Chapter 209 Hehe, are these all for this system?
Wan Sutong lowered her head and chuckled. Wan Yanzhong looked at Wan Sutong in confusion, "What's wrong, Nannan?"
Wan Sutong waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay."
Eunuch Chen laughed and then transformed two wooden boxes and handed them to Wan Yanzhong, "This is a small gift from the Minister of Revenue and our family."
Wan Yanzhong took the wooden box without knowing why and said "thank you" and then handed it to Wan Sutong. At this time, four guards carried a wooden box into the mansion. Wan Yanzhong quickly said, "Nannan, lead the way and take you to sister Luo's room."
Wan Sutong nodded and then brought four guards to Luo Lin's door. "Just put it here."
The guard put down the wooden box and bowed and left. Luo Lin heard the noise and came out of the room. Luo Lin had changed into a sky blue waist-length skirt and had her hair tied high, looking heroic. "Miss, who sent this?"
Wan Sutong smiled and handed the wooden box in her hand to Luo Lin. "These two belong to the Minister of Revenue and Eunuch Chen. I smell that they should be ginseng." She pointed to the big box on the ground and chuckled. "This is a reward from His Majesty. Maybe he was so happy to hear that you, Sister Luo, got married."
After hearing this, Luo Lin asked in confusion, "Why would His Majesty reward me?" Wan Sutong walked up to Luo Lin and told her the whole story.
After hearing this, Luo Lin nodded with a little concern. "I was wondering why Zhou Lang was in such a hurry to run home."
Wan Sutong raised her hands and hugged Luo Lin, constantly comforting her, "Sister Luo, don't worry. With my husband here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't get an order." After saying that, she turned around and hurried to the front yard again.
Luo Lin looked at Wan Sutong's back, lowered his eyes and nodded, "I hope so, nothing will go wrong after tonight." Then he turned around and put the wooden box back into the house.
When Wan Sutong returned to the front yard, she saw more than a dozen people, young and old, in the yard, all of whom were faces that Wan Sutong did not recognize. Just when Wan Sutong was embarrassed, she finally saw Uncle Sun at the door. "Uncle Sun, why didn't you bring Auntie here?"
Uncle Sun heard this and said, "Manager Wan, you are so embarrassed. I don't know. Your aunt is Zhou Lang's cousin. She went to help."
Wan Sutong exclaimed in disbelief, "What a coincidence!"
At the same time, in the kitchen, the cook put down the spatula and looked at Zhao Hongyu who was also holding the spatula. "Son-in-law, I'll go and see how many people are here. Please order these three pots for me."
Zhao Hongyu didn't stop frying and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
The stoker walked out of the kitchen quickly and then came to the front yard but froze in his tracks. Somehow, four more tables were added to the original sixteen tables, and not far away, twenty maids were already walking towards the kitchen. Seeing this, the stoker hurried to the kitchen, looked at the dishes in Zhao Hongyu's pot and then at the dishes in his own pot, "Oh no! Four more tables! Son-in-law, do you know how to calculate? Your dishes are just right, and mine are obviously not enough!"
Zhao Hongyu shook his head and chuckled, "It was just a coincidence. You can divide it up as you see fit. If it's really too little, just fry some more. There's still time."
After that, the maids walked into the kitchen and saluted Zhao Hongyu in unison, saying "Son-in-law". After that, they walked forward and picked up a plate each, forming a long queue as if they were waiting for Zhao Hongyu to get food.
After all 20 dishes were served, Zhao Hongyu put the last spoonful of celery fried meat in the pot into a small bowl, then walked to the covered pot and opened the lid. The hot steam was billowing and the aroma was fragrant.
Compared to Zhao Hongyu's calmness, the fireman was sweating profusely because this was the first time he had cooked for hundreds of people since he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion eight years ago. Seeing Zhao Hongyu already serving the second pot of food, the fireman was completely panicked by the fragrant smell. He had been a fireman for decades but couldn't even compare to the prince of the palace. He had to perform well, otherwise the prime minister would ask him to pack up and leave after today.
Thinking of this, he quickly served the first pot of food. Although each dish did not look like much, fortunately they were vegetarian dishes. Too much would only cause the Prime Minister's Mansion to be criticized.
At this time, 0533 slowly floated into the back kitchen, then sat on Zhao Hongyu's shoulder, looking at the steaming stewed pork ribs in the pot, swallowing his saliva continuously, "Host's husband, can this system often use your skills?"
Zhao Hongyu took a small bowl with a smile on his face and put the last few pieces of ribs in the pot into the bowl, and placed it next to the small bowl of celery and meat.
Seeing this, 0533 hugged the two ceramic bowls excitedly and said, "Hey, are these all for this system?"
Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly and then sent a message to 0533, "There is another soup, come over later."
0533 ate the ribs in his hand and shook his head. "This system will just wait here." 0533 was in the form of a gingerbread man, so it looked like he was holding a piece of ribs and chewing them. It was very cute. After eating a piece of ribs, 0533 stood on the stove and looked up at Zhao Hongyu. "What soup?"
Zhao Hongyu raised his lips slightly and walked to the fifteen steaming clay pots not far away. 0533 followed him and opened the lid to see the golden chicken soup which looked very delicious. There were chestnuts, chicken and red dates. 0533 drooled at the sight. "It's actually chestnut stewed chicken soup!"
At this time, Cui Er led the maids into the back kitchen. They were holding a tray with an empty blue and white porcelain soup pot on it. "Uncle, is the soup ready? The Prime Minister asked me to ask."
The stoker waved his hand and served the last dish. "I don't know. Ask your uncle."
Zhao Hongyu extinguished the fire under the casserole and took off the lid. "Come here."
When Cui Er heard this, she hurried over with her maid. Seeing this, 0533 looked like a deflated ball. "Can there still be a share for me?"
Zhao Hongyu did not answer. After a while, when the maids left, he saw that there were still two casseroles of soup left. Seeing this, 0533's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Wow, are these two pots mine?"
At the same time, Zhao Jinghua sat behind his desk. Although he held a book of military tactics in his hand, his thoughts had already drifted out of the palace wall and toward the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Zhao Jinghua sneered and then put the book of military tactics on the table. He turned his head to look at the willow branches swaying in the wind outside the window. Not long after, he heard footsteps outside the door, which made Zhao Jinghua retract his thoughts. "Since you are here, just come in. Why are you lingering outside the door?"
The next moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Huang Tizhong walked in wearing light armor. He then knelt down and saluted, "I pay my respects to the Regent."
"Well, get up." Huang Tizhong did not get up but lowered his head after hearing this. "I shouldn't..."
Before Huang Tizhong finished speaking, Zhao Jinghua interrupted him and said, "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It's just human nature."
Huang Tizhong sighed and lowered his head when he heard this. The next moment, he heard Zhao Jinghua speak again, "When I was a young man, how long did you follow me in the military camp?"
Huang Tizhong frowned when he heard this and said with a hint of fear, "More than five years."
Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and picked up the teacup beside him. He then used the lid to push away the tea leaves floating on the water. "So you were in Mingbei Camp when I first entered the battlefield?"
Huang Tizhong was terrified when he heard this and replied, "That's right, I joined the army when I was young."
