In the next few days, Xia Shang was in the stage of retreat, and all the affairs of the outside world were handled by Li Luo. Occasionally, Xia Shang will tell Xia Shang about the progress of some West Market stores.

The store in the West Market received the deed on the same day, and the next day a few sons and brothers drove the people from the casino away, and the jade pendant of the eldest grandson Wen returned to his body, of course, he didn't want to come back, but bought another one from a certain store. The reason why Xia Shang hid was that he felt that it was a bit shameless to be in the company of these sons, and it was better for them to complete such disgraceful things. As a result, after these sons got the deed, they left the store aside, and they didn't know where to play. It is really easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.

Xia Shang didn't pay attention to anything else, and studied the proportions of the dishes in detail every day and wrote out the production process.

Xia Shang is very hard, and the Fang brothers are even harder, not only to preside over and supervise the daily business, but also to learn the dishes carefully studied by Xia Shang, step by step according to the text description, the ingredients must be weighed in the pot, the ingredients must be weighed, and the fried food must be re-learned. They're the hardest working people in recent days.

After five days, Xia Shang's improvement plan and the production specifications of the dishes finally began to take shape, first in the old store trial operation, it just so happened that there are other stores in Chang'an recently appeared similar mutton soup, the price is slightly lower than the delicious Youdao, this change is also considered to inject new blood into their own home, and re-lead in the industry.

Although five days have passed, Chang'an still takes the opportunity to be in the excitement of the Spring Festival, and there is no difference between the seventh and second days of the new year. Ancient and modern times are the same, during the solar term, each family will live better than in the past, the poor family will eat a meal of meat, the average family will sit on a few good dishes that are reluctant to sit on weekdays, and the better family will call relatives and friends to eat a good meal in this Chang'an restaurant.

Therefore, there are many stories about food these days, the splendid mountains and rivers where food is the sky, and the potato noodles that are popular are all good dishes that are sought after, and of course the price is also expensive.

Recently, more and more things selected by the Great Dynasty Banquet have been seen by people, especially the many dishes that have entered the third round, which have become valuable commodities, just in the past few days, Cao Fu, who has won the first place in the Great Dynasty Banquet one after another, has earned no less than 10,000 taels of silver just with a dish of roasted matsutake mushrooms. It is said that if the matsutake mushroom was gone, it would have made more money.

At this time full of topics, Yunshui Pavilion, which is also one of the four major restaurants, is very quiet, operating calmly every day, although there are customers, it is not as lively as the other three, plus another big restaurant that is about to open in the capital - "mortal" restaurant, some people even predict that the mortal restaurant will replace Yunshui Pavilion as one of the new four major restaurants.

Public opinion is very unfavorable to Yunshui Pavilion, and Yunshui Pavilion's performance in the Great Dynasty Banquet Selection is not satisfactory, only won the fiftieth place in the first round, and even the dishes were not selected in the second round, and Xu Yuan has no room for explanation with such public opinion.

After Xu Yuan found out that the situation was serious, she felt a little guilty and prepared to go back to Yunshui Pavilion to start cooking again.

Back at Yunshui Pavilion, the guys outside the store looked at Xu Yuan's expression a little strangely, and they were also unnatural when they greeted her.

Xu Yuan was a little puzzled, didn't think much about it, and went straight to the kitchen.

But when she returned to the kitchen of Yunshui Pavilion, she found that there were no people in the kitchen, none of the former buddies were gone, and there were all unfamiliar faces and a strange chef inside.

Xu Yuan has been working in the kitchen of Yunshui Pavilion for ten years, and her feelings are extraordinary, seeing this situation, she suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and when she recalled the eyes of the guy before entering the door, her face instantly became gloomy: "Who are you?!" ”

Xu Yuan asked the chef, she knew that in order to prepare for the court banquet recently, Yunshui Pavilion invited the chef from elsewhere to take care of the business, but she didn't know that everyone in the kitchen had changed, and all the people who used to work with her were gone.

The other party is a middle-aged strong man with a beard, dark skin, and sloppy clothes, it is hard to imagine that such a person can be qualified for the position of head chef. The other party grinned at Xu Yuan, revealing a row of black teeth: ", right?" A certain name is Wang Ting. ”

"Wang Ting?"

The name seems familiar......

Xu Yuan pondered, she concluded that she had heard of the name. Because it's really familiar......

Suddenly, a person flashed in Xu Yuan's mind!

"I saw you in the second round of the Great Dynasty Banquet!"

Wang Ting grinned, undeniable.

Xu Yuan's expression became even more solemn: "You are the third person in the second round to be appointed by His Majesty to enter the third round." ”

"have a good memory, it's just a fluke."

Xu Yuan smiled, a little self-deprecating: "It seems that Yunshui Pavilion is not just looking for it!" ”

"don't be angry, this is also understandable. Yunshui Pavilion failed to achieve a good ranking in the Great Dynasty Banquet Selection, and the spearheads from all over the outside world pointed at Yunshui Pavilion, and it was reasonable for the store to make changes, so ......"

"I see." Xu Yuan interrupted Wang Ting's words, did not enter the kitchen again, and turned to leave.

It was already obvious that Yunshui Pavilion had found a new chef, and there was no longer a need for himself here. Although she was a little disappointed, Xu Yuan did not feel hopeless, leaving Yunshui Pavilion was more logical to enter the delicious and delicious way, and it was far more comfortable to be with the little master than here, and what she was reluctant to give up was just the emotion of being with this land for many years.

The so-called old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, Xu Yuan didn't think much about it, let alone think that Yunshui Pavilion wanted to return his own remuneration, and how to leave if he came in.

I thought that from the moment I stepped out of the gate of Yunshui Pavilion, my future life would be delicious, but I didn't expect a familiar person to come to the door of Yunshui Pavilion.

At the door of Yunshui Pavilion, an old woman with a young girl looked at Xu Yuan in a daze, the tears that flashed in the old woman's eyes were visible, and her wrinkled face was indescribably emotional.

It was a moment when Xu Yuan froze.

"Mother?!"

……

The next day, news came out from Yunshui Pavilion that the new chef who had entered the third round of the Great Dynasty Banquet officially joined Yunshui Pavilion and replaced Xu Yuan as the head chef of Yunshui Pavilion.

This news also caused a lot of discussion, some people thought it was expected, some people regretted to invite the water tarpon, and more people were curious, rushing to Yunshui Pavilion to try the skills of the new chef.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ting relied on his strength to change the decline of Yunshui Pavilion in recent days, and instantly pushed the topic of Yunshui Pavilion to the highest peak.

Xia Shang naturally learned the news, but after hearing it, he was overjoyed, and felt that Xu Yuan could rightfully join his camp this time.

As soon as possible, Xia Shang took the top to look for Xu Yuan, but Yunshui Pavilion did not find it, but after several inquiries, he knew that Xu Yuan was now living in the opinion inn on the other side of Yunshui Pavilion.

Xia Shang was even more happy, Xu Yuan had nowhere to go now, and he would not be rejected if he took her in.

found Xu Yuan in a hurry, and also met Xu Yuan's mother-in-law, Bian's family, and Xu Yuan's little niece - Xu Hui.
