115. It is not suitable to be grassy, but to be careful

The landlord’s house had no food left, and the King Yu Palace had no snacks.Fang Hengbai made a trip and returned to the palace empty-handed.

He knew that it was best to avoid Commander Lin, so he quietly entered the house after finding out that Li Han was not near the Diligent Government Hall's imperial study room, rather furtively.

With a wave of his right hand, Pei Niancheng skillfully threw out a memorial, which spirally flew into the pile of notebooks beside the table.At the same time, he picked up a new booklet with his left hand, without raising his head:

"Fang Heng is you, where's the dim sum?"

Fang Heng saw very keenly that his master had cleared out the messy place in front of the desk in advance to create an empty space, apparently for snacks.

He thought to himself, this is not good, the master was looking forward to Wang Ye's snacks so much, but he didn't get anything back.I don't know if the master will vent his anger on him when he is in a bad mood.If it is not enough to vent anger, it would be quite bad luck to be angry.

"Return to the master, His Royal Highness King Yu said, he hasn't made any dim sum recently, and there is nothing extra, because he is recently..."

Preparing for the Laba Festival...

Before the second half of the sentence was spoken, Pei Niancheng was completely absent-minded, and the corners of his eyes drooped.Looking at the seemingly endless papers that can never be finished, suddenly feel a little depressed:

"Huh? How did this happen? My brother hasn't brought snacks to the palace for many days. I thought it was because my brother didn't do it before. Why didn't he do it before, and he hasn't done it recently..."

Fang Heng wondered how he knew what was going on, but at the moment the master's mood was clouded, he naturally didn't dare to say a word, just shrank his head and remained silent, acting like an ostrich.

Only after the master mutter finished, he dared to say:

"However, King Yu Palace agreed to the subordinate's proposal. The chef there, Yingwei Yunshao, promised to make more snacks for the subordinate, and let the subordinate go to the palace in two days..."

Pei Niancheng stopped the vermilion pen in his hand and looked up at him:

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Fang Heng: "..."

Pei Niancheng suddenly became interested, and then asked:

"Is that Yun Shao good enough? How many dim sum do you want her to make?"

"Returning to the master, I heard that she is quite talented in dim sum. Usually, the dim sum for the shadow guards in King Yu Palace is made by her. After all, it is impossible for His Royal Highness King Yu to make so many with his own hands every day.".”

"There are nearly 300 shadow guards in the palace. I thought, do not worry about scarcity, but rather about uneven distribution. This food is not a favor or a reward, but everyone should have a share, so that it will not cause trouble.They have a lot of thoughts, so they wanted to set a number of three hundred."

"However, Yun Shao ordered 200 shares in one bite, and his subordinates could not refute it. It made his subordinates a little bit embarrassed about how to share with all the shadow guards in the palace."

Pei Niancheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked a fundamental question:

"How much is one serving?"

"Then Yunshao said that there are ten dim sum in one serving."

Pei Niancheng said righteously:

"Since you are not easy to share, then of course I will share your worries. Out of the 200 shares, I will have 50 shares, and the remaining 150 shares will be equally divided between you."

Fang Heng: "........."

Although His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, it is normal for him to monopolize a bunch.But he still wanted to say——

Master, are you a pig?When are you going to eat the 500 dim sum???

Although His Majesty's imperial meals are usually prepared table by table, seventy or eighty dishes are served on top of each meal.It's about the respect of the emperor, whether or not His Majesty eats it is one thing, and he would rather throw it away in the end than arrange the noodles.

But the problem is... King Yu Palace's dim sum is not for His Majesty to show off... ah...!Your Majesty, can you save some more for us!

Fang Heng bowed and stood in front of the desk, dressed in black and standing respectfully.While there was no expression on his face, it seemed as if a groundhog was dancing and shouting in his heart.

Pei Niancheng clicked his tongue:

"I eat one in the morning, one in the afternoon for tea, one in the evening, and two in the evening when I'm hungry. This day is five. Is it a lot for ten days, huh?"

"..."

Fang Heng looked melancholy, Master, you are right in everything you say.

Pei Niancheng gave a "tsk" sound:

"You don't know how to settle accounts. She can make 200 copies for you in two days, and you ask her to make 200 copies in two days. Isn't that enough for your shadow guards?"

"...Yes, yes, what the master said is very true. Then Yun Shao wanted to drag Professor Lou together, and he thought it was done very quickly."

His intention of saying this is of course to remind the master that it doesn't matter how much you order, if Lou Yefeng gets tired, do you think the prince will give you a slap?

However, Pei Niancheng suddenly thought deeply:

"Then Yun Shao wants to drag Lou Yefeng together? Tsk...that's interesting..."

