Volume 3 Xuanwumen Chapter 73 Encountering Someone to Find Fault Again?
The group talked and laughed and walked out of the Qin Palace.
Li Mingyu opened his mouth and asked them, "I first came to Chang'an, and I am not familiar with the place, which restaurant should we go to to celebrate?" ”
The eldest grandson replied with a smile, "Wine shops, restaurants, everywhere." However, when it comes to elegant environment, places with fine wines, East Market is second to none. ”
Hou Jie followed and said, "Yes, Dongshi is the most prosperous place in the entire Chang'an, with treasures in all directions and everything. The list of good food and wine is endless. If the eldest brother is full of wine and food and wants to play, hehe, not far from Dongshi, it is Pingkangfang. ”
Li Mingyu was stunned for a moment, and said curiously, "Pingkangfang? Where? ”
Hou Jie was stunned for a moment, and then the thief smiled and said, "I forgot that the eldest brother first arrived in Chang'an, it's not clear." I haven't been in this Pingkang Fang. But I heard that inside, the beauty is like a cloud, and the warbler Yanyan is so uncomfortable. Chasing joy and having fun, appreciating dances and listening to music, and you can also have a long talk with the Qing people, which is really a rare wonder. After that, there was a look of yearning in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to immediately encourage Li Mingyu to take him to see it.
"Ahem, this, not for the time being." Li Mingyu coughed twice in embarrassment, he saw Hou Jie's expression, coupled with his explanation, where would he not understand, it turned out that this Pingkangfang was the "red light district" of Datang. This Hou Jie is a big ghost, and he is only in his teens, but he never forgets to go to Pingkangfang to be happy, and he is too precocious.
Li Mingyu didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he turned his head and asked everyone, "Let's go to Dongshi, how far is it?" ”
Cheng Chumo said, "After this street crossing, turn right." But big brother, this East Market is mostly a place for dignitaries and wealthy families, and it is not cheap to eat a meal of wine and food. If you want me to see, there are so many of us, let's go to West City. I often go to the West Market, and there is an old shop where the mutton is very authentic, why don't you take my eldest brother to try it? ”
Li Mingyu invited his younger brothers to dinner for the first time, but he was willing to weaken his reputation. He secretly touched the heavy silver bag in his arms, which contained the monthly example sent by Wang De yesterday, fifty brand-new Kaiyuan Tongbao, full of five dollars, and suddenly felt full of confidence. Mingyu said angrily, "Let's go, let's go to Dongshi!" Find the best restaurant! Today, everyone is not drunk and has no home! ”
When a group of teenage and half-year-olds heard this, they all cheered and became even more excited.
After all, their family at this time only belonged to the middle eunuchs, and they were more than enough than the top. Although he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the King of Qin also rewarded him from time to time, his fathers were not very powerful, and he had a large family to live. No matter how favored they are, they can't give them many monthly cases. Therefore, although they are also considered to be official eunuchs, they have never been to this high-end restaurant in the East Market when they are so big.
In Chang'an East City, shops are adjacent, businessmen gather, bookstores, pen shops, wine shops and restaurants, silk and bamboo musical instruments, silk and satin, treasures and antiques, dazzling, countless.
Most of the pedestrians are richly dressed, there are rich sons who are followed by small scholars, there are wealthy ladies with maids in carriages, there are rich businessmen with big bellies and rich fortunes, and there are scholars in green shirts, which is a prosperous scene.
Walking not far, I chose a restaurant with the most guests and the most popular flow, with a three-storey door face, extremely magnificent, hanging a signboard with gold characters on a black background, and the book "Dewei Zhai".
Li Mingyu took the lead, raised his feet and walked in, and the guy from the restaurant hurriedly came out to greet him, and smiled at everyone, "A few distinguished guests, please come inside."
Li Mingyu said, "Our brothers are going to meet here today and find me a spacious private room." ”
The guy smiled with a smile on his face, "This little Langjun, I'm really sorry, the private room is full today." However, there are still a few empty seats on the second floor, facing the street by the window, and the scenery is chic, what do you think? ”
Mingyu nodded and said, "It's okay, it's good to take a look at the prosperous scenery of the East Market." ”
The guy welcomed them up to the second floor, chose a place by the window and sat down, and while wiping the table, the guy asked, "I wonder what you little Langjun like to eat?" Our Dewei Zhai is counted in the whole Chang'an, and there are all kinds of delicious food. ”
Li Mingyu listened to the guy's nonsense, and said in his heart, even if you were a dumpling more than a thousand years ago, you dare to mention food to me? Youxin laughed at him and asked, "It's the first time we've come, and I'll listen to some of your store's best dishes." ”
The guy smiled and introduced very smoothly, "If you want to say that we know Wei Zhai, there are really a lot of specialty dishes, but the most popular among customers are the golden milk crisp, crystal cake, longevity porridge, expensive pink, royal yellow rice, jade dew ball, cherry Biluo, cold Hu Tu ....."
