Although the mung bean soup on the side is very ordinary, it is served in a delicate white porcelain bowl, and the clear green covers the plain white, but it is very beautiful.

After only taking a sip, I felt sweet and refreshing, and it neutralized the oiliness of the meat well.

And while he was feasting, Zhaoyun kept looking at him.

This Li Junguo is really the same as rumored, although he is greedy, he is extremely picky about food.

She thought he was a fat and corrupt official who had passed his prime, but she didn't expect him to be so young that he was only weak.

Wearing a winged black gauze hat and a purple official uniform. The eyes are like Danfeng, and the eyebrows are like paint. The face is white, and it looks dignified.

"Who did this? Hurry up and get her here! After wiping the juice from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, Li Jun hurriedly got up and asked.

"This cook is right here!" Wang Shoudao pointed to Zhaoyun, who was waiting on the side with his head down.

Li Jun clasped his hands together and propped up his chin, and looked at her with interest: "Oh? Did you make these three dishes? ”

Zhaoyun bowed slightly, then nodded in response.

"How did you remember to make this fish and meat?" Li Jun looked her up and down, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Ben~, uh, the folk girl just got the guidance of a gentleman who traveled all over the world by chance, and I learned that sweet and sour can make such a unique flavor."

"What's that gentleman's name? Where can I find him? As soon as Li Jun heard this, he immediately sat up from the chair. Because of the urgency, the corners of the chair rubbed into a sharp sound.

Seeing him so excited and eager, Zhaoyun secretly rejoiced that the fish had finally taken the bait.

"Back to my lord, the folk girl only knows that the gentleman seems to be surnamed Su, and I don't know the rest." Zhaoyun arched his hand, "However, this Mr. Su is determined to travel all over the world and has no fixed residence, so it is almost difficult to find." ”

"Hey!" Hearing this, the light gathered in Li Jun's eyes gradually disappeared, and then he sighed heavily.

But soon, he thought of something again, and looked at the little girl with beautiful eyebrows in front of him with an expectant expression.

"What's the name of these two dishes?"

"West Sea vinegar fish and red knife rolled pork." Zhaoyun only smiled slightly, and his already stiff face suddenly became vivid.

"Why is that meat called red knife rolling meat?" Li Jun looked puzzled.

Finally got to the point, Zhaoyun secretly scolded and said with a smile.

"There is a popular saying among the people that a white knife goes in and a red knife comes out, and this meat is just like the saying goes, as if it rolled through a pool of blood."

As soon as the words fell, Li Jun couldn't help but think of that picture, and the delicious taste he had just swallowed suddenly surged upward.

Zhaoyun looked at him like a fish in his throat, and couldn't help but feel tricky, and immediately smiled with his fist to his lips and asked, "My lord, what do you think of this name?" ”

"This name is very good!"

With a difficult answer, he rushed out the door.

At this time, the wind was already raging outside the cabin, and even the flag that was inserted on the mast and painted with the auspicious clouds of Yunqi was blowing in the wind.

At the junction of the river and the sky, there are already black clouds turning ink, but a section of mountains is faintly revealed in the sky.

Zhaoyun retracted his gaze and looked up to find that the night sky was a strange blood.

Looks like it's going to rain hard!

Sure enough, when she was quietly heading to the back cabin, several hideous lights flashed in the billowing black clouds above her head. Immediately, a torrential rain of beans poured down from the sky.

The water stirred up by the heavy rain splashed into the boat like white beads and gravel. It was also on the surface of the river, stirring up a thousand huge waves.

At this point, it was just past the time of the child. On the bank of the Wangchao River near the Imjin ferry, there is also a sand boat, braving the heavy rain, slowly sailing away.

"It's raining so hard, get into the cabin and hide!" There was an exclamation of soldiers, coming from not far away.

Zhaoyun hurriedly covered his head and hurried towards the eaves of the boat when the boat surged with the torrent. But he never thought that in a panic, he would collide with an oncoming person.

After apologizing, she turned around and left. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"You turn around!" When she heard this, her heart instantly chuckled and she stopped hesitantly.

"Tell you to turn around, do you hear?" Wang Shoudao, who got up at night, hurriedly scolded.

Zhaoyun clenched his fists and slowly did as he said.

Wang Shoudao saw that she turned around and showed an unfamiliar face, and a trace of doubt suddenly appeared in his heart.

