Chapter 432: The old scalper who works hard and complains
Imperial Kitchen ...... Tryouts?
When such a name was announced by the emperor himself, and in an instant, he walked on the ground of the capital, and I don't know how many restaurant owners were sensational, and the guild halls of various provinces and provinces were also in an uproar.
For so many years, many people know that the little thing in the imperial dining room is in the hands of some old people in Guanglu Temple and even higher, so after the emperor swept away the people in Guanglu Temple and the imperial dining room, many people looked forward to changing the old system, but no one expected it to be changed so thoroughly!
Especially when they heard that the emperor would reward the imperial chef with a bronze medal and give them away after the imperial chef retired from the imperial dining room, many chefs simply cried with joy.
Although the chefs who have done well in cooking these years are also very popular, and they can definitely have no worries about food and clothing, but if they go to the homes of high-ranking officials and eunuchs, princesses and princes, they are still called to drink and be inferior, and they will be replaced when they are old and can't do it, but look at the treatment that the emperor has drastically changed this time, how can the cooks who have always been regarded as inferior not be happy?
A few families were happy and a few were worried, when the chef world in the capital was about to explode, in the Shuntian Mansion, Zhang Chuan, the prince of Qin Guo, who had just received the detailed plan of Lu Sanlang's imperial chef selection competition, couldn't help but stare at the detailed activity plan and security plan.
The word security is not too new for him - security and security, as a noble who was supposed to defend the emperor, he remembered that at the beginning of the reign of the first emperor Ruizong, the noble still had the duties in the palace of the guard, for security? But even if he is approachable like him, the Duke of Qin Guogong, it is the first time he has seen these two words can be combined with ordinary people.
But after carefully looking at Lu Sanlang's list of festive days such as the Lantern Festival, the trend of high incidence of various thefts, abductions, and even injuries in the capital, he finally put away the suspicions and became serious. So, Zhang Chuan, who has always believed in employing people, summoned Song Tuiguan, and then handed over Lu Sanlang's plan that he hadn't finished reading yet.
Then, he said with a smile: "Since the previous case of the Guozijian planting has been concluded, the mastermind behind the scenes does not need to be ignored by the Shuntian Mansion, Song Tuiguan, you shouldn't have much to do at hand for the time being, right?" ”
met two bosses who valued him very much in a row, and Song Tuiguan wanted to say that there was no gratitude for such a kind of kindness, of course it was impossible, but the most curious thing for him was that there were a lot of subordinate officials of Shuntian Mansion, but whether it was Wang Jie or Zhang Chuan, they all regarded him as an old scalper who worked hard and complained.
Wang Datou's concept is, rush with me, do with me! As for Zhang Chuan's purpose, it is, rush me, do it well, and I will stand in the way if there is something! Although both of them can be classified as good bosses, and the comments they give him are very good, both of them without exception all support him like a spinning top. At this moment, he took the plan, but he was a little hesitant to read it.
He was afraid that after seeing it, he would get into big trouble. However, if he doesn't look at it, it doesn't mean that Zhang Chuan won't say it.
"There is a shortage of people in the imperial dining room, and the imperial kitchen is supposed to be selected, and the emperor said that there will be a selection competition, although there are some whims, but just like the fairness of the imperial examination, if the imperial dining room can prevent the recurrence of the mistakes in the future, this kind of selection also has merit. Because the emperor promised to allocate money from the inner treasury this time, there was no way to stop the old men in the court, and there were too many people involved in a rotten Guanglu Temple. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Chuan didn't seem to see that Song Tuiguan was entangled to the extreme, and said to himself: "Although I don't know whether Lu Sanlang's plan was drawn up by order, or whether he volunteered, I hurriedly swept it, and it was quite remarkable. The reason why it was chosen in the remote place in the southwest of the outer city is to consider that there is less flow of people, and it is not easy to have any chaos at that time. ”
"But I'm afraid there aren't enough people in Nancheng's Terracotta Division, you can pick some capable people among the three shifts, and this security task is estimated to be very heavy at that time." Zhang Chuan naturally followed Lu Sanlang's formulation in the plan, and said with a calm expression, "After all, no matter how remote a place is, holding such a big event, there will be many cooks to go, and people will always need to maintain ......"
Song Tuiguan listened to Zhang Chuan's babbling to himself, and he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. The previous case of Guozijian that could have made the Shuntian Mansion Yaji Flying Dog jump turned out to be so easy to solve, and he was relieved, whether it was the official or the official below, but who would have thought that a bigger trouble would be sent to the door in an instant.
