Chapter 154 Liangpi (1)
There are still not many people in the public kitchen for lunch, and everyone who stays in Dali Temple for dinner with a slumped face is tasteless.
This Master Sun is also embarrassed! Previously, when I partnered with Master Wang, we all had skills that could only be imported, and it was fine if we didn't think about making progress. Right now, I'm with Master Wen, and it's so embarrassing to see Master Wen cook differently every day.
Not only was he not enterprising, but Master Sun who was guarding the table seemed not to have even put his mind on the food in front of him, even when he was ordering the food, he was absent-minded, and even made the wrong food.
Looking at the wilted vegetables covered with three spoonfuls of fried vegetables in the bowl, the face of the servant who came to receive the meal was not much better than those vegetables. He raised his head and looked at Master Sun, who was staring blankly, and immediately turned his face away: "Sun, what are you doing? If you don't want to stay in the public kitchen, just leave, don't stay here to occupy a seat and do nothing!"
The sudden high-pitched voice startled the absent-minded Master Sun. When he came back to his senses, he was stunned for a moment when he faced the unkind servant in front of him, but he was not as cowardly as before, but somehow Then, he actually spoke directly to the guard in front of him: "If you like to eat, 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 office to fire me, Sun Dingren!"
One sentence immediately provoked the guard into a rage, and he waved a plate of green vegetables to cover Sun Dingren's head.
When Ji Caimai, who was resting in the house, heard the news, the public kitchen was already in a mess. From the food and bowls all over the floor, one could see the situation of the "violent war" just now.
With a dark face, Ji Caimai pointed at the mess all over the floor, and said to Wen Mingtang and A Bingtong Tangyuan who came over after hearing the news, "Look, look! What is this Sun Dingren still doing in our Dali Temple? I just want to cause trouble!"
Wen Mingtang and the others fell silent. Before the three of them could speak, they heard a noise coming from outside the courtyard. They looked back, only to see a few guards pushing and shoving into the courtyard with Master Sun with a bad face. One of them raised a stack of medicine packs in his hand and said loudly to Wen Mingtang and Tong Ji Caimai: "During the dispute just now, this person surnamed Sun ran into his yard. When we chased after him, we found that this person surnamed Sun was on the stage of the house. There is a pack of crotons! A master cook, why buy so many crotons, who is he trying to harm?"
Another guard sneered, looked at Master Sun, and snorted, "I'm afraid I won't see Master Wen's good cooking skills, so I'm going to secretly gnaw beans in Master Wen's dishes!"
Ji Caimai, who was opposite, heard this, and his face sank: "Okay! It's a takeaway thing, can't it be embarrassing, Master Wen is planning to hurt people with his chin again?"
Master Sun's face turned pale when he heard the words. He just bought from Shangji, but he still straightened his back and said, "Where's the evidence? Can I buy the medicine mouse?"
Which medicine rat uses croton? What is this for? Is it to let the mouse collapse, and it will not be able to raise it if it comes to catch it?
Master Sun couldn’t stop so many accusations no matter how much he could quibble with his mouth. After a quarrel, he “sick and asked for leave”.
"What a troublemaker!" Watching Master Sun leave, Ji Caimai turned to Wen Mingtang and said, "Sun Dingren has been on leave for a few days, so let me take over this lunch for now!" As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Mingtang Ah Bing and Tangyuan on the side said again, "You two should study hard too! Of course, if there is a good cook, I will look into it."
One of the public chefs of Dali Temple is only on the table, Master Wen, which is indeed not enough! Fortunately, A Bing and Tang Yuan are quite smart, otherwise, they would really mess up.
"I want to keep you busy!" Ji Caimai said to Wen Mingtang, "I will give you all the chores in the public kitchen right now! You don't have to do take-out meals and clean up these chores, just concentrate on preparing Three meals will be enough."
Wen Mingtang nodded and said "Okay", glanced at the direction where Master Sun was leaving, thought for a while, but was a little puzzled: "Why did he think of buying crotons? If there is something wrong with eating here, I think our Dali It's not like the temple can't find out who the 'behind the scenes' is!"
Wen Mingtang thought for a while, and said, "It's hot and I don't have much appetite, let's make cold noodles!"
Liangpi! Ji Caimai said "Oh", with a little bit of anticipation in her tone: "There are new dishes to eat, I will come over earlier when I eat at night!" After that, he went back to the house to catch up on sleep.
There was a commotion in Dali Temple, but Liu Yuan and the others who were on the go did not rest. They had a meal in the restaurant in a hurry, and then went to the hotel to deal with the Goguryeo envoys.
As for Lin Fei, he went to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty.
As soon as he heard that Lin Feidao came for the "elixir of immortality", His Majesty backed away.
After all the palace people had retreated, the sage who was sitting behind the case reviewing the memorial put down the pen in his hand, looked at Lin Fei, and said, "A Fei, you should know about this elixir," he said, and wrote it down A few pens were moved between the pen holders on the table, and after a sound of mechanism opening and closing, a square-sized hidden grid appeared on the case where the Holy Majesty was reviewing the memorials. Like kicking a ball, he fished out a fist-sized purple elixir from it, and said, "The elixir is in my hands!"
The tribute that was paid to "import" was held in the hand like this. Obviously, the Holy One did not intend to "import" the elixir.
But here's where it gets interesting! This is the lost "elixir" that the envoys of Goguryeo have been looking for for a long time, but the Holy One sent someone to take it away?
Lin Fei didn't show any surprise on his face, he just bent down and gave a salute, saying: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The Holy One took not only this elixir, but also the "immortal master" who asked for immortality a few years ago.
The first emperor was stupid, but after all it was the father, the prince who was still the prince at that time naturally dared not take any action, only dared to solve this secret work called "immortal teacher" in private, but in fact it was a mystery.
"The envoys of Goguryeo are still investigating," Lin Fei said, "I am entering the palace today for Princess Chaoan's business."
"Chao'an?" The majesty frowned, obviously impressed with this half-born imperial sister, but the relationship is mediocre in ordinary days, not close.
"What happened to her?" asked the Holy One.
Lin Fei told the story of King Yu, and then said: "Princess Chao'an's son-in-law hinted that we are waiting for someone to confuse the royal blood!"
Hearing this, His Majesty's expression froze immediately: "This matter should be investigated!"
Although it is said that she is not close to this imperial sister and has the right to raise her like a rich and idle person, it does not mean that the Holy Majesty does not care about this princess. Or, it can be said that what His Majesty cares about is not Princess Chaoan, but the concubine Li who raised Princess Chaoan.
Princess Chaoan's biological mother was a talented person. She died of dystocia when she gave birth to Princess Chaoan, and she was always raised by Concubine Li. They are not mother and daughter, but they are better than mother and daughter.
Although that concubine Li died of illness a few years ago, she was always favored in the late emperor's harem. To be favored by the first emperor is naturally beautiful. However, apart from her beauty, the reason why Concubine Li is enduring in favor is that Concubine Li was also a "female fairy teacher" who "practiced" before entering the palace.
