Chapter 7 Warm Smoke Pavilion

Looking at Zhang Shun's longing on his face, he immediately understood that this Warm Smoke Pavilion should be no different from Yichun Courtyard.

Ma Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "Well, it's noon now, let's go to the Warm Smoke Pavilion." To be honest, Ma Yunting wanted to visit the ancient brothels, mainly to investigate the development level of the service industry in the five dynasties, do a market research, and see if he wanted to invest in the ancient tertiary industry. Sitting in the sedan chair, Ma Yun thought happily, hehe, it seems that the crossing is big, few people are involved in this industry, we can be regarded as a precedent, a male bustard.

On the way to the Warm Smoke Pavilion, I actually saw a surprising scene from a distance: a person, to be exact, should be a man, wearing a gray robe, holding a long sword in his hand, his hair stood up high as if he was wearing a high hat, and he read aloud, "I am a madman in Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kongqiu." Holding a green jade staff, bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower. The five mountains are looking for immortals, and they are good to travel to the famous mountains in their lives. Lushan shows off the South Dipper, the screen is nine stacks of clouds and brocade, and the shadow falls on the green light of Minghu. The two peaks are long in front of the golden gate, and the Milky Way hangs upside down with three stone beams. ”

I didn't expect that there were such performance art masters in ancient times, no wonder ancient China has always been in the leading position in the world. Ordinary people have personalities! If it weren't for the hunger, Ma Yun really wanted to chat with this master, understand the spiritual and material cultural needs of the masters of this era, and discuss whether his behavior is to express his inner restlessness, or to reflect his dissatisfaction with real life, or his longing for the future life.

Sitting in the box of the Warm Smoke Pavilion, Ma Yun's heart is cool, what is the name of a broken restaurant, why do you want to call such an imaginative and literary name? It's completely deceiving consumers, if it weren't for the fact that I was too hungry, I wanted to walk away downstairs just now.

"Fifth Master, what do you want to eat? , is it still the same" The chairman and CEO of this hotel, after seeing Ma Yun coming, immediately let Ma Yun into a luxury box and asked flatteringly.

Ma Yun glanced at Zhang Shun, Qian Qing, and Shi Da, and said in his heart that "I" had often come to this place in the past, so he asked, "Change the taste today, do you have some new dishes here?" ”

"Fifth master, you are really a coincidence today, our store just recruited a famous chef in the north the day before yesterday, Pinglu cuisine is called a must, the history of Pinglu cuisine can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the holy master Confucius on "not tired of eating, not tired of fine, not to eat its sauce, not to eat from time to time" food quotes. ”

Pinglu cuisine? As the name suggests, the dishes eaten by the people of Pinglu, there was a Pinglu Festival envoy in the fifth generation, probably the dishes of that place, Ma Yun said in his heart, "What are those styles?" ”

"There are eight immortals crossing the sea to make trouble, one egg hatches two phoenixes, and the soup bursts and is crispy", "braised conch", "grilled prawns", "nine turns of large intestine", "sweet and sour Yellow River carp", "clear soup bird's nest", "roasted oyster locusts"... ”

"What do you mean by the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to make trouble?"

"Master, this dish uses shark fin, sea cucumber, abalone, fish bones, fish maw, shrimp, asparagus, and ham as the "Eight Immortals". Chop the chicken breast into a puree and make it into an arhat money shape at the bottom of the bowl, which is called "arhat". After it is made, it is placed in a round porcelain jar, arranged in eight directions, and the Luohan chicken is placed in the middle, sprinkled with ham slices, ginger slices and boiled green cabbage leaves, and then poured the boiling chicken soup on it; This egg hatches two phoenixes, with watermelon and chicks with dried scallops, mushrooms and other ingredients cooked, its taste is fresh, nutritious, quite distinctive. Sweet and sour Yellow River carp, the fish is cleaned up on the spot, cut the straight, oblique flower knife around the body of the fish, wrap it in paste after entering the flavor, put it in the oil pan and fry it, make the head and tail, take it out and put it in the plate, pour on the vinegar sauce, quickly serve it, and still make a "squeak" and "squeak" sound after falling off the table, which is quite elegant. This dish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy, sour, sweet, slightly salty, and delicious. ”

