Before the Tang Dynasty, most of the restaurants were located in the squares of residential houses or in the main roads of mountain villages, and were generally smaller-scale restaurants. Occasional restaurants are seen in historical notes, and they are also small in scale. However, in the two Song Dynasty capitals, Bianjing (now Kaifeng City, Henan) and Lin'an Mansion (now Hangzhou), there were large-scale and well-equipped large restaurants, which were called "Zhengdian" at the time. There are as many as 72 stores in Bianjing.

Most of the restaurants in Lin'anfu, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, imitated Bianjing, and attached great importance to the magnificent decoration of the gatehouse and the exquisite furnishings in the store. Whether it is a government-run wine store or a private restaurant, there are dozens of them in a grand scale, and the restaurant in front of you obviously inherits the architectural style of the Song Dynasty, which is dexterous and scale-free.

Everyone glanced at each other, and they were quite fond of it, nodded to each other, raised their feet and walked in.

From the outside, the scale of the restaurant seems to be small, but when you enter the inside, you find that sometimes what you see with your eyes may not count, and the space inside is twice as large as it seems from the outside.

Tables, chairs and benches are arranged according to a specific space, and most of the walls are calligraphy and paintings of literati, many of which are also handwritten by famous artists, which makes everyone slightly surprised.

There were a lot of people inside, and the noisy sound from Yang Zheng and the others into the banyan tree, it was a little general, and when they entered the restaurant, this kind of noise immediately filled the eardrums, and people couldn't help but look up and take a look inside.

In the spacious lobby, there is a surge of people, the sound of singing, the sound of fists and laughter, and even the sound of many women's laughter mixed in, making the whole restaurant like a lively bazaar.

The shopkeeper shuttled back and forth, hunched over with the little face, sent wine and tea, a few held the pipa, led a thinly dressed, weak and quiet woman, bowed on each table, and with the permission of the guest, they opened the piano and began to sing.

"What a lively place, huh?" Zhang Ben shouted.

Yang Zheng also nodded and said, "Is it really lively?" “

For restaurants, Yang Zheng knows a little, some government-run restaurants (libraries), because of their strong strength and convenient resources, often have "dozens of women in each warehouse, each with a thousand taels of gold and silver wine vessels, for the use of drinkers." There are only a few people in each library, and the name is 'next'. When the drinkers go upstairs, they call the bottle with a famous brand, which is called the 'flower card'. On the eve of the new year, all the women moved to each other's library. The night sale wears an apricot flower crown and sits on a flower stand. However, the famous women are all hidden in the pavilion, and they are not easy to greet. All dishes, cups and plates are also carried to the warehouse at will. At the beginning, there was no one to cook, and the officials took advantage of the class, and at the beginning they did not take advantage of this, to talk about whitewashing the Taiping ear. It is often based on the scholars of the housekeepers, and it is not easy for outsiders to climb it." This is a benefit of the government.

Of course, there is no certain strength, is not up to this requirement, had to do it yourself, in fact, some businessmen with a lot of silver, they personally built the luxury of the private restaurant, no less than the official restaurant, the famous restaurant has Xichun Building, Sanyuan Building, Appreciation Building, Huayue Building, Rixin Building, Wujian Building and Kitchen Kitchen, Zhou Kitchen, Zheng Kitchen, Weng Kitchen and so on more than 10 people, all over the Beijing City.

These private restaurants are large in scale, flexible in operation, comprehensive in service, and high in taste. Each floor is divided into small pavilions similar to more than ten boxes, and the wine vessels are all made of silver, in order to compete for luxury. There are four dozens of generations in each place, all of whom wear makeup and clothes, and laugh and compete. Summer moon, jasmine head, spring full of Qimo. Invite by the column, called "seller". There is also a small mustache, not calling to himself, singing and singing, in order to seek support, called "rubbing and sitting". There are also people who blow the flute, play the ruan, breathe, gong board, sing, and play, which is called "catching up". And there are old women who use small stoves of incense as donors, called "fragrant women". There are also those who sell jade-faced civets, venison, trough cassia seeds, bad crabs, bad sheep's hooves, wine clams, shrimp mincities, and dried bighead carp, which is called "family style".

Where the wine soup is served, it is arbitrarily called, although the ten guests have their own desires, they may as well be. Selling bell heads, remembering dozens of hundreds of products, not working for four times, passing on the drink like a stream, that is, manufacturing and supply, no small violations.

Before the wine arrives, a number of dishes will be set up first; And raise a glass and change the fine dishes, so many times, the more strange it is, and the more flattering.

The restaurant in front of me is a little smaller, but the first color painting of the door of the store, set up red and green power, crimson green curtain, paste gold and red yarn gardenia lamp, decorate the hall corridor, about one or twenty steps, divided into two corridors in the north and south, all of them are Chu Geer, sit steadily.

At this time, the lanterns are hung high, the candles are brilliant, and the top and bottom are photographed, which is not elegant.

When entering the store from Dafan, you can't go upstairs to the pavilion lightly, for fear of drinking Yan shallow. If you don't buy much wine, you just sit downstairs, which is called 'door bed horse road'. At the beginning of the sitting, the wine family first looked at the dishes, asked how much to buy, and then did not change the vegetables. There are also people who are unfamiliar with people, so they suddenly fall and are laughed at a lot." It can be seen that this is a folk restaurant.

Just when Yang Zheng was slightly stunned, a shopkeeper was squeezed out of the crowd, although it was winter, but the child was still sweating profusely, thinly dressed, and said with a rough kick: "The rules of the small shop, most of the shops drink, how people behave, just like the food, the soup is called; The money is small, and the one who stops at 100 dollars and 5,000 yuan is called a small share of wine. If you order a prostitute, you must ask for a high price, and you must eat all the food out of the scriptures, and you will not be insulted."

