Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 686 Gone? ?
This man is none other than Xiao Ma from Ma's grocery store.

Seeing Lin Yuan, Xiao Ma was obviously a little surprised, but he reacted quickly, and greeted Lin Yuan with a smile: "Boss Lin, it turns out that Yuan'er that Lanhua keeps talking about is Boss Lin!"

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows. When she first started selling cakes, the oil paper and hemp ropes she used were all bought at the Ma’s grocery store, but later she opened her own store, and the items used in the store were either custom-made or If the six sons went to buy it, she would have less chance to deal with pony.Did not expect to meet again, this pony still remembers her.

"Yes, pony, what a coincidence!"

Lin Yuan greeted Xiao Ma with a smile, and when she looked at the orchid again, her little face turned redder, and Lin Yuan couldn't help but wink at her mischievously.

Lan Hua bit her lips and drooped her eyes, that coy little figure was completely different from the one she had quarreled with others in Linjia'ao back then.

"You, are you back?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help joking: "Yeah, why, you don't want me to come back? Are you afraid that I will spoil your good deed?"

"How could I say that!" Lan Hua raised her eyes to look at Xiao Ma, and secretly glared at Lin Yuan as if threatening, but this deterrent force was nothing more than a kitten scratching her itch.

Although Lan Hua categorically denied it, Lin Yuan could tell the different relationship between her and Xiao Ma at a glance, and she tilted her head and said to Xiao Ma, "Xiao Ma, what do you think, have I ruined your good deed?"

Xiao Ma was taken aback, and scratched his head in embarrassment and shyness: "Well, I, I'm here to deliver a bowl to Lanhua, ahem, to Miss Lin. She likes exquisite and beautiful bowls, so I left her a bowl. set."

Lin Yuan smiled and pursed her lips, winked her eyes at Lanhua, and said it was okay, she was thinking about leaving her favorite things!

"I still have something to do in my shop, so I'll leave first." Xiao Ma nodded to Lin Yuan very politely, then turned around and smiled at Lan Hua, that smile contained thousands of worlds.

"Well, you go back. Be careful on the road!" Seeing Xiao Ma driving the carriage away, Lan Hua reluctantly asked her repeatedly, even Lin Yuan looked at her amusedly without noticing.

"Hey, just leave like this? How about you go too!"

"Lin Yuan! You really are!" Lan Hua pouted her mouth, her cheeks were flushed red, making Lin Yuan laugh out loud.

This smile made Lan Hua blush again, and shouted at Xia Zheng who was sitting leisurely in the carriage: "Come over and take care of your woman! If you laugh again, you will be silly!"

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows to look at the sky, and the corners of his lips rose. It would be nice if his woman was really stupid, so that no one would think of her.

Just joking, but to be honest, Lin Yuan is still very optimistic about Xiao Ma, let's not talk about his conditions, but this young man himself is good, Lin Yuan's first impression of him is very good, and after a few encounters with him, even more I think this person is very reliable.There is also the old couple in their family who seem to be very kind-hearted people. If Lan Hua is married, they should not be bullied.

Although the marriage is still a bit far away, but judging by the appearance of Lanhua and Xiaoma, it shouldn't be too long.

Instead of teasing Lan Hua about this, Lin Yuan walked around the tofu workshop, and everything was fine, except that the children were not in high spirits, and they didn't work as vigorously as before.

"What's wrong with these children, don't they want to work here?" Lin Yuan asked quietly, avoiding the children.

Lan Hua sighed, took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Yuan: "I should have told you about this earlier, but you have been busy with Yecheng affairs and couldn't come back, so you delayed until now." "Xiaolinzi, let's go."

Kobayashi left?
Lin Yuan opened the envelope suspiciously. This was the first time she saw the handwriting written by Xiao Linzi. It was neat, clean, and powerful. It was obvious that she had worked hard since she was a child.

The letter didn't say why he left, he just said he went home.Other than that, it was nothing more than expressing gratitude to Lin Yuan, and more importantly, hoping that Lin Yuan could continue to take care of those children.

"Stinky boy! Leave as soon as you say, and don't wait for me to come back!" Although Xiao Linzi was very proud, he still felt a little bit reluctant to hear him go.

"Yes, this kid is really strange. He was fine the day before, but left me a letter the next day saying he was going home." Lan Hua was also very puzzled, "I didn't say where he was going, People don't know where his home is, and what to do if someone is kidnapped by a kidnapper, this is worrying."

