Chapter 3 The Guogong Mansion is really miserable

After Yun Bai was beaten, he was not in a very good mood, and with scars all over his body, he limped back to the Guogong Mansion.

Although the weather has warmed up and all kinds of plants have begun to bloom with life, the Guogong Mansion is in a gloomy.

It's sparsely populated, and although it's in a busy city, it's as barren as a mountain...

Dead leaves all over the ground!

The vermilion gate has turned pale and cold red, the plaques and so on have become old, the paint on the pillars and walls is no longer evenly red, and many places have been dried and cracked by the sun.

There are no guards standing guard in front of the door!

Even the two stone lions at the door were stained with sludge in the cracks, losing their former majesty.

The moss on the steps indicates that there have been no guests here for a long time.

It's almost noon, and the gates are still closed!

"Bang bang bang!"

Ji Xiaobai stopped at the door and knocked on the door!

"Open the door! Open the door!

According to memory, the Guogong Mansion is very lonely, and the subordinates are almost gone, slaves... I was also sold out by the previous owner of the body.

But three old men were still left to guard the mansion.

Why keep those three people?

One is because the three people used to be the subordinates of the old marshal, and the previous master of the body wanted to attack them, and he also had scruples.

Second, because the three people are too old to sell, and they have no children, no daughters, and no support, they don't know where to go, so it is better to stay, first, they can clean and guard the mansion, and second, there is someone to call.

Three... In fact, the most important point is that these three people are hob meat, absolutely obedient to the orders of the old marshal, and they also have some cultivation.

Before the old marshal disappeared, he once ordered them to protect the Guogong Mansion for life, and these three people are really loyal, no matter whether the Guogong Mansion is prosperous or declining, they have always guarded it here... The former owner of the body once mentioned that he should let the three of them go, but he didn't expect the three old men to get angry on the spot, and they also flashed their knives, saying that whoever dared to let them disobey the old marshal's order would be killed! Ji Xiaobai was so frightened that he didn't dare to mention letting the three of them leave in the future.

It's been a long time!

The door loosened for a moment, then creaked before it opened.

"Young Master... You're back?"

An old man in his seventies opened the door and looked at Ji Xiaobai unexpectedly.

His body was thin and thin, and the skin on his hands, face, and other parts of his body was dry and flattened as if he was dehydrated, and wrinkles were all over his body.

Hair is rough, gray and gray!

This man is already very old.

What is the difference between him and the average old man?

Maybe it's those bright eyes, and the teeth that haven't fallen out.

"Don't you live in Binh Duong?"

If you don't stay in Pingyang Mansion well, eat and drink well and enjoy the glory and wealth, what are you going to do when you return to the Mansion?

Over here... But I can't afford to feed one person.

To be honest, the old man is not welcome to this master.

"Sending people under the fence all day long, being looked down upon by others, being low, eating soft rice, this kind of hypocrisy, is it a man's doing?" Ji Xiaobai replied.

Ahem, with all due respect, didn't you like this the most before?

"Men of our generation, stand up to the sky and the earth, and strive for self-improvement!"

Listen to this!

It can't be kicked out!

Look at the wounds on your body...

It must be like this, tell me about you, as a quasi-concubine, actually raising a green building in front of the princess's bread, what is this?

The old slave felt that he had seen through everything.

As for standing up to the sky and the earth, self-improvement?

Don't be funny!

Our son, not that kind of person!

"Childe, please come in!"

Although the old slave said that he didn't like this nonsense, no matter how he said it, he was also the master of the Guogong Mansion, and as a subordinate, how could he refuse it?

"Hmm!"

After Ji Xiaobai stepped into the Guogong Mansion, the door was closed again.

As expected, the place is in ruins, all kinds of furniture... No!

Decoration?

Even the warm sunshine seems to have abandoned this place.

It's cold!

Except for an empty shelf, the Guogong Mansion really didn't know anything.

Even the most basic living utensils such as chairs and tables were sold by the previous owner of the body.

The fish in the pond and the bonsai in the yard are absolutely not left that can be sold.

This made Ji Xiaobai couldn't help but admire, the degree of defeat of the previous master of the body has reached the peak of perfection.

"Let's all come out to meet Childe, he's back. ”

Ji Xiaobai didn't know the name of the old slave, he only knew that his name was Lao Li!

Lao Li's call was especially loud in the Guogong Mansion, which had been quiet for a long time.

This mansion!

Desolate and deep, like a demonic abyss.

Discomfort!

"Childe, you're back. ”

"Childe!"

After a while, two people came out of the deep courtyard, one was about fifty years old, it was a man, his characteristic was that he was densely covered with various traces, only one arm, but in his eyes, there was a fierce color of a tiger and wolf flowing.

One is a woman, this woman, who is also over sixty years old, has no disease and no scars, but she is also wrinkled, and she can't see any good years.

"Hmm!"

