Emperor made a pair

It was hot summer, and the air was hot and dry. Although the palace had planted many big trees, it was still difficult to stop the heat waves one after another.

Long Teng is located in the south, besides the heat, there is also an unbearable tide. Yun Tian was sweating all over after a while in the courtyard. I was completely naked, and I jumped in with a "plop", and then I felt refreshed all over.

He soaked comfortably in the barrel, and suddenly wanted to eat something refreshing.

So Yun Tian waited for his body to cool down, put on his clothes, and walked towards the garden of the palace.

This garden occupies about one-fifth of the area of ​​the palace, with a lotus lake in the center.The lotus roots in the lake have matured, and Yuntian's target is exactly them.

He rolled up his trouser legs, pinned the hem of his coat around his waist, and carefully groped into the water, reaching under the lotus leaves.

After Yuntian touched a few lotus roots, he finally straightened up contentedly. As a result, when he looked up, he suddenly saw a handsome young man in the gazebo opposite him looking at him with subtle eyes.

Yun Tian was calm on the surface, but roared in an extremely messy heart: Why do people notice me every time I am in a wretched state? !And every time the person who looks at me is a handsome man!Why? !

With grief and indignation in his chest, he pretended to be calm and returned with the lotus root in his arms, but at this moment the man called out: "My lord, please stay!"

There is no one else around here, Yuntian can be [-]% sure that he is calling him, so he turned his head coolly: "My lord, I am just a cook in the palace, if you need anything, please go out along the garden gate, turn right, and look for Mr. Zhang. "

The young man in Tsing Yi shook the precious folding fan with beautiful jade hanging on it, and couldn't help but said: "...Sister-in-law really loves to joke."

Yun Tian: "..."

When Zhao Haiqing arrived, he saw his wife was covered in mud, holding a lotus root in her arms, staring at her younger brother.

King Xi made a bow to Yun Tian, ​​then smiled at Zhao Hai: "Third brother, are you here all right?"

Yun Tian tried his best to ignore Zhao Haiqing's playful eyes, and said honestly, "I'll make cold dishes first."

Zhao Haiqing nodded: "Well, remember to send a copy after mixing."

"..."

──Damn it, you really treat me like a cook!

After Yun Tian left angrily, King Xi took out a booklet from his pocket and put it in front of Zhao Haiqing calmly.

"Everything is up to the top...Third brother can study it carefully."

Zhao Haiqing opened it and looked at it, showing approval: "Although this Fan Hongyi is a woman, her methods are not ordinary."

"Indeed, a smart woman like her is definitely qualified to stand beside Third Brother," Xi Wang said meaningfully, "After Third Brother came back, he hasn't visited her once. Hongyi must also be very lonely."

Zhao Haiqing only admired Fan Hongyi, and had no love for men and women, so he just smiled and shook his head when he heard the words, and did not express his opinion.

Xi Wang Zhao Huayao is the fifth eldest among his brothers, only half a year younger than the king Zhao Xuanyu.He has no interest in civil and martial arts since he was a child, but he is only interested in business.Zhao Huayao has never been in the limelight in the court. It can be said that he is an unknown prince. However, under his secret management these years, nearly [-]% of the property in Beijing has fallen into his control, not to mention those big and small in other places. Quite a few people on the land with horses and chariots.Zhao Huayao is now young, but he is already one of the most wealthy people in the world.

Seeing Zhao Haiqing's indifferent attitude towards Fan Hongyi, he changed the subject and asked, "What's happened recently, Your Majesty?"

"There is a grain shortage in Chizhou. Your Majesty ordered this king to escort Mr. Zhou to deposit grain to alleviate the disaster. We will be leaving in about three days."

"Three days? Isn't that very urgent? I just came back from Yunzhou, and I haven't had time to entertain my third brother. Why are you leaving now?"

"It's okay, it's more comfortable to drink a little wine like this."

"No, no, doesn't it make me seem ignorant as a younger brother? How about this, I will reserve a seat at Bihai Xiangrui Building tonight, and then invite Xinru and Lianyue to let the third brother feel comfortable .”

Zhao Huayao shook his fan playfully and flirtatiously, with a narrowness in his eyes that all men can understand.

After all, Zhao Haiqing is only in his 20s, he is a young man with a vigorous blood, so he is naturally unwilling to reject such soft and fragrant jade.So he nodded in agreement, and happily clinked glasses with his fifth brother for a drink.

Not long after, Yuntian returned with a plate of lotus root slices, seeing Zhao Haiqing talking and laughing happily with his younger brother, while he was serving them like a little slave, he couldn't help feeling angry, put the plate on the table with a "slap", Smiling but not laughing, he said: "Take it easy, both of you."

Zhao Haiqing raised his eyes and looked at him, completely ignoring his losing his temper. Zhao Huayao thanked Yun Tian very politely, and extended an invitation: "Sister-in-law, too, shall we have some wine and vegetables?"

"Alright, this wine smells pretty good." Yun Tian sat down without any "reservation", but he didn't sit next to Zhao Haiqing, but next to Zhao Huayao, which surprised the two of them.

As soon as King Xi saw the atmosphere between the two, he knew that their relationship was weak.That's right, King Ning is a hero. Since ancient times, a beauty has matched a hero. How could this idiot-like kid attract the third brother's attention?

But when Zhao Huayao picked up the soy lotus root slices made by Yuntian and put it into his mouth, he immediately withdrew his previous thoughts.

──This lotus root is sour, fragrant and spicy, with a sweet aftertaste, crisp and refreshing, and it is much more delicious than many delicate dishes he has eaten!

Now even Zhao Haiqing looked at Yuntian in surprise, "My concubine also knows how to cook?"

