The general was questioned by the visiting adults,

I don't think we can let the general suffer for us!

I set the recipe, I have to accept this mistake, and one person does one thing at a time.

I was just about to get up when someone suddenly pushed me down.

It's the golden lock, I don't know when he's back. This man is always a secret man today.

He said, "Rest up, you!" It's none of your business! ”

At this moment, it seemed that someone in the big tent was talking again.

This man had a rough voice, and he first said some polite words about the scene, and then went straight to the point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know, our general attaches great importance to your inspection, we have invited the best chef and the best ingredients from the border to receive you at this dinner, you should understand."

This person's voice, I can hear, is the deputy general Wang Qiang.

Listening to Wang Qiang again,

"If you want to talk about savings, I won't hide it from you, the food standard that our generals eat now is the same as that of ordinary soldiers, and the food distributed to each detachment has also been reduced according to a certain proportion, and the unnecessary expenses of each department have been reduced."

In the stove room, of course, I couldn't have known that Wang Qiang didn't stand up and talk to the adults from the court at this time.

Instead, he used the body language of sitting firmly to express resistance, contempt, or a kind of provocation against the working group.

But as the general's lieutenant, at least he is also a man who has experienced a hundred battles, and he should be more of a city than us as cooks.

How can you talk like that?

They are your superiors!

People's superiors come down to inspect you, don't care whether what they say is right or wrong, as the inspected unit, you have to go ahead first.

On such an occasion, if you don't give enough face to the members of the court, you can pay it back, which is a great disrespect to the court, and even more so to the king.

And they are also talking about reasons and rhetoric there, which is really inappropriate, and if you don't get it right, new problems will arise.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the deputy general Wang Qiang added such a sentence,

"Today, you belong to the most distinguished guests of our border guards, since we are our most distinguished guests, we can't use our soldiers' coarse tea and light meals to receive distinguished guests, that would also be a loss of etiquette for our countrymen, so ah, I beg you, don't make a big fuss. Because this is the responsibility of logistics, the responsibility lies with me, not with the general, please bear with me! ”

As soon as the adjutant general's words were finished, the sound of "Gaba" "Gaba" came from the big tent, which was the sound made by the general when he twisted his neck, and Jin Suo talked several times in front of me about the two habits of the general when he was proud, one was to twist his neck to make a crisp sound, and the other was to like to beat his heart with his fist, and the sound of "bang bang" would also occur.

Seeing this, I could only smile wryly.

I think the general may have used this way to express his recognition of the deputy general, and also to express his dissatisfaction with Lord Luan.

Alas!

This is too inconsistent with the general's logic of doing things, just now I still admired the general's way of behaving in the world? Why is it so untested now?

No matter how the other party is, he is also the minister of the Great Yan Kingdom, how can Wang Qiang's words be reconciled?

As expected, the silent atmosphere inside did not stop for long.

A familiar voice finally came out, and this voice was from the slender voice of Lord Luan.

"Alas, I said General Xiu, I really didn't expect that there are really talents under your account. Then I want to ask, what is the intention of this general of yours to be as steady as Mount Tai and talk eloquently, is this remark for you to make a great general's merits, or does it have another meaning? If it's a show of merit, I won't say a word, otherwise I'll have to ask more! ”

Lord Luan's voice was obviously pressed against the base of his neck, and his body was deliberately leaning back.

He said

"I said General Xiu, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, you!"

Lord Luan stretched the word "you" very long and sharp at this time, and pointed his long fingers at the general and said,

"As the highest military general of our Dayan Kingdom, here, you represent the king in commanding thousands of armies. Do you know that your words and deeds are the embodiment of our king's will! You don't deny that, do you? ”

The general was just about to answer, but Lord Luan hurriedly said,

"Then, to carry out the king's will, it should be uncompromising, and it should not be said that it will change, right?"

"But in front of me, can I think like this, today, I'm here, you can change the king's will and waste it. So tomorrow, when someone else comes, can you change it again and waste it again? ”

The general did not answer.

Lord Luan took advantage of the opportunity to continue.

"So I'm going to ask, is this your cultivation carrying out the king's will to the letter? No? ”

"Let me see, what is this called, this is called, say one thing, do one thing, light one thing, dark one. This is a typical two-faced person. I'm not talking about this reason, General Xiu, you answer me! ”

It seems that Lord Luan's accusation is really difficult to answer.

Let's say, you guys are usually very economical, but now no one sees it.

You say extravagance and waste, you are obviously resisting the purpose, and the real evidence is right in front of you.

If it is said that it will be withdrawn and the standard meal of soldiers will be reintroduced, maybe this group of people will have new and more fierce rhetoric.

When the general was in a dilemma, he didn't expect a familiar woman's voice to come out.

The sound is still like a trickle of water, as soft as a veil.

"Alas, okay guys, I said Lord Luan! Why bother? Listen to me! ”

"What you both said is reasonable, but in my opinion, the general's hospitality to us, if you might as well continue first!"

