Food and Live Streaming (14)

Mr. Hong looked at Lu Jingqian with a smile in his eyes and said, "You have worked hard today, and you accept this red envelope as an extra reward for you."

"Thank you, grandpa." Before Lu Jingqian came here, he had been told by Hong Boxiao that no matter what his grandpa gave him, he would just accept it. Don't refuse in front of so many people, or you will appear outsider .

Mr. Hong was very happy, not only because Lu Jingqian helped him earn enough face today, but also because Lu Jingqian would be part of their family in the future.

"Come on, you can accept my red envelope too." Elder Wu also took out a red envelope.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wu." Lu Jingqian walked over to accept the red envelope from Mr. Wu.

"And mine." Mr. Li also took out a red envelope.

"Thank you, Grandpa Li." Lu Jingqian walked up to Mr. Li again to thank him.

The old men all took out the red envelopes they had prepared and handed them to Lu Jingqian.

For wedding banquets and birthday banquets, it is already a custom to give red envelopes to the chef, but usually only the hosts do it, and few guests give red envelopes. Unless the food is quite satisfactory, the guests will give the chef red envelopes to express their appreciation. Kudos to the chef.

Every red envelope that Lu Jingqian got was very frivolous, so there was absolutely no money in it. With the wealth of these old men and their satisfaction with Lu Jingqian, what they gave him would definitely not be ordinary things.

If Lu Jingqian's food today can only be said to be pretty good, then whether Mr. Yan gives a red envelope today depends on his mood, but Lu Jingqian's food is not only better than they expected, but also makes them unable to go against their will It's hard to say, so Mr. Yan had to act as a representative and give Lu Jingqian a red envelope to express his praise.

"Thank you, Grandpa Yan." Lu Jingqian took the red envelope from Old Yan.

Mr. Yan looked at him and said, "I have been friends with your grandfather for decades. Seeing that you can cook Lanjia Kung Fu dishes so well now, I am very pleased for your grandfather. Your grandfather has always been the veteran of our food association. , I think he must not want to see the Lanjia Kungfu Cuisine leave the Food Association, we welcome you back anytime."

Mr. Yan's words sounded like he was trying to win Lu Jingqian overtly, but he actually wanted to provoke the relationship between Lu Jingqian and Hongyuan Villa.

Lu Jingqian was neither overbearing nor humble, and said quite calmly, "I learned to cook under the guidance of my grandfather since I was a child. The most common sentence he said to me was that the words "Lan's recipes" did not refer to those on the storefront. The signboard is not a recorded text. It is an instinctive reaction made by the brain and body after hard training. Therefore, Lanjia Kung Fu dishes are only in the hands of the master, not in any other place, and do not belong to any The place."

"That's a good point." Mr. Hong said, "The only thing that can represent a dish is the person who made it, not a store, let alone an unofficial association."

"Isn't there already an inheritor of Lan Family Kung Fu cuisine in your food association?" Mr. Wu said, "Since that is the candidate you value, it means that the Lan Family Kung Fu cuisine you recognize has never left your cuisine." association."

"Actually, I haven't figured it out for so many years. What is the meaning of the existence of the Food Association?" Mr. Xu has always either kept silent, or hit the nail on the head when he spoke.

"Yeah, why is there a gastronomy association?" Elder Zhang asked with a puzzled look on purpose.

"Who knows?" Mr. Li had an attitude of neither understanding nor caring, "Anyway, we are eating the best food and enjoying the best life now, so what do we care about so much?"

Those people from the Gastronomy Association listened to their sarcasm, and their faces were quite ugly. If they had never eaten real food before, they would naturally not understand the meaning of the existence of the Gourmet Association. By the way, they could attack them with pitiful eyes . But now that people eat better food than they do, they may ask others to make it if they want to eat it, but the food association does not have the best food, so what position do they have to fight back?

Hong Boxiao seemed to see the invisible shadows of swords and swords in the air. These old men were already old, and their fighting spirit had not diminished at all, fighting fiercely with swords and tongues. This match was obviously due to Lu Jingqian's excellent performance, and Mr. Hong's swords were sharper, so the outcome was clear.

