Beast language level 10, all beasts obey her orders

"Except for Qixinglou, which is a local restaurant in Cizhou Prefecture, the other participating restaurants are branches of restaurants in other prefectures or even in Beijing."

“If the Seven Stars Restaurant also loses to other restaurants in the food market competition, it will be a real shame for our Cizhou Prefecture.”

Several shopkeepers were heartbroken.

It turned out that other prefectures also had markets like the one in Cizhou Prefecture, but they were staggered with those in other prefectures.

The purpose of setting up these markets is simply to boost the economy of the capital.

But over time, a competitive trend emerged among the various prefectures.

If the restaurant in Cizhou Prefecture goes to other prefectures to compete, if it loses, it loses too.

But now it is in Cizhou Prefecture. If all the restaurants in Cizhou Prefecture lose, then in the next year, the business of Cizhou Prefecture restaurants will be crushed by other restaurants.

In this case, wouldn't the money of Cizhou Prefecture be earned by the shopkeepers of other prefectures?

This is... absolutely not allowed.

"The prefect has called me over to talk..." Manager Xie shook his head helplessly.

But...the other restaurants are very strong.

For example, a restaurant in a land of plenty must have good-tasting rice and noodles.

There are also restaurants from coastal cities that specialize in cooking seafood.

And all along, Cizhou Prefecture...has had nothing special.

There's nothing impressive to show for it.

However, before that, those restaurants came to inquire about Jerusalem artichoke pickles and fried bean curd skin, which made them proud for a while.

"Miss Tian, ​​since you can make such a novel dish like fried pork rolls, do you have other...reserved recipes?"

Tian Youyou did not hide it, "I do have some recipes, but... I want to see what their dishes are like first."

Shopkeeper Xie immediately asked the waiter to serve the dishes, "Today's dishes are the ones they selected."

The waiters served the food quickly, and one dish after another, which was delicious and attractive, was delivered to the table.

Tian Youyou took a look and was surprised by the dazzling array of items.

There are Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Crab Roe Lion Head, Scallion-fried Sea Cucumber, Eggplant Dried Fish, Dongpo Pork, Yipin Pot, Steamed Chicken with Rice Flour, Shark's Fin, Roasted Deer Tendon, Cherry Pork...

Each of these is either made with exquisite ingredients or with exquisite techniques, in short, they are not simple.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Jian said her Jerusalem artichoke vermicelli was not up to standard.

It's really not possible at all!

"Who are the judges this time?"

"There is the prefect, an old imperial physician who has retired from the palace, and Mr. Fan, who once served as the emperor's tutor and is also quite knowledgeable about food."

The emperor's tutor is the teacher who teaches the emperor to read.

This is a very high status.

Among the three judges, I feel that only the prefect is the worst.

The other two... one is the imperial physician and the other is the imperial tutor. They have eaten a lot of food.

But Tian Youyou was very curious, how come these two people happened to both end up in Cizhou Prefecture?

Manager Xie saw Tian Youyou's confusion and explained with a smile.

"Originally, the prefect invited two gentlemen from the prefectural city to be judges, but Mr. Fan and the imperial physician Zhu came here to look for oil-curd skin, so the prefect asked them to be the judges instead."

"Since we have to stay in Cizhou Prefecture for a while, they agreed."

Tian Youyou touched his nose, thinking that he was probably here for the delicious food at the food market in Cizhou Prefecture.

It is really hard for foodies to resist the temptation of delicious food.

"Miss Tian, ​​please eat first. The food will not taste good if it gets cold." Manager Xie greeted her.

Tian Youyou tasted the dishes on the table one by one...

The taste is good, because the condiments are limited, so most of the original flavors of the ingredients are retained.

It feels good...

Tian Youyou felt that if she wanted to win, she could only achieve it by surprise.

After lunch, Tian Youyou agreed with Manager Xie and others that Qixinglou would first compete according to the original plan. If they really felt overwhelmed, they would let Tian Youyou go on stage and give it a try.

Tian Youyou also asked Manager Xie for help, as she wanted to know how to promote her products in the food market.

Manager Xie agreed and said he would inform her when there was any news.

After returning to Xie's house to rest for a while, Tian Youyou called Feng Jing, Xiao Yao, Xiao Jia and Xiao Yi and prepared to go for a walk on the street.

"I'm not going." But Xiao Yao refused.

"What's wrong?" Tian Youyou looked at his expression, a little worried, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Yao shook his head, "I am busy on the road, I am tired and I want to take a nap."

"Okay." Since he was just tired, Tian Youyou didn't force him.

"Then you have a good rest. Aunt Feng and I will go shopping."

It was their first time in the city, so of course they had to take a good look around.

Feng Jing wanted to buy silk fabric for Tian Cui, and Tian Youyou also wanted to buy some fabric for Tian Shounian and the others.

But after visiting several stalls and shops, Feng Jing found that the things in the city were good, but also expensive.

Take silk flowers for example. In the county town, a silk flower costs only five or six wen each, but in the provincial capital, it costs more than ten wen each.

The fabric is also expensive, twice as expensive as in the county town.

"Aunt, it's a rare occasion for you to come to the capital, so don't be stingy with your money." Tian Youyou quickly selected several silk flowers, some with bright colors that suited her, and some with light colors that suited Jiang Xiuxiu.

"When the money is spent, just earn more."

Feng Jing thought about it and realized that this was the truth. She gritted her teeth and selected three silk flowers for Tian Cui.

"The silk flower my Cui Er wore was made by me, and it has faded."

Having said that, she picked two more.

"Let my Cui Er wear it in turn!"

Tian Youyou gave her a thumbs up and said, "That's right!"

"Can you buy something else for Rong'er?"

"What does a kid want?"

"Then buy him some cloth."

"Well, let's go take a look."

The cloth shop in the city was very big, with all kinds of fashionable fabrics and patterns, which dazzled Jiang Xiuxiu so much that she didn't know what to choose.

After Tian Youyou's persuasion just now, she didn't feel sorry for the money at all this time.

He directly selected three colorful spring fabrics for Tian Cui and three for Tian Rong.

I was still stingy with myself and only chose one.

Tian Youyou selected five patterns for each of her family members and also helped Xiao Yao choose.

"You are still thinking about him." Feng Jing teased her with a wink.

Tian Youyou sighed, not knowing if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xiao Yao's mood was a little strange after arriving in the capital.

But if he didn't want to come to the capital, why did he come in the first place?

I'm not very happy when I come...

"Hey, Youyou?!" Just as I was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside the shop.

Tian Youyou turned around and looked over, "Uncle Fang?!"

Isn’t it Fang Sihai?

He walked in, slightly tipsy, carrying a gourd and with squinting eyes.

"Youyou, why are you here? I thought I was seeing things."

Tian Youyou was even more puzzled, "Uncle Fang, why are you in the city? Why don't you go back to the village?!"

Why don't you go back to the village...

Why don't you go back to the village?!

"Well...I..." Fang Sihai shook his head, hoping that his mind would be clearer and not say the wrong thing and expose Young Master Xiao Yao.

"I met an old friend in the capital city, so I stayed... for a few days."

He looked around and said, "Youyou, why did you come to the capital? Where is my young master?"

"You left him alone in the village?"
