After Dongfang Chang's death, Li Zhifu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot two days ago, which was called a restless, but after two days, he was like a person who had nothing to do, drinking tea and visiting the kiln every day, but the good times did not last long, a day later, he was so frightened that he fainted to death in the brothel, and after waking up, he only said one sentence, "Chase, chase Lord Zhou back." โ
At the same time as Dongfang Chang's death, Li Zhifu got the news that Huang Wanchun made the secret recipe of the Buddha jumping over the wall public, and he was directly scared into a cold sweat at that time, he didn't think that Huang Wanchun, who looked honest, actually had such a big courage, wasn't he afraid that he wanted him?
But at that time, he didn't care so much, and directly ordered martial law in the whole city, and at the same time sent officials to collect secret recipes from door to door.
The big deal is to tell Lafayette that this Buddha jumping over the wall is a place that Zhou Lian discovered by chance in Fuzhou, but because there are too many people who can make it, it can be included in the palace as a royal delicacy, but there is no guarantee that only the royal family and nobles can eat this famous dish.
According to Cixi's attitude, the big deal is to endure the diaphragm of eating the same dish with those peddlers and pawns, and reluctantly put the Buddha jumping over the wall into the palace, or a little more ruthless, and directly ordered that the whole country is not allowed to do it.
Governor Li sent someone to collect the secret recipe, just to give Zhou Lian an explanation, but there was no way, a thousand copies of the secret recipe, the officials collected it for two days and received less than 500 copies, of which 20 were taken out of the toilet by pinching their noses, and the remaining more than 500 were carefully put away by the people with ulterior motives, the power of the Buddha jumping over the wall is not that they have never seen it, it can almost be said that with this secret recipe, it is difficult for them to think of whether they have money or not.
When Governor Li saw it, he had no choice but to give up this idea, and sent a group of fast horses to chase Zhou Lian away with his apology letter and three hundred taels of gold.
Governor Li is not very worried about this, anyway, things have come to this point, thinking that with his own three hundred taels of gold as a base, Zhou Lian will not blame him much, if he wants to hate him, he will hate Huang Wanchun, alas...... It's a pity that the boss of Dongfang, he died like this, I heard people outside say that he seemed to be angry to death, and he vomited a mouthful of blood before he died, no wonder, who is not angry.
Fortunately, he also sent someone to protect his bones out of the city, and gave a hundred taels of silver, Dongfang boss, Li Mou also did his duty, isn't a hundred taels too much? Alas, I was too impulsive at the time, and I knew that it would be good to give fifty taels a little.
So, Governor Li continued to be happy, drinking tea and chatting and visiting the kiln.
said that on the evening of the next day, he was hugging a kiln sister and talking about his previous glorious history, probably how to embezzle, but unexpectedly, while talking, Li Zhifu was noticed by a burst of talking in the private room next door.
"Hey, do you know, Boss Huang really played a great game this time, the secret recipe of the Buddha jumping over the wall is simply fake."
"What? Fake, you're not mistaken, right? โ
"How can this be wrong, I have followed the above practice in the past two days, and I have made it back and forth more than a dozen times, and the taste, the first bite is still so delicious, the second bite is about the same, the third and fourth bites are over, and the fifth bite I squirted out directly."
"And according to the information I have got, almost all the Buddha jumping over the wall made by almost everyone according to the secret recipe is so unpalatable."
"Ahh In other words, that Dongfang Chang spent so much money, and what he bought was a fake, and this fake one was well known. โ
"That's not it, anyway, I'm admiring Boss Huang more and more now, he's really amazing."
"Alas, I'd better hurry up and burn the secret recipe locked in the box when I get home, damn, I'm still counting on waiting for the limelight to pass and sell it for money."
"Hehe, if this money were so good, it would be easier to earn."
"That's right, come and drink and drink."
Governor Li listened to the words in his ears, his face turned pale, because the incident was too shocking, he was directly frightened to Sister Yao's body, and after waking up, he hurriedly shouted: "Chase, chase Lord Zhou back, it's too late, it's all over." โ
But Governor Li is destined not to catch up with Zhou Lian, because at this time he has already gone to Hebei, and he will be able to enter the capital in three days at most, and Cixi's birthday will be four days later.
The second batch of fast horses sent by Governor Li galloped all the way, day and night, and they were tired of killing five horses, but as a result, they had just chased to Taiyuan, Shanxi, and at this time, Cixi's birthday had already begun.
.......
In the Forbidden City, countless officials and foreign envoys, holding their own gifts, walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace with a smile on their faces, offering their birthdays to the dead old lady sitting above the main hall.
One third of the way through the ceremony, Zhou Lian, who was wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, walked into the hall with her head held high, followed by the entourage holding the Buddha and jumping over the wall.
Zhou Lian is not worried at all, in his opinion, he is here to receive Cixi's reward today, nonsense, he has not eaten the Buddha jumping over the wall, Zhou Lian dares to pack the ticket, after Lafayette eats, he will praise himself vigorously, maybe the official uniform can change.
