Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 897 Hosting a Banquet (Part [-])
After a series of provincial and imperial examinations, the top three in this scientific examination finally appeared.Ma Junying lived up to his expectations and won the title of champion, winning honor for the people of Zhuma Town.

Patriarch Ma brought Ma Xiaonan to the capital from Zhuma Town long before the palace examination, and when he heard that his son was in high school, he immediately sent someone home to report the news.

The No. [-] scholar qualifying, it is reasonable to say that he wants to entertain relatives, friends and classmates.According to Ma Bowen, the banquet was held at Zuixianlou, the best restaurant in the capital. Although the price was a bit more expensive, it was to celebrate his son after all, and his face was bright.

But Ma Junying disagreed, and insisted on arranging the location in the cave. As for the reason, I am afraid that only he himself knows.

Dongtian is a new star that has just emerged in the capital recently. Although it is not as old as Zuixianlou, it has a very good reputation in the capital because of the delicious food and the various decorations inside are very distinctive.

Coupled with the fact that the owner is an acquaintance, Ma Bowen reluctantly agreed.

However, when Ma Junying sent someone to Dongtian to fix the place and time, it happened that Xia Zheng was also there.

Glancing at the vinegar jar, Lin Yuan gritted her teeth secretly, and before Xia Zheng could do anything, she refused first: "I'm really sorry, it seems that there can't be so many people in the lobby of our cave, so I invite Ma Zhuangyuan go……"

"Hey!" Xia Zheng suddenly interrupted Lin Yuan's words in a meandering way: "It is a great joy and blessing for our Dongtian to be able to hold a banquet for this year's imperial examination champion. Don't say that the place is small, it's just a matter of demolishing the walls." Let Ma Zhuangyuan do it here!"

Looking at the boy, Xia Zheng slapped his chest and said, "I told you Ma Zhuangyuan when I went back, that we have concluded his business in Dongtian. Originally, our boss and you Ma Zhuangyuan are also from the same hometown, so we should give it to you." Ma Zhuangyuan offers the best discount."

The boy's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to thank him, he heard Xia Zheng's tone change, swallowing back what he had just said.

"It's just that Ma Zhuangyuan is a champion who can only appear once every three years! The family is also a rich man, how can he not even have this little money for food? Tsk tsk, if I discount it, it is against our champion An insult from Lang! So, when I go back, I will tell you Zhuangyuan Lang that we can’t do such insulting things in Dongtian, we must supply at the original price, and we have to clear the store, welcome Zhuangyuan Lang to come! "

The corners of the boy's mouth twitched and his fists were about to convulse, but he didn't dare to say anything out of line, for fear of discrediting his champion, so he responded with a smile.

Seeing the servant's slightly trembling back, Lin Yuan was angry and funny, slapped Xia Zheng's chest, and said, "You bastard! Did you do it on purpose?"

Xia Zheng blinked his innocent eyes, rubbed his hands gently on his chest, and had a look of enjoying the beating on his face: "What is it on purpose? Isn't what he said just now the truth? Besides, Zhuangyuan Lang , we just opened this year, and he chose to hold a banquet in our Dongtian. We don’t need to deliberately publicize this, let alone the capital, the whole Dayong will know the name of our Dongtian! It’s you, so stupid, actually Push the guests out!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and poked Lin Yuan's forehead mercilessly.

Lin Yuan rubbed her brow that was red from his poke, and muttered softly: "I'm not afraid that you, a jealous jar, will be jealous!"

Now that she has taken over the business, Lin Yuan has to do her best to start the preparations, from the setting of the room to the placement of every dish on the table, she does it herself.It even launched a new dish called Xidengke specially for Ma Junying, the number one scholar.

Although the name is Xidengke, in fact that thing is very simple, it is the ants of later generations climbing the tree.But for the sake of the occasion, she specially made a mess of fans into a shape. In the middle is a pier shaped like a small tree cut out of carrots, and sticks of carrots are inserted on top to make branches, so as to prevent fans from falling from the branches. drop down.

After wrapping the vermicelli and minced meat on the "tree", she also asked the helpers to peel several radish flowers and place them on the tree branch, and finally put some coriander leaves.

After so many decorations, the original bare ants climbing the tree has a new look, and it really brings a little joy.

