Chapter 157 1 piece of heart

Ji Lin smiled, showing a sweet smile, and said, "Teacher, don't want to eat it."

Qi Lu corrected and said: "Teacher...has no taste."

Although he said that, but in fact he was not too confident, he thought, could it be that he really tasted it?It tastes like this, although I don't want to admit it, but the taste is really... quite sour.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Since that's the case, how about letting the widow feed the Tai Tuo persimmon cakes?"

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu looked at Ji Lin silently, always felt that what kind of persimmon cake was not as sweet as Tianzi, and compared with Tianzi, it was so weak.

The Son of Heaven picked up a piece of persimmon cake. His palm was wide and his fingers were slender. The movement of picking up the persimmon cake was no different from that of others, but he seemed so sullen that it was almost unbearable.

The Son of Heaven took the persimmon cake and brought it to Qi Lu's mouth. Qi Lu was not angry at all, but tasted it. Now that the weather is so sweet, the persimmon cake is also so sweet, Qi Lu has no reason not to eat it.

Qi Lu opened his mouth and took a bite of the persimmon cake. The emperor smiled and said, "Teacher, what's the taste this time?"

Qi Lu couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said, "It's always been sweet, only the Son of Heaven said it was sour."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Then..."

He elongated his voice, and the strong magnetism swept over Qi Lu's ears. The emperor smiled and said: "Then... the Taifu thinks, is the persimmon cake sweeter, or... Lin'er sweeter?"

When Qi Lu heard this question, he couldn't bear it any longer. He pushed aside the persimmon cake, as if the sweet persimmon cake was insignificant in his eyes, and immediately rushed to the emperor, "Boom!" On the ground of the tent of the Son of Heaven.

Qi Lu said viciously: "You evildoer! The Tai Tuo will punish you on the spot today to eliminate harm for the people!"

In fact, Heibei's injury is far less serious than the injury he suffered in his heart, and Heibei is young, strong and strong, and his resilience is much better than ordinary people. In addition, Fu'er took good care of him, and his elder brother Heijiao supervised him. , plus the Taifu's delicious food, cooking the meals himself, it is impossible for the black back to be sick for a few more days.

Heibei's injury is getting better gradually, Prince Fan is not lying to others, he said he can heal Heibei, he can heal Heibei, Heibei's injury is gradually getting better, his hands can already grab things, eating by himself is completely impossible question.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that a smile gradually appeared on the face of the black back, which was exactly the same as the previous black back.

Seeing all the black shoulders, he was very relieved, and he had to thank Taifu Qi for this matter.

They will set off tomorrow, they have stayed in Peiqiu for a long time, and tomorrow they will leave for Linzi in the south, which is the capital of Qi State.

Today, Heijian had a rare free time, so after he had arranged everything, he came to the emperor's tent to ask to see Taifu Qi.

Qi Lu happened to be free and had nothing to do. The emperor went to the shogunate to discuss matters, so Qi Lu sorted out the recipes by himself, took out the recipes written by Yi Yangjian, and deleted and deleted them.

Hei Jian walked in, Qi Lu smiled and said, "Hey, what kind of wind brought the busy man Zhou Gong here?"

As he spoke, he took a look outside the tent and said, "What's the matter, Duke Guo didn't follow you?"

When Qi Lu said this, Hei Jian felt a little helpless, and knew that it was Taifu Qi who was joking with him.

Qi Lu knew about Hei Jian and Guo Gong, of course, Hei Jian didn't take the initiative to say it, Hei Jian would not "share" this kind of thing with others, but Guo Gong revealed it. Ever since Duke Guo got along with Heijian, his face was full of smiles, to be exact, it was a smirk, even Qi Lu, a dull person, could see it.

These days, Hei Jian was busy with his younger brother's affairs, and neglected Guo Gongji's father. Of course, Guo Gong didn't say anything. After all, it was his brother's business. Wherever Heijian went, Duke Guo followed him, just like a follower.

Hei Jian didn't talk to Qi Lu about this, and bowed his hands deeply. Qi Lu was taken aback, and quickly helped him up, saying: "Duke Zhou is a nobleman with the surname Ji. Although Lu is a grand tutor, he can't afford this Give me a bow, let's get up quickly."

Heijian is much older than Qi Lu, no matter in terms of status or age, it makes no sense to meet Qi Lu like this.

But Heijian insisted on bowing, and said: "Teacher, this bow has nothing to do with status and power."

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Then... what is it about?"

Hei Jian said: "It is Hei Jian who is grateful to the Taifu. If it wasn't for the great help of the Taifu, Heibei is still depressed. Heibei can be today, it is all thanks to the Taifu's enlightenment."

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Hey, Lu didn't help much. If Duke Zhou really wanted to thank him, he would naturally thank the Son of Heaven. The two plays were both performed by the Son of Heaven in friendship."

Hei Jian took out a food box and put it on the desk. The food box was so big that it was almost as big as the box. It was so heavy that it made a thud when it was placed on the table.

Hei Jian made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Teacher appreciates the light, this is a special thank you gift prepared by Hei Jian for Tai Tu."

When Qi Lu heard this, he laughed and said, "Why don't you thank me, Duke Zhou and Lu are so polite, it would be too extravagant."

Qi Lu didn't want to accept benefits from Duke Zhou. Of course, it wasn't because Qi Lu didn't like benefits. Whether it was food, wine, or money, Qi Lu was a layman, and he liked them all.

But Duke Zhou is very shrewd, if Qi Lu takes his things, won't he become a member of Duke Zhou's team in the future?

Qi Lu declined, but Duke Zhou Heijian laughed and said, "Teacher might as well open it up and have a look, before we talk."

