Xin Zhen secretly liked that the fish was hooked, but the fish still had ideas.

Lu Mengsun thought for a while and said, "Xin Zhen, where did you get these things from?" ”

Xin Zhi said foolishly: "When my father rebelled, he had everyone under his command, and my father was fighting outside at that time, and he couldn't take me with him, so he entrusted me to the righteous army to take care of me to ensure that I was safe and easy to eat, drink, and eat."

The leading man was a chef in a restaurant in Bianjing back then, and he had a wide range of knowledge, and he had too many recipes in his head, and the reason why he joined the rebel army was because my father saved his life.

He was so grateful to my dad that he told me all the recipes he knew, and taught me how to cook.

Alas, it's a pity that after the fall of the rebel army, he didn't know where to go, but it's a pity that his talent was gone. ”

Xin Zhi compiled the ins and outs of the story, Lu Mengsun believed it, and couldn't help sighing: "That's a pity, if this master is still there, isn't it very simple to run a restaurant." ”

Xin Zhi smiled: "It's okay, these recipes are all in my head, with these recipes, it is enough to support a big restaurant." ”

Lu Mengsun said happily: "Then Xin Zhen, hurry up and compose the dishes to me, I will take it back to show the clan brother, if it is really good, the Lu family will go to Lin'an to open a restaurant, and in the future, your father and son will go to Lin'an on an errand, and come to the restaurant to eat at any time, all for free!" ”

Xin Zhen just laughed: "It's easy to say." ”

Seeing this, Lu Mengsun knew that Xin Zhi wanted benefits, so he quickly took out the silver of the small ingot from his arms and handed it to Xin Zhen, while saying: "This is the pen fee, you write well, and when you finish writing, I will give you another ingot." ”

Xin Zhi looked at the small silver ingot, which was less than five taels, but he didn't accept it, a sneering look appeared on his face, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll write two dishes, sir, you can take them back to the head of the Lu family to see, if you are interested, you can talk about cooperation again." ”

Lu Mengsun retracted his hand, knowing that Xin Zhi had seen through his thoughts, and scolded in his heart: This kid is young, but there are a lot of this way, and it is really strange and strange, where did he learn these bends and bends?

Xin Zhen didn't delay anything, took a pen and paper and wrote down the recipes of steamed carp and braised carp, and deliberately wrote down the key points inside, so as not to make the chef of the Lu family make a mistake and make the Lu family misjudge the situation.

After writing Xin Zhen, he gave the recipe to Lu Mengsun, and then said: "Mr. Lu, you can take this back to your clan brother to see, if you are interested, please come and talk about it." ”

Lu Mengsun waved his hand unconcerned and said, "It's okay, if you can, I'll come." ”

Xin Zhi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid you won't be able to call the shots in this matter." ”

Lu Mengsun looked at Xin Zhi in amazement.

Xin Zhi said: "Sir, this recipe is the most important thing in the restaurant, in the past, in Bianjing, a restaurant's recipe is related to the life and death of the restaurant, for the restaurant, a recipe is half of the restaurant's assets, it is conceivable that this recipe is worth geometrically, therefore, sir, you may not be able to be the master, you have to have the head of the Lu family to talk." ”

Lu Mengsun understood it now, but he was still not convinced, and said stupidly: "You kid has a lot of eyes, at such a young age, you look like a demon!" Okay, I know, I'll send this recipe to my brother and see what he has to say. ”

After saying that, he left in a huff.

Xin Zhi looked at Lu Mengsun's back and smiled like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

Lu Mengsun cursed as he walked, he felt that it was not a good thing to come into contact with this Xin Zhi once, he had injured a hand before, and he was ridiculed by Fan Zhongshu last time, and this time he was looked down upon by this kid Xin Zhen, it was really unlucky!

Lu Mengsun returned to the Lu family's mansion, and just after entering the door, he didn't take a few steps when he met his nephew Lu Ruli, who was Lu Mengkun's eldest son and most likely the head of the next generation of the Lu family.

When Lu Ruli saw Lu Mengsun, he didn't call him Uncle Clan, but just snorted coldly.

Lu Ruli has always been above the top, and he looks down on Lu Mengsun, the uncle who is the master of Mengtong, and he usually doesn't give a good look when he sees it.

Lu Mengsun was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend this nephew who would be in power in the future, and when he saw that his nephew was so rude to him, he smiled and said hello: "Nephew Ru Lixian, where are you going?" ”

Although Lu Ruli looked down on Lu Mengsun, he was always hard to ignore, so he just said lightly: "There is something to be busy with." ”

Lu Mengsun said repeatedly: "Okay, then you are busy." ”

Lu Ruli turned his head and left.

Lu Mengsun looked at Lu Ruli's back, and suddenly shouted, "Ru Lixian's nephew, wait a minute." ”

"What's wrong again?"

