    117. Knowing Zeng Jian Frost Snow

    Pei Nianyu looked at his dear brother with great pity, how many dark-cooked Laba porridge he stuffed into his stomach this day.

    It is simply a difficult life.

    Then Pei Nianyu immediately thought that cooking porridge is so unreliable, this imperial dining room committee is really too unreliable.This is no longer a matter of lack of cooking skills, it is a matter of not even knowing the standard of how to cook food!

    The level of the imperial dining room...how can he teach?

    Pei Nianyu frowned and asked:

    "Why do you drink different porridge every time you go?"

    Pei Niancheng had already drank the first bowl into his stomach with a bit of a slur, while Li Han at the side scooped him the second bowl just in time.

    Pei Nianyu didn't care, anyway, the whole white pottery casserole was prepared for his younger brother, let him drink as much as he could.

    "Of course. All departments of the ceremony have to do it. Some in the palace are prepared by the imperial dining room and sent to them, and some outside the palace can only drink what they make."

    "So the ones I drink are all kinds, each of which tastes bad. Sigh...it's hard for Li Han. In order to test the poison for me, he drank as many kinds as I drank."

    Pei Nianyu immediately looked sideways:

    "Hey, Xiao Sheng, when did you care so much about Li Han? Didn't he test poison for you every day before, and didn't see you say anything after eating so many dark dishes."

    Pei Niancheng didn't notice the strange meaning in his brother's tone at all, he was still addicted to the porridge, and almost buried his whole face in the bowl:

    "There is no happiness without comparison... You didn't wear it before... Well, the recipes in those 'ancient books' were not passed down..."

    Pei Niancheng had lingering fears and almost slipped his mouth.

    Li Han on the side looked at his nose, nose and heart, his expression remained motionless.

    There was more than half of the casserole left, Pei Niancheng looked at the person beside him and said:

    "Li Han, come and drink too. You don't have to wait for me to finish drinking before I give you the rest. This pot will be cold after a while and it won't taste good."

    Li Han was obviously taken aback:

    "...Yes. Thank you, Master."

    After Pei Niancheng finished his porridge, he briefly discussed with his brother about the future "training" of the imperial chef, and then he put his hand heavily on Pei Nianyu's shoulder, with a deep tone:

    "Brother, my quality of life... depends on you!"

    Pei Nianyu slapped his dragon paw expressionlessly.

    ………………

    On the second day, Fang Heng came over early in the morning and brought a small notebook.

    "Your Majesty, the imperial chefs who came over to learn from the imperial dining room...do you have any requirements? After all, they have to maintain the daily diet in the palace, so it is impossible for all of them to come here. Among those who really know how to cook, only about 30% of them can be drawn.Come."

    Pei Nianyu was puzzled:

    "The real chef?"

    "Yes. There is 1 Shangshan chief and 2 Shangshan deputy chiefs in the imperial dining room. This time, a deputy chief will come to lead the team. The following 12 Shangshan consuls will come to 6 consuls. These are the Ministry of Internal AffairsOfficials with ranks are from the second rank to the fourth rank, and they don't know how to cook..."

    Pei Nianyu almost cursed:

    "You can't cook, what are you doing here? Do you eat plain rice?"

    Fang Heng knew that the prince would react in this way, but it was not that simple.

    After he went to be in charge of announcing this matter in the imperial dining room yesterday, all the cooking officials, big and small, immediately went crazy.

    Why?

    Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

    The royal chefs came to study their skills, and when they returned home after learning, His Majesty would only order new dishes from now on.If anyone gets His Majesty's favor, wouldn't the future be boundless?

    These general managers and consuls are in charge of their respective chefs and chefs, and they are fighting openly and secretly on weekdays.Encountering such a major event this time, it is simply too much to overwhelm.

    Fang Heng couldn't help but smiled wryly, this matter, he still had a headache when he went back to pick people.With the Wang Ye's heart... Forget it, I can only beat them hard, don't let them get in the way of the Wang Ye.

    "In each department of the imperial dining room, each stove has a chief chef. These are the real imperial chefs who are in charge of the cooking. They will draw 30% of the money and each chef will bring their own kitchen assistant."

