In the upper circles of power, it is unrealistic to hide at home alone in order to eat well, you have to have intersections with people in this circle, or rather, you have to have your own connections.

In addition, there is only one other way, that is, to be a lonely minister, but being a lonely minister requires the absolute trust of the emperor, which is not so easy to do, and not everyone can do it.

The current Li Xin belongs to the kind of person who has no connections in the capital, and the invitation handed over by the Seventh Prince is to share part of his connections with Li Xin.

In a sense, this thin invitation is not lighter than the deed handed over by Cui Jiuniang yesterday, and even more than Yicheng's proud building.

Li Xin did not hesitate, put this exquisitely made invitation into his sleeve, and then laughed softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for looking at it, I will definitely go to the banquet on time tomorrow." ”

If you refuse to be proud of the building in front, you can also use reactive power to excuse yourself, but if this invitation is pushed away again, it will not give face to the Seven Princes, Li Xin is not a person who does not know what to do, he can be in the current situation in the capital, and the Seven Princes have made a lot of efforts from it.

The Seventh Prince, Ji Wen, smiled with satisfaction, he held the half-eaten fried chicken leg with one hand, and patted Li Xin's shoulder with the other.

"Li Xin, you are very good."

In the entire capital, there are not many people who can know how to advance and retreat, and the young man in front of him, who was born in Yongzhou, not only knows how to advance and retreat, but also knows how to measure proportions, which makes the seventh prince of the Great Jin Dynasty very satisfied.

As he spoke, he took another bite of the fried chicken leg that Li Xin had made, and praised: "Also, your cooking skills are much better than those cooks raised at home." ”

Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince glanced at Li Xin strangely, and asked, "It is said that when you were in Yongzhou, life was not very good, how did you get something out of either mutton or chicken?" ”

In fact, because of the backwardness of the productive forces, in the vast majority of the ancient times, the common people were not full, and fifty percent of the people in an era could eat enough, that is the great prosperity.

As for those from poor families like Li Xin, except for some oily things that can be seen during the New Year, the rest of the time they often can't see meat all year round, and they can't even eat fine grains all year round.

Li Xin's situation in Yongzhou, the Seventh Prince sent someone to understand, so he was a little curious about the food that Li Xin made.

Li Xin was stunned, then lowered his head and smiled: "I haven't eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run, when I was in Yongzhou before, I couldn't eat meat, so I have been thinking about how to wait for the day when I have money, and after a long time, I figured out a few methods, but I didn't expect that after getting it out, His Royal Highness liked it a lot." ”

For Li Xin's statement, the Seventh Prince obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any further, after all, everyone has more or less secrets in their hearts, and in a blink of an eye, a chicken leg was eaten by him, he took out a square handkerchief from his arms, wiped his mouth, and smiled at Li Xin: "This chicken leg method, you have to write it down for me when you go back, and when I return home, I want to let those people at home also learn to do it." ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

"I'll write it down to Your Highness later."

When the two were talking, Xiao Jiu, a girl who came with the Seventh Prince, also finished eating the fried chicken leg in her hand, she wiped her oily hands and mouth, and looked at the Seventh Prince with unfinished eyes.

"Anything else?"

There was something coquettish about her tone.

Li Xin secretly glanced at the maid of the Seventh Prince, and saw that this girl was wearing a small cyan jacket, looking fifteen or sixteen years old, combing a delicate double flat bun, with bangs hanging down, a pair of big eyes under the black hair, and her facial features were also very atmospheric.

It's a standard beauty.

However, Li Xin only glanced at it and did not continue to look at it.

As the seventh prince said, this girl is the maid he has brought with him since he was a child, then even if she is the forbidden body of the seventh prince, others can't look at it, although Li Xin has a love for beauty, but he is not a person who likes to die.

The law and order in this era is very poor, people who kill people for a woman are everywhere, and what is even more terrifying is that this seventh prince is not illegal to kill people!

The Seventh Prince glared at Xiao Jiu angrily.

"My daughter's family, there are no rules at all, didn't you see that I was discussing things with Li Gongzi, how do you know how to eat?"

Xiao Jiu was a little unconvinced, she glanced at the Seventh Prince Ji Wen, and then at Li Xin next to her, and finally said with some grievances: "People don't have enough to eat......

Li Xin glanced at this little nine girl with some surprise.

In this era of strict hierarchy, no maid generally dares to talk to the master like this, and the Seven Princes don't seem to be angry at all, this situation is either that this girl is not a maid, or the Seventh Prince has spoiled her since she was a child, so that she has exceeded her duty as a master and servant.

In the end, it was Li Xin who broke the deadlock, he opened his mouth and smiled: "Your Highness, Miss Xiaojiu, this chicken leg is gone, if you two like it, you can get some more and send it to His Highness's house another day, there is only some chicken left at home today, if you don't dislike it, go down and get it for the two of you to eat." ”

At this time, it was the appearance of the time, that is, around ten o'clock in the morning, Qi Gongzi and Xiao Jiu both came over after breakfast, and the two of them were not ready to have lunch at Li Xin's place, but after the two fried chicken legs just now, these two people both moved their index fingers and nodded involuntarily.

Li Xin simply chopped the two local chickens with their legs into chicken nuggets, and then made a big pot of braised chicken nuggets, his cooking skills were already good, and the whole big pot of chicken nuggets was full of color, flavor, and flavor, especially the spicy seeds in the pot, which made Li Xin himself drool secretly.

Before chili peppers were introduced to China, China mainly relied on dogwood, garlic, and ginger to make spicy flavors.

At this meal, the Seven Princes and Xiao Jiu both ate two large bowls of rice, and when they finally said goodbye, they walked out of Li Xin's courtyard with their support for the wall, Li Xin sent the two of them to the gate of the courtyard, and the Seven Princes touched their bulging belly while saying: "Li Xin, you have to write down the way to make this chicken, and when you come to my house for a banquet tomorrow, bring it to me together!" ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Okay, when I go to His Highness tomorrow, I will definitely bring it to His Highness." ”

The Seventh Prince waved his hand: "Your Highness is not Your Highness, in private, you just call me Gongzi." ”

Li Xin smiled silently.

I didn't know the identity of the Seventh Prince before, it didn't matter what I called it, but now that my identity is public, I still have to pay attention to what I call it, Li Xin doesn't want to bring any trouble to himself because of the title problem.

Xiao Jiu, who was wearing a blue and white jacket on the side, reached out and pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and there were little stars in both eyes.

"Li Gongzi, can you go home with me, I want to eat your cooking......"

Li Xin looked at the Seventh Prince a little speechlessly.

The Seventh Prince Ji Wen's face darkened, he stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Jiu over, and said with a dark face: "What crazy words, people are just interested in cooking, and they are just doing it occasionally, how can they cook for you every day?" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Jiu's shirt, and the two of them gradually moved away.

Li Xin watched the two of them leave, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At present, it is certain that these two people are by no means a master-servant relationship.

He took out the purple invitation card from his sleeve, the invitation was wooden, the workmanship was very exquisite, and there was a fragrance, Li Xin took a deep breath and opened the invitation.

On the address of the invitation, there are a few large letters written on it.

"Yongle Fang, Wei Wangfu."
