Chapter 42: Contributing to the Empire
Before poor Lu Fan stepped into the strife of the world, he had already tasted the pain of 'red dust and many hardships'.
But he also understands the original intention of those uninhibited people who practice in the mountains and forests and wilderness, and do not want to do anything in the court.
Under the 'teaching' of the county lord, before Lu Fan could speak, he said: "Seeing that your cooking skills are good, let you do something good for everyone, cook another pot of soup, and contribute to the empire..."
Lu Fan felt sorry in his heart, and for the first time he heard that 'contributing to the empire' was on eating, and the princes also felt that this sentence often came from the mouth of the prince and the general minister, and it was a bit ridiculous to say it in the mouth of the county lord.
How to make a pot of soup for them becomes a contribution to the country
At this time, the two maids who heard the sound outside walked out of the tent, heard the order of the county lord, and directly took out all the remaining wild goods in the mountains, mountain mushrooms, fragrant bark, tender fragrant branches, fishy and fresh spices.
Lu Fan lifted the bamboo stump in the waterhole stream again, but it was empty as a wilderness, and there were neither fish nor shrimp and crabs, but the county lord had an order, so he had to do it well, and he couldn't be sloppy.
Let's not say that the feather wolf hasn't agreed to return it to himself, if he can have a good relationship with the county lord and the princess, he will have a home for his own whereabouts, and maybe he can also mix up an official and a half-job.
Here, the second prince watched Lu Fan's master and servant busy work, and invited the guards to whisper a few words, and the head of the guards ordered a few people to go to 'help'.
Lu Fan saw that there was nothing on the bamboo screws except for the big screws, and remembered that when he was with his father before, in addition to eating a hodgepodge, he would often get some screws, scallops, beibei, crooked, clams, clams and meat frogs, and the taste was also extremely delicious.
Even things that ordinary people don't eat will eat, and sometimes the father and son will even catch some insects and gulls to eat.
So, I picked up the screw scallops and clams by the stream... After a while, he picked up a bunch of them, cooked those things, picked out the meat, washed them, and then boiled them again, Lu Fan washed the ant vegetables that had just come, and prepared the last bit of coriander seasoning.
At this moment, the county lord, who was also playing with Bei Bei by the stream, screamed, and everyone hurriedly ran there.
In a hurry, the county lord pointed to the gravel beach and screamed, "Snake... Snake··"
I didn't expect the county lord to be so afraid of snakes, just like an ordinary woman
Lu Fan picked up the kitchen knife in his hand and rushed over, seeing that the county lord was not injured, he looked at the place pointed by the monarch and saw that it was a Citigroup viper, a blood eel and a black-backed turtle.
Lu Fan, who was worried about having no materials to cook, saw that he just had the materials, and waved the kitchen knife in his hand to the black-backed turtle, and the sword gang emitted by the kitchen knife directly pierced the turtle's body like a white rainbow through the sun.
At the same time, two green rays of light shot directly at the poisonous snake, the feathered wolf that was originally going straight to the poisonous snake, one turned around and pounced on the blood eel, and took a closer look at the green light was poisoning the snake's head and seven inches, it turned out to be two bamboo leaves, the snake kept writhing but could not force back the approach of death, two bamboo leaves passed through the snake body, and were inserted in the stone.
Lu Fan was keenly aware that the moment he held the kitchen knife in his hand and sent out a sword gang, he was locked by several powerful qi machines, and one of them shot directly, but the target was the snake, which made Lu Fan afraid for a while, if it was himself, then his result would naturally be self-evident.
This incident also let Lu Fan know that several people are extraordinary, and although the qi of the young people is very obscure, they also reveal their own extraordinary, only Princess Hexu's qi has not changed from beginning to end, and she is an ordinary person.
Lu Fan hurriedly walked away from the county lord, got rid of the lock of several guards' qi machines, and said with a haha: "Finally, there are materials to cook."
Holding a kitchen knife in one hand, he carried a turtle in one hand and stepped on the snake's head with one foot.
There is quite a pair of who can lift the turtle with a knife, only I am a famous chef Lu.
When everyone heard this, they ridiculed in their hearts, lamenting that the young man was not enterprising, and he was willing to become a man and a cook, and there were also those who laughed and passed by.
Only the fourth prince not only did not smile, but on the contrary, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Fan a few more times, but the second prince couldn't see his joy and anger.
On the contrary, the ordinary princess Hesu, looking at the reactions of the brothers, is also thinking, as she grows older over the years, Princess Hesu has gradually learned to observe words and feelings in front of the imperial brothers, and the emperor's family wants to have a place, which is necessary to understand.
It's hard to believe that the heir of the emperor, who is the envy of all people in the empire, enjoys the utmost reverence that no one can, but he has to live carefully.
The county lord was shocked, and was pulled aside by the princess, saying some considerate words, among which there seemed to be some dissatisfaction with the county lord, and from time to time he looked at Lu Fan peeling the snake's skin.
Lu Fan didn't pay too much attention, so he buried himself in his own cooking, and just raised his knife to deal with the blood eel caught by the turtle and the feathered wolf, but found that the kitchen knife was already covered with dark lines, and when he struck lightly on the stone, the kitchen knife shattered inch by inch.
It turned out that the texture of the knife was too inferior, and it couldn't withstand its own innate strength, and it had already secretly cracked. Now that the knife is broken, there is no knife in his hand, thinking that his realm has been stabilized recently, and his cultivation of the mind has been able to leave the body very well, so he directly replaced the knife with his hand.
The guards who were 'helping' beside him looked at it, and Lu Fan's fingertips exuded qi, and after a while, he cut the blood eel and the black-backed turtle, looking at the unstable true qi from his fingertips, he only thought of creating evil in his mind...
I actually used the gas to dissect the ingredients
It's no wonder that they think so, the innate masters in the entire empire are no more than three hundred, although there are also masters among the people, even if the hidden forces are added, those who are secretly registered are only four hundred, and many of them have already gone into secrecy, comprehended the way of heaven, or passed away or sought to enter Kunxu.
There are only more than 100 people who can serve the empire, and they are also distributed under the command of the major vassal kings, grand dukes, and big forces, and there are only dozens of people who directly obey the orders of the emperor and the royal family.
The young guard couldn't understand why such a person who was still and powerful would be deliberately wooed was so nameless, as if it had been hidden in the snow, instead of letting him work for the Empire.
If there is a problem with loyalty, then he will definitely appear in front of the princes without returning to freedom, and even disappear in this world.
At a time when the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, internal crises, and the surrounding empires are united to impose a military and economic blockade on the Great Shang Empire, why can't people be appointed?
Just about to ask, he was severely stopped by the commander with his eyes.
It was also because of this reckless move that the young guards were transferred from the palace black armor guards and went to the periphery of the imperial capital to guard the west gate ------ the noon gate. But that's all for later.
As a janissary of the six guards of the imperial capital, he only needs to guard and carry out orders, and he doesn't need to ask why, especially those things that shouldn't be asked.
