Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 899 So Expensive?
With a sneer in his heart, Xia Zheng threw the account book in front of Ma Junying. Ma Junying took a deep look at him and bowed his head.

The neck was suddenly stiff as a rock, and it was difficult to lift it up again.

5000 two!
Yes, 5000 taels are clearly written on the account books.

"Why, so expensive?" Ma Junying even wondered if the voice came from his own mouth, it was so hoarse and difficult.

The corner of Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, and she stretched out her hand to take the account book, but Xia Zheng's hand was faster: "Oh, champion, you don't know, this is because my kiss Yuan'er gave you a discount Preferential price! Actually, I don't agree with her discount, after all, you are the number one scholar, why would you care about such a small discount?"

Ma Junying's eyelids turned livid, he was very concerned, very concerned.

However, no matter how much you care about it, you are too embarrassed to say "cheaper" in front of your beloved.

Xia Zheng also calculated this point for him, knowing that he would definitely not bargain in front of Lin Yuan, he sneered and felt complacent in his heart.This is the fate of wanting face and suffering, but it's what you deserve. It's not good to like someone, and you have to grab a woman for him!
Looking at Ma Junying and Xia Zheng, Lin Yuan hurriedly explained: "Mr. Ma, the price of our Dongtian really needs to be higher. There are thirty tables in the lobby alone, and each table has five or six signature dishes. , plus sushi and cold noodles, this is already nearly 3000 taels of silver. Add in the various private rooms on the second floor, and the drinks we specially provide, we..."

"That's right!" Afraid that Lin Yuan would say something about the discount again, Xia Zheng quickly took over her conversation, and continued: "And, when every customer leaves, we also provide free pastry! This rice flower-flavored pastry You should know how delicious and expensive it is, so I don’t need to say more? Anyway, we didn’t ask you for more money today. It's not enough either!"

Looking at the stack of bank notes on the counter with distaste, Xia Zheng curled his lips very bluntly, as if he looked down on his stinginess.

Not only did Xia Zheng look down on him, but even Lin Yuan shook her head silently in her heart. It stands to reason that this Ma Junying has been in the capital for a long time, so how could he not know the market conditions of Zuixianlou and Dongtian?He only took 1000 taels of silver, hey!

At this time, Ma Junying was so regretful that his guts were almost green. The reason why he set the banquet in Dongtian was to show Lin Yuan his sense of superiority after becoming the number one scholar.But, he obviously made an inquiry, it doesn't cost so much money!
Seeing that Ma Junying remained silent for a long time, Xia Zheng sneered slightly, and reminded him: "Zhuangyuan Lang? What are you thinking? Why, do you think there is something wrong with today's accounts? How about this, do you want me to ask someone to re-calculate for you? once?"

"No need!" Ma Junying frowned tightly, narrowed his eyes, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

Champion man?Heh, Xia Zheng's repeated words of Zhuangyuanlang are simply the greatest shame to him.He really wanted to open his mouth, and took out another large stack of banknotes from his bosom, slammed it on the face of Xia Zheng who was laughing hard, and then cursed, "Get out of here! "

However, he didn't have the confidence.

After learning that Ma Junying was qualified to take part in the imperial examination, his father, Ma Bowen, had already chosen a courtyard for his son in the capital.Even if the son can't become the number one scholar, as long as he takes part in the palace examination, he can more or less be appointed as a minor official.

Sure enough, he was the No. [-] pick.Ma Bowen immediately bought the house with money.The mansion in the capital was so expensive that it almost used up most of their family property, plus the subsequent decoration, and the money he had collected since he became an official, it almost emptied the entire Ma family.

At this moment, where could he get 5000 taels of silver?
Just when Ma Junying was so embarrassed that his face was about to swell into a purple eggplant, while Xia Zheng curled his lips to watch the show, a young man suddenly appeared, took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the counter with a smile: " Young master, you forgot to take the bank note, and the younger one brought it to you."

Ma Junying was taken aback, this young man is not his servant at all?
ah!No, this young man is obviously someone next to the Second Prince!

