When Qi Lu saw the sky, it was almost noon. He quickly got up from the couch. His crown was crooked and his clothes were wrinkled. Ji Lin asked the eunuch to come in and wash Qi Lu's hair. After a while, Mr. Qi, who had a dull look on his face just now, became well-dressed again.

Ji Lin saw Qi Lu in a hurry and said, "Master, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Qi Lu reported back: "Back to the emperor, Lu Zheng wants to visit the great Sima of the Song Dynasty."

Yes, the prisoners of the Song Dynasty have been captured and have not been dealt with yet. It is now noon, and Qi Lu is ready to take the first step to conquer Kong Fujia.

Catching Kong Fujia is only the preliminary preparation for conquering Kong Fujia, the later stage is the most important.

Ji Lin said curiously: "Oh? How does the Taifu plan to conquer the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty?"

Qi Lu smiled slightly and said: "The Great Sima of the Song Dynasty is loyal, foolish and loyal, and he is a tough guy. Naturally, the pain of flesh and blood cannot make the Great Sima give up. The only way is to alienate the Duke of Song and the Great Sima, so that the Song Dynasty Duke Song questioned Da Sima's loyalty, and in the end Da Sima would be pushed to the emperor's camp by Song Gong himself."

After capturing the prisoners of the Song Dynasty last night, Qi Lu had already made arrangements to imprison all the prisoners in the prison, including Song Gong and Yi. They were all imprisoned in the prison.

But there was a surprise, it was Kong Fujia!

Kong Fujia was not imprisoned in a dirty and dark prison, but was placed under house arrest in the palace of Zheng State. He also talked nicely and invited Kong Fujia to be his guest.

In this way, if this matter reaches the ears of Song Gong and Yi, Song Gong and Yi will definitely be suspicious.

Qi Lu added: "But if Song Gong can sit in this seat today, he must not be a fool or an idiot. It is impossible to doubt Da Sima so easily."

Ji Lin nodded and said, "Exactly."

The reason why Song Gong and Yi came to power was that they were the best at winning people's hearts by pretending to be obedient. If he was not obedient, how could Feng's biological father and his uncle feel at ease and pass the throne to Song Gong and Yi, and also give him the throne? What about his own son, Prince Feng, who drove him out of the Song Dynasty?

Song Gong and Yi were good at winning people's hearts, and Kong Fujia swore to serve him to the death. Therefore, it can be seen that Song Gong was a smart man, and an extremely smart man. It was impossible for him to win over just because of such a trivial matter. Falling into the trap of alienation.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Of course there is a next step. The next step is to give Da Sima good food and drink, and feed Song Gong with fermented vegetables. Lu is also planning to cook himself and prepare meals for Da Sima. In this way, When the news spread to the sky, Song Gong was so arrogant that his heart was naturally unbalanced."

Although Song Gong is a smart man, he can never stand up to repeated estrangements. Moreover, because Song Gong is a smart man, even if he knows that this is a estrangement plan, he still treats Kong's father with his arrogant and suspicious temperament. Jia still has some grudges, that's enough.

The emperor thinks this is a good way to attack the heart, but...

As soon as he heard that Qi Lu wanted to prepare a meal for Kong Fujia in person, he suddenly thought of how Kong Fujia had followed Song Gong's order to seduce Qi Lu when the evil cao men met recently, and the two of them were still drunk in the dining room.

, Qi Lu slept with his head on Kong Fujia's chest, and the emperor's soreness immediately turned over.

The emperor said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "The master has done his best for a prisoner of the Song Dynasty. He really worked hard."

Listening to the emperor's tone, Qi Lu always felt a little strange, but he didn't hear anything strange for a while, and he said respectfully: "It's hard for Lu to share the emperor's worries."

The emperor was about to die of pain, but Qi Lu said he didn't feel it was hard, so he could only sigh silently. He couldn't blame the Taifu, because the Taifu was a lot slow in terms of feelings.

Ji Lin then said, "I wonder what kind of delicacies the master is going to cook for Da Sima. Now that the master is going to prepare meals for the people of Song Dynasty, why should he ignore me? I haven't tasted the master's craftsmanship for a long time."

Qi Lu always felt that... the emperor was acting coquettishly towards him, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.

However, Qi Lu knew that one thing was not an illusion, and that was that the emperor was telling lies with his eyes open. The emperor had eaten sesame paste pancakes before, so how could he say that he had not tasted his own handicrafts for a long time?

