Chapter 228 Entering the palace to look at the menu
Lin Xiaoman looked happy after hearing this, and took out a palm-sized glass mirror from under the table, "What about this?"
Lu Jin didn't know what Lin Xiaoman gave him at first, but when he turned it over in his hand and saw himself clearly in the mirror, he was stunned.
It wasn't that he was completely surprised by the magic of the mirror, but it was the first time he saw himself so clearly that he couldn't recover for a while. He was so handsome! The gold, silver, and bronze mirrors he used before buried his face.
Handsome.
Lin Xiaoman saw him staring at the mirror with his eyes wide open, and pulled his sleeves, "What? Are you stunned by your handsomeness?"
Lu Jin, who was brought back to his senses by her, blushed. It sounded like he was narcissistic, but he was indeed more handsome than others.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but take a look: Well, the person reflected in the glass mirror still looks good, and he doesn't change his shape.
Lin Erhu didn't speak for a long time. When he saw Lu Jin staring at the mirror, he was a little speechless: Why is Brother Lu so ugly?
But think about it, the first time he saw a mirror in a shopping mall, he stared at it for a long time.
Lu Jin took the mirror in his hand and thought about it for a while but didn't know how to price it. After all, this mirror was really rare, and it was not an exaggeration to say it was worth a fortune.
Lu Jin asked: "Are there any mirrors like this?"
Lin Xiaoman still says the same thing: "You can have as much as you want."
Lu Jin knew it well, "You prepare a few more, and I will send these mirrors to the palace. When the reputation of the mirrors spreads, I will have people take the mirrors you prepared and sell them at the treasure hunt."
Treasure auction? This is the first time Lin Xiaoman has heard this word, but it sounds like an auction.
She has participated in auctions, but she doesn't know if the auctions at this time will be the same as in later generations.
Seeing Lin Xiaoman's curious face, Lu Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Want to go?"
Lin Xiaoman looked resentful, "So what if I want to go? You won't let me go out."
Lu Jin suddenly felt a little distressed. He thought that since she came to the capital, except for the first few days, she could go shopping on the streets, but later she never left the house at his request. She must have been bored.<
/p>
He couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't be anxious. After the matter is settled in a few days, I will take you around the capital."
Is the matter over? Lin Xiaoman thought that Lu Jin had been busier in recent days, and suddenly worried that he was doing something dangerous, "Tell me the truth, are you doing something dangerous secretly?"
Lu Jin held her hand and comforted her, "It's nothing. I'm just tracking down the traitors. We already have a clue. It won't take long to catch them all."
Lin Xiaoman became even more worried and wanted to persuade him, but Lu Jin said: "It's okay. I don't need to charge into the battle. It's all left to my subordinates. As long as you stay in the house and don't go out, my people will be guarding you outside.
There will be danger."
Lin Xiaoman sighed, "You said you are just a small county magistrate, how can you do such a big thing? I don't know what the emperor is thinking? He doesn't have anyone capable around him?"
Lu Jin's hand tightened, and his expression suddenly became guilty, and he stammered: "Maybe... maybe the emperor trusts me more?"
"Maybe I'm using you as a spearman." Lin Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him, knowing that she couldn't help with these things, so she could only hold Lu Jin's hand back, "You must be good."
"Well, with you and Erhu, I won't joke with my life."
Lin Erhu, who was silently watching the show, was suddenly cueed, and was a little confused for a moment. He didn't understand why his future brother-in-law suddenly wanted to take him with him after he was talking sweet words to his sister. He was not their treasure.
But why are you so moved?
The mirror and drinking utensils were taken away by Lu Jin, and Lin Xiaoman began to live a busy life in the eyes of others.
During the day, when I have nothing to do, I go shopping with Meng Meng. If something happens, the crew will rush over to help.
But I don’t know that there are rumors in the capital that Princess Qingping, who never leaves home but is always told that no one can be found in the palace, is she cold and unkind? Or is she timid and afraid to see people?
On the tenth day of May, eighteen days before the queen's birthday, the queen was discussing the dishes to be used with several daughters-in-law. The princess suddenly said: "I heard that the chef in Qingping County is very skilled and the pickles and sauces he makes are so delicious.
You think the food is good, right? Why not invite her into the palace to discuss it together, and maybe let her give some advice."
Thinking of the specialties she asked Eunuch Fang and his party to bring back to Beijing when she was conferring a reward to Lin Xiaoman, the queen couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Although Lin Xiaoman brought some souvenirs from Qingping County to Beijing this time, due to the hot weather, some things could not be transported over long distances, so there were not many things he brought into Beijing.
After Princess Qingping came to the capital, it seemed that the princess was very busy and did not bring any delicious food to the palace. This made the queen somewhat dissatisfied and she all went to the capital.
I don’t know how to prepare some delicious food to please the emperor and give her more benefits. Is there a pig brain in her head?
But as a queen, she couldn't let people go to Lin Xiaoman's place to beg for food, but she was so greedy.
The Crown Princess was still sensible and offered to let Princess Qingping help her look over the menu.
"What the Crown Princess said is true, then Princess Qingping will enter the palace tomorrow."
There was a calculating smile in the eyes of the Crown Princess. She still didn't believe that the Queen's call could allow Princess Qingping to hide in the Princess's Mansion and pretend to be a bastard.
Meng Meng has returned to Qingping City. If Lin Xiaoman doesn't receive a call from the crew in the past few days, he will stay in the mansion and not go anywhere.
It was no surprise when she was summoned by the Queen. Now she is also a famous person serving the country and the people. It is strange that the Emperor and Queen only summoned her once. What the hell is going on when she is only asked to enter the palace to read the menu?
As for the cooking skills of the royal chefs in the palace, which one is not better than her? It's just that they can't cook some famous dishes for later generations. The dishes they cook are beautiful and delicious. If she is asked to point fingers, it will make people laugh.
But if you don’t say anything when you enter the palace, will the queen think you are perfunctory? Then give me some suggestions?
For this reason, Lin Xiaoman searched many specifications of ancient royal birthday banquets on the Internet, but the one he could find the most was the Manchu-Han banquet.
But many of the dishes on the Man-Han banquet were from rare animals. Lin Xiaoman didn't want to cause harm to these animals because of his talk, so he finally chose some dishes with good meanings. He planned to be flexible after seeing the menu in the imperial dining room tomorrow.
Because he entered the palace during the day, Lin Xiaoman could see much more clearly this time. Looking around, it turned out that the movie city looked more grand and domineering.
The queen is receiving her married woman who is coming to Beijing at the Changchun Palace. The birthday banquet is coming soon, and more officials and their family members are coming to Beijing from all over the world. There are also many old people and virtuous women who are very prestigious among the people.
The Queen has not had much leisure these days, and Changchun Palace is very busy every day.