Zhou Lian is very relaxed, and the entourage behind him is also very relaxed, as for which Shandong celebrity chef.......
In fact, today should have been him jumping over the wall with the Buddha and offering it to Cixi to taste, which is also Zhou Lian's intention, he planned to send this celebrity chef to the palace, and then after the Buddha jumped over the wall to please Lafayette, he would have nothing to do and let the celebrity chef give him a few good words.
But after the brother Tai did the Buddha jumping over the wall, he said that his stomach was a little uncomfortable, and he found an excuse to slip away, and it is estimated that he has escaped from Beijing at this time.
Anyway, he is also a famous chef in Shandong, although it is at the local level, but how can he not find the problem of Buddha jumping over the wall, indeed, the words of the second fool are holy decrees in his eyes, and he does not have the slightest doubt, so he did not start trying to do Buddha jumping over the wall in the first three days of going to Beijing, but he is just a person with a secret recipe to study, mainly Zhou Lian is anxious, and the carriage has never stopped.
Three days later, the carriage stopped in a small town, and the Shandong celebrity chef felt that through the research of the past few days, he could perfectly make the Buddha jump over the wall, so when Zhou Lian was resting, he ran to the kitchen of the inn where he was staying, and began to cook, the first bite was delicious, the second bite was okay, and the fifth bite was .......
"Ahh
Shandong celebrity chef was stupid at the time, it is said that this is not right, how can this taste be so bad, he did it all night, and finally he brought all the ingredients squandered, and at dawn, Shandong celebrity chef completely understood, not that he did not do it right, but that this secret recipe was not right at all, because this night he did twenty Buddha jumping over the wall, or did it in a different way, and the result was .......
It's better to quickly tell Lord Zhou that something is wrong with this Buddha jumping over the wall, if you really dare to bring this thing to Lafayette, even the three clans will be counted.
Early the next morning, as soon as he got into the carriage, Chef Wang planned to tell him out, but unexpectedly, Zhou Lian said leisurely at this time: "Lao Wang, when you arrive in the capital, you have to show me your real skills, if you serve Lafayette well, the official will not be able to treat you badly, on the contrary, if you dare to make any mistakes, be careful that the official asks you." โ
The words of advice in his mouth were swallowed back by Chef Wang, in fact, there was nothing wrong with Zhou Lian saying this, after all, Chef Wang was the servant in his family, this kind of threat, he used to say it when he was fine, and used it to beat these maids, but unfortunately, he was very wrong when he chose it.
The current Chef Wang is like an uncle who owes money and doesn't pay it back, and Zhou Lian is the hard-pressed creditor, he is in a good mood, for the sake of his past face, maybe he can return the money to you, but you dare to threaten others!
Okay, there's no need to talk about it, looking at Lord Zhou's bullish appearance, Zhou Lian's bullying of him in the past all came to Chef Wang's heart.
Master Zhou, don't blame the little one, you said that if you were usually kind to me, I would definitely pull you today, but...... And let's be honest, just you are a person, in one word.
"What the hell?"
Lao Tzu can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people this time.
Chef Wang, who had made up his mind, immediately nodded and said, "Master Zhou, don't worry, the small one will definitely not disappoint you." โ
In this way, Chef Wang pretended to be dumb, and until today, after making the Buddha jump over the wall, he asked Zhou Lian for a leave, and got consent.
Somehow, after escaping Beijing and waking up from that frightened state, Chef Wang suddenly felt a sense of pride, and suddenly he felt that his image was tall and powerful, and then he got into a carriage with his head held high and fled.
Now he can also be regarded as a hero.
In the hall, Zhou Lian first congratulated Cixi on her happy birthday, what blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, turning over is such a set of words, Cixi also lightly expressed her gratitude, and then Zhou Lian began to talk about the Buddha jumping over the wall, saying how good this dish is, after he found this dish, he didn't dare to eat it, and he was stunned to invite the cook back from Fuzhou with eight sedan chairs, and he must let Lafayette be the first to eat, the first food in the world.
This set of rhetoric is exactly the same as that of Governor Li
Cixi was so happy that she asked Zhou Lian to present the Buddha jumping over the wall, and she wanted to taste the first delicacy in the world.
When the crockpot was opened, Cixi's old face couldn't help but smile, fragrant, it was too fragrant, thinking about what delicacies and seas he had never eaten in his life, or the first time he smelled such a fragrant thing, the world's first delicacy, worthy of his reputation.
Cixi took out a piece of Shaoxing chicken with chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and after the first bite, a happy smile appeared on Lafayette's face.
Second bite, third bite....... Fourth ....... Belch....... Fifth ......
"Vomit ......"
After five mouthfuls, a roar of anger came.
"Someone came to push out the political envoy Zhou Lian to the mourning family and behead it, no, and then destroy his nine clans to the mourning family, don't even want to live!!"
