One of the pot-bellied officials glanced at the pot brought by the servant, pouted and said, "What kind of novelty should I be, and let the eldest grandson invite His Majesty so ceremoniously, it turns out to be an antique soup." ”

This antique soup is generally reserved for ordinary people, and is named after the "clanging" sound that food makes when it is poured into boiling water.

Cooking vegetables in clear water is bland and tasteless, and they, the dignitaries, are simply disdainful.

"Yes, something like this can also go to a banquet?" The other official also shook his head in disappointment.

"This is what you don't understand, this antique soup is different from the ordinary, it can be said that there is something inside."

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and waved his hand, and the subordinate put the pot in the middle of the table.

"Oh?" Everyone gathered around in disbelief to see what was going on.

The whole pot is red, making people feel hot in their mouths when they think about it.

"What are you doing, boiling chili?" Wei Chigong pouted in disgust.

Du Junxuan, Princess Changle and Li Er had already tasted the taste of this hot pot yesterday, and now they saw that the soup in the pot was no different from yesterday's, and now their saliva was about to flow out.

"Oh, Uncle Wei Chi, you haven't eaten it, you don't know, this thing looks spicy, and it tastes delicious in the world, and you can't stop at all."

Recalling yesterday's deliciousness, Princess Changle couldn't wait, picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of mutton, and put it in the pot.

With Princess Changle as a guarantor, the eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard and smiled at the officials and made a gesture of please, letting everyone move.

"Poof, what is this?"

Princess Changle just put the expected mutton into her mouth, immediately spit it out, snatched the tea cup from the next person's hand, and began to rinse her mouth.

"Poof"

Li Er's side was in the same situation as Princess Changle, picking up the teacup, frowning, and Meng Shugmy without saying a word.

"Phew." Wei Chigong smeared the mutton directly on the ground, and his face was gloomy: "Eldest grandson Wuji, although the old man sometimes disagrees with you in the court, he has no grudge against you in private, why do you want to poison the old man." ”

"Although this hot pot tastes a little spicy, it has a long aftertaste." The eldest grandson Wuji also picked up a piece of meat, soaked it in the hot pot, and threw it into his mouth.

"Puff"

Eldest Sun Wuji's expression was more exaggerated than the others, and his facial features were twisted together.

What's going on? The taste is so different from yesterday that it's simply hard to swallow.

Obviously it was made according to the recipe given by Zhao Yin?

Li Er glared at the eldest grandson Wuji, got up and brushed his sleeves away.

"Father, you wait for me!"

Princess Changle also got up and chased out.

I was still full of hope to taste the deliciousness of this hot pot again, but it turned out to be like this.

Seeing that her husband and daughter were gone, the eldest grandson Wujian also looked at his brother helplessly, shook his head, and went back to the palace together.

"Lord Eldest Sun, it's impossible for me to help your parent Sun Chong in the court."

"Lord Eldest Sun, I will not object to the marriage between Zhao Yin and Princess Changle."

"Lord Eldest Sun, I'm leaving, as for Prince Ling's desire to marry Princess Changle, let's ask someone else for help."

"Zhao Guogong, I think my Wei Chigong has never had a personal grudge against you, and you want to openly poison me, hum."

Seeing that all the officials brushed their sleeves away, the eldest grandson Wuji looked disappointed.

"It's over, it's all over."

Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to make His Majesty and the queen happy, but the chances of Changsun Chong were much greater.

Now it's good to pour, stealing chickens doesn't make rice.

But what's wrong?

Looking at the pot of chili peppers in front of him, his meat hurts, this is bought with a lot of money.

And it's with one, one less.

He turned around and instructed the subordinates behind him: "Go, quickly call the cook to me." ”

The servant trotted all the way to the back kitchen.

When the cook heard the summons, he was frightened.

Not long after this dish was served, it was definitely not a good thing to call him at this time, and it was after the banquet to give a reward.

There's no way, the master called, and I have to go.

"Old ...... Sir, you look for me. ”

"Slap" the eldest grandson Wuji's hand back is a slap.

"Sir....... What's going on here? The cook asked tremblingly, covering half of his swollen face.

"What's wrong? I'm embarrassed to ask what's wrong? How do you make this hot pot? "The eldest grandson Wuji's nose is crooked.

"Just follow the recipe you brought back, sir." The cook took out the recipe in his arms with a trembling hand and put it on the table, "But the recipe says five catties of chili peppers and half a catty of salt, but the total number of chili peppers you brought back is less than four catties, isn't it....... Is it too little? ”

After listening to the cook's words, the eldest grandson Wuji had the heart to die, "The pepper is gone?" ”

"I didn't ...... No, it's all here. The cook pointed to the hot pot on the table.

The eldest grandson Wuji covered his heart with both hands.

Seeing this, the subordinate hurriedly went to help, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook off his subordinates' hands vigorously, and said with a crying voice: "I'm fine, I feel a little painful." ”

It doesn't hurt!

also pointed out that he forgot to use these chili peppers bought with a lot of money to curry favor with Li Er, but this time they were all used up, and he seemed to hear the sound of his heart dripping blood again.

It's Zhao Yin, it must be Zhao Yin, the recipe was given by him, and the cook made it exactly according to the recipe he gave, he must be trying to frame me.

The eldest grandson Wuji, who suddenly understood, raised his head, bit his back molars fiercely, and made a creaking sound.

"You wait for me."

......

"Sneeze, sneeze."

Zhao Yin, who was lying in the shed outside, sneezed twice inexplicably.

"Isn't someone scolding me?"

He was completely sleepy after two sneezes, opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the pepper field in front of him, and remembered the eldest grandson Wuji.

It is said that the past few days have passed, why is there no movement over there?

"I don't know if anyone scolds you now, but I know that after a while, someone will come to scold you."

A voice like a silver bell came.

Zhao Yin sat up abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.

It's Princess Changle.

Not far behind him, he walked towards him.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Yin looked around and found that she was the only one

"Can't I come if it's okay?"

"I mean..... How is it only you? Zhao Yin added.

"Why can't it be just me? So who do you think will come? "A delicate face, pretending to be angry.

"Oh, no one." Zhao Yin leaned back, leaning on the backrest behind him, "You just said..... Someone will come and scold me in a while? ”

Zhao Yin pretended not to know and asked curiously.

Princess Changle walked around the field and said, "Do you really not know, or do you not know?" The recipe you gave to Zhao Guogong is fake, and he is very faceless in front of my father and ministers, and you say that he will not settle accounts with you. ”
