Gao Lishi stopped riding a horse, pulling Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan back with one hand.
Zhang Zhong and others followed into the city and went to different places. The people in the capital had already arranged a place. Xishi Zhuangyuan Building and Dongshi Deyiju this year's New Year, the back of the courtyard will no longer enter the city.
"Have you seen? I saw him when he first entered the first year. At that time, he came by boat. He was already quite pompous. I never thought. After a few years, he became more powerful. You need to be proud, that year's new champion was him."
Someone in the crowd recognized Zhang Zhong and hid to show off with others.
"I know, I know, what is the name of the two most powerful restaurants in the capital? Yes, it is called leading the trend. The big waves shoot the Liudi, only standing at the top of the tide, and they are talking about two restaurants."
The other responded enviously.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were led all the way to the front, with countless envious gazes on both sides, and the two ignored them. The big scenes have seen a lot, and they don't care once again become the focus of attention.
As he was walking forward, two people hurried over in front of him, both of whom were wearing official uniforms. One's clothes were stained with a lot of mud and snow and looked very embarrassed, while the other was supporting him.
Zhang Xiaobao was stunned when he saw the two people, then smiled and said hello, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Zhang, are you two of you to check the removal of snow?"
"Little Treasure? Cuckoo? Oh, it's bigger and taller, what's the test of snow? I fell, accidentally fell, and missed to meet Yongcheng brother, forgive me for your sins."
Joining him was Chengling Xianghe County Cheng Zhang Mingsheng, the magistrate of Sanshui County. The director Zhao Xiang had already arrived, and he greeted Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan with joy.
Zhang Xiaobao also felt very cordial, and returned a big smile, "Uncle Cheng came not too late, with the fragrance of earth on his body. My father is behind. I and the cuckoo will enter the palace with Uncle Gao first, and we will give it to Uncle Zhang when we come back. Uncle Cheng makes a toast."
"General Gao." The two saw Gao Lishi, and they only paid attention to Xiaobao and the cuckoo.
Gao Lishi waved his hand to stop the two from saluting, boasting: "Yes, the people from Sanshui County are good. Go, you two should change positions this year."
Having said that, Gao Lishi grabbed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and continued to move forward, leaving Zhang and Cheng with joyful faces. Is this being promoted? The people of Zhang Wang's family are indeed nobles.
It is not the first time that Zhang Xiaobao and the two have come to the capital, but the palace has never been in. They don't know what the palace is like at this time, and they follow expectantly.
As they walked, Gao Lishi pulled the two into a shop next to him, crossed the shop, and got on the car at the back before moving on.
"Uncle Gao, do you want to enter the palace quietly and not be loud?" Wang Juan asked in a low voice while sitting in the car, touching the curtain blocking the window.
Gao Lishi chuckled, "Listening to the cuckoo's words is like an espionage person. If you don't enter the palace, you are afraid that there will be too many greetings on the road. It will be troublesome. Go to the Furong Garden and your Majesty will wait there."
"Oh... Don't go to the palace." Wang Juan was a little disappointed, and Zhang Xiaobao was also discouraged.
Seeing the reaction of the two little babies, Gao Lishi couldn't laugh or cry. Others were very happy and nervous when they saw the emperor once. The two babies were good, but they were only excited about entering the palace and ignored those who really need attention. .
Reaching out his hand to touch the heads of the two people, Gao Lishi comforted: "It's easy to go to the palace. I will take you there if I want to go. The emperor is not a person who can see anyone. First go to see the emperor. Don't be afraid. The emperor doesn't kill people easily. "
"Well, then go and see you first, you are not afraid of killing, as long as you don't let me kill, I'm tired of killing." Wang Juanxin said that it's okay to see Xiao Li, he is always a big man.
"Yes, I'm not afraid. Cuckoo is a general who can win more with less, Xiaobao, really want to go to the local government to be an official? Your Majesty said, I will arrange for you a position of a county leader and a master book, and the county magistrate is looking for a proud person. Those who are incapable, be careful."
Gao Lishi suddenly reacted. The little girl sitting in front of her was not an ordinary person. She was confused by her cute appearance. This is also a killer. It is said that the harder you kill, the sweeter the smile. Well, not afraid, indeed not afraid.
Zhang Xiaobao sat next to him, thinking about what Li Longji would do with the two of him. He couldn't just meet him. He sighed helplessly when he asked Gao Lishi.
