The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

I have asked so many questions, I don't know which one Cheng Li is going to talk about.

Cheng Li said: "Didn't you once ask me what is the one hundred and ninth dish? I didn't understand it at the time, but now I know."

"Master, do you really know?" Zixiu forgot his sadness in excitement, his mind was full of what the one hundred and ninth dish was.

"En." Cheng Li nodded, "Since the emperor combined Manchu and Han dishes together and called it Man-Han Banquet, after several years of continuous improvement, the Man-Han Banquet has been set to have a total of [-] dishes. There is something wrong with being a teacher. See, how did you know this years ago?"

Zixiu was at a loss for words, bit his lower lip and said, "Master, you should go ahead and I will tell you everything later."

Cheng Li hummed lightly, and continued: "There are only [-] dishes in the Man-Han Banquet, but this extra dish is not from the Man-Han Banquet, but more in your heart."

"In your heart?" Zixiu was puzzled, what exactly did Master mean?

"Zixiu, maybe you don't know it yourself, but the dishes you cook are much better than when you first entered the palace, because there is one more thing in your dishes." Cheng Li smiled lightly, thinking that he had such an apprentice. Pride, but also a hint of worry.

Zixiu couldn't understand what Cheng Li meant, so he just listened quietly.

The two are very close, although it's not a big secret, but they don't want outsiders to listen to it, not to mention that only the two of them know what Zixiu is going to say later.

"When you entered the palace, you were ignorant of everything, but now, you have more feelings, or... love for the emperor." After Cheng Li said this sentence, he stopped talking. As expected, Zi Xiu Already dumbfounded, his face was still covered with layers of blush.

The two were silent for a long time, and it was not until Zixiu came back to his senses that he spoke again: "Master, the love you mentioned...is the so-called one hundred and ninth dish?"

"Well, true love is invincible. The dish will be more delicious only if it is infused with the love of the cook. Therefore, this dish is more important than the previous one hundred and eight dishes, and you have already learned it."

Has he already learned it?At this moment, it seems that all the broken threads are connected in series.When the master died in the previous life, it was because he knew that he would find true love here, so he said that and let him come here.

But now that Master is in trouble, only he can help Master get out of trouble.Destiny seems to be really wonderful. At this moment, he saved the master. In the next life, the master taught him many things and let him find true love.

Perhaps, this is the so-called fate, between him and his master, with Kangxi, and with the Manchu Banquet.

Without further hesitation, he took off the jade pendant "Tianwang" around his neck, and handed it to Master.

"This is……"

"Master, didn't you just say that you were curious about how I know that there are [-] dishes in the Manchu Banquet? I'll tell you now." He leaned close to Cheng Li's ear, and told about his origin and past life in detail. All kinds of experiences with Master.

Finally, he put the jade pendant into his hand and said: "Master, you gave me this piece of jade. Now, I will give it back to you. It can save your life. But master, don't forget to give it to me in the future." To save the first child you see." Because that was me.

Cheng Li was still in shock, and it took him a while to digest what Zixiu said.Zixiu smiled slightly, with a trace of tiredness on his face, and more relaxedness. He could not help Master clean up his grievances, but he could save Master's life.

"By the way, this jade pendant is called 'Tianwang'. When master uses it, he only needs to drop a drop of his own blood on the phoenix, and it can take you to another world, which is my previous world." He just said this He heard the jailer say the time was up, he stretched out his arms to hug Cheng Li, and left resolutely, he was afraid that he would cry if he stayed any longer.

What he did was to cut off his own way out, without the jade pendant, he could only stay here for the rest of his life.He looked up at the sky, maybe this is not bad, there are people here who he loves and love him, even if they stay for a lifetime, it is worth it.

The next morning, Cong Yuan hugged Zixiu and cried non-stop. In a few hours, his master who loved him the most would be beheaded. He really didn't dare to think about it.

Zixiu comforted softly: "Man, don't cry. If Master knows that you are crying like this, you will definitely not be able to walk safely."

Congyuan sobbed: "Master, I can't bear to part with Master."

Zixiu patted his head and said, "I don't want to part with it either, but people have to learn to grow up. You have to know that the earth rotates the same without anyone, and no one will accompany you forever."

Never understood the meaning of the earth, but he didn't ask too much. He knew that Master looked calm on the face, but he must be sadder than anyone else in his heart.Master is such a restrained person, he always takes care of things by himself.

"Master, don't be sad, you still have me, I will not leave Master."

"Well, Master won't leave Congyuan either." Zixiu looked at the sky, it was already time, there should be news from Master, right?

