lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the female partner (quick pass)!
This is the anti-theft chapter Lin Dan took the initiative to take out a piece of rope and wrap it around his wrist. The two bandits nodded reluctantly and locked the kitchen door before leaving to prevent the peony and cuckoo from running out. The three of them walked to the deepest part of the cottage, and went around to find a cave. The cave was covered with vines. If no one pointed, they would really ignore the past.
Two bandits stripped away the vines and sternly scolded, "Go in and find yourself, move faster!"
Lin Dan used the torches of the two to look inside, and saw that his five carriages were parked in the cave, and there were dozens of large locked boxes, all of which were stolen goods. She walked in with only a quick glance, climbed into one of the carriages, knocked open the mud seal of a big urn, scooped a few spoonfuls of wine with a long spoon, put it into a small empty jar, and quickly covered the kraft paper on the mouth of the urn. , Tie tightly with a rope.
Although she moved extremely fast, and it only took a few breaths to seal the wine urn, but the two bandits still smelled the unspeakable aroma of wine, and it suddenly became a little smoky.
"What kind of wine is this, how can it be so fragrant?" The duo coveted.
"It's just an ordinary drink. I brewed it for fun. It's not worth anything." Lin Dan looked slightly stiff and looked away.
The two bandits took a deep look at her before taking her away. After returning to the kitchen, Lin Dan poured the wine in the jar into the beef stew and stirred slowly with a spatula. The already full-bodied soup became thicker and thicker under her agitation. Each piece of beef stew was wrapped in a layer of bright and slimy juice, and there was a strange aroma permeating it. This scent is nothing short of a sharp weapon, and it pierced the doors and windows of the kitchen and wandered over the cottage, making people fascinated.
"Hurry up, get some beef for us." The bandit who was in charge of guarding Lin Dan and others knocked on the empty bowl and urged.
"Two eldest brothers, the meat hasn't been simmered yet, so I have to wait a while." Lin Dan explained kindly.
"Whether it is rotten or not, as long as it is cooked, you can fish it, what nonsense!" The two bandits were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they were so excited by the smell that they wanted to plunge into the pot to eat. Happy. The other bandits also ran over with the smell, and they wanted to taste the meat in the pot if they said anything. Fortunately, the bandit leader could survive, otherwise the kitchen would have been ransacked.
"What kind of wine did the woman put in the pot so that it can smell like this?" After the bandit leader left the kitchen, he immediately grabbed his subordinates for questioning, twitching his nose from time to time, and sniffing the aftertaste in the air.
"Boss, I'll take you to see." The two bandits offered treasures and said, "There will be a while before the food can be served. How about we brothers drinking first?"
"Okay, go get the wine out." Several people carried the big urn to the main hall, and pulled the kraft paper into it, suddenly dizzy. Without him, this wine is too fragrant. If it is opened and smelled, it is stronger than a normal burning knife, and more mellow than five grains of aging, and saliva has flowed all over the floor before it has been eaten.
"Hurry up and fill it with me, hurry up!" The bandit leader took out a big bowl and shouted. After drinking it all, he froze for a while, then laughed and praised the good drink. The others couldn’t hold back either. One person scooped a bowl of free drinks, and the strong aroma of wine filled the air, drawing more people over...
Originally, Xiaozhu and the others were still getting together to discuss how to escape and how to rescue the shopkeeper. Suddenly they smelled an indescribable smell of meat, they calmed down immediately, and they said firmly, "The shopkeeper is making rice wine stew. Beef!"
"I'm hungry!" a servant murmured, licking his lips.
The others, look at me, and I look at you, wailing all in their belly. As long as the shopkeeper cooks, people who are not hungry will immediately feel hungry. Even the man who closed his eyes and meditation opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the kitchen.
Everyone was quiet for a while and started discussing again, but they didn't expect an overbearing aroma of wine to invade from all directions, making them anxiously red. Caught, beaten, and imprisoned, Xiaozhu, who had never lost control of his emotions, took a sip and cursed, "Mother, these thunderous beasts dare to drink our wine!"
