Chapter 358

The Mid Autumn Festival banquet and moon cake are redone, which seems to be heavy work.

In fact, it's not that difficult.

Xia Yi is only responsible for the food at the main table of the banquet, and she only needs to make the menu for the rest of the kitchen.

In addition, there are many kitchen assistants in the imperial dining room. Xiayi doesn't need to use a knife to cut vegetables at all. She just needs to grasp the taste of the dishes.

Among them, steamed products and stewed products save effort.

The moon cake is also simple. The kitchen assistants in the imperial dining room prepare everything. Xiayi only needs to prepare the stuffing. As for the later shaping, the kitchen assistants help to complete it.

But Rao is like this. All this is not a simple job, especially in the deployment of personnel.

But this is not difficult for Xia Yi.

She used to run a restaurant. The business of Ruyi restaurant is booming. She often meets a group of people waiting for dinner, and then the kitchen is short of manpower.

In order to ensure the speed of serving, it is necessary to make reasonable deployment of personnel.

Under the command of Xia Yi, the work of the whole imperial dining room is in good order.

We can't help but look at Xia Yi with new eyes.

A cook can cook delicious food, but he also has the ability to manage so many people.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that the person who did it was just a 17-year-old girl.

What's even more unexpected is that Xia Yi doesn't hide anything when cooking.

Even when making moon cake stuffing, it is also done in front of everyone.

There is a chef asked what, but also very patient answers.

Slowly, some imperial chefs even began to exchange their cooking experience with Xia Yi.

Many of Xiayi's cooking methods are novel and interesting. They learn a lot from Xiayi.

Of course, Xia Yi didn't come in vain. These imperial chefs have their own strong points, and Xia Yi has learned a lot from them.

Those who were not convinced of Xia Yi's hosting the Mid Autumn Festival banquet are now convinced.

After all the dishes of the Mid Autumn Festival banquet were served, everyone was relieved.

According to manager Niu, the masters are very satisfied with the Mid Autumn Festival banquet. Everyone who attends the Mid Autumn Festival banquet will get rich rewards.

Everyone cheered, and the effort was not in vain.

In the cheers, a man said: "it's thanks to Miss Xia Yi for such a good result."

Everyone agrees.

"Yes, thanks to Miss Xia Yi."

At this time, someone suggested, "we don't have much to offer, or, let's prepare a good table to thank Miss Xia Yi and celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival?"

This proposal is also echoed.

It's getting late. It's getting dark. I don't know what time it will be if I cook again.

Later, I'm afraid it will be a problem.

Xia Yi is about to refuse when Dou Gonggong comes in from the outside.

"Oh, what are you talking about

Niu Zongguan: "is Mr. Dou here? Everyone is happy, thinking that cooking a meal is a celebration. "

"It's time to celebrate. The emperor is very satisfied with the Mid Autumn Festival banquet."

It's not the same to say this directly from Duke Dou.

As we all know, Duke Dou always helps the emperor to deliver messages.

"Would Duke Dou like to stay and eat some?" Asked the manager.

Dou Gong is just: "I still have a task, so I won't participate."

"I don't know why Mr. Dou came here?" The manager asked carefully.

Duke Dou seldom comes to the imperial dining room. Since he is carrying a mission, manager Niu's guess is what the emperor wants to eat.

But don't want to Dou Gonggong finally just way: "time is not early, I come to send Xia Yi girl back."

"This..." manager Niu looked at Xia Yi with some embarrassment, "we still want to leave Xia Yi to celebrate with us..."

"It doesn't matter. There are plenty of opportunities in the future. The palace will be closed later." Dou Gonggong said directly.

The manager said nothing more.

As soon as he went out, Xia Yi would thank Duke Dou: "just now, thank you for helping me out."

"Don't be polite to me. It's the master's order to send Miss Xia Yi back safely. Besides, I ate the moon cake made by Miss Xia Yi, didn't I? "

When it comes to moon cakes, Xia Yi remembers to ask her doubts about where the emperor's moon cakes came from.

"Father in law, did you give the emperor's moon cakes?"

Dou Gonggong said with a smile: "it's a coincidence. I sent some to the emperor, and the rest was sent by another person."

"Who?" Xia Yi asks curiously.

"King Mu."

Hear is Xiao Linmu's time, summer Yi is directly stunned.

She guessed all the possibilities, only to Miss Xiao Linmu.

They tried their best to hide the relationship between them in front of the emperor, for fear that it would be exposed completely.

Xia Yi took a deep breath and asked, "what did the emperor ask?"

Dou Gonggong shook his head, "only asked where the moon cake came from, and the others didn't say anything more."

“……”

Xia Yi is not afraid of this, encounter such things is still in the bottom of my heart.

Xiao Linmu and Xiao Linjin had been fighting openly and secretly. If they exposed their relationship in front of the emperor in advance, it would not be worth the loss.

She doesn't think it's time

But what Xia Yi doesn't know is that the matter that Duke Dou gave the moon cake to the emperor was actually instructed by Xiao Linmu himself.

The moon cake was also given by Xiao Linmu on purpose.

Xiao Linmu is to test the emperor's attitude.

Last time, the emperor specially asked him to send Xia Yi out of the palace. Later, he praised Xia Yi's cooking skills in front of him.

Xiao Linmu thinks that all this is not a coincidence. He always thinks that the emperor should know something.

And looking at the attitude and all kinds of behavior, seems to like Xia Yi?

In order to verify his guess, Xiao Linmu decided to have a try.

He didn't discuss what he did with Xia Yi in advance, because he knew that Xia Yi would oppose it.

And for all this without knowing Xia Yi is still worried about him.

Seeing that Xia Yi seemed restless, Duke Dou changed the topic, "Miss Xia Yi, do you want to go around in the palace? I know a place that is especially suitable for watching the moon. "

"No, thank you for your kindness." Xia Yidao.

In this era, there are no tall buildings. As long as you look up, you can see the moon hanging in the sky without any shelter. Whether it's in the palace or at home, you can see the same moon.

"I'll see you out of the palace now?" Mr. Dou asked.

Xia Yi nodded, "please bother Mr. Dou."

It's dark, the gate of the capital is closed, and Xia Yi can't get Xia Yang and Xia Yue back.

She never thought that this mid autumn festival should be spent by herself.

Xia Yi helplessly shakes her head and goes to the kitchen to prepare some food for herself.

In the end is the Mid Autumn Festival, even if it is cold, also want to have a good.

After a busy time, Xia Yi prepared a good dinner for herself. Not only that, she also specially took out the peach blossom wine she had brewed before.

She took all this to the table in the yard, and planned to eat in the moonlight.

The moon is big and round, even the lanterns are not very used, can shine on the whole yard very bright.

Xia Yi just went back to the room to get the wine, and then went out, only to find that there was one more person at the table.

Xiao Linmu didn't know when he was coming
