In the end, the group sat in the private room of Du Qingchen's store. Liu Tai stood at the top of the stairs, accepting the double accusation from Qiu You and Du Qingchen, lowered his head, and explained aggrievedly, "Brother Du, you don't know, his Looking at you with small eyes, I can't resist at all! My heart is broken."

"My heart was broken by you too." Qiu You hugged his chest and said, "It doesn't look like an ordinary person, okay, you still..."

"Hey, it's just a meal! Brother Du opened a shop in the capital, what kind of dignitaries can't receive him! Right Brother Du?" Liu Tai looked up at Du Qingchen nervously.

Du Qingchen looked at him for a while, and said, "It's okay. Since they are willing to come, they will be fine. I won't force them to eat, right! I made it and put it on the table. If you think it's unclean, you don't have to eat it. It has nothing to do with me."

Just as he was talking, a white-faced, beardless middle-aged man came out of the private room and walked over with a smile.

It was also after entering the store that Liu Tai and Qiu You discovered that the father and son had accompanying attendants. They hadn't noticed it before, so it was obvious that they were all hidden.Although a few were exposed because of entering the store to serve, Liu Taiqiu and his friends believed that there must be many hidden attendants in this store and around this area.

Du Qingchen greeted him with a smile, and said, "I don't know what the old man wants to eat, so I'll let someone do it."

"Don't be in a hurry, my young master wants to eat some interesting snacks. I heard that the boss cooks here cleanly, and the snacks are delicious. But, this thing is made by the old slave, I wonder if it is convenient?"

Du Qingchen nodded with a smile, "Yes, this way please, my kitchen has always paid attention to cleanliness, absolutely clean, please."

"Brother Du?" Liu Tai was slightly worried.

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Du Qingchen led the eunuch-like man into the back kitchen.

The back kitchen of Du Qingchen's shop is naturally clean. Every cook wears a clean white robe, wraps around his body, and wears a white hat on his head, which is tightly tied. He took a big look at the mask and made the middle-aged man behind him nod with a smile, "Sure enough, it's clean. I think it's a bit cleaner than the one in my house. Although this white-clothed man looks like he's going to a funeral, but It’s really a good way, when I go back, this old slave should also tell the kitchen staff to learn this way.”

"You are too famous." Du Qingchen smiled, "I don't know how to call you?"

"My surname is Wan. The boss should just call me Uncle Wan."

Du Qingchen nodded, and didn't mind a servant asking him to address Uncle Wan, and said respectfully, "Uncle Wan."

Du Qingchen knew that the first test was passed. If this person saw the back kitchen and felt that it was not clean, he would just turn around and leave without telling him his last name. This was also the meaning of asking him to cook.

Du Qingchen washed his hands, went to the stove vacated for him in the kitchen, and asked, "I don't know what taboos the old man and the young master have?"

"My master doesn't eat it, just the little boy's. Too sweet, too salty, too oily, it doesn't work. The taste should be light and easy to digest. The little boy is young and his stomach is weak. He should eat hot food, not cold food. Stimulating food is not allowed. Eat, and the rest, the boss can do it himself."

Du Qingchen froze silently as he rolled his sleeves. He especially wanted to ask, what did your son eat to grow up?

But Du Qingchen held back, nodded and said, "Can I eat some fruit?"

"This is okay, but it's not good for those who are easy to get angry."

Du Qingchen nodded, took the unflavored fruit, and took the juicer, washed it in front of Wan Bo, peeled the fruit before putting it in, and said to the assistant next to him: "Take the kitchen Bring the hot milk you have prepared."

"I'll take a look." Wan Bo said hastily.

"it is good."

Du Qingchen began to squeeze the juice, put it into a delicate teacup, and waited for the man to fetch the milk.

Soon, the waiter came over with a helpless face and said, "Boss, the lord said that you need to cook it now, using the clean pot here."

"Okay, let's start the fire and cook now." Du Qingchen will do whatever the other party asks him to do, and he has absolutely no objection.

The man went to boil the milk, and Du Qingchen started to make cakes with egg flour. There is also a small oven in the back kitchen, which he made, and he rarely uses it. Knowing how to use it twice, Du Qingchen poured the prepared batter into the mold in front of the other party, and just about to sprinkle sliced ​​almonds in it, he stopped and asked, "Is sliced ​​almonds okay?"

"Yes." The other party said with a smile.

Du Qingchen just sprinkled it on, put it in the oven, and let another guy watch the heat.

Du Qingchen poured some flour into the remaining batter, kneaded it hard, and then made it into small slices, put a little oil in a pan, and baked it. That's it, the other party was watching the amount of oil. , When one side of the small dough was baked and browned, Du Qingchen crushed the hawthorn again, boiled it for a while, put it into the dough, and made it into the shape of a sandwich biscuit.

It took a long time for Du Qingchen to personally deliver a few dishes.

Wan Bo seemed very satisfied with Du Qingchen's series of actions, and said, "Although the culinary skills and knife skills are a bit poor, but the mind is clever."

Du Qingchen smiled, only thinking that the other party was praising him.

As soon as he entered the door, Du Qingchen saw Liu Tai and Qiu You sitting beside him, and the barbecue grill was not turned on. There was only a teacup in front of him. Qiu You stared at him eagerly when he saw him, but it was Liu Tai who was dating that person. The conversation was very happy, but in fact, you can't say that. Du Qingchen felt that the other party was teasing Liu Tai like a child, and Liu Tai just cooperated cheerfully.