Ji Lin took Qi Lu's hand and said in a low voice, suppressing his possessiveness, "I don't care, what meal the master wants to give to the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty must be eaten by me first."

Qi Lu: "..." After talking for a long time, the emperor is a foodie.

The meal Qi Lu wants to make is actually very simple. All the ingredients are prepared in advance. There is only one dish, rice and vegetables, and you can eat it to your heart's content, that is - claypot rice.

Qi Lu had made some sausages a few days ago, including Sichuan flavor, Guangzhou flavor, salty and sweet, and now they are putting them to use.

Qi Lu promised the emperor that before delivering meals to Kong Fujia, he would deliver them to the emperor first, and the emperor let him go.

Qi Lu entered the dining room and asked the waiter to take out the sausages that he had made recently. Qi Lu chose a few Cantonese sausages, cut them into sections, got some vegetables, washed the rice, and cooked the claypot rice.

, taking advantage of this free time, start to adjust the sauce. After the claypot rice comes out of the pot, pour the sauce on top with a "stuck" sound, then stir it, and you're done.

Qi Lu made a total of two pots of claypot rice. After it came out of the oven, he took one of the pots of claypot rice and headed to the emperor's palace. He arrived just in time, and it happened to be lunch time.

Ji Lin finished reading the document and put it aside. Suddenly he smelled a fragrant smell, which was similar to the smell of rice, but much stronger than the smell of rice. When he looked up, he saw that it was Taifu Qi who had returned.

.

Qi Lu put the clay pot rice on the table. The emperor couldn't wait to lift the lid of the special pot. Qi Lu quickly stopped him and said, "Emperor, it's hot!"

Ji Lin was burned a bit, so she quickly pinched her earlobe, blew on her fingertips when it was hot, and her actions were really very childlike, and she felt particularly aggrieved, as if to say, "How dare this pot burn this person?"

"!

Qi Lu was helpless and said: "Emperor, are you burned?"

Seeing Qi Lu caring about him, Ji Lin smiled and said, "Nothing, just a little red."

Qi Lu checked the emperor's fingers. The fingertips were a little red, but there should be no serious problems. Then he said, "Emperor, be careful when scalding. This clay pot rice is not finished yet. There is one more process to do."

As Qi Lu spoke, he used a cloth towel to cover the pot and opened the lid. With a "whoosh" sound, fragrant hot steam came out. The hot steam brought with it a rich aroma, which was the aroma of the rice that was suffocated by the pot.

, as well as the salty and sweet flavor of Cantonese sausage, which is rich and enticing.

As the rich water vapor dispersed, the pot was filled with white rice, covered with a layer of something that the emperor couldn't name. It looked like meat, but he couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. The emperor didn't know.

, this is indeed meat, but it is meat that has been processed by Qilv, which is Guangwei sausage.

In addition to the sausages cut into small pieces, there are also vegetables and some bacon on the side, which are covered with white rice. It is full of ingredients and almost lifts the lid of the pot.

Just looking at this big pot full of rice makes me feel extremely satisfied, especially when I am hungry. Seeing this white rice will immediately make me feel better.

Ji Lin looked eager to give it a try and said, "Master, what steps are still needed?"

Qi Lu saw that his greedy look was somewhat similar to the little local dog he had raised, so he took out the prepared sauce and placed it in a bronze bean. Qi Lu poured all the sauce into it.

into the pot, and then use a small bronze dagger to mix the rice, sauce and various ingredients in the pot together.

"Hiss, sizzle -" The pot is still hot, and when the sauce is poured in and stirred, it immediately smells burnt. The sauce and rice are fully melted, and the white rice is crystal clear, with clear grains, and is coated in the sauce.

There was a layer of light amber color, and there was a layer of burnt crispy rice under the pot. Qi Lu also shoveled it up with a small dagger. The burnt fragrance, the aroma of sauce, the aroma of rice, and the aroma of various ingredients were mixed together.

, the layers are clear and complement each other. They stimulate each other and are simply a temptation to the taste buds.

The emperor couldn't resist this temptation. He pursed his lips slightly and watched eagerly as Qi Lu mixed the claypot rice, then took out a small bowl and handed it over.

Ji Lin immediately took it and scooped up the amber-colored rice evenly covered with sauce with a small dagger. He took a bite of the rice first. The Emperor of Rice had eaten it. Every meal of the Emperor required six kinds of staple food. What kind of staple food was missing?

I have eaten rice before, but I have never tasted such sweet rice. The mellow rice, mixed with the salty sauce, actually exudes a sweet smell of rice, which is indescribable in the mouth.

