Chapter 32: Chef 31

Lin Dan came back after only two nights in the suburbs of Beijing. The store has been sold to Qin Erniang, and she has to move her things out to make room for others.
"Can you not sell this store? Can you continue to open the restaurant in your hometown?" Qin Erniang thought that she might be the stupid stupid fork in the world. She bought the shop and thought of returning. She couldn't eat any more dishes made by Lin Tsang-she, and she felt like she couldn't live like this.
"It won't open, things in the capital are coming soon, and I should go elsewhere." Lin Dan has become accustomed to wandering around and won't stay in one place for long.
During the conversation, there were banging knocks from outside, and some people shouted, "Is the shopkeeper coming back? When do you open the door to do business? Lin shopkeeper, Lin shopkeeper ..." After shouting for a long time but could not get In response, the people outside left with a sigh.
This kind of situation happened in the days when Lin Dan left. Almost every once a while, diners came knocking on the door and asking. The hometown restaurant is closed, and Nancheng people want to eat authentic hometown dishes, and they can only dream. These days, most of the men who can leave their hometown and go to Beijing to make money are strong men. They do not cook at all, and even if they do, they ca n’t make the taste of Lin Dan, so they can only do it.
Have a good life, who wants to live a hard life? There are delicious and cheap things, who wants to eat wowotou? Lin shopkeeper is not here, this day is hard!
If Lin Dan was unaware of the noise outside the door, and just packed up, Qin Erniang took a sip and sneered: "Just don't open the door, rush them! I usually eat so many good things in the store and wait for people to make trouble But no one was there to help, a group of ungrateful beasts! "
Lin Dan smiled and didn't speak. The beast can't talk about it, it's just that the world is cold. But she still had to thank Qin Erniang. If she hadn't taken Zhou's girl away with the girl in the building that day, Zhou might have been in trouble for a long time. If others are willing to help you, that is love; if they are not willing to help you, that is also their duty.
That's why she exchanged the storefront with Qin Erniang at a low price of twelve silver, and gave her a recipe for winemaking and a few recipes for appetizing dishes. The brothel is not a place to eat, but drinks and appetizers are indispensable. These are enough to be humane.
The two talked as they packed up, but heard a scream of screams from outside the door, and there were rumors of begging for mercy and gimmicks.
"Who's fighting at the door? I'll go and see, you're hiding inside." Qin Erniang threw down the broom and went out.
How could Lin Dan make her dangerous? She pulled her behind him and went out with a kitchen knife. She clasped the door and looked out, but she saw Tang Jiu standing firmly in front of the steps, and several guards were stepping on a few jumbles and breaking their hand bones with the back of the knife.
The screams and begging sounds were from these little rumblings, and beside him was a young man tied with flowers and flowers, which was Tang Peng. He tied a few wattles on his back and exclaimed angrily: "Jiuge, for the sake of an outsider, you face me like this, I will fix a book to tell the uncle when I go back!"
"You use power for personal gain and oppression of the people, do you still have reason?" Tang Jiu said indifferently.
"Doesn't what you are doing right now be used for personal gain?" Tang Peng was still struggling, but Zhao Liu was holding his shoulders tightly and squatting on the ground.
When Tang Jiuli ignored him, he heard the sound and looked back, his eyes lit up immediately: "Lin Dan, you are back."
"What are you?" Lin Dan wanted to point out that Tang Peng and a few foolish men raised his hand, only to find that he was holding a kitchen knife, and then put it down again.
Tang Jiu arched his hands in shame: "I got Tang Peng's message from the government, so I didn't care about the case of arson, and now I brought him to plead guilty. These rogues are the murderers of arson." He had clearly obtained it. News, I know that Lin Dan is in the shop, so I'm not afraid to come here for nothing.
Lin Dan showed a look of sudden realization, glanced at Tang Peng, who was still screaming and yelling, and thanked him, "Thank you Shizi for taking the initiative for me, and I accept this apology." The words will be closed.
Tang Jiu quickly blocked his hand in the crack of the door, his voice imploring, "So can you stay?" He failed to retain Lin Dan ten years ago. Ten years later, he hoped that the outcome would change. No one knows how many times Lin Dan's stubborn back appeared in his dream. She always walked further and further away, and then gradually disappeared into the dense fog, waking him up with regret and guilt.
Had it not been for his partial listening and partial faith, forcing Lin Dan to compete with Yan Langqing, Uncle Lin would not have suffered such grievances after his death. He almost grew up eating vegetables made by Uncle Lin, and he should understand what kind of person Uncle Lin is. But he was as if he had been cast down. Yan Langqing said what he believed, but in the end he caused Lin Shu to lose his reputation. Lin Dan and Qi's left the country for many years.
He had never done anything bad in this life, but he was sorry for the dead Lin Shu, Lin Dan, and Qi. Seeing that Lin Dan finally returned to the long-awaited capital and re-supported Lin's gate, he was happier than anyone. He knew how talented Lin Dan was. As long as she was given enough time, she could definitely surpass Lin Shu's achievements.
