Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"All the students in the palace test, how can you sumo wrestle in front of His Majesty?" Concubine Di shook her head, "If that's the case, he would have been beheaded a long time ago."

"My lady, it was the first emperor who made them sumo."

Concubine Di looked at Defang and blinked, "The first emperor?"

"En." Defang nodded, "My lady, I'll tell you slowly when I go to Changqing Tower."

The four of Defang came to Changqing Building, sat in a relatively quiet place on the second floor, ordered a table of good food, and Baili poured wine for Defang Concubine Di, "Master, Miss Di, please use it."

"Baili" Defang said, "The dishes on this table are all prepared for you."

"Huh? For... small ones?"

"Yes, you are brave enough to take a seat that no one dares to take, so these are all rewards for you." Defang got up and poured wine for Baili

"Come on, Baili, let me toast you."

"Small ones dare not, young master, young ones can't bear it."

"You have to accept it, and you have to finish all of these." Defang held up a glass, "Baili, drink."

"Thank you, my lord... my little one... drink..." Baili drank the wine, "My lord, my little one won't let you down."

"Okay, my Baili chief manager must be the best, hehehe"

At this time, a large group of people gathered under the restaurant. Defang and the others heard many voices and looked down. They saw a large group of people forming a semicircle in front of the restaurant gate, with a large wooden table in the middle. There was a large piece of meat and two axes, and a man stood in front of him with a seven or eight-year-old child, only to hear the man say, "Everyone, this is Wang Ge, the second chef of Changqing Building, who is in charge of handling all kinds of meat. , some customers said that the meat dishes of our Changqing Building taste very good, but I don’t know why, I can tell you that apart from the secret ingredients of the chef, the key is the skill of the knife. Do you know why? "

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know, and each Wang smiled, "Because the pieces of meat I cut out are the same size, and the depth of the knife cut is moderate, no matter whether it has tendons or bones, and it doesn't matter how fat or thin. Each knife, even the meat is not a problem, the chef cooks it all, the flavor all goes into the meat, so this meat dish is so delicious."

"Can you carve meat?" said a spectator

"Carving flowers?" Wang Ge said, "That's nothing, I have a unique skill of chopping meat with two axes, but some customers don't believe it, so the master asked me to show it to everyone in front of Changqing Building today."

"Use an ax?" A spectator pointed to the wooden table, "Then don't take this table, the meat is not full of wooden dregs."

"Guest officer, if you don't use a wooden table, there won't be wood dregs." Wang Ge pulled the child next to him, "This is the boy Wang Hui. Today I will use his back to make a wooden plank, and use a double axe to smash the table. minced meat into a paste."

Ke'er, who was lying on the side of the railing on the second floor, said, "Master, girl, he said he wants to chop meat off his son?"

Defang nodded, "I guess so."

"My lord, that's an axe. Let alone a child's back, even if he is wearing armor, he can't do it a few times."

"Yeah, but take a look first."

The following Wang Ge took off the boy's coat, let him lie on the wooden table, then put a large piece of skinless meat on his back, picked up two big axes and circled them in his hands a few times, and suddenly used Picking up a small wooden stake by the table with his feet, he raised his ax to chop it, and there was a click, and the stake was split into two halves. At this moment, the surrounding spectators fell silent. The blade scratched the meat and said, "Everyone, you have to watch carefully."
