Chapter 51: The Visitor
Xiao Ling, who has a great deal of research on cooking, has a deep understanding of a truth. [Full text reading]
That is, a really good chef can convey his mood to his diners through food.
In other words, Xiao Ling only maintains a happy mood, so the food she makes can be eaten in the mouths of diners, and she can also convey her joy to the other party.
This is a bit mysterious, but Xiao Ling has a very deep understanding.
Once, in his previous life, he made a delicacy with an extremely bad mood, and after letting customers taste it, he was widely criticized.
At first, Xiao Ling didn't understand what was going on, but as his chef became more experienced, he finally gradually understood the truth.
In fact, to put it simply, no matter what you are doing, when you are in an extremely bad mood, you are often very inefficient in doing things.
So with such negative emotions, the food cooked is naturally much worse than usual.
After understanding this truth, Xiao Ling will control her emotions and strive to keep her mood happy every time she cooks, and it is precisely because of this that Xiao Ling's later cooking skills have gradually been appreciated by many people.
It's just that he accidentally traveled to this big 6 later, and everything before can only be regarded as a good memory for him.
"How have you prepared these days? I heard that you have locked yourself in the house for the past five days, have you encountered any difficulties?" Zhao Wan'er asked with concern as soon as they met.
But in Xiao Ling's heart, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said casually: "What else do you need to prepare? I haven't already told the kitchen everything you need, as long as they are ready, they can do it at any time." ”
When Zhao Wan'er heard Xiao Ling say this, she couldn't help but say with disgust: "Although I know that your cooking skills are good, the distinguished guests that my father entertained this time are not ordinary people, how can you be so careless." ”
Being blamed by Zhao Wan'er, Xiao Ling shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and then said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, you haven't tasted my craftsmanship, keep it for a while and let the distinguished guest eat it until he swallows his tongue." ”
"Poof!"
Hearing Xiao Ling say so much, Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but chuckle.
Subsequently, Xiao Ling came to the kitchen under the leadership of Zhao Wan'er.
Listening to Zhao Wan'er, the distinguished guest had arrived on the outskirts of the Sea City, and Zhao Yanping had already brought Uncle Yu to greet him personally, and he was afraid that he would be able to arrive at the Zhao Mansion in the evening.
For this reason, she will come to personally supervise Xiao Ling, and she must ensure that there are no mistakes.
Xiao Ling came to the kitchen, and now the housekeeper Yan has already led a group of people to get ready, just waiting for Xiao Ling's orders, it will be up and running immediately.
Since Xiao Ling's status in the Zhao Mansion has changed, the attitude of the kitchen servants towards Xiao Ling is also a bit deliberately flattering.
Only as long as the strict housekeeper in front of him still treats him as before.
This made Xiao Ling a little impressed.
After coming to the Zhao Mansion for so long, Xiao Ling naturally knew about the relationship between Lan'er and Steward Yan, and naturally knew why Steward Yan deliberately made things difficult for him at the beginning.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is why after Lan'er was demoted to the laundry room later, this strict housekeeper didn't make things difficult for him.
Even though he still scolds him from time to time, it is very normal in Xiao Ling's opinion, because when the strict housekeeper treats others, he is even harsher than he treats him.
At this moment, when Steward Yan saw Xiao Ling and Zhao Wan'er coming in, he also stepped forward to Zhao Wan'er, first saluted respectfully, and then said meticulously: "Miss, everything has been prepared according to your instructions, just wait for Xiao Ling to do it, these people in front of me will definitely be able to fully cooperate." ”
When Zhao Wan'er heard this, she smiled slightly, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, Steward Yan." ”
"Miss doesn't need to be so polite, it's all an old servant's business. Steward Yan still said respectfully.
After the two finished speaking, Xiao Ling didn't say a word, and immediately began to prepare for the dinner.
And as soon as they got started, they also started to move in an orderly manner after Xiao Ling's hand.
Zhao Wan'er stood aside, watching Xiao Lingdi's every move seriously.
I have to say that once she enters the field she is good at, Xiao Ling has become extremely focused at the moment.
That look looked in Zhao Wan'er's eyes, but it gave birth to a bit of charm.
It's just that none of this is what Xiao Ling can know.
Under Xiao Ling's attentive preparation, a total of eleven delicacies with different characteristics were quickly completed.
Gently touching the fine sweat on her forehead, Xiao Ling looked at the delicious food in front of her, and nodded with satisfaction.
And most of the time passed unconsciously, and it was close to evening, when someone happened to report that the distinguished guests greeted by the Zhao family had arrived.
At this time, in the City of the Sea, it was still in the dim room of the Mingxuan Chamber of Commerce.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Mu and Xing Baiyi stood looking at each other, and the man in black, who couldn't see clearly, had his back to the two.
"Envoy, now that the time of two months has arrived, I don't know if the action you said before to make the Zhao family never turn over has already begun? Now there is only one month left before the deadline given by the sect master, but the Zhao family is still thriving, and the old man also heard that a big man from the imperial capital was received by Zhao Yanping to the Zhao Mansion today. Shopkeeper Mu said in a somewhat worried tone.
