Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 231 2 Foodies

Ningyuxuan.

Green Bean's eyes lit up when she looked at the food scattered on the floor. She had been feeling very frustrated these past few days. Without a small kitchen, she would have no place to use her skills: "Miss, these things need to be dealt with quickly." Once they were dealt with quickly, she could show her cooking skills.

Seeing Green Bean's excitement, Huang Ye was also infected by her. She asked Fanghua to call everyone in the yard and ask them to help wash the pig heads, pig offal, duck necks, duck wings and other meat and vegetables. They would have dinner together in the evening. It was also a gathering for everyone on the first day of the small kitchen's opening.

All the people working in Ningyuxuan were happy. Ever since they had eaten the roasted rabbit made with mung beans, they had been full of admiration for mung beans. When they heard that they could have meals made with mung beans in the evening, how could they not be willing? So some people boiled water, some people plucked the hair, and for a while, all the palace people in Ningyuxuan were busy in full swing.

The little Prince Fu and the third prince came over at this time. It turned out that the little Prince Fu thought he had become good friends with the prince. In the past two days, he would call the third prince to come and see the prince. Under his persuasion, the prince now agreed to let the third prince hold him. This made the third prince very excited. Just now, after breakfast, he went to find his brother the little Prince Fu, and the two of them went to see the prince together.

“This…this…” The young Prince Fu pointed at the pig heads and offal that were being washed by three young eunuchs and was so excited that he was incoherent. God knows, he has been to the Huang Mansion several times since his adopted sister came to the palace. There were also braised dishes made by the cook in the mansion, but when he ate them, he always felt that there was something missing in the taste. He didn't expect that when he came here today, his adopted sister gave him such a big surprise.

"Sister, can I eat it at noon today?" Little Prince Fu asked shamelessly. If it can be prepared at noon, he will not leave from now on.

Although Little Fu Wang is about the same age as her eldest brother, Huang Ye always has a feeling that he is a child who has not grown up. He is frivolous, noisy and has no seriousness at all: "How can it be so fast? You can only eat it in the evening. Come over to eat in the evening." This Little Fu Wang has helped her a lot, and Huang Ye is also generous to her.

Although the Third Prince was not interested in the things that were still being cleaned, since Concubine Huang had invited his younger brother, Prince Fu, he was unhappy that such a grown-up Third Prince was standing here but was not invited.

"Cough, cough, cough..." The third prince coughed violently a few times. He didn't believe that Concubine Huang didn't see him, a living being.

"If you don't mind, Your Highness the Third Prince, you can come over with the Prince of Fu in the evening. However, Ningyuxuan is not fully stocked right now. If you want to drink, you can bring your own wine." Huang Ye said to the Third Prince with a smile. The Third Prince was still a half-grown child. He always defended her when she was bullied by the Queen Mother several times. It was just a bite of food, she wouldn't be so stingy.

The Third Prince was dizzy with her laughter and his face suddenly turned red. This Concubine Huang was so... so beautiful: "Thank...thank you...Concubine Huang." He stammered.

"We are all family, so there is no need to bother with thanking each other." Huang Ye, the person who made the Third Prince blush and his heart beat fast, did not feel anything. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "The prince may still be sleeping. If he is not here, he may have gone to see the retired emperor."

Huang Ye now assigned the prince a task, which was to supervise the emperor's eating and walking three times a day. It was now very serious about it. Once, the emperor deliberately teased it. After dinner, he sat there reading a storybook instead of going out for a walk. The eagle jumped up without any hesitation and pecked the storybook in the emperor's hand into pieces. The emperor did not know whether to laugh or cry. People said that someone was using chicken feathers as a token of authority, but in his opinion, this eagle was better.

As expected, Prince Fu did not find it in the prince's nest. He came too early today and it had already gone to the emperor. After reiterating to Huang Ye that they would come over for dinner in the evening, the two of them went to play with the prince together.

The people in Ningyuxuan worked quickly. They had already washed and rinsed everything in the morning. After a quick lunch, they began to braise the mung beans. The pot on the stove was the same size as the one Huang Ye used in the small kitchen in the mansion. When Huang Ye chose such a large pot and sent it to the palace, he thought that the braised food could be stored for two or three days without going bad even in the hottest days of summer. It was not easy to ask someone to buy food in the palace, so he made as much as possible.

Starting from the afternoon, the entire courtyard of Ningyuxuan was filled with the aroma of braised food. Fortunately, the people who lived nearby were far away from their place. Although the emperor lived nearby, there was a small forest between them, and the fragrance could not drift that far. Therefore, only Prince Fu and the third prince, who came early to prepare for dinner, could smell the fragrance.

"Sister, I think it's ready to eat now. Look, the color has changed. I just poked it lightly with chopsticks and the pig skin broke."

The young Prince Fu reported to Huang Ye seriously that he and the Third Prince had just been standing by the pot of braised meat and smelling the odor for a long time. He didn't feel it when he ate it before, but now he felt greedy just by smelling it. However, he couldn't be said to be the only one who was greedy, because the Third Prince was still leaning over the pot to smell the odor, and there were also the palace servants working in Ning Yuxuan, who always wanted to get closer to the small kitchen whether they had something to do or not. Needless to say, they couldn't stand the smell either.

"That braised food needs to be left out for a while before it can absorb the flavor." Huang Ye felt tired. He remembered saying this to his second brother. This little Prince Fu was just like his second brother, an impatient foodie.

"I think it's well-seasoned." Little Prince Fu muttered softly. He didn't dare to argue, fearing that if he said one more word, his adopted sister would not let him eat it.

"It's still early. You can go out and play for a while and then come back to eat." Huang Ye said to him.

"That guy can't be called away." Little Prince Fu pointed to the small kitchen. The Third Prince was still guarding the stove.

Well, Huang Ye was too lazy to care about them. She was busy thinking about things now. She asked Steward Sun to buy so many ingredients because she was thinking that now that she had entered the palace and had a small kitchen, she should give some of the food she made to those who had helped her to express her gratitude. Now that there were two more foodies in the yard, she was afraid that there would not be enough food to share.
