The people of the Fuman Inn have been emptied. There was a sumptuous banquet in the lobby, and the second uncle Shen Tong and his uncle Shen Fang took about 20 guys from the whole store, including Yun Niang in the back kitchen, to stand aside in a proper manner, ready to be sent at any time.

Jia Taishi and Chen Peng were seated as the guest of honor, Li Zhi was pacified by Huainan, Kang Ming was transferred to the prison, and Yuan Qiong, the criminal prison department, was the accompanying guest, and other officials below the fourth rank were not worthy of being at the table, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

"Master Jia, Master Chen, this is a famous dish in Yangzhou, braised lion's head, can you try it?" Kang Ming picked up two lion heads and put them into the bowls of Taishi Jia and Chen Peng.

If you want to say that the most nervous, it is Shen Tong and Shen Fang, if they can get the praise of the big officials in the capital, the signboard in the future will be erected.

Mrs. Jia and Chen Peng tasted the dishes and nodded one after another, showing a satisfied look.

"Who cooked this dish? Excellent taste. Master Jia asked. Yun Niang walked to the table with her head bowed and gave a slight salute: "Thanks to the love of the master and the adults, it was burned by the people's daughters." Master Jia glanced at Yun Niang and said softly: "Raise your head." Yun Niang had no choice but to look up, but she didn't dare to look at her directly.

Chen Peng praised: "No wonder the dishes are so delicious, I didn't expect this beautiful chef to be beautiful and delicious, ah?" Hahaha...... "Even if it's not funny, all the bureaucrats laugh with it, only Song Che and Liao Heng's faces are getting more and more ugly."

"I have a dish and want to test the cook, I wonder if the cook can cook it?" Master Jia asked suddenly.

Yun Niang nodded and motioned to try.

"This dish is called 'Jade White Jade Soup', boiled in the same pot, the old man likes to eat lighter, Lord Chen likes to eat salty, how do you satisfy our two tastes at the same time?" Master Jia asked.

Yun Niang frowned slightly, how could a dish in the same pot be salty and light?

"Forgive the Lady Chef for being clumsy—"

"I know how to cook." Song Che stepped forward and said a word to Master Jia

"Please wait", and then pulled Yun Niang to the back kitchen. Shen Tong and Shen Fang followed in. When he arrived at the kitchen, Shen Tong dared to complain in a whisper: "The same pot of dishes, two flavors, I have been working in an inn for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of such a dish, isn't it difficult?" ”

"Yes, the reason why this old thing chose to come to Fuman Inn is to make things difficult, so second uncle, uncle, don't be courteous to him," Song Che said, and beckoned: "What are you still doing in a daze, shabu-shabu, burning fire, and cooking soup." ”

"How do you cook it? I can't cook anything like this. Yun Niang was so anxious that her face was pale. Song Che said: "According to the usual practice, the taste of the soup can be lighter. He took out a spoon and a soup bowl, filled the bowl with a small half bowl of water, and then poured down a large half jar of salt, which melted into a thick brine, and then added the spoon and stirred constantly, explaining: "A pot of soup will definitely not produce two flavors, but the spoon can, if you like to eat light, use an ordinary spoon, and if you like salty, use a spoon soaked in salt water." ”

"I see! Song Che, you're so smart! Yun Niang was overjoyed, her sadness disappeared, and she began to boil the soup, Shen Tong was responsible for cutting vegetables, Shen Fang was responsible for burning the fire, and Song Che tried her best to use thick salt water to accentuate the taste of the spoon.

With the division of labor and cooperation of several people, a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup was soon completed.

"Ahem...... Too! Before serving, Song Che secretly spit saliva into it, stirring and stirring, and no one found out.

Shen Tongjiang

The "Jade White Jade Saliva Soup" was served on the table, and Shen Fang handed over two tablespoons each. All the officials gathered around to see if the dish was really that weird.

Jia Taishi and Chen Peng each scooped a spoonful, and they really ate two flavors. Master Jia asked Yun Niang how she did it.

Yun Niang told Song Che how to soak the salt spoon, which aroused everyone's appreciation. Yun Niang is also so happy.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jia's next sentence made her look disgraced again.

"You have such extraordinary cooking skills, it's too aggrieved to live in Yangzhou, why don't you go to the capital with the old man?" Taishi Jia looked at Yun Niang's face, and there was a faint lewd light in his old eyes, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Yun Niang's delicate body was shocked, and she hurriedly retreated: "Thanks to the favor of the Taishi, the people's daughter...... My father passed away last year, and I am now in the mourning period, and if I can't travel far, I ask the master to forgive me. "It's a good excuse.

Master Jia was obviously displeased, but he couldn't criticize filial piety, so he waved his hand slightly, signaling that the proposal would be abandoned.

After the officials were full of food and drink, Taishi Jia asked everyone to retreat, leaving Song Che alone in the guest hall to listen.

Mrs. Jia drank tea leisurely.

"Taishi, there is something I must explain to you clearly, Ling Lang Jiayong's death has nothing to do with me, all this is Yang Song's doing." Song Che opened his mouth first to confess and transfer the contradiction.

Master Jia frowned and was silent for a long time before he said, "Who would have thought that a dog that seemed to be heartfelt, but in the end jumped up and bit his master." He turned his head and asked Song Che, "Why do you say this?" Song Che said: "Maybe the Taishi fed it too much, maybe it is not a dog itself, but an ambitious wolf." ”

"What about you? Are you a dog, or a wolf? ”

"I'm human."

"No, you have to be a dog, or you won't be able to get out of this door tonight." Master Jia said again: "Don't think that the old man is humiliating you, you must know that in this world, there are many people who want to be the old man's dog." The old man's dog is made of gold even if he gnaws his bones. Song Che's eyes were indifferent and he didn't say a word.

Jia Taishi got up and said: "The old man is not a person who holds on to the past, people can only get what they want by looking forward and looking at the money," he looked at Song Che again: "The old man is no longer selling with you, the dog of the Yang family no longer exists, so you will take its place, you must also know that the purpose of the old man going to Yangzhou this time is to come for the New Year's coin; This year's New Year's coins will be paid tribute to Dijon, much more than in previous years to Xiqiang, as the new president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, this golden bone will be rewarded to you to gnaw; Dijon is in a hurry, and it has to be sent at the end of the year, so you'd better move quickly. Song Che had no reason to refuse, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why does the Taishi insist on paying tribute to Dijon?" Dijon has huge ambitions, will it really discourage the idea of annexing Daliang because of a batch of coins? ”

"As a dog, you gnaw your bones, what qualifications do you have to talk about politics?" Master Jia said coldly.

Song Che was unhurried: "Even a dog has dignity, let alone a human?" Da Liang regarded himself as the Celestial Empire, why did he humiliate the lower state and pay tribute? Taishi Jia stared at Song Che coldly: "You dog, you give me the feeling that I am not very loyal." "Dog, dog, fucking dog!

Song Che was neither humble, nor arrogant, nor afraid, and stared back at Master Jia: "The premise of loyalty, doesn't you have to have a conscience first?" ”

"Hahaha......" Master Jia raised his head and laughed: "How many businessmen in this world make conscience money?" If you don't have a good conscience, can you make money? ”
