Every time I wear a book, I am forced to turn around

Smart people tend to think too much.Patriarch Xia is naturally a smart person.

"Could it be that... this Gongliang is not that Gongliang? Someone killed the real Mr. Gongliang, and then pretended to be him?" Patriarch Xia thought to himself, "The reason for the impostor to trick us to the capital is to... kill us Endless troubles?"

"No, no, Mr. Gong Liang came to Beijing with the young master of the Geng family. Now the young master of the Geng family is ranked second in high school, and even Mr. Gong Liang's apprentices have been appointed officials. With the young master of the Geng family, Mr. Gong Liang should not impersonated."

"Then how did Mr. Gongliang become a stunning beauty?!"

Patriarch Xia's head hurts from thinking about it.He had already made up his mind to get on Yan Jinyun's boat. A businessman has the mentality of a gambler.But after hearing those rumors, he suddenly became a little more uncertain about his trip to the capital.

Yan Jinyun didn't know that Patriarch Xia's heart was full of floods. Many of the news he released through Sun Er's mouth were not lies.He is indeed learning to cook in retreat. He follows Mr. Yi every day, practicing with excellence, and only hopes that his cooking skills can be improved to a higher level.At his level, even a little progress is a breakthrough.

Regarding the "pure" that Mr. Yi especially valued, Yan Jinyun also gradually gained some insights of his own.It is difficult to describe this thing in words, you can say it is a kind of "respect", it is respect for the ingredients, and it is also a respect for the diners; you can also say it is a kind of "mind", it is the chef's process of making food You can even say that it is a kind of "Tao", a kind of "great love", a kind of "pursuit", a kind of "uniqueness", which is the soul given to food by the chef.

When a chef has not been enlightened for a long time, at least he can first learn to respect. As long as the chef is willing to respect the ingredients, the ingredients will naturally not betray the chef.Then, he can learn to be devout, and complete his work with a devout heart.

Keep this respect and piety uninterrupted, maybe ten years, maybe 20 years, maybe a lifetime, in short, as long as you keep it uninterrupted, then a chef will find his own way one day.

It is precisely because of this awareness that Yan Jinyun is obsessed with practicing every day.

One day in April, Yuyuan came to Yan Jinyun in a panic, and said anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good! The steward of Princess Anqing's mansion is about to leave an Yaji post, and the princess is coming to participate in the Yaji too." ! She must be coming for you!"

This Princess Anqing is the younger sister of the current Holy Majesty.She has a very bad reputation.She was married once before, and after she died as a consort, she lived a chic life of raising a beautiful boy as a love interest. The noodles around her were like leeks, once they were cut off, they grew again.As the reputation of Mr. Gongliang spread more and more widely, it must have reached the ears of this princess.

No, trouble is at your door.

If you ask Yuyuan, the more he looks at Yan Jinyun now, the more he feels that he has a relic from the past, no matter how you look at it, he looks good.But he also knew that most people admired the four beauties of the capital. If Princess Anqing really became interested in Yan Jinyun, but finally found out that Yan Jinyun had this kind of appearance... the princess must feel that she was cheated, then Yan Jinyun would be out of luck up.

Yan Jinyun poured Yu Yuan a glass of water with a calm expression.His calmness and Yuyuan's panic formed a sharp contrast.Yu Yuan stretched out his fingers and pointed at Yan Jinyun tremblingly, do you know the seriousness of this matter!Yan Jinyun said: "Princess Anqing is very intelligent. A person with intelligence knows what can be done and what cannot be done."

In this era when the status of women is generally low, Princess Anqing can be described as deviant.Her boldness is also rare among princesses.The emperor's aunts, aunts, sisters, and his daughters, there are dozens of living princesses. The most other princesses can do is to restrict concubines and concubines. The only one who dares to raise her face is Princess Anqing.

And the reason why she can live as she pleases is because the emperor feels guilty for this younger sister. She helped the emperor to block the poison earlier, so she lost her fertility, so the emperor pampered her a little more.On the other hand, it is because she has never made any mistakes in matters of right and wrong, she has always been a staunch royalist, and she will never spoil the emperor's affairs.She is so knowledgeable, even if she likes beautiful boys, she has never seen her do anything to Simei in Beijing, because Simei in Beijing is the son of a high-ranking official.A person who has the guilt of the emperor but does not squander it too much can naturally live a chic life.

In other words, as long as Yan Jinyun is useful to the emperor, Princess Anqing will not do anything to Yan Jinyun.

"I handed over the playbook to the emperor, and I think the reward will come soon." Yan Jinyun revealed a little to Yu Yuan.

"A reward? What kind of reward?"

"Chef, just like tableware, kitchen utensils and so on. I asked the emperor to borrow Liu Wenxu's painting of hundreds of flowers. I want to make a picture of narcissus, so that it can be printed on porcelain to make exquisite tableware. The emperor is definitely willing." .” Yan Jinyun said.

Yu Yuan hurriedly said: "Liu Wenxu? All right, if the emperor really wants to let you have a look, you can also let me have a look!" Liu Wenxu was a famous painter in the previous dynasty, and he was very good at painting flowers. Most of his works are painted part-time with color.

