Chapter 194: The House of Gold and Jade

"Back?"

Mulo sat at the table and started writing on a whim. However, her cooking hands were really ugly when it came to writing.

Ying'er stepped forward and replied: "As the master expected, the king is in the queen's palace, and the queen has to eat all the food, a little reluctantly..."

Mulo frowned and looked at his handwriting. He thought it was really unsightly, so he balled it up and threw it away.

She looked at Ying'er seriously and said, "Has your Majesty eaten?"

Ying'er shook her head: "The king said... that was your wish. You just let the queen eat it all, and she didn't use her chopsticks."

"It seems that the king is quite smart~" Mulo held his chin and thought for a while, then said: "I will write some recipes for the cook tomorrow. You can weigh them and send them to the queen when the king is here. Watch

The queen will come back after eating, you know?"

"Yes...Master."

Ying'er didn't know what was in the dish, so she was naturally confused.

The next morning, Mulo got up early despite his injury, rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen again.

Ying'er followed closely behind and said anxiously: "Master, your health is in critical condition. Let the servants do the cooking for these two days."

"I'm fine. After yesterday's bandage, the pain is gone." Mulo raised his arm and said, "Look, everything is fine. I'm used to cooking and making food by myself. Just watch and it'll be fine."

Mulo smiled and started to work again. The two chefs helped her. Today's breakfast was considered simple.

Cut a piece of tofu into cubes with a knife, pour the sauce on it, add some cool and spicy enoki mushrooms, add onions, garlic and freshly fried chili oil, and the first side dish - cold day needle tofu.

The servants stood around the table and watched Muro serve the dishes one after another.

Use a knife to cut off the corn kernels, blanch them in water, blanch them slightly, mix them with diced carrots, bamboo shoots, and cucumbers and fry them in a pot. The heat should be controlled so that the outer shell of the corn is slightly crispy, while the inner part is soft, waxy, and sweet. Thicken the corn kernels and serve on a plate.

It's done.

"Today's main dish is usually called 'corn stir-fry', but because of the bright color of corn and yellow light, people who just ordered it also call it 'goldfish mantang'. How about it? Let the two chefs try it first.

?" Muro passed the plate in front of the two chefs.

Just by smelling the taste, the cook was full of praise: "Wonderful... Although it is a small dish, once Concubine Chen's hands pass it, it is like a royal banquet in heaven, which cannot be tasted on earth."

"Haha, you cook... is quite educated." Mulo put the dishes on the table, and the masters and servants of the palace gathered around the table to eat the food the cook had prepared in the morning.

However, Mulo was sitting down, while everyone else was standing up to eat.

Although the table was full of dishes, Muro only stretched out his chopsticks to the two dishes he cooked.

The cook looked worried and said: "Concubine Chen, please also practice my craftsmanship. The soup for stewing chicken in golden soup is based on the dish you made yesterday..."

Mulo only glanced at it lightly and said: "The dishes are made with a unique flavor. There is no need to learn from others. It is best to adjust it yourself. If you really want me to give you some advice... um...

…Next time, the heat will be lower and the color of the golden soup will be better.”

"Yes, thank you, Concubine Chen, for your advice."

Halfway through the meal, a eunuch suddenly shouted from outside the gate: "The Queen Mother is here!"

The servants at the table suddenly panicked, hid their bowls and chopsticks behind their backs, and hurriedly retreated. Mulo didn't take it seriously and continued eating.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother entered that she stood up, knelt down and said, "I've met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother had gray hair on her temples and a majestic expression. She waved her sleeves and said, "Please step aside. The Ai family has something to talk to Concubine Chen."

When the servants heard this, they immediately stepped back respectfully, just in time to put away their dishes. When everything became quiet, the Queen Mother still didn't let Mulo get up. Mulo was just thinking about whether the Queen Mother was also here to embarrass her.

.

But don't be afraid. Zuo is just suffering some physical pain. As a concubine, she has no fault and will not be killed in broad daylight.

"Ahem." The Queen Mother took two steps forward, twitched her nose, and said: "The Ai family... ate the rock sugar snow pear you sent over yesterday, and thought... it's time to come and meet this Chen who is an expert in craftsmanship.

Concubine..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother. It's just some small skills in cooking and cannot be considered elegant." Mulo raised his head and said with a smile: "However, the king said yesterday that I am very filial. I think... what the king said

That’s right, hehe.”

Mulo looked very obedient, and the word "filial piety" meant he was well-behaved.

The Queen Mother originally had a grudge against this princess from the imperial city, but now she somewhat accepted this filial piety.

The Queen Mother reached out and lifted Mulo's chin and said: "As a princess who has subjugated her country, you don't hate the king or the Ai family. It's really rare and incredible."

Mulo remained calm, staring into the Queen Mother's eyes, and said innocently: "I am also a hard-working person. When I was in the palace, my father didn't want to see me. I have never lived in such a big palace.

So...I am very grateful to the King, and also very grateful to the Queen Mother."

"The mouth is quite sweet, but it's okay. The Ai family and the king can treat it as if they have a well-behaved dog by their side." The Queen Mother let go of Mu Luo, turned to look at the dining table, and said: "

Please remove this table and make a new one for the Ai family to eat, Concubine Chen... The Ai family wants you to do it yourself."

After the Queen Mother sat down, she still looked dignified and said: "Don't be stunned, go to work quickly, remember to use your best skills."

Mu Luo lowered his eyes, paused for only a second, and then showed a bright smile again: "I know, I will definitely satisfy the Queen Mother..."

"Tsk, there are no rules." The Queen Mother frowned and taught: "To the Ai family, you have to call yourself 'concubine'. After all, you are from the palace. Don't overstep like a fool."

The servants hiding in the kitchen sighed when they saw this scene.

"She is still Concubine Chen after all. The Queen Mother is using her as a cook..."

"Who says she is not? After all, she is from another country. Even if the king comes to see her that night, which woman in the harem can think highly of our concubine Chen?"

"Tsk, slaves, stop talking nonsense! Go to work!"

Ying'er scolded, looked at Mu Luo walking toward the kitchen, walked up to him, and said, "Master... tell me what you want to do, just let the cook do it. There is no need to tire yourself..."

"Huh? But... what the Queen Mother said was that she wanted to eat the food I cooked." Mulo scratched his head stupidly and said, "I'll just do it. I'm familiar with this job. It won't take long... The Queen Mother recently

If the heat makes her feel angry, I will get her some vegetables to relieve the heat. If you are willing, you can stay and help."
