A complete comeback today, all the wooden signs were collected by Bi Jiaban, completely defeating Haoyuan Tower.
Deng Jiang, Deng Hai and a group of young apprentices were chattering and having fun all the way back to the big kitchen excitedly. They were completely different from yesterday and seemed particularly relaxed.
Yan Yan and Bi Cheng walked at the end of the crowd.
Bi Cheng looked at the cheerful expressions of everyone in front of him, and his words were not only extremely excited but also deeply grateful: "Thanks to Master's own initiative today, my apprentice's cooking skills are still far behind compared to Master!"
These are Bi Cheng’s true words.
He was completely impressed by Yan Yan's cooking skills, which were so perfect that even a white radish cooked in Yan Yan's hand would taste like ginseng.
Yan Yan smiled: "You are already very good at cooking, but your ideas and vision still need to be tempered. After the banquet competition is over, I have additional lessons to teach you. In addition, when you have free time from cooking, you need to read more."
Bi Cheng nodded quickly: "Yes, apprentice is being taught!"
Yanyan calmed down and continued walking forward.
Bi Cheng asked in a low voice: "Master, what should we do in the last competition tomorrow?"
Yan Yan looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed: "Tomorrow is a crucial day. If there is a draw today, Haoyuan Tower will definitely use its full strength tomorrow. It is indeed the most difficult competition..."
After she finished speaking, a crystal clear six-petaled snowflake fell from the sky.
Yan Yan stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes fell gently on her fingertips, melting in an instant. Just as she was about to speak, someone from behind called from afar: "Chef Bi, Miss Tang Tang, stay here!"
The two of them turned around and saw Hao Lin catching up, panting.
"Miss Tangtang, my boss has invited me!"
Yan Yan didn't know why, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to ask me about tomorrow's banquet? This matter should be discussed with my master."
But Hao Lin shook his head: "No, when I sent you to invite people, my boss specially told me to just invite Miss Tang Tang to come over. You don't have to work for Chef Bi."
Tang Tang felt strange and wanted to ask again, but Bi Cheng next to him kept urging: "Since Boss Hao called you, you should go over and take a look. I will go back first." After saying that, he turned around and left quickly, as if he was hiding from a debt.
Yes, for fear that Yan Yan would drag him along.
Yan Yan glared hard at the back of Bi Cheng's head.
This apprentice is good at everything, but he is too stupid. With such a good opportunity, she is planning to let him get in touch with Haomao more and learn how to speak and act like others. But this guy is good. He can run around faster than a rabbit. Is he really going to be a cook all his life?
No!
A cook who doesn’t want to be the boss is not a good apprentice!
Helpless, Chef Bi had already left his master behind and walked away without looking back. He didn't even receive Yan Yan's look of hatred.
Yan Yan had no choice but to follow Hao Lin to the study room in Rongchang Garden alone.
"What does Boss Hao want from me?" Yan Yan was a little curious.
Hao Lin smiled politely and said, "I don't know much about this. You will know after you go there."
"The boss is looking for me alone?"
"The uncle is also in the study!"
Yan Yan was a little surprised, and subconsciously frowned slightly.
Shen Yuyun is also in the magnificent inner study. I wonder if it has something to do with his attitude towards Zhuo Jinzhang at the banquet...
Rongchang Garden, inner study room——
Haomao frowned tightly and looked at a wall-engraved rubbing placed on the desk in front of him. He was silent for a while and then said slowly: "You went to Qiushui County this time. What else did you hear?"
Shen Yuyun looked calm and replied respectfully: "Yun also heard that after Mr. Zhuo was eaten by a mountain demon, an Orion once stayed in the monk's room where he once lived. The location of this rubbing and seal was pointed out to Yun by that Orion."
"
Shen Yuyun then described in detail the scene he saw in the monk's room.
Haomao slowly closed his eyes...
On the day of his accident, Shen Yuyun was not at the scene, but what Shen Yuyun described at the ruined temple in the mountains was almost exactly the same as the dilapidated monk's room when he first met Zhuo Jinzhang.
Although Shen Yuyun looked ugly when he saw Haomao, this matter was of great importance, so he continued to talk about what he saw and heard during this trip.
"The fact that Mr. Zhuo is living in seclusion in the mountains to study is not known to his old neighbors and friends in Qiushui County where he was originally from, but several hunters living in the mountains all know about him. They say that Mr. Zhuo is not the only one who saved the old man in the ruined temple. He also rescued other passers-by who stayed overnight in a ruined temple."
"Master Zhuo is devoted to learning and is not afraid of the dangerous environment. He just wants the tranquility of the mountains and forests. How could he suddenly leave..."
He said that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noble man outside the door say: "Master, Miss Tang Tang is here."
As soon as Hao Lin finished speaking, before Shen Yuyun could react, Haomai immediately stood up from his chair and said anxiously toward the door: "Please, please!"
After shouting, Haomai noticed that Shen Yuyun across from him looked at him in surprise, and he realized that in front of Shen Yuyun, his performance just now was a bit too excited.
He has always been calm.
Haomai was very embarrassed. He coughed dryly, his face turned slightly red, and he explained in a low voice: "It's just that... I want to find out about this, and I'm a little impatient."
Shen Yuyun gently comforted him: "I can understand my boss's mood." After saying that, he looked at the heroic man opposite him without leaving any trace.
Shen Yuyun always felt that the boss's reaction just now was a bit excessive. It seemed that it was not just a simple worry, but also had some other meaning. It was not that he was overthinking...
The door opened and Yan Yan walked in from the outside.
After saluting Haomai, Yan Yan's eyes fell on Shen Yuyun who was sitting next to him, and the two of them nodded slightly.
Today is the day of the banquet. Yan Yan changed into the graceful and gentle dress of the past. On her upper body, she wore a five-color brocade embroidered damask flower jacket. The slanted buttons were decorated with bright and round pearls. On her lower body, she wore a Rose purple plum blossom gauze skirt.
Her whole person looked capable, refined and decent, and she was a bit more sassy and neat than the gentle and elegant way she used to be when she was studying in the evening. She was so bold that she couldn't help but smile.
Tang Tang is so good-looking. I will buy her many, many beautiful clothes in the future. She looks great no matter what she wears!
This proud expression of Haomao fell into Shen Yuyun's eyes again... Shen Yuyun frowned unconsciously.
Is the boss tempted?
It wasn’t that he was overthinking just now, it was true!
Yanyan's eyes were slightly lowered, and she stood quietly and upright: "I wonder what boss Hao has to say when he called me here?"
He boldly came back to his senses and greeted her warmly: "Miss Tang, please sit down. I didn't invite you here specifically for the banquet. I have something else to do and I want to trouble you to help you."
"I heard that the girl has good handwriting. I have a rubbing here. I would like to ask the girl to help identify the handwriting to see if it is written by the same person."
After Haomai finished speaking, he pushed forward the rubbings and an account book in front of him.
Yan Yan was quite surprised: "I come from a kitchen background and don't know much about epigraphy, calligraphy and painting!"
When she said this, her big clear eyes were full of caution.
