Since the cooking competition, the popularity of the restaurant has reached a higher level, and more and more people have come to try this cheap and delicious restaurant that won the first place in the cooking competition.

As a result, there is a long queue in front of the restaurant every day, the pots and pans in the kitchen are no longer empty, and the chefs are overwhelmed with the next dish after they finish cooking one dish. The shopkeeper in the store is also busy, busy running errands everywhere.

On the one hand, she has to manage her internal staff, and deal with unexpected conflicts in the restaurant, etc., devoting herself to the work of the restaurant every day, and rarely leaving time for herself.

Lin Nanyi's cooking skills are also growing day by day, and he almost finished learning the dishes he wants to learn in the following time.

Almost when he was about to leave the flavor building, Ji Wan still sat in the lobby and worked hard to settle the accounts, and sometimes when the accounts went wrong, she needed to spend more time to deal with them.

Late one night, Ji Wan finally finished today's accounts and returned to her room. She lay on her back on her bed, and suddenly thought deeply, is it really worth it to be happy when she is so busy every day and works so hard for her career?

Suddenly, she realized that she had traveled to ancient times, and she had never planned much for herself. Either they're fighting against those who are against them, or they're busy with the store.

Shouldn't I be able to take it easy? Ji Wan turned over and silently made a plan in her heart.

The next day, another slanderous notice was posted in front of the flavor building, which said that a deputy shopkeeper was recruited to govern all matters in the flavor building, and the salary was very expensive.

Suddenly there was a sensation in the crowd, many people came to apply, both men and women, and what surprised Chi Wan even more was that she also saw a familiar face in the crowd.

It was the Central Plains shopkeeper who lost in the cooking competition, and he immediately performed a standard Central Plains etiquette after seeing Chi Wan, and Chi Wan asked, "Why did you appear here, shopkeeper?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Central Plains explained to Chi Wan: "I came from the Central Plains, and since I was a child, I wanted to open a Central Plains-style restaurant in the Jiangnan area, but after I came, I learned that most of the people's tastes here are not in line with the Central Plains people. ”

"At that cooking competition, I saw that the chefs in the Chi Shopkeeper Restaurant also cook Chinese dishes, and the people here love to eat them. So I came here to learn cooking skills from the shopkeeper, and if I don't dislike it, I can also help in managing the affairs of the restaurant. ”

Chi Wan thinks that most of the food in the Central Plains has a heavy taste, and it is mainly game, and the most important thing is the original taste of the ingredients. Therefore, the people of the Central Plains do not do anything to deal with the fishy smell, and they use heavy materials.

However, most of the people here are not accustomed to eating the authentic food of the Central Plains, if you want them to accept it, you must retain the characteristics of the Central Plains cuisine and rely on the taste of the people here.

And for this authentic shopkeeper in the Central Plains, he didn't take these into account, so it is understandable that his restaurant does not have many customers.

"Naturally, welcome." Chi Wan has always been very polite to those who come to be kind people, not to mention that the other party already has experience in managing restaurants, and if he takes over the flavor building, he can also be handy as soon as possible.

As a result, the Central Plains shopkeeper successfully became the acting shopkeeper of the flavor building, and Chi Wan was a little worried at first, after all, the huge number of guests in the flavor building may not be able to control the Central Plains shopkeeper, who knows that the other party seems to have seen such a big scene, and everything is handled properly.

Ji Wan was free like this, and she now had a lot of time for herself to rest and relax.

She immediately thought that she had come to Xicheng and had stayed here for so long, but she was only familiar with the scenery of this town, and she didn't know anything else.

Chi Wan couldn't help but want to go and see what fun places were in this Xicheng, and the beautiful scenery was for her to enjoy the mountains and rivers. She thought of Lin Nanyi for the first time, so she found him and asked him, "Young Master Lin, how long have you lived in this western city?" “

"It's been five or six years, what's wrong?" Lin Nanyi said.

"Do you know what's interesting in this West City?" Chi Wan wrapped one hand around her hair, and her whole body revealed a full ladylike flavor.

Lin Nanyi blushed unconsciously, he has always regarded Chi Wan as the shopkeeper of the flavor building, or as his friend, and many times he ignores that she is actually a woman.

Lin Nanyi scratched his chin and proposed: "It's better to go to the Jiuyin Pavilion in the town next door, where many famous geisha in the West City are located, and there are many good pianos there, I think you will like it." ”

Ji Wan said with some embarrassment: "But I'm not proficient in music......

