"Ha, you're asking the right person, I'm the owner of the Jonway Medicinal Restaurant. Why don't you wait for me to buy this mung bean, and let's go to the medicinal restaurant to talk about it in detail. ”

Su Jiudong didn't understand why the other restaurants were reluctant to show the way for this Fang family, but he didn't show this doubt, bought a sufficient amount of mung beans, and led the Fang family back to the medicinal restaurant.

When he came to the Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant, the servant of the Fang family wanted Su Jiudong to explain his intention.

Mrs. Fang, the old mother of Lord Yincao Fang, Lin'an Mansion, Hangzhou, is going to celebrate her sixty-fifth birthday, and Mrs. Fang asked to do it as much as Mrs. Fang's sixtieth birthday before, Mrs. Fang heard about Su Jiudong's reputation and decided to invite Su Jiudong to come to the house to serve Mrs. Fang's birthday banquet.

"It's a birthday banquet again...... Su Jiudong lowered his head in embarrassment and thought silently for a while.

Because when Mrs. Li of the Li Mansion served food for the family banquet on the Winter Solstice Festival before, a series of things happened that Mrs. Li used the name of medicinal food to deliberately make Cheng Qiutong eat bad stomach, and then caused a series of things, so Su Jiudong was apprehensive about the invitation to serve the family banquet.

"What's wrong? Doctor Su, it was when our lady heard your name outside that she wanted to ask you for dinner. Looking at your appearance, is there anything inconvenient about you lately? ”

The servant who came to deliver the message was very good at observing words and feelings, and he could see at a glance Su Jiudong's hesitation and reluctance to hide.

"Thank you for your trust and love on my behalf, but our Medicinal Diet Pavilion has been busy with a lot of things recently, and we have to wait for me to check the recent arrangements before we can decide whether to arrange the catering in your mansion, and someone will be sent to your mansion to inform you at that time." I beg you to tell you about it for me. ”

Su Jiudong didn't have the best decision yet, and wanted to wait for Wen Yiheng to come back in the evening and ask him for his advice, so he didn't give a clear answer to anyone, and only asked the Fang family servant who sent the message to go back first and wait for the news.

In the middle of the moon, Wen Yiheng, who had been busy all day, returned home from Qincha to eat. After the whole family had dinner, Su Jiudong mentioned to Wen Yiheng that the Fang family invited her to serve dinner during the day.

"I haven't replied to them if they want to pick up the meal, I was going to ask if you have any suggestions. What do you mean? ”

Su Jiudong handed Wen Yiheng a warm handkerchief to wipe his hands, and seeing that Wen Yiheng was slow and hadn't taken it yet, he couldn't help but wrap his hand in the handkerchief and wiped it carefully.

"Catering for Yincao Fangzhouyi's mother's sixty-five-year-old birthday banquet? Isn't that your forte? Why are you hesitant to take it? Wen Yiheng didn't care, just regarded it as an ordinary medicinal diet, and there was nothing to hesitate about.

Lord Fang Zhouyi of Yincao Fang, Lin'an Mansion, Hangzhou City, remembered that when Wen Yiheng and Fang Zhouyi came into contact before, judging from Fang Zhouyi's behavior, he was still a steady and proper person, not like there was infighting and strife in the house, so Wen Yiheng was not worried about what else would happen to the birthday banquet this time.

"I just feel a little confused. Our Jonway Medicinal Restaurant is at most famous in Qishan County, but that's the end of it, the noble lady in Hangzhou City can go and invite the famous chef in the restaurant to serve the meal, how did Mrs. Fang think of letting me go to the meal? ”

"Have you forgotten the plaque that was given by the Holy Lord? That plaque not only brought good business to the store, but also let those ladies in the city know your name. Wen Yiheng let Su Jiu wipe and rub his hands for him wantonly, and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

The Holy Imperial Gift, mentioning the praise of Su Jiudong's name, isn't it the most famous and best marketing method in the world? Some officials and their families were willing to pat the sycophants of Shengshang and Wen Yiheng, so they were also willing to invite Su Jiudong to serve dinner.

"And when I was serving the Li Mansion before, wasn't I being used by Mrs. Li? I'm worried that the same thing will happen again, and that's going to be annoying. ”

Seeing that Wen Yiheng couldn't provide any valuable advice, Su Jiudong stopped wiping for Wen Yiheng, threw down the handkerchief, turned around and leaned against the beauty couch, sat down on it, and spoke in a lazy tone.

Mrs. Li used her dinner party to serve food before, so as to solve Qiu Tong, but it also brought a little slander and blow to Su Jiudong's reputation for medicinal food.

If something goes wrong this time, I am afraid that it will affect the reputation of Yongyuan Medicinal Restaurant and Su Jiudong even more, because Su Jiudong does not want to see the same situation happen again.

"It's just an ordinary birthday banquet, and if you take it well, nothing should happen. You can't be afraid of the well rope for ten years because you were used by Mrs. Li before, right? ”

Wen Yiheng shrugged with a smile, and said lightly: "Besides, where are there so many things in the inner house, and you have to be used every time?" ”

"It's also... I can't be so unlucky, I will encounter something like the Li Mansion every time, right? ......" Su Jiudong thought for a while, and planned to take over this matter, so he asked someone to go to the Fang Mansion of Lin'an Mansion to deliver the news the next day.

Su Jiudong agreed to take over the catering, and Mrs. Fang invited Su Jiudong to meet and negotiate with the Fang Mansion, and informed Su Jiudong of some procedures and catering requirements on the day of the premiere.

