Chapter 552: If it's for you
For the first time, Lin Jinxiu was invited to discuss the reward as a guest secretary.
She went with Huai Yanqing.
"Looks like you're going to be busy for the rest of the day." Huai Yanqing's mood seemed to be quite relaxed, "Do you know, because of the banquet you prepared in the army last time, there were many people who wanted you to preside over it." β
"Yes." Since Lin Jinxiu became a guest, she finally changed back into the light Luo skirt she wore on weekdays, "Then it's okay, I don't mind." β
No matter how she said it, she was also a small boss in her previous life, and the shopkeeper of a restaurant in her current life, so she naturally wouldn't be able to do such a trivial thing badly.
Since Huai Yanqing came back, Lin Jinxiu's whole person has been a little more relaxed, and her smile has increased, as if she has returned to her previous appearance.
However, Huai Yanqing could see that Lin Jinxiu was still a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he couldn't understand it even if he scratched his head.
The place of discussion was in the official mansion, and the person in charge found a relatively large room to ensure that all the people in charge of the three armed forces could be accommodated.
After all, the scope of the reward this time is not just one army, and there are still many people who need to contribute in order to make everyone have fun.
When Huai Yanqing and Lin Jinxiu arrived at the place, the people were almost there, and there were four seats in the middle of the room, one of which was sitting Zhu Hongyu, and opposite Zhu Hongyu was a middle-aged officer who Lin Jinxiu had not seen.
The top seat is naturally reserved for Huai Yanqing.
Originally, Lin Jinxiu was still looking at where there was the quietest place in the whole room that could make her unobtrusive, but who knew that Huai Yanqing actually took her straight to the main seat in the middle, and after she sat down, she motioned for Lin Jinxiu to sit in the remaining seat.
Lin Jinxiu pointed to herself in disbelief, so many people were standing, this seat was actually for himself?
Zhu Hongyu smiled at Lin Jinxiu cordially, waved her hand and asked her to come over quickly, but before Lin Jinxiu could react, she was pulled to the seat by Zhu Hongyu and sat side by side with her.
Lin Jinxiu's identity as a guest also gave Zhu Hongyu a lot of opportunities to get close to Lin Jinxiu, and the two girls finally had a reason to get together.
"Now that you're all here, let's get started." As the highest-ranking person here, Huai Yanqing clapped his hands to silence everyone and began to officially enter the discussion.
"Since this is the largest advance of our army in three years, this time we not only protected Xianglin City, but also gave the enemy a fierce counterattack, everyone present, every soldier under our hands has made great contributions."
Huai Yanqing began to politely say that there was a reason for treating the three armies this time, and the sentences he said were obviously carefully written, and after a few sentences, he praised the group of people around him in a daze, his face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of feelings for the army.
As the compiler of Huai Yanqing's speech, Lin Jinxiu shrank her neck and did not dare to speak.
Huai Yanqing finished boasting, and the next thing is to be responsible for the division of labor.
"First of all, we set the time for the evening in three days' time." Huai Yanqing began to arrange the time and place, "Before that, each team must ensure that the materials are sufficient, and if there is a need to add them, they must be reported, understand?" β
There was a uniform response from below.
Lin Jinxiu kept watching with her cheeks raised, and she didn't have a chance to speak.
In addition to the proper preparation of food and wine, the most important thing is the safety of the city.
In order to allow everyone to eat food and drink fine wine, Huai Yanqing proposed to adopt a shift system for vigilance, and it would not make the soldiers resentful.
The next thing is the link that Lin Jinxiu doesn't understand at all, that is, for the arrangement of the guard team, in the south and north of the city, the patrol team has not been removed, and even the layout in the city is as before.
Lin Jinxiu noticed that in this room, in addition to the people wearing official uniforms and armor, there were several people wearing ordinary cloth clothes, which were obviously representatives of the people in the city.
In addition to the kitchen of the three armies that Lin Jinxiu wants to bring, the major restaurants in the city will also help, and this time hundreds of chefs gathered to participate.
Lin Jinxiu was also given a heavy responsibility this time, whether it was about food or general arrangement, the place she was in charge of was mainly people with relatively high status like Huai Yanqing and Zhu Hongyu.
If they can be satisfied, this time the three armies will be regarded as a real success.
Fortunately, Lin Jinxiu is familiar with Huai Yanqing, and she has had dinner with Zhu Hongyu again, so she roughly grasps her preferences, and now it is what the rest of the people eat.
So, after the meeting, Lin Jinxiu took out his small notebook, casually borrowed a pen in the government and began to prepare what he was about to do.
Three days of preparation time, not too much, no less, Lin Jinxiu intends to treat this reward action with the most serious attitude, which is also a test of his strength to a certain extent.
Seeing her team of cooks and familiar with the location and ingredients, Huai Yanqing was right, she was indeed busy.
It wasn't until the evening that Lin Jinxiu had time to rest, but she was still thinking about her menu when she was free, and she had no intention of resting at all.
Fortunately, now that she has her own tent, Amin has lit a lamp on the table, and she has been scribbling on the paper with the light on.
