The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu wiped out 40 enemy troops with only 1 troops, and in the Battle of Feishui, the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated more than [-] former Qin troops with [-] troops [[-]]. Nothing is impossible in this world.

In the end, Chu Chu really won the game, and felt relieved. He thought, if the Ling Kingdom really fought the Chuan Kingdom for the last time, would it not be destroyed?

In the end, I don't know, fighting a war is different from playing chess. It is about the right time, location, and harmony of people. There are too many variable factors.

Gu Zhai held the white piece that was swallowed first in his hand, instead of throwing it back into the chess basket, he gripped it even tighter, and quietly hid it in his sleeve.

He smiled helplessly: "The winner is already divided, Heizi has nowhere to go, you win."

Then he said: "The bet made before is valid, what can Madam need this general to do?"

Chu Chu was surprised to find that Gu Zhai didn't seem to be as defensive towards him as before. Maybe it was because of his admiration for capable people, or maybe it was because he regarded him as a respectable opponent through a game of chess. A degree of favoritism.

"Observe first, and then ask the general for help when there is something unsolvable in the future." Chu Chu spoke nicely, and told Gu Zhai to go down the steps with a sense of current affairs.

As generals who were hostile to each other in the previous life, Chu Chu had some respect for Gu Zhai in his heart. He should not be a person who can lead an army without being frank.

There are too many things in his mind, the scene in the dream, Gu Zhai's obstinate and crazy appearance, so he dare not be completely unguarded against him, just like Xia Yi said, they are deadly enemies on the battlefield for five years.

Gu Zhai and Chu Chu didn't stay in the princess's mansion for too long, which is not in line with the etiquette system. Moreover, it will cause outsiders to speculate wildly. There are rumors that the general's mansion treated the new wife harshly, and the wife stayed at her mother's house and refused to return. Goofy jokes from the General's Mansion.

The carriage came and went as it was, Gu Zhai specially ordered the coachman to drive slowly, and let the coachman drive the carriage around the capital more often.

I don't know where the news came from earlier, but someone privately spread that he was very indifferent to his new wife, and even rumored that the two of them hadn't shared the same bed so far!

Although ninety-nine percent of these words are true...but the words of the people in Shangjing are formidable, if he doesn't do anything, the general's mansion will lose face.

Therefore, Chu Chu thought that the carriage went all the way to the General's Mansion smoothly, but he didn't expect that there was no movement of stopping for a long time, so he looked at Gu Zhai suspiciously.

"The general remembers that Madam seems to be in poor health, so go to Baicao Hall, buy some high-quality ginseng for Madam, and see if there are any other good tonic herbs, and buy them all." Gu Zhai said.

The wheels rumbled forward and stopped.

"Madam, do you like sweets? Go to Zuixianju and bring those ice water tremella, rock sugar bird's nest soup, lucky rolls, milk water chestnut cake, honey peanuts, etc., as well as the top brands of Zuixianju. Dishes, such as rouge foie gras, steamed duck fermented with wine, braised yellow croaker, and steamed crabs, should also be delivered to the General's Mansion," Gu Zhai said again.

As a result, the rumors in the neighborhood and alleys were self-defeating, and the wind changed. Everyone praised Gu Zhai for loving his new wife very much. The previous rumors were not true!

Because when the servants of the general's mansion were ordered to buy these medicinal materials and eat food, they all shouted loudly:

"General Zhanshen wants to buy tonics for his wife. All the medicinal materials that are ranked in the store are packed, and the money will be sent to the general's mansion~"

"General Zhanshen wants to buy delicious food for his wife. Each of your sweets and top dishes from Zuixianju will be packaged and sent to the general's mansion, and the money will go to the general's mansion~"

It's true that it's not just Baicaotang and Zuixianju. Gu Zhai ordered the driver to stop in front of many of the famous shops in the capital, even when they were married. In the silk and satin shop where I bought clothes, the phrase "Money goes to the General's Mansion" was called out countless times.

At first Chu Chu thought it was quite interesting, and would lift the curtain for a while to look at it from time to time, but after that, his face was expressionless, and he was tossing around with Gu Zhai, anyway, it wasn't his money that was spent, just... so Gu Zhai is rich.

This matter can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire Shang capital, everyone knew that the God of War in the General's Mansion loved his wife very much.

Everyone in the world relishes the saying: "Buying all over the capital in one day, a hero is no match for a beauty."

The first time Gu Zhai sat down to eat with Chu Chu was due to his own sins.

That big table of dishes ordered from Zuixianju, he ate alone, no, finished...

From Chu Chu’s point of view, it is necessary to do a full set of plays. Although he knew that Gu Zhai was going to show it to people outside the house, he was able to enjoy so many Sichuan delicacies because of this. After all, people who eat people have soft mouths. This is a good sound It's okay to be angry.

