Chapter 30
Although Lin Dan walked in a hurry, everything that should be handled was handled properly. Not only did he give the storefront to Erniang Qin, he also sent a letter to Chef Qiu explaining the whole story. After reading the letter, Chef Qiu was so angry that his fingertips were shaking. He had no idea that the Yan family could be so dirty that even the orphans and widows were bullied and the shop was set on fire. There was no king's law!
Seeing his ugly face, the old shopkeeper asked him what happened. He shook his head and didn't want to elaborate. After all, this was Lin Dan's personal business and should not be promoted. As if thinking of something, he curled his eyebrows and said: "Are there any guests in the front hall? You go out and have a look."
After a while, the old shopkeeper came back and told him: "Five or six tables of guests have come, all waiting for shopkeeper Lin." Today, the bridge garden restaurant has an unwritten rule. Whoever comes first will insert one on his desk. Serial number plate, and then wait quietly. Diners with the first five serial numbers are sure to be able to eat the craftsmanship of the mysterious chef, and those with the last five serial numbers can eat it occasionally with good luck. Even so, those diners who failed to get the top ten number are still reluctant to leave, just order some dishes and sit in the store, smell the dishes at other tables, and look at the dishes at other tables. Can you also feast your eyes?
Because of this, a large group of people will come to the store early, all rushing to grab a seat, and stick their buttocks to the stool when they grab it, and no one will leave.
Chef Qiu lowered the volume and asked, "Is Prince Cheng his old man coming?"
"Here, I was sitting in the shop early in the morning. I asked a few singers to serve in front." In fact, it is a rare thing that Prince Cheng will not come. Since eating Lin Dan’s food, he came to Qiaoyuan Restaurant on time every day to report. Later, he found that Qiaoyuan Restaurant was getting more and more popular. I was afraid that I would not be able to eat Lin Dan’s craftsmanship. In the inn opposite the restaurant. As soon as the door was opened here, the young man over there rushed in, first took the serial number plate, and then firmly occupied the position, waiting for his prince to come to eat.
These gluttons in the capital are full of personalities, and it is not easy to please them, but if their craft can catch their appetite, they will protect you like a treasure. don’t want to talk about it, only Yongdinghou. heard that he used to have a favorite cook, and he took it with him wherever he went. Then the cook died. He had no appetite for several months and he was hungry and thin. , Now he is no longer sad in the capital, and went to the border to fight.
Chef Qiu used to think this rumor was a bit exaggerated, but now that he learned that the cook was Lin Dan's father, he suddenly understood Yong Dinghou. Lin Dan's culinary skills are so extraordinary, as a master, how superb is Lin Baotian's culinary skills?
But the person is already dead, no matter how much his fascination is, it will be in vain to seek justice for Lin Dan at this moment. Thinking of this, Chef Qiu whispered: "Go and tell the diners that the chef has already left. You won't be cooking at Qiaoyuan Restaurant in the future, so let them all go away."
The old shopkeeper was frightened suddenly. Without Lin Dan, how can the business of this bridge garden restaurant continue?
Little Chef Qiu pushed the old shopkeeper and sighed: "Go, go, tell everyone to stop them waiting."
The old shopkeeper went away in a muddle-headed manner, and everyone complained before he finished his words. The most violent reaction was naturally Prince Cheng. Not only did his hands tremble, but even his beard shook. An old face was wrinkled, as if he had eaten arsenic. Ignoring the obstruction of the old shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, he strode into the back kitchen that he would never set foot in before, catching Chef Qiu and asking: "That chef is really not coming? Where does her family live? Tell this king, Ben The king personally invite her!"
In the past, he hadn't touched the idea of inviting Lin Dan to go back as a private kitchen, and even asked the butler to lobby, but he didn't even see Lin Dan. He has special respect for people who cook well, and he doesn't want to. I will eat wherever you cook, right? But it turns out that this is also impossible. People just leave without saying hello! If I knew this, I should have taken people away directly!
Prince Cheng felt regretful in his heart, and grabbed Chef Qiu and insisted on asking the chef's whereabouts. Little Chef Qiu just pretended to be unwilling and explained the entanglement between Lin Dan and Yan's family.
Unexpectedly, Prince Cheng's eyes widened, his mouth wide open, his expression was like a mourning concubine, and even his voice was overwhelmed with trills: "You mean, the chef who cooks here is Lin from the restaurant in Nancheng. Shopkeeper? They, are they the same person?"
Chef Qiu felt that Prince Cheng's reaction was a little weird, but he nodded.
"Since they are the same person, if your cook is gone, the hometown restaurant can't be opened?" Prince Cheng gradually showed an expression of pain. It’s also a coincidence that Prince Cheng’s noble honours usually don’t go to Nancheng to hang out, but his servants often go to the pier in Nancheng to pick up goods. When they are greedy, they will always bring some Lin Dan's lo-mei home. Once I met with Prince Cheng at the door, the overbearing aroma captured Prince Cheng on the spot. After tasting the taste, he was even more crazy. Every night he asked the servants to buy some back for supper. He can't sleep until he eats midnight snack, like an addiction.
