After hearing their purpose, Su Tang immediately understood what these people were trying to do.
It was nothing more than seeing her fame and craftsmanship, and wanted to find her to open a shop in Dongcheng together.
But Su Tang didn't have this idea at all, she simply refused, everyone was quiet, and the reason for her refusal was also very simple.
These people came here early in the morning without saying anything, and they brought so many gifts, so she will accept it or not.
If you accept it, you need to talk about cooperation. If you don't accept it, it won't look good.
Su Tang only felt that these people must think that she was young, and if they came up to coax her, maybe they would cooperate.
Otherwise, among so many contestants, come to her directly
If those with rich backgrounds, such as Huang Yuetong and others, would they dare to come directly to them
That must not dare.
Besides, it's not good for her to visit three families at once, who she gets close to and who she neglects. It's better to go out and wait until she understands the situation.
Not to mention, Su Tang is very accurate in seeing people.
The three of them really had such an idea. The three of them left Su Tang's house, but they still refused to give up.
They each figured out how to get in touch with Su Tang.
It's normal for those of them who do business to hit a wall once, and it's better not to take account of it at all.
As long as you can make money, just scold them.
The most typical one is Liang Shi.
When he was returning from the west city to the east city, when he passed Fengshang Pavilion, his nose was so angry that his nose was crooked.
They are all neighbors. His business is getting worse and worse, but the next door is getting better and better. Can you not be angry
No matter what, he wanted to get Su Tang over.
As long as he can get Su Tang over, he can do any conspiracy.
After all, being able to make money is better than anything else.
But in the past few days, Liang Shi tried all the methods, but failed to get into Su Tang's house again.
Except for the first time, she was not at home every time I went there, and I didn't know if it was true. Anyway, the door was closed, and the neighbors said so.
Liang Shi went to the second aunt's house next door to Su Tang, but the second aunt closed the door directly, saying that she was not related to Su Tang, and told him not to come again.
After many times, everyone knows that Su Tang is not so easy to agree.
Su Tang is in Mengjing Pavilion at this time. If we say that when it first opened, people saw the potential of Mengjing Pavilion, but now Mengjing Pavilion is slowly developing its strength.
Su Tang was sitting in her own box, eating snacks.
Huang Yuetong was invited by Su Tang, with surprise on his face.
"I heard that there are your shares in it, but I didn't expect to be able to sit here and eat." Huang Yuetong took a bite of tiramisu carefully, with a very happy expression on his face.
"You said you wanted to come, so I brought you here." Su Tang smiled and took a sip of milk tea.
Such a leisurely life is really good, with ice cubes blowing air-conditioning, drinking milk tea, eating snacks, and listening to the sound of silk and bamboo.
It would have been even better with some potato chips.
It's a pity that there are no potatoes now, not even sweet potatoes, so why don't you fry some taro chips
It’s not enough for Mengjing Pavilion to only have desserts, they must actively innovate!
Su Tang was already distracted, but Huang Yuetong was explaining: "Tangtang, don't you know how popular this Dreamland Pavilion is? There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, but they all squeezed their heads to come here. In the past, your Dreamland Pavilion limited the number of people. At that time, many people were queuing up. Now the reservation system is required, and you can only make an appointment three days in advance, which is too difficult. Although my family is a family of royal chefs, it is not well-known in the capital. Come here, at least half a year later."
What Huang Yuetong said is not an exaggeration, after all, don't look at who opened this Mengjing Pavilion.
But Mengjing Pavilion is so popular not only because of the different identities of the masters behind the scenes, but also because the dim sum in Mengjing Pavilion is really delicious.
And the story of tiramisu also caused a lot of tears.
I heard that there are already storytellers, and they add fuel to the story and tell this story, which makes tiramisu's reputation even hotter.
That is to say, the raw materials are not enough now, otherwise, if there is unlimited supply of desserts, the sales amount will be astonishing.
Su Tang also felt a little embarrassed when she heard Huang Yuetong praise Mengjing Pavilion.
But seeing the people below queuing up to buy snacks, Su Tang also knew that Mengjing Pavilion was really popular.
