Chapter 61: Invitation
An Juan and Luo Yelin chatted with Nie Ying for a while.
It wasn't until Nie Ying came out and walked to their side that the topic came to an end.
Because the two of them were talking about Nie Ying's good words just now, seeing Nie Ying looking over curiously, An Juan didn't feel flustered, only looked at him with a smile, and said with concern: "Brother Nie, don't clean it up, let them get it." ”
Nie Ying was in a good mood now, so instead of letting go and resting as usual, she shook her head lightly: "Anyway, I'm idle and fine, just exercise my body." ”
Seeing that there was indeed no reluctance on Nie Ying's face, An Juan did not speak again.
Now that the business of Yuanju Pavilion has been getting better and better, Luo Yelin sat in the private room specially prepared for him by An Juan, quietly watching the noisy crowd below.
"Do you want to scale up a little more?" Luo Yelin turned his head sideways and asked An Juan.
An Juan hesitated slightly, and also looked at the flow of people in the hotel with Luo Yelin.
In the end, she shook her head with difficulty: "Forget it, my restaurant has only been open for a few months, and the foundation has not yet been completely established, so I should slow down and work hard step by step." ”
Luo Yelin actually just made a suggestion, and the final decision was still made by An Juan.
Therefore, he paused: "You are right, then let it be for the time being." ”
In fact, it's not just Luo Yelin who thinks that Anjuan's restaurant should be expanded, many people have this idea.
is like Liu Mingxi, who is in an increasingly tormented mood.
She said to herself over and over again in her heart, An Juan is just a flash in the pan, and it will soon disappear in the crowd, as long as you do your best, the future is limitless.
But saying so, in fact, Liu Mingxi couldn't help but explore An Juan's news, whether it was intentional or unintentional.
Just like now, after listening to the information brought by her subordinates, her mood began to be busy again.
Anwan's business is unusually good.
At the beginning, she was able to deceive herself and say that An Juan's business was good because the prince's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet had not been long in coming.
But a week later, the flow of people did not decrease, but increased.
…… Every day, the seats are full, and even in the afternoon and early morning when there are very few guests, the seats can only "find a place", and the guests have no right to choose at all.
Put yourself in her shoes, if her restaurant was so lively, Liu Mingxi would definitely not hesitate to expand the scale.
The more she thought about it, the more busy she became, and even woke up one night, suspecting that An Juan would buy her hotel with the help of Luo Yelin.
After being frightened awake in the middle of the night, Liu Mingxi leaned on the side of the bed and thought wildly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Her hotel is just opposite the Yuanju Pavilion, the place is big and the environment is good, and ...... Poor business.
It's so bad that a discerning person can see it at a glance.
If Luo Yelin helps, comes forward to contact the Liu family, and then pays a high price, they will definitely not hesitate to hand over the hotel she worked so hard to build.
…… may even send it out at a low price in order to tie up Luo Yelin.
The group of people from the Liu family's family have always been at odds with Liu Mingxi, and it is very likely that they will do this kind of thing.
Liu Mingxi's sleep quality has been particularly poor recently, and after thinking of this possibility in the middle of the night, he was even more sleepy.
She looked up at the ceiling above her head with a pair of large, blank eyes.
…… What should she do?
.
An Juan got up early to pack her things, but saw a man in a feather coat come over and put a letter on the counter.
Before Song Qin could say hello, he turned around and left.
"Who is he?" An Wan wiped her water-soaked hand twice on the apron around her waist, and at the same time stepped out of her footsteps.
Song Qin also went over curiously and took the envelope in his hand to take a look.
When the two of them were still in a dazed state, a diner who saw the whole process spoke: "Two girls, you have met a good thing!" ”
It was a kind-faced middle-aged uncle who spoke.
Anwan looked sideways at him, waiting for the next words.
The uncle did not let An Juan wait for a long time, and quickly told the specific situation: "Jincheng is a city that likes food, and it often holds some large and small competitions to invite those skilled chefs to participate. ”
Speaking of this, the uncle paused for a moment and repeated the idiom meaningfully: "Superb skills." ”
After saying these four words, the uncle's serious face softened slightly, but his expression was still very serious: "Since Miss An can be invited, it means that the chefs in Jincheng already know about your existence and think that you are a good cook." ”
An Juan has been listening attentively, but her heart is secretly wandering.
What exactly is this contest for? It seems like a hassle, but can I not participate?
As soon as her doubts surfaced in her mind, before she could ask, the uncle directly answered An Juan's question as if he had mind reading skills: "The invitation to this kind of competition is sent by a person full of feathers, which means that 'if you participate in this competition, you can soar to the sky', although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is true." ”
He looked up, and sure enough, he collided with An Juan's inquiring eyes.
This feeling of being a teacher made the uncle's heart feel happy for a while, and he adjusted his sitting posture to answer An Juan's questions in a more teacher-like manner.
"Generally, those who can hold competitions are very famous families or masters in Jincheng, if they get a good ranking, they can be known by many masters, and there will be many big families to recruit ......" Speaking of this, the uncle smacked his lips: "That's really a different life." ”
An Wan lowered her eyes and thought.
In fact, she already has a good foothold in Jincheng, and she can understand the current prosperous appearance of Yuanju Pavilion.
But she has never entered the chef circle in Jincheng, and Luo Yelin is just a layman.
If she wins an award in this competition, An Juan's popularity will increase again, and with the award, Jincheng's chef family will also selectively cooperate with her and share information with her.
But if she's Waterloo......
The opponents who were waiting for her defeat with red eyes would splash dirty water on her all over her.
With Luo Yelin's help, her fate will not be particularly miserable, and she can continue to move forward after cleaning up.
There are pros and cons anyway.
After thanking her uncle for his popular science, An Juan turned around and went back to the kitchen to pick vegetables, but the little balance in her heart swayed left and right in an unknown place, and she was not at peace.
She thought she had a choice to make for a while, so she kept silent and didn't say a word.
But at noon, the guests who came over blessed her, saying that she would definitely be able to get a good ranking.
An Juan was a little dazed.
…… She hadn't told anyone else about it, had she? How could it spread so quickly?
