Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 1173
"Well, princess, there is something I want to tell you, although I think it's a bit inappropriate, but..."

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.

Cheng Haoxuan pursed the corners of his lips, leaned closer, and said: "Bai Jing came here today to find trouble, I think you should have noticed that the imperial dining room is not as clean as we imagined. I used to learn cooking skills with Master When I was a child, I often heard him worrying about the future generations of the imperial dining room not being as good as the next generation."

"Princess, you are a very smart and capable person. I think if anyone can change the status quo of the imperial dining room, it may be you. So today I am not just in the cave to watch the fun. If possible, I also hope that the princess can help my master, he is really not easy."

Lin Yuan was a little surprised by Cheng Haoxuan's words, she never thought that this young man would have such great ambitions in his heart.

The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room are not working properly, and it is not a matter of a day or two. Lu Chong, who is No. 1 in the imperial dining room, has no choice. What can she, a small outsider, do?
But even if he couldn't do anything, Lin Yuan was still very grateful to Cheng Haoxuan for telling the story, which showed that in his heart, he had already regarded Lin Yuan as one of his own.

"I've heard Mr. Zhuang Kangping mention this matter when I met him before, but I was also powerless. Mr. Cheng, you should know that even though I am a good cook, I have the name of the princess I am alive, but no matter what, I am just an outsider and a woman. I remember that it has been stated in Dayong’s law that women cannot be officials. Since I cannot be an official, how can I enter the imperial dining room to do what you said? What's up?"

Lin Yuan didn't try to shirk it on purpose, she really had no other way, in this era, everything is done according to the law.

Not only are women not allowed to be officials, but even in some larger restaurants, there is no precedent for women to be cooks.Otherwise, she would not have made up her mind to open a restaurant by herself.

Cheng Haoxuan also understood what Lin Yuan understood, but since he brought it up today, he must have thought about it.

"Princess, of course I know this, so I thought of another way."

in addition?

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows. She had to say that she was also aroused by Cheng Haoxuan's words at this time.

Cheng Haoxuan chuckled, with a sly face on his face: "Now Dongtian's reputation is as famous as that of Zuixianlou. With the princess's ability, I guess that within five years, Dongtian will surpass Zuixianlou. I just don't know. Have you ever thought about what kind of Chengfu will develop into the cave in the future?"

Lin Yuan opened her mouth subconsciously, but was stopped by Cheng Haoxuan first: "Open a branch? This is a good idea. The whole Da Yong has a hole in the sky, and there must be a lot of money in the account. But, has the princess ever thought that you just Want money?"

Is there anything else?

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, not knowing what Cheng Haoxuan was thinking about making such a big turn, and asked directly: "If you have any ideas, just say it, if you keep beating around the bush like this, I will see you off."

Cheng Haoxuan didn't expect her to be so unkind, wrinkled his nose, said "boring", and then spoke out his thoughts.

"To tell you the truth, the princess, in fact, I want to persuade the princess to open up the door, recruit people who are aspiring to be chefs in the world, and train them to be peerless cooks. At that time, let alone the branch of Dongtian, even the imperial dining room can come in and out at will. Yes!"

This……

Lin Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and the way she looked at Cheng Haoxuan changed.

To be honest, she never thought that Cheng Haoxuan would come up with such an idea.In fact, she had thought before that if she wanted to make the cave bigger, she must train her own cooks. Otherwise, there would be too many branches, and she would not be able to take care of them at all, and she would not be at ease letting her staff go out and do it alone.

However, when he thought of training cooks for the branch, he never thought about training cooks for the imperial dining room.

Where is the imperial dining room?Is that something she can intervene as a little girl?
She wanted to send the Liu family's off-season vegetables into the imperial dining room, and she spent a lot of effort, even now without success.

Now Cheng Haoxuan asked her to train an imperial chef?

what!
Why does this matter sound more and more like a big joke?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's expression became a little more funny. Cheng Haoxuan had a clear mind, so he could see what she was thinking at a glance.

