On the pier, walking in the dining room.
The meal boxes for all the masters have been sent up, and I will be free here.
The steward on duty and the two worshipers also took their seats and prepared to eat.
When preparing it before, the "Dongpo Meat" was prepared based on the head. In addition to the total number of masters, two more portions were prepared just in case.
Later, Jiu Fujin sent a message that Concubine Rong's five copies were not sent, and she suddenly became rich.
This is a new dish. The Emperor and the Queen Mother came in today. It would be disrespectful to spread it out to others.
The stewards were asked to show off their affairs.
There is also the spicy and sour pork slices, which are not available elsewhere, but there is one prepared in the dining room.
Gotta try the food.
Three people plus a chef and an assistant chef, five people sat down.
The table was filled with dishes. In addition to Dongpo meat and meat slices, there was also a tiger skin elbow.
The tiger skin knuckles are also made with rich oil and red sauce, which is heavier than Dongpo meat.
The Dongpo pork was served later, and the tiger skin knuckle became richer.
"I hope Jiufujin will give me more recipes..."
said the steward.
The recipes in the palace are really passed down from generation to generation, but most of them are based on big meat and game.
At that time, it was still an example from outside the customs.
It was good to eat then, but now it's too rough.
But they didn't dare to change the menu easily, for fear that something would be wrong and they would miss out, so they could only order the food as usual.
After a while, the masters didn't like to eat, and what they cooked was not interesting.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, there was movement outside.
With a "click" sound, the tent door was kicked open.
The fourteenth elder brother came with anger.
Several people in the tent were startled.
Just as the steward was about to scold him, he saw that it was Brother Fourteen who hurriedly swallowed it, stood up and said respectfully: "Master Fourteen, why are you here?"
It's not dirty, but it's full of tents and the space is small.
Several other people also stood up and were careful.
This young man obviously came with bad intentions.
Doesn't this taste good?
Brother Fourteen's eyes fell directly on the dining table, where there was a large bowl of hot and sour pork slices and several cups of Dongpo Pork.
These two dishes look full of color, flavor and taste, which are quite different from the tired tiger skin elbows and bland cabbage balls.
Brother Fourteen was so angry that he pointed at the two dishes and gritted his teeth and said, "What are these?"
The steward looked over with a guilty look on his face.
Is this because you know that new dishes have been delivered somewhere but not over there?
He said with anxiety: "This is... a new dish I just tried to make this afternoon..."
With a "clang", Brother Fourteen kicked the table over.
The dishes and chopsticks on the table clattered to the floor.
"Fourteenth brother!"
Brother Thirteen happened to catch up. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly yelled: "What are you doing?"
The fourteenth elder brother had already picked up a stick nearby and rolled it on the steward: "You bastard, you are enjoying the hot and spicy food, and let the master drink the northwest wind!"
The person in charge didn't dare to hide, so he was hit hard and his forehead was bleeding profusely.
Brother Fourteen wanted to hit him a second time, but Brother Thirteen grabbed him hard.
Brother Fourteen struggled and said in a sharp voice: "Thirteen, don't stop me. Look at what's on the ground. The new dishes that Khan Ama wants to eat have not yet been our sons' turn. These slaves have already eaten them." One round!”
The steward was kneeling on the ground, his mind buzzing, but he made no excuse.
How to defend?
Will Jiufu Jin be pushed out?
Not to mention whether it was useful or not, just saying that it offended Jiu Fujin was also linked to Jiu Age, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Thirteenth Brother was two years older and was stronger after all. He snatched the stick from the Fourteenth Brother's hand, handed it to the frightened Bai Tanga next to him, and motioned for him to take it outside.
He looked at the kitchen steward and found him a bit unfamiliar. He was not from the Wuya family or the Wei family.
Brother Thirteen looked at the food on the floor and felt something was wrong.
Not that they have to eat new dishes.
But when the fourteenth elder brother had already sent someone to add more food, the manager was still dealing with it and didn't say anything about sending the food here.
Brother Thirteen's face also turned cold.
Some believed the words of Brother Fourteen, thinking that the steward was greedy and that the forty taels of silver he had collected was not enough, so he deliberately wanted to blackmail him a second time.
He immediately became angry, turned around and ordered the eunuch who was following him: "Go and ask Master Ma Qi to come over!"
This is a matter for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we still have to find the rightful owner.
Although Khan Amma ordered frugality on this trip, he would not be harsh on his son.
The eunuch of Thirteenth Brother immediately obeyed the order and went out to invite people.
The Fourteenth Brother then said: "Huh! The Thirteenth Brother believes it this time, the slaves in the imperial kitchen are greedy, they are all used to it!"
Brother Thirteen said nothing.
If this is true, then the Wuya family and the Wei family are the biggest worms.
The steward knelt on the ground with a look of despair on his face.
Against the two princes and elder brothers, he was reasonable and unreasonable.
I had thought that this southern tour was an opportunity. If I did my job well, I might not be able to go further.
Gao Yanzhong left early.
The personnel structure of the imperial dining room has changed.
Later in the year, the in-laws of the Wuya family and the Wei family were gradually transferred out of the imperial dining room.
There are several empty spaces above.
If Gao Yanzhong was still there, he would definitely be promoted this time.