"If you boil wine, or ask for ten bottles first, start drinking it one by one, and only drink five or six bottles of good wine, and return the rest, which is also a trick to find fraud."

The shopkeeper is not too proficient in Chinese, and it took a long time to say it, but Yang Zheng is just right, Huang Fu is old, and he has long wanted to go in and sit down and drink a glass of water and wine, rest his sore feet, and say a little impatiently: "Okay, you don't need to say it, we won't ask?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded innocently, glanced at Huang Fu a little nervously, and said, "Then the guest officer, please come in?" ”

Yang Zheng took the lead and walked in, followed Huang Fu, and then the others rushed in, and found Gao Hang at a round table on the left, and everyone fell into their seats next to each other.

The shopkeeper saw that everyone had fallen into their seats, so he came over and said in a not very skilled voice: "There are a lot of guest officers, why don't you have a "four divisions and six bureaus"?" ”

The so-called four divisions and six bureaus were originally service agencies that came to the door to organize banquets, which was an innovation in Kyoto in the Southern Song Dynasty. In Kyoto in the Southern Song Dynasty, there are many banquets, such as the Spring Banquet, the Township Meeting, the Luming Banquet, the Same Year Banquet, the Cold Food, the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chongyang Festival, and even the birthday celebration of the full moon and the red and white ceremonies, etc., which are continuous and numerous. In order to meet this need, a new industry of "four divisions and six bureaus" of "four divisions and six bureaus" has emerged in Lin'an, Kyoto. According to the "Wulin Old Things" volume "Rented", "all good and bad things have their own so-called tea and wine cooks, who are dedicated to eating and entertaining guests." All things that are suitable for use are rented to a qiē, and no effort is spared. Although it is widely established, it can also be done aggressively." However, the things on this banquet, after a hundred years of the Yuan Dynasty and half a century of the Ming Dynasty, have already tasted, and after Annan has been tossed and turned, it has already become a dish on the wine table.

Yang Zheng listened curiously, turned his head and asked, "What is the fourth division, what is the sixth bureau?" “

The shopkeeper seems to explain a lot of this word on weekdays, but after listening to Yang Zheng's inquiry, his tongue is a lot more flexible, and he said: "The so-called "four divisions" are the accounting division, the tea and wine division, the kitchen division, and the table plate division. The Accounts Division is in charge of dusting, recording pressure, tables, seats, curtains, screens, calligraphy and paintings, painting tents and other arrangements and cleaning; The Tea and Wine Division, or the Celebrity Guest Division, is in charge of inviting guests, welcoming relatives and marriages, passing messages, inviting guests, pouring wine, serving food and drinking, etc., and assisting the host in entertaining guests; Chef, when the banquet is held, the ingredients are cut and the dishes are cooked; The table plate division is in charge of serving dishes and cleaning like a bowl.

The so-called "six bureaus" are the fruit bureau, the honey frying (cannibal) bureau, the vegetable bureau, the oil candle bureau, the incense medicine bureau and the arrangement bureau. Fruit Bureau, responsible for the preparation of new fruits, South Beijing fruits, sea wax fat, etc.; Honey frying bureau, supplying candied fruits and other things; Vegetable Bureau, procurement of different vegetables, new tastes, etc.; The Oil Candle Bureau, which is in charge of the lighting work; Incense pharmacy, providing spice ambergris, Shen Brain, Qingfu fragrance, incense balls and sobering soup medicine cakes, etc.; The arranging bureau is in charge of chairs and tables, wine sweeping, wiping and other things. “

Yang Zheng sighed and said, "Since there are so many benefits, then order one to try?" “

The shopkeeper is very happy, this dish sounds good, but it is also a dish that requires silver, very few people eat it on weekdays, it is rare for someone to eat it once, how not to be happy, and said: "Guest officer, please wait a moment!" And he departed happily.

Yang Zheng and the others sat down, taking advantage of Gao Hang's efforts to lift the teapot and pour tea for everyone, Yang Zheng said loudly: "I'm going to Jiaozhou soon, let's hurry up and explain some things?" “

Although this is a wine shop, because they are a single family and speak the words of the capital, they are not afraid that people will listen to them.

As soon as everyone heard the task, their dark colors became a little more solemn, and Gao Hang said: "If Brother Yang has any tasks, just say it directly, I'll do it?" “

Yang Zheng smiled and said: "That's not necessary, we just came, and we don't touch the situation, so after entering Jiaozhou, the first step is to train soldiers and horses, from the current situation that is not conducive to us, a hard battle with Li Li is indispensable, there are no strong soldiers, how to win the battle!" “

Everyone nodded, indicating that this was the truth.

Yang Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea soup, and continued: "The second step is to start with occupying people and mourning, and collect the hearts of the people, and the matter will be handed over to Lord Huang and Lord Zhang?" ”

The two clenched their fists and took their lives.

Yang Zheng glanced at Xu Lang again, saw that his expression was indifferent, nodded and said: "Don't be in a hurry, enter the role quickly, I really didn't see the wrong person!" After a pause, he said: "As for the military advisor, let's be a military advisor first, and wait for Annan's assessment, how about we talk about the specific position?" ”

Xu Lang Zhengse said: "A qiē obey the orders of adults? ”

Yang Zheng hummed and said: "As for the news, Brother Gao, you are Jinyiwei, and I rely on you!" ”

Gao Hangdao: "I'm good at this, don't worry, what our Jinyiwei wants to find out, there is nothing that can't be found?" ”

"Good!" Yang Zheng clapped his hands and smiled: "As for me, I am responsible for issuing orders, training an army that can fight, and then fighting a good battle!" Give us a long face! ”

The crowd said, "It should be so!" ”