"Grandpa, I'll take Shaoxuan to rest." Hong Boxiao decided to leave the battlefield to these old men, and it's better for young people not to participate.

"Go, go." Old Master Hong nodded and said, "He must be tired today, take him to have a good rest, don't make trouble with him."

"Understood, Grandpa." After Hong Boxiao agreed, he took Lu Jingqian's hand and left.

The so-called non-speculation is more than half a sentence. Mr. Hong and the others are showing off, so naturally it doesn't matter whether they are speculative or not, but Mr. Yan and the others, who are the party to be showing off, can't sit still for a long time.

Mr. Yan took the lead to stand up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, we will take our leave first."

Mr. Hong and the others also stood up and prepared to see off the guests, "You can come to the banquet, just to give me face and thank you. I will hold a birthday banquet next year, and I will send you invitations at that time. Do you remember to come? ah."

When Mr. Yan was in the car, he was still recalling the dishes of today's birthday banquet. No matter who has such a birthday banquet, he will feel that he has a special face. He has been working hard all his life to be able to eat the best dishes. , I didn't expect to be shown off by others in food in my later years.

Mr. Yan sighed for a long time. He really didn't expect that his good friend, the grandson who taught him so hard, could cook such a good dish, but he didn't reveal it at all. No matter what he thinks now, it is impossible for Lao Lan to hand over the Lan family recipes to Lan Mingze, and it is impossible to make such a will.

When Yan Bin heard his grandfather sigh, he sat beside him and didn't dare to make a sound, because he was ashamed today, and his grandfather must be angry. He felt that someone from the Hong family must have deliberately wanted to embarrass him, and he must find a way to avenge him.

Old Yan was restless and torn, and he didn't have the heart to teach him about today's embarrassing things. He was thinking about what method he could use to win Lu Jingqian over.

"You find a way to get in touch with Lan Shaoxuan and ask him what he wants before you are willing to leave Hongyuan Villa and join us. As long as he definitely puts forward the conditions, it proves that there is hope, and everything can be discussed." Boss Yan He said to Yan Bin with a straight face, "Don't think that I didn't know about the things you taught him secretly before, but I didn't understand his ability before, so I just turned a blind eye to your behavior. You'd better set him up first." Take a look at what he said to see if he knows what you did to him, if he knows, apologize to him immediately, and the attitude must be sincere enough to ensure that he can forgive you."

"Let me apologize to him? Grandpa..." Yan Bin said unconvinced, "He bullied Mingze so much before, and I taught him that it was his fault first, and he deserves to be taught a lesson."

"I don't care what you taught him before, if Lan Mingze is better than him, I can continue to pretend not to know." Yan Lao said, "But it is impossible for Lan Mingze to be better than Lan Shaoxuan in this life. It's amazing, so Lan Shaoxuan must be from our side, otherwise I won't rest in peace until I die."

"Is he... is he really that powerful?" Yan Bin questioned, but in fact, just seeing the performance of a few old people, he couldn't deny in his heart that Lu Jingqian was indeed better than Lan Mingze. Be great.

"Even if you haven't tasted the dishes he cooked by himself, don't you see them with your eyes? You must find a way to persuade him to participate in the competition after joining the Food Association before the start of this year's Best Cooking Competition. If you win If the chef with the best culinary skills of the year is not a member of our food association, it will be a disgrace to our food association, and the existence of the food association will also become a joke!"

"I see, I will try to contact him." Yan Bin replied in a low voice.

The best cooking competition of the year is a competition that all well-known restaurants will send chefs to participate in. The chefs who win the competition not only win honors for themselves, but also win honors for the restaurant they represent. Come more customers and popularity.

Since the establishment of the Gastronomy Association, every time the chefs who have joined their Gastronomy Association have won the competition, sometimes even only the chefs who have joined the Gastronomy Association are participating in the competition. If the best chef of the year is not a member of their food association, and even the best chef of the year in the future is no longer a member of their food association, then Yan Lao will have no face to be the chairman of the food association.

