Chapter 36: Chef 35

It was because of the development of the "Wanfu Meat" that Yan Langqing stood out at the Wanshou feast. She was called into the palace by the emperor to be the imperial chef, but it turned out that this so-called famous dish was actually stolen by others. Whimsical. Although Lin Dan has no evidence, she can completely restore the color and fragrance of Wanfu meat with a few pieces of tofu, and she is better than Yan Langqing's, which is enough to prove the truth of her words.
Not to mention that her father's two apprentices are chefs at Yan's Restaurant, holding a lot of money every month. As long as they are brought torture one or two, it is not difficult to get the truth.
But the emperor didn't care. He is the Lord of the world, and who he wants to protect, others can't easily touch him, so he asks no one to ask Yan Langqing's crime of bullying, and the trial ends in a hurry. Fortunately, Lin Dan didn't care about these. He wrapped the gold knife and recipes in red silk, and came out of the fragrance garden.
Tang Jiu whispered behind her: "No wonder you let me not have to take too much care, have you already figured out the countermeasures?"
After waiting for Lin Dan to answer, Weiyuan Hou has stepped over and laughed: "Treasurer Lin, I am 39 years old this time, I have a wife, I have died, and there are no children, no daughters and no aunts in my family. Power, if you do n’t dislike it, how about a 100-year covenant with me?

Lin Dan looked at him stupidly, speechless for a long time.
Tang Jiu's brow frowned fiercely, and he shouted, "Master Hou, you must not make such jokes in a joke, beware of the reputation of the shopkeeper Lin!"
"When was Ben Hou joking? Ben Hou is serious. If I could marry a woman such as Lin Tsang, who is such a brilliant and virtuous man, I do n’t know how many blessings Hou has cultivated. Tang Shizi, you are so worried , Shouldn't he also have indiscriminate thoughts on the treasurer of Lin? "
"What are you talking about!" Tang Jiu hurriedly turned to see Lin Dan, but saw that the other party had been pulled aside by Prince Cheng and Prince Gong to speak, and then boarded the carriage and walked away reluctantly. To an ordinary person, marrying into the high gate seemed to be a way of seeking or not, but to her it seemed like a trouble.
In addition to studying cooking, she seems to have little interest in everything in the world. This kind of contradictory attitude of lack of desire but extra seriousness deeply attracts the people around her. Tang Jiu stared at the wagon away, looking very frustrated. Wei Yuanhou turned his finger on his hand, and all his eyes were inevitable.
At the same time, Yan Langqing knelt down beside the emperor in horror, and the other party slowly opened a grey water maggot and ate it with interest, her expression very enjoyed.
"I didn't expect that the dumplings who had soaked in grey water would be so delicious. After I went back, I asked the person in the royal dining room to think about it and make it as it is." Yan Langqing was beside him, but he never asked her to restore grey water It can be seen that the contest just before, and the subsequent disputes, have greatly reduced his perception of Yan Langqing.
Yan Langqing was pale now.
As the carriage passed Qingyun Lane, the emperor Xu Xu said: "Stop and send a few people to seal the Yan family restaurant."
Yan Langqing suddenly looked up, staring in shock.
The emperor gave her a glance and smiled casually: "Why, you preach the imperial edict and bully the bully, don't you think that you just let it go easily?" Between the talk, there was a strict obedience in the carriage from behind Shouting, he asked the guard why he wanted to close his shop. The guard pointed to the carriage in front, saying that it was the emperor's meaning, and his tongue seemed to be carried away by the cat, and he became dumb instantly.
The emperor snorted, scaring Yan Langqing and trembling. She thought she had completely lost her sacred heart, but did not expect the emperor to take hold of her hand and said slowly: "You have been in the palace for seven or eight years You can make mountain and sea food as you like. Famous chefs from all over the country send you. What skills you want to learn, let them learn from each other. It stands to reason that your accomplishments will definitely not be worse than those from a forest of rural origin. But you can see Look, you still lost to her today. Even your signature dishes are stolen or copied from others. There is nothing of your own. You can see that you are short of talent in cooking. "
Yan Langqing was unable to lift her head by the emperor, her pale face became red, and her heart was full of embarrassment and shame.
The emperor spoke sharply and said, "Since you don't have the talent to be a cook, you can go into the palace and be a puppet woman. Puppet won't treat you badly."
Yan Langqing suddenly looked up, looked at the emperor utterly, and finally nodded. She has nothing left now. She is still making enemies everywhere in the chef world. Even her storefront has been sealed by the royal family. Where can I go after I leave the palace? However, when she is a mother, everything is different. She used to serve others, but she will serve her in the future. Why not?
