Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 617

The morning mist has not yet dissipated, and the Imperial College campus is full of students studying in the morning.

Amidst the sound of reading, a tall figure, majestic and high-spirited, appeared in front of the crowd.

He was wearing an official eighth-grade Oriole Buzi green round-collared official robe, followed closely by Luo Xuecheng, who was of the same rank as him, followed by two burly students and four slaves trying to look majestic...

I was stunned to wear the official robe of the eighth rank, giving the feeling of a first rank official.

The rules of Guozixue are very strict, and the students didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly bowed and bowed to meet the teacher.

"Okay, get back on your feet." Zhu Zhen smiled at everyone in an approachable manner: "Get up in the morning, study hard, and wish you all good progress every day."

"Who is this? He looks familiar." After he walked over, the students behind him started talking about it.

"Yeah, I feel like I've seen him before somewhere before." Everyone had the same feeling. There are all tall and short and thin people in Guozixue, but such a big one is rare.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Hong Qi from our class?" A student from Class A of Zhengyi Hall recognized him at a glance.

"Yes, that's the one named Hong Qi." Everyone was stunned. They were more or less impressed by this tallest, strongest and most powerful student in the school.

"No, this is not Hong Qi, this is his brother." Hearing this, Tie Xuan and others quickly clarified for Lao Liu: "They are twin brothers."

"Oh, is this Hong Liu?" everyone asked.

"No, it's Hong E." Yang Shiqi replied.

Seeing all the members pointing at him and talking about him, Zhu Zhen was not annoyed at all. Instead, he turned around with a smile and stood on the steps of the dining hall.

Teacher Luo immediately cleared his throat and said to all the sentient beings: "Come here."

The dean spoke, at least on the surface, more effectively than the principal, and students quickly gathered around him from all directions.

"Let me introduce you to you." Luo Guanzhong pointed to Zhu Zhen beside him and said: "This is Hong Xuecheng, the newly appointed Imperial Academy Prime Minister."

"Greetings to Xuecheng." The members of the community suppressed their surprise and quickly transformed themselves into Xuecheng's former disciples to salute.

"Good morning everyone, I'm glad to meet you all. The day's plan starts in the morning. I won't waste your precious morning reading time, so I will just say a few words." Zhu Zhen looked around and gave an informal inauguration to Hong Zhong. The speech said:

"When I come to Guozixue this time, I will do three things - food, food, what is it? Food! Let everyone eat well so that they can have the energy to study hard and exercise!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the dining hall.

After a while, the sentient beings who had just reacted burst into a suppressed cheer.

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, this is the first official to admit that their food is poor and promise to make improvements, and it is also the Master Xuecheng who is in charge of food!
If you dare to say this to him, everyone should give him a thumbs up!

Zhu Zhen walked up to the banquet hall with his head held high. The head baker, who was directing the waiters to prepare breakfast in the back kitchen, hurriedly came out after hearing the news.

"Luo Xuecheng, you're here so early..." The head chef surnamed Zhou smiled with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed.

"Yes. I am here with the newly arrived Hong Xuecheng for inspection." Luo Guanzhong nodded and said reservedly: "Call the leaders over and pay homage to Xuecheng."

"Yes, yes." Chef Zhou didn't think much and quickly turned around to call someone.

"If there's anything interesting in the dining hall, let's go to the kitchen and have a look." Zhu Zhen said with great interest.When he was a student, he was not allowed to enter the kitchen, but Zhu Zhen was not as particular as a "gentleman staying away from the cook". He was full of interest in watching people cook.

Hu Xian opened the curtain and Zhu Zhen walked into the bustling kitchen.

"Quickly, meet Mr. Xuecheng!" Chef Zhou shouted quickly, and hundreds of chefs knelt down.

"No courtesy, hurry up and go about your business." Zhu Zhen said loudly: "Don't delay the teachers and students' meal."

"Did you hear that? Get up and start working quickly." Chef Zhou scolded again, and all the cooks quickly got up and worked separately.

Zhu Zhen began to inspect the huge kitchen.I saw dozens of stoves lined up in two rows, all burning brightly, with porridge cooking on them, steaming hot and misty.

Dozens of waiters were chopping vegetables on the chopping board, and dozens of people were cleaning at any time...

Speaking of which, the kitchen of this Imperial College is as tidy as anywhere else. All the pots and pans are neatly arranged, the stove is polished, and the floor is clean. There is no sewage. It is almost as hygienic as the transparent kitchens of later generations.

"It's really good." Lao Liu praised.

"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." Chief Chef Zhou quickly said humbly and happily: "It's all the strict requirements of Master Jijiu and Luo Xuecheng. I can only do my best."

Luo Guanzhong looked at Chef Zhou's complacent look and couldn't help but sigh to himself, silly boy, run away...

But Chief Chef Zhou had no idea that he had fallen into the clutches of the devil, and was still there working hard to introduce the situation of the canteen to Hong Xuecheng.

He told Lao Liu that Guozi learned to cook by diners, and each diner was responsible for cooking meals for 25 people. Therefore, he had a total of 130 diners, divided into ten diners teams.

"There are so many people." Zhu Zhen said in surprise: "With so many people, can they come here?"

"It's because the manpower is too tight." Chef Zhou counted with a grimace. In addition to cooking and growing vegetables, these 130 people also had to raise pigs and cattle, grind flour, wash bran, and make vinegar. , grind tofu, soy flour, dry sauce, sweep the school building, clean the east toilet, etc...

"That's really not much." Lao Liu suddenly realized that the so-called waiter actually included all the work of the school janitor. "You guys worked really hard."

"Isn't that right?" Chef Zhou said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, these chefs are farmers who are working hard and endure hardships."

"Do you have food standards?" Zhu Zhen asked again.

"What?" Chef Zhou was stunned.

"It's the food provided to the students every day. Is there a quantity limit?" Lao Liu asked.

"Yes, yes." Chef Zhou hurriedly replied: "Every person has two taels of pickled vegetables, one tael of gluten, one tael of dried fish, and one pound of soup vegetables per person every day. As for the staple food, rice or steamed buns, each day is half a pound. , and pork steamed buns every three days." Chef Zhou quickly reported back.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded. He had eaten at Guozi School for a month. Judging from the dishes, they probably included tofu, vegetables, dried fish, and pickled vegetables.Except for the pork steamed buns...that is, the pork buns that I haven't eaten once, everything else is pretty much the same.

"The standards are actually pretty good." Hu Xian whispered, "It's a little higher than those in the military."

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded and asked the head chef Zhou with a smile, "I want to ask you, did you deliberately make the rice so unpalatable to deduct the students' food expenses?"

"Ah?" Chef Zhou was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said repeatedly: "You are wronged, Luo Xuecheng can testify, villains never dare to commit corruption!"

"Then why did you deliberately make the rice so unpalatable?!" Zhu Zhen's face turned cold and he pointed at the large boiling iron pot beside him and said, "Think about it before you answer, or I will throw you into the pot!"
