Zhenguan's prosperity and fame

Chapter 33

"Ma'am, Lord Fang asked the kitchen for some chickens, and then ordered the cook to cook there. It's very interesting. Do you want to go and see?"

Not long after Fang Chen left, Qin Shi sent Yun'er over to check the situation because she was worried.

Qin shook her head, but instead asked Qin Huaiyu to help.

"I'll tell you, you can do whatever the young master says. How can there be so much nonsense!"

In the back kitchen, Fang Chen pointed at the two cooks in the Duke's mansion and yelled loudly.

Well, let you cook a dish, it’s not right, it’s not right, isn’t it sick?I've gotten too used to you, so you can do whatever the Lord tells you to do!
As soon as Qin Huaiyu walked to the door, he was startled out of fright, and Rompy started to piss again.

Poking his head and looking in, Fang Chen almost rode on those two cooks to do his best.

"Whatever you want to see, go in if you want!"

Seeing Qin Huaiyu from the corner of the eye, Fang Chen was even more upset, why is the young master acting like a villain, don't learn if you have the skills!

Seeing that the little father-in-law was being trained to lose his temper by this guy, the two cooks had no choice but to admit it and start working according to Fang Chen's instructions.

Qin Huaiyu glared fiercely at Fang Chen, the guy who sued him for blackness, if he couldn't beat him, he would have died a long time ago.
It was strange to say that he was also a martial arts student, but he was still not Fang Chen's opponent, and he didn't know why.

Once asked Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong said with a smile, "That brat stays with the refugees every day, if he doesn't have any skills, he might starve to death."

"Fang Chen, can you, don't complain to my mother in the future?"

Fang Chen snorted coldly, since I was in school, I have always been the picket member in my class, so many people ran away when they saw me!A good assistant to the teacher, but a thorn in the side of the bad boy.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile wryly, maybe when I was young, I was too eager to be noticed and recognized by others, right?

"Okay, I see."

For Fang Chen's abnormal reaction, Qin Huaiyu was very frightened, if this rascal passed out again, his father would have to chop him with a knife.

"No, I mean. Well, forget it, as long as you are happy."

Thousands of words finally come together to say you are happy, which shows how worried Qin Huaiyu is about Fang Chen's problems, right?

From his parents, he also had a general understanding of Fang Chen.

First, his background is extraordinary, but he was not born into a great family;
Second, he has never met his biological parents, and has been living with his adoptive mother;

Third, he dared to kill, and he could establish prestige among the refugees.
There is a kind of admiration, you know, Fang Chen can't do any of the things he did.

"Fang Chen, what are you doing?"

Looking at the "work" of the two cooks, the young man still couldn't help being curious.

Fang Chen smiled mysteriously, "Eat!"

"Eat? What to eat?"

Fang Chen patted Qin Huaiyu's shoulder, "Wait at ease, it will be fine in a while."

do what?Fang Chen already had a plan in mind, the first is the lotus leaf chicken, remember, it is the lotus leaf chicken, not the beggar chicken.

The lotus leaf chicken is an improved version of the beggar chicken. At that time, Fang Chen had nothing to do. Apart from novels, Fang Chen studied most was cooking.

Another dish is those lotus roots.

Boil it directly in boiling water, let it cool and slice it, and then add some ingredients.

Among the cold dishes in Shanxi, lotus root slices are very popular.

One bite, it is crispy and delicious, but unfortunately there is no chili here, otherwise it would be better.

The lotus leaf chicken is a bit more troublesome. Each chicken is accompanied by a lotus leaf. After the seasoning is prepared, it is fried and then roasted in the pan.

Before frying, the whole chicken is boiled three times in honey water and drained.Putting the oil on the pot, considering the lack of spices in the Tang Dynasty, I only got some star anise leaves, and a jar of rice wine that I can't name.

Put the sugar in the pot, add spices and rice wine to make a soup, burn it out and let it cool.Put the whole chicken in it and pour the soup continuously.Marinate for about half an hour
Salt paste is prepared with salt and water, the chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves, the whole lotus leaf is wrapped with salt paste, and then baked slowly on the fire.

Wait for another hour, knock it open with a mallet, and the fragrance will waft out instantly.

"Okay, it smells so good"

Among the scents, the most attractive one is the smell of Fang Chen's secret soup. In an instant, Qin Huaiyu was captured, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.

"Snapped!"

"What are you doing?"

Qin Huaiyu clutched the back of his hands, his face full of grievances.

Fang Chen snorted, called a girl, put the chicken that was prepared for the first time on a plate, and asked her to send it to his wife.

