"Are you sure he's ever tasted it? Is it possible that they are trying to blow you up?"

Zhang Zezhen and Xu Yue glanced at each other, then shook their heads.

"What does that fake dish you make taste like?"

"Hard to swallow!"

"No wonder it's suspected, no matter how ignorant people know how can the imperial dishes of the palace be so unpalatable?"

"But Teacher Lu, what if Xu Mingyuan really eats Feng Feiyuan? Isn't that really going to give the secret recipe to others?"

"Hmm...... Even if he had eaten it, it was decades ago, and it was impossible to distinguish the taste so accurately, and besides, the cooking skill is related to him and the person, and different people will taste different when they cook the same dish."

"What do you mean?"

"You might as well make this dish more delicious, first, to hide it from him, and second, to test whether he has actually eaten it."

"Mr. Kelu, I'm not familiar with the way this dish is made, and I really don't know how to mix the flavor except for making it the original way."

"Well, don't worry, I can give you a fake recipe."

Zhang Zezhen: ......

"Xiao Tian, go to the left drawer in my room and find a locked box."

"Yes, sir!"

"Teacher, what the hell is it?" Zhang Zezhen is very curious....

"You'll find out later!"

"Sir, here you go!"

I saw Lu Gaozhi take out a key from his body, then opened the box, took out a folded letter from it, and then handed it to Zhang Zezhen.

Zhang Zezhen took it, opened the letter, and saw that the ingredients and grams on it were almost the same as his secret recipe, the only difference was that the matching of the Chinese herbs and dishes involved in it was different.

"Teacher Lu? How did you have this?"

"That's a long story." Lu Gaozhi recalls the events of decades ago.

"I think at the beginning, Jin Xiliang and I were friends who talked about everything, don't look at him as just a cook next to the emperor, but this person's knowledge and cultivation are extremely high, and he is deeply respected by the emperor and the ministers of the court."

"Then why didn't he become an official and choose to be a cook instead?"

"He likes to be quiet, he doesn't like to deal with some complicated official business, and his personality is a little paranoid, and he doesn't want to be in the same stream as the ministers in the court, so he is willing to be a cook, develop some favorite dishes, and spend his old age in peace."

"Who expected ......"

"Teacher, how did Mr. Kim disappear?" Xu Yue asked.

"This matter is an unsolved mystery in the entire imperial court, one day, the emperor suddenly wanted to eat the dish of Feng Feiyuan, so he sent someone to the imperial kitchen to find him, but everyone searched every corner of the palace, but there was no news, and since then, he has not been seen again."

"And how did you get this recipe? Could it be that he taught you how to cook?"

"Hahaha! Not really. He's a guy who likes to make recipes and try different ways to do the same dish."

"So, there's a different recipe for this dish?"

Lu Gaozhi nodded and said, "The recipe you got can be said to be an ingredient or a medicinal herb, because it has the effect of curing diseases, but the formula I gave you only satisfies everyone in terms of taste, and has no substantive medicinal effect."

"However, I think the grams are about the same, there is not much difference, how can there be such a big difference in efficacy?"

"Take a good look at it!"

Zhang Zezhen picked up the secret recipe and compared it with the Feng Fei wish she had made before, she read it word by word, and suddenly she found something, and a smile appeared on her face.

Xu Yue felt that Zhenzhen must have discovered some big secret, so she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Lady, what have you discovered?" Tell me!"

"In this secret recipe, some healing Chinese herbs have been replaced with ordinary ingredients, although they belong to the same item, but because of the different ways of preparation, their medicinal effects are very different."

Xu Yue doesn't know how to do it

Rice, so he was confused, he touched his head, looked at the lady, and then looked at the teacher.

"Hahaha, Yue'er, you have to learn from Zhenzhen!"

Xu Yue nodded dumbfoundedly.

"Zhenzhen, you are really a genius, maybe one day you can replace Jin Xiliang and become the new imperial chef."

"Teacher, don't make fun of me, I'm a woman, how can I enter the palace as an imperial chef?"

"You're getting smaller!"

"Don't laugh, teacher, there is one more thing, what if Xu Mingyuan knows that this is also false and not good for my family?"

"Hmm......" Lu Gaozhi's expression became serious, this is indeed a problem.

"In this way, I will let Xiao Tian go to your house to guard, in case there is any trouble, I can also help!"

"Sir, what about your comfort?"

"I don't care, I have so many friends, what am I afraid of?"

"Huh? Teacher Lu, if you don't do that, you can go to my house to live!" Zhang Zezhen said with a smile.

Lu Gaozhi was a little overwhelmed by this sudden invitation!

"You see, Xiao Junshi is alone, and he lacks skills, if you can live in my house, then he doesn't have to be embarrassed."

"This?"

"Sir, I think Mrs. Zhang is reasonable, so that I don't have to run at both ends, in case the enemy takes advantage of the gap between my back and forth, it will be troublesome."

Lu Gaozhi thought about it and was very embarrassed, he was most afraid of troublesome others in his life.

Zhang Zezhen saw the teacher's thoughts, so he encouraged him and said, "Teacher, if you want to go over, Xu Yue and I can live at home openly, so that you can teach us, and it will be convenient for us."

