【021】Hongmen Night Banquet (II)

Shencheng Hotel is the signature hotel of Shencheng, has a history of nearly 300 years, at the beginning of the two Shencheng local residents of a partnership opened a Yangchun noodle restaurant, and later with the development of business, as of the beginning of this century, the name of Shencheng Hotel has basically become a golden signboard.

With the establishment of consulates and concessions in Shencheng by Western countries, the Shencheng Hotel basically became the only national signboard in Shencheng at that time.

After the founding of Taizu, Shencheng Hotel added accommodation on the basis of the original catering, and officially became the banner of Shencheng Hotel and catering industry with the Pearl Hotel.

Shencheng Hotel is a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, with splendid decoration and tall and spacious private rooms, luxurious and elegant. Both the architecture and the interior facilities are absolutely second to none.

At six o'clock in the evening, Shen You slowly came to the Shencheng Hotel with square steps, and Long Jia, who had been standing at the door waiting for Shen You, hurriedly greeted him when he saw this, and said uncontrollably: "Boss Shen is really punctual......

The word punctuality was very long, and there was obviously a strong sense of sarcasm in it, but Shen You ignored his dissatisfaction at all, and said as if he didn't hear it: "Punctuality is a good habit, lead the way." ”

Although he thought that Long Jiutian might have a big deal, when he really felt it up close, Shen You couldn't help but be taken aback.

There are three more high-end and luxurious private rooms in the Shencheng Hotel, named Tiangang, Diyong and Renwei, originally Diyong should be called Diyong, but the business considering that the word Sha is not very compatible, so it should be named Diyong.

And the box set by Long Jiutian Huo Ran is the Tiangang Box. Because that day, Su Qingqian and Gangzi ordered Gongsun Ying's favorite grape fish from the Shencheng Hotel, and when they were chatting, Shen You also learned a little more about the Shencheng Hotel from Gongsun Ying's mouth.

The private rooms in the Shencheng Hotel are indeed divided into three, six, nine and so on, and they are basically directly related to the amount of money, and the only exception is the three private rooms of Tiangang, Diyong and Renwei.

It's not that these three boxes don't need money, but that these three boxes can't be solved by money alone.

Among the three boxes, Tiangang is even worse, it is said that if you feel that the qualifications are not enough, the Tiangang box of the Shencheng Hotel would rather be free 365 days a year than just take on business.

There were three people sitting in the box, among which the smiling fat man on the far right, Shen You, knew that he was Mu Zhizhou, and he also knew how much he was in Yanhai City. The one in the center should undoubtedly be Long Jiutian, his face was red, and his eyebrows were faintly the posture of the superior, and on his left was a middle-aged man who was relatively well-maintained, he looked as warm as jade, as if he didn't exist.

But Shen You was the first to notice him, and there is a saying in "The Dictionary of a Thousand Doors" that the more you seem to care about the most, the more likely you are to become the chess piece that will affect your plan the most.

Unlike Mu Zhizhou, which looks like a mass of Qi Dragon Jiutian and looks very majestic, that person is like a stream of water, plain and bland, but he seems to have the domineering spirit that can break through all obstacles.

After Shen You sat down, Long Jia retreated outside the door, and Mu Zhizhou got up instantly, picked up the teapot and poured tea for Shen You. Shen You understood that the other person who looked like boiled water was definitely higher than Mu Zhizhou's identity.

Regarding all this, Shang Yingying had also mentioned to him as early as in Yanhai City that among the Qing Gang, it is estimated that the only people who can make Mu Zhizhou look up are Long Jiutian and the Golden Finger of the Five Guards beside Long Jiutian.

As Long Jiutian's close five guards, these five people didn't even pay attention to Ding Shoufang, the second leader of the Green Gang.

"Sure enough, it's a young hero!" When Shen You glanced at Long Jiutian and the three of them, Long Jiutian also glanced at him. Finally opened his mouth and said it with a smile.

Looking at Long Jiutian's smile, Shen You inexplicably felt a tightness in his heart, as if a king cobra was staring at him on one side.

Shen You hugged his fists and said, "Shen You has seen the dragon master!" ”

Although Shen You also knew that it was impossible for Long Jiutian to talk to him about business as soon as he came up, the way Long Jiutian opened really surprised him.

"I heard that Boss Shen and my Sheng'er have a good conversation, and there are many common topics?" Long Jiutian seemed to ask casually.

If Shen You could still accept this sentence, but Long Jiutian's subsequent words made him a little uneasy.

"Actually, although I'm an old man, my thinking is also old and not stiff, you young people's affairs, just be happy, I won't get involved in opinions."

What is this for? Are you going to match him with Long Sheng'er? Shen You's mind flashed in an instant, Zhang Hagidi's figure and the charm of Quancheng and Wenci.

But this is only a moment, after all, he is a smart man, he grew up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and Lu Tianxing has always established the idea of putting the country first in his outlook on life when he was young.

Since then, whether it is still a hero or a million, all of them have cultivated his iron heart in the communication with women, he admits that he also has a deep nostalgia for the women who appear in his life, but he knows more about the Tao, nostalgia for this thing, just like looking at the lotus, but from a distance can not be blasphemous!

