As the head of the kitchen, General Manager Chen naturally knew that as long as His Highness ate happily, their lives would be better. That was why he was so polite to Si Muran.
Si Muran smiled and replied," You're too polite, Manager Chen. I'll write a few recipes for you." I wonder what kind of flavor does your highness usually prefer?”
Si Muran asked, but in her heart, she wanted to poison Pei Chenshuo's food or something to end it all! On second thought, she decided to forget it. If she really poisoned Pei Chenshuo to death, it would definitely implicate the innocent people who worked in the kitchen.
"Wangye's taste is sour and spicy.”General Manager Chen replied.
Si Muran nodded and immediately searched for a sour and spicy recipe in the Encyclopedia. She soon found the answer. Si Muran smiled mysteriously. Sour and spicy. Pei Chenshuo, I'll give you a whole Sichuan Cuisine for you to try. I'll kill you!
General Manager Chen instructed the servants to bring over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Si Muran picked up the brush and wrote down a few representative dishes of Sichuan Cuisine. Boiled Fish, Twice-cooked Pork, Mapo Tofu, Yuxiang Shredded Pork, Spicy Chicken, and Dried Blood curd.
Si Muran looked at the plain Sichuan dishes and thought for a moment before adding a bowl of three delicacies soup. Si Muran did not know why she had added soup to Pei Chenshuo's bowl. In short, Si Muran was acting like a ghost.
After writing the recipe and handing it to Manager Chen, Manager Chen's eyes immediately lit up. "Miss Si, please wait a moment. I'll get someone to make it according to this recipe immediately.”
Si Muran nodded as she watched Manager Chen excitedly enter the kitchen with the recipe. Not long after, a spiciness wafted from the kitchen. Although it was pungent, there was an alluring fragrance in the spiciness.
Dishes were cooked one after another, and Manager Chen invited Si Muran to have a taste. Every dish was served in a small bowl for the customers to taste. Si Muran picked up her chopsticks and started to taste each dish.
In fact, she rarely ate Sichuan cuisine in the modern world, except for hotpot. However, today's dish made her feel that the Sichuan cuisine was also unique. Although it was spicy, it was delicious.
Si Muran nodded." It's indeed not bad. You guys should try it too."”
General Manager Chen didn't stand on ceremony. He also picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. "I really didn't expect that this spicy dish could be made to be so unforgettable. Miss Si, it's all thanks to your recipe.”General Manager Chen said happily.
Si Muran only wanted to mess with Pei Chenshuo, but she did not expect it to backfire. "Manager Chen, you are too polite. I see that these dishes are fine, so I will present them to your highness to taste!”Si Muran put down her chopsticks and said to General Manager Chen.
Manager Chen nodded and ordered the dishes to be served. Si Muran and Manager Chen also went to the front yard.
It was time for lunch. Pei Chenshuo was waiting anxiously in the study. Just as he was about to ask, the person who passed the food came in with the food boxes.
A table full of dishes was served and Manager Chen bowed respectfully to Pei Chenshuo,""Your Highness, please have a meal."
Pei Chenshuo stood up and walked to the table. Other than the bowl of soup in the middle, the rest of the dishes were all spicy.
"What are you making?" Pei Chenshuo glanced at Si Muran and asked.
Si Muran took a step forward and replied," Your Highness, this is called Sichuan Cuisine. Its specialty is numbness, spiciness, and sourness. It's definitely delicious."”
Pei Chenshuo picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of Mapo Tofu into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and tasted spicy. It was really good.
Pei Chenshuo tried the other dishes one by one. Although they were spicy, they were irresistible. Even if Pei Chenshuo had eaten all kinds of delicacies, he had never encountered such a situation.
Pei Chenshuo ate the eight dishes with relish. Manager Chen looked at the smile on Pei Chenshuo's face and could not help but admire Si Muran's cleverness.
Although the dishes were spicy, Si Muran had also prepared a soup. After the meal, a bowl of three delicacies soup immediately washed away the spiciness, and the meal was filled with endless aftertaste. Pei Chenshuo looked at Director Chen with satisfaction.""The dishes are not bad. Reward!"
General Manager Chen's face was filled with joy as he hurriedly said,""Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing General Manager Chen being led away by the butler to receive the reward, Si Muran thought that she should also get the silver and leave. "Wangye, can this woman also take the reward and leave?”Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo carefully.
Pei Chenshuo looked up at Si Muran's expectant expression and smiled.""You will stay in the wang fu for half a year and provide recipes for my kitchen. After half a year, this king will let you go.”
Si Muran's face darkened. She only wanted to punch Pei Chenshuo's head twice. This detestable guy. Si Muran took a deep breath to calm herself down.""Your Highness, when I came here, I didn't ask you to stay. You see…"
Pei Chenshuo shrugged. What was wrong with having no relatives in the Imperial Residence? Half a year later, this king will give you five thousand taels of silver as a reward.”
Si Muran was like a deflated balloon. Actually, she really wanted to tell Pei Chenshuo that she still had ten thousand taels here!
"Tomorrow, this king wants to eat something lighter.”Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran's sad face and could not help but smile.
Si Muran replied unhappily,""Yes." Then, he turned around and walked out.
After leaving the study, Si Muran revealed her true nature. She kicked a holly tree in the flower pond and cursed in her heart," Damn Pei Chenshuo, eat, I'll feed you until you're a pig!
