Yan Wenzhi left the academy and drove a carriage to take a long detour to the fish restaurant. It was still early, the fish restaurant was still open, and Lin Nanyi and Gu had not gone home yet.
When they arrived at the fish house, everyone greeted him when they saw that he was alone, and even asked him mysteriously who was the person at lunch.
Only then did Yan Wenzhi realize that he really knew nothing about Qi Qinfeng except his name.
What is certain is that he has no ill intentions towards me. He is fat and naive.
Yan Wenzhi asked casually, "Do you know about the Qi family?"
Luo Wen looked up when he heard this, "Is this the Qi family from Qinghe Town?"
"Um."
Luo Wen put down the brush and sorted out the account books. Now he has a habit. Every time Yan Wenzhi comes to the fish house, he will show him the account books. He can find many problems. The more times he goes through them, the more problems he can avoid in advance.
arrive.
While sorting out the account books, he said, "The Qi family is considered a wealthy family in Qinghe Town. Most of the cloth shops and ceramic shops on the street are from his family. The fish restaurant has always made custom-made ones, which are also his family's shops. His family has many in the east of the city.
The porcelain-burning kiln is not only used by Qinghe Town, but also sold to other prefectures. It is said that his family also has an industry in Kyoto."
Yan Wenzhi nodded. It turns out that his family is so rich and Qi Qinfeng doesn't look like a shrewd businessman. No wonder Mr. Qi ordered him to study. It seemed that he could inherit the family business.
Wang Qian came over and heard that the Qi family was being discussed, and Mr. Qi had many romantic affairs.
"I also heard that Mr. Qi has several concubines, but he only has one son. I don't know why exactly. But recently there was news that the woman Mr. Qi just took in is pregnant. The doctor has seen it and said
It’s a male fetus.”
After Wang Qian finished speaking eloquently, he didn't notice the change in the eyes of Yan Wenzhi and Luo Wen at all.
No wonder Qi Qinfeng has to work hard to study and pass the Tongsheng Examination, which seems to be related to the fetus.
"How do you know the secrets of so many people's houses?"
"There are no secrets in a wealthy family. Even small things like this have not been dug out by people who care about them. If you come into contact with guests every day, you can hear some of them."
Wang Qian looked at Luo Wendao seriously.
Yan Wenzhi went to the second floor, and Wang Qian's words made him look at him squarely.
Wang Qian spends most of his time in the lobby. He is good at asking for information, and he is also a good chatterer. He can chat happily with anyone. It seems that there will be a more suitable position for him in the future.
As night fell, the last table of guests left the fish restaurant and the fish restaurant closed. Lin Nan rubbed his sore arms and came out of the back kitchen. Today's business was really good. He had not been out since he entered the back kitchen in the morning.
Yan Wenzhi had already tied up the carriage and was waiting outside.
It was still cold now, so he was sitting outside driving the car, wearing more clothes, a big turtle draped around his body, and the Tang Pozi that Gu had prepared in advance.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Nan leaned against Gu to take a rest. There were still too few things in the carriage, and it always hurt her when bumping. When she had time, she had to rearrange the interior of the carriage to make it soft and spacious.
OK.
When I returned to Qingxi Lane, I had almost rested and regained some energy.
After washing, the three of them sat in the front room around the stove.
Mrs. Gu was also very tired, but today was the first day Yan Wenzhi went to the academy in several years. She was still a little worried, so she wanted to ask about the situation.
Yan Wenzhi never concealed anything from Gu and Lin Nan. He told everything that happened today in detail, and also mentioned the situation of the Qi family.
"Do you think Qi Qinfeng is a good person?"
Lin Nanyi frowned. It was a good thing to make friends in school, but people here were generally precocious and scheming. It was uncertain whether he had other plans.
Now they have to take every step and plan everything well.
"It's not bad, and the people are easy to get along with."
Lin Nanyi believed that Yan Wenzhi would not misjudge the person, and that Yan Wenzhi also needed his friends. This was understandable, as long as they were good people.
"Then why don't we announce our relationship first?"
When Lin Nan thought of the sexy operation at noon, he thought that if he asked clearly, he would avoid being caught off guard in the future.
"Let's do this for now, I don't want others to use the fish house for anything."
Yan Wenzhi was silent for a while before speaking.
Lin Nanyi and Gu were the people he cared about most, and the fish house was the foundation of their lives, so he naturally avoided them.
She nodded and understood what Yan Wenzhi meant.
"I saw something interesting today."
"What?"
When Lin Nan mentioned it was interesting, he lost his drowsiness and raised his head to look at him.
"I saw Lin Wei at Qiushui Academy."
When I came out of the dean's study, I happened to see Lin Wei and a student leaving the academy talking and laughing.
He didn't know that Lin Wei was also at Qiushui Academy.
Lin Wei did a lot of publicity for the Liu family in town, but for some reason he didn't mention anything about his time at Qiushui Academy.
Not everyone can enter Qiushui Academy, and Mr. Liu's temperament of showing off cannot be restrained.
It seems that there is a hidden meaning in this.
"Is Lin Wei worthy enough to enter Qiushui Academy? He's not afraid of dirtying the academy's threshold."
Lin Nan sneered.
