Jinyi champion

Chapter 316

When Zhu Hao woke up, Tang Yin was seeing off the guests at the door, and put Wang Shouren into the sedan chair.

Looking at the sky, he did not sleep for long.

Tang Yin was about to come back to wake Zhu Hao up, but when he found Zhu Hao sitting there looking at him, he quickly greeted him: "Let's go."

Zhu Hao got up, tidied up a bit and walked out of the restaurant together with him.

Lu Song personally followed with two guards, and there were people behind to complete some aftermath such as checkout.

"It's finally over, so I won't be needed later, right?" Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin nodded with a smile.

Lu Song had already harnessed the carriage, came forward to ask for instructions, Tang Yin waved his hand to signal no need, continued to walk side by side with Zhu Hao, turned his head and asked, "I haven't asked you yet, how was your exam today?"

As soon as Zhu Hao heard it, he knew that Tang Yin had sent Wang Shouren away, he was in a good mood, and he actually cared about his own situation.

"Alright." Zhu Hao said.

Tang Yin said angrily: "That's right, with your level, if you don't even pass the government examination... It can only be said that you have other distractions and can't concentrate on your studies. It's all your own fault."

When Zhu Hao heard this, his face was full of displeasure: "I took the government exam today, but you asked me to hand in the papers early and come to meet the high officials at noon. If I fail the exam, the responsibility will still be on me?"

Tang Yin glanced sideways at Zhu Hao, and continued walking forward.

"Mr. Tang, are you going back to the palace? I won't go back with you. I still have to find a place to eat... I just dealt with it before entering the examination room in the morning, and now I'm almost hungry. When you grow up, it’s okay not to eat three meals a day like you.”

Zhu Hao said goodbye to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin looked at the carriage that Zhu Hao had brought by himself and was waiting there on the side of the street. The coachman and his attendants looked at the two of them eagerly. Zhu Hao was now the "eldest young master" after all, and he didn't want to wander the street with him after the business was over.

Tang Yin rubbed his stomach: "I'll go with you."

Zhu Hao was speechless for a moment.

He looked back at Dongsheng Pavilion and asked, "If I remember correctly, you just came out of there, right? Chicken, duck and fish are all on the table, and you actually want to eat with me?"

Tang Yin sighed: "Meeting with old friends is at most a few glasses of wine, and confessing our heartfelt farewell. How can I have a meal? After seeing the guests out, do you want me to go back upstairs and have some food for my stomach? I have ordered my followers to let They sorted it out and brought it back in food boxes, and distributed it to the brothers..."

Zhu Hao really wanted to say, you are quite generous, a big table of good wine and good food was directly shared by others, and then you come to my place for a meal?

Really thick skin.

"Zhu Hao, I'm going with you, just to eat something casually. Is it in the way? Didn't I invite you before? Of course, if I go to your house... then forget it."

What Tang Yin meant was, if you want to go home for dinner, then I won't go with you. Everyone knows that your mother and aunt are widows, and they all say that widows have a lot of gossip, so I won't make trouble for myself.

Zhu Hao said: "It's okay to eat if you want, but please don't ask too much, especially if there are female relatives in the place I'm taking you, you'd better... restrain yourself."

"it's okay no problem."

Tang Yin was very happy when he heard that he could have a meal with Zhu Hao.

Finally, I can take advantage of this kid.

……

……

After taking the government examination, Zhu Hao finally had some free time, he could take his attention away from his studies all the time, and he wanted to reward himself first.

So today he prepared a "celebration banquet" for himself, not with his family, but alone... a hot pot meal.

Zhu Hao took a carriage and took Tang Yin to the courtyard where the laboratory was located.

Lu Song went back to the palace to report, leaving two guards running to follow, and several guards from Zhu Hao's side also came along.

When they arrived at the place, the two got out of the carriage, Zhu Hao stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door, only to see someone chopping firewood in the courtyard.

It is Guan Jing.

"Boss, are you...?"

Guan Jing glanced at Tang Yin, although Tang Yin was not his husband, he was the teacher of the Dong family, so he hurried over to salute.

Zhu Hao said: "Go and tell Miss Gongye that I'm here, and ask her to bring the things I ordered to prepare in advance."

The laboratory is connected with the school, Guan Jing hurriedly went to the next door to inform Gong Yeling.

Tang Yin glanced in the direction of the school, and there was a vague sound of a woman reading aloud, she was studying "The Classic of Filial Piety for Women", and Tang Yin's eyes were a little weird.

"Sit down, I'll go in and get something."

Zhu Hao pointed to the small bench Guan Jing was sitting on while chopping firewood.

Tang Yin wanted to sit down, but in the end, out of concern for face, he stood there, looked around the yard, and asked, "Do you need help? I'll be with you."

……

……

Zhu Hao didn't let Tang Yin follow, he quickly walked to the side room, and took out the copper hot pot specially prepared for eating hot pot.

This copper hot pot is divided into three layers, the top is small and the bottom is large. The uppermost layer is a cylindrical flue, the middle is a disc-shaped container, and the lower part is a furnace support. Bai Juyi once wrote a poem describing this object: Wine, a small red clay stove. It will snow in the evening, can you have a glass?"

As for the ingredients... There is no refrigerator these days, and meat products are not easy to keep. It is not easy to get some seafood back from Anlu, an inland place, unless Zhu Hao is going to have boiled salted fish... that is not something ordinary people can afford s things.

But Zhu Hao was still prepared.

There is a lot of pork, and then there is lamb...

Fortunately, it is convenient to buy things in Anlu City. People go to the morning market to buy them, and then ask people to cut them into thin slices. The temperature is not high in March, and it has only been half a day, and the ingredients are still very fresh.

