Xuanyang Fang.

Xue Bai and Yang Zhao walked side by side and entered the door.

"The evidence of Jiwen's other house was handed over, and the right minister ordered Yu Shitai to impeach with all his might, and the saint was furious, and the waste was just around the corner."

"No wonder Yang Zhongcheng can walk at night, and he went to Du's house to take a concubine last night."

Yang Zhao scolded: "At this time, I am not loyal to my work and fulfill my duties, but I only care about my own private affairs. ”

At this time, he didn't ask Yang Shen to do things according to his daughter's words.

Du Youlin followed behind with an unfortunate face, already knowing that Yang Zhao was the brute who had lost his wealth and made the Du family bear the stigma.

But he couldn't afford to offend both sides, so he couldn't find fault with this matter, so he couldn't help but trouble Yang Zhao when he waited for Yang Shenjin first.

"Huh."

Yang Zhao suddenly wondered.

Xue Bai followed his gaze, and saw an old monk on the right side of the road riding a horse, followed by a carriage, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and there was an extremely beautiful woman looking out, tears streaming down her face, Chu Chu was pitiful.

"Pearl? What a pearl! ”

That night, Yang Zhao took the treasure and didn't take it tightly, but the witness had to be detained for trial, and he couldn't take it away. The next day, the pearl was returned to Yang Shenjin.

Goodbye today, he hurriedly kicked his horse and caught up, and said, "It's hateful that Yang Shenjin refuses to send you to me, but don't worry, this won't prevent me from getting along with you...... Where are you going? Why follow this monk? ”

"Whew."

Mingzhu hid her face with a handkerchief and cried, but did not answer.

Yang Zhao looked at her beautiful face, delicate body, and blood and brain, and couldn't take his eyes off her at all, so he drove the horse to follow aside.

"Where's the scoundrel?" The old monk in front of him noticed the abnormality, turned around and shouted, "What do you want to follow my concubine?" ”

"Your concubine? Bullshit! Yang Zhao raised his whip and pointed at it, and said, "Old demon monk! In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, openly hijacking beautiful women, is there still a royal law?! ”

"Splash skin! Do you know who I am? ”

"A faceless and skinless gelding, an old demon monk who is used to eating shit. Take! ”

The two men behind Yang Zhao were about to pounce on the old monk.

"No."

Mingzhu cried: "Yang can't be rough when he joins the army." Lang Jun: He ...... Whining...... Lang Jun has ...... the slave family It's for Shi Gong! Woowoo woo ......"

At the end of the words, she was so sad that she almost cried to death.

"What? Yang Shenjin, this eyeless old dog! ”

Although Yang Zhao is not moved by his true feelings, he is still obsessed with the beauty of Mingzhu.

His dignified uncle opened his mouth to ask for it, but Yang Shenjin refused to give it, but in the blink of an eye, he gave his woman to an old demon who was not a monk or a layman?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Yang Shen must have deliberately humiliated me, bullied people too much, and angered me!"

“……”

Seeing this situation, Du Youlin couldn't help but be excited, and scolded Yang Shenjin in his heart, secretly saying that it was fortunate that he had foresight and did not marry his daughter to a ruthless person like Yang Shenjin.

Du Wulang clenched his fists and kept chanting: "Let these two Yang dogs bite the dogs!" Dog eats dog! ”

Xue Bai's face was expressionless, but he knew that this concubine Mingzhu had fallen to this point today, and she had the responsibility of leading people to copy the Yang family's house.

He was determined that if he came to power one day, he would try to abolish the lowly slavery and weaken the family.

Suddenly, the argument was interrupted by shouting and swearing.

"I'm going to get out of the way, I'm in the way!"

However, there were several luxurious cars passing by on West Street, and a large number of guards were in front of them.

Xue Bai turned his head to look and saw a beautiful woman lifting the curtain and looking at him, it was Yang Yuyao, the wife of the Kingdom of Qiu, who was beautiful and charming without powder.

~~

"Little Langzi, you come close."

Yang Yuyao made a move, and Xue Bai stepped forward and saluted with his hands crossed on the horse, his movements were not as thoughtful as usual, and he looked chic.

He had specially bathed this morning, and changed into the new clothes that Du Gorou had prepared for the New Year.

Yang Yuyao saw a lot of beautiful young men, but her eyes lit up slightly, and she said with a smile: "Since you gave me a good poem, why didn't you come to see me for many days?" ”

"A few days ago, I was doing things for the right minister, and I was free today, so I wanted to offer a few delicacies to Mrs. Qiuguo, in return for Mrs. Qiuguo's gift to me through flower cakes."