Lin Yuan was also worried, but Xiao Linzi was a boy after all, and he was also a very smart boy, so nothing would happen to him.

It's just that the children in the tofu shop, they used to be little beggars, and it was because of Xiao Linzi that they came to work in the tofu shop.Now that Xiao Linzi is gone, these children have a close relationship with him, and even take him as their leader. I don't know that Xiao Linzi is not here anymore, are they still willing to stay?
Lin Yuan deliberately asked a few children, but unexpectedly, none of the children were willing to leave.In their own words, although Xiao Linzi is gone, he is definitely worried about these troubled brothers, and will definitely come back to see them in the future.In order for Xiao Linzi to have a place to find them, they will never leave.

For these children's almost childish thoughts, Lin Yuan was amused and relieved. If Xiao Linzi knew that the children he worried about every day also thought of him every day, he would be very happy.

The children didn't want to leave, so Lin Yuan settled her mind and looked at the account books with shopkeeper Wu. Lan Hua couldn't help but tell Lin Yuan what happened in the past month.

"Lin Yuan, you don't even know that our Zhuma Town has been very busy this month!" Lan Hua poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Yuan, her eyes lit up: "I heard that there are many important events in the capital this year. The annual imperial examination, the annual imperial business competition. Zhuma Town is so close to the capital, many businessmen and students pass by us! There are also many people who come to our tofu shop to buy tofu What! When they saw our tofu, they all said yes to it, and they even said that we should also participate in the Imperial Merchant Competition!"

Shopkeeper Wu put away the account books, and said to Lin Yuan with a smile: "Miss Lanhua, she has been talking all day long that we should also go to the capital to register for a competition or something. It's in the bag."

"What do you mean maybe, Uncle Wu, it should be sure!" Lan Hua smiled and glanced at Lin Yuan, hoping that she would really leave for the capital to participate in the Imperial Business Competition as she thought.

However, let her down.

Lin Yuan glanced at Lan Hua with a smile, and said angrily, "Then you won't be able to hold the Imperial Merchant Competition? You can participate if you say you can participate? I really thought it was going to the street market!"

Lan Hua pouted: "What? Not all businessmen can go to the Imperial Business Competition? Could it be that it depends on their status? Only those with noble backgrounds can go? If that's the case, then it's better not to go to the Imperial Business Competition. The game depends on the person, what a snobbery!"

"It's not snobbery, it's the rules and procedures." Lin Yuan put down the teacup with a smile, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Lanhua herself, because An's family was also going to participate in the imperial business competition, so when she was in Yecheng, she specifically asked Xia Ask about these things.

"It is true that everyone can participate in the Imperial Business Competition. As long as you have skills that others do not have and can make very rare things, you can sign up for it. However, it is not ordinary people who can enter the finals."

Although shopkeeper Wu had stayed in Yecheng, he generally didn't have a restaurant that participated in the Imperial Merchant Competition, so he was not very clear about this aspect. Hearing Lin Yuan talking about it at this time, he sat aside and listened very curiously.

Glancing at shopkeeper Wu, Lin Yuan continued, "This competition will go through three rounds of selection. The first round is the recommendation of the local magistrate, the second round is the tasting of the special person in the capital, and the third round is the performance in front of the imperial court to compete for the final selection. Known as the Royal Merchant."

It turned out to be so troublesome!
Lan Hua curled her lips, drank her tea silently and stopped talking.

But Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something: "You said Xiao Linzi left, when did he leave?"

Lan Hua thought for a while: "Ten days ago."

"Ten days?"

Lin Yuan rubbed her soft fingertips on the teacup, and frowned slightly. Did Xiao Linzi go to the capital?His family should also be in business.But, is the capital his home, or those who went to the capital to participate in the imperial business?

Some past events about Xiao Linzi came to my mind. This kid may not have a bad temper, but just looking at his behavior, he should be from a wealthy family, but I don’t know why he suddenly left and wandered to Zhuma Town?
I couldn't figure it out, so I stopped thinking about it, and talked to Lan Hua for a while, Lan Hua suddenly took Lin Yuan's hand very seriously, and said gratefully: "Lin Yuan, I want to thank you for our family."

