Chapter 109 The Cook Is Fierce

The secret book was sent by Fang Ke himself.

"this……"

Yang Ge looked at the large and small bags on Fang Ke's body that were about to engulf him. He hesitated, but still took the initiative to take the baggage from him: "You didn't bring anything you shouldn't have, did you?"

Fang Ke smiled and said: "I would like to take it, but I'm afraid you'll kick me out and won't even let me have a bite of the food!"

Fang Ke knew that Yang Ge was talking about silver.

Yang Ge breathed a sigh of relief and said that he didn't want to make Fang Ke look bad because he was celebrating the New Year: "Then what do you have in your bags?"

Fang Ke: "These are the New Year's gifts given to you by the palace. These are the New Year's goods prepared by Lord Shen for you. These are my New Year's gifts for you... Oh yes, this is brought to you by General Jiang Kui. thing!"

Yang Ge: "How did you get so many things by yourself?"

Fang Ke: "Lao Gu sent me to the corner of the street, but I didn't let him in."

Yang Ge: "You, you..."

The two placed the large and small bags on the stone table under the grape trellis, and Fang Ke quickly divided the large and small bags into four parts.

The things coming out of the palace are the most expensive, and even the packaging is made of fine brocade and sandalwood. You can tell at a glance that they are definitely not cheap.

Shen Fa sent the most things, including food, clothing, and clothes, as if he was afraid that Yang Ge would not be able to buy good things at Luting.

The things Fang Ke prepared himself were the simplest. They were all ordinary bacon for the New Year, and even a few strings of sausages...

And Jiang Kui sent the least thing, only a wooden box sealed with fire paint...

Yang Ge frowned and glanced at the sandalwood boxes wrapped in fine silk: "I am a cook, what year will the emperor reward me for?"

Fang Ke chuckled and said: "In this world, I guess you are the only one who regards yourself as a cook!"

Yang Ge didn't answer his words, picked up the bacon he sent and walked to the kitchen house, smiling: "You still know me best!"

Fang Ke helped pick up the sausage and followed him: "Then I have to order some food today!"

Yang Ge: "No problem, just say whatever you want!"

The two held hands and hung the bacon and sausages on the stove, so that the smoke coming out of the stove could just smoke the bacon and sausages.

When it was over, the two of them wiped their hands and came out of the kitchen room.

Yang Ge: "Have you been very busy in Wei recently? How come Mr. Shen still has time to prepare New Year's goods for me?"

Fang Ke: "If you are not idle, you have to look at people. What kind of friendship do you have with Mr. Shen? Even if he forgets about me going to the right office, he will never forget about you!"

Yang Ge: "You kid..."

The two returned to the grape trellis. Yang Ge picked up the wooden box sent by Jiang Kui, carefully checked whether the paint was intact, and then opened it in front of Fang Ke.

There was a letter and a brand-new thread-bound book lying inside. On the cover of the book were neatly written the five characters "Five Elements Return to Vitality".

Fang Ke stretched out his head to take a look, then retracted his head: "How can I say that good people are rewarded? No matter how the court evaluates your merits, people who understand will always have a steelyard in their hearts!"

Yang Ge closed the wooden box, frowned and turned around and said, "You're a bit secretive today, why don't you point me?"

Fang Ke shook his head quickly: "How dare you in this humble position..."

Yang Ge: "Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year should talk when they have something to say and fart when they have something to say. If you miss this village, you won't have this store!"

Fang Ke hesitated for a few seconds and said seriously: "Wei Li is guessing that something big is going to happen. The day of your recovery is probably right around the corner..."

Yang Ge took a look at the few things that came out of the palace, and he was convinced by this guy's hard work.

He shook his head and said: "Then if I say that even if the imperial edict comes this time, I will not accept the move again, would you believe it?"

Fang Ke nodded: "I believe it, but if I say that the brothers are looking forward to you coming back to take charge of the family, would you believe it?"

Yang Ge opened a box of snacks sent by Shen Fa and handed a piece to Fang Ke: "I definitely don't believe it. If you don't talk about others, just you. You can tell your own conscience whether it is easier to work for me or not. Is it easy to work under Deputy Qin Qianhu and the others?"

Fang Ke took the snack with both hands and replied in a deep voice: "To be honest, I originally thought that it would be easier to work under Deputy Qin Qianhu and the others."

"But as the days go by, I feel boring, so boring! I can't do anything serious. If I do anything, I have to look at this face or that face. The knife hasn't even been drawn out, and someone is there. The people next to me were chattering and making irresponsible remarks..."

"When a man goes out on an errand, whose mother's face do you want to see?"

