"Is all the oil squeezed out?"

The back kitchen of the palace, Guo Shan asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Guo Gongzi, what's the matter with you letting you squeeze this oil?" The next person who didn't understand asked.

"This is cooking oil for stir-frying, so it's too late to explain to you. Get the shiitake mushrooms I want. While instructing, while instructing, more than a dozen cooks in the entire back kitchen did their hands.

There are many vegetables in the back kitchen of the palace that Guo Shan has never seen, which greatly satisfies Guo Shan's hands-on yuwang.

He didn't know what was going on in the backyard, but after ordering the cooks to work harder, the first dish of scrambled eggs with leek flowers was baked, and the cook was ordered to serve it. The second dish of fish and meat fragrant silk followed, and the famous Kung Pao Chicken took a lot of means, and the condiments were slightly uneven, but Guo Shan couldn't help it. Dongpo meat, fried conch, a plate of dishes served on Guo Shan, it can be said that it is not serious. Coupled with some of the dishes that the palace is good at, a large table of family banquets is finally made.

Guo Shan completely adapted to the identity of the 'cook', and trotted to the backyard with the last plate of chopped vegetables fried by himself, shouting: "Taro and chicken are all together"

walked up in broken steps, and then saw Fang Yiai and Li Tai kneeling on the ground. I actually heard Li Tai say there: "Erchen knows his mistake. I heard Fang Yiai crying there: "Qingque, what are you kneeling here?" ”

Guo Shan's cold sweat flowed down, and he instantly remembered the school teacher who liked corporal punishment when he was studying.

"Queen Mother, you, your taro chicken." Guo Shanmei smiled.

Empress Eldest Sun pointed to the table: "You made all these dishes?" ”

"I, I just came up with an idea, and it's all made by the chefs. Look, what does it taste like? Guo Shan then smiled.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled: "I didn't expect you to be proficient in cooking, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Sit down and eat together. ”

Where does Guo Shan dare? Finally, seeing that Empress Changsun's smile was a little cold, Guo Shan didn't dare to be disobedient.

Gotta sit on a stool and keep your head down.

He didn't dare to lift his head bald, and he didn't even dare to pick up the dishes. What I heard in my ears was Li Tai muttering there, 'Erchen knows that he was wrong', and then Fang Yiai was crying and talking dryly: "Qingque, what are you kneeling here for?" ”

The two of them repeated the phrase and kept babbling there.

Empress Changsun turned a deaf ear, ate calmly, and occasionally served vegetables to Li Tai's wife Yan Wan.

Guo Shan picked up the dry rice, and there was no taste for the dishes on the table. He could feel that Li Tai and Fang Yiai were constantly shooting him with resentful eyes, so that his heart was furious and his back was cold.

"What is this bowl of food?"

Suddenly hearing the eldest grandson's question, Guo Shan immediately raised his butt and stood up: "Lean pork is the most common kind." Niangniang, the world thinks that pigs are lazy and dirty, and they are easy to get sick when they eat their meat, but this is extremely absurd. Ancient doctors used it as medicine, celebrity chefs used it for cooking, and even the bristles on pigs are also indispensable materials for toothbrush making."

"Toothbrush?" Empress Eldest Sun suddenly raised her head and interrupted Guo Shan's words.

Guo Shan was stunned and woke up suddenly.

The invention of the toothbrush was still in the Ming Dynasty, and according to later generations, it was indeed invented by the 'ancients'. But if you put it here, it was invented by later generations.

Cold sweat flowed, Guo Shan's heart trembled, how could he fulfill this lie?