"Uncle Gao, how can the emperor do this? If you don't want to throw an incompetent person by our side, this is killing someone with a knife. Have you chosen a good county?"
"If you borrow the knife to kill, it is an opportunity for you to exercise. Don't look at it as the county magistrate. You should not be lenient when it comes to cleaning up. It's best to change him so that you can do more for the people in the future. After you choose, there is no too poor county. , A county less than three hundred miles away from Luoyang, praises it, it is a middle county, and it is not a critical place, nor is it Gyeonggi. It’s fun, if someone has the right to press people and find things, write to your uncle."
Gao Lishi said lovingly, he wanted to remove the title of uncle now, but he hadn't paid a big gift, so he could only call it like this first.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded. It is estimated that this godfather and Xiaoli are afraid that being too smooth with the cuckoo will not be good for future development, isn't it just to clean up themselves? Simple, otherwise life will be too monotonous.
Seeing that Xiaobao had no objection, Gao Lishi smiled happily. He suddenly remembered something and asked: "Xiaobao, do you have any tricks for managing the logistics organization? Uncle has been busy in recent days."
"Oh, yes, this is actually a subject of overall management. It can also be said to be organization. It is simple to say, and difficult to say. I will sort it out and show it to Uncle Gao. In fact, people in the inner courtyard of my family I have learned that there are many fixed patterns that can be used for reference.
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't keep this knowledge secret. I'm not afraid that others will be able to lose the stage. There are many people who have learned this kind of knowledge before, but how many can compete with him
"But it cannot be taught to foreigners. All the good things are left behind." Zhang Xiaobao added.
"Sure enough, Xiaobao is at ease and keeps all his good knowledge. At the beginning, he made a mistake according to what your family said. He was running a school in a coastal area, earning money from other countries, and enlightening them. Wait until they have learned the way of the ruler and minister. Others, I have made a lot of money, and the emperor is very happy whenever he mentions it."
Gao Lishi got the definite answer from Xiaobao, and finally he was relieved that he would be able to do things more easily in the future. At the same time, he took a high look at the people of Zhang Wang's family. He was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and his good skills were always taken out. , But again and again asked not to let other countries learn.
To be honest, it is a matter of giving and gaining, the imperial court suffered a loss to the two families.
The car didn't move slowly, and it arrived at the Furong Garden within an hour of swinging around.
Gao Lishi got out of the car first, without the help of others, he had to hug Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan out of the car by himself, grabbed the hands of both of them, and walked towards one place.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at their outfits to see if they were properly dressed. The proper etiquette is still necessary. After all, Xiao Li is the emperor. Even if Juan Juan had seen the chairman and the prime minister before as a child, he shouldn’t be rude.
Turning around, the two people sniffed at the same time and smelled a scent of oily smoke.
After turning two more turns, Zhang Xiaobao finally couldn't help but ask when he appeared in front of the house of Yipai: "Uncle Gao, where are we going?"
"Good place, the kitchen behind the Furong Garden Palace." Gao Lishi replied.
"What are you going to do in the kitchen? Aren't you hungry yet." Zhang Xiaobao realized that something was a bit bad.
"It's not because of the hump-burning you sent last time. Bi Gou and Yao Chong often write to praise you for their good cooking, eat intimately, make a few dishes first, and then go to Qujiang to eat and drink. "
Gao Lishi's face blushed slightly, and he found the two little guys and asked them to cook. It was really bullying, but who made your Majesty worry about it.
Zhang Xiaobao's lips moved towards Wang Juan, "I've taken it all. Isn't it true that I don't need to go to the place and become a royal cook in the palace?"
"Opportunities, opportunities, opportunities for restaurants to promote, remember to have a title, whatever the first floor in the world, the best dishes in the world, it will do."
Wang Juan replied.
Zhang Xiaobao accepted his fate, considering that he still had to drink, he planned to make two to light, two salty ones, not greasy, and if they were not enough to eat, he would barbecue on the edge of the Qujiang River. Practice this.
Wang Juan asked Gao Lishi: "Uncle Gao, when I go to Qujiang for food and drink, do I still want to see Qushui flow? Is it freezing?"
"It's knotted, and it's broken open again, and a large area is enclosed to prevent it from freezing again, like a water cloud. The kitchen has a lot of ingredients, but you can do it."
