In the residence of Prime Minister Sheng Biji in the capital, the order was abnormal, busy maidservants came in and out, and all kinds of refreshments came in one after another. It seemed that there were distinguished guests coming to the door today.
"Hahaha, King Huaide came to the door today, it really makes the humble house luxuriant!" Sheng Biji went to court in the morning, before his buttocks sat still, the servant came to announce that it was King Huaide Liu Zhang who had come.
"Oh? It's King Huaide?! Hurry up! Get the tea ready and go to greet him!" Sheng Biji was overjoyed when he heard that Liu Zhang was coming. In the midst of the fuss, he accidentally knocked down the incense on the table, and the ashes scattered on the table. , making the room more and more fragrant.
The maid hurriedly tidied up. In and out, but also in an orderly manner.
"Hehe, Prime Minister Sheng is still so humorous. If your Xiangfu is a humble house, my Huaide Wangfu is just a hut at best!" Liu Zhang laughed heartily, holding Sheng Biji in one hand, and inviting each other with the other. The two stayed together for a while. Pushing the bucks and giving way, in the end they still entered together.
"Hehe, I heard that King Huaide went to the Northwest to inspect the attack and defense a few days ago, but what instructions do I need the old man to help complete?" Sheng Biji thought over and over again, even though he didn't know what Liu Zhang was talking about, he still took the lead. mouthed.
"Prime Minister Sheng is really well-informed! Hehe, I came from the northwest, and I have a panoramic view of the customs and customs along the way. I am infinitely envious of the great rivers and mountains of my father." Liu Zhang sighed.
"Your Majesty is wise and wise, so that our country is stable. Princes and lords are doing your best. It is really a blessing for me!" Sheng Biji looked brightly at Liu Zhang from time to time, and nodded sincerely.
"Hehe, every time you go on tour, you can gain something. Not only do you gain knowledge, but you also broaden your horizons. Next time, if your father has such a mission, I will invite Prime Minister Sheng to travel together!" Liu Zhang looked up to the sky and smiled imposingly. road.
How dare the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty ask him to inspect the attack and defense of the northwest, but he treats it as a tour? Still want to invite a playmate
"Hehe, dare to ask King Huaide, will this trip be rewarding?" Sheng Bi complimented him very much.
"Harvest? Haha. Prime Minister Sheng..." Liu Zhang straightened his clothes, moved his sitting position, pointed at Sheng Biji casually and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Sheng, your hands are fast enough! This king is the only one. One thing I like. But it was booked in advance by you, hehe, I am really a little frustrated! Therefore, I have never forgotten it, so I followed it all the way to the capital, came to your house, and wanted to relive the delicious food of the day Woolen cloth!"
"Eh... I don't know something, what King Huaide is referring to?" Sheng Biji couldn't figure it out.
"It's a chef in the northwest provincial capital. It seems that his name is Wen Shouzheng, haha. The king of Japan was lucky enough to taste Chef Wen's craftsmanship that day, and he still remembers it vividly. You said it was Prime Minister Sheng, you have already reserved this chef! Hehe. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and I don’t want to compete with Prime Minister Sheng. I just hope that I can be lucky enough to taste Chef Wen’s magical cooking skills again when I come to the house at any time!” Liu Zhang He squinted his eyes, as if he was still reminiscing about the whole sheep banquet that day.
"Wen Shouzheng?" Sheng Biji was thoughtful, "Come here! Go and call Yaoshan here!"
This brat, where have I seen Chef Wen before! You actually put the person whom King Huaide liked into me! Still under my banner! Is there mercury in your brain? Sheng Biji cursed secretly in his heart.
Not long after, Sheng Yaoshan quickly approached. Of course, Sheng Jiaoxue, who heard that King Huaide was coming, was beaming with excitement, and couldn't bear it anymore.
"Father! Are you looking for me?" Sheng Yaoshan called out, and clearly saw Liu Zhang in the front hall.
"I've met King Huaide!" Sheng Yaoshan saluted.
"Yaoshan, King Huaide is going to have a banquet today, and the roll call is for Chef Wen in our house to cook it himself. You go and inform Chef Wen to prepare it. If there is anything missing, hurry up and prepare it, and don't let King Huaide prepare it." Waiting for a long time!" Sheng Biji clearly knew that since the two sons and daughters came back yesterday, there was no more cook named Wen Shouzheng in the house, so he naturally knew that what Liu Zhang said just now was meant to listen to him. Of course, father and son cannot tear each other down in public. Even though he knew that Sheng Yaoshan must be boasting secretly, he still gave his son enough face.
Anyway, you were the one who asked for it, and I haven't seen it yet! Anyway, I've given you enough time. When it's time for dinner, I'll let you go out and find me a chef surnamed Zhang or Li, and cook an elaborate meal. At least to whet King Huaide's appetite!
This is what Sheng Biji thought!
"Obey!" Sheng Yaoshan and Sheng Biji's father and son really had the same heart. After a conversation and a look, he already knew what his father was thinking. Although he felt a lot of guilt in his heart, he still readily agreed.
Anyway, Chef Wen is in the capital, and he lives very close anyway, anyway, the cooking competition in the capital is about to start, so I'm here to practice for Chef Wen, and I'm here so that Dad can see Chef Wen's skills The craftsmanship, maybe you can even give recommendations, which will be of great benefit to Chef Wen!
Thinking of this, Sheng Yaoshan got on his horse and ran quickly towards Wen's house.
"Chef Wen, please come with me to the house and help cook a meal!" As soon as Mrs. Zhou opened the door, Sheng Yaoshan hurried in.
"General Sheng, my father is just an ordinary cook, how can he be qualified to cook in Xiang's mansion!" Ruan Wen immediately followed after hearing this, fearing that something would go wrong at this juncture of the competition.
