Chapter 248 Chef Ah Wu, I won’t eat it but take it away
Wei Ting’s face was like frost beating an eggplant, and his eyes were gloomy.
Everyone who saw him thought he had been reprimanded again and was completely disappointed in the emperor.
The monarch and his ministers have reached the end of their rope.
After the morning dynasty, there is still a while before noon.
Emperor Wu Su was approving the seals, and from time to time he would look up at the engravings on the right side of the hall.
The floating arrow in the clepsydra did not move for a long time. Emperor Wu Su said angrily: "Li Yuzong, go and see if the clepsydra is broken?"
Li Yuzong walked over. Check, the thin water is still flowing, there is nothing abnormal.
The emperor was dissatisfied with the slow passage of time
Li Yuzong said righteously: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed a problem with the engraving, it is not accurate."
Emperor Wu Su frowned and said, "Get a new one."
Li Yuzong asked Xiao Dongzi to go to the House of Internal Affairs to bring a new engraved watch, and brought refreshments.
"Your Majesty, these are the newly made snacks in the imperial dining room."
Smelling the smell of pastries, Emperor Wu Su's staff moved around in the imperial pen without any hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to eat it, take it away."
Li Yuzong ordered the palace servants to take away the tray.
Emperor Wu Su raised his head and said: "Wait a minute."
Li Yuzong asked carefully: "Your Majesty, will I put this old slave back for you again?"
It looks colorful and smells sweet. Emperor Wu Su didn't like these greasy snacks, but at first glance it looked like something Ji Qingwu would like. Last time at Cining Palace, he saw her eating crabmeat cakes and they were so delicious.
He raised his chin and said: "Send it to the Queen Mother's palace."
Emperor Wu Su thought that Xi Jin's spies were still in the dark, and said again: "Give it to the masters of each palace." Give them all a copy.”

Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother sent Ji Qingwu to prepare lunch, which she had never imagined.
Fanghua took the two young palace servants and led Ji Qingwu to the small kitchen.
Ji Qingwu walked around after coming in. Everything here is quite complete.
Until the palace attendant came forward and put a silk and linen collar on her waist and tied the wide sleeves.
Ji Qingwu then realized that something was wrong, his eyes were surprised, and he turned around and said, "Aunt Fanghua, do you really want me to do this myself?"
She originally thought that the chef After the ladies prepared the dishes, she stood aside and watched the preparation process. When the emperor came and asked how the dishes were made, she would be able to answer them.
At best, she stretched out her hand with a shovel and turned over the vegetables a few times, even if she had done it.
Fanghua said with a smile: "The Queen Mother means that you should do it yourself, so that your intentions can be shown."
Ji Qingwu really didn't know where the Queen Mother got her confidence.
Looking at the jade delicacies in the food basket, she suddenly felt as helpless as a eunuch going to a brothel.
She doesn’t know how to cook.
It’s okay for me to fool around with my cooking skills. When cooking for children, as long as the mix is reasonable and the nutrition is comprehensive, it’s fine.
When you get it to the palace, you won’t be able to get on the stage at all.
Ji Qingwu stood in front of the stove in the small kitchen and thought hard for a long time.
Fanghua and the palace people beside her were all watching. Ji Qingwu couldn't think of anything else, so he simply cleared everyone out.
Only herself was left in the small kitchen. Ji Qingwu walked around and finally picked a few common ingredients.
Fanghua outside the door can clearly hear the thud of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board. Although he can't tell how good the knife is, his strength is not small.
In just half an hour, the door to the small kitchen was pushed open by Ji Qingwu.
Fanghua asked in surprise: "Miss Fifth, what do you need?"
Ji Qingwu stood at the door with his hands on his hips and said, "You don't need anything, you can prepare to eat."
>The aroma of vegetables drifted out along the door, but the smell was mixed, and Fanghua couldn't smell what it was.
"Fifth Miss, are you ready now?"
