Chapter 405 The entire dynasty is in complete civil strife!
As the lid of the second dish was opened, a whole bear paw was covered with a layer of brown and red shiny soup, which was thick and bright.
Lu Qingqing also picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. It melted in her mouth, with a rich taste mixed with the salty and fresh taste of ham.
It tastes so delicious!
Lu Qingqing gave Master Tang a thumbs up, then realized that he might not understand.
After quickly swallowing the meat in his mouth, he praised Master Tang repeatedly.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Master Tang also smiled.
He really loves cooking, and there is nothing more joyful than having his food recognized!
Lu Qingqing took the opportunity to communicate with Master Tang and planned to let him make the other two pairs of bear paws.
Master Tang didn't expect that she had two pairs of bear paws in her hands, and he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
But the next thought that popped into his mind was how to prepare the remaining two bear paws so as not to waste them.
The steamed bear paw and braised bear paw I just made today are the most commonly used methods.
But now that we have so many bear paws, we can’t waste them easily. We have to study several different methods.
When his master was still around, he had no bear paws, so he often tried to make bear paws by using the flavors of other meats.
If the master knew that he had so many things to do, he would probably be very happy!
Thinking of this, Master Tang fell into a kind of happy trouble.
Seeing Master Tang keeping his mouth wide open for a long time, Lu Qingqing asked:
"Master Tang, when would it be convenient for you to make these two bear paws? And what's the reasonable price?"
Lu Qingqing asked twice in a row, but Master Tang was so absorbed in what ingredients to use to make bear paws that he didn't even hear what was said.
Seeing this, the waiter nudged Master Tang with his elbow and repeated what he had just said in a low voice.
Master Tang finally came back to his senses, but the ingredients were still on his mind. He stared at Lu Qingqing and said,
"Bring the bear paws to me after dinner, and I'll make them right away.
This bear paw has been kept for too long and is no longer fresh! "
As he spoke, he muttered the names of the ingredients, turned around and ran out of the private room.
As the stairs clattered down, Lu Qingqing heard him shouting to the shopkeeper downstairs:
"Boss, I need a day off. Xiao Chen will still be in charge of the kitchen!"
As he said that, he ran to the kitchen with a bang.
In the private room, the second brother looked at Lu Qingqing awkwardly and explained:
"Please forgive me, my dear guest. Chef Tang is very skilled, but once he tries to come up with a new dish, he becomes a bit obsessed!
This was also the case every day when I was researching several new dishes in the building!"
As he said this, he seemed to be worried that Lu Qingqing would blame him, so he added another sentence.
"But don't worry, nothing Chef Tang makes is bad!"
Lu Qingqing smiled and nodded, watching the second brother leave.
In fact, she could understand that Master Tang was a bit like the scientific researchers in her previous life.
Once I come across a topic that interests me, I will study it day and night!
In the private room, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang had a delicious lunch before leaving in their ox cart.
When I came back to deliver bear paws, I booked a few more tables as usual and came back to collect them in the evening.
When the second brother saw the expressions of the two men, he was happier than seeing the God of Wealth.
In the past few days, he has earned more than one or two taels of silver in commission alone!
On the second day, when Lu Qingqing and the others came to inspect the bear paws, they discovered that Master Tang had developed four different methods of cooking.
She tried all four flavors and could only say that it was the right thing to let Chef Tang make this bear paw.
This time, she was reluctant to eat the bear paws and packed them up directly.
When paying the production fee, Lu Qingqing saw the dark circles under Master Tang's eyes and deliberately gave him more.
In the next few days, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang continued to go shopping, replenish supplies, and order meals every day.
However, today, when the two of them came to Ruyi Ju for dinner as usual, they unexpectedly heard some important news from the waiter.
Last night, the young master of the Xu family entertained his friends at a banquet held at Ruyi Residence.
The waiter accidentally heard some news when he was serving the dishes last night.
He knew that Lu Qingqing and others were planning to go south, so he told them the news when they came over for dinner.
To sum up, the entire dynasty was in complete civil strife!
The initial introduction was that someone in the court reported that the King of Qi was secretly forging weapons with the intention of rebellion.
At the suggestion of his ministers, the emperor summoned the King of Qi to the court to explain the reason.
The King of Qi knew his own business, and he did it.
A few years ago, when the barbarians attacked, the imperial court was completely unable to provide support, and he saw the signs.
In the past few years, he secretly minted gold and silver in his fiefdom, recruited soldiers and increased his strength.
What he hopes for is that if one day the world really falls into chaos, he will have the right to fight for it.
Just like Emperor Chengzu, he can also achieve great success.
This time, the imperial court issued several decrees in succession, asking the King of Qi to return to the capital.
For the sake of his life, the King of Qi naturally did not dare to enter the capital.
He knew the civil servants in the court too well!
Even if he did not rebel, those ministers who disliked the vassal kings would have wanted to fabricate charges against him.
If he really went back, he would be accused of treason.
Not only was the entire palace and its territories taken back by the court, but the entire family was imprisoned and beheaded.
He knew very well that going back would lead to death.
Therefore, at the suggestion of the royal staff, they rebelled directly.
Now, the imperial court has sent troops to attack the King of Qi, and I heard that the two sides have already started fighting!
By the way, this King of Qi was the one who had previously concealed the news of the Jingou and secretly mined gold.
Then, she stole the warehouse from the King of Qi.
At the same time, because of the rebellion of the King of Qi, two other vassal kings took the opportunity to rise up in rebellion.
Among them, Prince Jing, who was adjacent to the territory of Prince Qi, had reached some kind of deal with Prince Qi, but he actually raised an army and joined Prince Qi in fighting against the imperial army.
The other King Huai, whose territory was in the south, was also said to have recruited soldiers in the territories of the vassal kings under the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
However, although these two princes recruited soldiers at the same time, their reputations were completely different.
I heard that Prince Jing directly sent troops to make large-scale arrests, and took away all the men of marriageable age to join the army.
King Huai, on the other hand, recruited soldiers for a fee under the slogan "One person joins the army, the whole family is honored."
I heard that as long as you are selected to join the army, you can get two taels of silver as enlistment fee.
However, King Huai had high requirements for selecting soldiers, and many people were very upset and beat their chests after being rejected!
When Lu Qingqing heard King Huai's banner, she suspected that she had met a "fellow villager".
However, she is now just a little farm girl.
As for the game between these bigwigs, she just wanted to stay away and save her life.
Today's feudal dynasty is like a fading dragon.
Although it is close to decay, it is not something that ordinary people can easily resist.
Ordinary people would be wiped out if they were swept by the wind brought by the dragon's tail.
Back to the current situation, it can be described with the old saying, one good news and one bad news.
The good news is that they have passed the King of Qi's territory.
The bad news is that Yangfeng County is Prince Jing's territory.
Prince Jing's palace is located in the prefectural capital, about a hundred miles away from Yangfeng City.