Moreover, it became popular in the circle of dignitaries and nobles. Many wives and ladies of aristocratic families came to drink milk tea and eat snacks.
This makes many people yearn for it.
Think about it, such powerful ladies like it, and they want to try it too!
This caused the entire capital to talk about Dreamland Pavilion, and those who have been here are all glory, and they can be used as talking points at banquets.
As for those who have never been here, they can only shut up, and they cannot participate in this kind of topic at all.
As a result, many people want to come, and the more people come, it becomes popular, and anyone who does not go seems to be left behind.
Su Tang is well versed in this kind of psychology, so he has long been mentally prepared for the fact that the entire capital is chasing Mengjing Pavilion, and he will not feel surprised at all.
But in the eyes of the stewards of Mengjing Pavilion, her surprise was nothing short of calm.
Seeing that Su Tang was ordinary, he turned out to be a very successful person.
No wonder I was able to cooperate with their young lady.
No matter how you talk or handle things, you are not inferior to Miss Da.
Su Tang didn't even know that other people's evaluation of her had gone up to a higher level.
When she came here recently, she was completely hiding from the people who were looking for her to cooperate. Then she was not looking for cooperation, and she was about to be forced directly.
So Su Tang just came to Dreamland Pavilion when he was free, and he could even make some new desserts.
There are more materials here than at home.
Today, I just called Huang Yuetong to come over to eat together.
It's also flattering.
Huang Yuetong also thought about what happened to Su Tang recently, and frowned, "Those people really have been blocking your door?"
Su Tang was pursued by many people to cooperate, and many people knew it.
After all, several people who participated in the God of Cooking Competition were harassed to varying degrees.
Su Tang is the first place, so he will definitely not be let go.
Su Tang smiled: "I don't care about them, I don't think they will come back in a few days, anyway, I don't want to cooperate with them."
"Others are fine, but that Liang Shi, please don't pay attention to him." Huang Yuetong has lived in Dongcheng all the time, and she still knows the restaurants here very well. It was cheated from others, Liang Shi originally opened a restaurant with his younger brother, but he didn't expect the business to be very good, this Liang Shi directly drove his younger brother away."
"Back then my younger brother trusted him, so I didn't write any agreement, but now it's over, and going to the government office to sue is just a small amount of money, and the restaurant still belongs to Liang Shi."
Su Tang was very impressed with Liang Shi, he was the first person who proposed to give her a dividend.
I didn't expect to look amicable, but secretly do such a thing.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't cooperate with this person." Su Tang nodded, "They just want to use our name to make a fortune because of the popularity of our players. When the time comes, the restaurant business is not good, or If the food is not tasty, we must be responsible for it."
Huang Yuetong deeply agreed, and her father also said the same thing.
After all, the business of a restaurant can't rely on only one chef, and the chef can't be locked up in the back kitchen every day to cook.
Anyway, the restaurant business is not that simple.
Now that they are cooperating eagerly, if something really happens, Su Tang will definitely bear it.
Huang Yuetong admired Su Tang very much. If she was Su Tang, she would definitely not think so long-term.
But Su Tang still thought about it, this is too powerful.
After all, so many people brought gifts and bank notes, ordinary people would be tempted.
But Su Tang doesn't have it, which is better than many people.
The two of them ate and drank in Mengjing Pavilion, but when Liang Shi was mentioned casually, his expression turned ugly.
Recently, he has been unlucky. The good business of the fashion shop next door is enough to make him angry.
And that damn girl Su Tang.
He's just a poor man in the west city, why is he so difficult.
How could it be possible to avoid sending money over by myself.
It's just that you are so proud of opening two small shops
But he still begged for Su Tang, and wanted to make up for his smile.
Someone told him recently, don't bother Su Tang, saying that she has big shots above her.
It's funny, what big can there be
Could it be that her kind of cook who can only cook can still know Lord Hou and the Emperor
That is to say, Liang Shi's ordinary character is not good, his family is not a high-ranking official, nor is he a big businessman.
Otherwise, he should have heard about Su Tang's relationship with Mengjing Pavilion, so he wouldn't dare to pester him anymore.
But he doesn't know anything.
So the next decision, he will regret for the rest of his life.
