Lin Shucheng was genuinely angry.
However, Lin Jinyue said, "Forget it, why get angry with this kind of person? Let's deal with this birthday banquet first."
Although the servants of the Li family all had their noses in the air.
The manager tried his best to meet their requests.
For example, Lin Shucheng only knows how to cook, but doesn't know how to plate food.
Ancient banquets were particularly elaborate.
I wish I could carve a Qingming Scroll onto a vegetable.
Lin Shucheng didn't know how to do those things; he could only guarantee that the taste would be delicious.
When Lin Jinyue asked the manager for two experienced chefs to help with cooking, they agreed without hesitation.
For dishes like braised food, you have to start stewing it tonight, otherwise it won't be flavorful.
Lin Jinyue didn't have to do any work; she just had to direct others.
People from Lingnan generally prefer milder flavors, but based on her experience running a shop, she knows they also enjoy strong, spicy flavors.
The climate here makes it easier for beans to burst into bloom.
However, Lin Jinyue had some medical knowledge, so she could just give them some medicine to clear heat and reduce inflammation after the treatment was finished.
Lin Jinyue didn't take the banquet very seriously.
The Li family went too far, so the exquisite fondant cake she had prepared was turned into an ordinary, simple cake.
She first tried it out, whipping eggs into cream, and then using the special tools that Li the blacksmith had given her, she quickly created a beautiful flower.
Then she used fondant to make a simple peach and placed it in the center of the cake.
Finally, she wrote a blessing in jam.
Lin Shucheng leaned closer: "Daughter, teach me too. Isn't your mother's birthday in a few days?"
Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "Dad, I know you want to learn how to make fondant cakes like that beauty, right?"
Lin Shucheng, despite his advanced age, was rather embarrassed, and his face turned red.
Back in her previous life, when her father was still a domineering CEO, Lin Jinyue thought he looked rather handsome when he was embarrassed.
He worked in the fields every day during this period, and he became much stronger, with his skin tanned dark.
At this moment, acting shy and coy is a bit hard to describe.
Lin Jinyue said to her father, "Dad, stop being so love-struck. Let's get these things sorted out first."
Lin Shucheng then began to work.
Preparing the ingredients was the most troublesome part, but with two experienced kitchen helpers, Lin Shucheng was saved a lot of trouble.
The two kitchen helpers stared wide-eyed when they saw Lin Jinyue make a cake.
Their unusually good attitude actually stemmed from their desire to secretly learn from each other.
It's tough being in the Li family.
If you have a unique skill, wouldn't you be able to get ahead quickly?
To everyone's surprise, Lin Shucheng didn't give him a chance at all.
As early as yesterday, they had already sewed together various seasonings using clean gauze, making them into seasoning packets.
Add them in and cook together; they'll absorb the flavor, but no one will know what seasonings were used.
Lin Jinyue plans to open a restaurant in the future; that kind of thing can make a lot of money.
How could I possibly hand over the secret recipe?
They worked all afternoon, preparing everything they could in advance.
Lin Shucheng and the others were arranged to stay in a separate courtyard.
The father and daughter squatted in the yard, unable to hold back their emotions.
Lin Jinyue lowered her voice: "Father, you know, the rich people in ancient times really had it good. They even had such precious orchids planted in a secluded villa."
In his previous life, Lin Shucheng also enjoyed tinkering with these things.
This orchid could easily sell for several million.
Lin Jinyue noticed a somewhat thin seedling of the same variety next to the orchid.
She was getting a little itchy to do it.
Lin Jinyue ran outside somewhat embarrassed and handed the beef jerky and pork jerky made by her mother to the maid on duty at the door.
She smiled sweetly: "Sister, here you go."
The young maid Xiulan didn't look down on anyone; instead, she smiled and said, "Thank you."
Lin Jinyue then asked, "Sister, I think the flowers in that yard are quite pretty. Can I dig up a couple?"
Xiulan smiled and said, "I planted this in my spare time. If you like, feel free to pick it."
Lin Jinyue looked at this round-faced girl, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was so easy to talk to, but she had to keep watch at night.
She then said, "Why don't you sleep in the side room tonight? It's getting a bit cold outside."
Xiulan simply said, "No need, it's my duty."
Lin Jinyue sighed inwardly.
My enthusiasm waned considerably in an instant.
Lin Jinyue quickly squatted down in front of the flowers.
They started digging, noisily.
She wasn't greedy; she only dug up one type of each.
[System: Congratulations, host! You have obtained 1 Cymbidium orchid seedling, 5 Cymbidium orchid seeds, 5000 experience points, and 70 taels of silver.]
[System: Congratulations, host! You have obtained 1 Cymbidium orchid, 5 Cymbidium orchid seeds, 7000 experience points, and 100 taels of silver.]
[System: Congratulations, host! You have obtained 1 Red Jade Bead, 5 Red Jade Seeds, experience points, and 150 taels of silver.]
[...]
After Lin Jinyue had pulled up all the flowers and plants in the yard, she was completely numb.
The round-faced maidservant outside the courtyard felt a pang of sympathy.
But looking at the dried meat Lin Jinyue had given him, he didn't say anything.
[System: Congratulations, host, on reaching level 10! You are rewarded with 2 acres of farmland, which you can use to unlock more farm crops.]
[System: Congratulations, host, the system shop has been upgraded, unlocking the trading function. Unlocked items include: chili peppers, tomatoes, Vivi brand toilet paper (unlimited), printer paper, new energy lights, a new energy oven, and a quantity of seasonings...]
After upgrading to level 10, quite a few things are unlocked.
There are several types of new energy lights that have been unlocked, including chandeliers and night lights...
Exactly! The price is outrageously high. A night light that used to cost three or five yuan on Pinduoduo is now being charged 888 yuan by the system.
It wasn't a copper coin, it was 888 taels of silver.
This is outrageous!
It would be better to wait until she starts thinking about wind power generation.
Lin Jinyue then looked at the newly unlocked trading function.
Once you enter the section, most of the functions are grayed out; only the "Buy" window is usable.
Just as Lin Jinyue was about to try to learn the principle of the generator, she saw the transaction fee of two taels of silver.
Okay, goodbye.
She changed her offer to buy something else: "The detailed manufacturing process and materials of a spaceship," for 999.9 billion taels of gold.
Then exchange it for the complete set of textbooks for the nine years of compulsory education, the handling fee is 1888 taels of silver.
Then switch to "[Learn Math from Scratch, From Elementary School Textbooks to Advanced Mathematics]", with a handling fee of 20 taels of silver.
Okay, Lin Jinyue understands.
It's estimated that the greater the technological leap, the higher the fee.
Although nine-year compulsory education is fundamental, it also incorporates a lot of cutting-edge technology, which is why it's expensive.
The benefit of opening the trading channel is that she can buy whatever she wants from now on. Not to mention the Industrial Revolution, she might even develop more advanced technologies.
Let's look at the other sections.
[Auction], [Trading Hall], [Purchase Requests], and a few other grayed-out sections that are difficult to see.
Clicking on these three sections results in an "insufficient permissions" message.
