Chapter Seventy-Four: Yuan Tianye's Bottom Line

It's the end of the month, ask for a pink ticket!

β€”β€”*β€”β€”*β€”β€”*β€”β€”

Hearing Ma Jiaoxi's question, Lin Xiaozhu was suddenly shocked in his heart, knowing that he was bent on doing his best, but he was careless. But there was nothing on his face, he raised his eyes calmly, and said with a little doubt: "Isn't it like this?" That day, the big kitchen made fried radish with meat, and I tasted it, and when I saw the meat slices, it was cut like this. If you think about it, you also know that if you cut it along its lines, the meat will not be easy to bite off, and it will definitely not be so tender to eat. Ma Teach Xi what you just said is a small slippery meat, of course, the more tender the better. So I cut it like that. What, isn't that right? After speaking, he frowned suspiciously, picked up the slices of meat he had cut and studied them carefully.

It is not surprising that there is a master as smart as Yuan Tianye, and then there is a child like Lin Xiaozhu who is a little savvy. So she explained it like this, and Ma Jiaoxi didn't have any doubts, and nodded lightly: "That's right." It's good that you can look closely and realize this. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Ma." Lin Xiaozhu knew Ma Jiaoxi's intentions, but he didn't care about his indifference at all. After being affirmed, she thought that she could go back to class to learn knife skills, and her heart was relieved. In her previous life, she studied in an ivory tower and grew up in a peaceful and stable environment, and she didn't like to have disputes with people, let alone with teachers. This matter can be passed so smoothly and smoothly, it is perfect, what does it matter if Ma Jiaoxi gives her a look for a while for the sake of face?

"Lin Xiaozhu, is this the right answer?" Zhou Yuchun, who had never figured out the problem, looked at Su Xiaoshu in disbelief when he heard Ma Jiaoxi's affirmation.

"That's nature." Su Xiaoshu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Jiaoxi no longer paid attention to Lin Xiaozhu, turned around, pointed at Wu Pingqiang and said, "Wu Pingqiang." Tell me, what did you learn from that incident? ”

Lin Xiaozhu solved that problem so perfectly that Wu Pingqiang felt another frustration. Seeing that Ma Jiao Xi called his name, he cheered up and replied: "The dishes are different, and the shapes of the ingredients needed are also different. For example, if the radish is used for stir-frying, it is naturally better to cut it into shreds; If it is used for stewed soup, it is naturally better to cut it into pieces. This thing. The teaching is probably trying to tell us that knife skills not only have to be practiced hard, but also have to use our brains to think. Otherwise, even if you cut the ingredients out of a flower. It is also in vain if it does not meet the needs of that dish. ”

Ma Jiaoxi finally had a smile on his face, and said appreciatively: "Well said." Well said. When we do things, we should not only know how to do it, but also know how to think. ”

After speaking, he said loudly: "Okay." Each person went to get four turnips, and I showed you how to cut them straight. ”

"Hmph. I can't even do it, what's the use of thinking about it? Zhou Yuchun glanced at Wu Pingqiang, muttered in a low voice and followed Su Xiaoshu back to his desk. Lin Xiaozhu is obviously doing so well, Ma Jiaoxi still has a nose that is not a nose, and a face that is not a face; And Wu Pingqiang just said a few words casually, and Ma Jiaoxi was full of smiles and praised. This is obviously eccentric! Isn't it just looking down on girls?

Fortunately, although Ma Jiaoxi didn't pay much attention to Lin Xiaozhu next, he didn't embarrass her. I showed everyone how to cut shredded radish quickly and well, and let everyone practice. Lin Xiaozhu carefully figured out the method taught by Ma Jiaoxi, and then cut the radish according to the method. I feel that it is really better than before, and I can't help but be overjoyed.

Now that the matter has passed, it is time to gather firewood in the evening. Lin Xiaozhu, who remembered the old man, decided to go to Qingxi Town to have a look.

And when Lin Xiaozhu walked through the tunnel. In the small courtyard where Old Man Xue lived in Qingxi Town, there were a few unfamiliar faces.

Zhang Dong was sent by the old man to the kitchen to make tea, and then he was slammed on the acupuncture points behind his back, and he didn't know what to do.

Old Man Xue, who was sitting on the seat in the middle of the hall, where was the old man Lin Xiaozhu saw with a kind face but a somewhat careless behavior? At this time, although he was still wearing a coarse cloth green coat, the majesty unintentionally revealed in his gestures made people unconsciously hold their breath and dare not look directly.

He looked at the few people kneeling below, with a look of displeasure on his face: "What's the big deal in this Beiyan, you need to wait for more than ten days to investigate?" ”

The people underground hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty is angry, the ministers are incompetent, let Your Majesty wait for a long time, please punish Your Majesty." ”

