A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot Chapter 127

  Chapter 127 Imitation cheap dishes

  In the colorful fog space, there was a glimmer of light, and Li Yi reappeared.

   "Why did you come back?"

  He looked at the familiar space and smashed his palm with some regret.

   This time, he stayed in space for sixteen years.

   But this is the first time he wants to stay in the dream space for a few more years.

  Because he stays for a few more years, he will be able to personally experience the operation of assassinating Emperor Jiaqing.

  But it's better to come out sooner, if you also experience Ling Chi's execution, it's not so good.

  He looked back at the wooden tablet, and the inscription above it slowly emerged.

  Chen De (June 23rd in the 23rd year of Qianlong to 24th February in the eighth year of Jiaqing)

  Male, from Tai County, Henan Province, learned to cook at the age of 18, entered the palace in the 55th year of Qianlong, served as the imperial chef of the Imperial Dining Room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was good at imitating cheap dishes. In the 60th year of Qianlong's reign, he left the palace and served as the head of the dining room in Heshen's mansion. In the fourth year of Jiaqing, he was unemployed due to the case of ransacking Heshen's home and had no means of living. On February 20, the eighth year of Jiaqing, he attempted to assassinate Emperor Jiaqing at Shenwumen, but was arrested and executed by Ling Chi four days later.

  Looking at the introduction in the inscription, Li Yi's eyes were fixed on the sentence "Qianlong left the palace in the 60th year to serve as the head of the dining room in Heshen's mansion".

  He left the dream space before this stage, that is, before he went to Heshen's mansion as the head of the dining room.

  In the dream space, he studied cooking in Yu Province for ten years, and then entered the palace as an imperial cook. This is exactly the same as in the character introduction.

   And in the middle of the night on October 23rd in the 60th year of Qianlong, someone knocked on the door of his house.

  The person who came was the manager of Heshen's house. He was ordered by His Excellency to invite Chen De to cook a few dishes for Heshen to taste.

  He also said that if he and his adults eat to their satisfaction, they will be rewarded heavily.

   Just when Li Yi was about to go to the kitchen to cook, he suddenly came back here.

  After returning, through the memory fragments that have not yet dissipated, he also understands why He Shen suddenly found Chen De and asked him to return to his house to be the kitchen manager.

  On the 23rd day of the 10th month in the 60th year of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong issued a decree to Zhejiang Governor Ji Qing.

   This decree is a reply to the Jiqing Memorial of Zhejiang Governor.

  Just a few days ago, Ji Qing, the governor of Zhejiang, made a memorial to report on the agricultural affairs of the next autumn harvest.

  He reported to Emperor Qianlong, claiming that "the harvest of late grain in Tong province is more than nine percent, and it belongs to a prosperous year, which is more prosperous than households."

  This is a good news of normal preference, expressing that the harvest in Zhejiang Province this year is good and it is a good year.

  It is a routine duty for local officials to report rain, snow, grain prices, and mu harvests in their territories, and there is nothing special about it.

  But Emperor Qianlong's reply is quite interesting.

  He asked Ji Qing, governor of Zhejiang Province, and local officials to "persuade the common people to be thrifty together" and "make all the people in the villages cover Tibet, thinking that it is a plan to cultivate more than nine."

   And instructed the officials: "Don't be complacent because of the good harvest, and get involved in luxury."

   What he meant by these words was to warn his subjects that famine was still remembered in a good year, and he was advocating thrift.

   This in itself is normal at first glance.

  But on this night, He Shen suddenly found Chen De, who is good at making imitation cheap dishes, and wanted to invite him to work in the mansion.

   Judging from the inscription, Chen De did indeed go to Heshen's house and cook for him for four years, until Heshen's house was ransacked and he lost his job.

  However, from the fact that He Shen asked Chen De to cook at his house, it can be seen that He Shen is obviously already wary of his future ending, and has been preparing to hide his strength and bide his time four years in advance.

  However, after four years of eating "seemingly clean" imitation cheap dishes, He Shen still failed to escape the knife after all, and ended up with "He Shen fell and Jiaqing was full".

  Looking at the inscription, Li Yi sighed a little.

   Fortunately, he is living in modern times, and he is glad that he did not stay in the dream space until the year when Emperor Jiaqing was assassinated.

