Chapter 1012: What more moral integrity do you need?

"I almost understand what Madam Hua means. I will try my best to complete this mission, but what benefits will I get? I am not an ordinary man from your Lancang Country. I am a martial artist of the eighth level. I have no interest in eating and drinking. My previous wife sold me out for profit, and I just happened to not want to live with her anymore, so I came back with you. I don't care about a few bags of pearls. There is no practical benefit. I will only leave you empty-handed. I am not an unarmed man from your Lancang Country!"

Mrs. Hua smiled instead of getting angry. "I feel relieved when you say that. What benefit do you want?"

Before, she had always suspected that the couple were cheating. The outside world was not a female-dominated country like their Lancang Kingdom. She had heard that men were respected and a wife had no right to sell her husband, unless the couple were not compatible and he had something to ask for. This was reasonable.

"I'm only interested in cultivation! I want to improve my realm. I'm only in the early eighth realm now, and I don't ask to advance to the ninth realm. It would be good enough if I could reach the middle or late stages like you. At least you have to promise me that you will let me advance to the middle eighth realm!" Liao Jiu took the opportunity to blackmail.

The Lancang Kingdom must have some special and unknown methods.

Madam Hua looked at Liao Jiu steadily and said, "You have quite a big appetite. I underestimated you. However, if you really can stop Princess Qingyun from marrying a legitimate husband, then I promise to give you a chance for promotion."

"OK!"

The two reached an agreement. Madam Hua said, "You are a foreign man. You don't understand the moral ethics of men from our Lancang country. You should stay in our Hua Mansion for two days. I will send a etiquette instructor to teach you for two days. When you have learned enough, I will send you to see Princess Qingyun."

Liao Jiu was full of confidence. "One day will be enough! I can't wait to meet Princess Qingyun. No woman has ever escaped my gentle embrace."

Anyway, no one knows him in Lancang Country. His wife was willing to exile him and resort to seduction. What moral integrity does he have left?

Hu Tianhai is just bragging!

The sooner I see Lin Ziji, the better.

***

There is a windy inn.

Ever since Liao Jiu was taken away, Jiang Lianzhu clearly felt that there were fewer people staring at her courtyard.

This was an unexpected gain. After handing Liao Jiu over, no one would keep an eye on her anymore.

It is more convenient for her to act.

She believed that Liao Jiu was smart and could act according to circumstances.

Not long after Liao Jiu was taken away, she also received good news. The waiter Xiao Ka told her that Princess Qingyun's mansion had sent someone to reserve meals for Youfeng Inn. This meant that the Da'an Kingdom meal prepared for Jiang Lianzhu and the others was also to the taste of the person in Princess Qingyun's mansion. It went without saying that the chances of this being the person Jiang Lianzhu and the others were looking for were even greater.

"Girl, I told my friend that if their mansion needs a doctor, I would recommend you. Your ointment is effective and your medical skills are certainly great. However, you are somewhat unknown here. As a newcomer, it is still a bit difficult to get treatment at the mansion. However, he told us to wait for news and he will definitely recommend someone. Princess Qingyun's mansion is indeed looking for a doctor, but I don't know the specific reason..."

The young man has a point.

Jiang Lianzhu herself had expected this.

She was new here and she said she was a doctor. Who would believe her?

If a poor person happens to be ill and has no money to go to the hospital, he might ask her for treatment.

How could a wealthy family dare to take such a risk?

So, Jiang Lianzhu said, "Ask the princess's mansion if they need a chef from outside. My cooking skills are pretty good, I can come over as a chef, and I guarantee that the meals will satisfy the princess's new husband."

The young man was a little hesitant. In Lancang country, women are not required to go into the kitchen. There is a saying that women should stay away from the kitchen.

Most men need to know how to cook.

Subconsciously, he felt that Jiang Lianzhu was powerful, had high cultivation, and knew medical skills, which was already amazing. How could such a small thing as cooking be something a grown woman should do?

"Have the people from the Princess's Mansion left? I can go to the kitchen right now and make a few dishes for him to take back..."

Xiao Ka said, "No, he is waiting for lunch in the kitchen! The chef in the kitchen is still cooking."

He came to report to Jiang Lianzhu as soon as possible.

"Then take me to cook. I'm very fast and will make it in time."

I gave Xiao Ka several pearls.

Xiao Ka declined.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "You are a nobody and your words don't count. Money will make things easier for you and avoid making things difficult for you..."

Only then did Xiaoka accept it.

He thought to himself that this girl was really generous and had good character. She was a great benefactor and he must help her get things done.

Jiang Lianzhu was brought into the kitchen. Xiao Ka took the pearl and bribed the kitchen manager. The rule here was that outsiders were not allowed to enter, but if one had money, the rule could naturally be changed.

Jiang Lianzhu asked for some common ingredients.

This is on the island, and the most common meat is various fish.

Jiang Lianzhu made a spicy boiled fish, which did not contain any seasonings such as peppercorns and chili peppers. Jiang Lianzhu took it out from the personal belongings cabinet in the armory.

The personal belongings cabinet can't hold much stuff, so it's used to hold the most valuable things, such as property deeds, banknotes and other personal belongings. The extra space is also used to store some daily necessities, including seasonings.

This was a dish that Lin Ziji liked to eat in the past. Lin Ziji looked thin and had a very stubborn temper, so he liked dishes with heavy flavors.

The red peppers, sprinkled with sesame seeds and poured with hot oil, have a fragrant and pungent smell that makes people drool uncontrollably.

I also made a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, a steamed egg with shrimp, and finally, a dish of cold vegetables.

All done!

Three dishes and one soup.

It was handed over to the servant in Princess Qingyun's mansion. The servant was getting impatient and kept urging the food to come. But when he saw the dishes, he immediately shut up.

For some reason, he intuitively felt that these dishes would definitely make the ancestor in the mansion pick up his chopsticks.

He took the lunch box and turned around to take it back.

When Jiang Lianzhu cooks, the chefs in the kitchen watch. As soon as the dish comes out, the experts will know whether it is good or not.

"Girl, how did you cook this fish? Why does it smell strange, very pungent and fragrant?" If you don't understand, just ask and learn humbly.

"Girl, why did you put sugar and vinegar in this meat? Sweet and sour shouldn't taste good, so why does it look so appetizing?"

"Steamed egg with shrimp, the simplest dish, the egg custard is smoother and more delicious..."

…

Jiang Lianzhu didn't hide it, "These are all delicacies from our Zhongyuan Continent. I don't know if you are used to eating them here. If you want to learn, I can teach you a few home-cooked recipes."

The cooks in the kitchen were happy when they heard this.

Who wouldn't want to learn a few more recipes? Then, when I go out and tell people I can cook Zhongyuan Continent cuisine, wouldn't that be a great way to boost my reputation and get a raise?

"That's great! I hope you can give me some advice!"

Jiang Lianzhu orally narrated the recipes of several home-cooked dishes, and tried her best to choose ingredients and seasonings available in Lancang. The cooks in the kitchen learned and cooked what they could, and asked if they didn't understand. Jiang Lianzhu was free anyway, so her daughter was playing with the children in the yard outside the kitchen, so she taught them how to cook Zhongyuan Continent dishes in the kitchen. When her daughter was tired of playing, she could come in to try some food and comment on it.

The cooks in the kitchen initially thought that Jiang Lianzhu was just joking, but they didn't expect that she was really teaching. Even though it was time to get off work, none of them went back home. Instead, they stayed in the kitchen to learn how to cook dishes from the Zhongyuan Continent. They learned several dishes in a row, and each dish had a different flavor.
