Chapter Ninety-Eight: You Don't Want to Stand Out About This, I Have My Own Way
When Luo Qinghe was looking at Yin Ling without any waves, he had already dragged his broom over and asked in a low voice, "Miss Luo, do you need me to coax these troublemakers away?" ”
Since the last time, when Fang Shaoze heard that Yin Ling and the two were provoking in front of Luo Qinghe's stall, he was full of anger and instructed Mo Mo, saying that if anyone went to Luo Qinghe's trouble in the future, he must protect Luo Qing and Zhou Quan at all costs.
Even if Langmo felt that Luo Qinghe's strong appearance did not need protection, after all, he had listened to Fang Shaoze's words since he was a child, and as soon as Fang Shaoze's words came out, Rongmo did it honestly.
When Luo Qinghe heard this, he chuckled and shook his head: "Don't worry, you don't have to come out of this matter, I have my own way!" ”
Therefore, when Yin Ling sent an invitation to Luo Qinghe with the prepared cake, Luo Qinghe stepped forward generously, first pretending to be puzzled and stuffing two pieces into his mouth, and after swallowing it with a wolf, he ate a whole plate of cakes by himself.
Yin Ling originally thought that Luo Qinghe would arrogantly reject herself because of her self-esteem, but now seeing her so unceremonious, Yin Ling was stunned for a long time.
I just wanted to stop it, but before Yin Ling could speak, I saw that Luo Qinghe had already stuffed the last piece into his mouth, nodded and swallowed it with a look of enjoyment, and then exclaimed: "Yes, yes, your skills in making this meat roll are much better than mine!" ”
Yin Ling didn't expect Luo Qinghe to recognize herself so neatly, but she was stunned for a long time before she reacted to what was happening in front of her, so she straightened her back in an instant, and returned to the smug attitude of the winner.
"Humph!" Seeing that his young lady had won, Bi Jin on the side suddenly became stunned, and he glanced at Luo Qinghe with contempt, and said bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone knows that you have no chance of winning today's competition!" Now that you've thrown in the towel, tell me where you stole your craft! ”
Bi Jin sincerely felt that there would never be a girl of the same age in the world who could surpass her own young lady in craftsmanship, and it was naturally impossible for a poor person in the countryside like Luo Qinghe to develop this unique pie crust. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you can really have the same quality Lanxin as your own lady in the whole world, she must be an old chef who has been in the industry for many years and has seen Aurora with extremely rich experience.
But as soon as he heard this, Luo Qinghe glanced up and down like a fool, and said confidently: "Are you deaf or still can't understand people?" I just said that this young lady's skills in making this cake are better than mine, but this does not mean that I can't make the pie crust, and it does not mean that only your young lady in the whole world can figure out the method of this pie crust! ”
"You yourself have admitted defeat, how can you still be so strong?"
As soon as Luo Qinghe's words came out, not only Bi Zhen, but even the cooks in goose yellow clothes behind her and the onlookers around her all had a lot of complaints about Luo Qinghe's words.
Yin Ling heard the whispers around him, and he unconsciously felt a little arrogant, looked at Luo Qinghe with some disdain: "It's clear that you admit that your craftsmanship is not as good as mine, why struggle at this time?" Could it be that you finished the bread I made in one go, because you were afraid that people would find out how clumsy your own craftsmanship was? I think you're a wise girl, so why would you do such a stupid thing? What's the use of you eating one serving, as long as everyone wants to eat later, I can make another one for each of them! ”
"Really?" When Luo Qinghe heard this, he pointed to the unfinished meat and egg rolls in the hands of the diners on the side, and said with a smile: "Then can you buy the cake you made?" ”
Yin Ling choked when he heard this, but Bi Jin said without showing weakness: "You don't care how much we are worth, anyway, you can't compare to our young lady's craftsmanship!" ”
Luo Qinghe shook his head and chuckled, "Why are you so angry? I just want to say that even if my meat egg roll doesn't taste as good as your lady's, my meat egg roll only needs half a cup of tea to make diners eat it, and everyone can afford to buy it for 30 yuan each, and I can earn money to support myself! But how much battle did you use to make this cake? How much silver was spent? How much do you have to sell for this piece of cake to recoup the cost? If you set up a stall to do business like me, do you have the confidence to let the people of Guangling spend a few taels of silver to buy a cake to eat? If everyone can't eat it, what's the point of your craftsmanship no matter how good it is? ”
Cai Yinling's provocation against Luo Qinghe was like a declaration of war against a dagger with a rocket launcher, these two people are not of the same magnitude at all, how can they compare?
Luo Qinghe said, looked at Yin Ling's eyes fixedly, took a few steps forward and said: "Although I have frankly recognized your craftsmanship, can I dare to ask Miss Yin, if you and I set up a stall on this Juying Street at the same time, can you make each of your cakes sell for thirty yuan, and can you still entertain so many guests at the same time as me?" ”
was asked by her like this, but Yin Ling, who was still very confident, suddenly felt a little weak, biting her lip for a long time and not knowing how to refute.
Hearing Luo Qinghe's words, the people who were just about to face Yin Ling also turned around and joined Luo Qinghe's camp.
What Miss Luo said makes sense! Her thirty dollars a meat egg roll can be regarded as a conscience price on this Juying Street! And this little shopkeeper Luo is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground all day long, just to provide such a cheap delicacy to the people, so that every person can fill their stomachs! And although this Miss Yin has good skills, this dish has the arrogance of some big families, and it seems very incompatible with those ordinary people.
