"I'm telling the truth! Don't you agree? ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yiyan bent down sharply and approached Zhongli, looking straight at Zhongli with dark eyes.

Startled by Zhao Yiyan's sudden action, Zhongli took a step back suddenly, stretched out his hand directly between the two, and his heartbeat suddenly jumped.

"Big brother, although you said in the court that you don't lift it, you still have to pay attention to your behavior, otherwise, cough cough, you will be misunderstood, and your character as the God of War of the Apocalypse will collapse!"

Zhongli coughed dryly and said very seriously, just looking at Zhao Yiyan's gaze a little evasive.

Originally, it was just to tease Zhongli, but I didn't expect him to say such a thing, Zhao Yiyan's face was red and white, but his heart was full of bitterness at this time.

It's really a pot that can't be opened! He likes Zhongli but can't, but the other party is reminding him like this, and of course he knows it if he can't do it.

But these words couldn't be said so straightforwardly, but Zhao Yiyan still wanted to choke Zhongli's neck and tell him that he was normal!

He stood there with complicated eyes and glanced at Zhongli, then turned around and walked straight ahead.

Looking at Zhao Yiyan, who was suddenly angry, Zhongli didn't understand what was wrong with what he just said. Isn't he all thinking about Zhao Yiyan, why is he angry?

Zhongli touched his nose and chased after Zhao Yiyan.

The two of them took a turn on the streets of the capital, and it was really just like what Zhao Yiyan said, there are here, there are border cities, there are no here, there are still border cities!

If there's anything that interests Zhongli, it's probably the restaurant here.

Zhongli himself is the owner of the restaurant, although he is used to eating dishes from all directions, but he also wants to come here to taste the characteristics of other people's houses.

The two found a more famous restaurant, ordered a few signature dishes, and asked for a hot pot at Zhao Yiyan's insistence.

It was snowing outside, and eating hot pot inside was also a special taste, so Zhongli didn't refuse.

Since the hot pot spread from the border city a few years ago, it has become the most popular thing in the entire Apocalypse and even several small countries around, and there is no one.

As soon as the food was served, Zhongli didn't find any difference between the hot pot warehouse and Gucheng here, but when the shabu-shabu mutton was put into his mouth, Zhongli couldn't help but spit it out, grabbed the tea around him and poured a cup, whether it was cold or hot, and poured it directly into his mouth.

With a glass of water, Zhongli felt a little better.

Zhongli gave up the mutton, directly picked up the vegetables and soaked them in the pot twice and tasted them slowly.

Zhao Yiyan didn't miss the expression on Zhongli's face, especially after eating the mutton just now, the uncomfortable expression made Zhao Yiyan a little curious, what kind of taste made Zhongli so annoying.

It wasn't until he took a bite that he understood why Zhongli had reacted so much.

How can people stand such a big smell? Especially after he's used to eating things from all directions.

Zhao Yiyan directly picked up the teapot and drank it.

Zhongli here, after tasting the vegetables, put down his chopsticks and looked at the hot pot in front of him, with a serious face, as if he was doing some special research.

"This is the best restaurant in Beijing?" But Zhao Yiyan, who was eating next to him, didn't have so many taboos, frowned and glanced at the people around him who were eating hot pot, and said coldly.

"Hehe, maybe it's our different tastes, right? It's hard to reconcile, isn't it? ”

Zhongli also followed Zhao Yiyan's gaze and looked at the people around him, but he didn't show mercy like Zhao Yiyan.

"Second brother, but isn't this thing just a matter of getting some chicken soup and putting some food on it? Why is there such a big difference in taste? "Zhao Yiyan is a little curious about the hot pot, obviously it looks the same on the surface, how can it taste so far worse.

"Of course it's different, the hot pot in Canggu City is because of the recipe researched by the shopkeeper of Hui Bafang himself, and this recipe has not been passed on. But now there is one in the capital, and I haven't heard that Hui Bafang has anything to do with other restaurants, so I guess that the hot pot here is just made according to the appearance, and they don't know the ingredients needed for those hot pots, so it's the taste. ”

Zhongli threw everything to the shopkeeper of Hui Bafang, and never said the secret recipe. Although they learned some of the fur of hot pot, but did not learn the essence, for example, the reason why the hot pot of Hui Bafang is high and delicious is because there are medicinal diet and medicinal materials researched by doctors in recent years in the soup pot, not to mention this, and the most important point is where the secret of Hui Bafang lies.

Not to mention the various spices she provides to Hui Bafang, there is also an indispensable point for each of these dishes.

That is, chicken essence!

The entire Zhong family Zhuangzi and many people in the nearby Zhuangzi have more than a dozen to dozens of chickens, ducks and geese in each household, and Zhongli has always purchased them on a large scale, not only to clean and collect the feathers they slaughtered, but also to use a lot of chickens to boil chicken essence.