The dishes were served one by one, except for the squirrel fish, the specialty dish of Shencheng Hotel, all the other dishes were actually based on Quancheng cuisine. Obviously, all this was deliberately done by Long Jiutian.

Sure enough, Long Jiutian took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, pointed to a plate of nine-turn large intestines on the table and said to Shen You: "The first time we met, I didn't know what you like to eat, what taboos you had, I made my own opinion, I heard that you are from Quancheng, so I specially ordered a few Quancheng dishes." ”

Long Jiutian smiled when he spoke, it seemed that everything was very ordinary and polite, but Shen You inexplicably thought of Gongsun Ying's broken leg, and he didn't have a good impression of Long Jiutian in his heart, the closer he smiled, the more dangerous it was in Shen You's eyes.

A peck and a drink, its own destiny.

Seeing that Shen You just smiled and didn't speak, Long Jiutian also calmed down, and didn't say anything else, but used chopsticks to pick up a piece of nine-turn large intestine and put it in his mouth and feasted on it. While chewing, he showed a look of enjoyment.

After swallowing it, Long Jiutian smiled at Shen You and said: "To tell the truth, I have been to this Quancheng many times, but every time I go, I must eat this dish. ”

Seeing Shen You shaking his head gently, Long Jiutian looked very performant and said busily: "According to historical research, this dish should have come from the early years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, when there was a wealthy merchant surnamed Du in Quancheng who particularly liked the number 'nine', and he had another restaurant under his name. ”

When listening to Long Jiutian's words, Shen You secretly looked at the Golden Finger and Mu Zhizhou who were accompanying him, only to see that the Golden Finger was sitting in danger, and Mu Zhizhou was diligently pouring tea and adding wine on the side.

"At the beginning, the nine-turn large intestine was called braised large intestine, and the chef of the hotel under the name of the wealthy merchant surnamed Du was particularly fond of cooking pigs, and the cutting was ruthless, the materials were sufficient, and the five flavors were complete, and when it was cooked, it was boiled and then fried and then burned multiple processes, and the spoon was put into the pot several times until it was simmered."

Rao is Shen You was defensive at first, but he was unconsciously attracted to the past in Long Jiutian's eloquent narration.

Long Jiutian saw that Shen You was gradually attracted by him by carelessness, and then said: "Actually, don't talk about the process, just say that the chat is also very detailed, not only sand kernels, cinnamon and other traditional Chinese medicines, but also onions, ginger, garlic, etc., the taste can be said to concentrate the five flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and garnish the coriander after the pot, the verdant coriander and the ruddy and transparent appearance of the fat intestine complement each other, fat but not greasy." Because it is delicious, it was renamed the Nine Turns of the Large Intestine. ”

Shen You had also heard about all this vaguely before, of course, he also knew that it was not such a simple sentence to change the Dao to the Nine Turns of the Great Intestine, and there was also a story, but when he saw Long Jiutian jumping over, he didn't mention it again.

In addition to the specialties of Shencheng Hotel, the rest of the meals are Quancheng dishes, and it cannot be said that Long Jiutian has worked hard, but because of the example of Gongsun Win in front, Shen You admires Long Jiutian's forbearance and forbearance even more.

To become the leader of the largest gang in Shencheng, Long Jiutian not only has the spirit of fighting desperately, but also needs a wise mind.

After three glasses of wine, Shen You saw that Long Jiutian hadn't cut to the chase, and knew in his heart that he was afraid that Long Jiutian wanted to use a high-minded but approachable posture to make him gradually bow his head.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight, what an ingenious strategy.

It's just that Shen You will definitely not let him make any achievements, and he took the initiative to ask with a smile: "I don't know why the Dao Dragon Gang Leader called me here?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I just happened to hear Sheng'er say that you have two jade pieces in your hand, I don't know if it's convenient to borrow me to see?"

Although Shen You had already prepared in his heart, he was still slightly shocked in his heart when he heard Long Jiutian naked-naked, this Long Jiutian is really not easy to ponder?

If you don't open your mouth, he can keep going around in circles with you, so that you don't know how long he can go, but when you start to communicate with him clearly, he just goes straight in with a straight knife, which catches you off guard.

Saying that he is sleek but he is unusually direct, saying that he is direct but he is very sleek, it is really slippery.

Seeing that Shen You didn't speak, Long Jiutian continued: "You and Sheng'er are about the same age, you can move around more in the future, and even the door of our Green Gang can be opened for you, after all, in Shencheng, the Green Gang can indeed be ranked first!" ”

Long Jiutian seemed to be speaking very casually, but it was word by word, which made it difficult for people to ponder.

Soon, Shen You made a decision in his heart, almost without the slightest consideration, he said with a smile: "Dragon Gang Master, I really don't know the jade piece you said, I have indeed seen it, but you seem to have found a mistake in looking for me, you should go to find Zeng Hu, it is something that I regard as the root of my life, how can it get into my hands!" ”

He was just gambling, betting that Long Jiutian was not sure that the jade piece was in his hand, after all, if it was really Long Sheng'er who revealed it, Long Sheng'er seemed out of place when he first came to Shencheng to look for him in Tianmei Health Center, and he shouldn't have appeared tonight......
