Liu Xin'er in the back was already angry when she heard this, she was already as hot as a burst of charcoal, how could she hold back when she heard that someone was so arranged to deceive her sister, so she immediately clenched her fists and was about to rush out to question.

Ruan Mianmian smiled and stretched out his hand to stop her, and whispered: "It's not a big deal, how can it be worth making a fuss about such a person, if there is anything out of the ordinary, just deal with it before leaving." After saying that, he shook his head at Liu Xin'er.

"Okay, okay, you're good-tempered, but these people shouldn't climb on top and bully you, let's find them again before we leave, and ask them for what they deserve!" After Ruan Mianmian's persuasion, Liu Xin'er temporarily calmed down her anger, but her eyes were still staring at the screen fiercely, as if she was going to rush out and eat the two little maids.

Zhu En and Jiang Xinyue were also a little angry, they didn't expect that although the people of Ruliang were good, there were so many black miasma in the county guard's mansion, and they didn't care about their real masters and deceived them arbitrarily.

Only Ruan Mianmian did not change his face and even smiled faintly, straightened his sleeves and walked out with everyone around the screen.

Hearing the footsteps approaching inside, the two little girls guarding the door outside stopped talking and stood on both sides as if they were normal.

Ruan Mianmian walked out, and saw two maids standing respectfully on the side, and when they came out to bow respectfully, the clever maid named Xiaocui also raised her head and asked, "The county lord is going out now?" ”

"Yes, go out, don't follow, keep the things here." Ruan Mianmian said lightly, as if he hadn't heard Fang Cai's words. Liu Xin'er glared at the little girl angrily, glared at her viciously and left.

The military camp of Ruliang City is located on the inside of the city wall, not an area, but a checkpoint that can be changed at will, and usually serves as the responsibility of garrisoning the city wall and checking the people who come and go, and maintains the law and order of the huge Ruliang City. The soldiers' families and a series of husbands and reserves all live in the barracks with the army, so the whole barracks does not look like all soldiers, but more like a small village connected together.

Before Ruan Mianmian and the others came, officials and generals had already come to take care of it, and the military camp had also closed the gate and stopped entering and leaving, and the generals at all levels were waiting in front of the door, and even the mothers-in-law had cleaned the house and came out for Ruan Mianmian to settle down.

When she arrived at the barracks, Ruan Mianmian had to say a few words to the senior generals, but her purpose today was not this, so she only left Jiang Xinyue and them to socialize, and she pulled Liu Xin'er to find an excuse to sneak out of the camp and walk to other places at will.

There is a white tent on one side of the barracks, and a cloth banner is inserted diagonally on the side, and the word "kitchen" is red on it, which is the room of the entire barracks.

"Mianmian, you're going to the kitchen? Stealing food? Liu Xin'er was a little puzzled, she would not be aware of the people's feelings and would not be aware of the kitchen, thinking that Ruan Mianmian's eyes usually glowed when she saw food, she made up her mind that Ruan Mianmian must have been in too much of a hurry to come out in the morning, and she was hungry without breakfast.

"No, do you remember that I escaped from Wei Xunyi's hands and walked to Ruliang by myself, at that time, Duan Yan and I were in a hurry to go back to Gaoyuan, and we didn't drink half a mouthful of water after walking all night, but I couldn't open my mouth when time was pressing, who knew that there was a cook named Wang Xun in the barracks who burned a few meatloaf for me, the taste was very good, and he was careful, I thought if I could bring him to our Yipinxiang, didn't Brother Mu always say that there were not enough people, and after the cannon left, two people had to be added." Ruan Mianmian is still thinking about the operation of Yipinxiang after returning to the capital.

"Smart, Mianmian, I didn't expect you to have the talent to recruit generals, but I underestimated you in the past." Liu Xin'er bent down and picked up the green wicker with the buds in her hand, and waved it casually a few times, but there was a kind of sassy sword dance.

Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er did not alarm others, but quietly arrived at the kitchen door, and the two silver-armored soldiers guarding the kitchen door immediately discovered them, looked up and down a few times, and saw that they were dressed neatly and neatly, but the clothes and jewelry were not so luxurious, thinking that it was the people nearby, one of them raised the spear in his hand and reprimanded: "What are you doing, this barracks kitchen also dares to trespass, aren't you afraid of losing your head!" ”

Although the soldier's voice was loud, it did not scare the two girls away as he imagined, after all, Ruan Mianmian had seen all the winds and waves, and how could anyone who dared to argue in front of the emperor be so easily frightened.

Ruan Mianmian stepped forward and raised a smile, and said softly: "Brother Bing, I'm here to find someone." ”

No one would be angry with such a bright and lovely woman who smiled, and the guard's voice softened unconsciously: "Little girl, today in the barracks to welcome distinguished guests, the general specially explained not to let the noodle people near the kitchen, what is made there is food for the lord of Ruliang, in case there is a bad pool, who can afford it, if you come to find anyone on the other day, it is useless to be coquettish today, you go back." With that, he waved his hand at Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er, signaling them to go away.

