Chapter Seventy-Eight: Laba is very lively

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Lin Zhao heard a little bit of information about Tang Jie, but he didn't expect that he was offended by a big man today, and he definitely played a big deal.

However, Lin Zhao was not afraid in his heart, but he was a little reluctant to go, after all, the sixty-year-old man fainted on the spot. Although he was stubborn and self-inflicted, from a humanitarian point of view, Lin Zhao was still somewhat apologetic.

After this episode, the court meeting was also forced to be interrupted. Emperor Zhao sent someone to send Tang Jie back to his house, and sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. The status of the governor of the political affairs, as well as his reputation and status in the Great Song Dynasty, reminded him that he had to handle this matter well.

At the same time, he issued an edict and sent the three law divisions and the Hanlin bachelor to jointly send people to Dengzhou to investigate and collect evidence. With Lin Zhao's prior investigation, not to mention the report of the Imperial City Division that followed him, the conclusion was naturally not worried at all. Now it is necessary to use this result to gag the mouths of the courtiers and expand the benefits.

Lin Zhao left the palace in a complicated mood, and what happened today was completely unexpected! He didn't want to do this, but he inadvertently caused such a result, which is really helpless!

Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so let's do what it should be!

Back in Jiangnanju, Lin Zhao immediately put on a pleasant smile, he couldn't let Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun worry, and at the same time there were other things to be busy with.

On average, every month or two, Jiangnanju will hold activities during major festivals. For example, Qixi Festival, such as Mid-Autumn Festival, Winter Solstice, etc. Entering December, Laba is the first festival and the best sales opportunity. When it comes to the later Chinese New Year's Eve, it is a different matter, family reunion, ancestor worship and other major matters, the business of the restaurant is average. Lin Zhao and others still have the opportunity to return to Jiangning for the New Year, so Laba is undoubtedly the last event in the first year of Jiangnan Juxining.

The news of the Jiangnan Jula Eight Banquet soon spread, and in the past six months, Jiangnan Ju has made a good name in Bianjing, almost surpassing Fan Lou and Rendian. Other ordinary restaurants are far from perfect, and there are not a few people who envy, envy and hate.

Originally, some people planned to use some black methods behind their backs, but they learned that there were a lot of people in the Jiangnan Curie Ya, and the boss Lin Zhao was an official in the court, and his reputation was not small, and the young people were quite jealous, so they settled down.

"What should you do with the Laba Festival this time?" Lin Zhao personally presided over it, and Meng Ruoying knew that Bacheng would have new ideas, so she asked.

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Last time, the roasted whole sheep should take the opportunity to promote it!" ”

"Yes! However, roasted whole sheep is just a favorite of some northern diners, and the response in the Central Plains and the south is mediocre...... Meng Ruoying said: "I bought a lot of mutton before, but now it seems to be a bit wasted......"

"So?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but ponder, the delicacy on the grassland didn't seem to be very popular in the Central Plains! Maybe it's roasting whole sheep, but the way of grasping meat by hand is too "barbaric", and it is not easy to accept in the eyes of famous scholars who pay attention to etiquette.

"So be it!" Lin Zhao said: "It's cold in winter, those muttons are not bad, the mutton is surnamed Wen, and it tastes warm in winter, if you add something else...... It's hot, spicy, and it's going to be refreshing! ”

"What the hell are you talking about?" Meng Ruoying looked at Lin Zhao suspiciously, her heart was full of anticipation!

"Hot pot, mutton shabu!"

"Hot pot? What is this? How? ”

Lin Zhao said: "Prepare some copper stove pots, place charcoal fire underneath, boil the pot above, and then add the ingredients to blanch." All we have to do is prepare the soup stock of the pot, add some dogwood, peppercorns, mustard, and mix a variety of spices, and it will taste very good......

Then cut the mutton into thin slices and boil it slightly in the boiling soup before eating, which is absolutely delicious and wounded. The most important thing is that the food is always hot, so you don't have to worry about cooling down gradually, and it is warmer and healthier to eat. In the summer, when the mutton is hot and dry, we can replace it with river fresh, pork belly or something......"

Meng Ruoying thought of the hot pot, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she nodded: "Sounds very good, why didn't you get it out earlier, most of the winter has passed!" ”

Lin Zhao smiled helplessly, he was sent by the emperor a few days ago, and he was so busy that he had no time to think about this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll get a copy out for you to taste, and then improve it slightly, and promote it when Laba is over!" ”

"Good!"

Then Lin Zhao personally cooked, and the first hot pot in history came out! Meng Ruoying and the others salivated and had great confidence in this. On this basis, Lin Zhao adopted some more opinions, further improved, and launched hot pot shabu mutton.

So much so that some people were amazed again, how did Lin Gongzi know so much? How often is there such a miraculous invention?

Lin Zhao completely regarded this as a pastime, the intrigue in the court was too bothersome, and the pressure he was under in the past few days was not small, so he just took the opportunity to rest for a few days.

