Chapter 42: Washing the Dust
Liu Hua was unprepared to be squeezed away by Fang Kuo's master, and he was not allowed to react, and a large number of guards and attendants brought by Liu Heng came up one after another, and one by one directly squeezed him far away to the end of the team and never had a chance to get to the front.
Under the boat, there are senior local family owners in Jiangzhou who have a deep understanding of the mess of the Liu family, and at this time, watching Liu Hua being squeezed away, they all gloated in their hearts.
Liu Guogong doesn't know how to take the Liu family when he comes back this time, Liu Hua, the patriarch, hehe, whether he can continue to do it is still unknown? That is, Fang Taishou doesn't know the truth, otherwise how dare he let him go up and show his face?
Although Fang Taishou has the highest official position in their one-third of an acre of land, their families are not vegetarians, and it is not that they have to worry about him. The relationship between the family and the court is not intertwined. Anyway, he is not in his own faction, who made him as soon as he heard that Liu Guogong was from the Liu family, and he didn't even inquire about it carefully, so he rushed to take a look at the Liu family everywhere?
Since that's the case, I can't rush to remind him of anything, and wait to see a good show.
Even the elders of the Liu clan saw Liu Hua being squeezed in embarrassment from a distance and couldn't see his figure, and they only thought that he had said something that angered Liu Heng. It's just that everyone hates in his heart, he can't be taught, and he has to endure what he should endure in advance, how can he offend people as soon as he goes up?
None of the people in the group had the spare time to stay and wait for Liu Hua, just seeing Liu Heng's family and Tai Shou coming, they hugged over to say hello.
The elders of the Liu family also greeted them with iodine on their faces. This time, Liu Heng didn't give a look or say anything unpleasant, but his performance was not salty or light. At this time, the resentment of everyone in the Liu family towards Liu Hua was even deeper, and even Liu Hua's younger brother Liu Yao secretly complained in his heart that his brother was unreliable.
Fang Kuo, who knew best that Liu Hua really didn't say anything out of the ordinary, secretly glanced at each other, and didn't dare to despise the Zhenguo Gong in front of him - this master is also a black, and he will give people to yin without a trace.
After greeting for a while, the group headed by Liu Heng's family and went directly to the Zhuangyuan Building.
Zhuangyuan Building is the highest grade restaurant in the local area, although it has not been opened for a few years, but whether it is decoration or dishes, they have not dared to call the first.
And the champion building has been opened all over the Zhou Kingdom, it is said that the back is not small, and those who dare to make trouble are not only the ones who are so powerful that they will not only be cleaned up afterwards, trembling, but also quickly apologize publicly, and dare not come to the door to find the second time. So far, no one has figured out what the owner of the quasi-champion building is, but no one dares to make trouble in it later.
It is said that the champion building in each place has three floors high, the ground floor is the hall where everyone can enter, but each table regardless of the number of people at least fifty taels of silver, do not accept reservations, first come, first served, but can be packed, but the packed food box is fifty taels of silver, Tong Su is not deceitful, each floor is the same, you want to bring your own food box can't be; The second floor is a private room, which only accepts reservations, and you can enter if you have money, but the minimum consumption amount is at least 1,000 taels of silver; The third floor is also a private room, and only reservations are accepted, but the minimum booking amount is from 5,000 taels, and it only accepts reservations from dignitaries. In layman's terms, it means that you can't just be rich, you have to be an official, and you have to be an official at least five or above. Otherwise, you'll have to deign to go to the second floor.
If that's all it takes, Zhuangyuanlou not only raises the threshold so high, but also puts it higher: you can't order food when you go in to eat. Whether it's a guest on the first floor, a second or third floor, you just have to say how much silver you want to eat. The rest is none of your business. The daily meal depends on the master's arrangement. Maybe it's different every day, maybe it's going to be heavy for two or three days in a row, depending on the mood of the master.
is such a perverted rule, and the champion building is so hot that it is abnormal. The lobby on the first floor is always full, and when it comes time to eat, people waiting for a table can be cleared out of the street. Many people who can't wait simply pack it up. The second and third floors are also scheduled for appointments, and they can often be scheduled until a month later.
