The kitchen of Xiao shi's residence was now in Xiao shi's hands. With great difficulty he persuaded the ladies to let him cook for himself. Forced Xiao Shi to make a slight threat, that is, if they do not allow themselves to cook, he will put his own hands in hot oil and tell the queen and the emperor that his ladies-in-waiting did it deliberately because of dislike his on the Empress.
Hearing that, everything was silent. The problem was that Xiao Shi was not a person who could easily be underestimated, once he said A, then that was what would happen.
Everyone got out of the way without saying anything. Now Xiao Shi was looking through the materials in the kitchen, guessing what he was going to serve? He did not know how to cook in this era, the cuisine he knew was only the cuisine in his previous life.
After looking at the few ingredients and seasonings present, Xiao Shi finally knew what he was going to cook.
Xiao Shi began to reveal both of his sleeves up to his elbows, then he picked up the largest-sized knife there that made the maids hysterical.
" His Majesty stop it, we'll cook it"
" Your Majesty, you can get hurt for that"
" His Majesty stop we beg, if the emperor knows his then-"
DDDUUKKKK!
The big knife was thrown and stuck on the board close to the lady's neck. The dayang gulped his hard-earned saliva, his neck almost breaking.
" Speak again, then your neck will be my target" he threatened.
Feng Yue, Yuan, Yanran, Fu Tong, and Teng She even took a sip of their saliva. That was almost, a little more then it is certain that the head of the ladyboy will roll.
Feng Yue gestured by attaching her index finger to the lips so that the maids would be silent and not do anything.
Now the atmosphere was silent, only the sound of a knife cutting was heard. Xiao Shi was so serious about doing his activities, he cooked one kind of food with a considerable amount.
The maids were even astonished, why did the Empress cook so much? It was like cooking for a small festival.
Xiao Shi prepared, chopped, and gave the seasoning. While the maids only help peeling, blabbing in the quali, and bring some of his needs.
It's really like having a festival.
The afternoon changed, the food was ready. There are 5 types of food, because if you add more then the time will not be enough.
Xiao Shi was satisfied with his performance this time, he wiped the sweat frowned with his arm. Not bad cooking skills even though they have not been used for a long time.
He had even done plating for the food to be served. She made 3 separate bowls for each type of food. 2 others she ornamented as beautiful as possible, but one did not have time she ornamented perfectly, he said, because the material for decoration is less and the bowl is larger in size than the other two bowls.
" Alright, it's done" Xiao Shi said proudly as he shuffled his waist.
All the maids did not actually expect their Empress to be able to do this, cooking and decorating her own food. Even since then, the aroma of his cooking was out in their noses, making them eager to feel it.
" look? I wasn't hurt at all"
" You're right empress, thank you for not being hurt" said the head of the kitchen.
Xiao Shi nodded his head.
" Please deliver 1 bowl with the perfect decoration for the Queen Mother's dinner, and another one I will deliver myself to the emperor later" he said.
" well, empress. What about a big bowl?" asked Feng Yue.
" That bowl? Give it to mister Hao."
Yanran who was fanning his face with his hands was surprised, mister hao? Did he not hear wrong?
" Your Majesty..."
" That's right Yanran, give it to your father. Say I'm sorry I didn't decorate it perfectly. And you can eat it with your father there, I make it with a rather large portion so you can eat it together "
Tears had filled Yanran's eyes, he really did not expect an empress would do something like this to her father. The empress was her master, how could she do that to the father of her own servant.
Unable to stem the tears and the sense of smell, Yanran immediately prostrated and thanked him.
" Thank you for your grace empress, may the gods always bless you. May the gods always bless you"
" Wake up Yanran, mister hao I have considered like my own father. Don't worry, get up"
However Yanran was reluctant to get up, he even kept crying in his prostration. He's really moved now.
" And the rest of the food, I deliberately made more so that you could eat it too. Eat fairly and evenly, I've measured the dose to be enough for all of you"
Everyone was surprised.
" Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Ask the kitchen head.
" That's right, I made it so you guys could eat it too"
The head of the kitchen could not stand straight anymore. He staggered back, didn't he hear wrong ? An empress cooking for lowly maids like them?
Now, all the ladies prostrate in unison.
" Thousand blessings to a thousand reigns, may the gods always bless the empress" shouted the head of the kitchen followed by the entire palace ladies-in-waiting of the empress, including Feng Yue, Yuan and Yanran. They kowtowed and thanked the favor given by Xiao Shi.
" Wake up please, I am not a goddess to be treated like this. Awake"
Still no one moves.
" Well, if you don't wake up now don't blame me if you'll never wake up again!"
Suddenly everyone immediately woke up and stood up straight, including Yanran. She didn't even have time to wipe.
Xiao Shi thrust his handkerchief at Yanran. "wear it, your face is a mess"
" Thank you empress" said Yanran as she took her handkerchief.
" I'll clean myself up now, you can rest and eat the food"
" Let's Your Majesty" Yuan said.
" No, Yuan. I'll clean my own body"
" But empress..—"
" You delivered the food to the Queen Mother, and Feng Yue told Eunuch Han to prepare the royal back garden as before, no need for any decorations, just prepare it simply. And Yanran, deliver the food to your father. After that you can rest and eat the food, I will call you after "let Xiao Shi say then leave the kitchen and clean himself.
The ladies-in-waiting immediately took their bowls and queued to taste the Queen's cooking. Yuan picked up the food and started heading to Suri's mother's residence. So did Feng Yue and Yanran who immediately left with their respective duties.
The waiters who had gotten their food began to taste the dishes one by one.
" This is the best meal I've ever eaten!!" Called one of the guards. After that, he ate his food very well.
" You're right, the Empress is really good at cooking" the other bodyguard exclaimed.
All of that was approved by the others, the food they were eating right now was indeed very delicious. I don't know what grace is given by the gods so that they can be the empress' servants.
Behind the excitement of the ladies and the other bodyguards, the head of the kitchen was busy counting his own fingers.
" Four, five, ashhh how many spices did the queen add? And how much is that comparison? How could I not notice it "
" Once, stop taking notes. Just enjoy the food, you will never be able to match the empress "exciting another lady.
" Ashh that's not what I mean, ah already you won't understand "
Actually she did not want to match the empress, but she felt insecure. The empress could cook this delicious meal while every day she had to eat dishes that were far from delicious. As the empress' kitchen chief, shouldn't she be more formidable?
It's a very heavy burden for him.