In the prison, a team of jailers came to pick up the prisoners. Cheng Li silently watched them approach, then put his fingers to his mouth, and bit down hard.

Although he marveled at the magic of Yupei, he was willing to believe that he was a disciple once.

As the jailer got closer, he took out the jade pendant and poured a drop of blood on it.Then, something amazing happened.All the jailers watched helplessly as the white light shone from the body of the prisoner who was about to be taken away. After that, Cheng Li's body disappeared little by little, and finally disappeared in full view of everyone!

I don't know who yelled loudly, and everyone came to their senses, the prisoner was gone!The criminal is a monster!

The reason why Cheng Li did this in front of these people was because he didn't want to bring trouble to Zixiu. After all, Zixiu was the last person who saw him. If he disappeared without a trace, others would definitely suspect Zixiu.But now, these people regard him as a monster at most.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and the last thing Cheng Li saw was the panicked expressions of the jailers. He smiled and said that he was completely freed from the prison.

The news of Cheng Li's disappearance spread in less than an hour. Zixiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Master had successfully escaped.

Cong Yuan said angrily: "Master is not a monster, but Master, how did Master disappear?"

"I don't know either, maybe Master is an expert in the world, maybe he knows how to penetrate walls and escape from the ground." Zixiu babbled nonsense.

"No way? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't learn how to cook, and just let Master teach me spells. Master, why didn't you say it earlier..."

Zixiu has one head and two big ones, this kid will really make trouble.But no matter what, it is a happy event for Master to escape, and I hope that Master will not forget to adopt him after he passes away.

Regarding the fact that Cheng Li disappeared out of thin air, almost no one believed it except for people and Zixiu who saw it with their own eyes. However, the facts were in front of them, and they couldn't tell exactly how Cheng Li disappeared, let alone where he went.

Some people said that he was a monster, and everyone related to him should be arrested and interrogated. However, the person most closely related to him was Zixiu, so Kangxi dismissed this statement without even thinking about it.

In the end, this matter was left alone, but it became the talk of the common people after dinner for a long time.

And from that day on, Zixiu found that Kangxi always looked at him suspiciously. At first he thought he didn't see him, but he became more and more guilty as time went on. Finally, one day, he mustered up the courage to ask a question.

"My lord, what are you doubting?"

Kangxi said: "I thought you didn't intend to mention this matter, Zixiu, no matter what you did, you are my favorite Zixiu, but I hope there will be no barrier between us, and I don't want you to treat me badly." I have something to hide."

Zixiu murmured: "Your Majesty, I didn't intend to deceive, but this matter is too unbelievable. If I tell it, I will definitely be regarded as a monster."

Kangxi was surprised and said: "It turns out that you really have something to hide from me."

Zixiu: "..." He was fooled again.

He gritted his teeth secretly, and said: "Your Majesty, one day I will definitely tell you everything, now... can I not talk about it?"

"Okay, I believe you will tell me, if you don't say it now...then let's do it."

Zixiu: "..."

The author has something to say: Wow Kaka, the truth is revealed

No.70 three courses

Since Kangxi boldly used Han generals and implemented the strategy of focusing on attacking Wu Sangui and recruiting the rest of the rebels, the war situation gradually began to improve.The most exciting thing is that Wang Fuchen's defeat in Pingliang raised the morale of the Qing army and made it possible to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop.

Later, Geng Jingzhong was attacked by the enemy, and had no choice but to hastily withdraw his troops and surrender to the Qing army. His surrender meant that many things were a foregone conclusion.

Sure enough, following Geng Jingzhong's surrender, Shang Zhixin also surrendered without holding on for long. Two of the three kings had already been defeated, and Wu Sangui was left alone.

After annihilating the rest of the rebels, Kangxi transferred all his forces to deal with Wu Sangui.The Qing army concentrated its forces to attack Changsha, Yuezhou and other places. Wu Sangui gathered a crowd to defend, but he was at a stalemate with the Qing army.

At this point in the war, Wu Sangui basically had no chance of winning, and Kangxi was a little more relaxed than before. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Wu Sangui was wiped out.

These major events in the court would not affect Zixiu. As soon as Cheng Li disappeared, Kangxi immediately promoted him to be the chief executive, and Cong Yuan also followed suit, and was promoted from an intern imperial chef to an official imperial chef.

But if he wanted Zi Xiuxuan, he would rather be like before. Recently, he always felt that something was missing, and his heart felt a little empty.After thinking for a long time, he realized that it was because the master was no longer by his side.

I don't know if Master is doing well there.He suddenly remembered that he had just followed in his previous life