Xue Bai replied with a long sentence, and handed over two or three topics in a row for Yang Yuyao to answer, so as not to be cold, but his attitude was a little reserved, and he did not mean to flatter at all.

"Hmph."

Yang Yuyao snorted lightly, stretched out two fingers, and said angrily: "One, Hugh and I can see each other, just call me 'Sister' or 'Yao Niang'." Second, if you don't send you through the flower balls, you won't come to see me? ”

"I'm not coming." Xue Bai responded.

"Huh?" Yang Yuyao was a little unhappy.

Xue Bai said seriously: "I have seen too many beautiful women, which affects my reading and progress, and contributes to the right phase." ”

Yang Yuyao turned her anger into joy, pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Xue Bai closer.

"Am I really that beautiful?"

"Hmm." Xue Bai avoided her gaze slightly.

Yang Yuyao doesn't know how many times she has heard praise in her life, but at this time, she feels that this "um" is very sincere, not flattery.

"How beautiful?"

Relying on her beauty, she deliberately brought her flawless face closer, so that Xue Bai could take a closer look at her and frighten the shy teenager.

Unexpectedly, Xue Bai did not avoid it this time, met her bold eyes, and looked at her.

Yang Yuyao never thought that he was such a character, and after a while, the smile on the corner of her mouth became thicker and thicker, and she felt that this matter was quite novel and interesting, and she had to let Xue Bai dodge her eyes first, otherwise she would lose.

The eyes of the two seemed to be glued together.

On the one hand, there are beautiful eyes looking forward to it, and it is shining; On the one hand, the eyes are open, which can make people understand the story.

It's a pity that before the winner can be decided, someone who is not interested in it stepped forward and interrupted them.

"Mrs. Qiuguo is well."

Yang Yuyao was displeased, and turned her head to look at Yang Zhao.

For some reason, she felt that Yang Zhao was extraordinarily oily and powdery, revealing a vulgar and cheesy atmosphere.

"Why is my cousin arguing with someone in the street?" She asked, in a languid tone.

Yang Zhao said: "I also ask Mrs. Yu Guo to be my master, I have a confidante, I was first forcibly bought by Yang Shenjin in the imperial history, and that's it, but Yang Shenjin is actually ...... He actually gave her to an old demon monk! ”

Yang Yuyao listened, and her eyes fell on the carriage over there.

Mingzhu felt something, wiped her tears and looked back, looking particularly weak and delicate.

The two beautiful women sat in their carriages and looked at each other across the street. One is powerful, and the other is drifting.

After a while, Yang Yuyao was reluctant to look away, glanced at the old monk, frowned, and showed disgust. At this time, when you look at Xue Bai again, you can feel the good demeanor of this young man.

She beckoned someone and instructed: "Go, invite the evil monk and his beautiful attendant to my house for a talk, and have wine and hospitality." ”

~~

The carriage and horse turned into the palace of the lady of the kingdom, added wine and returned to the lamp, and prepared for the feast.

Yang Yuyao asked people to accept the gift list handed over by Yang Zhao, sat down on the soft couch at the top, and beckoned: "Xue Bai, you come and sit with me." ”

It seems that Xue Bai is also one of the gifts given by Yang Zhao.

Xue Bai said: "How about I go and arrange a few dishes for Yao Niang first?" ”

"What kind of food haven't I eaten?" Yang Yuyao couldn't help but chuckle, "Isn't that one bite worse than yours?" ”

Du Youlin followed the crowd with a gloomy face, and suddenly said with a straight face: "That is indeed an extraordinary delicacy, and the old man is here for this!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and secretly scolded for a good feast, where did a stinky old master come from, and he didn't know how to speak.

Yang Yuyao was not angry, looked at Xue Bai, and asked, "Is it so delicious?" ”

"Otherwise, how dare you come to offer gifts?"

Although Yang Yuyao was still a little unimpressed, she still ordered someone to take Xue Bai and a few to the kitchen.

Du Youlin was reluctant to go to the kitchen, and he didn't want to stay in the hall to play with a group of fortunate ministers, relatives, and traitors, so he simply followed.

"Ah, why is Grandpa here?" Du Wulang looked back, afraid that the old father was affecting his performance, so he hurriedly said: "The gentleman is far away, and the child is because of ......."

"Shut up, you know what."

Du Youlin wrinkled his face, but he knew that what he should have done had been done, and he had done it well.

