After coming to the royal city, Li Qi was really like a Liu Laolao entering the city. Looking around, she felt that the design here was really amazing. Although the architectural style has a strong sense of design, the surrounding environment makes you feel like you are in the deep forest.

On both sides of the solemn jade road, the gurgling stream can be seen from time to time.

At the corner, you can see the majestic waterfall!

Looking around, there are lush green everywhere, with birds singing and flowers scenting.

After a long time, they came to a grand mansion and said it was a mansion. It was not an exaggeration to say it was a palace at this scale. Anyway, it was much more magnificent than the palace Li Qi had seen in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The purple gate alone is about ten feet tall, much taller than the city gates of later generations. You can imagine how large the scale of this mansion is, and there is a huge plaque hanging on it - Zijin Cave Mansion.

The purple tiles and jade wall shines with dazzling light in the sun. The open purple door is so magnificent!

"Get in!"

Taotie walked straight into the gate.

The guardian was an elderly Aries beast. When he saw Taotie coming, he immediately came forward and shouted loudly: "Mr. Zijin, you are back."

Li Qi felt a little weird. Just in front of him, can you make such a loud noise? Is this the gatekeeper etiquette of the royal city?

Taotie glanced at the Aries beast, then said to it: "Don't hide it, I don't know what kind of virtue you are."

What does it mean? Li Qi looked at Han Ying and saw that Han Ying had no expression on her face. She had no tacit understanding with him. She seemed to be out of the situation all the time. She thought to herself, she is really a qualified bodyguard!

Follow Taotie inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a familiar question.

It's the taste of the cooking room.

Li Qi thought to himself, it is impossible, no matter how you design it, you should not smell the kitchen when you enter the door.

After passing a corridor, I came to a very spacious hall... no, not the hall, it was... the kitchen.

Li Qi was suddenly confused. In fact, it was normal to bring him to the kitchen directly with Taotie's personality. In terms of this pattern, this place should be a hall, and the kitchen looked really magnificent, with coral hollow windows, crystal jade bi as lamps, pearls as curtains, and a huge round bead hanging on the top, but there was a kitchen table and stove inside. There was still a very large dining table in front of it.

It seems out of place.

Not only that, there are dozens of "second senior brothers" standing inside.

Pig beasts are rare in the Cauldron, and Li Qi has never seen them.

I saw these pig beasts with a pair of big ears, a round belly, a long nose, a chubby cheek, and a hint of rosy look, which looked very cute.

"Purple Gold Duke!"

At this time, they were hanging their heads, puffing their mouths, and their big ears wrapped around their cheeks, looking at Taotie pitily.

Taotie pinched his forehead and said, "One day, I will eat you all!"

"Zijin Gong, we were wrong!"

But when he saw Senior Brother Sanwuer, he burst into tears.

Taotie glared at her eyes, and they immediately stopped crying. Their small eyes were shining with tears. I was so pitiful to me!

Taotie sighed again, then pointed at Li Qi and said to them: "From today, all the big and small matters here will be decided by Li Qi."

"Abide by the order!"

These two senior brothers said in unison.

If ordinary royal families may be surprised, after all, Li Qi is a human, but they do not hesitate, and they all look well-behaved.

"Li Qi, they are cookers who specialize in cooking for the king of the earth." Taotie pointed to the second senior brothers.

Li Qi said in surprise: "Then...why are they here?"

Taotie said, "Because I specifically care about this, they will take turns to go to the King's Palace to cook for the King of the Earth."

It turns out that after a long time of work, you are the chief manager of the imperial kitchen! Damn! I thought you were holding thousands of troops in your hand. Li Qi nodded and said, "So that's it."

Taotie suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Li Qi, have you prepared the dishes?"

Li Qi said: "I have some ideas, but I haven't improved it yet. After all, I don't know much about the ingredients in the royal city."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Taotie waved his hands repeatedly and said, "What ingredients do you want? Even if you tell them, they will find them for you. You can practice here and I will help you taste them every day."

You don’t come here. If I want to cook this type of dish every day, I won’t be exhausted. Besides, with my cooking skills, I don’t need to practice it. Just think about it. Li Qi smiled and said, “Zi Jin Gong, I think if you taste it now, the taste of the dish will definitely be insufficient, but at the same time it will make you lose your sense of surprise, which will backfire. I don’t think it’s bad for these days.”

Taotie thought about it and felt that there was some reason, and said, "Okay! I can wait for this, but the century feast returns to the century feast. Our agreement is our agreement. Don't say that you didn't think about the dishes for me."

