This call made the kitchen staff stop what they were doing, and after looking at each other in surprise, they all knelt down.Zhuo Yichen didn't know who Prince Jing was, Zhuo Yun only mentioned the Zhuang family to him, but just by the name, he knew that this person was of extraordinary dignity, so he also knelt down along with him.

Shao Ningzhong accompanied King Jing to the back kitchen, but King Jing didn't step in, and his footsteps stopped outside the threshold.

Zhuo Yichen was already inside, away from the door, he lowered his head again, keeping his eyes on the flat ground.He knew that it was a kind of impolite collision behavior in ancient times to look up at the face of a noble person rashly.So he buried his head lower, just to weaken the sense of existence.

Shao Ningzhong bowed and stood beside Prince Jing, and said: "My lord, the kitchen in the lower official's mansion has nothing to do with it, how can it be compared with the ones in the lord's mansion? I'm afraid that the lord's eyes will be dirty."

"Although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs." Prince Jing looked around for himself, so he said.Afterwards, his eyes fell on the people who were kneeling in unison. The people in the back kitchen all changed into white servant uniforms. He glanced at them briefly, but he didn't find any one who was so outstanding.

Prince Jing lazily said: "Okay, you all get up."

Zhuo Yichen does not compete with the world, and he has never heard of King Jing's fierce reputation as a tiger and wolf general.He was about to get up when he heard this sentence, but he was keenly aware that no one around him moved, so he immediately understood and continued to kneel without raising his head.

Seeing this scene, King Jing said: "Shao Qing, it seems that the servants in your house don't obey me." His tone was quite gentle, and he didn't appear to be angry.

"Presumably they only listen to you, Master Shao. With such a loyal servant, Shao Qing is really good at teaching her."

"Don't dare to do it," Shao Ningzhong cupped his hands, "They are afraid of the lord's arrogance, so they dare not take it up." Shao Ningzhong coughed a few times, stepped forward and said: "Since the lord has made you rise, you are not happy." Thanks."

A group of people kowtowed at the same time, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

If so, they stood up from the ground.

The people in Shao's mansion were very sensible, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Shao Ningzhong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and began to talk about business.

He first turned to the back kitchen, and said: "Today, the honorable visit of the prince is a happy event for the Shao family. The prince is here this time to use you. If you can help the prince, it will be the blessing of the third generation." Shao Ningzhong bowed his body again He clasped his hands and turned to Prince Jing, "This is also the blessing of the Shao family. I hope the prince will speak directly."

Shao Ningzhong wished to stay away from Prince Jing from now on, but when the other party came to him, he had no choice but to put on a good show.

Prince Jing seemed quite satisfied with these words, and nodded slightly.

"My lord heard that Shao's mansion recently invited a famous chef, which made the famous Mr. Shao feel ashamed and abdicated himself to be worthy."

Zhuo Yichen didn't say a word when he heard this sentence, his expression was as usual, and his heart was very calm.

Shao Ning Center made a plan to help Zhuo Yichen refuse, so he replied to Prince Jing: "Because Xiaguan's father is getting old, and now he is powerless, and he can no longer take care of the kitchen, so he hired a chef." Talented people come to work in the mansion. They are not famous chefs, so there is no need for the prince to personally..."

But King Jing waved his hand to interrupt him, "I also heard that he can make fishy eggs into light white jade paste. Now restaurants in the capital are following suit, vying to list this dish as the first-class famous dish." .”

Prince Jing smiled but didn't smile, "I said Shao Qing, don't you want to hide this person for your own enjoyment? Since you just said that you are a talent, then let this king Let's meet. Or, this king doesn't have this honor, huh?"

"Your official dare not!" Shao Ningzhong broke into a cold sweat, "I'm afraid that such a rough countryman won't be able to get into the eyes of the lord."

"Since you can make white jade paste from smelly things, you must have dexterous fingers. How can such a person be rough? Shao Qing, the more you stop me like this, the more I want to see you. Is she still a beauty? Are you afraid that this king will not be able to snatch it away?"

Shao Ning was so stunned that he wanted to vomit blood.This arrogant King Jing is unrestrained in his words, if he offends Zhuo Yichen, wouldn't it be the same as offending the crown prince...

That's right, Shao Ningzhong didn't dare to treat Zhuo Yichen as a servant of the Shao family under his father's bold words that day, but respected him as his master.

Zhuo Yichen has never paid attention to how other people's hearts turn back and forth.He didn't pay attention to the last words of Prince Jing, because he was already lost in thought, still thinking about the sentence "The restaurants in the capital followed suit, vying to list this dish as the first-class famous dish".

Zhuo Yichen didn't have a chance to find out about the restaurant's situation. He only knew that local eggs had become popular for a while, but he never thought that his reputation would spread like this.However, the vast majority of people are just hearsay, one pass ten, ten pass one hundred, add oil and vinegar, all kinds of random stew.In short, the folklore spreads amazingly, and there are various versions, so most people follow suit and know about the so-called "Famous Chef of Shao's Mansion", but they don't know or understand Zhuo Yichen at all, and they have never met him. Even if I saw him, I didn't know it was him.

And in the storytelling in some teahouses, Zhuo Yichen has become the one who can turn a stone into gold, and turn a stone into jade... an exile.

