Chapter 117 Dou Kitchen

"Indeed, and not only succeeded in transforming Huainan City in one year, but also used the resources of Huainan City to become an imperial merchant within five years. The two-way development and perfect completion of the task, all the people in Huainan City are grateful to him, so he was called by the monarch. In the imperial capital, not only Wanmin books, but also Wanmin umbrellas, Wanmin clothes, etc. were given away, and the scene was extremely spectacular, and he was only 25 years old at that time."

"So you have successfully sealed the Marquis?"

Wei Sichen shook his head, "When the monarch called him into the imperial capital, he didn't immediately seal him as a marquis as promised, but placed him in the imperial capital, and his official rank was the same as that of the lord of Huainan City. The one who came here is not a child of your family, and he has such amazing abilities, one can imagine what it will be like in the court."

"Suppressed? Or isolated?" An Ning frowned.

"No, being flattered and killed, the original intention of the monarch was to keep him to further test his ability, so he didn't give him the title of marquis immediately, but he didn't expect that so many high-ranking official families would suddenly unite to praise him. Suspicious, and afraid of his ability, although he was granted the title of marquis, he was suppressed in every possible way. He probably didn't know it at that time. They will use the hereditary system of titles in exchange for Huainan City as a fief, and then retreat to Huainan City."

Speaking of this, Wei Sichen's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm.

An Ning also felt a little bit, even if she just listened to it, she could think of the cruel reality that Huaiyang Marquis faced back then.

Probably back then, he had great ambitions and wanted to work hard to become the emperor's right-hand man. Unfortunately, the early stage was too smooth, and he fell into the trap of others if he didn't pay attention. However, what disappointed him most was probably the emperor's distrust and suspicion.

It is said that the king is the most suspicious person in the world, and he doesn't trust people other than himself, and once someone is still placed in the piece he doesn't trust, it will be like broken porcelain, even if it is glued together, the seam will remain.

"Then who is the current city lord?" Since Wei Sichen said that he is the former city lord, it means that the current Huainan city lord is not him, but Huainan city is his fiefdom, and since his heirs cannot inherit the title, they cannot take over Huainan either. city.

"Although he can't accept the title, Huainan City is his fief, and everything in it is naturally assigned by him. The current city lord is his only son."

"That's okay?" An Ning was surprised.

Wei Sichen looked at her amusedly, "You haven't understood the true meaning of fiefdom yet."

An Ning was taken aback, and frowned slightly. She really didn't understand, and she was not a native, and her understanding of fiefdoms was also learned from history books, and it was very general.

Although many princes have fiefdoms, which is equivalent to becoming kings on their own, they are still basically controlled by the court.

That's why when Wei Sichen said about the situation in Qizhou before, she didn't fully believe that that place really became his completely, wouldn't it really be able to become a country of its own.

"Mother, Uncle Chen, come here, come here!" At this moment, in the crowd, Kang Kang, who was sitting on Gu Ren's neck, was waving at them excitedly.

An Ning looked up and couldn't help laughing.

"Let's go." Wei Sichen took her hand and walked forward quickly.

An Ning looked at the hand that was being held, whether it was pulled back or not.

Where Kangkang and the others were, there would be a lot of people, and they seemed to be watching something. When they arrived, they could only look at the crowd on the third floor and the third floor.

"What's the matter? What's the excitement." She took out a handkerchief casually, helplessly wiped the sweat off the little guy's face, then handed Gu Ren a handkerchief, and smiled apologetically, "Thanks for your hard work."

The little guy is like a bird out of the cage, and Gu Ren is really tired.

Gu Ren looked at the handkerchief, his face froze, how could he dare to pick it up, didn't he see that the prince's eyes had already started to slash the knife.

He laughed and quickly wiped off his sweat with his sleeve, and quickly changed the subject after he shied away, "It seems that someone is fighting over the kitchen, do you want to go in and have a look?"

Dou Chef?

Hearing this word, thinking of what she had heard in the teahouse before, she was a little disgusted, but also a little curious.

"Can I go in?"

"Of course you can if you want to." Wei Sichen said, and wrapped his arms around her waist with one hand, took Kangkang with the other and said, "Kangkang, hold her tight."

At the same time, Gu Ren took out his purse and shouted, "Money is falling from the sky."

Seeing the pieces of silver being thrown into the sky and falling like hail, An Ning immediately understood what to do, and the corner of her mouth twitched fiercely.

It's just... prodigal.

But this method was surprisingly effective, and soon attracted the attention of many people.

When they saw that there was real money falling, the crowd immediately became agitated.

Taking advantage of this gap, the four immediately squeezed in.

After successfully standing in front of people, An Ning finally saw the scene in front of her, which surprised her greatly.

In front of me is a building similar to an inn, but the words on the plaque above are obviously not an inn, it is 'Dou Kitchen Hall'

She didn't expect Dou Chu to provide such a place.

At this moment, the inside of the fighting kitchen was emptied, and some stoves were set up on the east and west sides of the hall.

At the moment, there are people on the stoves on both sides, and they are cooking, and there are some people standing beside them, probably from the two sides.

And there are three desks on a small high platform in the middle, with one person sitting behind each, and servants standing next to them.

Judging from the same robes on their bodies, they should be chefs, and most likely referees.

Let's talk about the two people fighting on the other side of the stove. On the left is a boy who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young man was dressed in a short coarse robe, his face was pale with a trace of sickness, and it should not be temporary, it seemed that he was suffering from a long-term illness.

But even so, the perseverance exuded from the young man did not make people think that he was so fragile.

There were several young men and women standing on one side of the youth stove, their clothes were not ordinary, and one of them looked like the leader of the young man who looked a bit like a son of a rich family.

The other party was watching the boy's actions with great interest, he looked like a supporter but not like it.

The leader of the stove on the right is a young man who looks to be in his 20s. He is wearing a robe similar to that of the referees above, but it is more plain and simple.

An Ning had seen quite a few chefs wear them during the Yuanshi Competition before. This is a unique gown after being certified by the Chefs Association, but the gowns will change slightly depending on the grade.

In other words, that young man should be a chef from the Chefs Guild or a certain family, which is the so-called 'graduated'

Combined with the discussions of the people around you, you can basically understand the current situation.

This is another battle between wild cooks and orthodox cooks, and it is said that the sick boy is the younger brother of the man who failed in the fight and crippled his right hand, and now he is presumably here to avenge his brother.

I didn't expect to hear about this incident not long ago, and now I see some of the protagonists of the incident.