Zhang Chuan used to be a nerd who was bent on compiling books, so maybe he didn't notice the surging crowds this might bring, how could he not know? Don't look at it as a remote area in the outer city, even if it is a small village outside the capital, that small village will definitely become a place where countless people flock to it, and it will break its head!
Who doesn't want to be famous? Who doesn't want to make money? Those owners who open restaurants, those cooks who rely on their own cooking skills, I'm afraid they're going crazy!
And it's not just the cooks, the people of the capital love to watch the excitement, it's not a day or two! It's so lively, and I know that there must be a lot of celebrity chefs, just to eat a bite of deliciousness, many people may flock to it!
Although he didn't read the plan at all, and he didn't know that Lu Sanlang had castrated the parts of attracting people, shaping business opportunities, increasing land value, and creating a new business district, the anxious Song Tuiguan still had a kind of frustration that showed talent and encountered soldiers, and it was unreasonable to be depressed. When he returned to his execution hall, he immediately ordered someone to call Lin Laohu, the head catcher in the torture room.
Sure enough, when Lin Laohu, who had suffered a false alarm before, heard that he was going to go to the outer city management, his face was so entangled that he was about to crumple. Like Song Tuiguan, he also thought about it, things don't sound troublesome, but it's actually very troublesome!
After a long while, he asked with a sad face: "My Song Ye, Zhang Dayin is a son of a family, but you know that we are suffering, can't this matter be pushed?" Not to mention that the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division was originally stationed in the outer city, let's just say that the two county offices of Daxing Wanping can't always be ignorant, right? The most important thing is that maybe the emperor will send a sharp cavalry battalion to maintain it? ”
In that case, a small role like an errand boy like theirs would only have to be called around! Even so, it is better for the Shuntian Mansion to avoid this drudgery!
Song Tuiguan stared at Lin Laohu for a long time, until he lowered his head weakly, and then he sighed: "You think I didn't think so?" Just as he was about to borrow Zhang Chuan's method of encouraging himself and spur Lin Laohu in such a simple and rude way as I am optimistic about you, he only heard a voice outside.
"Song Tuiguan, Dr. Zhang, the Guozijian ordered someone to send a post."
As soon as he heard Zhang Shou, Song Tuiguan glanced at Lin Laohu, Lin Laohu immediately trotted out, and after a while, he came back with a greeting post in both hands, and he looked frank and swaying that I didn't see anything. Song Tuiguan didn't have time to take care of his careful thoughts, and when he opened the post and saw the handwriting on it, his face was full of helplessness.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the contemptible people are in the Xinglong Tea House in Nanyuexiu Hutong, Guangningmen Street, Outer City, and prepare a little tea snack, please enjoy the light at noon. Zhang Shou. ”
In Song Tuiguan's opinion, Lu Sanlang's reputation is all based on Zhang Shou, he never believed in the words of the prodigal son who turned back and became a genius - although that was what the emperor said - after all, it takes time to become a genius, and if you want to change the famous evil young man Zhou for the better, it is not an overnight achievement, let alone the little fat man of the Lu family?
Therefore, Lu Sanlang's so-called plan, even if he hasn't read it, he doesn't believe that it came from the hand of himself at all, and he feels that it was Zhang Shou's instructions behind his back. In this case, it is better to meet Zhang Shou than for him and Lin Laohu to worry here!
Song Tuiguan insisted on ordering Lin Laohu to go to the appointment with him, and the head of the torture room could only agree, and went back to the torture room to order the next person, and hurried to the punishment hall to meet Song Tuiguan without even bothering to fill his stomach. In his mind, since it was noon at the tea house, even if he only prepared a small amount of tea, Zhang Shou would not be so picky, and he was not even willing to invite a lunch.
However, when he really went out of the city and found a place, he met a strange young man sent by Zhang Shou to welcome guests at the gate of the alley, and followed behind Song Tuiguan, and decided that he would only bring ears and eyes and no mouth to Lin Laohu, who was stunned by the scene in front of him.
What is Xinglong Tea House...... This is simply a tea stall with only a piece of oilcloth on top and selling a bowl of tea for a penny!
Who's going to be in this kind of hell place? Fortunately, he took off the black skin of the head catcher on his body, otherwise if people knew that the dignified and fast head catcher would appear on this kind of broken tea stall, there would definitely be a thousand and ten thousand kinds of messy rumors spread...... Of course, if you knew that it was Song Tuiguan and Dr. Zhang, the national eunuch, the result would have been different.
Lin Laohu secretly complained and worried, and when he came to Zhang Shou's table, he saw that an old tea seller was busy boiling water, and he didn't even come to serve, so he knew in his heart that Zhang Shou didn't reveal his identity. When he saw Zhang Shou with Song Tuiguan, and saw the two of them sit down after greetings, he thought that he was just catching his head, so he was a little hesitant whether to sit down.
