"Hey! So what if it's worth 100 strings of coins ~? "
Seeing Yan Shilu looking at him provocatively, the temper buried in Wang Ji's heart surged. He straightened his neck and said indignantly, "Who said this old man only knows how to write poems and drink wine ~? The best thing about me is that no matter what I learn, I'm faster than you, Yan Kong ~! "
Yan Shilu glared at him and said, "Heh! You're really a toad yawning. What big words ~! "
Wang Ji seemed to have recovered by now. He raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Haha ~! I'm telling the truth ~! Don't doubt me when you return Yan Kong ~! Let's talk about playing the zither first. I learned it for less than half a month and mastered it thoroughly. Can you do it ~? There's also bird training. I learned how to raise birds from others in my early years, and I mastered the knack of it in just a month. I even tamed two owls ~! Can you do it ~? Oh, right, and … "
"Stop ~!"
Yan Shilu, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot because of Wang Ji's repeated questions of "can you do it if you're in my place", hurriedly interrupted him. "Are you flaunting your idleness as capital ~? I only found out today that you, Wang Wugong, are so thick-skinned ~! "
Wang Ji wasn't annoyed by Yan Shilu's sarcasm. Instead, he smiled meaningfully and said, "What is a proper occupation ~? What is a side occupation ~? I, Wang Wugong, don't have a proper occupation to begin with. Or rather, everything is my proper occupation ~! The world is big, but life is short. Why don't I do what I want to do while I'm alive? Why do I have to work so hard ~? "
Li Zexuan's eyes flickered slightly. He thought to himself, This Wang Ji's personality is really open-minded ~!
Yan Shilu didn't buy it. He said directly, "Then why do you still go to Yanhuang College to teach ~? Aren't you afraid of being troubled by your work ~? "
Wang Ji seemed to be prepared for this question. He didn't even think about it and answered, "Haha ~! I'm going to the Yanhuang Academy because I'm interested, not because I'm working on a case! Speaking of which, the Yanhuang Academy that Xiao Xuan built was probably built to teach the Four Books and Five Classics, right? Right now, he is in need of a talented person like me who has an extraordinary learning ability! Do you think this old man is worth his monthly salary of five buckets of wine? "
Yan Shilu said with a straight face, "Nonsense! Don't tell me you think that with your talent in playing with chickens and dogs, you can be like a fish in water in Little Xuan's engineering? You're just being arrogant. Sooner or later, you'll harm others and yourself! "
Wang Jimi took a sip of wine and said nonchalantly, "I, Wang Jimi, have never tried it before. How do you know it won't work ~? Could it be that you're feeling guilty? "
"Hmph, hmph ~!"
Yan Shilu was so angry that he rolled his eyes. He simply couldn't be bothered with this egomaniac.
Li Zexuan saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He thought for a while and said, "I am deeply honored that the three of you could come to my humble abode today. Moreover, we will be colleagues soon. There's no need to be angry over such a small matter ~! To show my sincerity, I will personally cook a few dishes for all of you. I will also send someone to invite Elder Mo over. The academy is about to start, so let's have a gathering today ~! "
Li Gang clapped and laughed. "Good ~! I've long heard that your skills in food are at the peak of perfection. You must have cooked lunch at Qin Manor yesterday, right ~? I heard that even His Majesty was full of praise for your culinary skills. Today, us old fellows are in for a treat ~! "
When Wang Ji heard Li Gang's words, he suddenly felt a little saliva in his mouth. He licked his lips and said excitedly, "Very good ~! Very good ~! Only good dishes are worthy of good wine. Today, let's see if your culinary skills are worthy of this wine-making skill ~! "
Li Zexuan couldn't be bothered to bicker with this old fellow. He stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey ~! Kid, wait ~! "
As Li Zexuan stood up, Wang Ji's voice came from behind him. "Kid, let me take a look at the knowledge that Yanhuang College is going to impart to you in the future ~! Firstly, it's so that you know what to do. Secondly, as the host, you abandoned your guests and ran away. You should at least leave a few books for us old fellows to relieve our boredom ~! "
Li Zexuan thought that it made sense. He thought to himself that this old fellow had finally said something serious. Thus, he called a servant girl over and whispered a few words to her. After the servant girl received his orders and left, Li Zexuan cupped his fists and said to the three old men sitting in the main hall, "Please wait for a moment.
"Sirs, please wait here for a moment. In a while, the servants will send over the four teaching materials compiled by this kid. Please feel free to take a look ~! I'm going to arrange for lunch ~! "
Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Go ~!"
Li Zexuan cupped his fists and left.
… … …
When he arrived at the back kitchen, he didn't see Li Jingmo. Li Zexuan thought to himself that it was as expected. He knew that his father was just declining when he said that he was going to the back kitchen to arrange lunch. Now that the Li family had a young mistress, how could Li Jingmo be the one to worry about cooking ~? Not only did he not have to worry about it, but the food had also improved a lot. As a matter of fact, Li Jingmo had started to put on weight recently …
"Husband, why don't you let me do it? You can help me watch from the side ~! "
"You ~? But … "
Perhaps this was telepathy. As soon as Li Zexuan walked into the kitchen, Han Yuxi seemed to have guessed the purpose of Li Zexuan's visit before he said anything. Thus, the two of them had a conversation.
"Husband, you should still be cooking the five dishes from yesterday, right ~?"
Han Yuxi asked with a faint smile.
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Yes, that's right ~! Look at how confident you are. Could it be that you know how to cook ~? "
He indeed didn't intend to develop new dishes. With his abnormal mental strength, he could recall the cooking methods of many dishes. However, good things had to be developed slowly, right ~? If he took them all out at once, how boring would that be ~!
Han Yuxi wrung her hands and thought seriously. She replied, "I can try, but it would be great if husband could watch from the side ~!"
Li Zexuan was slightly surprised. Han Yuxi had only seen the entire cooking process of the five dishes at the Qin residence yesterday. She could cook by herself after seeing it once ~?
With curiosity and doubt, Li Zexuan replied, "Yes ~! No problem ~! "
Han Yuxi smiled happily. Then, she turned around and began to get busy with the Li family's chef, Aunt Zhao, and the two maids.
Cutting the meat, blanching it, drying it, frying it, and steaming it. Next, Han Yuxi skillfully followed the steps of Li Zexuan making braised pork with preserved vegetables yesterday. Li Zexuan, who was watching from the side, only thought that he was cooking ~!
As time slowly passed, the new dishes that Li Zexuan made yesterday: vinegar spiced radish skin, big bowl of braised pork, white cut chicken, fried fish pieces, and fried chicken cubes were all perfectly replicated by Han Yuxi ~!
"Husband, try the taste ~?"
Han Yuxi knew that Li Zexuan didn't like to eat fatty meat, so she picked up a piece of fried chicken cubes and handed it to Li Zexuan's mouth. Then, she asked.
"Oh ~! Genius ~! Genius ~! Wife, you are actually a genius ~! "