"It depends on everyone's face, so just ask for sex!"

"Go home and raise pigs!"

Yang Ge shook his head and patted his shoulder gently: "You can't think like that. The way we used to do it is only suitable for cutting through the mess quickly. If you really want to last long, you still have to follow the rules."

Fang Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Didn't you say that before?"

Yang Ge picked up the box and walked into the back room: "One moment and another, I'm just a cook now, so of course I have to say what a cook should say!"

Fang Ke just laughed.

He knows Yang Ge very well. If Yang Ge can speak so calmly, it's just because bad people and bad things haven't come close to him!

If the three major grain merchants were really trying to cause trouble for him by driving up grain prices, he would definitely do a better job than before!

At that time, he killed someone and became seriously ill...

Yang Ge, who had put away the secret book, came out wearing an apron and said boldly and loudly: "Tell me, what do you want to eat today? We have chicken, duck, fish and meat at home!"

Fang Ke rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Well... I want to eat glutinous rice dumplings. I had a bite at your place last year and I remembered it for a whole year!"

Yang Ge also gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, you have good taste, I appreciate you!"

At the right time, a woman shouted with a smile from the other side of the courtyard wall: "Brother Yang, I want to eat glutinous rice dumplings too!"

Yang Ge responded loudly with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll call you when you get used to it!"

When Fang Ke heard the sound, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

He rolled up his sleeves and followed Yang Ge into the kitchen: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Yang Ge pointed to the clay pot in the corner: "There is glutinous rice over there. Wash five bowls of glutinous rice and soak it in... Don't pour out the rice water. Leave me to wash the bacon."

Fang Ke responded, and with a familiarity, he took out a clean ocean bowl, squatted in front of the clay pot, scooped out rice, and asked casually, "How are you and the lady next door doing?"

Yang Ge, who was sitting behind the stove and lighting the fire, heard this and replied without raising his head: "You have already recognized the family next door, right?"

Fang Ke paused in his movements, gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes!"

Yang Ge: "Why did you refuse to tell me when I asked you before, but now you want to say it again?"

Fang Ke: "At that time, our men had small arms and legs, so we couldn't afford to get involved in such big things."

Yang Ge finally raised his head and looked at him: "Who is that family next door?"

Fang Ke looked at him: "Thank you family."

Yang Ge: "Which Xie family?"

Fang Ke: "The Xie family we brought down."

Yang Ge: "The Xie family who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country?"

Fang Ke: "That's the Xie family."

Yang Ge frowned and had several thoughts in his mind, and then his brows relaxed again.

He picked a few sticks of firewood and stuffed them into the stove, simmering the flames: "What do you think?"

He remembered that the Xie family's case was handled by Shen Fa, and Shen Fa was promoted to the town governor of Beizhen Prefecture based on that case.

In this case, it must have been arranged by Shen Fa for the family next door to live next door to his house.

In addition, Emperor Xiping had almost found out the color of his underwear earlier, so it was impossible not to know that the Xie family lived next door to his house.

Since that family is still alive, it means that Emperor Xiping acquiesced in their survival...

Fang Ke understood what Yang Ge was asking, but he didn't answer.

It wasn't until he had soaked the glutinous rice that he replied: "I am of a low status and may not see things clearly enough, but based on my understanding of Mr. Shen, if the family next door has ever been involved in 'raising bandits for self-respect', they will I can’t survive!”

Yang Ge didn't believe it: "How can a family not know anything about it?"

Fang Ke patiently explained to him: "You don't know something. A wealthy family like the Xie family, which has been rich for hundreds of years, has an orderly structure of seniority and youth, with clearly defined main branches. Each branch and each house has its own unique character. When it comes to stall matters, some people become officials in the court, some go overseas to do business, and some teach and educate people and manage fields, all of them are independent and unrelated to each other... There may only be five or six people who are really in charge."

"Besides, who would be stupid enough to shout about "raising bandits with self-respect"? When we investigated this matter, we tracked it inside and outside the customs for more than half a year before we finally found the Xie family."

Yang Ge: "Isn't it right? I remember when I first investigated the Xie family, they were already selling firearms. Isn't this easy to investigate?"

Fang Ke: "You might as well think carefully about where we checked the Xie family merchant ship."

Yang Ge: "Isn't it on the Bian River... No, when we found out, the Xie family's merchant ship was going south along the river."

The Tatars were in the north, while the Xie family's merchant ships were heading south.

Fang Ke: "The Xie family sold those firearms to Jiangnan. At that time, we misled the Tatar Xi Zuo and made him know that our people were checking at the water and land checkpoints from the capital to the north, just to force him to contact the North Korean government. Those who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country... Even Mr. Shen did not expect that the Xie family would be involved!"

