235 [Three Characters]
Gao Yao was a chef before he crossed over, and although there were occasional misdeeds, such as secretly taking the ingredients from the public home for use, it was undeniable that his cooking skills were still okay.
Ever since he was brought to the imperial dining room, he was humiliated, and anyone could beat and scold him, instruct him, and he could only do some manual work of chopping wood, carrying water, and choosing vegetables all day long.
Hu Hai, the eighteenth son of the First Emperor, had the same mind as a naughty boy and had a particularly short temper. The people in his palace, if anyone makes him angry, there is a high chance that he will die under the stick.
Yesterday, the imperial chef who cooked for Hu Hai was beaten by this son because the dishes were not in good taste, and he was so scared that he hanged himself that night.
How can the most favored son lack a royal chef! The eunuch in charge of the Huhai palace was ordered to come to the imperial dining room to choose a new cook for the prince of Huhai.
Although Gongzi Hu Hai is favored, he is also the most demanding, and the imperial chefs in his palace have changed one after another, and almost none of them have come out alive.
The people in the palace are all human spirits when they can live for a long time and mix into a certain position, and they all know the stakes involved. One by one is more slippery than the other, and they have taken out money to bribe the eunuch in charge, saying that they are not good at cooking and are not good at serving their sons.
The eunuch in charge held a bunch of money bags in his hand, and said helplessly: "Everyone, our family has received your money, so someone has to go with our family, think about it!" ”
Almost all the eunuchs are frowning, no one wants to serve a moody demon king, even if the reward is very rich, they are afraid that they will have their lives to take money and not spend their lives!
Gao Yao was squatting to add firewood to the stove, and when he heard the news, he threw down the firewood, stood up and said, "You give me the money, and I'll go!" ”
He can see that he will never come out of the world by burning fires and chopping wood to work as coolies in this imperial dining room. So no matter how many traps there are under this opportunity, he is willing to give it a try, as long as he doesn't die, he will always come out.
The other eunuchs were overjoyed when they heard this, and without saying a word, they stuffed the money into his arms and pulled it in front of the chief eunuch. The chief eunuch is also in urgent need of a top bag, as for how long this top bag can do, it is no longer in his consideration.
When he came to the kitchen in the Huhai Palace, the chief eunuch also gave Gao Yao a preventive injection in advance, "From now on, this place will be under your control, and I will try my best to say good things to you on the son's side." But if your cooking isn't what Childe wants, there's nothing he can do if he gets angry and kills you. ”
Gao Yao is respectful on the surface, but in fact he doesn't care about it in his heart. He is not a cook for nothing, all major cuisines will be so little, and he doesn't dare to guarantee the ticket with the mouth of modern people. But the ancients haven't seen this yet, so how can they not conquer it?
Sure enough, chop the fish head with pepper, shredded fish-flavored meat, and dry lean meat with steamed buns...... When the six-course dishes were served, the fresh taste immediately conquered Hu Hai's taste buds, and after meeting him, he immediately ordered someone to see it.
Gao Yao took out the effort of drilling the camp, specially made a table of good dishes to entertain the chief eunuch, and divided half of the credit and reward this time with him, and he was counted as having a foothold in this palace.
On this day, suddenly a little eunuch who left the palace brought him a sentence, "The old man came to visit and wanted to eat tomato scrambled eggs made by Brother Gao." ”
Tomatoes were introduced during the Ming Dynasty, which was not available at all in this era. So tomato scrambled eggs, this is a code that only modern people understand.
With this dish, Gao Yao once found Yi Xiaochuan who was dying, and now that he heard this dish again, he remembered Yi Xiaochuan for the first time.
After arranging the things in hand, he asked the chief eunuch for leave, and went out of the palace to find the address.
In the tavern, he looked left and right, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find Yi Xiaochuan's cynical guy. I found the store and asked, but the store pointed him to a big fat man who was eating meat.
Gao Yao was a little confused, he walked up to the big fat man, and saw him grab a piece of meat with his left hand and a piece of cake with his right hand, a barbarian eating appearance can simply frighten a child, "Hey, who are you, know Yi Xiaochuan?" ”
The fat man was Xiong Tian, he looked up at Gao Yao, swallowed the food he had stuffed a mouthful of, and said angrily: "You are Gao Yao, Mr. has gone to see a friend, sit down and eat first." ”
If you say the name correctly, it is basically confirmed, Gao Yao sat down, "Big fat man, the gentleman in your mouth is Yi Xiaochuan?" ”
"Sir is sir." Xiong Tian'er muttered as she ate.
