Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"You are the boss, right?"

"Come, come, come, I'll hand it to you with both hands. Would you mind looking at it?"

As he spoke, Sha Zhu took out a square handkerchief from his bosom, and inside the handkerchief were the collection of books.

Xiao Weiguo smiled helplessly, looking embarrassed!

"Hurry up, before I regret it, or I will..."

"That's fine, I won't look at it anymore. Take it away quickly, take it away! When everyone knows what happened, don't doubt me. I can't do such a thing as gossiping about others behind their backs!"

Having said that, Xiao Weiguo stood up and was about to leave.

Angry Sha Zhu pulled him back.

"Wake up! Come back quickly! Look, just sit down and watch! Look carefully, just this once!"

As he said this, Sha Zhu opened his handkerchief himself, and the book hider finally revealed his true identity.

At first glance, it is indeed a valuable old thing, but because it has been well preserved, only the cover is slightly damaged, and everything inside is still good.

The handwriting is fluent and neat, and it is obvious that it was copied carefully.

"Could this book be..."

"Yes, you guessed it right! That's my great-grandfather's great-grandfather's great-grandfather..."

"My ancestors copied this from the palace. They left the palace long before they were hunted down. They also shed blood to preserve this book! Now that it has been passed down to me, I must protect it well. It must not fall into the hands of outsiders. I'm telling you clearly, it must not fall into the hands of the Jia family! This is the hard work of our entire family!"

Sha Zhu became more and more excited as he spoke. His hatred for the Jia family was not just a little bit, but it had accumulated over time and had left a deep gully in his heart.

Xiao Weiguo looked at it carefully again and again. Some of the handwriting was a little sloppy and difficult to recognize, but the amount of each ingredient was very clear.

Even if a fool makes a dish using the above ingredients, it will definitely be the best of the best.

This made Xiao Weiguo feel a sense of crisis.

If Silly Zhu chooses any one of them as his entry, their chances of winning are slim.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiguo closed the book carefully. He was very careful with his collection of books.

"Okay, this is a good thing! If it really falls into Banggeng's hands, who knows who he will sell it to!!!"

What Xiao Weiguo said was not a lesson learned. It was not the first time that Banggeng sold things at home when he was short of money, and Qin Huairu beat him up for it.

This made Shazhu very unhappy.

What's going on? Can this matter be resolved peacefully?

Sha Zhu's eyes were full of stories at this moment. He was trying to figure out how to suppress Xiao Weiguo, prevent him from spreading the news, and prevent him from using this opportunity to threaten him.

"Weiguo, the relationship between us has been going on for a long time..."

"Please don't talk about feelings with me. I'm not a woman, nor am I Lou Xiao'e. Talking about feelings with me will hurt feelings!"

"Hey, what does this have to do with Lou Xiao'e?"

As he said this, Sha Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, indicating that life was really going to be unbearable like this!

There are pursuers in front and blockades behind.

"Weiguo, okay, let's not talk about feelings or anything else! Let's just talk about this, can we..."

"Stop wasting time and drink!"

"Didn't I tell you that Sijiucheng's words are real? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else! Hurry and eat!"

In fact, Xiao Weiguo didn't want to use this to threaten Sha Zhu. It would be unkind to do so!

But he has done many shady things, and he has done them to Sha Zhu many times, so this time is no exception.

The more Xiao Weiguo thought about it, the more hesitant he became, so he simply picked up his glass and drank.

Don’t talk about those unhappy things.

The next morning, Sha Zhu came to the restaurant early to work.

Firstly, it was to prepare for the competition, and secondly, I had to confirm with Lou Xiao'e that this matter must not be spread outside.

It was redundant for him to mention this matter to Xiao Weiguo!

When Sha Zhu arrived at the office on the second floor, he heard someone making a phone call from a distance, and it seemed that they were talking about a competition.

Sha Zhu hesitated at the door for a long time, and when he heard the phone hang up, he knocked on the door.

knock knock knock

"Come in!"

In the past, Lou Xiao'e's voice was very gentle, at least she was very gentle to him, but after these days of being afraid of being kicked out, she has become a tomboy!

It was obvious that he was holding back his anger, so Sha Zhu entered the house cautiously, not wanting to become cannon fodder.

"General manager……"

"Come in and sit down! The Chefs Association has changed the rules for the competition. You don't need to study cuisine anymore!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Shazhu was totally confused because he had been staying up all night researching the cuisine, so how come the rules came into being all of a sudden?

Lou Xiao'e put her hands on her hips and was a little angry. After all, if they brought their works with them, their chances of winning would be very high. Sha Zhu had his collection of books in his hands, so he would not be afraid no matter where he went!

But now that the rules have been changed, there isn't much advantage for them.

"The people in these associations just sit in their offices and do random research every day. They make whatever changes they want!"

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e poured herself a glass of water, feeling extremely angry.

"How did you change it to this? You should have let me know!"

Sha Zhu looked at Lou Xiao'e in confusion, feeling helpless.

It's so confusing that you can't even guess it!

"All contestants must prepare a dish within the specified time and requirements! All ingredients will be distributed by them! The ingredients for all contestants are fixed and the same. Then we will see who can make a more innovative dish with better taste!"

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e let out a long sigh. From this point of view, it's not that she has no expectations for Sha Zhu, but she thinks that Chef Wang of Zui Xiang Lou is better in terms of innovation.

"Hey, it's just a simple change, no need to be so angry! Everyone has the same stuff, it's still fair. We can improvise and innovate on the spot. This competition system is not bad!"

After thinking about it carefully, I find it quite interesting!

But Lou Xiao'e gave him a look of disgust and rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure?"

"Hey, the most important thing is to participate! No one has experience in this matter. Every chef only has a few specialties. The starting point is the same! It all depends on your performance on the spot! However, if you can find out what dishes are prepared in advance, I will have time to study it carefully..."

"Don't be so conceited! It is said that several plans have been prepared, and everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement. If this matter gets out, it will be a crime. In addition, the judges and others involved have been invited to Zhongnanhai to rest, waiting to come out on the day of the competition!"

"Well, it's so grand, fair and just! Not bad!"

Sha Zhu was not worried at all, but Lou Xiao'e was worried to death.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing when she saw Shazhu's silly look.
