Another time passed.

Standing at the east gate of Shengjing City, it is the palace hall of Dajing, which covers an area of very large, with a total of 420 hectares of land, and the number of gardens, false ponds, palaces, etc. is also secretly combined.

On this day, Guo Houcong was strolling in the garden with his imperial concubine, this Jia concubine was wide and fat, and she was grabbing the chicken leg and gnawing on it kindly.

Since ancient times, no matter whether the emperor is amorous or unaffectionate, which one is not a group of concubines? This is not the case with Guo Houcong.

Since he married the slender and beautiful Concubine Jia at the age of thirteen, it has passed, and since then, Concubine Jia has become more and more mellow.

This Guo Houcong has never taken a new concubine, and Concubine Jia Guifei has not given birth to a son and a half daughter, although some of the old ministers who are worried have gray hair,

But it can only be said that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.

"Ugh." Guo Houcong sighed.

Concubine Jia put the chicken leg to Guo Houcong's mouth, her face full of concern: "Why are you sad? Make a big chicken leg for you, and don't be sad."

Guo Houcong said helplessly: "Jing Yesi sent an excerpt from the side saying that he wanted to apply for research funds, but the people from the household department said that there was a drought and flood disaster in the south, and the reason was that there was a drought and a demon Jiao, and disaster relief also required money.

Concubine Jia Guifei stretched out her hand and scratched her head, not paying attention to her demeanor at all: "That's right, my father used to say that the money that should be spent should be spent on the blade."

Guo Houcong caressed Concubine Jia's face lovingly: "You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, Concubine Ai, alas, at this time, it would be nice if you could eat a bowl of hot and spicy soup."

Guo Houcong's love with Concubine Jia began among the people, compared with other emperors, at least he can choose his own love, after all, Guo Houcong came from the people.

His father is also a hard worker, so he can relax when he sneaks out to play, and it sounds good to call it a private interview with Weifu, but in fact, he just sneaks out to play, and this game is playing in the people.

But what about his father, there are more daughters who have been born, although sons have also been born, but most of them died early, and the people of Jingye Division also found out the harmful demons hidden in the palace, and cut them down, and then did some calculations, and found that his father could only give birth to a daughter in the future.

As for his father, he communicated with the good hands in the Jingye Division to see if he could change the gender of the child.

But the people of the Yasuya Division refused, and said, "As the saying goes, boys and girls are the same, who said that women can't hold up half the sky? Gender discrimination is unacceptable, and gender is not allowed to be opposed, and gender change is even more unacceptable, not to mention that even if it can be changed, it will not be changed, after all, you have not asked your children what they think."

So the lord of Yunluo was born.

The status of the Jingye Division is transcendent, after all, most people can't survive without it, so the high-level of the Jingye Division dares to be with the high-level leaders of the court, and they also dare to stand up to the four major families.

It just so happened that Guo Houcong ran into the palace at this time to look for his father.

This thing came and went, and it was done.

Although a few simple words can explain the development of the plot, there are also a lot of experiences and blinds that have been suffered.

But Concubine Jia has always been by his side, which can be regarded as a comfort.

And when he accompanied him to find his father in his early years, Concubine Jia was knocked on the head by a thief in order to protect him, so sometimes she was a little stupid.

Guo Houcong also promised not to marry other concubines because Concubine Jia sacrificed her life to protect herself.

No matter how fat she gets, he won't change his mind.

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang! I found a very delicious steamed bun shop outside the city, and the owner there is a fairy man, super powerful!" It happened that the county lord of Yunluo was also catching insects and playing in the garden, and after seeing Guo Houcong, the county lord of Yunluo shouted.

"It's super delicious, super powerful, you've been telling me all this time, forget it, can he make spicy soup?" Guo Houcong said helplessly.

He decided to visit the store.

——

On this day, the cook turned over the sign, and only one remained

Number one, he also continued to sit in the doorway and read the comic book.

An ordinary man walked in front of him, looking to be in his thirties, with a beard, and wearing an ordinary literati robe, but his bearing was extraordinary.

The person who came was Guo Houcong.

Qin Yuelou took a look at this, and knew that the person who came must be in a high position.

It looks ruddy, the palms are delicate, and only the fingertips are calloused.

But Qin Yuelou didn't pay too much attention, but continued to read the comic book by herself.

