Chapter 351: Preparing for the Competition
"Is there anything wrong with Lord Yu?" Qin Shuyao has always maintained a superficial respect for this official rank assassin, and when he walked in, Qin Shuyao stood up and greeted him.
Lord Thorn Shi's expression was obviously stiff when he walked in, and seeing that things were almost over in the past few days, he had some things to deal with at home in his own house.
But when he returned, he learned that the guard had died in the prison, was hastily buried by Qin Shuyao, and announced that he had committed suicide in fear of crime.
His first reaction was that Qin Shuyao had done some tricks, but this matter was over, and after he came back, he also heard that Qin Shuyao had been doing something about food competitions recently.
Things seem to be getting weird, but in a way it's not strange.
Thorn Shi Yu Lixing had a very wonderful feeling, but he couldn't be sure if his feeling was right, so he wanted to test Qin Shuyao when he came back.
After entering Qin Shuyao's study, Yu Lixing looked in the direction of the table and saw that Qin Shuyao was looking at the few things that the government had to do every day, and he was a little relieved.
Originally, he was worried that Qin Shuyao would think that there was something strange about this matter, and it would take time and effort but not get any benefits, and it would even implicate them.
But now it seems that the state shepherd has put the case down, and he can finally be his own official with confidence.
"Lord Qin, you've really worked hard these past few days."
Thorn Shi's eyes only stayed on Qin Shuyao's desk for a moment, and then turned back to a smiling face.
"It's not hard, it's all I should do." Qin Shuyao replied very humbly, "Is the matter at Lord Thorn Shi's family dealt with?" ”
Yu Lixing nodded: "Yes, the affairs at home are finally done, I heard that the case went a little wrong in the end, I was a little worried, so I came to ask Lord Qin about the situation." ”
Speaking of that case, Qin Shuyao showed a regretful face, and stretched out his hand to signal Yu Lixing to sit down at the table: "Lord Yu, the time you left has given me a lot of headaches." ”
"Who would have thought that the suspect would actually kill himself in prison." Qin Shuyao looked rather angry and slapped the table.
"How did he kill himself with all the shackles in the prison that day?" Yu Lixing was very curious.
Qin Shuyao took out half a golden hairpin from the bookshelf on the side and handed it to Yu Lixing: "Lord Yu, please look at this, this should be left in the heavenly prison by the Xiyue girl." ”
Yu Lixing glanced down and found that it was indeed a woman's golden hairpin: "How can this golden hairpin be in a prison cell?" ”
"I suspect that the official didn't clean up when Miss Xiyue left." Qin Shuyao sighed, "I actually let the prisoner take advantage of the loophole and avoid the punishment of beheading on the street." ”
"I don't know how to explain to Master Yan until now." Qin Shuyao reached out and stroked his forehead.
Yu Lixing hadn't explained to Master Yan yet, so he was really anxious.
Now this situation is indeed very embarrassing, and Qin Shuyao doesn't know how to explain it, but this explanation must be explained, and it can't be avoided.
Obviously, Yu Lixing did not intend to take this risk personally.
"Lord Qin, you said that this case is over, you still have to explain to your family." Yu Lixing began to persuade Qin Shuyao to face Master Yan.
"Now the situation is peculiar, anyway, the prisoner is dead, Master Yan will definitely understand Lord Qin's good intentions."
Yu Lixing said righteous words, and Qin Shuyao didn't have a good way to refuse, so he had to put on a face of annoyance: "Okay." ”
"Then when I think about how to tell Master Yan." Qin Shuyao tapped the table with his knuckles, "Master Yu doesn't have to worry about this matter, I'll finish it." ”
"I hope that Lord Yu can help prepare for the food competition in a few days and welcome the Imperial Chef."
This request simply gave Yu Lixing a good opportunity to tie up with the imperial chef, and Yu Lixing agreed without saying a word, for fear that Qin Shuyao would regret it, so he turned around and left.
Seeing that after Yu Lixing went out, Qin Shuyao shook his head helplessly: "This official is a person in the government, his ability to handle cases is not good, and it is very powerful to rush to chase the horse in front of him." ”
After sending the people away, he no longer thought about what he was doing, but once again took out the iron dart and letter paper that had just shot into the window, and opened it to look at it.
At a glance and ten lines, Qin Shuyao saw it very quickly, and a smile appeared on his lips after reading it.
"It's really worthy of the prince's person." Qin Shuyao burned the letter paper and sighed in a low voice, "Now it's up to them to see when they get it." ”
"When things are completely ready, I should also set off and meet the master of the Yan family in person."
……
Lin Jinxiu has been putting the finishing touches on the gluttonous academy for the past two days, and because the competition is approaching, many people in the academy are also going to participate in the competition, and the atmosphere in the entire academy is a little tense.
After all, this competition will determine who can be a disciple under the Imperial Chef.
Moreover, the imperial chef in this capital is not retired like An Jiwen, but a person who serves the emperor by the emperor's side.
He represents the highest level of culinary skills in the entire Yan Kingdom, and is also the object that every chef in the Yan Kingdom yearns for.
