Chapter 126: The fierce man Chen De

It has been back here for the third time, and Li Yi is already familiar with it.

Looking at the familiar wooden monument and the familiar colorful fog space, he murmured in a low voice: "Don't stay there like last time, for more than twenty years."

Although after leaving the mysterious space, his personal memories of his possessed person will fade away, leaving only memories related to cooking.

But he still remembers the feeling of staying in it for more than 20 years, so it would be good to be able to come out early.

Who will you possess this time?

While thinking, he pierced his fingers with the old method and applied blood donation on the wooden monument.

After leaving the mysterious space, his wounds will heal automatically, so he simply applied a few more drops.

Soon, his eyes flashed.

The next moment, he appeared in a bedroom and lay on the bed.

Eh?

Where is this?

He was a little confused.

When I came in the first few times, every time he was in the imperial kitchen, and the surroundings were full of energy.

How did he run into whose bedroom this time?

He wanted to raise his hand and lift the quilt, but his elbow suddenly slipped.

“The head of the family…”

A sleeping woman muttered from her ears, shocking him.

Is this a family?

He hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The moonlight outside the door was bright, and it was scattered in through the cracks in the window, shining on the bluestone floor.

Moonlight reflects, illuminating the house brightly.

With the moonlight, he came to the table and saw the extinguished oil lamp on the table.

Where is the fire slicing?

He was rummaging on the table.

The ding-dang's movement woke the woman on the bed. She asked in a daze: "Master, what are you looking for?"

"Where is the fire note?"

Li Yi asked without looking back.

"Aren't you on the cabinet against the wall?"

The woman yawned and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"Don't worry, sleep."

As Li Yi said that, he found the fire note from the cabinet.

The oil lamp was lit with a fire slit, and the room gradually became brighter.

Li Yi looked around and soon saw the dressing table.

When he arrived at the dressing table, he picked up the bronze mirror on it and looked at him.

Seeing the reflection in the bronze mirror, he was stunned: "Chen De?"

He recognized the person he possessed this time.

This man's name is Chen De. He has been in the imperial kitchen for five years and has also asked Li Kaile for advice on fried rice.

Chen De brought art into the imperial kitchen, and his best is imitation dish.

The so-called imitation dish is made into a very homely ordinary appearance using relatively high-end ingredients.

It looks like home-cooked stir-fry, but it tastes delicious.

This imitation dish originated from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas and has developed in various places and is most common in the palace.

For example, later Sichuan cuisine chef Huang Jinglin was a master of imitation dishes.

The famous dish he developed [boiled water cabbage] looked like a bowl of clear water, and a cabbage heart floated inside, as if it was ordinary.

But when I was drinking it, the bowl of clear soup was extremely delicious, and the cabbage was crisp and fragrant.

In fact, this soup of [boiled water cabbage] is made of many meat dishes such as chicken, duck, ham, etc., and then it is made of chicken and pork.

So the soup in the bowl looks exactly like water, but it tastes so fresh and fragrant.

Because the cabbage heart in the bowl is washed open by the broth and it looks like a lotus blooming, this dish is also called [Looking Green Lotus (Quality)] and is one of the representative dishes among imitation dishes.

However, in addition to being a master of imitation and dishware, Chen De's greatest achievement is actually even more awesome.

He was the first chef in history to assassinate the emperor, and he almost succeeded in assassination.

His assassination was not so-called poisoning in the food.

He was ambushed with his two sons on the way back to the palace from the Old Summer Palace and assassinated with a knife.

There are records in historical books: In the eighth year of Jiaqing, in the second month of the leap month, Emperor Jiaqing returned to the palace from the Summer Palace and entered the Zhenshun Gate. Chen De was assassinated and failed to be captured. Chen De and his two sons were executed. Yan Shen Palace Gate was forbidden.

But the reason why he assassinated the emperor was not because he wanted to rebel or was bribed and hired.

The reason why he assassinated the emperor was because he was fired by his original employer and his life was not settled.

His wife died of illness, two sons were underage, and a mother-in-law who was paralyzed in bed.

Originally, he was the pillar of the family, but after being fired by his employer, he had no money to support his family and could not survive, so he wanted to seek a short-sighted view.

But he also thought that if no one knew about it, wouldn’t he die in vain?

It just so happened that he heard that Emperor Jiaqing had gone to the Old Summer Palace to visit the garden, so he had a whim and planned to make a big fuss before his death, and he wanted to assassinate the emperor!

He thought it very clearly. Even if he couldn't assassinate him, he would be able to chop him to death. He could be considered dead.

He worked as an imperial chef in the palace for five years and was familiar with the routes to enter and exit the palace.

So he waited at Shenwu Gate, and while the emperor returned to the palace, he followed the crowd into the palace, and then found an opportunity, rushed towards Emperor Jiaqing with a knife and launched an assassination.

Interestingly, when he was stabbing with a knife, most of the big guards who were given imperial jackets were stunned and no one dared to save them.

At the critical moment, it was Emperor Jiaqing's brother-in-law Gulun's son-in-law, Prince Khalkha Lawandorji, the husband of Princess Gulun and Jing, the seventh daughter of Emperor Qianlong, who stepped forward and hugged Chen De.

Then, the imperial guards Zaktar, Zhuerhanga and Sangjista also rushed over.

But even these people came forward to rescue the guard Danbadorji of the Qianqing Sect was still chopped three times by Chen De.

After a while of melee, Chen De was held down tightly.

However, although he was arrested, Chen De was still full of momentum.

When he was first tried, he directly told the officials who were interrogating: "If things are done, then where the officials and others sit, that is, where I sit."

The officials were shocked and called the bandits.

Recalling Chen De's fierce resume, Li Yi was quite moved.

This time he actually possessed this fierce brother.

"Officials, you don't sleep most of the night, what mirror are you looking in there?"

A woman's voice came from the bed.

Li Yi looked back and saw the young wife sitting up while rubbing her eyes, and her bellyband was tilted to the side.

“What year is this year?”

He asked the woman.

He remembered that it was already the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong when Chen De entered the imperial kitchen.

Chen De was thirty-one years old at that time.

But in the mirror, he was a young man in his early twenties.

The woman squinted her eyes and complained: "You are the head of the family, are you sleeping in a mess? You don't even know what year it was this year?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me which year it is!"

Li Yi urged.

The woman muttered and told him: "I passed by last year. Last year it was the 44th year of Qianlong. Isn't this the 45th year of Qianlong?"

In the 45th year of Qianlong…

Li Yi rubbed his chin and nodded.

Almost the same, Chen De was still studying cooking in his hometown in Henan Province. He had not been recommended to Beijing yet, so of course he was not in the imperial kitchen.

Seeing that he was meditating, the woman lifted the quilt and got out of the bed, blew the oil lamp out, and then returned to the bed.

"What lights are lit in the middle of the night? Take fuel, go to bed quickly! I'll wake up early tomorrow!"
