When he was in Xiangyang, Yue Fei told Han Shizhong how popular the female generals of the Detachment of Women were. At first, Han Shizhong didn't believe it. He only thought that Yue Fei was trying to win over him, so he deliberately exaggerated the facts. But after he came to Luoyang and met Liang Hongyu, Han Shizhong knew that
How wrong I was.
The female generals of the Detachment of Women are not only popular, they are simply too popular!
After entering the city, people along the way took the initiative to say hello to Liang Hongyu one after another, and there were as many as three batches of generals who came to show their hospitality. Han Shizhong couldn't help but feel a little numb.
Han Shizhong asked himself that he was definitely not the kind of man who couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman. It can be seen that after seeing Liang Hongyu, he fell in love with her at first sight and decided in his heart that it was not Liang Hongyu who would love her in this life.
But Han Shizhong never expected that Liang Hongyu would be so popular, which made him doubt whether he could win the heart of a beautiful woman.
After all, those suitors of Liang Hongyu were all young talents, and none of them looked any worse than him. The general from the Qin family was even more advantageous than him, which made Han Shizhongxi feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
"No, I have to work hard to catch up."
Han Shizhong made up his mind not to go back to Jingbei now. When he saw Qin Hao this time, he would definitely find a job to stay in Luoyang. It would not be too late to return to Jingbei after he got a wife.
Yue Fei: My dear brother, who said, 'If your father's hatred is not avenged, how can you have a family?'
Han Shizhong: ...Brother-in-law, I think your words make more sense.
Haha, it smells so good!
Along the way, Liang Hongyu kept introducing Luoyang to Han Shizhong, and the relationship between the two was no longer as awkward as when they first met.
"General Liang is actually from Jingnan? So we are fellow villagers!"
Han Shizhong was immediately overjoyed. After chatting for a long time, he finally found something in common with the goddess.
A trace of recollection flashed in Liang Hongyu's eyes: "Back then, Hong Xiuquan's Northern Expedition to Jingzhou was so huge that the entire Jingzhou was panicked. My father took my family to flee north, and we escaped to Nanyang only after narrowly escaping death. However, all our family property was lost on the way.
There was no rice for cooking at home, and the whole family was about to starve to death. It happened that the Detachment of Women was expanding its recruitment, so in order not to cause trouble to my family, I joined the Detachment of Women, but I didn’t expect that I would be promoted to a general along the way.”
Liang Hongyu was not a talkative person, and because she and Han Shizhong were from the same hometown, she spoke so much to Han Shizhong out of emotion.
Seeing that Liang Hongyu even told him such 'secrets', Han Shizhong thought that Liang Hongyu had a slight affection for her, and he felt as if he had eaten honey.
The group's goal was the inner city, and just when they were about to enter the inner city, a man stopped Han Shizhong's team.
"General Liang Hongyu."
"Shopkeeper Tong? What are you doing here?"
The visitor was Tong Xiangyu, the manager of Tongfu Inn, and she said with an embarrassed look: "General Liang, I've come to ask you for help again."
Liang Hongyu couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, and then asked with a smile: "What can I help you with?"
"Be the referee."
Liang Hongyu probably understood that it was nothing more than helping to taste the delicious food. This was not the first time she had done this, but this time she had official duties.
"Shopkeeper Tong, I have someone else..."
Liang Hongyu was about to refuse, but Han Shizhong smiled and said: "It's interesting, can I also be the referee?"
"Who is this?" Tong Xiangyu asked.
"This is General Han Shizhong." Liang Hongyu introduced.
"It turns out to be the famous General Han. How disrespectful and disrespectful."
Tong Xiangyu didn't know who Han Shizhong was at all, but when she heard that he was a general, she knew that he must be a high official, at least with a much higher status than ordinary people like them. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, so of course they cannot offend him.
"It's natural for General Han to want to be a referee."
After getting Tong Xiangyu's approval, Han Shizhong looked at Liang Hongyu again, and Liang Hongyu could only nod in agreement, while Han Shizhong showed a victorious smile.
Today Han Shizhong would not be able to see Duke Qin even if he arrived in the inner city, and Liang Hongyu would leave after completing her duties, so he would have no chance to contact her.
Han Shizhong was unwilling to separate from Liang Hongyu so soon, but by becoming a referee he could continue to follow Liang Hongyu.
Liang Hongyu asked her subordinates to take the others to the inner city first, while she accompanied Han Shizhong to be the referee.
Martial arts schools have kicking gyms, and restaurants also have kicking gyms.
Playing in a martial arts gym is a competition of martial arts, while playing in a restaurant is naturally like cooking.
At first, Liang Hongyu thought it was an ordinary chef competition that only required her to taste the dishes, but she did not expect that there was a mystery hidden in this ordinary chef duel.
"What? The winner of this competition will have a cooking showdown with famous chefs from the Japanese mission in the palace?"
Liang Hongyu looked in disbelief. She had heard of literary and martial arts fights, but this was the first time in hundreds of years that a kitchen fight was placed in the palace.
"Japanese Mission?"
Han Shizhong looked puzzled, while Liang Hongyu explained: "Japan is an island country overseas. Not long ago, the Japanese delegation came to Luoyang for a pilgrimage. They said they admired our Han culture and wanted to follow my Han culture in various aspects such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Talented people have a cultural exchange."
"It turns out it's a small foreign country that doesn't know the power of God."
Han Shizhong looked disdainful, and then asked: "It's okay to compete in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but how can we compete in cooking?"
Han Shizhong didn't look down on cooks, but he also had to admit that cooks were really rare. How could the two countries communicate and compete in cooking skills? This seemed like child's play to Han Shizhong.
Liang Hongyu didn't know the reason, but Tong Xiangyu explained: "The Japanese people are tired and have nothing to offer, and cooking and food are a kind of culture in Japan, so they also use it to communicate together."
"That's it."
Liang Hongyu showed a look of astonishment, but then asked: "But in the competition between national chefs, Master Abe should be allowed to compete due to emotions and reasons. What does it have to do with your Tongfu Inn?"
If Xiang Yu is recognized as the best general in the world, then in the hearts of Liang Hongyu and most people, Master Abe, who was once the chef of Qin Gongfu and is now the manager of the imperial kitchen, known as Bei Fairy, is recognized as the best general in the world in this era.
The number one chef, naturally no one is more qualified than her to replace the big man in the battle.
"Logically speaking, it should be like this, but the key is that Master Abe is sick, and Qin Gong believes that Japan is a small country and there is no need to let the number one chef of the Han Dynasty go to war, so he ordered the selection of chefs among the people in Luoyang. This mission
So it fell on me, Tongfu Inn."
Hearing what Tong Xiangyu said, Han Shizhong couldn't help but look surprised. He already knew that the plaque of Tongfu Inn was inscribed by Qin Gong himself.
Even if Duke Qin personally nominated an inn, he was even assigned to handle such an important selection. What is the origin of this inn and its owner?
As soon as he thought about it, Tong Xiangyu's philistine behavior became more and more unpredictable in Han Shizhong's view.
