"The first place is Tianji Tower, and the second place is Yushu Pavilion...... My family is actually the fourth? ”

The top three represent the place to go to the state capital to compete, but the splendid world is fourth, which makes Huai Yanqing a little broken.

"Ugh." Lord County Shou sighed, took out another piece of paper and put it in front of Huai Yanqing, "Shopkeeper Lin's relatively low score mainly comes from the professional jury, and the reason is not Shopkeeper Lin's fault. ”

Huai Yanqing looked at the list of scores and found that at the food festival, Lin Jinxiu's sales at the three-day food festival ranked third, especially on the second and third days, almost crushing the Qinghe Tower opposite.

But on the list of evaluation scores, Lin Jinxiu's score is much lower.

The reason is also very clear, not because the things she made are not up to standard, but because the dish that Lin Jinxiu handed to the judges is a semi-finished product itself.

And she was able to get these points because of an accident here, and she gave points as appropriate.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper will cry when he sees this......" Huai Yanqing learned from Lin Jinxiu's thinking, touched his chin and guessed.

Lord Gunden fell into deep thought, and then knocked on the box next to him: "But the top ten have rewards, and they are still very rich. ”

"Rewards? What rewards? At this time, Lin Jinxiu happened to take the food out of the kitchen and heard the last half of the words of the county guard.

Huai Yanqing saw that Lin Jinxiu's face was full of "what is rich", and she was originally thinking about whether this result would hurt her, but now without thinking, she directly threw the bad news that Lin Jinxiu only got fourth in front of her face: "Look, this is your ranking in the food festival." ”

The county guard watched Huai Yanqing change his attitude, threw the things in his hand in front of Lin Jinxiu, and suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly buried his head in eating, pretending that he didn't know at all.

Lin Jinxiu curiously picked up the ranking, but after looking at it for a while, her facial features were all crowded together: "What?" Fourth? Is it so miserable? ”

Compared with Lin Jinxiu's efforts in the food festival, her attitude towards seeing the results is indeed a little dull now.

Huai Yanqing squinted her eyes and looked at Lin Jinxiu carefully, thinking if she would be overly sad, but seeing that she had seen through it, she was obviously mentally prepared, and just regarded this incident as exercise.

Lin Jinxiu picked up the review opinions next to him again, looked at it and was relieved: "This is also a helpless thing, after all, that dish is really a semi-finished product, if it can be fully prepared, no matter what, it can compete with Cui Yingjie." ”

Lin Jinxiu's statement is not speculation, she is still self-aware of how delicious her food is.

As her cooking skills become higher and higher, Lin Jinxiu has obviously felt that the true taste of these space ingredients in her hands is gradually reflected by her skills, and the effect of the ingredients is becoming more and more obvious.

The county guard looked really hungry, and after Lin Jinxiu looked at his "report card" and analyzed it, the simple food that Lin Jinxiu made for him had already been eaten.

At this time, he was wiping his mouth with his handkerchief, and he said to Lin Jinxiu slowly.

"Although Shopkeeper Lin only got fourth, the chef of the imperial dining room obviously favored Shopkeeper Lin."

As he spoke, the county guard took out a cyan ring-shaped jade pendant from his body and handed it to Lin Jinxiu.

"This is what the chef gave you, saying that in the future, when you go to the state capital, show this jade pendant to the state pastor, and he will take you to find him."

Lord Governor.

Lin Jinxiu's face was expressionless, but she was happy in her heart.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qin Shuyao for a long time, and I don't know how he is now, I miss him a little.

Lin Jinxiu took the jade pendant, looking at the exquisite workmanship, although she didn't understand jade, but it was warm and moist, and it was also a little translucent, obviously she had been carrying it on her body for a long time, and she was raised very beautifully.

Flipping it over carefully, Lin Jinxiu found that there was a small character engraved on the bottom of the jade pendant.

But Lin Jinxiu didn't learn the seal style, so he casually handed the jade pendant to Huai Yanqing.

Huai Yanqing read out the words on the jade pendant: "Wen? ”

"The chef's name has the word 'Wen' in it." The county keeper drank a cup of tea and said, "That chef's surname is An, his name is Jianwen, he has been the head of the imperial dining room since the time of the emperor, and he has always been in charge of the diet of the emperor and everyone in the palace. ”

Lin Jinxiu's eyes widened: "Why did the planer of the imperial dining room come to Yunzhu County?" ”

It stands to reason that as long as Chef An posts a notice in the capital, all the cooks in the city have to post it upside down, let alone be an apprentice, maybe someone will do it to serve tea and wash his feet.

"It turned out to be him......" Huai Yanqing muttered at this time.

Lin Jinxiu heard this, but she didn't say anything when the county guard was here.

The county guard didn't take Huai Yanqing's broken thoughts seriously at all, and it was of course normal for Lord Eagle Guard to know the chef of the imperial dining room.

"Because Chef An's hometown is in our Yongzhou." The county guard explained to Lin Jinxiu, "He wants to find an apprentice in his hometown, and he estimates that he will run through the twenty counties in Yongzhou." ”

Although it is very reasonable, Lin Jinxiu still feels a little violent.