"Why? The princess thinks what I'm talking about is a fairy tale?"

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows amusedly: "What? Isn't it?"

Cheng Haoxuan said righteously: "Of course not! My master has been in the imperial dining room for nearly 20 years, and he said that if it can be achieved, it will definitely be achieved!"

Huh?
Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows even higher, and looked at Cheng Haoxuan suspiciously.

Being stared at by Lin Yuan, Cheng Haoxuan covered his mouth vigilantly, and beat his leg remorsefully, obviously regretting telling the truth.

"It turns out that you didn't come up with this matter!"

With an affirmative tone, Lin Yuan silently rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that Lu Chengcheng and Haoxuan, the master and apprentice, were so uninteresting that they even teamed up to fool her!
Cheng Haoxuan quickly explained: "No, no, oh, that's right, in fact, my master did bring up this matter, but it's not him who asked me to convince you today, it's me, I looked at the master All day long, I was troubled by the unhealthy tendencies in the imperial kitchen, so I thought about what I could do to help him. Later, I heard him say that it would be great if someone could teach these dishonest imperial chefs a lesson. Then, then I I just thought of you."

Cheng Haoxuan's voice became softer as he spoke, and he was ashamed to be seen through his small calculations.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yuan knew that what he said was true.

Although she didn't get along with Lu Chong much, Lin Yuan still recognized his character.

"I understand what you mean, but this matter is really big, you have to allow me to think about it. After all, I am a woman, and it is acceptable to cook for the emperor occasionally. If I guide the imperial chef in the palace, I am afraid His Majesty will not be pleased."

The cook I have spent a lot of money on is not as good as a little girl from the countryside outside the palace. If the emperor is narrow-minded, he will definitely hate Lin Yuan.

So Lin Yuan should think carefully about this matter, at least discuss it with Xia Zheng.

It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, how many times has she met the old emperor?It's better to ask someone you trust.

Seeing that Lin Yuan did not refuse so categorically as before, Cheng Haoxuan was very happy, and nodded in agreement.

After chatting a few more gossips with Lin Yuan, Cheng Haoxuan left in a hurry, and he had to go back to have lunch with Mrs. Cheng!
Seeing Cheng Haoxuan's back in a hurry, Lin Yuan felt relieved, among other things, at least the child knew how to love others.

It's not yet the first lunar month, Xia Zheng is still busy walking around with the nobles in the capital, and only at night will he have a little time to meet and talk with Lin Yuan.

At noon, Lin Yuan simply had a little lunch in Dongtian.

After the meal, I remembered the jewelry drawings I had drawn before for the big wedding, so I took out the drawings and sent Gingko to the jewelry shop opened by Han Huijuan.

Ever since Han Huijuan opened the jewelry shop, Lin Yuan claimed that she had hired Han Huijuan to look after the shop for her.

Her stepmother, Mrs. Bai, was concerned about Lin Yuan's identity and the general's house behind her, so naturally she didn't dare to beat and scold Han Huijuan like before.

Seeing that the jewelry store's business is getting better and better, Bai Shi originally thought of getting a hand through Han Huijuan, but Han Huijuan has learned to be smart now, and directly lifted Lin Yuan out and rejected her.

After several encounters with Han Huijuan, although Bai was very angry, she had no choice but to give up on Han Huijuan.

As for Han Huijuan's half-brother, Han Chaosheng, since he lost his hands, his dream of finding a job in the court has been completely shattered.

Since then, he has been decadent, not going out of his yard all day, and harming the maids in his yard regardless of day and night.

Later, for some reason, Han Chaosheng's interest changed from a young girl to a young boy, and the place for fun changed from his own yard to the actor's hall and Nanfeng hall in the capital.

Let alone three days and two days, it is common to not go home for ten days and a half months.

