Chapter 211: Yan Chun Lou (I)
The smoke cage is cold, the moon is long, and the sand is long, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai.
The alum building in Kaifeng Mansion in Song Tokyo can be described as the "armor of the Jingshi wine shop", which is built with a majestic spirit and can be seen (jìn) at the highest point.
As for the restaurant located in Jinliangqiao, the scale of the Yan (chūn) building is not inferior to that of the white alum building, at least not far behind.
The Yan (chūn) building is also five storeys high, with a total of five floors facing each other, and between the buildings, each with a flying bridge railing, the light and shade are connected, and the momentum of the restaurant is also extraordinary.
The Yan (chūn) building stands on the top of the water realm, and when you stand on the top of the pavilion, you can see a misty mirror lake, the water of which is drawn from the Bianhe River.
The scenery is unusually beautiful, making people forget to leave.
The most important thing is that the Yan (chūn) building is located within the jurisdiction of the right hall of the Kaifeng Prefecture...
The hall of the restaurant is spacious, and the Langfang is covered; The pavilion is full of people, and the seat is stable; hanging windows and bamboos, each hanging curtain; The lights and candles are shining, and the top and bottom reflect each other.
Upstairs, there are dozens of (jì) mothers, inviting customers by the column, groups of (jì) mothers with heavy makeup, you can drink and sing, and even accompany... , so that the dignitaries lingered, went and came back. This is called a "seller". There are also little maids who come suddenly, singing and chanting, in order to get a share, and call it "rubbing", that is, singing.
On the two vermilion Huabiao pillars in front of the door, there are two white pink plates, and there are five big characters on the left and right, respectively, "the world is incomparable wine" and "the world has a bright building." ”
Before the white pink card, there were several restaurant welcome servants, wearing square-top-like headscarves, neat dark red shirts, and clean shoes and socks under their feet.
"Get off the sedan car!" The sedan chair of Li Sanjian and others stopped behind the Yan (chūn) building, and a member of the entourage called out in a long voice.
Sure enough, (rè) is noisy! After Li Sanjian came out of the sedan chair, he looked at the luxurious and majestic five-story restaurant, and looked at the endless stream of drinkers, buddies, servants, maids, (jì) mothers and others, and secretly praised in his heart.
The area of Jinliang Bridge belongs to the more prosperous area in the west of Kaifeng Fucheng, in the west of Yujie. The streets are bustling with people. The streets of less than two miles are densely packed on both sides of the street with large and small restaurants, wine shops, tea shops, snack bars, small shops, etc., what jade hammer, Si (chūn) hall, Huangdu (chūn), Zhonghe Hall, Pearl Spring, Youmei Hall, etc., all kinds of restaurants, shops, goulan, tile shops, everything, Li Sanjian is dazzled.
"Ouch, Li Tuiguan has arrived?" At this time, there was a person standing in front of the soft sedan in front of the restaurant, and after seeing Li Sanjian coming out of the sedan chair, he hurriedly took two steps, walked in front of Li Sanjian, bowed (shēn) and saluted Li Sanjian: "Xiaguan has been waiting for a long time, and I have seen Li Tuiguan." ”
"You... Hu June? How are you here? What are you? Li Sanjian asked after looking at the Tang scribe on the side in surprise.
The person in front of Li Sanjian is Hu Sanshui, the right army patrol envoy of the Military Patrol Academy, and he has been waiting for Li Sanjian for a long time to see this appearance.
"The lower officials heard that Li Tuiguan had Yaxing come here for a gathering, so he came uninvited, hoping that the Tuiguan would forgive one or two sins." Hu Sanshui didn't wait for Tang Shu's answer, and said with a smile.
"Envoy Hu, are you still early?" Huang Goupi looked at Hu Sanshui and asked with a smile.
"Haha, the official has this Yaxing, how dare the lower officials be a moment late?" Hu Sanshui also replied with a smile.
The two were unusually familiar, which made Li Sanjian have to suspect that they were afraid that they would often meet.
"Li Tuiguan, please inside!" Hu Sanshui then said respectfully to Li Sanjian.
"Hu Jun, please!" Li Sanjian raised one hand and said with a smile.
Didn't the two of them have had some troubles because of the case of Bi Lin (jiān)'s sister-in-law before, but as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, why should Li Sanjian bother with him at this time?
In other words, there is no deep hatred between the two.
Afterwards, the two of them, surrounded by more than a dozen officials of the right hall of the government office, walked to the door of the Yan (chūn) building in kiss (rè).
All the officials were smiling and hugging Li Sanjian towards the restaurant, and the sound of flattery was endless, and Li Sanjian finally experienced the feeling of hugging before and after at this time.
"Guest officer Wanfu Jin'an, li..." Yan (chūn) Lou to welcome guests because of the long-term welcome, has already practiced a pair of fiery eyes, can distinguish the guest's (shēn) at a glance, can distinguish the noble and poor, officials and ordinary people, and even big officials, small officials can estimate the ** is not far from ten, at this time to see Li Sanjian and others are extraordinary, looking at the appearance should be from the government, so they did not wait for Li Sanjian and others to approach, so they took three steps and made two steps to greet them, and sang loudly while ying.
The most important thing is that the little guys have already seen that some of these regulars are the officials of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Go, go, rude, don't sweep away the interest of my father-in-law, go and call your shopkeeper out." Before the little servants finished singing, the Tang scribe interrupted the little ones and whispered a few words in the ear of one of them.
The little guys glanced at Li Sanjian in surprise, and someone ran into the restaurant.
