Chapter 257: Craftsmanship

Lin Qingwan asked them to set up a stove in the garden for barbecue, venison, beef and mutton were prepared in the morning, in addition to various seasonal vegetables.

The people of Daliang do not eat less barbecue, especially these noble sons, they will hunt with their friends every autumn and winter, and barbecue on the spot is the daily routine after hunting, so even if the craftsmanship is the worst, the grilled things can be eaten.

So as soon as they saw this posture, Lu Yu and the others rolled up their sleeves happily, and Lin Yubin also cleaned his hands.

Lu Rui and Lu Li were excited when they saw it, "It's just time to taste the county lord's craftsmanship." ”

Shang Mingjie's face on the side flashed with confusion, and finally he whispered: "Cousin, let's come with me." ”

Lin Yubin said with great interest: "No, I'll come by myself!" ”

She took the marinated venison and spread it on the iron plate, thought about it, and put some beef and mutton on it, and asked as she could, "What do you like to eat, I'll roast it for you." ”

A drop of cold sweat slipped on Shang Mingjie's forehead, "We ate it outside, cousin just bake some of it, you don't have to bake too much." ”

"Then I'll bake some for my aunt, and Mr. Li," Lin Yubin said happily: "Today, you passed the exam, this is a great event, how can you not celebrate?" ”

"That makes sense," Lu Li couldn't look at Shang Mingjie's mother-in-law, and squeezed people away: "The county lord only roasts, he doesn't eat us." ”

Zhou Tong also nodded thoughtfully, he figured it out, and his mood was a lot better, because he hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and now he was too hungry to see so much meat, but he was too lazy to do it, and now Lin Yubin was willing to roast, he couldn't wait.

Shang Mingjie glanced at them silently, snorted and stepped forward to give Lin Yubin a hand.

Wait for the things to be baked and you will be comfortable.

Shang Mingjie had tried his best to intervene, but he only rescued a small half of the meat, he silently put all the meat on his plate, and then distributed the ones that his cousin roasted to Lu Rui, Lu Li and Zhou Tong who were clamoring just now.

Lu Yu and Lin You sat far away early, concentrating on roasting seasonal vegetables.

Although they hadn't tasted Lin Yubin's craftsmanship, they could guess a little by looking at Shang Mingjie's expression.

A group of stupid and lazy people, can they still have Shang Mingjie to understand Lin Yubin?

It turned out that no, Lu Rui and the three of them took a look at the barbecue that looked good, and adhered to the principle that girls are always better roasted than them, and took a big mouth, and bit off the meat slice fiercely......

Well?

Lu Rui chewed hard, but found that he didn't chew, but the juice had already leached out, and with a touch of his throat, his eyes widened slightly, and he glared at Shang Mingjie opposite in disbelief......

This, how is this possible, how can the meat used in the county lord's mansion be so old and so firewood?

Could it be that you have encountered a scammer, or is there a problem with purchasing?

Shang Mingjie glanced at them gently, lowered his head and slowly ate the portion on his plate, the taste was average, although he started to do it, but his cousin obviously preferred to do it himself.

Shang Mingjie silently flipped over the barbecue in front of him, then picked up two slices and put them on her plate, "If you have a spleen and stomach, eat less." ”

This is roasted by Shang Mingjie, Lin Yubin took it for granted, tasted it and nodded: "This is the new marinade prepared by the chef this year, it is really good, it not only preserves the freshness of the meat." ”

Shang Mingjie saw that she liked it, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I'll bake two more slices for you?" ”

Lin Yubin struggled for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then eat two more slices, I don't eat much." ”

"Well, after eating for a while, let Yingyan make tea and drink." Shang Mingjie served thoughtfully and sandwiched two pieces of meat for Lin Yubin again.

Her spleen and stomach are weak, and she can't eat these things since she was a child, but she loves to join in the fun, so she gives everyone a barbecue.

If you can't eat it, you have to barbecue meat, that craftsmanship ......

Anyway, when he was in Shangfu before, only Shang Mingjie would consume these barbecues, but this year he was lucky, and three fools appeared to help.

Seeing Lin Yubin's expression of enjoyment, Lu Rui and the three of them gradually came back to their senses, this is not a problem of meat, it is a problem of people!

They swallowed a mouthful of meat silently, and then piled the meat on Shang Mingjie's plate together, and said with a big grin: "I suddenly want to eat vegetables, I'll go roast some vegetables, and these meats will bother Brother Shang to help." ”

Zhou Tong also silently piled the meat on his plate, "I'll go and see the seasonal vegetables roasted by Brother Yu." ”

Lu Li chased after Lu Rui, "Wait for me, I'll be with you, Mingjie, that plate of meat will be entrusted to you." ”

Lin Yubin blinked, lowered his head to look at the three plates of meat, and asked suspiciously, "Is it because I don't roast it deliciously?" ”

Shang Mingjie silently put a chopstick in his mouth, shook his head calmly, and said, "No, it's the same as before." ”

Lin Yubin breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why don't they eat it?" ”

"I said we had eaten outside, and they were just addicted, not necessarily hungry."

Lin Yubin was persuaded, and instead went to get vegetables, "Then I'll help you roast some seasonal vegetables." ”

Shang Mingjie continued to stuff meat into his mouth at a frequency, nodded and said, "Okay, roast less, I won't be able to eat much vegetables after eating meat." ”

Lin Yubin nodded happily.