The handsome man who has remained silent suddenly asked, "What kind of wine is this?"
Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "I wonder if you have heard of a legend in Zhongshan County-Liu Xuanshi bought wine from Zhongshan Restaurant..."
The man is very knowledgeable, and immediately said, "Xuanshi is drunk, Thousand Days Wine?"
Xiao Zhu glanced at him in surprise, nodding his head and said: "Yes, this wine is the legendary Thousand Day Liquor. Shopkeeper Lin traveled in Zhongshan County for three years, tossing around many places, and finally restored the recipe of Thousand Day Liquor. After the brewing was successful, it was buried in the ground for seven years. It was only recently dug out, ready to be sold to the capital for a good price. When the wine urn was opened, a wine worm had grown in the urn. The wine was extremely mellow and thick, although it was not People can be drunk for a thousand days, but they can also be drunk for three days and three nights."
"Xuanshi drunk" is an allusion that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said that there is a man named Di Xi in Zhongshan County, who has reached the pinnacle of winemaking skills, and a drunkard named Liu Xuanshi came to buy wine. Dixie sold him a jar of wine, but forgot to tell him that this kind of wine has great stamina and must be temperate. Liu Xuanshi returned home after drinking and died of drunkenness. His family thought he was dead, so he was buried. After a thousand days, Di Xi suddenly remembered this and hurried to find out. The Liu family dug out the buried Liu Xuanshi. It happened that he had just woke up, and there was still a strong smell of wine in his body. The people around him smelled it. I was drunk after seeing it and only woke up in March.
Passed on to later generations, this wine was named Thousand Days Wine, which can be called the true fairy of wine.
The nose is soaked in the fragrance of wine, and the noise of the bandits punching wine fists around his ears. The handsome man licked his dry lips, gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, a bunch of beasts!" The rope broke and stood up with a deep face. He originally wanted to wait until late at night to do it again, but now he couldn't bear it.
"You, you, you, how did you untie the rope?" Xiaozhu and the others stared at him with gaping mouths.
"You stay here first, I'll save Treasurer Lin, and you will come out to join me when you hear the whistle." Afraid that a few people would run wildly and startle the bandits, the Junwei man unchallenged them after untieing them. Then he broke the iron chain on the door bolt with his bare hands, restored it a bit, and dived in the direction of the most meaty smell.
Lin Dan is stir-frying beef tendon, and peony and cuckoo are squeezing the rotten beef into **** and putting them in the milk soup boiled with beef stick bones. Seeing the man pushing the door, the three of them all were taken aback. Lin Dan reacted the fastest and immediately pulled the other in and covered the door with his backhand.
"Why are you here, what about Xiaozhu and the others?" she asked in a low voice.
"I'll save you." The man's weapon has been confiscated by the bandits. At the moment, he is picking out kitchen knives in the kitchen, his tone is very calm, "I will send you out of the cottage first. Going down the creek and waiting for me in the open area at the foot of the mountain, Xiaozhu and I will come afterwards." The scene later will be a bit **** and not suitable for women to watch. He cleaned up the body.
After thinking about it, the man went to Lalindan’s wrist, but was gently pushed away by her, "There are more than 30 thugs in the stockade, you are only one, how can you handle it? You sit down and eat something. , We will be able to go down the mountain later.” While talking, he brought a plate of fried beef with scallions, and then stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into the other's hands.
The man subconsciously took the table and chopsticks, gulped and swallowed a few mouthfuls, his eyes flashed with a light of contentment and enjoyment, and he paused for a moment, his tone was slightly embarrassed: "It's not time to eat, you guys. Come with me!"
"Where are you going, sit and eat!" Lin Dan gently patted the man's outstretched hand, with a slight smile in his voice.
The man looked at the back of his itchy hands, and at Lin Dan's smiling face, he fell silent unknowingly, his eyelids drooping.