'Uh, uh' twice, Guo Shan nervously rubbed his left hand with his right hand, and suddenly smiled flatteringly: "Queen Mother, that's right, I call that thing a toothbrush." ”

Empress Changsun smiled, stopped her chopsticks and wiped the oil stains on her mouth with a handkerchief, and a maid next to her immediately brought a bowl of water. 'Purr' rinsed her mouth slightly, and Empress Changsun spit the water in her mouth into the cup and handed it to the maid. She smiled, elegantly pointed to Li Tai and Fang Yiai who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Why don't you read it?" ”

Fang Yiai, who was listening to Guo Shan's toothbrush with pointed ears, and Li Tai were looked at by the eldest grandson queen who was smiling but her eyes were full of coldness, and then Li Tai hurriedly continued: "Erchen knows that he is wrong. Fang Yiai then said: "Qingque, what are you kneeling here for? ”

Guo Shan expressed deep sympathy for Li Tai and Fang Yiai, in order not to repeat the mistakes of the two of them, Guo Shan was very smart and said without waiting for Empress Changsun to ask: "My so-called toothbrush is a tool for cleaning teeth. It completely deprives the willow branch from the disadvantage of not being able to completely clean the mouth, and it guarantees that the teeth will not grow calculus."

Guo Shan peeked at the eldest grandson queen who was smiling and enjoying the maid's massage, and was extremely depressed.

And when Guo Shan explained the role of the toothbrush endlessly, the room full of people looked at Guo Shan with strange eyes. In fact, Guo Shan himself also knows that in the absence of physical objects, it is impossible to convince these people in front of him just by chattering and grinding his skin. But where can he Guo Shan find real things?

came to a plausible speech, and Guo Shan's restless heart finally calmed down. Looking at the jaw-dropping crowd around him, Guo Shan was full of pride.

"Is it really as good as you say?" Empress Eldest Sun asked.

Guo Shan didn't dare to hide it, and looked calm: "I'm afraid that the minister hasn't said enough." ”

Empress Changsun's eyes narrowed, and then she smiled: "I believe in you, I am waiting for your toothbrush." ”

“”

Seeing the eldest grandson queen leaving, Guo Shan was dumbfounded.

The queen said she believed me? When did you say you were going to give her a toothbrush? Did you say that? Not really.

"Dalang, is what you said earlier true?" Seeing his mother leave, Li Tai stopped kneeling. Ma Li got up, looking at his neat movements, Guo Shan directly doubted whether this guy had practiced. If you look at the bereaved love of the house again, you are going to cry. Directly paralyzed to the ground, Guo Shanzhen didn't know where Fang Yiai called himself a hero with the cheekiness of this virtue in the past.

"What I said earlier is true, but I don't have a toothbrush." Guo Shan looked at Li Tai bitterly and said, "Is the queen mother mistaken?" She said let me bring her a toothbrush? ”

"Dalang, don't be kidding. You boasted so well about your so-called toothbrush, and my mother was moved; The queen mother has always had few material desires, but if she really wants to take a fancy to something, even my father will not dare to refuse it. Li Tai looked at Guo Shan earnestly and said, "I advise you to donate your toothbrush as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be serious." He sighed, with a touch of vicissitudes and emotion in his eyes.

Guo Shan glanced at Li Tai, who instantly turned into a melancholy goddess, and was sure that he was feeling sorry for himself. Thinking of Li Tai's sad appearance before, Guo Shan asked curiously: "Qingque, why did Niangniang punish you before?" ”

Li Tai glanced at Guo Shan calmly and said, "If I know, I don't have to kneel and say that I know it's wrong." ”

What is the explanation for this?

"What else can I say? I can only consider myself unlucky. I knew that my mother was here, and I didn't dare to come over. ”

Guo Shan thought to himself, he had known that Empress Eldest Sun was coming here today, so he shouldn't have come with Li Tai yesterday.

- "Blue finch, blue finch. ”

Several people were talking, and a voice rang out. Fang Yiai's face changed, and this guy obviously remembered what happened to him before.

"It's Shiba Erlang." Guo Shan obviously heard Chai Lingwu's voice.

Sure enough, Chai Lingwu, who was personable and dressed in a white robe, walked in under the leadership of the maid.

