Desheng Tower is the largest restaurant in the capital. It is said that the chef inside was once the imperial cook in the palace. The emperor was so impressed with his cooking skills that he even wrote poems praising his cooking skills in his own handwriting.
The competition held this time is called a competition, but it is actually a challenge to build momentum for him.
This kind of challenge is held once a year by Desheng House, but no one can take away the high prize money offered by Desheng House every year.
Xia Jin had to admire his marketing methods, which not only created momentum and publicity, but also consolidated his position as a big boss in the culinary industry. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
Xia Jin went to ask for an entry form. The registration fee was one hundred taels of silver. This discouraged many civilian chefs from participating. However, there was actually a credit service here. As long as you wrote an IOU, you could enter and of course pay back the money.
The date cannot be too long.
After a set of operations, Xia Jin felt that it was too familiar, not like ancient times... especially after receiving the form.
Maybe it’s because of the illusion...
When Xia Jin received the form and filled in the name of the restaurant, she directly wrote down the name of the restaurant. Whether her restaurant can become popular depends on this time!
If he wins the competition, then the Food God Hall will also become famous because of this competition. At that time, it will be the best time to open a branch in the capital!
In the place of the chef's name, Xia Jin wrote the word "Xia Zheng".
Due to identity reasons, the real name cannot be used, so I can only use a pseudonym.
After completing it, Xia Jin handed over the registration form. At this moment, she picked up the form with one hand.
Xia Jin turned around and saw a pair of smiling eyes.
"Your name is Xia Zheng, and you are a chef?" Qi Tianxiao looked at Xia Jin's form and read each word with great interest. "Shishentang, this name is well received!"
Xia Jin raised her hand to grab it and put it back at the registrant registration area. There were many people waiting in line behind it. Xia Jin squeezed through the crowd and exited the Desheng Building through another exit.
Seeing Xia Jin leave, Qi Tianxiao hurriedly followed Xia Jin and shouted: "Xia Zheng, wait for me!"
Xia Jin stopped, looked back at Qitian Xiao, and put his hands on his hips.
"busy?"
Qi Tianxiao took out three 100-tael silver notes from his arms, handed them to Xia Jin, and said with a smile: "Last time you paid 300 taels of silver for me, I'll give it back to you!"
Xia Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, "You kid, are you so unwilling to be my brother?" With that said, she took the banknote and put it in her arms.
She needs money very much now, so naturally she won't refuse anyone who comes!
Seeing that he was standing still, Xia Jin glanced at him. Qi Tianxiao was wearing a vermilion-lined narrow sleeve, a soft armor vest, and wristbands on his arms. He was wearing narrow-leg pants and short boots, and a sword at his waist.
, looking like a soldier.
Where does this guy come from?
A few days ago, I was almost beaten to death by the gangsters from the Ma Tou Gang. Yesterday, I followed Lin Ziyi to the General's Mansion. Not only that, I also talked about Brother Ziyi.
"Aren't you a gangster from the Ma Tou Gang? Why are you joining the army now?" Xia Jin asked.
"I'm not a gangster from the Ma Tou Gang, I'm a member of the Black Tiger Army!" Qi Tianxiao said proudly.
Xia Jin raised her eyebrows, deliberately pretending to be disbelieving, and said: "Are you a member of the Black Tiger Army? Let me see, where did you get a military uniform, and who do you want to deceive? I advise you to rob people.
, it’s better not to do it again!”
Seeing that Xia Jin didn't believe it, Qi Tianxiao became anxious, took off his token from his waist, and showed it.
"Now, you believe it!"
"Since you are a member of the Black Tiger Army, why do you want to go to the Ma Tou Gang? Your token is fake! I think you are young, so you should not go out to cheat and follow me as a waiter.
Delivering groceries or something like that is a much better way to make money than cheating, so think about it and give me a visit, brother~"
"I went to the Ma Tou Gang to investigate the case!" Qitian Xiao said anxiously.
"Investigation, what to investigate?"
Xia Jin narrowed her eyes. He was with Lin Ziyi, probably investigating the case about Li Dacai.
"I can't tell you this matter, it's confidential!" Qi Tianxiao shook his head and was about to say something when he turned around and saw Xia Jin walking through the crowd and walking away.
"Hey, where are the people!"
"Tian Xiao, what are you doing here!" Mu Gu patted him on the shoulder.
Qi Tianxiao turned around and saw Mu Gu with a disappointed look on his face.
"Brother Mu, I just returned the money, but before I had time to tell him that Brother Ziyi wanted to see him, he left!"
Mu Gu searched around the crowd and asked, "Is that the person who offered you three hundred taels of silver to save you?"
Qi Tianxiao nodded, "That's him. However, we will see him again in three days. I didn't expect that he is actually a cook, and he will come to participate in the cooking competition in three days. I will definitely come and have a look then!"
Mu Gu patted his shoulder, "We have a mission, don't waste time here!"
Qi Tianxiao shouted, leading the way to the Ma Tou Gang.
After the opera ended, Mu Gu followed Lin He to the Ma Tou Gang, where he talked secretly with people for a period of time before leaving late at night.
Lin Ziyi could conclude that Lin Heshou had contacts with the Ma Tou Gang and was involved in Li Dacai's leak of military planes.
The general decided to start with the Ma Tou Gang. Today they were here to arrest Ling Ba for fighting. Qi Tianxiao, the 'witness', naturally had to go with them.
Mu Gu led his troops to the Ma Tou Gang and arrested everyone including Ling Ba.
Late at night, in the dark and humid dungeon of Dali Temple, the weak candlelight swayed slightly, making the shadows reflected on the wall appear extraordinarily tall.
Lin Ziyi was sitting on a grand master's chair, with a row of people hanging naked in chains in front of him. They were all members of the Ma Tou Gang who had been captured today.
"General, I've come to arrest you, do you know what's going on?" Lin Ziyi glanced at them lightly. These people had already been whipped, and they had lost their temper.
When Lin Ziyi came, Mu Gu had already interrogated them, and they all knew why Lin Ziyi came to arrest them!
"Why don't you tell me quickly who Lin Heshou met when he entered the Ma Tou Gang and what he said?" Mu Gu urged.
Several people lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, and looked at Ling Ba.
Lin Ziyi leaned on the chair, his eyes indifferent, "In the dungeon of Dali Temple, one hundred and eighty sets of torture instruments were used on them one by one until they spoke!"
Hearing what Lin Ziyi said, some members of the gang turned pale with fear. Who can bear the one hundred and eighty sets of torture instruments?
"General, we don't know about this, only the deputy gang leader knows!"
"Yes, yes, I saw with my own eyes that the deputy gang leader and Lin Heshou went to the secret room on the second floor together!"
"I can testify that the deputy gang leader must know about this!"
"General, we are innocent, please let us go!"
Seeing that he had been betrayed, Ling Ba glared at them and saw the instruments of torture being brought up. The first instrument of torture was leg breaking. As the name suggests, it was a torture instrument that crushed the leg bones into pieces bit by bit like dough!
Anyway, it was death, and he wanted to die happily.
"I said!"
Ling Ba looked at Lin Ziyi, his eyes bloodshot.
"Lin Heshou met Master Song. They made an appointment to trade something in Desheng Building three days later. I don't know what it is specifically, but it seems to be very important!"
"Desheng Tower..." Lin Ziyi murmured and narrowed his eyes.
