After a cup of tea, the carriage stopped at an alley opposite the Cen Family Restaurant on Huafang Street.

Seeing that Luo Qian didn't get out of the car, Leshui just sat there looking at the Cen family's restaurant, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

He is not as old and sophisticated as the housekeeper, and he can see the difference between Xia Jin and Xia Qi, so as to guess the thoughts of his son-in-law. I just think that my son-in-law has been weird recently, and he often acts inexplicably.

I don't know how long it took, Luo Qian ordered in a low voice: "Let's go." ”

The coachman shook the reins and was about to drive the carriage out, when Luo Qian's voice came from the carriage again: "Wait." He had to pull the reins again to quiet the horse.

Le Shui glanced at Luo Qian puzzled, then followed his gaze and looked to the opposite side, but saw a mule cart stopped in front of the Cen family restaurant, and a young man in a blue shirt got out of the carriage and went straight to the restaurant. And behind him, followed by a man with clear eyebrows and a small hat in green clothes. These two people are very familiar with Le Shui, it is the young master of the Xia family and his little servant Dong Fang.

"Childe, it's Xia Gongzi." Leshui couldn't help but scream excitedly.

"Shut up." Luo Qian scolded in a low voice.

But it's too late, although Leshui's voice is not loud, and the distance between the two sides is so far, but it can't stand Xia Jin's ear power, and the three words "Xia Gongzi" were captured by her at once.

She stopped and looked this way.

Luo Qian leaned back as much as possible, not letting Xia Jin see him, and his heart was about to jump out.

The carriage Luo Qian rode today was the Qingbu tung oil car he usually liked to ride, with an ordinary style, not much different from the carriage used by the wealthy people on the street. And it wasn't Huzi who was driving today, it was another subordinate of Luofu. Leshui also sat in the carriage at this time. It stands to reason that Xia Jin couldn't recognize this car.

But I didn't want to, a moment later, a light footstep came to the car window, and Xia Jin's voice also sounded outside: "Brother Luo." ”

Luo Qian is usually frank and generous, he is what he should be, and he doesn't like to hide his head and show his tail the most. Covert and cover. If there was a few breaths just now, let him think about it. He would never hide himself behind the wall of the car. was discovered, and it was a big deal to say hello generously. It's okay to say it's a passerby.

However, just now the demon made the god to the ground, and he hid. The reason is that he doesn't want Xia Jin to see him.

He likes Xia Jin. wants to marry Xia Jin, but Xia Jin doesn't like him. rejected his feelings. Even so, he felt that as a man, he should no longer stalk and chatter. Respect her ideas and bless her silently. It's the right thing to do. What he had to do now was to stay away from her, instead of meeting face-to-face like he did now. He was worried that Xia Jin would misunderstand him for following her. Keep an eye on her, spy on her.

Now it is discovered by Xia Jin. He felt very embarrassed and ashamed.

However, now that Xia Jin was outside the car, it was impossible for him to pretend that it was not him in the car.

He sat up straight and smiled at Xia Jin outside the window: "Brother Qi." ”

Seeing him, Xia Jin seemed very happy: "Where are you going, Brother Luo?" If it's okay, why don't you come in and sit down? ”

Seeing Xia Jin's eyes as dark and bright as grapes, and the bright smile on her face, Luo Qian's heart that had fallen to the bottom of the valley suddenly rose to the sky, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Okay." He replied, but forgot the first half of Xia Jin's question to him

"Where to go".

He got out of the carriage, inquired about the preparation of the restaurant, and stepped into the Cen family restaurant with Xia Jin.

"What is the name of this restaurant?" He asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Xia Jin said. She looked at Luo Qian, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Brother Luo is rich and rich, so it's better for you to give a nice name." ”

Luo Qian shook his head: "The name of this restaurant has to be named by yourself to be interesting." ”

Xia Jin knew that Luo Qian's refusal to name her name was for her good. After all, this restaurant was opened by her in partnership with Cen Ziman and Su Muxian, and it was not appropriate for Luo Qian to name it after all.

She stopped talking about this, pointed to the hall of the restaurant and asked, "Look at this hall, is there anything else that needs to be added in terms of layout?" ”

Luo Qian looked around, pointed to a wall and said, "What calligraphy and paintings are you going to hang here?" ”

Luo Qian's finger pointed to Xia Jin's most difficult place recently: "I'm having a headache about this." Hang a famous calligraphy and painting, people come and go here, and it is a big loss if it is damaged or stained; You can hang ordinary people's calligraphy and paintings, my restaurant is a high-end route, and the calligraphy and painting are not good and the restaurant as a whole does not match. It's a dilemma. ”

Luo Qian smiled slightly: "I have a good idea." ”

"Oh?" Xia Jin raised his eyebrows, "You say." ”

"Lord Lin is an elegant person, and his favorite thing is food. If you go to him and ask for a pair of words, he will surely be happy to help you write it. ”

Xia Jin's eyes lit up: "Why didn't I think of it?" ”

The Lord Lin mentioned by Luo Qian is the Tongzhi of Linjiang City, Lin Yun's father. This person is not small, and he is a famous gentleman, and he also likes food, and he can hang his words in the restaurant, which is no less than a live signboard. And it is not difficult to ask him to say a word, as long as your restaurant can make the dishes he likes to eat, then it is no problem.

