First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"If he behaves himself, I can give him a way to live, turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know. After all, a man like him would join the army for what else if not for money? As long as he doesn't go too far, I can tolerate it." Wei Ling said, "But he pissed me off! So I won't leave him this way to live! Instead of being troubled by him endlessly in the future, I might as well trouble him once and solve the root of the problem!" After saying that, Wei Ling walked forward with his hands behind his back, leaving only his back to Xie Yingfeng.

Xie Yingfeng curled his lips, "Remember to remind me not to mess with you next time!" He chased after her and said.

It was almost evening when Su Jixiang returned to Changliu Palace again.

"You're back?" Mei Fei was Mei Fei after all. During the time when Su Jixiang was away, she was able to occupy a good position. There was no wind here and it was a little warm.

"Yeah." Su Jixiang was a little worried, so his answer to Concubine Mei was very perfunctory.

"The meal was just distributed. I saw that you hadn't come back yet, so I asked for an extra portion for you. I was afraid you would be hungry." Mei Fei took out a white steamed bun from her bosom and handed it to Su Jixiang. "It's a little hard to swallow, but at least have a bite."

Su Jixiang then came to his senses and took the steamed bun. Concubine Mei was indeed a noble lady who did not know the sufferings of the common people and found the white flour steamed buns difficult to swallow.

"Has the Queen eaten?" Su Jixiang asked.

"I've eaten it. You can eat it." Mei Fei said with a little pride. She was still thinking about Su Jixiang. How great.

"By the way, what did they ask you to do?" Mei Fei asked while Su Jixiang was eating a steamed bun.

"I tried to make snacks, but failed." Su Jixiang said.

"Oh, are you afraid that you will poison me?" Mei Fei asked again.

"No, some of them were fighting." Su Jixiang said.

As soon as she said that a fight had broken out, everyone around her looked at her.

"Aunt Su, do you think we will be executed?" a little palace maid asked tremblingly.

Su Jixiang was a first-class palace maid, so it was not an exaggeration to call her aunt.

"I can't say for sure." Su Jixiang took a bite of the steamed bun, "But I think we won't die so soon..." She couldn't think of any good words to comfort the little palace maid, so she could only say this.

"Wow..." The little palace maid burst into tears immediately.

"Su Jixiang, don't speak anymore!" another palace maid scolded.

"Yeah? It's you?" Su Jixiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Feicui, the head maid in the Chenfei Palace. "Why didn't your master take you with him when he left?"

Jade's expression froze for a moment and she turned her head away.

Yes, the master left and abandoned her...

"How good are you? Just a stinky woodcutter!" Jade muttered.

When the Concubine Chen fell in love with Su Jixiang, she was very dissatisfied. She had been with the Concubine Chen for many years, so why did the Concubine Chen choose Su Jixiang from the cold palace instead of her? From that time on, she hated seeing Su Jixiang!

Disputes between palace maids were common in the palace, so no one paid attention to the quarrel between Su Jixiang and Feicui.

What a time it is, and they still have the mind to bicker. These two people are quite free.

The people in Changliu Palace spent another day there, and before dawn the next day, Su Jixiang was taken away again.

This time, breakfast was to be prepared for the King of Huainan and several of his close ministers, still in Haitangzhai.

It seems that the King of Huainan will live in Haitangzhai during the days before he becomes emperor.

Today, there was not only her in the small kitchen of Haitangzhai, there were also two chefs. When they saw that the thin palace maid in eunuch's clothes was brought by the guards, they looked at her with disdain.

"The person the prince is talking about is you!" One of them looked Su Jixiang up and down, "What have you done to make General Wei eat her food when he has a stomachache?"

"It's nothing special, just some light food that General Wei happens to like." Su Jixiang replied very modestly.

"Okay, you can use whatever you want here. Prepare breakfast for His Highness and the others." Another chef made way, but there was still some uncertainty and contempt in his eyes, "If you encounter any difficulties, call us. I'll leave this to you first."

"Thank you." Su Jixiang was convinced. There was nothing wrong with his etiquette.

Su Jixiang looked at the things inside and couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, Masters, where are you from?"

"Except for a few who are originally from the capital, the rest all followed our prince from Huainan." A master chef sitting on the bench at the door replied lazily, he didn't even open his eyelids.

From Huainan area.

Su Jixiang thought about it. Although the Daxie Dynasty had never appeared in the history textbooks that Su Jixiang had studied, she had been here for so many years and based on her understanding of this place, the mountains, rivers, geography, and cultural distribution here were almost the same as those in ancient China.

Therefore, the Huainan area is almost within the borders of Anhui and Jiangsu, while the capital is near Luoyang in China. The customs and habits are very similar, almost exactly the same.

The products of the Daxie Dynasty were very similar to those of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China at that time.

So based on their eating habits and preferences, Su Jixiang quickly thought of several ways to make snacks.

This is what she slowly analyzed after returning to Changliu Palace yesterday.

She first mixed two kinds of noodles, cold water noodles and hot noodles, then made a pot of noodles, and soaked glutinous rice and some needed dry goods in clean water.

There were fresh vegetables in the small kitchen. She took some peas, carrots and corn and chopped them into small pieces. She also took some fresh meat, washed it and chopped it into minced meat, and added salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and chopped green onions to season it.

Then Su Jixiang put some rice into the pot and boiled it.

She saw salted duck eggs and fresh river shrimps in the basket. The shrimps were quite big, so she removed the heads and tails of the shrimps, picked out the shrimp meat and removed the shrimp threads. It was a delicate job and quite time-consuming, but fortunately not many river shrimps were needed.

After all the ingredients were prepared, she first sliced the cucumber, marinated it, and made crispy pickled cucumber slices.

Then she used the dough she had kneaded to make an Anhui-style Huizhou cake, also known as jujube paste cake. The filling was ready-made jujube paste, which she rolled into a ball and wrapped in the skin she had made. It was pressed into ice, put in a pan, brushed with sesame oil, and fried until both sides were golden brown.

When Su Jixiang started to make the date paste crispy cake, the aroma of sesame oil wafted in, and the two chefs couldn't help but look in his direction.

She steamed another basket of steamed dumplings, the filling of which was the glutinous rice she had just steamed mixed with a little lard and meat sauce, and added some corn, peas and diced carrots.