He almost tasted the dishes he ordered one by one. There was no shortage of delicious food in the princess mansion before, but they were not as appetizing as these folk flavors.

In particular, his mother-in-law of the princess has been using his health as an excuse to avoid a lot of food in the mansion. The meals in the mansion of the princess are famous for being light and nutritious, and he is so hungry that he complains in his heart.

While Chu Chu was eating, he still didn't forget to secretly pay attention to Gu Zhai's preferences. Gu Zhai seemed to be not interested in these foods. He picked some of them and moved his chopsticks a few times, and then he didn't continue.

Chu Chu thought: Maybe he likes to eat salty food?Most of the desserts on the table are his favorite sweets, it's hard for him, so let's help him eat more.

Gu Zhai looked at Chu Chu stretching out his chopsticks for almost every dish, and the frequency was increasing visible to the naked eye, and thought to himself: Could it be that the princess' mansion is an out-and-out foodie?

Suddenly some scary thoughts came to his mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat: If he can eat like this, the food expenses in the future may be... If he wants to order a large table of Zuixianju from time to time like today, he is a little bit Er Xiao can't bear it, does he want to invite more cooks back...

After the Battle of Chuanling was over, Gu Zhai was free when he returned to Beijing. Apart from occasionally inviting his friend Weng Hexuan to eat, drink and race horses, he spent most of his time in the general's mansion. In addition, he just got married, so it was not convenient for Gu Zhai to go out of the mansion often. , bored in the study all day long.

Chu Chu was also bored in her room, and everyone seemed to be in peace as they were doing their own things.

But in the eyes of the servants, this is not the case. The two masters do not communicate with each other, but it is not good!

They all speculated whether the madam had annoyed the general somewhere, for fear that there would be some discord between the two in the general's mansion.

So someone went to report it to Huang Na. Huang Na is the general's nurse, and her words are more important than them. It is reasonable to preach to the general.

Huang Na thought the same way, although the two got married according to the decree, how could they keep themselves locked in the room.

However, Huang Nai wanted to have a nice talk with the general and the general's wife that day, and wanted to persuade someone to go out of the room for a walk, but for the first time, the servant told his wife to leave the room early in the morning. There were people, and went to the big kitchen.

Huang Mo wondered inwardly: Why does this lady go to the big kitchen where the people stay so well, is it because she dislikes the food cooked in the big kitchen and wants to reprimand her as the mistress?

Thinking of this, Huang Na hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed to the big kitchen. The big kitchen is full of old people who have stayed in the general's mansion for a long time. They don't look at the monk's face to look at the Buddha's face. It is necessary to intercede.

I didn't think about it, I thought it would be the mistress Liwei as expected, and after a lot of scolding, when Huang Nai turned around and went to the big kitchen, but was quiet around, Huang Ma gently lifted the door curtain and cat waist When I went in, I found that Chu Chu was busy up and down in front of the case in a bib, and he was actually cooking!

"You don't know how to be respectful, how can you let Madam cook!" Huang Ma asked sharply.

"Huangma forgive me... I'm waiting... Madam herself said that she would cook for herself..." The group of people replied tremblingly, all in a low voice.

Chu Chu looked up at Huang Ma, and said, "Don't blame Huang Ma, I asked for the cook myself."

Chu Chu's youthful voice was soft and gentle, like spring rain falling in his ears, and Huang Nam's anger was extinguished by six or seven points at once. In addition, his face was really beautiful, he smiled shyly at Huang Nam, and in the end he even The remaining three or four points also disappeared without a trace.

Huang Na hurriedly smoothed things over, she said: "Ma'am, why bother to go this far in person, you can tell your servants to do whatever you want to eat, if you don't have it in the house, you can ask someone to buy it outside, you don't have to worry about it yourself It’s a rough job, if you let outsiders know that we treated Madam harshly, the general will blame you if he finds out.”

Chu Chu complained in his heart, Gu Zhai probably wouldn't be bothered by this matter, although they were husband and wife in name, but he didn't have the heart to love him, bah, he didn't.

"Thanks to the general, I ate a lot of good food the day before yesterday. It happened that I also knew some cooking methods. I felt itchy for a while, so I wanted to make some for the general myself." Chu Chu said.

Hearing this, Huang Na not only stopped being angry, but also felt happy in her heart. Isn't this Madam taking the initiative to show her kindness to Brother Zhai?

In this way, their general's mansion can finally gain a good reputation of harmony from top to bottom. She doesn't ask for anything else when the eldest son marries into the mansion. Those who can't count on this one may have to find another woman to enter the mansion in the future.

Chu Chu didn't know about Huang Na's careful thoughts, and only cared about the work at hand.

