Chapter 280: Semicolon
The few girls who lived in Liu's mansion, except for Liu Fangrui, who had an awkward quarrel with her father in the first few days, lived a much happier life than Dengzhou.
After all, Hangzhou is one of the most prosperous places in the world, and these people were all depressed for half a year in Yantai Mountain in Dengzhou, so this comparison naturally feels the benefits of Hangzhou. However, Jiang Feng does not live in Liu's Mansion, what he is doing outside, basically the female dependents don't know.
After the conflict that night, the "sixth uncle" who led Deng Longwang's team that night beat Deng Gongzi mercilessly in front of Jiang Feng, saying that he had offended Lord Jiang and ruined the harmony of the brothers on the sea.
The other party showed such a posture, Jiang Feng was not good at attacking, after all, it was the conflict between the two sides in the Qinglou, and the other party also lost a life here, and now the power of Deng Fang on the sea is indeed huge, there is no need to conflict for such a thing, but Jiang Feng's words did not say death, but he just followed the sixth uncle and dropped a sentence, Jiang Mou is in Hangzhou City these days, and the Deng family needs to take care of it.
After Deng Fang of Shuangyu knew about this matter, he used to send eighty percent of the fleet on hand to trade, leaving twenty percent of the ships and manpower to defend Shuangyu, after getting this news, all the ships that returned to Shuangyu were not allowed to load and leave the port, and they were all strictly guarded on Liuheng Island, Deng Fang was regarded as a first-class tycoon on the sea, and naturally knew more secret things, the Lin family in Laizhou, Shandong was annexed, and the Dong family in Dengzhou was destroyed, everything is to show Jiang Feng's ruthlessness, and Jiang Feng's killing of the Japanese outside Hangzhou, which shows his bravery.
There is no big mistake in being careful, Deng Fang just had this idea, and first sent people to the land to scold his son and the people in charge of the Deng family's manor, and told them not to have any thoughts of revenge, and to be careful, as soon as there is anything wrong, they will go to sea by boat immediately.
At sea, Deng Fang felt that with his thousands of ships and tens of thousands of subordinates, although Jiang Feng also had ships and cannons, if he was surrounded by these ships, he was afraid that he would also be drowned, and at sea, Deng Fang was not afraid.
However, what they were careful about did not happen, Jiang Feng actually let it go so lightly, and just said:
"I want to open a restaurant in Hangzhou City in the future, and I will come to support more when the time comes."
The enjoyment and prosperity of Songjiang in Suzhou and Hangzhou are far better than those of Jingshi, but Jingshi is the capital of the Ming Dynasty after all, and everyone naturally regards Jingshi's things as the best in their hearts.
At the beginning of the selection of the grade of the restaurant and the twelfth floor, it was just a spread in the vicinity of Jingshi and the nearby Zhili Shanxi, and slowly the world knew about this kind of move, and restaurants around the country began to imitate it, but most of them were the public discussions of the guild of peers, compared to the background of the imperial dining room and many officials in the Jingshi, the authority was much worse, and it was quite unjustifiable.
In addition, everyone who went to Beijing in Hangzhou and ate on the twelfth floor always praised loudly after coming back, saying that it was so delicious and that the environment was not available in Hangzhou. Over time, the people of Hangzhou also yearn for the twelfth floor of Jingshi, but with this kind of traffic conditions at this time, most people have never left the city where they are located in their lives, let alone go to Jingshi.
Although only Jiang Feng's guards and Deng Fang's men confronted each other that night, the news spread all over the streets and alleys of Hangzhou Fucheng the next morning, and Chu Xiang, the owner of Chulou opposite Qingfeng Pavilion, was even more frightened, and wanted to come to the door to make amends, but he didn't know who to find.
At this moment, Qingfeng Pavilion has become a forbidden place that cannot be touched, but this matter was quickly covered up by another Xihan matter, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, one end is Jingshi, the other end is Hangzhou, and the flow of news between Beijing and Hangzhou is also quite fast.
The officials, scholars, and wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as they are not in a special hurry, take the official boat to go through the canal, which is safe and convenient. The circulation of the news was also transmitted by ship, and the news began to spread from the dock, saying that the twelfth floor of the Beijing Division was going to open a branch in Hangzhou.
This matter is much more exciting than the confrontation between the officers and soldiers and Deng Longwang's thugs, and finally Deng Longwang's men left in embarrassment, after all, everyone's life is still entertainment-oriented, and the wind and snow will always attract people in peacetime more than killing.
