Xuanhua City is the capital of Yongzhou and the most important city, and it is naturally prosperous.

There are some wine shops, hawkers selling along the streets, and even the Toutuo who report time in the morning, which looks like a little Bianliang.

But prosperity is relative. Compared with Bianliang, this place will probably become a rural place.

In the countryside, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Not to mention Xiao Gu, even if a prefect comes out, he will be a local emperor.

So after seeing Xiao Gu, the diners all stood up and stood there.

If it were in Bianliang, the censor would definitely impeach Xiao Gu's domineering and arrogant attitude.

But this is Yongzhou!

Yongzhou will be told if you are not careful!

Chen An helped the shopkeeper up and smiled and said, "Did you make the braised mutton yourself?"

I'm going! Did you meet an expert?

The shopkeeper said with a gaze: "The noble man is not a villain's bragging. After the cooking was invented, the entire Guangnan West Road was the best. It's really not a villain's bragging. Even if he goes to Bianliang, the villain can make a lot of money with the cooking skills..."

Huang Chun and others were laughing. At first, they were laughing, but now they can't help it.

The shopkeeper looked at them for no reason and said, "What kind of dishes are noble people who like to eat, just say it's not a villain's boast. Even if the person who invented the cooking was standing up, the villain... the villain..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Huang Chun finally couldn't help laughing, and Zeng Gongliang, who came behind him, also laughed.

Lao Zeng came over and everyone saluted. He sat next to Shen An and said, "If the Song Dynasty talks about cooking skills, Anbei said it was second, and no one dared to recognize it first. Why? Today, Anbei doesn't cook some good dishes in person..."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said, "I was driven away by you all the way. I was ridiculed by you when I walked slowly. Now I only feel that my soul is in a thread. My life is not long. This is all your fault..."

Chen An smiled and said, "Forget it."

He rushed along the way with a hurry, but Lao Zeng was old and he was a civil servant, and he was a poor and expensive person. He had never suffered such a crime, so Chen An only did two things along the way.

Supervise the military training of the Mangshan Army, from Bianliang to Yongzhou.

The second thing is to urge Lao Zeng to rush to rush.

Lao Zeng looked haggard now, and the thin wife was afraid that even her old wife would not recognize her when she went home. At least half of it was driven out because she was rushed, so he was qualified to say that she was cheated by Chen An.

There is nothing wrong with the southwest for the time being. Chen An's heart fell to the ground and asked with a smile: "Where is the kitchen?"

The shopkeeper said in a confused look: "It's right behind, it's just a noble person..."

What kind of cooking skills is the best in the Song Dynasty? Don’t coax me, okay? Which official will be a chef?

Huang Chun smiled so hard that he fell, and Yan Baoyu couldn't help but pursed his lips and turned his head.

Zeng Gongliang looked at the shopkeeper with a dark face. He didn't know where this guy got his confidence, but he actually felt that his cooking skills were better than Chen An.

"You... I just heard... you said that your cooking skills are better than him?"

Are you fooling me!

The shopkeeper touched his head for no reason, and then smiled foolishly: "The villain cooks...is amazing."

"Okay, you're awesome."

Chen An went to the kitchen without thinking it was offended and came out in a quarter of an hour.

Zeng Gongliang could no longer hold on and was using snacks. When he saw him coming out, he said, "Don't fool me. This meal is not good. Just stay by my side when I turn back."

Chen An was anxious, so he naturally didn't want to be restrained. In addition, Zhao Zhen made him optimistic about Chen An and refused to let him go, so Zeng Gongliang was confident.

Chen An smiled and said, "Just eat it, I made a certain bowl of soup cakes and can make people miss it."

While talking, someone came out with a large basin. It was steaming inside, and it was full of noodle soup.

"Try it!"

Zeng Gongliang was not disappointed because he was not greedy, but wanted to repair the cracks between him and Shen An.

The last time the two of them had a secret battle over the loss of goods, he suffered a loss and was a little annoyed at the time.

But along the way, he slowly thought about Chen An, and felt that he should not have had a bad relationship.