She loves these barbecue things the most.

The three of them, who had been listening to the movement here, looked at each other silently, and finally unanimously raised their high respect for Shang Mingjie, such unpalatable meat, it was hard for him to eat them all with such a normal attitude.

Sure enough, it's a real warrior.

Ying Yan and Bi Rong on the side looked a little unbearable, they still know the craftsmanship of their eldest lady, obviously the skills of making dim sum and cooking soup and water are not bad, but this barbecue is ......

Obviously, the meat is marinated!

Lu Yu and Lin You glanced at the faces of the three people opposite, and then looked at the pair of people who couldn't notice them at all, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't let them eat it.

Lu Yu provoked the topic, "Brother Lin wants to stay in the capital or release him after the exam?" ”

Lin You was silent for a moment and said, "I have to ask my aunt's opinion." ”

He didn't have much hope for the exam, so he didn't think about it so far-reaching before.

Moreover, his rank as a jinshi is higher than that of Lu Yu and Shang Mingjie, but the court examination may not be so high.

He knows his level, and he has read their answers, and seriously speaking, the rolls of the three of them, his is the second.

Shang Mingjie's previous Jingyi and others are all right, Lu Yu is slightly inferior, and he is even inferior, those scores are hard scores, and the answers are fixed, regardless of the examiner's likes and dislikes.

Looking at the last three strategies of the examiner's likes and dislikes, according to him, Shang Mingjie has two articles that are still above Lu Yu, and he can also have one that is slightly better than Lu Yu, Aunt Lin also said so.

So at that time, Aunt Lin said, "If one of the three of you is in the middle, then the possibility of the other two is also very high, and the rankings will not be too far apart." And your ranking should be the lowest. ”

But who knew he would rank above the two of them?

Although the score of the strategy is very high, and it depends on the likes and dislikes of the examiner, he really doesn't think that his essay is better than Lu Yu and Shang Mingjie's, and he still knows this.

So he can be in the front, and it should be about family background.

Oh, it should be said that he took advantage of him as Lin Qingwan's nephew, and he was also cultivated by her.

But he is not ashamed, isn't this the case with the current imperial examination?

In addition to fighting talent, it is to fight for dad and fame and family.

Because he didn't know what the results of the imperial examination would be, he decided to ask his aunt's opinion again in the evening whether he wanted to be released or stay in the capital.

Lin Qingwan is talking to Li Feng about his future path, "You prepare for the imperial examination, I have discussed with Ren Shangshu, it is best for you to stay in the Ministry of Industry." I wonder if you have any other opinions? ”

Li Feng shook his head again and again, "The villain participated in the imperial examination to control the water, and it is the villain's luck to stay in the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be so humble," Lin Qingwan couldn't help but have a headache when she saw that he still called himself a "villain": "I have a grade on me, if you don't mind, let's deal with it as a colleague." ”

She smiled: "Although Ren Shangshu and I recommended you, I really didn't want to accept you as a protΓ©gΓ©." ”

Li Feng was still respectful, and although he changed his words, he still insisted: "Without the county lord, there would be no Li today, and I dare not forget it." The county lord will be sent later, and he will not dare to disobey. ”

Lin Qingwan: "......" She recommended him really just because she liked his talent, she couldn't bear to bury him, she just wanted to benefit the people in the Yellow River Valley, she really didn't want to accept a protΓ©gΓ©!

She took a deep breath and said, "Since you have no objection, then I will take you to meet Ren Shangshu tomorrow." Okay, let's go to the back garden and sit down, and we won't talk about these nerve-wracking things anymore, just eat and drink. ”

Li Feng responded and followed Lin Qingwan to the backyard.

As soon as she arrived in the backyard, Lin Qingwan saw Lin Yubin poisoning Shang Mingjie.

She couldn't help but laugh and asked Li Feng to go and talk to Lu Yu and them, while she paced over and reached out to grab the meat on the plate.

Shang Mingjie dared to let her eat this, and hurriedly stopped: "Auntie, this meat is a little cold, I'll bake you again." ”

Let's talk about sweating profusely.

Lin Qingwan also had no intention of abusing her stomach, nodded and sat aside and asked, "Mingjie, have you thought about which department you went to?" ”

Shang Mingjie scratched his head and said, "I want to go to the military headquarters or put it outside." ”

"Huh," Lin Qingwan sat up slightly straight, "I thought you would want to go to the Hanlin Academy." ”

Shang Mingjie smiled slightly: "Hanlin Academy is not suitable for me now. ”

Lin Yubin looked at him and said, "How come, the Hanlin Academy should be the most suitable for you, right?" ”

Shang Mingjie shook his head and didn't speak.

If you want to take power quickly, and then control the right to speak at home, then the Hanlin Yuan is not suitable.

Because when you enter the Hanlin Academy, you will have to stand still for two or three years, or more than ten years.

The opportunity is coming, you may be able to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and you may become an important minister recently, but there are too few such opportunities, and he is not like Lin You, who has a relative like Aunt Lin who is close to the royal family.

Therefore, he will not go to the Hanlin Academy in order to ask for that opportunity, he will either go to the military department or let him out.