"Lao Lin, you can sit too."
Zhang Shou raised his hand with a smile, and when he saw that Lin Laohu hesitated for a moment, he sat down on the seat opposite Song Tuiguan, that is, opposite him, he asked: "I think Song Tuiguan should have read Lu Sanlang's plan?" ”
Sure enough, it's about you!
Song Tuiguan was full of resentment, but under Zhang Shou's eyes, he had to pretend to be an understatement and say: "Thanks to Zhang Dayin's trust, of course I have already seen it." "Even though he just did a cursory sweep.
And Zhang Shou pretended not to see Lin Laohu secretly looking at himself there, and said softly: "Actually, the outer city is different from the inner city, not only are the houses cheap, but there are even a lot of wasteland, such as this neighborhood." Therefore, whether it is living, farming, or doing business, in fact, it is not as safe as the inner city, and many people dare not sue the yamen even if they are bullied and humiliated. ”
When Lin Laohu heard Zhang Shou's words, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He stole a glance at Song Tuiguan, and saw that this veteran of the criminal name, who had long since left the circle of scholars who read dead books and read dead books, was also frowning.
Before the two of them could come up with a reason, the next moment, they heard a babbling voice: "Yo, Old Man Qin, you still dare to come out of the stall?" Last time, the three of us brothers vomited and diarrhea after drinking your tea, and you haven't even paid for the soup and medicine! There are three of us, one person has five yuan and fifteen yuan, if you can't take it out, you don't stay in Nancheng! ”
Lin Laohu didn't know what was going on with this sudden appearance, and when he got on the ground, he felt that the sweat and hair on his back exploded, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou. And Song Tuiguan, who came out of civilian clothes today, raised his eyebrows and also looked at Zhang Shou.
Under the gaze of the two of them, Zhang Shou calmly took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "This is the case in some places in the outer city, the county government is beyond the reach of the whip, and the soldiers and horses in the southern city turn a blind eye, six words, I can't care about it, I don't want to care about it." ”
Although his voice was not loud, one of the three people who had just come to provoke had an excellent ear, and he turned his head to look at it. At this time, Zheng Dang, who had just brought Song Tuiguan and Lin Laohu, didn't know where to go, and there were only Zhang Shou and the three tea customers on this empty tea stall, no matter who they were, they looked very eye-catching.
Therefore, the person who happened to hear Zhang Shou speak rushed over violently, and when he arrived in front of him, he didn't ask about 3721, and slapped him directly on the old and decayed Eight Immortals table: "Who said strange things just now?" Well? ”
Seeing that the people came to ask viciously, Lin Laohu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and also slapped the table and said angrily: "What did Lao Tzu say?" What kind of ability is it to go to the Shuntian Mansion to play prestige and bully an old man who sells tea! ”
The other two men who were still talking viciously and mocking the tea seller looked over, but the moment one of them saw Lin Laohu clearly, his face suddenly turned into a cold sweat. He rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and then said with a smile on his face: "Lin Zhutou, how can it be so coincidental......
Seeing that Lin Laohu's face was not good, he dragged his companion who froze in an instant, and was about to press someone to apologize to this Shuntian Mansion Punishment Room, but he didn't want Lin Laohu to shout in a deep voice: "Get out!" How dare he be dissatisfied, he hurriedly agreed, dragged people around and ran. The other person saw that the situation was not good, and quickly slipped away one step earlier.
When the tea seller saw this scene, he was already dumbfounded. And Lin Laohu squeezed out a smile at Zhang Shou, and was about to put down two empty words about rectifying the security of Nancheng. But before he could speak, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "But the reason why the Imperial Chef Selection Contest was chosen in this place, this kind of behavior is naturally intolerable." The emperor said that a group of elites would be transferred to deal with this kind of extortion and other traitors. ”
Lin Laohu's scalp was numb instantly. Sure enough, do you want to adjust those masters in the cavalry camp? If that's the case, he can't wait for some recent case to get out of the way from those who look down on them! Not only him, but even Song Tuiguan couldn't help coughing lightly: "In this case, coupled with the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, if the Shuntian Mansion is sent out again, I am afraid it will be easy to pass the buck to each other." ”
"That's right." Zhang Shou didn't seem to hear Song Tuiguan's pushing, and said with a smile, "And the Shuntian Mansion is in the north city, which is too far away from the outer city, which is the south of the city, and it is maintained in the outer city every day, and the third-class officials are also prone to complaints." Speaking of which, Guozijian Jiuzhangtang is about to enroll students again, this time the papers and the papers, Song Tuiguan may help me? ”
