"Miss, where can I put these? The storehouse is full. Lixia just came out of the warehouse and said with a sad face.

After thinking about it, Zhao Qingyan made a decision: "Let's make a bigger room and put it first." ”

Lixia nodded and immediately ordered.

——

With sufficient financial support, the restaurant prepared relatively quickly, and it didn't take long to prepare almost.

Now that the renovation of the restaurant has been done, the next step is publicity.

This is not a modern online world, and it is not easy to publicize, so Zhao Qingyan used the oldest method: posting advertisements.

For several days, Zhao Qingyan hired people to walk through the alleyway, but fortunately, no one took care of this matter at this time, and she didn't have too much trouble.

It's just that the effect of posting advertisements here is not very good, on the one hand, there are many ordinary people in the capital who don't know how to read, and on the other hand, they have never seen such a way of publicity, and they are a little distrustful.

"How's it going? Ever noticed those ads? Zhao Qingyan saw that Lixia came back from inquiring about the situation, and asked nervously.

Lixia shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said: "I observed next to the advertisement for a long time, and found that there were few people who stopped. ”

Although this was the expected answer, when he really heard about it from Lixia's mouth, Zhao Qingyan was still a little disappointed.

If advertising doesn't work, then what's the best way to do it?

"Lixia, let me ask you, where is the most crowded place in the capital?" Zhao Qingyan suddenly thought of something, grabbed Lixia's arm and asked.

Lixia thought for a moment, if there really was such a place, it should be there!

"Ning'an Temple!" Lixia blurted out, and then explained, "Usually there is an endless stream of people, and people come and go are pilgrims.

"Forget it." Zhao Qingyan immediately rejected this idea, and her private dishes focused on meat food......

"Are we going to keep looking for people to post ads?" Lixia asked tentatively.

They have posted a lot of advertisements during this time, but it has no effect at all, and this time she came to ask if she wanted to continue.

Zhao Qingyan waved his hand irritably, and replied weakly: "Don't post it first, I'll think of another way." ”

After Lixia got the answer, he didn't have time to linger longer, so he left in a hurry and went to the street to let those people stop first.

Zhao Qingyan was the only one left in the room.

Bored playing with the new batch of porcelain, Zhao Qingyan sighed unconsciously, is her desire to open a restaurant so difficult?

She was so depressed that she didn't notice that someone was already standing behind her, so when she felt something was wrong, and when she looked back, she was startled by the person who had come out of nowhere.

"Who are you?" Zhao Qingyan looked at him vigilantly, while her eyes looked around, looking for any tools she could use.

The man stood stiffly, and didn't care about Zhao Qingyan's reaction, but just explained respectfully: "The subordinate is a subordinate of Huai'en Houfu, and he came over to inform Miss Zhao on the order of the prince that Mr. Fifteen Yu will personally hold a cooking competition this month, if Miss Zhao needs it, you can pay attention to it." ”

"Mr. Yu is the head of the imperial dining room, and His Majesty's food is under the control of Mr. Yu." In the end, the man was afraid that Zhao Qingyan would not know the identity of Mr. Yu and immediately explained.

To put it simply, Mr. Yu is a celebrity around the emperor, and many people will participate in this discussion. Zhao Qingyan's eyes rolled, and he made a decision in his heart.

Zhao Qingyan thought in her heart, if it was held in the name of Mr. Yu, its authority would be clear in the eyes of the people, if she could win the championship in the competition, then she could attract a lot of guests without publicity.

"I see." Zhao Qingyan smiled and nodded, the vigilance in his eyes disappeared cleanly, but with a little gratitude, "Please help me when I go back, thank you for your family." ”

The man nodded stiffly, and left quietly as if he appeared.

Zhao Qingyan was full of joy, and even felt that the cup in his hand looked a lot better.

She was worried about how to publicize, Wen Qiao sent the opportunity to the door, if she missed this opportunity, it would be too late to regret it later.

It didn't take long to think about it, and Zhao Qingyan went straight to the registration location after the person left.

When she got there, she found that most of the competition was men, and she was the only woman standing there, which looked particularly abrupt.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Qingyan still didn't want to expose her identity as a woman, and she had heard of the matter of women pretending to be men before, otherwise she would try it this time?

Having made up her mind, she smiled happily and at the same time was a little eager to try.

Zhao Qingyan hooked his lips and smiled, happily ran back to Zhuangzi, changed into a set of men's clothes, and combed it into a man's bun.

Now, she looks like a handsome son, provided that her height is ignored.

This time she went to sign up, but no one stopped her, although the person in charge of registration looked at her figure with a strange look.

"Your name is Yanqing?" The person in charge of registering her name looked at her and asked in a strange way.

Zhao Qingyan nodded, revealing a smile that turned everyone upside down: "Under the banquet." ”

"This is your key, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, you will have to live here for the next few days." The man handed him a key, pointed to a courtyard opposite, and said, "Your house is there, go by yourself." ”

There was a hint of nonchalance in his tone, as if he had determined that Zhao Qingyan would not be able to win the first place.

Zhao Qingyan naturally heard it, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.

Sometimes it is the most useless, and when she succeeds, these people will naturally not look at her in this tone.

When she entered the courtyard, there were already a lot of people inside, and most of them were shiny, and they should have all participated.

She had always felt that she was not particularly short, and that she was very much like a man, but when she stood with them, she looked extremely petite.

"What are you here for?" An extra pair of shoes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, and a sentence fell on the top of his head.

Zhao Qingyan nodded, unwilling to communicate with him too much, and turned around to pass by him.

The man refused to let him go, looking at her and smiling disdainfully: "Little brother, as a senior, I advise you, if you know each other, it won't be too embarrassing to go back now, if you lose the game, don't cry." ”

After speaking, he laughed, and between the lines he looked down on Zhao Qingyan, ordinary people may not succeed in learning cooking for more than ten years, this yellow-haired boy is not even able to do his best.

Zhao Qingyan was angry, his eyes moved to his face little by little, and sneered: "This doesn't bother the seniors to worry, I'm still young, and my qualifications are still shallow, even if I lose, no one will laugh at me, but you, if you lose again at such an age, you must be embarrassed to get involved in this business in the future." ”

Can you bully people because you're old? Zhao Qingyan deliberately bit the two words of his predecessors heavily, which was more or less sarcastic.

"You!" The man was annoyed and angry, and looked at Zhao Qingyan angrily.

"Don't thank me too much for reminding me, I hope to see you in the final." Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly, and turned around and left after speaking, not dragging his feet at all.
