"Of course you have to be famous. If you don't, you won't be able to go to the capital!" The gentle voice was still clear and soothing, but in Ren Yue's voice, it was a little abrupt at the moment.
"Do you want to go to the capital that much?!" Ren Yue's voice immediately sank, and the whole person also took a few steps closer, the cold and arrogant aura was so gentle that he was almost out of breath.
"Of course, if you don't go to the capital, how can you enter the palace?" Gentle eyes fixed on Ren Yue who was very close in front of him, but his heart couldn't help beating his drums.
This is the second time she told Ren Yue that she was going to enter the palace.
I don't know if Ren Yue can remember his promise when he said this for the first time.
"Enter the palace?! What are you going to do in the palace? To be a concubine?!" Ren Yue approached again, and the faint scent of medicine almost fell on Gentle's face.
Sure enough, he forgot.
Rourou slightly curled the corners of her mouth and let out a faint sneer.
"What are you laughing at?" Ren Yue asked back, his eyes still fixed on Wen Rou's delicate and thin face.
"Young Master Ren really forgets things a lot, have you forgotten the bet you made that day?" He smiled softly, not afraid of Ren Yue's frosty face and the anger that was about to burst out in his eyes.
"The bet?" Ren Yue paused for a moment, retracting his body slightly.
"That day, when I was cooking fish fin soup, the little girl was ashamed to face everyone's applause. It was Mr. Ren who made the little girl face it calmly. Mr. Ren also had a court appointment with the little girl. If the little girl really If you can enter the palace and become an imperial cook, Mr. Ren will definitely..." Wenrou's words were not finished yet.
Ren Yue immediately thought of something, and immediately said naturally: "One of your wishes will definitely be fulfilled."
"Young Master Ren, do you remember?" A trace of surprise suddenly appeared on the gentle face.
"That's right, I said it. But, I don't understand why you, a girl, want to be famous in the palace? Is it such a beautiful job to cook imperial meals in front of the emperor?" Ren Yue calmed down a little. In a low tone, he turned around with his hands behind his back, and said slowly with his back to Wen Rou.
"En. Of course." Wen Rou didn't explain much, but just responded softly.
"Hehe, I really don't understand the minds of you people. Thinking about the people in the capital and the palace, they are fearful and fearful all day long, walking on thin ice. The only wish in their hearts is to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. You want to be that caged bird!" Ren Yue's voice revealed some helplessness and worry.
"There are many things that people don't understand in this world, so why should Mr. Ren be entangled in whether the little girl can enter the palace or not be an imperial cook!" Gentle walked forward slowly, and finally stopped behind Ren Yue.
The slender and smooth back line is in front of gentle eyes, and the clean white clothes are under the bright spring sun. It's really dazzling.
His ink-like hair was tied loosely behind his back.
Rourou suddenly had an urge to go forward and hug Ren Yue tightly from behind.
This peerless son who made her heart-rending and regretful in her previous life was standing before her eyes so vividly now.
I endured it for so long. From forbearance in the past life to this life, from entanglement to forbearance, to let go, and then to open-mindedness.
The gentle heart once again changed from a pool of still water to a stormy sea.
It is right in front of your eyes, within reach, but it seems to have roots under your feet.
Suddenly. Ren Yue turned around slowly.
...
Wenrou didn't know what was going on, after his mind went blank, Ren Yue turned around again and looked at him so closely, the faint scent of medicine hit him, slowly calming Wenrou That tangled heart.
Ren Yue's warm eyes. Never see the frosty cold again.
Only Qing Yang's hair, it's hard to tell whether it's gentle or Ren Yue's, it's just so lightly entwined, entangled between the two.
"If you have to do that, I just hope you pay attention everywhere." The medicinal scent on Ren Yue's body, together with his voice like empty mountain buckling jade, sprinkled faintly in front of Wen Rou.
"Yeah." Wen Rou replied infatuatedly.
When he came back to his senses, Ren Yue had already disappeared in front of him.
It seemed that everything before was a fantasy, he had never talked to himself so closely, not in the previous life, not in this life, only just now.
"Pay attention? Pay attention to what?" After some sweet thinking, Rourou suddenly remembered what Ren Yue said.
Could it be that Ren Yue is not Ren Yue
Could it be that Ren Yue is Ren Yue
Did he discover something? Or are you deliberately hiding it
Wen Rou thought hard for a long time, her head felt like a pain, but she failed in the end.
"Sister Rou'er, so you are here! Chef Wen has been looking for you for a long time." Hongxiu came from the back door gracefully.
"Oh, sister Hongxiu, I'm going back now. We'll have a ring tomorrow, and sister Hongxiu must come and cheer for us!" With a gentle and sweet smile, she ran away cheerfully.
"This girl! You're really heartless. You're going to have a fight tomorrow, but you don't seem nervous at all. You still have the heart to play in the backyard! By the way, that white shadow just now...why does it seem to be Mr. Ren... "Hongxiu froze in place.
Night came silently...
