Chapter 154 Liangpi (1)
There were still not many people in the public kitchen for lunch, and everyone who stayed in Dali Temple to eat with slumped faces tasted nothing.
This Master Sun is so embarrassed! Previously, when I worked with Master Wang, everyone was just a craftsman who could only learn from the outside and didn't want to make progress. Now I'm with Master Wen, and it's really fun to see Master Wen cooking in different ways every day. He's good, but the food he cooks is still so unpalatable!
Not only did he not want to make progress, Master Sun, who was guarding the table, seemed not to even pay attention to the food in front of him. He was absent-minded when ordering the dishes and even ordered the wrong dishes.
Looking at the wilted vegetables covered with three spoonfuls of fried vegetables in the bowl, the expression of the servant who came to receive the meal was not much better than those of the vegetables. He raised his head to look at Master Sun, who was looking blankly, and immediately turned his face away: "Sun, what are you doing? If you don't want to stay in the public kitchen, leave. Don't stay here to occupy a seat and do nothing!"
The sudden loud voice startled the absent-minded Master Sun. When he came to his senses, he was startled when he faced the evil-looking officer in front of him. However, he was not as scared as before, but somehow He suddenly spoke directly to the officer in front of him: "If you like it, you can eat it. If you don't like it, you can go out and buy it with money! If you have that ability, you should ask the Internal Affairs Yamen to fire me, Mr. Sun Ding!"
One sentence immediately made the officer furious. He threw a plate of green vegetables and covered Sun Dingren's head.
When Ji Caimai, who was lying in the room and taking a nap, heard the news, the public kitchen was already in a mess. From the food and bowls on the floor, we could get a glimpse of the "war" scene just now.
With a dark face, Ji Caimai pointed at the mess on the ground and said to Wen Mingtang, A Bing and Tangyuan who came after hearing the news: "Look, look! What is this Sun Ding man doing in our Dali Temple? Chengrili Just thinking about causing trouble!"
Wen Mingtang and others fell silent. Before the three of them could speak, they heard a burst of noise coming from outside the courtyard. They looked back and saw several guards with evil expressions pushing and shoving Master Sun into the courtyard. One of them raised a stack of medicine bags in his hand and said loudly to Wen Mingtang and Ji Caimai: "When we were arguing just now, the man named Sun ran into his yard. Only when we chased him in did we find the man named Sun on the stage of his house. There’s actually a pack of crotons! What’s a public chef doing by buying so many crotons? Who is he trying to harm?”
Another officer sneered, looked at Master Sun, and hummed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see Master Wen's good cooking skills, so I'm going to secretly add beans to Master Wen's dishes!"
When Ji Caimai heard this, his face darkened: "Okay! Is it because of the takeout thing? Master Wen is planning to harm others again?"
When Master Sun heard this, his face turned pale. He just faced Shang Ji Caimai, but still straightened his back and said, "Where's the evidence? Didn't I buy the medicine for the rats?"
Which medicine uses croton for rats? What is this going to do? Are you planning to let the mouse collapse and catch it?
No matter how quibly he opened his mouth, Master Sun could not stop so many open-mouthed accusations. After a quarrel, he "asked for sick leave", and before "asking for leave", he did not forget to take away the large bag of croton.
"What a troublemaker!" Watching Master Sun leave, Ji Caimai turned to Wen Mingtang and said, "Sun Dingren is on leave for the past few days, so I'll let you take over this lunch!" As he said that, he glanced at Wen Mingtang. Ah Bing and Tang Yuan, who were on the side, said again, "You two should also study hard! Of course, if there is a good cook, I will look to recruit him."
It is indeed not enough for a Dali Temple public chef to only have Master Wen on the table! Fortunately, Ah Bing and Tangyuan are still smart, otherwise, things would really get messed up.
"I'm going to keep you busy!" Ji Caimai said to Wen Mingtang, "I'll leave all the handymen in the public kitchen to you now! You don't have to do such chores as taking out meals and cleaning up. You can concentrate on preparations." Just three meals and you’ll be fine.”
Wen Mingtang nodded and said "Okay", glanced at the direction Master Sun left, thought for a while, but was a little confused: "How did he think of buying crotons? If there is something wrong with eating here, I think we in Dali It’s not like we can’t find out who the ‘mastermind’ is!”
"Who knows!" Ji Caimai looked at the direction Master Sun was leaving and snorted, then turned to Wen Mingtang and said, "It has nothing to do with you, Master Wen, just cook well! By the way, Master Wen, What are you doing today?"
Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said: "It's hot and I don't have any appetite, so let's make some cold skin!"
Liangpi! Ji Caimai said "Oh" with a bit more expectation in his tone: "There are new dishes to eat. I will come here early for dinner!" After that, he went back to the house to catch up on his sleep.
There was a commotion in Dali Temple, but Liu Yuan and others who were running around did not rest. They ate in a restaurant and then continued to go to the hotel to deal with the Goguryeo envoys.
Lin Fei, on the other hand, went directly to the palace to see the Holy Emperor.
As soon as he heard that Lin Feidao was here for the "Elixir of Immortality", the Holy Emperor stepped back.
After everyone in the palace retreated, the Holy Emperor, who was sitting behind the case and reviewing the memorial, put down the pen in his hand, looked at Lin Fei, and said, "Afei, you should know about this elixir," he said, and put it in the case. A few pens were moved in the pen holder on the table. After a sound of the machine opening and closing, a square-sized secret grid appeared on the table where the Holy Spirit was reviewing memorials. The Holy Spirit stretched his hand into the hidden grid. After a while, it was like fishing. Like playing Cuju, he fished out a fist-sized purple elixir and said, "The elixir is in my hand!"
The tribute that was brought to the "entry" was just held in the hand. Obviously, the Holy Master had no intention of "entering" the elixir.
But, this is where it gets interesting! This is the lost "elixir" that the Goguryeo envoys have been looking for for a long time, but it was actually taken away by someone sent by the Holy One?
There was no sign of surprise on Lin Fei's face, he just leaned over and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
The Holy Spirit took away not only this elixir, but also the "immortal master" who asked for immortality a few years ago.
The late emperor was mediocre, but after all, he was his father, who was still the prince at that time. Naturally, he did not dare to take any action in the Holy Crown. He only dared to deal with this "immortal master" in private, but his origin was actually a mystery.
"The envoy of Goguryeo is still investigating," Lin Fei said, "I came to the palace today to pay homage to Princess An."
"Chao'an?" The Holy Emperor frowned. He was obviously impressed by this half-sister, but his relationship with her was average and not close.
"What's wrong with her?" the saint asked.
Lin Fei told the story about Prince Yu, and then said: "Princess Chao'an's consort hinted that we are waiting for someone to confuse the royal bloodline!"
Hearing this, the Holy Spirit's expression immediately condensed: "This matter needs to be investigated!"
Although he is not close to this imperial sister and treats her like a wealthy idler, this does not mean that the Holy Emperor does not care about this princess. Or, it can be said that what the Holy Emperor cares about is not Princess Chao'an, but the Concubine Li who raised Princess Chao'an.
Princess Chao'an's biological mother was a talented person. She died in childbirth when she was giving birth to Princess Chao'an, so she was raised by Concubine Li. They were not mother and daughter, but they were better than mother and daughter.
Although the Concubine Li died of illness a few years ago, she was always favored in the late emperor's harem. To be favored by the late emperor, she must be beautiful. But apart from her beauty, the reason why Empress Li Fei continues to be favored is that before entering the palace, Li Fei was also a "female fairy master" who "practiced".
