"Is there anyone who cooks better than us? You don't think that the girl who came into the kitchen with the master is a chef and cooks better than us, do you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shook their heads and waved their hands.
"No, no."
"How is this possible?"
"I don't think so either."
"That girl looks young, only in her twenties. It seems like she has a special relationship with the masters. She must be a relative or friend. She doesn't look like a specially hired chef from outside."
"Yeah, that doesn't look like it to me, but how do you explain why the three of them went into the kitchen together and kept poking around and mumbling for a long time before coming out?"
"Yeah, what are those three doing in there? They won't let us in, and they won't let us help."
"Oh, what's going on? The main thing is that they don't punish us, nor do they scold or beat us. They just leave us alone. It's really uncomfortable to stab someone with a slow knife. It's better to kill us with a single blow."
…
The imperial chefs were working hard outside, while Su Miaomiao and the other three were chatting in the house.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao straightened up and saw out of the corner of her eye that there were many people standing in the yard outside.
"Why are they still standing there? Didn't you tell them to go and rest? Is there something wrong? Why don't you go and ask them?"
Xiao Yunfei glanced outside and then gave Zhang Xing a wink.
"Go and ask what's going on."
"OK."
Zhang Xing responded and turned to walk outside.
"Imperial chefs, why are you still here?"
Seeing him come out, the imperial chefs hurriedly saluted and called out respectfully.
"Master Imperial Master."
"Didn't I tell you to go and rest? What's the matter with you staying here?"
The master did tell them to go and rest just now, but how could they take such words seriously? It sounded like he was just saying something in anger.
They would be fools if they really left.
Besides, they have to serve their master meals every day. If they leave, what will the master eat?
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
The chef stepped forward and answered respectfully.
"Master Imperial Master, we want to stay here and wait for orders, so that the master won't be unable to find us when he needs help."
So that's how it is.
Zhang Xing waved his hand and said.
"It's okay, you guys can go back. We don't need you here. We'll take care of the food ourselves. Just think of this as a day off for you."
"Have a holiday?"
"It's just a rest day."
"oh."
The chef stretched out his words, rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively.
"Master Imperial Master, have we done something wrong to anger the Master? Please tell me something."
"Why do you say that?"
Zhang Xing was a little surprised.
Then he suddenly understood and smiled helplessly.
"Don't think too much. I told you to rest because my sister-in-law is here."
Su Miaomiao has not yet agreed to become the empress, so for the time being he can only call her sister-in-law when introducing her to others.
He paused and continued.
"We want to eat her cooking, so you don't need to prepare this meal. You can go and rest assured. There will be no serious consequences."
Sister-in-law?
That woman is the sister-in-law of the Imperial Master?
The Imperial Master also calls General Xiao "Big Brother", so that woman is General Xiao's wife?
But isn’t General Xiao’s legally married wife Su Miaomiao, the daughter of the former Minister of Rites?
Su Miaomiao doesn’t look like this in my memory.
Could it be that he remarried during his exile in Ningguta?
Although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask too much.
But fortunately, the matter they cared about had a result, as long as the master was not angry with them.
After thanking Zhang Xing, they said goodbye to him.
Zhang Xing returned to the house and said with a smile.
"They thought too much, thinking that they were kicked out because they had upset Big Brother. They also thought you were being sarcastic when you told them to go and rest, so they all stood in the yard and didn't dare to leave."
After hearing this, Xiao Yunfei was speechless.
I'm really impressed. Is he that scary?
He felt that he had been very good and kind to his subordinates. He didn't say anything or blame them even though the food they cooked was so bad. Why were they still walking on thin ice?
He looked at Su Miaomiao and Zhang Xing and asked sincerely.
"Do I look scary?"
Su Miaomiao shook her head and said seriously.
"It's not scary. You're incredibly handsome. You're exactly what I like. I love you so much."
"I love you too, baby~"
The visitor suddenly became oblivious to the surroundings.
Zhang Xing slapped his thigh in anger.
"Hey, can you two please be nice? Can you please consider that I'm still here!"
Xiao Yunfei and the others were acting so cheesy on purpose just to tease Zhang Xing. Seeing that they had achieved their goal, they smiled at each other, their eyes full of pride.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Su Miaomiao waved her hand and decided to let Zhang Xing go, then she said seriously.
"To be honest, I think you're a little scary when you're not smiling. You have this deadly aura about you, as if you've crawled out of a pile of corpses. People don't dare approach you. You're intimidating without even getting angry."
After listening to Su Miaomiao, Xiao Yunfei looked at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing stroked his chin and analyzed.
"Since ancient times, serving a king is like serving a tiger. It's normal for them to be afraid of you. After all, you can take their lives at any moment. Who wouldn't be afraid? Don't you agree?"
He threw the question out again, looking for recognition.
Su Miaomiao and Xiao Yunfei nodded in agreement.
Then Xiao Yunfei shook his head and said.