The chicken essence boiled out by yourself is much better than in modern times, because it is boiled out by yourself, and there will be no miscellaneous additives.

But today's incident made Zhongli think that it was time for the shopkeeper to open Hui Bafang to the capital, and he had been opening branches in various parts of the Apocalypse before, wanting to avoid the royal whirlpool, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't escaped this day!

But as long as he thought that he could make a lot of money, Zhongli couldn't help but smile on his face.

Zhao Yiyan looked at Zhongli with a thief smile on his face, and was a little curious, but before he could ask, he was stopped by Zhongli's next words.

"Okay, big brother, I don't think we can eat here, why don't we go out and eat casually, and then go back to our respective homes?"

"To each his own home? Why don't you invite me, the eldest brother, to your house to have a look? ”

How could Zhao Yiyan let go of Zhongli so easily, he knew very well what his purpose was for coming this time.

One is worried that Zhongli will be troubled in the Four Princes' Mansion, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and a person who comes out casually can trample Zhongli to death with one foot, and Zhao Zijian's attitude is unclear, he is a little worried, and the second is that because Zhongli did not return to Qingwangfu with him, this matter still makes him a little troubled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyan couldn't help but sigh.

It's really for the person in front of him, he can even say something like that, and now I'm afraid that the entire Apocalypse knows about his hidden disease.

"Back to my house? Forget it today, another day I will prepare my eldest brother's favorite Buddha jumping over the wall and invite you to my house! ”

Zhongli can't forget Zhao Yiyan's eyes just now, now that he thinks about it, his hairs are about to stand up, it's better to let him go home and calm down, he doesn't want to break his sleeves after Zhao Yiyan doesn't raise it, and it has something to do with him.

I'm not afraid of anything, but it's not good to affect my family because of this!

In particular, the other party is still the god of war of the Apocalypse, and he is also the emperor's important minister.

Seeing that Zhongli insisted, Zhao Yiyan didn't want Zhongli to make things difficult, and in the end, the two of them went home after eating some snacks on the street.

However, this snack is not satisfactory, and it is far from his own Zhong's snack.

Hearing that Zhongli was back, Wang Qinglin hurriedly greeted him.

"Second young master, you can count it back, someone came to the palace just now, saying that you will enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint."

In the afternoon, when I was instructing people to tidy up the yard, I saw a man who was a little wrong enter the door, with a proud look, and he was looking for Zhongli when he came in.

Looking at this menacing posture, Wang Qinglin thought that something had happened to Zhongli, but he didn't expect the other party to reveal his identity, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for Zhongli to come back, and simply read out the emperor's dictation.

Just looking at the other party's menacing appearance, how could Wang Qinglin not worry in his heart?

"Oh? Let me face the saint! Did you say anything specific? ”

Zhongli sat on a chair in the main hall, and a servant brought a cup of hot tea to her hand, and he frowned and asked curiously.

"I didn't mention that, but you have to be careful. I think it's a little weird, after all, how long have we only been here? There is nothing wrong with being careful, and besides, it is said in people's dramas that a companion is like a tiger, and you may be killed if you are not careful! ”

Wang Qinglin spoke worriedly, his face full of worry.

"I know, you go and rest, I'll take care of it tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Zhongli was ready and drove to the palace.

In front of the palace gate, the guards stopped the carriage, and Zhongli could only enter the palace on foot.

The surrounding splendid buildings are enough to make people frightened and timid, but Zhongli has no intention of looking at it at this time, but is full of thinking about what kind of person the emperor is?

From what I heard before, I can conclude that he is a stubborn, an eccentric, and a ruthless and suspicious, but today, what face do you let yourself see?

She is just a businessman, and she is also a businessman with the lowest status, if it is because of the Four Princes and the Border City Academy, this is understandable, but the time is too tight, so she has to think a little more.

Zhongli raised his vigilance, this time it will definitely not be so simple!

At this time, the emperor had already moved to the imperial study, following behind his father-in-law, his feet were a little painful, and finally saw the tall and magnificent imperial study in front of him, Zhongli finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was stopped by his father-in-law with a smile on his face outside.

"Zhong Gongzi is waiting outside the door now, and the miscellaneous family will go in and report it."

"I'm tired of my father-in-law."

Zhongli bowed slightly to his father-in-law.

Watching his father-in-law enter the imperial study, he stood outside the door and waited for the emperor's announcement, slowly calming down his somewhat apprehensive and uneasy mood.

In the end, I saw the emperor for the first time since ancient times, and I don't know if he is so majestic in books and TV, so domineering.

"Young Master Zhong, Your Majesty let you in!"

It didn't take long for the father-in-law to come out and make a "please" gesture for Zhongli to enter the imperial study.

After saluting his father-in-law again, Zhongli finally entered the imperial study.
