68. Chapter 68

"The Stone's Will", oh my! ――This name was told by Tao Moyan with her in the past!

"The Last Will of the Stone Whisker" is a cookbook, and it is rumored that the person who wrote this recipe is named Shi Su, who is the imperial chef of the imperial dining room, and his cooking skills are superb, and any dish can make people hate to swallow their tongues. Just as he was becoming famous, he left the palace and went into hiding. It is rumored that he traveled all over the country in order to improve his cooking skills, and finally lived in seclusion in the south of Jianzhou, which was originally a large family, but in the end, because of the spoiled concubine and the destruction of his wife, the family was in chaos, the death of the dead, and the wounded, and finally only one closed disciple was left behind, and the work of his life was written, titled "The Last Will of the Stone Beard", and passed it to the closed disciple - that person was called Liu Shichang.

When Song Yanzhu learned of the four words of Shi Xu's will, Liu Shichang had already regained the reputation of the world's number one chef with that cookbook. She was also fortunate to eat Liu Shichang's dragon beard noodles, and Song Yanzhu will never forget that taste.

Seeing Song Yanzhu's face change slightly, Jin asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Song Yanzhu swallowed his saliva and smiled a little reluctantly: "I just think the dishes in this book are ...... That's great! ”

I heard that Liu Shichang was depressed in his early years, and when his mother passed away, he could only wrap his body in a straw mat, and he barely managed to get to Beijing all the way by doing chores for others...... I didn't expect him to even take out this treasure.

Song Yanzhu thought about it left and right, and felt that Liu Shichang was shrewd: I heard that in this world, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who want to win Shixu's will, and with his current situation, it is indeed not suitable to keep this. This will be entrusted to the Kim family, but I am afraid that it is also thinking that the Jin family is safe here - this is really a death and then a life.

The world's number one chef, oh my God!

The world's No. 1 chef almost died under her horse's hooves, and he was also rescued by the Kim family! Oh, my God!

Song Yanzhu's thoughts in his heart turned a thousand times, and seeing that the Jin family was gradually suspicious, Song Yanzhu returned the book to the Jin family and said: "Qian, since the man surnamed Liu believes in you, and you keep it for her, maybe he will really come to the door one day." I see that his vestibule is full, like a blessed man, and I can't say when he will be rich and rich. ”

"Rich?" Jin glanced at her, saw that she was looking at herself like a cat, and couldn't help but laugh, "I hope so." ”

Song Yanzhu turned his head, but he was very anxious in his heart: that book is a treasure, and that person is even more a treasure! It's a pity that I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find him if I go back to find him!

Song Yanzhu couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and when he returned home, Song Yanzhu asked people to call Mother Hua, and carefully explained Liu Shichang's appearance and characteristics and the place where they met today, and asked her to quickly send a credible person out to find him, "If you find it, don't alarm him, just come back and tell me quickly!" ”

She waited anxiously at home, and when the moon was on the willow tops, Mother Hua came back and told her that the people she had sent out to look for them along the route she had said, but the people were long gone, and there was no trace of them in the vicinity. Song Yanzhu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, pondered for a while, and thought that Liu Shichang was a filial son, and he must have buried his mother well after taking the money, and there must be a place to stay at night, so he asked Hua's mother to send someone to the nearby broken temple and Yizhuang to find it.

After searching for a few days, there was still no news. Song Yanzhu only felt sorry, and hated that he didn't leave him at the first time, and he was suddenly a little aggrieved.

