"What's the matter?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at Hui Gan, then looked at Liang Jin, and asked suspiciously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ahh Liang Jin remembered.

"What's going on?" Aftertaste frowned and asked warily.

Everyone looked at Liang Jin suspiciously.

"I don't know where the Kosi delegation learned that Liang Du was holding a chef competition, and they said that they wanted to have a friendly match with our country at the state banquet." Liang Jin replied slowly.

"Friendlies?" I was stunned for a while.

Su Miao looked at Liang Jin suspiciously, waiting for him to explain.

According to Liang Jin, during the state exchanges between Kosi and Yueliang, the two countries will hold some exhibition matches, such as military drills, new weapons displays, cultural exchange activities, etc., although it is only to show the country's style, the exhibition match is not based on victory or defeat, but the purpose of this is actually to show their own strength while deterring the other party, so that the other party does not think about their own country.

It was such an exchange opportunity that Kosi proposed to send a chef from each side to perform a cooking show at the state banquet.

Kosi is a country with a long history, and they have a food culture that they can be proud of, although I don't know if they made such a request to make the atmosphere of the state banquet more relaxed and conducive to negotiations, or if they had other plans, in short, they proposed a new way of communication on the national letter, and Yue Liang Guo could not refuse.

"Why should I go?" Su Miaohu asked suspiciously.

"If it is to show the food culture of Yueliang Kingdom, there are many imperial chefs in the palace, but this time the delegation of Kosi said that it is difficult for the two sides to make a state banquet with the unique ingredients of Kosi. Kexi Country is different from Yue Liang Country, even if it is an imperial kitchen, there are many ingredients in Kexi Country that they have not seen, and the imperial chefs in the palace are all following the rules, so it is not suitable for them to do it, Lord Jiang thought about it, and thought that it was more reliable for you to do it, and he said that you are very good at creating new things. Hui Gan explained.

"Lord Jiang?" Su Miao flattened her mouth, and the stinky old man looked for her again, "I've never done a state banquet." She rubbed her lips and said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, it's just a cheering show, it's better to win, it's okay to lose." Liang Jin comforted and said with a smile, "After you win, you will be rewarded with good things, just tell the emperor what you want, let him reward you." ”

"I don't want anything." Su Miao pursed her eyebrows and said.

Liang Jin smiled: "You are sincere, let Weiwei do it for you when the time comes!" ”

"Is Xiao Weiwei going to the state banquet too?" Su Miao turned her head and asked about the aftertaste.

"He's going to go, so I'll take him with me." Without waiting for an aftertaste to answer, Liang Jin said first.

Aftertaste glanced at him.

"The ingredients of Corsi, what is that?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.

"I heard my mother say that the people of Kosi actually love to eat snails the most, it's unimaginable, it's disgusting!" Hui Gan frowned, disgusted with authenticity.

"Snails?" Su Miao was stunned for a moment, looked at Hui Xiang, and asked in surprise, "Has Madame been to Kosi?" ”

"Went once when I was younger." Hui Xiang replied lightly.

"That lady must have eaten Corsi food, what kind of food do they eat?" Su Miao immediately sat down next to Hui Xiang and asked with interest.

"She seems to be very interested!" Hui Gan saw that Su Miao rarely showed a curious expression, raised his eyebrows, and said to Huiwei.

Aftertaste ignored him.

There is a reason why Su Miao will be interested, although she can cook Chinese food, and has been a Yue Liang chef in Yue Liang Country for many years, but she actually focuses on Western cuisine, but unfortunately what she focuses on is useless in Yue Liang Country. When she first heard about Kosi, she thought that the people of Kosi looked a bit like modern Europeans, and maybe the food culture was similar to the Western style, and if that was the case, it would be interesting, and she wanted to know what Western food was like in this era.

"I haven't been in Kosi for a long time, I just know a rough idea, their food is mainly pasta and potatoes, grilled and fried are the majority, and they use more beef, and what is more surprising is that they like to use a lot of wolf peaches and cow dairy products, and then snails, I have seen them make snails, but I have never eaten them."

"Speaking of wolf peaches, I heard that Xiao Miao'er also likes to use wolf peaches when cooking." Hui Gan said with a smile.

"Who said that?" Su Miao asked in surprise.

"What Master Jiang said." Hui Gan replied with a smile.

"How would Lord Jiang know?" Su Miaohu said suspiciously.

"I heard that Tong Ran told him." Hui Gan said with a grin.

Su Miao's face darkened and she was dumbfounded, speaking of which, she hadn't seen Tong Ran's narcissistic stupid for a long time, since she came to Liangdu, she was so busy that she almost forgot about Tong Ran in the back of her head. Tong Ran's game is going well, and according to the current situation, it is not surprising that he will probably be able to reach the finals.