The emperor immediately took another bite of Cantonese sausage. The Cantonese sausage made by Qilv is a very thin type, thin and tough, meaty in the mouth, full of appetite, sweet and slightly salty, mixed with salty and slightly sweet rice, salty

The sweet flavors stimulate each other and are not cloying at all. The authentic Cantonese claypot rice tastes amazing!

Ji Lin ate sausages for the first time. In the Spring and Autumn Period, because there were no refrigerators and ice cubes were very scarce, meat and vegetables were often made into pickles. Pickles were extremely developed, but there were no sausages yet.

So when the emperor ate sausages for the first time, he was inevitably surprised. The outside was made of casings, which were slightly crispy. When he bit into the casings, he found that the ingredients used were solid and the Cantonese-style sausages were moderately fat and thin. The taste of the sausages was not bad, and it was also greasy.

, the oil and water moisten the sausage, giving it an indescribable mellow aroma.

Ji Lin opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Master, what kind of meat is this? I have never tasted it before."

Qi Lu saw that the emperor's food was delicious. The emperor's eating appearance was very elegant, but extremely contagious, which made those who cooked the food feel a spontaneous sense of satisfaction. Qi Lu liked people who ate delicious food, so he would not let himself down.

craftsmanship.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Emperor, this is a kind of food made from meat. It is called sausage. It is dried on weekdays. When it is time to eat, you only need to wash it before adding it to the dish."

The emperor loved Cantonese sausage very much. He filled a big pot of claypot rice and specially picked up the Cantonese sausage. He was quite satisfied with the meal. As he ate it, he sighed and said, "The sausages made by Taifu are very delicious."

In the end, because of the enjoyment of eating, it was simply simplified to - Taifu's sausage is absolutely delicious.

Qi Lu originally had plans for the emperor, but now that he heard that the emperor "taught himself without a teacher", Qi Lu started to have some wild ideas.

The little devil in Qi Lu's mind couldn't help but rush out and was thinking about it. At this moment, the emperor said in an upright tone: "The sausage of Taifu is just a little thin. It would be better if it were thicker."

."

Qi Lu: "..."

The emperor had eaten the delicious clay pot rice, and now it was finally Kong Fujia's turn. Qi Lu also put a pot of clay pot rice on the fire. When the emperor finished eating, Qi Lu went to take down the pot of clay pot rice.

Prepare to take it to find Kong Fujia.

Ji Lin was worried that Qi Lu would go alone. Firstly, Kong Fujia was a military commander, but Qilu didn't know martial arts at all. Ji Lin was afraid that Qilu would suffer a loss. Secondly...

Since Kong Fujia had been ordered to seduce Qi Lu a few days ago, Ji Lin was a vengeful person and not very narrow-minded. Naturally, he was worried about Qi Lu going to see Kong Fujia and had to go with him.

So Ji Lin and Qi Lu went to the small palace where Kong Fujia was imprisoned. The door was heavily guarded. Duke Ji's father was on duty. When he saw them, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Meet the Emperor."

After that, he saluted Qi Lu and said, "Master Qi."

Qi Lu returned the favor and said, "Mr. Guo, how do you like the Chief Sima of the Song Dynasty?"

Guo Gongji's father frowned, shook his head and said: "Since being imprisoned yesterday, he has not eaten or eaten, and he has not said a word. However, the body of the great Sima of the Song Dynasty is very strong, and it is impossible to kill him even for a while."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't eat. Lu has plenty of ways to make him eat."

Guo Gongji's father opened the palace door for them, and Kong Fujia sat in the palace. He was wrapped in chains but not shackles, like a stone sculpture, sitting quietly in the palace. When he saw Ji Lin and Qi Lu come in,

His eyes remained motionless, like a blind man.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Da Sima, it's time to have a meal. This is the meal that Lu personally prepared for Da Sima. I also asked Da Sima to show his respect."

Kong Fujia just glanced sideways at Qi Lu and did not bow to the emperor. Duke Ji's father said coldly: "The guilty minister of the Song Dynasty! Why don't you bow to the emperor when you see him?"

Kong Fujia said in a hoarse voice: "I am a humble general who is about to die. Do I still need to care about these red tapes?"

Ji Lin said calmly: "Oh? Who said that the Great Sima of the Song Dynasty should be executed?"

Kong Fujia laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "Now that we are defeated, we will be executed today and executed tomorrow. Isn't it the same? What's the difference?"
