Chapter 66: The Cook

Lin Yuan never expected that the emperor would give such a name, and he was not subject to the control of the Ministry of War, which meant that he could expand his power in the future, frowning and looking at the holy decree in his hand, Lin Yuan glanced at Liu Qingshui, who was full of happiness on the side, and wondered if he should take advantage of the current time to cut it with a knife.

"It's really thanks to Grandpa." Liu Qingshui looked at the sign in his hand, a gilded town character on it was particularly beautiful in Liu Qingshui's eyes, and it was expected that the imperial court would send someone to manage it, but he was also fortunate to get an official position of the general flag, which he never expected.

"Congratulations to Lord Liu." Lin Yuan said lightly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't seem to be very happy, Liu Qingshui was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously, "Does the Duke of Yasukuni have something on his mind?" ”

Lin Yuan suppressed the idea of wanting to do it several times, glanced at Liu Qingshui, and said: "Lord Liu is also an official now, and he is a five-grade official position, and what he wants to do in the future is also a major event in the DPRK and China, don't forget your original intention." ”

Liu Qingshui heard this, and hurriedly said: "The lesson of the Yasukuni Gong is that after the next day, we must do our best to live up to the expectations of the imperial court. If there is any dispatch from the Yasukuni Lord, I will definitely do my best to do it. ”

Lin Yuan looked at Liu Qingshui, did not continue the topic, and said: "Okay, you are Lord Liu's person, I can't command you, you prepare well in the next few days, Lord Liu will go south in a few days, I have to go out in advance." ”

Liu Qingshui bowed down, and after sending Lin Yuan away, he still had some doubts in his heart, how could Yasukuni Gong suddenly seem to be a different person. Lin Yuan really couldn't accept this name, thinking of the notorious secret service in history in his previous life, Lin Yuan regretted going to the imperial court a little. originally thought of using it in the military, but it seems that Li Yuan has other ideas. This made him very irritable.

Lin Yuan came to Chunyan Building, touched his stomach, people wanted to eat when they were annoyed, and looked at the signboard of Chunlai Building, Lin Yuan planned to go in to eat something, but as soon as he walked to the door, he found an acquaintance on his side.

"Lord Yang?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised, looked at the signboard at the door, made sure that he had not come to the wrong place, and looked at Yang Tai.

"Ha, it's a coincidence, Lord Lin is here too." Yang Tai couldn't point out Lin Yuan's identity, and he smiled a little embarrassed. I thought to myself how Lin Yuan would come to this place.

Lin Yuan looked at Yang Tai's unnatural smile, and suddenly realized that this product was not here to eat, and secretly scolded the old lewd, Lin Yuan smiled: "Lord Yang is also here to eat?" ”

"Eat? Yes, yes, yes, I'm here to eat. "Yang Tai said haha, there is a famous chef in Chunyan Building, but he didn't plan to eat today.

"Lord Yang is so good, I'm having a treat today, please come in." Lin Yuan pulled Yang Tai into the building, greeted the maid, and saw that it was the one who received him last time, so he ordered: "The private room on the second floor, a few specialty dishes, and a bottle of good wine." ”

Yang Tai was dragged up to the second floor by Lin Yuan, and sighed helplessly. Sitting in his position, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he had to speak: "I don't know how the Duke of Yasukuni knows that there is a famous chef in Chunyan Building." ”

"My father-in-law likes to eat this dish, and I came to Yangzhou to inquire before I knew that there was such a place, and I came to eat it once last time, and it tasted good." Lin Yuan looked at Yang Tai with a smile, "What?" Lord Yang also comes often? ”

Yang Tai responded a little embarrassed, and then didn't speak again, it is easy to make mistakes when he talks too much, and it is better to say less. The dish was extremely fast, Lin Yuan put down the chopsticks after eating a few bites, looked at Yang Tai and asked, "Lord Yang can receive the will of the capital?" ”

Yang Tai thought for a while and said, "What did Grandpa say was about the town government department?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded, he wanted to know what most officials thought of this matter. You can't be here by yourself.

