Ugly man is hard to marry

On the fifth day of March, Du Yishan personally went to Ma Cheng'an's residence with the gift list.Ma Cheng'an greeted him early, took him into the mansion, and divided the guests and hosts into seats.

Du Yishan asked Wei Chongyan to hand over the gift list, first said a few greetings and greetings, then changed the subject, and suggested: "Du came to Guangning for a year, and he didn't do anything for Master Ma. Mr. Lao has put in so much thought, but Du has nothing to repay, so he wants to take advantage of this birthday to hold a Spring Festival banquet in my Guiyun Villa to celebrate his birthday."

Ma Cheng'an was flattered, thanked him repeatedly, and said in a panic: "How dare you do this. Lord Hou can remember the birthday of the subordinate, and the subordinate is already very grateful. How dare you disturb the family again, and the work is uneasy. What kind of birthday banquet will you hold for me? "

Du Yishan said with a smile: "This is also my selfishness, I hope your lord will fulfill it."

Ma Chengan was puzzled, with a puzzled face, and asked, "This..."

Du Yishan smiled and explained to him in detail: "Congratulating the lord on his birthday is just one of them. The second thing is, taking the opportunity of the Spring Festival banquet, in the name of celebrating the lord's birthday. Everyone is invited to hold a culinary competition, firstly for the sake of excitement and celebration, secondly to rank up, and only the chef who wins the championship at the end is eligible to cook this Spring Festival banquet for Madam Ma."

Ma Cheng'an's face was full of smiles, but he was even more confused. It sounds like this culinary competition has nothing to do with Du Yishan. How can it be his selfishness?

Ma Chengan thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.But no matter what, this matter was Du Yishan's great honor to him, and it was only good for him, not bad at all.What could be more dignified than letting Lord Hou work hard to hold a birthday banquet for him.To say that this proposal is really good, Guangning Mansion has not held such a grand event for many years.Since Du Yishan wanted to take the lead in hosting the Spring Festival banquet, why would he not follow suit.

Ma Cheng'an agreed on the spot, and said countless "too much work", sighing in his heart: "If you have money, you will be willful. Spending thousands of taels of silver to hold a cooking competition is simply spending money to buy fun."

The matter was settled like this, Du Yishan asked Ma Chengan not to worry about it, and just waited to be his birthday man, and he could go to Guiyun Villa for a banquet on the tenth day of the lunar new year.

Ma Cheng'an thanked him again and again, sent Du Yishan out of the mansion, and went back to buy new clothes without mentioning it.

This move was not Du Yishan's whim, the Spring Festival banquet and cooking competition, everything, of course, was for Fang Yunxuan.

The Shijin Building was sealed off, and Fang Yunxuan could no longer open the restaurant. This matter was always a thorn in his heart, and no matter how long it took, Fang Yunxuan would never let it go.

Hosting the Spring Festival Banquet, on the one hand, can give Fang Yunxuan a chance to get back to his old business, and on the other hand, he wants to clear his grievances and return justice to Shijinlou.

Du Yishan had been sending people to secretly investigate the clues of Li Dashan's case, but found nothing for many days. Finally, a few days ago, news came from He Shuangkui, saying that he had found important witnesses, and he could clear Fang Yunxuan's grievances in one fell swoop.

Du Yishan immediately went to the Heming Gang to find out the reason, and after discussing with He Shuangkui for a long time, he felt that it would be too cheap for the person who framed Fang Yunxuan to report the whole matter to the government.

Such a villain, if he is not in front of the world, he will be ruined, and he will never be able to stand up again, and he will never be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Thinking of the [-] sticks that Fang Yunxuan suffered, Du Yishan gritted his teeth with hatred. Fang Yunxuan suffered so much during the three months in prison, and even Du Yishan, who was waiting outside the prison, seemed to be roasted with oil. , irritable and heartbroken all day long, wishing to suffer for him.

The crime Fang Yunxuan suffered is still vivid in his memory, Du Yishan couldn't swallow this breath, he really wished to kill the person who framed Fang Yunxuan.

After a few days of calculation, Du Yishan came up with this idea. He wanted to hold a Spring Festival banquet and invited all the cooks from Guangning Mansion to come and try their cooking skills.This move will definitely attract countless people to participate in the competition, plus the dignitaries who will come to celebrate Ma Cheng'an's birthday, there can be tens of thousands of participants.

As long as Fang Yunxuan passes five levels and kills six generals, and wins in the arena, then it will be the best opportunity to rectify Fang Yunxuan's name in front of the world, and then expose the black hands behind the scenes in one fell swoop, and deal with him in public. He is much more relieved to deal with it.

The Spring Festival banquet was scheduled for the tenth day of March, Du Yishan started to prepare for it after returning from Ma Cheng'an's residence.

Post notices at the gates of the four cities, on the streets and alleys, and in conspicuous places, explaining the rules and regulations of the culinary competition and the qualifications of the contestants. In addition, it is stated at the end: All winners will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and Ma Chengan, the magistrate, will be rewarded. The plaque of "Guangning No. [-] Kitchen" written by himself.

These two bonuses were very tempting, and the plaque alone attracted cooks from both inside and outside Guangning Mansion to compete.

Silver is just a dead object. Although a thousand taels of silver is not a small number, it is still dead after all. The more you spend it, the less money it can produce.

