After Xiao Yao left Huang Xiaoshi, he quickly ran towards the venue of the God of Cookery Competition.
After Xiao Yao squeezed into the arena, he saw his master surrounding a young man who was in a hurry. That young man was Weiming who was roasting the beggar's chicken.
Why did Xiao Yao shamelessly go to Huang Xiaoshi for help? He really had no choice.
Just now, Xiao Yao received information from the Dongchang secret agent, asking him to rescue people immediately.
As soon as something happened here, Dongchang had already mobilized all the spies with martial arts skills around.
Of course, with Dongchang's ability, he can command the imperial guards and even the army to rescue people, but the trouble with this matter is that it cannot be made public.
There were only two people closest to the scene of the accident. One was Lu Shaolin, who was actually escorting the illicit salt. He had already arrived quickly. However, Lu Shaolin was still two hundred miles away from Luoyang Pier, and by the time he arrived, he had already arrived.
It's midnight.
The other person is Xiao Yao, who happens to be in Luoyang City.
If Xiao Yao came to Luoyang City alone, he would have rushed there by himself, so why waste time asking for help.
However, Xiao Yao's master Ke Jianglong was beside him at this time, and Xiao Yao could not move.
The Dongchang side was already extremely anxious, but Xiao Yao couldn't escape, so Xiao Yao was so anxious just now that his words bubbled up.
Fortunately, Xiao Yao saw Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi doesn't like people who have an over-the-top sense of justice, because even if he himself is not aboveboard, his girlfriend is still a demon sect witch, so he doesn't like and can't see people who have an over-the-top sense of justice.
Fortunately, there is no such person around Huang Xiaoshi.
However, Ke Jianglong happens to be this kind of person.
Ke Jianglong lived a life of uprightness. His life can be described in two sentences:
"He who serves the country and the people is a great chivalrous person; a great chivalrous man serves the country and the people."
"Loyalty is equal to Qingyun, and you should be reasonable but not affectionate."
To be fair, Ke Jianglong is a person worthy of respect and admiration. He is obviously just an old beggar, but his sense of responsibility and sentiment for the people far exceed that of most people today.
However, if you are someone close to him, you will not think this old man is very cute.
People who are too upright can be said to be sharp-edged, smelly and tough in life, and are very difficult to get along with others.
Because the world is not black and white, and everything is not divided into right and wrong.
No one is a perfect saint. To get along well with others, you must have a certain degree of flexibility. You can make certain flexible adjustments before the bottom line.
This is why everyone feels that it is very pleasant to be with Huang Xiaoshi, because Huang Xiaoshi doesn't care about anything else except his own core interests, and it doesn't matter if he gives some to others.
His bottom line is even more flexible. If I say it's OK, it's OK, and if I don't, it's OK.
Ke Jianglong is the other extreme. White is white and black is black. Don't explain it to me. Explanation is just a cover-up. I won't listen!
In Ke Jianglong's mind, the Tianlong Sect is a demonic sect, and the people of the Tianlong Sect are followers of the demonic sect, and anyone who finds them will punish them.
Dongchang is the eunuch, and the eunuch is the rebellious ministers and traitors, everyone can find them and punish them.
If Xiao Yao told Ke Jianglong about the princess being kidnapped, Ke Jianglong would definitely ask Xiao Yao where he got the news first.
If Ke Jianglong knew that Xiao Yao was Dongchang's lackey, Xiao Yao would have been slapped to death by Ke Jianglong's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms before the princess was rescued.
Of course, after beating Xiao Yao to death, Ke Jianglong would still go out to save the princess single-handedly, but Xiao Yao's death would not have been in vain.
Now, Ke Jianglong inexplicably dragged Xiao Yao to the God of Cookery Competition. Let alone going out of the city to save people, Xiao Yao couldn't even escape.
Fortunately, he found Huang Xiaoshi, and now Xiao Yao can finally follow his master patiently and watch Wei Ming play the beggar's chicken.
…
"This beggar's chicken is so delicious." Ke Jianglong held a beggar's chicken in his hand, pulled off a chicken wing with one hand and put it in his mouth to chew slowly. He said to Weiming, "Brother is really good at this.
But it’s the best beggar’s chicken that the old beggar has ever eaten.”
As the name suggests, beggar's chicken is an unrefined food.
The method of making a beggar's chicken is very simple. Just break the neck of the live chicken, and then don't bleed it. Just make a small opening in the buttocks, take out the intestines, and then add some water to the loess to make a sticky yellow mud.
, wrap the chicken in yellow mud, and finally spread it into an oval ball shape.
Finally, dig a hole, bury the chicken in the soil, and light a fire on top of the soil.
After the fire is extinguished, dig out the oval ball, gently knock open the hardened mud, tear off the hair wrapped in loess, and the chicken can be eaten.
The reason why it is called beggar's chicken is probably because after the beggar stole the chicken, he had no pot, no stove, no seasoning, and was worried about being eaten, so he used this method to cook the chicken.
