Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space
Chapter 102 Departure to the City
He Changan frowned slightly. He didn't like Li Mingxia talking to him in such a polite way. "It's just one more baby. How much can it cost? Can't I do this for you? Mingxia, why are you so polite to me?"
He Changan's words were sincere and didn't sound like a polite remark, so Li Mingxia agreed.
"Thank you very much, sir. Why don't you three go and thank Lord He?" Li Mingxia said with a smile.
He Changan waved his hand, "No need to be so polite, get in the carriage, I'll drive it."
Li Mingxia naturally saw He Changan's carriage, but did not see the other people. "Where is the county magistrate? Isn't he coming with us?"
He Changan shook his head. "County Magistrate Zhu and County Magistrate Meng of Lishui County are going together. We can go by ourselves. This way, there will be no outsiders and you can be at ease."
This was suggested by He Changan and County Magistrate Zhu, also taking into account the fact that Li Mingxia did not like to exchange pleasantries with strangers. In addition, although they did not know which child Li Mingxia brought over, they had the impression that those children were all shy, so this arrangement would make them feel more comfortable.
Sure enough, when Li Mingxia heard this, he immediately smiled, thanked him, and let the children get on the carriage first.
"Here, Lord He, this is for you." Li Mingxia handed a small bag in his hand to He Changan.
Inside were two peaches, a bag of walnut and date cakes, a box of candied dried fruits, and most importantly, a small kettle filled with scented tea made by Li Mingxia herself, with two spoonfuls of honey added. The sweet floral fragrance and the refreshing taste were mixed together, and one sip made your mouth water.
He Changan opened the bundle and saw these things and smiled: "Mingxia is really careful. It will take at least two hours on the road. Although there are some small shops and inns on the road, they can't compare to your craftsmanship, Mingxia."
Li Mingxia got on the carriage, leaned against the door, and chatted with He Changan.
"There should be another person participating in the competition with me this time? Who is it? Is it a man or a woman?" Li Mingxia had been thinking about this matter all the time, and asked when he remembered it.
"He's the head chef of Yaoxianlou, a man about the same age as my brother. Although it's a restaurant in the town, this chef's cooking skills are indeed good. He goes to Yaoxianlou for about ten days a month at most and only cooks five dishes a day. They are very expensive, but still hard to come by. Even many people in the capital city will come to our town for this dish. This time he was willing to participate in the competition just for those three rare ingredients. What do you think, Mingxia, do you have the confidence that you can beat him?" He Changan told Li Mingxia every detail of the news he had heard, and it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it.
Although Li Mingxia just asked casually, she couldn't help but accept He Changan's request.
"When I come back from the capital, I will invite you to my house for dinner. You must honor me then."
This is exactly what He Changan wanted, so naturally he wouldn't refuse.
The atmosphere along the way was very good. Because Li Mingxia prepared a lot of food, the carriage did not stop on the road. After arriving at the provincial capital, He Changan drove the carriage to the inn agreed with County Magistrate Zhu, and several groups of people met in the lobby of the inn.
County Magistrate Zhu, County Magistrate Meng, as well as the participating chefs from the two counties and their entourage had just arrived. Li Mingxia and others hurried forward to greet them.
County Magistrate Meng had been listening to County Magistrate Zhu talking about the little girl named Li Mingxia along the way, and he was a little surprised to see such a pretty girl.
County Magistrate Meng was looking at Li Mingxia, and the other participating chefs were also looking at Li Mingxia, especially the young chef of Yaoxianlou, Xiao Tianyue.
At this moment, his eyes fell on Li Mingxia's white and smooth little hands. There were no calluses or wounds on them. Her small body looked fragile and she did not look very old. Could this person be the genius cook praised by County Magistrate Zhu as the best in the world?
"County Magistrate Zhu, is this the Miss Li you mentioned? She looks really young." The speaker was a chef brought by County Magistrate Meng. He looked to be in his thirties and did not take Li Mingxia seriously at all. There was a bit of disdain and contempt in his tone when he spoke.
Li Mingxia looked back, his lips curled slightly, "You look quite old."
"But at your age, why are you still standing with me?"
Li Mingxia had heard about it a long time ago that once you win first place in this cooking competition, you are not allowed to participate a second time within five years. This is to ensure the fairness of the competition. Li Mingxia was mocking him for never winning a championship at his age.
Niu Yipan's eyes widened due to Li Mingxia's stimulation, but Li Mingxia was not afraid at all. He just looked at him, and even the faint smile on his face did not fluctuate at all, which made it clear that he did not take Niu Yipan seriously.
"A sharp tongue! I hope your cooking skills are as good as your mouth, or you won't be unable to lift the pot and bring shame to your county magistrate!"
Li Mingxia seemed to be pleased by his frustrated look, "Same here."
The more calm and composed she acted, the more Niu Yipan became irritated and her face turned red. County Magistrate Zhu smiled and did not intend to let them continue arguing.
"Tomorrow is the first round. If there is nothing to do today, just go and have some fun. Just go to bed early at night, or you may not have enough energy tomorrow."
Li Mingxia nodded, asked clearly which floor and location his room was on, and then left with his younger brother and sister.
"This little girl you brought is quite interesting. Where did you find her?" Xiao Tianyue looked at Li Mingxia's departing back with interest, turned around and said to County Magistrate Zhu.
"Didn't I tell you, he's the one who sets up a stall at Chang'an Wharf. His skills are just as good as yours. You've got a rival this time!" County Magistrate Zhu laughed loudly, as if he couldn't wait to see Xiao Tianyue being humiliated.
Xiao Tianyue raised his eyebrows. How could he have met such an interesting girl while setting up a stall at the pier?
"Well, let's try it tomorrow."
After saying this, Xiao Tianyue left with his servant.
The three little rascals looked very energetic and didn't seem tired at all. Li Mingxia felt helpless. He had been planning to take a nap, but it seemed that he couldn't do it. Thinking of this, Li Mingxia secretly took out a glass of water from the space and drank it. His spirit and physical strength were immediately restored a lot.
"Come on, I'll take you out for a walk and buy you whatever you like. Tomorrow when your sister is competing, you must follow Master He obediently and don't run around. Got it?"
The three little rascals cheered and surrounded Li Mingxia as they quickly walked out of the guest room and left the inn.
He Changan stood in front of the window, watching the four people go out, and the expression on his face was not very good.
"Sister! Look, look quickly! What is this? The color looks so pretty!"
