Chapter 36 Rivals in Love
An Wan persuaded Nie Ying several times, but when the food was really served, the entire table was still covered, so rich that the diners next to them couldn't help but look at each other.
An Wan and Luo Yelin sat at the table together. After looking at the amount of food, they looked at each other and saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.
In the end, An Wan simply took advantage of the lack of people now and invited Song Jian, Song Qin and Nie Ying to come for dinner together.
After dinner, Luo Yelin suddenly thought of something and spoke to An Wan: "Miss An happened yesterday, and I did not let the workers who renovated the inn come over... Let them come over in the afternoon and continue to clean up the inn next door. What do you think?"
An Wan’s requirements for this matter were not high, so she nodded without thinking much, “Yes… If they are busy, it doesn’t matter tomorrow, and I’m not in a hurry.”
"Okay." Luo Yelin responded, then walked into the small courtyard of the hotel, found a place that others could not see, and called the secret guards out softly, asking them to call those people to come and clean up the inn.
This group of people has been conquered by Luo Yelin in the past month, so as soon as Luo Yelin was summoned, they rushed over quickly and entered the inn and started to renovate them locally.
This inn covers a considerable area, and this time, coupled with the second floor where the original residents were, it can barely join the ranks of "hotels".
The big hotels in Jincheng are well-informed, so after hearing that the recent famous "Yuanju Pavilion" is about to be expanded, they all have their own plans.
However, most of them are very confident in their own strength and feel that no matter how big the Yuanju Pavilion is, it is impossible for them to suffer too much loss... Moreover, the prince is standing behind the Yuanju Pavilion, so it is still safe and stable. If you can avoid causing trouble, don’t cause trouble.
However, these hotels are waiting and see the rise of Anwan Hotel, but one hotel can't sit still.
The reason is nothing else, just because this store is just opposite Yuanju Pavilion.
Although their hotel is not in the most prosperous city center, it is located at the gate of the crowded city, and its business is also very good. During the best business period, it can even compete with the century-old hotel in the center of the city.
But after Anwan's hotel opened, their business fell significantly. Although it may be due to the traffic, the small restaurants opposite were crowded and they were deserted. This contrast really made people feel unhappy.
Now Yuanju Pavilion is going to expand its scale again... Will it have a stronger impact on their business?
A woman with a good appearance paced back and forth on the top floor of the hotel, thinking about the hotel business.
But she said she was considering her career, but in fact, all kinds of rumors that Luo Yelin was gentle and gentle towards An Wan, as well as the beautiful rumors about An Wan.
She is Liu Mingxi, the eldest daughter of the Liu family of Jincheng's second largest family. She is a well-known chef in the entire Jincheng. She also started from scratch with her superb human control skills and superb craftsmanship.
Even though she is now eighteen or nineteen years old, she is over the age of getting married and becoming an old girl, the family still has no idea of begging her for others - one is because she has an excellent career, and the other is because she is determined to marry Prince Ye.
Luo Yelin was once the dream lover of all the girls in Jincheng, but because of the news spread by the maids of the royal palace, many girls' dreams shattered and they sadly gave up their love for Luo Yelin.
But Liu Mingxi is different from those blind women. After hearing the news, she immediately went to find someone she knew in the royal palace to inquire about the accuracy of the rumor.
After knowing that this statement was actually nonsense, Liu Mingxi felt aroused and had an idea. He took the money to seal the mouths of most of the servants in the palace, and then bribed the people in the market, allowing them to talk about Luo Yelin's problems in crowded places, and eventually made all the people in Jincheng believe it and think that Luo Yelin really has a problem.
She continued to pursue Luo Yelin persistently, and often made charity in the name of Prince Ye during the Chinese New Year and the festival, setting up a porridge shed, which not only brought Luo Yelin a lot of good reputation, but also made everyone in Jincheng understand that Liu Mingxi, the daughter of the Liu family, was determined to win the prince.
But to outsiders, the relationship between Liu Mingxi and Luo Yelin must be good, and even the Liu family thinks that Liu Mingxi can definitely become Luo Yelin's concubine... But only Liu Mingxi herself understands that Luo Yelin has no love for her at all, and even wishes to leave her a clear relationship with her.
...It was just because of Luo Yelin's personality that he was unwilling to let a woman lose face, so he never rejected her in public, but just returned all the money she spent on building a porridge stand to him in private.