In this way, Huang Xiaoshi is definitely not the first beggar to have the idea of stealing a chicken, but he is probably the stupidest one.
In fact, chickens are very easy to steal. A bug, a branch, a leaf, and a rope can be used to make a trap for catching chickens.
There is no one who jumps into the yard in the middle of the night to steal a chicken. What is even more stupid is that he fails to steal the chicken and loses a lot of rice, almost losing his life.
As soon as Weiming patted away the cooked beggar's chicken, he respectfully handed one to Ke Jianglong.
Fortunately, Weiming killed more chickens, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for Ke Jianglong to eat alone.
…
Dangdangdang
A gong sounded, and the time was up.
"The time is up, please contestants present their own dishes. If there are still unfinished dishes, it will be judged as unqualified." The host this time is still the fat man from the Beauty Contest. It seems that he is the organizer of this series of events in Luoyang.
.
This time the God of Cookery Contest was the same as before. Due to the tight time limit, more than half of the contestants failed to complete their works.
“As a chef, in addition to having good color and flavor, speed is also very important.
When time is limited, how to take out your own dishes before the hungry and impatient guests finish all their patience is the first test for the chef.
If you cannot correctly choose the chef who is most suitable for the dishes within the limited time, you will never be called a ‘god of cook’!”
While the fat man was calling the contestants to the stage, he explained to the audience why this competition was time-limited.
…
Anyway, Weiming came on stage holding a lump of yellow clay chicken, and there were about ten people lined up in front of him.
The three judges are tasting one by one.
"This jade siomai has thin skin and green stuffing, the color is like jade, the sugar oil fills the mouth, and is sweet and fragrant. Although it is just a snack, it can reach this level, not bad, not bad!"
"Oh, this Tianshan roast mutton is bright and buttery in color, and the mutton is evenly sliced. This mutton is neither greasy nor tangy, tender and delicious, wonderful, wonderful."
The three judges walked up to Wang Rong. When Wang Rong opened the lid of his pot, a strong fragrance wafted out. Not only the judges on the stage, but also all the spectators in the audience smelled this fragrance.
“It smells so good!”
"Okay, okay, okay! This Buddha Jumping Over the Wall is actually stewed with internal energy. It is not only full of heat, but also thick but not stagnant, and glue but not greasy. The nine ingredients are all of the highest quality. Not only do they have different levels of fragrance, but they can also be integrated into one.
It is worthy of being called the super invincible sea view Buddha jumping over the wall!”
"Well, I don't think there's any need to comment any further. This is the winner of this God of Cookery Competition."
When the three judges were about to directly announce Wang Rong as the winner of the God of Cookery Competition, a young man in white came over and said to the three judges: "Don't be impatient, please try my 'Jade Flute Who Can Listen to Luomei'"
.”
"What?"
The three people on the stage looked at each other, what the hell?
The three of them put their heads together and took a look. They saw a plate of meat sticks arranged in a plum blossom shape. They looked pretty good, but the aroma and taste were definitely not as good as that of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
At this moment, a figure jumped onto the stage and squeezed in front of Xu Ziqi.
"Okay, okay, let me, the old beggar, taste it first." Ke Jianglong didn't care about anything else. He reached out and grabbed a piece of meat from the plate, put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.
Ke Jianglong caught it like this. Even if this dish was a fairy dish, the three judges would never eat it.
"It's amazing. When you chew a piece of meat carefully, there are five kinds of changes. These meat strips have five more kinds, a total of twenty-five kinds of changes." Ke Jianglong nodded and said: "
The rows of this dish equal the number of five plum blossoms, and because the meat strips are shaped like a flute, it is called "Whose Jade Flute Listens to Luomei".
The word "whose family" also means to test people. Ordinary people can't taste so many changes.
If you can taste more than twenty variations, you are the number one among diners."
Ke Jianglong sighed with satisfaction and said: "Back then, Huang Rong relied on this dish to please Hong Qigong, and then Hong Qigong passed on the first fifteen of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to Guo Jing.
It was by relying on the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms that Guo Jing became one of the Five Great Masters of the Central Plains."
When Ke Jianglong said this, the three judges took their chops one after another, regardless of the fact that the beggar had picked up the dish.
Afterwards, everyone agreed.
If Huang Xiaoshi were here, he would definitely laugh out loud.
This is just like the emperor's new clothes. Since Ke Jianglong has already said that this dish is not something ordinary people can taste, if the judges don't praise it, it means they don't know how to eat it.
When it comes to eating, we really should invite Huang Xiaoshi. He is the famous emperor's tongue and is extremely picky.
It's not that Huang Xiaoshi's tongue is better than others, but he has eaten too many good things.
Sure enough, after the judges tasted Xu Ziqi's Jade Flute Who Listens to Luomei, they all changed their minds and declared Xu Ziqi the winner of this year's God of Cookery Competition.
