Chapter 33 Innocent Chai Shao is scared
"Madam, Mr. Fang asked the kitchen for a few chickens, and then directed the chef to cook there. It was very interesting. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Not long after Fang Chen left, Qin sent Yun'er over to check the situation because she was worried.
Mrs. Qin shook her head and asked Qin Huaiyu to go over and help.
"Let me tell you, you can do whatever I say. How come there is so much nonsense!"
In the back kitchen area, Fang Chen pointed at the two cooks in the Duke's Mansion and yelled at them.
Okay, let me ask you to make a dish. This is wrong and that is wrong. Are you sick? I’ve been used to you a lot, so just do whatever I tell you!
As soon as Qin Huaiyu walked to the door, he was frightened and started acting up again.
When he poked his head and looked inside, Fang Chen was almost riding on the two cooks to show off his power.
"Whatever you want to see, come in if you want!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Qin Huaiyu, and Fang Chen was even more unhappy. Why did he act like a villain? He didn't want to learn what he was capable of!
Seeing that the young master was so tempered by this guy, the two cooks had no choice but to admit their defeat and start working according to Fang Chen's instructions.
Qin Huaiyu glared hard at Fang Chen, the guy who had accused him of evil. If he hadn't been unable to beat him, he would have...
It's strange to say that I am also a martial arts student, but I have never been Fang Chen's opponent, and I don't know why.
I once asked Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong laughed and said, "That brat stays with the refugees every day. If he didn't have any skills, he would have starved to death long ago."
"Fang Chen, can you please stop going to my mother to complain?"
Fang Chen snorted coldly, "I have been a picket member of the class since I went to school. At that time, many people would run away when they saw me! I am a good assistant to the teacher and a thorn in the flesh of bad children."
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps when I was young, I was too eager to be noticed and recognized?
"Okay, I get it."
Qin Huaiyu was very frightened by Fang Chen's abnormal reaction. If the rogue fainted again, his father would have to chop him with a knife.
"No, I mean...Oh, forget it, as long as you are happy."
Thousands of words are finally combined into one sentence, "You are happy." This shows how worried Qin Huaiyu is about something going wrong with Fang Chen, right?
From his parents' words, he also had a general understanding of Fang Chen.
First, his origins are extraordinary, but he was not born into a wealthy family;
Second, he has never met his biological parents and has been living with his adoptive mother;
Third, he dares to kill people and can establish prestige among the refugees...
What a kind of admiration. You know, he couldn't do any of the things Fang Chen did.
"Fang Chen, what are you doing?"
Looking at the "work" of the two cooks, the young man couldn't help but feel curious.
Fang Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Eat!"
"Eat? What to eat?"
Fang Chen patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder, "Just wait and it will be fine in a while."
What to do? Fang Chen had already made a plan in his mind. The first thing was lotus leaf chicken. Remember, it was lotus leaf chicken, not beggar's chicken.
Lotus leaf chicken is an improved version of beggar chicken. At that time, he had nothing to do. Apart from novels, what Fang Chen studied most was cooking.
There is another dish, those lotus roots.
Just boil it in boiling water, let it cool, slice it, and then add some ingredients.
Among the cold dishes in Shanxi, lotus root slices are very popular.
It's crispy and delicious after one bite. It's a pity that there is no chili here, otherwise it would be better.
Lotus leaf chicken is a little more troublesome. Each chicken is accompanied by a lotus leaf. After adding the seasonings, it is put into the pot and then fried.
Before frying, boil the whole chicken in honey water three times, then drain it. Heat oil in a pan. Considering the lack of spices in Tang Dynasty, I only got some star anise leaves and a jar with no name.
of rice wine.
Put the sugar in the pot, add spices and rice wine to make a soup. After the flavor is cooked, take it out and let it cool. Put the whole chicken in it and keep pouring the soup. Let it marinate for about half an hour.
Make a salt paste with salt and water, wrap the chicken in lotus leaves, wrap the salt paste around the entire lotus leaf, and then bake it slowly over the fire.
Wait for a few more hours, then use a mallet to crack it open, and the fragrance will spread out instantly.
"Okay, it smells so good..."
The most alluring thing in this fragrance was the smell of Fang Chen's secret soup. In an instant, Qin Huaiyu was captured, and he stretched out his hand to grab it.
"Snapped!"
"What are you doing?"
Qin Huaiyu covered the back of his hands with a look of grievance on his face.
Fang Chen snorted, called a girl, put the chicken that had been cooked for the first time on a plate, and asked her to send it to his wife.
