The Culinary Tycoon

What Luo Mingda said was not nonsense, at noon on the day when Jufulou launched the drunken duck, Yuanbao of his family bought the drunken duck back.He has tasted it, and the taste is incomparable to the drunk duck in front of him.

It's over, thinking of the drunken duck in Jufulou, Luo Mingda misses the taste a little bit, looking at the drunken duck in front of him, he suddenly doesn't want to eat so much.

Let Fu Lang buy the drunken duck from Jufulou tomorrow at noon, shall we?Oh, no, Yu Qingze invited him to dinner tomorrow night, so he can have it?

Thinking of eating it tomorrow, Luo Mingda didn't hesitate, and put down his chopsticks decisively.

Next to him, Jia Xiaoren was choked to the point of being speechless.

After a long time, he finally said, "...so this is the most irritating thing. He stole the method, improved it, and it became theirs. Don't you think it's irritating."

Luo Mingda turned to look at him and said, "Do you have evidence?"

"What?" Jia Xiaoren asked.

Luo Mingda said: "Do you have evidence to prove that Yu Qingze stole your chef's method?"

Jia Xiaoren shook his head.

"Then there is no other way." Luo Mingda took a sip of tea, then broke off a rabbit leg and started to eat.

Jia Xiaoren suppressed a constipated face, moved closer, and whispered to Luo Mingda: "Master Luo, Yu Qingze has a very good relationship with the Cai Mansion."

Luo Mingda nodded and said: "I knew the second day after I came here that the Cai Mansion invited me to the No. [-] Scholar Appreciation Banquet." Then I tasted the delicacy of Wucup Goose.

Hearing this, Jia Xiaoren was overjoyed, he had heard Luo Mingda talk about that day before, at that time he still laughed at the other party for wanting to give him a blow and laughed at him for not being the champion.So, he said, "Prefect Cai belongs to the prime minister's faction. Don't the prime minister and Mr. Luo often quarrel with each other?"

"Why are you asking this?" Luo Mingda blinked, looked at Jia Xiaoren thoughtfully, and asked again: "No, where did you hear that my father and the prime minister often quarreled with each other?"

His father and the prime minister, well, they often quarreled, and they often quarreled in the hall. What outsiders know is that when they were young, they fought because they liked the same brother. In the end, neither of them married. Because of this, the two of them confronted each other, and they fought against each other for decades.

However, few people know that they are not at odds, on the contrary, they are in the same camp, and doing these things is just some means of the court.

But there's no need to tell anyone.

Jia Xiaoren said with a smile: "I sometimes go to Beijing to see my uncle."

"Oh... the servant of the Ministry of Rites is still telling you this? Which adult does not get along with which adult and often quarrels? Did he tell you that I also fought with the prime minister's son?" Luo Mingda's mouth twitched. Laughing, after asking, he took a bite of the rabbit meat in his hand and ate it slowly.

"Hey, hey, I've heard of it." Jia Xiaoren laughed, and then whispered: "So, Young Master Luo, we can take this opportunity to vent our anger on you."

"Exhaust?" Luo Mingda asked playfully, "How?"

Jia Xiaoren whispered this and that in Luo Mingda's ear.

Luo Mingda slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his eyebrows and said, "Should Yu Ji's Jufulou and snack bar be closed?"

Jia Xiaoren nodded.

"Well, the method is a good way." Luo Mingda nodded, threw the bone in his hand, and then asked: "However, Yu Ji is closed, so where should I go for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Come to your place? "

Jia Xiaoren paused, and said: "There are still many good cooks, if you don't mind, I welcome you very much."

"I hate it." Luo Mingda curled his lips and said, "You can find someone who is as good at cooking as Yu Qingze in Tongshan City and talk about it."

Jia Xiaoren was speechless, why is this Young Master Luo so promising?Just know how to eat!

Luo Mingda spoke again, "Didn't I say you, in business, there is always someone better than you, if you want to make more money, you just have to find a good cook, and you don't want to rise to the power of the court. I don't care about my father's affairs, and I can't care, if I do, maybe he still doesn't like it and scolds me."

He will definitely be scolded, and he has already been scolded for the thank-you banquet in the Cai Mansion.Luo Mingda is sleepy, he can't get angry, is he a student, he was taught by his father with Cai Chenxi at home, and he is angry again when he arrives at Cai Mansion in Tongshan.

Hmph, champion!

Thinking about it now makes me angry!

Angrily, he broke off the rabbit's front legs and gnawed on it as Cai Chenxi!

After a meal, Jia Xiaoren didn't convince Luo Mingda after all.

Luo Mingda finished eating a roasted rabbit, and the drunken duck didn't eat much afterwards, so he was only half full. When he got home, he asked the cook to warm up the small bowl of white fungus soup that Fu Lang had left for him.