"I can't cook big meals, and home-cooked dishes are not a problem." Yun Tian is a broken sleeve, and he never thought of marrying a wife to wash and cook for him, so many things are done by himself. art.

Zhao Huayao ate a few more mouthfuls in surprise, and praised: "I never imagined that we can cook lotus root with chili pepper. Third sister-in-law, if it is convenient, can you write down the recipe of this dish and give me a copy?" His restaurant just lacks a few fresh cool dishes.

Yun Tian originally thought that they would only compliment a few words out of politeness, but judging by Zhao Huayao's attitude, it seemed that he really didn't care about this ordinary lotus root slices.

Yun Tian said leisurely: "As the saying goes, cannibals are soft-mouthed and soft-handed. You have already eaten my dishes, and I can't bear to let you be soft-hearted again. How about this? I'll sell you the recipe for 20 taels of silver, how about it?"

Zhao Huayao was slightly stunned, Zhao Haiqing narrowed his eyes and blamed: "Nonsense, how can there be any reason to ask for silver taels from my family, is this king treating you badly?"

Yun Tian argued hard: "Brothers are still clear about it, not to mention that I only need 20 taels, and your underpants are more than that, right?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Huayao waved his hand, "Sister-in-law San is really a good-natured person, I think this is a great idea, I don't get rewarded for nothing, and I can't take things from sister-in-law San for nothing—here, this is 20 taels of silver, Third sister-in-law, please take it away."

Zhao Haiqing really had no choice but to sigh and shake his head.

After noon the sun became less intense, Yun Tian changed into light clothes and went out with money in his pocket.

──Of course, the person in charge of the security work is still Yan Si.

The two came to the famous food street in central Beijing.There has always been a saying in the local area: If you want high-end food, you can go to Bihai Xiangrui Building; if you want delicious food, you can only come to Wanhua Food Street.

The food street is full of restaurants and teahouses of different styles, and even the street is full of many hawkers, fragrant steamed stuffed bun wontons, meat-stuffed oil cakes, and exquisite and delicious honey sesame sugar bean paste cakes, not to mention the braised elbow and lotus chicken , Yuntian walked and smelled all the way, all kinds of smells stimulated his saliva to flood.But today he is not here to eat, but to visit the field.

Yan Si wondered: "Young master, you want to find that 'hot pot'? I grew up in Longteng, and I have never heard of this kind of food..."

Yun Tian shook his head: "Since no one else has one, why don't we open a hot pot restaurant ourselves? It's not difficult to make."

──This is how it happened.

Two days ago, Yuntian wanted to eat hot pot, so he asked Ming Shu to order the dining room, but he didn't expect that in such a big palace, no one had ever heard of what "hot pot" was, and some even thought that the princess couldn't take it anymore and wanted to use pot as food. It really made Yuntian dumbfounded.

But although he didn't eat hot pot, he found a business opportunity from here──thanks to me, Longteng's people, you will have good food!

Yan Si saw that he was smiling so much that both rows of big teeth were exposed, and couldn't help but said: "Master, image, image..."

"Oh?!...Well, cough cough, yes, pay attention to your image." Yun Tian came back to his senses, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and walked forward again in his youthful appearance.

The two of them had just walked a few steps when there was a sudden loud roar in front of them, and then a thin figure stumbled out of a restaurant, lying on the ground like a dog, panting for breath.

A rough voice came out of the building with anger: "Get out! Don't add bad luck to me!"

Yun Tian couldn't bear this kind of bullying and abuse of children the most, so he rushed forward and shouted: "Why do you beat him?!"

Standing at the door of the restaurant was a big man with a thick back and waist, he pointed at the little boy angrily and retorted: "Where did you see that I beat him?! It's because he is so thin that he falls down when the wind blows, so he has something to do with me? !"

Yun Tian squatted next to the little boy, and saw that he had no obvious injuries, so he felt a little relieved, "You can't beat him if he is skinny, can you afford to kill him?"

"Bah! This little bastard has a mother but no father. He took a messy book and said it was a peerless recipe. I thought I was blind! Look at your dirty appearance. When guests see you, you will turn off your appetite. Do you want to do business!" He said and threw the book that was kneaded out of shape in his hand towards Yuntian and the two, Yan Siyan quickly grabbed the book in the air, and glanced coldly at the big man.

Seeing that Yun Tian was dressed in extraordinary clothes and the guards were skilled, the big man wondered if it was some grown-up son who was bumped into by him, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. They are all repeat customers! If you don’t mind the young master, please sit inside, and we will pick a piece of good meat to entertain you!"

Yun Tian still remembered the sallow and emaciated child in his arms, so he waved his hands coldly, "Yan Si, take him to a medical clinic."

The child was still a little delirious at first, but when Yan Siyi picked him up, he suddenly opened his eyes and yelled in fear: "Put me down! Let me down!"

Yan Si was afraid of falling on him, so he quickly and safely put him on the ground.As soon as his feet touched the ground, the little boy scrambled towards the wrinkled old book, hugged it tightly in his arms like protecting his beloved, and flinched all over.

Yun Tian sighed, "Books are belongings outside the body, how can they be more important than life? Be good, brother will take you to see a doctor."

"No, I don't see a doctor..." The little boy murmured and shook his head, barely stood up and took two steps, limping, as if he had limped on one foot.

Yun Tian hurriedly pulled him back, "You've become like this, why don't you go and treat it? Do you want to be crippled for the rest of your life?"

The little boy still shook his head: "No doctor...no money..."

Yun Tian couldn't help laughing: "You're worried about this? Don't worry, I'll cover your medical expenses!" As he spoke, he waved his hand smartly, "──Yan Si, pick it up and take it away!"