Li Mingyu had never heard a long list of things that this guy casually reported, and he didn't know what the method was and what kind of ingredients were made of the dishes, so he was stunned on the spot. Could it be that this guy from the heart has also crossed over? Speaking of the origin of cross talk? This is the Datang version of "reporting the name of the dish".
In the end, he had to wave his hand and say, "That's it, you look at it, pick up all the good dishes in your store, serve a portion, and then bring me some good wine." ”
"Okay!" The two eyes of the guy smiled together, don't look at this group of teenagers, although they are not big, but they are gorgeously dressed and behaved extraordinary, they must be the sons of wealthy families, I have to serve well, and I can't say that they can give me more money.
After a while, the dishes were served, and a table was full. Mingyu tasted everything, this guy really didn't brag, it really tasted good. I can't help but sigh in my heart, I still underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, even if the woks were not invented in the Tang Dynasty, but after the continuous excavation and pondering of the working people, they can still make delicious food that is not much inferior.
At present, a group of half-grown children are salivating, and a group of people are working together, gobbling up large chunks.
A strong fragrance came to the nose, it turned out that the guy was smiling and holding a jar of wine, the guy opened the lid and introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best wine we have to taste Zhai, Shi Frozen Spring." Please try it. ”
The wine is fragrant, rich and fragrant, the wine is tender and yellow, take a sip, the entrance is soft, sweet and slightly sweet, Mingyu nodded slightly, and said approvingly, "Yes, it's a good wine, everyone can taste it." ”
The Cheng brothers completely inherited their father's hobby, and they were good at drinking. On weekdays, the discipline at home is very strict, and they are not allowed to drink, but at this time, they don't care about it, the wine is dry, and they feel that they don't feel enjoyable after drinking a few glasses, Cheng Chuliang shouted, "Change the big bowl!" ”
When he was in the Tiger Prison Pass, the war was imminent, and drinking alcohol was forbidden in the army. Mingyu knew from chatting with Cheng Yanjin on weekdays that Lao Cheng was not in the war, but he had no wine or joy, and he must drink all his life every day. What he is most proud of is not the martial arts of the family, nor is it the good luck that a ringing horse leader from a broken general can marry the noble daughter of the Qinghe Cui clan with five surnames and seven wangs as a continuation of the envy of others, but the hundreds of jars of various wines collected at home, often boasting to Li Mingyu, when he returns victoriously, he will definitely take it out and invite him to taste it, and feast on it.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no "distillation method" for liquor, and the degree of liquor was generally low. The two large jars of wine bottomed out in an instant, a group of teenagers drank and licked their mouths and wiped their tongues, Li Mingyu saw that this Lao Cheng's wine had not yet been drunk, and he was going to be drunk back by his two sons first. Hurriedly instructed the guy to continue serving.
The chips are staggered, the wine is half-full, and everyone takes turns to toast, Mingyu does not refuse to come, and the wine is dry. In his previous life, he was famous for his heavy drinking, and it was okay to drink one or two catties of ordinary liquor, although the degree of this Tang Dynasty wine was low, but the stamina was not small, coupled with everyone's constant persuasion, Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little drunk.
Under the slight alcohol, the brain will be in a state of mild excitement, and under the instigation of Cheng Chumo, Mingyu is also a little speechless, and tells the story of what happened at the Chang'an City Gate yesterday. After finishing speaking, they were still not idle, and Mingyu told a thing or two about his deeds when he was in the Tiger Prison.
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the martial arts were extremely prosperous, and a group of half-grown children were the age of longing for heroes, yearning for the battlefield of the golden iron horse in the mouth of the elders, and the ranger high-roller who was happy to enmity in the novel. Hearing this, a group of teenagers were enthusiastic and excited, and they were amazed. I only feel that today's big brother is really the right person, not only has his personal strength outstanding, he has punished the gentleman, but also has a lot of good plans, and he has also had the feat of capturing Dou Jiande alive. The five-body body that was immediately admired threw himself to the ground, and he was shocked by Mingyu.
They are all young people, the most noisy, they are shouting here, and they are too excited, which naturally attracts the dissatisfaction of others.
At this time, from the third floor of the private room "pedal" down a person, this person is not very old, but also drank a lot of wine, the face is crimson, the steps are staggering, just down the second floor, shouting like a duck shouting, "Fuck! Which one of them is not opening his eyes and shouting below, disturbing the wine of a certain family! Believe it or not, he can throw you off this stairs with the touch of a finger! ”