That day, Song Yanzhu wanted to talk to Song Chengqing, and when she walked to the courtyard, the little maid saw her and hurriedly whispered: "It's unfortunate that the second lady came, Madame is talking to the eldest young master in the house." ”

Song Yanzhu nodded, let the little guy guard at the gate of the courtyard, and slightly pushed open a crack in the door to look in, just as the Jin family was sitting at the table, Song Chengqing said helplessly with a calm face: "The water is rampant, and the merchants who come and go are all worried, coupled with the cool officials, almost all the silk, tea and other things transported to the capital are loss-making, and it is not just us, the whole Daqi." What my uncle meant was that it was better not to go to Beijing recently, and if he could find some livelihood in Jianzhou, he would stay in Jianzhou with peace of mind, and when the situation was more stable, he would find an opportunity to transport goods to Beijing. ”

"Looking for some ...... to make a living" Jin took a sip of tea and sighed, "What kind of livelihood can you find now?" The business of several of our shops is not very prosperous, the harvest of the fields this year is not good, this family has so many people waiting to eat, and your father does not know how to operate, all these years are all up to you, I only feel that I owe you a lot. If you weren't allowed to go into business back then, maybe you're already famous......"

"Mother, don't say that, I'm willing......" Song Chengqing's voice lowered, and he said, "I've looked at the accounts carefully in the past few days, and several shops have lost a lot." In particular, the restaurants on East Street are open every day, so if this continues, it is better to rent the shop to others and earn some rent......"

Song Yanzhu stood outside and resisted the urge to push the door into the house, and listened to Jin's words: "If you just want to make such a steady amount of money as rent, I did it a few years ago." With so many people in a family waiting to eat, how can they just rely on this dead money? What's more, all three of you brothers and sisters are still unmarried, so I always have to think about you. Speaking of which, throttling is always a stupid way, and open source is the right way! ”

"It's my son's incompetence......," Song Chengqing said, "I'll think about it these days." At present, business is difficult to do, and there are several restaurants on East Street, and the chef in charge of the cook offers a higher price than the other, and he refuses to change the owner. If it doesn't work, simply close the restaurant and change the business to the side...... However, it is better to be cautious when changing jobs. ”

"Hmm." Jin nodded and said, "I'll write a letter to your uncle later, and see if there's anything else I can do." ”

Song Yanzhu was listening attentively, and someone suddenly appeared behind him, and gently patted her shoulder, Song Yanzhu was startled, turned around and was about to reprimand, when he saw the person in front of him standing with his hands in his hands, looking at her with a smile.

Song Yanzhu was startled and scolded: "Why are you scaring people here early in the morning!" ”

"Second sister, what are you doing here!" Song Heqing looked inside, and it happened that Song Chengqing opened the door, Jin looked at Song Yanzhu, pretending to be helpless, but actually patted the heads of the two of them dotingly and said: "I'm waiting here again to scare you big brother, the bigger the more naughty!" ”

Song Yanzhu pursed his lips and smiled, Jin asked how Song Heqing went to school, and Song Heqing replied: "The teacher praised me for my talent and intelligence, and specially let me take a break for half a day!" ”

"That's good!" Jin smiled and said to him, "Your father wants to test you, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid! You can fight, you can win! Song Heqing was full of confidence, and when Jin saw this, he took him to the direction of Song Shengming with satisfaction.

When the two of them walked away, Song Yanzhu raised his head and asked Song Chengqing: "Brother, where are you going?" ”

Song Chengqing saw her eagerness to try, as if he had seen through her thoughts, and said with a smile: "I want to go to the East Street restaurant to take a look, my sister wants to go?" ”

I can't ask for it! Song Yanzhu jumped up happily and said to Song Chengqing: "Brother wait for me, I'll go change my clothes and go out with you!" ”

******

Dongdajie is the most lively place in Jianzhou, in the past, when the Jin family got married, Mr. Jin gave her the best shop in the most lively place. The shop used to be a rouge shop, but after the Jin family got married, he listened to Song Shengming's construction and turned it into a restaurant. Earlier, this restaurant was still full of customers, but gradually, there were five or six more restaurants on one street, and Kim's restaurant gradually declined.

In recent years, the Kim family has little energy to take care of the restaurant, and those skilled chefs have all been poached by others, and there are few specialty dishes who are willing to stay.