What about this bank note?Naturally, it was also sent by the second prince.

Ma Junying frowned thickly, narrowed his eyes, looked at the bank note with some hesitation, accept?Or do you not accept it?
Although Ma Junying recognized this young man as the second prince Zhao Hongsheng, Xia Zheng did not recognize him.Firstly, Zhao Hongsheng purposely picked the most inconspicuous person around him to deliver the banknotes, and secondly, Xia Zheng never saw eye to eye with Zhao Hongsheng, so naturally he didn't pay attention to his little follower.

"Yo! It turns out that Mr. Ma brought the banknotes. You are really extraordinary. You have become the number one scholar, and you have to let the boys hold the banknotes!" The good show didn't turn out, Xia Zheng seemed a little disappointed, But thinking of having so much money in the account, he didn't feel lost for a long time.

Xia Zheng is a man, so maybe he couldn't understand the entanglement on Ma Junying's face, but Lin Yuan was delicate and used to observing words and expressions, so she naturally noticed it.

"Mr. Ma, you should take this bank note back, I..."

"Does Miss Lin look down on me too?" Ma Junying suddenly raised her slightly pale face, her dark eyes were like swirls, and there would be tides gushing out at any moment.

Lin Yuan was slightly taken aback, but before shaking her head, she heard Ma Junying say to the young man, "Thank you, I will remember."

The words were inexplicable, but the young man who brought the banknote smiled happily, made a slight bow and walked out.

Taking a deep look at Lin Yuan, Ma Junying turned around and left without saying anything.

Seeing his inexplicably straightened back, Lin Yuan felt a little worried.

"Tsk tsk, it's boring! Can't this guy just say that he has no money?" Xia Zheng curled his lips boredly, sat aside and played with the jade pendant on his body.

In fact, he didn't have to ask Ma Junying to take out the money today, and Ma Junying also understood what he meant. As long as he let go and promised not to have unnecessary fantasies about Lin Yuan, he can definitely use today's banquet as a meeting ceremony. Give it to him without taking a penny.

Unfortunately, this stubborn guy just refused to let go!

After lunch, Zhao Hongsheng took Tang Ruyan back to the Second Prince's Mansion.After hearing the little follower's reply, Zhao Hongsheng almost grinned his lips to the back of his head in joy.

"Ruyan, your idea is really useful! This prince has been in contact with him several times, but this guy who doesn't like oil and salt just refuses to submit. I didn't expect that you are just such a small scheme. I told him to move him! Haha, wonderful! Wonderful!"

Zhao Hongsheng clapped his hands and laughed, and said two wonderful things in succession, which shows that he is really happy today.

Sitting next to him was Tang Ruyan who was going to the banquet with him today, and she was very happy to be praised by Zhao Hongsheng in this way.

Sitting opposite the two was Xu Bin who was dressed in black with his hands in his cuffs. The interspersed laughter of Jie Jie really makes people shudder.

"Miss Tang is really smart, Xu admires it."

If Tang Ruyan was praised like this by others, Tang Ruyan would definitely feel full of pride, but in front of her was someone who was not as good as a ghost. When this difficult and deep voice heard in her ears, the hairs all over her body stood on end.

However, she had already heard about this person in front of her. He is the second prince Zhao Hongsheng's right-hand man and the most powerful staff member. If she offends him, then she may have a hard time in the future.

Tang Ruyan licked her hair, concealed her flustered expression, nodded with a smile, and said modestly: "Mr. Bin is too much for the prize, in fact, this time is also Ruyan's trick. It just so happens that Ruyan understands the psychology of men in love better. , knowing that he would definitely not want to lose face in front of the one he loves, that's why he happened to capture Ma Junying."

Seeing that Tang Ruyan was so humble and didn't take this opportunity to belittle him, Xu Bin's lips curled up, and then he looked away.

Tang Ruyan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she realize that her palms were already covered in cold sweat.It's strange, the man in front of her is just an aide, how could it make her feel like she's in danger?Is it just because the other party's appearance is too evil?

