One is a childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, and the other is a husband who raises his eyebrows. Neither of them could afford to offend, she whispered, "That, two, are you hungry?" Why don't you have a meal together? ”

After she finished speaking, she felt like her brain was pumping. What a meal!

And the two on the other side said yes in unison! Make her want to jump out of the window and leave the land of right and wrong. Now, I can only bite the bullet and call Xiao Er to let him come to a table of classic Dongzhou dishes.

Chu Qinzhi looked at her uncomfortable appearance, and sighed silently in his heart, why bother her so much. He took the initiative to divert the topic and turned sideways to Zhong Tingli. "Since you have arrived in Dongzhou City, you must have seen the tragic situation inside and outside the city. I wonder what you're going to do next? ”

Zhong Tingli recalled what he had seen and heard in the past few days, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his words gradually became heavy, "The drought in Dongzhou City is far less than that in Jiaozhou, Shandong and other places, even if one-third of the grain is burned, the remaining grain can still be supported, and the people of Dongzhou City will be able to provide three months' rations. Why are there so many people affected in Eastern State? It's something I can't figure out. ”

Chu Qinzhi sneered, "Strange things, not only this one, the people who robbed us in the first place, the things they explained are even more interesting." ”

Zhao Xibao recalled the scene of being kidnapped that day, and he was indeed full of doubts. The power behind the copycat robbery turned out to be the government. A letter from the Assassin made them willing to surrender and surrender without a single soldier, giving people the impression that the Assassin was their real master.

In the few days that Zhao Xibao and the rice merchant were arguing, Chu Qinzhi interrogated the people in the cottage, and most of them did not know, only knew that when there was no way out, it was the cottage that took the initiative to take them in. Even though there is a shortage of rice and grain every day in Dongzhou City, everyone in the cottage can have enough to eat. Over time, the reputation of the cottage spread, and more and more victims went out of the city to join the cottage, as if there was a tendency to develop into a small force.

They don't know any history of thorns, only that they regularly have people who come to guide them in arming and training their legs and feet. When asked this, Chu Qinzhi probably knew in his heart that the thief would capture the king first.

Chu Qinzhi did not detain the old village owner and let him operate in the camp of the Shence Army. He wasn't worried that the old village owner would run away or kill himself. The owner of the old village can make the people of the village obedient and obedient only by virtue of the seal and handwritten letter, which shows that the owner of the old village trusts the assassin very much and obeys his orders. Since the assassin is still in the city, there is no need for the old village owner to escape, even if he wants to escape, where else can he go!

In the course of Chu Qinzhi's interrogation, he learned that the owner of the old village was under the control of the family, and the cottage seemed to rob the rich or high-ranking officials in a targeted manner, and knew the movements of the wealthy and high-ranking officials in the city well. For ordinary people, sometimes they will help.

Every time the old village owner faced Chu Qinzhi, he was always silent and did not speak. Chu Qinzhi was not in a hurry, he competed with patience, and the old village owner just wanted to drag his energy and time slowly. The old village owner could guess that Chu Qinzhi's identity was higher than that of the assassin, but he couldn't figure out whether the assassin was voluntary, or he was forced to write a letter of obedience. The old village owner is also waiting and looking for an opportunity.

What a faithful servant!

Since Chu Qinzhi received the report and knew that Zhong Tingli had come to Dongzhou City, he quickly pulled out the camp and immediately rushed back to the city. His wife, she can't be abducted by some young people.

Chu Qinzhi simply finished talking about the situation of the cottage, and Zhao Xibao had more doubts. "Since the owner of the village is a warm-hearted person, and there are Zhao friends, he must also inform him of the purpose of this trip. He already knew that our new rice was used to settle food prices and relieve the disaster, so why did he withhold it? ”

Zhong Tingli combined what he heard in the city, and there were mixed evaluations about the history of assassination. Some people say that Thorn Shi is a heinous bad guy; Some people say that he has never had an unjust, false or wrongful case against the people; Some people say that he is incompetent and incompetent, a puppet, a shrunken turtle as cowardly as a mouse.

There are different evaluations on the same person. Perhaps what we know is only one side of the history of thorns. Thousands of people and thousands of faces, which side is the real history of thorns.

Xiao Er brought the dishes, and each plate was Zhao Xibao's favorite dish. Zhao Xibao was puzzled, she obviously only instructed Xiao Er, saying that she was ordering a table of classic Dongzhou dishes, but did not specify what she wanted, and let the kitchen serve it at will.

She looked at the abundance of dishes in front of her and was stunned. There are such chefs in Dongzhou City, and their skills are wonderful! Fish belly Tibetan mutton, the combination of fish and sheep, fresh! The open furnace suckling pig is bright red in color, shiny in oil, tender in skin and crispy, and it is very appetizing to look at. Boiled fish fillet, salt, oil, chili, pepper, green onion, ginger, garlic, millet spicy, etc. are just right, and the meat is soft. Stewed soft-shelled turtle with ham, soft-shelled turtle has a good blood purification effect, regular food is beneficial to patients with heart disease, and can also make up for labor injuries, aphrodisiac qi, and make up for the lack of yin, how can the chef still have this dish! Jinling salted duck, the skin is white and oily, the meat is tender and reddish, the filter is greasy, the fishy shame is repellent, the freshness is left, and the fat is tender. Oyster phoenix claws are tender but not raw, oily but not greasy. Steamed hairy crab with a steamer, orange in color, fresh and sweet meat, dipped in vinegar sauce, beautiful taste. A cup of hot stewed chicken with ginkgo nuts is nutritious and nourishing, warming the body and stomach. A dessert rock sugar Xianglian, sweet and sweet.

