Chapter 44 Because I have lived two lives
"The people below are ignorant and disturb the princess, why should the princess of the country be angry?" Shi Shiran, a white-haired, white-eyed and white-bearded old man in a white robe and a fairy wind, walked out, with a compassionate smile on his face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, as if all the sins in the world were worthy of forgiveness.
Demonic! Ouyang Li looked at the national teacher vigilantly, just now he actually had the idea of confiding everything to the national teacher! If he really told his secret, he would probably be burned to death! Or drowned? It's a chill to think about.
Shi Yuqi had already seen this national teacher, and he knew that this magic stick was also a little capable, so he was not too surprised. After all, if you can become a national teacher, how can you not have your own merits?
The national teacher spoke to her so politely, Shi Yuqi was a little ashamed, "The protector of the country had no intention of bothering, but because the national teacher tower is the tallest building in the capital, it is best to watch the sunrise here, so I came uninvited." Protecting the country has disturbed the purity of the national teacher, and I hope that the national teacher will have a large number of them, be compassionate, and don't worry about me. ”
Shi Yuqi pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, looking like he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and made up a set of rhetoric in a gag, watching the sunrise is not fake, as long as he still comes out to give Ouyang Li a chance to find her. The Princess Protector's Mansion is full of traps, how did this second cargo get into the Princess Protector's Mansion?
Who knew that these two goods actually made the entire National Teacher Tower know! It's infuriating!
"Haha! The princess is driving, it's too late for the little old man to be happy! The national teacher smiled heartily, not caring about Shi Yuqi's attitude and obvious lies, "Can the princess take a step to speak?" ”
"National teacher, please!" Shi Yuqi didn't know what the national teacher had to say to her alone, but she didn't refuse. Because the national teacher is her master's old friend, the national teacher will not harm her.
"Princess, please!" The national teacher led Shi Yuqi into the National Teacher Tower. The guards stood in the doorway like statues, preventing anyone from entering. Ouyang Li didn't know why Shi Yuqi didn't refute, but since the boss didn't refute, it meant that there was no danger.
The first floor of the National Teacher Tower was very empty, and there was nothing there. There was nothing but the jerky runes on the four walls, the six pillars that led to the sky, the staircase leading to the second floor, and the slightly raised round platform in the center of the main hall.
"What does the national teacher want to say to me?" Shi Yuqi looked at the trench on the round platform, and a wave of rejection surged inexplicably in his heart. Shi Yuqi couldn't help frowning, turned his head and asked.
The national teacher still smiled kindly, but the words he said were like thunder on the ground, which stunned Shi Yuqi's head.
"I want to ask, what is the purpose of all visitors from outside the world to come to Zhuzhou?" The national teacher saw Shi Yuqi's micro-expression, and also knew why Shi Yuqi was disgusted with Jiuzhuan Shengtai, but he wouldn't say it.
"Why doesn't the national teacher think that we are souls returning to their original position?" Shi Yuqi calmed down and asked with a smile. Either way, she couldn't show panic.
The national teacher's gaze fell on the round platform in the middle, as if he recalled something, "Because...... Old decay has gone through two lifetimes. ”
"You ......" Shi Yuqi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it at all.
"Go princess, when the time comes, the old man will naturally tell you everything." The national teacher walked inside by himself, and sighed faintly, "Life and death are fate, why bother to be persistent!" ”
I don't know when, Shi Yuqi's hand hanging down at his side has been clenched into a fist, leaving a deep mark on the palm.
Shi Yuqi didn't know how she got out, and by the time she came back to her senses, she was already standing in front of Ouyang Li.
"Boss! I've been calling you for a long time! What did the stick tell you? Ouyang Li couldn't help but poke Shi Yuqi's shoulder, and was almost reflexively twisted by Shi Yuqi's arm.
Shi Yuqi calmed down, stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Ouyang Li's head, "It's nothing." The state banquet is about to start, and the three princes are not going back? "It's not distrust, it's just that until all the truth is known, the less people know about it, the better. Shi Yuqi pulled the corners of his mouth and walked away. The corners of the skirt that flew were like Shi Yuqi's heart, and the waves were rolling.
Ouyang Li twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at someone who was walking away, and resigned himself to his legs and followed.
At the request of Haiyun Kingdom, today's state banquet was held in the open space in front of the Jinluan Palace. A clearing is enclosed in the middle, and in the center of the open space is the problem of Haiyun Country. The plate covered with a red cloth sat quietly on the table, looking very mysterious.
"As we all know, Haiyun Country is surrounded by the sea on all sides, so today's question is also related to the sea." Ouyang Li said, paused, and saw that he had aroused everyone's appetite, so he continued, "A few days ago, our fishermen caught some fresh fish species. The meat of this fish is fresh and smooth, and the prince asked the chefs to think about some fresh ways to eat it. ”
Ouyang Li uncovered the red cloth, revealing a thin and uniform fish meat, with a green sauce, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Ouyang Li meant.
