There is no need to know, he is just an inconspicuous cook.
In my impression, this man is just sitting in the kitchen, unable to beat a fart with three sticks, cooking repetitive meals that anyone knows how to cook, with a salary that has not changed for several years, and has never stopped for more than ten years since he was an apprentice.
Pass.
In fact, even if he didn't come for a few days, Dou Qi felt that it would make no difference to everyone, and no one would even remember that he was there in the kitchen.
For such a person, Grandpa actually wanted to give him the dividends from Zui Feng Tower, and let such a person take away their Dou family's money forever from their descendants.
Just such a person, why!
Grandpa is a nostalgic person, and he becomes soft-hearted when he gets older, but he forgets that business is business, so after he got Zuifeng Tower, the first thing he did was to get rid of all the mediocre and dispensable people.
When this coward left, he was still crying. He knelt down in front of himself and cried, saying that all he needed was a mouthful of food and no wages. It was really embarrassing.
Later, I heard that the patient was about to die, but why did he recover again? He was still able to stand on the stage!
"Li Dashao?" Someone in front heard it and turned around, asking with some curiosity, "Do you recognize him? Who is he? He's so awesome!"
So awesome! So awesome!
Dou Qi's face turned pale.
"Why is he so powerful?" he asked.
The man didn't answer, but the other man turned his head and spoke.
"Didn't you see? Just now, he carved the Eight Treasures of Buddhism into a bowl!" he said, gesticulating excitedly with a sense of pride, "Who told you to run slowly? I just caught up and saw it when I came here.
, and then he was taken away..."
"Who doesn't know how to carve eight treasures?" Dou Qi gritted his teeth and said.
"They are carved from tofu, can anyone else know how to do it?" Someone else said, louder, "Tofu, have you seen tofu? Have you seen tofu?"
Tofu?
What is it?
Dou Qi looked forward, and the coward's back was no longer visible.
"Which family made the offering?"
"It's Taipingju."
"Where is Taipingju? Why haven't you heard of it?"
"Yeah, aren't you here to worship? Why didn't you wait until everyone knew that they saw you before leaving? You didn't even use a pretense."
"Is this the only flavor? Is there nothing else? We haven't seen it yet. We don't expect anything that we can't taste. It's okay to just take a look."
"Come on, they specially enshrined the Buddha, and they didn't let us see it. Anyone who wants to see it can see it, and anyone who wants to eat it can eat it. That's not a rarity."
Anyone who wants to see it can see it, and anyone who wants to eat it can eat it, doesn’t it count as rare?
Dou Qi's complexion became increasingly livid.
Who was shouting for the big vegetarian pot in their Shenxianju just now? These people are scolding you when you put down the bowl!
"Master Dou."
A familiar voice came from the side.
Dou Qi looked over and saw shopkeeper Wu smiling at him and saluting him.
"Are you done? We're done too. Let's go now." He said, without waiting for Dou Qi's reply, he turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he thought of something, turned back and smiled at Dou Qi, and held his hand again, "Oh, by the way.
, Master Dou, congratulations on getting rich."
Dou Qi had never thought that someone could laugh so uncomfortablely. He stood there with a pale complexion as the crowd swayed him around.
The chamberlain stood beside Prince Jin'an, talking and laughing.
"...It's as vivid as life..." he said, his eyes widened with a smile, and he licked his lips, "Also, the plate of steamed tofu with soup on it looks very delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat it...
"
Prince Jin'an stared.
"I asked you to see people, but who asked you to see food?" he said.
The waiter laughed heartily.
"Human, if you are not good-looking, you cannot compare with His Highness," he said.
Prince Jin'an snorted.
"Which man is better-looking than that one?" He said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He looked to the other side as he spoke.
The woman was surrounded by many women, including an acquaintance.
The prince of Jin'an County hurriedly turned around and hid behind the pillars.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Chen Danniang asked, pulling on Chen Shiba's sleeve.
Chen Shiba Niang looked away and frowned slightly.
"I think..." she said, but stopped mid-sentence and took Cheng Jiaoniang's hand. "It's okay. Are you tired after playing for a long time? Mother has decided to go vegetarian. Let's go quickly."
"Su Zhai?" Chen Danniang said, trying to look around, "Someone wants to treat me to some vegetarian noodles. Where is that person?"
Mrs. Chen was a few steps behind and listened to the servant woman whispering something.
"Do you know him?" she asked in a low voice.
The servant girl nodded.
"We know each other from what we heard," she said.
Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang walking in front of her daughters.
Although she deliberately wore the spring shirt he gave her, among the group of cardamom girls, this woman's back still looked lonely, perhaps because of her thin figure or her upright posture.
"Look, who is he?" she asked again.
"The young master is about the same age as my wife, or one or two years older. He is handsome in appearance and described as leisurely. Although he seems to be bold in his behavior, he is also measured and not blasphemous, frivolous or disrespectful to my wife." The servant girl said seriously as she thought about it, then hesitated.
, smiled again, "Besides, he was very happy to see my wife."
Mrs. Chen nodded.
"As long as you are not rude," she said, sighing, "If you are rude, you can't treat your wife as someone else's inconvenience, treat her as our own daughter, and protect her in everything."
The maid hurriedly answered yes.
"I hope this child will have a good marriage." Mrs. Chen said, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang in front of her again.
At the same time, Mrs. Zhang was being slapped on the arm by his grandson Zhang Cheng.
"Grandpa, grandpa, that's Taipingju, that's what Taipingju made!" He shouted excitedly.
