Chapter 387: Deliver food in person
Lin Jinxiu sighed.
"Don't talk about him." Zang Tong shook his head and beckoned to his apprentices, "Today, your senior sister came over and brought you something to eat, aren't you going to show your hand to your senior sister!" β
In the greeting of everyone, Lin Jinxiu spent a very happy morning.
At noon, when she came out of the gluttonous school, the things in her hands were not only not less at all, but even a little more, very heavy.
"I don't have to cook anymore when I go back......" Lin Jinxiu walked in the direction of home, but as she walked, she actually came to the mansion.
On weekdays, I ask Huai Yanqing to help bring some to Qin Shuyao at dinner, but today since I have already got food and people are here again, it is better to send it to Qin Shuyao myself.
Anyway, it hasn't been a day or two since the news that she Lin Jinxiu was Qin Shuyao's guest came out.
So Lin Jinxiu walked to the door of the government with the food box in his hand, and sure enough, he was stopped at the door.
"Stop! Who? The officer at the gate of the yamen had a serious face, but when he saw Lin Jinxiu, he suddenly paused, "Wait, you are the ...... in the God of Food Competition."
Lin Jinxiu smiled: "That's right, it's me." β
"Miss Lin, what is the matter with you coming to the mansion?" The officer asked.
Since they both knew who they were, it was easy to explain, and she opened the food box she had in hand and gave them two pieces of snacks.
"The two adults should also know that I am Lord Qin's disciple." Lin Jinxiu explained, "Uncle Chen, Lord Qin's housekeeper today, has something to do, so please ask me to bring some lunch to Lord Qin." β
The two servants glanced at each other, took the food box in Lin Jinxiu's hand and checked it, but they didn't see anything strange, and Lin Jinxiu, a weak woman, couldn't make any waves, so she let her in.
"Thank you both." Lin Jinxiu's eyes smiled crookedly.
"This Lin girl said that she was a guest of Lord Qin, but ......"
"Miss Lin is the same age as Lord Qin, and she looks so beautiful, maybe she ......"
The gossip hearts of the two suddenly rose, but they didn't know that Lin Jinxiu was really here to deliver food.
Under the leadership of an errand officer of the Yamen, Lin Jinxiu came to Qin Shuyao's study, she had secretly written down the way, and she would not have to be taken by someone when she came back in the future.
knocked on the door, and Lin Jinxiu heard a familiar voice: "Come in." β
Lin Jinxiu opened the door and walked in: "Brother Yao, it's been a few days~"
Qin Shuyao, who was originally reading the paperwork, suddenly raised his head: "Why are you?" β
Lin Jinxiu put the food box in his hand on the table: "I went to the school in the morning, and I happened to pass by on the way back, so I thought about bringing some food to Lord Qin." β
Today, the food brought by Lin Jinxiu is more miscellaneous, and it has not been well matched, but there are many types, and it is full of food boxes.
It was rare for Lin Jinxiu to come here, and Qin Shuyao also put down the things in his hand.
"Taste this." Lin Jinxiu handed Qin Shuyao a bun, "This is made by my master, it must be better than the rest......"
Qin Shuyao ate quickly, obviously he didn't eat at noon, and Lin Jinxiu was very glad that he came over now.
"What's going on now?" Lin Jinxiu poured Qin Shuyao a cup of tea and asked about the case by the way.
It is definitely not a trivial matter for the enemy country to spy on it, and Qin Shuyao also suspects that the official government has been infiltrated, not only has to guard against many people, but also has to act like he is in the same stream with them, it is really not easy.
"After my investigation, there is now a slight suspicion." Qin Shuyao knew that Lin Jinxiu was also very concerned about this case, so he lowered his voice and replied to her, "It's the Chen family in the restaurant business in the state capital." β
The Chen family in the restaurant business? Lin Jinxiu sighed in her heart.
The Chen family of this restaurant business, could it be Chen Hongyi's family?
In Lin Jinxiu's impression, it seems that only Senior Brother Chen's family is in the restaurant business and is surnamed Chen.
"Does this Chen family have a son named Chen Hongyi?" Lin Jinxiu looked at Qin Shuyao with a worried face, "If it's this one, I really have an acquaintance ......."
Huai Yanqing asked her to pay attention to her senior brother, is there also this factor?
"This is it." Qin Shuyao said, "There is only one son in that family, and his name is Chen Hongyi. β
Lin Jinxiu couldn't be sure, but since he had both said it...... I still pay special attention to it, so as not to involve the senior brother in irrelevant people.
"He's in the same race as me, so I'll help you keep an eye on him."
Lin Jinxiu sighed: "Seeing my senior brother being forced like this by his family, no one is comfortable. β
"Do you sympathize with him?" Qin Shuyao asked.
"Sympathy is not counted, he is pitiful in himself, but he has disturbed the normal life of other people many times because of his obsession, whether it is Master, or his fiancΓ©e, or I who has been harassed by him several times, he is sorry for all of them."
Lin Jinxiu saw it very clearly, in order to make up for the sins he had suffered over the years, Chen Hongyi not only chose the wrong path, but also hurt other people, which was naturally undesirable.
