Chapter 171: Opening a Shop
Lin Qingqing comforted, "She also asked me to take care of you more in the future, I can also see that she seems to have really let go, and my husband should stop holding on to it, is there anything good about seeing you so happy today?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyan hurriedly helped her to the table, and took out a letter from his sleeve: "Madame, open it and take a look." ”
Lin Qingqing looked at the dazzling red seal on it, and was a little timid for a while: "This should be an urgent matter from the military camp?" Isn't it a little bad for my husband to show me like this? ”
Zhao Kuangyan touched her head and said softly, "Madam, don't worry, this matter is thanks to you, open it and take a look." ”
Since he said so, Lin Qingqing didn't shirk anymore, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper in it, and looked at it with ten lines, but the more he saw the expression on her face behind her, the more surprised she became.
In the end, Lin Qingqing put down the letter, but the excitement in his heart was overflowing: "Husband, this... Is everything in this letter true? ”
Zhao Kuangyan smiled and said, "Naturally it's true, this letter was sent back to me by Zhou Qian, and now the carriage is already on the way, it is estimated that I will be able to get to the capital in the next few days, and I will have to trouble Mrs. at that time." ”
"What is not troublesome between you and me, if it is indeed possible, then the husband can gain a firm foothold in the court, but I have to thank General Zhou well."
"That's for sure, it is said that the kid has been active on the front line, and now he doesn't even have a lady, it's better to wait for this matter to be over, and then the husband will call him back and finish his life's work!"
Lin Qingqing snickered, "You, you, are you confused, is this lifelong event child's play?" It's better to introduce a few female dependents to General Zhou and let him pick his own, now his status is not low, and he will definitely be in demand. ”
"Then according to what Madame said, since there is mutton transported, it is better to call General Ye to come and enjoy it together, the meat of this sheep is excellent, it is said that the soldiers who have eaten it are said to be very tender, and then I will trouble Madame to see how to deal with it."
"Okay, just leave the little things to me." Lin Qingqing readily agreed, she didn't dare to say anything about the war, but she was good at cooking.
The two had dinner happily, led Xiao Hei to walk around the courtyard for a while, and suddenly talked about Li Chenji.
"Husband, are you saying that my brother was sent out? When did this happen? During this time, she basically didn't see Li Chenji, but she didn't expect that she was indeed on a business trip.
"It's the end of last month, and he, as the head of the household, should go with Shangshu to study, and Madame can rest assured, the relationship between the household department and the husband is good, and he has already said hello, and he will take care of it along the way."
Lin Qingqing nodded, she was not worried about Li Chenji, he was originally talented, and he would definitely be able to shine this time.
On the morning of the second day, Lin Qingqing got up early in the morning, made a box of snacks, got on the carriage and went to the palace.
Sure enough, she met Zhao Shuanghua, this girl was like a dog with a nose, and asked her if she brought anything delicious, Lin Qingqing deliberately teased her, "The princess must have smelled wrong, and the imperial sister-in-law didn't bring anything today." ”
Zhao Shuanghua pouted, "No, I can smell the faint fruit fragrance on the imperial sister-in-law's body, it must be delicious!" ”
Lin Qingqing asked Ah Chun to take out a few pieces of dim sum and hand them to her, "The princess is really like a god, this is a newly made peach cake recently, try it." ”
She took it with a smile, and when she took a bite gently, there was a strong peach flavor, which seemed to have some peach flesh in it, and it was very refreshing to chew.
"The things made by the imperial sister-in-law are really different from those in the palace! This water peach cake is delicious! ”
The child is so coaxing, after sending the pastries to the queen's bedroom, Lin Qingqing retired after a while, no matter how many times she came, she still didn't adapt to the environment in this palace, and when she left, she passed by a small forest, Lin Qingqing inadvertently saw the prince with a faint anger.
Lin Qingqing paused, and seemed to see who he was arguing with about something, and what important things might be, so he desperately lowered his voice, but judging from the anger on his face, it was probably not a good thing.
She didn't stop, and quickened her pace out of the area.
She didn't tell anyone about this matter, and three days later, the sheep from the Bula tribe finally arrived in the capital.
Zhao Kuangyan was very happy, and introduced Xiao Xu to Lin Qingqing, she couldn't help but be in awe when she heard that he was undercover in the enemy army, this kind of undercover thing is not something ordinary people can do, not only has a high IQ, but also has to be able to act, and sometimes has to test the ability to react, if it is accidentally discovered, it will be a disaster!
Now it seems that this Xiao Xu is definitely not an ordinary person, he has been undercover for so long and has come back safely, which is worthy of admiration!
Knowing that the front line would send mutton to come, Steward Qian immediately found the person who killed the sheep, and when Zhao Kuangyan was still talking to Xiao Xu in the front hall, the sheep had been led to the backyard and slaughtered.
A sheep has at least more than 100 catties, even if these days of tiring and running, but only lost a few catties of meat, when the five sheep are all slaughtered to get 200 catties of mutton, which does not include some visceral bones and the like, for a time the entire kitchen is full.
Chef Liu was so happy, he liked to make mutton the most, Lin Qingqing gave him a few recipes before this batch of mutton was shipped back, and he finally came in handy after his own improvement.
At lunchtime, there was a table of whole sheep feast, as Zhou Qian on the front line said, this mutton meat is fresh and tender, less flavorful than the local sheep, and the seasoning is easier to taste, and the entrance is called a fresh and smooth meat!
The most surprised thing was Xiao Xu, he had eaten the mutton banquet made by Zhu Ersheng before he came, and he originally thought it was already very delicious, but now that he eats it in this palace, not only the dishes are doubled, but the taste is simply that people can't stop chopsticks!
There is no problem with this mutton, Zhao Kuangyan finalized various matters that afternoon, and then prepared to enter the palace to explain the reason to the emperor, in order to convince him, he also brought a steaming mutton soup.
After Zhao Kuangyan left, Lin Qingqing was busy in the house to entertain Ye Tian and his wife tomorrow, although pregnant women can't eat too much mutton, but it's still okay to taste it, they are also the first batch of tasters, and they have to let them give some opinions after eating.
Not only Ye Tian and his wife, but even Zhao Shuanghua, who was included in the palace with Mrs. Liu and Lord Liu, were also invited together, about Prime Minister Xu Lin Qingqing hesitated again and again and handed him a post, how to say that his husband is also cooperating with others now, and the matter of having a meal is not a big deal, so please invite it.
It's a pity that Li Chenji is busy in the field now and can't rush back, but if he opens a shop in the capital in the future, it won't be too late for him to come back to eat.
Yes, the result of Lin Qingqing and Zhao Kuangyan's discussion is to prepare to open a restaurant specializing in mutton in the capital, Lin Qingqing has been busy designing dishes in the past few days, and there are two hundred catties of mutton as the base, which is absolutely proper.
