Chapter 43: Pouring into the capital

The bed in the post station was very hard, Qin Yingyue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply put on a coat and got up to go shopping. Who knew that he would meet his eldest brother Qin Shuoyue, who was also not asleep.

"What to do...... What should I do......" Qin Shuoyue muttered quietly, pacing back and forth. Qin Yingyue yawned and asked, "Big brother!" How long do we have to get to the capital? ”

The man in a cyan robe suddenly stopped and replied pretending to be calm: "Tomorrow." ”

The two brothers of the Qin family are the operators and chefs of the famous restaurant Yuelou in Huaizhou, and they went to Beijing this time to participate in the upcoming cooking competition.

"Hurry back to the house and go to bed."

After that, Qin Shuoyue grabbed his younger brother Qin Yingyue's shoulders and pushed him in.

"Yes...... But I'm not sleepy! ”

Qin Shuoyue let go of her hand, left Qin Yingyue and went back to the post station by herself.

"Big brother?" No matter how Qin Yingyue shouted, there was no reaction on the other end, and the figure disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Qin Yingyue was stunned, scratched her head and said, "Big brother won't ...... Let's get nervous again......"

The preliminary round of the cooking competition is about to begin. If they can only arrive in the capital tomorrow, they will only have three days to prepare. Thinking of this, Qin Yingyue herself became nervous and paced back and forth.

Yuelou is also a century-old store, and it is famous in Huaizhou. However, with the increasing number of new restaurants, Yuelou faced a huge challenge. The external worries have not been solved, and internal troubles have appeared.

The current head of the family, Qin Shuoyue, is young and has no authority to speak in the Yuelou. The rest of the Qin family relied on their status as relatives to point fingers at Yuelou's operation.

In desperation, Qin Shuoyue and his second brother Qin Yingyue went to Beijing to try to prove themselves in the cooking competition, leaving the third sister Qin Huiyue to garrison the base camp.

When the morning dawned, the two of them entered Beijing and stayed in the inn booked in advance, only to find that the goal they had set might be difficult to achieve.

Restaurants from all over the country gathered in the capital, and many famous restaurants from other places could be seen along the way, which made the inexperienced brothers fearful.

When she came to the inn and returned to the guest room with her luggage, Qin Yingyue pulled the hem of her brother's clothes beside her and pointed in one direction. Qin Shuoyue looked curiously and saw two men with similar appearances, with a half-open flag on the table, on which were written the words wind and wine.

"Shop!"

One of them slammed the table and grabbed a jar of wine from it.

"You're the best wine in the store?"

The shopkeeper walked over, took the wine jar and sniffed it, "That's right, it's indeed the best wine in our inn." ”

"The taste of this wine is too bad!"

The wine in his inn was so disgusted, the shopkeeper blushed and said angrily: "This little brother! The wine in our inn is also one of the best in the capital! ”

"Hahaha! This wine is not as good as mine! ”

The man laughed as he took out a small jar of wine from the package, and when the lid was lifted, the aroma of wine overflowed. The innkeeper only smelled the aroma of wine, and he was ashamed.

When Qin Yingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh: "Aren't those two two-star brothers of the Chopping Wind Restaurant?" ”

Qin Shuoyue looked at her younger brother suspiciously, "Where did you know?" ”

"I heard about it on the way. It's a famous restaurant in Suizhou, but unlike us, they are better at making wine than cooking. Famous dishes are also related to alcohol. ”

"Which way did you know that?"

"Mr. Storyteller."

What the Qin brothers didn't notice was that in the corner not far from them, a woman dressed plainly dressed was standing there, clutching a thin wooden board with two pieces of paper on it. In her right hand, she holds a pen made of feathers, and a half-palm-sized ink sac hangs from her waist.

This is the person who was released by Mingkelou to collect the early information of the cooking competition, and there is more than one like her.

During the day, I collected the information of these restaurants in various inns to participate in the competition, and at night, I collected the information to Mr. Lao for sorting.

In order to collect information more conveniently, Li Jiangwei specially made a quill for them.

At this time, Li Jiangwei found a reason to visit the Qin Palace. As soon as she thought that she would be able to see Yu Yongyi in a while, a smile hung on Li Jiangwei's face, and suddenly her steps paused, looked around vigilantly, and patted her cheeks with both hands.

"Thankfully, no one saw it!"

Thinking of the smile that had been wearing an idiot after entering the Qin Palace, Li Jiangwei felt ashamed.

"Humph! What are you doing there? I don't know when, Yu Yongyi walked in front of him, "I said why did I wait so long." ”

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not really! You still want me to find you myself! If I didn't know that you knew the way, I would have thought that you were lost in my Qin Palace. ”

"I didn't get lost!" Li Jiangwei hurriedly explained, "I'm just! ”

"Don't just do it." Yu Yongyi grabbed her sleeve and pulled it in the direction of the study, "Do you think that everyone in my house heard our conversation?" ”

Li Jiangwei looked around and muttered in a low voice, "There is no one around." ”

"Hmph, I'm getting bolder."

"No way." Li Jiangwei broke away from Yu Yongyi's hand and held his palm in turn, "Who made you less and less like a prince." ”

Yu Yongyi, who was held by the soft and warm little hand, was stunned, and her ears were red. If you complain, you will all be suppressed. Li Jiangwei quickened her pace, walked in the front against the guest, and led Yu Yongyi into the study. The study was no different from the last time I came, and there were piles of files on the table except for the abacus.

"You're not idle here."

"Hmm. Tomorrow, I have to talk to Meng Shen about the bookstore, if he wants to open the bookstore, I won't open the Wenjin bookstore to the south. Sell him the high-quality manuscripts collected by Wenjin Bookstore, and then let him sell them himself. ”

"Are you afraid that you won't be able to keep busy?"

"Hmm." Yu Yongyi responded: "It's too far down the river, I can't take care of it." Even if the dream is not answered, I will find someone else. What about you? It's a rare trip to ask me how I'm doing? ”

Yu Yongyi smiled, which made Li Jiangwei's newly calmed mood turbulent again, and her face turned red.

"Won't I guess it? Really miss me? ”

Li Jiangwei didn't say much, and let go of Yu Yongyi's hand and hugged him directly. Such an active behavior caught Zhen Yongyi off guard, and she was stunned on the spot.

"Yes...... Li Jiangwei said in a muffled voice, "I miss you." ”

In the words, there is less joy and joy, but more sorrow. Yu Yongyi heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly pushed Li Jiangwei away, staring at Li Jiangwei worriedly. Li Jiangwei wanted to hide, but was twisted back by Yu Yongyi several times.

"Do you have something on your mind?"

"It's not a matter of mind."

"Tell me something?"

"Hmm. But...... Let me think about how to tell you. My mind is ...... right now It's a bit of a mess......"

"Do you need me to go out and walk around so you can be quiet?"

Li Jiangwei didn't speak, just grabbed Yu Yongyi's hand and didn't let go.