"Huh? Fang Jun and Da Lang are also there? Chai Lingwu smiled: "Since they are here, I don't need to look for you again." ”

"Why is Erlang here? Could it be that you're drinking with us again? Li Tai's face changed, his mother had just left, and the previous experience made him painful. At this time, he would never come up with any moths.

"Drinking is real, but it's not just us. Hehe, guess who went back to Beijing this time? Chai Ling Martial God smiled mysteriously, looking like he wanted you to guess.

Li Tai groaned, but did not speak after all. Fang Yiai gritted his teeth, and wanted to punch the grinning Chai Lingwu in the face.

Seeing that the faces of the two people were not good-looking, Chai Lingwu looked at Guo Shan suspiciously. Guo Shan pretended not to see Chai Lingwu's doubts, of course he wouldn't tell Chai Lingwu that Li Tai and Fang Yiai had been unlucky before, and now they are depressed, so it's best not to mess with those two goods at this time.

Chai Lingwu is more refined? As soon as he looked at Guo Shan's appearance, he knew that something must have happened that he didn't know, and it was extremely unpleasant for Li Tai and Fang Yiai. No longer hung his appetite, and immediately said: "Do you remember the five brothers of the Cheng family?" ”

"You mean Wyomo Huailiang them?" Li Tai asked: "Didn't they fight with Uncle Cheng to suppress the fangs in Luzhou?" When Uncle Cheng came to Beijing last year to report on his work, they also brought us the real estate and a message from Luzhou, saying that we should go and see them. ”

"That's right, Huai Mo and Huai Liang also brought me letters last year. Ling Wu, what exactly do you want to say? What do you do to sell that bird, do you have an appetite? ”

Chai Lingwu coughed, glanced at Fang Yiai, who seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and said: "My father got the news yesterday that the Holy General Bai Uncle Cheng was the general of the left leading army, and he was renamed Lu Guogong. Tomorrow, Huai Mo and Huai Liang will arrive in Kyoto with Uncle Cheng. ”

Chai Lingwu's news is shocking, even Guo Shan is in a little trance.

Lu Guogong Cheng bites gold, who doesn't know? In other words, the three words Cheng Biting Jin have a great impact on anyone who has read the biography of the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

One of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, a participant in the Xuanwu Gate Change. Since he defected to Li Shimin, he has spent half his life fighting the enemy for Li Shimin and removing obstacles. This is a direct participant in Li Shimin's succession, and his merits are not insignificant. Now that he is in charge of one side with high power, and because he is Li Shimin's confidant, his future is still bright.

"Since they are coming tomorrow, let's go together tomorrow morning to pick up the wind and wash the dust for their brothers. Da Lang, I just want to introduce you to Huai Mo and Huai Liang. Without waiting for Guo Shan to speak, Li Tai excitedly made the decision. Suddenly looked at Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai and said, "We haven't seen Huai Mo Huailiang for a few years, how dare we be rash when we meet this time?" You have to choose a place that is big enough to find a few girls who can sing well. But in the entire Chang'an City, where can it be called good? ”

"Penglai Court, of course." Chai Lingwu said happily: "Let's go to the shop boss of Penglai Pavilion in a while, and spend some silver taels to let them vacate the restaurant so that we can pick up the wind and wash the dust for our friends." ”

Guo Shan was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "How do you know that Penglai Geken will give you the field?" Didn't Fang Jun say that the Xu family touched their brows in Penglai Pavilion? ”

Fang Yiai sneered and said, "Don't worry, Da Lang; The Xu family was deflated, that was because the Xu family had no ability. Our brothers are different, and I don't dare not agree to come to the pavilion. If you dare to shirk it, you will smash his store tomorrow. ”

Guo Shan's face immediately darkened, and he really wanted to give these two goods an ear of melon seeds.

