"Actually, Miss Su's poison has long been resolved, and her injuries have healed. But she insisted on staying in the capital, saying that it was the instructions of the master. A talented and beautiful girl like her will be very popular wherever she goes, and now she is a Qingqi person in Minghualou. It is said that since she came, there has been no suspense in the dispute between the Teaching Workshop Division and Minghualou, and Minghualou has won all of them. Many sons have spent a lot of money for Su Wen, and several of them are powerful masters......" Somehow, Zhou Yu always felt that Chen Jin's tone had some schadenfreude.

"Since she has already made another living in the capital, what does it matter if she sends me a letter? Why do you deliberately pretend that there is no news? Zhou Yu asked.

"Well, I don't know, that's what she meant anyway. But I have one more piece of good news, would you like to hear it? When Chen Jin said this, Zhou Yu felt that his appearance was very unbeatable.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Zhou Yu said impatiently.

"I heard that after Su Wen arrived at Minghualou, she still took the poems you gave her with her, and took out these poems to share with the guests. Anyway, I think she still has a little bit of affection for you, do you want to find her? Chen Jin began to gossip.

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "Anyway, she will also come to participate in the Kitchen God Competition, and I don't know what to say when I go to her now, let's make the meeting seem more accidental, at least it is more natural to greet each other." ”

"It's also a good choice, tomorrow is Dabi, you get ready." Chen Jin got up and prepared to leave.

"It's not me going to compete, what am I going to prepare?" Zhou Yu said lightly.

"Whatever you want! By the way, Ruolan heard that you were going to bring Erniu to the competition, so she wanted to come and see it. _o_m Chen Jin turned his head and added.

"Come on, come on, anyway, one more is not too much, and one less is not too much." Zhou Yu didn't pay much attention to it.

After some exchanges, Chen Jin went home.

Late at night, Zhou Yu sat in the study, and the pale yellow light illuminated the whole room transparently. Zhou Yu slowly picked up the pen and wrote a poem in his mind:

The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March.

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen.

When he had finished, he carefully folded the paper, hesitated, but did not take it with him. Then he quietly turned off the lights, closed the door and left.

A good night's sleep, a sleepless night.

The next morning, Zhou Yu took Li Erniu to the venue of the competition, Donghai Building.

As a time-honored high-end restaurant, the decoration of Donghai Building is even better than that of Juxian Building in Luozhou. Not only does it also have a three-storey building itself, but even the surrounding antique jade is also a genuine treasure, if someone carelessly bumps and breaks it, hundreds of taels of silver will have to be smashed here.

There were a lot of people who came to the scene, not only invited, but also some who watched the excitement nearby, which also caused congestion on the road. couldn't squeeze in for a long time, Zhou Yu and Li Erniu could only stay in place and wait for the changes.

Fortunately, not long after, Zhou Yu found two familiar figures in the crowd.

"I said, you're all here, what are you doing standing here? Let's go inside! Chen Jin looked at the two people standing by the crowd stupidly, and said suspiciously.

"You take a good look at the situation here, I can't shrink my bones, I can't fly in from the sky, right?" Zhou Yu didn't have a good airway.

"That's because of this? Okay, Xiaojin and I will take you in! Chen Ruolan said with a smile: "Eh, your apprentice can come to participate in the Chef God Competition at such a young age, it's really terrifying!" ”

Chen Ruolan's statement is already a bit euphemistic, and the implication of this sentence is: How do you let a child come to the competition?

"Ruolan, don't look at Erniu's young age, he is the chef of Luozhou Juxian Building, Zhou Yu's proud protégé! I don't dare to say anything else, but in the realm of Luozhou, apart from his master, you can't find a second chef more powerful than him! For Chen Jin, who understands the situation, Li Erniu's strength is beyond doubt.

"So powerful? Then I'll try your hand at it later! Chen Ruolan looked at Li Erniu with some surprise, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Li Erniu stuck out his tongue helplessly to alleviate it.

Stress in your own heart.

After a few simple greetings, Zhou Yu and Li Erniu followed Chen Jin into the Donghai Building. As for why they can ignore the crowd, it should be mainly due to the difference in identity.

The participating chefs have to go to the designated place to pick up the ingredients, which is also communicated with the organizer in advance. For the sake of fairness, all dishes and condiments are provided by Donghai Building.

Some dishes are complicated and require the stock to be cooked in advance, so many chefs come early.

After briefly explaining a few words to Li Erniu and encouraging them before the game, Zhou Yu and Chen Jin drank tea.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the house you promised me ......" Zhou Yu mentioned what he was most concerned about as soon as he came up.

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. I'm not a gentleman, but I pride myself on being a man of my word. Since I have promised you, I can't break my word and get fat, from now on, the house is yours! Chen Ruolan didn't cheat, but happily gave the house out.

"Thank you, princess." Having a suite for nothing, this is something that Zhou Yu couldn't have imagined in his previous life.

"Also, didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to call me princess on weekdays, why did you forget it?" Chen Ruolan said with some dissatisfaction.

"Then I should be called ......," Zhou Yu said uncertainly.

