After just waiting for a moment, the man who looked like a general he had seen yesterday strode towards this side.

Originally, this door had already been broken by Ruan Zijin, so it was not closed again, but one of the two guards stayed behind and continued to watch them.

At this moment, through the dilapidated door, Jian Ning looked at the people who were getting closer and closer, and there was inevitably a trace of nervousness in her heart. This nervousness is not because I am afraid that my cooking skills are not good, but because I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the general to let her give it a try.

Until he walked into the room where Jian Ning and the others were, Yi Hongyuan was expressionless. Of course, under this appearance, there must be a dignified and anxious heart. He is the main person in charge of the Empress Dowager's trip this time, how can he not be in a hurry when he encounters such a situation now.

"Are you going to see General Ben? Do you have a way to get the Queen Mother to eat? Yi Hongyuan looked at Jian Ning and asked word by word.

When the guard went to look for him just now, he had already honestly reported to him what had happened before. Although he wanted to punish the two guards at that time, he actually revealed the identity of the Empress Dowager, but after hearing that man said that they could solve the problem of the Empress Dowager not being able to eat, he temporarily stopped.

Although he was full of suspicion when he heard that. After all, he'd seen these people, and they didn't look like they were superb cooks. But in the current situation, he didn't dare to miss the slightest opportunity, so he rushed over.

"Yes, General. The little girl is the chef of Yangxin Prefecture Food Taste Garden, and she is also one of the people who went to Kyoto to participate in the God of Food Contest this time. If the general believes the little girl, let the little girl try. After Jian Ning finished politely, she handed the letter in her arms to Yi Hongyuan.

Yi Hongyuan twisted his eyebrows and took the letter in Jian Ning's hand, and unfolded it to see that it was indeed stamped with the seal of Jingdingzhou. And the previous competition of the God of Food, the imperial court was also very concerned. As the general of Yuan Chu, he naturally knew it.

His eyes looked away from the letter and re-examined Jian Ning. The woman in front of her is only twenty-eight years old. has a beautiful face and a beautiful temperament. Is such a woman really the current Miss Jian Ningjian?

"How do you prove that what you say is true?" Yi Hongyuan handed the letter back to Jian Ning, looked at her and asked seriously.

This time the person who served was the Empress Dowager, and he had to be careful and careful, otherwise a mistake would be a matter of losing his head.

"Isn't this letter enough?" Jian Ning asked in surprise. Now there is no such thing as an ID card here, so how can she prove it?

"The only thing that this letter can prove is that the chefs of Shiweiyuan are skilled in cooking and have qualified to participate in the finals of the Shiwei Garden, but it does not prove that you are from Shiweiyuan." Yi Hongyuan looked at Jian Ning and said seriously and sternly, "Because of such a letter." With the skills of the girl next to you, it's easy to get your hands on. ”

Jian Ning frowned suddenly, saying this to suspect that the letter in their hands might have been stolen or robbed.

"Hey, how do you talk! If you don't believe it, forget it, anyway, we won't be the ones who starve to death first. Ruan Zijin was also angry when he heard Yi Hongyuan's words. How could she possibly do all those things of stealing and robbing!

"Bold! Dare to speak disrespectfully and disrespectfully to the Queen Mother! Yi Hongyuan shouted almost immediately as soon as Ruan Zijin's words fell.

Liu Leshan immediately pulled Ruan Zijin to his side, and apologized to Yi Hongyuan: "The general is angry, she didn't mean to be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. I'm really worried about the Queen Mother's body! General, you think. It doesn't matter if you don't believe us, but it's the Queen Mother who suffers in the end. ”

"General, I really don't have any way to prove myself now. Why don't you do it like this? Why don't you just give me a chance, let me go to the kitchen first, you can find someone to watch the whole process, and you can also try the dish after it is done, if you think there is no problem, then serve it to the Queen Mother, how about it? Jian Ning said immediately after Liu Leshan's words.

Yi Hongyuan's anger originally caused by Ruan Zijin's words also disappeared a lot because of this shift of attention. lowered his head as if he was thinking about Jian Ning's words.

"Amitabha, General Yi, the old man thinks it's better to let this female benefactor give it a try!" Just then, a man with a long beard walked in the doorway. An old monk over half a hundred years old.

Ever since she noticed that this old monk had come in, Jian Ning had been looking at him. Although this old monk is over half a hundred years old. The beard was gray, and the head was shiny and shiny.

I don't know if it's Jian Ning's illusion. In an instant, she actually saw a circle of light around the old monk. He just stood there quietly, but it gave people the feeling of a fairy wind and bones.