"Miss Lin-" Huai Yanqing's voice came from the door, and he didn't say hello, he walked in directly from the door, "This king is hungry......"
Lin Jinxiu didn't raise his head: "When you are hungry, you ordered someone to bring you food, what did you do when you came to me?" β
Huai Yanqing didn't answer, and was directly tired of Lin Jinxiu's side: "Of course I want to eat what you made." β
"Nothing." Lin Jinxiu did not stop writing and painting in his hand, but he wrote the words "Huai Yanqing" without any warning.
Huai Yanqing glanced at Ah Ming, who was standing next to him, and the kid left the tent with great discernment, leaving a separate space for the two of them.
"It's ugly." This is not the first time Huai Yanqing has disliked the ugliness of Lin Jinxiu's handwriting, but Lin Jinxiu has always been proud of being not ashamed and has never cared.
Lin Jinxiu threw the pen in his hand to Huai Yanqing: "Come, you write one for me to see, I haven't seen you write for a long time." β
Huai Yanqing was also very cooperative, took the pen and wrote the words "Lin Jinxiu" on the paper, which was really good-looking, and every stroke was very delicate.
"Nicely written." Lin Jinxiu praised.
Huai Yanqing was very proud.
Lin Jinxiu reached out and stroked two handfuls of his hair and continued to write the recipe in his hand.
The head on the side came over with curiosity: "What's delicious?" β
"Nothing new." Lin Jinxiu gave Huai Yanqing a little place for him to see clearly, "Most of them have been eaten by you." β
"As long as there's no custard, everything I eat is the same for me." As long as Huai Yanqing mentions eating, he will not leave the egg custard in three sentences.
Lin Jinxiu knew that he was just talking, and continued to write down the list in his hand.
"I wish the general likes to eat sweet, then make her a sweet and sour pork ribs, Brother Yao likes to be a vegetarian, there must be a lot of vegetables to be able to eat him......"
Seeing the girl in front of him seriously studying what everyone liked to eat, Huai Yanqing felt that the little shopkeeper in his memory who worked hard to study the tastes of the guests seemed to be back.
"Shopkeeper." He screamed.
"Say." Lin Jinxiu responded.
"You'll do it." Huai Yanqing said thoughtlessly.
The movement in Lin Jinxiu's hand paused for a moment: "Why did you suddenly say this?" β
"Because the shopkeeper seems to be in a bad mood." Huai Yanqing was very serious, "Although the shopkeeper didn't say anything, I can see it." β
"Yes." Lin Jinxiu fell into thinking, she really didn't notice the change in her mood, and now that she was mentioned by Huai Yanqing, she realized that she seemed to have very little time to laugh recently.
But with so many things happening recently, if you can continue to be optimistic, that's really psychologically strong.
"Actually, I'm looking forward to this banquet." Huai Yanqing saw that Lin Jinxiu didn't really want to discuss his mood, so he changed the topic.
Lin Jinxiu put down the pen in her hand, the recipe had been formed, and she would prepare them one by one in the order written above.
"It's not uncommon for you to have a banquet of this size." Lin Jinxiu looked at the people around her with a pair of smiling eyes, "How can you be like a child?" β
Huai Yanqing's body was half-kneeling on the table, as if he was resting, but his eyes showed out from the crook of his arm, and with an undisguised smile, he threw all his tenderness on Lin Jinxiu's body.
"Most of the banquets I experienced in the past were in the palace, and they were not as free as they are now, and the things cooked by the palace chefs were not as delicious as those you made." Huai Yanqing pouted,
"And my eldest brother always forces me to eat things I don't like, and he doesn't have the intimacy of a shopkeeper at all."
When Huai Yanqing mentioned his eldest brother, he always had an intimacy that he didn't find out about, obviously his words were more like complaints, but Lin Jinxiu heard a hint of coquettishness.
"If you let your eldest brother know, I'm afraid I'm going to beat you!" Lin Jinxiu suddenly remembered that when Huai Yanqing was lying to himself before, he seemed to have said that his eldest brother was dead.
The two of them have royal blood, if they are not really close to each other, if Huai Yanqing dares to say this, he will definitely die faster than Lin Jinxiu imagined.
"Big brother won't beat me, it's possible for you to beat me." Huai Yanqing remembered the scene where he was pressed by Lin Jinxiu on the bed when his identity was exposed.
Oh, according to what Huai Yanqing said, he was really bold and dared to make a move against the noble prince.
"So the shopkeeper, you must come on this time." Huai Yanqing looked at Lin Jinxiu with hope,
"If the shopkeeper can take advantage of this opportunity to make a splash, then our time should be able to advance a little, right?"
The tips of Huai Yanqing's ears were a little red, as if hinting at Lin Jinxiu.
Lin Jinxiu smiled slightly, remembering what Tinglan said about Zhu Hongyu being Huai Yanqing's fiancΓ©e, she only felt a blockage in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.
"If it's for you." Lin Jinxiu pulled out a kind smile, "I am willing to work hard for this banquet." β
