Chapter 245 I’ll help you…I promise!
Song Liyun nodded: "Just this one."
Zhao Tingduo squeezed the box tightly and said calmly, "I remember you said you were going to Qili County tomorrow. I'm going too!"
He wanted to see how Tianxianglou was doing, and also to "communicate" with County Magistrate Jiang.
As night falls, several new families are added to Suijin Town, and the girls who have just become wives also begin their own joys and sorrows.
The next day, Tianxianglou resumed business and was still booming. In addition to the usual praise for the delicious food,
There was something unusual in the guest's speech.
"Manager Song, I heard that the skewers at your Tianxiang Tower are copied from the skills of Chef Gao at Jinxi Tower."
Song Liyun smiled faintly: "How is that possible? Chef Gao's grilling method is different from ours."
"Shopkeeper Lin, this is not authentic! Grilled lamb chops are a high-end dish, but you copied them and made them look like nothing. And you still sell them for money."
Lin Tao's face turned black: "If you think the dishes are low-end, then add another 1 or 2 taels of silver, and it will be high-end."
"Oh! I only ate a few strings of chicken gizzards, and you want one ounce of silver from me? Go ahead and rob me!"
After hearing several customers say this, Song Liyun couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She hadn't been in Tianxianglou in the past few days, and the store was closed for a day yesterday. Could someone be causing trouble?
Thinking of this, she found Zhou Xiang and whispered something to him, and then they went for a walk on the street.
Soon, news came back.
"Miss Song, some people say that the skewers at Tianxianglou were invented by Jinxilou."
Gao Li!
Song Liyun thought about it and remembered the cook who came to her with an arrogant look on his face to ask for his indenture when she took over Tianxianglou.
"He hasn't even made Jinxilou's business work now, and he still has the nerve to teach others!" Song Liyun just felt funny.
Gao Li has been working at Jinxilou since he was released from his contract at Tianxianglou, and he still makes his specialty, grilled lamb chops.
She narrowed her eyes: On the surface, it was Gao Li who was spreading rumors, but in fact, it was those people in the culinary industry who had bad intentions.
We've let those people run around for so long, it's time to deal with them properly.
Since taking over Tianxianglou, people in the culinary industry have put pressure on grain and oil stores everywhere, cut off raw materials, and poached chefs, intending to strangle Tianxianglou in the cradle.
At that time, considering that I was a novice, I could only open a store first to gain a foothold, and then slowly regain my position.
Unexpectedly, after just over two months, these people couldn't hold it in any longer.
With the guards around, these people didn't dare to use violence. They first wanted to use a playboy to ruin their own reputation, but failed. Now they started to use the dishes to ruin the reputation of Tianxianglou.
In fact, Song Liyun was not worried about these words. People spend money to go to a restaurant for the taste, not for the reputation.
But this kind of rumor is the most disgusting. The better Tianxianglou's business is, the more it advertises for others.
This is what it means to spread rumors with just one mouth and then run around to refute them.
Before she could think of anything, Zhao Tingduo came out of the county government office.
Yesterday, Zhao Tingduo said that he wanted to come to Tianxiang Tower and visit the county government office to pay a visit to County Magistrate Jiang. As soon as he and Song Liyun arrived in Qili County in the morning, he went directly to the county government office.
No one knew what he said to Jiang Feng. At this moment, Zhao Tingduo, dressed like a handsome young man, sat in the private room with a sullen face and said nothing, and he looked cold all over.
Song Liyun came into the room with a tea tray and asked in surprise, "Ashi, what's wrong with you?"
I turned around and looked around, but Abu, who usually always stayed by my side, was not there.
Zhao Tingduo looked up, staring at her with a piercing gaze. He put aside what he had heard from Jiang Feng and changed the subject, "What's going on with Jinxilou? How dare they spread rumors like this?"
He was the first person to eat spicy diced rabbit at Baolinju, and it was also he who brought Song Liyun the cumin powder.
Anyone can doubt Song Liyun's craftsmanship, except him.
"A tall tree attracts the wind. It's Tianxianglou's business that's so good that it attracts jealousy. But they only dare to tell lies to deceive people." Song Liyun put down the tea.
What she said was all true. In the past, people in the kitchen could only do things secretly, but now all the idlers and lazy people in the city have been registered by County Magistrate Jiang, so they can no longer find the tools to extort money from them.
"Miss Song, I will help you deal with this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Zhao Tingduo said. He had already seen the information about Jinxilou from Jiang Feng.
I also know where Gao Li lives.
"Why do you care? You're not in this line of work..."
Before she finished speaking, Song Liyun shut up. Zhao A Shi and Jiang Feng had a special relationship, so perhaps there would be other ways.
But what can we do to deal with rumors?
This time, unlike Lin Qingyuan who has a name and surname, he can find the culprit directly.
"Didn't they say that Tianxianglou learned their skewer-roasting skills from someone named Gao? Then let's challenge them to a race. What kind of horse is that? Just one run and you'll see what it's really like."
Jiang Feng said that he would find an opportunity to secretly clean up Jinxilou, but Zhao Tingduo disdain to do so.
He has confidence in Song Liyun's seasoning.
"If those people still dare to cheat and attack after losing, I will twist Gao Li and Shen Leyan's heads..."
When he was halfway through his words, he saw Song Liyun staring at him without blinking, with a half-smile on her face, and he suddenly realized: he was not here to fight.
He quickly changed the subject: "Hey! I was just describing it. Here, County Magistrate Jiang is in charge, and the rule of law is upheld. Or, just like you did before, just put the food out there for people to eat. Those with mouths will naturally know who's good and who's bad."
"Barbecue Food Festival!" Song Liyun smiled slightly after being awakened by Zhao Tingduo's words.
"What festival?"
Zhao Tingduo only knew that there was a horse racing festival on the grassland.
"Ashi, can you ask County Magistrate Jiang to issue a notice in a few days to promote the barbecue competition in Qili County?"
This is a rare opportunity. We should not suppress it in a hurry. Instead, we should publicize and encourage it and hype it up.
"They say the higher you praise someone, the harder they fall. Now that you're going to make a move, make sure Jin Xi Lou has no chance of recovery."
"How to promote it?" Zhao Tingduo became curious. He only thought about having a competition, but Song Liyun thought of a food festival.
"I have my own way! But you still need to tell County Magistrate Jiang." Song Liyun decided to think about it carefully, and she looked at Zhao Tingduo.
Zhao Tingduo nodded without hesitation: "No problem!"
Seeing that he trusted her so much, Song Liyun smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Looking at Song Liyun's smiling face, Zhao Tingduo's eyes suddenly became evasive, but his voice remained as calm as ever: "Is this the only way you thank me?"
Song Liyun raised her eyebrows and a smile appeared on her lips.
She once thought that if Zhao A Shi came back, she would have to consider whether she liked this guy. Now it seems that she definitely likes him.
As for the degree of his love...she doesn't know yet, but the person is right in front of her, so she can slowly understand.
The opportunity cannot be missed. You have to cast the net first to see if there are any fish.
"As long as Ah Shi stays by my side, I can thank you slowly!"
Zhao Tingduo froze instantly, his ears turning red. He understood what Song Liyun meant, and his heartbeat quickened.
"Okay, I promise!"
Zhao Tingduo said the words almost without hesitation, as if the words had lingered on his lips for too long, followed by a smile as hot as the sun on his face.
