    Although Jiang Xia felt quite happy when he beat Wang Quan, as soon as he left the playground, he started to have a headache.  Now that we have fallen out with Wang Quan, if we fail to win the noon competition in the end, I am afraid that the Xia family will not be able to stay any longer.  After Jiang Xia left the main courtyard of the atrium, she went directly back to the courtyard to sleep. When she woke up, it was already close to noon.  Jiang Xia quickly got up, tidied up her appearance, and started walking to the backyard The capital.  royal palace.  In the royal study.  Wearing a dragon robe, Zhu Zaijiang was reviewing memorials, and soon the door of the imperial study room was pushed open with a creak.  Zhu Zaijiang put down the cinnabar imperial pen in his hand and looked up.  There were not many people who dared to break into his imperial study without going through communication, and the person in front of me was one of them.  The visitor walked up to Zhu Zaijiang, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Old servant, see the Emperor." Zhu Zaijiang waved his hand, signaling the visitor to stand up.  He opened his mouth and called out: "Uncle Li. Come to see me, but Jiang Xia's whereabouts have been found?" The person who can let Zhu Zaijiang call him "Uncle Li" is naturally Li Bayi, the core figure of the royal family.  At this moment, he was wearing a long black coat, and his right sleeve was empty.  Obviously, the master whose right hand was cut off by Jiang Xia's sword in Ruyunzhou was him.  After hearing Zhu Zaijiang's words, Li Bayi shook his head and said: "The old slave is incompetent and has not been able to find Jiang Xia's whereabouts for the time being. This time, the old slave has several other things to report to the emperor." "Oh? But say  It's okay." Zhu Zaijiang said.  "It's about the recent movements of those under Jiang Xia. Yu Dayou and Ma Yunlong's hundreds of thousands of navy troops have arrived in a place called 'Philippines' and fought several battles with the Francois there. Now 'Philippines' has  Yu Dayou and the others accounted for half of it, but there is news that the Francois are sending a large number of warships to the Philippines. " "I ordered people to hand over the whereabouts and combat plans of Yu Dayou and the others to the Francois. It is necessary to ensure that Yu Dayou and the others are captured.  He is unable to return to the imperial court because he is in the Philippines. "In addition, Xiao Sha, Qian Juexing, Yin Renmian, Bu Jinyun, Ma Yunfeng, Yu Ren, Leng Yu, Zhang Meng, and a large number of Qianmen disciples are all gone now.  "Outside the Pass. Should we do something?" "We will do our best to hunt down those people and let them die outside the Pass. In addition, we will try our best to collect evidence of corruption against them, such as Yan Luo, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Ren'en, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."  If they don't, I will kill them if they make it up out of thin air!" "Yes." Li Bayi responded, and then prepared to exit the imperial study.  Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to Zhu Zaijiang and said: "By the way, Your Majesty. According to the report from the spies in Fujian, it is because Yu Dayou and his navy forces all left Fujian, so there are pirates in Fujian now.  The breeding is rampant again. Do you think we should send someone to rectify it? " "No need for the time being. When the overall situation is stable, I will wipe out all the pirates in the Xia family's backyard."  The assessment of Xia Lin's companion reading is in progress.  Jiang Xia, Wang Quan's nephew Wang Zhi, and Ma Tong's nephew Ma Wencai stood in the backyard at the same time, waiting for Xia Jialun's assessment.  Beside Xia Jialun, Xu Fengxian and Mei Yunyun were both there.  In addition, Xia Lin, Wang Quan, Ma Tong and others were also there.  Jiang Xia stood beside Wang Zhi, a little distracted as usual.  Wang Zhi on the side suddenly whispered to Jiang Xia: "Boy, I heard that you attacked my uncle today. Very good, you are dead!" Jiang Xia turned his head, looked down at Wang Zhi, and snorted.  