Lin Jiu didn't expect that Mrs. Lin could be so open-minded, the implication of this is that even if she is a dusty woman, she can accept it, and she didn't know what to respond to for a while, so she had to nod her head and agree, and then turned her head and changed the topic.

In fact, Lin Xianling, who had just gone out and had not gone far, stood at the corner of the verandah, listened carefully to the words of the two of them, and raised a level of understanding in his heart about his mother's eagerness to let him marry.

Lin Jiu returned in vain in the county government, so the renovation plan of Yihong Courtyard could not be decided for a while, she was worried about this, and the color of the dishes served on the table at night was not so bright, and the family felt Lin Jiu's boredom in this way.

After eating, Zhao took over the work of washing the dishes, and Zheng Jiadong, who has always been clever and well-behaved, took on the important task of comforting Lin Jiu: "Sister Lin, but is there something wrong with Yihong Courtyard?" ”

Since that day, Wu Qing came to pick up the girl with red makeup and went back, they knew Lin Jiu's intention to renovate Yihong Courtyard, so they saw Lin Jiu worried at this time, and the reason was undoubtedly him.

And Lin Jiu has always regarded Zheng Jiadong as a little adult, so he didn't avoid him, and directly told him all the difficulties he was encountering now: "You see now, Lord Lin doesn't want to help, what should I do." ”

Zheng Jiadong thought for a while, and really asked him to come up with a person to choose, the gentleman of their private school is Lu Xiucai, I heard that Lu Xiucai's family was also wealthy, but then it declined for some reason, so he only passed the examination and did not continue to take the exam.

With the little money he had left, he rented a room in a temple in the north of the town and set up a private school to enlighten the children in the town.

If you talk about knowledge, Lu Xiucai is not bad, as soon as Zheng Jiadong said this idea, Lin Jiu was happy, how could she forget this Lu Xiucai, but although she was happy, Lin Jiu also knew that such a scholar had always had a temper, just like Lin Xianling had such a good relationship with him, but he didn't want to express his opinion on this matter, it seemed that he had to think of a way.

She asked Zheng Jiadong about Lu Xiucai's preferences, and told him that Lin Jiu would pick him up when he got out of school tomorrow and visit Lu Xiucai by the way.

According to Zheng Jiadong, Lu Xiucai likes to eat chicken, of course, it is not an ordinary chicken, it must be the kind of loose foot chicken raised in the countryside and forests, and special cooking methods must be added, but in terms of cooking skills, it is not difficult for Lin Jiu.

When she and Zhao were driven out of the Lin family by Lin Hai, they temporarily lived in the bamboo forest, and she had caught pheasants in the depths of the bamboo forest.

Thinking of this, she went to the bamboo forest early in the morning to catch chickens the next day, back and forth, tossing for a small half a day before Lin Jiu hurried back, and came back without delay, the chicken was cleaned up and cut and stewed.

The chicken itself tastes delicious, Lin Jiu didn't add other ingredients, simmered for two hours, and saw that it was about to be the time for Zheng Jiadong to go to school, Lin Jiu put the chicken in a clay bowl, put it in a special insulated food box made in the boiled world, and added a few delicate snacks next to it, the taste was not very sweet, and it was just right with this chicken.

Remembering the agreement with Lin Jiu yesterday, Zheng Jiadong did not leave immediately after school, but sat on the seat and continued to review his homework, Lu Xiucai looked strange, and asked: "Zheng Jiadong, why don't you go home yet, but if you don't understand something, I can tell you about it." ”

Zheng Jiadong raised his head from the book, shook his head respectfully and said, "Thank you, sir, I understand, but yesterday my sister said that she would come to pick me up, so I sat here and waited for her for a while." ”

When Lu Xiucai heard this, he frowned: "You are so old, why do you need your family to pick you up." ”

Zheng Jiadong was afraid that saying anything more would disrupt Lin Jiu's plan, so he had to lower his eyebrows and hang his head to be trained, fortunately, Lin Jiu came quickly, in fact, Lin Jiu had already arrived, but just now the children were rushing out, she was afraid that she would squeeze into the chickens in the food box, so she stood in the open space next to her to avoid the children who got out of school, and waited for her to disperse before she came.

