Chapter 20 Ding Xiang Lou (II)

Zhang Wenxing is obviously very familiar with Dingxianglou, and he doesn't need a menu to order food, he just came with his mouth open, and ordered two jars of wine and a pot of honey water, and the honey water was obviously called for Yue Fei and other small ones. Well, Jiang De should also be in this small one or something.

"Teacher Zhou, this Dingxiang House is the best restaurant in our Neihuang, especially their signature fried lamb here, with the salt and spices, it is a must!" Zhang Wenxing smiled and introduced to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong sighed and smiled, "Then we have to give it a try." ”

The dishes came up quickly, first some fruit plates and cold dishes came up, Jiang De found that the colors and shapes of these dishes were particularly beautiful, and there were actually some of the chefs in later generations who carved the meaning carefully, Jiang De was about to try it with chopsticks, but Zhang Wenxing hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, Xiaolang, this is a plate, not for eating." ”

Jiang De was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he saw that except for Wang Gui and a few other teenagers who picked up chopsticks, people like Zhou Tong did not move at all.

Looking at the dishes? What is it?

Jiang De is still not familiar enough with the food culture of the Song Dynasty.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came up again and moved all the dishes, Wang Ming probably saw Jiang De's confusion, so he said to Jiang De, "Jiang Xiaolangjun, as the name suggests, this look plate is specially used to see, not to eat, the dishes you see look beautiful, but the eight CDs can't be eaten or taste bad, just show us, nourish the eyes, appetizing." ”

Depend on! Actually despised by the ancients? Jiang De suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, and he smiled crookedly.

Yue Fei whispered to Wang Gui next to him and asked, "What should I do if I take this look at the plate?" Don't you want to eat it? ”

Wang Ming probably heard it, so he said again, "That's true, you can't eat it." ”

Yue Fei crooked his mouth, feeling a little wasteful.

At this time, the dishes are served again, as usual, with various soups first, followed by some fried goods. To be honest, the taste of this roast lamb is really good, and the taste of mutton sprinkled with cumin and minced salt is not much different from that of later generations of mutton skewers, probably the only difference is that there are no chili peppers.

This gave Jiang De a new layer of understanding of the diet of this world.

After waiting for the wine, Jiang De regained some confidence, no matter what, his wine is the best in the world, in this regard, the gap between the level of the Song Dynasty and later generations is very obvious.

"By the way, Wang Baozheng, just now you said that you were going to come to this Dingxiang Building? But what's the joy? Zhang Wenxing asked Wang Ming.

Wang Ming haha said, "It's also a happy event, this time, Jiang Xiaolangjun has settled down, and secondly, we are going to do a business, which can be regarded as scouting the enemy." ”

Zhang Wenxing asked with interest, "Oh? Don't know what business it is? ”

Wang Ming smiled and said, "It's this restaurant business, let's discuss it, and finally want to open a restaurant, I wanted to buy this Dingxiang Building, but looking at the business here, I'm afraid this owner won't sell it." ”

Zhang Wenxing sighed, looked at Zhou Tong and asked, "Could it be that Old Teacher Zhou wants to buy it and live up for a long time?" ”

Zhou Tong touched his beard, nodded and shook his head and said, "Although the old man did participate in a share, but it was not for his own pension, Master Zhang also practiced martial arts, he should know that this poor and rich martial arts is not a lie, but this martial arts practice is very expensive, and the money and food earned by the old man will probably be spent in the hands of these bad people." ”

Wang Ming took over the conversation again and said, "We have three brothers and Zhou Lao Xianggong in this business, and Jiang Xiaolangjun is also counted as a share." In fact, to put it mildly, Xiao Langjun is the real major shareholder! ”

Zhang Wenxing finally confirmed that Jiang De was really not an ordinary identity, and he was definitely not a simple person of a nephew, he looked at Jiang De seriously and asked, "Xiao Langjun, this Neihuang County is not big, it is not small, but there are tens of thousands of people, there are more than ten large and small restaurants in this small county, not to mention those restaurants, I don't know what confidence Xiao Langjun has to open up a career here?" Could it be that there is an ancestral secret recipe? ”

Jiang De smiled, he didn't really want to push himself to the front so quickly, he still remembered that his father was always hidden behind the scenes in that chaotic era, Jiang De said, "Buddha said, don't say, don't say." ”

Jiang De's appearance at this time is still an eleven-year-old boy, how old is this? In the next generation, he didn't graduate from elementary school, looking at Jiang De's old god saying this, he immediately made Zhang Wenxing laugh, he was originally a person in the temple, and he liked this kind of Buddhism the most, he looked at Jiang De and said, "Xiao Langjun is really interesting, maybe, I believe you must have a way, after all, Wang Baozheng is a rare smart person in my life, I haven't seen him look away!" ”