While Gao Lishi was talking, he took the two into the kitchen. At this time, there were many cooks waiting in it, preparing to cook for the emperor. They never waited for instructions. Unexpectedly, General Gao brought the two children in, and they all greeted each other. .
He scowled, nodded slightly, Gao Lishi lowered his head and smiled and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Choose, if you don't have one, ask someone to take it."
Zhang Xiaobao looked around. It was really good. There were a lot of tools and the cleaning was clean. There were no mice digging around, no cockroaches crawling around, and no spider webs and gray hangings could be seen in the corners. How could it be so clean
Then step forward to look at the seasoning. It’s really complete, even the chicken essence that my family just made in Yizhou, not to mention the MSG from the boiled kelp and sea intestines, which is basically the same as in my own kitchen. There is one thing missing, a trace of pufferfish toxin, which is usually used when eating hot pot, I guess I dare not, because I am afraid that it will poison people to death.
"Get a cold melon." Zhang Xiaobao ran to the place where the ingredients were put, and was taken aback again. How many people did it have to eat? The variety was complete, but no winter melon was found, so I ordered someone to bring it.
The cooks looked at Zhang Xiaobao like fools, but no one moved.
When Gao Lishi saw that his son asked for a cold melon, no one took it. Doesn't it work for him to speak? I'm not the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? "Hangua."
"General Gao, take a look at the current season. Where are the cold melons?" The eunuch next to him who should be the "chief chef" said to help the cooks. The voice was small, afraid that Gao Lishi would wave his hand and let him be taken away. Drag out the stick and beat him to death.
"Why not? No wonder your Majesty has always been uncomfortable eating recently. It turns out that the ingredients have not been prepared. He ordered people to pick one from the champion building, pick the larger one, and send two to the champion building the day before yesterday. Didn't you?"
Gao Lishi did not continue to pursue it, otherwise ten whips would fall on the eunuch. Today, the son and daughter-in-law are here, so be kind.
As for the emperor’s poor food, he knew what was going on. Hearing that Xiaobao and Juanjuan came back, thinking about what they ate last time, and seeing any food is not good, but winter melons are really there, and the champion building is really good. Sent here.
"By the way, bring some Cistanche, some marinated, and dog meat. Forget it, this one won't serve the noodles, the deer pith and carrots are ready."
Zhang Xiaobao added, the eunuch in charge of the kitchen glanced at Zhang Xiaobao and then at Gao Lishi.
"Hurry up? What Xiaobao said today is what I said." Gao Lishi suddenly found out why this subordinate today is so ignorant
The eunuch ran out to arrange for someone to fetch things back quickly. After finishing it, he came to think about who Xiaobao is? Xiaobao? Little boy, there is a little girl next to him, two little boys, one is called Xiaobao, and the other is called Cuckoo
I am Di Niang, no wonder Master Gao brought it here to see the emperor. Last time I heard that the burning hump was made by the two to give Master Gao and the emperor a taste. It turns out that I was okay when I met the God of Killer just now. Not dead, I heard that people who saw her smile were about to bleed to death. She didn't smile at me just now
When he came back again, the eunuch in the kitchen shuddered. He wanted to see Wang Juan but didn't dare to look. His face changed. Others thought he had been trained just now.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care about the others, and asked someone to bring tofu and shallots, mix in a few seasonings, stir fry the tempeh sauce and pour it over, and then mix a shallot with tofu.
Then I'm going to make a shrimp-fried chives, wait for the other two things, remove the watermelon flesh, knock off the skin, knead it, make a cold melon skin, add the cistanche, a total of four, simple.
Wang Juan also let someone spread out a few pancakes, and asked Xiaobao to adjust the sauce again, peel a few green onions, and roll them up later.
The cooks in the kitchen watched as Mr. Gao brought two children and asked them to bring four dishes to the emperor and sent them to the emperor. They looked at each other and said that they were lying to the emperor, eating melon peels for the emperor, and that’s normal. Will the emperor make trouble for the small green onions mixed with tofu eaten by people with no money
"On the escort, I don't know where the high master got the liar? He even made something like that for the emperor, in case..." a cook asked the eunuch worriedly.
"Shhh! Be quiet, don't let them hear, who just saw that girl smile? I said, hurry back and prepare for the funeral, otherwise it's too late."