"Then come to the Eight Immortals and cross the sea to make trouble, one egg hatches two phoenixes, and the soup bursts and is crispy。。。。。。。。。。"

The dishes had just been served, and he was about to give an order, calling on Zhang Shun, Qian Qing, and Shi Da to eliminate these meals together, when I saw the door curtain flicker, and a person flashed in, about thirty years old, wearing a navy blue robe, bowing to Ma Yunshen, and said with a smile: "Little prince, I can wait for you." ”

Zhang Shun approached Ma Yun and whispered: "Lord Wang, at this time, Wu Ban Wu Gongzi is your friend. ”

Ma Yun didn't speak yet, but he saw this Wu Ban stunned, and sighed with a somewhat gloomy expression: "It seems that the rumors in the market that the prince's amnesia is true." ”

Looking at Wu Ban's appearance, the news of Ma Yun's amnesia hit him quite hard. The sage once said that wherever there are people, there will be gossip. Ma Yun is also a leading figure in Dachu, and it is normal to have a little gossip, but unfortunately no one asked Ma Yun to shoot advertisements.

Ma Yunxin said: Doesn't it mean that I have amnesia? What's the big deal, I don't care myself, why do you look so gloomy? So Ma Yun smiled and said: "Wu Ban, you have waited for me for so many days, is it just to tell me that I have amnesia, I know, there is hard work?" ”

Wu Bandao: "That's not it, there are rumors in the market that the prince has lost his mind and gone crazy, and there are also rumors that the prince fell from a horse. ”

"Oh." Gossip, if it's true, it's not gossip.

Wu Ban saw that Ma Yun was unimpressed, and said hurriedly: "Lord Wang, this matter is very important. In my opinion, these rumors are a conspiracy against the prince! ”

Seeing Wu Ban in such a hurry, Ma Yun couldn't help but stand up, arched his hands, put on a humble posture to be taught, and asked, "Wu Gongzi, please sit down, have you eaten?" Let's talk while eating. ”

Then Ma Yun instructed Qian Qingdao: "Go, give Wu Gongzi that pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Little prince, what a general's demeanor." Wu Ban couldn't help but sigh.

Ma Yun scolded secretly: Grandma, are you praising me or damaging me in this sentence, is there a mistake in my action just now, and it is not popular to give it up in the fifth generation? Or was it not popular to talk about business and sign contracts at the dinner table in the fifth generation? It is important to know that the decision is made at the dinner table, not at the conference table.

So, Ma Yun said noncommittally, "Childe, you are a full man who doesn't know that a wicked man is hungry, as the saying goes: people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you are hungry." Come on, come on, Ma Yun will toast you first. ”

Wu Ban was a little embarrassed and humbly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's the villain who disturbed the prince's meal, but this matter is really critical, the prince must not take it lightly." ”

The concept of respect and inferiority of ancient people is still quite strong, and after Ma Yun toasted Wu Ban with a glass of wine, he found that Wu Ban calmed down from the state of burning his eyebrows just now and hating iron but not steel, and he was a little apologetic.

Since you want to do favors, then you have to do it, Ma Yun said in his heart. So after Ma Yun added a few more dishes to Wu Ban, he asked contemplatively: "It was me Meng Lang just now, I can't remember some things clearly since I fell off the horse, please Mr. analyze it for me, what is going on with this conspiracy?" ”

Wu Ban put down his chopsticks, pursed his lips, looked at Qian Qing and Shi Da, and did not speak.

Qian Qing hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Shi Da and I will guard the door for you." Ma Yun nodded.

After Wu Ban saw them exit the room, he said cautiously: "King Wumu's last words, the last brother of the Great Chu Throne is the last brother. Now that the king is in full bloom, this brother and brother are probably difficult to implement, and the king is quite fond of the prince, and the world knows it. There are many complaints in the clan, and there are even more rumors in the market. Looking down, the king's thoughts about the little prince as the son of the world are not strong, so the little prince is standing under the dangerous wall, in a place of suspicion, and he is still complacent, I am afraid that disaster is not far away. ”

Ma Yun said in his heart: Cheap dad is really good to himself, but I really can't see the idea of making me the son of the world. Otherwise, the cheap mother will definitely leak out.

"Come on, sir, let's have another drink."

