8018 A.D. Continent of Tyatus, Dynasty of Ayarien, North, Blue Jade City, May

"The general's order, the little sister dare not obey. ā€

"Hahahaha! Okay! Ben Jiang is really happy today! Xiao Ji!"

"Yes, General!" The female officer who was called Xiao Ji seemed to have fully understood what General Gu meant, and she didn't say much, so she responded directly.

General Gu was so happy that he wanted to pat Chen Xixi's shoulder, but halfway through the shot, thinking of the difference between men and women, he immediately laughed again, withdrew his arm, and looked at Boss Chen, who had already gotten up in front of him and had respect and joy on his face, General Gu looked as if he had just won a battle at this time, and he looked at it like this, and forgot to say anything. The adjutant Lu got up, and handed a wine glass full of wine to General Gu, who didn't know what to say at this time, and there was also an officer in another place who handed the same wine glass to Chen Xixi, and then General Gu reacted from his forgetfulness, smiled again, and said: "Sister Chen, I won't say anything superfluous, it's all in this wine, I respect you!"

"Thank you, general, for your love," and the two drank this wine together, and the men and women present were also happy about the series of developments and changes in these things today.

General Gu put down his wine glass and lowered his voice a little when he spoke, and Yar Shi who was outside couldn't hear what was being said inside at this time, so he could only put his ears close to the plank again. Now that I heard the key point, Yar and Shi Xiaoxiao also forgot that eavesdropping was not good for a while, and at this moment, General Gu continued: "Sister Chen, maybe you think that although the matter of catering is the main thing in the conference, it is secondary, why am I so concerned? In the past seven years, this is the first time that a border defense event was held in the imperial border city at the order of the imperial capital, and the people attending the conference were all those in power in various cities, if they did not eat well or drink well afterwards, I would be accused by the commander of 'not being able to handle things well', but I couldn't afford it, and it was said that it would be a big crisis to my future future, haha, Sister Chen, you said that I would not be able to care? ā€

"Oh, little sister knows, but general, you trust little sister so much, I... I'm a little worried that I'm going to make a mistake. ā€

"Haha, I saw the demeanor of Sister Chen, a strong woman in the catering industry, and tasted the craftsmanship of the head chef of your restaurant today, I don't believe where you come from to be unconfident, I just hope you don't do too well, just play normally! ā€

"The general is making fun of the little sister again. ā€

"That's right, Sister Chen, you pick up the Spirit Binding Stone now, and check the Spirit Seal with my student, and later, you can send her some dishes that you can't cook when your chef is away, and we can also write it in the announcement. ā€

"Yes, or is it the general, you are thoughtful. ā€

At this time, outside the house, two people walked over, of course, they also saw Yaer and Shi, and saw Yaer and Shi supporting the wall, one of these two was Han Xiao, and immediately frowned, because the relationship with Yar and Shi was very good, so he didn't say much, and patted Yar and Shi from behind, Yar and Shi were suddenly startled, and turned around to look at it excitedly, and saw that it was Sister Han Xiao, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. Han Xiao knew that Yar Shi must be eavesdropping on the conversation in the house, thinking that the child was curious about the words and demeanor of the imperial officers, so he didn't think much about it, nodded Yar Shi's little nose, and said, "What are you doing!"

"Sister Han Xiao, I... I didn't do anything...", Yar and Shi were a little nervous.

"By the way, Xiao Shi'er, your mother is looking for you, tell you to go back quickly. Sister still has something to do, Xiao Shi'er, stop eavesdropping, hehe, you can't help it when you see something new. ā€

"Uh-huh," Jarr nodded.

Han Xiao smiled at Yaer and relieved himself, and went to knock on the door.

After the two people in the house finished the spiritual seal, there was a knock on the door, not Yaer, Shi, but the service staff who delivered the food, Chen Xixi saw that there was nothing to do here, so he signaled to let the service staff come in, the waiter took a large plate of dishes with a lid, and naturally placed it in a spare place at the round table, and then the waiter did not leave, at this time Chen Xixi said: "General, reserve officer, this dish is called" Safflower silver leaf flow smoked duck', the production process is very exquisite, in the smoked duck meat can also eat the special taste of natural plants mixed in the middle, are beneficial to the body, and with this good duck meat, this dish is also a major feature of my store, but also the little sister today's gift, please enjoy it ~ "Anyway, the waiter took the lid of the dish, and sure enough, there was a big fat duck lying flat on the plate, surrounded by a variety of flowers and leaves, there was a mixed aroma that was incomparably intoxicating, when they saw this dish, these officers were bright again.

