"The posture of holding the pen must be accurate and not swaying randomly."
"Don't hold it too tightly, otherwise it will make the writing crooked."
"Be decisive when writing. Don't hesitate. Why are you painting earthworms here?"
"Yes! The writing is so-so."
...
Ye Qingyun is teaching Li Yuanxiu to write.
Li Yuanxiu didn't know what happened to him.
After being taught by Ye Qingyun, he felt that all the words he had written over the years were in vain.
Although I don't understand why Ye Qingyun wants him to practice calligraphy.
But Ye Qingyun is his master after all.
The things he asked himself to do must have deep meaning.
I practiced for most of the day.
Until noon, Li Yuanxiu felt uncomfortable in his wrist.
Sore and sore.
But his handwriting has indeed improved.
It's much better than what I wrote at the beginning.
"Well, let's take a rest first."
Ye Qingyun said.
Li Yuanxiu insisted on finishing the last two words on his hand, and then put down his pen.
The whole person let out a sigh of relief.
So tired!
I feel even more tired than when I practice martial arts.
But looking at his increasingly beautiful handwriting, Li Yuanxiu felt that this hard work was really not worth mentioning.
"Prince, Your Majesty, lunch is ready."
The servants came to report.
"Master, let's have a meal together."
Li Yuanxiu said.
Ye Qingyun shook his head.
Li Yuanxiu was startled.
"Master, are you leaving? Let's have dinner before leaving."
Ye Qingyun said: "Your Highness, to be honest, I am not used to the food in the house."
Li Yuanxiu scratched his head.
"What do you want to eat, master? I'll ask the cook to cook it specially for you."
Ye Qingyun smiled and said: "Master is in a good mood today. I will cook myself and make you a delicious meal."
Li Yuanxiu was shocked.
Does your own chef want to cook in person?
Is this good enough?
If his father knew that his master didn't even have food to eat at his place and wanted to do it himself, I'm afraid he would immediately rush over and break his legs.
"Master, please forgive me, I was too slow to treat you!"
Li Yuanxiu knelt down directly to Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun quickly helped Li Yuanxiu up.
"Don't think too much, I just can't get used to the food here, and I don't have any hobbies, but I do like cooking."
Li Yuanxiu looked at Ye Qingyun blankly.
Like to cook?
This is really strange.
Li Yuanxiu knew that many outsiders had special hobbies.
But this was the first time he had heard of someone who liked to cook.
"Master, do you really want to cook?"
Li Yuanxiu asked in a daze.
"Yes, don't you want to try my craftsmanship, master?"
Ye Qingyun said with some dissatisfaction on purpose.
Li Yuanxiu shook his head repeatedly: "Of course I want to taste the master's cooking. I just let the master cook it himself. If my father knows about this, I'm afraid..."
Ye Qingyun saw it.
This kid is afraid of being scolded by Li Tianmin.
"It's okay. If your father scolds you, I will intercede for you."
"This...that's okay."
Li Yuanxiu could only nod helplessly.
Afterwards, Ye Qingyun followed the servants to the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion.
The kitchen is quite big.
But there are very few cooks.
There are only three people.
One is in charge of the stove.
One is responsible for preparing food.
There is another one who is a helper and does everything.
When Li Yuancheng was still the prince, there were more than a dozen cooks in this kitchen.
It can be said that there are famous chefs from all over the Tang Dynasty.
After Li Yuanxiu arrived, most of the cooks were sent away.
There are only three left.
Seeing the prince and the tutor coming in person, the three cooks were so frightened that their expressions changed, and they all knelt on the ground.
They thought that today's lunch was not cooked well, which made the prince and the tutor angry.
For a moment, everyone felt uneasy.
terrified.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Li Yuanxiu said.
The three cooks stood up shivering.
One of the fat cooks bravely asked: "Your Highness, is today's lunch not to your liking?"
"Your Highness, just give me your orders. Whatever you want to eat, I will do it for you!"
Li Yuanxiu smiled.
"No, please rest while the master is cooking today."
What?
The three cooks were immediately dumbfounded.
Master Taifu wants to cook in person?
What does it mean?
Could it be that the dishes cooked today made Master Taifu so angry?
So angry that you want to go straight to the kitchen?
The three cooks were so frightened that they knelt on the ground again.
"Excuse me, Master! Forgive me, Master!"
"The little people know that their craftsmanship is limited and they make the master feel unsatisfied. You deserve to die!"
"Please give me another chance, Taifu. I will make sure that Taifu will be satisfied with the meal!"
For a cook, especially a cook who cooks for dignitaries, the biggest failure is to cook for the master himself.
This means that the dishes cooked by you, the cook, are beyond the tolerance of the host family.
So they were very scared.
He was afraid that Ye Qingyun would drag the three of them out in anger and behead them.
Looking at the three trembling cooks, Ye Qingyun was speechless for a while.
Don’t I just want to cook for myself?
As for being so scared?
Ye Qingyun was a little helpless.
"You all, please get up. I just wanted to make something to eat on a whim. It has nothing to do with you."
Ye Qingyun said this.
The three cooks raised their heads cautiously and looked at Ye Qingyun with some confusion.
Does this big man also want to cook on a whim?
This is really strange.
"Get up, Master, I really don't have any intention of blaming you."
Li Yuanxiu also said something.
After hearing this, the three cooks stood up tremblingly, feeling completely relieved.
Ye Qingyun looked at the things in the kitchen.
It's really pitiful.
A piece of fat and thin pork belly with skin.
A pile of potatoes.
There are also some green vegetables.
There are all kinds of things like onions, ginger, and garlic.
Other than that, there's nothing else.
If the original prince were here, this place must be filled with all kinds of delicacies.
There are even exotic animals.
When he saw the pork belly, Ye Qingyun knew what he was going to do.
Classic dish braised pork!
There happens to be some potatoes left, which can be paired with it.
Get some garlic and green vegetables.
Beautiful.
Just do it.
There just happen to be three guys to help, which can save a lot of time.
"You, come here and help me cut the meat."
"You, peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces."
"And you, help me wash the vegetables and cut them."
The three cooks were stunned for a moment.
For a moment, he didn't dare to move.
"The master is calling you to do something, why don't you go quickly?"
Li Yuanxiu urged.
The three cooks hurried over and started busy following Ye Qingyun's instructions.
Ye Qingyun was not idle either.
He is frying candy.
Wait until the pork belly is cut.
"Bleach the water."
Ye Qingyun said casually.
"What?"
The cook who was cutting the meat looked confused.