Glancing secretly and quickly at Xu Bin's hand tightly inserted in the sleeve, Tang Ruyan was filled with suspicion, as if she had never seen Xu Bin's hand come out of the sleeve since she came to the second prince's mansion.Could it be a disability?
Zhao Hongsheng, who was sipping tea, put down the teacup, stretched out his hand to take Tang Ruyan's jade-like little hand, and stroked it lightly: "Although it's a coincidence, you should take good care of your achievements this time."

Turning his head to the side, Zhao Hongsheng's affectionate eyes lingered on Tang Ruyan's face, and regardless of whether Xu Bin was still in the room, he hooked her fingers and raised his eyebrows with ulterior motives: "Tonight, wait for me."

Tang Ruyan was overjoyed, she smiled shyly, bit her lip slightly, nodded her head and left shyly.

It wasn't until Tang Ruyan's figure disappeared before his eyes that the smile on Zhao Hongsheng's face disappeared.

Xu Bin on the side let out a fierce laugh again: "Miss Tang is indeed a smart woman."

"Hmph, is that so?" Zhao Hongsheng took a sip from his teacup, but found that the tea was a little cold, so he put it on the table mercilessly: "It's a pity, it's so stupid!"

Xu Bin sneered, he was really stupid, he got involved with the second prince before they got married, either he was too stupid, or he was too confident.However, he believed in the former more.

Zhuangyuan Lang's reputation is really not great. The news that Ma Junying hosted a banquet in Dongtian to entertain his old friends from his hometown has already spread in the capital that day. Of course, the reputation of Dongtian and the unique and extremely delicious food and cakes have spread throughout the city. .More and more people came to Dongtian to eat, almost every day was unprecedented, and even many wealthy families outside the city also came here admiringly.

At the beginning, they just wanted to enjoy Zhuangyuan Lang's joy, but after eating Dongtian's food, these people's thoughts changed immediately, and they all agreed to come to enjoy it again next time.

Lin Yuan has been busy receiving customers from all over the past few days, and she has no time to think about Ma Junying's embarrassment when she took out the money that day, or she didn't take Ma Junying's matter to heart at all.

"Hey! Yuan'er!"

Lin Yuan, who was concentrating on settling accounts, was interrupted by the sudden cry, and her tense nerves suddenly collapsed. She raised her head and saw the little girl in front of her. She patted her chest and gasped: "Oh! ! You really scared the hell out of me!"

It was Ma Junying's younger sister Ma Xiaonan who appeared in front of him. Since that banquet, Ma Xiaonan has fallen in love with Dongtian's sushi, and has come to Dongtian to eat almost every day. It's only been a few days?She has already eaten all the dishes in Dongtian.

Thinking that those tables full of meals would turn into messes in the end, Lin Yuan wondered if the skinny little girl in front of her was carrying some magic weapon that could change.Just like the gourd in Journey to the West that was told to agree, she yelled "Hey food!" and she put all the food into the gourd.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little lingering, thinking that it was fortunate that she didn't respond when the little girl called her just now, otherwise, would she have also been put into the gourd?
Of course, Ma Xiaonan didn't have such a gourd. If she really had one, then her bottomless belly was this gourd.

"Hey, Yuan'er? What are you thinking?" Seeing Xin Lin Yuan staring blankly with straight eyes, Ma Xiaonan tilted her head and waved vigorously in front of her.

Lin Yuan shook her head, shaking away all the absurd thoughts in her head, then picked up the abacus, shook it, and started to make the abacus: "Oh, Xiaonan, today I I'm so busy, you scared me just now! Go sit there for a while, and chat with you after I finish the calculation. Oh, by the way, there are freshly made pastries over there, which are your favorite Eat almond cake."

