Since the organizer has come up with such a topic, it is natural that it has been prepared for a long time. Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu wanted a horse, he immediately led a horse. Two other big men who were martial arts at a glance also led their horses and stood on the side, looking like they wanted to escort Lin Xiaozhu to Yuzhou City.

Ma Chao looked at Lin Xiaozhu in a lotus blue dress, then looked at the tall horse, frowned, and said, "Miss Lin, we have a carriage, although the time is delayed for a long time, it is better to be safe." The girl is better off riding in a carriage. ”

"No, you don't." Lin Xiaozhu waved his hand, turned over and got on the horse. She also tried horseback riding when she was in Dongyue, and later returned to Beiyan with Yuan Tianye from Dongyue, and she also followed him on horseback from time to time along the way, and she fell in love with horseback riding completely. In ancient times, horse-drawn carriages had no shock absorbers, and the roads were uneven, so it was uncomfortable to sit in a carriage, but it was not as comfortable as riding a horse. And the feeling of galloping and galloping on a horse is something that you can't experience in a carriage.

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu insisted, and the movement of turning over and getting on the horse was also skillful, as if he often rode a horse, Ma Chao stopped talking, told them to "take care", and told them a few words, and then stepped aside.

Since the organizer came up with such a question, the two guards specially explained it, and they are very familiar with the road conditions to Yuzhou City, and they are not strangers to the Yu family's house. The three of them rode horses and went straight to Yuzhou, more than a hundred miles away, and it only took half an hour to reach Yuzhou City.

Because the embroidery of the Jade family is all booked and there is no inventory, there is no shop in the Jade family. If you want to buy embroidery, you have to get the Yu family house to vote for posts. Lin Xiaozhu thought about it, went to the shop that sold the four treasures of the study, bought a post, borrowed their pen and ink, wrote a post, and went straight to the Yu family's house.

Lin Xiaozhu motioned for the two guards to wait outside, and then entered the gatehouse and asked to see him. Because the jade embroidery is expensive. The people who come to sell embroidery are either rich or expensive. The porter did not dare to slack off, let the seat serve tea, and then delivered the prayer note to the master.

"Passing on the message from generation to generation, Lin Xiaozhu." Yu Zhuo looked at the prayer post, his brows furrowed. Because the jade family is engaged in embroidery, it is just the opposite of other craftsmen, the craft is passed on to women and not to men, and women recruit sons-in-law at home, and do not marry. If there is no daughter inheritance, or the daughter is not talented. will also accept disciples, and these disciples will change their surnames to Yu. raised like a daughter, and is also a son-in-law. This jade is the head of this generation, and he is now in his fifties.

"Mother, what is embarrassing you?" A woman in her thirties approached and asked. This woman is the daughter of Yuzhuo. It's called Jade Buckle.

"There is a guest here today, not to order embroidery. but it is a messenger from generation to generation. Yu Zhuo said. Then he raised his head and said to the porter, "Pass." ”

After a while, the porter came in with Lin Xiaozhu. After greeting each other, the guests sat down. Lin Xiaozhu said: "Xiaozhu is reckless, I came here today, just to pity an old man in his nineties, and I can't bear to remember one thing he will never forget before he dies. I came to ask for advice and visit Aunt Yu. ”

On the way to Lin Xiaozhu, he has been thinking about what kind of identity he should use to meet the Yu family. In the end, it was decided to go as a messenger. In her mind, the old saint came up with this question, on the one hand, it was indeed the old love, and she missed the taste of the porridge in her heart; Second, he also wanted people to help him spread rumors. Obtain the understanding of the Jade family. She came to visit this time, and she should be the mediator of the grievances between the two families. Naturally, we should be calm and honest.

"An old man in his nineties?" Yuzhuo's face changed. In ancient times, due to medical reasons, not many people lived long, and it was even rarer to live to be more than 90 years old. And in the four countries, the one who can live to be more than ninety years old and has some relationship with the Yu family is Xiao Zhanting, the old saint of Xuanyuan.

Lin Xiaozhu saw that the head of the Yu family was only in his fifties, and he was not the daughter of the old saint in terms of age, so he felt that it was not difficult to do things. After all, after two generations, no matter how big the resentment of the hosta is, it is extremely thin here. Then use the feelings of a poor old man in his nineties to impress her, and the old man's dream can be fulfilled with a single effort, why not? Besides, the old man was still the elder of the Yu family.

Sure enough, Lin Xiaozhu saw that the Jade Lady in front of him only changed slightly, but he didn't get angry, turned his face and drove himself out of the door, and continued: "I think that the Jade Lady has guessed who I am talking about, it is Xuanyuan Old Sage." But today he did not send me, but I came on my own. Just because he was lying on the bed now, still holding a handkerchief with a bright red kapok embroidered on it that he couldn't see the color, and said that he wanted to eat a kind of porridge. As for what porridge, he couldn't say. I saw that the handkerchief was embroidered by the Jade family, so I specially came to ask about it, I don't know if the Jade Lady knows the origin of the handkerchief, or knows what kind of porridge the old saint will never forget? ”

"Lying in bed? Dying? Yuzhuo remembered the word Lin Xiaozhu used just now, his face changed again, and then he stood up and said to Lin Xiaozhu, "Thank you Miss Lin for coming to pass the word." Sit down here for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go. After speaking, he asked Yukou to entertain Lin Xiaozhu, turned around and walked to the backyard.

"Miss Lin, drink tea. This is this spring's Biluo Spring, you can taste it, like it or not. Seeing Lin Xiaozhu's confused face, Yukou didn't explain her mother's behavior, but only chatted with her.

