Chapter 170: Preparation
The princes and nobles didn't have to give face to the commoners, but the lord of Wanhua said that he had put Yuan Tianye's dim sum shop on the same plane as Duanwangfu, which was enough to give face. Although she knew that she had bad intentions, Shen Ziyi lived on other people's territory, and if she could not offend people, she still hoped not to offend people as much as possible. He glanced at Yuan Tianye in embarrassment, turned his head and smiled: "Thank you so much for the kindness of the county lord Wanhua, there will be a cook in the Lao Mansion at that time." β
However, he is very good at being a man, and after thanking the county lord Wanhua, he turned his head to Yuan Tianye and smiled: "Doctor Yuan, when the time comes, I will also bother Miss Lin to come here." β
Yuan Tianye was noncommittal, the expression on his face was still faint, and he turned his head to look at Lin Xiaozhu: "What do you think?" β
As soon as he asked these words, not only did the Lord of Wanhua County change color, but Yuan Zhi's face sank.
They brought the palace to Shen Ziyi to save face, and competed with Yuan Tianye's dim sum shop. This Yuan Tianye took such a thing to ask a subordinate!!
This Yuan Tianye, relying on his excellent medical skills, can cure a little disease, so he doesn't know the height of the sky, and he doesn't take Duanwangfu in his eyes? How unreasonable!
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhi looked at Yuan Tianye's gaze with a little more disdain.
It seems that getting He Wenqing to step down for the sake of his servant girl is really not something that this guy with a clear head did intentionally. This whole is a nerd who doesn't know anything about the world.
Shen Ziyi's gaze at Lin Xiaozhu deepened. In his opinion, Yuan Tianye's question was not intended to cut the face of the palace. Just at the tone of his conversation with Lin Xiaozhu in the store, he really asked whether Lin Xiaozhu was happy or not. If he is not happy, there is a good chance that he will turn his head and reject himself.
Who is this Lin Xiaozhu?
Lin Xiaozhu knew that Yuan Tianye really didn't take the brother and sister of Duanwangfu in his eyes. Do you want to come? He's really not going to be reluctant. But although the county lord of Wanhua hates it, Shen Ziyi's face is to be given. Most importantly. The new dim sum shop is in dire need of such a platform to make a splash. If at such a banquet, she wins the chef of Duanwangfu, then this dim sum shop, overnight, the reputation will resound throughout the upper class of Beiyan.
She smiled and gave Shen Ziyi a gentle blessing, and said, "I am willing to serve Shen Gongzi's banquet." β
Shen Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Lin Xiaozhu is quite interesting. Otherwise, it ignited the anger of the county lord of Wanhua, which is really not fun. Hysterical woman. Unreasonable!
Hearing Lin Xiaozhu's promise, Yuan Tianye didn't say anything. However, he didn't bother to stare at the Yuan brothers and sisters who were not good-looking, and glanced at Lin Xiaozhu and saw that she didn't mean to take out the rest of the snacks at all. And he stood up. said to Shen Ziyi: "Young Master Yi, there is still something to do, so I will leave first." It was as if he hadn't seen the black faces of the Yuan brothers and sisters. He also bowed his hand to them, "The prince of the world, the county lord, and Miss Qin, farewell." β
Qin Qingman ate the unusually delicious cream cake just now, and was looking forward to Lin Xiaozhu's bamboo basket and the snacks in the bucket, but seeing that the atmosphere was not good, he didn't dare to open his mouth. I had to follow Shen Ziyi to stand up and say goodbye to Yuan Tianye.
Lord Wanhua didn't seem to see it. Sit there and don't move. However, Yuan Zhi was quite a bit of the city, although he didn't stand up, he still sat there and arched his hand and smiled.
The county lord of Wanhua waited until Yuan Tianye turned a corner, and he could no longer see his figure, so he said angrily: "Hmph, this Yuan Tianye is simply lawless." β
"What's the point of being angry with a nerd? Alright, let's go too. Yuan Zhi said lightly, stood up and said goodbye.
Out of the gate of Shen Yuan, Ah Sheng carried the wooden bucket filled with ice cubes and snacks, and asked curiously: "Little bamboo girl, we still have these delicious snacks, why don't you take them out and take them out?" β
Lin Xiaozhu walked behind Yuan Tianye, smiled, and said, "Since everyone is going to compete with us, why should we leak the bottom in front of her?" As the saying goes, if you know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Since we don't know anything about the opponent's situation, of course, we can't let the other party know about us. β
Yuan Tianye listened to it in front, turned around, glanced at Lin Xiaozhu with a smile, and said, "If you don't know anything about the other party's craftsmanship, you dare to take on this challenge, your courage is not ordinary." Aren't you afraid of losing all the way and smashing the brand of our jade food that hasn't opened yet? β
Lin Xiaozhu had originally learned about the white case with Yu Jiaoxi. That day, I tasted a snack street with Yuan Tianye, and I also went out to walk around when I had free time in the past few days. For the dim sum of this era, there is a number in the heart.