Qin Huaiyu stuck out his tongue, thinking, it looks like he was wrong.

Although you can't get the first one, there is no problem with the second one, right?

"Snapped!"

"what happened again?"

The backs of his hands were red, and the rogue didn't say he had to hold back a little strength when he fought.

Fang Chen pointed to the backyard, "Your father is back, why don't you send him there?"

Qin Huaiyu patted his head, picked it up and walked back.

After wasting so much time, Qin Qiong would have returned long ago.

But after Qin Qiong entered the palace, he reported the matter to Li Shimin.

It was difficult for Li Shimin to make a decision alone, and he was even a little confused.

"Nutrition fee? What the hell?"

Qin Qiong's face was full of embarrassment, "The old minister thought that it was...that's why he wanted to ask Chai Shao for money."

Li Shimin's eyes widened, "Why didn't he ask you for it?"

"The veteran is also a little curious, I don't know why and why."

Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid Fang Chen still regards Chai Shao as a cheap "father".
As soon as Empress Changsun heard that Qin Qiong had entered the palace, she knew that it must have something to do with Yu'er, so she hurried over, but saw the monarch and his ministers staring at each other.

After asking the reason, Empress Changsun also widened her eyes, "Xiao Yuer said that she will never enter Chang'an again?"

The three of them together, I'm afraid there is something wrong with being locked up. After all, no matter how much Qin Qiong likes a child, it is impossible to imprison him in the mansion. Let him not go out.

"Call Chai Shao!"

Chai Shao has been having a headache these days, being called into the palace every now and then, it was just confirmed yesterday that the little prince is coming to his house, and he is worrying about how to entertain him.

But who knows that not long after, another servant from the palace came to interpret.

"Eunuch Liu, I don't know why His Majesty called me?"

Liu Sancheng silently accepted the silver from Chai Shao, and said with a smile: "This old servant only knows that Duke Yi is also in the palace."

Chai Shao immediately showed a worried expression on his face, "Eunuch, is it his business again?"

Liu Sancheng nodded first, then shook his head, "My son-in-law, please, your majesty is still waiting for the old slave to return to his life."

"Hey" everything is not going well this year!

Following the servant, Chai Shao hurried to the palace, but as soon as he entered the palace, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The three eyes stared at him fiercely, no one was afraid, especially two of them were the current emperor and empress.

"Your Majesty, empress, the old minister is late, please make amends."

Li Shimin waved his hand indifferently, asked Chai Shao to come forward, and asked, "My son-in-law, do you know that my brat has already regarded you as his father!"

This guy was so frightened by Chai Shao, he knelt on the ground and only dared to say that the old minister was at fault, that the old minister deserved to die, and he didn't even dare to ask what happened.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong pulled him up and told what happened. Chai Shao wiped his cold sweat, bowed his head and dared not say anything.

Li Shimin was a little upset seeing him like that, and snorted coldly, "Say, what can be done about this?"

Qin Qiong looked at the shoes, and Chai Shao looked at the trousers, but there was no answer. They dared not and couldn't afford to participate in royal affairs.

If it is light, the head will be moved, and if it is serious, the whole family will be executed.

The scene was silent for a while, which made people very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Empress Changsun spoke up and relieved the two of them, "Your Majesty, in terms of courtiers and concubines, I'm afraid that this matter cannot be blamed on Prince Chai and Duke Yi."

Li Shimin's eyes are full of searching meaning, I don't know why the queen said that.

Empress Changsun half-smiled, "Don't forget, sister Pingyang has raised him for many years."

Li Shimin was at a loss for words, so Chai Shao could really be Fang Chen's father!

Chai Shao lowered his head, and he could hear the empress Changsun's resentment both inside and outside the words. He really can't blame him for this matter!

"Hey, Pingyang, you have caused me a lot of trouble."

Pingyang conspired with Li Yuan to directly erase the identity of Li Shimin's child, which was basically the same as betrayal, and even took him away to raise him.If it wasn't for Pingyang's death, the child had strayed into the refugee group and came to Chang'an. I don't know when Li Shimin and his wife will find him!
She was originally a biological sister, but she committed a betrayal, so it's not bad if Li Shimin doesn't hate her.

"My son-in-law, you will go to the Duke of Yi's mansion tomorrow. I don't want you to have any relationship with Yu'er that is not a relationship between a monarch and a minister. Do you understand?"

"promise!"

"Also, bring more money!"

Chai Shao left with question marks in his head, what does His Majesty mean?Bring extra money?