With a look of fear on the eunuch's face, he also glanced at the direction where the three of them had left.
…
Gao Lishi and others did not know what was happening in the back of the kitchen, so they walked all the way to the edge of the Qujiang River.
Li Longji had waited for a long time to find a storyteller to talk about Yizhou's affairs. Although he said very exaggerated, he would love to listen.
It was said that Gao Lishi brought the little Bao Juan to come over immediately and asked to warm the wine. This wine was still a low-alcohol tonic wine from the hospital, and it was flavored with two sour plums. I don't know what he thought.
The storyteller was talking about the cuckoo led the soldiers to burn the food, and Qingqi was speeding across the border. This time, the three of Gao Lishi came over, and all the bits and pieces of Xiaobao and cuckoo were handed over, fire guns, sleeve arrows, and poisonous needles. , Knife at the sole of the boot, a necklace with poison, a belt with a spring thorn, a dagger tied on the calf, and a bracelet with a length of thin steel wire can be pulled out.
You don't need to mention these things, so I took them out. I saw the person in charge of the collection and Gao Lishi who were speechless.
"Save it, and when you look back, Little Treasure and the cuckoo will still be installed on your body." Gao Lishi instructed the person responsible for collecting the weapons.
The man nodded, if it weren't for Gao Lishi by the side, he really wanted to open the mouths of the two boys.
After passing by this person, Gao Lishi asked, "Little Treasure, Cuckoo, you two carry so many...what are you doing?"
"For self-defense, I and Juanjuan are small and easy to be targets for others to threaten my family. If anyone hits our idea, Juanjuan and I will make him regret it, oh, tell that person, don't touch it randomly, some things will be brought with you. Poison, see the kind with blood in the throat."
Zhang Xiaobao told the truth.
Gao Lishi touched the heads of two people again, "It's really not easy, it's hard for you two little guys. In the future, Uncle Gao will match you with a few masters to save you from being harmed. Don't worry, no one will change your things. It’s really moving and being poisoned to death, it deserves it, if it can be saved, it won’t be saved."
When the three saw Li Longji, Li Longji was throwing sour plums into the wine. Zhang Xiaobao was stunned and looked at the sky again. What do you mean? Green plum cooking on a hero? It is estimated that there will be no thunder.
Li Longji, who had thrown sour plums into the wine, raised his head and saw the three of them approaching. They stood up and walked two steps to greet him. Without speaking, he stood in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and stared at the two of them.
"The minister has seen your Majesty." Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan bowed and saluted Li Longji.
"Okay, okay, come here, just wait for your two distinguished guests to arrive. It’s really good, it’s a good picture. I heard that you are going back to Beijing soon. I am happy. When you were fighting outside, I couldn’t sleep well. It’s not delicious to eat, so I’m afraid that the Tubo people will harm you. So are you. I told you to come back early, but went to the desert to go around. I knew that, so I didn’t give you a plan to go out for reinforcements. ."
Li Longji changed the way he usually talked with the minister, snatching Xiaobao and the cuckoo from Gao Lishi's hand, and dragged him to the place where he had just come, talking as he walked.
"Thank your Majesty for your concern. Your Majesty has given you the opportunity to do something. If you don’t leave the customs, wouldn’t you betray your Majesty? Tubo is actually very stupid. If you go around, they will be confused and dare not go into the desert. Good thing, train troops by the way."
Wang Juan followed the words.
"Next time I don’t allow it. I have to go with more elite soldiers. Well said, the Tubo people are really stupid. Hahaha, forty thousand troops. I dare not step into the desert. The cuckoo is gone. Come on, I offer a drink to the two heroes. Can you drink it?"
Li Longji didn't believe that the people of Tubo were stupid, but he was still happy after hearing what Wang Juan said. The majesty and prestige of this battle was also fought happily.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan smelled the smell of wine, knowing it was a low-level remedy, then looked at the size of the cup, nodded and took the glass, and drank with Li Longji and Gao Lishi.
After a glass of wine, Li Longji couldn't wait to say: "Bring me the dishes made by the cuckoo and Xiaobao, and taste it."
When one end of the dish came up, Li Longji directly flung away the eunuch who wanted to taste the dish to test the poison. He took a melon slice and chewed it in his mouth, boasting, "It's delicious, cool and refreshing, why don't you two stay as the royal cook?" "
