The nine chefs competed in public, and the remaining eighteen cooks cooked in the big kitchen, and the cooks of the Hou Mansion helped to cut the vegetables, and the progress was quite orderly.

The only drawback is that An Rong and Shen Anxi were stunned that no one came to invite them, as if they had been forgotten.

Well, it's not enough to forget, from time to time someone comes to urge, there is not enough drink, you have to hurry.

An Rong and Shen Anxi almost picked on their children, they were still hungry, and they didn't know how to ask someone to bring food, so they knew that they were ordered to work and not wait!

In order to speed up the speed of refining wine in the small kitchen, there are already six stoves, and even An Rong and Shen Anxi have learned to add firewood, can the fire not be big?

The maid didn't hesitate, so she hurried to the front yard, a few maids brought eight special dishes, and Shen Anxi ate in the kitchen, and the feeling in her heart was really, she couldn't cry or laugh.

An Rong raised his glass to Shen Anxi and Shen Anmin and said, "It's all my fault for coming up with some bad ideas, and it will cause you to eat with me in the kitchen." ”

Shen Anxi giggled, "It's the same with eating in the kitchen, it's rare to have such an experience once in a lifetime." ”

Shen Anmin smiled proudly, "It's not the first time I've eaten in the kitchen. ”

An Rong and Shen Anxi are embarrassed, we are happy in suffering, second brother, can you stop worrying about such a thing?

Shen Anxi couldn't see Shen Anmin's sneer, so he pulled An Rong and said, "Fourth sister, do you know why the second brother cooks so well?" ”

An Rong was puzzled.

Shen Anxi covered his mouth and smiled, "That's because the second brother is often punished by his father, he has no dinner to eat, he is hungry, he can only go to the kitchen to eat secretly, but his father ordered, the cooked food in the kitchen is hidden, and the second brother can only cook it himself if he wants not to be hungry." ”

Shen Anmin stroked his forehead and argued for himself, "How can my father often be punished, at most four or five times a month, I am a lover of food." ”

An Rong's face was full of black lines, and he was punished at most four or five times a month, that is, he had to learn to cook by himself, "I believe that the second brother loves food, and he will not die of hunger for four or five days in a row, not to mention that it is only four or five days a month." ”

"That's it," Shen Anmin nodded repeatedly.

Shen Anxi gritted his teeth and said, "You can't starve to death, but you will starve half to death, second brother, you forgot, you were punished by your father when you were a child, or the steamed buns I secretly sent you at night." ”

Shen Anmin drooped his face, "The past is like smoke, can you not mention it?" ”

An Rong and Shen Anxi laughed, the black history of Second Young Master Shen, I don't know if anyone believes it?

While eating, the three of them also paid attention to the wine, which was sent away almost as soon as it was purified.

Halfway through the meal, a little servant came to invite, "Second Young Master, Hou Ye and Third Master asked you to go to the front yard." ”

Shen Anmin didn't dare to delay, turned around and was about to leave, An Rong and Shen Anxi laughed, the second brother would definitely laugh to death when he went to meet a guest like this.

An Rong pointed to his face, and Shen Anmin reacted and hurriedly washed his face with water.

Taking advantage of this gap, An Rong muttered two sentences in his ear, and Shen Anmin nodded again and again.

Shen Anmin thought he was going to eat, but who would have thought that as soon as he got there, his father said, "Min'er, you came just in time, this wine is strong enough today, but it's a pity that the preparation is not sufficient, and everyone is not happy enough, you can think of a way to help the fun." ”

Shen Anmin suddenly pickled, Dad, can you stop giving me a problem, I won't.

Shen Anmin stood there, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Dad, since everyone is not happy with drinking, I will open the wine shop tomorrow, and give two jars to each person, to ensure that they are mellow and strong enough, so that people can get drunk and rest." ”

Shen Anmin said a word, and the guests applauded.

Sure enough, it is the second young master Shen, his name is well deserved, he is bold enough, generous enough, this kind of wine is not cheap, and there are many people present, this sentence, I am afraid that I will give away ten thousand taels of silver.

The third master stood there, a little stunned, and a little angry, this stinky boy, let you find a way to help the fun, you will send something.

Emperor Zhaowen sat beside the Hou Ye, and the jasper wine glass in his hand shook lightly.

Today, there are many guests in the Hou Mansion, and the emperor is coming, but the Hou Ye took out his treasured jasper wine glass, which is just enough for a table.

Emperor Zhaowen wore a mask, but that kind of momentum could not be covered by a mask, he smiled, "Second Young Master Shen is famous in Kyoto, and he was able to see it today, and it really deserves his reputation, but you are young and young master of the Hou Mansion, why do you want to open a wine shop?" ”

The third master stood there, trembling with excitement, did he hear it, did he hear it, the emperor praised my son, I will never scold him again in the future, but the emperor doesn't seem to approve of Brother Min opening a wine shop?

What can I do?

Shen Anmin didn't know that he was the emperor at all, but being able to sit next to the Hou Ye represented the most distinguished guest.

He laughed and said:

If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky.

If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth.

Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven.

I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage.

Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods.

Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural.

But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake.