  Ling Chi's execution is the worst punishment, and he doesn't want to experience it for himself.

   Looking back at the metal plate behind his eyes, the information on the top showed his harvest this time.

  Li Yi

  Personal Occupation: 【Chef】

  Personal specialties: [Superior Emperor Fried Rice], [Unrivaled Beef Noodles in the World], [Tofu Banquet], [Imitation Cheap Banquet]

  Looking at the words [Fake Lianyan], Li Yi rubbed his temples.

  Although he stayed here for a shorter time this time, his effort was no less than when he was learning tofu banquet, or even more.

  The finished products of imitation cheap dishes look extremely simple, but they are also extremely troublesome to make.

   But in terms of taste, there is really nothing to say.

  Looking past the wooden monument, he glanced at the foggy wall behind him.

  As he expected, the concentration of the fog wall became lighter this time.

  He stepped forward and tried to press it again.

  This time, his entire arm sank into it.

  The last time it reached the elbow, this time it reached the arm. Will the whole body be able to go in next time?

  But the looming stele behind the fog wall is far more than one person away from the fog wall.

   It is obviously far from the time to penetrate the fog wall.

  Li Yi didn't think much, and returned to reality directly.

   A strong sense of exhaustion hit him quickly, and he looked out the window, only to find that it was still night outside.

   Did he sleep for a day and a night this time?

  Fumbling for the phone, he looked at the time and found that it was only over an hour before he entered the dream space.

  The flow of time this time is different from last time, no wonder I am so tired.

  The last time he came out of the dream space, he was a little refreshed, but this time he was exhausted as if he had run ten kilometers.

   Hurry up and sleep for a while to recharge your mind.

  Li Yi closed his eyes, but the touch of the mattress under his body reminded him of the bed he slept in when he lived in Heshen's mansion.

  At that time, Chen De slept on a mattress made of long-staple cotton purchased from the Western Regions.

  In modern times, a set of pure cotton mattresses from the Western Regions Province may not be a big deal.

  However, in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, the long-staple cotton shipped from the Western Regions Province was all military supplies, and ordinary people had absolutely no chance to touch it.

  However, He Shen generously gave Chen De eight beds, including Chen De's wife, son, and mother-in-law.

  In terms of human relations and sophistication, He Shen is indeed a fine individual who covers everything.

  He is also extremely generous to his own people, and his spending is generous, and every move is a reward for a big deal.

  Under the money offensive, his guards, servants, maids and other personnel are all loyal to him and follow his lead.

   It was precisely because of his generous rewards that Chen Decai developed a habit of spending money lavishly and becoming addicted to gambling. In the end, he owed a huge debt and had to go to assassinate the emperor, betting his life for the last time.

   In the final result, both He Shen and Chen De lost.

  Only Li Yi returned to reality with his imitation cheap cooking skills.

  This may be the so-called time and fate!

  As his thoughts raced, Li Yi's drowsiness gradually became drowsy.

   These are all things in the dream world, and have nothing to do with him.

  He has to hurry up and get some more sleep, and he has to get up early to buy groceries tomorrow morning!

   It was a dreamless night, and when he was woken up by the alarm clock, it was already six o'clock in the morning.

   Rubbing his eyes, he stretched, turned over and sat up, looked out the already lit window, and yawned.

   Taking out his phone, he sent Liu Yifei a message.

   "Wake up and go grocery shopping."

   As expected, after he finished brushing his teeth, he did not receive a reply.

  So, he directly dialed a voice call.

  It rang a few times, the voice call was connected, and Liu Yifei's confused voice came from the phone: "Hello?"

   "I'm Li Yi, are you still going to buy vegetables?" Li Yi asked.

  Liu Yifei obviously hadn't fully woken up yet. After reacting for two seconds, she said in a daze, "Go, I'll get up right away."

   "Okay, meet downstairs at 6:30!"

  Li Yi reminded.

   "Okay, hang up and bye."

  Liu Yifei said goodbye, but the voice call did not hang up.

  Li Yi was a little puzzled, and was about to hang up, when he heard Liu Yifei stretching her waist and moaning on the phone: "Hmm~~! I don't want to get up~..."

  Li Yi has black lines all over his head.

  Do you want to remind her that she hasn't hung up yet?

  Li Yi thought for a while, then hung up the voice call.

   Forget it, let the family society die.
