Chapter 67
83_83499 Out of Guangde County, Du Qiyue and Qi Zining passed the test and won the kitchen competition of Yaohai County and Sanchuan County successively, and finally arrived in the capital of Dafeng Dynasty three months later.
This Dadu was originally a small city called Shengtian, and the capital was built here four hundred years ago, and it gradually developed into the largest city in the Dafeng Dynasty, and later everyone began to call it Dadu. Most of them were different from other large cities, the walls alone were much higher than in other places, and there were several times more soldiers defending the city. On the city wall, there was a burly soldier in armor standing every ten steps, Du Qiyue and them sat in the carriage, looking at it from a distance, they could only see a row of black pressure, shining under the big sun.
"Most of these are really different, and now they are so far away, just looking at this city wall, you can feel the majesty of the imperial city." Qi Zining leaned on the window of the carriage, looking at the towering city wall made of bluestone with a shocked face.
Du Qiyue looked at the soldiers standing straight on the city wall, and muttered: "Yes, we have to be careful after we go in, this city is full of palace nobles, and we will collide if we are not careful." ”
When I entered the official road, there were many luxurious carriages coming by on the side, and the windows of those cars were tightly closed, and there was no leakage at all. Even if they couldn't see the people sitting in the car, they could feel the calm appearance of the people inside, but Du Qiyue and Qi Zining had never seen the world like a hillbilly. So the two of them looked at it for a while, then retracted their heads and closed the window.
Although the car window was closed, he could still see the scene outside through the screen, Qi Zining put his face on the window, and said: "I don't know what those palace nobles look like, whether they are all handsome and good-looking, we come here this time, even if it is just to see it, it is worth it." ”
Du Qiyue grabbed a fruit from the food box and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Every time you go to a place and say something like this, I want to ask you where you go to see if it's worth it?" ”
"Naturally, it's worth it everywhere, if I stay in Qinan County, how can I see those fun people and things, and now even if I can't win the last cooking competition, I can boast to others for a lifetime in the past few months, why not." Qi Zining sat up straight and said, "When I go back, I'm going to get married, and when the time comes, I'll invite you over, and you have to give me a big gift." ”
"You really remember that I invited me over, I must have given you a big gift, but I can't afford to give it valuable, so I can only give you a table of good snacks." Du Qiyue said with a smile.
"Then you'll have to make a table of snacks that I haven't seen or eaten, or I won't accept them." Qi Zining said with a smile.
"Just do it. But you're only a few months older than me, why are you going to get married, I see that you're still like a child, will you pull your daughter-in-law to play with you after marrying? Du Qiyue joked.
"It was my temperament that broke away from my father and mother that made me marry earlier, saying that I could settle down when I became a family. Le Ya, you should be married when you are so old, when are you going to get married, don't forget to invite me over when the time comes! Qi Zining said.
Du Qiyue sighed, "I haven't decided to marry yet, and I don't know when I will get married." ”
However, the reason why he won the game so desperately this time was because of his marriage, but the result was too slim.
Qi Zining saw Du Qiyue's sad face, only thinking that he was unhappy because he was so old and didn't make a marriage, so he patted Du Qiyue's shoulder and said: "Le Ya, you are so handsome, and you are a scholar, and you are afraid that you will not be able to marry a wife." In this way, when I go back, I will introduce all the girls and brothers of our family to you, and let you choose the ones you like. ”
"What are these words?" Du Qiyue only felt ridiculous when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, but their carriage stopped suddenly, and both of them almost rushed to the ground, only to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves passing by the side, and then there was the sound of chaos outside.
Qi Zining was the first to slow down, and while pushing the window to look at the situation outside, he asked in a loud voice, "What's going on?" What happened? ”
"Young master, just now a carriage suddenly came out of the side, and the little one stopped in order to avoid it." The coachman who was driving the car hurriedly replied, listening to the sound of some panic, he should have been startled just now.
Qiu'er was originally sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage with the coachman, but at this moment she ran to the side of the window, looked at Du Qiyue and asked, "Du Langjun, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, is the carriage outside all right?" Du Qiyue tidied up the crooked bun and asked, "Are there many people in this capital who drive carriages like this?" ”
"That's Prince Rong'an's carriage, driving so fast, it should be the prince's son sitting in it, probably from hunting outside. The prince was naturally short-tempered, and he couldn't bear to swallow things slowly, so he was like this every time he rode a horse or a carriage. However, it was just outside the city, and no one dared to run so fast when he entered the city, so Lang Jun didn't have to worry about encountering such a thing. Qiu'er said.
