Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Processing (2)_1
“What a quick-witted little lass.” The young man in white finally started to acknowledge Lin Ziyin with a proper look. Interesting! He had never seen such a bold woman before.
“If the people outside want to eat, they will have to pay extra.” Lin Ziyin added.
“Fine.” The young man in white instructed his attendant to toss a silver note, “A fifty taels silver note should be enough to cover today’s al, right?”
“Enough.” Lin Ziyin quickly stepped aside to admit them.
Only then did the two boys set foot in the courtyard.
Despite its small and dilapidated state, the farrs’ courtyard had been kept extrely clean. The family, too, was dressed neatly, indicating a hardworking household.
“Do not enter the kitchen.” Lin Ziyin declared nonchalantly.
The young man in white stiffened, then retorted disdainfully, “I wasn’t planning to.”
Lin Ziyin nodded, “I feel relieved then,” and stepped into the kitchen.
The remaining youth’s face turned beet red, while Chu Suifeng rarely exhibited a hint of amusent on his face.
“Ziyin, we have run out of at.” Guo Huiniang tugged at her sleeve anxiously as soon as Lin Ziyin entered the kitchen.
“No worries, it’s just they won’t be having the best al.” Lin Ziyin said, chuckling lightly.
The young man outside heard this clearly. Lin Ziyin’s comnt about them not having the best al thoroughly infuriated him, “at, I’ll buy it myself. You there, go to the market and buy at right now.”
“Yes, sir.” The attendant that ca with the youth respectfully assured him before the sound of horseshoes started to echo outside.
“We only have plain boiled water at ho, I hope you lads can make do.” Lin Ziyin walked in holding a kettle.
“Leave it there.” The young man in white commanded lordly.
Lin Ziyin silently placed the teapot down and left the room. She didn’t mind his arrogant attitude one bit. Not to ntion the ancient tis, even in modern tis, many rich people flaunted their wealth and acted like lords.
Given that the two gentlen voluntarily handed over their silver, Lin Ziyin wouldn’t dare to show them a long face.
“Gentlen, please make yourself comfortable.” As the head of the household, Lin Changshu took on the duty of entertaining the guests. Sitting in the room, he felt awkward all over. He was utterly stifled internally but couldn’t leave.
Lin Ziyin checked the kitchen to find so braised at was left. Noticing fresh offal like intestines and vegetables and cilantro sent by the Bai family and Lou Zheng yesterday, she began to think about what to cook.
“Zige, go to the village and buy so eggs, buy plenty, I’ll keep so.” Lin Ziyin instructed Zige.
“Alright.” Lin Zige responded nervously. She never had such noble guests at ho before. Now she was so scared that she was at a loss of what to do.
However, she knew that the two gentlen had paid in silver, so they couldn’t be short-changed in this al.
Lin Ziyin started to prepare once she took stock of the supplies at ho.
Stir-fry pork intestine, stir-fry kidney, stir-fried pork liver with garlic sprouts, stead eggs. There was enough fish to make fish dumplings and braised fish. Once the at arrives, she could add in dishes like twice-cooked pork. That should be enough.
As she mused, she began cooking.
Lin Zige quickly returned with a basket of eggs, “Is this enough?”
“It’s plenty.” Lin Ziyin said with a smile, “Sister-in-law, go borrow so plates and bowls from Lou Zheng’s house.”
“Alright.” Guo Huiniang hurriedly went out.
“at.” A guard placed a big chunk of pork into the kitchen, also bringing a basket full of items.
Lin Ziyin checked and found that there were ribs and two freshly slaughtered chickens.
Help indeed arrived in a ti of need.
She decided to add sweet and sour ribs and boiled chicken to the nu.
With the clanging noises echoing from the kitchen, the scent of food began to waft throughout the courtyard in no ti. The young man in white sitting in the room sniffed appreciatively, his entire being seeming eager to move.
“It slls quite appealing, let’s see how it actually tastes.” He laughed as he spoke to Chu Suifeng.
Chu Suifeng glanced at him, then turned his gaze toward the kitchen. It was quite unusual for a rustic household to produce soone with culinary skills. He was also curious to learn if the young girl was just bluffing.