"As for the wasteful thing, I'll mention it after the meal, and then I'll talk about it when I'm full, okay?"

Jin Suo and I heard the other party talking to the general, and our nervousness relaxed a little.

The golden lock whispered close to my ear,

"Do you know who this woman is, do you know why she will help our general?"

I shook my head.

"This woman's name is Yan Ji, she is the woman of the second prince of our Great Yan Kingdom, and at the same time, she is also our general's childhood sweetheart."

My eyes widened.

Golden Lock continued,

"Yan Ji came this time, in fact, let me see, just to meet our general......

My heart was inexplicably sour.

Then since the general's lover and the woman who is the second wife of Dayan Guo stood up to help the general speak, it stands to reason that Lord Luan should give her enough face.

But this Humpty Dumpty's response was unexpected.

"Madam, don't you know, we came this time to check their saving problems according to the second prince's instructions, and you have seen how they are doing!"

"If we do this, we won't be able to explain to the second prince after we go back!"

What Lord Luan said was straightforward, and it was indeed what he said in his heart.

Yan Ji is also well aware of the entanglement between the second prince and the eldest prince.

Knowing that the ultimate goal of Lord Luan and his entourage is to take the opportunity to find General Xiucheng's stubble, make a big fuss, go online, cut off his military power, and cut off the military power of General Xiucheng, which is equivalent to cutting off the eldest prince's party power in Ming, and creating opportunities and conditions for the second prince to ascend to the throne.

Now that I have said good things for the general, it is impossible for it to work, so I can only go wherever I go! Otherwise, this minion will never take himself seriously.

At this moment, in the tent, there was a "click", and there was a "bang", and the sound of falling things came out.

"Okay, you fat man, you ungrateful villain, it seems that you have forgotten, who lifted you to this position!"

"You didn't even listen to what I said today, I think you're tired of being crooked! Okay, I'm full, you guys eat! Wait and see! ”

After speaking, I only heard the sound of a commotion inside.

"Madame! Madam! Don't be angry! ”

It seems that Yan Jinu's words don't work.

I knew it was time for me to play.

To play on the field by himself is to confess the guilt of the general, and there is a dead end.

Anyway, my life is not worth anything.

It's important to keep the general! Let's go up first!

So, I came to the general's tent, lifted the curtains, but carefully pushed the small wooden cart that had been prepared in advance into the tent......

At this time, although the atmosphere in the big tent was tense, the aroma was lingering, steaming, and the torches were bright, which was very dazzling.

I looked at the expressions of the people here, all of them were stiff and tense.

Inside the tent, there was neither the general nor the woman who had just spoken.

I saw that some cups on the ground were broken, and someone was cleaning them.

Behind the general's seat, Jin Suo was standing with his sword in hand.

When they saw me come in with the curtain lifted, all eyes were on me.

I made up my mind, took a few steps forward, and said boldly,

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I, I am the main stove Liu Bancheng tonight. Tonight, it was my idea to serve such a large dish to the adults, and the blame lies entirely with me, and it has nothing to do with the general. As for me, I am willing to accept any punishment from you, and I will bear the burden of killing. ”

Without waiting for you to speak, he continued, "This is what I prepared in advance."

"Well, there is an old saying that goes, it's better to be delicious than to be proud. Before I convict myself, I would like to invite you to taste a dish that I have spent a day making, and I am waiting for you to taste it. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if I'm gone, everyone hasn't tasted it, it's my regret as a partner. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the small wooden cart straight to the middle of the big tent, and on a dozen wooden trays lay plates of hot, so-called pressed table entrées.

By this time, the general had hurried back to the tent and sat down in front of the golden lock.

I noticed that the corners of his mouth were pulled downward, and his face was gloomy.

The golden lock was looking at me with strange eyes.

I began to say to Lord Luan, who was sitting in the middle of the right side, who was still burning just now,

"This honorable lord, the name of this dish is white steak bear's paw, if I guess correctly, you should be an expert in this area, please taste it, and give more valuable advice!"

Lord Luan turned his face to General Xiucheng, but pointed his finger at me.

"Who is this? How dare you speak to me like that? ”

The general replied,

"He's the cook under my account, and he built the memorial hall that the adults visited just now."

Ouch! General, where are these goings! I'm here to relieve you. Let's talk about it in one place.

I didn't expect you to talk about the memorial at this time, and you can say that I built the memorial hall with my own hands, and it makes me feel that it is too sudden.

How can I, a husband, a stonemason, and a man with little culture, build a memorial?

But the general was right.

The Golden Lock had told me before, that when they first found me, I told the general,

He said that he could cook, sculpt, and carve stone, so the memorial arranged for me to organize people to build it, but I didn't know it yet.

Maybe it's in a dream, maybe it's sleepwalking.

This may be the reason why I can have a place in the heart of General Xiucheng.

Now, Lord Luan is holding on to the general's pigtails, but the general has ignited the reason for building the memorial hall and thrown the contradiction to me.

Transferring Lord Luan's anger to me made me a dilemma as a cook, and I didn't know how to deal with it!
