Chapter 42: Can the Emperor Reward the Cook?



The imperial meal has a characteristic: it is small and exquisite.

The small plate of sweet and sour pork ribs was not enough to satisfy Wen Han's appetite.

If Wen Han hadn't been concerned about the people around him, he would probably have directly touched the plate of delicious food.

Wen Xia felt a little guilty as she pulled out the handkerchief from her waist and covered her face.

This master...

It seems a bit embarrassing!

Wen Han was unaware of anything and just stared at the food on the table and asked Xiao Zhang curiously.

"How did the chefs in the Emperor's palace make the mutton so delicious?"

Xiao Zhang: "...This is pork."

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in shock. Xiao Zhang's eyes dimmed a little. Could it be that she, like everyone else, had a preconceived notion that pork was really eaten by other people?

Not worthy of her status?

Wen Han stood up and looked at Wen Xia with some disappointment.

"Xia Xia, you said pork isn't tasty at all! I haven't even eaten pork yet. Pork is so delicious. How many delicacies have I missed out on over the years?"

Just thinking about it made Wen Han feel heartbroken.

Wen Han glared angrily, but he did not deliberately release his aura, and looked fierce and aggressive.

Xiao Zhang looked at Wen Han with great interest, and what made him even more touched was that he had actually become sentimental!

Isn't this something only girls have?

Xiao Zhang began to feel a little confused.

Wen Han next to him still seemed reluctant to give up the sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Your Majesty, how can these ribs be so delicious?"

"First, marinate the pork chops, then deep-fry them to lock in the flavor. After scooping them out, make a sweet and sour sauce and coat the chops evenly. This is the appetizing sweet and sour pork chops that is suitable for all ages."

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang who was talking eloquently, as if he was radiating light.

Listening to Wen Han's description, I seemed to have a picture in mind.

I even couldn't help wanting to make it myself.

Xiao Zhang picked up the braised pork with preserved vegetables on the side, and his eyes were full of confidence.

Wen Han looked at the meat that trembled when he picked it up but could not be picked up at all, and felt quite curious.

The red sauce of braised pork with preserved vegetables looked very appetizing. Wen Han could not help eating it bite by bite and could not stop at all!

After Wen Han finished eating, he looked at the disabled Feng Juan on the table. The sense of shame that had been disappearing for a long time finally surged into his heart at this moment.

He lowered his head silently and no longer looked at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang smiled. The feeling of raising a pet is really great! !

Wen Xia, who was standing aside, wished she could crawl into the cave right now.

This isn't her master, her master must be possessed by someone else!!

Wen Han smiled awkwardly and looked at Xiao Zhang beside him, "I haven't eaten since yesterday, so I'm a little hungry."

Wen Xia really couldn't help it this time!

Master, when you lie, can you please look at the traces of food on your table?

Wen Han's brain was probably working a little slowly because he was full.

Looking at the mess on the table, his smile was very stiff.

The master is right. As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Wen Han quickly waved to Wen Xia to take everything away!

The best solution is to destroy the body!

Xiao Zhang smiled as he looked at Wen Han in front of him. How could she be so cute?!

Wen Han turned his head stiffly, but Xiao Zhang was still smiling happily. Anyone could see that old Xiao Zhang was in a good mood.

Wen Han stiffly changed the subject, "What brings the Emperor here today?"

You can't be here to watch her eat, right? Or to watch her embarrass herself, right?

Xiao Zhang smiled, did not answer, and took out a play script from his loose clothes.

Wen Han's eyes lit up as he looked at the script in front of him.

It’s still the overbearing factory manager who falls in love with me.

Wen Han was overjoyed and prepared to start looking at it in front of the emperor.

But...the difference from last time is that Xiao Zhang stole Wen Han's script.

Xiao Zhang still remembers clearly the last time he gave Wen Han the script and ignored him.

Wen Han looked at his empty hands and touched his nose, as if he had been discovered.

Xiao Zhang looked at Wen Han and said, "This is a treasure with the author's seal!"

Wen Han's feeling of loss from having his book stolen just now disappeared instantly, and he just looked at Xiao Zhang with bright eyes.

Xiao Zhang was a little uncomfortable with such a burning gaze, but he enjoyed it very much.

Just like the admiring look in Wen Han's eyes when he was talking about the recipe just now.

Xiao Zhang stared at Wen Han's burning gaze, but still handed the script to Wen Xia.

Wen Han moved to Wen Xia.

Wen Xia: “…”

Xiao Zhang: "Take this to your master's study."

Wen Xia nodded, "As you wish."

Then, he disappeared from the sight of Xiao Zhang and Wen Han.

Wen Han's resentful look was too strong.

Xiao Zhang coughed, then looked at Wen Han beside him, "My beloved, you have eaten all my lunch. Is it time for my... lunch?"

Wen Han covered his face with his hands. He had finally gotten out of the awkward atmosphere, but now he was back there again.

Just this one embarrassing thing made me lose all the face I had built up over the years.

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang with a desperate look, "What's the matter? It's because the emperor's chef made such delicious food! I couldn't help it!"

Xiao Zhang looked at Wen Han in astonishment, "I don't blame you either."

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang with a look of righteousness, "Yes! I know that Your Majesty doesn't blame me, but could Your Majesty please stop bringing up such an embarrassing matter?"

Xiao Zhang smiled brightly.

It seemed like he was mocking Wen Han's recent actions.

Xiao Zhang explained: "My beloved concubine, how can you be so cute?"

"I know that my royal chef is very skilled. No need to ask."

Wen Han nodded.

Then he looked at Xiao Zhang with some confusion.

Xiao Zhang: "Speak!"

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang in front of her with some reluctance. "First of all, if I say anything that offends Your Majesty, please don't blame me!"

Xiao Zhang crossed his legs out of curiosity. Wen Han had never seen him so embarrassed before.

Wen Han looked at Xiao Zhang, "Have you considered replacing the Emperor's chef? People say that the imperial chef needs capable people. Don't you need to replace the people in your Imperial Food Bureau? For example, every year, you can export the imperial chefs who have worked in the Imperial Food Bureau for many years to society."

There was a hint of smile in Xiao Zhang's eyes. Isn't this what his father used to say?

In the future, more than 1,000 people who have worked at Alibaba for more than ten years will be added to the society every year.

Every company has a different explanation, but Alibaba’s is the most plausible.

Xiao Zhang: "You know that working in the Shangshi Bureau is their lifelong goal. Are you asking me to fire them now?"

Wen Han curled her lips and looked at Xiao Zhang, "I didn't ask you to let them leave, but can you give them to me as a reward? I don't ask for much, I just need me to be able to eat these foods!"

"That's right, I'm still at the Shangshi Bureau, but when I want to eat, I can go..."

Wen Han smiled like a fox.
