Chapter 28 Borrowing

"Borrow the Imperial Kitchen?" Putting down the music in his hand, Li Yuan looked at Wang Wei with some puzzlement, what is this going to toss again? I borrowed something and borrowed it from my head.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is right, right now the Duke of Yasukuni is still waiting outside the palace." Wang Wei sighed a little that Lin Yuan's courage was really big. Can you borrow it casually?

"Announce him in." Li Yuan decided to listen to what Lin Yuan had to say first.

"Yes." Xuan Lin Yuan, who was waiting outside the hall, into the hall, Lin Yuan saluted Li Yuan, who was seated: "Minister, meet the emperor." Seeing this scene, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the last time Lin Yuan shouted long live, and chuckled: "Get up." ”

"Your Majesty." Lin Yuan stood up and stood sideways at the foot of the hall. I was still thinking about how to ask the emperor to borrow someone, after all, there was no precedent for this matter. Dare to ask the emperor to borrow something, I am afraid that it is still the first copy of Da Zhou.

"Wang Wei said that you want to borrow someone?" Li Yuan looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

Seeing that the emperor didn't mention anything else, but went straight to the point, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then straightened out his thoughts and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen really wants to borrow someone." ”

"What do you want a kitchen for? You don't have anyone to cook? Li Yuan took a sip of the teacup.

"There is no shortage of cooks in the minister's mansion, and Weichen borrowed people to be judges, because the minister heard that the chef of the palace, Master Kong, is the best in the world, and he was once famous in Jiangnan, so the minister came to the palace to borrow people."

Lin Yuan didn't expect so many people to come to the chef competition before, from the beginning of the rush to win money, to now because of the gathering of famous chefs in Beijing, the later contestants hope that they can prove themselves in this competition, after all, the matter of literati is also in other industries. This makes it seem that Li Qingqian cannot support the jury alone, and needs a person with a higher status to preside.

"Judges? What kind of moth do you have? Li Yuan scolded with a smile.

"The minister held the Beijing Kitchen God Competition, there are too many people participating in it now, and the minister has used a lot of means, but the number of people has not decreased but increased, and the matter has reached the current situation, and the minister has no choice but to ask the emperor for help." Lin Yuan did use a lot of means, and the payment for the participation failed to stop people's enthusiasm. At present, Fei Linyuan has received nearly three hundred taels for registration alone. That's the entry fee for one or two people.

"It's not profitable, let's say, how much money have you made so far?" Li Yuan knew that Lin Yuan would not make a loss-making transaction.

"The emperor Shengming, what Wei Chen has done has not been hidden from the emperor, and now the registration fee has reached hundreds of taels, and the advertising Fei Chen in the arena has not yet been negotiated." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"Do you need money to sign up?" Li Yuan looked at Lin Yuan speechlessly. "Weichen doesn't want to, but there are too many people, the minister has to find a way, and besides, it can be regarded as eliminating some people in advance, there are a lot of cooks in the capital, and the income is okay, if it is difficult to take out one or two silver, it is not good to think about cooking."

"There is no one who makes money to the point where you are." Li Yuan complained, "You can't just make a lot of money there, but I can't get any benefits from the people in this palace." ”

Wang glanced at the emperor in surprise, and thought to himself, the emperor heard that he agreed, but why did he still start trading?

"But the emperor is in charge, and the ministers have no objections." Lin Yuan knew that it was impossible not to bleed, and it was okay to play with the empty gloves of the white wolf below, but I was afraid that playing this trick on the emperor would not be far from death. But it was not appropriate for him to speak, so he kicked the ball to the emperor.

"This ......" Li Yuan was dumbfounded, how could he open his mouth and take advantage of his courtiers? After thinking about it, he didn't know what to say, tilted his head to look at Wang Wei on the side, Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "The prince is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, and he has always taken care of the imperial dining room, so you can discuss it with the prince." Wang Wei listened to a bitter look, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only say helplessly: "The old slave takes the order." ”

"The ministers obey the order, thank the emperor for his grace." Lin Yuan bowed down and thanked him

"Stand down, you still have to take a good look at this performance." Li Yuan waved his hand, and Lin Yuan bowed down and exited the hall.

"Yasukuni Gong walks slowly." As soon as he came out, Wang Wei hurriedly chased him out.

Lin Yuan stopped and looked back at Wang Wei and said, "Princess, slow down." ”

"Duke Yasukuni, what you said to the emperor today, dare to ask what your plans are?" Wang Wei took a breath and said.

"The emperor represented by the prince, if this matter is done well, there will be a lot of profits, but this time the prince is not only going for money, but mainly for people." Lin Yuan explained.

"Human?" Wang Wei was a little puzzled.