Although Xing Baiyi on the side did not speak, the expression on his face also showed that he was irritable at the moment.
When the man in black heard this, he said lightly: "Don't worry, after tonight, you will naturally be clear, have you waited for two months, can't you even wait for this day?"
With that, the man in black disappeared again.
Xing Baiyi was very angry when he saw the man in black looking so mysterious, but the expression on his face was still smiling.
On the contrary, the shopkeeper Namu was still worried.
Seeing this, Xing Baiyi couldn't help but comfort the shopkeeper Mu and said: "Don't worry, since that guy said so, the big deal is to wait one more night, if there is still no movement from the Zhao family by then, I will immediately tell the sect master and tell the things in my previous life one by one, I believe that the sect master understands the righteousness and will not blame you and me." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, the cloudy old eyes also revealed a different color.
After the two looked at each other, they couldn't help but laugh similarly.
The mixed laughter resounded in this quiet dark room, and it was particularly eerie.
At this time, the Zhao Mansion was very lively, and Zhao Yanping had already instructed his subordinates to get ready, so when Zhao Yanping welcomed the guests back to his home, the Zhao family was completely new.
Coming to the lobby, Zhao Yanping couldn't help but say politely to the young man beside him: "Qin Gongzi came from afar, Zhao has prepared a table of dinner for Qin Gongzi, and invited Qin Gongzi to appreciate his face." ”
Standing beside Zhao Yanping, Qin Gongzi, who had an indifferent expression, nodded disappreciatively when he heard this, and then said lightly: "The Zhao family master doesn't need to be polite, Po Wu just came to do things on the orders of His Majesty, and the Zhao family master should not be like this." ”
Hearing Qin Powu, who could only be called a teenager in front of him, Zhao Yanping didn't dare to be careless.
Just from the beginning of contact to the present, Zhao Yanping also greatly appreciated the humble attitude of Qin Powu from the Qin family in the imperial capital in front of him.
It stands to reason that the young man's temperament is backed by the Qin family, which was extremely powerful in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and Qin Powu's identity is naturally not comparable to any family in the Sea City.
Even Ning Zhongkun of the Naning family, when he saw this Qin Powu, he was afraid that his attitude was no different from Zhao Yanping at this moment.
It's not that Ning Zhongkun, who is an Earth Xuan Martial Artist, would be afraid of a small Jin Xuan Early Stage Martial Artist, what really makes them care is the Qin family behind Qin Powu, Qin Bailie, a Heavenly Xuan powerhouse who was turned into a military god by the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
The Qin Powu in front of him is the grandson of Qin Bailie, and the Qin Pojun who once slaughtered and killed seven Jin Xuanwu is his brother.
It can be said that the two brothers of the Qin family's generation can be described as blue, and no one dares to underestimate these two brothers.
Zhao Yanping didn't know the purpose of Qin Pojun's trip, but he had learned that Qin Powu came to the Sea City this time, and one of the purposes was to visit the Zhao family, which was said to be the dictation of the ruler of the Heavenly Dragon Empire.
So Zhao Yanping naturally didn't dare to slack off.
And this time, along with Qin Powu, there were also twenty Heavenly Dragon Guards sent by the royal family, as well as twenty Shadow Dance Swordsmen from the Qin family.
These two parties are also well-known in the Celestial Dragon Empire.
The Heavenly Dragon Guard belongs to the royal family, which can be regarded as the direct army of the royal family, and is responsible for the safety of the royal family on weekdays.
Among them, there are many good players, and this time they are the weakest part of the twelve Heavenly Dragon Praetorian Guards.
Don't look at their strength in the Heavenly Dragon Praetorian Guard, but these twenty people are all Golden Xuanwu, and if you take out any of them, they are much stronger than ordinary Golden Xuanwu.
What's more, these people are each proficient in the art of group standing, and twenty people join forces to fight the enemy, and they can wield one hundred and two percent of their strength.
As for the twenty Shadow Dance Swordsmen who followed behind Qin Powu, they were also composed of Jin Xuanwu, and the reason why they were called Shadow Dance Swordsmen was that these people were all good at using swords.
Fifty years ago, on the sunset slope on the border between the Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Lingyun Empire, Qin Bailie led hundreds of Shadow Dance swordsmen to lay down a sword formation covering a radius of hundreds of miles to resist the thousands of troops of the Lingyun Empire's vanguard troops.
I heard that the fight at that time can be described as tragic.
The thousands of troops of the Lingyun Empire were blocked by Qin Bailie and his hundreds of shadow dance swordsmen, and they fought for a day and a night, and in the end, they were all annihilated, and for this reason, Qin Bailie, who had not yet become a Tianxuan powerhouse at that time, was also wounded in many places, and the hundred shadow dance swordsmen under his command were damaged by two-thirds.
Fortunately, at this time, reinforcements from the Celestial Dragon Empire arrived in time and finally saved the situation.
And at the beginning, the sword array laid out by Qin Bailie, because when it moved, the sword shadows in the sky were like snowflakes dancing.
Hence the name of the Shadow Dancing Swordsman.
From this, you can know how powerful this shadow dance swordsman is.