    "Among them, there will be 10 chief chefs from each of the meat and vegetable bureaus. There will be 3 chefs from each of the rice and porridge bureaus. 4 chefs from the dim sum bureau and 2 chefs from the hanging stove bureau. There are less than 40 chefs in total."

    Pei Nianyu pondered for a moment:

    "Well, let me think about it."

    Fang Heng began to jot down the request with his pen flying.

    "First of all, you can't think too rigidly. You have to teach him how you listen, and you can't always think that your previous method is correct."

    "Secondly, it's best to learn how to cook with sincerity. Don't worry too much about other things."

    The pen in Fang Heng's hand paused.

    Sincerely learn to cook, and have no other thoughts... Well, does this kind of person really exist in the Imperial Dining Room?

    Which one of those people really likes cooking.

    Difficult...

    "And then, you have to... um... you have to be mentally balanced."

    "...What is 'psychological balance'?"

    "It's just that I know my talent well, I can't just say that he is too stupid to be glass-hearted!!"

    Fang Heng: "..."

    "My subordinate understands, understands!"

    ………………

    After Fang Heng left, Pei Nianyu decided not to think about it anymore.

    No matter how difficult it is to teach apprentices, it is enough for soldiers to come and cover them with water and soil.Anyway, it doesn't matter how awesome the House of Internal Affairs is, it's just a group of eunuchs, and he is the current prince.

    Teach them by yourself, whoever is disobedient, whoever doesn't practice well, just spray it.

    At night, Pei Nianyu was thinking while writing the teaching plan on the paper.

    However, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the knock on the door.

    Pei Nianyu looked up, but it was Jiang Xue, and couldn't help being a little surprised:

    "Jiang Xue, what do you do?"

    Speaking of which, Jiangxue, as Pei Nianyu's personal maid and personal bodyguard, was supposed to protect the prince at every step.But on the one hand, Pei Nianyu no longer likes maids serving by his side, and on the other hand, the role of bodyguard is naturally assigned to his family, Ye Feng.Back and forth...

    Jiang Xue, who has nothing to do, spends all day indulging in practicing kung fu in the house except for eating and drinking with Sister Yun Shao.

    "Owner!"

    Jiang Xue clasped her fists in a salute, only then did Pei Nianyu notice that she was not wearing her usual half-shirt and skirt today, but was wearing a strong outfit specially designed for female shadow guards in combat.

    "Old He... Cough, no, a slip of the tongue. Did He command him to get up?"

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    It is obviously a normal day and night shift, but Jiang Xue said it was getting up. This...well, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, the shadow guards of He Qi and the others only wake up at night.

    Lou Yefeng on the side couldn't help but look at the night outside the window and said:

    "Look at the time, it should be here."

    Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, a gray figure flew in from the window, half kneeling on the ground:

    "Master! Subordinate He Qi sees the master..."

    Pei Nianyu was impatient with him saluting so verbosely every day

    "Excuse me, Jiang Xue has something to do with you."

    "Ok?"

    In front of Jiang Xue Hengjian, she said loudly:

    "Commander He, you said earlier that you had to let your subordinates compete with you before you can become the deputy commander of the mansion. Now that your subordinates have achieved success in martial arts, today I ask the Commander to give me advice!"

    Lou Yefeng had long expected that such a day would come sooner or later, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, while watching the show in his eyes, he calmly helped the master tidy up the notes he had just written.

    Pei Nianyu's expression changed immediately:

    "Jiang Xue, Old He was fined a few days ago, and that was two hundred lashes. How could you take advantage of others? He Qi, he can't use force at all recently!"

    "Hmm...? Oh, yes... sorry..."

    Jiang Xue obviously forgot about this.These days he was obsessed with practicing kung fu, and after making a breakthrough, he couldn't wait to come to the martial arts competition, but he forgot the whips that He Qi received before.

    She heard the words and put away the sword embarrassingly.

    He Qi was furious. The last thing a man can say is no, not to mention he is a shadow guard, and he is also the leader of the shadow guard.

    He Qi's eyes immediately turned wrong, as if he had been ignited by Jiang Xue, he slapped the table:

    "Master, it's okay! Isn't it just a martial arts competition, what's wrong with it!"