Song Yanzhu got out of the carriage and looked up at the somewhat mottled signboard of "Jinyu Food Restaurant", and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. In the previous life, the Jinyu Food Shop did not escape the fate of being closed in the end, and this signboard was taken down and smashed directly on the ground and shattered into two pieces.

Twenty years of wind and rain, in the end it was ruined. Even this shop was finally sold to someone else.

Looking through the door, I saw two or three runners standing in the store, one was sleeping with his head drooping, one was sweeping the invisible flies around with a fly swatter, and the remaining one was standing at the door conscientiously, smiling and greeting: Guest officer, do you want to eat?

There are people coming and going on East Street, but there are many people inside, and it is not easy to make a restaurant look so cold. Song Yanzhu looked around again, and saw a long queue of people at the door of the Yinmo Tavern not far away, all of them who had eaten from it were full of oil, nodding frequently, and those waiting outside were also looking forward to it, eager to try.

The same two restaurants are really one in heaven and one on earth.

Song Yanzhu was sighing, and the shopkeeper of Jinyu Food Fang ran out in a panic, and said to Song Chengqing with a huff: "Young Dongjia, why are you here?" ”

Song Chengqing Nunu asked: "What's going on, why are there so many people?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said: "A few days ago, the store was just as crowded as us, and I didn't know where to pick up a chef, the dishes were fresh and delicious, and all the guests on the street were invited." This business is really getting harder and harder day by day. ”

Song Chengqing pursed his lips and walked inside, but the shopkeeper hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "The young owner came today to ......"

He asked cautiously, with a clear hint of nervousness. Song Yanzhu crawled a little strange in his heart, walked inside, only to hear a faint noise coming from the backyard, and vaguely heard a "pop", someone shouted "Tianbao", Song Yanzhu's mind moved, and walked in quietly, the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped her and said: "Second Miss, don't, the back kitchen is not something you can go to, it's dirty there!" ”

"I can't go to my land yet?" Song Yanzhu glared at him, the shopkeeper wanted to stop him, Song Yanzhu called "brother", Song Chengqing stepped forward, slipped up with one hand and threw it aside, the two opened the curtain of the back kitchen, and the expressions of both of them couldn't help but cool: I saw more than a dozen people squatting in the backyard, there were guys in the back kitchen, there were people who ran the hall, and there were five or six people I didn't know, even the chef with the kitchen spoon, a bunch of people were all nested in a piece of fighting pai gow, and there was a pile of copper plates on the gambling table, and the fight was hot!

When he saw someone coming in, the cook didn't raise his head and scolded: "Didn't I sue you, don't lift the curtain for me when you play pai gow!" If you leak money, you will lose my money! ”

"Not really." A guy was about to echo, but when he looked up and saw Song Chengqing with a blue face, he instantly lost his voice, and pulled the cook Nunu's mouth, the cook didn't know yet, so he pouted and said, "What's the matter?" I made money and wanted to leave! ”

Seeing that the guy's face was wrong, he was busy silencing, and secretly said that it was not good, and when he looked at the person, his legs were weak, and he shouted "Shaodongjia".

Song Chengqing was so angry that he pointed behind him and said to them, "You all get out of here!" ”

A room full of running halls and cooks were simply driven away by the two brothers and sisters of the Song family, and when the cook left, he scolded and said: "As long as you give such a little salary, it is good to be able to find me in charge." You can think about it, get rid of me, that's your loss, and if you ask me to come back, I won't come! Bah! ”

In the end, he fell to the person who greeted the guest at the door, and listened to him say to himself, his name was Yuanbao, and he stood in front of Song Chengqing tremblingly, and said with a bitter face: "Shaodong, are we going to close the door?" ”

Song Chengqing and Song Yanzhu looked at each other, and were about to say something, when suddenly there was a noisy sound on the street, and occasionally a sharp scream was heard-"Kill!" ”