Yang Tai thought for a while and said, "This matter is a foregone conclusion, but Xia Guan heard that this matter is a little different from what Grandpa thought." ”

Lin Yuan did not deny it, this was exactly what he was worried about, Yang Tai saw this and said: "What the grandfather thinks may be good, but the complicated situation of the imperial court, this thing will always change its flavor when it comes out in the end, and the lower officials feel that the emperor still respects the meaning of the grandfather." ”

"How?" Lin Yuan said curiously.

"Although the emperor has made some changes, the general direction is still in the direction of the grandfather." Yang Tai knew what Lin Yuan was worried about, because officials at all levels of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the opposition were the same as Lin Yuan's worries, and the article 'investigating and handling special cases' in this decree meant that the town government department was not a purely external organization, and the internal opening had been opened. Fortunately, there is also Liu Ren's jurisdiction, so it won't be too out of line.

Lin Yuan thought about it and felt that what Yang Tai said also made some sense. Then he sighed and said, "Let's take one step at a time." For this matter, Lin Yuan can only look at its development. It was released by itself, and after all, it had to be cleaned up by itself.

Pushing the cup with Yang Tai for a while, while laughing, he remembered the knock outside the door, Lin Yuan said come in, but saw a woman walk in and saw her face. Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, but Yang Tai on the side was a little embarrassed.

"I heard that Lord Yang is here, why don't you go to Rong Niang's." The woman said with a smile, and then found that something was wrong, there was still a person sitting opposite Yang Tai, who was not very old, but he was sitting in the main seat, the woman stopped talking, and said with some doubts: "Who is this?" ”

"This is the Yasukuni Gong who went south to inspect." Yang Tai said with a dark face, glanced at Lin Yuan's narrow smile, and his face darkened a little.

The woman was shocked, this is the restless Yasukuni Gong in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in front of her? hurriedly saluted: "The little woman Feng Qingxue has seen the Duke of Yasukuni. "This is a big man in Jiangsu and Zhejiang right now, and when his name is spoken, even the family does not dare to despise it.

"It's not polite, it's just chatting, it's not officialdom, there is not so much etiquette." Lin Yuan said with a smile, then looked at Feng Qingxue, and said with a smile: "You are the woman who fascinated Master Lu Yuanlu?" ”

Feng Qingxue's face turned red and said, "It's just a rumor, how can a little woman be so charming." ”

"In that case, then I will be polite to Master Lu, if I dig him up to the capital, you don't regret it." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"To the capital? Do? Feng Qingxue was startled and hurriedly asked, and then felt rude, so she lowered her head and didn't speak.

"I'm short of cooks." Lin Yuan took a sip of wine and said.

Feng Qingxue gritted her teeth, she really couldn't stop it, but she was unwilling, so she could only be silent, she seemed to have made a great determination, looked up at Lin Yuan and said, "Since the Duke of Yasukuni has taken a fancy to it, then take it with you." Feng Qingxue felt a lot empty in her heart, so she didn't say hello, turned around and walked out of the room.

Yang Tai was a little puzzled whether Lin Yuan had been planning for a long time or made a sudden decision, seeing that Yang Tai had questions, Lin Yuan didn't explain, but said with a smile: "She is unwilling." ”

"Grandpa is talking about Feng Qingxue?" Lin Yuan nodded and didn't say anything, he still had to wait, maybe he could meet Lu Yuan today.

In the back kitchen of Chunyan Building, Lu Yuan looked at Feng Qingxue with red eyes in disbelief, and said a little helplessly: "Qingxue, what's wrong?" Who messed with you? ”

Looking at the appearance of the man in front of her with red eyes, Feng Qingxue felt that the world had never been fair to her, she was sold to the Qinglou at a young age, and when she grew up, she emerged in Yangzhou City with her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, although her life was much better than when she was young, but in the eyes of some big people, it was just a plaything. finally had Lu Yuan's support, but in an instant, he was about to be taken away.

