Chapter 448 My surname is Nan, the Nan of Nanping Mountain

The old man briefly talked about some things related to Nanping Mountain.

Finally, he mentioned -

The Yongnian Tower under their feet now is the former Nanfeng Tower, but after the recipe theft incident, Nanpingshan gave the Nanfeng Tower to the Wang family of Yongnian Tower as an apology.

More than 20 years ago, this building was worth a few million, but now it has increased by dozens of times! The more Xiao Cai listened, the more puzzled he became: "Can you convict someone like this? Isn't it too easy?"

The old man said "Oh?" and wanted to hear Xiao Cai's opinion.

Xiao Cai thought that he was a die-hard fan of a certain detective novel, so he immediately became excited and started talking:

"Look, if this recipe is really problematic as the Wang family said, why didn't they find out about it right away? Since he became China's top chef and the whole world knows his name, his new dish should also be famous. Didn't the Wang family eat it once? If they had eaten it, how could they not recognize it as their own ancestral recipe? Why did they come out and say this several years later?"

Xiao Cai's questioning was well-founded and left the old man speechless.

The old man: "The Wang family said they don't want to break up..."

"This is impossible!"

Xiao Cai shook his head firmly. "From what you said, Wang's Yongnianlou was going downhill at the time, even on the verge of bankruptcy. And there's a saying, oh, people die for money, birds die for food. Are the Wang family really so saintly that they would rather their Yongnianlou go bankrupt than tell the truth? Well, even if the Wang family is really so magnanimous, and tolerated the chef using their recipe just to avoid falling out, then why did they make a big deal out of it and let everyone participate in the trial? And they accepted the compensation with a clear conscience? This is clearly inconsistent!"

The old man was somewhat shocked.

He didn't expect that Xiao Cai, who looked silly and didn't understand anything, unexpectedly showed a sharp side in this matter! Yes! Why are the Wang family's words and deeds so inconsistent? At the beginning, they said that they took into account the friendship between the master and the sect, so they endured for many years...

But when he was questioned face to face, in front of countless colleagues, Wang De's attitude showed no sympathy or kindness! Instead, he was only happy! The old man also firmly believed that Nan Pingshan had a bad character, but now he was not sure.

"So this is why you invited me here..."

The taste in the old man's mouth gradually became bitter.

He turned his head and saw from under the brim of his hat the not-so-good looks of the Wang family members at a table not far away.

Among them is Wang De.

The old man vaguely understood something. -Wang De knew that he couldn't go on like this.

Although today's stage was built by him personally for Nanzhi.

But why doesn't he feel great now?

Could it be that Nanzhi did not hide her identity as the granddaughter of Nanpingshan as he expected, but instead publicized it with great fanfare, giving him a strange premonition?

Wang De knew that many people present were looking at him with inquiring eyes, wanting to see his reaction.

He simply followed the expectation and slowly stood up.

"Everyone!"

He said loudly, looking around, and had already made a decision in his heart -

Take the initiative into your own hands!

"Thank you for taking the time to attend our chef Nan's feast in Yongnianlou today."

Wang De first started off politely, sweeping everyone around with a kind look.

He caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye and felt something was wrong. He was about to stop...

But other eyes urged him to continue, so he had no time to care about anything else.

Wang De could only continue:

“Chef Nan is one of the chefs we value most at Yongnianlou. Although the way we met was very strange, our cooperation has always been smooth and pleasant.”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and sighed, "Perhaps everyone has tasted the bowl of Forget-Sorrow Soup just now, and has many guesses in their minds. Yes, Forget-Sorrow Soup was created by my junior fellow apprentice, Nan Pingshan. This soup became famous in Yanjing because of him, and also disappeared completely because of him. I didn't expect that this Forget-Sorrow Soup would appear on the table again..."

He seemed like an old man reminiscing about the past, with a look of deep regret on his face.

Someone even boldly asked: "So what is the relationship between this Master Nanzhi and Nanping Mountain?"

Wang De nodded slowly:

"That's right, Nanzhi is..."

"Sister Zhi!"

Suddenly, several exclamations broke out among the two tables of guests where the audience and fans were sitting.

At first, the people around were a little dissatisfied, thinking that these people were being disrespectful by speaking at this time.

But when they turned their heads around, they no longer had any thoughts of blaming her, as their curiosity trumped everything else! Because Nanzhi, who hadn't even taken off her apron, had already walked out of the kitchen and into everyone's inquiring eyes!

Even with the entire kitchen backing her up for such a grand banquet, she still looked a little tired.

But this does not detract from her stunning beauty. Even the messy hair sticking to her cheeks has a unique beauty.

Of course, what is even more attractive is her indifferent temperament.

When seeing her, everyone will have a feeling of "sudden enlightenment" -

It turns out that this is the kind of chef who makes this kind of dish.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

No wonder.

Even the calm and confident style of the dishes are so similar!

Nanzhi just walked forward a few steps confidently, not caring that his chef's uniform was not very bright and beautiful.

She smiled and said, "Everyone, I wonder if you are satisfied with today's feast. I am the chef today. My last name is Nan, which means Nan in Nanping Mountain."

This self-introduction was like a bolt from the blue, surprising many people!

The food magazine reporters at the scene were taking out their cameras and snapping away, trying to capture this shocking and slightly dramatic development.

Nanzhi didn't care about being photographed and could even smile calmly at the camera.

Wang De vaguely felt that the situation was out of control and his face did not look good.

It's a pity that not many people care about him.

The crowd only whispered about Nanzhi: "Is it really Nanping Mountain?"

"This relationship, hiss, is a bit subtle."

"Could it be that the Wang family and the Nan family have reconciled?"

"That should be the case, otherwise why would the Wang family allow Nanzhi to enter Yongnian Tower?"

"Don't worry, I feel like there's something wrong with Master Nan's expression."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think so? There's no guilt on her face...!"

"After all, it's something that happened to my grandfather..."

"Do you think there is a hidden story behind what happened back then?"

“…”

When there are more people, imaginations become broader and thoughts tend to diverge in all kinds of outrageous directions.

Some speculations may be very close to the truth.

But the person who guesses doesn’t know.

They only knew one thing—

There's something interesting to watch! Sorry for not updating in the past two days. The reason is that I fell ill. The weather has changed a lot recently. I caught a severe cold. I had a cough, a fever, and body aches one after another. The situation was a bit annoying.

Next is the new book recommendation period, so I dare not stop updating. The time I spent on writing is two to three times longer than before. My mind is so fuzzy after finishing writing that I really don’t have the energy to update this one. But today it has improved, so don’t worry, I won’t stop updating next time.
