The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

Are you hungry? I'll cook a bowl of porridge for you. "

Ding Zhiyuan nodded, he was really hungry after being reminded by Quilt Xiu.The palm was broken and he lost a lot of blood, and there was no food supplement. Hunger was inevitable.His face was pale and his lips were a little chapped.

Zixiu fed him a few sips of water before getting up to cook porridge.

After feeding the porridge, the medical officer came to change Ding Zhiyuan's medicine again. Zixiu couldn't bear to look at the tragic wound, so he just stood outside the door and looked at the sky silently.He thought, if the elder brother can no longer work, he will take care of him. He can buy a house for the elder brother outside the palace, and then hand over the monthly allowance to the elder brother. As long as he is alive, he will I won't let big brother suffer any more.

After a few days like this, Ding Zhiyuan's injury gradually stabilized, Zixiu also returned to the imperial dining room, and began to cook for the empress dowager and the emperor.

One night, Kangxi asked about Ding Zhiyuan's situation, and Zixiu expressed his thoughts, but Kangxi immediately objected.

Kangxi said with a dark face: "You want to raise him for the rest of your life? Do you... know what this means?"

Zixiu said: "I know that life is forever. I don't need to marry a wife or have children, but senior brother, I will not abandon him."

"I won't allow it!" Kangxi growled.

"Then what do you say? You want me to ignore him? He became like this because of me, how can I ignore him?" Zixiu was also a little angry, how many people would stare at and ridicule the elder brother who lost his left hand , Kangxi would never know.

Kangxi took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down. He pulled Zixiu over, smoothed his brows and eyes, and said, "Have you forgotten that I am the emperor? I can keep him well-fed and well-fed for the rest of his life, but you, don't you?" You can be with him because of this. I don't want to hear you say that you will support him for the rest of your life, I will be sad. "

He kissed Zixiu on the face, Zixiu also calmed down, and said: "Brother will not accept your property."

"Will he accept yours if he doesn't accept mine?"

Zixiu was speechless, it was true, if he didn't accept the emperor's things, let alone his own.But he couldn't ignore Ding Zhiyuan just because of this.

Seeing that Zixiu was sad, Kangxi rested his chin on his shoulder, bit his ear, and said, "I have an idea, isn't Ding Zhiyuan the imperial chef? If a restaurant is opened outside the palace, it will definitely attract many customers. Not only can you make money, but you can also slowly exercise one hand to cook, why not do it?"

Zixiu was startled, and turned his head happily, but ended up kissing Kangxi's lips. Of course, Kangxi would not refuse anyone who came, and he didn't stop until he was so breathless.

Zixiu let him hug him softly, and said: "You have a good idea, but who will pay for the restaurant?"

Kangxi pecked his lips again, and said: "Of course I did it, who made him your savior. How about this, how about I inscribe it myself and give him a plaque?"

"That would be great. With the emperor's personal writing, I believe no one would dare to make trouble. Then can I go and see it on the opening day?" Zixiu asked expectantly.

"I'll go with you, I want to see it too."

Just do what you say, Kangxi asked Liang Jiugong to go out to find a house on the second day. It was originally a restaurant, but because the owner couldn't keep it open and wanted to sell the house, they let them take a bargain.

After finding the house, they began to renovate it. All this was going on in secret, only waiting for the day when Ding Zhiyuan came out of the palace to take over.

Zixiu didn't tell Ding Zhiyuan about this, he wanted to give him a surprise. Ding Zhiyuan's injury has improved in the past few days, but his mood has been sluggish.Zixiu wanted to speak out several times, but in the end he held back.

When it was early April, Ding Zhiyuan had almost recovered from his injuries, and was about to leave the palace the next day.That night, Zixiu, Cheng Li and Congyuan gathered together to prepare a farewell banquet for Ding Zhiyuan.

"After this trip, I don't know when we will meet again, Zhiyuan, what are you going to do when you leave the palace?" Cheng Li was also very sad that his most valued disciple had suffered such a misfortune.

Ding Zhiyuan said: "I haven't made up my mind yet, I want to go to the restaurant and see if anyone is willing to take me in."

A few people felt sad for a while, who would want a cook who lost one hand?Even if he used to be an imperial chef, if he can't cook now, he is like a useless person.

Pulling Ding Zhiyuan's arm from afar, he said, "Master, you must work hard, and if you have any difficulties, please tell us."

Ding Zhiyuan patted his head with a smile, nodded: "I will."

The meal was so depressing, Zixiu would have been even more sad if he hadn't been prepared.Tomorrow no matter what, Eldest Brother will take over the restaurant. The title deed of the restaurant is written in Eldest Brother's name, so he has to accept it, or not.