Wiping her eyes, Feng Qingxue said, "You clean up and leave in a while." ”

"Where am I going?" Lu Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, which one sang for no reason.

"The big man has taken a fancy to you, let you follow back to the capital." Feng Qingxue said angrily, still pretending to be stupid to herself.

"There's a big guy out there." Lu Yuan looked at Feng Qingxue a little speechlessly.

"It's on the second floor, Lord Yang is accompanied, it was the Yasukuni Gong from Beijing who said it himself, and people have taken a fancy to you as a cook." Feng Qingxue said with some anger.

"What bullshit, did I say yes?" Lu Yuan scolded, and after speaking, he walked towards the second floor, he wanted to see what kind of Yasukuni Gong was. Seeing this, Feng Qingxue was startled, for fear that Lu Yuan would be in trouble, so she hurriedly chased out.

The door was vigorously pushed open, and Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the person who broke in, this person was probably that Lu Yuan.

"Who, who is going to take me away?" Lu Yuan looked around the room, saw Yang Tai sitting, and then looked at Lin Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, and said, "It's you?" ”

"Presumptuous, Lu Yuan, have you drunk too much?" Yang Tai scolded.

"Lord Yang, don't talk, I'll set up a table to apologize in the future, I'm here to find the person who bullied Qingxue." Lu Yuan said.

"No one is bullying Feng Qingxue here, you get out quickly." Yang Tai said.

"Slow, this matter has to be explained clearly, I Lin Mou haven't married yet, and if it spreads, my reputation is not very good." Lin Yuan stopped with a smile, then looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "You are Lu Yuan?" ”

"It's here, I heard that you are going to take me to the capital?" Lu Yuan glanced at Lin Yuandao.

"Let's not talk about this first, let me ask you, have you ever heard of Luoxian Tower?" Lin Yuan asked.

Lu Yuan frowned, he had heard some of Luoxian Lou, mainly because it was opened by Li Wei, a famous chef in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Seeing Lu Yuan nodding, Lin Yuan said, "I want to invite you to Luoxian Tower to take charge." ”

"What do you have to do with Levi?" Lu Yuan asked.

"I don't know Li Wei, but Luoxian Building is opened by him, and I have shares in it." Lin Yuan said.

"No, no." Lu Yuan refused very simply.

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "The twisted melon is not sweet, otherwise, you go to the capital to compete once, if you lose, you will stay in Luoxian Tower, if I lose, I will promise you a condition?" ”

"Competing with you?" Lu Yuan glanced at Lin Yuan and asked.

"It's not with me, I only know how to eat, I can't do it, and the one who competes with you is the current master of Luoxian Building." Lin Yuan said.

Lu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Can I put forward conditions now?" ”

"Let's talk about it first." Lin Yuan said.

"Win or lose, I'll give you ten years for nothing, but you're going to give me something." Lu Yuan said.

"What's that?"

"A piece of paper." Lu Yuan said, Feng Qingxue was stunned, she knew what Lu Yuan was talking about, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, but Lin Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "What paperwork?" ”

"A document to restore the identity of the good man of the light snow." Lu Yuan said.

Glancing at the emotional Feng Qingxue, Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "No problem. ”

"A word?"

"It's hard to chase a horse in a word, but this grandfather still has this reputation, if you don't feel at ease, please ask Lord Yang to be a witness." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Well, from now on, I'll be your man for ten years." Lu Yuan said. Lin Yuan frowned, how could this sound weird. can also get a cook after a meal, Yang Tai really admires Lin Yuan's brain circuit. And Lin Yuan was also very happy, Luoxian Lou had grown again. Thinking of Luoxian Tower, Lin Yuan's heart flashed Li Qingqian's appearance, and he actually wanted to return to the capital sooner.