"This fish slice is eaten raw in a dipping sauce, but it tastes good. However, the cooks can't always cut out the thickness that the prince is satisfied with, so I ask you to help. "Ouyang Li's polite appearance is very confusing, with deeper facial features than Jiangnan people, light brown eyes, and as handsome as a foreign prince.
Sashimi! Shi Yuqi's gluttony began to move again, she didn't care what Ouyang Li looked like, after all, if she was stupid like that, her appearance would be lowered. Shi Yuqi only knows that she likes to eat fish, especially this kind of fish without spines!
"Dare to ask the third prince what is the degree of satisfaction in his heart?" Everyone inevitably despises it, just cutting a fish, how difficult can it be? Is Haiyun Kingdom treating the state banquet as a family?
Ouyang Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, nodded politely, and calmly said something that made people not so calm, "Thin to transparent." ”
"......" transparent! Are you sure it's transparent?
Which chef came out and cut everything?
The other four countries looked at each other and were transparent...... It's really hard for them. This time they are all gentlemen who are far away from cooking, although they brought a cook, but which cook can meet Ouyang Li's request? They can't anyway.
"The third prince is a little embarrassed!" Someone looked embarrassed. Ouyang Li glanced at him, a native of the domain country. Since you are from the domain country, let's be scared!
"This adult, our chef can also cut it to translucent, which means that as long as the chef has good knife skills, it is not impossible to do it!" Ouyang Li went back, he hadn't forgotten that the domain country was Dongfang Shuo's territory. Which of the nine characters of the Blood Killing Mercenary Group is not noble and cold? Dongfang Shuo offended nine at once, heh, what else can I say?
The man was speechless, asking himself if no one in the domain country could do it. Most of the food of the people of the region is not exquisite, after all, the country is not the kind of country that is intoxicated with enjoyment.
Dongfang Shuo set his eyes on Shi Yuqi, if someone could do it, he only knew Shi Yuqi.
Shi Yuqi is a foodie, and he has studied the methods of his favorite foods. And sashimi, he saw her make it with his own eyes. The kind of thin as cicada wings, delicate and transparent, is only made by Shi Yuqi.
However, Shi Yuqi didn't seem to care, and still sat in the position and ate leisurely, self-contained, as if the things around her had nothing to do with her.
Chefs have been trying it one after another, and the best result is translucent. No one in the domain country has tried it, because the chefs in the domain country are self-aware. They can't make the kind of delicate and delicious dim sum like Huaguo, Liguo and Fuso.
Shi Yuqi yawned, and watched boredly as the cooks went up with their heads held high and came down dejectedly.
was in a daze, Shi Ruoyan suddenly stood up.
"If the courtiers are like smoke, see the emperor."
Everyone looked at Shi Ruoyan, who raised his head with a smile, neither humble nor arrogant. Shi Yuqi knew that she was enjoying this feeling of being in the limelight.
Zhao Hongmei's hand under her sleeve was pinched loosely and tightly, and her palms were wet and sweaty.
"Oh? Miss Shi wants to go up and try it? Emperor Hua raised his eyebrows and smiled, and glanced at Shi Yuqi. He probably knew Shi Ruoyan's thoughts, and the left and right were his daughter's little tricks, so there was no need to care too much. can find some trouble for Shi Yuqi, and life will be more fun.
"Definitely! The qualifications of the courtiers are dull, and the mother does not allow the courtiers to learn that kind of skill. But the courtiers know a person, who has learned cooking since she was a child, and it's no problem to solve this kind of thing! ”
As soon as Shi Ruoyan said this, the chef who had just come on stage immediately became angry!
What people are so arrogant! None of these cooks learned their skills since childhood! Now a person who doesn't know whose name is suddenly appears, and he threatens to solve "this kind of thing"! This makes them where to put their face! If you enlarge your words, you must first weigh your own ability!
"Oh? So talented? Where is this person? Vantage followed Shi Ruoyan's words, and seemed to be in a good mood. Thinking that she could make trouble for Shi Yuqi and make her face that didn't care about big things, Vantage felt that she was in a very beautiful mood.
Shi Ruoyan smiled as if she was in control, "This person is not an outsider, but the cousin of the courtier." She has been learning cooking with her uncle since she was a child, and she must be an extraordinary cook! She didn't care if Vantage would call Shi Yuqi out, as long as she said that Shi Yuqi was proficient in cooking, she could force her out. Those celebrity chefs who think highly of themselves will not tolerate Shi Yuqi, a fifteen-year-old girl, riding on their heads in the field they are best at.
That's right, she just wants to push Shi Yuqi out.
If Shi Yuqi succeeds, she also has a share of credit, because the person was recommended by her. But Shi Yuqi couldn't please her, because Shi Yuqi sat next to her and didn't react, if someone hadn't recommended her, she would have just watched Hua Guo lose face.
If Shi Yuqi didn't succeed, it would also be Shi Yuqi's face lost. After all, that Haikou was praised by her for Shi Yuqi. Moreover, her mother is also involved, and if she loses, she will lose face with her mother.
This kind of good thing, how could Shi Ruoyan let it go?
