Since the arrival of a new chef at Qiaoyuan Restaurant, the business of Yan's Restaurant has been worsening every day. Although Yan Langqing hurried to develop new dishes, he couldn't match the chef's skill. They just came out with a new dish here, and before they were ready to make a public announcement, they also came out with a new dish over there. The ingredients were all the same, but the cooking techniques were extremely sophisticated, which soon overwhelmed their limelight.

Lin's second child was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot these days, with a bunch of singe bubbles forming at the corner of his mouth. Ever since Yan Langqing entered the palace as an imperial cook, the Yan family has shaken up, using various means to take away the other 30% of the shares in Lao Lin's second hand. Now he only occupies 20% of the shares in the store, but he still needs to be a shopkeeper and purchase. He needs to take care of all the chores up and down. He is tired like a dog, but he gets less than one-tenth of the original money. .

He has to feed his family. Because he was spoiled by Lin Baotian before, the family wants the best of everything. He lives in a mansion, eats the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and wears silk satin, which is enough for a month. Ordinary people spend a year wealthy. At that time, he was still the owner of the Yan's restaurant, and all the profits were used by him. Lin Baotian didn't ask at all, and occasionally helped him a little bit, and his life was really good. But now? He took the money from the shopkeeper but had to support his noble family. How would he live this day?

In ten years, his savings have been spent long ago, and he has to rely on pawning property. If Yan's restaurant earns a lot, he will have surplus on hand. If Yan's restaurant's business is bleak, he will live a bleak life along with it, so the bridge garden restaurant has risen, he is more anxious than anyone else. Occasionally thinking of the past, he will regret it, but what is the use of regret? The wolves have been introduced into the house, where are they going to drive out!

Seeing that today is another day of Menkeluoque, Lin Lao Er said with a cold face: "You go to the Qiaoyuan Restaurant to see if they have introduced another new dish to fight with us."

The shop's second child hurriedly went there after a promise, and turned back after a while, with surprise: "Surely there is a new dish called Shenxian Boneless Fish. The whole fish has no bones and is braised with milky white milky soup It is thick, fresh and sweet, and it melts in the mouth. I saw the old lady of Yongding Hou’s family with her grandson. The eldest grandson never eats fish, he thinks it has thorns, but today he ate it awkwardly. I just yelled for another one. The business in the store is about to be booming, the diners inside are reluctant to come out, and the diners outside are waiting in long lines. The old shopkeeper in his house asked the guy to put many benches at the door for the guests to rest. I invited the storyteller to tell the story at the street, eating inside and laughing outside, but it was lively. I managed to squeeze in, and one of my shoes fell off."

Speaking of this, waiter raised his foot to let Lin Lao Er look at his bare left foot and hesitated: "The shopkeeper, will you pay me for a pair of new shoes?"

"Pay your ass, get out!" Lin Lao Er blushed and roared roughly, only feeling that his lungs were going to explode. We make black ginseng, and you also make black ginseng; we make balls, and you make balls; we cook boneless fish, and you cook boneless fish. It is more authentic than us every time. This shows that we want to crush The signature of the restaurant! Yan Langqing is also a waste, but the dignified imperial cook can't even compare to a folk cook. Have you eaten dry food these years?

Lin Lao Er was so anxious that he couldn't wait to take a knife and kill the new cook in Qiaoyuan Restaurant.

At this moment, Yan Shouye carried the birdcage in one hand and the smoke gun in the other. He walked in leisurely and saw that there were no diners in the hall, his face was black. Lin Lao Er was busy telling him about the fight between Qiaoyuan Restaurant and his own restaurant. He sneered and said, "Fight against my Yan family, and live impatiently! Isn’t the fight, okay, there is no signature dish, I think What are they taking to fight me in the ring!" Yu Luo took out a token from his waist, took out ten more silver tickets, and asked Chang Sui to find someone at the gate of the palace.

…………

On the other side, because the fairy boneless fish is highly respected by the diners, Lin Dan made an exception and made ten tables of dishes. Seeing that it was not early, he washed his hands and cleaned the noodles and prepared to go home. At this moment, the old shopkeeper led a white-faced young man walked in with an expression of mourning.

As soon as he saw the young man, the smile on Chef Qiu's face quickly disappeared, and anger appeared in his eyes.

The young man said with a sharp throat, "Congratulations to Chef Qiu, your golden lionfish, stuffed black ginseng with sauce, rich meatballs, and fairy boneless fish have all been favored by the imperial dining room. They are ready to be presented to the emperor and included in the royal recipes. This is a reward, thank you for your kindness." After the words passed, a jade ruyi was passed.

That Yu Ruyi is only the size of a palm, the head is not enough, and the color is not so gorgeous. If it weren't engraved with the word "Ichizai", no one would want it to be thrown on the street. But with these two words alone, Chef Qiu had to kneel and kowtow to thank you, and he couldn't say a word "no" no matter how humiliated he was.

Lin Dan knelt down, but there was a sarcasm from the corner of his mouth. Since Yan Langqing became an imperial cook, he often sought out folk delicacies for the emperor. Whose restaurant cooks delicious dishes and has a good reputation, so she recommends the restaurant’s dishes to the emperor, and then enters the royal recipes.

