Chapter 1171 Crusade
"Don't be impatient, everyone. I think everyone must have misunderstood Mr. Bai's words. He, he has been serving in front of the imperial court, and he is the one who bathes in the emperor's favor. How could he have such a heart of disobedience? Please forgive me." cool down."

Lin Yuan's words were actually very reluctant, and her face showed a bit of embarrassment and entanglement just right. From the eyes of the onlookers, she explained it to everyone in order to take Mr. Bai's face into consideration.

All of a sudden, everyone was full of praise for Lin Yuan, and they all unanimously remembered the original intention of Bai Jing and the others to come to the cave, as if they were here to make trouble.

People come to make trouble, but Lin Yuan repays grievances with kindness. Such a woman is really broad-minded and admirable!

In contrast, looking at Bai Jing and his group, all the admiration for the imperial chef before has disappeared unconsciously, replaced by contempt and disdain for them, even the powder on Bai Jing's face Some people pointed out that it was a joke.

Seeing that everyone's mood improved a lot, Lin Yuan showed a relieved smile on her face, and turned around to persuade Bai Jing in a low voice. The gentle and persuasive tone was very helpful to hear.

"Mr. Bai, I also know that they are ordinary people with no experience, and they certainly don't have the blessing to enjoy your craftsmanship. It's just that you were really impulsive just now, and there are some things that we can talk about ourselves. You can't say it in front of everyone!"

At first, Bai Jing was a little annoyed by Lin Yuan's accusation, but after hearing her say "our own people", no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't refute Lin Yuan's face at this time.

After all, because of Lin Yuan's identity, he could ignore the third prince behind Lin Yuan, but he also had to look at the face of the General's Mansion.

Not to mention him, even his backer, the Second Prince, dare not blatantly offend the General's Mansion!
"What the princess said is that I was impulsive just now and said something that shouldn't be said. But I don't have any disrespect to the late emperor in my heart. I hope the princess understands."

Bai Jing has been in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knows how serious the big hats those scholars have put on him just now, and after hearing Lin Yuan's heart-to-heart confession, he followed her words to please her a few words.

Liang Liqin, Qian Hai and the others also wanted to understand the seriousness of the matter at this time, and followed Bai Jing to speak kindly to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was amused in her heart, thought secretly, and then continued to persuade: "Of course I understand Mr. Bai's intentions, but they don't understand. How about this? Since this incident was caused by a dish, why don't we Just use this dish to resolve it! As the saying goes, you need someone to tie the bell, I wonder if Mr. Bai can agree?"

In a few words, Lin Yuan brought the conversation back to Bai Jing's failed four-happiness bag.

Bai Jing knows his cooking skills very well, so he naturally knows what this dish tastes like, but he really doesn't want them to taste it from the bottom of his heart.

But now that the facts have turned out like this, it is impossible not to agree.

What's more, he just heard about it from his apprentice. In fact, before the competition, the apprentice had already reminded him that this dish was going to be tasted by the common people, and even asked him if he agreed.

It wasn't until this time that Bai Jing remembered that after he came back from picking the ingredients from the backyard, the apprentice seemed to have said something to him, but he didn't care about something at the time, and just nodded perfunctorily.

It turned out that the apprentice was telling him this!
If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't have been absent-minded at the beginning, alas!
But it was too late to say anything now, Bai Jing looked helpless, looking at the menacing scholars who obviously didn't want to let go, cold sweat broke out layer after layer on his forehead.

"Okay, just as the princess said."

Bai Jing gritted his teeth, he would rather lose face than lose his life!

At worst, I'll go to the second prince's mansion to call for someone to beat up these hateful scholars!
Liang Liqin also added fuel to the side to relieve his anger: "Master should have agreed a long time ago. They are just a few pariahs. Where have they eaten any good food? Let them also taste Master's handicrafts and see what an imperial chef is!"

Bai Jing really wanted to slap his apprentice to death at this time, but after thinking about it, it was his own fault. When he was in the imperial dining room, relying on the support of the second prince behind him, he hadn't been in charge for a long time. If you don't go over, let this apprentice take action, and he only preaches beside him.

In the end, Liang Liqin didn't even know what his master's cooking skills were. Anyway, he apprenticed because he valued Bai Jing's identity, not cooking skills, so he didn't study it deeply.

