Chapter 382 Kick the Door

After such a long journey, the emperor was hungry. But then he got caught in the rain, and his clothes got wet again. So he planned to take a bath first and then have a meal.

Pang Tongling saw that there were many people in their group, and there was only one shopkeeper and three waiters in the inn, and the staff was seriously insufficient.

If all the things had to be done by those three waiters, it was unknown when the emperor would have hot water to take a bath.

More importantly, everyone had to have a meal.

And if they had to travel early tomorrow morning, they would have to bring water and dry food.

After thinking about it, Pang Tongling could only arrange other imperial guards to help.

He assigned some people to boil hot water on the stove and prepare food, and ordered some imperial guards to take care of their horses.

When away from Beijing, the emperor had to be more careful about his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Eunuch An was worried about the food prepared by others. He saw that the shopkeeper had sent tea and snacks over, and Sun Yuanzheng had tested that there was no poison, and the emperor was drinking tea.

So he took people down and went to the kitchen to prepare meals for the emperor in person.

Such a big inn naturally has a chef, and also two apprentices.

It was rainy and night. There were no guests in the inn. They had already rested, but at this moment, the three of them were called by the shopkeeper and were preparing to cook in the kitchen.

Seeing that Eunuch An came in person, the imperial guards who were helping came over immediately.

Just as he was about to greet Eunuch An, he was stopped by him.

Although they were many, there were only a few people in the inn. But after the assassination of the masked man, Eunuch An was very cautious and did not want outsiders to know their identities.

Seeing what Eunuch An meant, the imperial guards did not shout out his identity.

Although the chef did not know Eunuch An's identity, he knew that he was not simple when he saw others being respectful to him, so he hurriedly came over to greet him with a smile.

Eunuch An waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to be polite.

Then he looked around the kitchen and found that in addition to a pot of meat stewing on the stove, there was only a little coarse noodles and two kinds of wilted vegetables.

Eunuch An frowned as he looked at these things. Not only the emperor, but even the imperial guards looked down on them.

But now everyone is cold and hungry, so it's good to have something to eat, and there's no way to be picky.

It's just that there are so many people in their group, and there's not enough to share with them.

Another thing is that the imperial guards can eat these foods, but the emperor can't eat them too.

After reading it, Eunuch An turned to the chef in charge,

"We have so many people, and these things are far from enough. What food do you have here, take it all out."

Before the chef spoke, Eunuch An took out a silver note and handed it over, "Don't worry about the money. Take this silver note and prepare some food for us as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter whether it's vegetables or rice, flour or grains, the most important thing is to be fast."

Although the emperor is the king of a country, the world belongs to him. But if he goes out of the palace and eats outside, he will still pay for it.

Otherwise, if the officials below follow suit, it will definitely cause public outrage.

The imperial guards present were worried about the lack of food in the kitchen, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that eunuch An had given the order.

Seeing the banknotes, the chef was very happy and said with a simple smile, "Don't worry, I'll prepare it right away."

After receiving the banknotes, he immediately ordered the two apprentices next to him, "Go to the vegetable cellar and bring all the meat and vegetables over. And you, bring the flour and rice over, and don't forget the eggs."

"Yes, Master, I'll go right away." The two apprentices responded cautiously and turned to walk out.

Seeing that the two men seemed to be a little timid, and their bodies were thin and small, they were worried that they couldn't carry much, so the imperial guards followed them and planned to help them.

Perhaps because the vegetable cellar was not far away, it didn't take long for several imperial guards and the two apprentices to move a lot of things over.

Eunuch An checked them one by one and saw that the things he brought were relatively clean. Whether it was meat or vegetables, they were fresher than he imagined, and he was satisfied.

Worried that the emperor might be starving, Eunuch An did not plan to make any complicated dishes, but ordered the chef to make some noodles.

After receiving the silver note, the chef did not show any dissatisfaction. He took a wooden basin and began to scoop noodles, add water, and knead noodles.

Although Eunuch An did not do it himself, he kept a close eye on the chef's actions.

He even ordered two imperial guards to watch the two apprentices wash and cut vegetables.

To ensure that they had no chance to do anything they shouldn't do.

At first, Eunuch An and the two imperial guards were really worried.

Later, seeing that both the chef and the two apprentices were very well behaved, and no matter what they did, they paid attention to cleanliness and hygiene, they were relieved.

But the three of them did not relax their vigilance and kept watching.

There are many people, so there must be more food.

The chef and the two apprentices had to prepare food for the emperor, and they had no time to cook for others.

Eunuch An could only let the imperial guards prepare their meals personally.

None of the imperial guards present were good at cooking, but the food was prepared for them, so it didn't matter if it was delicious and tasty, as long as it was cooked well and didn't upset their stomachs.

The imperial guards also knew that there were not enough people in the kitchen, so if they wanted to eat, they had to do it themselves.

Soon, the kitchen became busy.

Some people washed vegetables and cut meat, some people kneaded noodles and cooked rice, and everyone was busy in an orderly manner.

However, the food was not ready yet, but the hot water on the stove was ready first.

Knowing that the emperor was still waiting for hot water to wash, Eunuch An immediately ordered two imperial guards to carry the hot water to the emperor's room.

As soon as they left, Yin Sha and Wei Feng also came to the kitchen.

Both of them came to ask for hot water.

Yin Sha was preparing a bath for Ning Chuyi, but Wei Feng was helping Ling Chu carry water.

Originally, Ling Chu was going to carry the hot water by herself, but just as she was out of the door, she happened to run into Yin Sha and Wei Feng.

So he offered to help Ling Chu fetch water.

Ling Chu wanted to refuse, but both of them said that since she was already a member of the Jinyiwei, she didn't have to be polite.

Ning Chuyi passed by and happened to hear their conversation. He said to Ling Chu in a calm voice, "They both have a lot of energy, so it's just right for them to carry more hot water. In order to prevent them from being too energetic and unable to sleep at night."

Ning Chuyi spoke, Yin Sha and Wei Feng were not annoyed, but nodded in response.

Ling Chu saw that they were so enthusiastic, and she was tired and hungry, and really didn't have much energy, so she didn't refuse much.

Soon, the imperial guards prepared hot water for the emperor.

Yin Sha and Wei Feng also brought back several buckets of water.

Ling Chu closed the door and soaked in the bathtub, feeling that she was finally alive.

The water was still a little hot, but it was just right for Ling Chu, who was cold all over.

She planned to soak for a longer time to warm herself up.

But maybe she was too tired, Ling Chu began to feel drowsy while soaking.

Soon, she sat in the bathtub and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but the system suddenly sounded an alarm.

Ling Chu opened his eyes in a daze, saw the situation in the system, and subconsciously blurted out, "Don’t..."

Before he finished speaking, the locked door was kicked open.

Looking at Ning Chuyi who suddenly rushed in, Ling Chu suddenly widened his eyes.

Everyone is on vacation, right? Are they all on vacation for three days?

I’m so envious.

I also want to take a vacation, but unfortunately I can’t.

I can only pitifully ask for some votes as comfort...
