There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 286 Flowers Bloom and Wealth

Li Shuchen: "Great, it's always good to have more skills. Once I learn them, I can make them anytime, anywhere when I want to eat them, without having to spend a lot of time and money."

Grape, full of enthusiasm, replied, "Miss is right. Grape can not only cook for herself, but also for Miss."

Li Shuchen laughed heartily: "Alright, everyone, let's go try some roasted whole lamb!"

"Good"*n

After passing the banquet venue, which was beginning to take shape, Li Shuchen waved and said, "Ziying, let's go eat roast whole lamb!"

Gu Ziying: "Coming!"

The group chatted and laughed as they followed the grapes to a large tree.

Muqi, rolling around like a lamb: "Miss is here!"

After saying that, he immediately cut off a plate of lamb tenderloin and handed it to Li Shuchen.

After Li Shuchen finished distributing the food to everyone, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Muqi, your roasted whole lamb skills are getting better and better."

Muqi smiled sheepishly and said, "The cumin that Miss gave me smelled wonderful."

Cheng Zhian ate his mutton, seemingly lost in thought: "Where did you get your cumin?"

"Young master, you cost me quite a bit of money, wasn't it worth it?"

Li Shuchen smiled smugly

Cheng Zhian smiled and said, "It seems the title of the best whole roasted lamb in the capital is about to change hands."

Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow: "Thank you for your kind words."

Liang Yuying kept a close eye on Li Shuchen, and seeing that she had finished eating, she asked, "Shuchen, would you like some more mutton? I'll cut you another piece."

Li Shuchen: "We'll eat later. I need to borrow your Mulan Army; I need forty girls."

Gu Ziying understood immediately: "The last dish, Shu Chen's whole roasted lamb as the grand finale, is not bad, but is it enough for forty girls?"

Li Shuchen: "There are about two hundred people at this banquet, with six people per table and at least forty young ladies."

Liang Yuying: "Zizhu, bring forty girls over."

"Yes, Master Ying."

Before long, a dark mass surged in from afar, encircling the two whole roasted lambs.

Li Shuchen opened his mouth in surprise: "This is more than forty, isn't it?"

Zizhu scratched her head: "As soon as I mentioned it, they all wanted to come and see."

Well, it seems everyone wants to see some excitement.

Li Shuchen cleared his throat and said, "I need forty girls to help me serve the last dish. Your task is to slice this whole roasted lamb and arrange it into the shape of the Chinese characters for 'wealth and prosperity.' Are any of you willing?"

Caiyi raised her hand high: "Me, me, me, Miss Li, I'm willing! You didn't let me participate last time, and I was so anxious. This time you must let me participate!"

Li Shuchen laughed and said, "Okay, Caiyi counts in."

Another girl raised her hand: "Me too! I attended the last banquet, I know the process, and I know how to slice the meat and plate it."

Li Shuchen nodded: "Okay, you count as one too."

Then the girls all raised their hands.

"Me too, me too! I participated too, count me in!"

"Me too, me too!"

"Miss Li, can I come with you?"

Li Shuchen kept nodding, "Okay, okay, okay."

"no"

Suddenly, one of the girls shouted.

Li Shuchen looked at the speaker: "Zizhu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zizhu: "They've all participated once, so it's our turn to participate since we haven't. We want to experience it too."

"Yes, we want to participate too!"

"Participate, participate"*n

Li Shuchen: "Everyone, please calm down."

The girls were shouting so loudly that Li Shuchen couldn't even hear his own voice.

Seeing this, Liang Yuying coldly raised her hand, and the crowd instantly fell silent, everyone trembling with fear, as if the previous commotion had been a dream.

Li Shuchen nodded his thanks to Liang Yuying, then looked at the girls and said...

"Please be patient, everyone. I have another dish called 'Seeking Flowers in the Mist.' Some of you ladies have already seen it. I need you to help me carry the kettle, pour hot water into the fruit plate, and conjure up white mist. I need forty ladies as well. Are any of you willing?"

One of the girls immediately responded, "Me! Me! Me! I've seen this dish before, it's beautiful, I'd like to!"

"That sounds like fun, I want to sign up!"

"I want to participate too!"

The girls immediately surrounded Li Shuchen.

Liang Yuying pulled Li Shuchen from the group of girls behind her and said to the girls, "You guys go find Zizhu to assign yourselves."

Upon hearing this, the girls immediately bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Master Ying."

Li Shuchen straightened his disheveled clothes, looked at the girls queuing in an orderly fashion on both sides, and said happily, "You all came for nothing, you all have something to do, not one of you can escape."

Before long, the "Blooming Prosperity" team had been divided.

Li Shuchen used a large knife to cut a whole roasted lamb into four equal pieces, pointing at the four girls in front of him.

"You four, come and cut these four pieces of mutton."

"Yes, Miss Li." *4

Li Shuchen took out a piece of Xuan paper from his pocket and placed it in front of the girls. The two large characters 'Wealth and Prosperity' were written on it.

"Piece the meat according to these two characters and arrange them. The characters are a bit difficult, so take your time, there's no rush."

"Yes"*4

The four girls carefully sliced ​​the meat, while the other girls watched.

Li Shuchen: "Grape, there are some freshly washed flowers in the kitchen, go and get them."

"Yes, miss"

Grape had just left not long ago

Caiyi wiped the knife with a rag: "Miss Li, I'm done."

I'm better too.

The girls quickly sharpened and cleaned their knives, faster than Li Shuchen had expected. This was probably because they were used to handling swords and knives and could handle them with precision.

Grape: "Miss, the flowers have arrived."

Li Shuchen placed various kinds of fresh flowers in the empty spaces of the plate to garnish, and thus a dish was created.

Upon seeing the finished product, Gu Ziying smiled and asked, "What is the name of this dish?"

Li Shuchen put his hands behind his back, tilted his head, and said with a smile, "May flowers bring wealth and prosperity, how about that?"

Ye Bingli: "Excellent, very fitting."

Li Shuchen chuckled, seeing that there was still plenty of meat left, and said, "Let four more girls practice. There's still a sheep left. You can all practice, and then share it. Don't be shy."

Miss Xie Li*n

Li Shuchen picked up a plate of 'Blooming Prosperity': "Let's find a shady spot and enjoy it slowly."

"Good"*n

The group followed Li Shuchen in search of an auspicious burial site.

"There's no one under this big tree, let's eat here."

Li Shuchen placed the plate on the stone table, then stepped onto the stool.

"General Liang, since everyone is outside right now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, there's no way any bad rumors about me could spread. So, may I join you for a whole roasted lamb?"

Cheng Zhian's sudden remark stunned Liang Yuying.

Li Shuchen, puzzled, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yuying quickly replied, "It's nothing, please have a seat, Young Master Cheng."

Cheng Zhian sat down contentedly upon hearing this, and the others followed suit.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Li Shuchen enjoyed his roasted whole lamb, occasionally expressing his admiration.

"Oh my god, it smells so good!"

Ye Bingli: "It would be perfect if paired with a refreshing little wine."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ziying said, "An Lan, go to the ice chest and fetch a few jugs of grape wine."

"Yes"

Li Shuchen's eyes nearly disappeared when he heard about the grape wine: "I love grape wine, is it going to be grape wine at this banquet too?"
