Su Xinyu's suggestion was flawless. Since you have decided to give the Emperor his birthday, you should naturally share the joy of the people. Otherwise, none of them would be able to deliver food to the emperor. Furthermore, without a centenarian, using the title of emperor was not an easy thing to do. It might even be a crime to bully the monarch. Therefore, his suggestion was even more thorough than what they had thought.
However, Zhou Quan would not thank them either. After all, their original intention was not to let Su Xinyu show his face. Now, even if they knew that they could not destroy Su Family, they would not be willing to let this brat obtain the advantage. Therefore, Boss Wu suggested, "Little Boss Su's suggestion is extremely good. But I do think some of the people have a good or bad opinion of it. "
Su Xinyu laughed: "Oh? Does Uncle Wu mean that ordinary people have no sense of taste? Yes, they might not be able to afford expensive ingredients, and they didn't have the money to go in and out of your restaurants. But their daily meals were also three times a day. Who would dare to say that a bowl of porridge from their mother was not as delicious as a swallow's nest? Who would dare to say that their father's goblet of wine was not as delicious as the vintage wine? I presume that Royal Kitchen would also eat potato, cabbage, tofu, and corn? Then, how were these foods different from the common household's? How come Uncle Wu thinks they can't tell if the food is good or bad? Or could it be that the content of the competition can only be found in the stomach? If that's the case, then this junior will not be competing. The culinary skills of the imperial palace's Royal Kitchen must be much better than mine, but they said they wanted to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, wasn't that deceiving the emperor? "
When these words came out, even if these people had the same thoughts as the Boss Wu, they felt that using the common people to evaluate them would be disadvantageous to them. But if it was like Su Xinyu had said, they would have to agree even if they did not agree. However, not all of these seven families had the same thoughts as the Boss Wu. Boss Chen of the Everlasting Feast Hall was unwilling to be as fussy as these people. Although his business was also affected by Yuxiang Restaurant, he was originally also a later generation of Haian City. When his own family's business was doing well, he was also pushed aside by these people. After experiencing the same thing, he didn't want to look at others as difficult as he had initially. Furthermore, he had investigated the owner of the Yuxiang Restaurant. It was not easy for a widowed mother to start a business with her young son. He had also tasted Yuxiang Restaurant's craftsmanship before, so he had no choice but to say the word "admire". He admired people with real abilities. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't be too out of sync with the group, he would have been able to avoid joining in on this matter. But sometimes, even if it was a profession, there was always something that one could not control oneself.
"Everyone. I feel that Little Boss Su's idea is not bad. In the end, we are doing business at the Haian City, so we are also selling to the citizens of the Haian City. Not to mention that the Emperor's birthday celebration was a great day for all to celebrate. I believe that the Prefect will also agree to this matter. How about we let our lord handle this matter? Originally, we were going to report it to the yamen as well. He did not need to let Little Boss Su tell him in private. "It's also to avoid a lot of trouble during the competition."
These words seemed to be on guard against Su Xinyu, but it was actually helping her out. Su Xinyu looked at Boss Chen with gratitude in his heart, and saw helplessness in her eyes. In his middle years, there were many things that he was more worried about than when he was young. Su Xinyu could understand the reason why this person was on the same side as them.
Of course, in the end, it was them who wanted to discuss it, so Su Xinyu's meaning was very clear. I have an opinion, but in the end it's up to you guys to decide what to do. Just let me know when the time comes. I don't know about winning or losing. Since I'm so young, it's fine if you're not afraid of people laughing at you and bullying you kids.
Although Su Xinyu's words made them feel like their chest was blocked by a rock. However, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief. After all, no matter how you looked at it, this kid didn't look like an eleven-year-old kid. They were truly worried that this brat had some sort of evil scheme. But in the end, you still let them decide. This made them all feel that no matter how awesome Su Xinyu looked, she was still too young.
Su Xinyu was confident and would naturally not tell these people. After leaving Leisurely Manor, she only allowed Hu Ya to return to the Yuxiang Restaurant to help her, while she herself returned home. She only told Hu Ya that she was going to go back and think about the dishes for her birthday so that Sun Xiguang wouldn't worry.
After returning home, Su Xinyu told his mother about the situation and returned to her courtyard. Currently, she had a small courtyard of her own which she had ordered others to separate in order to facilitate her entry into the space. This small courtyard wasn't very big. Other than the bedroom and study, there was also a small kitchen. Then there was a bathroom and a latrine.
Su Xinyu's kitchen was actually used to hide things from others. She could not possibly never use space, so she definitely needed a kitchen to hide the fact that she had space. Now that she had bought a big house, it was exactly what she wanted.