Many years ago, when he was still Tao Jiang, he worked as a coolie in the Huotou Camp of the Ling Army at first. Later, the cooking masters in the Huotou Camp saw that he was clever and willing to learn how to cook, and trained him as his successor. There are a lot of cooking techniques, although they are not as exquisite and beautiful as the meals made by famous chefs in the capital, but the taste cannot be faulted.

Even after he became a general, the soldiers in the army who had tasted his cooking skills were always thinking about the dishes he cooked, and from time to time begged him to cook to reward their brothers next time.

Therefore, Chu Chu is very confident. He can conquer the stomachs of thousands of soldiers, but can't he conquer one Gu Zhai?

He immediately called out: "Madam Huang, please prepare me some milk and a skin bag, I need it urgently."

Gu Zhai is a general and a foreign official, so he doesn't need to go to the court every day, especially after he is tired of the flattery in the court, besides answering the call, he can't wait to avoid those courtiers who are clamoring to join him every day, so as not to miss a word There was a quarrel, which made him want to grab and beat up those powerless ministers.

This day he finished his martial arts practice in the courtyard as usual, and then took a bath with soup, feeling hungry, he passed on breakfast.

When the meal was ready, Gu Zhai picked up a piece of pancake from the plate closest to him, bit into his mouth, and chewed, "What is this?" He had eaten pancakes in the army before, but it didn't taste like this.

"Returning to the general, Madam baked it in the kitchen herself. I heard from Madam that it is called 'pie'. It is made of buckwheat noodles and stuffed with beef, mutton and pork." The cloth vegetable girl replied cleverly beside her.

"Madam did it?" Gu Zhai asked in surprise.

"Today's breakfast is cooked by Madam herself," said the girl.

That little sick boy can still cook?

Gu Zhai nodded, and stretched out his chopsticks into the steaming small copper pot to tinker with the contents.

It happened that Chu Chu also came to have dinner together after he was busy, and when he saw Gu Zhai fishing for food, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't fish, there is nothing in it, only some ingredients I put in."

After hearing this, Gu Zhai threw his chopsticks on the table and said in a daze, "I thought Madam would be sympathetic to wash my hands and make soup for me. I never wanted to tease this general on purpose, so I won't eat it!"

Chu Chu was afraid that Gu Zhai would be petty and throw away his chopsticks, so he took out a small dagger and flew a knife to cut off more than a dozen thin slices of meat from the plate, scalded a full chopstick in boiling water, and scooped up the meat immediately when the color of the meat changed. Take it out, put it on a plate, add fine salt and seasonings, and push it in front of Gu Zhai.

Chu Chu's operation was very useful in Gu Zhai's eyes. He picked up the chopsticks again and sent a piece of thin meat to his mouth. The taste seemed to be not bad.

"This is mutton, but how can the mediocre 'clear mutton' be so delicious?" Gu Zhai asked Chu Chu while eating.

"It is indeed mutton, but it is not stewed. Only cut the meat into thin slices and scald it in the boiling soup. It is tender but not raw. It is served with seasoning and fine salt. In this soup, I also Put a lot of pepper, star anise, etc., oily but not greasy, and more appealing to the appetite." Chu Chu corrected him.

"Then what is this?"

"Hand grilled lamb."

"what about this?"

"Sheep blood sausage."

"Could it be another sheep?"

"This is not, it's dried beef."

"Finally I know, milk wine! It looks like the way of eating in the north." Gu Zhai raised his glass and took a sip.

Chu Chu also started to move his chopsticks, he said: "It is indeed from the north, but unfortunately it is not the northern cattle and sheep, it is not authentic enough, the general likes it?"

"It's rare to taste this kind of flavor in Beijing. I don't know that Madam still has such a skill. I don't know how many secrets Madam still has." Before Chu Chu could answer, he murmured to himself, "Oh, Husband forgot that Madam's current bodyguard is from the north."

Chu Chu choked on the word "for husband" after taking a sip of milk wine, and quickly swallowed two more mouthfuls, pretending to be flattered, but his ears betrayed him.

Gu Zhai looked at the earlobes that were gradually turning red, and secretly hated him, isn't he a romantic and dissolute person, why is he so shy, just because he mentioned his sweetheart?

Gu Zhai gulped down the wine in his glass, and said coldly: "The General's Mansion still has some shops in Shangjing, one of which is a wine shop, seeing how Madam can make milk wine, I can leave it to Madam to take care of it. "

Depending on how your sweetheart teaches you how to make good milk wine, what I can give you is a wine shop, the best shop in the capital.

Chu Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that after the big wedding of Chuan Kingdom, some of the family's finances would be handed over to the head mother. Gu Zhai's move, could it be that he recognized the meaning of the general's wife?Then he seems to have bought this meal well.