"Husband, what does Jia Xiaoren want from you?" Luo Fulang asked while squeezing his shoulders.

While soaking his feet, Luo Mingda comfortably enjoyed Fu Lang's massage. Hearing this, he replied: "He said that Jufulou stole his signature dishes, and asked me to support him to bring down Jufulou. Take it out on me."

Lovran stopped his hand and hurriedly asked, "You didn't agree?"

"No." Luo Mingda stretched out his hand to pat Fu Lang's hand, and said, "Are you such a fool as I am your husband? After ruining Yu Ji, where can I go to eat? Good cooks are hard to find, you say so?" .”

"It's fine if you don't have one." Hearing this, Loverang heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to push him up.Suddenly, remembering another invitation card, he asked again: "Then why does Jufulou also invite you to dinner?"

Luo Mingda shook his head and said: "I don't know, I will know when I go tomorrow."

After getting off work the next day, Luo Mingda packed up again and went to Jufulou for a banquet.

When he got there, Jiabao led him to the Green Bamboo Pavilion, where Master Hu and the others had already arrived.

Everyone got up and saw the ceremony.

"Master Luo, my elder brother is cooking the last dish and will be up later. Please sit down for a while." Jia Bao poured tea for him, and then said: "Everyone in charge, please wait a moment."

"Hey, are the heads of the family here? Jiabao, what's the matter with Boss Yu's table today?" Luo Mingda raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw that several famous family heads in the city were also there.

Jiabao smiled and said: "Since the store opened, I have received a lot of attention from everyone. My eldest brother just wanted to thank Master Luo and everyone who is in charge. I have been busy before and didn't have time. Recently, I can finally help you a little bit, so that my eldest brother can relax a little bit. , he prepared this table banquet, and would like to thank everyone."

"So that's it." Luo Mingda nodded, and then said: "He made all the tables today?"

Jia Bao nodded and said, "Yes, he also specially prepared a drunken goose dish for you."

"Drunk goose?" Luo Mingda's eyes lit up when he heard the name of this fresh dish, "New dish?"

"Yes, thinking that you love goose, I made it specially."

Luo Mingda is happy, there is a new dish to taste, it is goose, drunk goose, "does it taste like drunk duck?"

Jiabao shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten it before, so I don't know. It's the first time I've seen my brother make this dish."

Luo Mingda was even happier, patted Jiabao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll try it later. You hurry up and urge him."

"Yes." Jiabao laughed and went on.

After a while, the waiters started serving the dishes one after another.

All of you here looked at it, ouch, there are several dishes that you have never seen before, and you suddenly regained your energy. What Xiao Er introduced was squirrel mandarin fish, braised pork with preserved vegetables, braised lamb in red, and stewed chicken with pork belly.

They were all big dishes they had never eaten before, plus several dishes already in the restaurant, the table was full.

The delicious smell has whetted everyone's appetite.

After the waiters finished serving the food, Yu Qingze came up with a big bowl of drunken goose.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long." Yu Qingze apologized, then put the drunk goose in front of Luo Mingda, and said to him: "Master Luo, this is the drunk goose, please try it."

"Okay, okay." Luo Mingda's eyes lit up when he saw the drunk goose, and he said quickly, "Sit down quickly."

Yu Qingze sat down as he said, Xiaoshu filled the wine for everyone in charge, Yu Qingze poured wine for Young Master Luo, and filled it up himself, then stood up and said: "Master Luo, everyone in charge, since Yu Ji opened the shop, he has been well received by everyone. Yu Mou is very grateful for the support, and the banquet today is mainly to thank you for your strong support. I will offer you three cups first, and I will do it first."

Saying that, Yu Qingze drank three glasses of wine first.

"Boss Yu is a good drinker!" Master Liao laughed, praised him, and said, "Let's drink too."

Everyone else present also drank the wine in their hands.

Yu Qingze then said: "Today I made a few new dishes, please try them." After speaking, Yu Qingze introduced a few dishes that were not released in the store, and everyone began to eat them.

The first thing Luo Mingda ate was this drunk goose. It was rich in flavor and meaty, with crispy bones, which suits his taste very well.

"Delicious!" He gave Yu Qingze a thumbs up after eating the first piece, and said, "Sure enough, if you want to eat goose, you have to come to your place to eat it to be delicious!"

"Young master Luo is very good. I also know several ways to make goose meat. If you are interested, you can bring your family over to taste it next time." Yu Qingze said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Luo Mingda nodded, and then asked again: "Do you know how to cook some seafood or river seafood? My husband likes to eat those fish, fish, shrimp and shrimp, both in the river and in the sea. I want him to try it too."

Yu Qingze nodded, and said: "Yes, you can bring Luo Fulang, and I'll make it for him. He seems to be able to eat spicy food. I'll make him a spicy crayfish. I'm sure he'll want to eat it after eating. This is Hexian, Luo Young master, you can also eat together."