There was a sound.  Xia Jialun announced that this assessment is divided into two parts: "knowledge" and "contingency".  The first knowledge test is very simple, which is guessing word puzzles.  Xia Jialun prepared a total of twenty crossword puzzles for Jiang Xia and the others to guess. Three people rushed to answer, and the person with the most correct answers was the winner.  After confirming that the three of them were ready, Xia Jialun began to show the lantern riddles.  The riddle of the first lantern riddle is: "Don't tell me sooner, don't tell me later. Type a word." Almost at the moment Xia Jialun showed it, Jiang Xia had already said the answer: "Xu." Wang Zhi was slightly startled.  , and then immediately understood.  If you don't say it in the morning and don't say it in the evening, it means saying it at noon.  If the word "wu" is added to the word "yan", wouldn't it be the word "xu"?  Xia Jialun glanced at Jiang Xia strangely, and nodded with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You win this game." Xia Lin also nodded to Jiang Xia and continued to show the second riddle.  The mystery is: Confucius climbed mountains.  This time Jiang Xia was faster than last time and said directly: "Yue".  This lantern riddle is not difficult, Ma Wencai also thought of it.  Confucius' real name was Kong Qiu. When he climbed a mountain, the word "qiu" was above the word "shan".  Wang Zhi stamped his feet and then felt that Jiang Xia was not an easy opponent to deal with and that he had underestimated him.  ¡°?You win the round.  "Xia Jialun said again. "There are twenty lantern riddles, and each one has a different riddle. But the result has not changed from the beginning to now. As soon as Xia Jialun showed the question, Jiang Xia could tell the answer immediately without thinking about it. "Joke,  Guessing lantern riddles and matching pairs, these have long been left over from our Mr. Jiang¡¯s fun. ¡°Okay!  This 'knowledge' level was won by He An.  Next, I will take a look at the 'response' abilities of the three of you.  Xia Jialun smiled slightly and said, "I want you to cook two dishes. You can choose to do them or not."  Those who choose to do it will win if they do it, and lose if they fail to do it.  If all three of you choose not to do it, try another round.  " "Two dishes?  What dish?  "Wang Zhi subconsciously asked Xia Jialun. Xia Jialun frowned slightly, feeling that Wang Zhi was a little ignorant of etiquette. When talking to him, he didn't even say "Master" or "Sir", Xia Jialun said: "I want a knife.  When cutting raw eggs, the yolk is not allowed to flow out.  Second, fry the ice cubes, and the ice cubes are not allowed to melt.  " "Cut raw eggs with a knife?  Fried ice cubes?  "After Jiang Xia thought for a while, he immediately made a decision in his mind. "How about it?  Would any of you three be willing to try making these two dishes?  "Xia Jialun asked. Ma Wencai and Wang Zhi looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces. They were obviously not ready to try. Xia Jialun looked at Jiang Xia, obviously wanting to see if Jiang Xia was willing to give it a try. Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said:  "Okay, since the master is interested.  The boy will make these two dishes for me to try.  " After saying that, Jiang Xia said: "Trouble, old man, please order someone to light a fire here and bring over three raw eggs and a kitchen knife!  " "He An!  Xia Lin couldn't help shouting, "Think carefully and don't be impulsive."  "  As for the ice cubes, let alone frying them in oil, even if they are taken out of the ice cellar and placed in the open air, they will definitely melt into water. How can they not melt at all when placed in an oil pan?  Jiang Xia was actually ready to complete what was possible. This made Xia Lin wonder if Jiang Xia was trying to show off. Xu Fengxian glanced at Xia Lin, then smiled slightly and scolded Wang Quan: "Wang Quan, you're still standing.  what?  Eggs, kitchen knives, fire!  " When Wang Quan heard this, he immediately understood what he meant. After he responded, he hurried down to get ready. After a while, Liu Yidao, the chef of the Xia family, brought his apprentice Xia Yuan to the backyard. Xu Fengxian said: "  Why are you still standing there?  