In fact, Bai Chang has always felt that the names of ancient people were too arbitrary, but there are also very special ones.

For example, in ancient times, Pangu, Nuwa, and co-workers.

There are also Wu Ding, Chong'er, and Bigan in the Yin Shang period.

Gou Jian in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the husband is poor, the cadre general, and Mo Xie.

Let's see, are they all special, and although I can't understand them, they make people unclear when they look at them.

But there are also very casual ones, such as the one in front of him, his father's name is Yi Ya, and he is called Yi Zi.

What if Yi Ya had a few more sons?

Yi Zi 1, Yi Zi 2, Yi Zi 3?

Bai Chang was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, he hurriedly retracted his thoughts and listened to Yi Zi tell about what happened after Yi Ya was exiled.

It turned out that Yi Ya was exiled for a dish decades ago, and when the Hades King was furious and drove Yi Ya away, he soon became a new head of the imperial kitchen, which is now Yi Sheng.

This Yi Sheng, claiming to be a descendant of Yi Yin, the famous minister of Shang Tang, this Yi Yin was raised by the Ku people since he was a child, and the Ku people were the meaning of chefs at that time, so he was proficient in cooking and good at cooking.

Later, Yi Yin joined Shang Tang as the prime minister, helped Tang to fight Xia, defeated Xia Wei, and founded the Shang Dynasty, which was called a phase through the ages by later generations.

Legend has it that Yi Yin was very interesting when he saw Shang Tang, he first made a soup for Shang Tang, Shang Tang tasted it and then summoned the cook, Yi Yin saw Shang Tang, he started from the taste of the soup, and slowly talked about governing the country with the way of cooking, which won Shang Tang's trust and worshiped him.

Speaking of the name Yi Yin, it is also very interesting, because his mother lives in Yishui, so he takes Yi as his clan, and the meaning of Yin is the prime minister.

Yi Yin is not only a famous minister, a politician, and even a saint, he is also revered as the ancestor of Chinese cooking, the saint of cooking, and in terms of fame and status, he is far above Yi Ya in all aspects.

Therefore, after the Hades King exiled Yi Ya, he appointed Yi Yin's descendant, Yi Sheng, as the head of the imperial kitchen, which seemed to be logical, and no one dared to express any objections.

But in the decades since Yi Sheng took office, for some reason, the quality of the dishes in the imperial kitchen has quietly begun to decline.

Of course, Yisheng's own cooking can always come out on top and get the favor of the Hades, but others are more and more out of favor, and even more and more unpopular.

In the almsgiving conference once every five years, the Hades Palace, which had always been dominant, also lost ten games in a row, and for this reason, the Hades King was repeatedly angry, but it was to no avail.

This time, the Hades had already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare the dishes for the almsgiving conference, but until now, none of the dishes could satisfy the Hades.

For this reason, the old cooks in the imperial kitchen, such as Ma Po, Song Sister-in-law, and Shao Bo, are very depressed, racking their brains these days to come up with many innovative dishes, and yet, they are ......

Yi Zi told these secrets in the imperial kitchen of the underworld, Bai Chang couldn't help but feel strange, so he asked Yi Zi, why did the quality of the dishes in the imperial kitchen plummet after Yi Sheng took office?

Yi Zi sighed and said, that's because the oil used to cook in the underworld is of poor quality, and the best oil is the oil of the Nine Yin.

But after Yi Sheng took office, Ma Po and Sister-in-law Song once said privately that the quality of the oil of the Nine Yin seems to be much worse than before, and the taste of the dishes made is not as good as before.

This can only be said behind his back, no one dares to question it face to face, especially since there is never a problem with the dishes made by Yi Sheng, which is even more incomprehensible.

Yi Zi is best at making all kinds of cakes, but he is the son of an exile, although he still lives in the imperial kitchen, but he is not qualified to use the oil of the nine yin, so the cakes he makes are always slightly flawed, and it is difficult to achieve perfection.

When Bai Chang heard this, he subconsciously glanced up and said strangely: "You are not qualified to use the oil of the Nine Yin, but where you live, why is it opposite the warehouse where the oil of the nine yin is stored, what does this mean, could it be that Yi Sheng deliberately wanted to lure you to steal the oil, and then frame you?" ”

"Brother Bai is really smart and clever, not only does Yisheng want to lure me into stealing oil, but he also wants to falsely accuse me of stealing oil at any time, but I have always been strict with myself, I never go out when I have nothing to do, and among the many chefs, there are still people who have been secretly helping me, so I am still safe and sound, and I haven't let him catch it for decades."

"In this way, that Yisheng is scheming, maybe he came up with the idea of excluding your father. But what is the purpose of doing this? ”

"Alas, in fact, I have been here for decades, and I have seen some problems, but I am soft-spoken, knowing that he did it on purpose, but I can't come forward to testify, otherwise I will fall for his tricks and harm myself."

Bai Chang suddenly said: "When I came in just now, there was a person with a scar on his forehead who walked into the warehouse, that person is Yi Sheng?" ”

Yi Zi nodded: "That's right, it's him, when you saw him just now, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

"Anomalous ......," Bai Chang thought back, "he took two people into the warehouse, and he hid utensils on his body, and it seemed that he had bribed the guardian ghost, this ...... Does he have any ulterior secrets? ”

"That's right, in fact, I've always suspected that Yi Sheng stole the oil of the Nine Yin without permission and exchanged the inferior oil for it, so the dishes in the Hades Palace will get worse and worse. He was plotting to frame me for this crime so that he could exonerate himself in the future. ”

Yi Zi talked eloquently, Bai Chang nodded secretly, thinking that this young man who seemed to be only a teenager had a deep mind, far above Yi Ya, and he analyzed everything clearly without leaving home.

Not to mention anything else, he can be safe and sound for decades in this treacherous Hades Palace, and he can still make his little shortbread well, which is very commendable.

Bai Chang lowered his head and thought for a while, and then understood the reason why Yi Zi said this.

The oil of the nine yin is now managed by Yi Sheng, if Yi Sheng guards himself, steals the beams and changes the pillars, and secretly exchanges the oil of the nine yin for inferior oil, then naturally he will not distribute lamp oil to soul-attracting lamps all over the world.

Therefore, if you want to obtain the oil of the Nine Yin, there are now two ways, one is to sneak directly into the warehouse to steal it, and the other is to expose Yisheng's true face, take the lamp oil in a grand manner, and return to the world.

But these two methods, in the current situation, are almost as difficult as the sky.

After all, the Son of Hades is high up and trusts Yi Sheng, what must he do to bring down Yi Sheng?

Bai Chang pondered for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"By the way, Yi Zi, just now you said that the Hades Palace has already lost ten games in a row. But if you can win for the Hades Hall in this conference, then the Hades will naturally trust you. I think this is probably our only chance! ”