"I don't have an assistant anymore, one assistant has gone home, the other one is useless, and the other one is old and stubborn, and it will definitely not work compared to Corsi."

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang will arrange the right people for you, and this time, Lord Jiang will fully assist you."

"When?" Su Miao asked.

"Tomorrow night."

"So fast?" Su Miao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Do you still need to prepare for ten days and a half months?" Hui Gan asked with a grin.

"Not really."

"If you're fine, don't go back today, the clothes you need to use tomorrow will be sent here directly, and tomorrow you will leave from Huixianglou." Hui Gan said.

"No, Miao'er has something to do later, I'll go back with her in a while." Without waiting for Su Miao to refuse, Huiwei said it for her first.

At this moment, Iwayuki came in from outside and whispered:

"Lord, madam, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang has arrived!"

Liang Jin nodded.

After a while, Liang Xiao came in from the outside, and when he passed by the door, he was too tall because the door frame was too low, and he didn't pay attention, his head hit the door frame, and he rubbed his red forehead and walked in.

"It's not the first time you've been here, and you're not used to the height of this door frame?" Hui Gan said with a grin.

"I'm in a bit of a hurry." Liang Xiao smiled shyly, probably hurting, he rubbed his forehead vigorously, and glanced at Su Miao and Huiwei, "Ah Wei is back, Miss Su is also here!" ”

Aftertaste just nodded, and Su Miao saluted according to the rules.

Liang Xiao smiled, stepped forward, respectfully greeted Liang Jin, and called:

"Eighth uncle, eighth aunt."

"You kid, yesterday I sent someone to your house to look for you, and it turned out that you went to Lao Jiu?" Liang Jin asked with a smile.

"Yes, I stayed at Lao Jiu's house yesterday, Lao Jiu and the second brother had a bit of a dispute recently, I went to persuade him." Liang Xiao smiled and replied softly.

"Dispute?" Liang Jin raised his eyebrows.

"Yang Lin's business. Yang Shangshu has this one son, his only son is gone, he feels sad, and he always blames the second brother a little. The second sister-in-law is even more ill because her younger brother is gone, and the imperial doctor said that it is difficult to say whether she can survive this winter. At the mention of this, Liang Xiao couldn't help but sigh, and his face was dyed with a little sadness.

"That's it." Liang Jin didn't continue to ask, but just answered lightly.

Liang Xiao smiled.

As the most famous restaurant in Yueliang country, Huixianglou was built in Liangdu, and it undertook the work of receiving foreign missions, after all, the architectural quality and gorgeous decoration of Huixianglou are one in a hundred.

Su Miao said that she wanted to see the mission of Kosi, so she took her to the private room with the best view in Huixianglou, the two sat in front of the window, and he handed her a lookout glass.

In the process of waiting, Su Miao was bored, thought about it, and asked back the taste:

"Just now King Xiang said that Princess Wu is not very good, what is Princess Wu's illness?"

"I don't know much, but I heard that she is getting fatter and fatter after giving birth, and at first I thought she was eating too much, but then I thought she should be a disease, but I don't know what it is. Because she was too fat, her body was getting worse and worse. ”

Su Miao probably understood, that is to say, after giving birth to a child, for some reasons, the biggest possibility is pathological obesity caused by endocrine disorders, because the body is obese, resulting in damage to all aspects of functioning, but unfortunately there is no such thing as obesity in this era, and diseases such as hypertension caused by obesity are terminal diseases in this era.

"How many children are there in the Martial King?"

"One son and two daughters, the eldest daughter is already married, and the younger daughter is about to get engaged, but as for the son, it has not been very good. He is also unlucky enough, just this one son, who is also the first male grandson of the Liang family, was born with congenital deficiencies and may die at any time. ”

It is indeed unlucky, Su Miao nodded, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the music downstairs, and the mission of the Kingdom of Corsi finally appeared, Su Miao immediately picked up the lookout and pointed it at the front of the window.

The Kosi Mission, together about three or four hundred men, formed a majestic phalanx, with cavalry at the front and infantry at the back, all black soft armor and dark cloaks, and the horses were very strong horses, and although the armor was made of iron, it looked very light. A large number of infantry in the back, each holding a dangerous arquebus in their hands, marched forward with a majestic step. Tall and burly, like a mountain like a tower, just the height can kill many soldiers of Yue Liang Kingdom in seconds, they have the natural advantage of the human race, the complexion is snow-white, the hair is obvious, the red hair is naturally curly, the body is strong, all look like orangutans in clothes, the muscles are knotted, awe-inspiring and mighty, but the expressionless face is written with the iron-blooded killing aura that only belongs to the soldiers, from these details it can be seen that the military power of the Corsi country is very strong, so that people dare not despise it, At the same time, they can also sense the sense of threat and danger of their neighbors.

