Chapter 290: Cooking

Zhang Hui carried a hoe and walked barefoot at the front. Li Ze followed behind him and walked forward along the soil in the village. It was almost noon, and many people working outside were returning home to prepare for dinner. This was evident from the smoke rising from the village. Walking on the road and meeting them, the villagers gave way to both sides of the road. From the expressions and behaviors of these people, Li Ze could tell that these people were giving way to Zhang Hui, not to himself.

Chapter has a high prestige!

Along the way, Zhang Hui randomly nodded to the people he met, greeted each other, and said some homely gossip. He just pretended that the people who were closely following him were not. At most, the villagers could only look at Li Ze and his party for a few more glances. As Gongsun Changming said, there were too many people looking for Zhang Hui here, and I am afraid that those who were bigger than him would not know Fanfan. In comparison, these seven or eight people still seemed a little thin, and of course they could not attract the extra attention of these villagers.

At the easternmost end of the village, there is a house with a unique courtyard, which is clearly different from other houses in the village. The real blue bricks and green tiles and fences are naturally generated by half a person-high bamboo. The branches are entangled and green and yellow linger, and a natural interest arises naturally.

Through the fence, Li Ze could see a large group of chickens and ducks wandering freely in the huge yard. A middle-aged woman was sitting on a bamboo stool and choosing some vegetables. The chickens and ducks trotted to her from time to time and picked up one and ran away. Some of them were brave enough to rush to the side, and even stretched out their mouths to peck at the woman's clothes. Whenever this happened, the woman made a sound from her mouth, driving the chickens and ducks to the side.

Of course, Li Ze also saw two big dogs lying beside the woman. Originally, the two big dogs were sleeping soundly in the spring sunshine, but just as Li Ze looked at them, the two big dogs raised their heads at the same time, widened their eyes, opened their mouths slightly, revealing their sharp fangs, and a low whimpering sound was also made in their throats.

What surprised Li Ze was that in the row of wing rooms next to the main room, some tender voices were heard reading the article, and the person who was leading the reading was actually a woman.

Female men are rare.

It's true that it's the origin of family learning.

Standing at the fence door, Zhang Hui turned his head and looked at Li Ze who was following him, and said, "It's always a guest coming from afar, so please come in and sit in. It's time for dinner. It's a simple meal. I just don't know if Li Shuai is used to it?"

"I am so happy to be able to enter this door. Even if I have a simple meal, Li is like eating dragon's liver and phoenix gall!" Li Ze said with a smile.

Zhang Hui smiled and reached out to give in. Li Ze strode in. Behind him, Gongsun Changming was about to follow him, but Zhang Hui stretched out his hand to stop him. The face that was still smiling just now was cold as ice.

"Brother Zhang is trying to keep me from thousands of miles away?" Gongsun Changming said with a wry smile.

"If it weren't for your hard work in Lu Long for many years, I would have bitten me, but if you want to enter my door, you won't be able to do it." Zhang Hui sneered.

"Yes, if you don't go in, you won't go in, but you have to give a few benches! Give me a few pots of hot water! Gongsun Changming spread his hands and said.

"There are many stones there that can be sat there. If you want to drink water, you can get as much as you want in the stream!" Zhang Hui curled his lips and walked into the door with a hoe. The young man smiled apologetically at Gongsun Changming, followed him in with a basket, and locked up the bamboo fence.

Li Ze looked back at his guards who were stopped outside the yard gate with Gongsun Changming, and waved at them. The people immediately took off some packages from the horse's back and opened them. In a blink of an eye, a tent was set up outside the yard, and all the equipment was complete, and they were actually preparing to make a fire outside to cook.

The two big dogs also got up and sniffed Li Ze. Perhaps because Zhang Hui was by his side, he lost interest after sniffing for a few noses. Instead, he ran to the fence wall. The man stood up, with his two front paws on the fence wall, and looked at the busy crowd outside.

"You are ready." Zhang Hui looked at Li Ze with a smile.

"I originally planned to be turned away by the gentleman, so I brought all the necessary things." Li Ze said with a smile.

"You confess." Zhang Hui smiled and put down the hoe. The middle-aged woman who was picking vegetables came over, looked at Li Zefu, straightened her body, but looked at Zhang Hui.

"This is a distinguished guest, the governor of Henghai, and the general of Qianniu Guard, Li Ze." Zhang Hui introduced: "Li Shuai, this is Zhang's inner son."

Li Ze quickly bowed his hand to the courtesy.