Qi Lu was suspicious, and he was also curious in his heart, what kind of treasure is contained in this food that is so big?

Qi Lu stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the shihe, and when he opened it, before he saw anything, he smelled a strong fragrance, which was quite strong, and hit Qi Lu's heart directly, giving up Qi Lu's heart orifice and beating wildly.

--Sichuan peppercorn!

Qi Lu almost shouted out directly.

Hei Jian looked at Qi Lu with a smile on his face, Qi Lu's eyes were straightened, so much pepper, not to mention such an exaggeration of eating for a year, but there are always some in half a year, and all of them are of the highest quality, they can't be better.

Qi Lu was flustered, not because he was sick, but because he was ready to move, and then slowly covered the prickly ash food, put on a smiling face, and said, "Look at what you said, Duke Zhou, this is your slice anyway. Xin Xin, if Lun refuses, it would appear too disrespectful, wouldn't it?"

Hei Jian followed his words and said, "That's what happened."

Qi Lv coughed and said, "Lv doesn't really care about thanking you, but Lv accepts this kind of heart."

As he spoke, he also moved the peppercorn food back, as if he was afraid that Heijian would regret it. After all, pepper was very expensive in ancient times, and it was not affordable by ordinary people, nor could it be afforded by ordinary people.

Hei Jian smiled and said: "Then... Hei Jian will leave."

The emperor came back from the shogunate, and before entering the door, he smelled a strong aroma of prickly ash, not to say that it smells bad, the emperor also likes spicy food, but this taste is too strong.

"Ah... Ah Choo!" The Son of Heaven sneezed heavily and walked into the Son of Heaven's camp.

Seeing that Qi Lu was almost "swimming" in the sea of ​​peppercorns, the emperor glanced at Qi Lu helplessly, no need to think about it, it was definitely sent by Duke Zhou.

The emperor shook his head, Taifu Qi is good at everything, he can withstand the temptation and the pressure, but...he has nothing to do with peppercorns.

In fact, the emperor really wanted to ask Qi Lu, is it Lin'er who is more attractive, or Zanthoxylum bungeanum?But the emperor felt that it was better not to ask, so as not to humiliate himself and be trapped in a cocoon...

Tomorrow they will leave for Linzi City, and they will rest earlier today. The emperor left Qi Lu to rest in his tent, and the emperor did not bother Qi Lu, so the two of them quickly rested.

In the early morning of the next day, although the weather had turned slightly warmer, it was still very late to light up. The condition for the son of heaven to transform back into a human form from a small dog was dawn, so the time to change back into a human form in winter was relatively late.

The emperor changed back into a human form, woke up slowly, reached out his hand to touch, but there was no one beside him, and when he looked up, there was no one on the couch, and Qi Lu disappeared.

Although it is relatively late for the Son of Heaven to change back to human form in winter, Qi Lu is a lazy sleeper. If Qi Lu is not asked to get up early, he will definitely sleep until noon. I don't know where to go.

The emperor got up, put on his outer robe, and summoned the eunuch, saying, "Have you seen Taifu Qi?"

The eunuch said: "Go back to the Son of Heaven, I saw it. The Taifu came up early in the morning, and went to the dining room before dawn."

The emperor frowned, thinking he went to the dining room before dawn?What are you doing in the dining room?Because of his previous experience, the emperor felt that when Qi Lu went to the dining room, he was definitely not cooking for himself.

This time the Son of Heaven didn't give much hope, thinking that Qi Lu must have gone to prepare meals for this kid Heibei. These days, Heibei's meals, even a sip of water, are all prepared by Qi Lu.

Thinking of this, the emperor became very sour.

The emperor said: "I will be leaving in a while, you go to the dining room to have a look, and call Taifu Qi back."

"Yes, I'm going right now, my lord."

The eunuch went away for a while, and then came back soon. The emperor's eyes and ears were sharp, and he could hear the sound outside the tent. There was only one person's footsteps, and the curtain was opened with a clatter. There is no Taifu Qi.

The emperor said: "Where is the Tai Tuo?"

"This..." The eunuch hesitated, and said, "Teacher... is still in the dining room."

The emperor said helplessly: "Why are you still in the dining room? You didn't tell the Taifu, the widow called him?"

The eunuch bite the bullet and said: "This...return to the emperor's words, the minister said."

The emperor suddenly became more helpless, and the emperor summoned Qi Lv to be the only one who had the guts not to come.

The eunuch immediately said again: "But, Son of Heaven, I heard from the Taifu that the reason why the Taifu went to the dining room so early in the morning was because he wanted to make a dish for the Emperor... pig's trotter pot."

The emperor was taken aback for a moment, and the Taifu cooked the meal for himself, and he went there before dawn, and he made pig's trotters.

The emperor likes to eat pig's trotters, especially the roasted pig's trotters made by Qi Lu. Heibei doesn't like this ingredient, and Heibei doesn't like the stickiness of pig's trotters.

Ji Lin immediately became overjoyed and said, "Really? Then... what else did the Taifu say?"

The eunuch replied: "The Taifu also said that the weather was very dry recently, and the emperor's skin was a little dry, so the Taifu went to the dining room early in the morning to cook this pig's trotter pot for the emperor. .”

Ji Lin: "..."

Unbeknownst to the eunuch, he flattered and patted the horse's leg.

The emperor's smile froze, and he immediately raised his hand to touch his cheek, then subconsciously turned his head to look at the mirror.

Son of Heaven: "..." Tai Tuo went to take care of the meal early in the morning because he disliked the skin of the widow... not delicate enough?
