cauldron with a long spoon, and the other was removing the folds of the buns.

She walked in and asked, "Which one is Sister Mo Xi?"

The woman who made porridge, with round arms and a thicker waist, looked up at Wang Yifu and asked what was the matter.

Wang Yifu hurriedly walked up to her and said, "I'm the new maid from Shangshi Bureau."

The woman just stopped, looked at her again, sneered, and said: "You look like this, you have no strength to restrain a chicken, why did you come to me?"