Lin Jinxiu is no exception.
Especially after seeing the abilities of Zang Tong and An Jiwen, Lin Jinxiu realized that even if he was carrying the ingredients in the space, there was a big gap between him and these people.
And the fastest way to close this gap is to learn from others.
This competition was a turning point in Lin Jinxiu's fate.
Not only her own wishes, but she will also take Zang Tong, An Jiwen, and Huai Yanqing to climb to the peak step by step.
"Today you stay." Zang Tong said to Lin Jinxiu when everyone was doing their homework freely.
"Yes, Master." Lin Jinxiu's hands are non-stop, but his mouth should be very serious.
"Today is the last lesson to teach you." When Zang Tong said this, he seemed to be a little reluctant to mix in it.
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiu suddenly raised his head: "It's already the last class?" ”
It was only then that Lin Jinxiu realized that she had been in the academy for almost a month.
It seemed like the busiest month of her life.
And this busyness does not come from all kinds of chores around her, but a month of her efforts to improve herself.
After Zang Tong left, Lin Jinxiu looked at the crockpot in front of him that was cooking soup, and the fine bubbles made the lid sound vigorously.
What has she done this month?
Lin Jinxiu suddenly realized that she should make a summary at the end of the month.
Since she came to the state capital, from helping Qin Shuyao solve the case, to coming to gluttony to learn art, she has adapted to life here very quickly.
Although for various reasons, her space has not grown much.
But her growth this month is mainly due to her own craftsmanship, but also from the improved eyesight and nuanced thinking when helping those two men.
Only now does Lin Jinxiu dare to say that she is a real cook.
Similarly, only now did she really dare to say that she was Qin Shuyao's disciple.
After all, this doorman also has to have some skills, like the ancient times of the world that Lin Jinxiu is familiar with, even if the doorman only stands by the master's side because of his own brain, he is also famous.
Like Lin Jinxiu, who is just a little smart, he is not famous, he is a little transparent, he is a cook and has not yet become a chef, she is a guest of Qin Shuyao, and she herself is ashamed of Qin Shuyao.
Now, at least, she's the one who came out of the hands of the Imperial Chef's apprentice.
Lin Jinxiu closed her eyes and focused all her attention on the crockpot in front of her, listening to the sound of bubbles on the lid that were gradually breaking, Lin Jinxiu felt and experienced with her heart......
Time passed minute by minute, and she just stood still as if she had settled down.
In a situation where no one noticed, she suddenly opened her eyes, brought a piece of gauze to the palm of her hand at some point, pinched the lid of the crockpot, and lifted it.
The fragrance gushes out, Lin Jinxiu may be born with the talent to learn to cook, plus she is diligent and studious, and with the blessing of space, her achievements and progress are also visible to the naked eye.
The moment the lid in Lin Jinxiu's hand was lifted, the eyes of the audience converged on her.
"Little junior sister, come and give me a taste...... "First of all, the shameless Chutian boss came over and asked Lin Jinxiu for something to eat.
Lin Jinxiu stretched out his hand and pulled him away: "What to eat, I haven't handed in my homework yet!" ”
Handing in the homework is actually to let Zang Tong taste it, and he nodded, so as to prove that Lin Jinxiu passed today's homework.
"I take a bite and Master won't find out." Chu Tian obviously didn't eat Lin Jinxiu's set, so he fell in love with the pig's trotters in the pot.
Lin Jinxiu held the plate with the clay pot high: "You go away, can't you eat it when the master finishes eating?" ”
"Nope." Chu Tian reached out and grabbed the plate in Lin Jinxiu's hand, "I'll just eat a piece, and Master won't find out if I eat a piece." ”
"And the master hasn't come yet, when he comes, your soup will be cold!" Chu Tian said that this was simply a strong word.
Who knew that before the words were finished, Zang Tong appeared:
"Who says I didn't come? I'm coming. Chutian, go back to your own position, if you don't pass your homework for a while, you will look good tomorrow. ”
Although Chu Tian is usually a two-skinned face, he still respects his master very much, and when he heard Zang Tong say this, he sighed and was reluctant to give up, and walked towards his position step by step.
"This kid, when he sees food, he doesn't have any interest at all." Zang Tong seemed to be used to Chu Tian like this, and when he saw him come to eat, he smiled.
Lin Jinxiu looked at him helplessly: "Master, what are you still saying, it's all what you're used to." ”
Zang Tong raised his hand and scratched his head, smiling indulgently, but it disgusted Lin Jinxiu enough.
Chu Tian is just a greedy eater, and in terms of cooking skills, he is much higher than most people standing here.
It seems that if a foodie can cook, even if it is to satisfy his appetite for the tongue, he can make a hearty meal.
"Are you ready for the two-day competition?" Zang Tong finally returned to normal, picked up the small bowl that Lin Jinxiu had prepared for him, and gave himself a bowl of kelp pig's feet soup to drink.
Lin Jinxiu thought for a while before replying: "If you say you're ready, you're ready, and if you say you're not ready, you're really not ready." ”
