Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate - Chapter 64

Shopkeeper Song returned to his hometown in the countryside, found Mr. Song, and told him about the matter. Mr. Song shook his head like a rattle. He helped Chef Gao in the early years, but this kind of favor is not used every time. If it is not necessary, don’t go to him.

“Father, now our restaurant is at the point of life and death, you don’t know how arrogant the owner of Qishanju is, he came directly to kick the restaurant, saying that if we lose the competition, this restaurant should not be opened.

They already rode up to our necks to shit…” Shopkeeper Song added emphatic words, even blaming Jiang Yunzhu for all the nasty things he did. Anyway, the old man stayed in the country and didn’t know the situation.

Sure enough, Mr. Song was furious after hearing this, a girl, even if you have some skills, how can you look down on her like this?

The two set off immediately and went to Luzhou.

In Anping Hou Mansion, the concierge told Gao Shun that someone wanted to see him. He saw Mr. Song and Shopkeeper Song, and it took him a long time to remember who they were.

After hearing their intentions, he only felt troublesome.

At this time, shopkeeper Song took out four hundred taels of silver at the right time, and he smiled, and in that case, he went for a walk.

But this round trip will take at least four days, and he has to ask the mansion for leave.

Marquis Anping likes to eat his dishes, and he wanted to ask for leave. The housekeeper dared not make decisions without authorization, so he went to ask the master of the house for instructions.

Now there are three masters in charge of Anpinghou’s mansion, Anpinghou, Anpinghou’s wife and the eldest son Lin Ting’an.

Anping Hou and his wife went to Jinguang Temple to worship Buddha, and it was not a big deal, so the housekeeper found Lin Ting’an.

At this moment, Lin Ting’an was reading a book in the study, when the butler came in, and as soon as he explained the matter, he casually replied “Got it”, and the butler withdrew.

After he left, Lin Ting’an felt his eyes sour. Looking at the sky outside, he realized that he had been reading for two hours without knowing it.

He stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance, thinking of many things.

Suddenly, he remembered an ancient book, and immediately went to the bookshelf to look for it.

The front shelf didn’t have it, the second one, the third one, and when he got to the fourth shelf, he saw a painting hanging there.

Amidst the bright fireworks, a beautiful woman stood there with her eyes raised. Her eyebrows were full and her figure was graceful. She seemed to be admiring the gorgeous fireworks, and seemed to be alone in the world. Everything was out of her eyes. It feels like an illusion, as if it is not in the world.

Lin Ting’an reached out and took down the painting. He remembered this painting. It was painted after he returned home on the Lantern Festival, but he didn’t expect it to still hang here.

After taking a second look, he rolled up the painting, put it on the bookshelf aside, and continued to search for the ancient book.

On Jiang Yunzhu’s side, she and shopkeeper Meng had just agreed on the lottery of the competition, and there was already a lot of rumors outside.

Everyone is talking about this matter, Jiang Yunzhu lost, and will work for shopkeeper Meng for a year? Can Qishanju still be opened? Will they not be able to eat Qishanju’s food?

If Jiang Yunzhu wins, he can win a well-decorated shop, which is worth five hundred taels of silver. What is the concept of five hundred taels of silver? Many people will never earn it in their entire lives.

This game is really a big gamble, everyone is guessing who will win, and the whole Wuling County seems to have become lively.

When it was time for dinner, Qishanju was overcrowded again, and everyone wanted to see how Jiang Yunzhu was doing. ,

Unfortunately, they didn’t see anyone.

Jiang Yunzhu was in the backyard at this time. For this game, she was going to go all out, so many things had to be prepared in advance.

Their game is a best-of-three game, so she must first consider which three dishes to cook on the day of the game.

Ordinary dishes are definitely not good, so it must be a blockbuster, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to start the reputation of Qishanju.

After much deliberation, she finally settled on three dishes. However, it is really troublesome to make these three dishes. One of them has been lost now, and only later generations can restore it. She suddenly made it now, and she still needs a reason.

This reminded her of the “Bright Moon and Clear Spring” she made last time, that time she borrowed Gu Yanzhou’s mouth to say that line of poetry, this time…

She thought of Shen Fengming, the last time she mentioned Xiao Kong Imaging, he knew all about it, maybe he also knew about the “Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talk”. After all, his father was a scholar of the Shen University, and he knew the ancient and modern times. The Shen family should have this book in their possession.

Jiang Yunzhu got up and came to Shen Fengming’s door, knocking on the door.

Soon, there were footsteps inside, the door opened, and Shen Fengming stood there, “Miss Jiang.”

“I have something to ask you.” Jiang Yunzhu said.

“Come in and sit.” Shen Fengming said.

Jiang Yunzhu entered.

The layout of Shen Fengming’s room is very simple, just a bed, a square table, and two chairs when he moved in. At this time, there were a few books, a stack of paper, and an inkstone on the table. It seemed that he was reading and writing just now.

Jiang Yunzhu looked around and felt that he was not a person who wanted to enjoy himself. That’s right, Qilinwei’s work is often in the wind and rain, and if he is afraid of suffering and tiredness, he can’t do it.

However, the decoration of this room is still too crude, and Jiang Yunzhu feels ashamed. Before she took care of him, she only cooked medicine for him a few times, cooked meals for a few days, took him to buy clothes once, and didn’t care about anything else at all.

