Chef Zheng, the head of the kitchen of the General's Mansion, carefully looked at the vegetables and fruits brought by these stall vendors on the ground, he first inspected it visually, and felt that there was nothing unusual, and then waved his hand to a small attendant holding a tray behind him, and the small attendant behind him immediately stepped forward after listening to the order, took out some fine silver needles from the tray, squatted down, and took silver needles one by one to test everything. ”

Gongsun Lady picked up the goods again, followed Chef Zheng to the back kitchen, only to see a smoke in the back kitchen, the smoke in the fragrance came to the nose, the huge back kitchen more than a dozen cooks are in charge of the kitchen at the same time, the pot is burning all kinds of delicacies, Gongsun Auntie saw the black-clothed man sitting in the carriage with them to probe left and right, look right, a sneaky look, she followed behind him, see what tricks he was going to play.

When Chef Zheng asked them to unload the goods in a corner of the back kitchen, because there were many people, the water vapor of the cooking in the back kitchen was large, and they were confused, and they had already been tested when they were picked in, so the people in the back kitchen also took off their guard, and Aunt Gongsun clearly saw that the man in black secretly took out a small bottle from his arms when he squatted down, and he quickly opened the small bottle and poured the powder inside into the mutton he was picking, and the powder was like foam, and penetrated into the beef.

The man in black turned his head suddenly, Aunt Gongsun was so frightened that her heart was about to jump out, fortunately, at the moment when the man in black turned her head, she quickly pretended to bow her head and unload the goods on her body, not daring to look at the man in black, after a while, when Aunt Gongsun pretended to stand up straight, she secretly glanced at the man in black in front of her, only to see that the man in black was standing in front as if he was nothing, calmly looking left and right, Aunt Gongsun's heart seemed to jump to her throat, she only felt that her heart was beating fast, it turned out that this person really had a ghost, There must be something strange about the powder in his bottle.

"Alright, get out of here! When he went out and received the money, he hurried out of the house. Chef Zheng pointed to the door, signaling everyone to go out, Gongsun Aunt and they also listened to the instructions, one by one carrying their empty burdens out, and followed the instructions of the soldiers, walked to the side door, the bookkeeper gave one or two silver, and when he saw that they were all distributed, he told them to get in the carriage and leave quickly.

Aunt Gongsun saw a smile on the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth, checked the silver in his hand, and did not sit in the designated carriage, so he left alone, there were many stalls and vendors, this black-clothed vendor left quietly, and no one paid too much attention, Gongsun Auntie looked at the back of the man in black leaving anxiously, and really wanted to shout out, but she was afraid, if she couldn't find out anything, wouldn't she be guilty of deceiving the general's mansion, but if the powder was poisonous, the full moon banquet of the general's mansion, Serve the poisonous mutton, the guest eats it, the consequences are unimaginable, this is a matter of human life!

No, she has to think about it, Zhao Dalang next to them was immersed in the joy of the one or two silvers, and they didn't notice that Gongsun Auntie's soul was not giving up, they saw Gongsun Auntie standing there in a daze, thinking that Gongsun Auntie She was looking at the magnificent General's Mansion carefully, so that she could go back and talk to others, Chu Yue took Gongsun Aunt's hand and pulled the lost Gongsun Auntie back.

"Aunt Gongsun, what else do you see, what is so beautiful about this high wall, I thought I could enter the entire general's mansion, but I didn't expect to enter this small side door, and I saw a back kitchen, but this back kitchen is really luxurious, a back kitchen in the general's mansion is so luxurious, not to mention other places, okay, let's get in the carriage early, go back early, fortunately, this general's mansion also sent someone to send us back, otherwise how can we go back, this hired a carriage can cost a lot of money!" Saying that, Chu Yue pulled Aunt Gongsun and walked to the carriage.

Aunt Gongsun gently took Chu Yue's hand away, she smiled reluctantly, and said in Chu Yue's ear, "You guys get into the carriage first, I guess I'm freezing this morning, and now I'm in a hurry to go to the toilet, my stomach hurts, I can't hold it anymore, I'll ask the soldier if you can let me go to the toilet." Saying that, Aunt Gongsun didn't wait for Chu Yue to reply, and walked towards the soldier at the door.

Aunt Gongsun pretended to hold her stomach and said, "Soldier, you can do well, I got into the carriage early in the morning, and I was frozen all of a sudden, I really couldn't hold it back, I had a stomach upset, there was a big road outside, I can't solve it outside, can you let me go in and borrow a toilet?" The soldier looked at the extremely painful appearance of this lady with a suffocated face, and saw that she was honest, thinking that nothing should happen when he went to the toilet, so he quickly waved his hand, "You go and come back quickly, I see that you are really uncomfortable, otherwise according to the regulations, you will have to pull your pants." ”

Aunt Gongsun hurriedly covered her stomach and bowed and said, "Soon, soon, thank you for the good people, God bless you!" Aunt Gongsun hurriedly ran into the side door again, and the soldiers behind her shouted, "Turn right when you enter the door, and come out when you get on." Aunt Gongsun replied to the door, "Okay." Running into the back kitchen, she saw that the person in the back kitchen actually carried the beef out, Chef Zheng smiled and said to a person with his hands behind his back, "Manager Xia, this is the beef that was just collected from the hawker in Yunjin City, you see, it should have been killed in the morning, this blood is still ticking, isn't Manager Xia just looking for this kind of fresh beef, Manager Xia, how much do you want over there of the third lady, or ask the servants to carry this head over to you." ”

"It turns out that Chef Zheng is here on an errand today, Chef Zheng, you are good, the general specially found the best chef from Chang'an City to hold the full moon banquet of the young general, I was still thinking about Chef He to be the chef of this branch chef, I didn't expect to choose you, it seems that you have a hand! If this young general's full moon banquet is successfully held, your status will also improve a lot in the future! Manager Xia smiled and congratulated Chef Zheng in front of him, this is a small back kitchen assigned by the head chef in the front yard, and Chef Zheng was assigned here as the head chef.