While Liang Shi was eating, he and his concubine were still scolding Su Tang.
"I don't know where the wild girl came from. She is shameless. Wait until she comes to work with me and see how I deal with her." Liang Shi sipped his wine and cursed.
The concubine said strangely: "Master, didn't you say that giving her a dividend would count as cooperation?"
"Cooperation? Giving dividends is cooperation? The store is mine, and she just comes over to cook dishes honestly. I can't take care of her for a little girl?" Liang Shi was dishonest, and said to his concubine, "But she is Don't take the bait, let me find a way to deal with her severely, this kind of person is shameless."
The concubine said flatteringly: "It's still our master who is powerful, and he can definitely deal with that little girl. But didn't someone say that she has a backer? Are you not afraid, master?"
"Backstage? She really has a backstage. Why don't you come to Dongcheng to open a restaurant? You still don't have the skills, so you just watch it. The Xicheng restaurant will have a good show soon."
Liang Shi was so dizzy from drinking that he was still harboring bad thoughts.
Su Tang came home from Mengjing Pavilion, and was relieved when she saw that the people at the door had already left.
The tofu seller next door hurriedly said, "They came to see it today, and they didn't stay much."
Su Tang said thanks.
It is still useful to have a good relationship with the neighbors around you.
Usually she doesn't need to say anything, everyone helps her.
Su Tang pushed open the door, breathing a sigh of relief anytime.
She's getting tired of desserts recently, okay? She really doesn't want to go to Dreamland Pavilion anymore.
In comparison, she still prefers to eat Chinese dim sum, the kind of preserved fruit and plums, which are the best to kill time.
I hope these people don't come to the door again in the future!
Hope they get out of trouble!
It's not that she doesn't want to open a restaurant in Dongcheng. In fact, what she wants to open most is not a breakfast shop or a fast food restaurant.
It's a private chef.
It is best to drive in a remote alley, and you can do whatever you want, and eat whatever your guests want.
Isn't such a small restaurant good
But this wish must be made after the God of Cooking Competition is over. It would be better if the popularity drops and her relationship with Qi Tianyun will go further.
Let her quietly open a small private kitchen.
Of course, this wish is still a bit far away.
It is not impossible to open an ordinary restaurant, but it depends on who you open with.
Someone like Liang Shi would definitely not work.
Su Tang thought about it, and decided to go to Xicheng Restaurant to have lunch, and didn't bother to cook by herself.
But as soon as she arrived, she saw that Xicheng restaurant was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
There was a lively discussion there.
"It's your fast food that killed my husband! It's you!"
"Sister-in-law, why did you just leave like this, what should we do if we are left as orphans and widowed mothers?"
"Dad, Dad, wake up, wake up."
These voices reached Su Tang's ears, and before she got close, someone recognized her.
"Su Tang is here!"
"Su Tang is here? Let's see what's going on!"
The staff and managers of Xicheng Restaurant were all standing at the door. Li Fan had already sent someone to find Su Tang, but he didn't expect that the owner had already arrived.
As soon as Su Tang took a step forward, the woman grabbed the hem of her clothes: "You are the owner of Xicheng Restaurant? You killed my husband, see if I don't kill you!"
Su Tang had just arrived here, so she didn't know the situation at all, but now she was caught and almost fell down.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Su Tang's arms were tightly grasped, and he stood firm.
Su Tang looked back and saw that it was Qi Tianyun who hadn't seen him for a few days.
Why is there him everywhere.
Qi Tianyun said, "Let's deal with things first."
Su Tang nodded, with the guards around Qi Tianyun protecting her, she was no longer afraid of this woman.
Su Tang didn't say anything else, but went to Li Fan: "Did you call for a doctor? Can't you save him?"
Make sure people are safe first, and then talk about other things.
Li Fan looked distressed: "I called the doctor immediately, but the doctor came, but the person still couldn't be saved. The doctor said that the person was in a hurry, and it took only a quarter of an hour."
Why did you go in such a hurry
Su Tang never imagined that there would be a murder case in his own restaurant.