Although this dish is simple, it is even rarer and more precious because fans are something that only Dongtians have.

After seeing it, Xia Zheng slapped the table and blurted out: "Okay! This dish will be our Dongtian's signature dish from now on! If you eat it, you will be able to become the number one scholar! So, 50 taels of silver a plate!"

Listening to the previous words, everyone still thought it was quite normal, but when they heard the latter words, everyone present couldn't help being dumbfounded.Lin Yuan's legs were even weaker, and she supported the table, 50 taels of silver, this Xia Zheng is really tricky!Speaking of which, the vermicelli was worth some silver on this dish, but it was only ten taels at most. It was good for him, as soon as he touched his mouth, the number he said seemed to be blown by a strong wind.

Lin Yuan waved her hand and winked at shopkeeper Liu: "Ten taels."

"20 taels!"

As soon as she finished winking, she was spotted by Xia Zheng unexpectedly. Lin Yuan was speechless and compromised: "Okay, 20 taels."

It's better than 50 taels, isn't it?

On the day when the No. [-] Scholar hosted the banquet, Lin Yuan got the boys busy early. Not only Ma Junying's classmates and friends, but also many officials from the DPRK and China were coming to eat today.After all, the champion of the new department has not been given an official yet, and at the very least, he will be a fifth rank.With such a high starting point, if you make some political achievements in the future, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to increase your rank?

So Ma Junying hosted a banquet, as long as the officials with a clear mind usually came.

This can add a lot of glory to Lin Yuan's Dongtian. When the cave opened before, it did attract a lot of people. This is an opportunity to see how unique this legendary cave is.

Lin Yuan naturally thought of this too, so today she specially arranged for a master chef to perform roast suckling pig for everyone on the open space on the first floor.Because summer is coming soon, the happiest thing in summer is eating barbecue and drinking beer at night. There is no beer now, but there are hawthorn wine and other kinds of fruit wine provided by Liu's winery, which is also suitable for the occasion.

This roasted suckling pig was also specially added by Lin Yuan today. The little piggy was naturally prepared a long time ago. It was marinated with honey, soy sauce, salt and other seasonings one day in advance, and the body of the little piggy was prepared with two wooden sticks this morning. Put it in on both sides, and then bake it on the fire.

The stove used for baking is also specially made, in fact, it is a big pot with a round belly, and a lot of big forbidden firewood is put in it.

Because when roasting suckling pig, lard falling into the fire will produce some smoke, so Lin Yuan asked the boys to set up the shelf near the window, and specially surrounded the shelf with wooden boards, just because she was afraid of oil. After the fishy fish splashed out, the guests were scalded.

People who come to eat usually sit in the lobby, and those with status or higher official positions will be arranged in private rooms. As for those special restaurants, Lin Yuan is not open, but let the maids in kimono and Hanfu clothes We also set up a special table in the corner of the lobby, on which are some special dishes such as sushi and cold noodles.Any guest who wants to try it can tell the guy or the girls who pass the dishes and ask them to serve it.

However, due to the large number of people, all special dishes are only served on one plate per table.Such a limited supply of meals aroused everyone's strong interest, and they called for the boys to serve the dishes.

Looking at the noisy but orderly lobby in front of her, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing. Today's business is really right, and it really made another excellent publicity for Dongtian.

Looking up at the direction of the second floor, Lin Yuan's smile became a little unpredictable.

Apart from Ma Junying's classmates and some fellow countrymen among the guests who came today, a few people are naturally indispensable.The second prince, Zhao Hongde, was naturally one. Thinking of Tang Ruyan and An Yueer who were with him when he just entered the door, Lin Yuan felt uncomfortable.

That's all for Tang Ruyan, whether she really likes Zhao Hongde or just for the position of imperial concubine, it has nothing to do with her.But what about An Yueer?That silly girl was still cheerfully following Zhao Hongsheng. Didn't she notice that Wu Jiangtao looked at her in the wrong way?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan's teeth itch with anger. Zhao Hongsheng saw Wu Jiangtao's lewd eyes, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

What does it mean?remind?Or warning?or...

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Yuan couldn't help but shudder.Now that Zhao Hongsheng has the rich man of the Jiangnan Wu family by his side, the An family will naturally no longer be in his eyes. If he sent An Yueer away in order to win over the Wu family, wouldn't An Yueer be in great danger now?

