C15

"Old He even mocked you, saying that you don't know how to respect your elders?" City Lord Li was anxious.

"Calm down the flames, let the family be friendly. Just treat this meal as a favor to me." Old He stood to the side, watching the father and son duo bickering noisily. He could not help but act like a peacemaker.

"Sure, I'll give you, Old He, some face."

"Uncle He, I'm not going to argue with this old fellow."

The two of them spoke at the same time.

After saying that, they stared at each other, and not long after, the two of them burst out laughing.

Old He was speechless. Having two living treasures at home was not something an ordinary person could handle.

Even though there were three people at the table, they did not seem lonely. After a while, the dishes were served from downstairs.

Li Jinsha looked at the names of the dishes on the plate, such as the play of the two dragons, the fight between the two dragons and the tigers, and so on. He was dazzled by what he saw and couldn't help but laugh.

"Old fellow, I feel that the person who named the dishes is a genius."

"I think so too." City Lord Li responded.

Although Old Li hadn't read for a few years, but since he had the knowledgeable Old He by his side, Old He whispered a few words into his ear.

"A dish cooked by Chef Wu. I've read a few months' worth of books with Lao He during the war. This deal is worth it. This old fogey really has a bit of a devious idea." After saying that, he arranged for the maidservants to go to the kitchen and call for someone.

Chef Wu was in the middle of busying himself with the kitchen as he directed it. He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead when he saw a maidservant take small steps and say, "Chef Wu, Old Master wishes to see you. Hurry."

Chef Wu was still holding a spatula in his hand, almost shaking it off. "Wait for me, I'll fry the dish first. It'll be ready in a moment."

It was unknown if it was just an illusion, but Old Wu felt that the fire had become fiercer than usual.

After half an incense stick of time, Old Wu carefully placed the dishes on a plate. She held a small wooden plate with the words "Yu Yue and Long Gate" written respectfully on it.

Zhang San was about to take the dish from Chef Wu.

"No, I'll take this tray myself." Old Wu picked up the plate respectfully, as if she was on a pilgrimage.

After a long while, Old Wu walked further and further away with the plate in her hand. Zhang San couldn't help but think to himself: The one holding the spoon has gone crazy again.

"San-er, I'll leave the kitchen under your command. It must be cleaned up. After the meal, all the dessert and pastries will be done according to my orders."

The voice came from afar, and Zhang San thought to himself: Chef, as expected of Chef, even your voice is so loud, from now on, I will also be shouting in a loud and clear local language.

Zhang San steadied himself, coughed his throat, and shouted to the people in the kitchen, "Speak, I will temporarily be in charge of the kitchen."

"

Sigh, that sweep, could it be that it swept the floor and was completely covered in dust, don't you plan to let the old masters eat? "

I shouldn't have whistled, the sweeper thought. It was the most regretful thing in my life.

"You, don't hide anymore. It's you. Go and dump the trash. Your legs are more nimble." Those who were pointed out wanted to cry, but there were no tears. Even if I rubbed against the ground, I would have still provoked you.

"The one who is washing the dishes, stop. Go and wash the clothes you don't want in the kitchen. It's also good to donate them to the beggars." The man who wanted to collect the clothes felt aggrieved in his heart.

"Brother Zhang, is there something you want to arrange for me?" A man came out from the crowd and looked at Zhang San with a flattering expression.

"Seeing that you took the initiative to stand out, I'll ask you first: your family doesn't have any children to take with them, right?"

"No, no."

"Alright, there can't be no one in the kitchen at night, so you should feel bad staying in the kitchen for a month. When you find a suitable person to replace you, just say it."

"..." "Fine." Those who wanted to take care of their children secretly swore in their hearts that they would rather offend the King of Hell next time and not Zhang San.

"..."

Old Wu was stomping down the stairs with the dishes in hand. She was in an excited mood as she walked to the second floor.

"Oh, this old boy has come, causing us to wait for so long."

Old Wu placed the dishes shakily in the middle of the table.

"Subordinate Wu Ol'sixth, with the fish that the General has caught, I hope that General will be able to 'ride the wind and break the waves'. I hope that the Young Master will 'ride the wind one day and soar ninety thousand Li'."

"With Uncle Wu's permission." Li Jin stood up to signal.

"I don't dare, Young Lord. You've killed me."

"Yo, kid Wu, what a cultured person."

"General, it's all thanks to the excellent teaching of Advisor He." Old Wu scratched her head.

"Alright, take a seat. I've been busy all day, so I'm sure I'm tired. Eat everything." With a wave of his hand, a chair was brought up.

"No, no, General, I won't be sitting. I still have something to do in the kitchen." Old Wu quickly postponed.

"I told you to sit down and be like Old He, you can sit next to him today." Mayor Li slapped the table.

Old Wu was shocked as she helplessly looked at Old He, who was still in a daze.

"If I tell you to sit, then sit. What am I supposed to look at?" Old He glared at him.

Only then did Old Wu sit down in embarrassment.

"Suicide! This Wu brat learned quite a few things from your Uncle He that year. It's such a pity for him to be a chef. Aren't you lacking people? He's here today …"

Li Jun immediately understood. "Uncle Wu, my army has just been established. Old Bull and Old Black are the leaders. There are still vacant posts in the Military Advisor Department. What do you think?"

Old Wu looked helplessly at Old He, her eyes almost tearing up.

"If I tell you to go, then go. You've been by my side for so long, why are you still acting like an old lady?"

After hearing what Old He said, Wu Dai braced himself and said, "Young Master, we can agree that I will only temporarily carry the burden. Once you find someone suitable, I will return to the City Lord's Mansion to cook."

"Uncle Wu, it doesn't matter what you say. Coincidentally, I have such a person under my command called Li Weicheng, but I need to nurture him for a few years before I can fulfill my responsibilities. If you're willing to take him for a few years, then it's fine even if you don't want to."

"Young Lord, call him up. Let me take a look."

Li ordered Old Zhao, who was standing beside him, to bring the man (Old Ox was serving as a guard at the entrance of the mansion).

After a while, under Old Zhao's lead, Li Weicheng arrived at the Whisk Wind Pavilion. On the way, he asked Old Zhao, "Brother Zhao, what is Young Master looking for me for?"

Old Zhao glanced at him and said, "Young master, you sure are lucky. I've found you a master. You might be able to take on a heavy responsibility in the future." "Go be more quick-witted, Brother Wu might not even accept you as his disciple."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhao. I will definitely perform well."

Arriving at the pavilion, Li Weicheng first greeted "Greetings to Young Master", then he successively greeted City Lord Li, Old He, and Old Wu.

Li thought to himself, "I didn't lose anyone in terms of etiquette."

He pulled Li Weicheng in front of Old Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, this is the seed I found for you. Is it okay with you?"

Old Wu asked a few questions, and Li Weicheng answered them fluently. He could not help but feel a little more joy in his heart.

"Acropolis, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Li Weicheng stayed there, sluggish for a while before saying, "I am willing."

Li Jun kicked him, "Hurry up and serve us some tea."

Li Weicheng finally reacted and brought the teacup in front of Old Wu, "Master, please have some tea."

Old Wu took the teacup and downed it in one gulp.

The Washing Pavilion was filled with all the guests and added a fierce general to the army.

"..."

Inside the Star Observation Division, the Daoist Priest that was in charge of supervising the Star Observation Mirror was sleeping soundly, completely unaware that there was a shining star in the southwest wind.