While talking, the door of the wing door on the other side opened, and a group of children ran out cheering and excitedly, passed Li Ze, and went straight out of the yard door. The man had walked to the door of the wing room and whispered a few words with the female master. The two of them came over to greet Li Ze.

"My son Zhang Xun, this is my daughter-in-law."

After briefly giving an introduction, Zhang Hui went to the corner of the wall to scoop a bucket of water, cleaned his face, hands and feet, and picked up the dishes picked by the middle-aged woman, and said, "Jie Shuai, I'm going to cook. If you have nothing to do, you can help me take care of the stove."

"You are cooking yourself?" Li Ze looked at Zhang Hui in surprise.

Zhang Hui grinned: "There is no way. Who told me to marry a famous lady from a noble family? I can't cook anything. My daughter-in-law is also from a scholarly family. I don't touch the spring water, so I can only do it myself. Usually I and Xun'er are cooking in turn."

It's indeed a strange man.

Li Ze laughed silently in his heart. In the future, men cooked in men, which was no longer ordinary, but at this time, it was indeed rare, let alone a person like Zhang Hui.

When he walked into the kitchen, Li Ze unexpectedly found that the inside was clean and arranged in an orderly manner. According to the previous chapter, his wife did not enter the kitchen, so all this was obviously organized by this man who looked extremely rude.

Surprisingly, Li Ze actually saw an iron pot in this kitchen. He also arrived at a familiar ceramic clay pot. He stepped forward and uncovered the lid of the can wrapped in cloth. The fragrance of rapeseed oil came to his nose.

"See?" Zhang Hui laughed and said, "You made these, right? But I still can't use them, so I have always been left alone!"

"I remember these things, and I have never eaten them." Li Ze picked up the iron pot that was obviously forged from his own farm.

"I was given to me by someone." Zhang replied. "That old man Gongsun Changming may have told you that I, Zhang, have a lot of talents all over the world. Then under your rule, how could there be no disciples of me?"

"I don't know which talent it is?" Li Ze asked.

"Yuan Zhou."

As soon as the words were said, Li Ze was stunned, and the iron pot in his hand almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was quick and took it back before landing.

"So it was him? In this way, the sir must know me clearly!" Li Ze smiled.

"If this weren't the case, how could you get into my door?" Zhang Hui said lightly: "Many high-ranking officials want to enter this crude courtyard but they are unavailable. Of course, they can remove the fence and break in."

"It is not a wise move to a person like Mr.!" Li Ze smiled and said, "Since there are these things here, why don't I cook a meal for Mr. Today? Mr. How about the fire for me?"

"You are so handsome and can cook?" Zhang replied.

"Food is the most important thing for people. The first thing a person does when he lives is to fill his stomach. I am also alone and a very delicious person. How can I not cook?" Li Ze said.

"A good person takes food as the most important thing!" Zhang Hui nodded in admiration, "Then he will be handsome on Labor Day. Today I will be here to open my mouth."

"That's not possible. Cooking skills are of course very important, but if the control of the temperature is bad, the food will inevitably be a lot worse." Li Ze said with a smile.

Zhang Hui laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, then I will follow your instructions. If you say you are big, you will be big, you will be small, let's see how you cook this meal compared to me?"

"Of course I have to be stronger." Li Ze said: "Because I have not only been doing it, but I have been seeking change and have been suffering in the world. Although my husband is good at craftsmanship, I cannot keep up with the changes in this small village. For example, this iron pot, after I got it, I have never used it. I usually cook or steam it. Today I will let the husband see if I use this iron pot and use this rapeseed oil that smells far less than sesame oil, to make a meal for me all over the world."

Fry, fried, fried, stewed, and stewed. Li Ze devoted himself to the process of making delicious food. Although he didn't make it often, he could do it very well.

Of course, this meal was much late than usual. After a whole hour passed, a wide variety of eight dishes and soup appeared on the Eight Immortals table in the main hall.

Zhang Hui was quite calm because he had witnessed the whole process after all, while his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all surrounded by the table in amazement, looking at the dishes on the table with excellent flavor and fragrance. As for how they tasted, they hadn't tasted it, so naturally they didn't know.

But no matter what the taste is, the taste of this dish alone is obviously far beyond their imagination. How have they seen a dish like this on weekdays?

"If you don't become a handsome guy, you can live a good life with just this skill." Zhang Hui sighed.

"If there is no peaceful world, where can I have such a safe and joyful place to cook my dishes with peace of mind?" Li Ze smiled and said, "Why would you sit down and taste it?"