The emperor touched her delicate face, and seemed to be very gentle, but the words were filled with coldness. "Since you have entered the palace, you will let your family settle in. If you cause trouble for you, you will not be sympathetic. . "
Yan Langqing shivered fiercely, and nodded in a sincerity. Langzhong didn't find out that the emperor who had responded to her in the past and took good care of her had completely changed her attitude. He thought that Yan Langqing was a simple and kind girl, the last pure land in the dirty palace, but she turned out to be no different from others. She also counts, plunders, bullies, and her family's ignorance and arrogance makes him even more sick of him.
The emperor never believed in the phrase "sludge without staining". People trapped in the quagmire will only become more dirty, because they need to survive, so they will do whatever they can, just like himself. For a moment, he completely gave up his longing and goodwill for Yan Langqing, only regarded her as an ordinary object of hunting, hitting a stick to a sweet date, tame her by means of taming animals, and wait to eat In her mouth, she felt fresh, and she would not be any different from those concubines who had fallen out of favor.
However, Yan Langqing did not guess the emperor's mind, thinking that he was always the most special one in the other's heart, so he bravely said: "Sir, can you let me stay at home for a while? My father's injuries are not healed , I want to wait for him to go back to the palace. "
The emperor gave her a deep look and nodded unavoidably after a long while.
…………
On the other side, Lin Dan has returned to the Sanchakou Hutong. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw several young men greeted with overjoyment: "Lin shopkeeper, you are finally back! When are you going to open the shop?"
"I won't open a store, and I will leave the capital in a few days." Lin slightly waved his hand.
Several men's expressions looked like a mournful test, and they wanted to persuade, but they saw a leading a group of guards, and said loudly: "Are you chef Lin Danlin? You won the game today, the emperor Give you a plaque. Keep it. "
Only then did Lin Dan find that the two guards standing behind him carried a square plaque wrapped with silk and opened the silk. On it, six large characters of dragons and phoenixes were written with gold paint-the successor of the golden knife and the emperor. Private seal.
It's a pity that these words now, Lin Dan is no longer rare, but she still took the plaque, sent the eunuchs and guards with red envelopes, closed the shop door and silently packed up. The men standing outside the door were completely dumbfounded and said for a moment: "My obedient, the treasurer Lin is the heir of the Golden Knife Royal Chef. It's amazing! We eat Royal Dinner every day!"
"Do n’t dream of it! Did n’t you hear, Lin Treasurer isn't planning to open a shop here! He is the successor of the Golden Knife Royal Chef, and he wants to open the shop to Xicheng. Who is impatient to cook two copper plates for us to sell a bowl of noodles?" The other men were full of remorse. If they had known that Lin Tsang was a successor to the imperial kitchen, they would not have so cherished her cooking skills. Now that I want to come, Lin's shopkeeper has excellent craftsmanship and character. She can open a store in Nancheng. Isn't it a blessing for Nancheng people? It's a pity they don't know how to be blessed.
Lin Dan packed his luggage and went straight out of the capital. Before reaching his door, he saw Qi standing at the intersection and looking over his neck, his face full of worry. She never thought that her daughter would win, and only hoped that she would return safely. So, when Lin Dan pulled open the silk cloth and showed her the recipe and gold knife, she opened her eyes and covered her mouth, and she couldn't get back for a long time.
"This, what is this?" She asked incredulously.
Lin Dan handed the two things over and chuckled, "Mother, I won my father's things back, and you put them away."
"Win, win? Did you really win?" Qi touched the gold knife and the recipe, and gradually laughed and opened his arms. In recent years, her daughter has travelled south and north, and has been adrift. She has suffered too much, suffered too much, and suffered too much. She feels bad!
Lin Dan hugged Qi and patted him gently, his voice was very calm, "Mother, here is the thing, let's go elsewhere. The world is vast, and there are many foods waiting for us."
Qi's sobbed and nodded, his eyes filled with joy.
…………
It is not easy to go out this year. You have to prepare a lot of supplies, plan your route, and get directions, not that you can walk. Lin Dan spent more than a month in the outskirts of Beijing. Seeing everything was ready to go, there was a bad news from the capital-Yongding Houfu was seized for collaborating with outsiders, and Tang Guifei was also forced into the Leng Palace to stand up. Woe.
Seeing that the situation has changed greatly, he may be implicated if he does not leave again. Instead, Lin Dan stays, only sends Qi's away, and then sends Xiaoyu to the city to inquire about the news. The situation developed very quickly, but after three days of hard work, the charges had been settled. The female relatives of Yongding Houfu were exiled for three thousand miles, and the men were all beheaded.
A few days later, the worse news came that the 68 female relatives of Yongding Houfu House were unbearably stigmatized, all hanging on the beam, including Tang Guifei in the cold palace. The emperor was so annoyed that before the fall, he would have to ask the number of people who were cutting Tang Jiu, as if very urgent. On the day of the beheading, Lin Dan, carrying a huge food container, hurried to the court to see off Tang Jiu.
