"Dad, how are you? Dad?" Zhao Mo quickly brought people forward. Seeing that Mr. Zhao could only breathe out but not in, he was frightened and hurriedly carried Mr. Zhao to the doctor.
Ding Jishi looked at Zhao Gaoyi who was so angry that he vomited blood and could not say a word.
After planning for so long, he just smashed his own brand? He really wanted to give up and leave, but except for the first place, the other rankings have not been decided yet. At this moment, all these chefs are there
There was a lot of discussion.
It was impossible to compete again. Princess Leyang suggested, "How about using the simplest and fairest way in the world to determine the second, third, fourth and fifth place.'
"What method?" Governor Ding asked.
Princess Leyang smiled and said: "Draw lots."
Governor Ding nodded and said, "Draw lots. Drawing lots is indeed the simplest and fairest way in the world."
After asking, no one had any objections, so twenty-seven chefs lined up to draw lots.
There are twenty-seven small bamboo sticks, the shortest one is the second place, the second shortest one is the third place, and so on.
When it was Zhou Yuchu's turn to draw lots, he got the longest one, so Ding Jishi secretly cut off a piece for him, so Zhou Yuchu finally got the second place.
After the rankings were determined, the awards began. Not to mention the first place prize, there were five thousand taels of silver coins alone. Shen Yuyu had bought so many stores and felt money was tight. This time, he also made a lot of money.
The originally scheduled sponsors and advertising etc. were all omitted. After planning for so long to make someone else’s wedding dress, how could I be in the mood to continue bothering with it?
The guest who will present the award to the first place was originally scheduled to be His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness left and was replaced by Princess Leyang.
Princess Leyang smiled and whispered in Shen Yu's ear, "Sister-in-law." Then she praised loudly, "You are the boss of the world's largest trading company. You are so awesome. You must be the God of Cooking."
It was indeed her. She had never tasted such delicious chicken soup.
Zhou Yuchu accepted the prize dejectedly, gave Shen Yu'an a hard look, and left.
There were so many people and it was hard for Princess Leyang to say anything. She smiled at Ji Xun and Shen Yuyu and left.
Other participating chefs ranged from happy to angry.
The third place winner was an unknown restaurant chef. He held the prize and burst into tears: "Guangzong Yaozu, Guangzong Yaozu~"
The champion of last year's cooking competition and the imperial chef from the Daqi court were left empty-handed and yelling angrily.
"What a bullshit contest~~ It's just a drawing contest. Governor Ding is really embarrassed."
"Really? I don't know what tricks I want to use to let Zhou Yuchu win the first place. It's a pity~~~ It failed so badly and it even hurt us."
"That's right, according to our level, we can't win the first place, but the second and third places are no surprise. Who would have thought? Ha~~"
Some of the chefs were smiling, while others were cursing. They quickly finished, and the onlookers dispersed in twos and threes. This was how the cooking competition ended.
Regardless of others, Tianxia Commercial Bank became the biggest winner anyway.
The next day, Prince Wei Yuande took Ding Xiaolian and returned to the capital with Princess Leyang. However, under Princess Leyang's cynicism, the prince still ordered someone to make a plaque for the 'God of Cooking'.
After a few days of busy work, the five Penglai restaurants reopened. Shen Yuyu transferred Shen's second brother Shen Yong'an from Fengming Restaurant to serve as the general manager of Penglai Restaurant. He trained all the chefs with his own cooking skills.
of.
Within three days of the opening of 'Peng Lai Restaurant', all the customers in Zuixian Restaurant were robbed.
In addition, under the leadership of Shopkeeper Liao, four more teahouses were added, bringing the total to eight teahouses, monopolizing the entire Lingzhou City.
Early that morning, a gilt plaque with large red silk flowers was delivered to Penglai Restaurant with gongs and drums. The two characters "God of Cooking" shone in the sun, attracting countless people to watch.
"Have you ever eaten at Peng Lai Restaurant? Every dish is delicious. Shen Dadong is a veritable chef!"
"Yes, it tastes ten times better than Zuixianlou's. I'm afraid the Zhao family will collapse now."
Others hold different opinions: "How smart is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Gaoyi? He can always find a way to deal with it. It's not that easy to crush him."
"Oh~~ You don't know, right? Didn't Mr. Zhao get so angry that he vomited blood on the day of the competition? He was paralyzed. The second and third sons of the Zhao family took the opportunity to separate the family, and the entire Zhao family fell apart."
"Really? This~~ collapsed a bit quickly."
"The Zhao family has collapsed, but Dadong Shen's family may have offended the big shots behind the Zhao family.'
"I don't know this. Who is the big shot behind the Zhao family?'
"Yongsheng Trading Company~~" the man said with a solemn face, "Murong Hong, the big owner of Yongsheng Trading Company, is the brother-in-law of Zhao Gaoyi, the head of the Zhao family~~ I'm afraid Yongsheng Trading Company has recorded this bad breath." Yongsheng Trading Company is the number one in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Business names held the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
"The business of Yongsheng Trading Company is near the capital. Lingzhou City is as high as the sky and far away from the emperor. I'm afraid it's out of reach.
Amid everyone's discussion, the 'God of Cooking' plaque was soon hung high outside the door of 'Peng Lai Restaurant', shining brightly.
Five days later, the management staff from the capital also arrived. What a coincidence, they turned out to be a soldier named He Jin who had escaped from the iron mine.
He Jin was originally a businessman. After his family business was defeated by Yongsheng Trading Company, he joined the army. Now he serves as the owner of Lingzhou Branch of Tianxia Trading Company, which can be regarded as returning to his old business.
After He Jin arrived, he immediately rented a building facing the street and renovated it into the "Lingzhou Branch of Tianxia Commercial Bank". He did not set up the "Lingzhou Branch of Tianxia Commercial Bank" in Yunlai Inn, but also made up his mind to set up business in Lingzhou City.
Bigger and stronger.
Today, Tianxia Commercial Bank has eight teahouses, six inns, and nine restaurants in Lingzhou City, and it is still expanding.
Not long after, Zuixian Tower was completely squeezed out and closed down. Zhao Gaoyi moved his family to the capital to join his wife and brother Murong Hong.
Zhao Han and Zhao Ke came to bid farewell to Shen Yuhu and Ji Xun, and also headed to the capital.
After Zhao Gaoyi was paralyzed, his step-sibling Murong directly expelled Zhao Han and Zhao Ke from the Zhao family and expelled them from the Zhao family tree. They were relieved, and the two brothers came to say goodbye in high spirits.
"Yu Yu has worked hard to take care of business during this time." Ji Xun pulled Shen Yu Yu into his arms on the second floor terrace of Yun Lai Inn.
"It's not hard, but is it hard for Ah Xun?" Shen Yue buried her face in his chest and rubbed it.
"It's okay." Ji Xun picked up a piece of red date cake. He said it was hard for him. No one knew how hard he endured every night.
"Well, Ah Xun, let's go to Daqi tomorrow to look for centella asiatica. Zhuangzi said we're going to pass by there anyway, so we can just take a look at it then."
Ji Xun responded: "Okay, everyone listens to Yu Yu."
The next day, the two of them got ready and planned to set off for Daqi. As soon as they walked out of Yunlai Inn with their baggage on their backs and prepared to board the carriage, several people came forward to block the carriage.
A butler-looking man stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Is there Miss Shen Yu in the car? My master paid a lot of money for you to come and see her.'