It was rare to see an orchid like this, and Lin Yuan was still a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Being so solemn makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Lan Hua glared at her, and said with a smile: "Come on! But Lin Yuan, to be honest, I should have told you this thank you a long time ago. I, my mother, and my elder brother, if it wasn't because of your point, I would have given you my thanks. I'm afraid we can't live so well now. You know, my elder brother's shop is in good business now. Many rich people in our town come to my elder brother's shop to buy wardrobes. Just the day before yesterday, there was a tea tree town The person who came here specially ordered three wardrobes, saying that one is for each of the three children!"

"Isn't that Brother Changqing's craftsmanship is good? You see there are several wardrobe shops in our town, and other people's business is not good."

Lin Changqing's craftsmanship is indeed getting better and better. Since he got Lin Yuan's advice and started selling wardrobes, many colleagues saw the benefits and followed suit.However, compared with Lin Changqing's carving skills, those people are far behind. Lin Changqing is not only good at craftsmanship, but also smart, and often comes up with some tricks by himself.Coupled with Lin Jiaxin's point, it is no wonder that Lin Changqing's business is not booming.

"Hehe, it's true. Some of those people think my elder brother's things are expensive, but compared with other stores, hehe, they all come back to buy my elder brother's wardrobe again." Lin Yuan beamed with joy. , suddenly approached Lin Yuan and said mysteriously: "Oh, by the way, did Aunt Liu tell you about my elder brother?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Yuan shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't know, Lanhua's potential for gossip broke out again, and she became more and more excited: "I didn't say it? That's great, let me tell you. Your mother introduced a girl to my elder brother, she is Aunt Liu's good sister." My niece and niece have nothing to say about their character and appearance. Not to mention my eldest brother, even if I see him, I like him, and my mother is so happy that she can't wait to marry her in."

"You've seen it too?" Seeing Lan Hua's happy words, Lin Yuan's interest also rose.

"I've seen it." At this point, Lan Hua laughed happily, covered her mouth and smiled for a while before continuing under Lin Yuan's repeated questioning: "You don't know, my new sister-in-law often comes to my house Help my mother pickle vegetables. She works neatly and is not too tired, or my mother likes it more and more! But my mother is worried that she will be tired, so she asks her to help in my elder brother's shop. My new sister-in-law , is about to enter the door!"

Lin Changqing's age is already relatively old in Linjia'ao, and there are really not many people at his age who have not married yet.In the past, Lanhua's family conditions were not very good, and no one helped to introduce her. The only one who had an introduction was something like Sister Pan'er.

But now it’s better, their family’s conditions are better, and it just so happens that Liu’s good sister is also looking for a partner for her niece and daughter. The two have never mentioned it before, but when they talked about it this time, Liu quickly told Lin Changqing .Unexpectedly, these two people really saw the right eye.

"That's right, if your elder brother is married, you, the younger sister, can also be married!" Lin Yuan winked her eyes, nudged Lan Hua's arm with her elbow, and approached her with a smile to make fun of her.

There is this custom in their village, the older children can't get married, and the younger ones can't get married, otherwise it will harm the older children.Although this is a superstition, everyone in the village adheres to it, so at first Lin Yuan was a little worried about the orchid and the pony.

"You, you are serious! Why are you talking about me again! I won't tell you!" Lan Hua curled her lips, got up and went back to the warehouse to check the newly bought soybeans.

Seeing Lan Hua's back running like a rabbit, Lin Yuan laughed until her stomach ached, but she was also very happy to see that everyone around her was getting better.

Coming out of the tofu shop, Lin Yuan saw Xia Zhengzheng looking at her resentfully.

"Huh? What's the matter with Mr. Xia? Are you unhappy after not seeing him for a while?" Lin Yuan punched Xia Zheng's forehead in a funny way as she got into the carriage.

He stretched out his hand to pull Lin Yuan onto the carriage. Xia Zheng hugged her and got into the carriage. He also knocked down the curtain of the carriage, and the light in the carriage dimmed a bit.

"You asked knowingly." Xia Zheng leaned his head on Lin Yuan's neck, greedily inhaled the fragrance of her body, and smacked his mouth like he was eating something delicious.

Lin Yuan was itchy from the heat he exhaled, she twisted her body involuntarily, and said with a smile, "I don't know."

"Don't you know?" Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Look at her orchids, how she looks when she meets her sweetheart, and then look at you, hmph, when will you look at me like that?"

It turned out that this guy was jealous!
Lin Yuan, who knew the reason, couldn't help but couldn't help laughing and crying, squinting her eyes and said angrily: "So you like a woman like Lanhua, it's hard to say, look at that Su Qiuyu, if you like it, you can go back to the capital." go!"