Gao Yao didn't give up, and then asked: "Who told you about the tomato scrambled eggs?" ”
Xiong Tian'er shook his head, "You ask Mr. about these, I don't know." ”
Gao Yao was almost defeated, he thought that he would be able to speak when he met a fool, but he didn't expect that this fool's mouth was tighter, and he couldn't say anything.
Sitting and waiting, he watched as this fool filled his stomach with two pots of meat and a stack of flatbread on the table, and finally brought a pot of soup, which simply refreshed his cognition.
He secretly thought in his heart: If this fat man is Yi Xiaochuan's follower, then Yi Xiaochuan must also be developed, otherwise who can withstand such a thing.
Suddenly, Xiong Tian stood up and greeted behind him, "Sir, you're back." ”
Gao Yao turned around in surprise, but the word Xiaochuan was forced in his mouth, it turned out that it was not Yi Xiaochuan!
"It's Brother Gao, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Yuan Pengfei said with a smile.
He has been in Xianyang for more than half a month, and the first thing he did when he settled down was to find a high priority. Today, I happened to meet another world-class master, Cui Wenzi, so I stayed for a while.
He didn't know where Cui Wenzi was from, but he knew a little about the magic of this person.
This person is a person from a hundred families of doctors, who is good at making potions and pills, and has traveled all over the world.
When Yi Xiaochuan was a fledgling, he was infected with the plague because he accidentally drank unclean water, and it was Cui Wenzi who saved him.
And that time, because of the limited materials, he could only save one person, and Lu Susu, who had a deep affection for Yi Xiaochuan, was infected by Yi Xiaochuan and died of illness.
As for whether it left a strong mark in Yi Xiaochuan's heart, Yuan Pengfei didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask.
In the legendary story of Cui Wenzi, two more things will happen. He cured the plague contracted by Princess Yushu and made three elixirs of life.
The previous one may not be able to happen, but the latter one is related to Yuan Pengfei's task, so you have to ask for a trick in advance and get to know each other.
Gao Yao's side was indeed sluggish, which he didn't expect. He thought it would be very troublesome to leave the palace, but he didn't expect Gao Yao to become a celebrity in front of Hu Hai now, and this convenience can still be obtained.
Split Xiong Tian, the two of them have endless words. talked about Yi Xiaochuan's recent situation, and talked about the experience of the two of them being both traversers, and they became familiar with it in one afternoon, and even felt a little confidant.
After all, unlike Yi Xiaochuan of Qinggao, the two of them have similar backgrounds and roughly the same concepts, and they always have something to say.
In fact, if you can, everyone wants to be a rich second generation like Yixiaochuan, no matter how you mix it, you can mix it well. And an encounter like Gao Yao, which becomes a background wall, no one will like it.
Who stands out from the backdrop?
Only on your own.
They used to have justice in their hearts like Xiaochuan, but after the experience of society and the big bags they touched, they knew it. Justice cannot be eaten, and in order to get things done, we must conform to this society and climb up step by step.
Because there is no nobleman, no aura of the protagonist, and I don't want to be bullied by others, I have to take this path.
"Brother Gao, which one do you like the most among the characters of the Three Kingdoms?"
Speaking of the blessing of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of the Three Kingdoms is known to all ages, and Gao Yao knows it even if he hasn't studied history for a few days. He pondered for a long time: "I like Cao Cao." ”
"Coincidentally, I also like Cao Cao." Yuan Pengfei praised the armrest, "Brother Gao knows why?" ”
"Brother Yuan should like the character of Cao Cao, right?" Gao Yao said firmly.
"That's right, I like Cao Cao, because Cao Cao fits our current situation." Yuan Pengfei looked at Gao Yao with a confused face, he still had a deep understanding of this aspect, and explained confidently: "When I was a child, I liked Liu Bei, when I was young, I envied Sun Quan, and finally I liked Cao Cao." ”
"When I was a child, I liked Liu Bei, because we still had dreams in our hearts. At that time, most of the education we received was positive and positive, and it was easy to show either good or evil in the concept of right and wrong.
Respect for idealists, great appreciation for perseverance and perseverance, support and yearning for absolute justice.
