Eunuch Wan nodded: "Yes, although the fifth prince has a weak mind, he puts you at the forefront of his heart. Even though we are eunuchs, we are envious of you."
He said that among these princes and concubines, the fifth prince's concubine is the most blessed.
Hua Yanxi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Her novice is not mentally retarded, those are just deceptions.
When the time comes, he will become an unshakable towering tree and shock the world. She is waiting for that day.
After Hua Yanxi entered the palace, Ye Yibai did not sleep, but went to the big kitchen.
The cook in the kitchen is preparing lunch.
Although there are only two masters in the house, there are many servants. Their meals are prepared in the large kitchen, and they have to start preparing lunch after breakfast.
When they saw the fifth prince coming in with his hands behind his back, they all greeted him with smiles.
Many of them are newcomers, and some are old people.
At first, they would feel scared when they looked at the stupid fifth prince, worried that he would suddenly go crazy and hurt others. However, after getting along with him for a period of time, they found that the fifth prince had no airs and never punished his servants, and the fifth prince was holding him down.
, they are naturally respectful to him.
"Master, you are hungry. Here are some freshly steamed pastries." The cook smiled and opened the steamer.
Ye Yi Bai Xian glanced at it and clicked his tongue: "It's not as good-looking as Yan Yan's, and it definitely won't taste good."
The cook looked embarrassed: "I learned this from my wife's pastries, but my hands are not as skillful as my wife's. I will work hard."
Hearing the praise for Hua Yanxi, Ye Yibai, who was still sullen at first, nodded: "Then study hard."
Ye Yibai continued to ponder in the kitchen, looking behind the chef at one moment to look at the selection of vegetables, at another time at the chopping of vegetables, and at the same time looking at the ingredients they put in when cooking.
Ask a question from time to time.
Everyone in the kitchen just thought that the fifth prince was just wandering around in boredom.
Unexpectedly, after lunch was prepared and carried by a dedicated waiter to the canteen where the servants ate, several chefs saw the fifth prince holding a knife and started to get started.
Several people were frightened and stepped forward to persuade him: "Fifth Prince, this knife is not fun. Be careful of hurting your hand."
Ye Yibai frowned and said in a deep voice: "Back off!"
This sound was very powerful.
A few people had no choice but to watch from the sidelines, paying attention at all times to prevent accidents.
Ye Yibai was annoyed by being stared at, so he directly ordered: "You all stand down, I will do it myself."
"Fifth Prince, what do you want to do? Just tell the boys. You don't have to do it yourself."
"Yes, whatever you want to eat, Fifth Prince, we will cook it immediately. We know several major cuisines."
Several people said quickly.
Ye Yibai frowned: "No need for you, get out!"
Finally, Ye Yibai kicked everyone out and locked the door.
Several chefs stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at each other. They were still worried and could only lie down at the crack of the door and watch.
I saw the fifth prince holding a fish and scraping its scales on the chopping board. His movements were not considered skillful, but he was passable.
"Does the Fifth Prince plan to cook the food himself?"
"I didn't expect that the fifth prince is not only good at reading, he also seems to be quite talented in cooking."
"Is he planning to cook something for the fifth prince to eat?"
Several people talked about it and looked at it for a while. Seeing that there was no problem, they went to the canteen to eat.
However, shortly after they left, the big kitchen started to smoke.
When the people in the house found out, the big kitchen was already on fire, and the fifth prince ran out of the big kitchen in a state of embarrassment. His mask was blackened by smoke, and his body was covered in black patches, making him look particularly miserable.
Everyone hurriedly put out the fire and found that the source of the accident was a stove. There was a pot on the stove. The pot had been burned and deformed and could not be used. There was a burnt dried fish lying inside.
When Ye Yibai came back after changing his clothes, the large kitchen had been tidied up. He rolled up his sleeves and continued into the kitchen.
The cooks stopped at the door of the kitchen and said sadly: "Master, you can't go in anymore, it's too dangerous."
Ye Yibai looked serious: "I won't cook fish this time."
"Fifth Prince, you have lost half of the ingredients in the fire just now. If you go there again, the ingredients for today's dinner will be gone."
Ye Yibai frowned: "This prince's mansion belongs to me, right?"
"yes?"
"Then why don't you get out of the way? If you don't get out of the way, you won't have to do anything anymore."
This is what it means to fire people.
In the past, they would not be afraid, but now it is the fifth prince and concubine who is in charge.
The fifth prince's concubine is so doting on the fifth prince. If the fifth prince turns around and acts coquettishly, they will all leave en masse.
I could only reluctantly let him into the kitchen.
The next second, the kitchen door was locked again.
When Hua Yanxi came out of the palace and entered the mansion, she was surrounded by servants from the kitchen.
All of them looked disgraced and had tears in their eyes.
"What happened?" Hua Yanxi asked in confusion.
As soon as the words came out, everyone started chattering and complaining, which made Hua Yanxi feel dizzy.
"It's too noisy. Find someone who can explain it clearly."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally a cook stood up and said in a choked voice: "Madam, something bad has happened. The fifth prince has burned down the kitchen."
"I burned it three times." The servant on the side added.
"Hmm? Burning the kitchen? What's his hobby? Did you offend him?" Hua Yanxi asked doubtfully.
"How is it possible? Madam, you asked us to take good care of the master. How can we provoke him? It's not too late to provide for him. It's the fifth prince who came to the kitchen after you left. He kicked us out later. He was in the kitchen. Look.
It looked like he was going to learn to cook, but somehow the kitchen was set on fire." The cook said immediately.
"Cooking?" Hua Yanxi frowned: "I'll go over and take a look."
With that said, Hua Yanxi walked towards the big kitchen.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a few servants moving things out.
The top of the kitchen was disfigured by layers of black smoke.
The stove has been cleaned, but some traces can still be seen.
A few servants were pouring the unused vegetables into the large wooden tunnel, preparing to pack them out and throw them away.
Hua Yanxi glanced into the bucket and frowned: "Why are these vegetables so badly burned?"
The servant whispered: "These are the dishes prepared by the master. You can't eat them, you can only pour them."
It’s not that you can’t eat it, it’s all turned into charcoal, so how can you eat it?
"Where are the others?"
"The master saw that the big kitchen is no longer suitable for cooking, so he just went to the small kitchen." The servant said bravely: "The younger ones have tried to persuade us, but he said that if we dare to stop him, he will kick us out of the house.
"
Hua Yanxi pressed her forehead, turned to the people in the kitchen and said, "You go find the butler, withdraw the money, go to the restaurant outside to order a few tables for dinner, and wait until the kitchen is repaired before starting the fire."
After finishing the matter, Hua Yanxi rushed towards the small kitchen.