"What do you usually call Xiao Jin?" Chen Ruolan picked up the teacup and asked with a sip.

"Old Chen." Zhou Yu said the somewhat shocking answer.

Hearing his words, Chen Ruolan almost squirted out the tea in her mouth. Fortunately, her endurance was enough, but she was also choked and coughed repeatedly. If she really didn't control herself, it would ruin her elegant and dignified image too much.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Zhou Yu asked.

"What are you called...... It's still quite chic! Chen Ruolan tried her best not to laugh.

"It's okay......" Chen Jin interjected inappropriately.

"Forget it, I can't control this kind of title, you just call me by my name, Ruolan." Chen Ruolan obviously couldn't understand the way Zhou Yu and Chen Jin communicated.

"Okay."

"A few days ago, Uncle Lian Wang Huang mentioned the matter of the southern expedition to his father, but he was severely opposed by his father, and it is said that Wang Xiang is also preparing to negotiate peace with Wei in the north, so that I can free up my hands to fight with Qianguo. I think Wang Xiang's approach is right, if you don't hurt the Qianguo, there will be no peace in the south of our country! Chen Jin said excitedly.

"Since I was a child, my father asked you to read more books, but you just didn't believe it! How could Wei be willing to let us defeat the Qianguo smoothly? If the two countries really go to war, the Wei State will definitely send troops to attack the northern border of our Wen State when the war is in full swing, so that our Wen State will be difficult to take care of, and defeat will be inevitable. If he could take this opportunity to weaken the strength of Wen, it must be the situation that the Emperor of Wei was most willing to see. Chen Ruolan knocked on Chen Jin's head and said.

After listening to the discussion of the two, Zhou Yu felt in his heart that Chen Ruolan was smarter than Chen Jin.

"Your words are very similar to what Lao Zhou told me before, Lao Zhou, what do you think?" Chen Jin turned his head and asked.

"You only saw the first layer, and you thought he was on the second floor, but he was actually on the fifth floor." Zhou Yu threw out Mr. Ma's "mille-feuille" theory.

"What do you mean?" Chen Jin and the others asked in unison.

"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak...... If you say it, it's a catastrophe! Zhou Yu shook his head mechanically.

"It's just for you to tell me whether it's better to fight the country or not, why is it a big disaster?" Chen Jin didn't understand this.

Zhou Yu glanced at him, and then said: "I said wrong, you only saw the first layer, thinking that they were also on the first floor, but in fact you are in the underground layer." ”

"What's one floor and two floors? We're not building a house! Zhou Yu's unstated approach made Chen Jin feel very annoyed.

"Call you stupid and you still don't admit it!" Chen Ruolan knocked on Chen Jin's head again, and then said, "Zhou Yu, you go on, I guarantee that you are safe!" ”

As a result, Zhou Yu kept shaking his head: "Your guarantee is useless, they are not fuel-efficient lamps!" ”

"No, what the hell are you two talking about?" Chen Jin was a little anxious, this situation of not knowing the situation was him.

The most unacceptable.

"If you're not willing to express your opinions, then I'm going to take back that yard!" Chen Ruolan supported her right face with her palm, looking a little playful.

"Hey, why do you bother with each other......" Zhou Yu sighed.

"Oh, what do you say you can do clearly?" Chen Jin let out an angry cry, which could also be called an impotent rage.

"Didn't I tell you the truth that you can't fight to the death with Qianguo a long time ago? The specific reasons are also very detailed, you should not have forgotten, right? Zhou Yu looked at Chen Jin and asked.

"Of course, does this have anything to do with the one layer and two layers you just said?" Chen Jin asked rhetorically.

"Since the Qianguo must not be attacked, why does Prince Lian want to advise His Majesty to send troops to the south? If Prince Lian didn't notice it for a while, then why did the prince also try his best to promote this? Wang Xiang has been an official for more than 30 years, and he has been sitting in the position of prime minister for 15 years, which can be regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties. Even I can figure out the truth, but he Wang Cheng doesn't understand? Zhou Yu said.

"What do you mean?" Chen Jin still didn't quite understand.

But Chen Ruolan, on the other hand, was silent thoughtfully.

"This year, there are disasters in Hedong, Henan, Longyou and other provinces, and it is not a good time to go on a large-scale expedition. If you want to win in battle, you need to have the right time, place, and people. But now none of these conditions are met, but some people just advise the emperor to send troops at this time, this kind of person is either bitter or has ulterior motives! Zhou Yu said it easily, but his words were very sharp. @*~~.br>

"Zhou Yu, do you mean that Emperor Lian and Wang Xiang don't really want to start a war with Qianguo, but want to do bad things in the name of war?" Chen Ruolan asked with a solemn face.

"No, no, no, I don't mean anything! I'm just an ordinary person, how dare I talk about government politics? The Erniu competition is about to start, let's go and see it together! Zhou Yu chose to change the topic.

Although Chen Ruolan did not continue to ask, the smile that often showed her sweet face disappeared at this moment. Now there is only a shadow on her face, so she almost wrote the words "heavy heart".