That plaque is different, the profit inside is much bigger than silver, the "First Chef" judged by the magistrate himself, what an advertising effect, just hang this plaque at the door of the shop, no need to speak, customers They have to run to the store in a hurry.No matter how many generations it has been passed on, it is an object that becomes more valuable as it is passed on.

In just two days, more than [-] restaurants and chefs had signed up. After three rounds of screening, three restaurants and three chefs were finally selected to enter the finals.

Du Yishan pushed Fang Yunxuan out because he was confused. After three days of cooking competitions, he gradually came back to the senses.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Du Yishan was not a person who liked to be lively. For no reason, why did he think of holding a Spring Festival banquet in the villa?

After asking Du Yishan a few times, he always hesitated to talk about other things, Fang Yunxuan simply didn't ask, these few days he competed with others, thinking about how to cook and how to win every day, he felt much happier in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't let it go, Fang Yunxuan couldn't help smiling bitterly, this might be his last chance to cook for others, Fang Yunxuan didn't want to miss it, even if he couldn't win, he would have to have enough fun before giving up.

The final was scheduled for the tenth day of March, and there were lanterns and festoons at Guiyun Villa on this day.A high platform was set up in the courtyard in front of the main hall. Du Yishan, Ma Chengan and several rich Jia Xiangkun from Guangning Prefecture sat on the high platform, and Li Dashan was also among them.

There are six tables set up under the stage. On the tables are the knives and seasonings used for cooking. Next to the tables are pots and stoves. Six stoves are temporarily built. When the chefs cook, they add firewood to the stove.

This is a grand event that has not been seen in many years. The people in Guangning Mansion have been looking forward to it for a long time. For several days, as early as the first knockout round, many people from nearby villages and towns came to watch. Today is the final final. Come and watch The bustling common people were even more crowded into three floors inside and three floors outside.

Du Yishan asked people to open the gate of the villa, let the common people in, circled the venue, and sent special personnel to manage the order to prevent random crowding and trampling on the common people.

Seeing that everything was ready, Du Yishan called Wei Chongyan to announce the start of the match.

Wei Chongyan shouted, and invited the three restaurants and three chefs who entered the finals.

"Juxianju, Chen Xing. Huihailou, Zhao Bin. Mantangchun Restaurant, Liu Mantang. In addition, there are three solo chefs, Qian Hai, Sun Ping, and Fang Yunxuan."

When Fang Yunxuan was read, there was an uproar on the stage, Li Dashan jumped up first, and shouted: "Fang Yunxuan? Why did you let this disaster in? You are not afraid of eating it up, but I am. Get this man out quickly. Fork out!"

The people in the audience also whispered, "The Shijin Building was open well, but it was suddenly closed. I heard that the food there was not clean, and people died from eating it. Ouch, I dare not eat the food made by such a cook." Eating, no matter how delicious it is, it’s not as important as your life, isn’t it?”

Another person also echoed: "Isn't that right? Thanks to the fact that I used to go to Shijinlou for dinner, I heard that something happened to his house, and I was so regretful that my intestines turned green. I specially invited a doctor to take a pulse, and then I put my heart at ease." Go back to your stomach."

Another asked: "After talking for a long time, the doctor diagnosed you with something wrong. Did you eat something unclean? Did it go bad?"

"That's not true. It's just that the virtual fire is too strong, so I prescribed two pairs of herbal tea."

Everyone scolded: "Bah! It's nothing, what are you talking about!"

Chen Xing also took the opportunity to yell, pointing at Fang Yun and scolding: "I remember that the magistrate once issued a strict order not to allow Fang Yunxuan to open a restaurant again. A cook who cooks and eats bad people, what qualifications does he have to come here to compete? What are you waiting for? ? I feel shabby when I stand with him!"

Li Dashan even claimed that it was true, and called out again and again, intending to send Fang Yunxuan off the court immediately.

Ma Cheng'an looked embarrassed, he looked at Du Yishan, wondering: "Master Hou, this..."

Du Yishan smiled lightly, stood up, and said loudly to the audience: "Everyone, there are still many doubts about Shijinlou, and shopkeeper Fang has also been wronged. Du can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with the food in Shijinlou. If you don't believe me, the dishes will be served in a while, and Du can taste them first, and if there is nothing wrong, then we can taste them with everyone in the village."

As soon as Du Yishan's words came out, Chen Xingxian shrank his neck in fright. The matter was handled cautiously, and it was impossible to find evidence.Surprised for a moment, Chen Xing felt relieved again, thinking that what Du Yishan said was probably an excuse for Fang Yunxuan to excuse him.

Heaved a sigh of relief, Chen Xing looked as usual, and continued to shout: "Master Hou said it lightly, you said that you are wronged, you are wronged? Isn't this clearly accusing Mr. Ma of doing things badly and failing to clear the case?"

Li Dashan also interjected: "Where is Fang Yunxuan wronged? My whole family has vomiting and diarrhea, and the food at Jinlou is the proof! Where is Fang Yunxuan wronged? It's clearly sophistry!"

Secretly using some dirty tricks to frame others, and using words to provoke the relationship between yourself and Ma Cheng'an in front of everyone, this villain will let you come and go today.

Glancing at Chen Xing coldly, Du Yishan smiled lightly, saying it's not time to clean him up yet, let him jump around for a while.