Shaking his head annoyedly, Bai Jing's complexion turned even paler, and he was really "white and clean" at this time.

Although Bai Jing had already let everyone taste his four happy bags, but this time it was the turn of the common people not to agree, and all kinds of sour and mocking remarks kept coming and going.

"Hey, let's eat? We don't have such a big face! We are pariahs, how can we afford to eat the dishes made by the royal chef?"

"This thing looks too delicate, I don't dare to eat it. I, my life is cheap, I am suitable for eating bran swallowing vegetables. If I eat this kind of thing and I feel uncomfortable for a while, I will have a stomachache, so what? Do you want to do it? Could it be that you still go to Master Yuchu to ask for money for medical treatment?"

"Tsk tsk, I advise you, it's better to pay for medical treatment and buy medicine yourself. The royal chef is very busy, so there is no time to talk to you! Besides, if you, a lowly bastard, offend the lord, it will be light to beat you up." !"

"Oh, yes, today we offended Mr. Yuchu, what if we get beaten up? No, no, I'd better leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble for myself later!"

A few leaders talked and talked, and brought the topic of tasting vegetables to beating, which made Bai Jing's neck turn red.

He was thinking of finding someone to take revenge on those scholars just now, but now someone brought it up, so can he still beat them up?

Of course not, isn't this telling everyone that he is taking private revenge?

After being pissed off, but still unable to retaliate, Bai Jing was more aggrieved as much as he felt aggrieved, and he was so angry that he clenched his hands together tightly.

The same goes for Liang Liqin and the others. They followed Bai Jing and ran rampant in the imperial dining room for so long. How could they have suffered such a useless attitude?One by one, blue veins burst out on the foreheads, which showed that he was out of breath and could not bear it.

"Don't be shameless!"

Liang Liqin gritted his teeth and squeezed out such a sentence, but fortunately he was not stupid enough to shout it out loudly, so only Lin Yuan and a few people who were close to him listened to it. arrive.

Lin Yuan hurriedly signaled him to be calm and not to be impatient, and personally came forward to mediate them, and what she said showed her virtuousness and generosity.

"Everyone is thinking too much. Mr. Bai seems to be a very lenient person. How could he do that kind of private revenge? Don't worry, just relax. I have tasted it just now. Mister's four happy bags, um, taste very good! Why don't you all come and taste it? This royal chef's craftsmanship is not available to ordinary people! Are you sure you want to miss such a good opportunity?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan secretly winked at several people in the crowd, and sure enough, several people responded first.

"Since Princess Pingxi guaranteed it, let's just trust them for now! Anyway, there are so many people here to testify, if anyone of us suffers an unreasonable disaster afterwards, then we will all go to the gate of the palace to make a fuss. I want to see if His Majesty the Emperor will condone this vicious cook!"

"Yes, everyone, relax, just eat, not only eat, but also comment and comment fairly. Let's see how good the cooks in the palace are compared with our private chefs?"

After a few people made a fuss, even the master chef who had been shouting before stopped shouting, and directly changed to the cook, and shopkeeper Liu and the others hooked their lips in a funny way.

Lin Yuan was even more amused seeing how Bai Jing and the others were so distressed and angry that they dared not speak out. After the palace banquet that day, Lin Yuan sent someone to inquire about Bai Jing's behavior in the imperial dining room. Domineering things.

If he can be beaten back today, he deserves it.

In fact, she is not worried that accidents will happen to the people onlookers. After all, Bai Jing has been in the palace for many years. Even though he is domineering, he is not stupid. Naturally, he knows that no one will have an accident today, otherwise, he will be the first to be suspected. .

So after he went back, not only could he not do anything, but he also had to restrain the people under his command not to do evil, and he had to burn incense and pray to Buddha every day to pray that all these people would be safe and healthy.

Don't say it's an injury, it's best not to get involved with a cold and cough.

With Lin Yuan in the middle, and two young men who took the lead in eating, many people immediately expressed their willingness to try Bai Jing's cooking skills, and kept saying that although Bai Jing didn't treat them very well, They will definitely evaluate it impartially.

Lin Yuan felt amused in her heart when she heard what they said. Even if she made a fair evaluation, she believed that she would not be disappointed.

