When Zhang Lingyang's Luan Yu arrived at the competition venue, the crowd inside knelt on the ground one after another, shouting long live!

When Luan Yu stopped, Xiao Fuzi, who was in charge of presiding over the competition, immediately ran to Luan Yu and got out of the car with Zhang Lingyang in his arms.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Lingyang saw a crowd of kneeling people around him, and the person at the head was an old man with gray hair.

The old man's name is Jiang Cheng, who is over the age of sixteen, and he is the Duke of Dingguo of this generation.

The Duke of Dingguo, together with the Duke of Ningguo, the Duke of Anguo and the rest of the four marquis mansions such as the Marquis of Anle, are known as the three dukes and the four marquis, and they are the top nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, also served as the Zongzheng Ling of Zongzheng Temple.

Zongzheng Temple was originally a yamen that managed the affairs of the royal family and nobles, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no such thing as a non-royal family who could not serve as Zongzheng Ling.

Therefore, as the longest person in the middle grade of the nobles, Jiang Cheng, who is highly respected, naturally became the Zongzheng Order of Zongzheng Temple.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Lingyang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Cheng up: "Old Guogong, please get up!" ”

Only then did he shout to the people around him: "Everyone be flat!" ”

After helping Jiang Cheng up from the ground, Zhang Lingyang asked, "Why does the old man have time to come today?" ”

Jiang Cheng smiled: "Isn't the old minister greedy for appetite? ”

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng patted his stomach, causing Zhang Lingyang to laugh.

While laughing, Zhang Lingyang helped Jiang Cheng to the main seat in front of the arena.

"Old Guogong will sit next to me today!" After saying a word to Jiang Cheng, Zhang Lingyang ordered someone to carry a set of tables and chairs and put them next to Zhang Lingyang.

Then, Zhang Lingyang asked Xiao Fuzi: "Have all the people arrived?" ”

Xiao Fuzi replied: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, except for the Duke of Ningguo, who has been delayed and cannot come, the rest of the people have already arrived. ”

Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally and said, "Then the game will begin!" ”

"Game on!"

With Xiao Fuzi's shouting, the remaining more than 300 chefs on the field cooked, fried, fried, fried, steamed, and boiled, each showing their own tricks, and they all showed their own housekeeping skills, and people were confused.

While watching the chefs below use all kinds of tricks, Zhang Lingyang said to Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo: "Old Guogong, is there a chef you like on the field?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't say it, the old minister really fell in love with a favorite cook."

Jiang Cheng explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, you also know that the old minister is already over the age of six, and most of the teeth in this mouth have been lost. Usually when I eat, I can't chew the harder ones, but the soft ones are the same as chewing wax, and the food is tasteless. No, two days ago, Lao Chen found a Sichuan chef on the field, and the food he cooked was fragrant and soft, not to mention that the key was very much in line with Lao Chen's appetite. So today, the old minister asked His Majesty for a favor, and wanted to ask His Majesty to give the cook to the old minister. ”

"What's this? Since the old man has spoken, is there any reason why I should not be rewarded? As he spoke, Zhang Lingyang beckoned to Xiao Fuzi and said to Jiang Cheng: "Old Guogong, what is the name of the chef you are talking about?" I asked Xiaofuzi to find it for you. ”

"The old minister thanked Your Majesty!" Jiang Cheng thanked him, and then said to Xiaofuzi: "That cook's name is Li Ergou, from Sichuan and Shu!" ”

"Li Ergou?" Hearing this name, Xiao Fuzi took out a roster from the side and looked at it.

After a while, Xiao Fuzi closed the roster and said to Jiang Cheng: "This Li Ergou is among the three hundred people, and the slave will be found for Grandpa Guo!" ”

"Trouble Father-in-law!"

Xiao Fuzi turned around, whispered a few words to a little eunuch next to him, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at the arena.

The little eunuch nodded, then hurried to the arena, and after a while, he led a middle-aged man in his thirties to Zhang Lingyang.

The middle-aged man is very restrained, and he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Fortunately, there was a little eunuch next to him who mentioned it, and the middle-aged man knelt down in front of Zhang Lingyang and said, "Grass people Li Ergou knocks on the emperor!" ”

"You are Li Ergou?" Zhang Lingyang asked.

"If you go back to the emperor, the grass people are Li Ergou!"

Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally, then looked at Jiang Cheng and asked, "Old Guogong, but this person?" ”

Jiang Cheng looked at Li Ergou for a while, and then replied to Zhang Lingyang: "Your Majesty, it is this person!" ”

Zhang Lingyang nodded and said to Li Ergou: "Li Ergou, a few days ago, the old man fell in love with your craft, I wonder if you are willing to go and cook for the old man?" ”

Li Ergou didn't answer in a hurry, but raised his head and secretly looked at Jiang Cheng, and was suddenly surprised: "Aren't you the old man who often ate at the villain's stall a few days ago?" ”

"It's the old man!" Jiang Cheng bowed his head and asked Li Ergou, "I wonder if you are willing to go to the old man's house to cook?" ”

"The villain is naturally willing!" Li Ergou nodded, but then his voice changed, and he said: "But the parents, wives and children of the grass people are all in Sichuan and Shu, I wonder if Grandpa Guo can let the villain go home first, and let the villain bring his parents, wife and children to the capital?" ”

Zhang Lingyang smiled at this time: "No need to be so troublesome!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Lingyang looked at Xiao Fuzi and said, "Xiao Fuzi, you immediately order someone to go to Sichuan and Shu, bring Li Ergou's family here, and then buy a house for Li Ergou in the capital!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Xiaofuzi replied and went down to make arrangements.

"The grass people have thanked the emperor!" Seeing that Zhang Lingyang not only wanted to bring his family, but also bought real estate for himself, Li Ergou was naturally grateful.

At this time, Jiang Cheng spoke: "Your Majesty, in the future, Li Ergou will serve the old minister, how can the old minister let His Majesty spend this unjust money?" The travel expenses of Li Ergou's family to Beijing and the money for the purchase of real estate should be paid by the old minister! ”

"Since the old man is willing, there is naturally no reason for me to disallow it." In line with the principle that saving one point is one point, Zhang Lingyang did not reject Jiang Cheng's request.

Then, Zhang Lingyang looked at Li Ergou again and said, "Li Ergou, the old man was still praising your cooking skills in front of me just now, you can go and cook a good dish for me now, so that I can also taste the taste!" ”

"Yes! The grass people are going! He kowtowed to Zhang Lingyang three more times, and Li Ergou retreated.

Zhang Lingyang was laughing with Jiang Cheng while looking at the arena.

At this time, a middle-aged man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes entered Zhang Lingyang's line of sight.

Seeing this person, Zhang Lingyang's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then shouted: "Jiang Wuyang, roll over to me?" ”

Jiang Wuyang, the eldest son of Jiang Cheng, the Duke of Dingguo, is forty-five years old, but he has achieved nothing.

Seeing Zhang Lingyang's scolding, Jiang Wuyang hurriedly trotted and knelt down in front of Zhang Lingyang: "Minister Jiang Wuyang knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

Glancing at Jiang Wuyang, Zhang Lingyang scolded a few words and said, "What are you wandering around here, why don't you hurry up and serve your father?" ”

"Yes! Go now! With that, Jiang Wuyang came to Jiang Cheng's side......