The news brought by the boatmen was then confirmed by the personnel of the Huifeng Building of the Beijing Division, because the people sent by the Huifeng Tower came to Hangzhou together with the envoys of the Jinyi Guard, and at this time some people remembered that the Huifeng Building of the Beijing Division and the current Jinyi Wei were all commanding Lu Bing's shares in it. Jiang Feng's decision to open a restaurant in Hangzhou would have been regarded as a non-serious business, but the third-grade military attache of the imperial court was in charge of a cheap business, and if this was put on someone else, I am afraid that he would be impeached by the imperial history immediately.
But Jiang Feng's move made Lu Bing and Huang Jin breathe a sigh of relief, they may not have the courage to make such a shocking case in Nanjing, so after receiving Jiang Feng's letter, Lu Bing's heart was relaxed, and he felt that opening a store in a prosperous place like Hangzhou would definitely make money, so he sent his subordinates to support the scene.
On weekdays, officials from all walks of life in Hangzhou, even if they wanted to talk to Lord Lu Binglu, there was no way, and no one thought that Lord Lu actually sent a messenger over, which was amazing, and the guys sent by Huifeng Lou also trembled, and they were extremely majestic for a while.
Jiang Feng's marketing methods, has been learned by the world, the only thing that Huifeng Lou can dominate is their dishes, in modern times, light Cantonese cuisine and hot Sichuan cuisine dominate the Chinese catering market, Huifeng Lou's dishes are also light, there are a few good dishes are strong taste, unique.
At this time, the food style of Hangzhou is not as sweet as that of later generations, the price of sugar is not the price of cabbage later, only the middle and upper families can enjoy sweets, Huifeng Lou This kind of non-sweet dishes are also quite marketable, there are many literati in Hangzhou, and they often engage in some activities such as parties.
The representative of Huifeng Lou directly found the door, and the banquet that should undertake these activities, the price is absolutely fair and just, more precisely, it is very low, as for these rich businessmen, but I don't know where some rumors came from, saying that when those relatives visited the door some time ago, they vaguely heard that this industry had such and such a connection with the political envoy Liu Shunhua, and the more conclusive news was said by Liu Fangrui himself.
The reputation of the twelfth floor of the Jingshi has long been spread all over the world, coupled with Lu Bing's shares and Liu Shunhua's relationship, even if such a shop does not sell any food, there are a large number of people who willingly send silver over, not to mention the general reaction of those literati and scholars who have eaten these dishes, the taste is indeed extraordinary.
The ground in Hangzhou is different from that of Beijing, and most of the fashion in Beijing is coaxed by officials and nobles, because Jingshi is the main body of the upper echelons of society, but it is different in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Most of the literati in Jiangnan have a solid family, they are the main consumers of these places, coupled with their cultural skills, these things are often gradually expanded in their chanting and writing, until they become popular affairs, and after they become popular affairs, weaving merchants, smugglers on the sea, and salt merchants of all sizes, and use money to pursue them, so that he becomes a craze. Then the civilians began to pursue.
In just ten days, Hangzhou is now rumored to be in the streets and alleys of Huifeng Building, and there are a lot of local famous stores, and it is naturally unwilling to see foreign shops robbing business, although they also know that Huifeng Lou's backstage is amazingly tough, but after all, they are unwilling, but when they want to make any bad ideas, they find that their business is also a lot better, which is a sudden realization, it turns out that Huifeng Lou's publicity is actually a win-win situation.
Zhejiang people are good at doing business is not in modern times, that is a tradition that has existed since ancient times, looking at Huifeng Lou there continuous propaganda, these people are also learning to figure out, launch their own means, now the more advantageous is those more influential poetry societies, and similar literati organizations. These people now don't want their money at all when they come to a party.
As long as you say a few words of praise after eating, it is good to just stuff it with white flowers and silver later, as long as you write poems praising the dishes and delicious food. However, as far as Hui Fenglou is concerned, his methods may not be as fancy as those of the latecomers, but he is better in the first place, no matter how the people behind follow, they can only change with their changes.
The people sent by Huifeng Lou to Hangzhou Mansion have so many means, all of them are Jiang Feng, who lives in Dongfeng Inn, is strategizing there, and now things have come to such a point, Liu Fangrui and Su Guanyue, Su Guanxue all know about this matter, and Jiang Feng has tried his best to hide from a few relatives who violate the laws of the imperial court.
So when these people knew that Jiang Feng was trying his best to open a store, they remembered Jiang Feng's actions in Dengzhou, and they all felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts, and the resentment that Jiang Feng didn't accompany them in Hangzhou disappeared, but Jiang Feng was inexplicable, thinking about why Liu Fangrui suddenly became gentle.
