Chapter 398: Generals Who Don’t Know How to Read People’s Eyes
"Lin Xi, I smelled the aroma of chili peppers from a distance. I was wondering why there were chili peppers in the military camp. It turned out that you brought them. Why did you come here to cook today? Are you worried about your uncle and came here to cook for him?"
After General Cao and General Zhao finished discussing things, they followed the scent of chili peppers and came over. Seeing that Lin Xi had just cooked a plate of stir-fried shredded pork, he reached out, picked up a few long strands of pork, stuffed them into his mouth, and began to chew them with enjoyment!
"Yeah! Lin Xi's cooking is still the best!"
General Cao swallowed the shredded pork, smacked his lips, gave Lin Xi a thumbs up, and his eyes were glued to the cooked dishes!
"Uncle, it was Jun Moxie who said he wanted to eat the food I cooked, so he asked me to cook for him! But I also cooked portions for uncle and a few generals, so we can eat together later!"
Lin Xi served out the spicy fried large intestine and smiled at General Cao.
"That's great. Thank you for your hard work, Lin Xi! I'll go call Lao Zhao and the others!"
General Cao secretly pinched a piece of large intestine and put it in his mouth, then turned around and was about to go to General Zhao's tent. Before he took two steps, he saw General Zhao coming over with several generals who had just discussed the matter.
"Miss Lin, it turns out you are cooking. We can smell the fragrance from far away!"
"Miss Lin, is there any portion of this dish for us? It's not made for Lao Cao alone, is it? He can't finish it all by himself. Can we have some?"
"Miss Lin, your dish is so tempting that it's almost making me hungry!"
......
Several generals soon came to Lin Xi and General Cao. They talked and laughed with Lin Xi, and swallowed their saliva as they looked at the cooked dishes.
"I was just about to call you, but Miss Lin Xi said that we can all eat these dishes together!"
General Cao patted General Zhao on the back and said with a laugh.
"It is my honor to cook for you generals. Please wait a moment. I will cook a few more dishes and we can eat!"
Lin Xi looked at the generals who were staring at the food with shining eyes, and smiled heartily.
When Jun Moyue came back, she saw Lin Xi chatting and laughing with several generals, and a few grown men were attentively handing her things!
He frowned slightly and walked over quickly!
"Your subordinate greets the Regent!"
"The general has met the regent!"
......
Seeing Jun Moyue coming, several generals quickly put down the things in their hands, knelt on one knee respectfully, and saluted Jun Moyue with a fist!
"Get up, generals, are you done with your work? Are you all right?"
Jun Moxie put one hand behind his back and asked expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty, we have arranged everything!"
General Zhao opened his mouth and reported to Jun Moye.
"Oh? Really? You generals have worked hard these past few days. Go back to your tents and have a rest. I will order someone to prepare some sumptuous meals for you and reward you well!"
Jun Moxie raised his eyebrows and looked at the generals and said that at the moment he felt that these guys were really an eyesore!
"Lord Regent, that's not necessary. Miss Lin Xi prepared so many delicious dishes. She invited us to eat together! We are in for a treat today!"
General Cao glanced at the food that was emitting an enticing aroma, then looked at Jun Moyue and laughed.
Upon hearing this, the other generals nodded repeatedly and politely told Jun Moyue that there was no need for anyone to cook for them. They were just waiting to eat the food Lin Xi cooked!
Jun Moxie narrowed his eyes and looked at the generals who didn't know how to read his expression. He clenched his hands tightly behind his back. He felt that they were very troublesome, but it was not easy for him to ask them to leave. He wanted to have dinner with Lin Xi alone.
"Jun Moxie, I made a lot of food, enough for all of us to eat. Can we eat together later?"
Lin Xi's gaze swept between Jun Moyue and several generals. Although Jun Moyue had a blank expression on his face at the moment, Lin Xi caught a glimpse of the clenched fist behind him. Then, looking at the sincere looks on the faces of the generals, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and said to Jun Moyue.
Seeing that Lin Xi had already spoken, Jun Moxie could only cough, nodded, and said to General Zhao and the others, "Generals, please bring these prepared dishes to my tent!"
"Leng Yi, take a few generals to prepare tables, chairs and other things!"
Jun Moyue called Leng Yi over and gave him an instruction, then he winked at him!
Leng Yi understood, bowed to the generals and said with a smile: "Generals, the master is sorry for the hard work of the soldiers, so he asked them to go and rest. Please follow me and move the tables, chairs and benches!"
"That's nothing. We can move all the tables and chairs in one trip. Let's go!"
"Lord Regent, I will take my leave first!"
"Lord Regent, we will go to your tent to prepare first!"
.......
After General Zhao and his men bowed respectfully to Jun Moyue, one of them carried two dishes and followed Leng Yizhao to Jun Moyue's tent.
For some reason, they felt a sudden chill on their backs. They turned around and looked, but didn't find anything wrong!
Jun Moxie withdrew his gaze from the generals and looked at Lin Xi with a gentle expression.
"Miss Lin, is there anything I can do for you?"
He walked quickly to Lin Xi and asked with a smile.
"Help me get that plate!"
Lin Xi had just finished frying another fish fillet. He pointed at the empty plate in front of Jun Moyue and said with a smile.
Jun Moxie quickly picked up the plate and handed it to Lin Xi. Lin Xi picked up the pot and scooped the fish fillet into the plate.
The two of them cooperated very well!
Lin Xi cooked two more dishes, then clapped his hands and smiled at Jun Moxie, "Jun Moxie, the dishes are ready, let's go find my uncle and the others!"
"Come on, I'll take it!"
Jun Moxie rushed to pick up the last two dishes and smiled gently at Lin Xi.
The two of them came to Jun Moyue's tent talking and laughing!
"Meet the Regent!"
When the people in the tent saw Jun Moyue and Lin Xi coming in, they first bowed respectfully to Jun Moyue, then smiled and nodded to Lin Xi as a greeting.
After Jun Moyue returned to the tent, his face returned to his usual expressionless look.
He waved his hand to ask several generals to stand up, and was about to invite Lin Xi to sit next to him, but General Cao strode to Lin Xi and took her away.
"Lin Xi girl, come and sit next to your uncle!"
Jun Moyue looked at General Cao, who was proudly holding Lin Xi and showing off to the other generals. He clenched his fists and felt like hitting something.
He secretly exhaled, adjusted his mood, strode to his seat and sat down, raised his teacup and said to General Zhao and others: "I will use tea instead of wine to toast you generals. When I ascend the throne next year, I will definitely reward you generals and soldiers according to your merits, and I will not let your blood flow in vain!"
