The middle-aged man walked into the store, only to see a young man sitting in the store, dozing off little by little.

"Shopkeeper!" the middle-aged man knocked on the table and shouted.

Ning Fu stood up suddenly and saw the middle-aged man in the store.

"Your guest is here for dinner?" Ning Fu rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief.

For a moment, he actually felt that he was still in a dream. After all, except for Zhang Dun, there were no other guests during this period.

"Exactly! There is no menu here, how should guests order?"

The middle-aged man found a chair to sit down and asked casually.

"Does the guest have any dietary restrictions, such as onions, ginger, mutton, etc.?"

"That's not true." The middle-aged man shook his head.

"Please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon!"

Ning Fu turned around and went to the kitchen.

The middle-aged man was stunned again. He thought this young man was a clerk in the store, but he didn't expect that he was also the one cooking.

"What kind of delicious food can a teenage boy make that would attract that person to come here for several days in a row? Could it be..."

When the middle-aged man thought about the last thing, he was suddenly startled and looked up again at Ning Fu who was busy in the kitchen.

What if that person didn’t come here to eat at all, but came here for this young man?

Although this young man looks handsome, the middle-aged man knows that he only likes beautiful women.

I understand! Suddenly an idea flashed in the middle-aged man's mind. Could it be that this young man is his illegitimate son?

This is the only reasonable explanation!

Various thoughts play out one after another in the middle-aged man's mind.

But when Ning Fu brought the stir-fried vegetables, all the middle-aged man's speculations were shattered. It turned out that the man really came here just for the delicious food!

"Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish-flavored shredded pork, white chopped chicken, stir-fried bean sprouts!"

Ning Fu introduced the four dishes. They were still three meat dishes and one vegetable dish. There was nothing we could do about it. It was winter and vegetarian dishes were really rare.

After saying this, Ning Fu was about to leave, but the middle-aged man suddenly stopped him and said: "Storekeeper, I have something to ask you!"

"Guest, please speak!" Ning Fu stopped and said.

"Is there an old man in his sixties who often comes to your place for dinner recently?"

The middle-aged man smiled very kindly.

Ning Fu was shocked because the other party was obviously asking Zhang Dun.

He remained calm on the surface and replied seemingly casually: "There is indeed such a guest."

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged man seemed relieved and didn't ask anything else.

After Ning Fu returned to the kitchen, he also quietly paid attention to the middle-aged man. Just now, he was only focusing on cooking and didn't pay attention to him at all.

It was only then that Ning Fu discovered that the middle-aged man was well-dressed, his nails, hair, and beard were carefully taken care of, and his demeanor was quite extraordinary.

Ning Fu even sensed a temperament somewhat similar to that of Zhang Dun in the middle-aged man.

It's the kind of person who has been in a high position for a long time. Even if he changes into regular clothes, he still sits there with a calm and intimidating attitude, making people afraid to get close to him.

"Is this another high-ranking official in the court, why are you running towards me?" Ning Fu whispered to himself.

The middle-aged man tasted the food slowly and glanced outside from time to time, obviously waiting for Zhang Dun.

About half an hour later, Zhang Dun came to the store as usual.

As soon as Zhang Dun entered the store, he saw the middle-aged man in the store. This made his expression change, and his face was full of displeasure.

"Brother Zihou, I have visited you many times, but you have refused to see me. I have no choice but to make this decision!"

I saw the middle-aged man also stood up at this time, bowed his hands to Zhang Dun and saluted.

Ning Fu, who was in the kitchen, heard that the middle-aged man was discussing friendship with his peer Zhang Dun, which further confirmed his guess. The other party was definitely one of the big shots in the court.

"Huh, Mr. Zhang can't compare to your brothers!"

Zhang Dun snorted coldly.

This was the first time Ning Fu saw Zhang Dun angry, and he also got an important piece of information.

"Brothers? It is very rare for two brothers to be important ministers in the court. Could it be that they are brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian?"

Ning Fu secretly speculated.

"No, brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian are Zhang Dun's right-hand men, he would never be so repulsive!"

Ning Fu suddenly became excited when he thought of this: "In this way, only the Su brothers are left. Su Shi is not in the capital now, so this middle-aged man can only be Su Che!"

The middle-aged man's next words also confirmed Ning Fu's conjecture.

He took a step forward and said to Zhang Dun sincerely: "Brother Zihou, my brother has known you for many years. When you were impeached out of Beijing, my brother did not add insult to injury. Why do you have to force me so hard now?"

"Hard to push each other?"

