Many people came excitedly, but left disappointed and helpless. ()
By this morning, Gui Linju was already deserted.
He Ying couldn't figure out how this could happen, it was obviously a cash cow, yet it withered and died in an instant.
She was in a hurry, so she took a carriage early this morning to return to Linju in person.
It wasn't until she tasted Gui Linju's dishes that she realized what was going on.
The dishes of Guilinju, which were praised so much by the people in Shengjing, are simply unpalatable now, even far inferior to the cooks in Jing'anbo's mansion!
He Ying was furious, and went to the shopkeeper to inquire.
The shopkeeper was newly transferred from the property under Mrs. He's name. He was also an old man with many years of experience in running a shop. With a goatee, he looked very shrewd at first glance.
Under He Ying's persecution, the shopkeeper revealed the whole story.
The cooks, assistants, and accountants in Guilin House had all been replaced. It wasn't because they didn't want to find them back, but because they couldn't be found at all.
Gui Linju's team in Chu Lian's hands had disbanded and left years ago, and there was no one to find.
They wanted to drive Gui Linju as soon as possible, so they had no choice but to find another person.
But the people have been found, but the original taste can't be found.
You know, the original dishes that Gui Linju cooked were all made with the secret recipe of the third grandma, so how could she easily teach others.
In the beginning, it was Steward Qin who chose the cook, and Xi Yanlai personally taught the recipes and methods of the dishes.
The people of the Great Wu Dynasty attached great importance to secret recipes, and even many skills were passed on from men to women, even if they were to accept apprentices, it would depend on whether the master was willing to teach them. As the saying goes, the master who taught his apprentices to starve to death, the cooks who had returned to Linju had been taught by Xi Yan, and treated Xi Yan as a master from the bottom of their hearts, so how could they casually pass on the secret recipe of the dishes
The great aunt He Ying gritted her teeth and slammed the table hard, causing the teacup on the table to rattle.
No wonder Chu Lian returned Guilinju to the old matriarch so happily at that time, it turned out to be set here!
But when it was handed over to the restaurant, Chu Lian made it clear in person that since Gui Linju was returned to Mrs. He, then everything had nothing to do with her.
So He Ying can't go to Chu Lian openly and ask her to bring back the original crew who returned to Linju.
He Ying was so angry that at this moment, an old nanny hurried in.
He Ying was suffocating with anger, seeing this flustered servant was about to get angry.
But without waiting for He Ying to get angry, the old mother said anxiously: "Grandma, it's not good!"
"What happened again? Say!"
The old mother took a step forward, hurriedly took out a few letters from her cuffs, and held them to the eldest aunt with both hands.
He Ying took the letters, saw the name of the mansion on the envelope, shook her hands, and almost threw the letters on the ground.
Duke Zheng's Mansion, Yang Mansion, Marquis Fu'an Mansion, Duke Ding's Mansion...
They are all powerful nobles or high-ranking officials in Shengjing City.
Although the current status of the Jing'an House is not ordinary, it cannot afford so many big bosses to write "condolences" at the same time...
She couldn't figure out why these people were so nice, why they wrote letters to the Jing'anbo mansion, and even sent them to her.
She is strange and disturbed.
Taking a deep breath, He Ying opened the first letter, which was a personal letter from Mr. Yang, one of the cabinet ministers.
When He Ying finished reading the ten lines at a glance, she was stunned.
Thousands of possibilities for these people to write to the Jing'an Mansion flashed through her mind, but she never thought of this kind of thing!
Master Yang actually wrote a letter blatantly reprimanding her for destroying Guilin Juban and ruining the "sacred place" that produces the most delicious food in Shengjing.
The great aunt really wanted to squirt a mouthful of old blood on the letter paper.
She slapped the letter paper on the table vigorously, wishing to throw the thin but harsh letter paper into the brazier, and let them be reduced to ashes.
Pan Nianzhen was sitting next to her mother, and of course she saw what was written on the letter paper at a glance, and she was immediately furious.
Where is it that they don't want to run the restaurant well? It's clear that Chu Lian deliberately made things difficult for them. If she didn't transfer all the people who originally returned to Linju, mother would be condemned like this
Even Pan Nianzhen, who was a bit cowardly, was full of jealousy and hatred towards Chu Lian at this time.
When they are resentful and resentful to others, they never think about it. Gui Linju is what they want to snatch it with all their heart, and it shouldn't be theirs in the first place. Do they expect to steal other people's things, and others will talk nicely about it? Give you something else
There is nothing so good in the world.
He Ying opened several letters one after another, and her face became darker and darker. Even the old Zheng Guogong who ignored the court affairs wrote letters, and the words in the letters were still very sharp. The sinner who robbed him of his bread.
The eldest aunt He Ying secretly scolded Old Zheng Guogong in her heart, and she couldn't read the rest of the letter anymore.
She pinched the handkerchief bitterly, as if she wanted to tear up the handkerchief as Chu Lian to vent her anger.
Pan Nianzhen hadn't seen her mother so angry for a long time. Ever since she returned to Shengjing City and lived in the Jing'anbo Mansion, her mother was always in a good mood. With the love and protection of her grandmother, she and her mother almost wanted anything. have what.
The luxurious life in Jing'anbo's mansion is simply not comparable to that in Siyang, no wonder her mother has been talking about how good the capital is in her ears.
She stepped forward and shook her mother's arm, "Mother, don't be angry, it's not your fault. Why don't we go to Songtao Garden to find out the situation?"
There must be something wrong with He Sanlang and Chu Lian coming back from the British government so early. The people in Songtao Garden are very tight-lipped. If they want to find any clues, they have to go there in person.
And she hasn't seen third cousin for several days.
Pan Nianzhen thought shyly.
I don't know if it was He Changdi's intention or he was aware of it, but now whether he is going to Mrs. He or Madam Jing'an, he will deliberately miss Pan Nianzhen.
After thinking about it, He Ying felt that what her daughter said made sense.
Immediately nodded in agreement.
"Come on, let's go and have a look, I don't believe we can't find this Chu family's weakness!"
As long as Chu Lian's weaknesses are grasped, there is no fear that she will not hand over the original team of Lin Ju.
The mother and daughter made wishful thinking, and after tidying up, they took the maid to Songtao Garden.
Half an hour later, the mother and daughter arrived outside Songtao Garden.
Before stepping into the courtyard gate, the eldest aunt suddenly sniffled.
"What's the smell, so fragrant?"
Pan Nianzhen also smelled it, she couldn't help swallowing, and looked towards the courtyard, "Mother, it seems to be coming from the courtyard."
He Ying's face darkened, and she immediately looked ugly, but at the same time, she couldn't control the secretion of saliva in her mouth.
She has come to Jing'anbo's mansion for so many days, so she naturally knew Chu Lian's secret recipes for many dishes, and some of the dishes made by the recipes were even more delicious than those made by the royal chef in the palace.
The cook in the small kitchen in the old matriarch's yard has only learned a few tricks from Xiyan, and the food she cooks now is much more delicious than that of ordinary honorable people, let alone Chu Lian's own yard.