Don't look at what she said. She didn't care if they won or lost this match. But Su Xinyu knew that her heart was still heavy on victory. It wasn't that she couldn't afford to lose, but that she didn't want to and couldn't lose. If she lost, that would be what those people wished for. There would always be people who would say that her new deal was not as good as the old one. If there were people who added fuel to the fire, it wasn't impossible for her to take away the excitement from such a good deal. At that time, it would be more difficult for her to think of a solution. Thus, even if she could not be the champion, she would not allow herself to be the last.
In the next few days, Su Xinyu did not go to Yuxiang Restaurant to help, nor did she discuss what dishes she wanted to cook with Sun Xiguang. This was because she knew that Sun Xiguang would benefit greatly and understood the requirements of the imperial cuisine. However, she wanted the commoners to be the evaluators, so she could not use the imperial cuisine. In addition, those people would definitely be extremely luxurious. If she did not use her sword, then like those other people, she would fall into the same trap. Instead of showing her face, even if she won, it would be very warm and simple.
It had to be said that Su Xinyu's personality had changed a lot in the past few years, compared to her previous life. The change in the environment is so obvious. He knew more about scheming than before, and she knew more about guessing people's thoughts than ever before. She wanted to do better than ever. Not only did she have to protect the foundation of her ancestors, she also had to start her own business and build a career of her own. If she couldn't do better, then based on her harsh treatment of women in the secular world, she would sometimes worry about whether she could do it or not.
Of course, Su Xinyu was also not willing to let down the trust of the people around him. Mother, Seventh Grandmother, step grandfather's family, these servants. Of course, the most important person was Wen Ling. The only person who should have had nothing to do with him, yet had unconditionally supported him and trusted him.
After placing the "pine needle" on the plate, Su Xinyu raised her head and looked at the moonlight outside the window. I wonder what Ling Ge is doing, does that father of his understand how good this son of his is? "
The current Fifth Master was just speaking to his father, the current Emperor.
Shangguan Lin knelt in front of the dragon bed, listening to his father's reminders, "This Emperor knows that you have blamed and hated you for all these years. However, it didn't matter whether Lady Lou planned all of this or not. I don't have much time left in my life, and you can still be filial in front of my bed. Lin'er, do you know why I named you Lin Dong back then? "
Shangguan Lin shook his head: "This son does not know."
The old emperor smiled wryly, "When you were born, there was a Qilin color cloud so I knew you were no mediocre person. Even though I never thought of letting you succeed the throne, I still wanted you to be my assistant brother's qilin. Your big brother Second Brother also died. The Yuan Empress was also unable to cure her severe illness. Your mufei was afraid that Lou Zigui would harm you, so she lied and claimed that you were part of the Six Clans. After so many years, even though I have been muddleheaded, I am not blind and deaf. Even if I am the genuine Son of Heaven, I am unable to change this logic. "I have trusted the wrong person and doted on the wrong person. Now that things have turned out this way, I can only make things difficult for you two brothers."
Shangguan Lin never thought that he would one day hear these words from the Royal Father. In the end, he was still just a youth. How could he not be moved when someone close to him said these words? Tears trickled down, and Shangguan Lin touched his head to the ground, "Royal Father. This son has never blamed Royal Father! This son wishes Royal Father long life! "
The old emperor coughed twice, then smiled and waved his hand, "Silly child. The emperor was also a mortal, then the Son of Heaven Long had only fooled him. If it was a real dragon, how could it be poisoned? If it was the Son of Heaven, how could it be alive? However, this life of mine was not in vain. In the end, this mortal world's supreme being had been extremely wealthy this entire life. Lin'er, I'll call you over today. I have two secret decrees for you. Take one out and read it when your Third Brother is trying to force it out. If he disagrees, you can do as you like. You can save the other one until your own life is in danger. " With that, he took out two secret edicts from behind his jade pillow.
With both hands holding onto the secret edict, Shangguan Lin's eyes became blurry. Royal Father. You... "You …"
The old emperor sighed, "Don't worry. I will definitely give you and your mufei an explanation before I die. Just don't let anyone know about what we father and son have to say today. Not even your mother can do it, even your Fourth Brother. Do you remember? "
Shangguan Lin vigorously nodded his head, "This son will remember it!"
The old emperor waved his hand. "Go back. From today onwards, you are not allowed to take even half a step out of the palace without my permission. "If there's anything, I will naturally let you out."
Shangguan Lin kowtowed, "This son obeys!"
Coming out of the Emperor's chamber. Xiao Tong hurriedly followed his master's silence. Fifth Master, are you alright? "
Shangguan Lin's heart was currently in a mess. Firstly, his previous understanding of the Royal Father's attitude towards him and the matter regarding his fate had been overturned. Second, Royal Father had clearly told him that he had to avoid even Fourth Brother. This meant that he was not completely confident in Fourth Brother. Third, he had to give himself and his mufei an explanation. What kind of explanation was this? What sort of explanation did they need?
He was distracted and was naturally unable to answer Xiao Tong's question, "From today onwards, you will tell Zheng Liang and the others to closely monitor the movements of all the princes. Include... Fourth Brother. "