Bai Jing didn't make many dishes on a plate, not to mention the troublesome four-lucky bags, so there were only ten small and exquisite four-lucky bags on this plate according to the custom of placing imperial meals in the palace.

Before Lin Yuan tasted one, two scholars each picked up one, and two young men each picked up one, and the remaining five were snatched away by the quick-handed commoners.

Giving the dishes he cooked to these untouchables, Bai Jing felt that his own daughter was being bullied, and he was really unhappy.

Therefore, he didn't want to see the embarrassment of the common people gobbling up their food at all, so he turned his face away and sat on a stool beside him to drink tea.

However, before a cup of tea was served, Bai Jing was startled by the sighs of the people.

"Oh! Why is this food so unpalatable! Whether it's salty or not, it's tasteless at all!"

"Not only is it tasteless, don't you think that when the several vegetables in these four happy bags are mixed and eaten together, tsk tsk, how should I put it, it feels like eating bran-swallowed vegetables!"

"Well, does His Majesty eat this all day long? The emperor is too pitiful..."

"Don't talk nonsense! What's pitiful? Your Majesty calls it thrift. Hasn't Your Majesty always advocated thrift? Of course it has to start with eating!"

"Oh, that's right, it's just being diligent and thrifty. It's just that His Majesty manages a lot of things every day, yet he still eats so...so plainly, it really makes people feel distressed!"

As he said that, the little old man who had sympathized with His Majesty before deliberately squeezed out a few tears, as if he cared about His Majesty.

Listening to what he said, Lin Yuan curled her lips inwardly. Isn't the old emperor just pitiful? He was busy with government affairs all day long. Finally, when it was time to eat, what did he eat?Is it the dishes made by people like Bai Jing?

Ugh!
She sighed in her heart, no wonder the emperors of all dynasties didn't live very long. They live in a high-intensity life every day, and they still have to eat bland and non-nutritious meals delivered by the imperial dining room. It's no wonder they can live long !

Snapped!
A crisp and loud applause interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts, and also ended the common people's discussion.

"Presumptuous! What are you guys who dare to talk about His Majesty without saying anything? How daring!"

Bai Jing threw the teacup in his hand aside, and stood up from the stool. He didn't know whether he was angry at what these people said about His Majesty, or because they said that his food was not tasty.

In short, his face was already distorted by anger, and even the thin layer of makeup fell off due to the violent shaking of the muscles on his face.

"Sir, don't be angry, calm down quickly..."

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes, and just about to say a few words of comfort, she was overwhelmed by the words of the people who tasted the four happy bags.

"What do you mean by discussing His Majesty? Where are we discussing Your Majesty! I said Master Yuchu, don't think that you are a person in the palace and you can deceive us ordinary people. I will live with you!"

"That's right, why should Lord Bai be angry with the ignorant people? If you have something to say, why not discuss it with me? I'm not talented. I have studied for a few years. Although I don't understand the general principles, I still understand the people talking about the emperor. Some. From my point of view, they were not just talking, at least they have nothing to do with Mr. Bai's disrespect to the late emperor."

The few scholars who accused Bai Jing of being disrespectful to Emperor Kaizu all shook their heads and spoke, and after a few simple words, Bai Jing was immediately speechless.

Bai Jing shook his sleeves angrily, saying that the mouth of a speaker is the most annoying thing, and today he has understood that a scholar can speak well.

Liang Liqin, Qian Hai and the others had already ducked their heads and hid aside. The few of them just depended on their connections at home and had never studied. How could they confront scholars?

Lin Yuan lowered her eyes and lightly rolled her sleeves. She didn't care about the critics of the scholars at all, but she was very funny in her heart. She only thought that these scholars were really good, and hoped that they would say more. good.

"Okay, looking at Master Bai's appearance, it is obvious that he has already realized his fault. Since this is the case, we will not make too much fuss about these two sentences, lest others see us and say that we are bullying others."

As for the bullying, the scholar didn't say it clearly, but the common people all heard it, so it's not just bullying Bai Jing and others who are uneducated!
Immediately, several people laughed unkindly, laughing until Bai Jing and Liang Liqin's faces turned red and white, and they were very ashamed.