Xu Ziqi happily received a [God of Cookery] sign, and finally he won.
…
The God of Cookery Competition finally ended, and the sky was getting dark.
Ke Jianglong took Xiao Yao to a beggar's shed that he had chosen during the day to rest.
After both of them sat down, Xiao Yao took out the food he had just asked for from his arms and handed it to Ke Jianglong.
Ke Jianglong actually ate a whole beggar's chicken, but Xiao Yao's stomach was still empty.
"Xiao Yao." Ke Jianglong waved his hand and said to Xiao Yao, "Do you know why we came to Luoyang?"
When Ke Jianglong said this, Xiao Yao was shocked. Could it be that the master doubted himself?
Xiao Yao suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked Ke Jianglong: "Master, aren't we here to attend the wedding of Gu Yuexuan, the head of Xiaoyao Valley?"
In the darkness, Ke Jianglong sighed, and said to Xiao Yao: "I won't hide anything from you now. My teacher came to Luoyang this time to investigate the eunuchs who are causing harm to the country."
…
Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao: "Disciple, do you know what an eunuch is?"
Xiao Yao nodded.
"Alas, if the government is not upright, the eunuchs will be in trouble." Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao, "Dongchang Changgong Chen Chongying was originally the late emperor's eunuch. This man looked like a loyal and good man, but in fact he was greedy for power.
After deceiving the late emperor, Chen Chongying gained the late emperor's trust. He then served as the Duke of Dongchang for more than ten years and was known as the "Nine Thousand Years Old".
I am afraid that half of the officials in this imperial court are his followers.
At this point, even the emperor has nothing to do with him, and he has to listen to him even on state affairs."
"Ah? So powerful?!" Although Xiao Yao joined Dongchang, he actually didn't know much about what Dongchang was.
How could Mr. Dongchang be so arrogant?
"That's not all." Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao: "Chen Chongying, a thief, actually gave the emperor a poison!"
"Poison?" Xiao Yao was truly shocked.
"Yes." Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao: "When the emperor was still the prince, he was excellent in both character and learning, and his father was kind and his son was filial. He was praised by all officials in the court.
But now, the emperor's behavior is licentious, his behavior is playful, and he doesn't look like a true king at all. And behind all of this, it's because Chen Chongying is controlling him!
In order to control Chao Gang, the eunuch Chen Chongying searched everywhere for something that could control people's minds.
Finally, Chen Chongying found an extremely powerful poisonous poison. The most powerful thing about this poison is that it can make the person who has been poisoned obey the orders of the person who caused the poison.
Now the emperor has been deeply poisoned. It seems that he is still eloquent, but in fact he is already a puppet in the hands of Chen Chongying."
Hearing this, Xiao Yao's mind was a little confused.
Could it be that the emperor is actually a good person and Chen Chongying is the rebellious minister?
Then what is the purpose of joining Dongchang to become a castrated dog...
"Chen Chongying is a thief. You said he just controls Chao Gang. Why do you want to poison the emperor?" At this point, Ke Jianglong said angrily to Xiao Yao.
"This, could it be that he is..." Xiao Yao also didn't understand. Controlling Chao Gang and bewitching the emperor were completely different things.
"Yes!" Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao: "This thief wants to be the emperor!"
"Be the emperor? How can a eunuch become the emperor..." Xiao Yao was already dizzy. This series of information made his brain almost overloaded.
"First of all, Chen Chongying must cut off the royal bloodline. The emperor has no children, and the king is King Cheng. So Chen Chongying tried every means to frame King Cheng." Ke Jianglong said to Xiao Yao, "General Qi was castrated by Dongchang.
The dog caught him and he died miserably in the dungeon, all at Chen Chongying's instigation.
The plan of using General Qi to harm King Cheng failed, so Chen Chongying came up with another poisonous plan."
Ke Jianglong sighed and said to Xiao Yao: "That thief Chen Chongying actually stole the Great Khan's Princess Weini from the hands of the Beggar Jisi tribe in the Western Regions.
Not only does he want to cause a war between the Nomadic tribe and the imperial court so that he can take the opportunity to cause chaos, but he also wants to put the blame for Princess Weini on King Cheng!"
"What?"
Although Xiao Yao is smart, he is limited by his knowledge. Now he is completely confused and has no idea which of the information in his mind is true and which is false.
"Disciple, tonight, the gelding that kidnapped the princess is passing through Luoyang. When it gets dark, you come with me, and we will kill all the geldings and rescue the princess together!"
"Yes, I obey." Xiao Yao, whose mind was in turmoil, agreed to his master's words, but suddenly thought of an important thing.
Just now, Huang Xiaoshi was entrusted by him to save the princess. If Ke Jianglong went like this, wouldn't he just bump into it?
Could it be that this is actually a preset trap?!
Xiao Yao was startled and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Oops, the heavens and the earth are Lingling. Huang Xiaoshi, just think that I farted just now, but don’t go and save people!