The master wants a fire, a kitchen knife, and three raw eggs. Why don't you prepare them quickly?  "    "yes.  "After Xia Yuan responded, he began to prepare what he wanted for Jiang Xia. During the preparation period, Jiang Xia asked Liu Yidao for a pair of fire tongs and a bowl of oil. After the fire was lit in the hall, Jiang Xia took the blade of the kitchen knife  He greased his mouth with oil, then took the tongs and put the kitchen knife on the fire for nearly a stick of incense. The edge of the knife was already red. Jiang Xia carefully wrapped the handle of the kitchen knife with a towel.  , then looked at Xia Jialun, "Master, the raw eggs you want are cut with a knife, please look carefully.  " After saying that, Jiang Xia took a raw egg and put the red-hot kitchen knife on the raw egg. Because the kitchen knife was burned by the fire, it made a "zizz" sound when it touched the eggshell. Then Jiang Xia started  Pressing the kitchen knife down hard, the egg was cooked quickly due to the heat of the blade. Until Jiang Xia cut the egg completely, no yolk or white came out. This time, Wang Quanke was dumbfounded, and he murmured to himself.  Said: "Oh my God, my dear mother, this this is really like a raw egg cut with a knife.  " While the heat from the blade was still there, Jiang Xia quickly cut two eggs in succession. Without exception, neither the yolk nor the egg white came out. " Not only Wang Quan, but also Ma Wencai and Wang Zhi also looked in disbelief.  Jiang Xia clapped her hands, turned to Xia Yuan and said, "Brother Xia, please put these eggs on a plate and give them to the master and his wife to taste.  "  It was cooked, but it was not fully cooked inside, so once it was peeled off, the egg white would flow out immediately. Xu Fengxian threw the egg in her hand on the ground and shouted at Jiang Xia: "Okay, I'll count you down for this one."  It passed by.  What about fried ice cubes?  Let me see if you blow it up"Jiang Xia smiled slightly, as if he already had a countermeasure, and his face looked confident. He first cupped his fists and said to Xia Jialun: "Grandpa, please wait a moment.  "Then he turned around and walked up to Liu Yidao and whispered a few words to Liu Yidao. Liu Yidao nodded to Jiang Xia, then pulled Xia Yuan away. After a while, Liu Yidao returned to Xia Yuan again.  When they arrived in the backyard, they set up a pot, poured oil into it, and started to heat the oil. When it was almost done, Liu Yidao kneaded the flour.  The heating was almost completed. Jiang Xia looked at Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan brought a wooden bucket to Jiang Xia. The wooden bucket contained the ice cubes they had just obtained from the ice cellar. Jiang Xia wrapped the ice cubes in Liu Yidao and kneaded them.  flour, and then threw it into the oil pan, and then quickly took it out of the pan. This time Jiang Xia personally brought the dishes to Xu Fengxian and Xia Jialun, and then said: "Masters and ladies, please bite open this."  Try the ice cube rolls.  " Xu Fengxian glanced at Jiang Xia doubtfully, and then couldn't help but be curious. He took a bite of the pastry roll on the plate. Sure enough, the ice in the center of the pastry roll was still intact and had not been heated by the oil pan. This  The principle is actually very simple. The kneaded flour is wrapped in ice cubes. After leaving the pan, the flour is heated first, and the ice cubes have not felt the heat at all, so they will not melt. Just when Xu Fengxian was still looking surprised.  , Xia Jialun had already burst out laughing: "Okay!  Very good, this position of accompanying the study boy belongs to He An from now on!  " As soon as Xia Jialun finished speaking, suddenly the Fuqing County government's arrester ran into the backyard. As soon as the arrester saw Xia Jialun, he immediately knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Master, it's not good!  Just now, the pirates came ashore and broke into the county government's bank. They stole all the money in the bank!  "    "What?  "Xia Jialun exclaimed.