But some of the young cooks behind Yin Ling were unconvinced: "But when cooking, shouldn't it be as delicate as possible!" ”
After hearing this, Luo Qinghe nodded at him very happily, and said: "What you said is certainly right, but in my opinion, the so-called delicacy is not to use the most expensive and rarest ingredients and the biggest battle, but to treat each ingredient equally, and use your own sincerity and skill to cook the most suitable dishes for ordinary ingredients, and bring out the purest and true taste of this ingredient!" The ingredients you used just now are all delicacies from the mountains and seas that only your big families can afford, but I use ordinary ingredients that any ordinary person can taste! Since we don't have things of the same level, you are just winning! ”
Listening to Luo Qinghe's words, Yin Ling felt speechless, and even a little shy about his pride and complacency.
She and Luo Qinghe's craftsmanship is indeed different: her own victory lies in exquisiteness, but the audience is small, and although Luo Qinghe's meat and egg rolls are not as good as their own quality, they are convenient and fast, and they are ordinary delicacies that everyone can enjoy.
Could it be that she had to admit today that even a poor girl in the countryside could invent this pie crust that she was so proud of?
Although she already has this understanding in her heart, Yin Ling still doesn't want to admit this fact: her family has been cooking dishes for the royal family for hundreds of years, and the experience and insight accumulated over the years are unmatched even in the world! Besides, he has been the most talented and hardworking child in the family since he was a child, but now this country girl from nowhere can actually invent something that she is proud of, which makes Yin Ling, who grew up under a famous teacher since she was a child, how can she accept it willingly!
Frowning and biting out a few deep tooth marks on Sakura's lips, Yin Ling stepped forward unwillingly and said, "This girl, I sincerely ask for advice, who are you learning from?" ”
Luo Qinghe said sincerely: "This young lady, I have been honest with you from the beginning, I have no teacher, this skill is just cooked for my family since I was a child, and I have practiced it." ”
Looking at the simple shovel and the basin covered with white gauze on Luo Qinghe's stall, Yin Ling finally believed: If Luo Qinghe really studied under an extremely experienced chef, then her skills and behavior must be as strict as herself, and now it seems that she really didn't lie to herself.
But when Yin Ling knew this fact, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Miss Qianjin's arrogance and self-esteem did not allow Yin Ling to continue to entangle, and after Luo Qinghe said sincerely, Yin Ling could only take out ten taels of silver from his sleeve with a wry smile, and stepped forward and said: "The girl's words have benefited the little girl a lot, so it will affect your business, and this silver can be regarded as a reparation!" ”
But Luo Qinghe, who has always "loved money", gently pushed back and said with a smile: "You and I are both people who love cooking, so it's just a normal competition, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”
Luo Qinghe was so calm and generous, Yin Ling couldn't pull with her anymore, and nodded again: "Since this is the case, then we know each other because of fate, dare to ask the girl's surname?" ”
"Luo, Luo, Luo, who is gradually entering Huaiqing Luo."
Yin Ling nodded after hearing this, and said, "My surname is Yin, girl, the sky is high and the earth is far away, let's meet again!" ”
Yin Ling said, then led a group of cooks to clean up their things neatly, loaded the carriage and left Juying Street without looking back.
Seeing that the competition was over, the people who were still watching the play also left one after another and went their own way.
No matter how exquisite Yin Ling's cooking skills are, only Luo Qinghe can really eat it, so even if Luo Qinghe admits that his skills are not as good as Yin Ling, it will not affect the business of this stall at all.
But at this moment, Luo Qinghe, who seemed to be calm, couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.
Although Fang Cai himself was so upright and persuaded Yin Ling with his words, Luo Qinghe knew in his heart that this pie crust was just what he saw from the stalls on the streets in modern times, so the person who was really upset in this competition was actually Luo Qinghe himself.
Then I admit it like this, admit that Yin Ling's craftsmanship is better than myself?
No way! Luo Qinghe, who is conceited, naturally will not allow himself to admit defeat! Yes, at this moment, the desire to win and lose in her heart has begun to burn, and her heart is full of how to improve her skills in making this meat egg roll and how to surpass Yin Ling.
Fang Mansion
The Qin family set the return banquet of Tongyin Mansion for today, and also ordered Fang Shaojun to personally go to the door to send a greeting sticker to Fang Shaoze.
Even if he was reluctant in his heart, Fang Shaoze still couldn't bear to save his brother's face, so just as Luo Qinghe racked his brains to improve the meat and egg rolls, Fang Shaoze could only look at the zongzi candy on the table in a daze.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with this sugar?" Looking at his eldest brother's absent-minded appearance, Fang Shaojun was a little puzzled.
But before Fang Shaoze could answer, the two brothers heard a girl's cheerful and crisp voice over there: "Don't you feel bored just sitting there!" Brother Shaojun, come and play together! ”
The owner of this voice is the daughter of the Yin Fu family, twelve-year-old Yin Xing, because she has had a good relationship with Fang Shaojun since she was a child, she was sent by the adults to greet her.
Looking at the tall and handsome woman by the pond from afar, Fang Shaojun smiled meaningfully, pulled up his eldest brother and said, "Yes!" It's so boring to just sit, why don't you go with me to have a lively and lively life! ”