Ma Xiaonan pouted, and glanced at the empty table with great reluctance: "It's almond cake again, every time you come here you have something to do, every time I come here you let me eat almond cake, I'm tired of eating it. Eh? Yuan? Son, let's go shopping, shall we? My eldest brother has been busy drinking and walking around with the officials in the court recently, and I don't have time to play with me, and my father is also, the people who come to give gifts at home every day, I am annoyed when I see them Yuan'er, I heard that the rouge and gouache in the east of the city are very good, and the jewelry shop over there is said to be made by a woman herself, and there is only one of each item, shall we go and buy it?"

Lin Yuan flipped through the account book with her left hand, and skillfully calculated with her right hand, and said to Ma Xiaonan, "But I don't have time, you can go by yourself" and continued to settle the accounts without even raising her head.

Ma Xiaonan pursed her lips, looked at the bustling lobby in front of her, and the young guys who were skillfully carrying plates and walking quickly among the crowd, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness.

"Everyone told me that the capital city is lively and prosperous, and they all envied me for coming to the capital city. But I think the capital city is not good at all, and it is not as fun as Majia Village!"

After muttering something silently, Ma Xiaonan didn't bother Lin Yuan any more, turned around and left the cave alone.

After going out, Ma Xiaonan felt even more lonely when he looked at the street that was still bustling with people, but there was no one he knew.Sighing, he planned to take the servant girl home.

"Huh, Miss Ma?"

It was a "coincidence" that Cheng Yuexiu and her maid appeared at the corner of the street, a "coincidence" by fate.

"Miss Ma doesn't seem very happy? What's the matter?" Cheng Yuexiu asked very considerately, but she glanced into the cave, and she saw that Lin Yuan was still busy with her head down, and she couldn't help but secretly happy. .

Because of Cheng Yuexiu's deliberate approach, Ma Xiaonan and Cheng Yuexiu have met several times, and they can be called friends.She was a simple girl with no scheming intentions, so she told Cheng Yuexiu the truth when she asked her about it.

Cheng Yuexiu was even happier, and was worried that she would not have a chance to flatter her, so she was really sleepy and gave her a pillow!

"Although I'm not a native of the capital, I came here two years earlier than Ms. Ma. If Ms. Ma doesn't mind, I'd be more than happy to go out with you!"

Sure enough, after hearing Cheng Yuexiu's words, Ma Xiaonan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands happily, grabbed her arm, and walked towards the east of the city.

Dongtian's business is booming, so naturally some people are happy and some are worried.

In Zuixianlou, Yan Xiangkai flipped through the account books sent by shopkeeper Ling, and his brows became tighter the more he looked at it.

"What, what's going on!"

Shopkeeper Ling had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Although he had expected his boss to be angry, he was still a little apprehensive when he actually met his anger.Not out of fear, but out of shame.He has been in charge of Zuixianlou for so many years, and he has never seen the business of Zuixianlou so bad.

Yes, it's rotten, it's so terrible!
"Boss, this is not the cave! Ever since Ma Zhuangyuan held a thank-you banquet in the cave, almost all the nobles in the capital have gone there for dinner. It's weird that everyone's attention is drawn away by a meal!"

It was originally a sigh, but when Yan Xiangkai heard it, he became even more angry: "I don't know? Shopkeeper Ling, I will leave the Zuixian Tower to you to take care of it. It's all right for you to make such a bad situation for me. He even told me that he didn’t know why the opponent was stronger than us! Haven’t you heard a sentence? Knowing ourselves and the enemy can win a hundred battles, and now we don’t even know where we lost, how will we fight this battle in the future!”

Shopkeeper Ling also panicked. He wiped his forehead, rolled his eyes quickly, and said falteringly: "Maybe, maybe the caveman just put something that shouldn't be put there? Although the old man has never eaten there Things, but I have also sent people to inquire. Everyone said that although there are many tricks in the cave, they are just fancy, and the food always gives people a feeling that they can’t stop eating and want to eat. took that."

that?

　Some things are always delayed these days, so let's change the second every day to one update every day and the second update every day, so that we can alternate, okay?
　　Hehe, today is the first update, everyone, don’t wait, there will be a second update tomorrow, okay~
