Chapter 227: The Xiyan Army Pressed the Realm
Sun Xikui's eyes lit up when he heard the housekeeper's words, and he turned his head to look at the young Hou Ye who was checking the ingredients not far away, and asked in a low voice, "Steward Shao, this little Hou Ye is easy to get along with, right?"
Shao Zhong said: "This is a kind master, it is not difficult for you to greet An Lehou and let An Lehou teach you a few hands."
Sun Xikui nodded, "Thank you Steward Shao for your advice."
In order to continue to work in the General's Mansion, Sun Xikui decided to curry favor with this young An Lehou.
Jing Yi didn't care about others, she only made some food for herself and Shao Yichen. After all, Shao Yichen now needs to replenish his body. She had to make medicinal food for Shao Yichen.
Jing Yi selected some ingredients, told Shao Zhong about the medicinal materials he needed, and then worked in the big kitchen.
Sun Xikui seized the opportunity now, "An Lehou, the villain will give you a hand."
Jing Yi also had the heart to point out Sun Xikui's cooking skills and said, "Okay, you can give me a hand."
Jing Yi and Shao Yichen didn't eat well for breakfast, so Jing Yi prepared to cook a few delicious dishes at noon.
Jing Yi looked at the ingredients and had a recipe in his heart. Shao Yichen's injuries are not completely healed, and it is not suitable to eat spicy food, so Jing Yi is ready to cook a few nourishing dishes.
Jing Yi saw that there was a black fish in the kitchen, which was a good thing, so he asked people to clean up and prepare to make fish fillet.
Jing Yi saw a pork that had not yet been boneless, so he asked people to remove the bones, chop some ribs to make sweet and sour pork ribs, and let people chop some meat filling to prepare a meatball soup.
Jingyi's soy sauce business has already started, and soy sauce is sold in many places. When Jing Yi was on the road, he saw a seller of soy sauce and bought some.
She saw that there was soy sauce in the big kitchen, so it would be much easier.
At noon, Jingyi made fish fillet, sweet and sour pork ribs, pot loin, garlic vegetables, minced meat tofu, and meatball soup. These dishes are enough for her and Shao Yichen to eat.
Jing Yi made some more for Han Qi and Sun Xikui to eat.
Jing Yi cooked the whole process Sun Xikui followed the side to learn, and Jing Yi also generously told Sun Xikui some things that need to be paid attention to.
Sun Xikui was grateful to Jing Yina. For a cook, that's what it takes to eat. Since then, Sun Xikui has been grateful to Jing Yina.
Shao Yichen's eyes lit up as he looked at the food brought by the servant who followed Jing Yi, "Jing Yan, what delicious food did you cook today?"
Jing Yi said with a smile: "The ingredients at home are relatively complete, so I made a few specialty dishes, and Brother Shao will try to see if it suits the taste."
Shao Yichen looked at the excellent food placed on the table by the servant, smelled the fragrance in the air, and said, "Just looking at it makes people have an appetite."
Neither of them was a restrained person, and they sat opposite each other and tasted this delicious food.
Shao Yichen ate deliciously, and felt that it would be good if Chu Jingyan stayed in the General's Mansion. But he also knew that Chu Jingyan, a marquis, must have his own affairs, and he didn't know how long he could keep them.
Shao Yichen is now mainly recuperating from his injuries, and after eating lunch, Jing Yi let him take a nap for a while, and resting more is conducive to the recovery of his body.
Jing Yi came to the south and didn't want to waste this opportunity, so he wanted to look everywhere to find some valuable species that had not been discovered in ancient times.
Jing Yi said hello to Steward Shao in the afternoon, and then took Gu Yu and a few other guards and Han Qi out on the street.
Although this Lingyun City is a border city, it has a large population, and many of them are military households, that is, the families of these soldiers who guard the border passes. Still others are purely local residents.
Jing Yi walked on the street and found that the street was quite lively, and there were many people doing business.
Jingyi is most concerned about some things with local characteristics, especially food and plants.
Jingyi found that there are many fruits that are not found in the north, such as lychees, mangoes, citrus, oranges, bayberry, etc. It's the time of summer and autumn, and there are many varieties of fruits.
Jingyi decided to collect all the fruit seedlings here, maybe she could use them in the future.
Jing Yi bought some fruits on the street, and saw that there were flower cakes and bought some. Unexpectedly
In ancient times, there were also flower cakes. This is also because flowers bloom all year round in the south.
Jing Yi also bought some flowers sold by street vendors and prepared to go back to make pastries.
There are a lot of mushrooms sold on the street, and some of them don't know each other. Jingyi bought some chicken fir mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, etc., these are all very nutritious mushrooms, and you can also replenish Shao Yichen's body when she goes back to make some delicious ones.
Jing Yi went to the street to buy a lot of ingredients this time, and Han Qi and Gu Yu, who were beside Jing Yi, were full of things in their last two hands.
In the end, Jing Yi went to the blacksmith shop to customize some tools for carpentry. She asked the master of the blacksmith shop about the place where armor was made, and there was really a master in Lingyun City who specialized in making armor. Jing Yi is going to go to the master tomorrow to make a soft armor for herself.
She also made armor in case of emergency, in case the situation deteriorated, the Xiyan *** team came to attack when Shao Yichen's injury was not completely healed, and she might go to the battlefield when the situation was critical.
After that, Jing Yi took people back to the General's Mansion.
Jing Yi directly put the ingredients she bought into the big kitchen, and used them for dinner.
Jing Yi ate two flower cakes in the room, and the taste was okay, but it was not as delicious as the one she made herself. She ate some more fruit and put some fruit in the lucky bag.
Jing Yi ate something and went to the big kitchen to clean up the ingredients she bought.
As soon as Sun Xikui saw that An Lehou had bought so many fresh ingredients, he knew that he would definitely make new dishes today, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he also helped to deal with the ingredients.
He was specifically responsible for the meals of the masters of the General's Mansion. And the master of the General's Mansion is currently a prince, plus a guest An Lehou, he just serves the tastes of these two people.
Jing Yi also secretly put some into the lucky bag when dealing with various fungi. As long as there is a seed source, she can cultivate any plant or fungus.
For dinner, Jingyi made fried mushrooms with meat, and also made a pot with mushrooms, which tasted very delicious.
Jing Yi made braised pork with good pork belly, and let people chop the meat filling to make braised lion head. It is served with two greens and a soup for another hearty meal.
For dinner, Shao Yichen was satisfied. After all, Shao Yichen is a man in the prime of life, and the amount of food is really not small, and most of the dishes cooked by Jingyi go into Shao Yichen's stomach.
Jing Yi suspected that if Shao Yichen continued to eat like this and didn't exercise, he would gain weight.
However, now Shao Yichen has started a small number of activities to prepare for the battlefield.
And Xiyan Kingdom did not give Shao Yichen time to recuperate, and on the third day after Jingyi and them arrived in Lingyun City, Xiyan Kingdom sent troops to approach Lingyun City. Moreover, the marshal who led the troops this time was Liang Wei, the general of the Xiyan Kingdom.