At the signal of the morning and sunset, the waiter began to skillfully slice the duck meat and poured the sauce in another small bowl, and placed the small bowl and the duck slices on each small plate and distributed them to everyone. General Gu, who saw all of this, said at this time: "Boss Chen is too polite, haha, but I think this dish must be delicious! ā€

"General, you are polite again, this kind of delicacy is worthy of your distinguished guests. ā€

"Hahahaha, okay! good!" General Gu was also about to try this dish at this moment, Han Xiao, who came in with the waiter behind Chen Xixi, walked over lightly and said something in Chen Xixi's ear, Chen Xixi nodded and understood, thought about it, and said to the officers in the imperial capital: "General Gu, officers, the next two dishes you ordered are more complicated and slightly slow, wait a while." Moreover, the last dish, 'Sea and Land Double Stew', is a bit special, and our chef has thought about it and has some questions to ask you. There are a lot of peppers in this dish, spicy mouth, and there are three kinds of green vegetables such as swimming cabbage, Yan Hongguan, and shy fragrant leaves, and there are two kinds of golden shrimp and blue grouper fish in the sea, and the above types of ingredients I mentioned, through the feedback of customers all year round, the taste is slightly heavier, of course, the chefs of Xiaomei's family have paid attention to the pure taste when cooking, and I want to ask you if there are any taboos for the above ingredients and seasonings? Chen Xixi with a friendly and gentle smile on his face, for the officers in the box to remind the last dish may have a heavy taste and other problems, after the general Gu was eating and listening, he nodded naturally, it seems that he has usually eaten these dishes, and he thinks that they are still good in his memory; ā€

General Gu, who was in front, swallowed the duck meat he had just eaten, and said: "Good" and then said, "Yes, the original flavor is good, and the original flavor should be original." Elder Chen, don't worry about it, we don't have anything to be picky. Also, this duck meat is really good! I see that the meat has changed a taste, not only retains the fat of the original duck meat, but also has some licorice and plant fragrance, soft but not greasy, delicious, delicious. ā€

"Hehe~ Thank you General Gu for complimenting, then the little sister will arrange for someone to cook it immediately" Then Chen Xixi replied to Han Xiao and signaled Han Xiao to go down and do it, when Han Xiao left with the service staff, he also saluted General Gu and the officers and retreated, very polite, at the time when Han Xiao went out, General Gu said to the adjutant next to him: "Lao Lu, you taste it, this duck meat is really good, more than ten days later, the conference will order people to prepare more fat ducks, and we must let the officials of other cities see our dietary methods, hahahaha!"

"Yes, General," Adjutant Lu smiled and wrote down one by one, nodding in response.

Outside the house, Han Xiao saw Yaer and Shi still standing by the wall, and said, "Shi'er, go back with your sister, your mother is still waiting for you, ha~let's go~"

Yaer Shi heard his mother's task and finally let Sister Han Xiao do it for him, a little ashamed, and thought that his mother might have been waiting for a long time, and he was about to follow Sister Han Xiao back, so he said, "Well, go~"

Han Xiao affectionately tapped Yar Shi's nose, and said gently: "As soon as you see the officers, you will be interested, little naughty ghost~"

"Hehe" Yar and Shi were about to go back with Sister Han Xiao, at this time Han Xiao had already turned around and was walking slowly with the waiter beside her, and Yar and Shi behind her suddenly heard the deep voice of the ancient general from the box: "Sister Chen, I see that these things are all arranged, Ben Jiang is really happy today, haha, this person is good, wine is good, and food is good! By the way, Sister Chen, do you have any monks in your family, or do anyone want to practice spiritual arts?"

As soon as these words came out, Yar and Shi immediately stopped outside the house, their whole bodies were shocked, their pupils dilated, as if they had seen or heard words that made him unbelievable, Han Xiao in front continued to walk, and when she turned around at the corner of the corridor and found that Shi'er was gone, she called out, but there was no reaction behind her, she thought of something, and she chuckled, and she didn't care too much, so she walked with the waiter.