When I just passed by her, I felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.

Under the illumination of the lantern, the woman in front of her had fair skin and delicate facial features. A black mole between the brow bones stands out. Although the face is plain, it is extremely unfamiliar.

When Wang Shoudao saw the clothes she was wearing, he realized that she was a cook. Only then did he rest assured that he walked down the eaves and returned to the main cabin with his hands behind his back.

Zhaoyun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she had the foresight to put on this mask before fleeing.

This is the last time I left the palace, I deliberately took a detour to find the shop in the market, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

In her previous life, she had heard people mention that at the end of an alley on Linfen Street, there was a mask shop. The human skin masks sold inside are all fake. It seems that this is the case!

Zhaoyun touched the junction of the dough, it was really no different except for the different feel.

Then she patted her already wet clothes, looked at the curtain of water that had formed in the eaves of the ship, and turned to enter the aft cabin.

As soon as I entered, I was blinded by a puff of smoke drifting in front of me. As soon as he kneaded it, the familiar sound of quarrel sounded in his ears again.

"Hurry up, get more fire!" "Will you?"

"Just know that you're here to point fingers, you'll come!" The chubby woman threw the blowtorch in her hand and stared at her hands on her hips.

Zhaoyun caught the bamboo tube and blew the fire without saying a word.

It only took a moment of effort, and the blazing fire was already extremely vigorous. The two women beside him had already stopped arguing and exchanged glances with each other.

The black and thin woman stepped forward and inserted her waist, and said in a strange manner: "Who are you, you! ”

Zhaoyun put down the blowtorch in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "I am the cook specially assigned by Lord Wang. ”

"It turned out that it was someone sent down from above, and he was disrespectful!" The thin black woman hurriedly bowed and smiled.

Zhaoyun didn't bother to pay attention to her, looked at the chubby woman beside her and asked, "Are there eight cooks here?" ”

"Yes, yes." The fat woman was watched by her, and she didn't even realize that she had become a little uncomfortable to speak.

"Take me to see it!" Zhaoyun instructed.

The two women hurriedly stepped forward, scrambling to open the curtain for her.

It turned out that there was one fire house in the back kitchen cabin, but another room for selecting vegetables and cutting vegetables.

After the curtain was opened, Zhaoyun saw four women sitting around the stool, munching on melon seeds and making noise. And the only one who is really doing things is a young girl and a woman.

"Looks like everyone is busy!" Zhaoyun was the first to speak.

"yes, they're all busy!" A woman sprinkled the melon seed shell in her hand and continued to say with great interest, "Anyway, where did we just go!" ”

Zhaoyun walked over and uncovered the cauldron burning on the stove, only to see gruel boiling inside. I scooped it with a spoon, and I saw that there were even more sparse grains of rice coming up from the bottom.

"Could it be that Lord Wang paid a lot of money to invite you here, just to let you make trouble on this ship?" Zhaoyun finally understood why all the materials on the ship in his previous life were intercepted by the water bandits.

The escort soldiers didn't even have enough to eat, so where did they get the strength to compete with the bandits?

"Girl, you can't just talk nonsense about framing us!" A woman who was making a fuss just now threw away the melon seeds in her hand and said unreasonably, "It's like we didn't do anything!" ”

"Yes, you can go over there and see for yourself, didn't we do so many things?" The other woman also stuck her waist and said viciously.

Zhaoyun smiled, and when he went over there to open the lid of the pot, he saw a few bowls of steaming tamales, roast goose, sauce elbow and other meat dishes inside.

"Take a closer look for yourself, we're all ready to rest here for a while!"

"I'm afraid these are all for the official master!" Zhao Yunpi said with a smile.

The women who were stealing and playing tricks immediately bowed their heads in a bit of a loss.

"You little girl is really funny when she talks." The dark and thin woman from before immediately changed her face, "Although you are a person sent by Lord Wang, you may not know that since we were invited by Lord Wang to spend silver and silver, we will always give priority to a few adults when we make food. ”

"What Mrs. Cao said is right!" A woman replied, "The soldiers below are subordinates, and it is enough to prepare white porridge and pickles for them!" ”

Human? If it weren't for these "subordinates" in their mouths, what would they do to resist the flowing bandits? Zhaoyun sneered.

