On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the imperial list at the gate of the imperial city became the place that attracted the most attention of the people that day. The list published above quickly spread throughout the city, and yesterday's results could be known without deliberate listening.

Xia Shang slept to death, and once he fell asleep, he didn't hear anything outside the window. When I woke up today, it was too noisy outside, and I dimly heard someone shouting "impossible" or something.

When I opened my eyes, my eyelids were trembling, and my pillow was empty, and I stretched out a big lazy waist and asked listlessly, "What's going on outside?" ”

Li Luo sent the clothes and pushed them in a panic: "Sister Xu is here, it's very urgent, it seems that something has happened." ”

Xia Shang was sober, and when he went out, he learned from Xu Yuan that yesterday's dishes were not selected.

The weather was very good today, but Xu Yuan felt very bad, muttering "impossible" in Xia Shang's courtyard, and his tone was sometimes high and low, which made people very worried.

Xia Shang didn't have time to think about the result, and when he saw Xu Yuan's state, his eyebrows were screwed together.

"Xu Yuan, you relax a little, everyone has their own preferences, not entering the next round does not mean that the dishes have failed, it may be due to luck, or there may be better works in the forefront of our ranks. If you want to open a little, it's a big deal to start over. ”

"Impossible! When pigs fly! It shouldn't have turned out this way! I don't believe that yesterday's dish will fail, even if it can't make it to the third round, but it won't even make it to the list of the big court. There must be something greasy in this! Someone is plotting against me behind my back! Thing...... That's not how it shouldn't be! ”

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and it is the day of the reopening of delicious and delicious.

There will be a lot of people shopping today, business is bound to be better than in the past, Xia Shang has a lot of things to do, and more than a dozen franchisees have already pushed carts waiting outside the backyard. Now that Xu Yuan is in pain in the courtyard, and all the work can't continue, Xia Shang and Li Luo made a look, and Li Luo comforted Xu Yuan while pulling Xu Yuan into the house.

The door of the hut was closed, but Xu Yuan's faint sobbing could be heard.

Xia Shang sighed, Xu Yuan's dedication to cooking is admirable, if it weren't for the fact that time didn't allow it, I really wanted to accompany her well.

In order to increase the total sales, in addition to the adjacent large kitchen to operate, the stove under the jujube tree that has not been on fire for a long time also smoked, and Xia Shang personally went into battle to guide the later guys.

The guys have just finished the New Year, and today I heard that it is three times the salary, and they are working in full swing. But Xia Shang gradually felt that he couldn't concentrate, and all that flashed in his mind was the clips of following Xu Yuan to participate in the Great Dynasty Banquet.

Looking back on the two rounds, there are a lot of doubts in between. The most puzzling thing is that behind Xu Yuan is Yunshui Pavilion, one of the four major restaurants in Beijing.

If you want to open a restaurant to the scale of Yunshui Pavilion in the capital, you can't just rely on good food, at least there must be some support behind it.

And Xu Yuan, as the head chef of Yunshui Pavilion, represented Yunshui Pavilion in the competition, she didn't even receive any gossip, and she, the head chef of Yunshui Pavilion, did not enjoy any preferential treatment at all, no different from ordinary retail families. Take the position in the first round as an example, even many small restaurants know that the time to grab the position is advanced, and Yunshui Pavilion should not have no news, but Xu Yuan was forced into a small corner with no one in a daze, and was almost eliminated in the first round.

In the second round, Xu Yuan's information was also blank, and even the most basic menu requirements were learned from other chefs.

There are all kinds of indications that it is either aimed at Xu Yuan, or there is a problem inside Yunshui Pavilion, and there must be someone behind it. Xu Yuan was deeply involved, and it was a small matter to lose the game, and it would be dangerous to be calculated later.

Xia Shang has always been an outsider, and he only has good words to remind him, but what makes people worry is that Xu Yuan is too obsessed with cooking, so that he is not aware of this kind of unreasonable phenomenon, and he doesn't know if it will attract attention after the reminder.

The imperial list has been posted, and the result has become a fact, Xu Yuan is destined to miss the dynasty.

Everything is good and bad, although she can't enter the third round, Xu Yuan doesn't have to worry about the election of the big court banquet anymore. What's even more coincidental is that in order to let Xu Yuan devote himself to the banquet of the Great Dynasty, Yunshui Pavilion specially invited other chefs from other places to lead Xu Yuan's class, so Xu Yuan didn't have to work before the New Year, and he could easily play for a while.

It just so happened that after noon, Xia Shang didn't have to be busy, he took Li Luo and Xu Yuan, and the three of them traveled to Yong'an Canal together.

There are a large number of vendors gathered around Yong'an Canal, and it is also the gathering point of Hualou Restaurant, which is the most suitable place to play in Chang'an City. After the heavy snowfall, the willow branches on both sides of the coast are decorated with a little emerald green, coupled with the joyful and festive atmosphere in the crowd, the whole Yong'an Canal presents a scene of recovery. There are countless boats and boats in the canal, which makes the old man who is accustomed to fishing by the river hate, and from time to time there is a shouting and scolding, but it is soon covered by the laughter of the tourists in the river.

Yong'an Canal is crowded with tourists, most of whom are young men and women. Young men and women gather to recite poems and write on dance and writing, and before they are coquettish, they naturally have to collect delicious food that they can't afford to see on weekdays.

When it comes to food, there are a lot of delicacies in Yong'an Canal today.

It is also a tradition in the past, whenever there is a Spring Festival banquet for the Great Dynasty, starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year, a number of stall delicacies will emerge in the densely populated streets of Chang'an City, all of which are kitchen decorations that have been eliminated like Xu Yuan. All they do are the dishes selected for the emperor to eat at the court banquet, although not every dish can pass the test, but as long as it is a dish that can enter the palace, it is somewhat stained with imperial spirit. In the eyes of the people, it is the best, especially for young men and women to show their identity.

Therefore, the price of food during this period soared, and every household was ready to make a big profit by taking advantage of the popularity of the court banquet.

Young men and women are the main consumer groups, and Yong'an Canal, which has the most young ladies and young children, has naturally become the most lively place.

Xia Shang walked on the bank of Yong'an Canal with his two daughters, and after walking for less than half an hour, he had already seen no less than three familiar faces, all of whom were cooks who had entered the pear orchard together yesterday, but they didn't seem to finish the dishes and left. And no one knows these details, just a few dishes shouted that they were dishes that had participated in the second round of the Great Dynasty Banquet, and the price was as little as ten taels and as many as one hundred taels, and good eaters flocked to it.

This made Xia Shang drool, thinking that he might as well sell a few dishes to these guys in a month, and he couldn't wait to set up a stall and take the opportunity to make a profit.

Chang'an City is full of thriving scenes, the people are happy and happy, and the appearance of the prosperous era is unobstructed.

And just when everyone in Chang'an City was silent and happy, a green light suddenly rose in the distant mountains outside Chang'an City. The green light flashed like lightning, rushing into the clouds to find a piece of green cloud, everyone in Chang'an City felt it, but when everyone looked up, everything returned to calm.
