Since then, Wu Liang has become the head chef of the back kitchen of Lotus Peak, and thousands of people's three meals a day are cooked by Wu Liang alone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Liang sweated like rain every day and was exhausted, but his cooking skills also improved rapidly unconsciously, and he soon reached the realm of a grandmaster.

Half a month later, Xia Liu ate the "three major pots" made by Wu Liang, and the "three major pots" refer to the three signature dishes of "fried yellow eel with bacon", "fragrant sesame prawns" and "stir-fried king eight with sauce" in three large pots, which are full of praise.

"Big brother, your cooking skills have reached the level of grandmaster, and you must be able to overwhelm the others and win the first place in the world.

There is still a month to go is the Wancheng martial arts competition, and the eldest brother must pay more attention to his knowledge, and cultivate both inside and outside, so that it is possible to get the heart of Diao Chan and get the jade seal. Xia Liu's words were serious.

"Don't worry, I will definitely marry Diao Chan!" Wu Liang was full of confidence, took out the "Book of Songs" and other books from his arms, and studied hard.

Since the competition was still a month away, the time was pressing, so Wu Liang had to pick up the lamp and read at night and work hard.

Huang Tian lived up to his painstaking efforts, and more than 20 days later, Wu Liang memorized all three books.

According to the usual practice, Xia Liu still has to test Wu Liang.

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island, what is the next sentence?"

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman. ”

"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. What's next?"

"The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. ”

"Yes, I'll test your pair again. Xia Liu nodded and continued: "The phoenix falls and the phoenix falls. ”

"A perfect match. ”

"The goat goes up the mountain, the mountain touches the goat's foot, bleating. ”

"The buffalo goes into the water, the water floods the horns of the buffalo, moo. ”

"Big brother really worked very hard, and let you memorize it, amazing, I don't know how you guessed the riddle?" Xia Liu gave Wu Liang a thumbs up and nodded.

"Brother, please speak!"

"A thing is born black and bright, dare to eat tigers and wolves in the mountains.

The civil and military officials are not afraid, and the emperor dares to taste it. Hit an insect. ”

"Bed bugs. ”

"The gentleman in the flower is bright and fragrant, the beauty of the empty valley is famous, and the style is admirable, even if no one is self-respecting. Hit a plant. ”

"Orchids. ”

"Big brother, you are so talented, you are not a teacher, you are really condescending!" Xia Liu nodded again and again, full of praise.

"The second brother has won the award, when will we leave?" Wu Liang waved his hand and asked out loud.

"Today is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and there are still two days before the competition to recruit relatives, so it's too late, let's go!" Xia Liu calculated the date and said loudly.

"Okay, let's go!" Wu Liang nodded and readily agreed.

The two of them went back to their rooms, packed up some application things, rode on their horses, and went straight to Wancheng.

Lotus Peak is only more than 200 miles away from Wancheng, and Wu Liang and the two arrived in Wancheng on the 29th of the first month.

Wancheng is a big city, the head rests on the barberry, the foot pedals the Jianghan, the east is based on the Tongbai, the west chokes the Qinling Mountains, is one of the sources of the ancient Silk Road.

Wancheng is 600 miles away from the capital Luoyang, as early as the Warring States Period, Wancheng is the famous iron smelting center, the city of soldiers must fight, Qin and Chu launched the famous "Battle of Danyang" in Wancheng.

During the Qin Dynasty, it was the seat of Nanyang County.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, it was the place where Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was born, and was known as the "Southern Capital" and "Imperial Township".

Wancheng land spans both sides of the Huai River, the plain on the north bank of the Huai River stretches, stretches as far as the eye can see, is rich in wheat, and the northern country has a strong atmosphere. The south bank of the Huai River is beautiful in the mountains and rivers, the paddy fields are full of fields, and the rice and fish are jumping, just like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.

After more than 1,000 years of development, Wancheng has become the largest city in the Huaihe River Basin, with a prosperous economy and people living and working in peace and contentment.

Wu Liang and Xia Liu came to the gate of the city, only to see people coming and going, the river was endless, and it was very lively.

Wancheng is a big city, the original population is large, plus Diao Chan competition to recruit relatives, all kinds of forces gather in Wancheng, it is even more crowded, fortunately, the street is wide enough, and it will not be blocked.

Wu Liang and Xia Liu led the horses and slowly walked into this thousand-year-old capital, Wancheng is very lively and prosperous, on both sides of the street, there are many shops, there are many traders, the streets are crowded, many people are martial arts people with swords and blades.

It was almost noon, both of them were a little hungry, and the two walked for a while and came to the largest restaurant in Wancheng - Hero Building.

The hero building has three floors, the decoration is extremely exquisite, the building is full, the second child, the chef, is very busy.

The two entered the Hero Building, and Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him and greeted: "Two guest officers, the first and second floors are full, so follow me to the third floor!"

Wu Liang and the others followed Xiao Er to the third floor, and there were many guests on the third floor, leaving only a few empty tables.

"Two guest officers, what do you want to eat? We have everything, you are satisfied!" Wu Liang and Xia Liu had just sat down, Xiao Er wiped the table, and asked diligently.

"What specialties do you have?" Wu Liang asked.

"Specialties, there are Wancheng steamed vegetables, Xinye plate noodles, Bowang pot helmet, Guotan roast chicken, Fangcheng roasted wheat, honey sauce Jiang rice lotus ......," Xiao Er replied.

"Do you have rice in your store?" Wu Liang asked again.

"No, we don't eat rice, I will give you two bowls of noodles, do you like it?" Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, Wancheng is a staple food of noodles, and rice is rarely eaten.

"Okay, two bowls of Xinye noodles, then a Guotan roast chicken, a bowl of Tanghe ham, and a plate of steamed vegetables. Wu Liang saw that the largest restaurant in Wancheng did not have rice, so he had to settle for the second best thing and eat noodles.

The shopkeeper wrote it down, turned around and went downstairs.

"Big brother, why don't you like noodles, aren't you from the north?" Xia Liu asked curiously.

"Who said I was from the north, I was from Huainan, an authentic southerner, and I was really unaccustomed to eating noodles. Wu Liang shook his head and said with a wry smile.

When Wu Liang and the others were talking, three more people came up from the third floor.

Among these three people, Wu Liang only knows two, and both of them are famous masters in the martial arts - Xu Chu and Dian Wei.

The handsome and picturesque young man among them, Wu Liang didn't know him, but he was sure that this young man was definitely the Cao family's extremely high status, and he could mobilize Xu Chu and Dian Wei as guards, maybe it was the eldest son of the Cao family.

This picturesque, handsome and extraordinary young man is Cao Ziying, who is dressed as a man.

Cao Ziying was born extremely beautiful, and after dressing up in men's clothes, she was even more beautiful, thrillingly beautiful, which made men envious and women admired.

"Big brother, that little white face over there is so handsome, you can compare him to him. Xia Liu was surprised, Wu Liang was the most beautiful man in the rivers and lakes, but compared with Cao Ziying, it was like a python and a divine dragon that roamed for nine days, and he was not at the same level at all.

"Needless to say, he is much more handsome than me, don't say it's me, even if it's a beautiful man Song Yu who meets once in three thousand, compared to him, he is still not as good as him. How can a man be born so beautiful?" Wu Liang said unwillingly. This Cao Ziying is simply too beautiful to say, and she has some share.