In just one sentence, to help Xue Bai deliver delicacies to Mrs. Qiuguo, he not only stammered Mrs. Qiuguo, but also did not stammer. Thinking about it, when others talk about this matter in the future, they will be like Li Taibai asking Gao Lishi to take off his boots, saying that Du Zanshan is straightforward and outspoken, and has the style of a celebrity.

Killing three birds with one stone, this is the most clever use of power in his life, and after repeated recollection, he can't praise himself for a "stroke of genius".

~~

The kitchen of the Lady of the Kingdom of Yu is twice as large as the main house of the Du Mansion.

In charge of the kitchen here is Deng Lian, a very famous chef in Chang'an, and it was he who created the flower cake.

Xue Bai knew that the most taboo thing for a celebrity chef was for others to bring pots and pans to his territory to spread wild, so he paid special attention to appeasing Deng Lian.

"Last time, Mrs. Qiu Guo gave me a flower cake, and I knew that there was no vanity under the fame when I tasted it. Wuxing's millet is glutinous but not greasy, and the red beans of Baima are cotton but not sandy, and the teeth of food are drunk and full of fragrance. Deng Chang's skills are enough to leave a name in history. ”

"Xue Langjun praised it falsely, the villain can't afford it."

Deng Lian is old, his beard is white, but he is very healthy, and he wears a gorgeous thick jacket, not like a cook, but like an elder in the house.

He was deeply impressed by Xue Bai's evaluation, and said a little modestly, and immediately responded: "Xue Langjun is really a villain's confidant......

Du Wulang couldn't help muttering after listening to it, at that time, only one piece of the whole box of transparent flower cakes was left, and the rest was all given to Kyauuknu. The remaining piece has to be distributed to everyone, and it has to be evaluated after tasting it.

Wu Xingmi, White Horse Bean, these are all tasted by him, he is Deng Lian's confidant!

The crowd went into the kitchen.

Hu Sanniang rolled up her sleeves and was about to do a big job, but when she turned her head to look, she saw that the master and the celebrity chef were staring, and she panicked, scanning the unfamiliar utensils, not knowing what to do.

"Let's chop the vegetables." Du Wulang pushed her.

Stir-frying is actually very troublesome, all kinds of utensils, materials, and side dishes have to be prepared, and it was only trial and error until late at night, although it was Xue Bai who commanded, he was more talented.

……

Deng Lian really had good cooking skills, and when he saw the copper pot being heated, he shook his head.

"Such a hot dish, only dry and burnt, you can't eat it. Wow, what is this? ”

Suddenly, his gaze froze. I saw Hu Sanniang open the lid of a porcelain jar, revealing the white paste inside. I scraped a piece with a wooden spoon and put it in a hot pan and rubbed it around.

This white paste melts when heated, and it turns out to be oil.

"It's a good idea to add oil, but it smells so bad it doesn't taste good."

"Chief Deng is talking about sesame oil." Du Wulang said, "Sesame oil is used for cooling, it is fragrant." But it can't be used for stir-frying, we ......."

"Don't say."

Deng Lian suddenly raised his hand and stopped Du Wulang's words.

At this time, the oil was already hot, Hu Sanniang picked up the green onions, ginger and spices and put them in the pot, and there was a burst of fragrance.

Deng Lian sniffed, hesitated for a moment, but still sighed and said: "This is your secret method, it is worth a lot, and it should not be shown easily." ”

Du Wulang was on the rise, and he wanted to say that he had bought a little bit of oil from the fat of the gilt this morning, but Deng Lian had already turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Over there, the lamb belly was put into the pot, and Hu Sanniang picked up a pot of Fangxian rice wine and poured it evenly along the edge of the pot, the stronger the fragrance.

Deng Lian's footsteps stopped, and he tilted his head slightly.

But thinking that he had been protected by many people in the past, he enjoyed a lifetime of wealth with the skill of penetrating flowers, and finally he was ruthless and went away.

Xue Bai didn't plan to cherish himself, so he followed him to the courtyard and said, "Chief Deng doesn't have to be like this, communicate with each other in order to benefit together." ”

He felt that with Deng Lian's cooking skills, he had actually understood.

"Xue Langjun is too polite. The villain never lets others steal the teacher, and never steals the teacher, and when he is old, he can't make an exception. Deng Lian saluted Xue Bai and said with a smile: "The delicacies are out of the pot, if you can let the villain taste it, I am already grateful." ”

~~

Another place was added to the hall, but it was Chang'an celebrity chef Deng Lian who also wanted to taste the new dishes brought by Xue Bai and the Du family.

Finally, the hot dish is out of the pot and served from the back kitchen to the lobby.