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Traditional dim sum is nothing more than buns, dumplings, cakes, dough, rolls, cakes, crisps, strips, jelly, rice, and porridge. Yi Gongzi is holding a poetry meeting, and he will not make those dishes that use bowls and spoons. Then it's cakes, dumplings, rolls and other snacks. And those, such as cakes, that is, rice noodles and flour, such as red bean lard muffin cake, rose fruit honey cake, mille-feuille oil cake, bee sugar cake, etc. Cakes are nothing more than two types of water cakes and leavened breads, such as scallion oil pancakes, Huangqiao baked cakes, wine cakes, etc. Those two chefs, apart from these, probably have nothing else. It's just that their craftsmanship is better than others, they use enough materials, and they make delicious food. These dim sum, Yu Jiaoxi also taught me, it is nothing. β
When Yuan Wuniang and Ah Sheng heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Lin Xiaozhu. In their opinion, Lin Xiaozhu is so old, they have never seen anything in the world. Even if she had learned some skills, the toad yawnedβand her tone was bigger, wasn't it?
Lin Xiaozhu's ability, Yuan Tianye knows. The fresh food she had made up in the past few days alone surprised him greatly. So I didn't care about Lin Xiaozhu's words at all. After going out and getting into the car, he glanced at Lin Xiaozhu and said with a smile: "I have eaten a lot of dim sum made by the two white case cooks in Duanwangfu. β
Lin Xiaozhu was overjoyed: "That's great, I'll hear it later." "Yuan Tianye has been a mouthful since he was a child, and he is also a person who is good at tasting food, and he has a good memory. It must be said that it is not bad.
Yuan Tianye glanced at her: "Didn't you say that you had a count in your heart?" What else to say? β
"Hey, hey." Lin Xiaozhu sneered, "We must not only despise the enemy psychologically, but also attach importance to the enemy strategically. β
When Yuan Tianye heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at Lin Xiaozhu tightly, as if he had never seen her.
"Childe, don't look at people like that, it's weird." Lin Xiaozhu looked scared. She talks and does things out of the ordinary in a lot of places, but she is not afraid at all.
"Hmph." Yuan Tianye snorted in his nose, turned his gaze away, and said, "Just like you said, their craftsmanship is indeed those kinds. But......" he glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, "everyone also learned according to the skills passed down from the master, and the dim sum made is naturally similar." If you can do more than a dozen things, you will be a master chef. How can it be like you, the roll of your eyes is a new trick? β
"Alas~~" Lin Xiaozhu let out a long sigh and got into the car with his hands and feet quickly, "People are so smart, what can I do?" β
"Hahaha......" Yuan Tianye and Yuan Shi, who were in the same car with her, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Yuan Tianye stretched out the fan in his hand, knocked Lin Xiaozhu on the head with a "pat", and scolded with a smile: "Have you praised yourself so much?" β
"Childe." Lin Xiaozhu touched his head and pouted, "You beat me stupid, but you are the one who loses." β
Although he knew the craftsmanship of the chef in the Duanwang Mansion, and Yuan Tianye also talked about the dim sum he had eaten, Lin Xiaozhu tossed the dim sum with Chef Li again just in case. In order to prevent the cake stove from being in handy, she also figured out a small clay oven. Like a small tower, the bottom layer is ventilated, the middle layer is charcoal, and the top layer is inlaid with an iron bucket on the pottery wall, and the top is covered. Yuan Tianye has a lot of capable people, drew a drawing, explained the principle, and she got what she wanted.
"Miss Lin, you said, let's open this store first?" Shopkeeper Zhou was a little breathless, and came to discuss with Lin Xiaozhu, "Also, is the price of our dim sum too high?" β
"I reopened on the second day of the banquet." Lin Xiaozhu was confident, "I'm not afraid of being expensive, I'm afraid it's not good." β
In the past few days, she has asked someone to design some exquisite small cards to make them look like membership cards for later generations. If you buy something in the store with the card, you can enjoy a 10% discount. Prepare the banquet and send it to those guests. Although Lord Wanhua may do something about judging the game, Lin Xiaozhu believes that Yuan Tianye will definitely react accordingly and maintain the fairness of the game.
This dim sum shop, she just plans to take the boutique route. The price of dim sum is set very high, in fact, even if it is discounted, the price is still higher than other dim sum shops. But in order to show their status, later generations have the practice of "only choosing the expensive ones and not buying the right ones". She believes that no matter how ancient or modern, the characteristics of the rich who love to show off will not change.
The day soon came to the day when Shen Ziyi held a poetry meeting, Lin Xiaozhu brought things, brought Chef Li and others, and followed Yuan Tianye to Shen Yuan.
Shen Ziyi's banquet was held in the lakeside pavilion and on the boat. When Yuan Tianye and the others followed the subordinates who greeted the guests at the door to get there, most of the guests had already arrived. The county lord of Wanhua sat in the water pavilion with a dozen gorgeously dressed girls and chatted, and from time to time burst into a burst of cheerful laughter.
And under the big banyan tree next to it, there were already a few people wearing subordinate costumes who were busy setting up the board and the stove, which should be the cook brought by the lord of Wanhua County.
Lin Xiaozhu and Yuan Tianye went over to greet Shen Ziyi, and then took Chef Li and the others there, and also put things on the side. (To be continued)