At the forefront, the man who was not wearing armor but riding on a horse, and who looked very noble in his gorgeous clothes was probably the royal family of Corsi, the man was wearing a loose tunic and breeches, and the woman was wearing a long skirt with a wide hem and a hat full of bright feathers, these two people were probably the princes and princesses of Corsi.

Because the distance was too far and the quality of the goggles was not very good, Su Miao could only see the general outline of those people, and was a little disappointed.

The people led by the king of Xiang were already waiting there, and when they saw that the prince of Kosi had arrived, they greeted him with a smile.

The prince of Kosi seemed to know the king of Xiang, and when he saw that it was him, he immediately jumped off his horse, stepped forward, and greeted each other in a friendly manner.

Su Miao was slightly stunned and asked in surprise:

"Why does King Xiang speak Kosi Chinese? He seemed to know the prince. ”

"There was a missionary from Kosi in the palace before, and the king of Xiang followed him to learn a rough idea, and then he studied a lot by himself according to the books left by the missionary, and he represented Yue Liang on behalf of Kosi and did a good job. Speaking of the princes, King Xiang is the best one in Shunian. ”

"Huh? I thought the prince was the best to study. ”

"The prince reads 'benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith' is the best, the king of Xiang is the most outstanding, the king of Xiang does not have his own set of rules like the prince, the king of Xiang reads any book, he is a famous miscellaneous school in the capital of Liang." Aftertaste took a sip of tea and replied.

Su Miao became more and more surprised, it turned out that King Xiang was so powerful.

After the Kosi delegation stayed in Huixiang Building, Su Miao went back with Huiwei. Su Miao was not in a hurry to go back to Liangdu, the way back to Xianglou to Liangdu was built by the rich people of Liangdu Zhuangzi or other courtyards, Lin Yan's dowry Zhuangzi was on this road, Su Miao planned to go and see her. Since Lin Yan moved back to Zhuangzi with the child, Su Miao has not taken the time to visit her, and it just so happens that she is fine today, and she plans to visit her by the way.

Lin Yan's Zhuangzi is the dowry given by her mother's family, the Lin family's family background is not rich, and the dowry Zhuangzi is naturally not gorgeous and extravagant, the location is remote, although it has a hundred acres of land, the harvest is not very good. Fortunately, the population is not large, the house is quite elegant and clean, Lin Yan does not pay much attention to living with her children, and she is comfortable living here.

The carriage stopped in front of the closed black lacquer gate, and as soon as Su Miao jumped out of the carriage, he saw a person and a horse standing quietly at the gate of the Lin Mansion, which looked very eye-catching.

"Big, big?" Su Miao was stunned, her eyes widened, and she looked at Liang Min who was standing at the door.

Liang Min didn't expect someone to come to visit Lin Yan at this time, he was slightly stunned, turned around, and saw that it was Su Miaohe and aftertaste, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

"Didn't let you in?" Su Miaohu asked suspiciously.

The scathing question made Liang Min's embarrassment pop up again, and he replied stiffly:

"I just stopped by to take a look."

As he spoke, he ignored Su Miaohe and his aftertaste, led the horse, turned around, and left.

"......" Su Miaomu sent his back away, it turned out that he came but didn't go in, "It seems that he still can't accept raising a child who is not his own." ”

"If you can't give birth and still want it, you should accept your fate, like his mother-in-law and mother-in-law, women are happier than him!" Aftertaste snorted, looking down on the authentic.

Su Miao didn't have a good idea of what to say about this kind of thing, so she didn't pay attention to Liang Min's matter anymore and went up to call the door.

Lin Yan quickly greeted her, and Su Miao was very happy to see her.

Su Miao took her hand, looked at her eyes and observed her, and found that she was much more radiant than before, no longer introverted and sentimental, after a greeting she began to tell Su Miao how Xiaoyou was, as soon as Xiaoyou was mentioned, her eyebrows fluttered and her spirit was flying, which was happy and happy from the heart.

"Xiaoyou will call her mother last night!" Lin Yan happily said to Su Miao, "Babbling at me and calling 'mother, mother', my heart almost melted!" This child has finally gained some weight, I have been worried that she is thin and easy to get sick, but fortunately there is nothing wrong with her now, Lang Zhong said that she is very healthy, I am finally relieved.