How could he be so clear when it comes to eating! Li Qi was so depressed. This time he didn't think that he was here to prepare for the Feast of the Century. However, under the eaves, this person had to bow his head. Taotie would not eat him. But here's the problem. If Taotie wanted to tease him, wouldn't it be casual? He didn't even know the rules here, so he didn't dare to argue anymore, so he quickly responded: "Of course, of course."

Taotie said expectantly: "Then I wonder what dish you prepared for me?"

Li Qi's mind flashed and he smiled and said, "There are many cattle and sheep in the Niutufeng, but there are not many fish. I thought there must be a lot of fish in the royal city, so all the dishes I prepared for Zijingong this time were about fish."

When he flew over, he found that the river channel of the royal city was very developed.

"Extremely wonderful!Extremely wonderful!"

Taotie was very happy to hear it and suddenly said to a second senior brother: "Pengpeng."

The second senior brother immediately came out and smiled very well and said, "What are the instructions for Mr. Zijin?"

Taotie said to Li Qi: "What kind of fish do you want? Just tell Pengpeng."

Li Qi said embarrassedly: "I don't know what fish are in the royal city..."

Before he could finish his words, the second senior brother Pengpeng said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

After saying that, he hurried out with more than ten second senior brothers.

I didn't say anything! Li Qi looked at Taotie in confusion.

Taotie smiled and said, "He will find you every kind of fish, you will choose it yourself later."

Wow! It’s so extravagant! Li Qi nodded.

Taotie said, "You have a rest here first. I have something to deal with. Come here later."

As soon as he finished speaking, two second senior brothers came over with a basket of chicken legs and looked at Taotie with a flattering smile on his face.

Taotie smiled helplessly, picked up a big chicken leg and threw it into his broad mouth, turned around and walked out.

The two second brothers followed closely behind. When they left the door, they turned around and secretly looked at the other second brothers, very proud and arrogant.

Li Qi secretly wiped cold sweat. These imperial chefs were really weird.

As soon as Taotie left, a second senior brother stopped and said, "Continue, continue, let's continue."

Li Qi came to his senses and saw eight second brothers sitting at a long table. One of them took away the wooden basin on the long table. It turned out that there were a lot of crystal chips under it, and they took out a stack of crystal chips from their pockets.

Li Qi walked forward and glanced, but saw various patterns carved on the crystal, and couldn't help asking, "What are you playing?"

One of the second senior brothers replied: "Six clans."

"Six clans?"

"yes!"

Li Qi glanced for a while and it was actually a card game, but it was painted with six perfect races, and there were basins of food and wine around them. They ate and played. It was the most casual chef Li Qi had ever seen. He said curiously: "Justice Master Zi Jin left, and you started playing again. Aren't you afraid that Zi Jin Gong would blame him?"

"Mr. Zijin is reluctant to blame us." A second senior brother said with a big round belly and smiled.

"Why?"

Li Qi asked, "Do you say your cooking skills are amazing?"

"That's not all. In fact, Mr. Zijin likes to chat with us very much because we are all interested in eating, and we know Mr. Zijin's habits very well."

Isn’t it just flattering? Really, why is the second senior brother so good? Li Qi muttered to himself, then looked around and said, “Strange! Why do I see the layout of this place that looks like a hall, not like a cooking room.”

“This is the hall.”

A second senior brother watching said.

Li Qi said in surprise: "Is this the hall?"

"yes!"

The second senior brother said, "Mr. Zijin thinks that the hall is so big and the decoration is very good. The key is that it is closest to the gate, so it is too wasteful to use it to make the hall. Therefore, I changed it to a cooking room and the cooking room into a hall. However, Mr. Zijin rarely goes to the hall and usually stays here."

This... this is really willful! Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this OK?"

"Of course, other royal families cannot do it, but this is the Zijin Cave Palace. Who would think the hall is small, so you can't come!"

"That's it! That's it!"

"You have to go to the hall and enter around the side door."

The two second senior brothers are in line with the Tao.

It would be worth the vain of being able to be so willful! Li Qi nodded and said, "It makes sense." But he thought to himself that this mansion might not have been built by Zijin Gong, otherwise, Zijin Gong would have designed it in advance before construction.

An older second senior brother said, "Xiao Jie, take Li Qi around and get familiar with this place. We will finish this game quickly. We will work later."

"All right!"

Xiao Jie said again: "It's my turn to play next time."

"I know! I know!"
