Chapter 289 The Cook
When Fanyin saw the six cooks introduced by Zhong Xingyan, he couldn't express how he felt.

Except for one thin man, the other five were tall and stout, with tense faces, they didn't look like cooks at all?

"Are you sure you brought the cook?" Fanyin asked in a very small voice next to Zhong Xingyan's ear, still looking at the five people.

Zhong Xingyan nodded immediately, "Indeed, aren't all cooks fat?"

"That's a smiling fat man. The faces of these guys don't look like they're cooking, but they look like they're slaughtering pigs." Fanyin stuck out his tongue, and Zhong Xingyan took a few steps back. He muttered: "Is it so obvious?"

Sanskrit stared, "Are you really a pig killer?"

"He cooks in the army." Zhong Xingyan coughed twice, "Maybe there are too many people, I should go to another restaurant to find two real cooks."

"What did I say, this doesn't look like a cook no matter what." Fanyin pinched him fiercely, "You don't want the business of Su Zhai Building, okay? How can this be a vegetarian? It doesn't look right Son."

"Who said it can't be done?" Zhong Xingyan's voice suddenly amplified, as if he was deliberately listening to the six people, "Daughter-in-law, just teach me, if anyone doesn't make the ten dishes you taught, hum Hmph, think about the consequences for yourself!"

Zhong Xingyan's threat made the six people feel as if they had been struck by lightning. They were not expected to do this, but now the Overlord insisted and asked them to cook vegetarian food. Isn't this just nonsense?
What's more, General Zhong also lied. Where do the cooks in the army cook in rotation?

However, even though they were full of complaints, these six people did not dare to refute in person, and could only vent their dissatisfaction with resentful eyes.

"Why stare? I will do what I say! If you don't learn well, go back to the army and cook for two years. That's it!" Zhong Xingyan turned around as he spoke, called a guard beside him, and ordered in a low voice. He said: "Send someone to snatch two of Qiu Yuelou's cooks."

"Ah?" The guard stared wide-eyed, "Is this okay?"

"Go, I have my own way." Zhong Xingyan was so sure that his subordinates should implement it immediately.

Sanskrit also heard it nearby, and pulled off Zhong Xingyan's clothes, "Are you crazy? Qiu Yuelou belongs to Princess Jingwen, how dare you rob the cook there?"

Zhong Xingyan scratched his head, feeling a little guilty, "I'll grab it myself, shouldn't it be a problem? This is also to give my daughter-in-law's vegetarian restaurant a little fame, okay, you can teach them how to do it here first." Su Zhai, I'll come back as soon as I go, just wait."

Zhong Xingyan didn't wait for Sanskrit to chatter, and ran away.

The six "cooks" with knives in their hands stared at Fanyin for a few seconds, and the lean cook jumped out first, "Fourth grandma, let's start?"

Sanskrit raised his head and lamented, "What's the matter!"

After actually teaching, Sanskrit's heart became much more relaxed. Although these six people were tall and strong, they didn't look like cooks at all, but they still learned quickly when they really started.

Especially the thin man, who moved the knife more smoothly than Sanskrit, Fanyin simply changed his method, and only let him do the knife crafting, while the others carefully learned seasoning.

But at this moment, Caiyun rushed over from the Yang residence with Liu Ma.

Seeing Sanskrit, Mama Liu burst into a smile, held her little hand happily and remained silent for a while.

"My aunt doesn't know. The master heard how happy you are to have a body. He drank several cups by himself. The lady was so excited that she didn't sleep much all night. Let the maids take all the clothes, accessories, etc. Ah, I took them all out, and this morning I even ordered the people from Treasure Workshop to come to my house to show off, and now I will start making silver jewelry for my little master."

Because Liu Ma was happy, she raised her voice a few times, "But today Caiyun went to tell you that you still want to build a vegetarian restaurant. Master was annoyed and almost came to scold you in person. It was Madam who persuaded you for a long time. I have to make a step, otherwise the old slave would have come over long ago."

"My mother understands me best."

Fanyin dragged Mama Liu into the room to sit down. Originally, she hoped Mama Liu would come to help, because she had never seen the chefs invited by Zhong Xingyan, and thought they were all proud craftsmen. There is no need for Liu Ma to worry about it, because as long as she says a word, the six people will do it immediately.

I don't know if it's because the people in the army always obey the orders, or because of the power of Zhong Xingyan's intimidation.

After exchanging a few words with Liu Ma, Liu Ma asked about teaching cooks. Fanyin knew that it was not so easy for Zhong Xingyan to send someone from the army to Suzhai Building to be a cook, so she and Liu Ma just brushed it off, so she took it. The ten-course recipe, "These dishes have already been taught, please come here to let you help to watch over them, where the ingredients are wrong, where the heat is overdone, when to put the ingredients, and when to start the pot, you need to count the time, Fortunately, they learn very quickly, I went to watch by myself, and my family was also thinking about it, so I invited you here."

