Chapter 682: Medicinal diet
Lin Jinqian asked his servants to prepare a table of sumptuous meals. As soon as Chu Nanxiang was pulled into the elegant room of Gaosheng Restaurant, he asked his aunt and sister-in-law to start drinking with various reasons.
Chu Nanxiang guessed that Princess Qian must have come here for the secret seasoning left by her elder sister.
Speaking of this matter, she has always been puzzled. If the eldest sister wants to include the newly developed dishes in the restaurant, it should be handed over to Sang Kun. Why only let herself keep it secret?
And she also let out the rumor that she and the third sister are in charge of the recipes now, so it is obvious that Princess Qian has a chance to **** the recipe.
No matter how capable I am, I would never dare to compete with the majestic princess. The eldest sister should know this.
After thinking over and over again, she suddenly remembered the blind recipe in the secret seasoning, Croton, can this thing really be used as a seasoning?
She seemed to be aware of the elder sister's intentions, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, she deliberately pretended to be drunk and poured it on the table.
"Miss Chu Er?"
Seeing that she got drunk so easily, Lin Jinqian patted her on the shoulder suspiciously, and didn't respond even after shouting a few times.
Tang Yuanxi looked at Chu Nanxiang quietly, and said slowly: "I heard from Cailian that the princess did give the second wife of the Chu family a seasoning recipe before leaving, but I don't know where this woman hid it. ?”
"Such a valuable thing, and it is related to the restaurant's business, she should carry it with her."
Lin Jinqian tentatively searched her body, and as expected, he found the formula in the interlayer of Chu Nanxiang's sleeve.
Excitedly opened it to look at it, when she saw the last ingredient, she was dumbfounded: "Croton? How can this stuff be used as a sauce?"
"Maybe it's medicinal food."
Tang Yuanxi speculated confidently: "Sister-in-law, don't forget that our Princess Pingning is proficient in the art of qi and yellow. It is not surprising that she uses some strange ingredients as a gimmick."
"It must be."
Lin Jinqian nodded approvingly, thinking that some of the various dishes developed by the jealous woman were serious, but they were deeply loved by diners.
She really is a country woman who spends her days doing heresy things to catch people's attention.
Lin Jinqian pouted contemptuously. The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were about to continue searching Chu Nanxiang, but they saw Yin Liuxuan rushing in.
After all, he was still worried that Chu Nanxiang came alone, so he followed him to Gaosheng Restaurant.
Looking at Erniang lying on the table, Yin Liuxuan was a little annoyed, and regardless of the identities of Lin Jinqian and Tang Yuanxi, he stared angrily and said, "What does the princess want to do to Erniang?"
"See what you said."
Lin Jinqian was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the widower cared so much about a woman he had divorced with, and followed him to his restaurant.
Quickly explained with a smile: "I originally invited Er Niang to come over for a drink, but she was so overwhelmed by alcohol that she passed out after only three or two drinks. Yuan Xi and I were thinking of sending her back."
"Don't bother the princess and princess."
Yin Liuxuan glanced at the two of them angrily, stepped forward, picked up Chu Nanxiang on his own, and walked out. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and reminded solemnly: "The governor of the capital is waiting for the imperial court with his lost soldiers and generals." On the matter, I advise Her Royal Highness to take care of herself."
After speaking, he resolutely left.
"However, a mere prince's mansion dares to take care of this princess's affairs."
Lin Jinqian glared viciously at the walking back, and when facing Tang Yuanxi, she turned joyfully and took out the hidden secret formula, and said with a proud smile: "With this formula, the business of our Gaosheng Restaurant will be more and more prosperous." The better, I will let that Yuan come to the restaurant to be empty, and when the jealous woman comes back, I will see with my own eyes who is the material for business."
Tang Yuanxi was a little worried: "Sister-in-law, we stole the secret recipe, so what should we do if Mrs. Chu noticed it?"
"Hmph, she lost it by herself. If you don't tell me, no one will know."