Lan Mingze is also going to represent the Lan Family Cuisine in the competition this year, so he has been taking the time to practice his cooking skills. Of course, what he practices is not the superb knife skills like Lu Jingqian. Even if he wants to practice, start practicing now It was too late, so the way he practiced cooking was to constantly adjust the taste when cooking, trying to get the best taste.

In his and Yan Bin's love nest, Lan Mingze was practicing cooking while waiting for Yan Bin, who had gone to the birthday banquet, to come back. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately turned off the fire and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

"You're back?" Lan Mingze stepped forward to hug Yan Bin and said, "I miss you."

"I miss you too." Yan Bin patted him on the back, then pushed him away to walk in.

Lan Mingze was stunned for a moment, followed him inside, and asked, "How was today's birthday banquet?"

"Today's birthday banquet..." Yan Bin sighed, sat down on the sofa and said, "The birthday banquet was very well organized, so good that my grandfather and the others were jealous, and my grandfather also said that if you don't win over When it comes to Lan Shaoxuan, he will die with regret."

Lan Mingze clenched his fists tightly, and said with drooping eyes, "Is he really that good at cooking? Did he really cook it himself?"

"He cooks in front of everyone. Although I haven't tasted the dishes he made by himself, my grandpa and the others spent decades studying food, but they were finally impressed by his cooking skills, so his chef It's obvious what the art is."

"Your grandfather asked you to win him over?" Lan Mingze said, "He must have a contract with Hongyuan Villa, can he be won over?"

"My grandfather is determined this time. No matter what conditions he asks, he will agree to him. As long as he is willing to leave Hongyuan Villa, liquidated damages are nothing at all." Yan Bin glanced at him and said, "Even if he is not moved by money , but we have the Lan family's recipes here, so it's impossible for him not to be tempted."

"Lan's recipe?" Lan Mingze was startled, his eyes widened and he said, "The Lan's recipe is mine! I will not give the Lan's recipe to anyone, especially Lan Shaoxuan!"

Yan Bin pulled him to sit down, shook his hand and persuaded, "If Lan Shaoxuan is not as good at cooking as he is now, then your grandfather handed over the recipes of the Lan family to you to inherit, and it is still in the past. But wait more and more. Many people know that Lan Shaoxuan is the heir that your grandfather has painstakingly cultivated, so everyone will think that it is impossible for your grandfather to hand over the recipes of the Lan family to you. We take advantage of the fact that there are not many people who have questioned Lan Shaoxuan. Xuan wins over and says that your grandfather handed over the recipes of the Lan family to you in order to reconcile you brothers. He wants you to take the initiative to reconcile with him, and then the two of you brothers will work together to carry forward the recipes of the Lan family. "

Lan Mingze said with an ugly face, "I don't understand what you mean."

"I mean..." Yan Bin paused, and simply put it more bluntly, "You give half of the Lan family's recipe to Lan Shaoxuan, and say it's your grandpa's idea, and then we'll make up a reason to put He drew it in."

"What if I don't?" Lan Mingze asked, "What if I don't even want to give Lan Shaoxuan the recipes from the Lan family?"

"Then we can't hide what we did." Yan Bin was serious! Said, "My grandfather must have felt that your grandfather's will was wrong from the very beginning, but he thought you were more capable than Lan Shaoxuan before, so he didn't go into it. Now the situation is different. Not only can my grandfather not protect you anymore, he even It is possible that in order to win over Lan Shaoxuan, he will take the initiative to spread out the will. So instead of passively handing over all the Lanjia recipe stores, it is better for us to take the initiative to save the situation, so that we will not let us do it It was revealed. I tell you so, you always understand, don't you?"

"I see." Lan Mingze said with a hoarse voice, suppressing the unwillingness in his heart, and closed his eyes, "Just do as you say."

Seeing that his complexion was not good, Yan Bin hugged him and said, "Don't be sad, this is just a temporary plan, first stabilize my grandpa and the others, and we will plan slowly for other things later. Don't worry, as long as I'm here , I will definitely not let you be wronged."

Lan Mingze felt so wronged at the moment, but he couldn't complain to Yan Bin, because Yan Bin was his only support, and he couldn't make him feel bored.