What did Yan Jinyun write in his playbook?First he thanked the emperor for his kindness, and then he took the initiative to mention Enshan Mansion.Due to the addition of Enke in May, candidates who are going to take Enke should have lived in Enshan Mansion, but Enshan Mansion has not yet been built. If you want to settle down all the candidates who signed up for the exam, you need a very large The place.The emperor ordered the construction of Enshan Mansion in the suburbs. After all, there is not so much open space in the city.So Sun Er took some time off and waited for the Enshan mansion to be built before he could play a role as a chef.What Yan Jinyun meant was that during this period of time, don't tell Sun Er to be idle. He has to form his own kitchen team before the Enshan Mansion is completed.Sun Er certainly couldn't feed so many candidates by himself, he had to have a helper.

Yan Jinyun directly stated that these assistant chefs can be selected from various Huangzhuang.The people in Huangzhuang are all servants of the royal family. If they are loyal, they will have everything, and they will basically not betray the royal family.This means that Yan Jinyun's master and apprentice have no intention of controlling Enshan Mansion!They simply stated that Enshan Mansion belonged to the royal family, and he was even willing to train some chefs for the royal family.

Yan Jinyun is willing to spread his culinary skills to the outside world, so the emperor must give some expression, right?

Sure enough, Yan Jinyun said it was "borrowing", and the emperor saw that he liked it, so he directly rewarded Liu Wenxu's picture of narcissus, and there were a bunch of other rewards besides.The nobles in the capital like to try to figure out what is going on, and they want to think about the meaning of the emperor's fart even when the emperor farts. The dragon fart is a bit loud, is the emperor beating me?Therefore, the emperor rewarded Yan Jinyun with the picture of narcissus, and those smart people naturally had to think about it several times in their hearts.

A handsome boy is indeed pitiful and cute, but if this handsome boy gets an account with the emperor...

Although many people in the capital looked down on Princess Anqing's actions, after all, she had a lot of face with the emperor and sometimes did things for the emperor, so none of them dared to offend her.At a flower viewing banquet not long after, someone teased Princess Anqing in front of her, saying something like really wanting to see the famous Mr. Gongliang with his own eyes.This person originally wanted to flatter Princess Anqing, knowing that the princess would like to listen to a handsome man, so he did what he liked.

But she didn't want to, Princess Anqing raised her eyelids, took a light look at this person, and said, "Shut up quickly! How can a person like Mr. Gongliang come and go as you call him? It's the capital of the palace." dare not say such a thing.”

Huh?Princess Anqing thinks highly of Mr. Gongliang so much?Could it be that he really fell in love with him?

However, Princess Anqing told the story of the handsome man who was very popular in the past six months and turned into a daffodil.She said bluntly that in her opinion, Mr. Gongliang is like a daffodil, which should bloom quietly by himself without being disturbed by others.

After hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded.

This is not in line with the princess's usual style of acting!She was clearly very interested in Mr. Gongliang before, but now she says she won't bother him?Could it be that Mr. Gongliang is already so beautiful that the princess would feel ashamed?How beautiful that is!

Cough, of course I dare not say this to the outside world, as long as everyone understands it.

Yan Jinyun only silently controls the overall situation behind the scenes.On Sun Er's side, the chefs have already been selected, and they all have no culinary foundation, so they have to learn from scratch with Sun Er.Most of these servants are loyal, but it cannot be said that there are no spies here.Yan Jinyun gave Sun Er an idea, asking Sun Er to take the helper to do physical training first.

Practice from morning to night every day, not standing in a military posture, just running in circles, doing pull-ups after running, doing push-ups after doing pull-ups, and continuing to run after finishing push-ups...I was so tired that I was out of breath and had to chop vegetables pier.It doesn't matter if it's loyal or traitorous, after practicing all day, after lying on the bed, I have no thoughts, and I can fall asleep one by one.

Sun Er is a simple-minded person, he just wants not to embarrass Yan Jinyun.If water is used during training, and the chefs are not good at learning, it will damage Master's reputation in the future!So when Sun Er trained as a cook, he had very strict requirements.

They must be trained to be fit and muscular men!

Ah, no, they have to be trained to be all-round talents who can pass the knife skills, spoon skills, and noodle skills!

When Patriarch Xia finally arrived in the capital, he heard something from the coolie who carried the sedan chair and cart as soon as he got off the boat.These coolies like to show off some gossip they don't know where they heard in front of foreigners, maybe they can get a few taels of silver when they are happy.When you meet someone who can talk about horses, in order to get rewards, you will not stop talking.

"...This is your first time in the capital, so you should go to the Zhuangyuan Building! The picture of beauty drawn by Mr. Yu Shenquan for Mr. Gong Liang was originally taken down, but too many people liked it, so it was hung again I went back. It didn’t seem to be called Beauty Picture in the past, but now it’s called that.” The coolie deliberately made an expression that I had a big secret to tell, and then deliberately lowered his voice, “You know Mr. Gongliang, right? Hey, He looks so good-looking, I've seen it with my own eyes! It's a pity, I'm afraid that he will turn into a daffodil like the handsome man in the story, and the matchmakers in the capital dare not say goodbye to him..."

Patriarch Xia: "???"

Have you seen it with your own eyes?As if I had never seen him in person.Patriarch Xia sighed full of vicissitudes.