Biting her lips tightly, Lin Yuan's hand holding the writing brush tightened even more. When Chen Ji Buzhuang opened last time, she felt that something was wrong, and she had already reminded An Jie.Unexpectedly, this time, An Yue'er followed me in a foolish way!

"What a fool!"

Throwing down the writing brush in her hand, Lin Yuan found another young man who was not very busy to report to An Jie.An's family and Ma Junying were neither from the same hometown nor had any contact with each other, so naturally they didn't come to the banquet this time.

After a while, An Jie came in person, nodded gratefully when he saw Lin Yuan, and went down to the private room on the second floor under the guidance of the boy.

An Jie is An Yue'er's real brother, so if he wants to take his sister away, he can just tell a lie.

Seeing that An Jie brought down the sad-faced An Yueer, Lin Yuan was somewhat relieved.

It's just that An Yue'er didn't seem to appreciate it at all, and when she walked past Lin Yuan, she frowned and glared at her.

Although there was no malice and no lethality, it seemed that An Yue'er also figured out that the reason why she was caught by her brother twice was because she was tipping off the news.

Lin Yuan shrugged helplessly, not taking the little girl's dissatisfaction to heart.

As soon as An Yue'er left, Ma Junying, the champion of this year's imperial examination, came out of the private room with a glass of wine in his hand.Today, he is wearing a black robe, his waist is fastened with a belt of the same color, and two pieces of high-quality suet white jade are pinned to his waist.

Looking from the first floor, Lin Yuan was in a daze. Zhuangyuan Lang was indeed unusual. At this time, Ma Junying felt very different from the Ma Gongzi she had seen before, a little less elegant and a little more. fierce.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that this kind of Ma Junying was not the one she was close to before, and felt very far away and ethereal.

She knew that this was not the reason for the change of status, Xia Zheng was more noble than Ma Junying, but she never felt the slightest sense of superiority over Xia Zheng or Xia Zhen.

Yes, superiority, distance, this is how Ma Junying feels now.

"Everyone!"

Ma Junying spoke suddenly, pulling Lin Yuan back from her thoughts.

I saw him in the corridor on the second floor, raising his wine glass high, and condescendingly said to the classmates, fellow countrymen, and friends sitting in the lobby: "Everyone, Mr. Ma is very grateful to all of you for being able to attend the banquet today, and I am also very grateful to everyone for your support in the past. Ma's care, here, I just express my gratitude with a glass of thin wine. Everyone, please!"

When the words fell, he held the bottom of the cup with his left hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yuan pursed her lips and continued to look at her account books.

However, just as she lowered her head, she heard Ma Junying call out to herself abruptly: "Miss Lin, thank you for your hospitality today, I'm sorry!"

Lin Yuan raised her head and met Ma Junying's smiling eyes, she couldn't help being slightly absent-minded. Was it all an illusion before?The gentle and gentle Mr. Ma didn't leave?Isn't this the same Mr. Ma who talked and laughed with her in the snow and watched the children play?

"Young Master Ma..."

"Oh! Zhuangyuan Lang is so polite!"

Before Lin Yuan could finish her sentence, she felt that her body was tightly clamped by a big hand, and then Xia Zheng's slightly provocative voice sounded in her ears: "Our Dongtian is open for business, let alone the number one scholar. Yes, even if someone comes to the No. [-] spot in another day, we will still treat him with hospitality. Of course, as long as we pay, we will treat him with hospitality. Don’t you think so, lady?”

Seeing Xia Zheng's smiling face that suddenly grew bigger in front of her, Lin Yuan's head went short and she ignored his "lady" for a moment, and all she could think about was "so handsome" and "so charming".

Ma Junying was getting close to Lin Yuan, but he was cut off halfway by Xia Zheng again, but he was so angry that his nose was crooked.I saw Xia Zheng go out just now, why did he suddenly run back!

Although he was angry, but with so many people in front of him and many officials in the court, he couldn't show an expression of discord with the second son of the general's mansion, otherwise, he would definitely be taken advantage of by those who cared.

Without saying anything, Ma Junying raised his wine glass, drank it down as if venting his anger, and then turned back to the private room.

Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Ma Junying's back, and suddenly felt something wrong in his heart.