    Pei Nianyu looked at him worriedly:

    "Old He, are your injuries healed?"

    "It doesn't matter. It's just some minor injuries, and it doesn't hinder the operation of internal energy. Besides, if you are punished, you can't use force. Is it possible that the shadow guard will not be punished from now on?"

    "Jiang Xue, let's go, you pick a place!"

    "Hey—hey, you two!"

    Pei Nianyu looked at the two people who were gearing up, and suddenly became bald, and turned to look at the silent person:

    "Ye Feng, you're trying to persuade them."

    Lou Yefeng pondered for a moment, but said:

    "...Master, this subordinate agrees with Old He's statement. The shadow guard shouldn't be so squeamish. After being whipped a few times, he lay on the hospital bed and couldn't get up."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    "Besides, both of them are first-class masters in the mansion, and their realm is beyond the comparison of ordinary shadow guards. Master, if you go to watch this competition, it will greatly improve your martial arts."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    old building Why do you keep practicing martial arts in three sentences...

    Pei Nianyu looked at the two pairs of equally expectant eyes, and knew that this was a battle of dignity between the shadow guards, which was an extremely precious fighting spirit, and he couldn't bear to brush off their spirit, so he had no choice but to agree.

    "Okay, but you can just make gestures and fist moves, click as far as you can, click as far as you can."

    He Qi and Jiang Xue naturally ignored these words.

    This martial arts competition is about whether Jiang Xue can become the deputy commander as she wishes. Only when Jiang Xue wins He Qi, He Qi will let her be.After all, Jiangxue's scheming and methods are not very good, Qi and Lian Xiao, if her martial arts can't beat her, what kind of deputy commander will she still be.

    For Jiang Xue, she is the most talented person among the shadow guards in this mansion (except Lou Yefeng), this is an opportunity to prove her status in martial arts.As far as He Qi is concerned, he is the shadow leader. Although his talent is not as good as Jiang Xue's, if she wins, it will be embarrassing.

    So... Just kidding, how can it be possible to stop, there must be a winner.

    After Pei Nianyu agreed, Lou Yefeng suddenly said:

    "Master, you need to send more shadow guards nearby, in case the two of them fight to the death, and if other dangers arise, rescue cannot be made in time."

    Pei Nianyu thought for a moment, then shook his head:

    "Forget it, don't let other shadow guards watch. Whoever wins, the other will lose face."

    In fact, he was mainly afraid that Old He would lose face in front of his subordinates after losing.

    "Let's go directly to the front of the Yin'an Hall. There is a large venue, which is convenient for them to fight. Moreover, the square in front of the Yin'an Hall is extremely open, and the enemy has nowhere to hide. There is absolutely no danger."

    Lou Yefeng agreed to this proposal:

    "That's okay. The subordinates are staring at the surroundings. It is indeed difficult for the enemy to approach without hiding."

    …………

    After a stick of incense, in front of Yin'an Hall.

    The moonlight shone down coolly.

    The two contestants stood in the middle of the open square, while Pei Nianyu and Lou Yefeng stood on the altar in front of the Yin'an Hall, eating melons and watching the show.

    He Qi held the Righteousness Sword in his hand, waved his sleeve:

    "Jiang Xue, I am the commander, I will let you do three tricks first."

    Sure enough, Jiang Xue was furious. She unleashed her cold jade sword, floated up, and blocked He Qi's escape route with one move, leaving him with no room to let go:

    "Who do you look down on!"

    Lou Yefeng supported his forehead: "It's over!"

    Pei Nianyu turned to look at him suspiciously:

    "What's wrong?"

    Lou Yefeng lowered his voice:

    "Old He...Although the previous trauma didn't affect him much, there was always a little bit of it. Besides, his strength was slightly weaker than Jiang Xue's, and he deliberately provoked her...Master, what do you think old He is trying to do."

    Pei Nianyu looked at the gray figure on the field, who seemed extremely determined in every move, and suddenly smiled:

    "Maybe... Lao He himself doesn't want to think that he is weaker than Jiang Xue..."
