Chapter 368 Urgently summoned to the palace

When these words came out, not only was Manager Hao stunned, but even the onlookers were dumbfounded.

Chef Chen added something he shouldn't have added to the food? What was that? Seeing the angry look on the royal chef's face, it seemed that this thing was probably added to make the food more delicious, but it was something that should never be added to food, but Chef Chen dared to add it...

etc!

Chef Chen added this thing to the food during the competition. Does that mean that this thing is also added to the food at the Eight Immortals Restaurant on a daily basis?

The Eight Immortals Restaurant is famous, and everyone says that the food is extremely delicious. Could it be that this is the reason?

Everyone was talking about it, and when they saw the look on the faces of Manager Hao and his waiters at the Eight Immortals Restaurant, they all stepped back and avoided the situation.

From now on, you can't go to this Eight Immortals Restaurant! Seeing this, the president of the Chamber of Commerce also said, "Since the Eight Immortals Restaurant is also a well-known restaurant in Beijing, many things are not said openly. It is better for Manager Hao to ask Chef Chen about the reason himself."

"But let me say this in advance. Chef Chen is not allowed to participate in any cooking competitions in the future. I also suggest that you, the Eight Immortals House, should never employ him again, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Eight Immortals House."

Seeing this situation, Manager Hao's face became more and more unsightly, and he also knew that it was useless to continue arguing here at this moment, so he led his employees back to the Eight Immortals Tower, asked them to close the door, and then he hurried to Gong's house.

After looking at each other for a while, everyone went to congratulate Zheng Mingyuan of Juweizhai.

As the results of the cooking competition were settled, all the items used for the cooking competition on the long street were dismantled and moved away, and the news that something that shouldn't have been put into the dishes of the Eight Immortals House spread like wildfire...

The long street returned to its former tranquility, and the door of the Eight Immortals Building could even be described as deserted.

The entrance of Juweizhai was bustling with activity because Zheng Mingyuan won the first place in the cooking competition. Many people came to take a look at the food and some even wanted to taste it.

Unfortunately, Juweizhai had not officially opened for business at that time, so everyone had to go home disappointed, but they did not forget to ask when Juweizhai would open.

Seeing this situation, Wu Jiantong was also in a dilemma.

At this time, Zheng Mingyuan won the first place and was in the limelight. The reputation of Juweizhai once again spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. It was the best choice to open a business while this popularity was high.

However, when he took over Juweizhai, he had already made all the preparatory plans before opening, and daily affairs were proceeding as planned. At this time, Juweizhai had not yet met the predetermined opening conditions.

If they force the opening at this time, the food and service may not be up to par. Even if Juweizhai's business is very good at the beginning, its reputation will easily be affected.

After much thought, Wu Jiantong felt that he needed to discuss this with Su Yujin.

Su Yujin also went to Juweizhai to congratulate Zheng Mingyuan on his victory. At this time, she was talking to Zheng Mingyuan in the backyard. Seeing Wu Jiantong asking, she smiled and asked, "What do you think, Manager Wu, should do? Which one do you prefer?"

Wu Jiantong thought for a moment and said, "Although Juweizhai is very popular right now, it is not appropriate to open it hastily. I still think it is better to open it after the new year as planned."

"Although it's a little late, which makes people think that Juweizhai is a little arrogant, but long-term business still depends on strength and reputation. As long as these two are done well, there will be no shortage of business in the future."

Su Yujin smiled and nodded, "I think this is best too."

The shopkeeper he chose had great insight and vision! Seeing that Su Yujin also agreed, Wu Jiantong nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Boss. I understand what to do."

"Go and get busy." Su Yujin replied with a smile. After talking to Zheng Mingyuan for a while, she went to the He family.

After arriving at the He family, Su Yujin sent someone to inquire when He Yanxiu would return.

Chen Guiming was taken away today very suddenly.

The imperial chef's words were cryptic, but Su Yujin heard them clearly and guessed that what Chen Guiming put in the chicken soup was probably opium.

There are poppies in the Eight Immortals Tower?

The Third Prince has reached his current state because of poppies.

The Eight Immortals Building is the property of the Second Prince's maternal family, and as for the Third Prince's affairs, although He Yanxiu said that Imperial Doctor Jiao had taken full responsibility, both he and the Emperor suspected that the matter was related to the First and Second Princes.

If you put all these things together...

Could it be the Second Prince who did it?

But if he really ordered Doctor Jiao to do this, he would definitely strictly control the use of opium in the Eight Immortals Building and would not let anyone find evidence easily.

Could it be that Chen Guiming used it without authorization in order to win? Or was it that the Second Prince was so confident that the Third Prince's affair would not be found out to be related to him, so he acted recklessly? Was there any other hidden reason behind this? ...

Su Yujin felt a headache from thinking about it and reached out to rub both sides of her temples.

Ai Cao brought over a bowl of hot tea, "Miss, do you want to take a break?"

I watched the competition at Qingfengju for half a day and had only some snacks for lunch. Although there was a carriage on the way back and forth and a warm charcoal stove was burning in the carriage, it was still the coldest time of the year outside and the cold wind was blowing hard.

Su Yujin had been busy that day and was probably very tired.

"No need." Su Yujin shook her head, drank half a cup of hot tea, and took a piece of radish cake made by the cook in the small kitchen.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The salty snack tastes soft and sticky without being greasy.

"I just asked you to send someone to inquire when the second master will be back. Have you heard back?" Su Yujin asked.

"I have already sent someone to ask, and I think he will be back soon."

As soon as Ai Cao finished speaking, a maid came over in a hurry and bowed to Su Yujin, "Ping An County Lady, someone from the outer courtyard just came to pass on a message saying that the Second Master was urgently summoned to the palace by the Emperor and will not be back for a while."

He Yanxiu was hurriedly summoned to the palace? Su Yujin pursed her lips, "I know, you go down first."

"Yes." The maid stood up and quietly retreated.

Seeing that Su Yujin seemed to be lost in thought, Ai Cao did not dare to disturb her. She only ordered people to turn on the heating more hotter and also told the people in the small kitchen to prepare dinner.

After noon, the sun disappeared from the sunny day. Now the northwest wind started to blow, making the sky seem even more gloomy and making people feel listless.

The atmosphere in Chongyang Palace was also very depressing at this time.

Qin Yishu sat upright on the dragon throne behind the long desk, expressionless.

He Yanxiu, Ming Hai and others stood below, not daring to breathe.

After a long time, the door of the hall opened and Qin Peiheng walked in.

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, Qin Peiheng put away the smile on his face, walked forward slowly, kowtowed and saluted, "Your Highness, your son pays respect to you, Father."

"I wonder why the emperor summoned me?"