"If he can repent, maybe I really want to help him, because my unlucky father and mother have always wanted to control me in the palm of their hands."
Lin Jinxiu was a little devastated when she said this, but she had already used the right method to escape, and even found her own place and found her own value.
"Then the information from Chen Hongyi's side will be handed over to Miss Lin." Between the conversations between the two, Qin Shuyao finally ate the food in front of him, seeing that Lin Jinxiu had also stayed here for a while, if it was too long, it would be inevitable to be gossiped about, so he said, "Miss Lin, go back first." β
Lin Jinxiu put the tableware on the table back into the food box and planned to go home to clean it: "Okay, then I'll go back first, it's not good if it's misunderstood as Brother Yao's daughter-in-law." β
Qin Shuyao sneered: "If you misunderstand like this, maybe Brother Huai will secretly eat the food you made for me, and want to starve me to death." β
Lin Jinxiu raised her eyebrows and was happy, this is indeed something that Huai Yanqing can do.
"But it's better to misunderstand them." Qin Shuyao said again, "If they misunderstand that you are my wife and attack you, I will have enough legitimate reasons to remove them from their posts if I guarantee that Brother Huai can protect you." β
"Good idea." Although it was said that she was using her as bait, Lin Jinxiu still felt that it was a good idea, because Qin Shuyao was not the only one by her side.
There are many people who can protect her, and if she can help Qin Shuyao solve these troubles under the condition of ensuring safety, it is understandable to be a bait.
Besides, this bait is not the first time that Lin Jinxiu has been a bait.
"Then I'll go first." Lin Jinxiu wiped the table clean and went out with the food box, "Lord Qin, you must pay attention to rest, you must eat, remember to drink water, so as not to get tired and sick." β
"Okay, I got it." Qin Shuyao agreed quickly, as for whether he listens or not, it's up to him.
When Lin Jinxiu went out, he happened to bump into an official who came here to find Qin Shuyao, and after he saw Lin Jinxiu, he was surprised to see her leave before entering the door.
"What's the matter?" The person who came was a stab at Shi Yu Lixing.
"Lord Qin, that female ...... just now"
Yu Lixing was interrupted by Qin Shuyao before he finished speaking: "Lord Yu, this official thinks it's better for you not to inquire about other people's private affairs." β
"Yes, please forgive me." Hearing Qin Shuyao's words, Yu Lixing understood, although what he understood was wrong.
Yu Lixing came this time just to report some daily situations to Qin Shuyao, he didn't expect to get such important information.
After Yu Lixing went out, he snorted coldly: "I know your weaknesses, and when you have the opportunity, you will definitely not be able to turn over!" β
Lin Jinxiu couldn't have imagined that after obtaining his consent, Qin Shuyao actually took the opportunity to start this plan.
Now Lin Jinxiu is full of Chen Hongyi's affairs.
If Chen Hongyi really betrayed, how sad would the master be, his proud protΓ©gΓ© actually became a pawn of the enemy country, is it because he has no way to teach, or is this person's nature like this?
At least Lin Jinxiu felt that Zang Tong would definitely condemn himself with guilt.
What's going on......
Lin Jinxiu shook her head and went back to the Qin Mansion to see the child.
Early the next morning.
Due to the early schedule of the competition, Lin Jinxiu also got up early, ready to watch his senior brother's competition.
When she arrived at the competition, she found that there were really a lot of people here, and the two contestants had already arrived here, preparing their own ingredients and cooking utensils on the high platform, waiting for the start of the competition.
Lin Jinxiu hid himself in the crowd, so as not to be seen by Chen Hongyi and make him think more.
She also saw Huai Yanqing, he was obviously not interested in this competition, but it was he who took Qin Shuyao's place, and it would be a bit embarrassing if he didn't come.
She walked back and forth in the crowd, using her petite stature to find a good place to watch, not only to see clearly, but also to smell the scent in their hands.
After all, a good chef can tell what's in the food by its smell.
Soon, the game began.
Chen Hongyi, as always, followed the rich style he is better at, and occupied the sense of smell of the audience from the very beginning of the game.
The first group of questions is very simple, that is, to make a dish with poultry, whether it is chicken, duck, goose or quail, as long as it can be found.
Chen Hongyi chose chickens, and they are roosters in the prime of life, this kind of chicken is generally relatively solid, and once it is not done well, there is a possibility of firewood.
So Lin Jinxiu also wanted to know what he wanted to do with this rooster.
However, in the process of Chen Hongyi's processing, she suddenly smelled a familiar smell.
It seems to be the smell coming from the sauce made by Chen Hongyi, she always feels that she has smelled it somewhere, and this smell is very special.
"Chef Chen's sauce tastes so good!"
Lin Jinxiu heard someone in the crowd sigh.
"That's right, I've never smelled this fragrance before, could it be that Chef Chen has researched a new secret recipe?"
Lin Jinxiu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Chen Hongyi's new formula researched, why does she feel a little familiar?
She furrowed her brow and sniffled vigorously, thinking back to where she had smelled it.
