The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

After dinner, the smoke from the kitchen dissipated, and the busy day came to a temporary end.

The dishes were neatly stacked in the cupboard, the pots and pans on the stove had been washed and put back in place. After a busy day, Manager Cai and a group of kitchen servants were about to go back to their rooms to rest.

A soldier came over quickly, his voice a little hurried: "Manager Cai, General Long wants you to come over."

Upon hearing this, Manager Cai began to murmur in his heart.

Although he was not on the parade ground, General Long Yin's reputation and style on the parade ground today had already spread throughout the entire military camp.

General Long is now highly appreciated by General Wu. Manager Cai did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately hurried away with the soldier who delivered the message.

At this time, Liao Qinglan had already put on his clothes, smeared a layer of gray powder on his face, and dressed up like a skinny and dusty boy.

Liao Qinglan suffered a lot of humiliation when she was in the palace in her previous life.

At that time, in order to humiliate her, Liao Wan'er often sent servants to show off their power in front of her.

When she saw Manager Cai, she tried to recall the sarcastic faces of the servants. She raised her head and said arrogantly, "Are you the manager of this kitchen?"

Manager Cai saw that although the young man was thin, he was standing next to General Long and thought that he must be someone he could not afford to offend.

"That's right. I wonder what instructions the young general has?" Manager Cai said with fear and trepidation.

Liao Qinglan sneered and deliberately said, "Orders? Not really. It's just that when I first arrived, I ate leftovers every day. I've long wanted to see who is in charge of the kitchen in this camp."

When Manager Cai heard this, his heart tightened.

He secretly glanced at Long Yin, and saw that Long Yin was looking at the young man indulgently, with no intention of stopping him. He guessed that he must be a favorite of General Long.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he dared not show it on his face. He could only explain with a smile: "Young General, you don't know. The rules in this military camp are very strict. The daily distribution of meals is determined by the people above. We in the kitchen are just following orders and have no say in the matter."

Liao Qinglan deliberately raised her voice a few notes: "Can't make the decision? My brother and I have been here for three or four days and we can't even have a hot meal. You just say you can't make the decision and that's it?"

Manager Cai knew that the young man was deliberately making things difficult for him, and he was extremely anxious: "Young General, what do you want to eat? I will arrange it for you tomorrow, no, I will arrange it for you right away, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

This is exactly what Liao Qinglan was waiting for.

Her goal had been achieved. She turned around, sat on the wooden chair next to Gu Mingzhao, stretched herself, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled cynically.

"Life has been so hard these past few days that I want to eat something sweet. Can you make me some candied haws?" Liao Qinglan said.

Upon hearing this, Manager Cai looked embarrassed.

He and the cooks under him were all latecomers.

They were all forcibly conscripted into the military camp, and because of their poor physical condition, they were sent to the mess hall.

On weekdays, being able to cook enough food to fill my stomach is already the limit, so how could I know how to make candied haws?

"Young General, we really don't know how to make candied haws. How about you try something else?" Manager Cai answered stiffly.

Liao Qinglan glared at him and scolded, "Can't make it? Then why don't you find someone who can? If I can't eat the candied haws today, you'll have to find someone else to take over your position as manager!"

Manager Cai was overwhelmed by Liao Qinglan's aura and had no choice but to take on this difficult task and retreat in embarrassment.

He secretly groaned in his heart, but he also knew that he had little influence in the military camp and anyone could suppress him, so he had no choice but to follow the orders of General Long.

Manager Cai gathered the kitchen staff and ordered everyone to follow him to search each tent in the military camp for someone who could make candied haws.

Hard work pays off, and after unremitting efforts, they finally found it.

The person they found was Liang Wu.

Liang Wu was also a straightforward person, so he simply accepted the task and followed him to the kitchen.

Hawthorn can be used as medicine and is always available in the kitchen.

Liang Wu carefully washed the hawthorns one by one, removed the stems and cores, and placed them neatly on bamboo sticks.

Then he built a small fire, put on an iron pot, and began to boil the syrup.

His technique is skillful and he controls the heat just right.

After the syrup was ready, he poured it on the hawthorns, and each hawthorn was evenly coated with a thin layer of sugar coating.

As the syrup cools, the crystal clear candied haws gradually take shape.

Manager Cai was very nervous, fearing that General Long would be dissatisfied with the candied haws and take his anger out on him.

"Sir Liang, this candied haws is what General Long wanted at the parade ground today. If you go and deliver it yourself, maybe you will be appreciated by General Long!"

Liang Wu was a simple and honest man. He did not notice the evasive look in Manager Cai's eyes and agreed immediately.

Liao Qinglan waited in the tent for more than half an hour and became a little sleepy.

She yawned, and Gu Mingzhao saw it: "Go and rest for a while, I'll call you when someone comes."

Liao Qinglan shook her head. "You have just established the image of a mysterious master here during the day. Leave this kind of bullying to me."

Gu Mingzhao knew that she wanted to help, so he let her go.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Liao Qinglan straightened up and looked outside the door expectantly.

I saw a sturdy soldier walking into the tent holding a string of crystal clear candied haws in his hand.

The skin of the candied haws has an alluring luster, and you can almost smell the sweet aroma.

Liao Qinglan took the candied haws, took a bite, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She put down the candied haws in her hand, glanced at the soldier, and said lightly: "This candied haws is well made. What's your name?"

"In reply to the general, my name is Liang Wu."

Liao Qinglan was delighted. She didn't expect to find the person she was looking for so easily.

She remained calm and continued to ask, "Do you have an official position in the army?"

"Thanks to the generals for their kindness, I am now serving as a centurion in the camp."

Liao Qinglan was secretly delighted. Since he had a position in the army, he must know more than an ordinary soldier.

"Liang Wu, I feel like I'm very compatible with you. I really like your candied haws. I heard there are dozens of centurions in this military camp. When will you be able to make it? Why don't you follow my elder brother in the future? What do you think?"

Liang Wu was stunned when he heard this.

Many people heard what Wu Mo said on the parade ground today.

It is said that Long Yin will have great potential in the future, and his official position may even be higher than Wu Mo.

This is a rare opportunity. If I could follow someone more powerful, I might have the chance to leave the barracks and return to Jizhou to see my parents.

Liang Wu weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "Thanks to the general's kindness, Liang Wu is willing to follow General Long!"

Gu Mingzhao, who had been silent, slowly said, "In that case, come find me tomorrow morning, and I will tell General Wu that I will leave today."

Liang Wu left Gu Mingzhao's tent respectfully.