Hearing Lu Xiucai reprimand Zheng Jiadong, she hurriedly raised her voice to stop her: "Mr. Lu, you are wrong to blame Jiadong, in the past, Jiadong is always the one who comes and goes to and from school by himself, today I have to let him wait for me here, I am looking for Mr. You have something." ”

Seeing this, Zheng Jiadong pushed aside, Lu Xiucai had already heard of this rising star in the business world of Heishui Town, and had also heard that she had become famous from the Lin family from the family tree, and he didn't know what such a deviant girl could be to find herself.

But before he could ask, his eyes fell on the food box that Lin Jiu was carrying, which was also Lin Jiu's caution, and when he just walked in, he secretly lifted a corner of the food box to let the fragrance inside overflow.

Seeing that he had successfully attracted Lu Xiucai's attention, Lin Jiu was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward, Zheng Jiadong followed behind her with a look in his eyes, cleaned up his desk, and helped Lin Jiu with vegetables: "Mr. Lu, you have been in class for a day, you must be tired at this time, why don't you try my craft." ”

"No need, if Miss Lin has something important, please say it quickly, Lu has to rush back to feed the chickens."

No one expected that Lu Xiucai's excuse for refusing would be so down-to-earth, Lin Jiu was surprised for a moment, so he was busy managing his emotions and handed over the dishes and chopsticks again.

Feeding the chickens is important, but eating the chickens is equally important, so it is better for you to taste the chickens I made first, and then decide whether you want to leave. ”

"Yes, teacher, just try it, Sister Lin's cooking is delicious." Zheng Jiadong also followed aside.

Lu Xiucai, who wanted to leave directly, couldn't compete with the tempting fragrance, so he had to nod expressionlessly, but he only took one bite and put down the dishes and chopsticks. Lin Jiu was startled when she saw this, could it be that what she made was not delicious, shouldn't it, she had tasted it when she left, the taste of this chicken was very delicious, and it largely retained the original taste of the chicken.

Before Lin Jiu fell into self-doubt, Lu Xiucai opened his mouth first: "Miss Lin's dish is really good, but Lu Mou is not taking advantage of others for no reason, if you have any requirements, just put it forward first, and Lu Mou can decide whether this dish can continue to eat." ”

Hearing this, Lin Jiu and Zheng Jiadong glanced at each other, and when they saw Zheng Jiadong nodding, Lin Jiu cautiously said his thoughts.

"I would like to ask Mr. Lu for a design drawing,"

Lu Xiucai frowned slightly after hearing this, and his face became serious when he looked at Lin Jiu, it turned out that after Lin Jiu made an agreement with Zheng Jiadong yesterday, he asked Ling Shangge's people to investigate Lu Xiucai.

In fact, she just wanted to carefully grasp Lu Xiucai's preferences, and she also liked it, but she didn't expect to find out unexpectedly that Lu Xiucai had studied under Jiangnan Shisheng, who was a person who arranged gardens, and the decorations in Luodu Palace City were all from Jiangnan Shisheng.

"Please don't blame Mr. for this." Lin Jiu smiled lightly and looked at Lu Xiucai's scrutinizing gaze, "Presumably, the recent turmoil in Yihong Courtyard has reached Mr. Lu's ears, I can't hide it, the design I asked you for this time is for Yihong Courtyard, I want to help those girls, and ask Mr. to fulfill it." ”

"If the girl wants to do good deeds, she just has to go by herself, and she has to pull Lu to do something." With that, Lu Xiucai got up and left.

Lin Jiu didn't stop him, but looked at Zheng Jiadong anxiously: "Sister Lin, why don't you stop Mr., everyone is far away." ”

Hearing his words, Lin Jiu still smiled, and was not in a hurry, but sat down, took out two other pairs of chopsticks from the food box, and handed them to Zheng Jiadong: "Since Mr. doesn't eat, then don't waste me all the way to bring it over, let's go back after the two of us finish eating." ”

But the two of them had just eaten, and suddenly heard a little noise outside the door, and in Zheng Jiadong's surprised gaze, Lu Xiucai walked in embarrassedly, but the person sat directly next to Lin Jiu without changing his face, picked up the pair of chopsticks he had just used and ate it.

After stabbing for a while, he met Zheng Jiadong's curious eyes that had been looking at him, and said, "I have changed my mind, I can help you draw the design, of course, you have to cook this dish for me every few days." ”

After hearing this, Lin Jiu almost jumped up happily, she nodded at Lu Xiucai and said, "Sir, don't worry, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but I will definitely satisfy you with this cooking." ”
