Chapter 1258: In the Restaurant
As they said before, for Mu Changzuo's arrival, the city has indeed prepared exquisite wine and food, of course, in fact, this is indeed against Zhang Fan's wishes, after all, the situation in Yongning Mansion is now stable, and the problems of the common people are not serious, but at this time, this kind of thing should not be done.
In fact, this kind of thing is actually very common, no matter where the war is fought, let alone here now, it is like this, it is not tragic at all, but even if it is a tragic place, after this kind of war is over, there will still be this kind of singing and dancing scene, even when the war is not over, it will be like this.
It seems that the common people have become accustomed to this kind of thing, even if it is a little excessive, but as long as they can make it up, people will try their best to enjoy it, especially for those officials of the imperial court, especially so.
Zhang Fan is not pretending to be honest, after all, he has been a big official in the capital for so many years, enjoying the brocade clothes and jade food, this kind of thing will never be less, and, to tell the truth badly, Zhang Fan has also begun to feel that he is inseparable from this kind of life, but he has not yet reached the point where once he leaves, this kind of life can no longer live, replaced by the previous way, Zhang Fan is not unable to live, in comparison, in short, Zhang Fan is the kind of person who will act according to reality, and if the reality situation can allow, it would be the best; But if the reality doesn't allow it, then lower your standards.
In short, Zhang Fan is such a person who is at ease with what he encounters, and if the situation is within his control, Zhang Fan will not only be like this, but also be able to lead by example and make others like him.
However, there will always be exceptions, for example, in today's situation, Mu Changzuo has arrived, in terms of identity and status, it is difficult to compare Zhang Fan and Mu Changzuo, and now, even if it is only temporary, Mu Changzuo is now in Yongning Mansion, so Zhang Fan also needs to do his best to be a landlord.
And in this way, this can't be too shabby, especially now, Mu Changzuo's arrival this time, without knowing what he meant, and in this situation where it seems to be bad, this hospitality will definitely not be shabby, and even, even if Zhang Fan has done too much and aroused public anger, but this step must be done, otherwise, the problem will really be a little serious.
Now, Mu Changzuo has arrived, Zhang Fan used the power in his hands to find out the largest restaurant in Yongning Mansion, and now the shopkeeper who is nesting at home, not only that, but even found a lot of people to help, so that the restaurant that should have been open for a month was reopened, not only that, but also cleaned it up with great care.
However, although this hotel is open, but there are no guests at all, speaking of which, at this time, where will anyone go out to the restaurant, even, even if someone wants to, and now in Yongning Mansion, in addition to those big families, there are few rich people at all, even if there is silver, it is also to the yamen to apply for something, so where is there anyone who has the time to go to the restaurant.
Moreover, on the other hand, it can be said that even if there are people with money in Yongning City, even if they all want to go to the restaurant, in fact, there are no materials in these restaurants today that can make a table of good dishes.
And Zhang Fan and them, for the arrival of Mu Changzuo this time, it actually took a lot of effort, rice and grain and the like are easy to say, after all, there is no shortage of these things in Yongning Mansion today, but other things are difficult to find, good wine is easy to find, even if it is robbed by those people, but after all, it is a few days, many things are not found by those people, which family will leave a few jars of good wine, it is also a normal thing, for Zhang Fan, this is not a problem.
However, the rest, that is, those big fish and meat, or delicacies from the mountains and seas, are not easy to find.
Maybe those people can't find any good wine, after all, good wine is well hidden, but those meats are not, no matter how delicacies from the mountains and seas, it is impossible to hide them, and those people are not illiterate people, maybe they will not kill people and set fires, but it is still very normal to eat and drink a meal.
Therefore, today's Yongning Mansion can be said to be extremely lacking in this regard, even if there is no shortage of food and drink, but if you want to have a good meal, there are still very problems.
And obviously, if you greet Mu Changzuo, you must not do this, therefore, Zhang Fan can be said to have really put a lot of effort into it this time, he asked people to bring a lot of good things from the surrounding counties, just to greet Mu Changzuo, although it is just for such a person, but Zhang Fan doesn't think there is anything in this, compared to these, the things that really have to do with Mu Changzuo are what Zhang Fan cares about the most.
