Chu Qiao turned back and glanced at Lianyun, knowing that if she offended the princess, even if Lianyun rushed out, she would still die. Whoever is smart wouldn't hide quickly now.
With an uneasy heart, Chu Qiao walked out of the room, and faced a gust of cold wind. She quickly pulled on the skirt of her clothes, and there was a trace of air-conditioning from the inside out.
"I'm leaving first." The little man chuckled, turned around and left.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath. No matter why Eunuch Ping was looking for her, she had to go. The worst she could do was get another beating and lie on the bed for seven or eight days, so she had the right to rest.
Stepping into the courtyard of the imperial dining room, Chu Qiao walked towards Eunuch Ping's room, but before she could go far, a man rushed out from the darkness and grabbed her. Chu Qiao was shocked.
Looking closely, he turned out to be a big guy. Why is this guy hiding here?
"Big guy?"
"Yes, it's me. Just now, I asked the little man to find you, not Eunuch Ping." The big man bared his teeth and smiled.
"Did you call me?"
Chu Qiao stared at the big man and suddenly realized that if Eunuch Ping asked her for something, he would definitely send the eunuch next to him. Why did he call a handyman to carry water?
It turned out that this guy was responsible. He had frightened her just now, and she was still feeling uneasy now.
"You scared me to death. It's so late. Can't you talk about something tomorrow? Now I'm going back to sleep." Chu Qiao glared at the big guy, turned around and was about to walk back, but the big guy held her tightly.
.
"Big guy, if you do this again, I will get angry." Chu Qiao hit him hard.
Chu Qiao's strength was weak, so this fist was nothing to the big man. He laughed again and whispered.
"My uncle yelled at you to go again, and I couldn't help it. He said you were unavailable, but he didn't listen. When he got angry, he hit me with those old shoes. I was annoyed to death."
"He hit you with a broken shoe again?"
When Chu Qiao heard this, she knew that the old imperial chef started pretending to be crazy again and even hid it from his nephew. What kind of medicine was sold in this bad old man's gourd?
"I'm not going!"
Thinking about the old imperial chef's doubts about herself, Chu Qiao was still angry. If she went like this, the guy must have thought that she was peeking into half of the book in his hand.
Although Chu Qiao really wanted to become the royal chef of the inner royal kitchen and escape Li Zhaoyi's fate, thinking about the disdainful look in the old chef's eyes, she really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Sister Chunxiang, you know how crazy my uncle is. He said that if you go, he will give you half of the top-secret book on palace cuisine, and he will also make you the royal chef... It seems to be true.
.”
"Forget it. You should let him keep it for himself. Don't let anyone steal it. Return this half of the book to him..."
Chu Qiao took out the half of the imperial dining book in her arms and gave it to the big man.
"Your uncle gave this to me. Please help me return it. I'm sleepy now and I'm not in the mood to talk to him."
"My uncle gave it to you?"
The big man took the book with confusion. He only recognized the word "palace" and the other three characters. After looking at it a few times, he didn't know what it was. He thought about it and gave the book to Chu Qiao.
.
"If you want to pay it back, go and pay it back yourself!"
"Hey, you..."
Chu Qiao pursed her lips, wanting to scold the big man.
But the big guy lowered his head and looked sad. He must have been tortured so badly by his lunatic uncle that he dared to come to Chu Qiao again so late.
"never mind……"
Glancing at the book in his hand, Chu Qiao couldn't bear it anymore. After all, the old chef also helped him.
"This is the last time, remember it."
"Sister Chunxiang, I knew you would agree. Let's go. It will be dark soon." The big man happily let go of Chu Qiao's arm and led the way. The two of them cautiously left the imperial dining room.
When we arrived at the dilapidated house, it was still the old habit, the big guy was outside showing off, and Chu Qiao went to see the old imperial chef.
Chu Qiao felt a little surprised when she opened the door this time.
For a rare occasion, the old imperial chef's room was not so messy. When he stepped in, there was room for him to stand. The few remaining shoes on the wall had also been removed, and the space seemed to be much larger.
But for some reason, there was a large basket of green cucumbers placed in the middle of the room.
Chu Qiao looked around the room, and finally her eyes fell on the old chef. He was sitting there, holding a cucumber in his hand and biting it.
"Don't pretend to be crazy, I don't believe you can eat such a basket of cucumbers at once." Chu Qiao felt that the acting skills of the old chef were really good, and no one else could be as realistic as him.
"Isn't there still you? Eat it." The old chef took another bite of cucumber and actually let Chu Qiao eat it too.
"You're not crazy, just keep it for yourself and eat it slowly."
Chu Qiao took out half of the medical book in her arms, threw it to the old imperial chef, and continued impatiently: "The book is returned to you. If you have anything else to say, please tell me quickly. I will not come here in the future.
There's still a lot to do over there, and I have a lot to learn, and I don't have time for crazy people."
"You know I'm not crazy."
The old chef took the half of the book, put down half of the cucumber, and stood up. He reached into his arms, took out half of the book, put them together, walked to Chu Qiao, and handed them to her.
"Don't you want to become an imperial chef? This book is very important to you. This time, I will give you the entire book."
"I don't want it!"
Chu Qiao rolled her eyes at the old chef. Although she wanted to know what was written in the second half of the book, she refrained from reaching out. She must not let this old guy despise him anymore.
"No? You are really brave, but the more you behave like this, the more I have to give it to you, take it!"
The old imperial chef took Chu Qiao's hand, put the book into her hand, then came close to her, and said in a low and cold voice: "This is the palace, not a restaurant or teahouse on the street. If you make a wrong step, you won't be able to turn over."
Opportunity, if you want to become the royal chef, you must be sure of it, and there is no one else but me who can help you achieve this wish. Don’t forget... there are still people waiting to see your jokes, and even want your head."
"you……"
Chu Qiao looked at the old chef in shock, as if he knew many things about her, including the fact that Li Zhaoyi wanted to kill her.
"Li Chunxiang, living is not that easy. Your backbone is not worth a penny. Think about it clearly. If you really don't need me, just put down the book, turn around and leave here. But you have to weigh your own weight for the next road.
, Small cleverness cannot be used on big occasions. If you want to get up from the imperial kitchen, you have to study peacefully."
After saying that, the old chef picked up the cucumber again and took a big bite.