He was originally Shen Fa's personal messenger. He was involved in almost the entire process of Xie Jia Yang's self-esteem, so he naturally knew more.

Yang Ge thought for a moment, then shook his head with a headache and said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it, just don't get involved!"

Fang Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you think so, that would be the best!"

Yang Ge looked at him sideways: "Since you don't want me to get involved in that mess, why are you still helping them speak?"

Fang Ke smiled and said: "Then I don't know what you think? What if you really fall in love with Miss Xie's bastard? If I say this, you will feel better, right?"

"Are you going to scold me again?"

Yang Ge laughed and scolded: "You are the turtle bastard!"

Fang Ke quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, I am a bastard!"

Yang Ge was too lazy to pay attention to him, and quickly mixed the minced meat, tofu residue, glutinous rice, and five-spice powder together. After finishing his work, he said: "What do you think Mr. Shen of your family thinks? Why did you arrange them?" Come next door to my house? Aren't you afraid that I will follow them and betray the country?"

Fang Ke hesitated for a long time before replying: "I have thought about this in private before. Master Shen might have thought that you were too... too lazy, and wanted to find something for you to do!"

Yang Ge was stunned, suddenly figured out something, smashed the balled glutinous rice balls in his hand into the basin, and yelled: "The thief bullied me too much!"

He suddenly realized that Shen Fan really wanted to force him and the Miss Xie family next door to use the sins and guilt of the Xie family to tie him up and make him work as an ox or a horse for Da Wei!

"What a gentleman to bully someone!"

Yang Ge was so angry that he wished he could ride to Beijing right now, push that guy to the ground and beat him up: "It's a shame I still treat you as a friend! Damn you!"

What does it mean to play tactics with a dirty heart?

This is!

Fang Ke sat behind the stove, curled up like a quail, burying his head, thinking silently: 'You can't see me, you can't see me...'

Yang Ge did not let him go: "Do you know when your Master Shen will come to Luting?"

Fang Ke's body trembled, and he replied without thinking: "I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me!"

"Remember this grudge!"

Yang Ge muttered angrily, and quickly put the rolled glutinous rice balls on the steamer: "There will be a reward later!"

Fang Ke whispered cautiously: "Then don't say it's me who talks too much. Mr. Shen can't do anything to you. You can just reach out to train me!"

Yang Ge said disdainfully: "Look at your little potential!"

He put the bacon into the boiling pot and stacked the steamer basket on the water.

He clapped his hands: "It's all done, just wait and eat. Come on, come out with me and have a couple of moves with me!"

Fang Ke's face turned bitter, and he hesitated to get up: "Forget it...forget it, with these two tricks of mine, you can beat me with one hand!"

Looking at his timid appearance, Yang Ge felt that bullying him was really pointless.

He wandered around the kitchen room twice and said in annoyance: "Ah, no, I will go to Beijing tomorrow to attack that guy... I treat you as a brother, and you are playing tricks on me?"

Fang Ke was a little panicked: "Seeing as Mr. Shen is so busy that he didn't forget to prepare New Year's goods for you, why don't you let him go? He is also the governor after all, and he wants to save face..."

He knew how good Yang Ge was in martial arts, and he also knew how good Shen Fa was in martial arts.

If Yang Ge was really determined to go to Beijing and beat Shen Fa violently, it would definitely not be any more troublesome than beating him up...

"No, I can't swallow this breath!"

The more Yang Ge thought about it, the angrier he became. Maybe he had already felt that something was wrong with the family next door, and maybe he had actually been tricked by that guy.

Miss Xie's appearance in a small place like Luting County is really a dimensionality reduction blow!

"I will enter Beijing tomorrow, please keep your mouth shut!"

He stared at Fang Ke fiercely and said, "If I can't find anyone else when I go, I will deal with you when I come back!"

Fang Ke was not a little panicked this time, but really panicked: "Don't, it's okay if you don't let me know. I know it but don't report it to Master Shen. If he knows it, he won't be punished to death." I?"

"For my sake, please spare Mr. Shen for now. Later, you can choose a day to beat him. I promise not to talk too much!"

Yang Ge slapped the chopping board: "If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, how will he know that you told me this? Keep your mouth shut. He will take this beating. I said so, Emperor." We can’t even protect him!”

Fang Ke stared at his slanderous appearance in stunned silence, feeling pitiful, weak, and helpless...

Removal?

Is this the return of the tiger?

He said he was going to beat up the governor without any delay!

I've searched all over the world, but I can't find such a fierce cook as you!

I'll take a rest and write the second chapter~