"In this case, let's talk about Master Bai's dish! Tsk tsk, to be honest, although the student intends to say something nice to you, your food, hiss, is really too hard to swallow. The skin is tough But thick, the fillings are random, and the feeling of eating it in the mouth is like a very hungry person randomly grabbing a handful of vegetable leaves in the vegetable field and stuffing them into his mouth."

Another scholar shook his head and continued, "It's not that the student was being rude to Master Bai, nor was he intentionally offending him. If the student dares to say that such a dish is thrown to beggars, I'm afraid..."

Originally, the scholar intended to say that even if he threw this thing to the dogs, the dogs would ignore it.

It’s just that the words were changed as soon as the words came to his lips. After all, Bai Jing was the imperial cook in the palace, and the meals he made were for the nobles in the palace. Too much.

"You, you, you all did it on purpose! You are against me on purpose. Even His Majesty says the food I cook is delicious. How could it be as unsavory as you said? You, you are the ones who seek personal revenge , Yes, revenge! You are taking revenge on me for calling you pariahs, so I won’t believe your words, I won’t believe them!”

With a chuckle, Lin Yuan covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief and smiled secretly. This Bai Jing is not really stupid, these people are indeed taking revenge on him.

It's just that their intention is not only revenge, this dish is indeed too unpalatable, they just exaggerated a little bit based on the facts.

After hearing Bai Jing's words, the scholar not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead: "Master Bai said that we are taking revenge, well, let's not talk, please go and ask some other people who have tasted this dish!"

Sure enough, the two scholars who had eaten the food all shut their mouths tightly, put their hands in their sleeves, and no one spoke.

But the mysterious smiles on their faces still made Bai Jing a little uneasy.

Liang Liqin also stammered at this time, not knowing what to do, since he became Bai Jing's apprentice, he had never tasted the dishes cooked by his master.

Not only that, he seldom even saw his master holding the spoon, and today he encouraged his master to show it, but he also wanted to see his master's skill with his own eyes.

But who would have thought that the final result would be like this.

Liang Liqin was dumbfounded, he didn't know whether he should speak up for Master or not.

While he was struggling, he suddenly felt two fiery eyes looking at him, he turned his head to look for it, and saw Gao Xuan.

Gao Xuan still had that calm expression on his face, but his bright eyes clearly showed disdain and sarcasm.

Liang Liqin was ashamed and angry, biting his lips tightly.

The two scholars stopped talking, but the other common people who ate the four happy bags spoke one after another.

"I think this dish is okay, similar to what my daughter-in-law cooks. It's just that there is a little less salt. It would be nice if there was more salt."

"Cut, my daughter-in-law's cooking is much more delicious than this. My daughter-in-law wouldn't waste things like this. You see, this is meat and vegetables, and they are mixed together. Who cooks like this?" ah!"

"It's nothing, why do I just think this dish is so ugly? Especially the black thing on top that looks like soy sauce but not soy sauce, tsk, why is this thing put on this little bun? What's the matter? use it?"

"You are stupid! Didn't you taste the bun without salt? The soy sauce is salt! Oh, yes, I remember that the cook seemed to taste a bun before adding the soy sauce. Could it be..."

"For sure! I saw it too. He put the sauce on it after tasting it. He must have put the sauce on it on purpose because he tasted that the dish was tasteless."

Although what the common people said was very vulgar, what they said was getting closer and closer to the truth. The more Bai Jing heard it, the more ugly his face became, and finally even his lips turned white.

Liang Liqin and Qian Hai wanted to defend him at first, but after listening to everyone's chatter and thinking about what they had just seen, their thoughts began to waver.

It seems that this is really the case!
Lin Yuan covered her lips with a handkerchief, and leaned back in the chair very comfortably.

Mammy strictly forbids such a sitting posture, but Lin Yuan is in a good mood today, so she doesn't think about it so much anymore.

"You, you all shut up! Shut up!"

Bai Jing was so angry that his lips trembled and his body wobbled a little.

But those common people were discussing enthusiastically, and no one was in the mood to pay attention to what he said.

"Hmph, that's how the imperial chef's craftsmanship is. I don't think it's as good as Dongtian's cook! I've eaten Dongtian's food before, and the four happy bags made by them are much more delicious than this imperial chef's!"

"Isn't the imperial chef not a human being? The imperial chef is also a human being. I heard that many imperial chefs are sent in by family members, and they may not necessarily be able to cook! I think this Master Bai may be like this!"

