Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cooking with Your Own Hands

When Lu Yunjing came back in the evening, An Jin had already put down his pen and cooked a delicious meal himself, Lu Yunjing put down the documents brought back from the military department hungrily, walked to the dining table and drank hot tea, smelling the tempting aroma and suddenly moved his index finger, An Jin sat on the table, holding his chin with both hands and looking at him cutely.

Lu Yunjing looked at her expectant eyes, feeling a little strange, but he didn't ask much, he just sat down and picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and then exclaimed a little exclaimed: "Oh, what's wrong with the cook today?" Where did you get the food cheats, the food made is so delicious? ”

An Jin pinched his waist and gently patted the table and reprimanded coquettishly: "What, that's obviously a meal made for you by someone, what is the chef's skill." ”

"Oh, that's really rare, I really didn't expect that you guy is not only knowledgeable, but you can actually cook such a good meal."

Lu Yunjing asked with interest: "Don't you scholars say that gentlemen are far away from cooking?" ”

An Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered that the sage really said such a thing in ancient times, Lu Yunjing then asked: "So, is it really okay for you to go to the kitchen like this?" ”

An Jin reacted, waved his hand indifferently and said: "What, who is like those guys who think they are high-minded, read a few books and know a few words, and the tail will go to the sky, if you really have some ability, it's just that, but the more people who think like that, the more they don't know a few big words, and they don't understand fart." ”

An Jin said with an indignant look, Lu Yunjing looked quite funny while gobbling up the food made by An Jin, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, Anjin, your eyes are completely broken." ”

An Jin waved his hand and said indifferently: "Don't care about those details, all in all, this table is not badly cooked, right?" ”

Lu Yunjing nodded with satisfaction: "It's not bad, it's just amazing, the skills of those imperial chefs in the palace can't be compared, sometimes I really want to open your little head to see what is inside, it can always surprise people who know you." ”

Seeing this, An Jin smiled with satisfaction: "Well...... It's my little secret, there is a good saying, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. ”

An Jin said with a smug face: "So, books give me knowledge, and knowledge is power. ”

told Lu Yunjing to say so, but in fact, she was naturally talking nonsense, even if she searched through the entire Kyoto, including the emperor's imperial library, she would never find any book that recorded this cooking method.

This is when he was a manga artist in his previous life, he accidentally learned a few hands while reading cooking manuals in his spare time, and at that time, he tried a little in his own kitchen to adjust his mood, but he didn't expect it to be like this, so he kept it in mind.

It's just that I didn't expect that the accidental act that was just for a momentary pastime at that time can still be remembered so clearly in my heart today.

Today, I suddenly wanted to cook by myself just because she had been painting all day, and I was really tired after tossing, and I wanted to make something to satisfy myself.

An Jin smiled and watched Lu Yunjing gobble up, Lu Yunjing ate by himself for a while, and when he saw An Jin not moving his chopsticks, he couldn't help but say a little embarrassedly: "Why don't you eat together, just look at me there." ”

An Jin shrugged: "I've eaten, and when I cook in the kitchen, I eat as I cook, you don't have to worry about me." ”

In fact, the so-called eating is just modesty, for An Jin, she is not cooking to satisfy her appetite, but simply wants to enjoy the process of something in her own hands and slowly transforming like she expected through her own efforts.

It is enough to have this process, and the finished product is perfect in line with the expectations in my heart, which is naturally the icing on the cake, even if the thing is not too perfect, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I have been here, I have struggled.

After dinner, An Jin ran to the study with the picture book he had drawn during the day to show him, but when he saw Lu Yunjing sitting at the desk, he asked, "Do you plan to continue working at night?" ”

Lu Yunjing nodded, yawned and said, "Yes, there are still a few documents left to deal with during the day, and they will be able to be done soon, what, is there something wrong?" ”

An Jin raised his hand, and Yang raised the stack of drawing paper in his hand: "Originally, I wanted you to help me as a staff officer, but ......"

Lu Yunjing smiled apologetically, An Jin lowered his little head, and his eyes rolled slightly: "If I move the table over, will it affect you?" ”

Lu Yunjing nodded a little puzzled: "The impact will not be affected, just look at the documents, but what do you want to do?" ”

An Jin smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

With that, An Jin put down the drawing paper and trotted out with great interest, waved a few male servants, and instructed them to move the somewhat obstructive desk in their room to Lu Yunjing's study.

