The Empress’s Gigolo

Chapter 20 Condiments

Ren Baqian arched his hands at some of the stewards and called some handyman to move a cart of ice cubes first, and followed a few guards into the palace.

There was a place at the gate of the palace connected with the Beast Garden. After checking the ice cubes and a few people, the people were put in.

When Ren Baqian came last time, he was full of thoughts about how to save his life, and I didn’t have much thought to look at 4 places.

When I came this time I relaxed a lot.

In general, the buildings of Great Yao are very rough. Most of the buildings in the Imperial Palace are made of stone, and some simple carvings show the roughness of Great Yao, but Ren Baqian is very interesting to see.

After all, that kind of exquisite garden Earth is too much, and this rugged exotic style makes him feel fresh.

Before reaching a palace, a few people waited outside, and the guards had reminded him to go in and report.

It didn’t take long for the guard to come out and waved at everyone: “Send the ice in.”

He said to Ren Baqian: “Follow me.”

After leaving the crowd, the guard said to Ren Baqian: “Your Majesty asks you to cook some exotic food. Do it well.”

“Many thanks!” Ren Baqian arched his hands. “What do you call brother?”

“My name is Shi, just call me Shi Hu.” The guard said with a smile.

“Brother Shi Hu and Guan Shi are their own?” Ren Baqian said curiously.

“From a stockade.”

Two people chatted for a few words, and Ren Baqian heard something: “Apart from Your Majesty in this palace, who else is there? I don’t see many people along the way.”

“There are some waitresses and handyman, and then we are the guards.” Shi Hu said.

Ren Baqian was slightly surprised that there was no Court Eunuch in this World.

It took more than ten minutes to walk to a small courtyard where dozens of people were busy.

This is the imperial dining room in the Imperial Palace, which is responsible for the emperor’s diet. If there are others in the Imperial Family, they are also responsible here.

The food of the guards, handyman, and waitress is in other places.

The steward of the Imperial Kitchen is a tall and fatty. I don’t know if the cooks are like this, but most of them are like this.

Especially the cooks here have to study various dishes every day, try various things, and eat the same. It doesn’t seem strange to get fatter.

“Gun, this is the manager of the animal garden. Your Majesty has a bad appetite today. Let him cook some exotic delicacies.” Shi Hu introduced the manager of the Imperial Kitchen.

Upon hearing this, the fatty’s face was obviously a little unhappy, and she immediately broke out: “When is it the turn of the Beast Garden to cook? Who is it for?”

“Hold things up, speak carefully.” Shi Hu said solemnly.

Hou Guanshi realized that his words seemed to be suspected of scolding Your Majesty, and quickly said: “Innocent words. Please don’t blame it.”

“The weather was very hot these two days. Your Majesty has a poor appetite. I didn’t eat much for lunch today.” Shi Hu continued.

“It’s my fault!” Gou Guanshi bowed his head. In any case, Your Majesty didn’t eat much, it must be the fault of the Imperial Kitchen. As for whether the weather is hot or not, I don’t use this to find a reason.

“This manager comes from outside and is also proficient in cooking, so Your Majesty asked him to cook some exotic food.”

“The imperial kitchen takes orders.” Gou Guan Shi cup one fist in the other hand.

Then he said to Ren Baqian: “Come here, just say what you use. I will see what kind of exotic food you make.”

It can be seen that although he verbally agreed, the resentment in his heart is not light. After all, the Imperial Dining Room is his site, and the chef of the Imperial Dining Room also has absolute confidence in his craft.

If a chef from somewhere shows his cooking skills, he might be willing to take a look and learn.

But a steward of the animal garden ran to cook for the emperor, making them feel comfortable does not raise.

Ren Baqian had seen him not quibble before, and directly admitted his mistakes, which was not bad for his senses. But the other party didn’t want to see him, and he didn’t need to have a good relationship with him.

All you have to do is to satisfy Empress.

The imperial dining room is mainly a huge room inside, and there are 2 smaller rooms next to it.

Ren Baqian walked into the largest house and took a look. There were various vegetables that he had never seen before, and there were many meats beside him.

The first thing Ren Baqian paid attention to was the seasoning.

I tasted them one by one, salt, brown sugar, a sweet and sour pit, soy sauce, vinegar, a kind of spicy fruit, a rhizome similar to ginger, and a pot of meat sauce that tastes weird. All seasoning.

It’s even scarcer than Ren Baqian thought. It’s scarce.

It is estimated that any family in China has more condiments than this.

In this way, the cook of the imperial dining room looked at Ren Baqian arrogantly to see what he could make.

Ren Baqian prides himself on his average cooking skills, and he certainly can’t make anything good with these things.

As for all relying on the taste of the ingredients themselves, Ren Baqian doesn’t even know the ingredients here. What can he do?

“How about, what are you going to do?” Gou Guanshi said with his head tall and looking down at Ren Baqian.

Ren Baqian was a little disappointed: “Just a few things, it’s not enough to make a fried noodle.”

When I heard this, I became angry on the spot: “The whole world is full of these things, and Great Xia and Yunguo Chen Guo’s Imperial Palace are also these. Your own level is not good, so don’t use our lack of things to find problems.”

Ren Baqian grinned, his craftsmanship is not very good, but if it is all about it, he has more choices.

And what about Great Xia and Yunguo Chenguo Imperial Palace? Ren Baqian didn’t really believe it.

How do you know what seasonings are available in Imperial Palaces in other countries?

And I heard that Great Xia is in the West, and there are still countries in the south of Chen Kingdom. Maybe these countries can get some spices from other places.

Although Ren Baqian didn’t speak, the indifferent expression on his face made it irritating.

The people in your animal garden ran to the dining room to cook for Your Majesty, and think we don’t have everything? It’s so irritating.

Can you take care of this royal dining room?

Hou Guanshi forced down his anger, coldly said: “What do you want?”

Ren Baqian shook his head slightly, and he naturally saw that he was unhappy about doing things. But your stuff is incomplete, it’s simply too little.

It is even more irritating to see him doing things like this: “What do you want? As long as there is something, I can find it for you. If not, I will say obediently and honestly that you are not good at cooking and go back to the animal garden.”

“Does MSG have? Is there any peppercorns? Aniseed? Is there cumin? Is there tahini? Is there any pepper? Is there any cinnamon…” Ren Baqian counted 7 kinds with his fingers, then raised his head and asked: ” Are these available? It’s fine if you can take them out.”

Hou Guan was taken aback beforehand. After thinking for a long time, he asked Ren Baqian: “What is it all?”

Ren Baqian gave a rough description of the flavor of pepper aniseed. After hearing the incident, he was furious: “You fool me? A bunch of nonsense, all unheard of, nothing in this world. If Your Majesty wasn’t waiting for you today, I would just Beat you out.”

“So you are incomplete.” Ren Baqian still shook his head, with a look on your face that you were really short-sighted, I was right, so I just exploded the affair.

“Take those things out and see if they are really what you said, otherwise I will never finish with you. Just tell Your Majesty, and I won’t let you go.” Gou Guanshi said with a voice, directly Dust fell from the roof.

The cooks in other imperial kitchens also scolded

“Where did you come from that talk nonsense? Don’t rely on Your Majesty to ask you to come over, just dictate in the imperial dining room.”

“Simply not what you said.”

“The nonsense came to the imperial dining room, and I don’t even look at the people here. Everyday all is dry and so on.”

“The people in the Beast Garden still cook?”

The grumpy person even cursed the 3-character scripture.

These people have never heard of what Ren Baqian said, so naturally they think it is nonsense. Adding his disapproving expression is really hateful.
