Chapter 243: Draw
In the palace, the emperor was in a good mood today, and he pulled King Hong to drink until the time he was drunk, and he was drunk and chattered on the table. At this time, looking at the emperor, he quickly thought about something in his heart, and after half a ring, he stood up slowly, "Gonggong Li, Gonggong Li, the emperor is drunk, and he is going to Lan Zhaohua's dormitory." Hurry up and help. β
Father-in-law Li was guarding the door, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly trotted in. Seeing that King Hong had already helped the emperor up, he walked quickly to the other side, "Your Royal Highness King Hong, the hour is not early, why don't you go back and rest early, and the old slave will come to serve the emperor." King Hong waved his hand, and stubbornly refused to leave until he sent the emperor to Yonghe Palace. Gonggong Li couldn't make sense, so he could only follow him. After some tossing, the emperor finally arrived at Yonghe Palace. After Lan Tingyu went to the vicinity of the emperor, Gonggong Li hurriedly asked someone to send King Hong back to the dormitory.
It was so late, the palace door had been locked, and Gonggong Li arranged King Hong in the bedroom before him and waited for King Hong to leave. Gonggong Li stayed outside the dormitory, in the dormitory, the emperor was drunk, lying on the bed and not honest, Lan Tingyu was ready to change his clothes and then took him to bathe, and tried several times and did not untie his clothes.
"Your Majesty, you are obedient, wait until you change your clothes, and you will be comfortable after bathing." Lan listened to the rain and coaxed softly, like a child. The people who had been making a lot of noise just now suddenly fell silent. Lan Tingyu couldn't cry or laugh when he saw this, and called the maid to serve the emperor with him, and then changed his clothes and helped the person to the bed, the emperor lay on the bed, I don't know what he dreamed of, and shouted softly, Xue'er......
Lan Tingyu sat aside, at first she thought she had heard it wrong, but when she stepped forward and heard the emperor shouting the name again, there was an indescribable strangeness in her heart, sour and numb, and a trace of indescribable loss, Xue'er, is this person the emperor's sweetheart? Is she in the palace? The emperor even thought that she must like her very much when he was drunk, but if he thought about it carefully, except for Concubine Zheng Guifei in the entire harem, the emperor seemed to treat every concubine equally, lukewarm.
But Zheng Guifei's maiden name does not have the word snow. In this way, it seems that this Xue'er should not be a concubine in the harem. Then who is she, the emperor is the ninety-five, the whole world is his, is there anyone he can't ask for? Lan Tingyu was originally quite happy because the emperor came over, but she couldn't be happy because of this Xue'er's sudden intrusion. Xue'er, who is she, and does she like the emperor too?
That night, Lan Tingyu almost didn't sleep all night, and she couldn't think of who Xue'er was when she tossed and turned. didn't dare to take the initiative to ask the emperor, until the emperor left, the whole person was still in a dizzy state, as if it was not the emperor who was drunk, but her.
The competition was set at the same time, and when the hour came, the two families appeared in the ring at the same time. Huangfu Xue came over with An Mingchen, glanced at Bai Yuyan, and walked to the prepared stool and sat down. Bai Yuyan's position was opposite them, and the competition began after the owners of the two restaurants arrived. The chefs on both sides took out the ingredients, and after all the preparations were done, Huangfu Xue glanced at the ingredients in the ring, and a bad thought flashed in her heart.
"Xianggong, am I dazzled or what's wrong, take a closer look, whether the dishes to be made in Huixiang Restaurant are exactly the same as ours." Huangfu Xue has always been calm and calm, and rarely is so calm as she is now. An Mingchen followed her gaze for a moment and then changed his face, "You read that right, the ingredients taken out by the two families are indeed exactly the same." β
It's too perfunctory to say that such a small chance thing can happen, but if it wasn't a coincidence, who would it be? Huang Fuxue thought of Huang Fuyue almost immediately, only Huang Fuyue has been wandering in the restaurant for the past few days, and appeared in the restaurant in a more strange name, and now that such a thing has happened except her, she really can't think of anyone else who has such ability.
"Huang Fu Yue, it's Huang Fu Yue again, I really don't know what she's thinking, do you have to destroy the restaurant to be willing for her?" Although Huang Fuxue was angry, she also knew that now was not the time to settle accounts, so she could only expect that the other party would just have the same ingredients as them, as for the final taste......
