Chapter 168: Divine Decree
Everyone is very confident in their own professional field, such as Xiaobai in martial arts, Lin Yu in cooking, and Qingqing in fragrance. Therefore, even though Xiaobai made it clear that he was not very interested in shrimp, especially shrimp, Lin Yu still bought a pound of fresh shrimp and some other vegetables and meat.
Back at the inn, Lin Yu boiled a pot of water, put the little white shrimp in the water and boiled, and fished it out as soon as it changed color.
The originally translucent shrimp turned a vivid water red.
"Nu, taste it." Lin Yu put the shrimp into two white porcelain plates and pushed one plate towards Xiaobai.
"Just eat like that?" Xiaobai looked at the shrimp on the plate, a little puzzled, "It's not like I haven't eaten boiled shrimp, but you don't even put ginger, vinegar and salt?" ”
"You don't understand this, cooking is about seven materials and three jobs." Lin Yu scooped a spoonful of shrimp with a spoon and put it in his mouth, with a look of nostalgia and intoxication. "This shrimp is fished out of the river, the most fresh, the best way to eat is to eat like this, no ingredients, in order to eat the sweetness of the small white shrimp."
Xiaobai saw that Lin Yu really seemed to like it very much, and also tried to pick up a small shrimp and put it in his mouth, savoring it, and sure enough, the shrimp meat in the tough shrimp shell was sweet and juicy, and it filled his mouth in an instant. That pure sweetness is not something that can be blended by any seasoning, but can only be given by fresh and natural ingredients.
"How? I'm not going to lie to you. Lin Yu looked at Bai Feiruo who was also obsessed with this taste, and couldn't help but say a little proudly.
"Indeed, this kind of delicacy can only be made in the simplest way." Bai Feiruo put down the spoon and smiled.
"No, just add a little soy sauce vinegar or other seasonings, and the taste of this shrimp will change immediately. And if it is not fresh, the sweetness of the shrimp itself disappears. Lin Yu nodded and said, "But if you want to eat other shrimp, I'll make it for you next time, drunk shrimp, steamed shrimp, grilled shrimp, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, braised shrimp in pipa shrimp oil." I'm good at seafood and river fresh, and I'll make hundreds of shrimp alone, and I'll make you whatever you want to eat. ”
When Xiaobai heard this, he naturally longed for it leisurely, and was about to speak, but one of Yin He's shopkeepers knocked on the kitchen door and probed his brain at the door.
"What's the matter, why don't you come in and speak?" Seeing him, Bai Fei couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
The shopkeeper thought that the two of them were in the middle of you, so they didn't come in directly. Unexpectedly, the two of them were just eating, and when they saw Bai Feiruo asking, they naturally couldn't explain it, so they only laughed.
"There is a person named Zhao Dayi who came to find Miss Lin, and he also brought the master of the Zhang family." The shopkeeper said.
"Zhao Dayi, why did he come here so quickly? also took the head of the Zhang family. Lin Yu frowned slightly, "We don't have so much silver in our hands, so let's eat these lands in one go." ”
"Anyway, since you're here, we'll see you." Bai Feiruo said with a smile, "Actually, if you want me to say, we won't eat all of them, and the output of five to ten hectares of land should be enough for Sister Qingqing's business." ”
Lin Yu retorted softly to Xiaobai as he walked, "With Sister Qingqing's level and Sister Yin's help, her business is only better, not worse." In addition, I would like to hold a flower viewing banquet once a year at the restaurant, which specializes in flower-related dishes. Well, in fact, you can not only do a flower viewing banquet but also a green bamboo banquet, a lotus banquet or something, those rich people who like vassal elegance must be willing to join the party. ”
Xiaobai watched Lin Yu change from criticizing herself at the beginning to muttering to herself, and couldn't help laughing again, she seemed to really like cooking.
After all, the two of them came out of the kitchen, changed into neat and clean clothes, and cleaned up a little before inviting Zhao Dayi and the master of the Zhang family to come in.
The old man of the Zhang family is about forty, not very old, and he can barely be called handsome at the age of twenty, but now he is full of sadness and looks very haggard.
From the words of the two, Lin Yu learned that Zhao Dayi originally did not plan to bring the master of the Zhang family to see him today. However, after Zhao Dayi returned home, his wife heard about it and sent someone to tell her uncle, that is, the master of the Zhang family. The old man of the Zhang family was in a hurry, and he rushed to the doctor, so he hurriedly found his niece and wanted to see Lin Yu. The old man of the Zhang family is like this, what can Zhao Dayi do as a junior, so he has to lead him here.
"Master Zhang, I don't know if the shopkeeper Zhao told you, the money in my hand is not enough to buy all the land you sold." Lin Yu took a sip of tea from the cup, and then said slowly.
"I heard Dayi say, how much can be sold." The old man of the Zhang family nodded, and said with a wry smile, "But I can't do anything about it, such a large piece of land, although some pieces of land are sold, but they can't be sold in this county." A few wealthy people in neighboring counties and state capitals want to lower the price again, and now the land price is three percent cheaper than the original, and no matter how cheap it is, it really can't be cheaper. If I grit my teeth and don't sell it, although my son is not good, but it hurts my children's body and hurts my father's heart, how can I give him his name in vain. ”
Lin Yu pondered for a while, and did not answer the topic, but "I heard that there are a lot of spices and flowers planted on the land you want to sell?" ”
"Yes, if it is a spice flower, it has not been fully harvested yet, if Miss Lin buys more than ten hectares of land, I don't want the harvest on the ground you bought." The old man of the Zhang family took another step back.
