"Since the emperor personally demoted me to a commoner, then he should treat me as a common man, I am still a common man of Chen State, and I do what the common people of Chen State can do, there should be no difference, right?"

Her smile betrayed her thoughts, how smart Xu Linfeng was, how could he not know this.

It's just that Chen Youyi didn't explain it directly, so there is no need for him to say it, "Then why are you looking for the northern tribe?" Could it be that they have anything to do with you entering the palace? ”

"There are some relationships, but they are not completely directly related, because I know that the emperor is planning to prepare a dinner party in order to entertain these officials from the northern tribes, and to prepare a special dinner party to show the national strength of Chen Guo, so that these people from the northern tribes can do their own things in peace and quiet, and less to provoke Chen Guo, what I said should be right?"

"That's right." Xu Linfeng nodded.

Chen Youyi continued, "This time, my dishes are not distinctive in the eyes of the examiners, and they are not easy to accept, after all, there are not many people who can directly accept chili dishes at the beginning. ”

Xu Linfeng recognized this, because she had also eaten chili vegetables before, and at first she even felt that this kind of chili vegetables were poisonous, and the spicy pain was really unforgettable, but now Xu Linfeng has become accustomed to this spicy pain, but he likes this feeling, if he doesn't eat it for a while, he will be hungry, and he has to eat some, which can also be addictive.

"Indeed, it was not much to accept at first!"

"So, the first level can be regarded as barely passing, but the second and third levels are very competitive, and the second is that I don't have so much relationship in Chaozhou, and I may not be able to go if I want to, so I want to go directly to those people from the northern tribes, if they say they like my chili dishes, and they want to eat chili dishes by name, then the emperor will have to let me enter the palace!"

Xu Linfeng didn't expect this himself, and he was quite admiring that Chen Youyi had such an idea, "It's a good way, but one thing you said is wrong, it's not that you don't matter, but your relationship is too hard." ”

Chen Youyi just smiled at this, didn't say anything, and turned to the topic, "So Lord Xu, tell me, where are most of the people from the tribes who have come to the capital recently, and which ones are the most authoritative?" Which people are suitable for the officials above can have direct contact. ”

"You mean to say that you want to find a relationship on the tribe's side, and then let the people in the tribe promote your dishes, take their stomachs first, and then win this game?"

Chen Youyi clapped her hands, "Sure enough, it's a smart person, before I say it, you already understand what I mean, it's amazing." ”

Although Xu Linfeng felt that this matter was a bit risky, he didn't know why Chen Youyi did this, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to contact the people in the palace and the affairs in the palace, and this was completely different from Chen Youyi's thoughts and practices before.

"Can you tell me why you want to enter the palace?" The originally relaxed atmosphere was a little embarrassed when Xu Linfeng asked like this.

Chen Youyi's brain was flexible, and after thinking about it, she had an excuse, and said with a smile, "How can there be the kind of thing you said, I didn't think about entering the palace, I just relied on this cooking competition, I want to promote my chili dishes, you know, my chili dishes have developed quite well in Wangjianglou, and they have been accepted by the people, but not in the capital, I just opened a tavern in the capital, and the business here is okay, but compared to the real restaurant, it is far worse, I want to take advantage of this competition, Just turn my tavern into a truly well-known restaurant at home and abroad! ”

"Actually, it's easy for you to achieve this goal, as long as you announce your identity as the eldest princess of Chen Guoyan."

Xu Linfeng has been going back and forth on her identity, so Chen Youyi is a little unhappy, she is not so important to fame and fortune, of course, interests still have to be valued, but about her identity, Chen Youyi is really not interested at all, she also knows that if she really wants to return to the palace and regain her identity as the eldest princess of Chen Guoyan, you will definitely pay a certain price for this matter.

However, Chen Youyi is reluctant to refute Xu Linfeng here, who let him come here to find someone to help, "I still like to speak with strength, I actually have such ability, why rely on those, when the time comes, if my dishes are not done well, it will not be convincing, but will be ridiculed by others." ”

She tried her best to get to the point, "Do you have any contact with the officials of those tribes?" Or if you know someone, just introduce them to me, and I'll treat them to a few meals, and nothing else. ”

Xu Linfeng took a deep breath, turned his eyes to the outside as if he was thinking about something, and then said, "I know a few officials who just came from the tribe, this official, who is also a messenger, has come to Chen Guo a few times, I have some friendship with him, this person knows a lot about the culture of Chen Guo, and is also very interested in the culture here, if you can catch this person's stomach, then if you want to catch the stomach of the tribesmen, it will be easy." ”

As soon as she heard this, Chen Youyi immediately stood up, clasped her hands, and hurriedly said, "Lord Xu, please ask for your help, you must let me meet this person!" ”

This matter is not a big deal, Xu Linfeng thought about it, and agreed, "Otherwise, if you introduce it directly, I'm afraid that this person will have some thoughts when he turns back, this person is relatively high-minded, and he is unwilling to participate in these relationships, I will take him to the street at noon tomorrow for a walk, and then go to your restaurant to taste the dishes you cook, and then you don't know me, just make the best dishes and bring them up." ”

"As for whether you can catch his stomach or not, it depends on your ability, as you just said, you have to rely on your ability to grasp the situation."

Chen Youyi clapped her hands and immediately agreed, "No problem, just do it, I'll go back now, let the people over there prepare the ingredients, and wait for you at noon tomorrow." ”

She was just about to leave, Xu Linfeng stopped again, "Tomorrow I will bring a few more people over, there may be five or six people, when the time comes, you prepare two tables, and some entourage will also follow, don't say I didn't remind you, then it will really depend on your ability, I'm just a eater, and the others don't interfere in any way." ”

"I understand!" Chen Youyi was so happy in her heart, as long as she gave herself this opportunity, she would take advantage of it, and even her mind was already thinking about what dishes to entertain these people at noon tomorrow.
