Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 929

"That way we can demonstrate electricity in time for the court meeting. If you think it's not enough, we can build a bigger one."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Wei Wu's arrangement and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'll leave this matter to you to arrange."

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Wei Wu responded, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang nod, he prepared to leave, but he turned back just as he reached the palace gate.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Zhu, have you forgotten what the Jinyiwei reported to you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused for a moment, but soon remembered and waved his hand unhappily.

"You mean the Music Bureau hiring a cook? I'll pass on the order and have them send the person over to you."

"That's it, I'm leaving."

After receiving a satisfactory response, Wei Wu did not stay any longer and walked out of Fengxian Hall directly.

However, after coming out, he did not go home directly, but went to Kunning Palace to chat with Queen Ma for a while.

It was not until it gradually darkened that Wei Wu left Kunning Palace and returned to his home.

That night, in order to prevent Zhu Yuxuan from being upset and having to cook by herself, Wei Wu specially announced that they would have a hotpot meal today.

Amid the cheers of the little girls and Zhu Yuxuan's slightly regretful expression, Wei Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the Jiaofangsi launched a unique selection process under Zhu Yuanzhang's order.

Originally, the women chosen here were those with pretty faces, slim figures, and knowledge of one of the four arts: music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

But now they are selecting women with excellent cooking skills, and there are no requirements for appearance and figure.

No, it cannot be said that there are no requirements. It should be said that the cooking skills are quite high, and the more ordinary the face and figure, the better.

After all, Wei Wu is the son-in-law of the emperor, and the Music Bureau will not choose a pretty girl to go to the mansion of the marquis, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After a fierce competition, a petite woman with an unremarkable appearance broke through the siege.

After the candidate was decided, the manager immediately took the woman aside for a private talk.

"Miao Fangfang, starting tomorrow you will go to the Changle Marquis Mansion to serve as a cook. Remember, your only role is to cook."

"In the Marquis' Mansion, never think about things you shouldn't think about. Marquis Changle is not only the Marquis, but also the current imperial consort."

"What you learned in the Music Bureau is absolutely not allowed to be used on the Marquis, otherwise no one can save your life."

Although this petite woman was not particularly good-looking, the manager still gave her some special instructions.

After all, her so-called ordinary appearance was only compared with others in the Jiaofangsi. Compared with ordinary people, Miao Fangfang was still good-looking.

And after all, she came from the Jiaofangsi, and the manager was really afraid that she would take a gamble and become a phoenix.

On the other side, Miao Fangfang listened to what the steward said and behaved very obediently. She immediately bent down and said:

"I will definitely remember what you said, sir. I will only cook and not have any delusions."

"Well, that's it. Someone will teach you some rules in the next few days, and then someone will send you to the Marquis' Mansion to work."

Miao Fangfang nodded immediately, then looked at the manager's back with a smile and watched him leave.

At the same time, at the Changle Marquis Mansion, a group of people gathered around the stone table in Wei Wu's yard.

As the ingredients were gradually cooked, everyone took their chopsticks and took them out of the pot to eat.

However, just when Wei Wu was enjoying his meal, Zhu Yuxuan suddenly spoke.

"Husband, there is no cook at home during this period. I will prepare your daily meals for you, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Wei Wu was stunned. He couldn't understand why his wife was still thinking about cooking.

Didn’t Prince Yan feel quite guilty about the incident before?

But Wei Wu had no idea that the poisoning of Prince Yan was not caused by Zhu Yuxuan.

Although she was indeed planning to use frog skin as an ingredient, in her opinion the main problem was that it was not blanched, not the frog skin.

In addition, it was Nazha who accidentally mixed frog skin into the bun filling, so this incident did not cause any impact on Zhu Yuxuan.

It’s a pity that Wei Wu didn’t know what was going on. Faced with Zhu Yuxuan’s sudden question, he could only respond hastily.

"Um...Okay, okay, then, thank you for your hard work, Yuxuan."

After this episode, Wei Wu felt like chewing wax whenever he ate hot pot.

After finishing the hot pot with great difficulty, Wei Wu found an excuse and quietly went to the kitchen in the mansion.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the kitchen, Wei Wu flipped his wrist and took out a home surveillance camera from the system warehouse.

"If it's unavoidable, at least I have to know what I'm eating!!"

While muttering to himself, Wei Wu did not stop installing the camera in the corner of the kitchen.

After connecting the mobile power bank, he hid and covered the lines, and then took out a Xiaomi mobile phone.

"Although I don't know who this package is from, I appreciate you buying it as a package deal. Otherwise, the camera alone would be useless!"

Wei Wu muttered to himself while manually operating the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the camera.

He left the kitchen quietly only after confirming that everything was correct and he could see the surveillance footage on his mobile phone app.

Although monitoring has been done, it can only tell you what you have eaten, but cannot guarantee your intestinal safety.

So in the following time, Wei Wu still held the mentality of trying not to eat at home if possible.

I basically have my meals at the Institute of Science and Technology every day, and usually stay there until seven or eight o'clock before going home.

Anyway, he had legitimate reasons. After all, he had just accepted Xu Miao as his new student, and it would inevitably take time and energy to impart knowledge to him.

Interestingly, in Xu Miao's eyes, Wei Wu's action was the care and concern of his mentor, and he was deeply moved.

At the same time, because Wei Wu has been at the Institute of Science and Technology for a longer time, the craftsmen have more opportunities to ask him for advice.

The research progress of various departments has also increased a lot. For example, the Shenji Academy completed the design drawings of the rifle after consulting several times.

Afterwards, the Academy of Engineering immediately produced the first rifle according to the parameters in the blueprint, and the progress was extremely smooth.

Until this day, Wei Wu was teaching Xu Miao alone. In the middle of teaching, he heard shouting outside the door.

"Vice-President, Vice-President, the rifle! We have made the rifle!!"