Si Muran finally felt better after venting her anger. He lowered his head and looked at the tragic holly, muttering,""I'm sorry, if you want to blame someone, blame Pei Chenshuo.”
"Miss Si, so you're here.”The butler said as he walked over.
Si Muran turned to look at the butler and asked,""What's the matter, Butler?"
The butler was in his fifties and looked rather friendly. He said to Si Muran,""His Highness has instructed me to bring you to the backyard to stay. The room has been tidied up.”
Si Muran knew that she couldn't escape this no matter what. She could only thank him and follow behind the butler. However, he heard the butler say," His Highness asked this old servant to tell Miss Si that the Sun family has been informed of Miss Si's stay in the Prince's mansion. Miss Si, please stay in the Prince's mansion and don't think too much about it.”
Si Muran thought that Pei Chenshuo must have made up his mind to cut off all her escape routes. Hmph, Pei Chenshuo, do you think you can block my way by doing this?
Si Muran thought to herself that she would definitely run away when she had the chance. He wanted her to stay? Just wait and see!
Si Muran had used a delaying tactic. She had been quietly writing recipes for Pei Chenshuo in the kitchen for the past few days, preparing to feed him like a little pig.
On the other hand, she wanted to wait for Pei Chenshuo to let down his guard so that she could find a chance to slip away. Si Muran's life in the palace had always been focused on the kitchen, and she soon became very close to the people in the kitchen.
Other than preparing meals for Pei Chenshuo, the kitchen was also responsible for the meals of Pei Chenshuo's concubines. Si Muran was glad that she did not have to serve Pei Chenshuo's wives. Otherwise, she would definitely go crazy with the crafty nature of these women.
On this day, Si Muran wanted to go to the kitchen to find some food when she walked to the flower bed outside the kitchen and heard the conversation between a man and a woman. "Brother Bao, you must be careful when you secretly put this powder in Secondary Consort Li's food.”The woman's voice was seductive and gentle.
"Ling, what is this?" The man called Brother Bao asked.
Xiang Ling smiled and tugged at Brother Bao's sleeve.""Our Empress doesn't want Li Tianqiao to be pregnant with His Highness's child, so this is just a powder to make people infertile.”
"Ling, are we really going to do this?”Brother Bao asked hesitantly.
"Brother Bao, you know. Only when our niangniang is favored can we have a foothold in the wang fu. This way, you and I don't have to always meet in secret.”Xiang Ling's voice was weak and pitiful.
Brother Bao's heart was a little shaken. He took the powder from Xiang Ling's hand and said,"Alright, I'm willing to do anything for you.”
Xiang Ling smiled gently and fell into Brother Bao's arms. Brother Bao hugged her and got carried away. Si Muran really didn't mean to pry into other people's secrets. It was just that the two of them didn't find a more secluded place to talk about secrets.
Si Muran gritted her teeth and was about to leave without anyone noticing. However, the more careful she was, the more mistakes she made. Si Muran accidentally knocked over a flower pot at the side and revealed Si Muran's existence with a bang.
Just as the two of them were immersed in a state of ecstasy, they heard a sound. They looked up and saw Si Muran standing in the flowers, smiling awkwardly. Si Muran recognized the man. The waiter who worked in the kitchen seemed to be called Zhao Tianbao. As for that woman, Si Muran had seen her a few times in the residence. She was Xiang Ling, the servant girl of the secondary consort, Jiang Yunyan.
When Zhao Tianbao saw Si Muran, his face was filled with fear. He could not help but tighten his grip on the thing in his hand. Xiang Ling glared at Si Muran with hostility.
"The weather is really good today. The two of you are also admiring the flowers. I won't disturb you anymore. I didn't sleep well when I came in. My ears are heavy. I can't hear what others are saying clearly. It's really strange!”Si Muran only wanted to make her stance clear. It had nothing to do with her who they wanted to harm.
"Stop right there." Xiang Ling berated and then gave Zhao Tianbao a look. Zhao Tianbao understood and hurriedly left.
Si Muran turned around and looked at Xiangling. She turned her head sideways and looked at this arrogant girl. She heard that Pei Chenshuo had three consorts, and the servants said that Pei Chenshuo doted on each consort equally.
Although she had never seen Jiang Yunyan before, she had heard the servants in the residence mention him. It was said that this Secondary Consort Jiang was a little rude, unreasonable, arrogant, and overbearing. Indeed, one could tell what kind of person this master was just by looking at her servant girl.
"Miss, are you calling me?" Si Muran asked with a smile.
"Who else should I call? Is there anyone else here?”Xiang Ling said aggressively.
Si Muran stood up straight and prepared to listen to the rest of Xiang Ling's words. As expected, Xiang Ling said in a threatening tone,""If you know what's good for you, shut your mouth. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.
Si Muran pretended to be timid and lowered her head.""Yes, thank you for your guidance, sister."
Xiang Ling took a glance at Si Muran. Seeing that she looked like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world before, she felt a little smug. Si Muran watched Xiangling leave with her head held high and secretly stuck out her tongue behind her. Indeed, the backyard of the Prince's mansion was a battlefield without smoke.
After thinking about it, the culprit could only be Pei Chenshuo. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't marry so many wives? Having enjoyed the happiness of Qi Ren, Si Muran wondered if she should tamper with his meals so that he couldn't pamper women.
Si Muran's eyes darted around and she secretly praised her idea!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
