"Alas..." He Chaosheng reached out and rubbed Mu Luo's head and said, "Thankfully I came today. If I hadn't come in the past few days, wouldn't you have starved to death?"
"Ah? No way." Mulo smiled stupidly and said: "If there is nothing to eat, I will boil the bark to satisfy my hunger. It will not be so easy to starve to death. In such a big palace, there are quite a lot of things to eat. .”
"How stupid." He Chaosheng seemed to show a faint smile.
He looked slightly sideways and said to the eunuch in charge beside him: "I will sleep here today. If you can't clean it up before I feel sleepy, you will drag them all out and kill them."
Mulo was startled and glanced at He Chaosheng with evasive eyes.
Is this...the "wise monarch" that Xia Rujie talks about? He looks no different from a tyrant.
Mulo took back the dumplings and started eating them himself.
It would be a pity to give him dumplings to eat, he is just a... puppy that brings disaster to the country and the people!
After all, it was the people in front of the king who cleaned up very quickly. In a short time, the entire palace was completely new. In fact, only the bedrooms were completely cleaned up, and other places were only cleaned up on the outside.
"Your Majesty, are you going to sleep here tonight?" Mu Luo finished eating the dumplings and wiped his mouth.
He Chaosheng nodded, and then led a group of palace maids and eunuchs into the dormitory.
Mulo also followed in quietly. The bed curtains, tables and chairs were all replaced with new ones. The furnishings were not very elegant, and it seemed that they were just random things that were brought in to fill the bill.
Mulo walked into the bedroom feeling a little uncomfortable. Every time he passed a gauze curtain, the palace maid put down the gauze thoughtfully.
First it was gauze, then bead curtains, and finally it was gauze again, layer upon layer, looming, and finally when Mulo walked to the bedside, the last curtain fell, and the bedroom, which was extremely spacious just now, suddenly became constrained.
Mulo's hands were shaking with fear and he stood motionless.
"What are you afraid of?" He Chaosheng took off his shoes and sat on the bed.
Mu Luo swallowed and said truthfully: "I...I don't know how to serve in bed. No one taught me in the palace before. I..."
"I'm not forcing you, stop shaking." He Chaosheng stretched out his hand, pulled Mu Luo over, and said calmly: "Just sleep, you can always sleep."
"I'm quite familiar with this." Mulo raised the corners of his lips in a naive manner.
He Chaosheng rubbed Mu Luo's head and said, "You can sleep in there. Don't worry about sleeping. Grandma will teach you after a while. You just need to sleep with me now."
"That's it. It seems that sleeping is quite simple." Mu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, climbed to the inside of the bed, pulled off the quilt to cover it, and pulled another one to He Chaosheng: "Okay, I'm ready, go to bed Come on, good night."
He Chaosheng chuckled and shook his head. He knew that she was not a simple-minded person, but it was not easy to tell.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Mulo opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw many palace maids and eunuchs kneeling in front of her, calling respectfully: "Concubine Chen."
He Chaosheng seems to have left. Oh...it turns out that he slept outside so that he could go out early.
"Um... I have a low status, and I said I don't need anyone to serve me..." Mu Luo stood up, waved to these people, and said, "You can go wherever you like, I won't tell He Chaosheng. Just don't follow me, I'll feel uncomfortable instead."
"Concubine Chen, don't worry, the servants will not make any noise when cleaning, and they will not disturb your cleanliness." The leading maid looks very smart and cute, and she is also older than the girls behind...
Mulo chuckled lightly, put on his shoes, and said, "Girl, you are wearing special clothes. Who are you?"
"Of course I am also a slave. I am the maid in charge of this palace. Just call me Ying'er."
Ying'er acted calmly and spoke nicely. Mulo held his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Okay, but you don't need to cook, just clean. I'll provide your food! By the way, I'll take care of you. Has the king sent you any food?"
Ying'er smiled and said: "Of course there is. Early in the morning, the king sent people to bring a lot of food. I also went to get the trivial seasonings in the kitchen. I heard that the kitchen room is the order of Concubine Chen. I was very happy and gave him many things that were not available in other palaces..."
"That's great. Have you had breakfast?" Mulo couldn't wait to run to the kitchen.
Ying'er followed and said: "Concubine Chen, breakfast has been prepared. You don't need to go to the kitchen in person..."
"Breakfast is given to you! I want to make my own food!" Mulo rushed to the small kitchen excitedly.
Smoke was rising from the small kitchen, and the two cooks looked at each other.
"Thank you for your hard work, chef!" Mulo said sweetly at first, and then went straight to the point: "I will use the kitchen in a while~ Don't worry, I will clean it up for you."
"No, no, no, Concubine Chen, how dare you..." The two cooks knelt down one after another.
Mu Luo didn't say anything, he just walked to the stove and started counting things...
There was a little chicken soup left in the jar, and there was a piece of tofu and a huge green radish on the chopping board.
"Yes~" Mulo turned around, looked at the cook, and said, "Have you ever heard of a dish called Golden Pond Hibiscus in the palace? I will cook it for you today. Don't kneel down. Get up quickly."
"Golden Pond Hibiscus? We have only heard the name of that dish, but we don't know... what it looks like." The cooks stood up, but still hunched over, not daring to look at Mulo.
Mulo smiled, picked up the tofu, and said: "The most important thing about this dish is the knife skills. You need to cut the tofu into snow lotus, the petals should be light and not collapse, and then cut the radish into lotus leaves as thin as cicada wings. Two articles When they overlap each other, there will be lines, and finally a spoonful of fine golden soup is boiled to make a lotus pond."
The cook opened his mouth in surprise and said, "It sounds like he has some skills, but... tofu carving requires some real skills."
Mulo patted himself confidently: "This is really a skill, I happen to have it~ Cook, don't be idle, help me peel a pumpkin, I will use it when I make golden soup later~"
Mulo heated up the pot, added some seasonings, mixed a bowl of soup and set it aside for later use, and then began to carve tofu. The shape of the lotus flower was quite simple, and it was easier to carve than flowers like peonies, but the flowers needed to be shaped. Different styles are what make the dishes look good, so Muro carves them very carefully and doesn't dare to make any mistakes.
Half an hour passed, and only six lotus flowers were carved.
"Not bad, that should be enough." Mulo carefully put the lotus flowers on the plate, took out the radish, cut a few slices, they were really as thin as cicada wings, picked them up with his hands, and twisted them into the shape of lotus leaves. , put together on the plate.
Finally, there is a golden soup. Logically speaking, it is best to use Shiquan Dabu Tang, but now the chicken soup cannot be wasted, so I will use this.
The pumpkin has been steamed. Use a spoon to press it into pumpkin puree. Chop onions, ginger, garlic, pickled peppers, and quench the aroma. Pour in water, stock and chicken broth. After simmering for a few rounds, add the pumpkin. Skim off the residue while cooking. After a quarter of an hour, filter it through a tight leak...
When pouring, the golden soup was dazzling, the golden soup was just right, and the smell was fragrant, attracting all the maids in the palace to stand at the door of the kitchen.
Use a spoon to pour a little golden soup into the plate, and you will have this one-of-a-kind "Golden Pond Hibiscus" dish.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, cooking is so difficult, I'm almost starving to death." Mulo burst into tears of gratitude towards Jinchi Hibiscus. The cook was dumbfounded. After a while, he knelt on the ground and shouted - "Master! Accept us as Become a disciple!"
