Chapter 82

Lu Xiaohua peeked at the letter Gu Yu was writing and found that it was:

"recommendation?"

She quickly covered her mouth. With this shout, Gu Yu found her peeping.

Gu Yu didn't care whether she looked at it or not. Without looking back, she continued to write calmly like a breeze, and casually replied to her: "yes, Mr. Cao is looking for a cook recently. You don't have to recruit someone to your home. You can also be a guest minister. As long as you have the ability, I have dealt with Mr. Cao in my early years, and all I can do is to give you a stepping stone."

Lu Xiaohua immediately understood what he meant.

Even if Mr. Cao retires, it's not something that she, a little peasant woman, can see. Even if she does, why let Mr. Cao eat what she makes and be her umbrella?

Gu Yu said that he could only give her a knock on the door, but this "knock on the door" was very important.

Gu Yu wrote it quickly. When the ink was dry, he put it in an envelope and handed it to Lu Xiaohua with both hands.

Lu Xiaohua took over, only felt that the letter of recommendation was heavy.

The next day, Lu Xiaohua carried a jar like a wine jar into the carriage. Tian falai took her to the county.

When they get to town, the cart will be shorter in half an hour. When they get to the county, the cart will take a long time. Lu Xiaohua doesn't know how long it will take. However, with Tian falai's more skillful control of the cart, they arrive at the county in more than two hours.

After Tian falai is familiar with the route, it should not take two hours. In ancient times, two hours was equivalent to four hours of Lu Xiaohua's last life. Today, this trip adds up to about five hours, but it's only time to come.

Lu Xiaohua checked the jar. Fortunately, the jar was sealed, and the ice inside didn't cut much.

Gu Yu told her the address where Mr. Cao lived. She and Tian FA came to the county town, and then asked someone to find it.

When he arrived, Lu Xiaohua was still very worried. He was worried that if Mr. Cao did not see her, or was not satisfied with her food, he would help her in case of trouble in the future?

Her idea with Gu Yu is that as long as the food she makes is delicious, as a guest Qing, she will come to cook a meal for Mr. Cao from time to time, and then every time she sets up a stall to sell food, she will keep one for Mr. Cao.

Originally, she was very confident in herself, especially in the era when the world, cooking and other aspects were backward, her chances were even greater.

If Mr. Cao likes to have a big meal and snacks every day, the person who loves to eat must not be allowed to cook for him one day. Naturally, no gangsters are allowed to pay high protection fees and land rent.

Lu Xiaohua doesn't ask for much, as long as she doesn't let her business go down in Mr. Cao's "territory".

But when she arrived at Lord Cao's residence, she was a little timid.

I'm afraid that the food I cook is not as good as Mr. Cao's, or Mr. Cao just eats and doesn't care about anything else. Even if her stall is opened, it doesn't matter. She won't give her any protection...

don't say how much she thinks, this kind of thing is very likely to happen. It's possible to imprison her and let her only cook for him.

The more you think about it, the more you panic.

She did not understand how Gu Yu could think so well when he told her, and ignored these more realistic and more likely problems?

It seems that Gu Yu's determined expression and tone at that time, and his implicit understanding of Lord Cao gave her inexplicable confidence?

Lu Xiaohua couldn't help pinching the envelope that Gu Yu gave her. Thinking that it was a recommendation letter that Gu Yu wrote to her, her heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Since Gu Yu is so confident, things should not be as bad as she thought, right?

In front of his apprentice, no matter how anxious he is, he has to be calm and confident. Lu Xiaohua straightens his clothes, asks Tian FA to help him hold the jar, and then knocks on the door.

It wasn't long before someone came to open the door and asked Lu Xiaohua kindly who he was and what he was doing here.

Lu Xiaohua explained a little and handed out the recommendation letter.

The servant who opened the door was not in a hurry to inform her. Instead, he invited her in first, sat down in the reception hall, and asked someone to bring her tea and water. Then he took the letter of recommendation to go to Lord Cao.

Lu Xiaohua was a little confused during the whole process.

Are all the servants of the Cao family so good? Oh, that man should be more than a servant. He should be in charge of Cao's house. Otherwise, how can he command his maid to bring her tea and water.

But before I read the recommendation letter, I treated her as a stranger. Is it the style of the Cao family or something else?

The 11-12, who was staring in the dark, had a headache.

Is Mr. Cao stupid?

It turns out that Mr. Cao is not stupid. He just told the steward to be polite if someone came with a letter of recommendation today. As a result, the steward guessed too much and thought that he was so enthusiastic.

Cao Zhonghai came soon.He is about fifty years old. He is a bit fat and has a moustache. He laughs very kindly. But he has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his official prestige has not faded. When he sits on the throne, he has a good bearing.

Although he is polite and polite to Lu Xiaohua, he is also unfamiliar and defensive. The questions he asks are normal and necessary. He can't pick out any mistakes or doubts. He only makes people feel that Mr. Cao is a good man.

Lu Xiaohua's suspicions have been dispelled. Since he wanted to recommend himself to be a guest of the Cao family, he naturally wanted to show his skill.

Cao Zhonghai deserves to be a gourmet. His kitchen is the most seasoning that Lu Xiaohua has seen since he came to this world. It can be said that there are almost all seasonings available here.

Lu Xiaohua also brought his own capsicum and his own spices made from Chinese herbal medicines such as Zanthoxylum bungeanum, cinnamon and dried ginger. Some of them are available in the world, but he only thought they were medicinal materials. He didn't know that they could be used as spices, such as Zanthoxylum bungeanum.

Like pepper, it tastes pungent and sour when eaten alone.

What's better than pepper is that it can also be used as medicinal materials. It's also said that some people have used it to make vegetables, and they can buy it on the market. They don't have to find a reason to plant it, just like pepper. It's not widely used in condiments in life.

There are many things similar to Chinese prickly ash. Lu Xiaohua found several things in aunt Hu. After selling breakfast in the town several times, she went to some spice shops, pharmacies and other places to collect several kinds of materials that can be used as seasoning and are similar to thirteen spices.

Recently, she also made bean paste, garlic paste and chili paste.

Otherwise, even if the boiled meat slice can be made, it will not be so delicious.

Today, Lu Xiaohua didn't think of any other design. He made the purple lantern of boiled meat slices and eggplant meat that he had made yesterday.
