Uncle Qian's face, which is not old now, does not show any nostalgia for the past.
Then she continued, "I was sold into the imperial kitchen by my stepmother for three taels of silver. My father didn't stop me, and I didn't cry or make a fuss. I just considered it as repayment for the kindness of raising me."
"Life in the Imperial Kitchen was tough. To learn skills, you first had to learn to endure scolding and beatings. I grew up like that through beatings."
Qian San just passed over the suffering he had endured in this way.
"Luckily, I had a decent talent and managed to rise to a position of moderate rank. When my half-brother found out, he immediately sent me a letter asking me to support him for our father's sake."
"I can go to hell with that. For my father's sake, what noodles? Are you selling me noodles?"
"It's already magnanimous of me not to retaliate against them, yet they still expect me to help them." Qian San spat fiercely.
When I looked up, I saw the girls' eyes were filled with tears.
Qian San couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why are you crying? Don't you see what a good life I'm living now?"
He shook off his clothes and said to the crowd, "This is made of brocade. In my original world, people like me cannot wear brocade."
"When I get old, the government will support me, and I'll receive a monthly pension and medical insurance. Where else can I find such a good life? So, young ladies, don't cry! The life I have now is something I never could have imagined before."
"I wouldn't trade it even if I were an emperor. An emperor wouldn't live as comfortably as I do."
At this point, Qian San blinked his eyes and said mysteriously to everyone: "Let me tell you, I am the imperial chef left behind by the previous dynasty. There was an emperor in the previous dynasty who had a stroke in his old age and was placed under house arrest by his son."
"He only gave me one meal a day, and no one was assigned to take care of my excrement and urine. I heard that when he died, half of his body was rotten, and the whole palace was stinking. It's unbelievable that this emperor could be so miserable. That's why I said I don't want to go back."
Qian San's words made everyone burst into laughter.
"Uncle Qian, if there really is an emperor who acts like that, what about the empress and concubines? Even if the harem unites, don't we still have the court officials and royal family members? No one is willing to take care of it."
Qian San sighed, "The previous dynasty deserved to perish. That emperor was moody. He had only been on the throne for a few years, and he had changed empresses five or six times. Throughout history, no emperor could change empresses like that."
"Even the Empress can be replaced, not to mention the concubines. Anyway, from top to bottom, from the harem to the court, there is no one who doesn't hope for the Emperor's death."
"Or perhaps the emperor's death was tacitly acknowledged by everyone. Perhaps the emperor's stroke was caused by these people."
"Talent!"
Zhao Siqi couldn't help but sigh. As the emperor, everyone wished him dead. If he wasn't a talented person, then what was he?
Tang Qingxi rolled his eyes and said to Qian San, "Uncle Qian, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back. But even if you don't go back, you still have to return the money."
Qian San frowned and said, "I'm not going back, so why should I go back with my money? I don't want to give money to them."
"Hey! You don't understand this. Are your biological father and stepmother still together?"
"㱗," Qian San sneered.
"I'm in my forties, and these two are only sixty. They're both alive and well. Your Majesty fought the previous dynasty for so long, and yet the entire family is still together, not a single person missing."
"When they found out that my father Chao was cooking for the immortal, they immediately contacted me and asked me to ask the immortal to help my brothers at home as well."
