Since the general got anorexia, the old lady has been unable to sleep at night. She must have news from the general every night in order to eat in peace.
The housekeeper waited in front of the pigeon coop in the backyard as usual. When dusk fell and the sky was covered with red clouds, a black spot in the distance became closer and closer. The long-awaited homing pigeon finally returned!
The housekeeper didn't dare to stop holding the carrier pigeon, and ran quickly towards Ci'an Garden. He walked through the long corridor and turned around to Ci'an Garden. The housekeeper reported:
"Old lady, the carrier pigeon is back!"
"come in."
The old lady was sitting at the table, looking at the food on the table with no appetite. In the Lin family, the only bloodline left was Lin Ziyi!
If Lin Ziyi had any shortcomings, she would not want to live anymore, but even if she died, she would not be able to face the deceased old prince and the general who died in the battle.
The housekeeper took off the bamboo tube from the carrier pigeon, and Granny Lin took it out, took out the note from the bamboo tube, and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady couldn't see these small words clearly with her presbyopic eyes, so she handed it to Sun who was standing on one side.
Sun was the concubine taken back by Lin Haojie, Lin Ziyi's father. Before she could get married, Lin Haojie went to the battlefield and never came back. His wife also died of grief and illness. After that, only Sun and Lin were left.
Ziyi was by the old lady's side.
Although Mrs. Sun was a concubine, she was still a young girl. Seeing that she was filial, the old lady stayed by her side and treated her like her own daughter.
On weekdays, Mrs. Sun also reads letters.
"Tell me, what's written in it?" the old lady asked.
Mrs. Sun opened the rolled letter and exclaimed after just one glance: "This is incredible!"
The old lady's hands shook, and her heart beat suddenly with fear: "What happened!"
Sun smiled and said, "Old lady, this is good news! The general's anorexia is cured!"
"Okay? Oh, God bless you, God bless you!" The old lady clasped her hands together excitedly, her eyes flashing with tears.
"Look, what else is there?"
Mrs. Sun continued to look down, and her face became strange as she looked at it.
"General, do you have an outer room outside?"
"What! Outer room!" The old lady's eyes widened, looking astonished.
Not only her, but the housekeeper and other maids were also astonished.
Lin Ziyi was trained in the army since he was a child. He became a school captain at the age of fifteen, a general at the age of twenty-five, and was named a general of the country at the age of twenty-eight. His reputation is outstanding.
He is handsome and filial, but the only thing is that he has no interest in women.
At his age, the young masters and young masters of his age have already had children in groups. Some of them got married earlier, and their children can all arrange marriages.
But Lin Ziyi was still single, and he had arranged blind dates over the years, but every time he either scared the young lady away or simply disappeared.
Later, there were many unpleasant rumors spread outside. Some people said that Lin Ziyi had injured his roots in the battle, so he did not get married.
Some people say that he is not in good health, and some even say that he likes men.
The old lady was so worried that she felt panicked. Sometimes she even felt that there was something wrong with her grandson.
Hearing Sun's words, the old lady didn't react at first, and then stood up suddenly.
"Can you say that again!"
Mrs. Sun smiled from ear to ear and said: "Old lady, the general has awakened and is raising his outer room!"
"Oh, this kid is secretly raising an adulterer! By the way, go and investigate where she came from!" The old lady smiled with wrinkles on her face.
"As mentioned above, she is a dancer, but the general's anorexia was cured thanks to her cooking," Mrs. Sun said.
The old lady sat back on the chair and frowned. "Dancing Girl, isn't she a slave? It's not possible to be a concubine with this status... No wonder she wasn't brought back."
"If the general likes it, he can take her back to the palace. The old lady can use her connections to convert her slave status into a regular one!" the housekeeper interjected.
The old lady raised her hand and waved, and said: "Let's not mention this matter for now. Please reply and ask Zi Yi to bring the girl back, so that I can see what kind of girl can catch Zi Yi's eyes! And that?
A dish that can cure anorexia in one bite!”
"Okay, okay, old slave, I'm going to reply to the letter now!" The butler happily retreated.
When Mrs. Sun saw the smile on the old lady's face, she picked up the chopsticks and handed them to the old lady.
"Now that I've heard the good news, can the old lady eat?"
The old lady took the bowls and chopsticks, feeling extremely happy.
"What's the saying? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome!"
"The old lady is right, the general is a blessed man, but I wonder what the girl's character is like?"
"You'll know it once you meet her~" The old lady was happy and felt that everything was good.
Outside the door, Qu Linglong listened to what she just said, and the peach blossom cakes in her hand fell to the ground without even realizing it.
"Brother Ziyi, have you raised a foreign wife?"
She gritted her teeth, then walked quickly outside, reached the outer courtyard, and said to the maid beside her:
"Go tell dad and let him find a way to get rid of that outer chamber. Brother Ziyi belongs to me, Qu Linglong! I will never allow others to get involved!"
"Ah sneeze!"
Xia Jin sneezed, rubbed her nose, and thought to herself who was talking bad about her behind her back?
I looked at the dark sky outside and continued to count the coins.
Every bit of the cow she bought from the old man was processed into dishes, and then sold out, making her a small profit.
But these are small amounts of money, far from enough for her needs.
What Xia Jin needs is more money!
The population of Wangxi Town is limited, and most of them are locals. There are few outsiders. If you open a restaurant here, no matter how delicious the food is, you won't be able to make a fortune.
You have to open a branch and open it in a big city!
Xia Jin looked at the helper chef she had just recruited today.
"Ah Hao, let me tell you about the salary issue! Food and accommodation are included, and you get five taels of silver a month. If you work for a long time, your salary will be increased to twenty taels of silver. Of course, if you are capable enough, you can be a chef, that
I will raise your salary to forty taels a month and give you 1% of the hotel’s revenue as a year-end bonus at the end of the year. What do you think?"
This treatment was very high in Yan State, and Mu Baihao nodded without hesitation.
"This is great!"
Seeing that he agreed, Xia Jin asked him to go to the kitchen to show off his skills.
Mu Baihao ran to the kitchen, chopping vegetables, stir-frying and cooking in one go.
Xia Jin held her chin and looked at his strong forearms. When he was shaking the spoon, the clearly visible muscle lines were extremely beautiful.
That serious face, thick eyebrows, big eyes with deep honesty, high bridge of nose, tight and resolute lips, wheat-colored skin showing bronze light under the firelight, this is not that kind, not only has good looks,
Is there any muscular man with strength?
He cooked the dish and brought it to the table. Xia Jin took a bite and her eyes lit up!
I found the treasure myself!
Let’s change this kitchen into an open one tomorrow~
Watching the handsome man cooking will definitely attract a lot of female guests. Then arrange some drinks and drinks, it will be perfect!
