Carefully lifted the lid of the casserole, Yan Haoling took a look.Although he was quite confident, the subtleties of his movements still revealed a certain uneasiness.

The porridge stewed in the pot was thick and white, and it didn't show any strange appearance.It's just that Yan Haoling, who is cooking for the first time, is really not sure if this is enough.

"Li Cheng, come here and see what's going on." Shouted to the cook who was still stupefied, and then introduced to Lie Yi, "Li Cheng is the chief cook of the Yuxi Army, and he will start teaching today. I cook and cook, and I can be regarded as my master."

Even if Lie Yi has heard it, it can be seen from his self-proclaimed that he used "I" instead of the high-ranking "Zhen". He was just joking.There is nothing worth caring about, except that I can't figure out how this person could cook on a whim today.

Li Cheng, who was walking this way, suddenly heard the word "Master" in his ears, staggered and almost fell.He has never read any books, and he doesn't understand any major principles, but one thing is clear, the emperor's master, isn't that the emperor's teacher?Where did he get this ability?

"Emperor... Your Majesty..." He called out pitifully, at this moment Li Cheng was really envious of the cooks outside, why was he the only one left behind?

Yan Haoling waved impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, come and take a look." He didn't want all the hard work of the morning to be in vain. "What should be the next step?"

Li Cheng glanced at it, and hurriedly removed the casserole from the stove.Because I forgot to put a cloth towel on it, I was severely burned.Not daring to complain, he pointed to the stove, "Your Majesty, you can add some chopped green onion."

Even for those who never cook, it is clear what chopped green onions look like.Yan Haoling chose a section of green onion, put it on the chopping board and began to cut it.

The sound of cutting vegetables neatly and melodiously came out, Lie Yi raised his eyebrows, and said the first sentence after coming in, "The knife skills are good."

"Of course." No humility at all.It was just a faint compliment, because it came from him, it made Yan Haoling forget everything.

The porridge was served in a white porcelain bowl, sprinkled with a little blue green onion, and one could not help but twitch their index fingers just by looking at it.Finally, Yan Haoling put the spoon on the table and held it in front of Lie Yi. "Taste."

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth, Lie Yi savors it carefully.

Yan Haoling was a little nervous, watching his every movement and expression carefully, for fear of missing any details.However, Lie Yi just didn't give a comment, as if he was doing something bad on purpose.I couldn't help it anymore, "Don't just focus on eating, how does it taste?"

"Why, you didn't taste it yourself beforehand?"

Yan Haoling said in a somewhat hesitant voice, "Didn't I want you to taste the first bite?"

"Aren't you worried that it's so bad that people can't swallow it?" Lie Yi shook his head helplessly, and put the spoon he had already used into his hand.Using a container with this person seems to have become a habit that cannot be changed.For this reason, Lie Yi himself felt incredible.

However, it never felt weird.

Is it really that bad?Yan Haoling quickly took a sip.Fortunately, although it is not delicious, it still tastes normal.With a sigh of relief, when he raised his head, he met Lie Yi's narrow eyes, and only then did he know that he had been teased.However, he enjoyed it.

"Why do you think of cooking yourself? You even made fish porridge?" I didn't pay attention to it before, thinking it was just plain porridge, but after I tasted it, I realized the freshness and sweetness of the fish fillets.

"Isn't it your fault?" After taking the first bite just now, Yan Haoling realized that she was also hungry.After a busy morning, he also didn't eat a grain of rice.He simply put the porridge bowl between the two of them, added a spoon, and ate together.

"You are not allowed to prepare the same meal as yesterday, there is no other way, I can only do it myself." Pity him, the majestic emperor, who has to serve the imperial meal, but has to wash his hands and make the soup himself. "Those imperial chefs, because you don't like them, I have sent them all back to the palace."

The movements of Lie Yi's hands visibly froze. "It's not that I don't like it..." Of course, I can't say that I like it.When it comes to food, Lie Yi has never had a particular preference, for him, it is enough to eat.He did not want to accept Yan Haoling's special meal arrangement because of other reasons, which he clearly knew.

"Yi, are you okay now?" Yan Haoling pointed to the half bowl of fish porridge left, and asked seriously.

"I made the things myself, and the sea fish I used was also caught by myself. I even paid for the firewood I used for the fire before." Speaking of this, Yan Haoling smiled slightly, and moved closer to Lie Yi's ear, "It's my private money."

"Now, you don't have to feel uncomfortable anymore?" He didn't use any power, he just wanted to treat him well and try his best.

In an instant, too many emotions slid across Lie Yi's face.Some, Yan Haoling can understand; and some, he can't understand.I just feel that he is so sad, very much like the loneliness that night lovesick upstairs, and the song ends quietly.

There was a slight prick in the heart. It didn't hurt very much, but it was also a feeling that couldn't be ignored.Yan Haoling shook her head, deciding to ignore some inexplicable sadness. "Anyway, I won't let you eat military camp food. White rice is Chinese cabbage, just let the soldiers eat it. Why are you going to join in the fun?"

"In the future, I will cook a small stove for you myself."

Li Cheng, the head cook who was neither leaving nor staying, suddenly heard these words, and his face, which had returned to normal a little, became extremely depressed. ——Well, Your Majesty, what's wrong with white rice and Chinese cabbage?I can't eat it even after a war.

Lie Yi finally smiled slightly, "Hao Ling, should we take our leave? Stay here, the chef and the others can't work, the whole army hasn't had breakfast yet."

Li Cheng looked at Lie Yi almost gratefully, finally someone remembered this.There are strict regulations on the work and rest in the army, and even if Li Cheng had ten courages, he would not dare to miss the time for breakfast.But the emperor stays here, how dare they work?And I can't remind, it's really a dilemma.

Finally, the emperor was sent away respectfully.Li Cheng hurriedly directed all the cooks to start preparing meals, and after a while of scrambling, the meal was finally served within the time limit.

It's a pity that the things made in anxiety are not satisfactory.The cabbage was not cooked, and the white rice was a little raw.Compared with the bowl of fish porridge carefully cooked by Yan Haoling, the difference is more than one level worse.

The reason for this mistake was more or less heard by the people, but no one dared to comment on the emperor's actions.As a result, all the soldiers of the Yuxi Army, who had a meal that tasted like chewing wax, vented their anger on the cooks.Even for a long time, after seeing the soldiers from a distance, the cooks of the Yuxi Army immediately took a detour, for fear of encountering bad luck.