There was barely laughter in the room, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Du Qingchen put the food in front of the four or five-year-old child, and said, "I was afraid that I would run out of time, so I only made these. I don't know what this gentleman wants to eat? I can do it."

"No need, just eat it for the child." The old man said with a smile.

Du Qingchen could only nod his head to express his understanding.

"I heard that you have taken care of Liu Tai for many years, and he has been eating and living at your house!"

Du Qingchen nodded, "Yes, Master Liu has been kind to me, and I can't repay it too much. Moreover, even if there is no Master Liu, we are from the same township. It's rare that there are some people in the township who are successful in studying, so I should do my best. That's helping."

The old man nodded and thoughtfully said: "You are a sincere person."

I?Honesty?Then you are probably old and dizzy, Du Qingchen smiled, and seemed to lower his head shyly.

"Delicious!" The child took a bite of the small cake made by Du Qingchen, his eyes lit up instantly, and his big eyes were full of surprises. No wonder Liu Tai said that he really couldn't bear the eyes, this kid is too cute, Du Qingchen With emotion, it is simply a New Year picture doll!

No wonder he was so favored, Du Qingchen glanced at the old man and lowered his head.

Although he hadn't been in contact for long, Du Qingchen probably guessed the identity of the other party. The eunuch was a servant, the age of the old emperor, and the child of the eighth prince's age. The third prince was fighting with the fifth prince, but in fact he didn't intend to pass on the throne to any of them. What he really liked was his youngest son, the eighth prince.

And this point, the fifth prince didn't realize it until the end, but it was almost too late at that time, because the old emperor had planned to write an edict to pass on the throne to the world. If the edict was issued, even if the fifth prince forced the palace to change the will and inherit the throne, he would be a rebellious minister Thieves.

At the critical moment, it was Qi Cheng who proposed to raise troops immediately to force the palace, which led to the ending of the bloodbath in the original book. Jiang Chuan died in Qi Cheng's hands, the third prince was confined in the mansion, and later committed suicide.The fifth prince saw the undelivered decree to inherit the throne, and personally killed his brother, that is, the New Year picture doll. He killed his father, brother and brother, and stepped on the bloody road to ascend to the throne.

It's a pity that this New Year picture doll is gone.Du Qingchen's expression remained unchanged.

The emperor patted Lao Ba's head and said, "You like it. When you get back, let the cook cook it for you."

"That's right! The slaves have memorized the steps, and it will be done as soon as we go back." Wan Bo immediately said with a flattering smile.

The Eighth Prince held the small cake in both hands, gnawed it like a little squirrel, looked at Du Qingchen, then at Liu Tai next to him, then narrowed his eyes with a smile, and threw himself into the emperor's arms, causing the emperor to haha ​​again laughing out loud.

The Eighth Prince gnawed a small piece of cake before lying down next to the emperor's ear, and whispered: "I like brother Liu Tai, and I also like this brother who makes dim sum."

Du Qingchen's heart lifted slightly, why do you like him!What does he like so much!God!He didn't want to have anything to do with the Eighth Prince, such a cute child, knowing that he was going to die, if he got too close, he couldn't help but want to help, but he couldn't help him!

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he must hide far away!

Liu Tai also seemed to like the Eighth Prince very much, and said with a smile, "I like you too."

Du Qingchen secretly lamented from the bottom of his heart, this silly boy!

The emperor had already looked at Liu Tai. He saw that Liu Tai was pure in heart. He really liked Lao Ba and was willing to talk to him, "Since you like my child, why not come and play with him when you have time? In my family, his brother My sisters are all grown up and don't like to play around with him, he is usually close to me and has no companion, I think you are good."

With a clean background and new arrival in the capital, he is no one, so he just happens to be a playmate for Lao Ba.

"Me? But I still want to study." Liu Tai subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Stupid boy, don't hesitate to thank me. Being with my young master is better than how many books you have studied! What kind of future do you want?!" Uncle Wan hurriedly spoke beside him.

That's no good. Only by studying can you take the imperial examination, and you can become an official if you pass the Jinshi examination. And starting from the imperial examination is the right way to become an official.Liu Tai was still reluctant.

Uncle Wan glanced at the emperor, who nodded slightly, and Uncle Wan said with a smile: "I said Mr. Liu, do you know who our master is?"

"Who is it?" Liu Tai was flustered, but he didn't show it on his face, and even pretended to be disapproving.

"It's our Majesty!" Uncle Wan cupped his hands and immediately knelt down, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Du Qingchen closed his eyes, knowing that Liu Tai would not be able to refuse, he also knelt down and said long live, Qiu You pulled Liu Tai and knelt down together, saluting.

The emperor chuckled, "Study is of course good, and you can't waste your studies just because of playing. It just so happens that the eighth child is also going to school, so you can go with him. If you have any advice, you can also ask the young master in the palace." Fu, they are all from the Hanlin Academy, and their knowledge is first-rate."

"I..." The Eighth Prince just entered the school, and he is a Jinshi candidate, so how can he learn together!

"Oh, Mr. Liu, please thank you!" Wan Bo said hastily.

Pushing the ducks to the shelves, Liu Tai could no longer tolerate other reactions, so he had to salute: "The grass people thank the emperor for his grace."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction.