"Lord, the year before last, there was a great drought in Chu, and the people were living in poverty, so the prince advised the king to exempt the people of Chu from paying taxes for one year, and the people were grateful, and called you the virtuous king."

"Well, what does this have to do with the conspiracy?" Ma Yun couldn't help but ask. After saying this, Ma Yun suddenly thought, why do I think this is a conspiracy? The power of sycophants is really huge, and your boy's eloquence is okay.

"Lord Wang, don't you think that there are many doubts about your falling from the horse?"

Ma Yun looked at the ceiling aimlessly. With his right hand, he gently turned the wine glass, quietly waiting for him to say the following.

Wu Ban saw that Ma Yun was silent, thinking that Ma Yun was thinking, and continued: "If at other times, your fall from the horse may not be noticeable, but the time when you fell from the horse was when the queen returned to her hometown and province, and the prince was also the eve of the commander of the forbidden army, isn't this thought-provoking?" ”

If at the beginning, Ma Yun was just trying to see how Wu Ban was going to fool around, but now he unconsciously entered the environment he described, and a thought "swooped" suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him really surprised, could it be that this matter was done by the cheap second brother?

Ma Yun was suddenly startled, stood up and said, "Hehe, what else does Wu Gongzi have to say, if it's just like this, Ma will take the first step." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the window facing the street.

Ma Yun now suddenly knows why Ma Yun always feels a little uneasy after traveling back to ancient times. Because he found that there was no one around him who could make him 100% absolutely trust. Trust in this thing is either the result of long-term cultivation, such as being small, or having a common ideal, such as a revolutionary aspirant during the Anti-Japanese War.

Is this Wu Ban my friend? To what extent do we have a friendship? How much of this is for me? Could he have been sent by the other people in the clan to divide the relationship between me and the cheap second brother? If he was sent by his father... One thought after another flashed in Ma Yun's mind, making him unable to distinguish clearly.

Wu Ban seemed to be taken aback, also stood up, and said with a deep salute: "After the prince was attacked, there were first rumors in the market that the prince was killed, and then rumors that the prince had lost his mind, and the people in the country were very sad and thought that they had lost a virtuous king. The villain believes that this matter has three disadvantages with the prince. ”

"The prince and the country are the same body, such rumors will hurt the reputation of the prince, and this is not good; There are such rumors in the market, if the prince is determined to take office, then in the short term, the king is suspected of nepotism, the prince is worried about being incompetent, the officialdom is hesitant to wait and see, and the soldiers of the forbidden army are uneasy, which is not good. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Ban paused, drank a glass of water to moisten his throat and continued: "The so-called clear person is self-purifying, these two are unfavorable, and with the passage of time, they can naturally be eliminated, but there is another disadvantage, the villain tries to be the king's words." Those who spread rumors have ill intentions and want to separate the prince and the king. ”

Ma Yun's body was shocked, and he slowly turned around, this person can actually see so deeply! He froze and reluctantly smiled: "The rumors in the market, how can we separate the relationship between father and son?" ”

Wu Ban and Ma Yun glanced at each other, and said stubbornly: "If the prince falls from the horse and dies, who will benefit the most from this matter?" ”

Ma Yun was silent.

Wu Ban said directly: "On the surface, the most profitable person is the second prince, because the king is in the spring and autumn period, and the possibility of passing on the throne and brothers after a hundred years is not great, this is clear to the king, and the uncles are also clear, and the second prince must also be clear." And because it is like this, once the prince falls from his horse and dies, the king is angry, and the first thing he suspects is the second prince who is the eldest son. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone? ”

Ma Yun looked at Wu Ban carefully again, if only a note was pasted on people's faces, writing about this person's temperament, hobbies and social relationships. Wu Ban, Ma Yun thought about history carefully, and didn't remember that there was a person named Wu Ban in the Five Generations. A person who is not famous does not mean that he is good-looking. Guan Yu is not fierce, he is not killed by an unknown person; Ma Chao is not handsome, and he is not in the northwest by others; Is Mink Chan beautiful or not, and I don't know who the right to the first night is given to?

There is a saying: If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and when the enemy moves, I will move chaotically. You've been waiting for me for a few days, giving me analysis and analysis, you guy should have already taken countermeasures. Thinking of this, Ma Yun gave him up to his seat and said, "Then according to Brother Wu's opinion, what should I do?" ”