The peony and the cuckoo looked at the beef stew that had been emptied in the pot, and complained: "Tell them that the meat is not simmered, and they have to boil it for a while. They want to scoop it out and eat it. It really spoils things!"
"It's a blessing to just ruin things and not ruin people." Lin Dan listened to it, and the smile in his eyes grew. "There is no noise, let's go and see."
The man immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, but Lin Dan pressed his shoulders back, "Sit down, and we will go." Hualuo and the two little girls were holding a plate of hot dishes. Go out. Even if they encounter bandits, they can use the excuse of serving food to cover up, and they are not afraid at all.
The man touched his shoulder with a weird expression, and then he followed closely. The group came to the hall smoothly, and saw that the ground was full of bandits, and a few were lying on the table, snoring like thunder. There was a smell of wine that couldn't be opened in the air, and when the door was pushed, he swooped over, making people unable to walk. Snoring was heard from several other houses, which showed that these bandits could not resist the temptation of Thousand Days Wine after all, and died of drunkenness.
Peony and Cuckoo stood on tiptoes and looked at the wine urn placed in the middle of the hall, gritted their teeth and said: "A jar of wine has been harmed by them!"
Lin Dan touched the heads of the two little girls, and said: "It's fine if there is no harm to people. Let's pack our things and go."
The man looked at the drunks all over the floor with a surprised expression. He never expected that Shopkeeper Lin would solve the matter without any effort. There was no need for anyone else to save him.
Lin Dan bypassed the man and slowly said: "With me, there is nothing that can't be solved by a meal." As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the cottage, and there were faint groups of torches toward this. It's close to each other, and I don't know what happened.
Yes, Lin Dan is indeed planning to leave the Yan family's restaurant when he returns to Beijing this time. She was not unwilling to lose to Yan Langqing, but the predecessor of the Yan’s restaurant was the Lin’s restaurant, which was founded by Lin Baotian. Every signature dish in the restaurant was his painstaking effort. Taking away from the Yan family, is there such a cheap thing in the world?
The Yan family doesn't feel bad, but Lin Dan, who inherited the legacy of the original owner, can't get past that hurdle. Still the same sentence, she has to get it back if she deserves it, and don't give it to her for nothing.
As the saying goes, "Knowing yourself and the enemy will never end in battle." If you want to compete with Yan's restaurant, Lin Dan still has to taste their dishes and see how they taste. But her facial features have not changed much over the years. If the people in the second and third rooms recognize it, she will definitely be messed up, so she can only ask the handsome man to pack a few signature dishes and take them elsewhere to eat.
After eating the food, the two sat in the private room of the tea house and talked. The Junwei man asked in a low voice: "How does Yan's food taste?"
"The craftsmanship is very good, worthy of being an imperial family." Lin Dan said pertinently.
"Compared to you?" The Junwei man hadn't eaten Lin Dan's Lu cuisine, and wanted to try it.
"You'll know when I open the shop." Lin smiled lightly and pushed the door to leave. Although she didn't answer directly, her calm and gentle attitude was enough to show her self-confidence.
The handsome man stared at her upright back, shaking his head and smiling.
The two continued to wander around Qingyun Alley. When they reached a corner, they saw another Lu restaurant. Lin Dan beckoned: "Go in and eat." When opening a store, naturally, I have to find out about the restaurants nearby. Not to mention robbing business, it is always necessary to exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses.
The restaurant is called Qiaoyuan Restaurant. It has two large restaurants, Yanjia Restaurant, and the decoration is extremely luxurious. There are pavilions and small bridges inside, and the environment is extremely elegant. High-ranking officials like to pay attention to ostentation when they go out, and the ostentation of this bridge garden restaurant is far more luxurious than the Yan's restaurant. The business is not bad in theory, but Lin Dan and the man sat in the lobby for a long time and only came to five or six tables. The guest, compared to the guest Xiyun at Yan's Restaurant, is really far behind.
When he had the dishes, Lin Dan found out the reason. Without him, the chefs at this restaurant were not good at making Shandong dishes.