"No, it doesn't. Penglai Pavilion and the Burrow originated from the hands of Mr. Yellow Robe, and we have to respect some of the Yellow Robe Guest who has just learned. Besides, the Burrow is now huge, and half of the scholars in Chang'an City highly respect it. Now that it is the beginning of the course, there are not a few students who come to Beijing to take the exam. If we deal with the Burrow, we will definitely ruin our reputation, and it will not be good for it to reach my father and the emperor when the time comes. Li Tai said.

Guo Shan coughed dryly, always feeling a little weird. He didn't know if Li Tai and Fang Yiai would strangle him on the spot if they knew that he opened the Burrow and Penglai Pavilion in the future.

He lowered his head weakly and said in an astringent voice: "What Qingque said makes sense, well, it makes sense." ”

Fang Yiai said dissatisfiedly: "Since this is the case, then where do you say to go to Huai Mo Huailiang to catch the wind?" ”

Li Tai coughed embarrassedly, and said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that my palace will not be successful, unless I ensure that my queen mother will return to the palace tomorrow." ”

Needless to say, no one wanted to have a banquet at his place. Especially Guo Shan and Fang Yiai, the two of them have decided not to run to Li Tai as a last resort. What if you are unlucky and run into Empress Changsun again, even if you don't meet Empress Changsun, what if you run into Li Shimin?

"Isn't Da Lang's yard quite big? He's also convenient, so why don't we go to him? Fang Yiai's eyes lit up and asked.

Guo Shan was speechless for a while, and said casually: "That's fine, but I have enough food and wine in my house, but there is no other flower and entertainment." ”

Chai Lingwu hurriedly said: "Of course, the brothers know that Da Lang is clean and self-conscious, so you shouldn't have to worry about Kabuki." ”

Fang Yiai patted his chest and took care of it: "I know half of the famous female musicians in Chang'an City, so I will cover this matter." ”

After a while, they planned their own tasks, and everyone was satisfied.

"The matter has been decided, which of you will go to the East Hall with me?" Li Tai looked at Guo Shan and Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai's face immediately turned green, and Guo Shan laughed twice and said, "It's all my own brother, where are there so many rules." Qingque, you go by yourself, brother, I will go back to my house first and tell the cook to prepare wine and food. ”

Joke, he Guo Shan is not stupid, will he go with him to the East Hall to see the eldest grandson queen? Pull it down, I'm afraid I'll have to kneel there if you're unlucky.

"Fang Jun?" Guo Shan's words made Li Tai's face a little ugly, and he had to set his eyes on Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai pulled his lips, showed an ugly smile, and said euphemistically: "I haven't been in contact with those female musicians for a long time, and now I have to go back to find someone to place an invitation." Busy with affairs, I can't accompany Qingque to your past. ”

Chai Lingwu laughed out loud, and said to Guo Shan and Fang Yiai: "A little thing, just tell your subordinates to do it, what are you busy with?" My father used to tell me that smart people don't need to do things themselves, while dull people can only do things themselves. Da Lang, Fang Jun, it can be seen that the two of you are not smart enough. After that, he said to Li Tai: "Qingque, I haven't drunk your tea for a long time, it's strange to think, I must drink three bowls from you this time." ”

Li Tai was overjoyed, and took Chai Lingwu and waved his hand: "Lingwu, since you like Lone's tea, then Lone will drink enough for you today." ”

The two left hand in hand, leaving behind the dumbfounded Guo Shan and Fang Yiai.

"You said that Chai Erlang saw the queen mother for a while, can he still drink it?" Fang Yiai came back to her senses, looked at Guo Shan seriously and asked.

Waving his sleeves, Guo Shan sneered: "I promise that after this time, Ling Wu will not dare to drink the tea of the Qingque family again." ”

Fang Yiai looked in the direction of Dongtang with deep sympathy, and seemed to have heard Chai Lingwu's dry howl. glanced at Guo Shan, and both of them couldn't help but shudder. Seeing Chai Lingwu being cheated by Li Tai without knowing it, will the two of them dare to play happily with Li Tai in the future?