However, some people did not want to make her feel better, and the next method was used one by one, which forced her to go away again. At present, Tang Jiu's disgust with Yan's family has penetrated into the bone marrow, otherwise he would not have used any means to defeat Yan Langqing's position as the royal chef.
He intensified his voice, repeating, "Can you stay this time? I promise no one will dare to insult you in the future."
Lin Dan smiled slightly, but still shook his head firmly.
The expectations in Tang Jiu's eyes extinguished instantly, and he wanted to say something more. A man walked through the crowd and approached, tremblingly authentic: "I'm Yan's sister-in-law, I'll send a letter to my lady."
"Give me." Lin Dan reached out to answer the letter, and then slowly exhaled a spit. The person she was waiting for finally arrived ...
Tang Jiu glanced at the stationery, but saw that it was written in lowercase with a line of characters-June 6, the Fragrant Garden Party. Xiangyuan is Huangzhuang. Ordinary people can't say anything about it. They can't even approach it. That was one of the emperor's favorite gardens. He was guarded by guards all the year round. How could it be used with his status as Yan Langqing? Could there be the emperor's approval in it?
With this in mind, Tang Jiu suddenly remembered the message sent by his sister to himself, saying that the emperor had treated Yan Langqing quite well in recent years, and seemed to be included in the harem. He asked him to think of a way. Because of this, there was a rumor that the concubine intended to marry Yan Langqing and let her marry into Hou's house.
If the emperor really supported Yan Langqing behind his back, I am afraid that this test will not be so fair. So he whispered: "The fragrant garden is a royal garden. No one can use it without a decree. The last person to banquet in the fragrant garden was His Royal Highness Princess."
Lin Dan frowned slightly, and then frowned a moment later: "I see, Xie Shizi mentioned." The tone was not slow and relaxed, very relaxed.
Tang Jiu couldn't see what she was thinking, and continued: "I can find a way to cancel this contest." Why not participate in the unfair contest, let Yan Langqing lose her favor, and then no later than that. There is little fairness in this world, but he wants to give Lin Dan a fairness, a fairness that is ten years late.
"No, I have my own way to deal with it." Lin Dan shook his head with a smile. She waited for ten years and was impatient to wait any longer.
"Think again. Yan Langqing is guarded by the emperor, and the referee invited will certainly not dare to let her lose." Tang Jiu could not persuade her, but could only pick out.
Lin Dan waved his hand, still saying the following: "I have my own way, Shizi need not worry."
Tang Jiu gritted his teeth and looked at her, both helpless and moved. Lin Dan is still so stingy, but it is because of this sting, that she has achieved her now.
"Well, let me find a way for you!" Then he took Tang Peng and strode away.
Qin Erniang looked up at the stationery with a tiptoe, and sighed, "Xiangyuan, that's where the emperor's favorite place goes. Most people don't let in. Forest shopkeeper, don't give up with Tang Shizi. Occasionally compromise and give in. On your behalf, you lose. What is your level, we all know it, why bother touching eggs with eggs? "
Lin Dan shook his head, his eyes firm.
…………
Coming soon on June 6, Lin Dan came by invitation. After passing through numerous checkpoints and inspections, he was allowed to enter the fragrance garden. There are five steps and one pavilion in the park, and the pavilions come and go. The guards and the faceless palace men are a royal weather.
If you change into a common person and you are scared to death, how dare you try? No doubt, before the two met, Yan Langqing gave Lin Dan a dismissal. Lin Dan didn't know who she was, but she could guess that her situation was very wonderful, even magnificent. Because she didn't feel any panic when she saw this kind of scene, she felt like a stagnant water with no ripple at all.
She walked into the inner courtyard freely and entered the main hall. When she saw a handsome man sitting in the main seat, she immediately knelt down and scratched her head. The man's foot on bright yellow soap boots must be the emperor.
"Come up, I heard that you are going to try cooking skills with Lang Qing, and then I will go out to testify for her." The emperor smiled with a big smile. If you want any ingredients, let them go. The palace people will prepare them for you. "
Yan Langqing bowed her head and looked shy. The emperor looked at her and smiled more and more tenderly. He is fair on the surface, but in a few words, he clearly points out his close relationship with Yan Langqing. Who dares to disobey his mind?
Several people who came to be referees looked at each other, each with their own thoughts. These people are not only the old chef who has been raised in the palace, but also the old master who is well-known far away, and the chefs of some large restaurants, who are quite proficient in cooking.
Lin Dan swept away slightly, his heart can not help but be shocked. Nine out of ten of these people participated in the competition that was once, as if time went back and reappeared in the past. Another old acquaintance, including Tang Shizi, Prince Cheng, Prince Gong, Weiyuanhou, and King of Yunnan and Guizhou, sat watching. Yan Shouye, who was hit by a board and should be lying in bed to cultivate, also came and looked at her with revenge and pride.
Lin Dan bowed his knees and asked, "Emperor, can you guarantee the fairness of this contest?" The emperor proclaimed Mingjun, opened his mouth and recruited talents at the beginning of the throne, and he also dared to stand up and die in court The officials are exceptionally good-looking. Lin Dan straightened his words, he nodded and didn't want to nod.