Lin Jinqian held the secret recipe and looked at it carefully for a moment, then quickly put it away, and led Tang Yuanxi back to the Duwei Mansion in a hurry.
Lin Jinxiao personally led the two thousand cavalry from the palace and went straight out of the city at three poles in the sun, preparing to march straight to the Changning county mansion.
Ji Huaishu was very worried about his crazy behavior, and when he got to the fork in Tanning County, he hurriedly stopped him:
"Your Highness, right now the rebel army has occupied more than half of Changning County, and there is a situation of expanding to the surrounding area. If you go deep into the hinterland, even if the reinforcements from all over the place converge, you will not be able to support Your Highness. Please follow what the old minister said and lead the army into Tanning County. It’s better to plan a decisive battle.”
Lin Jinxiao reined in the horse, turned his head to look at the winding and rugged path, and shook his head disapprovingly:
"Master Ji's strategy is sound, but the situation in Pingning Prefecture cannot allow us to hold on to the battle like this. The rebel army has been victorious in successive battles. At this time, the limelight is in full swing. I would never have thought that the king would surprise attack their lair. Then The group of rebels are nothing more than mobs, the king is the first to capture the thief, as long as I can capture the leader of the thief, I can immediately reverse the situation."
"Can"
Ji Huaishu hesitated to speak, and became even more worried.
He is the only heir of the former crown prince, the grandson whom the ancestors miss so much, how can he explain to the ancestors if he is good or bad.
"There's nothing more to do."
Lin Jinxiao clenched his fists secretly. He couldn't let the chaos continue in Pingning Prefecture. He had to put down the civil strife immediately, and then planned to welcome back Chu Nanzhi's mother and son.
"Ji Shangshu, please lead the army to Tanning County, set up more porridge sheds along the way, and order Xu Jinzhou and He Ying to lead the army to Tanning County, flanking the rebels."
Lin Jinxiao had long been determined to win this battle. Although the loss of soldiers and generals of the Tang Army strengthened the momentum of the rebels, they were all elite Tang troops after all, and they also dealt a heavy blow to the rebels.
A proud soldier must be defeated.
Not allowing Ji Huaishu to discuss further, Lin Jinxiao whipped the horse and led the cavalry along the trail.
Ji Huaishu looked at the dust rolled up on the trail, and had no choice but to lead the army to continue to Tanning County.
The cold wind in the early winter is already a bit biting, and the county mansion in Changning County is singing and dancing, and it is extremely lively.
The leader of the rebel army, Liao Chengzheng, led his subordinates to exchange cups in the hall for Yan Yin, successively defeating the elite legion of the Tang family army whose reputation had been resounding throughout the Dahe Empire.
"The Tang family's army is nothing but idiots, vulnerable to a single blow. If things go on like this, they will surely be able to invade Luyan Port before the twelfth lunar month and capture the crippled prince."
"I heard that Princess Pingning was quite charming. Even the prince of Bai Yu people coveted her. She is really a beauty in the world. At the end of the day, I will personally attack the palace and capture that woman to present to General Liao."
Liao Cheng held the wine cup and listened to the high-spirited talk of his subordinates with great interest. He was very happy when he thought that he would be able to invade the state capital and get that famous beauty in the near future.
In just a few months, he has never dared to imagine that he has grown from a rogue in the market to such an admirable commander of the armed forces.
Now occupying more than half of Changning County, his ambitions are even more inflated. He raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Let the brothers have a good drink today, and tomorrow Japan will lead everyone to gather under the city of Tanning County and win Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop." Confucianism, pointing directly at Luyan Port."
After a pause, he said with majestic encouragement: "It is said that the women in Luyan Port are born beautiful and beautiful. When they enter the city, the women's gold and silver are all yours. I will only want Lin Jinxiao's head to sacrifice the flag and command The entire Pinning State."
Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and they were about to agree, but they saw a sergeant rushing in and shouting: "General Liao, it's not good, there is an iron cavalry that tricked the east city gate and went straight to the county. from the government."
