Ma Cheng dismounted in front of Huaiyang Tower, and looked at the restaurant, there was no one in front of the restaurant, only two guys stood at the door.

The guys in the restaurant in the Ming Dynasty were much stronger than the later generations, and the two guys knew Ma Cheng too well, the famous second ancestor of waste, and when they saw this guy coming again, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Second master, you are here again!" Inside please! ”

Ma Cheng handed the reins to a fellow, and then asked, "What?" Do you recognize the second master? ”

Nonsense, who in Fengyang City doesn't recognize you as a waste? But the guy didn't dare to say anything in his heart, so he quickly patted his ass and said: "The villain naturally recognizes the second master, and a handsome and dashing person like the second master can come to Huaiyang Tower, it's really brilliant!" ”

Ma Cheng laughed when he heard the flattery of his guy: "Little ghost, you are really good at talking!" Ha ha! ”

A guy opened the curtain for Ma Cheng, Ma Cheng walked in, the Huaiyang building is very spacious, the first floor is a loose table, but there is no one. The second and third floors are private rooms, and if you stand on the first floor, you can see the corridors on the second and third floors, but the doors of the private rooms are closed, so you can't see the inside clearly.

The guy said to Ma Cheng: "Second master, or Tianzi No. 1?" ”

Ma Cheng nodded and followed the guy upstairs, Gu San followed, but Xu Dahu and the others did not come up, but sat down at a few tables on the first floor.

Ma Cheng looked at Xu Dahu and them, and then asked, "Big Tiger, why don't you come up?" ”

The guy smiled on the side: "Second master, they have a low status, they can go up to the third floor to eat, just fry a few meat dishes for them later!" ”

The status of the Ming Dynasty was strictly hierarchical, and what the guy said was good, even Gu San was Ma Cheng's long-term follower, and he couldn't eat with his master, this was the system.

But Ma Cheng came from later generations, although the later generations were bad, but in terms of human rights, they were ten thousand times stronger than the Ming Dynasty. As soon as Ma Cheng heard that the guy was wrong to say this, he scolded: "Fart, these people are Lao Tzu's brothers in the army, let them all come up!" ”

That guy was a little embarrassed, there were still a lot of guests on the third and second floors, if these soldiers were allowed to go up to the third floor, then Huaiyang Lou would not be able to do business.

"Third master, these military men have a lowly status, they... Before the guy finished speaking, his face was slapped by Ma Cheng.

"Fuck your mother's fart, these soldiers are protecting Lao Tzu, what should I do if Lao Tzu is injured in your restaurant? Do you believe that Lao Tzu led the army to tear down your restaurant and use it as a pig's nest? ”

The guy was slapped by Ma Cheng, and he really couldn't look at the shopkeeper on the first floor, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to say: "Second master, the third floor is all boxes, and the table can't sit so many people!" ”

"That's not easy, just move the big table on the first floor!" Ma Cheng saw that there was a large table in the innermost part of the first floor, which was enough for fifteen or sixteen people to sit, so he pointed to the table and said, "What? Are you still afraid that Lao Tzu won't give money for dinner? ”

The shopkeeper knew that Ma Cheng's Lao Tzu was the governor of Fengyang, and he was a real snake, although the owner behind Huaiyang Building was not inferior to Ma Shiying, but he would not fall out with Ma Shiying for this little thing, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to nod to the guy, and let Xu Dahu and other eleven soldiers go upstairs.

Xu Dahu and the others that Ma Cheng said just now saw it in their eyes, and the status of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was really low, and now Ma Cheng can speak for them, which makes Xu Dahu and others very grateful. Xu Dahu walked up to the second floor and said, "Second master, thank you at the end!" ”

Ma Cheng patted Xu Dahu's shoulder with his feet, feeling his hands shake, and then said with a smile: "Big Tiger, Young Master Ben knows that it is not easy for you to fight for the country, today Young Master has a treat, how you want to eat!" ”

The guy who was slapped didn't dare to speak, so he could only scold Ma Cheng angrily in his heart, but he still had to lead the group to the Tianzi No. 1 box.

This box is full of officials, so it is very elegantly furnished, and although the calligraphy and paintings on the wall are not genuine, they are also copied by well-known painters. However, Ma Cheng didn't know these things from reading, so he came to the box and looked around and pouted and said, "It's nothing!" Who drew the picture of a donkey on this wall? ”

The guy took a look, Ma Cheng was talking about a picture of the "Xiaoxue Mountain Travel Map" painted by the great painter Ma Yuan of the Song Dynasty, of course, this is not Ma Yuan's authentic work, but it was also copied by the great painter Wang Jian in the late Ming Dynasty. Wang Jian was raised in the sixth year of Chongzhen, served as the prefect of Lianzhou, and Ma Cheng's uncle Yang Wencong and the great painter Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty were called "nine friends in the painting".

That guy didn't dare to be happy when he heard Ma Cheng say that this painting was a picture of driving a donkey, anyway, what did your second ancestor want to say.

Ma Cheng looked around and it was not a big deal, at this time, a guy moved the big table on the first floor, Ma Cheng beckoned Xu Dahu and others to sit down, and then the guy took the recipe up: "Second master, please order!" ”

Ma Cheng didn't read the recipe at all, and he didn't recognize the traditional characters, so he said directly to the guy: "According to this recipe, the last one!" ”

The guy had never seen such an order, so he was stunned for a long time and asked, "Second master, what did you say?" ”

Ma Cheng said angrily: "I haven't seen the big world in a small place, Lao Tzu said that according to this recipe, come all over again, do you understand?" ”

The guy asked in surprise: "Second master, there are nearly a hundred dishes here, all of them come to one side?" ”

Ma Cheng said angrily: "What are you saying about your mother, let you go up, can the master still lose your money?" ”

The guy was right to think about it, so he hurried down and let the back kitchen prepare.

