219. Xu Nei Shi
The emperor naturally has to give his face. After all, this is at the foot of the emperor. If Luo Yong and Aunt Luo still want to develop in this Chang'an City, what are the benefits of offending the emperor? It's just a cake. How troublesome can it be to make one alone?
So after Eunuch Xu revealed his identity, Luo Yong told him that it would take some time to make the cake. It would be too late today. Start preparing from now on, at least you have to wait until the morning of the next day to prepare.
"I'll bother the assistant teacher!" Eunuch Xu also felt relieved when he heard this.
Assistant Luo has always been known as a coffin board. He came late today and couldn't buy a cake. If he didn't say this again, it would be difficult to explain after he went back.
"A little thing, what's the point." Luo Yong smiled and said, "Although this cake is not as good as the delicacies, it is quite popular among the ladies. I think the nobles in the palace should be good. But the palace city is not too close to this Guangdefang. If you have to come out to buy it every time, it is really inconvenient. It would be better if I make cake tomorrow night, Eunuch Xu will come and take a look. It's not very difficult. If you learn it, you can make cakes in the palace in the future."
When Eunuch Xu heard this, he was overjoyed. Eunuchs like them were not only physically incomplete, but also as slaves in the palace, but also had no guarantee at all.
The Tian family was also afraid that eunuchs would usurp power, so they were not allowed to recognize their words since childhood. Once a mistake was made, they would be beaten at the least, and they would die at the worst. In the eyes of the world, eunuchs' fate was always very despicable. If the palace maids were lucky, they could survive until the day they left the palace to get married, but the eunuchs would have to serve the Tian family within the palace wall until they were old.
I was too old to use it, so I went out of the palace and went to find my life. There was no place outside the palace to go to some temples, but I could not wait until the end of my life.
The Buddha said that all beings are equal and equality is good, but these temples are not for free. Many eunuchs made plans for their old age. They started donating incense money to these temples when they were young, and even raised funds to renovate temples just to have a place to go when they were old.
"Thank you for your kindness in the teaching assistant. I have to report to the saint first." Eunuch Xu bowed to Luo Yong. Even if he wanted to learn, he could not make any decisions about this matter. It depends on the emperor's intention.
"Serious." Luo Yong also bowed to him and said, "If the saint responds, you will come to Guangdefang tomorrow night, and I will make cakes here. If the saint does not respond, you will come here early in the next morning. Don't be too late. I have to go to Taixue to some Mao."
"Sanlang can be assured as he can, and he will definitely not miss you the hour of the slogan." Xu Eunuch promised.
After all, it was food to be presented to the saints. Eunuch Xu or Luo Yong dared not be careless. This thing was best made by Luo Yong at that time and handed it to Eunuch Xu personally, so that he could present it to the emperor. It was not easy to pass through the hands of others. If something went wrong at that time, they would not be able to bear it. If it was a bit serious, there would be a poisoning incident or something, and they would not have enough of ten heads.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Yong proposed to teach Xu the skill of making cakes, and then asked them to cook and eat by themselves, so naturally Luo Yong had nothing to do.
Luo Yong had a good impression of Eunuch Xu, at least he didn't feel any disgusting. Although it was not until the 21st century that many people had a deep prejudice against the group of eunuchs, believing that they were just a group of abnormal physical and psychological abnormal behaviors, but the people who produced this kind of behavior and enjoyed their service often admired and yearned for it, and beautified to the extreme.
Luo Yong knew that not everyone with physical defects must be mentally defective. Not everyone who had encountered misfortunes at a young age will become a vicious anti-social when they grow up, at least he did not grow up to be anti-social.
Besides, every group has scumbags. You cannot deny their entire group just because of the existence of that part of the scum. Sometimes the reason why a group is easily discredited is not necessarily because they are black, but because they are weak and have no ability to speak for themselves. The eunuch group has been stepped into the mud since the moment they were born.
On this side, when Eunuch Xu returned to the palace, the emperor was chatting with a minister, and the monarch and ministers were laughing and laughing. Eunuch Xu did not speak out, but stood by and waited with his hands down.
After the minister left, Eunuch Xu went up to report to the emperor about his visit to Guangdefang to buy cakes this morning, and apologized to the emperor for not buying cakes in time.
