Chapter 50
All eyes were on Zhao Liya.

Zhao Liya looked at this and that, the boss was speechless
I don't get it, why did you choose her?

Yu Gongcao was also a little surprised, "You all recommend Zhao Liya?"

"Yeah yeah!"

"Yes Yes"

Everyone nodded quickly.

It must be the girl from the Zhao family. She is so powerful that even the rascals and bullies of the Gu family and Hulu can't get cheap in her hands. If she doesn't take the lead, who will take the lead?

Seeing this, Yu Gongcao named Zhao Liya's name, took her aside and explained something.

Zhao Liya nodded in response.

She inquired about it by the way, and this general Zhong Shen is a very upright person, with strict military management and strict discipline, that's good, Zhao Liya is at ease.

The eight of them were quickly taken to Zhuangzi.

The kitchen has been cleaned up, and all kinds of seasonings and rice have been delivered.

But I haven't bought vegetables and meat yet. I'll see what they are going to do at night and make a list before buying.

County magistrate Yin specially dispatched a donkey cart to facilitate their shopping in the city.

It's not difficult for eight people to cook dinner for hundreds of people, but it's not easy either.Gotta get ready.

After discussing with her aunt and sister-in-law, Zhao Liya took two people into the city to buy vegetables.

Dried tofu, beans, pork, green peppers, and I bought a lot of pork bones and [-] eggs.

The eggs are ready, and the pork bones are reserved for making soup tomorrow morning. I have ordered [-] catties of rice noodles to make soup noodles tomorrow morning.

There are only two dishes in the evening, one is fried beans, one is pork slices fried with green peppers and dried tofu, one meat and one vegetarian.

For the vegetables needed tomorrow, I will go to the city to buy them tomorrow morning.

Zhao Liya's cooking skills are not very good, but she must have seen more pigs running than others.Originally, she was chosen as the leader because everyone thought the Zhao family was powerful, and everyone felt more at ease with her as the leader. They didn't think she had any cooking skills, but soon everyone sincerely admired her.

For example, everyone knows that beans are difficult to cook. Zhao Liya knows how to blanch them in hot water first, and then stir-fry them in a pan. This way, they can be cooked faster, and there will be no problem of one part being cooked and the other part still raw.

For example, she also knows how to blanch the fried pork first, then pick it up and soak it in cold water for a while.

More importantly, she is willing to use heavy oil and ingredients when cooking.

Although everyone knows that they are just tools for cooking and spend money from the government to buy these things, but people's habits are hard to change, for example, they are reluctant to put oil and various seasonings when cooking.

Zhao Liya is not like this.

She thinks delicious food is the most important thing.

More importantly, she didn't think there was anything to save on it.

Others grinned their teeth and twitched in distress, but she remained calm.

The result is that the cooked dishes are of course more flavorful and delicious.

Although there was only one meat and one vegetable, the officers and soldiers under General Zhong Shen were quite satisfied with the food, and they all said that this level is much better than the craftsmanship of the Huotou army!

Zhong Jing also thinks so.

He didn't want the cook specially sent by County Magistrate Yin, and Zhou Hansheng and others all ate big pot dishes with ordinary officers and soldiers.

Zhou Hansheng received Zhong Jing's secret letter, and he came here to suppress the bandits.

Well organized and scheduled, everything went smoothly.

Some of his personal guards were also slightly injured, so they are still recuperating here, planning to leave Lingnan after a while.

Zhao Liya never expected that she would meet Mr. Zhou again unexpectedly here.

Just after dinner that day, General Zhong suddenly told her to have supper, and someone came and ordered her to cook a pot of porridge, and when it was ready, it was delivered.

After leaving such a few simple words, the visitor left in a hurry.

Zhao Liya had no choice but to follow suit.

The porridge made for the general was not easy to use leftovers, so Zhao Liya asked someone to help kill a chicken, take the chicken and chop it up, cook the soup on the chicken rack, skim off the oil in the chicken soup, boil the rice, and then chop it up and adjust it Put in the delicious chicken, add some chopped shallots and green vegetable leaves, and prepare a plate of dried radish, a plate of kohlrabi and two pickles, cover it with porridge in a casserole, take clean dishes, chopsticks and spoons, Put it in a basket and send it yourself.

Qu Yutao wanted to go with her but she refused.

Although it wasn't late at night, it was night after all, so it was fine for her to walk outside by herself, there was no need to bring Qu Yutao with her.

After staying here for three days, Zhao Liya knows how these people behave, and Yu Gongcao didn't lie to her. These officers and soldiers are indeed well-disciplined, and they are not like that.She is just going to deliver some porridge, nothing will happen.

Zhao Liya carried a food basket into a study in a courtyard. One person was sitting upright in front of the desk and writing. She didn't raise her head when she heard the footsteps, and said calmly, "What's the matter with the surname Zhong calling you here? Just go back?"

Zhao Liya was taken aback, whose surname is Zhong?Is this called General Zhong?However, isn't the person in front of you General Zhong?Then the soldier brother will not be so confused that he led himself to the wrong place, right?Huh. Why, why does this person look familiar?
After all, it was someone who had been together for a night and a long time, Zhou Hansheng was outstanding, and Zhao Liya was not lame, so he recognized him quickly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The heart that was still a little bit nervous was completely relaxed!
Mr. Zhou is not a bad person!

He is the benefactor of their Zhao family, without him sending someone to help, the sugarcane planting business would not go so smoothly, not only would it cost more money, but it would also take more trouble.

Zhao Liya was about to say hello, but Zhou Hansheng didn't hear a reply from his entourage for a long time, and he realized that the footsteps sounded a little strange. The face, the bright eyes are bright, bright as stars.

The four eyes met, Zhao Liya choked on the greeting that was about to come out, her smile froze slightly, and she subconsciously looked back, "Mr. Zhou!"

Zhou Hansheng obviously recognized her, and stood up, "Miss Zhao, why is it you!"

Zhao Liya came forward with a food basket, and explained with a smile: "A military master went to the kitchen and said that General Zhong wanted to have porridge, and he ordered it to be cooked, but he brought me here, but Mr. Zhou was here. Really, What a coincidence."

Zhou Hansheng: "."

Where he was, if there was no Zhong Jing, the guards would not let her in.Zhou Hansheng had no doubts that she would lie.

After a little thought, I understand.

That guy Zhong Jing did it on purpose, right?

He has good eyesight, he must have remembered Ms. Zhao after a few glances in the restaurant that day, and found Ms. Zhao here by accident, so he deliberately teased himself, no wonder, he even found an excuse to call Zhao Nan away.
What a bad idea!

"Give it to me." Zhou Hansheng reached out to take the food basket and said with a smile, "The food you cooked is very good."

"Should be," Zhao Liya smiled: "By the way, I haven't thanked Young Master Zhou yet. If it wasn't for Young Master Zhou's help, our family's sugarcane garden would not have been planted so smoothly."