What kind of person is Pei Niancheng? When sending letters to his brother earlier, Pei Nianyu also gossiped about the private money of his old building.At this moment, Pei Niancheng understood what was going on with Fang Heng's brief piece of information, and began to calculate in his heart.

"Okay, I see, you go back first."

"Well...the lord has something else to tell his subordinates. The lord said he was cooking Laba porridge, and asked if you would like to try it tomorrow..."

Pei Niancheng slapped the table:

"Why didn't you say so sooner! I've already decided to go to the various yamen of Capital to inspect the porridge donation ceremony tomorrow!"

A necessary routine political show, and, my brother's Laba porridge.

After quick weighing, Pei Niancheng decided that I want both the fish and the bear's paw:

"You go back to King Yu. I will go there tomorrow after my inspection. I will try my best to do it as soon as possible...well, maybe at noon or not."

"yes."

………………

After Fang Heng left, the inner study became quiet again, but Pei Niancheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

He glanced left and right, and suddenly saw a black figure standing there silently in the corner of the bookshelf far away.

Pei Niancheng was taken aback, and could barely make out the outline of the figure hidden in the dust:

"Li Han?"

Only then did Li Han come out, his voice was a bit heavy:

"The subordinate just came back after finishing his work. He just saw you having a happy conversation. He didn't show up for fear of disturbing the 'secret conversation' between you and Deacon Fang."

Pei Niancheng: "..."

He sat on the wax immediately, and the vermilion pen in his hand stopped turning, and it was frozen on his fingertips - didn't he hear everything!

Pei Niancheng was so embarrassed that he decided to pretend he didn't know anything, and didn't answer a word, but turned around and continued to critique his notes.

However, how could Li Han let it go, and walked slowly to the owner, and said sadly:

"Master...how can you indulge these shadow guards like this!"

"Not only let them go to the palace every one or two days, but also make close friends with the shadow guards over there. Master, more than half of the shadow guards in our palace were born at the same time as Lou Yefeng, and they have been watching Lou Yefeng for a long time.Ye Feng is an excellent example. You let them keep in touch with Lou Yefeng like this..."

Pei Niancheng's face turned cold, and he raised his eyebrows:

"So what, I said, my brother doesn't need you to worry about it, can my shadow guards go to King Yu Palace just because of a few snacks? Li Han, are you insulting their loyalty or insulting their loyalty?"Your own prestige?"

"I don't know why you keep caring about this matter. My shadow guards have been going through life and death every day to protect me, and I... I really have nothing to give them except my personal possessions. It's just some snacks, I'll go for themWhat's wrong with asking for some blessings?"

Seeing that his master rarely spoke harshly to him, Li Han first endured the anger silently, but... after Pei Niancheng finished speaking, he still said:

"The subordinates think that Fang Heng used the name of the shadow guard to negotiate with His Highness King Yu, and finally let the shadow guard in the palace owe King Yu Palace a favor. After all, it is not appropriate to receive favors from others."

Pei Niancheng suddenly sneered:

"Are you ashamed to say that the shadow guards in the palace owe His Royal Highness King Yu a favor? Aren't you the one who owes the most favors?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it in a ball at Li Han's feet:

"My brother has given you so many medicinal recipes since he knew that your old disease was stubborn. You didn't know what to do at the time and didn't ask for it. He was afraid that you would refuse, so he sent it to me directly!"

"There are three hundred shadow guards in the palace, and the one he cares about the most is you, Li Han! Why, do you want to break your heart to prove your innocence?"

Li Han quickly knelt down:

"...This subordinate dare not! This subordinate does not mean that!"

"What's wrong with you, my brother has always cared about you, but you don't know good people. I was puzzled, Li Han, why do you avoid seeing my brother like you are seeing the king of hell, huh?Now even the shadow guards are not allowed to buy a snack?"

Li Han's complexion suddenly turned pale.

His expression froze for a long time, then he suddenly lowered his head slowly, and said word by word:

"Subordinate...I really don't want to be favored by His Highness King Yu. Master, why don't you return the medicinal recipe to His Highness King Yu."

Pei Niancheng finally got angry, and suddenly slapped the table:

"Li Han, what are you messing around with! You don't cherish your body, but I still do!"

Li Han: "..."

He suddenly didn't know what it was like.

Pei Niancheng looked at Li Han who was a little shrunken, and heaved a long sigh:

"Forget it, let me think about it,"

In fact... what Li Han said is not unreasonable.

It's not that the shadow guards owe his brother favors or anything, but that it's not good to bother his brother all the time for snacks.