Everything must be carried out according to the trajectory of the previous life, the competition, then enter the palace, and finally become the royal chef!
At this juncture, what kind of prime minister's mansion do you go to, what kind of cooking do you do!
"Miss Wen, don't you forget that Liu Zhang, the king of Huaide, took a fancy to Chef Wen's craftsmanship and wanted to take Chef Wen in his mansion as a cook? Now, that King Huaide is at my mansion. He would not stop until he had a meal cooked by Chef Wen himself. Yao Shan had no choice but to ask Chef Wen to work hard. After King Huaide was sent away, everything would be as I said before. Come to convince my father, and please rest assured Chef Wen!" Sheng Yaoshan clasped his fists and said.
"What? Liu Zhang! He's here again?!" Hearing this name, Ruan Rou's heart tightened for a while, and she couldn't help clenching her fists tightly!
This god of plague followed him from the northwest to the capital, and now he is really thinking about it! I'm afraid there is some ulterior secret in it!
Thinking of this, the dialogue between Qiao's father and son that Hongxiu hurried to tell that day echoed clearly in Wenrou's mind.
If everything is really as Hongxiu sister said, then all this can be clearly explained.
Although the Qiao family is a relative of the royal family, they have been neglected all the time and cannot become popular. In order to consolidate his own status and the happiness of future generations, Mr. Qiao did not hesitate to curry favor with the current powerful and favored concubine Li Concubine, and although that Li Concubine is the concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she is not the queen of the world. The empress gave birth to two sons, although Concubine Li's son was also a prince, they never had a chance with the prince. That's why Master Qiao thought of using Concubine Li's wish. Helping King Huaide ascend to the position of prince can not only consolidate his position, but also find a backer, why not do it
But what does this have to do with my father
Could it be that Master Qiao wants to use my father's cooking skills to please the current Holy One? Then wait for an opportunity to win Liu Zhang's favor
But if this is the case, how could my father become a sinner who murdered the emperor? Although Liu Zhang became the prince in the end, the Wen family was wiped out. What happened
Tenderness is unknown.
"General Sheng... this... what should I do?! In a few days, Wen and his daughter will participate in the Beijing chef selection competition. At this juncture, if..." Wen Shouzheng didn't know what to do for a while.
In the provincial capital that day. Facing Liu Zhang's selfish desires, fortunately, Sheng Yaoshan stepped forward, using the excuse that Wen Shouzheng had already been favored by Prime Minister Sheng and stayed in the prime minister's mansion as a cook, thus escaping from the confinement of Liu Zhang's mansion.
now. Then Liu Zhang didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd, so he came to the door, and asked Wen Shouzheng to do it by name!
If this really goes, the chef selection competition within reach, I don't know if I can successfully participate in it.
Wen Shouzheng was quite confused.
"General Sheng, didn't you say that day, if that Liu Zhang really came, you said that my father was replaced by a new cook, didn't you? You must keep my father safe, and don't let that Liu Zhang take my father away. into his house!" Gentle reminded.
"Chef Wen, Miss Wen, don't worry! Today I'm just asking Chef Lao Wen to go to the kitchen, and I'll make arrangements for the rest. I will definitely keep warm and the chef will be safe!" Sheng Yaoshan vowed.
"So... General Lao Sheng has to worry about it." Wen Shouzheng gritted his teeth, although he was apprehensive, he still chose to obey.
"Chef Wen. It's getting late, let's go." Sheng Yaoshan urged.
"Father, I'll go with you!" The gentle and beautiful female voice recalled from the side.
"Miss Wen, are you going too?" Sheng Yaoshan was confused.
Thinking about that day on the streets of the provincial capital, he stopped his horse alone to help Miss Wen. Surprised Liu Zhang's guard of honor, although Liu Zhang didn't know that the person was Miss Wen, I am afraid that the rumors in the market, with Miss Wen's outstanding craftsmanship, have long been remembered by Liu Zhang. Although she accidentally heard the introduction of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and wanted to let Miss Wen come to show off her cooking skills, she still escaped danger by relying on Ren Yue's ingenious disguise technique!
Now, Liu Zhang is at the mansion, but Miss Wen has to go to the danger alone. If she reveals her identity again, and that kid Ren Yue is not present, if Liu Zhang really speaks up, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it alone!
Sheng Yaoshan was worried.
"Don't worry, General Sheng. The little girl is just following my father in the kitchen and will never show her face. I really don't want my father to enter the prime minister's house alone. I hope General Sheng will be considerate." said gently.
"This..." Sheng Yaoshan hesitated again.
"General Sheng, don't worry, I'll take Rou'er by my side, and I will never let her have anything to do!" Wen Shouzheng probably felt that he was preparing meals for Liu Zhang, and there was also the dignified Prime Minister's family... It was really powerless for one person, there was Rou'er is naturally more comfortable in helping.
"Then... well, Miss Wen, remember, you must stay in the kitchen and don't go out and show your face!" Sheng Yaoshan warned again.
"Cai Mi, you can go together too!" At this moment, Wen Shouzheng suddenly remembered someone, turned around and said.
"Cough, cough, cough." Cai Mi coughed suddenly, "Chef Wen, it's not that I don't want to go. I've been on the road for the past few days and I'm sick. It's really inconvenient for me to go with you. Please forgive me, Chef Wen." Cai Mi As he said that, he showed a very uncomfortable look on his face.
He is Master Liuwei, he was originally from the palace, thinking that the prime minister's mansion has many eyes and ears, and Liu Zhang is present, someone must recognize him.
After finally escaping from the palace, it is better not to go back!
Cai Mi thought about it this time, so she had no choice but to make a bad move - pretending to be sick.