"Oh, it turned out to be the abbot." Yi Hongyuan heard the voice and immediately replied politely. Suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked: "The master is here, the empress dowager is there"

"Amitabha, General Yi rest assured. The Empress Dowager is now fine and resting. From beginning to end, the abbot's expression was faint.

Hearing the general call this old monk abbot, Jian Ning knew that this was the abbot of Jialan Temple, Master Jueyuan, a famous Taoist monk in Yuan Chu! Rumor has it that Master Jueyuan is the younger brother of the former emperor.

"The master just said that he could let them try, I don't know what he means?" Yi Hongyuan was also relieved when he heard that the Empress Dowager was okay for the time being. Turning his head, he glanced at Jian Ning and the others again, and asked Master Xiang Jueyuan.

"Amitabha, General Yi should know that the body of the Empress Dowager is the most important thing now. The old man is incompetent, and the Garan Temple has really not been able to make a meal that the Queen Mother can like, which is the fault of the old man. Jueyuan said and saluted with shame.

Since the benefactor said that the Empress Dowager could eat, the old man was willing to believe her. So I also asked General Yi to let her give it a try. Jueyuan said politely to Yi Hongyuan.

Yi Hongyuan was already a little loose before Jueyuan came, but now that he heard Jueyuan say this, he finally nodded and said, "Since Master Jueyuan also said so, then I'll give it a try!" ”

"The opportunity has been given to you now, if it is really as you said, the Empress Dowager has eaten, then General Ben will let you go, if you can't do it, then even with your trespassing, the two crimes will be punished together, and you will be executed on the spot, do you understand!" Yi Hongyuan said majestically to Jian Ning and the others.

"Don't worry, General, you won't be disappointed." Jian Ning replied with a confident smile on her face.

"However, General Ben can only let you go to the kitchen alone, and the rest of you still have to stay here obediently."

"No problem. But you have to return the whole set of knives that were taken away by the general before for the time being. Jian Ning nodded at Yi Hongyuan, and then quickly added.

"Somebody go and take what she says to the kitchen." Yi Hongyuan immediately commanded the guards outside.

The two guards outside breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this voice. They had been listening nervously to every word inside outside the door, and they had already broken out in a cold sweat, and now when they saw that General Yi was finally relieved, they suddenly let out a long breath.

"But the master is going with you?" Yi Hongyuan politely asked Jueyuan on the side.

"Amitabha, the old man will not go. General Yi please. After speaking, he slowly moved his body and made a slight gesture of please.

"The master is polite, the master pleases first." Yi Hongyuan also politely replied.

Although Master Jueyuan was very polite to him, he couldn't forget the etiquette, not to mention that Master Jueyuan was the senior brother of the former emperor, just because he was a famous monk in Yuanchu, he deserved to be treated so politely.

The two walked out of the door one after another, and Jian Ning followed Yi Hongyuan out of the room. When she stepped out, Jian Ning turned around and gave Liu Leshan and the others a reassuring look.

Jian Ning was followed by a team of guards who came with Yi Hongyuan just now.

Out of this yard, I really walked a few steps to the kitchen. Just as Jian Ning had guessed before, the kitchen of this temple turned out to be on the edge of the courtyard where they were locked up.

After bringing Jian Ning to the kitchen, Yi Hongyuan temporarily waved away all the monks who were busy in the kitchen, and said to Jian Ning: "What do you need, say it!" ”

Jian Ning glanced at the ingredients here, although it was a temple, all the vegetarian dishes that should be available were available, and even things like flour were prepared. Presumably it may be because the Empress Dowager is here, so prepare in advance! And his whole set of knives is lying quietly on the table at the moment.

Jian Ning smiled slightly, and said to Yi Hongyuan: "If it's convenient for the general, give me someone to help light the fire." ”

Hearing this, Yi Hongyuan beckoned to a guard outside. The guard immediately walked in.

"He'll let you use it." Yi Hongyuan didn't talk nonsense, he directly pointed to the guard who came in and said to Jian Ning.

"Okay." Jian Ning nodded. Regardless of whether Yi Hongyuan went out or not, Wu Zi walked towards the ingredients and chose them.

Although the Empress Dowager is the most noble woman in Yuan Chu, she has to admit that she is also old. Once a person gets older, his taste buds will become less sensitive, and in this way, his sense of taste will gradually weaken, and he will not feel any special taste in whatever he eats.

Especially an old lady like the Queen Mother, who has been full of fine clothes and jade food, delicacies from the mountains and seas, where in this world is there anything she hasn't eaten!

So the dishes made for her, in fact, the taste is secondary, and the most important thing is to be ingenious, so that she has the desire to eat at a glance.

As soon as she thought of this, Jian Ning suddenly had a good idea in her heart. A faint smile unconsciously hung on his face. (To be continued) R580