In terms of worldview, they will think that only people who have all the good qualities and are flawless will succeed, or they will prefer to accept that only such characters can achieve ultimate victory.
Liu Bei is a modest, courteous corporal, lenient to others, ambitious, knows how to make good use of people, and is praised by the world for his benevolence. Uncle Liu Huang also became the emperor of Shu with a cloth coat, which can be regarded as a success, so I liked him the most at that time. ”
"That's right, I used to like him too." Gao Yao nodded approvingly, and continued to ask, "Then why did you like Sun Quan when you were young?" ”
Yuan Pengfei took the wine bowl and drank it all, and said with a reminiscing tone: "When I was young, I just entered the society, tasted the hardships of life for the first time, and experienced the ups and downs and difficulties of starting a business.
Young, mostly the age of having nothing. And this period is also the period of greatest and greed for material and spiritual life.
Became rich overnight and became famous, just think about it in your sleep. It's more about the helplessness of wanting to get it but not getting it, and I envy those who are born with everything and can enjoy life without worries.
Seeing the luxurious life of some rich second generations, I was envious and sighed that they really had a good baby! If only I could enjoy that kind of life!
Liu Bei and Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period both experienced a difficult struggle before creating a foundation.
Only Sun Quan, as a rich second generation, the second generation of officials, has a civil and military generals to escort him, and he has a beautiful wife and concubine by his side, and he inherited a good inheritance from Jiangdong from his brother, no need to contribute, just enjoy.
For me, who was once in melancholy and confusion, I would rather choose a fate similar to that of Sun Quan rather than Liu Bei and Cao Cao. ”
Gao Yao grabbed the wine bowl and drank it all, and his heart was full of melancholy. Isn't he envious, the son of the first emperor was born with a golden key.
The huge palace was for them to live in, and many palace people served one of them, and all they heard every day were flattery, so it can be said that they lived in heaven on earth.
It's just that it was decided at the moment of reincarnation, and fantasy is useless and unrealistic. Shaking his head and throwing away those useless thoughts, he couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Yuan, let's talk about Cao Cao." ”
Yuan Pengfei's eyes were a little confused, and he said with a smile, "In the end, I like Cao Cao, and the reason is very simple."
As we grow older and experience increases, we can clearly realize that it is impossible to succeed with absolute justice in reality.
Even in life, it is impossible to get the help of a figure like Zhuge Liang like Liu Bei, let alone become a direct inheritance of the great foundation like Sun Quan.
You and I are accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, seeing people's hearts clearly, and understanding the way of the world. only then did I understand that Cao Cao's means of survival are the most in line with this world.
Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, looked down upon and bullied, but in the end, he occupied the world, and he was a hero.
He said the sentence that we are all doing, but we never dare to say: "It is better to teach me to bear the people of the world than to let the people of the world bear me".
This is simply a true portrayal of our hearts, in Cao Cao, we seem to see another self. It's just that we are more hypocritical than him, and we dare not say it, and we still want to build a memorial arch, which is a hypocrite. ”
Gao is silent, he has never been a gentleman in disguise. It's just that the word "eunuch family" evokes the part of Gao Yao's memories that he is most reluctant to mention.
He's a cripple, he's a waste, he's not a man anymore. He was looked down upon, he was humiliated, and he wanted to live like a human being.
There is no going back, and he has only one thought now, to climb up, to climb to the highest place, so that others will no longer dare to bully him. As for those who have offended him, he will take revenge one by one.
Firm in his belief, he looked at the sky outside, it was almost time to make dinner, and Hu Hai was his only and best choice at present, and he couldn't give up.
"Brother Yuan, it's getting late, I should go back. If you have anything, say it sooner. ”
"Oh, yes." Yuan Pengfei saw that the heat was almost over, and said: "Actually, there is only one thing to come to find Senior Brother, Xiao Chuan told me how you were used as a servant. It's just that I think there must be something strange in this, brother, what do you say? ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Gao Yao couldn't hide his hatred, and he said angrily: "I've been asking people to inquire about this matter, but I think nine times out of ten it has nothing to do with that Liu Ji." ”
Yuan Pengfei is very clear about the cause and effect of this, but he just wants Gao to owe him a favor, and he can't be in a hurry.
He soothed: "Senior brother, I understand your feelings, but this matter is not in a hurry first, when you find out, senior brother, I am making suggestions with you." ”
