Chapter 1421: Envoy from Japan
Chapter 1421 Envoys from Japan
Chapter 1419: Envoys from Japan
When he was in Xiangyang, Yue Fei told Han Shizhong how popular the female generals of the Detachment of Women were. At first, Han Shizhong didn't believe it. He only thought that Yue Fei was exaggerating the facts to win over him. But after he came to Luoyang and met Liang Hongyu, Han Shizhong knew How wrong I was.
The female generals of the Detachment of Women are not only popular, they are simply too in demand!
Since entering the city, people along the way took the initiative to say hello to Liang Hongyu one after another, and there were as many as three batches of generals who came to show their hospitality. Han Shizhong couldn't help but feel a little numb.
Han Shizhong asked himself that he was definitely not the kind of man who couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. It can be seen that after seeing Liang Hongyu, he fell in love with her at first sight and decided in his heart that he would not marry Liang Hongyu in this life.
But Han Shizhong never expected that Liang Hongyu would be so popular, which made him doubt whether he could win the heart of a beautiful woman.
After all, those suitors of Liang Hongyu were all young talents, and none of them looked any worse than him. The general from the Qin family had an advantage over him, which made Han Shi Zhongxi feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
“No, I have to work hard to catch up.”
Han Shizhong made up his mind not to go back to Jingbei yet. When he saw Qin Hao this time, he would definitely ask for a job to stay in Luoyang. It would not be too late to return to Jingbei after marrying a wife.
Yue Fei: My dear brother, who said, "If your father's hatred is not avenged, how can you make a home?"
Han Shizhong: ...Brother Yue, I think your words make more sense.
Haha, it smells so good!
Along the way, Liang Hongyu kept introducing Luoyang to Han Shizhong, and the relationship between the two was no longer as awkward as when they first met.
“General Liang is actually from Jingnan? So we are fellow villagers!”
Han Shizhong was immediately overjoyed. After chatting for a long time, he finally found something in common with the goddess.
A trace of recollection flashed in Liang Hongyu's eyes: "Hong Xiuquan's Northern Expedition to Jingzhou was so huge that the entire Jingzhou was panicked. My father took my family to flee north, and they escaped to Nanyang only after narrowly escaping death. However, all the family property was lost on the way.
There was no rice for cooking at home, and the whole family was about to starve to death. It happened that the Detachment of Women was expanding its recruitment. In order not to cause trouble to my family, I joined the Detachment of Women, but I didn’t expect that I would be promoted to a general along the way. "
Liang Hongyu is not a talkative person. Because she and Han Shizhong are from the same hometown, she only talks so much to Han Shizhong out of emotion.
Seeing that Liang Hongyu even told him such "secrets", Han Shizhong thought that Liang Hongyu had a slight affection for her, and he felt as if he had eaten honey.
The goal of the group was the inner city, and just when they were about to enter the inner city, a person stopped Han Shizhong's team.
“General Liang Hongyu.”
“Shopkeeper Tong? What are you doing here?”
The visitor was Tong Xiangyu, the manager of Tongfu Inn, and she said with an embarrassed look: "General Liang, I've come to ask you for help again."
Liang Hongyu couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, and then asked with a smile: "What can I help you with?"
“Be the referee.”
Liang Hongyu probably understood that it was nothing more than helping to taste the delicious food. This was not the first time she had done this, but this time she still had official duties to attend to.
“Shopkeeper Tong, here are some other...”
Liang Hongyu just wanted to refuse, but Han Shizhong smiled and said: "It's interesting, can I also be the referee?"
“Who is this?” Tong Xiangyu asked.
“This is General Han Shizhong Han.” Liang Hongyu introduced. "It turns out to be the famous General Han. How disrespectful and disrespectful."
Tong Xiangyu didn't know who Han Shizhong was at all, but as soon as he heard that he was a general, he knew that he must be a high official. At least his status was much higher than that of ordinary people like them. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, so of course they cannot offend him.
“It’s natural for General Han to be a referee if he wants to.”
After getting Tong Xiangyu's approval, Han Shizhong looked at Liang Hongyu again. Liang Hongyu could only nod in agreement, while Han Shizhong showed a victorious smile.
Today, even if Han Shizhong arrived in the inner city, he would not be able to see Duke Qin, and Liang Hongyu would leave after completing his duties, so he would have no chance to contact her.
Han Shizhong is unwilling to separate from Liang Hongyu so soon, and by becoming a referee, he can continue to follow Liang Hongyu.
Liang Hongyu asked her subordinates to take the others to the inner city first, while she accompanied Han Shizhong to be the referee.
Martial arts schools have kicking gyms, and restaurants also have kicking gyms.
Chasing in the martial arts hall is a competition of martial arts, while competing in the restaurant is naturally like cooking.
At first, Liang Hongyu thought it was an ordinary chef competition that only required her to taste the dishes, but she did not expect that there was a mystery hidden in this ordinary chef duel.
"What? The winner of this competition will have a cooking showdown with famous chefs from the Japanese mission in the palace?"
Liang Hongyu looked in disbelief. She had heard of literary and martial arts fights, but this was the first time in hundreds of years that a kitchen fight was placed in the palace.
“Japanese Mission?”
Han Shizhong looked puzzled, while Liang Hongyu explained: "Japan is an island country overseas. Not long ago, the Japanese delegation came to Luoyang for a pilgrimage. They said they admired our Han culture and wanted to follow my Han culture in various aspects such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Xiancai had a cultural exchange.”
“It turns out it’s a small foreign country that doesn’t know the power of heaven.”
Han Shizhong looked disdainful, and then asked: "It's okay to compete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but how can we compete in cooking?"
Han Shizhong didn't look down on cooks, but he had to admit that cooks were really rare. How could the two countries compete in cooking skills during exchanges? In Han Shizhong's opinion, this is really child's play.
Liang Hongyu didn’t know the reason, but Tong Xiangyu explained: “Japanese people are tired, and they really have nothing to offer, and cooking and food are a kind of culture in Japan, so they also used it to communicate together.”
“That’s it.”
Liang Hongyu looked astonished, but then asked: "But in the competition between national chefs, Master Abe should be allowed to compete due to emotions and reasons. What does it have to do with your Tongfu Inn?"
If Xiang Yu is recognized as the best general in the world, then in the hearts of Liang Hongyu and most people, Master Abe, who was once the chef of Qin Gongfu and is now the manager of the imperial kitchen, known as Bei Fairy, is recognized as the best general in the world in this era. The number one chef, naturally no one is more qualified than her to take the place of the big man.
"Logically speaking, it should be like this, but the key is that Master Abe is sick, and Qin Gong believes that Japan is a small country and there is no need to let the number one chef of the Han Dynasty go into battle, so he ordered the selection of chefs among the people in Luoyang. This mission It also fell on me, Tongfu Inn.”
Hearing what Tong Xiangyu said, Han Shizhong couldn't help but look surprised. He already knew that the plaque of Tongfu Inn was inscribed by Qin Gong himself.
Even if Duke Qin personally nominated an inn, he was even assigned to handle such an important selection. What is the origin of this inn and its owner?
At this point, Tong Xiangyu's philistine behavior became more and more unpredictable in Han Shizhong's view.
Can't afford to offend! Can't afford to offend!