Seeing the orphan and widow crying so hard, Su Tang knelt down, looked at the woman and said, "Why don't we get up first and find someone to properly place your husband's body, and the real cause of death will not be known until the doctor examines it carefully. "
Su Tang's tone was comforting, she was dragged by this woman just now, but her husband left in such a hurry, it's normal for her to feel upset.
So don't get angry about these things.
But as soon as Su Tang finished speaking, the woman pushed her away directly: "I want you to be hypocritical here! There must be something wrong with the things in your store! They ate people to death!"
Qi Tianyun frowned, and was about to finish when Su Tang stopped him.
Su Tang knew that this matter was difficult to deal with, but the woman directly said that it was because of a problem with the food in her shop that she died.
She definitely can't bear this kind of blame.
"Tell me about the situation. Why do you say that my family's food killed your husband-in-law? What evidence is there?" Su Tang's voice was unhurried, making people feel comfortable listening to it. See how he died."
"Fuck, who wants to hire Wu Zuo! You are rich and powerful in Xicheng, and you can say that black is white! What if you bribe Wu Zuo? My husband eats in your restaurant, and he walks in your restaurant. It's not your fault!?" The woman wiped her face and immediately began to scold.
Su Tang understood a little at this moment, it was probably someone who came to find fault.
If any family member passed away, would they not care about Xianggong, but would hold her tightly
But using human life to find fault still made her feel chills.
At this time, Li Fan also came to explain the situation.
It turned out that the husband of the woman was a helper with the boat. The boat docked yesterday and was going to rest recently, so he brought his wife and children over for dinner today.
But the wife took care of the crying child and didn't eat anything, but her husband ate more than half of it.
But before the food in his mouth was swallowed, he fell down.
So there was this tragedy.
The woman was crying loudly on the first floor of Xicheng Restaurant holding her husband's body.
Weeping and shouting that Xicheng Restaurant killed her husband.
That's why a lot of people are pointing fingers here.
Su Tang's eyes were slightly closed, how could it be such a coincidence.
To put it bluntly, in her restaurant, hundreds of meals are sold every day without any problems, but something happened to this one.
Su Tang didn't know how to shirk responsibility, but this woman only cried and didn't cry, it was a bit strange.
But there are consequences for her making such a fuss.
The Xicheng Restaurant, which was supposed to be a thriving business, now no one dared to come in, at most they just watched the bustle at the door.
After all, things eat people to death!
This is a big deal!
Could it be that there are really problems with the food in their restaurant
Just when everyone was puzzled, the woman started to shout again: "You Xicheng restaurant has meat in every lunch box, and it is sold so cheaply, there must be something wrong! Is it made of sick chicken and pork!"
"I think you just use bad meat to make box lunches, so you can sell them cheaply."
"My husband, why are you greedy for cheap and come here to eat!"
When this sentence came out, many people were blown away.
That's right, the boxed lunches at Xicheng Restaurant are always cheap, and the meat is really good. Can this really make money
Even if you make money, you earn very little.
Is there really a shopkeeper so conscientious
Once you have doubts in your heart, everyone can make up a lot of things by themselves.
Su Tang listened to what she said, and said directly: "There is no proof, it's better to be cautious."
"Why are you so cautious? Everyone, take a look, the Xicheng restaurant is bullying customers! This is not letting me speak! You killed my husband-in-law, do you still want to kill me? Do you still want to kill my child? "The woman cried and cursed, and the rest of the words were unbearable.
Even cry with the children.
Su Tang looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and then asked Li Fan, "Did you report to the police?"
Report to the official
When many people heard about the government, they were actually afraid, and Li Fan hadn't gone yet.
Seeing this, Su Tang said, "Quickly report to the official and let the official deal with it. And where are the leftover meals, keep them all well, watch them, and don't let anyone approach them."
After Su Tang finished speaking, Qi Tianyun glanced at her.
The reason to keep people away is because they are afraid that someone will add ingredients to the leftover food. Then Xicheng Restaurant will really have no way to argue.
This kind of meticulous thinking, only the veteran judges have this kind of judgment.
Su Tang looked at the customers who hadn't left in the shop, and said: "Everyone who comes to eat here must trust Xicheng Restaurant. If anyone is willing to stay and be a witness, I must be very grateful."
