"Have you only been in power for a few days? Are you planning to take over as an apprentice?"
In General Dong's back kitchen, a group of cooks were busy coming and going. One of the cooks who usually didn't deal with Chef Lu saw that Chef Lu had brought a lame man over. He looked disdainful, thinking that this guy was just trying to take advantage of others, but he happened to bump into him. It's just General Dong's recent hobby. Now he dares to bring his apprentice here. It's really arrogant.
Chef Lu actually didn't want to bring this person here at all, but this was the person deliberately arranged by the blind master. Knowing that he had boarded the pirate ship, Chef Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring people in.
The person who came in with Chef Lu was Zhang Zhi in disguise.
Looking at the pile of various expensive dishes in the kitchen is dazzling.
Bear paws, deer tails, bird's nests, shark's fins, etc. were all placed on the table, and different people were handling these ingredients.
There are also four dangerous vegetables on the list.
The so-called four most dangerous vegetables are:
Suck monkey brains, roast goose, eat camel humps, and pork back meat.
To suck monkey brains, first shave the monkey's hair, pour boiling water on the monkey's head, then hit the head with a hammer to open the head and eat the monkey brain directly.
To roast the goose, clean the goose, force the sauce into the goose's mouth, lock it in a cage, close the door and light the fire, grill the goose alive over high heat, so that the sauce reaches the body of the goose, and the roasted meat will be stronger. road.
To eat camels, select the strongest camels, tie them to pillars, pour boiling water on the backs of the camels, and the essence of death is all in one hump. Discard the whole camel and only eat the most nutritious humps.
For pork back meat, beat the pig's back with a wooden stick to make the pig scream and scream until the meat on the pig's back is all tight, and then use a knife to cut off the piece of meat directly for cooking.
The cooks here have long been familiar with these cooking techniques and are not cruel at all.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi felt a little uncomfortable. Although these things were animals, it still made people feel sad to be treated like this.
Chef Lu's psychological quality is quite strong, and he has no feelings about these things. Although he has a ghost in his heart, everything is still as usual on the surface.
Just as he was about to start cooking his signature donkey meat, he heard a sharp, male-female voice:
"The general has a will..."
When all the cooks heard this, they all looked outside the kitchen.
Chef Lu also looked surprised and looked at a eunuch who was walking towards him.
The eunuch was the personal eunuch beside General Dong. He had a rosy complexion and a fat body. He walked up to the cooks and coughed lightly.
When all the cooks saw this, they quickly knelt down, and Zhang Zhi also knelt down.
The eunuch took out a bright yellow silk book, unfolded it and read:
"The general who is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says:
I'm tired of the donkey meat roasted on fire, so there's no need to serve it again. Today I want to eat eight-legged sea fish. I admire this. "
With that said, he handed the silk book to Chef Lu.
All the cooks quickly received the order to "thank you".
After the eunuch read out the general's "edict", he glanced at the cooks with a hint of disdain and said, "Don't be late for the general's dinner." Then he twisted his fat body and left.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhi in the crowd clenched his fists unconsciously.
There is only one person in this world who is qualified to command others with "will". Obviously, this person is definitely not General Dong Da.
Dong Lushan acted like this, his ambition is clearly revealed!
The other cooks had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, but they couldn't help but look at Chef Lu with gloating eyes.
It had only been a few days, but the general was tired of eating. The days when Chef Lu was valued were over.
It’s just that everyone didn’t have time to laugh at Chef Lu, they all rushed to prepare General Dong’s dinner.
It is said that eight-legged sea fish must be eaten, but other dishes are also indispensable, otherwise the consequences can be predicted.
Among the chefs, those who knew how to cook seafood suddenly stood out. Among them was the one who had always been at odds with Chef Lu.
This person suddenly "gained power" and immediately turned his nostrils to the sky and said to Chef Lu:
"Lao Lu, bring your apprentice to help me!"
Seeing the villain's triumphant face, Chef Lu would have been itching with hatred before this, but now, he only finds it funny.
This guy wants to get involved in this muddy water, and Chef Lu couldn't welcome him more.
So the "master and apprentice" cooperated very well and started to attack people, which surprised the cook. He thought that Chef Lu might be frustrated and lost his spirit.
In this way, he instigated Chef Lu even more wantonly.
"The cooking wine is gone. Go and bring me a jar of cooking wine!"
When Chef Lu heard about the cooking wine, his heart tightened. He knew he had to do business, and regardless of the other party's attitude, he turned around to get the cooking wine.
The cooking wine was stored in the warehouse and wine cellar, and Chef Lu entered the warehouse and wine cellar openly.
Smelling the aroma of wine in the warehouse, Chef Lu couldn't help but show a hint of intoxication.
He is also a good drinker. Seeing so much fine wine, he wanted to have some.
But he held it back in the end. This was all General Dong's collection. Anyone who dared to touch it would die without knowing how.
Taking out a gourd from his arms, Chef Lu looked around and saw no one was around. Then he felt relieved and secretly placed the gourd in a corner of the wine cellar.
This is the most important thing the blind master told him to do.
The other party said that mistakes can be made in other things, but this matter must not be omitted.
Although he didn't know how important this matter was, Chef Lu was relieved to see that it could be accomplished so easily.
Then he took out a small wine glass from his sleeve and placed the wine glass in the wine cellar.
This was a not-so-important thing, and it was done easily.
After completing these two tasks, Chef Lu casually carried a jar of cooking wine up and continued to help.
After Chef Lu left, from a perspective invisible to ordinary people, a hunched-headed spirit flew out of the small wine glass. It was Tang Yongmingjing.
