Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 41

Someone brought a pillow when he fell asleep, and Wang Tong couldn't help being taken aback. When he was worrying, there was a solution to his door.

Then Zou Yi turned around and confirmed that the lower latch had been put on, and said with a smile:

"Huangchenggen has an advantage, that is, it is clean outside at night, and the night watchmen in the palace are constantly making noise, so you can't sleep well!"

While talking and laughing, he took out a thick booklet from his bag, put it on the table, and asked Shi Shiran:
"May I ask a question, does Mr. Wang know how to read?"

Wang Tong met quite a few eunuchs, and the customers didn't talk about it. The few who dealt with more were all big figures in the palace, and they spoke and acted like a high-ranking person.

Zou Yi in front of him is different, he speaks kindly, slowly, without any airs, but Wang Tong is still confused, he wants to help himself, and asks what is wrong with being able to read and write, but he still answers in a deep voice:

"I can recognize the characters, but not many."

Jin Yiwei's ordinary school lieutenant who can read characters is obviously a special case, Zou Yi was also surprised, and then said with a smile:

"That's much easier to handle. Eunuch Zhang specially asked Mr. Wang to read this booklet carefully. He will surely figure out something new."

The brochure was handed over, and Wang Tong took a look at it. On the cover with a golden background, he wrote the title "Shangshan Supervised Food Stall" with a Chinese ink pen. Seeing the confused expression on Wang Tong's face, he explained kindly:

"This Shangshan supervisor food stall is a list of the emperor's diet and banquets recorded by the Shangshan supervisor in the palace. All the nobles in the palace eat this every day."

As long as it is not in the brochure, it is a new thing for the emperor. Wang Tong immediately figured out this truth and was overjoyed for a while.

The palace gates of the imperial city are closed at night, and there must be badges issued by several eunuchs to enter and exit. The control is extremely strict, and although this Shangshan supervisory food stall is just a menu recipe, it is also a confidential document in the palace. After taking the risk, Wang Tong was overjoyed and quickly saluted the other party to thank him.

"...The matter is urgent, don't serve tea to the father-in-law, and read the brochure first..."

Zou Yi agreed with a smile, and sat on the side. His face remained calm, but he was extremely surprised by Wang Tong's performance. Such a good opportunity is nothing more than good luck and cleverness.

But after a short contact, I found that the other party could read and write, with a calm demeanor and a calm manner. He was a school lieutenant there, and he clearly had the demeanor of a family of literati.

This kind of person has such a chance, the future is limitless, the eunuch Zou Yiduan sat there, already thinking of accepting in his heart.

Wang Tong asked while browsing, but the eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Room and the eunuchs below deal with food, wine and rice every day, and their education level is not high. It is easy to understand the sentences.

"There are really not many types, ordinary ones..."

After looking at it for a while, Wang Tong couldn't help sighing and said that the daily meals are nothing more than mutton, pork, chicken, duck, goose, etc., plus seasonal vegetables and freshwater fish, there are no new methods, and there are no strange dishes.

Zou Yi answered with a smile:
"It doesn't matter whether the dishes in the palace are delicious or not. The key is not to cause problems with the food. Therefore, the selection of ingredients must be in the right order, not out of the ordinary, and boring. Those who are picky have their own small kitchens. The Queen Mother and Zhang Ge I always want the emperor to be simple, so until now the emperor still eats in the imperial dining room as a rule."

The matter was much simpler, Wang Tong let out a long breath, looked up to the sky for a while, stood up and said to Zou Yi:
"Eunuch Zou, please come in first. I will be wronged in the humble house tonight. I am busy here. Wang will arrange to serve tea in the past."

Zou Yi nodded and entered the room with a smile. Wang Tong hurriedly woke up a cook and helper next door. He thought of something, but he needed to start preparing it tonight.

The bleary-eyed cooks and helpers were a little reluctant to be called up. Although they worked to make money, they were too busy during the day, and it would be too difficult if they couldn't sleep well at night.

However, Wang Tong was not ambiguous, and directly took out the money, staying up late and working overtime was not for nothing. As a result, the enthusiasm of the cook and helpers suddenly increased.

Watching the bellows being pushed back and forth, the kitchen lighting up a fire, and the materials pouring into the pot, Wang Tongcai returned to his inner house in peace.

Zou Yi really didn't regard himself as an outsider. He was holding a volume of books and was waiting to read. In addition to the enlightenment textbooks, he also bought a few notebooks and commentaries for leisure. Although these books are not elegant, they are not something he can read at his age. Don't expose any flaws that shouldn't be there because of this.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zou Yi put down the book and nodded with a smile. Wang Tong saw that the other party was fine, so he cupped his fists and gave a big thank you:

"I would like to ask Eunuch Zou to thank you on your behalf. Wang will never forget such a great kindness."

"My lord Wang is serious. I have to take this book back to the palace tomorrow. If I don't read it again, it's good to remember more."

Although there are many dishes, Wang Tong already knows the general idea. The supreme emperor really doesn't have any enviable enjoyment in terms of food, and there are many places to make a fuss about.

But it is always good to have a record. Wang Tong is going to use a charcoal pen to transcribe some after the other party goes to sleep. After thanking the other party for their kindness, he will prepare the bedding for the other party to sleep at night.

Wang Tong's room is not small, and the bedding in the guest room is old, but it can still be used. He has no servants and has to do everything by himself, and it took him a long time to return to the living room.

The guest hasn't had a saliva yet, so Wang Tong had to go to the restaurant again, and when he came back with a charcoal stove, he boiled water to make tea, and Zou Yi said some polite words from time to time, very gentle.

After the tea was brewed and served, after taking a sip, there was already a strong aroma coming from the front, it seemed that it was ready to serve.

It was getting late, Wang Tong advised Zou Yi to rest, Zou Yi got up and thanked him, put the brochure on the table in the living room and went to the guest room to sleep.

Zou Yi took two steps and stopped. He seemed to hesitate, but he still turned around and asked with a smile:

"My lord, you and the emperor may have met four times, but there was such a big commotion. Eunuch Feng and Mr. Zhang Ge came to take care of him, and Eunuch Zhang also helped. Do you know the reason?"

Indeed, they only met a few times, but the commotion was as shocking as the world, and no matter how you look at it, Eunuch Zhang Chengzhang couldn't help himself with this favor, so he thought more harshly, met by chance, and opened a restaurant with a captain of Jinyiwei If the emperor is interested, you can pay more attention to it. If the emperor has no interest, then it is not worth paying attention to. Why is the high-ranking Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang so attentive.