With the level of those cooks in the capital, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a suitable apprentice?

On the contrary, in Yongzhou, you may not be able to find one out of ten thousand.

However, a chef is a chef, and it is estimated that cheap apprentices can pass on their skills wherever they are found.

"But looking at this situation, the chef has taken a fancy to Shopkeeper Lin and wants to take her as his apprentice." There was a look of envy on the county guard's face.

can actually be taken by the chef of the imperial dining room, it seems that this shopkeeper Lin is really capable.

Although he didn't know anything about the cooks, he at least knew that Lin Jinxiu's food was delicious!

solemnly put away the jade pendant given by the chef, and Lin Jinxiu thanked Lord County Shou.

"Also, these things are the reward for fourth place." The county guard placed the small red box on the table in front of Lin Jinxiu, "And this time the government will compensate for the splendid world." ”

The county guard did what he said, although Lin Jinxiu's stall had been found out to be a ghost, but the apology and compensation still had to be taken.

Lin Jinxiu and the government had a good relationship with the government, and they did not take the initiative to ask for compensation, but the county guard had always been very reluctant to go, so this time he took the initiative to bring the compensation together

"My lord, it's not the government's fault, don't be so polite."

Lin Jinxiu didn't expect that the county guard would actually bring the compensation, and he was a little embarrassed and pushed the box forward.

"Please accept it from the shopkeeper." The county guard said very seriously, "For this official, this is just a small thing. ”

Although the county guard said so, Lin Jinxiu didn't believe that it was a small thing, so she could only thank her again and again.

After the things were delivered, the county guard seemed to be relieved, and seeing that all the food on the table had gone into his stomach, he stood up and walked out with his subordinates to say goodbye to Lin Jinxiu.

Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing didn't seem to care about the pile of things on the table, but their eyes were always on the county guard's body, and they put their hands down after watching him walk out of the door.

The county guard naturally saw the reaction of the two, and sighed to the people around him as he walked: "This shopkeeper Lin is worthy of being the person next to Lord Eagle Guard, who regards money as dung, and is worthy of being favored by the chef of the imperial dining room!" ”

However, this was just what the county guard thought, just after he went out, Lin Jinxiu rubbed his excited little hands and hurriedly opened the box to see what good things the county guard had brought to him.

"Look at your unproductive appearance." Although Huai Yanqing knew that Lin Jinxiu was a very generous person, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw her running to the box with her shoulders shrunk and small steps.

Lin Jinxiu didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of being like this, and looked at Huai Yanqing and smiled: "What is useless, people's lives are based on money, those who want to do good things must have money to give alms, and those who want to do bad things must have money to do it." ”

The red box buckle was opened by Lin Jinxiu, and when the lid of the box was lifted, Lin Jinxiu's expression was so pious that it was as if there was light shining out of it.

"Besides, I got this money properly, so what can't I love...... Wow, what a big ginseng! ”

As she spoke, Lin Jinxiu opened a red flannel box placed on the top, and when she saw the contents inside, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Huai Yanqing walked to her side and looked into the box with her: "Don't forget, most of the things here are bought by our brother Xu'er who was injured. ”

"Of course I won't forget." Lin Jinxiu just glanced at the good ginseng wrapped in the box and put it back in the package, "This ginseng is used to cook ginseng soup to replenish Brother Xu'er's body!" ”

Huai Yanqing watched Lin Jinxiu decide the fate of the ginseng so casually, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "You can just use the whiskers of this ginseng to make it, if it is all used to make soup, I'm afraid that if you go down to a bowl, Brother Xu will have a nosebleed." ”

"That's right." Under Huai Yanqing's reminder, Lin Jinxiu suddenly realized, "Then use a little less and make up for Aunt Li!" ”

Huai Yanqing: "...... Could it be that ginseng is used in your heart to replenish your body? ”

Lin Jinxiu didn't pay attention to Huai Yanqing's teasing, but began to distribute the things in the box, while Huai Yanqing stood aside and took on the responsibility of complaining, without stopping for a moment.

"Silver taels, silver taels will be used to subsidize the family." "Our family still needs subsidies?"

"Take this jade card to Ning'er to play with."

"Then I have to let Ning'er protect this jade plate, I look at a glance that this is worth at least fifty taels of silver."

"Wow, there's another painting, do you want to stick it on the wall?"

"Don't stick it in the store, the fumes will ruin it."

After a few rounds of back and forth, Lin Jinxiu even had the heart to strangle Huai Yanqing.

"Are you a joke?" Lin Jinxiu couldn't cry or laugh, turned to look at Huai Yanqing, who had been picking and choosing beside him, and put the things in his hand in front of him, "If you think you have handled it well, you can come." ”

Huai Yanqing's cheek was comparable to the corner of the city wall, knowing that Lin Jinxiu was complaining about him but didn't mind, but happily took the box and opened it to see the contents inside: "Then leave it to me, I can handle this kind of treasure better than you." ”

If Huai Yanqing is willing to help her, Lin Jinxiu will also be happy, but she still has something to ask him.

"That Chef Ahnwen." Lin Jinxiu reached into the placket and took out the jade engraved with his name from the placket and held it in the palm of his hand, "Have you seen it before?" ”