Xia Zheng said "Oops" in his heart, and quickly explained: "Yuan'er, I didn't mean that, I didn't like that, I meant, it's you, that, can you be a little, a little shy, you are now Seeing me is like seeing a partner, and I feel uncomfortable."

Lin Yuan couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, as if she wasn't a woman, but was she like that?Every time she sees Xia Zheng, she is very happy and happy in her heart!
"Okay, okay, then I will do the same next time I see you, like this, okay?" Lin Yuan said while making a shy and lowered head, but she couldn't pretend after just doing two, and she sneezed laughed out.

Xia Zheng pretended to groan, and couldn't hold back the laughter he had held back for a long time.

"Okay, let's get down to business." Wiping Lin Yuan's tears from laughing, Xia Zheng held her hand solemnly, and asked, "Yuan'er, what did the little white rabbit tell you when he returned to Beijing? are you sure?"

Before Zhao Hongde returned to Beijing, he had repeatedly invited her to the capital. Not only Zhao Hongde, but also Princess Anle had said many times when she left Zhuma Town years ago. It's already here.

Looking at Xia Zheng's shining eyes, Lin Yuan knew that this matter had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

I didn't say it before, because I was afraid that she would not be willing to leave her hometown, and also because she was afraid that she would go to the capital to suffer.But it's different now, Lin Yuan's wings are getting fuller and fuller, and there are still people in the capital who miss her.Moreover, in Xia Zheng's view, with Lin Yuan's ability, she was really wronged to live in the small town of Zhuma.

"This." Lin Yuan's heart warmed as she looked at your hopeful eyes, and she really couldn't bear to let him down, "Actually, I've thought about it a long time ago. From the very beginning, I hoped to open my own restaurant. It’s just that I met you later and let me pick up a half-way bargain. Although life is very stable now, I don’t want to give up my dream. Ah Zheng, I will go to the capital, and I want to open a restaurant of my own in the capital. I want to bring out all my culinary skills."

Hearing Lin Yuan's decision, Xia Zheng was both excited and happy: "Yuan'er, your dream is my dream."

Although there are no more guarantees, Lin Yuan knows that this matter has become the most important thing in Xia Zheng's heart.

Xia Zheng rubbed Lin Yuan's soft palm, and smiled: "Then when do you plan to go to the capital? I don't have any other intentions. Didn't the little white rabbit give you a house? I have to send someone to help you in advance." You clean up the house!"

And the shop he stole from his elder brother had to be cleared out in advance.

This stumped Lin Yuan. There were still some things to do in Zhuma Town, and I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to go this year.

"Probably next year!"

Xia Zheng suddenly moved closer, and his voice was soft and watery: "Big brother will get married in March next year, let's go together, shall we?"

The meaning of this is that she hopes that she can arrive in the capital before March.

Rubbed Xia Zheng's neat bun.Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."

……

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and more and more guests who come to eat ask to chill the dishes with ice cubes before eating. Even sister-in-law Guizhi's Liangpi no longer sells heated ones.

According to Lin Yuan's usual style, there should be new dishes at this time.

Even some old customers who frequent Fumanlou have asked shopkeeper Wu more than once when new products will be released.

When Lin Yuan heard shopkeeper Wu talking about this, she couldn't help smiling: "It seems that the ice cubes I asked you to prepare should be used."

In fact, there are many dishes in summer, as long as they are refreshing and delicious, ordinary dishes can be eaten chilled, and rice wine can also be drunk chilled.

As for the edible ice cubes, Lin Yuan also used them to make cold drinks.Use a sharp knife to shave the ice cubes into crumbs, add juice squeezed from fresh fruits on top, add various pulps and dried fruits, and it becomes a cup of shaved ice with rich materials and good taste.

In addition, you can also cut the ice cubes into smaller pieces, then mix the ice shavings with cooked red bean paste, and add some candied cherries or raisins to make a cold and sweet red bean paste ice.As soon as this red bean smoothie was launched, it was favored by ladies in the boudoir and sold very well.

In addition, Lin Yuan also came up with many other fresh cold drinks. While discussing with shopkeeper Wu, the clerk at the door suddenly came over and said that Mr. Meng Liangdong from Chengnan School had come.

　Haha, do you know who it is~
　　Recommend a friend Lai Pi's new book, come and hook up
