After tasting the first lotus leaf chicken, Xue Xue and Li Jin were amazed by Chu Mo's cooking skills.

One by one, I kept asking him when and where he learned his cooking skills.

Chu Mo was afraid that saying too much would make them suspect that he was not the stupid prince, so he just smiled at them and perfunctory.

After a while, all the lotus leaf chickens were eaten by them.

The snowfall has even added ten fingers, but it still looks like it's still unfinished.

I couldn't see Chu Mo crying or laughing.

After resting for a while, Chu Mo began to practice martial arts in the courtyard again, although he practiced some basic skills. But he heard a good news from Li Jin.

That is, he has now stepped into the first realm of the initial realm, and he can be regarded as a real martial artist.

Of course, with his current combat strength, he is only about the same as an ordinary strong man, and he can't be compared with those top powerhouses at all.

Therefore, in order to make his martial arts continue to grow, he has to continue to train.

At the same time, some combat training has also been added.

Li Jin suggested that from the prince's guard, select a few guards with the worst martial arts to train Chu Mo.

In this way, it will make his training twice as effective with half the effort, and the effect is remarkable, which is still the method taught to him by Li Jin.

"It's a good idea. ”

Chu Mo immediately made a decision, so he asked Li Jin to go to the prince's guard and selected twenty people to come to the prince's mansion.

Those prince guards of the fifth and sixth realms were originally specifically responsible for the safety of the prince's mansion, and as for the prince guards of the three realms, they were specially accompanied by Chu Mo to practice.

Li Jin once told him that there was a martial arts idiot in the past, and he didn't know how to practice martial arts at first.

Later, when he was twenty years old, he suddenly wanted to practice martial arts for some reason, and within a year, he had practiced to the ninth realm.

Later, it only took two years to practice to the tenth realm and become a top grand master.

Chu Mo thought that he didn't have the same good martial arts talent as that senior, but as long as he could train as hard as that senior, even if he couldn't reach the ninth realm within a year, he would be able to reach the seventh or eighth realm, he would be satisfied.

He practiced until the evening, and as soon as Chu Mo sat down to rest, the snow fell in front of him with dried lotus leaves and a basket of yellow mud, pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and looked at him with blank eyes: "Your Highness, it's almost time to prepare dinner." ”

This girl must be addicted to eating, obviously hinting that Chu Mo will continue to make lotus leaf chicken.

It just so happened that the twenty prince's guards selected by Li Jin had also been brought back to the prince's mansion by him.

"Okay, Lone will fulfill the wish of your little lazy worm. ”

Chu Mo smiled bitterly and simply called them all over to help.

In one breath, he killed all the dozen or so live chickens left in the house, made them all into lotus leaf chickens, and distributed them to the twenty princes and guards to eat together.

Although there were a lot of people, when the lotus leaf chicken came out, Chu Mo secretly kept two.

Let Xue Xue hurriedly send it to the palace to give the Emperor and Empress Chu a taste of his craftsmanship.

"I haven't eaten enough, what if I don't come back!"

Xue Xue pouted, looking aggrieved, Xue Xue didn't even have time to eat a bite, where would he go to run errands for him?

"You girl, I'll leave you one, right?"

Chu Mo smiled bitterly, and in desperation, he had no choice but to receive another lotus leaf chicken to the side.

"As long as you send these two lotus leaf chickens to the palace, this whole lotus leaf chicken will be yours. ”

"Really?"

As soon as the snow fell, I quickly took a look.

There were twenty princes and guards present, staring at the lotus leaf chickens in the fire like wolves and tigers.

And this time there are only a dozen, so a person can only eat half a chicken.

Therefore, as soon as Xue Xue had this little calculation in his heart, he immediately responded to this errand.

"Okay, I'll send it now, you have to keep it for me, if it's gone, see how I clean you up!"

Before it got dark, Xue Xue hurriedly took the two hot lotus leaf chickens and ran into the palace.

"Haha, you're welcome, everyone, try my craft too. ”

Seeing this, Chu Mo took Li Jin and those princes and guards and began to eat.

It's just more than 20 people, divided into a dozen chickens, which is obviously not enough.

What's more, these princes are all able to eat them.

In the end, I didn't even let go of the chicken bones.

"Wow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you really don't have to say anything about your craftsmanship!"

"yes, it's the best chicken I've ever eaten in my life!"

Ordinary big men, at this moment, are full of praise for Chu Mo, and they are almost worshipping.

However, Chu Mo didn't speak, and an idea suddenly sprouted in his heart.

Perhaps, he can really make the two hundred and fifty taels in his hand multiply a hundred times in half a month.

Palace.

At this moment, the Emperor of Chu and the Empress sat opposite each other, frowning slightly.

At the moment, there are two major events in the Chu State, which always affect the heart of Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu.

One of these things is naturally Zhao's civil strife.

Although this problem has been left to Chu Mo to deal with with with it all, Chu Huang only needs to secretly help him keep an eye on it, and help him when necessary.

As for the second case, it is the drought in Qingzhou and Lingzhou, which is the most important thing.

Although Chu Mo also proposed a solution at that time, it would take time after all.

If this matter is not handled properly, causing the affected people to become displaced people, or to be killed or injured, it will affect the situation of the entire Chu State.

It is now early autumn, and a protracted drought has left the people of Qingzhou and Lingzhou without a harvest.

There are already many people who have begun to live by eating tree bark and grass roots.

"Hmph, some people are really wolf ambitions, living in temples and not worrying about their people!"

Emperor Chu clenched his fists and spoke indignantly.

The people of their own family are about to starve to death, and as a result, those ministers in the court are still trying their best to persuade Emperor Chu to send troops to help Zhao State quell the civil strife, which is really a good thing to harm others and benefit themselves.

The good people who helped Zhao State let their civil officials be, but this bitterness and this crime were all made by the generals and soldiers, as well as the people of Chu State, for them.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Chu will accept Chu Mo's suggestion.

Fortunately, Chu Mo did not disappoint him, and successfully persuaded the entire court, which can be regarded as a major solution.

Now, only Qingzhou and Lingzhou are left for disaster relief, but it makes Emperor Chu sad.

The reason for this is that the treasury is empty, and it cannot allocate so much silver taels to relieve the disaster.

Chu Mo's strategy, although not bad, could not cure the root cause after all.

Emperor Chu has not slept well for several days and nights in order to provide disaster relief funds.

"Your Majesty, you can rest for a while, don't be too tired!"

The queen said with concern, looking at Chu Emperor Chu Yunxiu for the past few days, it seemed that she had aged several years all of a sudden, and she was also distressed in her heart.