"This mother-in-law's birthday banquet, my lord said that it would be held like the sixtieth birthday, so the concubine thought about asking Dr. Su to help with the meal, and it was really annoying to Dr. Su." Yunxuan Pavilion

"Many relatives would come to the house that morning to congratulate my mother-in-law on her birthday, so I had to prepare lunch and dinner well. My mother-in-law believes in Buddhism, so she will arrange for a group to eat some simple and simple light dishes at lunchtime. ”

Mrs. Fang took out the menu of lunch dishes that Mrs. Fang preferred, most of them were light and vegetarian dishes common in the temple, and there was no meat at all, which Mrs. Fang asked the abbot in the temple to serve the meal.

Take it out for Su Jiudong to see, so that Su Jiudong can know what everyone had for lunch, and try to arrange delicious and not the same meal for dinner.

"The lunch arranged by the mother-in-law this time is simple and simple, and the concubine is worried that the guests will not be able to eat enough at noon, so she thinks that when you come to serve the dinner, you can be more sumptuous and make the guests satisfied. At that time, the mother-in-law and the guests will be satisfied. The dinner was a success. ”

People live for seventy years. Old Madam Fang is now preparing to turn sixty-five years old, and Lord Fang attaches great importance to this and requires that it must be done in a big way, so Mrs. Fang also wants to strive for the best.

"It's not difficult, the little girl can configure a hearty and filling dish for the main course, with light and greasy snacks and side dishes, so that the guests can eat full, but also will not eat too full."

"Well... Today, the saint praised Dr. Su's medical skills, and the concubine also has confidence and is willing to believe in your meal. After all, your Jonway Medicinal Restaurant is the most famous medicinal restaurant in the entire city of Hangzhou. ”

This time, the catering of the Fang Mansion was quite smooth, Su Jiudong did not notice anything abnormal in it, and Mrs. Fang did not put forward some special requirements like Mrs. Li, that is, she simply did it in a high-priced way, paying equal attention to delicacies from the mountains and seas and healing and recuperation.

Su Jiudong discussed and decided on the dishes for the birthday banquet with Mrs. Fang on the spot, and carefully and meticulously arranged the dishes that were suitable for the time.

Until the day of Old Madam Fang's pressure, things were smooth and peaceful.

However, on the night of the birthday banquet, the dinner party still went wrong.

Just like the last time Su Jiudong was invited to Li's mansion by Mrs. Li overnight, Su Jiudong was also summoned overnight. However, he was not summoned to Fangfu, but was directly summoned to the Hangzhou County Yanei.

"Su Jiudong, you served the birthday banquet in the Fang Mansion, and someone ate your meal and was poisoned to death, are you guilty?"

Lord Yan sat upright on the high hall, and was not surprised by Su Jiudong, a "frequent visitor" of the court.

Su Jiudong failed to stand as well as he had confronted Mrs. Wei Lin this time, but was pressed to his knees by the servants. In Su Jiudong's shock, Lord Yan told what had happened at Old Madam Fang's sixty-fifth birthday dinner.

Mrs. Fang's maiden relative, Xu Ruomei, the cousin of Lord Yincao Fang, suddenly had a severe pain in her stomach after eating the dinner. After inviting a doctor to take anesthesia and analgesics, he still had unbearable abdominal pain, and finally passed away that night.

There was a dinner party meal to eat the dead, and it was also a family member of Lord Yincao, which quickly attracted the attention of the officials of Lin'an Mansion, so Su Jiudong, who was in charge of the dinner meal, was summoned to the county government for interrogation.

Su Jiudong, who was suddenly summoned, had no idea about this matter, and his face was full of doubts and helplessness.

"Lord Yan, it's not that the little girl refuses to admit her guilt, but that the little girl is not guilty at all. The little girl is only responsible for the dishes of the birthday banquet, and the specific cooking process and the purchase of food raw materials are all the responsibility of the people in the Fang Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the little girl, so the little girl cannot admit her guilt. ”

Although Su Jiudong's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and his words were reasonable, he still couldn't escape the fate of being imprisoned, and was imprisoned in the Yamen prison according to the procedure, and locked up in the next cell of several Fangfu cooks who were in charge of cooking.

Lord Yan ordered Su Jiudong to be detained in accordance with the regulations, and did not open up to Su Jiudong and let her go because he was afraid of the relationship between Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong.

Just as Su Jiudong was imprisoned, Wen Yiheng ran around for Su Jiudong, went to investigate the ins and outs of the matter, and tried to collect suspicious evidence, Mrs. Fang appeared in the dungeon, and even sent the jailers away with silver, and finally talked to Su Jiudong in a small room.

"Doctor Su, it's the concubine who has caused you." As soon as they met, before Su Jiudong sat down, Mrs. Fang took the lead in sincerely apologizing to Su Jiudong.

"Mrs. Fang? Why is that? Su Jiudong was full of doubts and dissatisfaction, just like what I said before, this time Mrs. Fang's birthday banquet was catered, and Su Jiudong, who was on his back, was still used by others.

"The concubine didn't mean to target you, but she really had to do it." Mrs. Fang, with tears in her eyes, told Su Jiudong a story.

"It all started two years ago. Two years ago, my mother-in-law took Xu Ruomei, a distant relative who was widowed in Shandong, to our house for temporary residence......" Mrs. Fang fell into her memories and told Su Jiudong eloquently.
