Chapter 23

Seeing the family members leaving the letter, He Su laughed silently and said to everyone: "The old man has been away from home to seal the book. I don't know how many people think about it but cannot get it. Today, he actually wrote for a chef."

Everyone was also laughing, and there was nothing to say at the moment. While drinking tea, talking about poetry and essays, they also watched the chefs in the He family tidy up the utensils and packing the stove. After a while, they saw that the family who had just delivered the letter was sweating and ran back to the hall.

He Su glared at her eyes and said angrily: "She is not here yet?"

The family shook their heads repeatedly and pointed behind them.

Everyone looked at her eyes, but they saw a young girl with very neat birth, with black hair longer than her waist and hips. Seeing everyone look at her, her pretty face turned slightly red and she quickly lowered her head.

When he came into the hall, he first looked at He Sufu for a blessing, and then said softly: "The master of the family ordered me to send me a reply to the book for the adults to read."

Only when everyone reached this point did they realize that the girl was actually Chef Xie's servant girl.

It is not uncommon for a cook to gain a big fortune in the Song Dynasty. The better the cook, the bigger the air, the bigger the air, but there are few who are so arrogant that they are as big as the cook Xie.

He Su was both angry and funny. He ordered someone to take the letter from the woman and show it to him. After reading a few lines, he said "ah" first.

After he finished reading it, he shook the letter in his hand and laughed, "You guys have read it too."

Qin Hui became curious and waited for everyone to finish reading it. He took the letter and saw that there were not many words on a plain paper, but it was beautiful small calligraphy. Although it was not a good one, it would take more than ten years of hard work to write it.

When I looked at the content of the letter, my words were gentle and respectful. The sentences were extremely elegant. When I saw them, I knew that it was written by a talented woman.

But when he saw it at the end, he was still smiling and unstoppable.

After all, the letter can be expressed in just a few simple words: "Sir, you want to invite me to cook, please send a car to pick you up, otherwise, I will not be called."

He laughed silently. He Su and others were laughing uncontrollably. Looking at the girl who wrote to the book again, although she still lowered her head and said nothing, she was also smiling at the corner of her mouth.

People's psychology is also complicated. He Su was still angry because of the bigotry of Chef Xie. At this time, his anger disappeared and his heart was full of curiosity.

He smiled and said, "Stop it, things have come to this point, and you must be hungry too. Don't delay, send someone to pick her up in a carriage."

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, He Su said to himself again: "It's the first time I have seen such a hard cook like this. Today I'm going to see you."

Zhu Shengfei also got together and said, "If the rectification is not done well, she will naturally be punished severely."

He Su smiled and said yes.

The girl who wrote to the book was not convinced and said in a sweet voice: "My wife Xie has been a cook for five years, but no customers have tasted the food she has prepared, and she doesn't even applaud."

"Okay. Then wait until your wife Xie comes."

Everyone no longer had the mood to chat at this time. Even old officials like He Su and Ding Bo were curious and even more disagreeing with others.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xie's residence was very close, and the carriage went out to pick her up. After only one incense stick, someone in the yard shouted: "Miss. Xie is here."

He Su was shocked when she heard this, raised her butt slightly, and almost got up to greet her.

But he suddenly realized that he was an old minister of the three dynasties and the former prime minister. He actually got up to meet a cook. He was so handsome. His face turned slightly red, and he went to see others again. But he saw that everyone stretched their necks and looked at the yard.

He felt a little relieved, almost making a fool of himself, and others were not much better, and would not be rumored to be a laughing stock.

After a while, I heard the jingling bells on the outer ring of the hall. Before the person arrived, the sound of the sound was taken away.

"I have met you all."

As they got closer, everyone saw that the chef was covered in pearls and jade, wearing gold and silver jewelry, red skirt and green clothes. When they came into the hall, they had not seen clearly yet, but they were already bowing down.

Her voice was not as crisp as the girl just now, but she showed an indescribable laziness and tenderness. The man in the seat was moved in his heart.

When she got up, everyone took a look at her. She saw that she was born with a pretty face, not as beautiful as she imagined, and was not as good as the chef in the He Mansion.

Everyone felt disappointed, but they saw that she was calm and elegant and generous, and was not moved by the eyes of these men. Unconsciously, she put down her contempt again.

He Su didn't care much about the woman's appearance, but just smiled at her, "Thank you, cook, you are so arrogant, it's so hard to ask for it."

"Sir, just call me Xiao Xie."

The chef Xie first bowed and answered, then smiled and said, "I don't dare to do this."

She wanted to answer in classical Chinese, but she told everyone that her eyes were lit up again. He Su laughed and said, "Okay, please ask Xiao Xie and others to cure fresh fish. If it is not good, you can punish me."

“This is nature.”

Xiao Xie's eyes roamed and he replied softly, not thinking about He Su's danger.

