Shangshi female official

Chapter 8 Bamboo Stir-Fried Pork 2
Wang Yifu, Shen Ci and Xu Xinyan all looked dazed, and followed Nanny Chen to the west hall in a foolish manner.

Nanny Chen turned around and closed the door, and said: "There are flour and eggs on the table, how do you fry the eggs, show me."

The three of them didn't know why, so they could only act according to Mother Chen's request. Xu Xinyan didn't know anything, just now he had another stomach upset and he wasn't completely healed, so he could only stand aside and watch, Shen Ci beat the eggs, added Add salt and water to make a paste, and Wang Yifu fires a fire pot.

Grandma Chen took a look at the fried egg cakes. The color was brown and steaming. She took a small bite, and the taste was not bad.

After frying a plate of pancakes, Shen Ci did not forget to put out the fire at the end, and the three of them stood in front of Nanny Chen, holding hands and waiting to be punished, but Nanny Chen said: "Okay, go out, don't forget to put this plate away." Bring out the egg cakes for everyone to taste."

The three girls raised their heads, they were relieved that they didn't hear that they would be punished. Xu Xinyan couldn't help laughing like a flower, and took the initiative to follow Nanny Chen with a plate in their hands. When they walked out the door, the people outside couldn't figure out what Nanny Chen wanted to do .

Nanny Chen waved at them and said, "Come and have a taste, you will be hungry at night, let's have some supper."

The mothers came to see that there were only a few batter cakes, and they were not interested in eating them. Only Mother Zhou tore a piece and tasted it, saying that it was well done.

Xia Momo saw that Chen Momo lightly asked everyone to eat supper, but became anxious, and asked: "My lord, it's only a few pieces of cake, you won't just forgive them like that?"

"That's right, the maids who bully the juniors each play twenty hands. The matter of the seniors bullying the juniors should be rectified."

"grown ups?"

"Nurse Xia, there are some things I didn't want to say too clearly. You are an old man, and you should know that there are some things that don't need to be delved into in the imperial city."

"My lord, this is not a trivial matter. If there is a fire in the stove, if they are in the palace, they will lose their lives. What if they get involved in the six rounds and one palace? How can such a person stay?"

"Have you ever made egg cakes?"

"My lord, no matter what food you cook, you shouldn't forget to put out the fire."

"When frying an egg cake, the fire should not be too high. If the fire is too high, the skin of the cake will be easily burnt black when it is put into the oil. If you want to fry it until it is tender yellow, or browned, you have to fry it slowly and turn it over many times.

Shen Ci is a proficient hand. Frying a plate of pancakes is only a matter of burning a few thick firewood. After a long time of cooking, the fire is not too big. When the batter is almost bottomed out, she pulls out the firewood, leaving only a little residual fire in it to finish. .

I checked the porcelain basin they used in the East Hall, and there was only a bit of batter left in it, and there was firewood she used in front of the stove. You and I have worked in the kitchen for many years, so the little fire in the stove, There is no external wind, so it should be extinguished naturally. How did the fire come outside? "

For a moment, Nanny Xia felt like a pimple in her throat, and her eyes frantically flickered.

Nanny Chen stared at her sharply like an arrow, and stabbed straight at her, "In the final analysis, it's just a scandal of my own people in the inner teaching workshop. If we don't close the door at home to solve it, it's possible to quarrel with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ? Are you still planning to quarrel with the Empress Dowager?"

Madam Xia has been in the palace for many years, so she naturally understands what it means to be a hero who knows the current affairs, and she immediately bowed down and said: "The adults are wise, but the little eyes are clumsy, not as good as the adults."

"Everyone is tired from gathering here at night, so let's go to rest. You will ask the internal affairs supervisor to repair the East Hall tomorrow. Let's stop here for tonight, and we will strengthen the patrol of the inner teaching workshop in the future. This kind of thing, I don't want to see it a second time."

"Yes."

All the nuns left at the sound, only Zhou Nunnies stayed alone and took them to her room.

The three of them stood side by side in the room, with their heads down, waiting for Madam Zhou to leave. There was no sound in the room, but it made the three of them feel very anxious.

I don't know how long it was quiet before Nanny Zhou took a narrow bamboo strip half a finger wide from the wall, pointed at them and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Xu Xinyan said anxiously: "Mommy, isn't there no punishment?"

"Mrs. Chen won't be punished. I didn't say no. It's a fact that the East Hall caught fire because of you. If you don't punish me, how can you grow your memory? Reach out."

Seeing Mammy's attitude, Shen Ci definitely couldn't escape the punishment, so she immediately knelt on the ground, with tears in her eyes, and begged: "Mammy, you hit my back, slap my waist, and calves, you can do it. With these hands down, how can I chop vegetables and cook tomorrow..."

When Nanny Zhou heard her words, she couldn't help feeling distressed. She didn't want to beg for mercy after being punished, but also thought about not getting in the way of cooking, so she managed to maintain a dignified and stern look, and said, "You three, lift up your skirts."

Nanny Zhou started with Xu Xinyan, settled down, raised the bamboo stick and yanked it down hard, one yank was a red mark, Xu Xinyan was so painful that he burst into tears, tears streaming down his face.

Both Shen Ci and Wang Yifu gritted their teeth and didn't cry out, the tears in their eyes kept rolling out, they only dared to make a soft "um", after the beating, the three of them were sobbing that they couldn't breathe, and they couldn't hold their hands. Dare to drop the skirt.

"It hurts you so that you can have a long memory. In the palace, if you are not careful, you make a mistake, and if you make a small mistake, you make a big mistake. If you make a big mistake, nine lives are not enough for you to pay. Be more considerate in everything, and be more careful." , I hope you remember it!"

"remember……"

"Put down the skirt, go back to sleep."

The three put down their skirts, rolled up their sleeves, wiped their faces vigorously, and walked out slowly.

There was a burning pain in the calf, and the three of them swayed when they walked, and they didn't speak much along the way, just walked quietly for a long time, when Shen Ci suddenly spoke, "I just heard the eunuch say fire, I ran to the east hall in a hurry, and I bumped into a person on the way."

"Who?"

"Qiu Nanxue..."

When she went back to the room and lay down, the other four people were already sound asleep. On the first day of studying in the inner teaching workshop, Wang Yifu experienced the extraordinary things in the imperial city. The road ahead was long, and she thought about it in the dark night. Qiu Nanxue's appearance.

In the early morning of the next day, they still had to follow the requirements and arrive at the training ground at dawn.

Others saw some changes in the East Hall. Wang Yifu and Shen Ci naturally knew the story of last night, and they also noticed Qiu Nanxue who didn't even glance at the East Hall, and stood motionless in her place. .

The two of them exchanged winks, tacitly knowing that Qiu Nanxue might not be able to escape what happened last night.

When Aunt Feng arrived at the training ground, a row of eunuchs followed, each carrying a large basket, which was filled with Chinese toon, shepherd's purse, spinach, shallot and other green leafy vegetables.

"Although Nanny Chen taught you knife skills first, in fact, there is still one thing that Shangshi court ladies need to be familiar with, and that is washing vegetables. I will only say once about washing vegetables. Today you have washed all these vegetables. It’s even learned.”