"As long as the land is really suitable for growing flowers and spices, I will definitely buy some, it's just a matter of how much." Lin Yu nodded, seeing that the old man of the Zhang family had a happy look on his face, he sighed softly and poured some cold water on his head. "Cao Yu's question, is your son's case turning around again?"
The old man of the Zhang family's face suddenly turned gray, "It's all said and done, I won't hide it, I found someone, but his official position is not greater than that of the deceased sister's husband." ”
As he spoke, he threw a fist and sighed, "With so much silver, he doesn't dare to guarantee that it will be done." ”
He thought that Lin Yu would comfort him a few words, but he didn't want Lin Yu to say, "I know a noble person in the capital, although the other party doesn't have much real power, but he has a wide range of contacts, maybe there is a way, you see?" ”
"Really?" The old man of the Zhang family was pleasantly surprised, "Who is he, can he keep my son's name?" ”
"I think if she really wants to do it, she will definitely be able to keep the name of your son. But I can't guarantee if she's willing to take this troubled water. Lin Yu told the truth, "If you want, I can help you write a letter of recommendation." ”
"Miss Lin said quickly, if you can keep my son's name, Zhang will definitely be grateful for your great kindness." The old man of the Zhang family suddenly became excited.
"It's easy to do, you go back first, I'll write it and ask someone to send it over." Lin Yu nodded and smiled, "God has the virtue of a good life, and it is not troublesome." ”
"Then thank you, Miss Lin." The old man of the Zhang family was almost in tears with excitement, and thanked him several times. Then he was so shocked by Lin Yu's news that he forgot to mention the sale of land, saying that he would not delay Lin Yu to write a letter and leave quickly.
Xiaobai didn't interject just now, and asked curiously at this time, "Did you decide not to ask my sister's opinion first?" ”
"Actually, I don't need to ask her opinion about this matter at all, the reason why I asked Brother Tang Jie to mention this matter to Sister Su Su is just so that she has a number." Lin Yu explained, "The decision on this matter is always up to Sister Su Su herself, the Zhang family took a letter of recommendation, and if Sister Su Su thinks it is inappropriate, she refuses." ”
Bai Fei thought about it, it is true that the Zhang family will never publicize this matter, as long as he quietly comes to the door with a letter of recommendation, and looks at Yin Susu's attitude. If Yin Susu thinks that this matter is not suitable and does not agree, it will not have any impact on her.
"Miss Yu is right, this matter will not have a bad impact on Madame in any way. Miss Yu is still very thoughtful. Yin He over there also spoke.
"Not to mention the problem of cracking down on political opponents, 100,000 taels of silver is a lot."
The three people inside the door discussed the matter, and the two people in the carriage outside the door were also discussing the matter. The old man of the Zhang family swept away the appearance of the honest rich man just now and became shrewd.
Zhao Dayi said hesitantly, "Are those two young people really reliable just now?" ”
"It's not reliable, try it." The old man of the Zhang family sighed, "I didn't tell the truth just now, do you know how much that soldier asks?" ”
"How much?" Zhao Dayi asked.
"One hundred and fifty thousand! Otherwise, I would have been forced to buy land! In this way, there is no guarantee that you will be able to save your big brother. If he weren't my only child, I'd love to leave him alone. has caused trouble since he was a child, which makes people worry, and he is really a wrongdoer in his previous life. ”
When the old man of the Zhang family mentioned his son, he was still reluctant to sigh continuously. "You see that people can't do it, these two young people have extraordinary temperaments, and there are many people who follow, they should be everyone's sons, at least they have some connections in the capital, but I don't know if the county lord of Lu Dao has that kind of ability. I asked someone to visit the Su family, he often does business in the capital, so let's inquire a little. ”
Yin Susu is naturally capable, not to mention this trivial matter, she even has the ability to know the content of the holy decree that will be issued soon. At this time, she was looking at a document with the content of a holy decree to be issued tomorrow, and with her deep character, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, which showed that the content of this holy decree satisfied her.
"Madam, don't look at this anymore, it's time for you to leave for the palace, and you have to teach the thirteenth princess and the eleventh prince homework." Jin He, who was beside her, saw that the time was almost up and reminded.
Yin Susu nodded, her red lips pursed slightly, and she restrained her smile, "Light a fire." ”
Jin He waved his hand and asked someone to come in with a brazier, Yin Susu personally tore up the documents, threw them into the fire and burned them, and watched the fiery tongue of fire burn all the documents into ashes before leaving.
She's still a very cautious person after all, and this persistence has saved her countless times in the past. Although Yin Susu is smart, she is not particularly good at intrigue and trickery, but she has an excellent view of the overall situation and accurate judgment and analysis, as well as a cautious and steady character, which allows her to smash countless conspiracies and tricks, and take every step solidly. This is also what Yu Wenji admires most about her, and even appreciates her stunning appearance.
This matter is the same, because she walks steadily, for this newly emerging Yin Tiancheng, even if there are any conspiracies, it is estimated that she will not be able to really hurt her.
However, Yin Susu is not worried, which does not mean that others do not have high hopes here.
Therefore, when the pilgrimage decree came down on the morning of the second day, not only the three princes did not expect it, but Yin Tiancheng, Lu Pingzhi and other three princes were dumbfounded. Most of the people in the imperial court were also taken aback.
The news quickly reached Zhang Wan'er's ears, and she overturned the table and said angrily, "You must have heard it wrong, this is impossible!" When pigs fly! Yin Susu should take great care of her younger brother! It is impossible to suppress! ”