"Leave this matter to the old slave, and I will make it beautiful for you!" Liu Ma is a hardworking person, so she took the recipe and went to work outside the door.

Sanskrit sat in the room thinking for a while, then took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the detailed steps of cooking one by one. The soldiers are used to every move, so she simply wrote down the process for them to memorize, even if they couldn't do it. [-]% of the appearance, even if there is [-]% or [-]%, I can get it out.

Fanyin always thinks things through before doing things, but she is arranging all kinds of people in the Su Zhai Building, but Zhong Xingyan is now engaged in robbing houses.

Qiu Yuelou's chef, old man Qu's family, was led by him from old to young, and all the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs raised at home were taken away by him.

It's not that Zhong Xingyan was too ruthless, but that he paid a lot of money to invite him, but old man Qu picked up Qiao, scolded the Zhong family, and even said that Yang Huailiu's building a vegetarian restaurant was pure nonsense. Lighting the fire made Zhong Xingyan completely anxious.

It's enough to say a few words about him, but dare to say that he is his wife?

Now that Sanskrit is pregnant, that is the ancestor of the family. Even Princess Jingwen has already nodded, but this old man has some kind of cramp, and starts to ramble on about things that are not self-respecting.

Zhong Xingyan did some self-criticism, and found that being courteous was not as effective as fists, so he simply gave the order to take over old man Qu's family.

The old man Qu was stuffed into a donkey cart. Although he was shocked, he still yelled hoarsely, "General Zhong is too deceitful. Even if you beheaded my whole family, I will never give up for Su Zhailou!" Make a dish!"

"Let you cook? You are so beautiful, you can go to Suzhai Building to do a small job and learn." Zhong Xingyan sneered, "Take them all to Jingpo Lake, isn't Suzhai Building not fully built yet? Just Let this old man work as a labor labor, and pretend to take Joe with me? I also want to see if you have the ability!"

The donkey cart started, and the guards led Old Man Qu's family to Jingpo Lake.

Zhong Xingyan thought about it for a while and went to Princess Jingwen's mansion again. He just went to ask for someone, and Princess Jingwen didn't see him, so he only asked Eunuch Guo to pass on a message. For the princess, whether it is apologizing or playing tricks, at least let the princess calm down.

Hearing that Zhong Xingyan brought old man Qu's family to Jingpo Lake, Princess Jingwen was shocked immediately. She didn't plan to see Zhong Xingyan at first, but now she didn't care to keep him cold, and let Xiao Guozi directly Bring him to the apse, and the first sentence he said when we met:
"Are you crazy? Old man Qu is only a cook, but his craftsmanship is praised by everyone, not to mention the royal relatives in the capital, even the crown prince and the king of Yue will praise him, but you actually put their family's It was copied, and everyone was taken away?”

"Zhong Xingyan, Zhong Xingyan, you are really beyond my expectations, co-authoring for Yang Huailiu, are you going all out? Don't forget, there is a Buddha on it that you can't afford!"

Princess Jingwen must be talking about Emperor Chonghua, who first smashed the stone lion at the gate of Rongguo Duke's mansion, and now led troops into the city to rob Old Man Qu's family. Shouldn't Zhong Xingyan be able to lead troops to rebel at any time?
Zhong Xingyan thought he understood what Princess Jingwen meant, so he sat there brazenly drinking tea, and said casually: "I only care about my daughter-in-law, and I have no other thoughts at all. Old man Qu can reprimand me a few words, saying that my daughter-in-law No, what's wrong with Qiu Yuelou's chef? He's just a cook, to put it bluntly, when it comes to cooking vegetarian food, he really can't be compared to Huai Liu."

"Yang Huailiu is your treasure!" Princess Jingwen rolled her eyes at him angrily, "That girl should be happy now that she is pregnant? Are you complaining about me?"

"No way, how could she complain about you." Zhong Xingyan's immediate denial made Princess Jingwen smile a little, "Okay, the matter of Rongguo Duke's mansion really made me anxious, otherwise You won't be so angry, you are more decisive than your father..."

Speaking of General Huaiyuan, Princess Jingwen showed a hint of sadness, "Even if I pay that little girl a favor, you can deal with old man Qu's affairs as you want." Take them all over, "You gave Yang Huailiu this thing, let her raise the baby well, and bring it to see Bengong after giving birth, and Bengong will give it a name."

"Okay." Zhong Xingyan took the contract and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why not think about my son's name now, it must be loud and nice."

"Are you so sure it's a son?" Princess Jingwen laughed amused by his strange appearance, Zhong Xingyan patted his chest and said, "It must be a son, it must be a son!"

"Ah!"

Fanyin sneezed suddenly, startling everyone around who was listening to her teaching cooking.

Looking at the shredded tofu in front of him that had been messed up by sneezing, Sanskrit rubbed his itchy nose, coughed twice, "Let's do it all over again..."
