Due to the strong learning atmosphere and the diligence and responsibility of Big Beard and others, the team led by Chu Beichen quickly stood out among the patrol team.
Before Chu Beichen and his team came, the team led by Shi Kun was the best among the patrol officers. Now Chu Beichen has come from behind and is showing signs of surpassing Shi Kun.
Shikun felt a little jealous, and he always spoke with hidden meanings.
When Chu Beichen saw that he was such a petty person, he reduced his contact with him and talked less and had less contact with him.
The more this happened, the more uncomfortable Shi Kun felt, because Chu Beichen and others were recruited into the patrol team by him.
One day, Chu Beichen and his team easily caught a pickpocket gang. The boss was very happy and gave Chu Beichen's team a reward of 200 dinars.
If the key is left in another team, the captain will pocket the bulk of the money and then give a symbolic amount of three or five cents to his brothers as a token of appreciation.
But who is Chu Beichen? Why would he care about such a small amount of money?
So as soon as the money came, Chu Beichen took Big Beard and others to the bar for a drink.
What Chu Beichen didn't expect was that Shi Kun also brought his team to spend time in that bar.
When Chu Beichen arrived, Shi Kun and his gang had already drunk quite a bit of wine and looked half drunk.
Seeing the bearded man from a distance, Shi Kun shouted, "You finally took off your animal skin vests. You must put that thing away properly, otherwise it will get bugs in the hot weather!"
This is a blatant mockery of Big Beard and the others who came from the cedar forest and still lived a relatively primitive life.
The bearded man suppressed his anger and said nothing. His short time as a patrol officer had made him realize that the interpersonal relationships in the South Bank were very complicated and that he couldn't handle problems as he did in the cedar forest, where he could just do whatever he wanted.
Chu Beichen, however, was a man who protected his own shortcomings. He glanced at Shi Kun coldly and said, "Shi Kun, please be polite. We are all brothers now!"
Shi Kun chuckled and stood up, "Brother, if we're brothers, would you still take the credit for our work?"
It turned out that the pickpocket gang that Chu Beichen and his team busted this time was the first task that Shi Kun and his team accepted. It was just that Shi Kun's men were lazy and had never kept an eye on this pickpocket gang.
Therefore, when the boss rewards people based on their merits, he will give all the rewards to Chu Beichen.
Hearing Shi Kun bring up this matter again, Chu Beichen smiled and said, "If you can't complete the task, can't you allow others to take the reward?"
"That's the truth. You're standing in the toilet without taking a shit, and you think you're right?"
"You're just jealous!"
Big Beard and the others had just been angered by Shi Kun's comments about the animal skin vest, and now they took the opportunity to refute him.
Shikun was angry. He hadn't received much money recently and was now being mocked by these country people who looked down on him. The flame of jealousy burned in his heart like a poisonous snake. He stood up and threw the cup in his hand to the ground.
"You guys really don't know what's good for you. Don't forget who brought you in in the first place!"
It is true that Shi Kun introduced the job in the first place, but he did not do so simply to help Big Beard and the others, but because the patrol was short of people. So from another perspective, it was actually Big Beard and the others who helped him.
So when they heard that Shi Kun was so shameless as to take all the credit for himself, Big Beard and the others sneered at him without hesitation.
Both sides were men with hot tempers. They became more and more angry as they talked. No one knew who started the fight first, but in the end they all ended up fighting.
When the bar owner saw that his bottles and glasses were broken into countless pieces, he was so distressed that he immediately ran to the street to call the police and found a group of policemen to arrest all these people.
Fortunately, the policeman who took them away saw that they were all his brothers, so he took them to a deserted place, talked to them for a few words and then let them go. However, from then on, Chu Beichen and Shi Kun became enemies.
Time passed quickly, and a month went by in a flash. After such a long period of adaptation, Big Beard and others had almost become half-South Bank people.
Finally, news came that King Poole had returned to the palace.
The day after King Pull returned to the palace, Su Nian waited for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man gave Su Nian fifty denarii and asked her to go to the palace to cook. "Perform well this time. If you're lucky, you might be able to enter the palace and become a royal chef!"
Su Nian had been waiting for this opportunity. When it came, she didn't show any joy on her face, but agreed calmly.
After returning home, Su Nian told Chu Beichen about the situation, and the latter told her to be careful.
Su Nian naturally nodded in agreement. She had made sufficient preparations for this meal and had already prepared her signature recipes and exquisite raw materials.
For this meal, Su Nian prepared braised tofu, grilled tofu, steamed meat with tofu, and tofu skin buns.
Although these dishes are made with tofu, the cooking methods are very complicated. Even if ordinary chefs watch them secretly, they cannot learn the essence of these dishes.
When the sample dish was ready this time, even the middle-aged man showed a look of surprise. He did not let Su Nian leave, but asked her to wait a while.
The middle-aged man ordered his men to go in and deliver the food, while he explained the situation to Su Nian, "Wait a moment. Perhaps the person eating there will want to see you later. If he asks if you want to work in the imperial kitchen, tell him that you want to stay!"
Su Nian glanced at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, "How do you know I want to stay? Is the work here demanding? How's the income? I don't know the situation yet!"
The middle-aged man blushed, patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, the treatment here will satisfy you, and the work is not hard!"
Su Nian didn't wait long before the guard inside came out and told her that King Pull wanted to see her.
Su Nian adjusted her apron and followed the guards towards the palace in the center.
This was her first time walking around in this courtyard. Su Nian discovered that the buildings here were all in old European style, from the sculptures and fountains in the garden to the decorations outside the palace, just like in Europe of the last century.
They soon arrived at the place. Someone had been waiting at the door. When he saw Su Nian coming, he led her directly into the hall.
Behind a gorgeous dining table in the back hall, Su Nian saw the owner of the palace, King Pool.
King Poole is an old man in his fifties with black eyes, black hair and deep facial features. Although he is old, he still looks very sharp.
After seeing Su Nian, King Puer smiled and held out his hand for Su Nian to come over. He pointed at the remaining dishes on the table and asked Su Nian, "Did you cook all these dishes?"