[There are a lot of good hands buried around, there are warriors, and qi refiners, their purpose is not to attack and kill, but to protect, which is a bit interesting. Although Qin Yuelou was looking at the comic book, he was also analyzing it in his heart.

Then Guo Houcong passed by Qin Yuelou and went straight into the shop.

"This kind of fly restaurant on the side of the road, I miss it so much." Guo Houcong thought in his heart, and then he spoke up, "Shop, is the store there?"

"Well, what to eat?" Qin Yuelou put away the comic book and asked.

"Do you only have three kinds of dishes in this little shop?"

"No, I can do whatever you want to eat and I can do." Qin Yuelou looked at Guo Houcong and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Spicy soup, I want to eat spicy soup." Guo Houcong said directly.

Qin Yuelou also relieved his half-dream: "Then you sit outside, I'll help you make a bowl of spicy soup."

Witnessing Guo Houcong's life through dreams, Qin Yuelou probably figured out what spicy soup was.

This so-called spicy soup is actually the same as the spicy soup in the previous life.

A bowl of spicy soup awakens a city; Although the soup may seem like a bowl of paste that doesn't even arouse your appetite, you can find it delicious and spicy when you taste it.

Especially in the cold winter wax moon, get up early in the morning and drink a bowl of spicy soup, it is steaming, and the whole body will be warm.

After carefully recalling the recipes he had seen, and according to Guo Houcong's situation of drinking spicy soup in his dream, Qin Yuelou slammed the ingredients into the dishes by category.

Pepper, chili, grass fruit, beef cubes, bone broth, vermicelli, thin vermicelli, daylily, peanuts, fungus, tofu skin, 1000 zhang and other ingredients are extremely fresh, and the umami is enhanced with kitchen utensils, and it is properly handled.

In addition, there are more than 30 Chinese herbal medicines.

Then Qin Yuelou began to concoct a spicy soup.

——

Guo Houcong, who was sitting outside the store, was looking at the slums around him, feeling quite uncomfortable.

In the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still so many people struggling with food and clothing every day; It's like this in the Imperial City, but what about the rest of the city?

The emperor himself... It's just too incompetent.

He himself grew up from the people, and naturally he also knew the people's suffering, he actually passed through the slums back then, and in the past ten years, he thought that he had managed in an orderly manner, and the poor would become fewer, but in fact this was not the case.

The spicy smell wafted out of the room, evoking Guo Houcong's memories.

Since he was a child, his mother has been waiting for the man who will not come back, his father in the sense of blood, since he was a child, he has been called a fatherless child, fortunately it is not a village, and there are no idle and lazy scoundrels to tease his mother.

But the gossip is still flying all over the sky,

But his mother has always taught him to be a kind and good person, and to study hard and seriously, so that he will become a big official in the future and benefit the people.

Then until her mother died, she left a piece of jade pendant to Guo Houcong.

Maybe for him, leaving this jade pendant was so that he could find the father he had never met.

But for his dead father, this jade pendant is just a proof that he is messing with flowers and grass among the people.

This jade pendant is like a heart-shaped stone that is said to be hand-polished, but in fact, the wholesale price is less than ten yuan, and you can buy a bunch.

But it is precisely by relying on this jade pendant,

Guo Houcong can recognize his father and son who have no family affection.

Guo Houcong actually didn't expect his father to be the emperor, but he turned into a prince.

What his mother said about "benefiting the people of one side" has also become "benefiting the people of the world".

After all, he came out of the people, and he knew that the upward space of the students from the poor family was monopolized by the family gatekeepers, and he also knew how many dogs, officials, flies, and dogs were colluded with each other, and he also knew that the officials and businessmen colluded with the officials to protect each other, and the brain was full of fat corpses.

After my father died, he felt that it was very unreal and became the emperor by the duck on the shelf, I thought I could be a generation of Ming Jun, but... At least he had that in mind, and he was trying to move towards it.

It's just that the resistance is too great, and the family gate valve has a lot to do with the important ministers of the court.

To put it bluntly, if young people are given a choice, whether to be a colt or a son-in-law of a family, young people will choose to be the son-in-law of a family, so that the status of the family can be seen.

Most of the important ministers in the court are related to the family.

It's a network, and he's like a worm struggling across the network.