At the beginning, Han Taining and Bai Shi were annoyed and managed for a while, but no matter beating or scolding, or even being locked in the house and not allowed to go out, Han Chaosheng didn't get rid of this problem, and in the end he went on a hunger strike to protest.

In the end, Mrs. Bai felt sorry for this disabled son, so he let him go.

Han Taining was furious, originally thinking that his son would not be able to pursue an official career, so he should pursue a career in business.

Who would have imagined that he would work hard for his son outside, this son was just ignorant and willing to degenerate, as time passed, he became more and more disappointed, so Han Taining stopped talking to him and let him fend for himself.

However, Han Chaosheng's son was abolished, but now Han Taining didn't stop.

He added several young and beautiful newcomers to the mansion, thinking that one day he would give birth to a son again.

How could Mrs. Bai agree to such a thing?
In the current Han Mansion, on the one hand, it is Bai's vying for favor in front of Han Taining, and on the other hand, she is secretly making trouble for the new concubines who have entered the mansion.

It was so lively, I forgot about the eldest lady Han Huijuan.

Han Huijuan lived a comfortable and happy life, even her complexion was much better than before, and the smile on her face was much brighter.

Ginkgo came to deliver the drawings, and seeing Han Huijuan like this, couldn't help but say a few nice words.

Han Huijuan smiled shyly, her cheeks turned red immediately.But after all, she is the proprietress of a jewelry store, and she is no longer as dull and talkative as before, so she joked a few words with Ginkgo.

"Miss Han, please stay a little longer. The maidservant will go back to serve my lady after delivering the blueprint. Another day when my lady is free, I will definitely come over to chat with you in person."

Ginkgo bowed and left happily.

Han Huijuan held the blueprint sent by Gingko in her hand, and the smile on her lips had not had time to dissipate when she suddenly saw a tall and handsome young man walking into the shop. That young man was taller than ordinary young men in the capital, and his face Also more resolute.

There are very few men who enter jewelry shops, let alone such a handsome and cheerful young man?

Han Huijuan couldn't help but take a second look.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, it just happened to meet the young master's eyes.

Han Huijuan's face turned red, and she quickly avoided it. The hand holding the blueprint tightened suddenly, and she wanted to run away while holding her skirt.

This kind of embarrassment was the first time since she took over the jewelry shop!

Secretly scolding herself in her heart, Han Huijuan suddenly heard the young man who entered the door speak.

"Excuse me, is your boss, Ms. Han, here?"

Han Huijuan was taken aback for a moment, and stopped involuntarily. As soon as the young man entered the door, he asked Miss Han, the host, it seemed that he knew her?
But, since he knew her, why didn't he recognize him when he met her eyes just now?
After thinking about it, the young master has been attracted by the little girl who entertains the guests in the store.

Han Huijuan calmed down her emotions before turning around and smiling at the young master: "Is this young master looking for me? I don't know your name, young master. What can you do with me?"

After getting so close, Han Huijuan realized that the young man's clothes were a little wrinkled, and seemed to be a bit dusty. He must have just rushed to Beijing.

Could it be a foreigner?

Han Huijuan looked at her in her heart, waiting for the young master to speak.

But after waiting for a while, he didn't speak a word, so he couldn't help but raised his head in wonder.

When she raised her head, Han Huijuan's body shook violently.

what did she see?
This son actually held a hairpin in his hand, a hairpin that was exactly the same as the pearl hairpin he was wearing on his head!

Subconsciously, she raised her hand to touch the bun, and found that the hairpin was still firmly inserted in her head, so she was relieved.

However, as soon as the heart fell to the ground, it suddenly rose again.

The hairpin on her head was the one secretly picked up by Cheng Yuexiu and Guo Mei in Yao Hanyan's residence that day.

This hairpin was made by her mother who passed away many years ago. It is unique in the world. Why, why does this young master have the same one in his hand?