Wen Shouzheng carefully checked the kitchen utensils and knives to be used tomorrow, and carefully thought about the recipes in his mind, and went back to bed full of worries.
Rourou waited quietly in the kitchen alone, she was waiting for Cai Mi.
At night, Cai Mi will definitely come.
And, tomorrow is going to be a show...
In the small courtyard of Wen's family, the sound of snoring gradually increased.
The familiar figure wandered into the kitchen as usual.
"Master." Rourou rested her chin with one hand, and when she saw Cai Mi coming in, she immediately stood up from the stool.
"Haven't you gone to bed yet?" Cai Mi changed her usual cold face and asked with concern.
"Well, I'm going to fight with my father tomorrow, and I'm thinking of learning some new dishes with my master tonight." Gentlely replied.
"I also heard from Mr. Qiao and Shopkeeper Li." Cai Mi walked up to Rourou, sat down slowly, and continued, "Actually, you girl is quite talented, and you are a good material for learning how to cook. Follow me , True or false, I have watched a lot of dishes more or less, if you can master all of them, your cooking skills are already higher than most cooks. As far as skills are concerned..." Cai Mi said this , turned over a cup of tea, drank it in a big gulp, and said with a smile: "There is no specific technique in cooking, it is nothing more than the splicing and complicated combination of those basic skills, and the pursuit of the original taste of food can be transformed into invisible. It is truly brilliant!"
"Master, I've made a note." Gentle listened to Cai Mi's teaching seriously, and nodded heavily.
"Hehe, it's your father who is eager for success. These days, I have seen his cooking skills deliberately, and the dishes he made for cooking really lost his original skills. If you continue to fight like this tomorrow, you will definitely lose." Although the light in the kitchen was dim, Cai Mi's eyes were bright.
"Master, I've made a note. I'll remind daddy tomorrow." He nodded gently and submissively again.
"Okay, let's get some rest early! Keep your spirits up, tomorrow I will stand in the crowd and cheer for you!" Cai Mi got up, intending to leave.
"Master, you won't teach me how to cook tonight?" Rourou felt a little lost.
"Hehe, I've taught everything that needs to be taught, and everything depends on your understanding. Besides, it's not too late tonight, just hug the Buddha's feet temporarily, the Buddha knows who you are? Hahahaha." Cai Mi folded her hands and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Master." Gentle said.
"How many times have I said it, don't bark! I'm just a handyman! Hahahaha!" Cai Mi's figure disappeared into the boundless night.
On the second day, it was dawn...
Early in the morning, in front of the door of Zuixian Building, from the private room on the second floor to the window lattice on the first floor, a huge banner was hung like a couplet.
The letter said: "One dish and one game determine the outcome, and we will face all the masters in the culinary world." The horizontal comment "Wen Shouzheng and his daughter put on a challenge".
It makes people dumbfounded, this is really "what a big tone!"
At this time, Wen Shouzheng was still at home with gentleness.
"His father, are you putting on a show today?" Mrs. Zhou got up early and prepared a hearty breakfast.
"Hmm." Wen Shouzheng was holding a big white steamed bun in his hand, and he just put it in his mouth, but he didn't intend to continue talking to Zhou Shi at all.
"Mother, you have breakfast later, clean up and go to Zuixianlou to watch us perform!" Rourou said with a smile while holding the porridge bowl.
"It's necessary, eat quickly, eat more, and go to prepare with your father first after eating, I will clean up, and then take your brother there!" Zhou replied with a smile.
"Women and Taoists watch what's going on. It's just old men competing to cook. What's the point? If you have that spare time, why not wash and cook at home." Wen Shouzheng's face was tense, but his subordinates speeded up their meal. rhythm.
"Hey, you old bastard, am I missing you to eat or lack your clothes? You still care about me! I'm going to watch the fun today! There is a competition with my daughter, I am a mother You must be there! You thought you were going to see you! You are beautiful!" Zhou Shi scolded, and then peeled another egg for Rou Rou.
"Father, since you won't let mother go, let me represent you! Hehe, I'll go and cheer you and your sister!" Wen Ting rubbed his sleepy eyes and came out of the room. It was obvious that this was last night. I worked hard again.
"You brat, don't study anymore! You're going to take the entrance exam soon! You still have the heart to watch the fun! After eating, get the hell out of here and go to study with my husband! If you don't pass the exam again, hehe, get drunk Xianlou washes the dishes!" Wen Shouzheng put down the bowl and shouted at Wen Ting.
Just as Wen Ting was about to reply, Rou Rou quickly winked at Wen Ting.
"Father, I'm done eating, let's go!" Rourou got up, and when she turned around, she winked mischievously at Zhou Shi and Wen Ting, which meant that we are leaving first, and you will follow.
Just as the father and daughter went out, a carriage was already waiting at the door.
Sheng Yaoshan poked his head out of the car, waved his hands, and said, "Chef Wen, Miss Wen, get in the car quickly! This is specially arranged by Mr. Song Tao, don't miss Mr.'s wishes."
