"The envoys of various countries will stay in our Great Zhou for a few days," Chu Junlan's eyes were dark, "Your cooking skills are exquisite, and the heavy responsibility of delivering food for the envoys has been entrusted to you." But don't let me down. ”

Li Qiuchi: Why did she go to ......? The palace is so big, and if you send it one by one, your legs will break.

Back in the East Palace, Li Qiuchi went directly to Chu Jinrong's room.

Chu Jinrong couldn't help but be amused when he saw her walk in with a loveless look, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Qiuchi handed him the list and said helplessly: "Your father asked me to entertain those envoys and be responsible for their meals. "She felt like an old mother.

Chu Jinrong took it and flipped through it roughly, and said in surprise: "So much? ”

Li Qiuchi rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't talk about it yet, let's see what the budget is if you want to cook for them." ”

After the two of them calculated for a while, Li Qiuchi came up with the result, and her face darkened: "Three thousand two hundred and sixty ......"

The envoys come from different countries, and naturally their tastes are different, and in order to get close to their tastes, they can only increase the cost, plus the number of people who are already hundreds, it seems that this number is indeed needed.

Li Qiuchi slammed his head on the table, feeling that his heart was dripping blood, and he wailed helplessly, "I'm going to lose money, it's the first time I've been a boss and I've done such a loss-making business for the first time!" I'm protesting! ”

Chu Jinrong felt funny when he saw her like this, he shook his head helplessly, "Don't howl, wouldn't it be good if I helped you pay for their food?" ”

Li Qiuchi raised his head abruptly and looked at him with a pair of starry eyes: "Really? ”

Chu Jinrong was moved by her look, and he hooked his lips and smiled, "Naturally, it's true." ”

Li Qiuchi suddenly jumped up, "That's really good!" ”

She turned her head and put her palms together in a serious manner, "Thank you for your kindness, next time if you have something, I will definitely help you, and the money will be forgotten." ”

"Poof!" Chu Jinrong was amused by her, and he laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I won't be able to search to this point, I can still get it for just three thousand taels." ”

Listen to this naked flaunting of wealth. Li Qiuchi patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Okay! I like you to be so heroic! ”

With the help of local tyrants to pay for the food, Li Qiuchi has no worries, and now he only needs to purchase all the ingredients before he can start preparing their meals.

At noon, at the fair.

"Li Qiuchi, how many things do you have to buy? I'm going to die! Chu Jinrong followed Li Qiuchi, who was walking in front calmly, panting heavily, and sweating on his head.

His two hands were full of ingredients, including sashimi, lobster, beef and mutton, and Zhao Xiaotang, who followed next to him, was also out of breath, and he felt heavy when he carried a few pieces of meat in his hands.

Li Qiuchi turned his head, glanced at him, and shook his head twice, "You can't do this physical strength, you can't stand it with a little weight?" ”

Chu Jinrong was angry, "You have good physical strength, you can mention it!" Standing and talking does not hurt your back. ”

Li Qiuchi's face changed, she heheed twice, her eyes flattering, "How can you, you are the pillar of the East Palace, we all have to rely on you, so this burden will naturally be handed over to you." You said no, His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"......" Zhao Xiaotang. He silently walked down the road with the things in his hands.

Chu Jinrong saw Li Qiuchi's face change in seconds, he didn't eat this, and asked expressionlessly, "Where are we going next?" ”

Li Qiuchi smiled: "I have bought all the samples of meat, and I will go to the vegetable store next." ”

Chu Jinrong gritted his teeth and squeezed out words from between his teeth, "Are you trying to exhaust me?" ”

Li Qiuchi hurriedly smiled and said, "How could it be, I am my good comrade-in-arms, good husband, right?" How can I be willing to exhaust you? ”

Hearing the words "good husband", he couldn't hide his lips, but he still glared at her angrily.

Li Qiuchi felt the murderous aura in his eyes, and she hurriedly jumped forward.

Looking at Li Qiuchi's departing figure, he gritted his teeth, hurriedly tightened the meat he was carrying, and strode to follow.

In the vegetable shop, after the shopkeeper saw Li Qiuchi walk in, she hurriedly smiled and went over, "Girl, but you want to buy vegetables?" She looked at Li Qiuchi quietly, and saw that she was dressed luxuriously, and at first glance she was a woman from a big family. She couldn't help but smile even more enthusiastically.

Li Qiuchi nodded, "Exactly." ”

She looked at the vegetables around her, they were colorful, but not cluttered at all, and she had a pleasing feeling to the eye. She picked up a lettuce casually, and after playing with it for a while, Chu Jinrong and Zhao Xiaotang chased after her.

Chu Jinrong walked into the store and gasped and said, "Li Qiuchi, what are you doing so fast?" ”

Li Qiuchi couldn't cry or laugh: "Time is not in a hurry, you can slow down." ”

When the two walked in, carrying raw meat, a strong fishy smell penetrated the tip of the shopkeeper's nose, she frowned, but didn't say anything.

Li Qiuchi turned around and looked around at the vegetable shop, she smiled and said, "Fill me with one or two dishes here." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Per portion...... Or? ”

Li Qiuchi smiled slightly: "Exactly, I only need one or two." ”

Chu Jinrong suddenly wailed, "All one or two? Are you mistaken? With so many vegetables, how can we mention them? ”

Li Qiuchi helplessly supported his forehead, "I'll mention it, I'll mention it, right?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes became weird when he looked at them, and he lost his enthusiasm at the beginning, she turned around and silently followed Li Qiuchi's request, all of which added up to not even a copper coin, Li Qiuchi carried the large and small handbags in his hand, and felt happy in his heart. The shopkeeper saw her so happy, and his heart was even more disdainful.

When the three of them left, the shopkeeper wiped the table and muttered, "Dressed so luxuriously, but I didn't expect it to be such a slamming master." ”

Li Qiuchi, who walked to the door: "......"

The three of them returned to the East Palace with large bags and small bags of ingredients, and when they put down all their things, they were all exhausted and out of breath. Li Qiuchi crossed his waist and panted, obviously too tired to do it. She sent all these ingredients to the palace maid in charge of the kitchen, and after checking that there was no problem, the palace maid recorded them and sent someone down to purchase the ingredients that needed them.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Qiuchi looked at the mountains of ingredients piled up in front of him in the kitchen, wrinkled his nose, and felt that he had nothing to love. She took a deep breath and rolled up her sleeves to get busy. The palace maid who was helping to help next to her was also very busy, and she was even more surprised after seeing Li Qiuchi's actions in one go.

In the middle of the night, the dishes were finally completed, and the sun had already risen to the middle. Li Qiuchi slowly put down the work in her hand, looking at the heat of the dishes on several tables in front of her, she also slowly breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile.