Ji Qingwu nodded and said: "Okay, please ask aunt to arrange for someone to put it in a feeding box."
Fanghua looked inside and found that there was only one dish in the stove.
She said in embarrassment: "But."
There are sixteen dishes for lunch in the imperial dining room every day. Isn't it too shabby to only have one dish today?
Ji Qingwu didn't care. The Queen Mother asked her to prepare the meal, so she should be mentally prepared. She asked: "Is the emperor here?"
"The Holy One has just arrived and is talking to the Queen Mother in the front hall."
Fanghua handed the small tray in the hands of the palace attendant behind her to Ji Qingwu's eyes.
Her eyes lit up, she picked up a piece of red pastry and took a bite.
After Ji Qingwu swallowed it, his eyes narrowed with satisfaction and he thanked: "My aunt still cares about me and knows how to give me some food to cushion my stomach."
Fanghua became gentle. With an expression on his face, he said with a smile: "This is not because I feel sorry for you. It was sent here personally by Eunuch Li, the emperor."
Hearing this, Ji Qingwu's face began to turn as red as the snack.
Fanghua whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear clearly: "The Holy One has always been thinking about you."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it, she thought again Back to the kitchenette.
Fanghua heard a lot of beatings and beatings inside again. When Ji Qingwu came out again, his light green jacket was stained with flour.
Ji Qingwu just put down his rolled up sleeves.
Fanghua said: "Fifth Miss, we have to get there quickly."
Ji Qingwu said: "I checked the time, I should be able to make it in time, there is no need to rush."
Fanghua said: "Urgent!"
It was still a while before the normal time for meals, but Li Yuzong sent Xiao Dongzi to hurry up.
It seems that the emperor is anxious, and so are the eunuchs.
On the way from the kitchen to Cining Palace, Ji Qingwu was urged all the way by Aunt Fanghua. His steps were hurried and the pendant on his waist jingled.
As soon as she entered the palace, before she could salute, the Queen Mother stood up from the throne.
"Qingwu, you child, the Ai family has said that you don't need to do any work, so you must cook a meal for the Ai family to show your filial piety."
Ji Qingwu: "."
After Emperor Wu Su came for a while, the Queen Mother sat with him, and was about to ask Shi Xi to urge him, when Ji Qingwu appeared.
After Ji Qingwu finished the ceremony, she looked up and saw the emperor's eyes falling on her waist.
She also lowered her head and looked over. There was no flour on her clothes, and the tassels of her jade pendant were still shaking.
Ji Qingwu's ears felt hot and she did not dare to look at Emperor Wu Su. She lowered her eyes and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, you can have a meal."
A few people moved to the dining room hall.
Two palace servants came in carrying a large food box.
He took out a blue and white plate with a folded edge. This plate was placed on the table, occupying one-third of the space.
The palace's exquisite meals have changed into a completely heroic one.
Except for Ji Qingwu and Fanghua, the others were speechless after seeing it.
Emperor Wu Su looked at the dozen or so meat and vegetable dishes on the plate and couldn't help but laugh.
“What is the name of this masterful dish?”
Ji Qingwu said: "...I forgot." She learned this from the peasant woman she stayed with during her escape.
She said sincerely: "It looks chaotic, it tastes delicious, and it is full."
Hearing her words, the Queen Mother struggled to squeeze out the words between her teeth.
“Qingwu, this is all you did?”
“There are others.”
Ji Qingwu took out a plate of cold shredded chicken and cucumbers from the snack box, as well as the tortillas she made.
The cake is still steaming, and a natural aroma of corn overflows.
The Queen Mother said with a complicated mood: "You have been away for so many years, and your life has been really hard."
While the Queen Mother was speaking, Emperor Wu Su had already picked up a chopstick.
Ji Qingwu stared at him closely and swallowed.
Ji Qingwu: Delicious and inexpensive, affordable, good for both mouth and stomach