Han Huijuan's eyes widened, and she wanted to take a closer look at the hairpin.

Looking at it this way, it is found that the two hairpins are different in subtleties.

For example, the phoenix eyes of her hairpin are small broken diamonds, but the hairpin in this young master's hand has very delicate and small pearls as eyes.

Not only that, but also the luminous pearl in Phoenix's mouth. Although both are the same size, the light emitted by her luminous pearl is softer, while this son's luminous pearl is faintly brighter, like the scorching sun in the sky.

If her luminous pearl is the brilliance of the moon, then his luminous pearl is the brilliance of the sun.

These two hairpins were not made by the same person.

The more Han Huijuan looked at it, the more puzzled she became, and she became more curious about the identity of the young man in front of her.

The young master remained silent all this time, and seemed to be looking at Han Huijuan as well.

"This boy..."

Fortunately, they were in their own jewelry shop, and it was just after lunch time, and there were no other customers in the shop except this young man, otherwise, the two of them standing face to face would definitely cause bad rumors.

Han Huijuan opened her mouth to remind, and she involuntarily took two steps back to distance herself from the young man.

Hearing Han Huijuan's words, the young master suddenly realized, and quickly retracted his hands that were about to become stiff, and quickly apologized: "Miss Han, please forgive me, I was rude."

This was the first time Han Huijuan heard him speak. It was a little low and hoarse, but it sounded very comfortable and pleasant.

Listening to the voice, she was an upright gentleman, Han Huijuan smiled, turned sideways, and did not accept his courtesy.

However, before she could speak again, the young man's words made her froze all over.

"Miss Han, my surname is Qi. My father and Lingtang were old friends when I was young. I have the opportunity to go to Beijing today. I was asked by my father to visit Lingtang. It's just a pity..."

Surname Qi?Father?Old friends?

Han Huijuan trembled, and looked at the hairpin in Mr. Qi's hand, what else did she not understand?
The whispers that my mother held her hand and said to her before she died, all echoed in my ears at this moment.

"Juan'er, mother is sorry for you, mother can no longer protect you. Back then, if mother had been braver and gone away with brother Qi, maybe you would not be in such a situation now."

"Brother Qi, I'm sorry for failing to live up to your affection and our promise, I'm sorry."

The whispers of her mother when she was dying would echo in her ears in the dead of night, and she vaguely knew some old things about her mother when she was young.

She used to have a man she liked, but that man's background was not very good, compared with Han Taining, it was a world of difference.

Therefore, none of the grandfather's family agreed with the marriage between the mother and the son.In the end, he beat the mandarin ducks and broke up the two of them.

The mother married into the Han family and lived a happy and comfortable life in the mouth of the grandfather.

As for the brother Qi that the mother was talking about, it was said that when he was discouraged, he left the capital and never returned to the capital.

Looking at the familiar hairpin in Master Qi's hand, Han Huijuan couldn't help raising her hand and took the hairpin off her head.

"Mother said that this hairpin was drawn by herself when she was young, and the Ye Mingzhu on it is her brother Qi's only wealth."

She muttered a few words, as if the scene when her mother made this hairpin appeared in front of her eyes. There was a faint smile on the corner of her lips. Follow along and cheer up.

Only now did she know that that kind of smile is called happiness.

Young Master Qi on the opposite side also said: "Miss Han, please express my condolences. Lingtang passed away early, and I feel the same way. This hairpin was made by my father. This time I came to Beijing, my father specially asked me to find Lingtang and have a look. How is she doing?"

Han Huijuan raised her head in a daze, what did he say?Feel the same?Did his mother die too early?
And this hairpin was also made by his father himself?

It turned out that the mother had missed and felt sorry for the man for many years, and did not hold her grudges. He still remembered sending his son to visit, so he must also miss his mother, right?

Han Huijuan smiled, and said two words in relief and gratitude, not only for herself, but also for her mother who passed away many years ago.

"Thank you."