Chu Qinzhi served a bowl of chicken soup, Zhong Tingli took a fat crab, and the two touched each other's hands. There seemed to be swords and swords in the air, Zhao Xibao took one in one hand and took the hospitality of the two. "Don't bother the two, please do your own, which dish I want to eat, I can clip it."

Chu Qinzhi let go of his hand, and Zhao Xibao developed the habit of drinking a bowl of soup before eating in the palace, so naturally, he picked up the chicken soup first and drank it obediently one spoon at a time. She lowered her head and was drinking the soup, completely ignoring Zhong Tingli's lowered hand and lost eyes. Bao'er, today's eating habits are different from before. It's good, as long as Bao'er is happy.

Chu Qinzhi did not blindly give Zhao Xibao vegetables to show off his affection. He knew that if he did that, Madame would be disgusted. If you can foresee what kind of behavior, it will make Madame angry. Well, he must not do it. After all, the Great Lady of Heaven and Earth is the biggest. He already has a wife, and there is no need to show off.

Although the meal was delicious, she was somewhat uncomfortable when the two eyes were staring at her. These two naïve men are not afraid of her indigestion. Now, her only thought is that the cook's food is delicious. If it is used by me in the future, then there will be delicious food in the meal!

When she slipped into the back kitchen, she found that it was a woman who was in charge. The force of the spoon up and down, the swaying of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, is like a painter splashing ink and waving an animation brush, drawing a freehand picture. The movements are beautiful and skillful, I never expected that the sympathy between the chefs suddenly made her feel like a bosom friend. She waited for the cook to finish cooking, and while she was resting, she saw a needle in it.

"Today, I was fortunate to eat a table of feasts, full of color, flavor, and taste, and I couldn't help but want to see what kind of person could make such a good dish. Gathering the characteristics of several major cuisines, you must have traveled to many places? Zhao Xibao chatted with the cook, and when the cook mentioned the craft, there was no joy on her face, but tears rippled and her eyes were full.

The cook wanted to talk, but Zhao Xibao caught a glimpse of the restaurant shopkeeper coming over, she dodged, tsk, the restaurant shopkeeper's face changed so fast. When meeting guests, the shopkeeper grovels and flatters. When he was in the back kitchen, he commanded the cooks, as if he was a particularly big official. The cook lowered her head and listened to the reprimand, without the slightest resistance and dissatisfaction, as if she had long been accustomed to all this! Zhao Xibao couldn't see similar scenes the most, and the flower protection soul in her body made her can't help but help.

Since the attitude of the shopkeeper is simply the providence of heaven for her to expand her business territory in Dongzhou City, so that she must poach this cook, she is determined to open another restaurant. With such a good skill of a chef, where is it not to survive?! Why be angry here.

After the shopkeeper left, she slipped to the cook's side. The cook was looking down to chop vegetables, when she suddenly saw her come out from behind her, and was so frightened that a kitchen knife split the cabbage in half. Zhao Xibao was also scared, in case the cook misses and is split in half, it will be Zhao Xibao.

She shushed and looked at the cook. The cook looked at the woman in front of her with curious eyes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, her eyes were playful and innocent, and she seemed to have something to say to herself. Zhao Xibao lowered his voice, "When you're done, take the time to go to the back door, I have something important to tell you." The cook nodded unconsciously, could it be that the woman in front of her recognized herself?

Zhao Xibao originally wanted to change into men's clothes to act conveniently, the skirt could be seen but not practical, running over the wall or something, it was a bit procrastinating, which did not conform to her style of acting. Considering that when the cook finishes today's work, the guys around him will also call it a day and go home. In case it is seen by the cook's acquaintances, the chef has a tryst with a man in the alley, and it is not good for the chef's reputation to spread out.

Zhao Xibao was waiting for someone in the alley, and the two uncles around her followed her closely every inch, for fear that one of her would accidentally run away with the other party. Zhao Xibao endured and endured, he really couldn't help it, two big men followed, in case he frightened other girls, how bad! The two of them couldn't listen to her at all. In the end, Zhao Xibao had to compromise and let the two of them drink tea at the tea stall where she could be seen, and she carried a small bench and waited in the alley in the backyard of the restaurant.

"Zhong Tingli, thank you for taking care of Bao'er for so many years."

"Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, I used to miss the pearl, but now I am just her brother-in-law, I just want to try my best to protect her and make her happy."

"You don't have to, this king's wife, this king should take care of it. Since, you admit that she is your sister, but after all, there is a difference between men and women. She's doing well now, and she doesn't need you to worry about it. ”

Zhong Tingli, who is honest and responsible, how can he be the opponent of the black-bellied and domineering prince.