Tired, tired, tired...

It's too tiring to be a responsible emperor who doesn't have much power.

Recalling this, Qin Yuelou also put the spicy soup in front of the emperor.

"This bowl of spicy soup, I put a lot of good ingredients for you, so instead of calling it spicy soup, it should be called Bazhen soup." Qin Yuelou said while rubbing the edge of the bowl.

Guo Houcong looked at the big bowl in front of him, and the "content" in the bowl was indeed quite rich.

gluten, kelp shreds, vermicelli, thousand shreds, peanuts, coriander, minced ginger, mustard; Beef and mutton, soybeans, fungus, daylily, spinach, radish strips, chopped green onions, etc.

Which is this Bazhen? It's called "Gathering of Heroes."

More than 30 kinds of herbs are boiled together with stewed meat, pepper, chili, Sichuan pepper, star anise and broth, and this bowl of Bazhen soup gives people an extremely dignified appearance.

Lifting the spoon can detect a slight and insignificant resistance, the soup is dignified and viscous, just like a soup, take a sip, spicy and spicy, and the aftertaste is endless.

It's like a spicy explode on the tip of the tongue, and when you swallow it, it is like a fireball falling into the belly, and the throat is still numb, but it also stimulates the appetite.

Qin Yuelou took another stack of vinegar and put it in Guo Houcong's hand.

Guo Houcong also poured the vinegar into the bowl, and the vinegar into the bowl smudged much slower, and the sluggish seemed to solidify in the soup, but with the stirring, the vinegar color also evenly covered every part of the soup.

Drinking it again, chewing on the rich contents, this group of young people gathered on the tip of the tongue with a variety of different tastes.

The crisp and refreshing taste of mustard and radish side dishes, the distinct grains of peanuts and soybeans, the smoothness of vermicelli, and the slight spiciness...

With the sour spicy taste, it is very appetizing.

"Why is it so spicy?" Guo Houcong was sweating profusely and asked Qin Yuelou.

"It's pepper, I added pepper." Qin Yue Corridor.

Ordinary ingredients are naturally full of large quantities, but every match in Qin Yuelou is wonderful.

During this time, he has also had one big dream after another, and he has also obtained many developed dream spells from the dream.

There is a spell that allows his index finger to glow with gold when he touches the dish, so that he can check the completion of the dish through his golden finger.

There is a spell that makes his tongue the tongue of God.

There are spells that allow him to feel the molecules that make up the ingredients, and by changing the molecular parts through spells, he can make ordinary and ordinary foods have extraordinary abilities.

These freshly extracted ingredients are just ordinary products after all, but...

When the molecular part is changed, the ingredient becomes extremely delicious.

This Bazhen soup will not have much feeling at first, but as you taste it one bite after another, it is equivalent to a kind of [accumulation], and when all the soup is drunk, this accumulation will reach its peak.

Finally, burst open.

Guo Houcong

I licked the bowl clean without grace, and the bowl and spoon were as clean as washing.

"I feel like I'm going to burst." Guo Houcong left a headless word.

Then the sweat rained down, and soon the clothes were wet,

It looks like coming out of a sauna, and it looks like it's a little prostration, but with it comes a lot of positive emotions such as joy and joy.

Guo Houcong felt that the pressure and dark negative emotions that had accumulated in his body, as well as his bad personality, were all removed from his body with those sweats.

Refreshed and relieved.

He let out a long breath, satisfied.

Qin Yuelou took out a cigarette case and handed Guo Houcong a hand-rolled cigarette.

"A cigarette before and after a meal, and when you smoke, you are happy like a fairy." The cook handed it to Guo Houcong and lit a fire for Guo Houcong, and Guo Houcong protected the fire with his hands very well.

This cigarette is also a trial product developed by Qin Yuelou with dream spells, compared with ordinary cigarettes, this cigarette has no tar, no nicotine, no carbon dioxide and other harmful substances to the human body, and it will not be addictive, let alone harmful to the human body.

But

But it can give people the same satisfaction as when an old smoking gun smokes the first cigarette after not smoking for a long time.

Don't ask what the principle is, the principle is that this is a dream path spell.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, just smoking cigarettes.

Then Guo Houcong asked Qin Yuelou a word.

"Are you interested in being in charge of the Imperial Dining Room?"