Lu Ruli was quite impatient.

Lu Mengsun still smiled gently: "Nephew Ru Lixian, do you know Xin Qiji?" ”

Lu Ruli glanced at Lu Mengsun and said, "If you want to provoke me to deal with Xin Qiji, don't think about it, so that you will not only offend Xin Qiji, but also offend me, do you understand, my good uncle." ”

Lu Mengsun waved his hand again and again and said: "That's impossible, Xin Qiji and I have already released our previous suspicions, I don't believe you can ask your father, I have been looking for that Xin Zhi for the past two days, and our relationship is good now."

I just have news for you, since you're not interested, forget it, I'm going to find your father. ”

Lu Ruli looked at Lu Mengsun's back, his face was a little cloudy, and suddenly said, "Uncle Mengsun, let's talk?" ”

Lu Mengsun smiled proudly, and when he turned his head, his smile was only gentle, and he nodded, "Okay." ”

Lu Ruli smiled and said, "Uncle Mengsun, you come with me." ”

Lu Ruli took Lu Mengsun to his courtyard, and the next person brought tea, and the two chatted in the shade of the tree.

“…… This Xin Qijian gave advice to the emperor, and was summoned to Beijing this time, I am afraid that he will be motivated, the Fan family intends to cling to it, and it is said that Fan Zhongkui's daughter will be married to Xin Qiji, did your eldest brother tell you this? ”

Lu Mengsun said.

Lu Ruli's pupils shrank: "Fan Zhongkui wants to marry Fan Caiping to Xin Qiji?" ”

Lu Mengsun nodded and said, "That's right, although the matter has not been decided, but once the matter of Xin Qiji's progress is confirmed, the Fan family will definitely sit down." ”

Lu Ruli suddenly fidgeted, reluctantly chatted with Lu Mengsun, and left under the pretext of having something.

Lu Mengsun looked at Lu Ruli, who was leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Lu Ruli despised him, he wanted to set up an enemy for Lu Ruli, Xin Zhi offended him, and he also wanted Lu Ruli to deal with the father and son!

Not many people know about Lu Ruli's admiration for Fan Caiping, the daughter of the Fan family, and it is just a coincidence that he can know.

After Lu Mengsun provoked his nephew, he went to see his brother Lu Mengkun again.

Lu Mengkun listened to Lu Mengsun's report, looked at the recipe, and asked the cook at home to come over.

"You can cook these two dishes and take a look, and pay attention."

The head of the house instructed that the cook was naturally quite attentive, and it didn't take long to bring a steamed carp and a braised carp.

Lu Mengkun tasted it and praised: "It's indeed delicious, Mengsun, can you taste it." ”

Lu Mengsun hurriedly tasted it, and frowned slightly: "It's almost the same taste, but it's still a little worse, it's not as amazing as Xin Zhen's doing, I'm afraid he still kept a hand." ”

Lu Mengkun smiled: "It's normal, but it's also a good thing, if it's really as amazing as you said, this restaurant is indeed a good way."

Now that the Jin soldiers are close at hand, the people of Jiangyin are frightened three times a day, and many people have begun to flee with their families, and the livelihood in this place is getting worse and worse.

Our family doesn't have so much land in the Fan family, and now it's just sitting and eating empty, if it goes on like this, the Lu family will soon be dispersed, and it is indeed time to find a new livelihood.

In this way, Meng Sun, you go and have a good talk with Xin Zhen, spend a few dozen taels of silver to buy the recipe, and then let him teach our chef by hand, this matter is done, whether you want to be a learner, or if you want to go to Lin'an to run a restaurant, I will support you. ”

Lu Mengsun smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, although this Xin Zhi is a child, but there are a lot of twists and turns, I'm afraid a few dozen taels of silver can't satisfy him, and he also specially instructed that if you are satisfied, you will personally go to him to talk about this matter." ”

Lu Mengkun was stunned, and said with a smile: "This kid thinks too highly of himself, right, I'm the head of the Lu family, and I went to discuss business with a child?" ”

Lu Mengsun sneered and said: "The foolish brother also thinks it's too much, or let's go again after Xin Qiji comes back, so that we won't lose our identity." ”

Lu Mengkun thought for a while and said, "No, let's go tomorrow." ”

Lu Mengsun didn't quite understand.

Lu Mengkun said with a smile: "Although he has lost his identity, Xin Zhi is a child after all, no matter how cunning he is, how cunning can he be, but he can negotiate a good price, Xin Qiji seems to be able to improve, and we are not good at using it, so as not to suffer too much in the future, so we have to take advantage of Xin Qiji's absence at home, and it is naturally best to negotiate a good price." ”

Lu Mengsun suddenly realized: "It's extreme, it's extreme!" The eldest brother is thoughtful. ”