"Slow ~ turn ~ turn ~ the dishes of the guest officers, your dishes are ready." The shopkeeper walked up with the dishes and put them down, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, use it slowly." You're all set! ”

Zhang Wenxing turned around and asked, "Xiao Er, let me ask you, do you sell this hotel?" ”

The little second suddenly said with a difficult face, "Master Zhang, aren't you embarrassed for the small, where is this matter that can be said by the small, this has to be said by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!" Shopkeeper!! ”

Zhang Wenxing didn't stop it, and after a while, a slightly chubby shopkeeper came up, and when he saw that it was Zhang Wenxing, he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Isn't this Zhang's book, fortunately, Wang Baozheng is also here, how many of you eat well?" ”

Zhang Wenxing nodded and said, "I won't bring so many people to you if you don't eat well, this teacher Zhou is from the capital, recognize your eyes, don't have conflicts in the future, let me ask you, your restaurant is yours?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly, it has been inherited by our Cao family for six generations, and since the time when the great grandfather beat the four hundred military states, we have this Dingxiang Building!" At that time, it was still a small restaurant. ”

Zhang asked, nodded, and asked, "Then do you sell it?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Wenxing in disbelief, and said, "What did Master Zhang say?" The little one seems to have broken ears, and it seems that he heard them wrong. ”

Zhang Wenxing's face changed, and his tone became cold, and he said, "I said, do you have a redemption in this restaurant?" ”

The shopkeeper had no smile on his face, and said with a smile, "It's not embarrassing, but our Dingxianglou really doesn't redeem it, and no matter how much money it has, it won't be sold." ”

Zhang Wenxing still wanted to be angry, but was stopped by Jiang De, "Master Zhang, don't worry, shopkeeper, since this has been said, then let's talk about it, Dingxianglou is very good, very good, it is the first in Neihuang, but don't talk about the Great Song Dynasty, even in Hebei than Dingxianglou, I don't know how many restaurants are better, you just said that you are a six-generation inheritance, haven't you thought about getting out of Neihuang?" Compared with the Cuiyun Building and Fan Tower? ”

The shopkeeper shook his sleeves and looked at Jiang De, and wanted to ridicule Jiang Deren's small words, but when he saw Zhang Wenxing next to him, he still held back and said, "This little Langjun, if you want to eat, I Dingxianglou will open the door to pick up customers, if you want to redeem the store, I Dingxianglou..." Hehe, you can still keep this ancestral industry! ”

Yes, there is no need to talk about it, Jiang De is a little disappointed, although he has the idea of starting anew, but if he can borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, it is undoubtedly the easiest. He waved his hand and said, "The shopkeeper is good to go, we lost our words." ”

The shopkeeper arched his hand, smiled at Zhang Wenxing again, and then left.

Zhang Wenxing looked at Jiang De suspiciously, and asked, "Xiao Langjun, don't you want this Dingxiang Building?" ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "Where do you not want it, although this Dingxiang Building is not very good, but after all, it has some of its own foundations, but this is fine, we can start a new stove, everything can be as I want." ”

Zhang Wenxing no longer regarded Jiang De as a child at this time, Jiang De and Wang Gui and others who were still grabbing food could be regarded as two kinds of people in a few words, Jiang De sighed, and said to Wang Ming, "Wang Yuanwai, it seems that we will have to take a look around, this street is the most prosperous street in our Neihuang according to you, so even if we start from scratch, we have to find a storefront on this street." ”

Wang Ming nodded and said, "That's true." ”

When Zhang Wenxing heard this, he had an idea, pointed not far away and said, "If you want to say that this street is indeed the most prosperous place in our place, I am afraid it is not easy to redeem the store, but there is a courtyard over there, it was originally a rich merchant, it is said that he has recently been selling and preparing to go to Kaifeng, what do you think?" ”

Wang Ming, Zhou Tong, Jiang De and others stood up together and looked at Zhang Wenxing's hand, and vaguely saw a garden, but it was also quite big, Jiang De smiled and said, "I think this place is good, we can go and see it later." ”

Zhou Tong hummed and said, "The garden belongs to the place of the dragon's head according to the direction, and it is a place of great luck, and the old man looks good." ”

Zhang Wenxing looked at his suggestion, everyone said yes, and said a little proudly, "I have been in that place a few times, and it is very wide inside." ”

Jiang De said again, "It's just that in this way, we need time to build a restaurant, and the construction of this restaurant also requires a lot of money, I think, we have to sell oil for a while, let me think about it again." ”

Zhang Wenxing also confirmed that this Jiang De was really the one who took the idea.