The onlookers also noticed something unusual, and they all got together and whispered, "I heard that the two restaurants only conducted written exams because of the dishes, why are the dishes in today's competition the same, what is going on, is it true that someone stole the recipes of the other party?" β
"Naturally, it's true, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence. I just don't know who is telling the truth and who is false. You see, Miss Huangfu's face has changed, and it seems that she has just learned about this matter, but the owner of Huixiang Restaurant has only come to the capital not long ago, and he has not thought about what will happen if he fails so much? β
"Wealth is in danger. It's because people have just arrived, so they are newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers. Several people laughed as they spoke. Huang Fuxue didn't hear it, and continued to stare at the competition on the stage, half an hour later, the competition ended, and the chefs of the two sides put the dishes on the judges' table, exactly the same mapo tofu, the judges also saw such a situation for the first time, and after being slightly stunned, they hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
Originally, I thought that the two families just tacitly chose the same dish, but after the tasting, the judges realized how naΓ―ve they were, where is the only dish the same, this is obviously exactly the same, not only looks the same, but even the taste is the same, this ...... That's a coincidence, isn't it?
However, it's one thing to know in my heart, it's another thing to do it, today is just a competition between two restaurants, and they are just the judges who were invited, in order not to offend them, the two judges directly gave a draw result. When Huangfu Xue heard this, she stood up rubbingly, how could this be possible, the mapo tofu in their restaurant has always been the signature of the restaurant, and no other restaurant can make it exactly the same. Don't......
Thinking of something, Huang Fuxue went to the ring with an unkind face, and then took the chopsticks and tasted the dishes of the two families, and after a while, his face became more and more ugly, "Bai Gongzi is really capable, I don't know how Bai Gongzi used to get the secret recipe of mapo tofu this time." β
"Second Miss, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that Ben Gongzi used improper means to get the recipe for this dish, can't it be that our restaurant made it itself? Also, no one has said that the first person to launch this dish must be the first to make the dish, and it may be that you brazenly stole our results, and my son didn't say anything, but the second lady came to beat a rake. β
"Who's right and who's wrong, everybody is watching. Bai Gongzi must reverse black and white, and I can't help it, but I don't accept this game. Huangfu Xue glared at him, and when he turned to leave, Bai Yuyan spoke again, "You can't let the second miss have the upper hand every time." Although I am a man, I should be generous and gentlemanly in front of women, but the second lady framed my son three or four times, and even let your husband secretly do it, is it too much? β
Bai Yuyan said and rolled up his sleeves and showed the bruises on his arms in front of everyone's eyes, and the onlookers saw this, and began to sympathize with Bai Yuyan, no matter what Bai Yuyan was doing in his heart and in private, but that harmless little white face deceived many ignorant little girls, and now he showed a pitiful, victim's face, and everyone aimed all the spearheads at Huangfu Xue for a while. Huangfu Xue was only angry, she didn't notice these abnormalities at all, and when she opened her mouth to speak again, An Mingchen stepped forward and grabbed her, "Lady, don't be impulsive, no matter what you want to do, let's get out of here first." β
"Why did you want to leave, it's obviously a trick behind his back, I haven't said anything, why do you want to leave first." Huangfu Xue opened An Mingchen, took two steps forward, and without waiting for her to speak, Bai Yusang said again, "Originally, I wanted to save face for the second miss, but since the second miss has to force this son, then the son can only be polite." β
Bai Yuyan gave Sanqi a look, and after a while, Sanqi dragged a man over, Huangfu Xue turned his head to look, and his face changed again and again after seeing that this person was the cook of their restaurant. Before, she didn't believe that there were thieves in the shop, she always felt that they had been together for a long time, and she already knew who everyone was, but when things were in front of her and she had to believe it, she still didn't want to believe the person in the back kitchen, until she saw him......
"Your name is Cheng Dong, right, the chef of Huangfu Restaurant. Why did you sneak into the back kitchen of our restaurant last night? Sanqi began to interrogate Cheng Dong in front of the big guy, Cheng Dong didn't dare to look at Huangfu Xue, Sanqi saw this, and lost patience after a while, "If you don't say it again, don't blame me for being polite." I heard that your son is only three years old this year, and you said that if he loses his father at such a young age, what will your family do in the future. β
"No, please, don't do this to me. I...... I ......" Cheng Dong glanced at Huangfu Xue embarrassedly, knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said while crying, "I ...... I went back to Xiang Restaurant to steal the recipe, the second lady said, we don't have to win this competition, but we must let everyone know that our restaurant is a victim, even if we can't do this, we have to pull back to Xiang Restaurant. β
"You talk nonsense, when did I let you do that. Cheng Dong, you have been in the restaurant for two years, and I asked myself if it was not bad for you, why did you do this. Do you know what kind of impact you have on our restaurant after you do this? "Huang Fuxue is not too sad, more disappointed, do you believe in a person very much, thinking that she is your comrade-in-arms who fights side by side, no matter what happens, he will not abandon you, but when the long-distance running just started, he turned his head and whispered, that kind of loss, that kind of sadness, there is no way to express it in words.
"Second Miss, I'm sorry, I've done my best. In the future, I can't help the second lady anymore, and please let the second miss go for the sake of my hard work over the years. β