He was also familiar with the old man's temper, and he didn't dare to excuse himself anymore, so he hurriedly reported: "Back to Your Majesty, this king of the Northern Yan Kingdom is terminally ill and will die soon." Although the crown prince was designated as King Duan, the king's second son, King An, was poisoned by King Duan at the age of five because of his youngest son Yuan Yang, who was known as a genius, and he was unwilling to do so, and he has been operating in secret. In the past ten years, six or seven out of ten ministers in the DPRK have been controlled by him. It is not yet known whether there will be a big coup d'Γ©tat in Beiyan and whether it will affect the people. The reason why the ministers have been tracking down for longer than ever is because the ministers found that although King An announced that his youngest son Yuan Yang was dead that year, his words were not true. According to the secret investigation of the ministers, Yuan Yang was rescued after being poisoned, and for his safety, King An sent him to Xiling Kingdom to raise him, and asked a famous teacher to teach. This son was extremely intelligent, and he was very popular with the king of Beiyan back then, and he once said that when he grew up, he would pass the throne directly to him. This caused King Duan to be dissatisfied and poisoned and killed. Yuan Yang grew up to the age of ten in Xiling, then secretly returned to China, secretly cultivated countless talents of all kinds, and used the method of infiltration to control the ministers of the court, wanting to help his father and brother seek a big position, in order to avenge the vengeance of the poison of the year. His nearest camp was in a valley just two miles from the town. ”

The old man frowned: "Liu Yuan." ”

A man in black floated down from the roof, kneeling on the ground and arching his hand: "The subordinates are here." ”

"You tell Zhang Congzheng about the situation of Yuan Tianye that you found out."

"Yes." Liu Yuan responded, "Yuan Tianye, now fifteen years old, has two mountain villas in a secret place within a radius of 100 miles. The villa and courtyard are not nominated to prevent traceability. The nearest mountain village has 20 stewards and 65 children bought from the mountains, learning various skills. There are more than 10 shops in Qingxi Town, which belong to Yuan Tianye, operating various industries such as restaurants, teahouses, and rice shops, in order to collect information and support the daily expenses of the two villas. ”

Zhang Congzheng was taken aback when he heard this, and looked up at the old man: "This Yuan Tianye is Yuan Yang." Amano's name is the name he gave himself after he fled abroad after being poisoned. He has so many eyes and ears in this town, and your whereabouts, your majesty, ......"

The old man waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't plan to hide it from him." The owner of a restaurant in the town, who was called Liu Erye, was his subordinate Yuan Er. He knows my identity, but he doesn't bother with etiquette, it seems that this Yuan Tianye is still a knowledgeable person. The royal families of all countries know that as long as it does not affect the peace of the people and does not allow mediocre and tyrannical people to govern, I will not interfere in the internal affairs of various countries. Therefore if I do not say it, he will assume that he does not know. It was enough to think that he understood what I meant, and at the same time made it clear that it would not affect the people. ”

He also instructed: "You just need to keep people to continue to pay attention to the political situation in Beiyan, and you don't need to be too concerned." ”

"Yes." Zhang Congzheng responded, and looked up at the old man again, "Your Majesty, in this case, while it's still early, should we leave for Xiling immediately?" ”

The old man glanced out of the door, frowned, and said, "I'll talk about it in a day or two!" His gaze turned to Liu Yuan, "Did you inquire last night?" How's that girl doing now? ”

"Miss Xiaozhu has been admitted to the cooking class. However, because she was too thin and lacked strength, she couldn't lift the spoon, and there was a teacher who was reluctant to accept her, and he wanted to embarrass her. "Although Liu Yuan is a man in his forties, dressed very coolly, what he said was extremely gossipy.

"Didn't you say that Yuan Tianye was extremely smart? I don't think Your Majesty is very good! The old man snorted in his nose, caught a glimpse of several people still kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand, "Get up, this room is very stuffy, I want to go out for a walk." After saying that, regardless of whether these people followed or not, he stood up and strode out.

The men looked at each other, smiled bitterly, stood up, and followed.

Therefore, when Lin Xiaozhu climbed out of the well, jumped out of the broken wall, and returned to the gate of the courtyard in a big circle, he saw that the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and there was no one empty.

"Old man, old man...... Zhang Dong ......, "Lin Xiaozhu searched for the inner courtyard from the outer courtyard, but there was no one in sight, and finally found Zhang Dong in a coma in the kitchen, and her tears flowed down her eyes.

With so much silver, she was always worried that something would happen. No, isn't there something going on?

"Zhang Dong, wake up, wake up."

Zhang Dong breathed normally, his face was ruddy, and there were no blood stains on his body, but no matter how she shook it, she couldn't wake up. Lin Xiaozhu gritted his teeth, carried a bucket of cold water and poured it downβ€”but Zhang Dong still didn't move.

Lin Xiaozhu wiped a handful of tears and ran out. Zhang Dong is too heavy, she can't move, she has to go to the doctor, and she has to report to the official......

Running to the outer courtyard, she was about to step out of the courtyard door, when she suddenly made a "bang", and before she could react to anything, she was pushed to the ground, and then shouted: "What are you running blindly?" ”

"Ah, girl, are you alright?" A familiar voice exclaimed.

"Old man." As soon as Lin Xiaozhu heard this voice, he didn't care about the pain under his buttocks, and looked up. The one who looked at him worriedly was not Old Man Xue?

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing the tears on Lin Xiaozhu's face, the old man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and shouted angrily at Liu Yuan, who had pushed Lin Xiaozhu down just now, "How did you do it?" It's so heavy! ”

"I ......" Liu Yuan looked at his hands, very aggrieved. He is a guard, so naturally it is impossible for people to touch His Majesty. But when he shot just now, he was afraid of injuring a good person by mistake, so he used the lightest force. This little girl may have hurt a little when she falls, but it really doesn't hurt to the point.
