Chen Yun was startled, then realized what he was doing and laughed loudly:
"I didn't see it. You, a great talent, are quite greedy for money. Tell me, what kind of prize do you want?"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, thinking about it.
"Since Mr. Chen is so cheerful, I am embarrassed to ask for too much. How about ten taels of silver?"
Ten taels of silver?
Everyone was stunned, wasn't this a naked slap in Chen Yun's face?
If he wins, he won with no force!
If he loses, he will be disgraced!
The flesh on Chen Yun's angry face was trembling.
"Ten taels of silver, are you sending the beggar away?!"
"If you don't want to, then let's not compete!"
Lin Xiao curled her lips and made a gesture to leave.
"etc!"
"Huh? Changed your mind?"
"Tomorrow at noon, in my tavern, we will each cook three dishes for all guests to taste for free. Do you dare?"
Chen Yun stared at Lin Xiao pitifully and gritted his teeth.
When Lin Xiao heard this, he got exactly what he wanted, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This guy has some backbone. He dares to bet with himself. It seems that he is not a coward. Then I will use your power to publicize my salt!
Lin Xiao did this not because she did not believe in the strength of Jin Sanniang's Cereal and Oil Store, but because she wanted to use this competition to make everyone accept the refined salt she made more quickly.
After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. If you want people to accept new things, you must first taste the freshness, otherwise, everything will be in vain!
"Why don't you dare? Tomorrow noon will be tomorrow noon, I'm afraid you won't make it?!"
High fives for alliance!
After leaving Chen Yun's tavern, everyone knew that Lin Xiao would definitely win tomorrow's competition, so no one was worried about her.
I'm even secretly looking forward to the time passing by quickly, looking like I'm watching a good show!
Lin Xiao did not go back to the inn directly, but went to Jin Sanniang's grain and oil store alone.
Jin Sanniang was having a drink with Yu Xilin when she saw Lin Xiao coming. She was slightly startled, then smiled again and hurriedly asked her to sit down.
Yu Xilin also saw Lin Xiao. I don't know if it was because of alcohol or something else. His face turned red, his heart beat faster, and his eyes fell on Lin Xiao's body dreamily and couldn't move away.
Seeing Yu Xilin's appearance, Jin Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little doubt in her heart.
Could Mr. Yu be attracted to Lin Xiao...?
This is not surprising either.
Under the moonlight, Lin Xiao, dressed as a noble prince, looked extremely handsome.
Skin as white as snow, a pair of dark eyes, a straight nose, and slightly pursed lips...
Not to mention Yu Xilin, Jin Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little excited after watching it!
"Brother Lin, it's so late. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Jin Sanniang calmed down and asked.
Her tone was still very calm, her eyes didn't light up when she saw a handsome guy like others, and she didn't have the shyness of little daughters.
"Sister, something great is happening!"
Lin Xiao grinned at Jin Sanniang, revealing her neat white teeth, which were as white as shells and shone with a charming luster.
When Jin Sanniang saw Lin Xiao's teeth, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes were full of surprise, which then turned into appreciation and love.
"What a good thing?"
"You will be so happy to hear about this good thing!"
Lin Xiao gave up.
Upon seeing this, Jin Sanniang asked curiously:
"What the hell is a good thing? Stop showing off!"
"Chen's Tavern, do you know?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
The Chen Family Tavern was originally a tavern in the capital city. Ever since the eldest son of the tavern sparrow turned into a phoenix, he and his whole family ascended to heaven along with their chickens and dogs.
Not only did the family's household registration change from business registration to official registration, Chen's Tavern also transformed into a high-ranking official.
One of my favorite restaurants!
Business is extremely booming!
"I accepted Chen Yun's challenge. Tomorrow noon we will each cook three dishes at Chen's Tavern, and then they will be available for tasting for free!"
Lin Xiao looked at Jin Sanniang with a smile and said slowly.
"What?"
Jin Sanniang was shocked and stood up suddenly, so shocked!
"What are you talking about? I'm going to Chen's Tavern to compete in cooking at noon tomorrow?"
"yes!"
"Are you crazy? The chefs in Chen's tavern are all imperial chefs, you..."
Speaking of this, Jin Sanniang stared at Lin Xiao's smiling face and suddenly realized:
"We have salt!"
"Yes!"
Lin Xiao said proudly:
"Salt is the soul of food. Only if the quality of the salt is pure, can the food taste delicious. If the salt is not good, even the God of Cookery from heaven will not be able to defeat me!"
Jin Sanniang quickly continued:
"If you win the competition, they will definitely ask you what is your secret to cooking. Once you take out the salt, I will definitely be out of stock of salt here!"
Speaking of this, Jin Sanniang's eyes suddenly brightened, as if she saw endless wealth waving to her.
"Exactly what it means!"
Lin Xiao clapped his hands and said with a proud smile.
"Brother Lin!"
Jin Sanniang suddenly held Lin Xiao's hand and said with an embarrassed look:
"To be honest, I told you a big lie today."
"Why?"
"Didn't I tell you that I can clear out the salt you sent in ten days?~ I tried for a long time and found that almost no one was willing to come and buy it. No, before you came, I was with Mr. Yu.
Let’s discuss what to do!”
Lin Xiao smiled confidently:
"Don't worry now, I firmly believe that after tomorrow, our salt will be sold well!"
…
The next day, when Lin Xiao and others just left the inn and went to the market, the place was already bustling and lively.
The capital is completely different from ordinary towns.
Prosperity is not only reflected in the construction of the town, but also in the town where people are coming and going in an endless stream, and all kinds of vendors are passing through, shouting and selling.
People in the capital rarely eat breakfast. They basically have lunch at noon.
In this way, you can not only fill your stomach, but also combine breakfast and lunch into one meal, which is very convenient.
Walking through the streets with a market atmosphere, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a little dazed.
I wonder how my modern friends are doing?
When we arrived at Chen's Tavern, there were even more guests dining here than yesterday.
They are all well-dressed, well-mannered, elegant in manners, and full of aristocratic demeanor in their gestures. They are obviously rich and powerful people.
"The head of the family..."
When Lan Lian saw so many dignitaries gathering together, she couldn't help but panic. She knew that Lin Xiao would definitely win this competition, but she still couldn't help but become nervous.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'll take care of everything!"
Lin Xiao reached out and patted Lan Lian on the shoulder, telling her to relax.
Hearing this, Lan Lian felt a little relieved, but her hands were still tightly holding on to Lin Xiao's clothes, not daring to let go.
"Hey, Talented Lin, why did you come here! I thought you were too scared to come!"
When Chen Yun saw Lin Xiao entering the door, he immediately said something strange.
The losers beside him also laughed sarcastically. Judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they did not take Lin Xiao seriously.