But these, in the final analysis, are just trivial matters, what really makes Zhang Fan care is Mu Changzuo himself, Mu Changzuo came this time, what is it for, whether it is good intentions or malice, I don't understand, I have to figure it all out, and now, it is time to come to this critical time.
came to the restaurant and sat down, except for such a table, there were no other guests at all, and the shopkeeper of the hotel was also trembling about this, just imagine, he was the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in Yongning Mansion, and the people in the officialdom, naturally there was a lot to do, and he was able to know some news, when he was pulled out of the house, he tried his best to inquire about some things, after learning the identity of Zhang Fan, the identity of Mu Changzuo who was about to come, how could he not be afraid.
In short, now he is so trembling and greeting, but when he says hello, it is actually only at the beginning, and I don't know if he is too nervous, and he can't stand this atmosphere or some other reason, in short, after saying hello respectfully, he quickly ran away, leaving the stall to others to greet him.
And the people who greeted them, it doesn't matter, they are not the original little two in this restaurant, those people don't know where to hide for a long time, these people were arranged by Zhang Fan, although Zhang Fan didn't mean anything else by doing this, but there was also a bit of an idea just in case.
And these people, but they have all seen the big scene, they have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, not to mention, now it is not to let them ask anyone, but just let them serve the plate, pour wine or other sundries, it can be described as very relaxed, if there is any shortcoming, there is only one point, that is, these people are all tense faces, although the face is respectful, but it makes people understand that it is not from his original intention, but from a request.
In short, that's all there is to it.
However, this kind of arrangement, others may not feel anything, and they may not even see anything unusual, but Mu Changzuo is not that kind of stupid person, he greeted Zhang Fan and Feng Bao all the way, and after coming to this restaurant, he immediately saw the problem.
Except for the shopkeeper who was about to faint when he understood that he was nervous, the other people in this restaurant, Mu Changzuo could see it clearly, it was absolutely impossible for him to be wrong about these people, it was absolutely impossible for them to be the kind of ordinary children and people who ran the hall, although they were wearing clothes, they were also very quick to do it, just like that, but as long as they looked at it a little, they could see the problems inside, and the most obvious thing was the expressions of these people.
The people who accompany Zhang Fan, Liu Xian, and Feng Bao are naturally indispensable, and Mao Zhengqing, as the prefect of Yongning Mansion, no matter what the identity of the people at this table is, but he is also indispensable.
But apart from these people, there is no other person, originally, Ding Youyang also thought about it, maybe he is not a person in the officialdom, but after all, he is Mu Changzuo's father-in-law, since this is the case, he came here to accompany him, there is nothing that should not be.
But now, Ding Youyang didn't come, and there were only five people at the big table that could have sat more than a dozen people.
Although Zhang Fan didn't know the details, he also saw some just now, it was indeed Mu Changzuo's person, who went to Ding Youyang to say something, what he said specifically, Zhang Fan didn't know, and he didn't care too much, but he thought it was to ask Ding Youyang not to get involved in this matter anymore.
These five people just sat down, and Mu Changzuo spoke to Zhang Fan: "Lord Zhang, I have been to this restaurant before, and the shopkeeper is not wrong, but I have never seen these little two and running halls, but I have never seen them, but to speak, I have also been here for nearly a year, maybe the shopkeeper here has changed people, but, I look at these people, all expressionless, although with respect, but it makes people shudder, it seems that these people are not just practicing the family, but also the kind that has opened meat, a restaurant, But it's not easy to find so many people like this,"
Mu Changzuo's words were actually very clear, he made it clear that he was saying that the people here were all arranged by Zhang Fan, as for Zhang Fan's purpose, Mu Changzuo didn't say it, but it didn't make people feel good.
And Zhang Fan, in the face of Mu Changzuo's words, laughed, he had long expected that Mu Changzuo would say these words,