After a while, a maid entered the door and gave Lin Xiaozhu a salute: "Mrs. is invited, Miss Lin, please come with the slave." ”

Lin Xiaozhu stood up and followed Yahuan to the backyard, only to see Yuzhuo sitting in the courtyard talking with an old lady with white hair. Although the old lady's hair was all white, her demeanor still had an elegant and beautiful charm. It seems that whether a woman is beautiful or not has nothing to do with age, but about temperament.

"Old lady, madam, Miss Lin has arrived." Yahuan said.

Lin Xiaozhu figured out the identity of this old lady in his heart, and gave her a salute.

"You're welcome, girl, come, sit." The old lady was extremely kind.

Yuzhuo turned his head and introduced to Lin Xiaozhu: "This is my mother." "You're welcome, sit down." ”

Since she is Yuzhuo's mother, then this old lady is over 70 years old this year, right? So, this is the daughter of the old saint?

Sure enough, the old lady's next words proved Lin Xiaozhu's conjecture: "I have heard what Yuzhuo said about your intention." Since the girl helped deliver the message, she must also know about the matter between our family and the old saint. The grievances of the older generation have passed for so many years, and my mother has long been gone. Even my daughter, who is in her seventies, has long looked down on the grievances and hatreds in the world. People can get to know each other, which is fate. If you have fate, why do you care who loses whom, and who is sorry for whom? The girl is not related to her, she is willing to help the old saint run this trip, our family will naturally not be so unreasonable, and even the wish of an old man in his nineties is not willing to be fulfilled. She smiled and said, "My mother has been alive for decades, although she complains in her mouth, in fact, she also remembers it in her heart." Over the years, she has always liked to make a kind of porridge. This porridge is not what she likes to eat, in my opinion, it should be what Lao Shengshang liked to eat back then. As he spoke, he introduced the recipe for porridge.

In fact, this porridge is very homely, called "preserved egg salted egg bean curd salted lean porridge". The method is to marinate a piece of lean pork with salt for a period of time, wash it in salt water and cut it into pieces. Thin yuba broken. After boiling, cut the preserved eggs, yuba, lean meat, and salted egg yolks. After an hour and a half, the porridge has been cooked evenly, take out the meat pieces and mash them back into the porridge with chopsticks, then chop a preserved egg, and cook for ten minutes. Marinate the rice in oil for half an hour and then add water to make the porridge more glutinous. The preserved eggs are boiled separately in order to have both the aroma of preserved eggs and the preserved egg pieces in the porridge, which serves the purpose of "seeing people in the empty mountains and hearing people's voices".

After saying how to make porridge, the old lady turned her head and instructed Yuzhuo: "Go and prepare the carriage, I want to go to Xuanyuan City." ”

"Mother, you ......" Yuzhuo was a little surprised, stunned for a moment before he reacted, stood up and responded, "Okay, okay." There was a look of joy on his face.

And Lin Xiaozhu, who was sitting on the side, was even more overjoyed. She didn't know if Lao Shengshang had a family member, but whether there was or not, this daughter meant something different to him. She came to this trip, and was able to fulfill the old man's dream, and also brought back the daughter he missed the most, and the old man must be very happy. She didn't really care about the result; Being able to fulfill the wish of an elderly man is what makes her happiest the most.

After a while, Yuzhuo came over with a burden and helped the old lady into the carriage. Lin Xiaozhu still rode a horse with him. More than an hour later, several people arrived at the door of the old saint's mansion.

To Lin Xiaozhu's surprise, Ma Chao did not go back to the game site, but sat in the gatehouse, obviously waiting for her to come back.

Seeing Ma Chaozai, she was overjoyed and said to Ma Chao: "Master Ma, it just so happens that you are here." You have heard what the old saint said. Then he pointed to the old lady and said, "This is the person who is remembered by the old saint, you can take them in to meet the old saint." I'll go back to the game. Then he asked, "Are the kitchen utensils and ingredients still there?" ”

"Yes, nature is." Ma Chao didn't expect Lin Xiaozhu to go on this trip and bring the Yu family back. In addition to the accident, I am also very happy for the old saint. instructed the guards to send Lin Xiaozhu to the game site, and took Yuzhuo's mother and daughter into the house.

Lin Xiaozhu originally thought that everyone on the competition venue had left, and the judges had gone back, after all, it was already Shen Shi at this time, and it had been three or four hours since they got the questions. But I didn't expect to get there, but I found that everyone was still there, even the chefs who watched the excitement were still sitting there neatly, and there seemed to be no one missing, so I couldn't help but be quite surprised.

"Here, here, that Lin Xiaozhu is here." After waiting for a day, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Lin Xiaozhu walking onto the high platform—twelve cooks went to see Lao Shengshang, and then only eleven came back, but the last one was nowhere to be seen. Everyone thought that the young girl had given up on the competition, but they didn't want the judges to say that she was still finishing the competition, and that she was not coming back, so please sit where you are and wait, and don't go away. A sumptuous lunch was also served. Everyone had to sit here and wait. But fortunately, the dishes made by the eleven chefs also took a lot of effort, and they were also drawn to the stage by the judges to taste the dishes made by these chefs, which was not boring in the past three or four hours. However, the young female chef was always in my heart, after all, she did not come back, and even if the cook on the table finished cooking, they could not leave.

Well, now she's finally back. But what did she do? Why is it delayed for so long?

(I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family!) (To be continued)
