The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 80 Warm taste

Dongmenli's hand holding the spoon stopped in mid-air, and his whole body froze!
"It's so warm..."

He lowered his head, a tear fell from his eye socket.

"My mother is physically weak. Every month, I will cook a pot of red dates and black-bone chicken soup. When I was young, I was not sensible, and I always had to compete with my mother for a drink. The warm feeling of this soup is like mother's embrace, which is reassuring."

He looked down at the soup bowl in his hand, and the mist in his eyes blurred his vision.

"Later, my mother died of illness, and I stewed his favorite nourishing soup. There were all kinds of it, but she couldn't taste it anymore..."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the spoon and continued to drink one mouthful after another, until the whole pot of soup was finished, he smiled contentedly.

"Doctor Xia, the soup you made...is very warm. Thank you for reminding me of the original intention of making soup and letting me know what the taste of happiness and love is. This is what I have always wanted to pursue!"

He put down the empty bowl, looked at Xia Jin, and said sincerely:

"Doctor Xia, I lost!"

He is convinced!
Xia Jin looked at Lao Lao who was moved to the side and wiped his tears. This guy's eyelids are quite thin.

But no matter what, she finally got the spices she wanted, which solved the urgent need of the God of Food Hall!
Dongmenli ordered someone to pack the spices, which was a big basket, more than the spices they auctioned.

This is obviously much more than what Dongmenli promised Xia Jin.

"Chef Xia, can I come over often in the future and ask you about cooking?" Dongmenli asked.

These words only made the imperial cooks who helped pack the package dumbfounded. Dongmenli was arrogant and arrogant, and treated everyone in his own way, even if the other party was the emperor, he was never used to it.

Today, he said that he was sick and didn't want to cook, and the emperor couldn't do anything about it. In short, his personality was casual and weird.

It is the first time to use honorifics and ask for advice actively!
"I'm in the God of Food Hall, if the chef of the East Gate wants to come, welcome anytime!" Xia Jin said.

"Shishentang, I've made a note!" Dongmenli nodded.

After packing the spices, Xia Jin and Lao Lao returned the same way, and Lao Lao humbly asked for advice along the way.

This is the first time I have met an old man who is so old and has such a strong desire to learn.

Xia Jin briefly talked about the recipe and how to control the temperature of the stew. Lao Lao listened carefully until he was interrupted by a loud noise when he passed a corner.

They had just walked out of the imperial kitchen, and the road needed to bypass a small garden. At this moment, beside the rockery in the garden, several eunuchs were beating up a young eunuch.

The beaten eunuch fell to the ground, holding his head and motionless.

"Trash, see if I don't beat you to death today!"

The flesh-faced eunuch kicked his lower abdomen fiercely, causing him to vomit in pain, but the eunuch didn't stop, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at his head.

"Stop!" Xia Jin walked over.

"There are so many of you, what are you doing bullying a little eunuch!" Xia Jin detested bullying the weak.

She's not a bad person, she just looks uncomfortable.

If it's really that ruthless, how powerful it is, go single-handedly against the big guy!Isn't it more challenging?

Bullying people who are weaker than herself, in her opinion, is no different from being a coward!
"Our family advises you, don't meddle in other people's business!" The eunuch raised his orchid finger and glared at Xia Jin viciously.

Xia Jin folded her arms around her chest, "I'll leave it alone, can you do that?"

Another eunuch beside him whispered in his ear, "He was invited by the chef of Dongmen!"

Hearing this, the eunuch twitched his lips.

"It was just a misunderstanding!" Then he turned around and ran away with someone!
Xia Jin walked over, looked at the little eunuch who was still curled up on the ground protecting his head, took out a wound ointment from the cloth bag and handed it to him.

This is made by Xia Jin herself, it can treat burns and all kinds of trauma, it is a must for a chef, so Xia Jin will carry it with her.

The little eunuch looked at the medicine bottle that Xia Jin handed over. This medicine bottle was a flat ceramic bottle, covered with ice cracks, and a peach blossom was painted on the lid, which was extremely delicate.

He didn't pick it up, but changed from curled up on the ground to kneeling and bowing his head.

Seeing that he was submissive, Xia Jin had no choice but to grab his hand and stuff the medicine bottle into his palm.

The eunuch raised his head, Xia Jin saw his face clearly.

This little eunuch, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, has a pair of big eyes, black and white, thick eyelashes are upturned, with a length and curvature that all girls envy, a tall nose and a lip that is neither thin nor thin. Thick, shiny and full.

This small and fresh appearance, coupled with this weak and pitiful spirit, if placed in modern times, I don't know how many sisters' hearts will be captured.

In short, this look and feel is the type of little white rabbit brother who can inspire sisters to protect.

Such a cute little eunuch was beaten like this.

Xia Jin felt a little distressed for a while, after all, it's about face control, it feels like when you saw a perfect work of art, someone scratched the paint off with a knife.

"What's your name?" Xia Jin asked.

"I don't have a name, everyone calls me a little slave." The boy showed his wrist, with the word "servant" branded on it with a soldering iron.

Xia Jin frowned, this word is really dazzling!
"Who doesn't have a name, why don't I pick one for you! It's called...Wen Yu!"

"Sounds like a noble feeling, I'm not worthy of my humble status." The boy lowered his head with a timid expression on his face.

Xia Jin held his face and patted it lightly, "You are so good-looking, even more beautiful than the pure and flawless suet white jade, this name suits you best!"

Wen Yu froze in place, staring blankly at Xia Jin, a light seemed to flash in those big black and white eyes.

Xia Jin stood up and looked at the sky.

"Wen Yu, I have to go. By the way, if they dare to bully you again next time, you should take all the things you can defend yourself and fight back, then run to a crowded place and shout as loudly as possible. They have to weigh it next time, whether they can bear the consequences of being punished by their father-in-law for fighting!"

"Chef Xia, we should go!" Liao Lao who was standing outside the garden reminded.

Xia Jin waved at Wen Yu, turned around and walked out.

"This kind of thing often happens in the palace. In fact, after watching it a few times, you will get used to it." Lao Lao said.

"At least I saw it, so I can't just ignore it." Xia Jin said.

Lao Lao laughed, "Chef Xia is also a hero."

"also?"

"Actually, the head chef of Dongmen will often help these little eunuchs who are being bullied. Don't look at others as being unreasonable. In fact, he is warm-hearted. Otherwise, the old man would not get close to him, and he would not be at ease. Give him the position of chef." Lao Lao said.

Xia Jin raised her eyebrows, "You can't judge by appearance~"

Liao Lao stroked his beard and laughed, "Isn't it~"

"By the way, Chef Xia will participate in the annual food festival in three months' time!"