The Fourteenth Brother pulled up a chair and sat down directly.
Looking at the remaining people, Brother Fourteen pointed at a worshiper and said: "What's going on with the new dishes? Did Yu Qian only send one copy?"
After hearing this, Baitang'a's face was evasive, but he didn't answer. He only looked at the steward kneeling on the ground.
Brother Fourteen's face became even more ugly, and he sneered: "Okay, there is someone covering the sky with one hand in the dining room!"
At this moment, Ma Qi came, and the seventh brother came with him.
Seeing the mess on the ground, both of them changed their expressions.
Look at the blood on the steward's forehead.
Ma Qi's face also became serious.
During the Holy Emperor's southern tour, in order not to disturb the local area, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was responsible for all supplies, of which the dining room accounted for the bulk.
This steward is not old, but he is experienced and diligent in his work. He has been doing his duty for most of the month.
Ma Qi raised his hands to the two elder brothers and said, "Slave Ma Qi has met the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Masters!"
The seventh elder brother frowned and said, "What's going on? Are you shouting and killing?"
The guard camp is located just behind the dining room.
He heard movement on this end before, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, he then saw the eunuch of the Thirteenth Prince bringing Ma Qi over. Only then did he realize that the Prince Prince was involved, so he followed him.
The fourteenth brother was still so angry that his heart and lungs ached. He pointed at the steward and said: "This damn slave bullied the thirteenth brother and I are bald brothers. The meal preparation was not careful. We paid for the food to order, and he still fooled us. They themselves started eating and drinking a lot..."
At this point, he pointed to the dishes on the ground and said: "There is no master in my eyes! This roast pork and a bowl of dishes are today's new dishes. I'm paying homage to you. I don't know who I gave it to as a favor, but it's us." The prince’s elder brother, a serious master, won’t get a bite!”
Brother Seventh looked at the Dongpo meat on the ground and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Ma Qi looked like the steward, with a stern look on his face, and said, "What the Fourteenth Master said is true?"
It's not good to try to get involved with Jiu Fujin before taking charge, otherwise it will be like stirring up trouble between the masters.
Now the boss is here, but he has nothing to hide. The people around Jiu Fujin came over this afternoon to send a message for more food, and then sent someone for the second time to stop the food on Concubine Rong's ship. .
"This is not a dish in the menu, it was added to it by Jiu Fujin. For this, I even asked someone to send me ten taels of silver..."
The person who entertained the guests did not want to invite guests. He was a slave and could only obey orders.
Brother Fourteen's face turned red and he almost got angry: "What on earth does she mean? Okay, why are you treating her so differently?"
After that, he was about to rush out.
Brother Thirteen had been on guard for a long time and hugged him tightly: "Calm down, there must be a reason, or maybe there is something wrong with the recipe..."
Brother Fourteen's eyes were red with anger: "What's the reason? Why can't we eat when everyone else eats? It's just that I don't like it. I offended her in the twelfth lunar month last year, and she holds a grudge!"
Having said this, he looked at Brother Qi and said, "Brother Qi, are there any new dishes over there?"
The seventh prince looked a little confused.
He didn't really want to nod at this time.
But it’s not easy to shake your head.
Brother Fourteen already had an answer when he saw his reaction.
"I can't stand this anger, I want to ask Khan Ama to make the decision..."
Before he finished speaking, someone outside answered: "What do you want me to do?"
It's Kangxi who's coming.
Since there were two side dishes tonight, he ate an extra half bowl of rice, which was a bit embarrassing.
Although he was tired, he still went ashore to take a walk and eat.
As a result, I saw the fourteenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother running in the dining room one after another. Behind them, there was a young eunuch who invited Ma Qi to come over.
Out of curiosity, he strolled over and happened to hear Brother Fourteen talking.
"Khan Ama..."
The fourteenth elder brother was as angry as a frog. When he saw Kangxi, his eye circles became redder and redder: "Jiu Fujin deliberately targeted his son!"
He was also annoyed and even stopped calling Sister-in-law Nine.
Kangxi looked at the mess on the ground.
Rice and vegetables are all mixed together.
He is frugal by nature and hates waste, which makes him unhappy.
The fourteenth elder brother kept talking and told the whole story.
The thirteenth elder brother was standing by and said hurriedly: "Khan Ama, there must be a misunderstanding. Ninth sister-in-law has always been generous, and she has never cared about it with the fourteenth elder brother."
Kangxi's face was as dark as water, remembering the news he had received before the delay.
Today Concubine Rong and San Fujin went to the Queen Mother's place.
Is this making the Queen Mother angry?
Jiu Fujin followed her father's lead and was respectful in nature.
If it weren't for other reasons, I wouldn't have lost the filial piety from Concubine Rong.
Tonight's new dish will be shared by both nobles.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go over and ask Aunt Bai what happened this afternoon. Is it because Concubine Rong was rude and made the Queen Mother angry?"
Liang Jiugong responded and went down.
Brother Fourteen was a little dumbfounded.
Isn't it aimed at him, but at Concubine Rong's mother?
His mind was racing.
Something is definitely wrong.
Of the five masters on the ship, even if they don’t have their own, they don’t have their concubine’s?
Brother Fourteen's mind was spinning rapidly.
Looks like I'm in trouble?
How to find a replacement?