Mr. Zhang stood a few steps away.
"I'm not old enough to hear it," he said, glaring at his grandson and standing upright. He was a little embarrassed by the crowd just now.
This woman will come up with some weird and weird food.
"Grandpa, grandpa, didn't Banqin say that the owner of Taipingju is also here? Please help me introduce him." Zhang Cheng said, looking around with a bit of excitement, "The capital is so good, I'm a little reluctant to leave."
Old Mrs. Zhang also looked around, frowning slightly.
The people at the Zen tea party dispersed, and people came over. It was so crowded that it was impossible to recognize who was who.
"Why didn't I see her in the hall just now?" he said to himself.
It was already afternoon when Prince Jin'an stepped into the palace gate.
The palace maids and chamberlains greeted him with salutes and watched the young man pass by in a gust of wind.
"Your Highness is so happy." A palace maid smiled and looked sideways at the palace door.
"As long as you go out to play, Your Highness is happy." The other one smiled and shook his head, "It's just that he doesn't pay attention to his homework. Now that the Queen Mother knows it, it's time to worry again."
The box he had been holding in his hand all the way was placed on the ground, and Prince Jin'an sat down with a smile on his face.
The chamberlain also knelt down and looked at the box and then at the Prince of Jin'an.
"Your Highness." He couldn't help but say, "Does it look good?"
The prince of Jin'an County laughed loudly and kicked him.
"Of course it looks good." He said, exhaled, smiled slightly again, and pointed at the box, "Look, it's a birthday gift for me."
He emphasized the word "me".
Maybe the woman just answered casually, but His Highness was so happy, but His Highness actually said to the woman that today was his birthday.
Your Highness must have been lonely for too long.
But what surprised him even more was that the speaker was so comfortable and the listener was not uneasy. According to the prince, this was the second time the two met, and they were talking as freely as old friends? Is it because of the same experience?
Live through the tribulation of life and death?
"The child said that she made this with her own hands." Prince Jin'an continued.
The chamberlain came back to his senses and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, congratulations to Your Highness." He leaned over and saluted.
Prince Jin'an opened the box and looked at the three pastries left in it.
"I remember my mother also made this for me when I was a child," he said suddenly.
The waiter's face trembled, and his expression was a little complicated.
"Well, I wonder if it tastes the same." He forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, please try it."
Prince Jin'an looked at the snacks without moving and remained silent for a moment.
"Maybe, maybe, the snacks are all the same, not necessarily the same. As for the taste, I have long forgotten." He said, and then laughed.
The waiter lowered his head and said nothing.
There were footsteps outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Your Majesty will send you your birthday gift."
The prince of Jin'an County pushed the lid of the box under the tables, turned around and rushed outside to bow his head.
The door has been opened, and four waiters came in with smiles holding trays, which were filled with gold and jade brocade pens, inks, paper and inkstones, shining and heavy.
"Your Majesty has given you a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a jade belt."
"The Queen Mother has given me a pair of golden flat agate plates and a covered bowl."
"The Queen gave me twelve South Sea pearls."
"The virtuous concubine..."
Prince Jin'an raised his head, with a smile on his face, straightened himself up again and paid homage.
"My lord, thank you Longen." He sang the promise loudly.
In Taiping Juli, Li Dashao knelt down and bent over.
"Thank you ma'am for your kindness," he said.
He didn't get up from his head lying on the ground, and the man's voice was nasal and muffled.
"Thank you for what I did. I didn't carve the tofu." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Li Dashao still didn't raise his head.
He thought that a long time ago, he had knelt down in front of a person like this, begging not to be driven away, and begging to be left with a way out.
He has been an apprentice with his master since he was ten years old, and until he was twenty-eight years old, he knew nothing but being a cook. He didn't have to ask for the bonus from Mr. Dou, or he could ask for less wages, as long as he didn't drive him away.
He couldn't speak and could only kowtow.
Please, please, please, please my boss, please my boss.
Li Dashao was lying on the ground, his sleeves close to his face gradually getting wet.
But his pleading was in vain, he was driven away, useless, became a waste, sick to death, sold his cattle and land, and sold his wife's dowry field, I am old and stupid, my wife
Frank is sick and the child is still young. He has already seen what will happen next when he dies.
First the land is sold out, then the house is sold, and then the daughter-in-law will be forced to remarry by her parents' family. The children will either starve to death or be sold, and the mother will starve to death in the wild. If she is lucky, the villagers will bury her with a rag.
If you are not lucky, you will fill the belly of a wild dog.
At first, people in the village would chat and lament the pity of this family, but soon no one would talk about it anymore, and then the family would be forgotten, as if they had never existed in the world.
No matter what the ending is, there will be no ending like what he has today.
He carried the dishes he cooked and followed the great monk who was enjoying the royal offerings. Under the gaze of so many people, he walked step by step into the Buddhist temple. Accompanied by the great monk's worship to the Buddha, he personally placed the dishes he cooked on the magnificent table.
In front of the Buddha statue.
He, Li Dashao, made the dishes!
He, Li Dashao, finally looks like a human being!
How did all this happen? He raised his head slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he saw the maid sitting beside him.
"Brother, I've hired a doctor to see you."
In the dim room where he was waiting to die, a clear voice sounded in his ears.
"The doctor has examined you. You will be fine soon. Don't worry."
Li Dashao looked up at the woman sitting in front of him.
"Madam, thank you very much for treating my illness." He said, bowing his head again, his voice choked with sobs, "My child is fully recovered now."
It not only cured his disease, but also cured his life.
