He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

As soon as the man said this, several well-informed young masters were all stunned.

Xu Meng couldn't help but ask: "What is a tomato?"

"Tomato is a kind of fruit found by our boss and can be used in vegetables. Because it is obtained from the Western Regions. It is also called tomatoes and persimmons." The waiter explained: "You may not have heard of this name, but there is good news. Everyone knows Sanyuan, right?"

Many scholars exclaimed when they heard the good news of three yuan. Before cooking, tomatoes were sold as ornamental plants, and the audience was those scholars at home who wanted to take scientific examinations, so there were indeed a few children who had seen this thing.

The scholar who had seen it exclaimed: "The good news is three yuan? Just that little red fruit? Can that thing be eaten?"

"That's it." The waiter smiled mysteriously: "Guest, if you want to try it, I suggest you order it today. Our boss doesn't have much of this stuff. I guess the next one will be next month after finishing this meal. .”

Lu Yan took several pots home with her. Two pots of fruit had just grown but were not yet mature, so she kept them at home to slowly grow. Now the two pots of fruit are ripe, but the ones planted before have not yet produced any fruit, and they will not bear fruit this time after eating. We will have to wait for the fruit to grow next time.

No one can refuse the "limited edition", especially this group of young men. When they heard that it would be gone after eating it today, they all clamored to order more.

Lu Sheng knew that Lu Yan didn't have many tomatoes left, and it was impossible to pile them on each table, so he simply stood up: "Everyone! I suggest that we eat at the same table and let the shopkeeper make more varieties. Everyone can enjoy each kind. What do you think about being able to eat it?”

The scholars responded one after another, and Lu Sheng waved his hand: "Then I'll treat you to this table today! Guys, please come and move the table."

The waiter responded and ran over to move the table. There were a lot of people here today, but most of them were bought and taken away by their own servants. There were not many people eating here, and it was still early, so it wasn't lunch time yet. There are only eight people in total who are willing to come and eat together. It is enough to put four tables together and put a circle of stools around them.

Lu Sheng greeted the waiter: "Go and tell the boss about the current situation and let her watch and act."

The boy turned and went to the kitchen. Lu Yan knew what was going on outside, and also knew that today was going to be a feast of tomatoes.

For eight people, it is usually more appropriate to prepare ten dishes plus staple food and soup, two cold dishes, four meat and four vegetarian dishes, one staple food and one soup.

Although tomatoes are the main ingredient, tomatoes do not need to be used in every dish. These young men mainly want to eat something fresh. So try to cook dishes they haven't seen before.

Lu Yan thought for a while and decided on tomato and egg soup, cold dishes with tomatoes mixed with sugar and saliva chicken, staple food with tomato meat sauce noodles, four meat dishes with tomato fish fillet, sweet and sour pork loin, fried chicken platter, and shredded pork with Beijing sauce. Vegetarian scrambled eggs with tomatoes, roasted tofu with tomatoes, mace potatoes, shredded radish dumplings. Most of the young masters have probably never seen these dishes before.

Lu Yan decided to add the shredded pork with Beijing sauce after thinking about it for a while. She originally wanted to add meat dishes, chicken, duck and fish, but she couldn't make roast duck and it took too long, so she simply substituted shredded pork with Beijing sauce. Since you want to make shredded pork with Beijing sauce, you have to make spring pancakes.

Lu Yan rolled out a dozen dough sheets like dumpling wrappers, brushed them layer by layer with oil, then rolled them out and steamed them. She asked Xia Hefeng and the four assistant cooks to prepare all the other dishes needed, wash and cut what needed to be done. It was still early, so I went up to the second floor to see how it was going.

On the second floor was a banquet hosted by Princess Yi. It was a buffet style for the first time and she had to go see what needed improvement.

The second floor was bustling with people, and as soon as Lu Yan came up from the stairs, she felt a sudden excitement in her ears.

The ladies were not loud, but they could not stand the crowd. People who were close to her gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices. Lu Yan felt as if she had walked into a shopping mall in the future.

Princess Yi was also talking to someone. When she saw Lu Yan coming up, she quickly waved her over.

Princess Yi greeted Lu Yan: "Xiao Lu, why are you here free?"

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Come here to see how you are eating and if there is anything you need."

One of the girls talking to Princess Yi said cheerfully: "Did you cook all the dishes today? It's so interesting!"

Lu Yan hurriedly waved her hands and said a few compliments, then turned to look at Prince Yi. Princess Yi introduced to Lu Yan: "This is Wang Hanlin's granddaughter Wang Tingruo, and next to her is her mother, Mrs. Wang."

Lu Yan heard this name very familiar, and suddenly thought of the name of the grandson of the Hanlin family who played well with Lu Sheng. It seems to be called Wang Tingyu!

Lu Yan hesitated and asked: "You and Wang Tingyu...?"

Wang Tingruo and Mrs. Wang were both stunned. Wang Tingruo said blankly: "Do you know my brother?"

Lu Yan waved her hand: "He and my scholar are classmates and good friends. He is also here today and is downstairs now."

Mrs. Wang and her daughter arrived earlier than Wang Tingyu, so they happened to miss each other. Neither party knew the other was here.

Lu Yan couldn't help but sigh, this world is so small, everyone can have some relationship with everyone.

Just as Lu Yan lamented that the world is small, she heard Wang Tingruo say: "It's such a pity that Sister Hongling didn't come today."

Lu Yan was shocked: "You...you still know Jian Hongling?"

Wang Tingruo was also surprised: "Do you also know Sister Hongling?"

Lu Yan nodded: "Jian Hongling is my friend. To be honest, she showed me this shop."

Strangely enough, Jian Hongling knew that the shop was opening today, but she didn't come. She only had someone give her an opening gift. Quite strange.

Lu Yan couldn't help but ask: "Then do you know why she didn't come today?"

"Of course I know!" Wang Tingruo glanced at the crowd and lowered her voice: "Her stepmother is here with her younger sister! Look at the one over there wearing a silver-gray fox fur..."

Lu Yan's heart skipped a beat. She looked over and saw a middle-aged lady wearing a silver-grey fox fur and a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old talking to someone. That woman looked like Xiaojiabiyu, weak and slender, and she really looked like a white lotus. If Lu Yan hadn't known how cruel and ruthless she was towards Jian Hongling, she would have been deceived by her appearance.

The little girl standing next to her, Jian Hongling's stepsister, looks like her mother. She has the same dull facial features and lacks her mother's charming temperament. She looks very boring. Comparing herself with Jian Hongling was like going to the moon. No wonder her mother had always been so malicious towards Jian Hongling.

Lu Yan pretended to take two steps in that direction casually, trying to hear what they were saying, but after hearing clearly, she froze in place.
