Chapter 11: The Origin of the Command (I)

Although Su Ze was extremely dissatisfied with this irresponsible explanation, he really couldn't find a more reasonable explanation. So he had to give up for the time being, too lazy to investigate what this [Si Ming] was. But what he is frustrating now is that he can't find a way to make [Si Ming] evolve.

Saying that [Si Ming] is a "sword spirit" is actually a very inaccurate statement, this is the ancestor of the Su family really couldn't find a more suitable word at that time, so he had to use "sword spirit" to describe it.

Although Su Xue didn't know what [Si Ming] was, he was sure that it was not a sword spirit at all. No matter what kind of sword spirit, sword spirit, or other tool spirit, it is born from the instrument itself. To put it simply, the machine spirit is the soul produced by a certain instrument, and the instrument itself is equal to its body.

But the origin of Si Ming is not like this, it is not produced in kitchen knives, but authentic foreign goods.

According to the legend handed down by the ancestors of the Su family: in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, one of Su Xu's ancestors served as a "supervisor" in the Guanglu Temple Taiguan Office, that is, the head of the cook, and the rank was from the ninth grade. The Taiguan Office was the department of the Tang Dynasty that was specifically responsible for high-level banquets such as state banquets, court banquets, and Qionglin banquets, and it was also responsible for the sacrifices used in various sacrifices.

The chefs in the Taiguan Office are naturally the top in the country, and even the imperial kitchen in the palace is not comparable. Unexpectedly, in a Spring Festival banquet, there was a leak.

..........................................................................................

Some officials found that the dishes sent by Guanglu Temple actually tasted like chewing wax, and those dishes that looked mouth-watering looked like chewing wood, leather, and sand in their mouths. Most of the officials didn't squeak for the sake of face, anyway, this court banquet is not eaten every day, and it is not an intolerable thing to occasionally encounter pig food.

But a few stunned Qingyan officials in Lantai couldn't help it, they threw their chopsticks and immediately jumped up to impeach Guanglu Temple for dereliction of duty. Of course, the officials of Guanglu Temple were not convinced, and the two gangs quarreled at the banquet. Later, with the mediation of other officials, Guanglu Temple was reluctant to send a few representatives to try the dishes that were said to be "pig food".

Originally, those deputies were going to give the "crow officials" a good look, but when they tasted it, their faces immediately turned pale and they couldn't speak. The "crows" didn't make something out of nothing, and those dishes were really pig food! No, they were garbage that pig food could not describe.

There was a big mess at this moment, and the boss of Guanglu Temple was very angry, and immediately began to investigate the responsibility. The affairs of officialdom are all pressed at one level, and the board of Zhengqing of Guanglu Temple hit Shaoqing, and Shaoqing pushed it to the Taiguan Order, so that the investigation continued at one level and one level, and finally it was pressed to Su Ze's ancestors.

The rank of "supervising food" is just from the ninth grade, an official with a sesame mung bean, and if it goes down, it will be a flat-headed common man. If the big guy wants to be held responsible, it is naturally impossible to prevaricate with a common man. It is naturally more appropriate to get a sesame official to go to the top tank, and all aspects can be explained. As a result, Su Jianshan was fined for three months for the crime of "poor management".

For the bigwigs, it is not a big deal to let a sesame official top the tank, not to mention that it is only a symbolic punishment of three months. But for Su Jianshan, this is tantamount to an injustice, of course he doesn't want to carry this black pot. Because he personally commanded the production of those dishes, and he was also involved in the whole cooking process.

..............................................................................

Su Jianshan, who was holding back the fire in his belly, decided to find out the truth, and immediately after he returned, he exerted his official authority and carried out a big inspection in the kitchen, asking everyone to check themselves and check each other. After a flurry of chickens and dogs, nothing unusual was found. There is no problem with ingredients, seasonings, and accessories, and as for the technique, there will be no problem, Su Jianshan is a big expert, and under his nose, the cooks can't play tricks.

Since there was no problem with all the factors, how could those dishes turn from delicious to pig food for no reason? Su Jianshan was puzzled and had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky.

If the matter ends like this, it will just be a temporary character problem of Su Jianshan, and he will encounter bad luck.

But things continued, and soon after, the imperial court held another court banquet. This time, Su Jianshan was full of energy, and his eyes were blazing and he was patrolling around. Although he didn't find a problem, he still had an extra eye and tasted a little bit of each dish before it was served.

As a result, this taste, and there is a problem. He found a few more plates of "pig food".

Su Jianshan immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and couldn't help but be glad that he found out early.

Immediately he became angry, didn't he deliberately give Lao Tzu a good look? Since the last pig food incident, Su Jianshan has always suspected that someone was stumbling on him, so he rearranged the tasks for the chefs, and each chef only cooked one kind of dish, so that he could be held responsible.

He immediately called the cooks for questioning. Who knew that those chefs were all wronged, and they all said that they were doing it seriously according to the regular process, and there was absolutely no problem.

Su Jianshan carefully checked it again, and found that those chefs might indeed be unaware. Because the dishes that are in problem are not made individually, but are prepared in one pot and then divided into several portions and plated separately. And now the dishes that are in problem are often only one plate in the same batch.

This simply doesn't make sense!!

Su Jianshan, who couldn't find a reason for a while, had to let go of those chefs for the time being. And decided to do it himself.

After checking all the ingredients, spices, kitchen utensils, tableware and even firewood, Su Jianshan washed his hands and cooked.

As soon as a hero makes a move, he knows if there is one. After a flowery operation, a pot of fragrant "dragon soup and phoenix pith" is ready.

..........................................................................................

"Dragon soup and phoenix marrow" is Su Jianshan's specialty dish, and he used all his heart and soul when cooking just now, so he is naturally very confident in this work. He was very confident that everyone came to try it, and after the chefs tasted it, they naturally praised the good craftsmanship of the chef.

Su Jian Shan personally covered the plate, and after confirming it repeatedly, he found a few cronies and waiters to come over and prepare to send them to the banquet. But just as the waiters were about to walk out of the door, Su Jianshan, who had been staring at them, found that a looming gray-white mist suddenly appeared from there.

The mist rushed towards the waiter, and then flew lightning into the waiter's plate, completely ignoring the lid on the plate. Su Jian Shan thought he was dazzled at first, but after a few breaths, he saw that the mist came out and flew into another plate, and the waiters didn't seem to notice.

Su Jian Shan was taken aback and immediately stopped a few waiters. asked, "What just flew into the plate?"

Several waiters were at a loss, and they all shook their heads and said they didn't see it.

Su Jianshan immediately opened a plate to observe, and found that the color and smell of the dish had not changed at all, and he picked up a small piece and threw it into his mouth......