The cook chosen by her was originally very apprehensive and grateful, but later found out that once the dish was made for the emperor, they could no longer sell it, otherwise it would be a crime of disrespect. Chefs often need months or even years of painstaking research to develop new dishes. But with a fluttering sentence, she deprived others of all their efforts and cut off other people's money, just like bandits.

Lin Dan knew the virtues of the Yan family, so he was not surprised or angry. He stood up and slowly said, "Excuse me, this father-in-law brought a message to Yan Yuchu, so he said that Lin Dan is back and wants to compare her again. But before the dust. She will understand after listening." After the words, a large bank note was handed over.

The young man seemed to be very familiar with Yan Langqing. He didn't want a cash ticket. Instead, he sneered and said, "I heard her personally say about you and Yan Yuchu. Back then, you were not as good as her, and now you two are Yunni. How can we talk about comparing it again?"

"Then tell her that these four dishes are all my work and have nothing to do with Qiaoyuan Restaurant. If you want food, you can come to Nancheng to find me. If you are afraid, just let it go." Lin Dan naturally took back the silver ticket with an expression. , The voice is neither sick nor slow, neither humble nor overbearing.

"You made these four dishes?" The young man also came out of the imperial dining room. His cooking skills and taste are not bad. He has already tasted four dishes in the front hall. Naturally, he knows that Lin Dan's cooking skills have reached it. What degree. Her knives, heat, and seasoning are all top-notch, and she is no worse than the chefs in the Imperial Kitchen. He dared to say "the difference between clouds and mud" just now, but now he couldn't open his mouth.

"Naturally," Lin Dan nodded, "I beg your father-in-law to help Lin with a message."

The young man took a deep look at her and flung his sleeves away. Chef Qiu came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Master, you really have an enmity with Yan Yuchu! You did everything you can to help Qiaoyuan Restaurant develop new dishes, just to get her out?"

Lin Dan took off his hood covered with oily smoke, and chuckled: "Having hatred is real, but it doesn't do everything she can. She makes a move, I take it, that's it. There are thousands of delicious things in the world, only four Dishes, no matter what."

Little Chef Qiu put her in the car and said sincerely: "Master, I think you are better than Yan Yuchu. You are willing to teach others your unique skills, but Yan Yuchu will only rob others of their efforts. Whether it is cooking or being a human being , She is not as good as you."

Lin Dan knocked little chef Qiu’s forehead with his knuckles, and then left with a smile, and arrived at Nancheng, only to see that Sanchakou Hutong was full of people, there was a faint cry of crying from inside, and onlookers whispered. Said: "I never expected that the owner of this restaurant was the one who deceived the master and destroyed the ancestor, and even the master's coffin was greedy!"

"Knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, don't look at the little boss smiling all day long, I don't know how vicious it is! The two of them are both widows at a young age, are they retribution?"

"Yes, the young widow can make this kind of business, but I don't know what means it used. Dirty, really dirty!"

Hearing this, Lin Dan knew without asking that the Yan family must have repeated their old tricks and ran to the door to fight. She quickly squeezed away from the crowd, and saw Qi's hair sitting on the ground in a mess, with scratches on her cheeks and neck. It should have been a hand with someone else and hurt. The earthen jar placed at the door was smashed, the marinade spilled all over the floor, and the lo-mei was robbed by the crowd watching. The tables and chairs in the store also lack arms and legs. Xiaozhu and Peony are cleaning them, all with injuries.

Ten years later, the Yan family is still so arrogant and loves to push people on the road to absolutes. But Lin Dan is no longer the Lin Dan who could not fight back ten years ago. Ignoring the accusations and contemptuous gazes of the people, she helped Qi Shi up and closed the door.

"From today on, our shop will be closed." She said unhurriedly: "Take advantage of this period of time. You can walk around and have fun. If this is the case, we will go to Jiangnan."

"When will you leave the capital?" Qi Shi didn't want to stay in the capital for a quarter of an hour. She was afraid of the Yan family.

"Come on, mother, please pack things first." Lin Dan did not return to the capital to make money to open a store, but came to the end. The store was smashed to cause no loss to her, and her reputation could not cause any harm to her.

"Okay, I'll go and pack my luggage right away. I said at the beginning that I don't want to come back, and I don't want to come back, but you didn't listen. If we leave this time, we will never come back again, okay?" Qi Shihou asked in fear .

"Okay, let's find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters." Lin Dan calmed the Qi family gently. Naturally, she would not tell Qi about the cooking competition, lest she sleep and eat. In the eyes of nobles, royal cooks are just servants to serve people, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are existences that can't be offended.

Everyone sorted out the shop and went to sleep, but unexpectedly, the kitchen caught fire in the middle of the night. If Lin Dan hadn't been alert and woke up soon, I'm afraid everyone would be burnt to death. After extinguishing the flame, Lin Dan found a pile of burnt dry wood and a strong smell of kerosene under the root of the wall, and immediately understood that this was an intentional arson, and the murderer could be known without guessing.