Zhang Dun's eyes were like daggers, he stared at Su Zhe and asked, "Let me ask you, have I ever done anything wrong to your brothers?"

"This..." Su Che's face turned red, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

"Then do you brothers feel sorry for me in any way?"

Zhang Dun asked again.

Su Zhe's face turned red now and he couldn't say a word.

Just when the atmosphere in the store was tense, Ning Fu suddenly popped his head out of the back kitchen and coughed dryly:

"You two, this is a place to eat. If you get angry before eating, it may affect your appetite!"

Su Che didn't expect that a small store owner would speak at this time, so he looked at Ning Fu in surprise.

On the other hand, Zhang Dun didn't seem surprised. He chuckled and said, "Hurry up if you have any special dishes today. I'll leave as soon as I finish, so as not to spoil my mood!"

Ning Fu agreed and immediately started cooking.

But secretly Ning Fu sighed, Zhang Dun had a strong character and was very loyal to his friends.

In the Wutai Poetry Case, the New Party actually took the opportunity to attack Su Shi, but as a member of the New Party, Zhang Dun did not avoid suspicion at all. Instead, he spoke out and tried his best to rescue Su Shi. Su Shi was also very grateful to Zhang Dun afterwards.

But later when the reform failed and Zhang Dun was in trouble, Su Che criticized Zhang Dun heavily. Su Shi did not stop him at that time, which was regarded as acquiescence in his brother's impeachment of Zhang Dun.

The betrayal of a friend is even more difficult to accept, so it is not difficult to understand Zhang Dun's hatred for Su Shi.

The dishes in the kitchen were all prepared in advance, so Ning Fu quickly prepared four dishes and served them to Zhang Dun.

"Steamed lion head, steamed egg with minced meat, braised in soy sauce..."

Ning Fu habitually reported the name of the dish.

Before Ning Fu could finish naming the third dish, Zhang Dun's face darkened and he pointed at the third dish and asked, "Who asked you to cook this dish!"

"Well?"

Ning Fu was also stunned. He did not expect that Zhang Dun would suddenly change his face.

Su Che next to him took a look at the dishes Ning Fu brought, and his expression immediately changed. He stared at Ning Fu like a knife, and the atmosphere in the store suddenly became more tense.

"What's wrong with this dish?" Ning Fu didn't know why.

"Dongpo meat!" Zhang Dun sneered and looked at Ning Fu with cold eyes, "What do you mean by serving this dish?"

When Su Che heard the three words "Dongpo meat", the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

This is Su Dongpo's favorite work, and of course both Su Che and Zhang Dun have tasted it.

Ning Fu finally knew what the problem was.

Dongpo meat, literally means meat made by Su Dongpo, or meat from Su Dongpo.

If you feed Dongpo meat to others, of course there is no problem, but Zhang Dun hates Su Dongpo the most, so if Ning Fu gives him Dongpo meat, it will easily arouse other people's thoughts.

For Su Che, he must have thought that Zhang Dun wanted to eat his brother's flesh, and Ning Fu was undoubtedly Zhang Dun's accomplice.

As for Zhang Dun, Liu Zheng had already recognized him yesterday, so Ning Fu must know his identity. Now Ning Fu is sending Dongpo meat, which is undoubtedly to please him, but this kind of flattery method is too mean.

, and Zhang Dun hates this kind of villain the most!

One dish offended two prime ministers, and Ning Fu was unprecedented.

"Ahem~, this is not Dongpo pork, but braised pork. Although it looks similar, the preparation and taste are different!"

Ning Fu resisted the numbness of his scalp and explained.

With all his conscience, he really didn't think that much before serving the food.

Zhang Dun looked directly into Ning Fu's eyes and said again word for word: "You are lying!"

"Dongpo pork is boiled first and then steamed. The meat is crispy and not broken. Braised pork is fried first and then boiled. The skin is tight and melts in your mouth."

"The most important thing is that whether Dongpo pork or braised pork, it needs to be prepared at least an hour in advance. An hour ago, there were no customers in the store!" Ning Fu explained again.

At this moment, both Zhang Dun and Su Che were startled. Could it be that they are too sensitive?

Seeing the change in the expressions of Zhang and Dun, Ning Fu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Ning Fu felt a little angry, and said boldly: "You two, we are just having a meal, and you have to worry about the name of the dish again and again. Aren't you tired?"

After Ning Fu finished speaking, he turned around and left, too lazy to explain any more.

Both Zhang Dun and Su Che looked embarrassed.

Two dignified prime ministers were silenced by a young man cooking.