Xu Dahu and others sat at a table with Ma Cheng very restrained, which was illegal in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Dahu sat for a while and got up and said: "Second master, your kind brothers have it, or we should go downstairs!" Xu Dahu was about to go downstairs after speaking.

Ma Cheng wants to buy people's hearts today, these people are the elite of the army, and he can form a new army in the future, and these guys can just be grassroots officers.

Ma Cheng saw that these soldiers were about to go downstairs, and hurriedly said: "Big Tiger, don't go, it's not too late to leave after listening to Young Master Ben!" ”

Xu Dahu and the others looked at each other, and then Xu Dahu arched his hand and said, "Please give the second master!" ”

"Big Tiger, you know that the young master doesn't study, so the young master wants to ask my father to arrange an official position for me. Young Master Ben wants to join the army, after all, the country is in turmoil now, and it is good to serve the Ming Dynasty if he joins the army. Well! I'll tell you the truth! Young Master Ben wants you to help me and help me train new recruits. ”

Xu Dahu's eleven people are all veterans, and of course it is not a problem to train new soldiers, but it is too sensational for the son of the governor to join the army. However, Xu Dahu was relieved when he heard Ma Cheng say this, as long as there is something to ask them, Xu Dahu is not a fool, there must be a reason why Ma Cheng is suddenly so good to them, Xu Dahu doesn't want to be used as cannon fodder.

Xu Dahu hurriedly said after hearing Ma Cheng's words: "The matter of training recruits is wrapped up in Dahu, as long as the chief master allows, Dahu will definitely do his best to help the young master!" ”

Ma Cheng nodded when he heard Xu Dahu say this: "Okay, since we are all colleagues in the army, you don't want to treat me as the second young master of the governor, we are all brothers!" ”

Although Ma Cheng said this, Xu Dahu didn't dare to really call Ma Cheng a brother, but after saying that, Xu Dahu and the others were relieved to sit down and eat.

Ma Cheng looked at the eleven people, all of whom were in their twenties, which was a good age, and Ma Cheng asked, "What are the names of all of you?" ”

"Second master, the villain's name is Duan Hongyi; The villain's name is An Zhennan; The villain's name is An Zhenxi; The villain does not have a tuba, others call the villain Xie Si; The villain also does not have a tuba, and the villain is called Tian Liu; The villain is a soldier of the Gu family, called Gu Xing; The villain's name is Xu Dingguo; The villain is called Dong Ba; The villain's name is Xue Gui; The villain's name is Wang Shuang! ”

These ten people are from Guizhou, so there are three ethnic minorities, Duan Hongyi is Miao, the An brothers are Yi people from Guizhou, An Zhennan is the elder brother, and An Zhenxi is the younger brother.

Ma Cheng looked at these ten people, plus Xu Dahu was exactly eleven people, if he could succeed, these people would be his team.

"Okay, Xie Si, this young master will give you a name, and it will be Xie Guangkun; Tian Liu, your name is Tian Boguang! Ma Cheng suddenly remembered the bald Xue Guangkun on TV, and Tian Boguang, who was alone in the smiling rivers and lakes, and said these two names by the way.

When the two men were given names, they quickly stood up and bowed down to thank them, which is not unusual for the name given by their masters, and only those closest to them have this treatment.

Gu San, who was on the side of Ma Cheng, was on the side of Ma Cheng's heart was hot, he was originally a military household, but he was too old to fight, so he was sent to the Ma family as a house slave, and now when he saw Ma Cheng pulling everyone together, he hurriedly said: "Second master, or maybe you can be regarded as a villain!" Please also ask the second master to give the villain a name! ”

Ma Cheng glanced at Gu San, after all, Gu San had been serving himself in front of the saddle and behind the horse for the past two days, so Ma Cheng asked, "By the way, what is your tuba?" ”

Gu San's face turned red when he heard Ma Cheng ask this, and Si Si Ai said in a hurry: "Second master, my father had no knowledge back then, so he called me Gu Goudan!" ”

Ma Cheng was angry when he heard it, Ma Cheng knew that Gu San was a hereditary hundred households, and this kind of hundred households should be kept in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, could it be that Gu San's file was also Gu Goudan?

"Gu San, you are also called Gu Goudan on the file of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"

Gu San blushed and nodded, Ma Cheng smiled enough and said, "Okay, for your saddle's saddle and horse's saddle, you will have Gu Changwei in the future!" Ma Cheng also gave Gu San the name of the famous director in later generations on a whim.

Today, Ma Cheng gave random names to the twelve, what Ma Cheng didn't know was that these twelve people would follow Ma Cheng to fight in all directions in the future and become the twelve King Kongs under Ma Cheng, each of whom was a general in his own right, of course, this is a later story, and I will talk about it later.

The Twelve King Kongs don't know their future legendary life yet, and now they are only twelve big-headed soldiers.

At this time, the dishes of Huaiyang Building have been ready, and they come up like flowing water. Although Xu Dahu and the others are Ma Shiying's personal soldiers, their income is not bad, but they have never eaten the food cooked in a high-level restaurant like Huaiyanglou. After getting Ma Cheng's permission, the twelve people shook off their cheeks and munched.

The dishes are very rich, what osmanthus duck, sauce four treasures, grilled pig's head, lion's head, boiled dried silk, soft pocket long fish, crystal meat, squirrel mandarin fish, Liangxi crispy eel, etc., Ma Cheng looks good, but tastes it and feels like that. This is also no way, the seasonings in later generations are complicated, among which chili peppers and other seasonings have not yet been transmitted to northern Jiangsu, and the dishes produced in this way naturally cannot be compared with those of later generations.