"Isn't it? There is a pork seller on our street. His wife's fourth grandmother's godson's good buddy's brother-in-law is the one who delivers meat to the palace. I heard that the imperial chefs pull out several times a day. There are leftovers from the car! Tsk tsk, think about it, if the food they cook is delicious, why are there so many left over?"

puff!
Shopkeeper Liu, Gao Xuan and the others laughed very unkindly. Who said that the leftovers in the palace appeared because they were too unpalatable?It's not like that at all, okay?
Obviously it was too serious a waste!

Seeing that everyone's discussion was almost over, Lin Yuan also spoke to stop it very appropriately.

"Everyone, Mr. Bai may be unwell today, and he didn't perform very well, so the dishes he made are not up to standard. Another day, another day, when he recovers, let's trouble him to make us the most delicious and delicious things. Okay? Let's break up today, let's break up!"

Although it was time to leave, the common people were still reluctant to leave, and continued to gather around the cave to watch the excitement of Bai Jing and the others.

"Princess, what are you going to do with these people? Just now they kept saying that the food in Dongtian is not good! You see, they have made your food dirty. They are so disrespectful. People whose cooking skills are still bad at home, you can't easily spare them!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly yelled, which surprised Lin Yuan.

Although she didn't see who the speaker was, Lin Yuan already knew who it was just by hearing the voice.

As soon as this person reminded them, the common people also remembered the brashness of Bai Jing and Liang Liqin before, and suddenly the crusade started again, even Zeng Daqi, who didn't turn his head very much, felt a burning pain on his face.

"This is..."

Lin Yuan put on a look of embarrassment, but glanced at Bai Jing and the others with ill intentions. Of course, she hadn't forgotten the insults these people had made to Dongtian, otherwise she wouldn't have spent so much time acting out such a scene. It's out.

"Let them apologize! It's really shameless to slander others for their poor craftsmanship! The food in Dongtian is much better than Bai Jing's craftsmanship, and he has the face to come and shout? Princess, you don't care about the large number of adults, we are in Dongtian The 'untouchables' who are used to eating will not agree!"

The familiar voice from before sounded again, Lin Yuan was amused in her heart, and took the opportunity to stare in the direction of the speaker while raising her hand to stroke her hair. Although she was staring, the smile in her eyes couldn't be contained no matter what.

Sure enough, as soon as this person finished speaking, the common people were furious and shouted in unison to ask Bai Jing and others to apologize. Judging by their posture, it was obvious that they would not be allowed to leave without an apology.

Bai Jing was already annoyed, but when he was threatened by the people, he was so angry that his eyes slanted, as if he had a stroke.

Liang Liqin had the most ghost ideas, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he moved to Bai Jing's side and whispered a few words of persuasion.

Although he didn't want to bow his head in front of Gao Xuan, but surrounded by so many people, and they accidentally said some unpleasant things before, if things got serious and attracted the second prince's political enemies, they would be unable to bear it. and left.

Bai Jing has a violent temper. Although he was very angry, he didn't think about it for a while, and refused to bow his head in a daze.

In the end, seeing that the people were really unwilling to disperse, they bowed their heads and made a bow to Lin Yuan under the tireless persuasion of Liang Liqin and Qian Hai, which was very perfunctory.

But Lin Yuan doesn't care about these things. Today's incident has already made Bai Jing lose face to her grandma's house. She has achieved her goal. Do she still care about an insincere apology?
"Are you satisfied now? Don't get out of the way!"

After Bai Jing bowed, he yelled at the common people fiercely, and squeezed out of the crowd first.

Liang Liqin and the others also wanted to keep up with the times, but shopkeeper Liu suddenly called out from behind: "Hey, the bill hasn't been paid yet!"

Liang Liqin shook his shoulders, and turned his head viciously: "Qin Shi, what are you doing so stupidly! You still don't pay!"

Qin Shi, who kept his head down and had no sense of presence, trembled, and hurried to dig out his pocket.

The voices of discussion and crusade from the common people continued one after another, until a few people fled in desperation and still pointed at their backbones and cursed.

 It rained all day and there was a power outage, so I finally finished writing before the review, thank God~
  Guess who is speaking in the crowd?If you guess right, there will be a prize, ho ho~
