The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 193 The Unexpected Reward

Lu Jinkang put down the letter in his hand, and tapped the letter paper with his right middle finger, with a weird smile on his face.

Folding the letter paper back into the envelope and putting it in the sleeve pocket, Lu Jinkang left the study and took Jiu'er to the small kitchen of the main courtyard where Su Yunduo was teaching.

The meat cutters, the vegetable juicers, and the barbecue cooks were all so busy that even Lu Jinkang and Jiu'er didn't notice when they came in. It wasn't until Jiu'er coughed lightly that they caught everyone's attention.

Looking at all kinds of vegetables, grass and even some bark in the small kitchen, Jiu'er, who didn't know what happened, looked dull. Didn't he say that he was roasting dried meat?What the hell are vegetables and grass and tree bark?

Lu Jinkang, who already knew the inside story, pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Yunduo was busy making her vegetable and grass juice. At this time, she was holding a small medicine pestle in one hand and was pounding the vegetables and unknown grass in the medicine mortar. With the other hand, she picked up the juice from the medicine mortar and poured it into her mouth for tasting. He tasted the juice, but he didn't expect Lu Jinkang to come over, just in time to see her somewhat embarrassing action, and he couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.

Fortunately, Su Yunduo's mentality is strong enough, so he quickly suppressed the embarrassment that flashed across his face, put down the medicine pestle in his hand, took the clean veil handed over by Zisu to wipe his fingers, and stood up smiling to see Lu Jinkang said, "Why is Mr. Lu free to come over today? But what are your orders?"

Su Yunduo taught cooking in the small kitchen of the main courtyard for about ten days. This should be the second time Lu Jinkang showed up in the kitchen. The last time he gave the sergeants who were foolishly embarrassed, this time he came here for some reason.

The sergeants probably also remembered Lu Jinkang's reprimand last time. The sergeants who were chattering and laughing just now all shut their mouths tightly at this moment, and the movements of their hands did not stop at all, and they were all doing their own things in an orderly manner.

The small kitchen is busy and not chaotic, of course, this has to ignore the vegetables, grass and bark of the whole kitchen.

"I have something to discuss with you, but what are you guys doing?" Lu Jinkang took out the letter from his sleeve and raised it, then pointed to the vegetables, grass and tree bark all over the kitchen and asked in puzzlement road.

Su Yunduo pursed her lips secretly, what happened in the small kitchen and what happened that this person didn't know about?Really can pretend!
However, Lu Jinkang insisted on pretending, and Su Yunduo was helpless. After all, he is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo. He asked again and again, so he couldn't keep answering: "Sergeant Angui pointed out that the strong smell of dried meat is not conducive to lurking. Everyone I am trying to find a suitable seasoning recipe from these herbs, vegetables, grass and bark, hoping to suppress the flavor of the meat without destroying the deliciousness of the jerky.

If you can successfully lurk, even if the enemy comes close, you will not be able to smell the jerky that the soldiers are carrying, which can improve the security of lurking. "

Angui's face turned red, he only mentioned it today, but Su Yunduo and Zisu have already tried to produce a lot of jerky, but at this moment Su Yunduo attributed it to him, this is not possible!

He absolutely cannot take the credit of Su Yunduo.

Angui hurriedly put down what he was doing, clasped his fists at Lu Jinkang and said, "Master Mingjian, my subordinates dare not take credit for it. Although my subordinates did make such a suggestion today, they were still a step too late, no, No, it was a lot slower.

These are the jerky jointly developed by Miss Su and Zisu. The purpose is to suppress the aroma of the jerky. Please taste it. "

As he spoke, he held the plate containing the dried meat developed by Su Yunduo and Zisu with the fragrance of medicine and grass and trees in front of Lu Jinkang with both hands.

Lu Jinkang came directly to the kitchen. He already had the idea of ​​tasting the new jerky. Seeing that Angui was so upbeat, he couldn't help laughing, and patted Angui on the shoulder: "Although Miss Su thought of this question before you , you are also good, work hard, and when you research the jerky that satisfies everyone, I will give you a lot of rewards."

Lu Jinkang's rare and friendly attitude and extremely fanciful words immediately attracted applause from the small kitchen.

Since Lu Jinkang came to find something for him, the kitchen is naturally not the place to talk about it. Su Yunduo ordered everyone to hand over what they were doing to Zisu, patted the clothes on his body, and followed Lu Jinkang out of the small kitchen.

The two didn't go far, they found a pavilion in the main courtyard and sat down.

Jiu'er brought some snacks and hot tea with her. Lu Jinkang gestured for the snacks and tea. Su Yunduo frowned slightly. She had something to discuss, why did she invite her to have some snacks and drink tea? ?

But when she saw that Jiu'er handed Angui to Lu Jinkang and brought over the plate of jerky, she soon understood what Lu Jinkang meant. Presumably what he wanted to talk about was related to jerky. Wait until he tastes the jerky before continuing.

Sure enough, Lu Jinkang tasted the jerky on the plate one by one, and then said: "Miss Su is really kind, she can always think of the shortcomings before others and make improvements."

As he spoke, he handed the letter under his elbow to Su Yunduo.

Su Yunduo silently looked at the words Lu Jinkang Qi on the envelope for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lu Jinkang suspiciously.

This is a letter written to Lu Jinkang by someone else, can she really read it?

Lu Jinkang smiled casually, and raised his eyebrows at Su Yunduo. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was obvious enough.

Well, just watch it, what's so great, it was Lu Jinkang who asked her to watch it, and she didn't steal Lu Jinkang's to watch it!

Thinking about this, he took out the letter and began to read it. Su Yunduo glanced at the last inscription, knowing that it was the letter from Lord Zhen Guo to Lu Jinkang, he was relieved, and curious about what Lord Zhen Guo wrote to Lu Jinkang Let Lu Jin go to the small kitchen in person and "beg" to read the letter in front of her.

That's right, Su Yunduo felt that Lu Jinkang was just "begging" her to read the letter, and couldn't help feeling a little arrogance in his heart.

Shaking his head slightly, he got rid of all the stuff in his head, and of course also cleared the trace of arrogance from his mind, and then Su Yunduo seriously began to read this autographed letter from Duke Zhen .

Surprised, unbelievable... Many emotions slowly flooded into my heart, and when Su Yunduo put down the letter, there was a little confusion in his eyes.

The original intention of making this jerky was just so that Su Chengzhi could eat well during the rural examination, so that he would have the energy and strength to cope with the nine consecutive days of the rural examination. He did not expect that Lu Jinkang's manipulation would bring benefits to the soldiers in the border town.

Su Yunduo never expected that jerky would be so favored by Lu Jinkang, not only was he sent to the palace, but also had a chance to shine, and he never expected that it would bring her a reward from the emperor.

Although this reward was not made public, and there was no big fanfare, but the letter from Lord Zhen Guo clearly stated that the reward was given to Su Yunduo by the Holy Majesty.

She has not been to the capital yet, but she has already shown her presence in front of the Holy One, which is really unexpected.

This is probably also the basis for Lu Jinkang and Zhen Guogong's family to go to the capital to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.

Although Su Yunduo was conflicted about recognizing her ancestors and returning to her clan, Su Yunduo was grateful for what Lu Jinkang had done for her, and looked at Lu Jinkang with more sincerity.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, please don't thank me." Lu Jinkang seemed to have heard what Su Yunduo was thinking, leaned back on the chair, and said lazily.

Well, if people insist on getting rid of it, then this thank you will be avoided. Wouldn’t it be more sincere to try to make some new products than verbal thanks? !