Ji Xiaobai nodded.

"Childe hasn't eaten yet, has he?" asked the old woman.

"I really haven't eaten yet. ”

I only ate two bites in the morning, and now it's noon, and the Five Organs Temple has rebelled.

"Childe, please go and rest first, and the old slave will send it to you. ”

After finishing speaking, Yun Bai was taken to the resting place by the two old men, there were no tables and chairs, and the stools were made of unsightly logs, cut horizontally into columns thirty or forty centimeters high.

The table was randomly nailed out of a slightly larger uneven plank.

This... That's too bad, isn't it?

Ji Xiaobai was speechless.

No way... I must change this situation, the first step is to solve the problem of eating, and the second step... At least I can buy some furniture and use it back.

Dignified traverser, if you mix up like this, you still have to be ashamed!

"Childe, please be seated!"

Lao Li, and Zheng Hu, who was covered with scars, sat down respectfully to serve Ji Xiaobai.

The old woman came back and forth, carrying a large bowl of food in her hand.

Ji Xiaobai was happy, the stomach acid in his body was already excited, and he also secreted a lot of saliva in his mouth.

"Childe, please use it!"

However, when he saw the large bowl of food, his face darkened.

I saw the inside of the bowl... It was all soup, or water, and there was a whole big bowl, in which only a three-finger-wide vegetable leaf floated on the soup, and there was not a trace of oil in sight.

"It's... Do you usually eat these things?" asked Ji Xiaobai.

This is too miserable, isn't it, the dignified state and the government, doesn't the imperial court have a little subsidy?

Isn't this worse than a beggar?

"No... Usually we eat worse than this thing. ”

Is it worse than this? Do you mean there's no such leaf?

Is it all soup that is so light that it is no different from water?

Oh... No, how did you live so long, you sin?

No wonder it is said that the Guogong Mansion can no longer afford to raise Ji Xiaobai, this is true!

"Go, buy something delicious and come back, let's open meat." ”

Ji Xiaobai took out a few ingots of broken silver from his arms and threw them on the table.

The silver was obtained from the killer, not much, and it was definitely enough to eat a few good meals.

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other.

What's wrong with the young master today?

actually paid for the family, and I didn't care about it before.

"Yes!"

In the end, Lao Li made a quick decision, immediately put away the silver and walked out, if it was too late, the lord regretted it, what should I do if I took the silver back?

Gotta hurry up and exchange the money for food!

"You guys sit too!" Ji Xiaobai spoke.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Zheng Hu and the cook Guan Pozi were stunned at the same time, when did this master become so considerate of his subordinates?

It was already good not to tell them to get out of the way before, but now why has it changed so much?

Is the sun coming out of the west?

"What are you doing in a daze, sitting. Ji Xiaobai continued to command.

He thought the two men were strange, didn't he just tell them to sit down? Is it necessary to be so surprised?

As everyone knows, Zheng Hu and Guan Chuniang are even more strange, and they thought that Gongzi was evil, otherwise they would never be so kind.

"No, Childe sit down, we won't sit down. "Zheng Hu is very unnatural.

Seeing them like this, they would never sit down, and Ji Xiaobai didn't bother to care about them, because he was too hungry, he took a sip of the soup in front of him...

"Poof!"

The smell immediately made him spit it out, and he drank the first sip, and the second sip could no longer be eaten.

This is 10,000 times worse than water.

You say normal water, refreshing and cool, no peculiar smell, but this soup... But he put a vegetable leaf on it, and the taste suddenly changed.

"Childe... You are!" Guan Chef Niang frowned, seeing that this lord was wasting food, she didn't like it.

"I'm sorry... I just can't stand the smell. ”

Ji Xiaobai said apologetically.

Oh my God! Childe has learned to apologize, it can't be possible, I must have heard it wrong.

Guan Chef Niang's forehead is unbelievable.

Even Zheng Hu's eyes widened.

"No... It's okay!" Chef Guan felt that the three views had been subverted.

Ji Xiaobai smiled and set his eyes on the soup in front of him again, in order to let Chef Guan not be disappointed, or... I'll take another bite?

Thinking of the taste of the soup, he gave up and turned his attention to the leaves.

Ji Xiaobai picked up the vegetable leaves and ate them with lightning speed.

There is nothing to say about the dish, it is not unpalatable, but it is definitely not delicious, the taste is the same as chewing wax, and there is no taste.

But! had already taken him by surprise.

"Not bad!"

He praised.

Puff... This practice made the two of them fall down.

In their memories, Childe would not have any words of praise in his head, except for waste, unpleasant as shit, and other swearing, they didn't seem to have heard any words of praise before.

They felt that Childe was too abnormal today.

"Childe, I bought something, in addition to what I ate today, I also bought a lot of ingredients, and we don't have to worry about food for a while in the future. ”

Lao Li took matters into his own hands and bought vegetables and rice with all the money.