"The Prince?! We haven't even entered the city yet, but we have met the prince! Qi Zining said in surprise.
"Young Master Qi, don't be too happy." Qiu'er covered her mouth and put her head into the car window, and whispered to Du Qiyue and Qi Zining: "None of the five princes' sons is a fuel-efficient lamp, and this one is the most unprovoked. ”
"How can there be such a thing, is there no law?" Qi Zining asked with a glare.
Qiu'er retracted her head and looked left and right, put her head into the car window again, pointed to the direction above her head, and whispered: "That nephew is accidentally making a mistake, who dares to blame him?" ”
"Hehe, most of these don't seem to be a good place." Qi Zining said with a dry laugh.
Du Qiyue pursed his lips and didn't say anything, even if he hasn't seen and heard of this kind of privilege with his own eyes, this prince is equivalent to the second generation of power in the previous life, driving a luxury car and hitting someone, he will not bear any responsibility at all, but those second generation of power in the previous life will give some money as compensation, and the magnates here will kill people, probably not even raising their eyelids.
Because of this little accident, the good mood of the two disappeared, and after entering the capital, they didn't look at the surrounding scene and directly let the coachman go to the inn. This inn is not for them to find, but the court specially prepared for the chefs who came to participate in the cooking competition, the food in it is borne by the court, the cooks only need to repeat the preparation, waiting for the official closing that is about to start to show their skills.
There were more than 100 chefs who came to participate in the competition, but the inn didn't have so many rooms for each person to live in, so three or four chefs were arranged to live together in one room, and the little guys brought by individuals were all arranged to the Chase Shop.
Du Qiyue and Qi Zining were lucky to be arranged in a room. However, the other two roommates are not so wonderful, one of them is the bamboo horse that Qi Zining hated each other that he met in Jingfeng County before, Zhang Haomiao who looks very handsome, and the other is a strong opponent of Du Qiyue and Qi Zining, and his scores have never been lower than the top five Shen Xiao in several competitions.
Zhang Haomiao saw Qi Zining enter the house, and said with a smile while directing the little servant to clean up the bed: "Qi Zining, it seems that we are really destined!" There are so many rooms here that can be shared together. ”
"Who's destined for you!" Qi Zining immediately exploded like a cannon when he touched Zhang Haomiao, pointed at Zhang Haomiao and said, "Hey! I advise you not to mess with me, or be careful that I tell you about it, how the hell did you get here, you should know it yourself! ”
"You! Unreasonable! Zhang Haomiao's face darkened suddenly, so Qi Zining had to say it every time he saw him, as if he had decided that he had bribed the examiner to get to Dadu. But Qi Zining didn't want to think about it, he was just a small restaurant owner, even if his family was rich, it was impossible for him to have the money to stuff money into so many officials.
"You're unreasonable!" Qi Zining snorted, snatched the small servant's bed, and then threw it to the farthest place from Zhang Haomiao.
Zhang Haomiao's face became even more stinky when he saw it, and he ran out with a black face and flicked his sleeves.
Qi Zining raised his eyebrows proudly, and was about to run to the door to say something proud, but was grabbed by Du Qiyue one by one. "I said you should live in peace, we are going to live here for a month, do you want to quarrel with him every day? You all grew up together, you can make any fuss at home, and don't be too stiff outside. ”
"Wherever I made a fuss, I just saw that he was uncomfortable." Qi Zining said impatiently, as if he didn't listen to Du Qiyue's words at all.
Du Qiyue didn't say anything more when he saw him like that, no matter how much trouble he made, it was a matter between Qi Zining and Zhang Haomiao, and Du Qiyue would not interfere. And Du Qiyue felt that although the two of them always quarreled when they met, the relationship should not be as bad as it seemed, otherwise Qi Zining would not be able to talk about Zhang Haomiao's troubles every time he was like a few family treasures, and Zhang Haomiao would not be able to say Qi Zining's sore feet every time they quarreled