A few days before the lunar month, the news of Jiangnan Jula Bapin hot pot spread. Because of the various delicacies represented by the Buddha jumping over the wall, many diners are full of confidence in this, attracting many people to be excited and look forward to it.

Lin Zhao sent invitations to a group of sons in the yamen as usual, as for whether people can come, it is difficult to say, after all, this time it "offended" a lot of people, I am afraid that some people should avoid suspicion. Of course, there are also people who have said from the beginning that they will definitely come to the show.

"Hot pot?" In the Chongyi Gongchai Mansion by the Wuzhang River, Chai Minyan was very interested and looked at his brother curiously!

Chai Ruone nodded and said, "Yes, it must be a new thing that Lin Dongyang has made!" Jiang Nanju is going to turn a full bowl of gold and silver this time. Alas, this guy is really a weirdo, he has made an earth-shattering mess in the court, and he still has the heart to cook food at home and do business, he is really calm! ”

Chai Minyan said leisurely: "I didn't expect him to say such a thing, but it was quite surprising and imposing!" ”

Chai Ruone looked at the expression on her sister's face, and said suspiciously: "Do you still think it is good that he has caused such a disaster?" Can it only be appreciated? ”

"That's nature!" Chai Min said: "Looking at the court, how many young people have the courage to dare to rebuke Prime Minister Hanlin? Fair and kind, with a sense of justice, even if he has other purposes, he is willing to dare to set foot in the whirlpool of the court for a little woman who has only one side, go thousands of miles to Dengzhou, speak righteously, and reprimand the courtiers, which is worthy of admiration! ”

"Admiration? I don't know how he should solve the following troubles? Chai Ruone shook his head slightly, feeling that Lin Zhao's current situation was very bad.

"Don't worry, if he dares to do this, there must be a way!" Chai Minyan is full of confidence in Lin Zhao.

Chai Ruone couldn't help but look at her sister in surprise, and said with a smile: "Hey, I said Minyan, I found that you pay a lot of attention to this Lin Dongyang?" The last time he went to Liao, he said that he was sick in order to go to Dengzhou, you seem to be quite concerned? He scolded the court, and you pay a lot of attention to political affairs, which is very unusual! He seemed to be smiling when he spoke, and looked at Chai Minyan meaningfully......

Chai Minyan was kind to her, and she knew what her brother was laughing at as soon as her eyes moved, and her heart moved lightly for no reason, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

Chai Ruone smiled and said: "Lin Dongyang sent me an invitation and asked me to go to Laba, why don't you go with my little sister to join in the fun?" See those magical things, not to mention anything else, the food in Jiangnanju is really delicious. ”

"This ......" Chai Minyan wanted to go, but he seemed to hesitate a little in his heart......

Chai Ruone said: "It's been boring at home all day, so let's go out for a walk together and relax!" Don't worry, it's a big deal that you wear men's clothes, or you can't bring a Su curtain to cover it. ”

Since the title of the first beauty in Bianjing spread, many people have come to visit, and there are not a few who propose marriage. Chai Min was so annoyed that he rarely went out recently, and it was really boring to be bored in the boudoir.

"Good!" Chai Minyan pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to go.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Second brother, Laba said, there seems to be a hot pot meeting in Jiangnan Ju Restaurant, and that Lin Zhao will appear......" Zhao Zhongshan found Zhao Hao as soon as possible and reported this "good news"!

"This guy is finally willing to show up!" I haven't seen Lin Zhao for a long time, and the matter of buying a white horse has been delayed, but it makes Zhao Hao's heart itch and uncomfortable. He said in a deep voice: "I've been waiting for a long time to finally see someone, but I heard that he is very famous in the court these days, and there is a lot of noise!" ”

Lin Zhao is definitely a celebrity now, and his famous name has already spread in Bianjing officialdom.

"No, he scolded most of the officials in the court, and even his original backer, Wang Anshi, was offended, especially when he was angry with Tang Xianggong, and now he is blaming!" Zhao Zhongshan was a little gloating, and continued: "Right now is an opportunity, Lin Zhao is alone, everyone shouts and beats, there is no support, as long as a little pressure is applied, why is it difficult to get that white horse?"

If he is still obsessed, then the second brother can also teach this unknown boy a lesson. There is a way that the wall is pushed down by everyone, just because of the early days of Tang Xianggong, it is estimated that the hundred officials will also praise the second brother for his righteousness! ”

"It's so good, then take advantage of Laba to meet this Lin Dongyang!" Zhao Hao's hatred has not disappeared, and he will never forget the white horse. Later, he gathered a group of royal family gentlemen with Zhao Zhongshan, and definitely went to Jiangnan to find bad luck.

At the same time, Wang Yan, Cao Jian, Wen Hefu and many other sons of the Yanai received invitations!

Jiangnan Ju is full of lights, ready to open the door to welcome guests in Labadang!
