After Yang Huairen listened to Xiao Lao'er's words, although he was not very comfortable in his heart, he could only sigh.

This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it will also exist in future generations. In the final analysis, thought is a person's freedom, and in later generations when the flow of people is very large, many descendants of Han people abroad also face such problems.

They grew up in different cultural atmospheres, and although they recognized their personal identity as the Chinese nation, they did not necessarily have a high sense of identity with the Chinese culture and country.

In the final analysis, there is nothing wrong with these people, if the Great Song Dynasty wants them to have a sense of identity, they must be strong, and the country and nation have risen and become strong, so as to increase the sense of identity and pride of all the countrymen and clansmen.

Seeing Yang Huairen's sad face, Xiao Lao'er thought that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly comforted, "Grandpa, their affairs are not the focus of our attention now.

Although these Han nobles of the Liao State have a high status, in fact, their families are more concerned about how to make a fortune and how to maintain the status of the family in the Liao State, and they do not care too much, nor do they have the power to influence who the heir to the Khitan throne is.

In the future, when our Great Song Dynasty takes back the land of Yanyun, they will naturally return to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, we are compatriots with the same roots. ”

Yang Huairen smiled faintly, "You're right, we still have important things to care about at the moment." ”

He suddenly noticed that Yang Lotian was lying by the window at this time, and his eyes were wide open to identify all the crowd that had come to the ring and waited to see the excitement.

Yang Huairen knew that he was trying to find out his father, maybe because this was a cooking competition, and Yang Lotian heard that his father seemed to be a chef in Zhongjing, so he felt that his father should come to join in the fun of today's culinary event.

It's a pity that he has been looking for a long time, but he still hasn't seen his father's figure, he has been watching here since dawn, his eyes have been staring like this, they have become red from fatigue, he still refuses to give up, and keeps watching nervously, as if expecting that the familiar face in his memory will suddenly appear in his sight.

Yang Huairen walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "It's troublesome for you to burn your eyes like this, the teacher has already sent someone to help you inquire about your father's whereabouts, we are going to stay in Zhongjing for a while, you don't have to worry, I believe there will be news of him." ”

Yang Lotian turned his head and thanked the master, rubbed his sore eyes, and was a little disappointed in his tone, "I don't know if my father will come to participate in such a grand event today, I have been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen his shadow."

Perhaps, even if he has come, it's a pity that we haven't seen him for many years, and I don't recognize his appearance......"

Yang Huairen had no choice but to comfort, "You don't have to be too pessimistic, he has only been away from you for ten years, and his appearance may get older, but his general face should not change much."

Maybe he's coming, but standing in an inconspicuous place, you haven't seen him for a while, maybe he still has something to do, and he doesn't have time to watch the excitement?

Don't worry, Master has promised you that he will definitely help you find your father. But you have to promise Master that you can't boil your eyes like this anymore, and you will become blind, but you will never see your father again. ”

Yang Lotian finally squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, Master, I understand." The apprentice went to help the master prepare the tools. ”

He looked out the window again, then turned around and went downstairs, Yang Huairen looked at his back, there was an unspeakable sorrow in his heart, and he unconsciously remembered his father.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more people watching the excitement around the ring, and the small square in front of the Temple of All Nations is already crowded with people, and even the road is blocked.

Seeing this, Yang Huairen gave the younger brother of Tianba in the ring an inquiring color, and the younger brother of Tianba nodded to indicate that all preparations were ready, and Yang Huairen turned around and went downstairs.

When Yang Huairen walked into the ring leisurely in the dress of a literati, the scene became enthusiastic.

Some of the crowd began to cheer, some began to boo, and there were even a few curses.

Yang Huairen ignored them at all, stepped forward and sat in a circle with everyone present, "Down there is Yang Huairen, and I am known as the young chef god." ”

As soon as he spoke, there was another round of boos, Yang Huairen just smiled and continued, "As an envoy of the Song Dynasty to the Liao State, I was originally the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and it was not suitable for setting up a ring to compare cooking skills.

But after coming down to Zhongjing Dading Mansion, I heard a lot of rumors in the market, which roughly means that the cooking skills under the market are not very good, not as good as several famous chefs in Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and not worthy of the name of the young chef god.

In fact, several famous chefs in the culinary industry in Zhongjing have never seen them before, and they don't dare to draw conclusions about their cooking skills, but if they want to compete with the next, they will accompany them to the end.

As for whether it is worthy of the title of 'Young Chef God', I also think that what they said is very right, I am already an adult, and it is not appropriate to call it 'Young Chef God' at all, so I feel that it should be called the Chef God directly, which is appropriate. ”

After saying this, a burst of laughter broke out in the underground of the ring, and the Khitan nobles who were sitting upstairs watching the excitement burst out with laughter.

Xin said that looking at this Yang Huairen Si Wenwen, I thought he was a humble gentleman, who would have thought that he would be so ashamed?

Is he really an out-and-out megalomaniac, the name of the kitchen god, and the one he gave himself? Dare to say this, it's really unexpected.

Yang Huairen saw their disdainful expressions, not only did he not restrain himself, but felt that this was exactly the result he wanted, and not only that, but he also felt that this level of arrogance was not enough to show his arrogant image.

So he pointed to the banners again, "So set up a fight here, invite all the celebrity chefs of Zhongjing Dading Mansion to come and attack, I want to see who is bragging, and who has real skills!"

Please look at these words, if you don't know it, you will read it out for everyone to hear, this article is 'Yang Huairen, the prince of Tongyuan County in the Great Song Dynasty, set up a fight, and invited famous chefs from all walks of life in Beijing to try their cooking skills'.

This article says, 'Those who win Yang County will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the loser will howl a thousand times, I am a pig'. ”

The education penetration rate of the Great Song Dynasty is relatively high in all dynasties, but it cannot be compared with the era of compulsory education in later generations, not to mention the Liao State, the Khitan people don't like to read very much, and the Khitan language they will say, but they don't recognize it.

So it is true that most people under the ring are illiterate, after listening to these two slogans, they first exclaimed, and then there was a burst of laughter, surprised that Yang Huairen dared to give a thousand taels of silver as gambling money, and the method of coaxing and punishing the loser was a bit of a child's play.
