Chapter 187
There was a chaotic situation in the Shangshi Bureau, and everyone heard Li De's shouting. No one dared to disobey. He felt nervous if he didn't know what happened.
"Guangluqing and Shangshi Bureau are all here." Ouyang Lanxin said after counting the number of people.
Li De looked at the people in the yard, without a neat team, only strange eyes and horror on his face. There were many accidents that could happen in the palace every day. Who knows if the next one would be himself?
Li De picked up the memorial in his hand, opened the page that was approved, and said: "The emperor wrote it himself, from now on, Shangshang Food Bureau will do its best to deal with the queen's birthday party. The menu I hold in my hand needs you to master within ten days."
"Ouyang Lanxin, you are responsible for copying the menu and everyone is in charge of having a copy. Next, I will divide the work of you." Li Dedao.
The kitchen has always been decided by the chefs, and Ouyang Lanxin can't interfere. She is not a cook who doesn't know how to cook. Now she is Guangluqing who knows how to cook. Their good days are over.
Li De's division of labor is very simple. The best cooking skills continue to take charge. If you are a little later, you will be a second chef. If you are again, you will be responsible for assisting, cutting side dishes, and splitting out the people who make pastries.
After such a job, the chefs were left with only two chefs, two of them served, and the remaining four became the second chef and the helper chef respectively.
The original mailboxes have also been reintegrated, and the kitchen handyman is responsible for fetching water, washing, burning fire and other work.
Li De did these things to show a posture. He is now managed by the Shangshi Bureau and everyone must obey.
The kitchen itself has chefs. They stand out and are valued and their treatment has been improved accordingly, but the pressure from both of them follows.
"Ouyang Lanxin, the number of cooks is still insufficient, and you are responsible for finding people." Li De said.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Ouyang Lan thought to herself.
Ouyang Lanxin was in trouble again. It was so easy to recruit a chef. She would post a notice board outside the palace wall. She didn't know if it would take ten days to do it.
"Everyone will go back to their respective positions first. The two chefs will prepare. I will cook a few dishes for you to demonstrate." After Li De said that, he went into the kitchen with the two.
At this time, the Shangshi Bureau was closed. The palace maids were waiting outside for a long time. Some palace maids curiously said, "What's wrong today? The Shangshi Bureau is not open, and the imperial concubine is still waiting for food."
"It's really strange. Why don't we go back and tell the masters? Or we'll wait for when we go?" said a palace maid again.
Those who are palace maids cannot change anything, but they are all concubines in the harem standing by. If they are favored, they can report the matter to the empress dowager. At that time, the people from Shangshi Bureau will definitely be punished.
At first glance, he was a scheming palace maid.
There are also palace maids knocking on the door outside.
There was no response just now, and the palace maid who couldn't wait to knock on the door again before receiving a response.
Ouyang Lanxin asked someone to open the door, and she felt very stressed when facing the palace maids.
"Ouyang Shangshi, why did the Shangshi Bureau open? My master sent someone to urge me several times. Can I go in and get food now?" the palace maid said coldly.
There are a few palace maids in a bad mood. They will definitely be punished if they delay their master's meals. Someone must give them an explanation, otherwise they will have to take the blame.
"Ouyang Shangshi, we must give us an explanation. Do you deliberately make things difficult for our master?" The palace maids all talked about their masters, and they all had confidence.
Ouyang Lanxin looked at the arrogant palace maid and looked calm. How could she say that she was a female official and her style was not comparable to that of a palace maid. Standing at the door, she had an aura invisibly.
"Dear sisters, please be careful. The food is ready for you. I'm sorry. Please take food in an orderly manner. Don't delay the preparation of the birthday party for Shangshi Bureau."
Ouyang Lanxin's faint words immediately made the palace maids shut up. The concubines around them had the energy to compare with the current queens. The palace maids knew that they were all human beings. They usually had a master to protect and do things more arrogantly. Whenever their masters could not afford to offend them, they would restrain their temper.
"Ouyang Shangshi, we have no intention of offending." The palace maid who was just right now said softening immediately. She was terrified that she was looking for a follow-up account afterwards.
If they eat all the food left or cold food in the future, they will be scolded by their master, and things like being involved in Shangshi Bureau are basically rarely seen.
Unless Shangshi Bureau offends people at the queen level, how is this possible?
Ouyang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief. Today's matter was finally over. She felt that she would not say anything about the new Guangluqing would do in the future.
"Would you like to remind me in the future?" Ouyang Lanxin felt it was really necessary to explain the situation of Shangshi Bureau carefully, just like Shangshi Bureau would not close the door for no reason.
Shangshi Bureau is not a restaurant outside the palace, and it can close the door at any time if you don’t want to open business. Their supply targets are the lord of the world and the entire harem, and none of them can be easily offended.
Ouyang Lanxin made up her mind that she would definitely put forward her own opinions on unreasonable things next time. She thought so in her heart, but in fact she was not confident enough.
Li De didn't know Ouyang Lanxin's worries. He was teaching the two chefs to cook dishes at this time. It seemed that the big pot of dishes was not difficult to cook but not easy to do.
The kitchen stoves are all earthen stoves, and the fire is not controlled by burning firewood. I don’t care about these things when I make things. There is no problem with steaming, but it is not possible to cook.
"If the fire is not strong, the person who comes to blow it with a bamboo tube." Li De ordered.
It’s not that he deliberately makes people difficult for others, but bamboo tubes are used when ignition, so they can be quickly printed and dyed by blowing them. The earth stove uses this wood, so it’s not that easy to cause fire.
Several servants fan and blowing all the means they can use, and the firewood will be more and more prosperous.
Li De guided on the side that the stir-fry should be evenly and the ingredients should be appropriate. Seeing that the dishes are almost the same, the chef started to prepare the ingredients.
The cooking in two large pots was completed and the tasting stage was entered.
After tasting it, Li De was very satisfied. It is worthy of being fried from the imperial chef. If you practice more, you can become a master.
"It tastes so good. Can we take some back?" The arch maids at the kitchen door were asking Ouyang Lanxin.
Li De looked out and looked out. This was the first time he had seen such a thing as the palace maids gathered. He couldn't help but envy the emperor again. The appearance of the women in the palace was still unspeakable.
The palace maids all look like this, so how can the concubines in the harem see it?
The kitchen staff are all open and you need to enter the kitchen to get food. There are a lot of palace maids at the door, while Ouyang Lanxin is maintaining order.
When the palace maids saw Li De, their emotions changed instantly. Their first reaction was: "Look at it, it's a man."