There are no good people in the Lin family's old house, and Lin Wei can even be considered the worst. He is knowledgeable and knows how to do things carefully. Most people can't take advantage of her.
Lin Nanyi figured it out after he traveled back in time and carefully recalled the memories left by the original owner.
It can only be said that Lin Wei is not simple.
"Maybe find out how he got in?"
As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, Yan Wenzhi immediately thought of Qi Qinfeng. Qi Qinfeng was considered a well-known figure in the town and had been studying at Qiushui Academy for a year. He failed to pass the boy's entrance examination last year and this year he repeated the grade and joined their new students.
"Okay, let me ask around."
By the time Lin Nan came out of Yan Wenzhi's room, it was already late at night. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu had the habit of leaving a light on. There were candles burning in the corridor along the way, so she was not afraid.
The fish restaurant has been doing very well these days, and it’s time to go to Banshan Restaurant to teach recipes.
Yan Wenzhi went to school, so she went alone.
When they arrived at the restaurant, shopkeeper Li saw that her smile was not diminishing, and she was even a little sincere. Lin Nan raised an eyebrow and followed him into the kitchen.
After Chef Wang was escorted to the government, Banshan Restaurant lost its chef. The second chef, who usually had a good understanding, was promoted to the position of chef, and five new chefs were recruited. Now the back kitchen is densely packed with people.
Today, we are still preparing to teach three recipes. We have prepared all the ingredients in advance. Every time Lin Nan makes a step, he will clearly explain the precautions for this step. Everyone listens attentively.
Before, they didn't know what kind of person Lin Nanyi was, and they just treated her with the same sneer attitude as they treated a little girl.
After the shopkeeper said that she was the owner of the fish restaurant, these people started to take it seriously. They didn't expect that this ordinary-looking little girl could actually support such a large fish restaurant.
The new chef Zhao Qing admires Lin Nanyi even more. He was lucky enough to have eaten the fish restaurant's food, which broke all his previous impressions of fish. He didn't expect that something covered with thorns could be so delicious.
I hope in my heart that she can teach you some methods of cooking fish, and I also know that this is the way to survive in a fish house, and it is not easy to teach others.
But it’s also nice to learn other dishes.
A group of people from the kitchen gathered around Lin Nan. Lin Nan made the last dish, put it on a plate, and gave everyone chopsticks.
"Try them all and let me know if you have any opinions. I will be here today. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lin Nan had been here all afternoon.
Zhao Qing quickly spoke out his unsolved problems and waited for Lin Nan to answer him. For a while, the atmosphere in the kitchen was better than ever.
After hearing his description, Lin Nan knew that he was a person who really devoted himself to cooking and studied his cooking skills. Lin Nan always had a good impression of such people.
He cooked a dish on the spot and let Zhao Qing taste it.
Zhao Qing only took one bite and knew that the taste was different from the one he made. The one made by Lin Nanyi was obviously more tender and chewy.
"The steps are the same, but why can't I get this taste?"
Zhao Qing is a tall and thick man, but he is like a curious baby.
Lin Nan pointed to the empty bowl next to him, "I thickened it just now. This is the difference between the two flavors. Thickening can better lock in the taste and nutrition of the food, and also make the color look more appetizing."
I see.
Zhao Qing's whole face turned red. It turned out that he had forgotten the simplest step. Thickening is a very basic step in cooking.
He actually forgot.
I immediately made one myself, remembering to thicken the gravy this time, and the taste was really the same as what Lin Nanyi made.
At least he was satisfied.
After Lin Nan tasted it, he gave him a thumbs up, and he felt a little embarrassed.
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Nanyi did not leave the kitchen. Questions came one after another. Lin Nanyi took the trouble to answer them and also demonstrated them personally.
It's lively and more attentive than when Chef Wang taught it before.
Chef Wang is extremely selfish. He always hides good recipes secretly and prevents others from learning them. This is one of the reasons why he can be the chef at Banshan Restaurant. After all, only he can make many special dishes.
But Zhao Qing is different. Whenever the restaurant is not busy, he will organize the chefs to discuss the innovation and enrichment of dishes.
Lou Zhan set out from Kyoto and took a detour to several state capitals to check out the industry. He finally arrived in Qinghe Town this afternoon.
When shopkeeper Li received the news, his expression changed. He quickly ordered someone to make tea and carried it upstairs.
When we arrived at the study room, Lou Zhan was already sitting there.
He came in through the back door, and there were stairs directly to the second floor. He didn't need to pass through the lobby, so no one knew he was coming.
Shopkeeper Li poured him a cup of warm tea and stood aside respectfully.
The kitchen is not far from the study, and you can hear the exclamations and sighs coming from inside.
It sounds like they are in a good mood.
Lou Zhan took a sip of tea before speaking, "What is the kitchen busy with?"
Shopkeeper Li was frightened to death. Lou Zhan didn't like unstable people, but the kitchen made such a big noise at this time.
"Miss Lin has come to the restaurant and is now answering questions for the cooks in the back kitchen."
Shopkeeper Li's voice became softer and softer, and it became difficult to hear the rest of the conversation.
Hearing Lin Nanyi's name, Lou Zhan was stunned for a moment, got up and went to the window.
The figure from behind actually looked a little impatient. This chapter has been completed!