Because he was afraid that his son would regret it and take the money back.

"It's coming... Hurry, hurry... Serve it and we'll eat it together. Ji Xiaobai hurriedly ordered, he didn't care whether the money was spent or not, he just wanted to have a good meal.

Asked Lao Li to put the vegetables he bought, including meat, fish, chicken, etc., as well as a pot of wine.

At his strong request, the three of them were flattered and sat down to eat with him, the master.

It seems that the reason why they haven't opened meat for a long time is that they taste it with a fine taste and a pleasant look on their faces.

But after Ji Xiaobai took a bite, his face turned completely dark.

"This is the dish made by the famous restaurant? The fishy smell is so strong, and it can make such an unpalatable dish, it is also a famous building?

He was furious.

Is the food that is difficult to come to this world so unpalatable? It seems that he is wrong to blame the food in Pingyang Mansion, and he is also wrong to Guan Chef.

It's not that they deliberately take unpalatable things for themselves to eat, but the things in this world are not delicious in the first place.

When the three of them heard Ji Xiaobai's words, they were also stunned, they felt that this dish was very delicious, why was it difficult to eat?

"Childe... This... It's a celebrity chef's work, and I think it's pretty good. ”

"Okay, this is good?" Ji Xiaobai immediately took the case.

"Ben Gongzi will let you see what is called food today!"

As he spoke, he took the ingredients that Lao Li bought back and went to the kitchen.

Ji Xiaobai decided, if he wants to eat a good meal, he has to do it himself.

The three of them don't know why.

What is this mad about?

Sick!

Regardless of him, he finally went to the big restaurant to buy a few vegetables to open meat, but he couldn't waste it, so they didn't care about Ji Xiaobai, and just ate it with such essence and taste.

It doesn't last long!

Ji Xiaobai came back again with two dishes in his hand.

With a bang, he placed the two dishes in front of the three of them.

"This is the dish! This is what people eat, you can taste it!" Ji Xiaobai said.

He wants people from other worlds to taste the food of China, what people eat.

"It's... Childe did it?"

When will Childe cook?

Do you really want us to eat it?

Don't say it, it's pretty good-looking, but just having a good look, is it really okay?

"Yes!" Ji Xiaobai was furious. "Try them all, I will let you know what is the enjoyment of taste, and you will never want to eat any more dishes made by ghosts. ”

"Yes!"

The three of them responded, Childe, don't blow it, okay, don't we know what level you are? As long as it's not unpalatable, we're already grateful.

Still a taste pleasure?

They don't have much hope for Ji Xiaobai's cooking skills, but this practice of cooking by himself is still worthy of recognition.

Lao Li smiled and put a piece of meat in his mouth...

His face changed drastically, the smile froze instantly, and the chopsticks in his hand fell from his hand with a clatter, but he didn't notice it, and sat there stunned.

It's like an out-of-body soul!

Guan Chuniang and Zheng Hu were embarrassed.

Is Childe so unpalatable? But no matter how unpalatable it is, you can't show it, right?

"Don't blame Childe, Lao Li is old and confused, so he will have this reaction, let the old slave taste Childe's craftsmanship. Zheng Hu has already made up his mind, no matter how unpalatable the son is, he can pretend to be delicious and praise him.

I, Zheng Hu, have fought all my life, what scenes have I never seen?

Isn't it just a plate of unpalatable dishes?

I can't stand it?

As he spoke, he smiled, picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

And then! His face changed dramatically!

Although the chopsticks in his hand did not fall, he was also stunned.

"How is that possible... It can't be ......," he said, with horror in his eyes.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ji Xiaobai smiled, he understood that his little fried meat had successfully amazed the two of them.

But Chef Guan doesn't think so.

What the hell did Childe do?

They were all killed in battle, and I was the only old woman, and I must not show anything unusual.

I'm a cook, what food haven't I seen?

You can't beat him!

"Ahem, let the old slave also come and taste the childe's food. As she spoke, she unnaturally slipped the piece of meat into her mouth.

Chef Guan was also stunned!

Delicious!

"It's... Is this a dish? It's art!"

The three of them were completely shocked.

"How is it? Is it delicious? How does my food compare to the craftsmanship of the famous chef?" Yun Bai asked with a smile.

Is it tasty?

Can this be described as delicious?

It's a delicacy that doesn't exist in the world.

When they first tasted Chinese food, they must have thought it was delicious.

"Childe... This... Is this really what you did?"

"Then is there a fake?" Ji Xiaobai didn't care.

"Childe is really a god chef!"

They genuinely compliment.

"It's been a prize! Do you think that if I open a restaurant with such skills, will I be able to have a business?"

How scary would it be to open a restaurant with this kind of craft?

Nobody knows!

But... But they saw the hope of a resurgence of the Guogong Mansion.

When they looked at Ji Xiaobai, their eyes were full of fire.

Childe, have you changed your ways?!