Lin Nanyi was also a little embarrassed at this time, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's better to go to the tea shop not far away, you can play a game while tasting tea." ”

"But I won't play against ......."

Chi Wan was ashamed, she originally just wanted to go sightseeing, but when Lin Nanyi said this, she suddenly realized that she would be able to do it for other women in this era, and she would not.

I can do business and medical skills, but if I compare piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can say that I don't know anything.

Why don't you take advantage of this time to improve these technologies? Ji Wan's eyes flickered, and she seemed to have found her own goal.

Lin Nanyi didn't know what to say for a while, he seemed to hold up Chi Wan. After staying in the palace for a long time, he couldn't help but feel that qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were the basis for measuring a woman's talent.

However, he hit a wall here with Chi Wan, and now he is extremely distressed, not knowing if what he just said made Chi Wan feel embarrassed.

Just when he didn't know how to speak next, Chi Wan took the lead and said, "Lin Gongzi, I'm smiling at you, but I've now made up my mind to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you know where there is a master who can teach this?" ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Nanyi's eyes, and he said to Chi Wan sincerely: "Shopkeeper Chi, I have learned so many cooking skills from your side, why don't you let me repay you and teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party with a look of disbelief and said, "Lin Gongzi knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" ”

"Not much, only a few, but I think it's enough to teach the pool shopkeeper some foundation."

Lin Nanyi didn't say a word and took Chi Wan to his residence, this is a good house, and for ordinary people, it is definitely a place where officials can live.

Chi Wan followed Lin Nanyi to the backyard, where there was an elegant room, Lin Nanyi opened the door, and it was bright.

There are three guqins hanging on the wall, perhaps because the owner often strokes the qin, so it looks very spiritual and very bright; On the other wall, there are several landscape ink paintings, as well as brush works, and if you look closely, Chi Wan finds that they are all the same person, but it is not Lin Nanyi.

There was also a chessboard, an unfinished game, but it seemed clear that Kuroko was dominant.

"We're learning right here, how?" Lin Nanyi took a piano from the wall, and then sat on the ground, as if a warning came suddenly, and a leisurely song flowed out of the piano like the sound of gurgling water.

Suddenly, it was noisy and urgent, and suddenly it was like a bird and magpie singing, which made people linger and did not want to return. After talking about a song, Chi Wan suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly praised it repeatedly: "This song is really wonderful!" I didn't expect your piano skills to be so superb, I really admire you. ”

"The shopkeeper of the pool praised it falsely, I just know some simple tunes, this "First Snow Melt" is very simple, and after you learn it for a while, you can play it as well as I did."

Chi Wan was already eager to try, she came to Lin Nanyi's side, and Lin Nanyi began to teach Chi Wan the palace Shangjiao Huiyu, and taught Chi Wan how to strump the strings and pluck the strings. Ji Wan studied very seriously, and sometimes even took notes to review.

Lin Nanyi saw that Chi Wan loved learning so much, and it was even incumbent on her to move her piano to Chi Wan's restaurant, so that Chi Wan could practice even when she was alone, and she didn't have to dare to play the piano for fear of embarrassment.

In addition to piano skills, painting, calligraphy, and games, Lin Nanyi also arranged corresponding courses for Chi Wan every day, so that she could learn some things every day, accumulate over time, and make progress little by little.

In the process of learning, Chi Wan discovered Lin Nanyi's extraordinaryness little by little. Ordinary men, either go to the countryside to farm, or learn martial arts, no matter how poor they are, they are doing business and learning books, how can there be a person like Lin Nanyi who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is really very rare.

And he found that Lin Nanyi had always lived alone, and when she asked about his parents, he almost kept silent or changed the topic, which made Chi Wan a little confused and confused.

However, it's enough to take care of yourself, isn't it, Chi Wan has shown results in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting after Lin Nanyi's careful teaching of herself every day.

She already knows how to play some simple tunes, and she knows several kinds of Go formations, from looking at the ink paintings on the wall and only praising them in a row, to now she can pick up a pen and spend a few landscapes.

Chi Wan was very surprised by her progress, and so was Lin Nanyi, her learning progress was even faster than she was at the beginning, all of which was entrusted to her earnestness and diligence.

Lin Nanyi began to find that as long as Chi Wan is willing to put her heart and soul into doing one thing, she will definitely succeed, whether it is opening a restaurant to cook at the beginning, or learning these skills now, she is handy, making progress layer by layer, and always able to surprise herself.