Lu Yunjing was taking An Jin's drawing paper and flipping through it, when he heard the noise of moving the table, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "You don't like this table?" Tell me, I'll send someone to smash it and give you a new one, and it's over. ”

An Jin shook his head: "Don't make trouble, why don't I like such an antique table, it's just that the room I slept in was too small, and it was a little crowded with it." ”

Ignoring Lu Yunjing, An Jin commanded the servants to put down the table and go back by themselves to bring the four treasures of the study over and line them up, and then dragged a chair from the room and sat down, patted the drawing paper in front of him with satisfaction: "I will paint here in the future, fortunately, the study you arranged is spacious, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

Lu Yunjing raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly: "Whatever you want." ”

As he spoke, he ignored An Jin, and lowered his head to review the unfinished documents he had brought back from the barracks.

An Jin also sat down to himself and began to draw.

It was still early, and the ancient people had very few ways to entertain themselves in the evening, and there was hardly anything interesting except for men and women.

As long as the man has a little savings at home, most nights he will go out to prostitute himself under the pretext of having a small gathering with friends.

In the process of getting along with Lu Yunjing in recent days, An Jin was a little overjoyed to find that Lu Yunjing was different from most of the men in her impression, except for the first time when they met Lu Yunjing in the prostitution hall once, and then he was honest at home every night.

And the last time I met him in a prostitution house, it seemed that he was just accompanying Yunlan.

Lu Yunjing buried his head in reading the official documents, calmly immersed himself in painting, and for a while the room fell silent, and a feeling called warmth permeated the room, and Lu Yunjing had never had this feeling before.

From time to time, he looked up at An Jin, who was immersed in painting, and felt inexplicably at ease, and the inexplicable sense of fullness in his heart made Lu Yunjing feel a slightly drunken feeling in his heart.

Lu Yunjing sighed in his heart: An Jin, An Jin, how many secrets do you have, the more I get along with you, the more surprised I am with you, and the more I am addicted to you.

Time passed slowly in this warm feeling, and for the next month, An Jin hardly went out except for going to the bookstore during the day to deal with some book matters.

Zhou Xiyue didn't know what the hell she was thinking, and she didn't find an excuse to annoy herself during this time.

Out of sight and out of mind, she doesn't bother herself, she is calm and happy.

The method of the county system that Lu Yunjing proposed to the emperor in private before was also personally put on the agenda by the emperor in the court some time ago, and the ministers did not have much reaction to this, after all, the emperor's name is to improve the people's livelihood in the border pass, to be honest, the border pass is the kind of land of four wars, which does not belong to the fief of any nobles, and how the people there live has nothing to do with them.

After briefly talking to the ministers about the governance plan, the agenda was passed smoothly without hindrance.

On this day, An Jin was drawing a picture book in Lu Yunjing's study, and she was still drawing the girl's romance book with Huang Weijie as a reference.

During this time, because I had to deal with the affairs of the bookstore, the creative process was also intermittent, but fortunately, the source of inspiration was never interrupted.

Just as she was concentrating on painting, Lu Yunjing came back happily from outside and said loudly to An Jin: "An Jin, good news, good news!" ”

An Jin knew that Lu Yunjing would go to court today and would go home early to rest, so he didn't go out today, waiting for Lu Yunjing at home, planning to take him out shopping after he came back.

Seeing Lu Yunjing returning home with great interest, she put down the brush and asked, "What's the matter, General Lu, did you receive any good news in the court today?" The interest is so high. ”

Lu Yunjing looked very interested, and he raised an envelope in his hand and said, "The county system you told me about before, the border towns that were used for experiments have produced results!" ”

An Jin was also a little happy when she heard this, she took the envelope and asked, "Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Although he took the envelope, he felt the heavy weight in his hand, and An Jin did not intend to open it himself.

Lu Yunjing didn't care much about this, and continued to say happily: "After His Majesty sent people to the border pass that day to implement it, it was only half a month, and the security at the border pass was somewhat more stable than in the past, and even suppressed a rebellion in Yidi, compared to the past, the people can also live in the local area with a little more peace of mind." ”

"The enthusiasm of the officials in charge is also much higher than in the past, as long as the army under my subordinates can defend the border passes, so that Yidi cannot take a step beyond the thunder pool, those cities will sooner or later become idyllic that does not lose to any rich land in the interior!"

"These are things that can be met! These are all very likely things to achieve, as long as my army can hold on, as long as we do not retreat, the fierce land of the four wars will definitely become a place to live! ”

"When the time comes, you will be a saint who will be praised for eternity!"