But the more Luo Yelin did this, the more persistent Liu Mingxi became.
After hearing that the female boss of Yuanju Pavilion opposite him had the green eyes of Luo Yelin, he not only often went to her shop to have dinner and chat, but also invited her to live in the royal palace. Even though she was calm and self-control, she couldn't help but feel anxious.
What she had worked hard for so long but couldn't get, how could this woman without power, power and money easily hold it in her hands? Is it all based on her good looks?
Liu Mingxi had heard of An Wan's excellent appearance, but he didn't have much thought about it, nor did he have the desire to take a look.
And now, she couldn't help but want to go to the restaurant opposite to have a meal and see what's good about An Wan.
It was afternoon, and Luo Yelin had already returned to the royal palace, and An Wan was instructing Nie Ying to cook in the kitchen.
Liu Mingxi stood outside the door of Yuanju Pavilion, looked up at the plaque on the store door for a while, and slandered these words in his heart for a while, then he raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks reluctantly, pulled out a smile on his face, and then walked into the hotel.
There are not many people in the store now, and Liu Mingxi doesn't often appear in front of people on weekdays, so the diners present don't recognize her.
She breathed a little relieved in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel disappointed.
As soon as he walked into the hotel, Liu Mingxi saw a pretty woman coming over with a bell, and greeted her in a crisp voice: "Girl, please sit down, what do you want to eat? The dishes here are delicious, I recommend these dishes..."
Song Qinyou kept talking, but Liu Mingxi looked at her face intently, thinking to himself whether she was Miss An, who was praised by others?
It turns out that everyone was boasting too much. She looked at at most a "beautiful woman", and the words "beautiful" were not even touched.
Liu Mingxi thought about this and felt a little more contented in his heart. He interrupted Song Qin directly and looked up at her: "Are you the 'Miss An' of this store?"
Miss An?
Song Qin was stunned for a moment, and after a while he realized, he quickly shook his head: "Miss, I'm just a small employee in the restaurant, and I dare not compare with Sister An." She said, turned her head and looked in the direction of the kitchen, and at the same time she nodded: "Girl, look, Sister An is teaching Brother Nie to cook in the kitchen... If the girl has something to do with Sister An, I will call her over?"
Although she said this, Song Qin's steps did not move even for a moment.
As a woman, she could clearly feel Liu Mingxi's hostility towards An Wan. Although she didn't know where this hostility came from, it was not a good thing for An Wan.
Liu Mingxi also felt Song Qin's repulsion towards her, so he lowered his head embarrassedly and flipped the menu that Song Qin handed her casually. Nothing happened, but he felt ashamed and angry.
When she heard An Wan's beauty, she planned to come over and compare, but she recognized the wrong person... This was really the most embarrassing scene for her in more than ten years.
Liu Mingxi, who didn't want to talk, hurriedly ordered a few dishes, and then watched Song Qin leave, before he breathed a sigh of relief, but his dissatisfaction with An Wan became stronger and stronger.
The woman said she "dare not to compare with Sister An", so she had to see how beautiful the "Sister An" she mentioned was!
Thinking so angrily, Liu Mingxi lowered his head and ate the cold dish sent by Song Jian, but the next moment he forgot what he was thinking about - because this dish was so delicious.
Liu Mingxi claims to be one of the top chefs in Jincheng. She has tasted countless delicacies and seafood. She realizes that she will never have any stunning taste in the future.
But the oath she made just half a year ago was broken by this cold dish.
She slowly chewed the leaves in her mouth twice, then looked up at the diners around her, staring at the figures that appeared faintly in the kitchen smoke for a moment, and finally gave up on the exploring of the appearance of the woman in the kitchen, lowered her head and began to taste the delicious food seriously.
When Song Jian delivered the next dish, Liu Mingxi realized that he had almost finished a whole plate of cold dishes, and did not even have any staple food.
As soon as Liu Mingxi took the dishes handed over by Song Jian, he planned to put them on the table and continued to raise chopsticks to taste them, he felt a sudden restlessness around him.
"Miss An, the dishes today are obviously much better. Did you make them?" A diner asked on the table next to him.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle female voice replied: "It's not all that I did, but when I was guiding Brother Nie, I just demonstrated a few games for him."
Liu Mingxi was stunned, holding the chopsticks, and didn't know whether to pick them up or not, or not eat first, and look at An Wan's appearance first.