Such a young person, only in his early twenties, is the official of the right hall of the Kaifeng Mansion? It made all the little guys secretly surprised in their hearts.
Although the Yan (chūn) building is also not small, and the ping (rì) often receives dignitaries, and even the imperial relatives and royal relatives have many people, but the county officials are not as good as the current management, and they have to be respectful and respectful to beg for a living on the boundary of other people's land, otherwise the Kaifeng Mansion Yayou Hall pushes the official master to find an excuse casually, and you can let the Yan (chūn) building close its doors.
"Ouch, I said how the sky is full of sunshine today, it turns out that there are distinguished guests visiting the store." The fat shopkeeper in his fifties in the Yan (chūn) building did not dare to slack off after receiving the report, and hurriedly greeted him, panting while running: "Go inside, and the small ones will be arranged, and ensure that the guests are satisfied." ”
is so young that he is actually the official of the right hall of the government office? The fat shopkeeper bent over, glanced at Li Sanjian secretly, and said secretly in his heart, could it be that which son of the court ruler was the head of the right hall?
You must know that the flow of the officials in the right hall is generally above the sixth grade, and they must wear scarlet official robes.
"Disturb, disturb." Li Sanjian didn't have any official pretensions, and after thanking him, he walked towards the restaurant surrounded by everyone.
Tang scribes, Huang Goufu and other officials felt that Jin (rì) was particularly high-eyebrowed, and he was also tiger and tiger when he walked.
Ping(rì)li, with their official position, could not let the shopkeeper of the Yan (chūn) floor come out to greet them in person.
Everyone felt that the Yan (chūn) Lou Jin (rì) Xiaowu and (jì) girls looked at them differently.
"Tang Chaguan, how many young ladies do you want?" The fat shopkeeper took the time to grab the Tang scribe and asked secretly.
"Needless to say? One for each person, two for my father-in-law, remember, the first brand 'Yutang (chūn)' must come out to accompany you. Tang scribe glanced at the fat shopkeeper and said.
"'Yutang (chūn)'? This... This... Not quite right? Tang Chaguan, you also know, 'Yutang (chūn)' is that person? The fat shopkeeper said embarrassedly.
"Hey, hey, look at my record (xìng)... Hearing this, Tang Shushu patted his head and said, "Then Gongsun everyone?" ”
"That's very good, let's arrange it for the small ones." The fat shopkeeper hurriedly replied.
Li Sanjian and his party were greeted on the fifth floor and sat down in an accord on the fifth floor near Jinghu.
The servants and maids who were waiting on the side did not wait for the guest officer's instructions, and obediently pushed open several carved wooden windows, and the wooden windows were pushed open, not only a fresh air penetrated in, making people feel extremely cool, but also through the wooden windows, they could also see the lake scenery in the distance, fluttering, making people feel refreshed.
"Poof... With a bang, Zeng Gongming unfolded a folding fan, fanned it up, and at the same time handed Li Sanjian a handle.
Li Sanjian glanced at Zeng Gongming, took the folding fan printed with a landscape painting and fanned it up.
The weather was too hot (rè), Li Sanjian was stuffy enough in the sedan chair, and he felt much more comfortable after opening the window and fanning the wind.
Li Sanjian (rì) wore a white square scarf on his head, wore a white thin shirt, and his tied black hair was lazily draped over his shoulders, and then he held a landscape folding fan and shook it slowly, so he looked unusually handsome and chic.
Phew, embroidered pillows, Zeng Gongming secretly rejects sour water in his heart, and can't help but curse secretly.
Look at the people, young and handsome, and (shēn) in a high position, some of the people present are secretly envious in their hearts, but there are not a few who scold Li Sanjian for embroidered pillows in their hearts...
"The first lamp, almonds, banxia, shrunken sand, cardamom, small wax tea, incense, rhyme ginger, incense...
"The second one, olives, mint, green skin, deer (ròu), shrimp mincing, bad crab...
"The third lamp, the jade-faced civet, the deer (ròu), the dregs of sheep's feet, the wine clams, the honey dice, the crispy snail...
After a while, the door opened, and the fat shopkeeper led ten neatly dressed servants to walk in with various dishes, and reported the names of the dishes as they served.
The servants served three dozens of dishes, which were the first course to accompany the sake and the appetizer before the main course.
The dazzling array of dishes made Li Sanjian stunned and smacked his tongue.
After coming to the capital for several years, this is the first time that Li Sanjian has seen the prosperity of Kaifeng Mansion Restaurant in addition to Duanwangfu, and has seen what luxury and glitz are, which surprised Li Sanjian.
At the same time, Li Sanjian was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't insist on paying the bill, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford a meal with Li Sanjian's little monthly salary.
At this time, in addition to dozens of appetizers, there are also women playing and singing on the side, and there are even performers singing and playing.
The cigarette smoke is insignificant, and this is the incense burner lit by the "Xiang Po" to help the wine.
Bowls, plates, fruit dishes, fruit bowls, etc. are all sterling silver tableware, and it is estimated that hundreds of taels of silver are used.
Such a table of banquets must be at least 100 times, right? Li Sanjian secretly guessed.
"Shopkeeper, serve the wine!" Tang scribe spoke.
"Meishou, Immortal Mash, Yuxian Liquid, Jade Brewing, Hele Qiongji, Yuanzi Qiongbo, Yang Queen Faqing... What do the guests want? When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he reported dozens of famous wine names in one breath for Li Sanjian and others to choose.
There are poems as evidence: Qionglin Yushu competes for luxury, and the old eyes are dizzy and there are flowers. Mo is a phantom silver world, and the building is better than the Fanwang family.