"Oh, at a young age, you can hear the calculations clearly, and you have counted the old man? Hahaha!"

"Teacher, you can agree, although my family is not big, but my family is very kind, and it is absolutely delicious to serve you!"

"Am I the God of Wealth? And you offer me every day?"

"No, you're our family's god of wealth!"

"Hahaha! Little girl, not only can cook, but also can speak well, since you have said so, then I will go with you!"

"That's right!. And Mr. Lu, this secret recipe on me may be safer with you!"

"No, there's only one safest way to do that, and that's to destroy it! Zhenzhen, from now on, you must clearly remember every word on the secret recipe, the number of grams of each ingredient, and there must be no difference in the slightest. After remembering it, we burn it."

"Can I rely on this memory? Why don't you and Xu Yue remember it too, so that I forget, and someone can remind me."

"Absolutely not, this secret recipe cannot be memorized by anyone except you, and the more people who know, the more people will suffer. If it's really like what you said, Xu Mingyuan has other plans, then he will make a move next."

"Teacher, are you throwing me out alone? You're too ruthless, aren't you?" Zhang Zezhen really felt so pitiful.

"Zhenzhen, I know, this is really hard for you, but this big responsibility can only be carried by you!"

"Okay, okay, teacher, don't draw me a big pie, I know what to do!"

Lu Gaozhi nodded in satisfaction.

"Teacher, there's one more thing." Xu Yue suddenly remembered something.

"What?"

"For the past two days, my wife said that it seems that someone has been following us."

Zhang Zezhen nodded hurriedly after hearing this.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Tian also agreed with the two of them, "However, when I walked to the other side of the mountain, this person didn't move, he should have been lost, I went out for a spin just now, and there was indeed no trace."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's Xu Mingyuan's people."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because, from the two of us into Xu's house

From the beginning, this man never left, but he was in the shadows, and we couldn't see him."

"In that case, we'll have to go our separate ways."

"Teacher, please instruct."

"You and Xu Yue go first, go back to Xu's house directly! Xiao Tian and I will leave through the other exit, and we will go directly to your house, and after you finish your business, you will come back directly, and we will meet at your house."

A few people thought it was feasible, so they nodded and prepared to leave.

"Zhenzhen, burn your secret recipe first, don't burn it wrong!"

"Oh, yes!"

Zhang Zezhen put the fake secret recipe into her clothes, and took out the real secret recipe, she looked at it again, and then put it in the furnace to burn it.

"You memorized it so quickly?" Xu Yue was obviously a little suspicious when she saw the lady operating like this.

"I've made this dish several times, and I've been researching the recipe for a long time, so I've been remembering it for a long time."

Looking at Zhang Zezhen's confident appearance, Lu Gaozhi couldn't help but praise in his heart: Such an excellent child, it would be better if he were a boy, and he will definitely become a pillar of the country in the future and benefit the people of Limin.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xu Yue and Zhang Zezhen returned to the foot of the mountain according to the original path.

"That person seems to have reappeared." Zhang Zezhen whispered to Xu Yue.

"Well, it's okay, I'm there." Xu Yue took the lady's hand and strode forward.

"What are you doing, men and women don't kiss!"

"You are my lady now, what do you have to give or accept?"

Zhang Zezhen wanted to take the opportunity to break free, but Xu Yue pulled it back, and the strength of this domineering president made her suddenly feel happy.

"Let's go to Jinyu Tower first."

"Why?"

"It's been a long time since I've been to the restaurant, I want to go and see, besides, someone follows us behind, if we just climb a mountain and go back, can Xu Mingyuan believe us?"

"Yes."

The two discussed, and walked in the direction of Jinyulou, and in order to get rid of that person, they specially called a carriage.

"This man is really persevering, we ordered a carriage, and he also ordered one, he is really convinced!"

"It's true, but the level of tracking is really confusing, even a fool, and I know that he is tracking."

Xu Yue pondered for a while and said, "Is there a possibility that he deliberately let us know?"

"Let us feel oppressed and dare not play tricks?"

"Well, this seems to be Xu Mingyuan's style."

"Then let's just don't see it, and do what we need to do!"

After a while, Jinyu Tower arrived.

"Huh? Zhenzhen, Xu Yue, why are you here?" Zhang Zefeng, who was serving vegetables outside, saw that his little sister was coming, not to mention how happy he was.

"Second brother, how are you doing?"

"Don't worry, the business in the store is very good, and the guest officer is satisfied with our food."

"That's good, is anyone looking for trouble?"

"No, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"It's okay, just ask, by the way, you said that the person who comes often, but always orders different dishes, is he here?"

"Coincidentally, I really didn't see anyone else today, what are you looking for him?"

"I just want to know, he has eaten so many kinds of dishes, he must know a lot about our tastes, you might as well make more suggestions, and we can correct it."

"I remember, I'll ask him when I come back."

"Okay, you get busy first, I'll go in and see the second sister-in-law."

"Okay."

When the two came to the kitchen, they saw the busy Li family, and shouted, "Second sister-in-law!"