In the back, Yar and Shi are still in that state, giving people the impression that they are in some extremely embarrassing situation, motionless. The words of the morning and sunset in the box then came out: "General Gu, there are no monks in the little sister's family, and there are no people who can practice spiritual arts, all of them are ordinary people, hehe, the little sister will also seek an ordinary life in the future and spend the day in peace~"

"Oh oh" General Gu nodded, and then said: "Actually, Sister Chen, this general has no other meaning, by knowing you, it is also a troublesome matter in my heart recently, and we also have a friendship, it just so happens that I am familiar with some monks in the Imperial Capital Academy who specialize in the study of elves, even if it is the heart lines of ordinary people, I can see if there is any way for him to grow into a person with a cultivation physique, hahahaha, of course, this can only be done by friends, and the threshold of the normal academy is still very strict!" If Sister Chen has this need now or in the future, you can come to me at any time, and today you will fully support this matter of the cooking session of our Imperial Frontier Conference, and I will accept your affection. ā€

After saying this, Chen Xixi saw General Gu's kind and credible attitude again, and felt that he did not agree to the wrong person, which was also a rare opportunity for the future development of his hotel, and immediately said happily: "General Gu, I have said it, this is what the little sister should do, you are always too polite." I really don't have any people in my family who want to cultivate the truth, but my little sister has received the love of General Gu wholeheartedly, and she will definitely do her best to serve the border defense conference during the conference. ā€

"Hahahaha! Okay, good, for the sake of Sister Chen's words, come, let's all stand up and drink this glass of wine again!" After that, there was laughter and laughter in the box, and it was very lively; in stark contrast to the scene in the box, it was Yaer and Shi outside the house, still motionless, and the conversation between Aunt Chen and General Gu just now had passed over and over again in his mind, and it was like a nightmare......

After a while, after drinking some wine, Chen Xixi spoke: "General Gu, after that, I will contact Adjutant Lu for specific work matters and inform the head chef of Officer Ji that after the head chef of the restaurant is on a business trip, all the dishes that cannot be done. I don't think it's early, the officers may still have important things to discuss, so I won't bother much, everyone please enjoy it! Call me at any time if you have any orders~"

General Gu smiled heartily again, "Hahahaha!Okay, Sister Chen, then I won't keep you more, today's friendship, I will always remember, anyway, I thank Sister Chen here." ā€

"Don't dare, don't dare, now that you are General Gu, you are always too polite to me, and my sister must do her best!"

"Hahahaha, good!" General Gu nodded in response.

"The little sister will retire first. ā€

"Okay," General Gu and everyone sat down only after watching the morning and sunset leave.

Chen Xixi, who came out with a smile, was surprised to see Yar Shi standing motionless on a wall in front of the door, and she called softly: "Xiao Shi'er?"

As if he was suddenly awakened from a very heavy dream, Yar Shi was suddenly awakened, and he immediately turned around to look at Aunt Chen's familiar figure and smile, and said, "Hello Aunt Chen, you are out..."

"Yes, I chatted with the officers very pleasantly, I can't talk well at the door of the house, let's go, come and say" After that, Chen Xixi led Yaer and Shi a few steps to a clearing, far away from the box, Chen Xixi asked: "Shi'er, how long have you been here, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I just arrived, and I'm looking for you, uh... I... By the way, Mom, she asked me to ask you about the ingredients in the last dish, and if those officers and adults have any taboos... Belch... Yes, did Sister Han Xiao ...... just now" Yaer and Shi now replied a little incoherently.

"Oh, this matter, your sister Han has already told me just now, and I will explain it too, haha, Shi'er is good, I have been thinking about the affairs of Aunt Chen's store, come, let's go, let's go to your mother." ā€

Yar and Shi's bodies are now a little stiff, and at this time there is a feeling that there are words in their mouths that are difficult to spit out, and Chen Xixi saw that Xiao Shi'er was very silent, and asked strangely: "Shi'er, what's wrong with you?"

Yar Shi looked at Aunt Chen's eyes, his heart was flustered, but now he had to be calm, and it was difficult to resist the temptation of cultivating true practice. Yar Shi paused for a moment, but still spoke: "Aunt Chen, I... I ......"

"What's wrong with you, Shi'er, did your mother say you?" Chen Xixi couldn't help but start worrying when she saw her dear little Shi'er like this, and immediately squatted down and asked with concern.

"I... I..... It's nothing, Aunt Chen, I may have just ...... Afternoon... A little tired... I—" Yar, Shi paused again, and then said, "I... It's really nothing...... Mom is fine, too..."

"It's okay if it's okay, look at my Shi'er who is tired!Let's go, go to the kitchen with Aunt Chen, by the way, Aunt Chen will bring you something delicious, then sit down and eat slowly, take a good rest, don't be busy yet~Let's go~" After that, Chen Xixi got up naturally as usual and took Yar Shi's little hand and began to walk towards the kitchen. Yar and Shi, who were rubbing their footsteps behind step by step, were still absent-minded, and slowly followed Aunt Chen.

At this time, Yar Shi sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes that were both excited and sad.