After reading it, he smiled and said, "Since drinking is the way of heaven and earth, how can I enjoy it exclusively if I have good wine in my hand?" ”

When Emperor Zhaowen heard this poem, he suddenly felt comfortable, "A good sentence 'three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural'!" ”

Pei Youxiang sat aside, looked at Second Young Master Shen, nodded again and again, if he was really a good young man, he smiled and said, "Second Young Master seems to love wine very much, I don't know if it's a great avenue or a natural one?" ”

Shen Anmin thought for a while and said, "To be able to pass the avenue, it is still far from nature, and you need to work hard." ”

A bucket of wine, 6.4 kilograms, this is naturally not a good fit.

Before Shen Anmin finished speaking, a middle-aged general over there came over, grabbed his shoulder and said, "This wine has a lot of stamina, with my alcohol consumption, my daughter Hong can drink ten catties, and this is only three bowls, so I'm a little dizzy, boy, be my son-in-law, right?" I'm friends with your dad. ”

Shen Anmin looked at him stunned, who are you, if you like wine, you like wine, don't like me, you are my father's friend, and you can't just be my father-in-law.

The third old man couldn't cry or laugh, afraid that his big man would crush his son, so he came over to stop him, "Don't joke, your daughter hasn't been enlightened yet, so she wants to find a husband for her, and she's too anxious, right?" ”

"How can you do it if you are not in a hurry, such a good young man, everyone looks at him like he is looking at his own son-in-law, I will strike first," the middle-aged man, with a wine burp, don't rob me with anyone.

The crowd laughed.

Shen Anmin's face was full of shame, and there were black lines on his face, did he become fragrant?

Zuo Xiang picked up the dishes and said with a smile, "It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can Second Young Master Shen do the opposite?" ”

Shen Anmin's back was straight, and he said with a smile, "I remember that 'Gentleman Yuan Cook' comes from 'Gentleman is also a beast, and when he sees his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away', which means that a gentleman cannot bear to see birds and beasts die when he sees them alive, and he cannot bear to eat their flesh when he hears them cry. So, the gentleman always stays away from the kitchen. ”

Shen Anmin paused, in fact, everyone knew the meaning of this sentence, there was no need for him to say more, what he wanted to say was, "The gentleman is a gentleman who can't bear to kill, and a man can't bear it, let alone a woman?" ”

Shen Anmin stopped at the point, he didn't want to be angry, but the meaning was also said, women's courage is always smaller than that of men, and men can't bear it, let alone women, men dodge, but let women face it, is this still a gentleman?

The room was silent.

Until Emperor Zhaowen clapped his hands and applauded, "That's right, the opinion is unique, but we took it out of context, such a man, it's really extraordinary." ”

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant he was wearing on his waist, and Xu Da, who was following behind him, hurriedly sent it to Shen Anmin with both hands.

Shen Anmin looked at the jade pendant and scratched his head, these people are really strange, drink wine and drink bars, one for the daughter-in-law, and the other for the jade pendant, so scary.

"Isn't this a token of kinship?" Shen Anmin looked frightened and couldn't help but ask out loud.

It's easy to put things away, but it's hard to get them back, so you have to ask clearly.

Xu Da was holding the jade pendant in his hand, and when he heard the words, his eyes were round, and the jade pendant almost took off his hand, this Second Young Master Shen is really free and uninhibited, this is a reward from the emperor, okay, you don't know that it is the emperor, but in front of the public, it is inevitably too straightforward, right?

Shen Anmin's straightforwardness made the Hou Ye and the third master want to cry, Brother Min, our Hou Mansion can't afford to climb the princess, don't talk nonsense.

The third master hurriedly got up and said in fear, "I'm afraid I'm scared just now...... ”

Emperor Zhaowen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Such a bold young man is very suitable for my heart, even if it is regarded as a token of kinship, it is not impossible to choose a daughter from the Mo family to marry in the future." ”

Hou Ye wiped his sweat, fortunately, the emperor came to the Hou Mansion in a micro suit, and he was also talking about the daughter of the Mo family, the Mo family represents the royal family, not necessarily referring to the princess, marrying the princess, not to mention being inferior.

If the princess is arrogant and domineering, the concubine can only swallow her anger and let her do whatever she wants, but not any princess is as virtuous and virtuous as the eldest princess, and the future will be quite limited.

Although his status is noble, his back is backed by the royal family, and no one dares to bully, no matter how powerful the horse is, people praise the princess for being well-trained, but they have high hopes for Brother Min, hoping that he will be able to worship the general in the future, rather than nepotism.

Besides, the Hou Mansion has been passed down in one line, if you want to spread out and marry a princess, how can you flourish?

Seeing that Shen Anmin didn't move, and didn't accept the jade pendant, the Hou Mansion and the third master hurriedly gave him a look, the emperor rewarded him, how could he hesitate, hurry up and accept it, if the emperor is unhappy, your future will be over.

Shen An Min Quan didn't see it, so he didn't want to be married, he had a girl he liked.

Shen Anmin was about to shake his head, but suddenly raised his eyebrows, the county lord of Yiyang is also surnamed Mo, and most of the people surnamed Mo in Kyoto are from the royal family, this person sits at a table with the left and right, and his father's face is frightened, needless to say, this person must also be a member of the royal family, and his status will not be low.

But what if I guess wrong?

He didn't dare take any chances.

Shen Anmin raised his glass to apologize, "It's the kid who is abrupt, Master Xie Mo rewarded him with three cups of self-punishment, which was regarded as reparation." ”