Zhuo Yichen thought, he just made a cumbersome but simple separation of ingredients, so it actually led to the innovation of dishes?It seems that the kitchen of Taichang Temple Qing can really lead the trend of folk food.The ancient people's enthusiasm for food really exceeded Zhuo Yichen's original expectations. He felt that he was more motivated... In fact, the ancient people's enthusiasm for gossip and secrets was even higher!If Zhuo Yichen knew about this, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

Prince Jing said again, "I want to meet this man."

Zhuo Yichen put Piao Yuan's thoughts back.

"The Governor of the Two Rivers paid tribute recently, and this king got some rare ingredients, but none of the cooks in the capital can cook them. For some reason, this king gave this ingredient to Shao's mansion, and asked the famous chef in the mansion to give him advice. How are you?"

"Don't dare to take it, how dare Shao's mansion ask for a reward from the prince." Shao Ningzhong secretly wondered, could the so-called food rewarded to Shao's mansion be the highly poisonous poison bar?

"Shao Ningzhong, why are you talking so much nonsense!" Prince Jing yelled angrily, with a sullen expression on his face, "It's a waste of time to deal with you civil servants! How dare you refuse to accept my king's reward?"

"I dare not disobey the order of the prince."

Shao Ningzhong had no choice but to step forward and called out, "Master Zhuo, would you please come out for a while?"

Zhuo Yichen slowly stepped out from a group of cooks, and then slowly walked in front of Shao Ningzhong.

Shao Ningzhong introduced respectfully: "This is Mr. Zhuo."

Prince Jing said indifferently, "I never expected to be so young."

Shao Ning replied: "A young man produces a talent!"

Prince Jing looked at Zhuo Yichen for a few times, and felt that the person in front of him was very ordinary, with a calm expression on his brows, and his head was slightly lowered, without any sharpness at all. No wonder he didn't notice this person during his glance just now.

Prince Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "It's you?"

Zhuo Yichen nodded slightly.

Shao Ningzhong said again: "Young Master Zhuo's speech is not smooth, so it is inconvenient to speak often, please forgive me, my lord."

This is true.Zhuo Yichen's stuttering is fine, but the habit of many years is not so easy to change.Only when talking to close people or talking about cooking skills can he speak without hindrance.Today, Zhuo Yichen still can't communicate with strangers smoothly, especially in the ancient times where the hierarchy was extremely strict, and if he said a wrong sentence, his head would be lost, so Zhuo Yichen became more cautious and silent.In fact, not speaking easily is an excellent protection strategy.

After Shao Ningzhong explained to him, Zhuo Yichen raised his eyes slightly, his gaze skipped over King Jing, he quickly nodded his head to express his apology for not being able to speak, then lowered his head again, and stood with his hands hanging by his side.

Prince Jing is not like the people in the Shao Mansion who are used to understanding Zhuo Yichen's eyes and movements. He didn't see the meaning in Zhuo Yichen's eyes, but only noticed that the person in front of him had a pair of dark and beautiful eyes.

"Since Mr. Zhuo doesn't like to speak, I will keep the long story short." Prince Jing put aside the previous disappointment, and finally got to the point.

Shao Ning said in the middle: "Dare to ask my lord, what are the ingredients you mentioned?"

Prince Jing ordered the servant behind him, "Bring it up."

Zhuo Yichen inevitably felt a little uneasy, what if it was monkey brain, bear paw, salamander, etc.?He can't do this kind of cruel, fishy and even inhumane cooking, and the quality of a top swordsman will never allow the bottom line of morality to be touched for the sake of food.

Zhuo Yichen wasn't the only one who was worried, the people in Shao Ning's middle school, the back kitchen, and even the whole Shao family couldn't help feeling panicked.They had no choice but to accept the errands assigned by Prince Jing, but what should Prince Jing do to embarrass them? !

Soon, a servant came over with a large black box in both hands, and stood in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and their eyes fell on the strange big box, each wondering and speculating.

King Jing took a panoramic view of everyone's fearful and fearful reactions, and felt a sudden joy in his heart. He smiled slowly and said, "There's no need to be afraid. It doesn't contain tigers, wolves and leopards. This is the best food in the world."

The best in the world?Zhuo Yichen immediately had his own thoughts.

Shao Ning was startled, "Could it be..."

Prince Jing lifted the lid of the box lightly and deftly, revealing the real thing inside.Afterwards, the servant carried the uncovered box to the back kitchen and asked them to take a closer look.

Zhuo Yichen's expression didn't fluctuate much, but everyone else was in an uproar, and the voices of surprise and complaints kept coming and going.The underlings standing behind Zhuo Yichen looked at their chef as if they were asking for help, but Zhuo Yichen didn't respond except to raise his eyes, as if he only saw a piece of tofu.

In fact, Zhuo Yichen was somewhat surprised, the thing was indeed dangerous, but after all, it was almost the same as what he had guessed before, not as surprised as others.Besides, he is a modern person, after all, he has a much broader view on food and cooking than the ancients, so he still looks normal.

Prince Jing was watching the reactions of the people below with great interest, the more timid and fearful those people's reactions were, the more interested he was.A few people even knelt down and begged King Jing not to make things difficult for mediocre people like them.
