The old patriarch and Li Baichong brought the meal prepared by Huang Tinghui to the living room.

For a time, the dining table in the living room was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Stir-fried pork with chili, crucian carp soup, grilled fish on a teppanyaki, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried vegetables, eggplant with minced meat......

The dishes are rich and appetizing.

"Tinghui, during this time, I always told my cousin that it was your sizzling grilled fish!"

"If nothing else, your sizzling fish skills are really top-notch."

"Eating this teppanyaki grilled fish only makes people feel fragrant and endless!"

As he spoke, the old patriarch took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.

The grilled fish on the iron plate was crispy on the outside, but there was a smell of fish in the mouth, which quickly melted in the mouth, and you could see from the old patriarch's expression how much he enjoyed it.

"You!" Li Baichong smiled and pointed at the old patriarch, and he was not to be outdone, he picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

I can't describe it in words.

Seeing that the old patriarch and Mr. were having a good meal, the little girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

As for Lu Qiaosi, he pointed to the pot of crucian carp soup that exuded a rich fragrance, and said to Huang Tinghui, "Daddy, Daddy, Qiao Si wants soup!" ”

"Good, good!" Huang Tinghui heard Lu Qiaosi's request, picked up a small porcelain bowl, scooped a spoonful of fish soup, and put it in the bowl.

The snack was drinking fish soup, and the whole person was much more well-behaved.

After eating several bites of fish, Li Baichong put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Although the Confucian classics have a saying that "food is silent, sleep is silent", Li Baichong does not have so many rules.

After all, rules are dead, people are alive.

Who says you can't talk at the dinner table?

"Tinghui, recently the mountain chief and I have a letter, related to you!!" Li Baichong looked at Huang Tinghui and said.

Hearing Li Baichong say this, Huang Tinghui was also interested for a while.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

"It has something to do with the capital!" Li Baichong took a sip of wine, and then said to Huang Tinghui.

"Beijing?" After hearing Li Baichong's words, Huang Tinghui was even more confused.

He has never been out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so how can what happened in the capital have anything to do with him?

"Do you remember the jade Buddha you found for the Xiao family?"

"This will not be forgotten!"

"The Jade Buddha takes the waterway and goes from Hangcheng Mansion to the capital!"

"But in recent years, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has fallen into disrepair and has been blocked!"

"So the Jade Buddha was blocked in the middle of the way, so naturally he missed the birthday of the Empress Dowager!"

"When today's son's biological mother's birthday gift is blocked in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, how can the Son of Heaven not be angry?"

"At that time, the Son of Heaven was about to attack, but one person intervened to stop the Son of Heaven!" Speaking of this, Li Baichong picked up another piece of fish meat and put it into his mouth.

He sold a pass to Huang Tinghui.

"Guess who?"

Hearing Li Baichong's question, Huang Tinghui showed a helpless wry smile.

"Sir, you still like to ask questions."

"If the student guessed correctly, this person should be the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, under one person, and above ten thousand people, Zhang Xianggong!"

Hearing Huang Tinghui say this, Li Baichong showed a pleased smile.

"Hahaha, hahaha......"

"I made a bet with the chief in the letter, saying that you would be able to guess!"

"Just bet on a book from the mountain chief, but the mountain chief refuses to bet with me!"

"Now it seems that I really didn't make a mistake!"

"It's just that the mountain chief is too cunning!"

Li Baichong took a sip of wine a little unwillingly, and he said with a smile to Huang Tinghui.

"That's right, it's Zhang Xianggong!"

"In the whole world, the one who can persuade the current son and make the son of heaven change his mind is the former emperor, Zhang Julu, the first auxiliary minister of the dynasty!"

"Just when the Son of Heaven was angry, Zhang Shoufu walked out, he told the Son of Heaven about filial piety, and the birthday of the Empress Dowager was a happy day, if it was stained with blood, it would not be a good thing!"

"In the end, Zhang Shoufu also advised His Majesty from the perspective of natural and man-made disasters, saying that the Xiao family cannot be blamed for this matter, but the people of the household department are responsible for the blockage of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."

"Between the words and a few words, Your Majesty's anger dissipated, and the matter of the Jade Buddha will be over!!"

"If it weren't for Zhang Xianggong's action, the disaster of the Jade Buddha might not have been completely over!"

Li Baichong told Huang Tinghui about this matter lightly.

Hearing his mentor's description, Huang Tinghui also shook his head.

Sure enough, the status is different, and the role played is different.

It took so much effort to find the Jade Buddha, but in the hands of a character like Zhang Julu, he only needs to give one or two advice to today.

But the things that made the Xiao family full of disasters easily calmed down.

This also made Huang Tinghui feel more emotional.

"Brother Hui, what kind of dish are you cooking, this spicy!"

"It's just pork, why is it so delicious!"

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" The old patriarch picked up a chopstick pork and put it in his mouth, he had never eaten chili peppers, his brows furrowed, and the appearance of the whole person was so indescribably sour.

"This thing is called chili pepper, and it was spread to our land of China by the Fanren!"

"The reason why I was able to get this thing is really accidental!"

"Zhang Cheng met Fanren in the early years and got some seeds from them, and pepper seeds are one of them!"

"Stir-fried pork, beef, and lamb with chili peppers are all wonderful, very tasty, and go well with rice!"

Hearing Huang Tinghui say this, the old patriarch hurriedly nodded, "This thing is indeed a meal!" ”

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

"Brother Hui, if you don't have the talent to read, you want to be a cook, and the future is absolutely limitless!"

"With this skill, even the imperial chefs in the palace are afraid that they can't compare to you!" The old patriarch who ate happily couldn't help but praise Huang Tinghui.

However, this sentence attracted Li Baichong's dissatisfaction, "Hmph!! ”

"Mingzhang, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Everything is inferior, only reading is high, only reading can become a superior person, in order to have a greater place to play talents."

"Tinghui is talented, if he is immersed in the subtle means of cooking, how will he fulfill his ambitions in the future?" Li Baichong didn't want his most talented disciple to be bewitched by the old patriarch's words.

Therefore, he immediately said to the old patriarch.

was taught a lesson by his cousin, and the old patriarch with the highest rank on weekdays was also speechless with a smile.

However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was still very harmonious, and the snack seller Lu Qiaosi dropped a third of the sweet and sour steaks.

As for the old patriarch and Li Baichong, they were not polite, and the two of them ate the iron plate grilled fish cleanly.
