Chapter 190: Why Favor One Over the Other?!
Thinking of this, Liu Jingyan's eyes became more determined.
For the best moon cakes, she had to get them herself, and it was impossible for these girls to pick up the cheap in vain.
Lin Yanchen didn't know the little calculations in the other party's heart, and he really couldn't imagine that the dignified Concubine Zheng Guo would compare so many moon cakes.
From his point of view, the materials used to make moon cakes are not expensive, and they are even quite common.
That is, it is a little more troublesome to do, but the trouble is the subordinates who are in charge of production, he only needs to sit and collect the results.
So this moon cake is nothing more than a small pastry for him, not enough to worry about it at all, let alone send a dozen, the main reason is that there is not enough time to do much, otherwise arrange a carriage of moon cakes.
I have received so much gold from others, and it is natural to send some moon cakes.
It's just that he really doesn't understand what Liu Jingyan is doing.
You have to go in person to get the moon cakes, this is for fear that Lao Tzu will poison the moon cakes? Or are you afraid that the mooncakes will be lost on the road?
"Uh...... Liu Guifei, what are you...... No, just moon cakes, such a little distance, the official is not going to travel to the pool, as a concubine of Zheng Guo, if you want to run errands in person, wouldn't it make people say that I am not well entertained? ”
To be honest, Lin Yanchen didn't want outsiders like Liu Guifei to go to the back kitchen.
Because there's a hard dish there! It was also the lore he arranged, roasting the whole sheep! He even set aside a stove for a luxurious barbecue.
But after a fight with Li Tie before, he didn't have time to be in the mood to grill skewers anymore.
In addition, the roasted whole sheep is still normal to the finale, the only point is that the thing is really difficult to cook, just now I heard the report of the kitchen people, it is estimated that it will take two sticks of incense to do well.
Before that, no outsiders should be allowed to enter, after all, what was inside was also a secret of the imperial court.
This is also his exclusive secret recipe, and he naturally doesn't want outsiders to see the production process.
Especially the concubine Zheng Guo in front of her.
Because of the identity of the other party, it is difficult for him to refuse directly, so he can only refuse politely.
"No need, Bengong just wants to go to the toilet, you should stop by, it's just that some moon cakes are not heavy, and it doesn't hurt to go and get them in person."
Liu Jingyan did not back down, even if it was a little indecent to say the word "toilet" on this occasion, she couldn't find any other excuse, so she had to do so.
She insisted on going to the back kitchen to have a look, in fact, there was another purpose, she also wanted to take the opportunity to see what raw materials were for Lin Yanchen's dishes, and if she saw that there were ready-made dishes, with her identity, no matter how bad she was, she could ask for a table.
Thinking about it this way, she has to go to this kitchen.
However, at this time, without waiting for Lin Yanchen to say anything, Zhou Yuanming stepped forward and glared at Lin Yanchen with a hostile face.
"My mother's concubine is Da Zheng Guifei, the highest guest of this banquet, my mother's request, you should be satisfied, now Lord Lin has refused again and again, but he is dissatisfied with my Da Zheng and is waiting for an opportunity to retaliate?"
"Yuan Ming, step aside." Liu Jingyan still scolded Zhou Yuanming, but this time her tone was much gentler.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just a show, and his true thoughts are afraid that he still has to praise Zhou Yuanming.
The ladies were not happy to see this.
How could they not see what Liu Jingyan was planning to do, and began to curse one by one in their hearts.
"This willow slut is really hateful! Pick and search, this is going to swallow all the moon cakes alone! ”
"Hmph, why is it that only her Liu slut can have moon cakes, and the old lady wants it too!"
"We must not let this girl succeed today!"
Several people hurriedly stood up, and then rushed up to surround Lin Yanchen.
"Lord Xiaolin, since there are still moon cakes, it is better to sell us some too, and we are willing to pay the price of sixteen taels of gold!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Xiaolin, you can't be biased towards Concubine Liu alone! Just sell us some new flavors! ”
"I'll pay double the price, Lord Lin, don't sell it to them!"
Facing the siege of the woman's chatter, where could Lin Yanchen stand this scene.
Especially those noble ladies are not more than forty-five years old, and they use the finest rouge gouache on weekdays, and their skin is very well maintained, and although some of the figures are not proud, they are also the plump type.
At this time, they quarreled, which naturally led to the ups and downs of the peaks, and the gullies of snowflakes flashed and flashed, almost blinding Lin Yanchen's eyes!
"Cao Cao ...... This white Yukiko ......"
Lin Yanchen only felt that the evil fire in his chest was agitated, and he was almost about to lose his mind, hugging a noble lady and gnawing.
It's just that in the end, she still used reason to defeat the evil thoughts, and forcibly suppressed the qi and blood surging in the lower nasal cavity, he pretended to be calm and pushed away the women who were swarming up, coughed lightly and said: "Ahem, everyone, be quiet first, you are so messy, you can't go to the back kitchen, besides, Your Majesty has an order, and no one is allowed to approach the back kitchen without permission, please be very understanding." ”
Lin Yanchen also had no choice but to move out of the eldest grandson Yi to come to the town.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard the word "Your Majesty", the gang calmed down.
After all, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the emperor of Changsun Yi who has the final say.
Emperor Ming ordered, if they ran to the back kitchen with so many people, wouldn't they be looking for death?
Even if they don't die, I'm afraid that Da Ming will say things like this, even if they backhand frame them for drugging in the meal and trying to kill the emperor, they are powerless to prove their innocence.
"Lord Lin, you don't want to listen to them, just take the palace alone, how about you follow the palace the whole time, so the palace can't do anything, presumably the Ming Emperor can also allow it."
Unexpectedly, Liu Jingyan still refused to give up, and still looked at Lin Yanchen sincerely.
Lin Yanchen hesitated for a moment, but nodded helplessly.
After all, if he doesn't agree again, these people don't know what else to do.
Since he is alone this time, he can still supervise the whole process, so he is naturally not afraid of what the other party will do.
And he will explain two sentences in advance and let the next person leave, so that even the preparation method of the dish will not be considered for nothing!
"That's okay, since Concubine Liu insists on going, the official doesn't dare to stop her, there is only one person, and Your Majesty will definitely be accommodating. As for the ladies ......"
He paused, turned his head to look at the ladies and continued.
"If you say a few ladies, the official will not sell it."
"Why?!"
"Why! Just sell Liu Guifei, don't sell us! ”
"No, he's sending Concubine Liu! As a result, they didn't sell to us! Do you think that we are not the emperor's concubines, so you can ignore it! ”
When several noble ladies heard Lin Yanchen say that they would not sell it to them, they immediately exploded.
However, Liu Jingyan was secretly happy in her heart, and looked at Lin Yanchen with a little more appreciation.