"If you have eaten Yan's food and then come to this restaurant, the taste is one or two grades worse. No wonder you can't keep repeat customers." Lin Dan put down his chopsticks and sighed.
The Junwei man didn't talk, he only waved to let the shop Xiaoer come over to checkout. As soon as Lin Dan took out his purse, he held it down, flipping his wrist, and one and a half small silver ingots fell into the palm of the shopkeeper, paying the bill as fast as he could. The little second in the shop didn't know how this thing appeared when he got the silver, so he scratched his head for a while, puzzled.
Lin Dan was amused, and curled her lips slightly, and talked to the little second of the shop: "Do you want dry food in your restaurant? They are all the top quality I brought from Nanyang, such as abalone, bird's nest, sea cucumber, scallops, etc. Wait. I also have Shanzhen here, and there are many types, which can provide a stable supply of goods for a long time."
In order to support his family, Lin Dan had to do some small business while studying arts. Over time, he set up a caravan specializing in reselling dry goods, bringing the coastal seafood to the inland, and bringing the inland mountain treasures. Going to the beach makes a lot of money by going back and forth.
The shop specializes in noble business, and of course you have to buy top-quality ingredients. The shop Xiaoer didn't dare to call the shots, so he quickly invited the shopkeeper out. The shopkeeper was naturally willing to have a more stable source of goods, and Lin Dan asked his servant to bring the goods to the store for inspection.
The shopkeeper didn't know the quality of the ingredients, so he had to call the chef. This chef has just turned twenty, looks fair and handsome, and looks very immature. Although his craftsmanship is not good, his eyesight is very good. He affirmed: "Abalones are all double-headed abalones, bird's nests are bird swallows at the beginning of the rainy season, and shark fins include sea tiger fins, group fins, and sky-nine fins. They are all good products... fungus is not Ordinary fungus are rock ears picked from the cliffs. They can be called the chief among mountain treasures. They are all good ingredients and are not faked."
When the words fell, he let out a long sigh of relief, seeming to let go of a boulder in his heart. With these top-quality dry goods, I'm not afraid that you won't be able to cook delicious Shandong dishes. He originally had two years to go to the teacher, but his father suddenly fell ill and died. This restaurant was his father's painstaking effort and couldn't manage it properly. But his craftsmanship is still lacking. Since he became a chef, the business in the store has been getting worse and worse, and there are some signs that it is difficult to support. Had it not been for him to be both the chef and the shop owner, the shopkeeper would have chased him away.
"We have all the goods for this batch. Shopkeeper Lin, can you make a price." The chef decisively decided.
Lin Dan gave a reasonable price, not too expensive, but not cheap. Seeing that the other party readily took out the silver ticket, his attitude became more relaxed, "Is there any other restaurants around here, you guys? Give me some pointers, so I don’t have to run the wrong way. Don’t worry, I don’t have any quality products anymore. They are all defective products. Selling to other companies has no effect on you." Selling all the inventory on hand, her funds The gap can be filled.
Chef Junxiu shook his head and said in a bad tone: "There is no other house. There are only Qiaoyuan Fanzhuang and Yanjia Restaurant in the nearby streets. You are outsiders, and Xu does not know that the head of this Yanjia Restaurant It is the imperial chef in the palace, and he is quite powerful. It is not allowed to open a Lu restaurant nearby to grab business with his family."
"But didn't you open it well?" Lin Dan frowned slightly, and the handsome man also showed a stern look.
"My family is not entirely without background. My grandfather served the first emperor, and my father served the queen mother. They were all imperial cooks from the palace. The calligraphy and painting hanging in my hall is the original emperor’s original work. I don't dare to deceive me no matter how rampant it is." Chef Junxiu was proud of his face, but also worried in his heart. Although his family has the background, his craftsmanship is not good. In recent years, he has been in decline. And that Yan Langqing has been the chef of the imperial dining room at a young age, and he is still in the emperor’s heart, and his reputation has long been spread from the palace. outside.