She first used a ball coat and apron, then hung a silver rope around her neck, and hooked her sleeves with the silver rope. After the rectification, Fang Buhua walked to the knife case, took the fish, dropped the arm and fell, and then cut the fish out of the water, then cut the food into pieces. In just a moment, several live fish had been treated.

Her movements are not only skillful, but also very beautiful. She is well-organized because of her familiarity. When she moves, she is calm and composed, but she makes the men stunned.

After the rectification is completed, I apply the ingredients I bring to my own, put the fish on the fire and smoke it carefully. After a while, the fragrance of fresh fish has overflowed, which makes people's index fingers activate.

After the fish were cooked, the chefs waited on the side and came up one after another and presented the fish to everyone in the seat.

After everyone took it, they did not bow and bite it. Before the lower part, they felt the fragrance was unbearable when they touched their noses. After biting it, they felt that it was browned and crispy, and the taste was excellent.

It is really amazing to give it with good wine on the table.

Because fresh fish were to be treated and roasted, they were constantly served. Everyone had no time to praise them, but they just couldn't stop enjoying it. When the stomach was filled and the wine was filled, Chef Xie made the fish head and internal organs that could be eaten into the soup and delivered it to them with blue and white porcelain, so that everyone could drink and relieve the wine.

After the fish soup was finished, everyone had a breath of vigor and felt that it was not unfair to wait this time.

He Su was also very happy. He invited guests this time because he wanted to make friends and accept them. For this reason, he presented the fresh fish that had just arrived in his mansion. If it was not well cured, it would waste excellent materials.

While praising the chef's superb skills, he shouted: "Come here, you will get ten bounties, hundreds of silver, and ten pieces of silk!"

The rewards were so heavy, but everyone in the church was shocked. Such rewards were as good as the wealth of a middle-class family, which was really a lot.

When the servants of He family gave the extremely exquisite gold and silver coins they created, Xiao Xie didn't care. He first blessed him and thanked He Su softly. Then he picked up a gold coin with his hand and smiled at the little man who sent him over, saying, "Thank you hard, take it for tea."

She was so handsome that everyone had just tried her skills. When she was drunk, she felt that she was much more pleasing to her. She was simply a natural beauty.

However, the female genius and prostitutes in the Song Dynasty were very strict, and each of them was an important minister of the court. He did not dare to be a man in his words. When he saw the cook thanking He Su, Yingying stepped back and felt as if she had lost something.

Many people made up their minds and spent a lot of money to ask the cook to go to their mansion to rectify it again.

Qin Hui felt drunk, and saw that He Su was only concerned about talking to Zhu Shengfei and others, and did not take him seriously. He was young and didn't care much about drunkenness. He stood up and bowed to He Su, "I really thanked the old prime minister for eating such delicious wine. But I couldn't beat the alcohol, so I had to take my leave first."

He Su asked him to come, but it was just to invite him to accompany the guests. At this time, the guest and the host were so happy that he could say something while drinking. This person was inconvenient here. He didn't persuade him at the moment. He just kept a few words and called a few servants to send Qin Hui out.

Qin Hui fell down and was supported by someone to walk out of the gate of He Mansion. The servants of He Mansion ignored him and just relaxed his hands and let him walk by himself.

It was mid-April and the weather was getting a little hotter. Qin Hui had wine again and felt even more stuffy and hot. It was too late and there was no one on the street. He didn't care much about it. He untied the collar of his scarlet official uniform and let the cold wind blow in. He felt very happy.

If it were usual, as he had a status, he would naturally have to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, and at least five or six people would follow him to serve him. However, his residence was very close to the college, and he rode his horse and walked in just a moment. Because he realized that the emperor did not like the extravagant officials, he simply didn't even want his family, and sometimes he even walked on foot, which made He Su and others dissatisfied.

He walked steadily, and as soon as he reached the corner of the street, he had several big hands twisting his arms.

Qin Hui was shocked, his hair stood up all over his body, and he asked, "Who is it?"

But no one answered him, only one laughed and asked: "Mr. Qin, how did the chef give birth to the banquet today? I heard that you all eat big pieces and eat happily in front of the beautiful colors."

Qin Hui subconsciously replied: "Withlessness makes people delicate, their eyes flow and wisdom, and there is nothing beautiful in the world."

As soon as he finished answering, he suddenly woke up and shouted, "Who are you? How do you know about this?"

The man laughed and said, "You have had a good meal. I have been wandering around outside for a long time. I wanted to go in, but I felt that it was so lively inside. I thought about it. I went to the military camp in the south of the city and went back to the banquet, but I still had the fate to meet you, Lord Qin."

Before he finished speaking, a few lanterns came over, and the lights were dazzling, making Qin Hui unable to see anything for a moment.

He was confused and ignored the other person's words. After his eyes got used to the light, he could see the other person clearly.

This made him even more shocked. The other party smiled and his eyes were shimmering, but he was not the emperor. At this moment, the drunkenness turned into sweat, flowing cleanly.