Xia Jin has absolute confidence in his own dishes.

"How can I invite him to come over? My restaurant hasn't opened yet. Xia Jin was a little embarrassed. She doesn't have much friendship with the Lin family.

"Leave this matter to me, and I'll take care of it for you." Luo Qian said.

Xia Jin glanced at him, and his voice softened: "Thank you." ”

Although Xia Jin used Xia Qi's voice at this time, which was not as crisp and pleasant as her own voice, her gentle "thank you" still made his heart flutter and he couldn't restrain himself when he heard Luo Qian's ears.

Feeling Luo Qian's gaze suddenly become hot, Xia Jin's heart swelled with a strange feeling.

She tilted her face slightly to the side.

The two of them fell silent for a moment.

Silently and aimlessly, they circled the hall, and then, the two of them circled around the hall again.

Xia Jin found that he didn't know where the iQue had gone, and he was stupid, so he couldn't help blushing and coughed lightly: "Let's go upstairs." ”

Luo Qian nodded subconsciously: "Okay." ”

At this time, I'm afraid Xia Jin will say: "Let's jump off the building." I guess he'll say "yes" too.

The two went upstairs. Still didn't speak—the two of them didn't know what to say, even now that they were sane.

After taking a turn upstairs, Xia Jin led Luo Qian to the backyard.

As soon as the two entered the backyard, a fat man in his forties came over with a tray, and the two bowls in the tray were steaming, I don't know what they were.

He said to Xia Jin with a smile: "Young Master Xia, the villain heard Dong Fang say that you are here. I also brought a friend. The villain specially made this Song sister-in-law fish soup and let you taste it. ”

"Oh, good." Xia Jin was very happy. Seeing that it was not easy to sit in the courtyard, he simply went back to the hall, asked the fat man to put the fish soup for a while, and said to Luo Qian: "You taste it." "Command Dong Fang again." Let them make a dish and send it over, and let Luo Gongzi test it to see how it tastes. ”

Dong Fang answered.

And the fat man stared nervously at Xia Jin and Luo Qian. I'm afraid they won't be satisfied.

The fat man's surname is Chen, his name is Chen Wang, and he is one of the cooks that Butler Yu and Dong Yan bought back in the provincial capital last time. The reason why he was nervous was because Xia Jin announced a series of competitive mechanisms among the four cooks. There is one of them. That is, which chef's dish the guest ordered, the chef can get a certain commission, that is, to say. The more popular his dish is, the higher the income. The guests were very satisfied. There is a reward, and he can get most of it - and a small half for the kitchen and the hall; If the guest is not satisfied with the meal and complains, then the money will be deducted.

This kind of reward and punishment mechanism, which has been overused in modern times, is very new in ancient times. Chen Wang: These people used to be slaves in big families, and no matter how good the food was, they only gave a few dozen yuan in reward. And after all, a person's craftsmanship is limited, and as the days go by, those tricks come and go, and the master is tired of eating, and this kind of reward is gradually gone.

Now I can not only learn new dishes, but also face customers with my own skills, and there are new customers every day. Whether they eat well or not is the best judgment of their own craftsmanship. What's more, what about competitors? Anyone who is a little self-motivated hopes that he can do better than others and get the most reward, not the worst one.

So during this time, the few cooks I bought were practicing their skills, and this was why Xia Jin came to her as soon as she stepped into the door and Chen Wang came to her to taste the food.

This Song sister-in-law fish soup is yellow and bright in color and fragrant, which attracts Luo Qian's index finger. Seeing Xia Jin start eating, he also scooped a spoonful into his mouth, and suddenly, he only felt tender and smooth, a delicious crab smell went down his throat into his stomach, and the capillaries in his body couldn't help but open.

"Is this crab soup?" He asked, surprised. This is not the time to eat crabs. Where did Xia Jin get the crabs?

"No, it's fish soup." Xia Jin smiled and looked at him.

Hearing Luo Qian's question, Chen Wang suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Eating the crab flavor, his sister-in-law Song fish soup is basically completed.

However, after Xia Jin tasted two spoonfuls, he put down the spoon and said to Chen Wang: "The mandarin fish has not been steamed long enough, and the fish meat has no flavor." ”

Chen Wang didn't have a little displeasure on his face, listened carefully, and then went out with a teachable face.

As soon as Chen Wang's front foot went out, a thin man limped in, holding a plate of red and shiny meat in his hand: "Childe, you can also taste the Dongpo meat I made." ”

This man is none other than money. How can you say that the wicked have their own wicked grinding? During this time, Xia Jin was both endeavouring, and if he didn't cook seriously, he would prick his toes with a needle, and he would be rewarded if he cooked seriously. Qian is not short of temperament, so naturally he couldn't stand this kind of persecution, and he escaped twice, and was caught by Xia Jin both times, and the punishment was doubled. In this way, there is no shortage of money and finally softened, and now he is serious about cooking, he only hopes to get more rewards, so that he can make up enough ten taels of silver to pay off the debt, and Xia Jin will come to discuss with him again whether to go or stay.

Xia Jin asked him to put the meat down, motioned for Luo Qian to taste it first, and he also took a piece and tasted it, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, and said, "Not bad." ”

Qian Buquan's heart was put down, and a smile appeared on his face.

Luo Qian looked at Xia Jin, his eyes shining: "These are all new dishes you taught them to make." (To be continued)
