Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Chapter 358 Governing a country is like cooking porridge?

In response to Zhuge Liang's words, Tang Yu glanced at him.

He pushed the pickled mustard tuber he had made toward Zhuge Liang and said.

"Mr. Zhuge, why don't we talk while we eat?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the delicious dish before him, which looked and smelled wonderful, and nodded in approval.

Thanks to the Tang Yu system, at least in ancient times he didn't have a shortage of food.

He even ate better than Ying Zheng during the Qin Dynasty, except that Ying Zheng took advantage of Tang Yu's absence last time.

He sent his henchman Fusu, who stole Tang Yu's seasonings, which led to Ying Zheng's life improving.

This dish was a delicacy that Zhuge Liang had never seen before.

He tasted the ordinary pickled mustard greens and Tang Yu's casually made fried rice, and his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Tang's cooking is truly exceptional; I have never seen anything like it in my life."

Hearing Zhuge Liang praise his cooking skills, Tang Yu couldn't help but smile.

After all, he would definitely be unhappy if others praised Tang Yu for his skill in governing the country, since that's not what he wanted to do.

But if you praise Tang Yu for being able to cook, Tang Yu will be happy immediately.

"Of course! Let me tell you, the entire Qin state..."

"Mr. Tang, you have quite the refined taste. You didn't even call me for breakfast so early in the morning."

Tang Yu looked at Ying Zheng, who had arrived uninvited, with a somewhat speechless expression.

“Brother Zheng, this is my house. Remember this detached palace, even though it may have originally been yours.”

"But the moment you gave it to me, this house became mine."

Looking at the towering Ying Zheng in front of him, Tang Yu couldn't help but complain.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Haha, it's not that I got up early this morning to look for Mr. Zhuge."

"So you're here too, Mr. Tang? I just happened to come uninvited."

"Next time for sure! Next time for sure!"

Zhuge Liang was truly shocked to see the two interacting in such a manner.

As the most honorable emperor in the world, and the first emperor in the entire history of China.

Ying Zheng's status was extremely prestigious, not to mention his original separate palace.

There is no place in the world that Ying Zheng cannot go.

However, Tang Yu directly refused Ying Zheng's arrival.

Ying Zheng, somewhat guilty, replied, "I'll definitely do it next time!"

The two were less like ruler and subject and more like inseparable friends.

Or perhaps they were confidants, or even brothers.

Ying Zheng looked at the food in front of Tang Yu and skillfully went to the side to serve himself a bowl.

He sat down directly next to Zhuge Liang and Tang Yu, and seeing the two of them staring at him, Ying Zheng immediately spoke.

"You two don't need to worry about what I say or what I talk about. Just think of me as someone who's here to freeload a meal."

To be honest, Ying Zheng felt that he was only truly himself when he was by Tang Yu's side.

Rather than the Qin Emperor of Qin, he had never felt so relaxed and at ease.

Normally, even those ministers were extremely afraid of him.

But Ying Zheng still felt a strange unease in his heart.

But with Tang Yu, all shackles can be removed.

Perhaps the Ying Zheng who looks like a friendly, handsome middle-aged man now is the real him.

He didn't want to be the cold and unapproachable Ying Zheng.

Rather, it was that he had no one left in the entire world to confide in, no one he could trust.

This is what is meant by "the Way is rare, yet one is alone."

If he could, Ying Zheng would not have wanted things to come to this.

But the affairs of the world, and the entire Qin state, were all attached to him.

Therefore, he was extremely fortunate that Mr. Tang's arrival changed Ying Zheng's situation.

Seeing the two men's behavior, Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, but instead spoke to himself.

"Mr. Tang, I think that with your talent and ability..."

"It's a real waste of talent to spend so much of a day on this roe deer extermination."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Tang Yu looked at him with a half-smile.

"Oh? What, could it be the legendary Zhuge Liang, the Crouching Dragon?"

"Is there really such narrow-minded prejudice? Is this truly a waste of talent?"

Zhuge Liang felt a little uncomfortable under Tang Yu's gaze and chuckled awkwardly.

"Of course it is! After all, Mr. Tang's talent is known throughout the world."

"However, he has done quite a bit of research on the topic of diet."

Faced with Zhuge Liang's questioning, Tang Yu remained silent, but slowly began to recite a line of poetry.

"I was originally a commoner, farming in Nanyang..."

As Tang Yu carried him on his back, Zhuge Liang fell silent.

Because if there are no unforeseen circumstances, there must be some record of his life of farming in Nanyang in this book.

Similarly, the fact that one can cook and enjoys cooking must also be included in this category.

"Mr. Zhuge, what do you say?"

Seeing Zhuge Liang's utter embarrassment, Tang Yu not only didn't know when to stop, but instead relentlessly pursued and attacked him.

As expected, an awkward expression appeared on Zhuge Liang's face as he looked at Tang Yu, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Mr. Tang, this isn't..."

"If it weren't for the fact that I think it's quite nice for a gentleman to cook, and all delicacies are the most delicious food in the world and should not be wasted."

Looking at Zhuge Liang's various theories, Tang Yu smiled but remained silent.

However, Zhuge Liang's expression turned serious.

"But Mr. Tang, what appears to be cooking is actually the work of those who cook."

"In fact, it can indeed make us feel the fun in life, and we can also learn a lot of lessons."

"Oh, Mr. Zhuge is right!"

Tang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuge Liang.

He nodded seriously, and then spoke earnestly.

"Mr. Zhuge's words are absolutely right, and I have also learned some lessons from my daily cooking."

Immediately, both Ying Zheng and Zhuge Liang raised their eyes to look at Tang Yu.

I want to see what profound truths Tang Yu will utter.

Under the expectant gazes of the two, Tang Yu turned his attention to the bowl of porridge in his hand.

"This is a bowl of seafood porridge, made with a variety of high-quality seafood, and the taste is exceptionally delicious."

Ying Zheng had just unknowingly drunk a large bowl of water.

Ignoring their curious gazes, Tang Yu focused his attention on the seafood porridge.

"Take this bowl of seafood porridge I'm cooking for example. If the heat was too high when it was being cooked..."

"Instead of being as fresh and sweet as it is now, it will be full of brownish color."

"Some things, like cooking, require a strong fire and a powerful stove."

"And some things are like cooking this seafood porridge. I wonder what your opinions are?"
