066 Destined
Shen Cha agreed very much with what Xue Ruitian once said, Master Mo's attitude towards them and her master were completely different.
Before her master returned to Jiapingguan City, whether it was the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion or the Wuding Marquis' Mansion, no matter who was sick or injured, the meals prepared by Master Mo could not be said to be perfunctory, but none of her masters would be able to prepare them. She has been so meticulous since she came here. In the past, she always thought it was because of the lack of supplies here. But looking at it now, the lack of supplies was only a very small part of the reason. As for the majority of the reasons, she didn't want to speculate. This is disrespectful to a senior. But the most likely reason is that he wants young people like them to experience the suffering they suffered back then.
"Why don't you eat?" Shen Haolin saw Shen Cha staring at the soup bowl in a daze, smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
"A child without a master is nothing, but a child with a master is a treasure." Shen Cha picked up the spoon, took two sips of the soup, and raised an eyebrow at Shen Haolin, "My brother didn't eat anything during the days when he was sick. Do you want to have such an appetizing meal? Although the boiled noodles were the fault of the helpers, Master Mo and the others would not be able to cook such delicious and delicious soup noodles. In the past few years, before the master came back, We don't have this kind of treatment, right?" She took two bites of noodles and then said, "Uncle Yan, do you think this is the case?"
"I can't say, I told you, you will definitely be unhappy. Every time I ask you to set up a small dining room in the house, you all find it troublesome, saying that you have to arrange this and prepare that, it is too cumbersome. Anyway, every day If you want to go to the military camp, just make do with it. When you said this, you didn't think about your illness and injury, right? Now you are injured and sick, and you want to eat well, and you dislike Old Man Mo. The craftsmanship is not good. Don’t you think about it, how can people like Old Man Mo make very fine things? If the food they make is edible, it is already very good. If you insist on letting them do this, it will be difficult for them. "It's done." Uncle Yan pointed to the soup bowl in front of him, "Whether it's the appearance or the taste, it's not Old Man Mo's craftsmanship. It should have been made by the assistant cook who was transferred from the Pioneer Camp." He looked at the soup bowl that was already there. Qin Zheng, who had finished all the bowl of noodles, said, "I guess it was the young man who came to deliver food to us. When we met just now, he told me that he made several bowls of hot noodles on the order of the deputy commander-in-chief." The steaming noodles are delivered here."
"Lao Mo doesn't know how to make this kind of Jiangnan-style noodle soup. What he's good at is the extra rough border style. I remember a few years ago, I told him not to cut the dishes so big. Come on, be a little more delicate. He also said that I, as a young master, haven’t gotten rid of my faults yet and am so picky!” Qin Zheng looked at the two children eating noodles, “Don’t be picky, now this condition has been met. Very good. At our time, boiled noodles were only available to wounded soldiers, and other people were not so lucky."
Shen Haolin and Shen Cha raised their heads at the same time and nodded slightly towards Qin Zheng, indicating that they understood.
"However, you should also get a small dining room in the house. In weather like this, the food will get cold easily. If you eat cold food in cold weather, it will be strange if you don't get sick." Qin Zheng rinsed his mouth with tea. He said, "Is that child Miaomiao responsible for this?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha finished the last sip of soup in the bowl, took the handkerchief handed by Shen Haolin and wiped his mouth, "I have this idea, but there is no particularly suitable candidate yet. I can't let her work alone. .Originally, Master’s three new junior brothers were supposed to serve as the main force, but now it seems that it is unlikely. In fact, early in the morning, His Majesty said that he would bring in some royal chefs, but I thought it would be troublesome, so I refused. Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. Yeah, I really should have agreed at that time." Shen Cha flatly said, "Even now I don't know what to do. It was Xiaowu who suggested that I find a few people in the Shadow Training Camp. There are a few newcomers who came in this year. My family owns a restaurant, and as the owner of a restaurant, their craftsmanship is pretty good."
"Shadow?" Shen Haolin rinsed his mouth with tea. Hearing Shen Cha's words, he frowned slightly, "Will they be happy? They finally became shadows. You can knock them out of the clouds and into the dust with just one word. They can't help it." Are you going to die of grievance?"
"Those who pass the assessment will definitely not be willing, and I will not let them do these things. How can they waste what they have cultivated with great effort?" Shen Cha refilled everyone's cups with hot tea, "Little Five Fingers" Those who have failed the assessment and are ready to be returned are selected from among them who are good at cooking and transferred to the Zhenguo Palace. On the surface, they are the chefs of the small kitchen, but in fact they are the personal guards of our Zhenguo Palace. This is not Do you kill two birds with one stone? Of course, you have to ask for their opinions. If they are unwilling, I will not force it."
