Chapter 40: Actually, I have another identity

"Who? Who's calling me?"

Zhang Dongguan was preparing lunch for the emperor, when he suddenly heard someone shouting to him, and when he turned his head to look over, he found that there was no one else in the tent except the kitchen attendant who helped the cook.

"Master Zhang, what are you talking about?" a kitchen servant who was setting up a pot and lighting a fire asked Chef Zhang Dongguan curiously.

"Did anyone call me just now?" asked Zhang Dongguan.

"I didn't hear you. The cook looked around, then shook his head.

"Oh, that might be my old ears aren't working. Zhang Dongguan smiled and shook his head, more than 70 years old with the emperor to the south tour to eat, although the emperor is magnificent, given a thousand miles of horse, but it can not withstand the ruthlessness of the years, the bones of the horse are about to fall apart, I don't know when I can go back to my hometown to enjoy my old age, he is also ready to take advantage of the strength of the body, record all the food he knows in his life, and pass it on to future generations, and when he dies to God, it is also a merit.

Just as he was about to continue preparing the meal, the voice came from his ears again.

"Zhang Dongguan, Zhang Dongguan ......"

This time the voice was heard very clearly, Zhang Dongguan suddenly turned around, and looked at the few kitchen servants around him suspiciously, could it be that these descendants were using him for amusement? Or, did they bump into a ghost in broad daylight?

"Zhang Dongguan, you didn't hit a ghost, you just bumped into God. ”

"Oh my God?" Zhang Dongguan trembled, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a 'poof'. I really want God, God is here.

"Master Zhang, what's wrong with you?" The emperor didn't come here either, what was Master Zhang doing kneeling on the ground?

"No, it's okay, the leg pain is back again. Zhang Dongguan stood up tremblingly holding on to the makeshift stove, "You guys are busy first, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back in a while." As he spoke, he took off his apron and walked out in a panic.

The kitchen attendant looked at Zhang Dongguan's back strangely, and his heart was full of doubts: What's wrong with Master Zhang today?

Zhang Dongguan sneaked to a place where no one was, looked up at the sky, and asked in a low voice, "God, is it really you?"

"Naturally, it's me. ”

Zhang Dongguan looked left and right, except for the weeds, there was no one else, 'poof', Zhang Dongguan knelt on the ground again, the whole person was stupid, he had lived for more than 70 years, the first time he encountered this kind of thing, there was really God, but God had nothing to do with himself? Could it be that making breakfast for the emperor early in the morning and sneezing on the cauldron was known by God and wanted to collect himself?

"Oh my God, God, that sneeze in the morning was not deliberately hit by the villain, and the villain didn't hold back for a while, please spare the villain. Zhang Dongguan hurriedly kowtowed, he didn't want to die like this, and there were old women and children waiting for him to go home and enjoy his old age.

Li Dacheng, who was lying on the sofa, was slightly stunned when he saw the WeChat message sent by Zhang Dongguan, thinking that this old boy's courage is too small, right?

"Zhang Dongguan, do you know why I found you?"

"Isn't it a matter of sneezing?"

"Zhang Dongguan, you are a superb cook, you are extraordinary, I have heard a lot about you in the mortal world in heaven, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a cook by my side after death?"

"What?"

"Actually, I have another identity, which is what you often call the Lord of the Stove. ”

Lord Stove?

Zhang Dongguan was shocked in his heart, how could anyone who was a cook not worship the king of the stove? That is the god in charge of the stove, if he does not worship, the things he makes will definitely not be delicious, and when he was apprenticed to learn the art for many years, the first thing he did was not to kowtow to the master, but to kowtow to the king of the stove.

God is also the king of the stove? It's right to think about it, God is the sky, the supreme being, omniscient, omnipotent, multi-tasking, and it is normal to make a cameo appearance as the king of the stove once in a while, so isn't Heshen and the Lord also wearing multiple hats?

After he died, he went to work as a cook next to the Lord of the Stove? Didn't he become a god himself? It sounds like a great thing. However, being a god is secondary, if you can learn cooking skills from the Lord of the Stove, it will not be in vain in the next life.

"The villain is willing to learn from the Lord of the Stove after he dies. Zhang Dongguan said with a pious face.