"It's cooking." Zhu Hao said.

Tang Yin watched Zhu Hao busy there. The copper hot pot was filled with charcoal, and after it was lit, water was boiled in a plate-shaped container. There was nothing on the table next to it.

Tang Yin asked curiously: "Are you preparing to boil water for me?"

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, but it was Gong Yeling and Guan Jing who came in, carrying wooden trays, on which were placed many ingredients on plates, mainly meat and some vegetables , but there are not many vegetables in March, just radishes, Chinese cabbage, and pea tips.

"I met Mr. Lu."

Gong Yeling saluted Tang Yin politely.

Tang Yin hesitated when he saw a woman.

Maybe it's because he has little experience in communicating with women in the past few years, which makes him look like a first-time brother with stage fright when he comes into contact with the opposite sex... It's just that at your age, shouldn't you treat it calmly without distinction between men and women?

"Just put it aside, do you want to sit down and eat together?" Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

"Don't dare."

Gong Yeling said, "If there is a need, the master just asks, and the little girl will wait next door."

After Gong Yeling put down his things, he took Guan Jing and left.

……

……

"Is this the one who sang the White Snake?"

Tang Yin took his gaze back when they left.

Zhu Hao was still fiddling there, hearing that he didn't stop working, and said angrily: "I advise you not to think wrongly, Miss Gongye has a higher heart than the sky, and now she doesn't have a contract with the troupe, she wants to leave Just go, I can't stop it."

Tang Yin said: "Then why is she here?"

Zhu Hao pointed to the next door: "Help Mrs. Gongsun... You don't know, right next door is the girls' school I opened, and she works as a teaching assistant here, sometimes helping with teaching, and sometimes taking care of the kitchen ...bring me that jar here."

Tang Yin casually handed over the pottery Zhu Hao was pointing at, saw the gray things inside, frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Zhu Hao said: "Sesame paste, you don't think it's...cough! Have some?"

"Ah."

Of course Tang Yin was not polite, and then he saw Zhu Hao put garlic, green onion, tempeh, bean curd, and kohlrabi into the bowl one after another to prepare it, and couldn't help swallowing.

Now he was sitting on a chair waiting, seeing that Zhu Hao added green onions and sliced ​​ginger to the water after the water boiled, and asked curiously, "Are you going...to cook these ingredients? This...isn't it too common?"

Zhu Hao didn't say anything.

Continuing to add things to the pot, Tang Yin frowned again.

"This is a broth made in advance with butter, cornel chili oil, peppercorns, and five spices. It is mainly spicy and spicy, and it is used to enhance the aroma and flavor."

After Zhu Hao finished speaking, the red oily spicy soup was already boiling, and the aroma was tangy. He couldn't help swallowing, and poured mutton slices and pork slices into it one after another.

After a long time of tinkering, the first pot of ingredients was cooked, and Zhu Hao finally ate his first meal of spicy hot pot since he came to Daming.

that feeling...

hot!
hemp!
Cool!
Taking advantage of the heat, Zhu Hao didn't care about Tang Yin who was on the side, and began to gobble it up on his own.

Tang Yin frowned, seeing how delicious Zhu Hao was eating, he couldn't help stretching out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it into the bowl, and put it in his mouth...

It doesn't matter this attempt, it feels like a door has been opened in his mouth, a feeling he has never had in most of his life...

"Zhu Hao, this... this..."

Tang Yin found himself suddenly not good at speaking.

Zhu Hao said: "If Mr. Tang doesn't like this way of eating, he can leave his stomach until the evening. Anyway, there are people in the palace for dinner these days, so I don't prepare many ingredients here."

As he spoke, Zhu Hao used an iron ladle to scoop out mutton and pork slices from the pot.

For some reason, Tang Yin seemed to be choking, and coughed: "Save some for me."

Zhu Hao smiled brightly, knowing that Tang Yin's eyes were high and his hands were low, he handed the ladle to Tang Yin casually.

……

……

Both young and old feasted on it.

Tang Yin's banquets were mainly drinking, and he ate little or no food. What he wanted was to be free and easy. With his strong body, he could not consume much energy in a day, so he was not too picky about the quality of the food.

But today let him really see the deliciousness.

"It's so spicy... At this time, it would be nice to have a little more wine..." As an alcoholic, Tang Yin felt refreshed physically and mentally after eating hot pot, and at the same time, his alcohol addiction suddenly developed.

Zhu Hao said: "I'm sorry, no, I'm not ready for you to come and eat... Who do you think can drink in this yard?"

Tang Yin smiled wryly, and Gu Zuo said to him: "By the way, Zhu Hao, I haven't asked you yet, what is the topic of today's government test? Tell me, and I will help you refer to it."

While talking, he reached for a plate and was about to put another plate of mutton into the pot.

Zhu Hao said: "The topic is that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen..."

"cough!"

Tang Yin was choked again.

I'm fucking here to prepare the ingredients for the pot, and your kid is next to me and says "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", are you sincere, aren't you?
Zhu Hao took the plate and poured the mutton into the pot by himself: "Mr. Tang, do you think I'm lying to you? That's the topic. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yuan Rulin when you get back."

"Forget it! A gentleman is far from being a cook. That's just a matter of benevolence, and it has nothing to do with you and me eating here."

Tang Yin was not so formal.

Although this way of eating is a bit different from the previous mode of waiting for others to prepare it and serving it, but it can't be said that it was cooked by myself, even if it is... that's okay, who made this thing so good eat.

Whether he is a gentleman or not.