"Oh, Mr. Xia, I won't tell you, the old chef invited by the general has a very strange temperament, and he thinks that the fruits and vegetables on the streets of Chang'an City are not fresh, and he suddenly said that the vegetables are old-fashioned, and all of a sudden he said that the fish is not alive and jumping, you see, this early in the morning, a group of small stall vendors from Yunjin City just came, picking up their own vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, beef, these are here, this is still the Qinglong Leader went to Yunjin City yesterday to find it, does Manager Xia of Yunjin City know? It's that particularly remote place, and it's hard to find these goods, no, just sent a batch of samples, the old cook barely nodded, we are not busy washing and cutting here, and sending him over, but we are tormented. ”

Chef Zheng said with a miserable face, what is the best cook in Chang'an City, it is simply a torturous old thing, he invited him the day before yesterday, and when he saw the things he purchased, his face darkened, he waved his hand, and scolded him fiercely, and asked him to throw away all the things that he went to Chang'an Street to purchase before dawn in the morning, and buy them again, that old thing didn't dare to take Chef He in the front yard of the General's Mansion to be angry, but scolded him for a bloody head, the old thing told him to find a way by himself, he and Chef He begged for everything, The old thing reluctantly burned the full moon feast that day, and when it was done, he said cruel words to him, and the next day he had to see fresh and good vegetables and fruits grown by the farmer.

So when he saw that the Qinglong Leader was going to Yunjin City yesterday to check the distribution of free materials, he hurriedly asked the Qinglong Commander about this matter, fortunately, the Qinglong Commander was good, agreed to him, and arranged things properly, fortunately, there is only one last day left today, and there is no need to be angry with that old thing!

"Okay, Chef Zheng, let's just endure it today, today's things are done, the old cook will leave, some old cooks are very weird, after all, the general invited us, we can't afford to offend, we do our own things well, this beef doesn't have to be carried to Zhiqiu Courtyard in its entirety, the third lady doesn't need so much beef, she just gave birth to a young general, this beef should not be eaten too much, and if you pull it so much to Zhiqiu Courtyard, it won't be fresh tomorrow."

"Everyone has been busy with the full moon banquet in the General's Mansion these days, the cattle farm raised by the General's Mansion has killed a lot of cattle in recent days, and there are not a few good cattle left, this General's Mansion is so busy, the cattle farm is far away from here, Wenchen has not stopped for several days, I won't let him go to the cattle farm today, the third lady loves to eat beef balls in recent days, no, come to your back kitchen to try your luck, I really let me meet." Manager Xia looked at the beef carefully, and saw that the meat was delicate and bright red, and it looked quite fresh, but it must be much different from the cattle farm in the General's Mansion, so let's take some of this beef first, and the full moon banquet will be over tomorrow, and then ask Wenchen to ride a horse to the cattle farm to slaughter a cow and come back.

"Mr. Xia, how much do you think you should cut?" Chef Zheng looked at Mr. Xia, although this Mr. Xia said that he was the director of the back kitchen of Zhiqiu Courtyard, but he was down-to-earth, much better than the chef with a strange temper, Xiao Xiazi took a closer look and pointed to the cow's neck, "Beef neck, tough, you are also a cook, and you want to ask me?"

Chef Zheng cut off the beef neck with a sharp knife and packed it, handed it to Bai Mu behind Manager Xia, and said with a whisker, "How can I have Manager Xia's superb cooking skills, I still have to learn from Manager Xia." Xiao Xiazi smiled and said, "Your mouth is getting more and more articulate, okay, you guys should prepare a banquet quickly, and I have to go back to Zhiqiu Courtyard as soon as possible." With that, Xiao Xiazi left with Bai Mu, who was carrying beef.

Aunt Gongsun saw that the two people who were holding the beef and left were getting farther and farther, and just vaguely heard them talking about the third lady, could it be that this beef should be made for the third lady, that is, the third lady who gave birth to the young general, if it is poisonous beef, these three ladies must not be poisoned! Aunt Gongsun just wanted to catch up, but a soldier grabbed her violently, "What are you doing?" Why haven't you gone out yet, the goods have been delivered, what are you still standing here for! ”

Aunt Gongsun was scolded coldly, sweat came out directly from her back, her stomach really began to hurt a little at this time, Xu was nervous, she held her breath and said to the soldier, "Forgive me, I just want to go to the toilet, I haven't been to this morning, please do well." The soldier looked at the uncomfortable lady in front of him, and he waved his hand impatiently, "The toilet room is over there, go and go back quickly, go out quickly when it's ready, the general's mansion can't accommodate idle people and wait." ”