The next day, Ding Zhiyuan woke up very early, looking at the place where he had lived for several months, his heart felt sad.It has always been his dream to become an imperial chef, but he never thought that something like this would happen after only a few months of doing it. Now, he has no chance anymore.

Forget it, the wish is nothing, no matter what, he at least once had it.

A person left the palace silently, and Zixiu watched his leaving back from a distance, feeling lonely and lonely.

When Ding Zhiyuan went to the street, pedestrians walked up and down in twos and threes, feeling so strange.He kept walking, not knowing where he was going or what to do.

Suddenly, two tall men blocked his way, they covered his mouth involuntarily, and kidnapped him in his astonishment and fear.

Why do you do this?Who is going to kill him?Who has he offended?

A series of questions came to mind, but the two of them ran all the way, ignoring him at all.Not long after, the two brought him to a well-decorated restaurant. The clerk inside took a look at him and said, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Absolutely not wrong." One of his captors replied.

"Okay, this is your reward, let's go." The guy gave the two a bank note, and the two left happily.

Ding Zhiyuan was full of doubts, standing there wanting to run but not daring to run: "Who are you?"

The guy bowed to him and said with a happy smile, "Welcome the boss. The younger one is called Chu Yi. He will act as the shopkeeper temporarily. Boss, this is the title deed." He handed a piece of paper to Ding Zhiyuan, and Ding Zhiyuan took it with his hand, but his mind was still Did not respond.

After reading the information on the paper, he felt dizzy for a while. Who will tell him what is going on?

"Eldest brother, do you like this restaurant?" A familiar voice came from outside the door, and then saw Zixiu and... Kangxi with a happy face!

Ding Zhiyuan was startled, he wanted to kneel down and salute, but he restrained himself.He stood there at a loss, staring at Zixiu dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Zixiu said: "This is a gift from us, now we are waiting for you to come over and open the business, brother, don't be dazed anymore, come out quickly."

He dragged Ding Zhiyuan out of the restaurant. At some point, hundreds of people had already gathered outside. Among the crowd were two dazzling lion dance teams, and the sound of gongs and drums was loud, celebrating the opening of the restaurant.

After the lion dance team stopped, the first day of the junior high school stepped forward and announced: "Today is the opening day of my 'Yushan Restaurant', and our boss Ding Zhiyuan, Boss Ding, will unveil the red cloth next."

There were bursts of cheers from the crowd, Ding Zhiyuan was still a little overwhelmed, Zixiu said: "Brother, hurry up and uncover the red cloth."

"Oh." Ding Zhiyuan replied, climbed up the ladder, and tore off the red silk on the plaque.Cheers erupted from the crowd, and at the same time, firecrackers sounded, pushing the atmosphere to the highest point.

"Today, our 'Yushan Restaurant' is open for free, everyone can eat and drink as much as they want, everyone, please come inside." Liang Jiugong is indeed a person specially selected by Liang Jiugong on the first day of the new year, and he is very good at grasping the hearts of the masses.

As soon as his voice fell, people rushed into the restaurant one after another, Ding Zhiyuan was pushed aside, staring at these people blankly.Zixiu laughed out loud, if he were Ding Zhiyuan, he might still be confused as to what was going on.

Several people went to the private room, and a waiter served them tea. Zixiu explained the matter in detail. He thought that Ding Zhiyuan would strongly object, but Ding Zhiyuan cried out loudly.

"Zixiu, senior brother will definitely live up to your hard work. He will definitely take care of this restaurant. If you have nowhere to go in the future, senior brother will be your home." He felt a chill just after he finished speaking, and he hit With a shudder, he realized that it was Kangxi staring at him coldly.

Zixiu also felt Kangxi's chill, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, brother, haha."

Kangxi became more and more upset, Zixiu had nowhere to go?Doesn't that mean he will become a heartbreaker?This Ding Zhiyuan, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have helped him!

After lunch in the restaurant, Zixiu and Kangxi went back to the palace.In the carriage, Kangxi hugged Zixiu unhappily, and Zixiu said, "Are you still angry? Senior brother doesn't know about us."

"Hmph, he's talking nonsense, so stay away from him in the future."

"Hehe, actually, I think what my brother said is right. Who knows what will happen in the future? I'm just a cook after all. In this life, meeting you is already a great blessing." Zixiu leaned in Kangxi's arms , smiling slightly.

Kangxi hugged him tighter, he didn't like Zixiu saying that, he liked Zixiu, he loved Zixiu, he wanted Zixiu to stay by his side forever.But... this is actually very unfair to Zixiu. He has many concubines and concubines, and will have many children, but Zixiu has only him.

Thinking of this, he felt more pity for Zixiu, and he swore secretly that he would never let Zixiu get hurt again.