Lin Yuan nodded: "My lord is short of cooks now. "There is a shortage of cooks in the Guogong Mansion, what kind of medicine is sold in this Yasukuni Gong gourd? Wang Wei was a little puzzled, "Didn't Grandpa say before that there was no shortage of cooks?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "What I said is that there is no shortage in the house, but I have something to do at the moment, and there is a shortage of cooks." ”

"Then according to the meaning of the Duke of Yasukuni, how much silver can you probably earn in this competition?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, he didn't count this, seeing that Lin Yuan didn't know, Wang Wei was also a little troubled, Yasukuni Gong was no better than others, and he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Wang thought for a while and said, "This time there are only people in the palace, how about you think we split the account fifty-fifty?" Wang Wei did not dare to guarantee whether the Yasukuni Gong would accept it.

Wang Wei looked at Lin Yuan's face, but heard Lin Yuan shake his head and say: "Father-in-law is confused, if there is no contribution from the palace, I can't handle this matter, so I will be the master, I will take the third, and the rest will belong to the palace." ”

Looking at Lin Yuan in amazement, Wang Wei really didn't know what to say, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you to the Duke of Jingguo." You set a time, and I'll let Kang Tong prepare. ”

"Five days later, I sent someone to pick up Master Kong. Then I will be tired of my father-in-law. Lin Yuan knew that in addition to the preliminary preparations this time, it can be said that there is no capital to buy, even if it is thirty percent, there are a lot, and people can't be too greedy. Pulling the palace in is also to improve the gold content of the game.

After leaving the palace, Lin Yuan rushed to Luoxian Tower, because there were too many participants, these days under the auspices of Li Qingqian to start the preliminaries, need to brush down a lot of people, according to Lin Yuan's meaning to leave twelve people is the best. As soon as he walked to the West Market, there were a lot of people around the door of Luoxian Tower, not the cheers that came, so that Lin Yuan could put his mind at ease, it seemed that the effect was good.

As soon as I walked into the store, I saw Li Qingqian trying dishes, that seriousness In Lin Yuan's opinion, it was a little cute, this girl really loves to cook.

Someone kept being brushed off and left with a disappointed face. waved to Li Xiandao, and when he saw someone coming to him, he said, "How is the situation?" Is there anyone making trouble? ”

Li Xiandao looked at Li Qingqian with satisfaction: "Miss has the true inheritance of the master, it is not a problem to deal with it now, plus the master still has some prestige in the rivers and lakes before his death, and the people who come to the competition are also clear." Miss's comments are also fair, young master rest assured, there will be no trouble. ”

Lin Yuan nodded: "This period of time is harder, and it will be better in the finals on the fifth day, I will invite a capable person." ”

"Dare to ask who the young master invited?" Li Xiandao was a little curious.

"The head of the Imperial Diet, Kang Tong." Lin Yuan said.

"Kangtong? What the young master said was a knife in Jiangnan? Li Xiandao was a little excited.

"Jiangnan knife? This man used to cut people? Lin Yuan frowned and looked at Li Xiandao.

"The young master misunderstood, Kang Tong was the chef of Jiangnan Heyuan, and his knife skills were superb, the master once said that there are few people in Kang Tong's cooking skills in Da Zhou, there is no news for so many years, it turned out that he went to the palace."

"It's quite famous, I've also eaten imperial food, and it's not as delicious as Miss Li's." Lin Yuan thought about the taste of eating in the palace a few times ago and shook his head.

"Thank you for the compliment." Li Qingqian's voice came from behind him, Lin Yuan turned around and smiled embarrassedly, "The girl has worked hard, and she can't help much, so when she is done for a while, I will thank you in the next place." ”

"Well, thank you, Childe." Looking at Li Qingqian, who was blushing, Lin Yuan was puzzled, and Li Xiandao on the side looked at the two thoughtfully.

"Then I will say goodbye first, and if you have something, you can go to the house to find Steward Lin." Lin Yuan arched his hand, turned around and left Luoxian Tower, and then he was still busy, and the advertising space had not been sold yet.

And at this moment, in the Guogong Mansion, Zhang Yao's shopkeepers had already arrived at the mansion, watching the little guy come in to add water, the man next to Zhang Yao looked at Zhang Yao and whispered: "President Zhang, is this grandfather so busy?" The water has been refilled five times, and the people have not returned. ”

"Shopkeeper Hao, don't worry, the Duke of Yasukuni is highly valued by the emperor, and Steward Lin has just said that the Duke of Yasukuni has gone to the palace, and I am afraid that he is still facing the saint at this moment." Zhang Yao said in a low voice.

"Okay." Shopkeeper Hao was silent, and yesterday Zhang Yao of the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce summoned all the shopkeepers of West Sichuan who were doing business in Beijing, saying that there was a big deal to do. Or cooperate with the prince of the country, no one wants to do it at first, after all, if you cooperate with Xungui, you must be ready to lose meat. But this Zhang Yao is an exception, a month ago, Gyeonggi suddenly became popular with a fire-making utensil, which can be placed at home for heating and cooking, which is extremely convenient. Zhang Yao made a lot of profits with such goods, and what was even more outrageous was that it was such a simple utensil, but no one imitated it. So no one dared to do it.

I heard that this transaction is still in cooperation with this Guogong, and everyone is here to try their luck, even if the transaction fails, it is good to settle down