As he said that, Su Tang bowed to the people inside: "Everyone knows that my restaurant only sells boxed lunches. Everyone puts them in the same pot and distributes them to everyone. This woman said that her husband is eating There is a problem with something in my house, how can it be such a coincidence, everyone is fine, and he is the only one?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was asking questions.
Yeah, how could it be such a coincidence
Maybe it happened that this person had some kind of disease? Died in Xicheng Restaurant
Su Tang finally managed to stabilize the situation, if she waited for the woman to cry non-stop, she would say a few more nonsense words.
She really can't open this shop in the future.
She has nothing to do with herself, she can do anything.
But now there are fifty or sixty people waiting to eat in her shop, and when the door closes, everyone wants to drink the northwest wind.
People from the government quickly came over, and the leading arrester saw Qi Tianyun here and almost saluted, but fortunately seeing the hint from Lord Hou, he couldn't help the urge to kneel down and handle the case quickly.
But it is a matter of human life, so it must not be done hastily.
Both the corpse and the witnesses were arrested and taken to Shuntian Mansion, and the Xicheng Restaurant was temporarily closed.
All of a sudden, everyone in the shop panicked and looked at Su Tang.
Su Tang tried to calm everyone's minds, and said: "Everyone, don't panic. If we didn't do it, we didn't do it. The materials we used are also the best. We have a clear conscience. Let's rest for the next few days, and everything will be fine. .”
That is to say, but as the owner of Xicheng Restaurant, Su Tang must be going to Shuntian Mansion.
Speaking of which, Su Tang has dealt with people from Shuntian Mansion several times.
But it was the first time to actually go to Shuntian Mansion.
The onlookers never imagined that things would develop to this point.
This is just an ordinary noon. Why did someone die in Xicheng Restaurant? Not only did he die, but the owner of Xicheng Restaurant also went to Shuntian Mansion with him
That's the Yamen.
Many people were worried, followed by the staff of Xicheng Restaurant, and the small vendors who provided various ingredients to Xicheng Restaurant.
Su Tang was on the way, accompanied by Mr. Accountant, Li Fan, and Master Hao.
After all, the three of them are the stewards here, so they must follow.
Su Tang has been thinking about why this is.
Will there be problems with his food
If there is a big pot of rice, if there is a problem, it will also go wrong together. Basically, this kind of situation will not happen.
Or is there something wrong with that person
There is also the attitude of the family members of the deceased, all of which are doubtful.
Qi Tianyun was still following Su Tang, and said, "It's fine, we'll find out when the government officials interrogate."
This is true.
But Su Tang looked at Qi Tianyun strangely: "Why are you still following?"
Qi Tianyun said indifferently: "I am familiar with the people in the government office."
Are you more familiar? Obviously they are more afraid of you.
Qi Tianyun also knew about this, so he rushed over.
But seeing the woman crying, Qi Tianyun had an idea in his heart, but there was no evidence for the time being, so it's not good to speak out.
The news that Su Tang was taken to Shuntian Mansion spread throughout the entire West City. He was obviously proud of himself a few days ago and won the first place in the sixth round of the God of Cooking Competition, but now he is involved in the murder case.
Or someone died in her restaurant.
This kind of event caused many people to talk about it.
But many people have mixed feelings about Su Tang. On the one hand, they admit that she is indeed a good person and helps everyone make money.
But on the other hand, there are many people who are jealous of Su Tang.
It's just that everything went well with Su Tang before, so everyone didn't say anything.
Now that Su Tang is imprisoned in the government office, who doesn't say a few gossips.
Su Tang would definitely be terrified.
This is what many people think.
It was also Liang Shi's idea.
But the servant Liang Shi sent saw Su Tang's expression, so he had no choice but to go back and report.
"That Su Tang looked normal, he wasn't frightened at all, he seemed to be chatting and laughing with a handsome man beside him, nothing happened at all."
Liang Shi frowned, how could this be possible.
Who will be involved in the murder will not be in a hurry
Su Tang can be an exception!
He doesn't believe it!
"Go to investigate again, and tell me the progress of the case! Go!"
