But on Kong Haoyu's side, they were in full swing to teach food, but Chen Pinchuan's side did not stop for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just after Chen Pinchuan left Jinfuxuan that day, he went directly to the Confucian Mansion. As soon as the carriage arrived outside the gate of the Confucian Mansion, Chen Pinchuan saw that Kong Liangbo was about to enter the door, so he hurriedly got off the carriage, chased after him quickly, and greeted: "Hello Master Kong!" ”

As soon as Kong Liangbo heard someone call him, he stopped and turned to look, and when he saw that it was Chen Pinchuan, he replied politely: "Yo, isn't this Chen Da Butler?" What kind of wind is blowing here today, blowing such a distinguished guest as you to the humble house of the lower officials? ”

"Master Kong, you see what you say." Chen Pinchuan smiled and replied, "Where am I a distinguished guest?" I have something I want to tell you, I don't know if it's convenient for you? ”

“……。” Kong Liangbo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied, "Well, then please come in." As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture and led Chen Pinchuan into the mansion.

When he arrived at the main hall, Kong Liangbo said politely: "Butler Chen, please take a seat." ”

"Master Kong doesn't have to be so polite, you can also sit." Chen Pinchuan replied.

"Hmm. Someone came to show the tea to Butler Chen. Kong Liangbo instructed the attendant who was waiting in the normal room. The attendant who got the order immediately turned around and went down to make tea for Chen Pinchuan. After the attendant left, Kong Liangbo asked, "What is the matter with Steward Chen's visit today?" ”

"Hmm. That is true. Chen Pinchuan replied, "I heard that Ling Gongzi's cooking skills are now a must, and it seems that the blue is better than the blue, so I would like to say to you first." ”

"Awards, awards." Kong Liangbo shook his head slightly and replied, "The dog's cooking skills are also very average, how can it be as good as you say." ”

"Master Kong is really too modest." Chen Pinchuan said, "You may have been busy in the palace kitchen for a long time, so I don't know how popular Ling Gongzi is outside now." Although the world doesn't know who the chef of Jin Fu Xuan is, Jin Fu Xuan's reputation is a household name in the whole capital. At this point, isn't Ling Gongzi better than blue? Shouldn't I have come to say hello to you? That's why I've got a gift for you. After speaking, he beckoned the person next to him to bring the wrapped gift.

"This is a gift I have carefully prepared for you, I hope you will enjoy it." After Chen Pinchuan took the gift, he handed it to Kong Liangbo as he spoke.

“……。” Kong Liangbo looked at Chen Pinchuan in a daze and said, "Butler Chen, ...... are you?" How can I, a useless one, receive your gift? As he spoke, he refused to accept the gift. Even if he didn't take it apart, he didn't want to accept it.

"Master Kong doesn't have to be polite. It's not a very expensive gift either. Chen Pinchuan replied, "You might as well take it apart first, if you don't like it, it's not too late to excuse yourself." I wouldn't mind either. ”

“……。” Kong Liangbo saw Chen Pinchuan's push, and he was very helpless in his heart, he knew Chen Pinchuan's identity very well, and knew that if he insisted on it again, he was afraid that he would offend Chen Zhao, so he would fall into a very embarrassing situation, so he had to take the gift from Chen Pinchuan and unpack it.

After opening the package, what was directly printed in Kong Liangbo's eyes were several books with yellowed covers. Kong Liangbo couldn't help but feel curious about these yellowed books, and he took the books in his hand and flipped through them gently. Only then did I realize that the basically yellowed book was a cooking book. Judging from the yellowing of the cover, Kong Liangbo judged that it should have been stored for some years. He held the book in his hand and flipped through it from time to time. The recipes recorded in the books are all dishes that are about to be lost in the past, and it doesn't matter if you look at them, Kong Liangbo suddenly fell in love with these books.

Chen Pinchuan, who was sitting on the side, immediately noticed Kong Liangbo's love for it, so he smiled and said, "How about whether Master Kong likes it?" ”

“……。” Kong Liangbo nodded calmly, and at this time, the attendant brought the brewed tea, Kong Liangbo held the book in the palm of his hand and said, "Please drink tea from Butler Chen." This tea was brought by a relative of mine, and it is the new tea of this year, please try it. ”

Chen Pinchuan picked up the tea bowl and smelled it lightly, then tasted it lightly, and replied: "This tea exudes a faint fragrance from the taste, which makes people feel very fresh. Good tea. Can you tell me what kind of tea this is? ”

"The name of this tea is Maojian." Kong Liangbo replied, "If you use it well, I'll ask someone to bring you a pack, which is my little respect." ”

As he spoke, he instructed the attendant beside him, "Someone come and get a bag of hair tips for Butler Chen." As soon as the words fell, the attendant beside him bowed respectfully and went down to fetch tea for Chen Pinchuan.

As soon as the attendant left, Chen Pinchuan hurriedly said: "Master Kong, you are really polite, I just asked what kind of tea it is, I don't mean to fight with you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Kong Liangbo replied. But for the books in his hand, Kong Liangbo really likes it, and he really can't let go.

Chen Pinchuan also saw that Kong Liangbo liked these books very much, so he asked, "Master Kong, what do you think of these books?" Do you like this gift? ”

“……。” After listening to Chen Pinchuan's inquiry, Kong Liangbo reluctantly looked at the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Chen Pinchuan calmly, and said, "How should I say this?" These books are very rare in the next few books. It is also very precious, and judging from the yellowed cover, I also know that these books should have been collected for a long time. But then again, I'm just a royal chef, how can I accept such a valuable gift from you? ”

"As the old saying goes: swords for heroes, pink for beauties, these books are specially prepared for you by our master." Chen Pinchuan replied, "Our master said that these books are stored on the bookshelf at home anyway, so it is better to give them to the owner to whom he should belong." So in other words, it's equivalent to a return to Zhao. Take it as you like. Don't say anything expensive. Otherwise, we will live up to our master's wishes. ”

"Well, that'...... All right. Kong Liangbo replied, "Then I'll take it." Please say thank you to Chen Xiangye for me when I go back. ”

"You're welcome." Chen Pinchuan took another sip of tea and replied with a smile.

"But then again." Kong Liangbo always felt that Chen Zhao, a good and decent person who sent someone to give gifts, must not be "returning to Zhao" as Chen Pinchuan said, and he had some doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Butler Chen shouldn't be just to give me these books, right?" Is there anything else going on? (To be continued.) )