As soon as he received the news that Grandpa Liu Guo was coming, Fang Taishou immediately sent someone to the Champion Building to discuss whether he could charter the Champion Building for a whole day to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Liu Guogong.
I thought it would be a little difficult, but the degree to which Zhuangyuanlou was difficult to speak was more than one or two people who had tried. That's the lord who doesn't even give face to the emperor's relatives. Originally, Fang Taishou and the people below had calculated that it would be good to be able to charter the second and third floors at the worst, at most, whoever booked the box that day would be discussed by the Taishou Mansion to discuss and borrow it.
Who knew that this time the shopkeeper of the champion building was very good at discussing, and the reason was also high-sounding, and it was also an honor for the champion building to entertain the great heroes of the Zhou Kingdom. Not only that, the shopkeeper also waved his hand, and also gave a big discount, only 300,000 taels of silver was collected, and asked Fang Taishou to wrap the champion building for a whole day.
Outsiders heard that they all praised Fang Taishou's big face. Fang Taishou himself was also very proud. In fact, as everyone knows, Fang Taishou did not take the initiative to send someone to the door, and the shopkeeper of the champion building also had to find an excuse to send it to the door.
Just kidding, their own masters are here, can they still watch them go to other homes? Of course, to greet their own masters, they have to use the highest specifications, can they clear the field or not?
When the team arrived at the Champion Building, it was already nearly noon. The shopkeeper had already led the group of young men in the building to wait at the door to greet them. Even the chefs who usually don't show their faces easily came out one by one.
They have already gotten the news, but they are their serious masters who are here today, and when will they not come out and show their faces at this time? So when Fang Taishou and the local tyrants saw the faces waiting to greet them at the door of the Zhuangyuan Building, they were nervous and excited, almost pinching their faces. They all couldn't close their mouths in surprise - what about the high profile that was good? Could this style change too quickly? Are they in the wrong place today? This is not actually the champion building? Many people can't help but subconsciously look up to confirm the bright and shiny golden signboard of the champion building.
Looking at the situation in front of them, the family of four glanced at each other, An Ruyi and Liu Huairan almost hid their faces, it was too embarrassing, did these people dare to do it more obviously. Liu Yue didn't feel anything, but she also firmly remembered that she couldn't tell that Zhuangyuan Building was actually her own industry. So the little mouth is very tightly closed.
Liu Heng's expressionless face, which he had been maintaining, almost broke his work, and a smile flashed in his eyes. The shopkeeper here seems to be also surnamed Yang, called Yang Changgui? It seems that he is still a cousin with Uncle Yang?
"Shopkeeper Yang?"
"Grandpa Guo." The master can even know himself. Yang Changgui, the shopkeeper Yang was excited, took another step forward, and noticed that something was wrong, so he quickly coughed a few times in disguise: "Hehe, hehe, that, everyone is excited when they hear that it is the grandfather of the country who is in person, and they all want to come out and see the big hero who can single-handedly capture the monarch of the Solo Kingdom." So, huh...... Grandpa and Mrs., young masters, and young ladies don't be surprised. Everyone is so excited, so excited. ”
The people in the champion building hurriedly followed and nodded like chickens pecking rice. When Fang Taishou and the local tyrants heard this, they also felt that it was reasonable, and they nodded along. It's understandable to meet the big hero. Suddenly, everyone no longer felt that the behavior of the champion up and down the floor was strange.
An Ruyi was secretly funny when she saw it, it seems that there is no shortage of fans in any era. This shopkeeper Yang can also be regarded as a talent, and one sentence reversed everyone's suspicions.
Stepping up to the third floor, the upstairs reception and dust washing banquet was divided into two places, one for male guests and one for female dependents. An Ruyi took Liu Yue to the women's box, and the two of them took off the veil under the service of the personal girl when they entered the door, and greeted and saluted the women and ladies of the back house who had been waiting inside one by one.
……
After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and after the meal, An Ruyi received a lot of invitations, not to mention it, and Liu Huairan and Liu Yue also received a lot of meeting gifts.