After Tang Yongmingjing appeared, he looked at the wine cellar full of wine and started to take action...
...
General Dong was a fat man with a beard on his face, his facial features were ferocious, and his eyes were like those of an animal, which made him look terrifying.
What General Dong must do every day is to patrol the camp. He has been patrolling the camp for a long time today and has returned from abroad.
The guards on both sides cleared the way. General Dong sat on an eight-horse carriage, covered with a tiger skin blanket. Two beauties stood beside him, feeding General Dong his favorite venison meatballs from time to time.
General Dong's hands were not honest, and he touched the maid's body from time to time, making the two maids laugh.
When the people along the street knew that General Dong was coming back, they all went out and knelt on both sides of the road to greet him, shouting "Long live the general."
If it weren't for the fact that the swords in the hands of the soldiers around him were not ready to cut on the necks of the common people at any time, people might have mistakenly thought that General Dong Da was very popular.
But General Dong himself was very satisfied with the "cheers" of the people, thinking that his charisma was so powerful.
As the team was marching, General Dong's nose suddenly moved, and he smelled a scent.
With his many years of experience in gourmet food, he knew just by the smell that this was definitely a gourmet dish.
General Dong looked towards the street on the right:
"Who's cooking the food over there?"
Faced with General Dong's sudden question, the eunuch beside him stiffened.
His nose is not that good. In the winter, it is so far away that he can't smell it at all.
But the eunuch was also smart. Following the direction of General Dong's gaze, he confirmed the general direction of the target and directly asked a team of people to check there.
After a while, several people were seen carrying a fragrant piece of clay and reporting to General Dong:
"General, he is a blind beggar working as a beggar. He ran away when he saw us."
With that said, he presented the beggar's chicken wrapped in mud.
General Dong Da had never eaten any delicacies, so he was a little surprised to see this beggar's chicken.
Naturally, he had eaten beggar's chicken before, but the taste was not as good as expected, which was disappointing.
But the scent of the beggar's chicken in front of me was a bit too tempting.
The eunuch next to him also smelled the fragrance and salivated, subconsciously thinking that it was a delicacy.
"General, the origin of this beggar is unknown. I think..."
The eunuch was still very sensible and advised General Dong not to eat it.
General Dong touched his beard and said, "Old rules."
The eunuch had no choice but to peel off the mud seal and test the poison with a silver needle. When he saw that there was no problem, he took a taste.
After taking one bite, the eunuch's eyes lit up, and he took another bite.
After eating three bites in a row, he wanted to eat more, but after hearing General Dong's cough, the eunuch realized what he was doing and smiled apologetically.
After the eunuch finished eating, the accompanying doctor in the carriage came forward to check the eunuch's pulse and tongue.
After seeing that the eunuch showed no signs of poisoning, he nodded to General Dong.
Seeing this, General Dong ordered the beggar's chicken to be brought up.
As a super picky gourmet, General Dong rarely finished his food.
Most of the time, you only eat a few bites before moving on to other dishes.
But this time was different. General Dong actually ate the whole beggar's chicken and even licked his fingers with unfulfilled interest.
When the guards around him saw this, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look.
General Dong Da said with unfinished thoughts:
"Find that blind beggar, there will be a reward."
After saying that, he asked people to continue driving back home.
The surrounding guards immediately went down to look for someone.
They originally thought that no one in Lumen Pass could escape their eyes, but it turned out that they could not find anyone.
The blind beggar seemed to disappear out of thin air, without a trace...
As soon as General Dong returned to the palace, one of his subordinates sent a secret report to the court, saying that the court had a lot of criticisms against General Dong.
General Dong sneered at this and just asked:
"How is the matter with Xuer going?"
"General Lu has not yet found the murderer who burned down the general's mansion. According to the news sent back by General Lu, the murderer may have extraordinary means."
The eunuch beside him answered cautiously.
"Another extraordinary method...
Haven't we already enshrined the 'Five Evil Generals'?
Why are there so many extraordinary ways to influence important things like me? "
General Dong frowned. He hated situations that were not under his control, which made him feel very insecure.
"General, I feel that eggs cannot be put in the same basket..."
General Dong was convinced by the eunuch's words, but he still hesitated:
"The 'Five Evil Generals' were once humans after all. Cooperating with them is always guaranteed, but that thing is really uncontrollable."
The eunuch said: "General, can't that thing be checked and balanced by the 'Five Evil Generals'?
Besides, even if we have to, don’t we still have General Lu to rely on?
What are you worried about? "
Hearing what the eunuch said, General Dong couldn't help but feel excited.
If this thing can also form an alliance with that thing, then it will be one step closer to his ambition.
Once you have achieved your long-cherished wish, you will no longer have to fear the influence of any extraordinary power in the world. At that time...
Thinking of this, General Dong had already made a decision and said to the eunuch:
"Okay, let's send someone to contact that thing. If it can be used for me, that would be great!"
Just as he was talking, today's dinner has arrived.
On a normal day, General Dong would definitely have a feast.
But today, after eating the beggar's chicken, looking at the delicacies in front of him, General Dong felt that they were just boring.
"The blind beggar hasn't been found yet?"
General Dong asked a little upset.
The eunuch looked unhappy and forced a smile:
"Not yet. It's freezing cold today. Maybe I'm freezing to death..."
"A bunch of trash, they can't even handle this!"
General Dong slammed the table and was very dissatisfied.
"Tell the chef to make beggar's chickens for me. If I can't make a beggar's chicken that satisfies me, I will make them all into beggar's chickens!"
"Yes, I'll do it now, slave!"
The eunuch looked horrified, bowed and walked back to the kitchen.