Even if these old gluttons in Xicheng District didn't give her face, they had to give her to the emperor, so the Yan's restaurant became bigger and bigger.
Lin Dan often sends people back to the capital to inquire about the situation, but he also knows how Yan Langqing got here. When she left the Hou Mansion, she worked as a chef in Yan's restaurant. One day the emperor paid a private visit and happened to have a meal in her restaurant. She liked her craftsmanship very much, and had a good chat with her, and then recruited her into the palace. Cooking in the kitchen gradually became favored.
Later on, what happened to Yan Langqing, Lin Dan didn't pay attention anymore, but she didn't know that she had gained power to this point.
I heard the chef continue: "The head of the Yan family is Yan Langqing. Her most famous signature dish is Wanfu meat. The emperor liked it the first time she ate it. Royal chef. I heard that the emperor feels uncomfortable if she doesn't eat the dishes she cooks for a day. You said she should not be spoiled?"
Lin Dan is not interested in Yan Langqing, but he is interested in Wanfu meat. He couldn't help asking: "How is this Wanfu meat so delicious?"
"I don't know either. I heard that Yan Yuchu would let others avoid it when making Wanfu meat, and only she knew the recipe." Chef Junxiu shook his head regretfully.
Lin Dan's face is as usual, but his eyes are all cold, leaving the address and leaving. After leaving the bridge garden restaurant, she immediately went back to the owner of the grocery store, and he said that the money had been collected and the account could be transferred. Sure enough, the boss refused in every possible way and said that after she left, someone paid a high price and bought the shop.
Lin Dan looked at him carefully and found that his eyes were full of painful expressions of rejecting a good deal. What else did he not understand? Multi-party bidding is false, and the strict family warns that it is not allowed to sell the shop to others to open a restaurant in Lu.
Farewell to the boss, Lin Dan has no interest in wandering, and walks back without saying a word.
The handsome man looked at her back and his voice became a little heavy: "I rushed around in the northwest a few years ago, and only recently returned to the capital, and I often have to go out to walk. I don't know that the Yan family has acted so biased."
"Partial?" Lin Dan looked back at him, smiling vaguely.
Soon, the handsome man knew why she laughed like that. It seems that he learned from the grocery store owner that someone was going to open a Lu restaurant on the other side to fight his own house. Yan Shouye sent someone to investigate. But Lin Dan had no power and power and was quickly caught by him. So no matter where Lin Dan wanted to open a store, he would be disturbed by the Yan family. No one in Xicheng District dared to sell her shop, nor in the East District. As soon as the shop in Beicheng District was bought, the seller repented and scam Lin Dan a deposit. Turning around, Lin Dan finally found a shop in Nancheng, located at a pier, with extremely complicated personnel and poor public security, and incidents of robbery and even murder often occurred. Doing business here, don't mention making money, don't lose money for nothing.
So the Yan family was finally satisfied, feeling that they had beaten Lin Dan so hard that they could not get up, so they stopped.
The Junwei man runs around with Lin Dan every day, watching her being made things difficult, squeezed out, and squandered. Only then did he know how the Yan family's behavior can be described as "biased", which is simply "low work". No matter how strong his concentration is, no matter how calm his temper is, there is a heavy anger in his chest. However, Lin Dan has always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude, frowning when encountering difficulties, and quickly relaxed, as if no one or anything can break her.
On this day, Lin Dan took the servants from Nancheng to sort out the shop, while the handsome man stood by the door, scrutinizing passers-by with sharp eyes, his aura was wide open. He would leave in the evening every day, and show up early the next morning. After breakfast at Lin Dan's house, he ran around with her. Fortunately, with his protection, Lin Dan can come and go freely in this chaotic place in Nancheng. Without this bodyguard in the future, she has to hire some strong and reliable guys to show herself the shop.
Thinking of this, Lin Dan sighed: "My business has been done, you don't have to follow me in the future."
The man did not take this, and once again proposed: "The location of this store is not good, I'll change it for you, it's in Xicheng."