So he deliberately got closer to Shen An along the way, and at this time, there was almost no conflict.

So food was not his original intention, but after tasting a bite of the soup cake, he couldn't help but praise: "Fresh! Rich!"

The key is to make the chewy hand-rolled noodles and delicious mutton soup base...

“Why is it so delicious?”

Zeng Gongliang was so hungry that he didn't care about the image of the prime minister. He ate and drank a lot. Finally, he burped and smiled with his belly, "I'm so hungry, but I'm a little overeating."

Xiao Gu next to him laughed in his heart. Zeng Gongliang had just eaten two big bowls of soup cakes, and this young man with average appetite was probably not as good as that.

"It's just the heat."

Chen An made a stir-fried noodles, which directly sucked the deliciousness of the mutton into the noodles, and did not let Zeng Gongliang swallow his tongue. Even his skills were still a little poor.

The shopkeeper was stunned. After Chen An asked his subordinates to divide the basin of noodles, he couldn't help but reach in and pick up the remaining noodles.

"fresh!"

“Tenrich!”

The shopkeeper had never eaten such delicious soup cakes. When Chen An got up and was about to leave with Zeng Gongliang, he asked boldly: "I dare to ask the noble man's name for his surname Gao."

Chen An smiled but did not answer.

The group left the restaurant, and then a small official said, "This is Chen An Guanzhang..."

The shopkeeper was so happy that he turned around and rushed into the back. When he came out later, he actually held a tablet.

He chased him all the way...

"The waiter...the waiter..."

Chen An and Zeng Gongliang were talking in a low voice. When they heard the sound, they turned around and saw the shopkeeper running towards him as if he was flying.

"What's the matter?"

Chen An did not stop him, and the shopkeeper was able to get closer.

"Snack Dianzhao, the villain is unscrupulous, but he doesn't know that it's you here... The villain learned to cook last year and lived a better life in Yongzhou. These are the great kindness and virtues of the Guanzhao!"

Did you actually help him re-employment?

And he is rich.

Chen An felt a little happy, but said lightly: "It's just a small matter, I'll do your business in the future."

"Yes, the villain will definitely do things well."

The shopkeeper wanted to kowtow in tears, but Chen An asked someone to hold him back.

"Thank you, the villain, who worships the tablets of the waiting edict at home every day, and three incense sticks a day..."

Damn it!

Chen An watched him take out the tablet and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

I'm still alive! You actually set up a tablet?

Another person was afraid that his spine would be cold: Will the chefs in the world regard me as the ancestor in the future? Then every family worshipped me...

"Anbei is of great merit, and it is enviable!"

But Zeng Gongliang and others were envious of this and thought it was the official voice.

Later generations gave umbrellas of all people, but now they are worshipped, a few incense sticks in the morning and evening, praying devoutly...

Then as there are more people offering sacrifices, you will become a god.

Chen An was very confused, but he could not refuse this kind of good intention.

...

The results of the interrogation came out the next day.

"The Jiaozhi people gave them benefits, and said that if they could conquer Xipingzhou, they would leave it to them to manage..."

Zeng Gongliang felt it was a bit weird and asked, "Does Jiaozhi people do good deeds?"

I worked hard to build a place and gave it to others for nothing. How could such a great thing be done? I want to go.

Wang Lun said disdainfully: "It is said that Jiaozhi wants to conquer Yongzhou, Qinzhou and other places, so he will naturally not take the small Xipingzhou seriously."

Xiao Gu smiled and said, "I still want to conquer Yongzhou and Qinzhou?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then no one knew who laughed first, and laughter filled the lobby instantly.

Chen An didn't laugh.

When Zeng Gongliang saw him looking at the map, he asked, "But is it inappropriate?"

Chen An looked up and said, "I think... you despise Jiaozhi people."

The laughter gradually stopped, and everyone gathered on the edge of the map. Chen An pointed to Xipingzhou and said, "Assassination of the pacification envoy is a big deal. Since you dare to plan, there will inevitably be a follow-up... Jiaozhi is preparing to launch a large-scale invasion..."