Hearing that the chef from Qiaoyuan Restaurant is not coming, he originally thought that somehow Nancheng's lo-mei could be eaten, and the shopkeeper Lin's craftsmanship is also very good, not inferior to this chef. But the result? The two of them turned out to be the same person. In other words, the only two cooks who can satisfy Prince Cheng's tricky appetite have already left, and will never be able to eat them again!
As an old glutton who would rather starve to death without good food, you can imagine the thunder and thunder in Prince Cheng's heart.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Yan Yuchu is so majestic. The king heard about the dishes offered to the emperor for the first time, and others couldn't eat it. Isn't the king disrespectful every day? What about the Nine Clan? Bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestor? Shit! In those disputes back then, the king saw from the beginning to the end. The Yan family reversed right and wrong, twisted and straightened, and there was no good thing!" The words went away fiercely.
The immortal Boneless Yucheng Prince hasn’t been tired of eating yet. He waited expectantly all morning but waited for such bad news. He was naturally very irritable. Then I thought: I won’t be able to eat Lin’s food anymore. Isn't it sad? So he became even more angry, and said, "Go, let the king go to the Yan's restaurant to have a look."
The accompanying guard originally thought he was going to the Yan's restaurant to eat, but saw him walk to the door a few steps, and did not even look at the second child who was sitting on the steps. He pointed to the plaque on Liang and said, "Take this sign. Smash it to this king!"
Several guards were taken aback for a moment and then came back to their senses, holding the bamboo poles to stab the sign down, and crush it with their feet. Lin's second heart was inexplicable, but he dared not step forward to stop him, so he could only cry pitifully: "My lord, what are you doing to smash my sign? We haven't provoke you! The little one kowtows to you to apologize, please. The old man raise your hands high!"
There was a prince of Weiyuan in the past, and the prince of Dianqian County in the middle. Now there is another Prince Cheng. The titles are higher than the other, and the first one is bigger. Who is the Yan family restaurant? Lin Lao Er was puzzled for a while, panicked for a while, and his whole heart seemed to be fried in a pan.
"Hmph, if Shopkeeper Lin doesn't return to the capital for a day, I won't let you hang up signs for a day. If you don't agree, you can try it!" Prince Cheng pointed to the seven-to-eight plaques on the ground in a very vicious tone. He is the first emperor’s brother who helped the other party win the throne. He is also the current uncle who helped him ascend to the throne. He is in charge of the Lifan Academy and the Clan Department. He wants power and power, and he wants prestige and prestige. Did Xiao Yuchu dare to mess with it? He personally helped Lin Dan, and even if the emperor came, he didn't dare to say that Yan's restaurant would put the sign back. This loss, the Yan family restaurant is set.
The people in Xicheng are the most powerful. Seeing several big figures stepping on Yan's restaurant one after another, and also causing scandals of fake wine and poisonous soup, they have completely denied the reputation of Yan's restaurant. They stood on the side of the street and watched the excitement for a while, and then dispersed one after another. As they walked, they whispered: "I don't know what Yan Shouye has done, and asked a few nobles to take care of it himself. This store will not be able to do so. Come, come, you will offend these three, it's not cost-effective, not cost-effective!"
Hearing such words a lot, Lin's heart became more desperate. He didn't expect that these people were actually coming out for Lin Dan. She only went back to Beijing for two or three months, so how could she be like this?
On the other side, Yan Shouye was dragged into the Yamen by the steward of the Dianqian County King to fight a lawsuit. Although only a dog died, this dog died for the little princess, and the little princess will enter the palace as a maiden in two months. The imperial decree is already down, and the government naturally dare not neglect, and hold on to the stern defense. Karma is a good meal.
Never mind that Yan Shouye is usually very prestigious, but in front of the princes of Dianqian County, he is not even a fart. He was beaten to cry for his father and mother, crying for mercy, and almost died. In the end, he lost the princess king one hundred thousand taels of silver, and was dragged to the gate of the mansion to kowtow to the princess princess to admit his mistake.
When he returned home half-deadly, he learned that the signboard of Yan's restaurant had been smashed by Prince Cheng, and then put down his words-if Lin Dan did not return for a day, they would not be able to open business for a day, and Yan Shouye finally couldn't hold it back and vomited fiercely. A mouthful of blood.
Zhou even went to his hometown restaurant to make trouble yesterday. Today, he is like a frosted eggplant, and he asks anxiously: "What can I do? After so many things, can our restaurant go on?" The wealth and glory days have passed, and she is more afraid of being beaten back to her original form than anyone else.
"It can be opened, why can't it be opened? Lang Qing is still working as an imperial cook in the palace, so let her beg the emperor. The emperor is a little bit interesting to her, as long as she speaks, not to mention being an imperial cook or an empress." Yan Shouye He gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, go and pass a message to Lang Qing, saying that the family is in trouble, let her come back."
The servant didn't dare to delay, and immediately took the bank note to deliver the letter at the gate of the palace. It's a pity that the Yan family still underestimated Lin Dan's connections. She has nothing to do with the world, but it does not mean that those who care about her will not fight for her.