If his brother didn't do it himself, he would let Lou Yefeng do it.If he asked for too many snacks, wouldn't that be a time that would affect his husband and wife?

Always trouble his brother, it's not like that.After a long time, others will think that the food in this imperial dining room is not as high as the food in King Yu Palace.If the rumor spread, it would not be a good thing for him or his brother.

But what should bother his brother is still troublesome... such as... medicated diet.

Between "Li Han's body" and "Snacks of the Three Hundred Shadow Guards", Pei Niancheng made a choice in less than a second:

"Li Han, you must finish the medicinal meal on time. It's my request, and it has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel that you have been rewarded by the prince because of this. There is no need to discuss this matter, you must listen to me."

"As for the snacks for the shadow guards... I will send a group of experts from the imperial dining room to take them to the palace in a few days, let my brother teach them, and then put them back after learning. This way...you don't have to go to the palace to ask for it all the time.Let my brother do it."

Li Han suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know if it was because of the master's wise decision, or because he didn't ask "why you don't want to be favored by His Royal Highness King Yu".

"Yes, the master is wise, and the subordinate understands."

"...Don't flatter me, just remember to eat your medicinal food!!"

………………

Here, Fang Heng went to the palace again a few hours later. While telling the master that he was coming to drink Laba porridge, he also came to discuss with Pei Nianyu about "whether he can teach the people in the imperial dining room".

Pei Nianyu thought to himself that the Imperial Dining Room was one of the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the staff and workers in it were... eunuchs.

It's not that he discriminates against eunuchs, but mainly places like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which can be said to be the worst-hit area of bureaucracy in the inner palace.

He couldn't help but feel a little headache, the eunuchs in the imperial dining room had different thoughts, they were not like the cooks and cooks who were dedicated to learning how to cook.Don't come to his mansion, fighting openly and secretly, all kinds of monsters are staged, it's a mess.

"Those people in the imperial dining room..."

Pei Nianyu was just about to refuse, but the system that hadn't given the main task for a long time suddenly popped up a task icon, and Pei Nianyu quickly opened it:

"Task":

It is difficult to spread the true meaning of cooking widely by one's own strength. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish.There is a long way to go to popularize basic cooking skills. It is better to start with every apprentice who can teach.

mission target:

Teach the ordinary dishes of the royal chefs in the royal dining room to reach the level of at least edible.

mission rewards:

Special Medicinal Diet Formula: Guben Peiyuan Pill

Pei Nianyu was first attracted by the reward, the Consolidation and Peiyuan Pill?

He clicked on the introduction and found that this Consolidating Root and Peiyuan Pill was used to repair old internal injuries and strengthen the foundation at one time.

Ok??

This is very appropriate to give one to each of the shadow guards as a New Year's gift!!

"This matter, since His Majesty has spoken, I will naturally agree! You can reply to your master. But..."

But after he taught the people in the imperial dining room, he would definitely not let Yun Shao Lou Yefeng make desserts again. The source of Lou Yefeng's private money... um...

"But you have to ask your master, this skill requires close training, the imperial chef in the imperial dining room learns the skill, the number of this training..."

After a while, Fang Heng came back with Pei Niancheng's secret note, and Pei Nianyu unfolded it:

"Brother, do you want to send money to your old building again? Do you want the old building to be a cooking instructor and watch them practice? This is easy to handle. How much you need to repair this bundle depends on tomorrow's Laba porridge..."

Pei Nianyu knew that these eunuchs were all worth a lot of money.In order to make Ye Feng, his family, earn a lot of money justifiably, he also went all out, with a wave of the pen, flamboyantly:

"What kind of Laba porridge do you want? I'll make it for you right away!"

After a while, Fang Heng came back with a note again, but this time the note was much longer:

"Purple rice and glutinous rice are the main ones. Jiang rice is also fine, but white rice and green rice are not."

"The taste should be sweeter and thicker, but it should be sweet naturally, without sugar."

"No honey either."

"I want some peanuts, and the peanuts need to be cooked softer."

"No walnuts, no lotus seeds, no green silk."

"No white kidney beans, no big beans, red beans should be cooked softer."

"You can have rose water, put less, don't cover up the taste of rice."

"There can be a little sweet-scented osmanthus juice, but it's only good to put on top, don't have sweet-scented osmanthus flavor in the porridge."

"Sprinkle sesame salt on top of the porridge."

"Do you know sesame salt, white sesame, not black sesame!!!"

Pei Nianyu: .........

He sighed for a long time, and told Yun Shao beside him:

"...Go and get another casserole."

The author has something to say:

Pei Niancheng: There is nothing that money cannot solve.

Pei Nianyu: I want to beat someone up.
