Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 317 Cooking
in the kitchen.

Lin Ji hadn't cooked for a long time. Although it was an unfamiliar kitchen, it was not unfamiliar to use it.

Kill the chicken and let it bleed, remove the hair, and chop it into evenly sized meat pieces.

Boil the water, blanch the chicken, then put in the ginger, onion and garlic to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma.

The chicken is not taken out until the foam in the water is cleaned up and the water becomes clear.

The spices have already been prepared, and the pot has been heated.

Soon, the chicken was put into the pot, and at the same time, the side dishes were neatly arranged, and the sauce was also adjusted.

Ordinary people need to follow a step-by-step process, but Lin Ji focuses on two tasks without making any mistakes. His movements seem extremely smooth, as if he has been a chef for decades.

After a while, the sautéed and fried chicken hit the plate, and then put the side dishes in, poured the prepared sauce, and sprinkled cooked sesame seeds.

"Chuan Shu's slobbering chicken, tsk tsk."

Lin Ji couldn't resist taking a sip first, and then narrowed Mei's eyes.

Although there are a lot of delicacies in this world, and the difference from the previous life is not too big, there are always some flavors deep in my memory, and I still have to find them out by myself.

The rice on the other side was already steamed, so Lin Ji directly called Lu Zhaoer to the kitchen. .

"Pack the rice by yourself, and take out the dishes by the way. I'll fry two more vegetables and cut some beef." Lin Ji ordered without raising his head while he was busy.

This kind of feeling made Lu Zhaoer quite novel. She had never done this since she was a child.

"What kind of dish is this, why is it so fragrant?"

"Drooling Chicken, this is the only one I created." Lin Ji smiled, "Does it make your mouth water when you smell it?"

Lu Zhao'er didn't answer, and went out with the tray.

After a while, she came back and took two small bowls, filled them with rice and took them out together.

In less than a moment, Lin Ji also fried the remaining two plates of green vegetables, brought them together with the neatly sliced ​​sauced beef, and came to the restaurant.

Lu Zhaoer was already eating, and it was obvious that she was very reserved, she only took a small bite of the meal, and there was a small pile of chicken bones neatly placed in front of her.

Seeing Lin Ji's appearance, she blushed slightly, and quickly got up to take the plate from Lin Ji's hand and put it on the table.

"I'll try it."

"Hahaha, just try it, if it's not enough, I'll make it for you."

During the dinner, the two of them didn't talk much, and they didn't drink any alcohol, they were all immersed in cooking.

Soon, all the dishes on the table were eaten, and Lin Ji even ate another bowl with the rice with the soup of the saliva chicken.

When Lu Zhaoer saw Lin Ji's actions, she seemed a little moved, but she still held back.

After the meal, Fang An brought tea.

After Fang An left, Lu Zhaoer said, "I just saw the servants your housekeeper brought in. The gardener and the cook are nothing but the girl who works as a maid. I think it's a bit strange."

"strangeness?"

"The one who can be a maid is naturally not from a wealthy family. When a girl from an ordinary family enters the gate of the mansion, not only is she not disturbed, she even dares to look at me for a long time. Do you think this is normal?"

Lu Zhaoer said in a low voice: "Even if I, a night traveler, don't show off my aura deliberately, I shouldn't be an ordinary girl who dares to look directly at me."

Lin Ji agrees with this.

The energy and spirit of a monk is very different from that of ordinary people, especially after the fifth stage, when the primordial spirit is activated, the invisible power is enough to make ordinary people fear.

It's okay if you are very familiar, or you just catch a glance or two by accident.

But when they met for the first time, they dared to look at the monks of the fifth realm.

"Let me look back, maybe the eldest lady of some family is in decline." Lin Ji said casually.

It's just a small thing, he doesn't care.

Lu Zhaoer nodded, but she just mentioned it casually.

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Lu Zhaoer said again: "Remember you were curious about why Master Sun wanted to put Wu Gui in prison for a month?"

"tell me the story."

"In the past year, there has been an editorial department in Beijing, you know about that, right?"

Of course Lin Ji knew, he also slaughtered a sixth-level eunuch from the compilation department.

"Is this related to the editorial department?"

Lu Zhaoer sighed softly, lowering her voice a bit.

"Since Mr. Gao rebelled against Jiantiansi last year, there have been many voices against Jiantiansi in Beijing."

"It's normal." Lin Ji was not surprised.

How important is Jiantiansi, the Great Qin has stood for a thousand years, and Jiantiansi has existed for a thousand years.

He also heard people say that Jiantiansi is another imperial court.

Although this statement is presumptuous, it is not without reason.

In addition to nominally obedient to the words of the sage, Jian Tiansi has always closed his door to do business from top to bottom, and outsiders can't control him.

"Gao Qunshu's betrayal made the court's view of Jiantiansi extremely negative. Many ministers said that Gao Qunshu dared to use the whole of Daqin to pave the way for his cultivation. Who knows if Jiantiansi will publish a second Gao Qunshu."

The smile on Lin Ji's face softened a little.

This is a heartbreaking statement.

"So there is an editorial department?"

"Yes." Lu Zhaoer nodded, "The editorial department is basically composed of monks in Ouchi, who only listen to the orders of the Holy One, and only care about the safety of Jingzhou."

"Not only that, compared to Supervisor Tiansi who doesn't participate in government affairs and ignores civil servants. The editorial department is different. As long as they see it, they can take care of it if they want. No one dares to ask, because they represent the holy will."

Hearing this, Lin Ji somewhat understood.

"So the existence of the editorial department has greatly weakened the power in Mr. Sun's hands? It can even be said to make Mr. Sun's position very awkward."

"That's right, with the editorial department, the Tiantiansi Yamen in Jingzhou becomes dispensable." Lu Zhaoer nodded.

"Then what is the relationship between Wu Gui and Wu Gui's father and the editorial department?"

"Commander Wu Chengsi is the right minister Mu Hanfei's man, and Mu Hanfei is the person who tried his best to promote the establishment of the editorial department." Lu Zhaoer sighed softly, "The establishment of the editorial department depends on the advice of the ministers. But the Secretary of General Administration has put in a lot of effort."

"So that's why that kid Wu Gui has been hated." Lin Ji laughed dumbfounded.

"All in all, the Supervisor of Tiansi now regards the Director of Jishi as a thorn in his flesh, but if the higher-ups don't speak up, the lower-level people are not easy to make trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Ji was no longer interested.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, if the editor doesn't provoke me, I have the right to ignore it."

"That's the reason." Lu Zhaoer's attitude was the same.

Lin Ji is alone.

Lu Zhao'er has Lu Guangmu, the Lord of the Town, behind him.

Compared with others, the two of them have more confidence.

At this moment, Fang An suddenly walked into the restaurant quickly.

"Master, there are people coming from the palace."

Lin Ji was surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a 50-year-old eunuch walking in.

"You are Lin Ji?" The eunuch's voice was hoarse.

"it's me."

"Tomorrow morning, wait outside the palace and listen to the announcement."