"There shouldn't be anyone who won't be happy, right?" Uncle Yan raised his eyebrows, "Actually, I know that many boys in the new military camp hope to join the Zhenguo Palace as personal guards. They think it is much easier here than in the military camp. .”
"Really? Then let them give it a try. My father-in-law guarantees that they will stay here for less than a month, let alone a month. In less than half a month, they will be crying and begging to go back to the military camp." Shen Haolin looked at it. Looking at Shen Cha who was smiling and saying nothing, "Cha'er has very high requirements for personal guards. In her heart, Shadow has the highest requirements, followed by personal guards, and the lowest requirements are the soldiers in the military camp."
"Don't speak so harshly of me, I'm still a very kind person. By the way, I remembered what I wanted to ask Master!" Shen Cha patted his forehead, looked at Qin Zheng, and said, "Master, when will you Can you really come back? Can there be an exact time?"
"It won't be until April or May at the earliest. What's wrong?"
"Determine the time for your return so that Uncle Yan can order people to clean up the yard next to it."
"Why are you packing it up? Xiaofeng and I have agreed that the two of us will live here." Qin Zheng waved his hand, "We are finally reunited, Xiaocha, are you still thinking of letting us live separately?"
"That's not what I meant. Master, why would you and Uncle Yan be separated? That courtyard is not prepared for you, but for the three junior brothers." Shen Cha put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously, "No matter what Master accepts them as apprentices, or Miao Miao accepts them as apprentices. They are all members of the Duke's Mansion and should have their own place to live. Miao Miao said before that he would accept them as apprentices. I plan to let them follow Miao Miao. Live together. Now that they have become my junior brothers, it is not appropriate to live with Miaomiao. They should live near you and Uncle Yan, right?"
"Xiao Cha is right, I agree to this arrangement, what do you think?" Uncle Yan looked at Qin Zheng, "Or, just let them live in my yard. Anyway, there are many empty houses, which is enough for them. It also saves you the trouble of cleaning up the new yard!”
"No, let them live with that girl Miaomiao!" Qin Zheng waved his hand towards Shen Cha, "It's not very convenient for them to live with us. In the morning, we occasionally get up late, which may affect them. Besides, Staying with us two boring old men, the vitality that a child should have slowly disappears. I think that boy named Li Yu is too old now and is not innocent and lively at all. That girl Jin Miaomiao, The ghosts and ghosts should be able to lead them very well."
"What uncle said... makes sense." Shen Haolin and Qin Zheng looked at each other, "Cha'er, just do what master said!"
"Well, I'll tell Miaomiao tomorrow. She should be very happy."
"Okay, it's almost time. You go back and have a rest!" Uncle Yan stood up and put all the soup bowls on the table into the food box. "If you want anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow! By the way, the Liao State Envoy Let’s go, when will Jin Kingdom arrive?”
"I don't know yet, they haven't sent a formal letter yet." Shen Cha shook his head, "I have a bad feeling."
"Not a good premonition?" Shen Haolin wrapped his cloak around Shen Cha, "What is it?"
"I can't tell, but it's just a very strange feeling. I always feel that Wan Yanxi's trip will be in vain and he won't get anything. Hey, brother?" Shen Cha was frightened when Shen Haolin picked him up. He jumped and patted his shoulder gently, "Brother, what are you..."
"In order to prevent you from catching cold again, I'd better carry you back!"
Shen Haolin walked to the door with Shen Cha in his arms. Uncle Yan helped them open the door and stood at the door, watching them leave with a smile.
"It's really good to be young!" Uncle Yan waved to Shen Haolin who was closing the courtyard door for them, "You can do whatever you want, no need to think too much."
"What's so good about this?" Qin Zheng snorted coldly, "Do you think I can't see the little thoughts of that boy Shen Haolin?"
"Oh?" Uncle Yan opened the door of the main room and pulled Qin Zheng towards the bedroom at the back, "What do you see?"
"That bastard must have evil intentions towards my precious apprentice." Qin Zheng said with a grunt, "After the New Year, I will write another memorial to His Majesty, asking him to quickly allow me to remove my armor and return to my hometown. I have to hurry up. Come back and watch Xiaocha to prevent her from being abducted by that little bastard Shen Haolin."
"According to my observations in the past few years, not only the Duke, but also the Marquis also have this idea, as well as His Majesty who is far away in Xijing." Uncle Yan smiled evilly at the shocked Qin Zheng, "It's a pity that your The little apprentice is very slow in this regard. Apart from the Duke, she will not allow a second person, I mean a boy, to come close to her. Of course, except for the case of serious injury and coma. At that time, she would have objected if she wanted to I can’t object to it.”
"So?" Qin Zheng followed Uncle Yan into the bedroom, "What is your conclusion?"
