Chapter 261 The Emperor’s Preference

Everyone in the waterside pavilion looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning hurriedly got up with the child in his arms, and blessed the emperor and empress with blessings, "Your Majesty, the Queen, this dish was made by my eldest son Yang Changsong and my eldest daughter-in-law Liu."

The emperor became more and more surprised, "I tasted his cooking when I was at your house, and it didn't taste the same. It seems that his cooking skills have improved again."

Zheng Zheng could not help but take a breath of air when he heard this and rolled his eyes back and forth. The emperor also went to Guang Enbo's house to have dinner? When did this happen? It looks like we need to send someone to investigate further later.

Yu Cairen standing behind was terrified and her body was shaking unconsciously. Why didn’t she know these things? If he knew that the emperor valued the Yang family so much, his brother would never act like this. With such a favor, Guang Enbo would still be secretive and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. It is really hateful!

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, when this kid was cooking in Ping'an County, he had never seen the world and was self-righteous. After coming to the capital and gaining experience, he also knows that he has to work harder."

"It's a good thing to know that progress is a good thing!" The emperor affirmed Yang Datou's efforts, and then looked at King Xiaoyao regretfully, "No wonder it's unrealistic for you to invite people to cook in your house!"

Even he would not be able to call the son of a minister into the palace to cook for him, which would make him look like a foolish king.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not that my eldest son is unwilling to go to the palace to cook for the prince, but that the child plans to open a restaurant in the capital and is busy with everything."

The queen covered her mouth and chuckled, "In this way, King Xiaoyao can eat it whenever he wants."

“The queen is absolutely right!” The emperor chuckled and asked, “Have you already thought of the name of the restaurant?”

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment and responded quickly, "Please give me a name from the emperor."

Wang Xiaoyao on the side was amazed at Jiang Ning's reaction and silently gave her a thumbs up.

The emperor rarely tasted a novel dish and was in a good mood. He wrote the words "Bai Wei Lou" on the spot.

No matter how stable Jiang Ning's character is, he can't help but laugh like a fool at this moment.

In order not to embarrass herself, she went to Xilingxuan with her child in her arms.

The three Zhao family members had already silently exited the waterside pavilion before the Empress. Seeing Jiang Ning smiling like this, she congratulated her without even asking why.

Jiang Ning smiled narrowly, "Sister, you don't even know why I'm happy, so you congratulate me?"

Zhao Shi was happy, "We have lived in the capital for such a long time. If I don't even have this wink, wouldn't I be living in vain? Tell me, what's a good thing?"

Jiang Ning told the emperor about the name given to him.

The two girls from the Zhao family and the Huang family covered their mouths in shock.

The second eldest son of the Huang family is in business and has a restaurant at home. They are very aware of the value of the name given by the emperor. When Baiweilou opens, the business of all restaurants in the capital will be affected. Because the emperor gives the name, others can't play tricks no matter how jealous they are. .

"Okay! With the emperor's support, I wish your family a prosperous business and a lot of money every day!" Zhao said exaggeratedly.

It made Jiang Ning dumbfounded.

“What do you two think is so lively?”

Zhao turned around and was a little puzzled when she saw that the person coming was He, the wife of the prime minister.

Jiang Ning greeted Mr. He familiarly and briefly explained the situation.

He was overjoyed and said, "Hey! Then I have to book a table in advance. We have agreed, but we can't forget it!"

“I can’t forget it, I definitely won’t forget it!” Jiang Ning promised again and again.

The other ladies saw the Prime Minister's wife and the Zuodu Censor's wife chatting and laughing with Guang Enbo, and they had different thoughts for a while. Jiang Ning has no time to chat with others. She believes that after today, the powerful people in the capital will no longer look down on their Guang En residence. As for what will happen in the future, it depends on their own efforts.

A dish of boiled fish brings the cooking competition to a climax.

There was still a second competition. After Yang Datou and Liu Ye replied, they bowed out respectfully.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, the old lady was in a good mood, and secretly told Mrs. Zheng: "Send some gifts to Uncle Guang En's house later. Since people come to Beijing, there must be some exchanges."

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law knows what to do." Even if the old lady doesn't tell her, Zheng will still find a way to have a good relationship with Guang Enbo.

The second game was about dim sum. Neither Yang Datou nor Liu Ye were good at making dim sum. Fortunately, they had strong backing.

The two of them followed Jiang Ning’s instructions and made **** milk, milk tea, honey cake, and stuffed pork floss buns.

The noodles are made in advance and only need to be stuffed and baked, which is faster than others.

Soon the food for the second competition was brought to the waterside pavilion, and there were a dazzling array of exquisite pastries.

Xiaoyao Wang was not interested in these things, so he picked up a steamed pork floss bun and started to bite it.

The emperor and the empress took a look and tasted one each.

The queen's eyes lit up after just one bite, and she quickly called Princess Yongyang to come over and have a taste.

Princess Yongyang was impressed by the steamed pork floss buns and milk tea in just one bite. She even had a small appetite and ate one steamed pork floss bun and a cup of milk tea.

The queen is similar, but she eats **** and milk.

The old lady likes honey cakes and another carrot cake very much. She also drinks a sip of milk tea, not to mention how comfortable she is.

Because Yang Datou baked a whole plate of fried pork floss buns and honey cake, and also boiled a large pot of milk tea, everyone in the waterside pavilion could share a portion. After everyone tasted it, they finally understood the reaction of the queen and princess. .

However, everyone likes it. In fact, Yang Datou's cooking is not the best, but it is more clever and takes a different approach.

In the end, the emperor gave the first place to a powerful old master, and the second place to Yang Datou.

Before Yang Datou participated in the competition, Jiang Ning had warned him that they were here to build momentum for the restaurant, not to win first place, so he had a good attitude. This second place was completely unexpected, and he was very happy. I laughed like a fool.

Those who looked down on the Yang family before are now envious of Jiang Ning. Although the Yang family has no background and the eldest son of the Yang family looks like an illiterate villager, he has skills! It also has the emperor's appreciation. When Baiweilou opens, business will definitely be booming.

They can already foresee the rise of the Yang family.

Many people came over to congratulate them in advance, and Jiang Ning and the other three were busy chatting with the dignitaries and were overwhelmed.

Finally returned to Guang Enbo's Mansion, and all three of them were paralyzed.

When King Xiaoyao entered the door, he happened to see this life-threatening scene. His eyebrows subconsciously raised slightly, with a hint of joking on his face, and he sat down slowly, "What? This won't work?"

Jiang Ning's eyes moved, slowly turning along the sound, falling on King Xiaoyao, waving his hands feebly, "Why are you here again?"

"Hey! I thought I wanted to come!" King Xiaoyao took a sip of water angrily, and said in a rare serious voice: "I gave the wine you gave me to the emperor. The emperor was very happy and asked me what kind of wine it was. "

Jiang Ning suddenly became energetic, "What did you say?"