Qin Huaiyu stuck out his tongue and thought to himself, it seems that he was wrong.
Even though I can’t grab the first one, there’s no problem with the second one, right?
"Snapped!"
"what happened again?"
The back of his hand was red, and he didn't even try to hold back his strength when he hit him.
Fang Chen pointed to the backyard, "Your father is back, why don't you send him there?"
Qin Huaiyu patted his head, quickly picked it up and walked back.
After wasting so much time, Qin Qiong has come back long ago.
But it was said that after Qin Qiong entered the palace, he reported the matter to Li Shimin.
It was difficult for Li Shimin to make decisions alone, and he was even a little confused.
"Nutrition fee? What the hell?"
Qin Qiong's face was very embarrassed, "I thought that was... the reason why he wanted to ask Chai Shao for money..."
Li Shimin's eyes widened, "Why didn't he ask you for it?"
"I'm also a little curious, I don't know why."
If I think about it carefully, I'm afraid Fang Chen still regards Chai Shao as a cheap "father"...
As soon as Queen Changsun heard that Qin Qiong had entered the palace, she knew that it must be related to Yu'er, so she rushed over, only to see the monarch and his ministers staring at each other with big eyes.
After asking the reason, Queen Changsun also widened her eyes, "Xiao Yu'er said you will never enter Chang'an again?"
The three of them together, I am afraid that there is something wrong with being imprisoned. After all, no matter how much Qin Qiong likes a child, it is impossible to imprison him in the house and prevent him from going out. It would be strange if he is not suspicious.
"Call Chai Shao!"
Chai Shao has been having a headache these days. He is called into the palace every now and then. Yesterday, he just confirmed that the young prince is coming to his house, and he is worried about how to entertain him.
But who would have expected that not long after, another palace servant came to interpret the story together.
"Eunuch Liu, I wonder why your Majesty called me?"
Liu Sancheng silently accepted the money sent by Chai Shao and said with a smile, "I only know that Duke Yi is also in the palace."
Chai Shao immediately showed a worried expression on his face, "Father-in-law, is it...that person's business again?"
Liu Sancheng nodded first and then shook his head, "Consort, please. Your Majesty is still waiting for the old slave to return to his life."
"Alas..." Everything is not going well this year!
Following the chamberlain, Chai Shao hurried to the palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Three eyes glared at him fiercely, no one would be afraid, especially two of them were the emperor and empress.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I am late, please atone for your sins."
Li Shimin waved his hand nonchalantly and asked Chai Shao to step forward and asked: "Consort, do you know that my stinky boy has already regarded you as his father?"
This guy was so frightened by Chai Shao that when he knelt on the ground, he only dared to say that the old minister was at fault and that the old minister deserved to die. He did not dare to ask what happened.
Fortunately, Qin Qiong pulled him up and told him what happened. Chai Shao wiped his cold sweat, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Li Shimin felt a little unhappy when he saw him like that, and snorted coldly, "What can you do about this?"
Qin Qiong looked at the shoes and Chai Shao looked at the trousers, but there was no reply. They did not dare to participate in the royal affairs, and they could not afford to participate.
It can range from having their heads moved to death, to being more serious and killing everyone.
The scene was a little silent for a while, which was very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Empress Changsun opened her mouth and relieved the two of them. "Your Majesty, from my concubine's point of view, I'm afraid Chai Prince Consort and Yi Guogong are not to blame for this matter."
Li Shimin's eyes were full of exploration, and he didn't know why the queen said this.
Empress Changsun half-smiled, "Don't forget, Sister Pingyang has raised him for many years."
Li Shimin was speechless, so Chai Shao could really be Fang Chen's father!
Chai Shao lowered his head and could hear Empress Changsun's resentment in and out of her words. He really couldn't be blamed for this!
"Oh, Pingyang, you have done me a terrible job."
Pingyang conspired with Li Yuan to directly erase the identity of one of Li Shimin's children, which was basically the same as betrayal, and even brought him to a distant place to be raised. If Pingyang hadn't passed away, the child would have wandered into the refugee community and ended up in Chang'an.
Only then can Li Shimin and his wife find him!
She was her biological sister, but she committed betrayal. It would be good if Li Shimin didn't hate her.
"Husband-in-law, you will go to Yiguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow. I don't want you to have any non-monarchy-subordinate relationship with Yu'er. Do you understand?"
"promise!"
"Also, bring more money!"
Chapter completed!