"Then let me ask you about something, there is a cook named Wang Xun in this kitchen?" Ruan Mianmian didn't leave, and took Liu Xin'er's hand and walked aside.

"Yo, you came to him, he just recently became the kitchen manager, and he is preparing food inside, and he can't find time to see you today even if there is no ban, or that sentence, please go back." The guard said.

"But we came all the way here, we can't not see each other, see if we can call him out and we will meet outside, we won't poison the county lord." Liu Xin'er knew that Ruan Mianmian didn't want to reveal her identity, so she never mentioned that Ruan Mianmian was the county lord's business, and only helped Ruan Mianmian to intercede and find a compromise.

"Then I can't joke with my job, you know who the county lord's mother is, if you know that I let people go, you can't cut me, I don't dare." The guards were serious and unmoved.

The guard on the other side said, "Okay, okay, whatever nonsense you talk to them, you can drive them away." As he spoke, he waved his spear and drove them away.

At this moment, a middle-aged man's somewhat surprised voice came to mind in the white tent: "County Lord? Then the owner of the voice walked out, and Ruan Mianmian recognized at a glance that this was Wang Xun who brought her meatloaf at the city gate that day, he was wearing a white cloth apron, and his chubby face was full of smiles.

"Chef Wang, don't come unharmed." Ruan Mianmian smiled skillfully, not angry at all because of the guards' obstruction.

"You two, why don't you excuse yourself for the crime of His Royal Highness the County Lord, what are you doing stupidly!" Wang Xun held a big iron spoon in his hand and knocked it on their heads.

"His Royal Highness the county lord forgives his sins, and he doesn't know Mount Tai if he has eyes below." The two soldiers hurriedly put down their spears and knelt down, and their surprise overflowed from their faces when they learned that this simple girl was actually today's distinguished guest, the county lord of Ruliang.

"It's okay, I also want to praise you for your loyalty to your duties and not favoritism, and then I will say a word to your boss, give you a promotion, and let others learn how to be selfless." Ruan Mianmian smiled and took Liu Xin'er's arm and entered the tent, while Wang Xun bowed down and followed behind.

The tent is very large, there is a long table in the middle, all kinds of plates and dishes are piled up in different categories, more than a dozen large stoves are around the long table, each stove has a chef with an apron is busy, the tongue of fire on the stove licks the edge of the pot, the room is warm, there are several casseroles simmering on the stove on one side of the room, and several cooks are holding sharp kitchen knives next to the board to cut vegetables, and they are in full swing.

Seeing Ruan Mianmian come in, the cooks didn't pay too much attention, everyone's mind was on the dishes in their hands, and they didn't know the identities of Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er.

"Chef Wang, the atmosphere in this kitchen is really good, or you manage it well." Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but admire.

"It's over, the kitchen in the barracks is different from other places, these cooks are able to follow the march of the army to fight, and it is the first premise to not be surprised, and you must be sharp and active, so that you can prepare the soldiers' meals as soon as the army is encamped." Wang Xun was not proud of the praise, but picked the places that Ruan Mianmian was interested in and introduced.

"So, what dishes is Chef Wang good at?" Ruan Mianmian threw out a question, which seemed to be chatting, but in fact, it was to explore Wang Xun's skills, and it was also for Mu Ruqing to choose.

"I am good at all kinds of light side dishes that are fashionable in the south, and I am best at pastries and pastries, and I made the meatloaf that the county lord ate last time." When it comes to cooking, Wang Xun is very confident, after all, he has studied since he was a child, and he still has such confidence.

Ruan Mianmian secretly said in his heart: He will cook Jiangnan side dishes, which is not very common in the north, if he is invited to Yipinxiang to make a special Jiangnan food, it may make the people in the capital feel very fresh, and the effect will definitely not be bad.

Thinking of this, she asked: "Chef Wang's skills are naturally excellent, but the county lord has a chef who is good at northern cuisine, and he is proficient in everything he has learned all his life, I wonder if Chef Wang is interested in communicating with him?" Ruan Mianmian asked very skillfully, not directly throwing an olive branch to him, people like him would be popular anywhere, but people who are very strong professionally will definitely be troubled by not finding an opponent, so I don't believe that he will not be interested in Uncle Hua's imperial kitchen skills.

Sure enough, Wang Xun raised his eyebrows: "I don't know what kind of capable person the county lord knows?" ”

Ruan Mianmian beckoned and asked Wang Xun to come over his ears, Ruan Mianmian covered his hand and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see Wang Xun suddenly tremble, and immediately said with a happy face: "Wang Xun is overjoyed, in this way, I will personally make something for you and this young lady, let's go to the pavilion outside, eat and talk, what do you think?" ”

"Naturally, it's good." Ruan Mianmian smiled slightly and nodded at Liu Xin'er, and the two of them went to the pavilion opposite the door and sat down to wait for Wang Xun.