The meal continued to eat, and everyone began to chat slowly, Wang Ming asked Zhang Wenxing, "By the way, what will our new county lord do?" ”

The county is also the county order, the county of the Song Dynasty is divided into ten categories according to the economy, population and other factors, respectively, the red, the second red, the second chi, the second ki, the hope, tight, the upper, the middle, the lower, the lower 10, etc., of which the capital, the capital and the nearby counties are divided into the red, the county, the second red, the second county, the second one to four levels, the other five to ten levels of the county to the number of households in order of more than 4,000 households for the county, more than 3,000 households for the tight county, more than 2,000 households for the upper county, more than 1,000 households for the middle county, more than 500 households for the lower county, less than 500 households for the lower county, And it is raised and lowered every 3 years.

Neihuang County has more than 4,000 households at this time, it is the real Wangxian County, the county order here is from the eight products, don't look at the later generations are said to be seven sesame officials, in fact, the seven products are not small in ancient times, and the county order of Kaifeng County is only seven products, of course, if it is the Kaifeng Mansion Yin, it is from the three products of the big official, which is almost the secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee in later generations, but at the county level, the seven products are already the level of the top sky.

Zhang Wenxing said while eating, "This new county will not be long before it arrives, it is said that our county is not small, and it will go up soon, this time it is also because of some changes in the capital that they will come to us to avoid the limelight." ”

Zhou Tong sighed and said, "The old man has been in the capital for many years, if he is from the capital, maybe the old man still knows him, I don't know who it is?" ”

Zhang Wenxing put down his chopsticks and said, "This is really not good, the new county surname Liang Shijie is Taishi Cai's son-in-law!" I don't know if the old teachers know each other or not? ”

Zhou Tong exclaimed in surprise: "Why is he?" How did he come to Neihuang? Didn't he serve from the Fuwen Pavilion of the Fourth Grade? ”

Jiang De listened while recalling whether there was such a person as Liang Shijie in his memory, but he didn't think of it, this Cai Jing's son-in-law... His unfilial son is very famous, and this woman herself really hasn't heard much of it.

Wang Ming also asked curiously, "Old man, are you telling the truth?" Is he a great official from the fourth grade? Then how did you come to our Neihuang County to be a county honor? Isn't the county of our Neihuang County from the eighth grade? This... That's too much of a difference, isn't it? ”

Jiang De nodded when he heard this, yes, this is also a high-ranking official at the vice provincial and ministerial level from the fourth grade in the future, if it is the mayor, it is also the mayor of the provincial capital, where is there a provincial and ministerial-level county magistrate?

Zhang Wenxing smiled and said, "Isn't it, this is the interesting place, our new county lord, because he is the fast son-in-law of Cai Taishi, a few years ago in the court was also smooth, it is said that he is almost going to take another step and become a scholar in the middle school, and then he will have to call him Liang Zhongshu, but in the last month, a comet fell from the sky, Cai Taishi was demoted out of Kaifeng, after Zhang Xianggong took power, he suppressed the Cai family and his party very much, and abolished the new law established by Cai Taishi back then, so as Cai Taishi's son-in-law, can it be better? This is here to avoid trouble! ”

Jiang De's brows furrowed, Liang Zhongshu? Jiang De finally knew who this Liang Shijie was, it turned out to be Liang Zhongshu of the Water Margin, and the birthday gang intercepted by Chao Gai was his birthday gift to Cai Jing, so it won't be long before he returns to the throne, but this decline is too ruthless, who is this Cai Jing? How could he possibly watch his son-in-law being treated like this? The county order of the four products, I really dare to think about it!

The more Jiang De thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and Wang Ming asked Zhou Tong, "Old Minister Zhou, in this way, are you still familiar with the newcomer Liang Xianzun?" Don't know how this person is? ”

Zhou Tong snorted and said, "Cai Jing's son-in-law, what can I do... However, there are no great evil deeds circulating. ”

Wang Ming sighed and said, "Then it shouldn't be bad, that's good." ”

What a fart! Jiang De is almost about to scold, but the Water Margin is clear, this Liang Zhongshu will take out 100,000 yuan every year to give to his father-in-law as a birthday gift, this is still a birthday gift, the usual ice and charcoal two respects have not been counted, God knows how much money he is greedy for a year, many people will say that the salary of officials in the Song Dynasty is high, and it is not necessarily greedy, but this is high, but it is also measured, even if it is a real Zhongshu Shilang, that month's Yulu is only 200 yuan, plus 20 horses of silk, 30 horses of silk, 50 horses of cotton and 100 stones of grain, Even if Liang Zhongshu doesn't eat or drink for a year, he can't accumulate a birthday compendium!

Jiang De's eyes rolled, then again, really a Hai Rui, I really don't know how to start, but if it is the future Liang Zhongshu, then many of my own things will be easy to do, although this corrupt official and traitor is bad, but they can really do things when they collect money, this is much better than those who don't collect money but don't do things!
