At the same time that Yang Guang led people to deceive Hu Liu and Hua Gu in Yuwenshu's mansion, an uninvited guest came to Xie Wei's residence across the street from the Jin Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wandering thousands of miles to Chang'an, with superb cooking skills in the "Jiangnan Bank" restaurant for less than three months, he was almost reduced to the street because the restaurant was closed, fortunately he was called into the mansion by Yang Guang, but he was squeezed out and suppressed by Ding San'er, the head of the palace, and Li Yuan's suspicion, Xie Wei felt that he was like a piece of fallen leaves on the street, which could be trampled under his feet at any time and ruthlessly crushed.

Therefore, this former son of the family, the dignified son of the Xie family, although he is now only a second chef who helps people in the Jin Palace, he is also frightened and extra careful.

Every day when the day is unknown, Xie Wei has to go to the back kitchen of the palace to choose vegetables, wash dishes, boil tea and eggs, do all the chores, and prepare all the ingredients for Ding San'er for the day. If Yang Guang or Yang Lihua named to eat the food made by Xie Wei, for Xie Wei, it would be more like being tortured on the execution ground, not only to carefully cook the delicious food that the masters love to eat with a few ingredients that lack this little or that, but also to guard against someone secretly doing tricks and feet in the meal, what makes Xie Wei even more headache is that whenever he cooks a meal for his masters, Ding San'er can always find out one or two things that he is not coming from, and send him more and more tiring work to do the next day.

Fortunately, Yang Guang didn't know what he was busy with in the past few days, and he couldn't think of cooking for him by himself, and Xie Xian's life felt better.

Just after Shen Shi today, Ding San'er was extra kind and told him that he could call it a day and go home.

Because Xie Wei was born in the Jiangzuo family, as soon as he entered the Jin Palace, he was highly suspected by Li Yuan. Under Li Yuan's pressure, Yang Guang had no choice but to place Xie Wei outside the mansion first, not only that, but Li Yuan also sent two Qianniu soldiers to live with him so that he could monitor his every move at any time.

When Xie Wei returned to the small courtyard where he lived after work, the two Qianniu sergeants who lived together were not in the courtyard. Xie Wei went to the water tank in the courtyard to get a basin of water, washed his face, and sat alone in the room to start: he was not willing to live like this, but he couldn't find a better way to live, I recently heard that Yang Guang was allowed to open a government office, and he was about to leave Chang'an, out of the town and the state, Xie Yan secretly had a hope in his heart, either Ding San'er as the head of the palace and would go to the state with Yang Guang, or Yang Guang would take himself out of the town and the state because he preferred to eat the meals he cooked, no matter what, At that time, he can get rid of Ding San'er's coercion and live a decent life.

There was a soft sound outside the room, it seemed to be the sound of a dead wood being blown to the ground by the wind, Xie Yan listened to it, and didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking about getting up and making two delicious dishes for the two sergeants to please them, when he saw a black shadow flashing in front of him, and there was already one more person in the room.

Xie Yan was startled, and wanted to shout loudly, but he heard someone say to him in a low voice: "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know the old man?" It turned out to be the Jiangzuo accent he was familiar with.

Xie Wei tried to stabilize his mind and looked fixedly, but when he saw that the person who came had a red beard under his chin, it turned out to be Zhang Zhongjian, the young owner of the "Jiangnan Bank" restaurant, whose nickname was Ah Ugly.

When Xie Yan was a chef in the "Jiangnan Bank" restaurant, he could always see Zhang Zhongjian practicing and practicing martial arts in the backyard in the morning and evening, and heard people often talk about it, although Zhang Zhongjian was born in the richest family in Guangling, he was abandoned by his father since he was a child, and he did not recognize his ancestors until he was 14 years old, and he was an out-and-out bitter child. Xie Wei because of his family's downfall, after hearing Zhang Zhongjian's life experience, he still has a feeling of sympathy, and from time to time he will cook two specialty dishes for Zhang Zhongjian to eat.

The "Jiangnan Bank" restaurant was sealed, and Zhang Zhongjian was not treated well by his father, did he fall to the point where he had nowhere to live?

"Brother Xian, are you looking for me?" As soon as Xie Yan recognized that the person was Zhang Zhongjian, he put his heart back in his stomach, took Zhang Zhongjian's hand, and asked very affectionately.

"Brother Xie, the younger brother came to look for you today because there was something annoying." Zhang Zhongjian said, took out a heavy brocade bag from his arms, and threw it on the bed behind Xie Yan, "If Brother Xie can help the younger brother do this, these five 'five open emperor five plants' are enough for Brother Xie to open a shop in Chang'an City, how about it?" ”

Xie Wei pulled Zhang Zhongjian to sit down on the edge of the bed, turned around and stuffed the bag containing the 'Kaihuang Five Plants' money back into Zhang Zhongjian's arms, and said with a smile: "You and I are Jiang Zuo's fellow villagers, where can we see the outside world like this?" My brother needs my help with something, but he just said it. ”

Zhang Zhongjian put the bag back on the bed, looked at Xie Yan with flickering eyes, and asked before answering: "Brother Xie is on an errand in the Jin Palace, do you have the opportunity to walk around Niangniang on weekdays?" ”

Niangniang, where did you come from? Xie Yan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he understood that Zhang Zhongjian was talking about Yang Lihua, his mind flashed, he nodded, and replied: "Every once in a while, the princess will ask me to cook a meal for her, and if it is delicious, she will pass me on to explain the recipe to her, Brother Xian, what are you asking for?" ”

When Zhang Zhongjian heard this, he was overjoyed, patted Xie Wei's shoulder and praised: "Brother Xie's cooking skills are the best in the world, and Shu Gong really didn't see the wrong person." ”

"Brother Xian, you said that I was confused, what does this matter have to do with Shu Gong?" Xie Yan was even more hesitant, and his smile was unconsciously mixed with some flustery.

"Nothing. It's actually very simple for me to bother Brother Xie to do this. Zhang Zhongjian realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly diverted the topic away from Liu Yi, "Three days later, I will come to Brother Xie again, hoping that Brother Xie will hand me a silk silk with his mother's handwriting." ”

"What do you want the princess's handwriting for?" Xie Wei realized that this matter was not as simple as Zhang Zhongjian said, so he smiled and asked with a straight face.

"There are some things, Brother Xie should not ask well. If Brother Xie thinks that the five 'five strains of the emperor' are not enough, we can still negotiate the price. Oh, by the way, there is another thing I forgot to say hello to Brother Xie, there are two brothers next to Dongsi in the back of the courtyard who fell asleep on the ground, if Brother Xie makes a meal after a while, you might as well go there to wake them up, and by the way, persuade them that they should drink less wine. Zhang Zhongjian replied in a strange manner.

"You, you didn't do anything to them, did you?" Xie Wei knew that Zhang Zhongjian was armed with martial arts, and asked nervously.

"They are Brother Xie, your good brothers, and they are dignified Qianniuwei, what can I do with them?" Zhang Zhongjian turned his head to look out of the door and said lightly, "But three days later, if I can't get my mother's handwriting from Brother Xie, everything will be uncertain." ”