"They are subordinates, so who are you?" Zhaoyun stepped forward and asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the women were silent, Zhaoyun sneered, "Since they are not the masters, how can they come from to say that the subordinates are here?" ”

"Those soldiers are in the prime of life, how can porridge and pickles fill their stomachs? If you don't have enough to eat, you naturally don't have strength. What if we meet a bad guy on the way? ”

Seeing that they were silent, Zhaoyun picked up the big iron spoon again, scooped a scoop of porridge from it, and spilled it from mid-air.

"See for yourselves, this porridge is really worthy of gruel, and the rice in it is pitiful."

"Gruel is naturally thin, is it the same as boiling rice, and boiling a big pot of rice?" The thin black woman looked up and quibbled.

"Before I got on the ship, I had heard that there were bandits in the West Sea. They robbed the shippers and sometimes killed and sold the goods. Zhaoyun didn't answer her words, and threw the iron spoon into the pot, "The words have been said for this part, you can decide for yourself!" ”

"It depends on whether you think it is more important to be greedy for money in your pocket, or if it is more important to have a small life!" A cold voice echoed in the ears of several people.

A few of them just wanted to take this opportunity to be greedy for some money. How could he have expected to hear such news from Zhaoyun's mouth?

Seeing that their faces suddenly turned blue and red, Zhaoyun picked up a green onion on the boiling table and played with it.

"You must be bluffing us!" The woman, who was a little rich, stepped forward and glared and said, "We have never heard of bandits in the West Sea before, how did you know that?" ”

"Yes, we never heard of it before, you must be lying to us!"

Looking at their unbelieving looks, Zhaoyun shrugged helplessly.

"I've got it done, believe it or not! But as the old saying goes, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't. Life is not child's play, just don't regret it yourself! ”

These words, along with a thunderclap from outside the cabin, exploded in everyone's ears with a "boom".

Enough to deaf feedback.

"I believe what the girl says!"

After a few thunders, a voice came from the side of the boil, "Since we are hired cooks, we naturally have to cook well!" ”

Zhaoyun looked at that place, and saw the woman who had been burying her head in the boiling and constantly adding firewood to the boil, put down the work in her hand, and looked up at her with a kind face.

"I've woken up here, so why don't you guys come to help?"

Several people froze in place in embarrassment, but as soon as they heard this, they also went down the stairs and hurriedly went over to help.

After Zhaoyun cleaned his hands, he also walked over, picked up the rolled dough, placed the minced meat in the center with chopsticks, and wrapped it unfamiliarly.

In her previous life, in order to capture Mu Xici's heart, she specially learned cooking skills from Mingcui. learned that he likes to eat pasta, and specially spent a lot of money to hire a cook who is good at making pasta to teach her hand-in-hand.

She thought that she would wash her hands and make soup for him, which would touch his heart that had been frozen for a long time. In the end, she only moved herself.

"Girl, look at your speech and demeanor, you know that you came out of a big family." Zhao Niangzi, who had previously cleared the siege, interrupted Zhaoyun's thoughts.

"That's right, looking at the girl like this, she looks like a young lady from a big family." A woman smiled and agreed.

Zhaoyun was about to answer, but was preempted by the Cao lady: "The young lady of a big family? You have too much to do with your conscience. Which lady from a big family will go on board to do what a cook does? ”

Hearing her yin and yang tone, Zhaoyun sneered in his heart. Although she is not a young lady from a large family, she was also a more noble existence.

However, she didn't bother to debate anything with her.

Now she is on this sand boat, just to find out the truth. She wanted to know if the water bandits had anything to do with Xiwu.

In this life, the time between her and her relatives has advanced by a whole year.

If you still look at the trajectory of the development of the previous life, after the ship was intercepted by the bandits halfway, it didn't take long for Xiwu to make a big fuss about this incident. Claiming that the tea and silk did not arrive on time, the deal with Yunqi was nullified.

When she heard the news afterwards, she also felt that something was wrong.

If this incident is really a play played by Xiwu himself, then Heqin may really be just a cover to cover up his ears and eyes.

In the midst of rushing and busy, I didn't know that a night had passed. There was already some dim light on the dim horizon of the sky. It seems that the estimate is before and after the middle time.

At this time, the previous showers had become lighter, but they were still falling obliquely into the boundless river like thin silk threads.