"Really? That's a good thing, then I'll bring them over to eat tomorrow night, okay?" Luo Mingda heard that he could eat, so he quickly set a date.

"Okay, no problem." Yu Qingze agreed without hesitation.

Luo Mingda was very happy when he heard this.

Over there, Master Hu heard this, and said, "Boss Yu, I also like seafood, especially sea prawns, can you make some fresh ones?"

Hearing this, Yu Qingze knew that Mr. Hu was looking for something to say to him, so he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, you bring your family. If it wasn't for you this time, our store would not sell any seafood in the future. Come on, Mr. Hu, I respect you." you!"

"It's a trivial matter. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can come to me." As he said, the head of Hu also had a drink.

Young Master Zhao also raised his glass, and said to Mr. Hu, "Yu Ji, this matter, it's really thanks to Uncle Hu, otherwise we won't be able to eat delicious snacks in the future, and I won't be able to get my favorite clams." After eating, just drink this, Uncle Hu Shi, I also offer you a toast."

With that said, the two had another drink.

Over there, the other two masters also found excuses to drink with Master Hu, raising the matter again and again.

Luo Mingda looked at them with a dazed expression, and asked, "What happened to Yu Ji? Why did you say you almost couldn't eat seafood and dim sum?"

Mr. Liao was straightforward, and said, "Hey, this is not the owner of Xiangmanlou, Mr. Jia, who asked the owner of his uncle Hongyun Shipping to threaten the flour shop and seafood stalls, telling them not to sell flour and seafood to Yu Ji, making a fuss. After more than ten days, Lao Hu finally came forward to solve the matter."

Luo Mingda looked surprised, and said: "What else is there?"

Yu Qingze nodded, sighed, and said: "The flour we use is the best kind. Only Hongyun can ship that kind of flour and seafood back to Tongshan for sale. Boss Jia asked Boss Yuan of Hongyun to threaten the grain and oil purchased from him. Shop and seafood stall owners, if they sell to me, they will not ship to them. Later, Boss Yuan didn't know why, but he didn't ask them not to sell to us, but asked the flour shop to double the price for Yu Ji. Seafood The price of the stall has also doubled. Alas, our snack bar almost couldn't do it."

Hearing this, Luo Mingda slowly frowned.

Seeing his expression, everyone didn't speak anymore. This matter is here for today, and it will be stopped soon.

Then they greeted Luo Mingda to have a drink, the wine was good and the food was good, the atmosphere was very warm, and everyone present had a great time.

Luo Mingda obviously drank too much, and fell asleep when he got home.

He didn't remember what happened last night until he woke up the next day and Loverang asked him what was going on last night.

"Fu Lang, Yu Ji almost closed, we almost didn't have any snacks, and you almost didn't have any delicious seafood to eat." Luo Mingda said to Fu Lang while rubbing his forehead with one hand.

Love Lang patted his head, he didn't have a fever, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, Yu Ji's business is so good, why did it almost close? Come, drink the hangover soup first."

With that said, Love Lang handed Luo Mingda a bowl of hangover soup.

Luo Mingda took it and drank it in one gulp, before putting down the bowl, and then told Luo Fulang what he heard last night.

Luo Fulang was shocked when he heard the words, and then he said angrily: "There is such a thing? That Jia Xiaoren is too worthless. The day before yesterday he slandered Jufulou for stealing his drunken duck. It turned out that he did something wrong. , looking for you to act as a shield for him!"

Luo Mingda nodded, feeling a little apprehensive, but fortunately he did not agree to Jia Xiaoren.He said: "You are right, he is really not a thing, he dared to plot against me."

At this time, the servant Yuanbao came over with a post.

"Young master, young husband, Boss Jia of Xiangmanlou sent someone to send an invitation, inviting the young master to have dinner at Xiangmanlou tomorrow night."

"He still dares to come?!" Luo Fulang got angry when he heard this person's name, and said, "Yuan Bao, you go and tell him, the young master won't go."

"Good young husband." After Yuan Bao answered, he was about to leave.

"Wait, wait." Luo Mingda quickly called Yuan Bao to stop, and said, "I'll go."

Loveran turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you going?"

Luo Mingda pulled Luo Fulang into the room, explained to him in a low voice the relationship between his father and the prime minister, and told him the relationship between the Minister of Rites and Jia Xiaoren.

"Is that so?" Before this, Luo Fulang didn't know, after listening to it, he thought for a moment, and then said: "Then go, this matter has to be done earlier. In this way, you..."

Lovran said this and that in Luo Mingda's ear, and then said: "Do you understand?"

Luo Mingda nodded and said: "Understood, Fu Lang, you are so smart!"

Saying that, Luo Mingda held Luo Fulang's face and kissed him three times in succession.
