Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 203~

"I can't, I was watching from the sidelines when the master was cooking, how could such a problem arise?"

Dazui hurriedly opened his mouth and said.

Zhuge Kongfang's original smiling face slowly regained his composure, and he stepped forward and said, "Disciple, let me give it a try!"

Qingfeng hurried forward, trying to stop his master, but was stopped by Zhuge Kongfang.

Seeing this scene, Tong Xiangyu quickly grabbed Li Dazui, pulled him aside and asked, "Why didn't you taste the food before serving?"

Li Dazui scratched his head when he heard the words, he thought that his chef was a famous chef, so he ignored the step of tasting the dishes before serving them.

He was about to explain the situation, but suddenly remembered how could his master make mistakes?He has worked in the palace for most of his life.

When the two hid aside to talk, Zhuge Kongfang also picked up the lion's head, put it in his mouth and tasted it for a while, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with this dish!"

Bai Zhantang watched Zhuge Kongfang swallow the dish directly, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, but he knew how salty the dish was.

Bai Zhantang couldn't help but said: "Old man, don't you feel a little bit salty?"

Everyone also felt strange at this time, Zhuge Chef's reaction was not quite right.

Zhuge Kongfang shook his head with a smile. After tasting the dishes, he restored his smiling face just now.

In his taste, the taste of this dish is just right, and there is no problem of wrong dosage.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Zhang Chen touched his chin and said suddenly, "Mr., don't you know if we can take a look at your recipe?"

"master!"

Li Dazui called Zhuge Kongfang.

He was afraid that Zhang Chen's request would offend his master, so he wanted to inform him.

Zhuge Kongfang took out the menu from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Holding the recipe in his hand, Zhang Chen looked at the curious eyes of the crowd, pondered for a while and then said, "It's the most convenient way for everyone to do this together. I don't know what Mr. Zhuge thinks?"

Zhuge Kongfang waved his hand, signaling Zhang Chen to speak directly.

Zhang Chen opened the menu and read it out one by one from top to bottom. When the ingredients were read, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

"Here, three spoons of salt?"

After Zhang Chen finished reading, everyone still couldn't help but say in surprise.

Afterwards, Bai Zhantang said affirmatively, "I'll just say it!"

Zhuge Kongfang asked suspiciously: "Is there a problem with this dosage?"

Tong Xiangyu was full of doubts. He now had doubts about the identity of the God of Cookery, but what Zhang Chen said before made her a little hesitant.

Afterwards, Tong Xiangyu yelled at Li Dazui angrily: "Usually I hate to have to add salt when cooking, but today is a good thing, I wish we could eat salt as a dish."

Tong Xiangyu's words meant something.

Everyone silently glanced at Zhuge Kongfang, but Li Dazui said aggrievedly: "Today, the master is in charge of cooking, and he cooks, so there is no room for me to speak.

Moreover, I thought it was a unique skill of the master, and I couldn't read, so I didn't know that the recipe said three spoons. "

Tong Xiangyu was furious and pointed at Li Dazui.

Zhuge Kongfang had a serious face at this time, and he could hear everyone's discussion clearly.

"Qingfeng, what's going on?"

Zhuge Kongfang remembered the past, especially some actions of his own children, which seemed to make him suspicious now.

Qingfeng sighed, knowing that the truth she wanted to hide could not be kept.

"Master and the others didn't lie, you put too much salt in these dishes! You didn't taste the specific problem because your sense of taste has seriously degraded"

Qingfeng's words made everyone suddenly realize, and only this reason can explain why Zhuge Kongfang said there is no problem just now.

Zhuge Kongfang paused, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but said, "The sense of taste has deteriorated?"

Qingfeng let out a long sigh, then nodded heavily.

Tong Xiangyu said suspiciously: "Your husband has been the imperial cook for most of his life, can't the first emperor eat the same dishes?"

Bai Zhantang seemed to have discovered the truth, he gnawed his finger and said with affirmation: "If this is the case, the late emperor must also be a very talkative person, otherwise he would not have favored your master so much."

Qingfeng shook his head, and explained: "The reason why my master's sense of taste has deteriorated is because he was poisoned by a test dish for the late emperor, and his sense of taste has been continuously lost since then.

These things were all said by the father-in-laws in the imperial dining room after leaving the palace. "

Zhuge Kong's face changed, and he sat slumped on the long table and couldn't help but said: "Impossible, the imperial physician clearly said that there would be no sequelae, and after that, the first emperor only ate the dishes I cooked alone."

For a moment, everyone was shocked. This is a court secret.

Qingfeng said with a serious expression: "I heard from Zhao Yuchu that you saved the life of the first emperor when you were poisoned in a dish, and the first emperor quickly summoned the imperial physician. After the imperial physician rescued you, the imperial physician informed His Majesty of the sequelae.

It is precisely because of this that the first emperor bestowed you with gratitude for your life-saving grace. However, the first emperor told the insiders to shut up and not let you know about these things. "

Zhuge Kongfang pointed to Qingfeng and said: "This is nonsense, how could the first emperor do that!"

Qingfeng couldn't help but continue to say: "I didn't believe it at first, but since the emperor's day, you left the palace and the imperial dining room, and those people who were jealous of you told me about this.

Also, after the first day, your sense of taste starts to get worse, and you can only taste the taste of stronger dishes.

However, I dare not tell you these things. I know Master, what a proud person you are, how could you accept yourself like this.

After leaving the palace, I have been by your side all the time for so many years. What I am afraid of is that your reputation will be ruined. "

Qingfeng said in a deep and earnest manner.

Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect that there would be such a twists and turns in the story. It's really rare for this kind of thing to happen in the royal family.

Tong Xiangyu couldn't help admiring: "You did nothing wrong, I just found out that you are really a good apprentice!"

Zhuge Kongfang was silent, although Qingfeng's actions were a bit self-deceiving, but he did it for his own consideration. What reason did he have to blame this loyal apprentice?

"Hey..., what a touching story! Whether it is Mr. Zhuge's rescue or the actions of the late emperor, they all reflect friendship."

Bai Zhantang said with a sigh.

Everyone looked sideways, and Bai Zhantang then explained: "I'm feeling sorry for the friendship between Mr. Zhuge and the late emperor!"

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that according to what Qingfeng said just now, the former emperor was so affectionate and righteous.

At this time, Zhuge Kongfang also remembered the past in his mind, and was grateful for the kindness of the emperor himself in the past.

　Thanks for the support!