Just like that, he still wants to repay her?

She felt like she couldn’t afford it.

After the game is over, let’s mess with his room, not to mention how gorgeous it is, at least it won’t be so shabby.

Jiang Yunzhu thought to herself, sat on the chair over there, and talked about her reason for coming. Five days later, there was a cooking competition, and she wanted to study some new dishes. She wanted to ask Shen Fengming if there were any books about dishes. She wanted to refer to them. .

“There are “Food Clinic Records”, “Benxinzhai Recipes”, “Shanjia Qinggong”…”Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talks”…”Yunlintang Diet”…” Shen Fengming said one by one, Jiang Yunzhu’s eyes became brighter and brighter, no, ” Ben Xinzhai Recipe” Does he know it too?

This is a book that has been lost for a long time. In her dream, she searched for it for two or three years but couldn’t find it.

“Mr. Shen, these books?” Jiang Yunzhu felt that his breath was burning.

“If Miss Jiang wants to watch it, I can silence it for you.” Shen Fengming said.

“You remember all?”

“Ok.”

Jiang Yunzhu didn’t know what to say.

Her eyes were burning, Shen Fengming slightly moved his eyes away, picked up a pen, “Which book would Miss Jiang want to read first?”

“”Benxinzhai Recipe”.” Jiang Yunzhu actually wanted to watch “Shanjia Qinggong”, but thinking of the importance of the competition, she said, “”Xiyuan Zatan”.

“Okay.” Shen Fengming began to write.

Jiang Yunzhu sat next to him and watched, because she was anxious to read the content behind, she got closer and closer to him, until the shallow breath brushed against his skin, Shen Fengming’s handwriting, which was always very dignified, suddenly crooked .

In the evening, Jiang Yunzhu got “Benxinzhai Recipe” and “Xiyuan Miscellaneous Talk”. The latter was fine, but she read the former for a long time before bed.

The next day, she said she was going to Luzhou to buy some competition materials. Wuling County is still too small to buy some things at all.

Some of Xue Jing and others wanted to go with her, and some wanted to go for her.

Of course Jiang Yunzhu had to go in person, she was afraid that the things bought by others would not meet her requirements.

The store was already very busy, and when she left, everyone was even busier, and finally Shen Fengming went with her.

At noon that day, Lin Yubai and Qin Yao came to Qishanju for dinner.

This kind of thing happened in the store. In the past two days, Xie Chen would come to the store to help if he had time, so today he is still standing at the counter.

Qin Yao came in and chatted with Xie Chen seemingly unintentionally. They were all very polite words, but she felt very satisfied and sat down in her seat, ready to have a big meal.

When the food came, Lin Yubai took a bite, but frowned slightly. Today’s dish was not made by Jiang Yunzhu. Although it was delicious, it was just not so interesting. Ordinary people might not be able to taste it, but he knew it.

Qin Yao didn’t seem to eat it, she ate very happily. But she was also a little worried, “I don’t know if Qishanju can win the competition in four days.” She no longer cares about the fact that Jiang Yunzhu didn’t sell her paintings before, and she was there when Jiang Yunzhu challenged Boss Meng yesterday. , she actually admired her a lot, she didn’t want Qishanju to just disappear.

“Don’t worry, Qishanju will definitely win.” Lin Yubai said.

“How do you know? I heard that Boss Meng is going to invite a top chef.” Qin Yao asked.

Lin Yubai just knew it.

Qin Yao didn’t bother to talk to him.

On February 26th, Jiang Yunzhu came back with a bunch of things, her face was a little tired, but she was full of energy.

Tomorrow is the day of the competition, “How is it?” Chen asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, mother.” Jiang Yunzhu said, and then she began to process the materials until very late.

After a sweet sleep, the streets became lively very early the next day. Everyone wanted to see who would win and lose in today’s competition.

As early as two days ago, a high platform had been set up between Qishan Residence and Xishan Residence, with stoves, chopping boards and other things placed on both sides of the platform. Boss Meng also knows that if he wins today, it will be the time when Xishanju will become famous, so he is much more active than Jiang Yunzhu in doing things. He is the one who made this high platform.

Seeing Si Shi, the game was about to start, the edge of the high platform was crowded with people, and suddenly a gong cleared the way.

When everyone looked back, they saw many yamen servants and a sedan chair behind them.

“It’s the magistrate.” “The magistrate has been alarmed?” Everyone whispered, looking forward to today’s competition.

Jiang Yunzhu was making the final preparations at Qishanju, and was a little surprised seeing this.

The magistrate is here, I don’t know if it will affect today’s affairs.

After a while, the sedan chair fell, and Meng Zhixian came out of the sedan chair.

Everyone hurriedly saluted him, and he told them to stand up, so there was no need to salute.

He also heard that Qishanju and Xishanju were going to compete in cooking. He thought about it, this is a good thing, it means that the people in their county are rich and full of talents, maybe it will be a good story to spread in the future, so he decided to take a look.

There were already ten young people standing on the high platform. These ten young people were all students of Wenyuan Academy, and they were also ten well-known princes in the county. They were invited by Jiang Yunzhu to be the referee after discussing with Shopkeeper Meng.

Now that Meng Zhi County is here, naturally he must be added.