"It's okay, since Luo Sanlang said that, then you go to Guangdefang tomorrow night to learn how to make cakes with him." The emperor was actually a little curious. How did the cakes that the young ladies in Chang'an City have been thinking about recently made.
"Now." Eunuch Xu bowed and responded.
The emperor looked up at the eunuch in front of him who lowered his head and lowered his hands, and looked respectful, and asked him, "Eunuch Xu thought Luo Sanlang what he thought?"
"I don't know." The eunuch Xu's attitude became more and more respectful. He was actually an eunuch of grade and could also be sanctioned to the emperor. However, their rank, in the eyes of some ministers in the court, was just a joke. Except for the eunuchs in the palace, who would take the eunuchs seriously?
"Forget it, you go down." The emperor waved his hand and said.
"Now." Eunuch Xu lowered his head and said, "Now," and then left the room.
In fact, Eunuch Xu had a good impression of Luo Yong, because he could not feel any contempt in the other party, which was very rare. Even some famous scholars who claim to be broad-minded often find it difficult to treat them like eunuchs as ordinary people.
But he would not be so stupid as to say these words to the emperor. For a person who can easily make the eunuch around him feel good, the emperor not only will he not appreciate it, but also will be afraid. As an eunuch, having ideas and opinions is never a virtue they should have.
In the evening of the eleventh year of Zhenguan, on December 11th, Eunuch Xu from the palace followed him and rushed to the Ma family guesthouse before the curfew. In a guest room in this guesthouse, he saw with his own eyes the entire process of Luo Sanlang making cakes.
"...This is cream. After letting the milk stand for a day and a half, the milk and oil will be slightly layered. So I scooped the oil on it to use. Adding the syrup in it can be beaten. The grapefruit juice is added to remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness, and it tastes more refreshing. If there are other fruits and vegetables in the palace, you can also make some different attempts..."
Luo taught while doing it, and everything was very detailed and said it very thoroughly.
A few oil lamps were lit in the room, which made the room very bright. Even the lines of the butterfly flipped in the mixing bucket were clearly visible, and Luo Yong's expression was very serious and focused.
"You can take a look this time. You can try to do it yourself after you go back. If you can't do it, come back on the night of the 14th. Although I'm going to go to court on the fifteenth, the breakfast banquet here will still be run as usual. Many students and the women in Chang'an City will come to eat..."
"How did Sanlang think of using this method to prepare food?" As Eunuch Xu looked at it, his questions were naturally asked.
"It's just a coincidence." Luo Yong smiled. It's just a coincidence that traveled through time, carrying memories from more than a thousand years later, and living in this era as a teenager.
"So that's the case." Eunuch Xu smiled, but did not continue to delve into it.
Isn't it just a coincidence? Luo Sanlang came up with such a way to make milk by chance. By chance, he was sent by the saint to buy cakes. But he didn't buy the cakes, but Luo Sanlang promised to teach him the skills of making cakes.
Eunuch Xu stood aside and looked at Luo Yong as a cake. He always looked humble and cowardly on his face. At this time, he also smiled, and under the light, it seemed to be shining with some light glow.
He remembered his past complaints about fate, and his resentment and resentment in his heart. At this moment, he felt that those unwillingness was completely unreasonable. God had treated him well enough. In his humble and ordinary life, one day he could see such incredible things with his own eyes. Someone could use ordinary things such as milk and eggs to make such exquisite food. He not only saw it with his own eyes, but also fortunately could learn such a skill.
This kind of blessing must be too great, so the days in the past were so difficult, just to accumulate the thin blessings in his life and use them out again at this time.
The rich and fresh creamy smell floated in the room. Luo Sanlang held the tool in his hand and was dotted with colorful flowers on the snow-white cake as big as his arms. He watched the beautiful flowers bloom one by one with his own eyes. He seemed to have those flowers in his heart, blooming one by one on the originally deserted and barren land...
He thought of those long and endless years, the deep wells in the palace, the thick, round and high beams, the silent eagle people, and the young self looking down at the well and looking up at the beams countless times. He originally thought that his life was a torment of endless.