"There are too many cooks who want to learn cooking from me after death, and the competition is very fierce, so let's make one more offering when you prepare a meal for the emperor in the future, one is to accumulate virtue, and the other is to let the immortals in the sky taste your craft, and I will speak for you at that time." ”

"Make one more? Okay, the villain remembers, thank you for your advice. Zhang Dongguan hurriedly said.

"Zhang Dongguan, in fact, you were a cook by my side in your previous life, because you often ate secretly, I was sent down to the mortal world and became a mortal, I didn't expect you to be a cook in the mortal world, it seems that your dedication to cooking is beyond my imagination, I am also for the sake of you and my previous life, I am here to enlighten you today, I hope you can do it yourself. ”

Zhang Dongguan's eyes widened, stunned to look at the sky, in his previous life was the entourage of the stove prince? No wonder he had a smooth sailing in his life, especially after learning from the teacher, he first became a cook in a large family, and then was recruited by the emperor to be the imperial kitchen in the imperial dining room, even if other cooks were punished and beheaded, he could be safe and sound, and he could sleep without worry, it turned out that he was under the protection of the stove prince, no wonder he had no worries about food and clothing all his life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dongguan not only burst into tears, but he didn't expect the Lord of the Stove to be so good to himself. I made a mistake in my previous life, and in this life, the Lord of the Stove still wants to take care of himself, and he also thinks about his next life, and he really breaks the heart of the Lord of the Stove.

"Lord Stove, the villain must remember your teachings, start cooking seriously from today, be honest, and live up to your old expectations of me. "Zhang Dongguan kowtowed three times, don't look at people in their 70s, when he gets excited, he is also a temperamental person.

"Okay, go back and prepare lunch for the emperor, don't forget me...... For that portion. ”

"Yes, the villain remembered. ”

The voice of the Lord of the Stove was gone, Zhang Dongguan hurriedly got up from the ground, and before he had time to pat the dust on his body, he hurried back to the tent, chopping vegetables and spooning, the whole person was refreshed, and his body was full of strength, as if he was dozens of years younger.

The kitchen attendant on the side was full of doubts, what is wrong with Master Zhang? Why did he go to the toilet and come back as if he had changed his spirit? It seems that the taste of 'urine coming like a mountain falling' is really uncomfortable, and it makes Master Zhang suffocated.

It didn't take long for Zhang Dongguan to prepare lunch. The southern tour camp is no better than in the palace, limited by the environmental conditions, the number of lunches is only half of the usual, only more than 30 dishes, and it can only be provided to the prince of the stove, if it is in the palace, it must be provided with seventy or eighty dishes.

After the emperor's lunch was taken away by the eunuchs, Zhang Dongguan sent away all the kitchen servants around him, and whispered to the more than 30 dishes on the case, "Lord Zao, you always try it first, the conditions of the southern tour camp are poor, and when you return to the palace, you must do your best to provide you with better meals." ”

Bite......

WeChat bell rang, Li Dacheng, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly unlocked the mobile phone, when he entered the dialog box with his friend Zhang Dongguan, the whole person was stunned, more than 30 pictures, each one is a big dish, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, each one is better than the PS pictures on the menu of the hotel, and Li Dacheng swallowed saliva when he saw it.

He just asked Zhang Dongguan to cook an extra dish for the emperor, could it be that the emperor had more than 30 dishes in one meal? Then the emperor's life is too good, right?

Li Dacheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and clicked on the pictures, one by one the pictures kept entering the shopping, each dish not only has a name, but also a price.

Stewed bird's nest with rock sugar: 8 taels of silver.

Salt fried meat: 5 taels of silver

Four treasures of white chopping: 9 taels of silver

Li Dacheng's eyes lit up, the emperor was so extravagant, this meal, to say the least, was a few hundred taels of silver, enough for ordinary people to eat for a few years.

No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, for the throne and brothers can fight to the death, it seems that the emperor is a foodie, and he has to fight for food.

On the other side, Zhang Dongguan was also stunned, watching the dishes he had carefully cooked disappear in front of him, feeling like he was in a dream.

The king of the stove has great powers. Lord Stove, you eat and drink well.
