Chapter 284: The Wind of History (1)

Huifeng Lou opened in Hangzhou Branch, from the time of preparation to the opening, there are not too many new ideas than in the time of the Beijing Division, the catering industry of the Beijing Division has now become a climate, if it was a fortune in the past, the opening of the restaurant is also decent, if it is a big hair, it is still necessary to find in the casino, the green building, the illegal salt, smuggling, but Jiang Feng in the Beijing Division for more than a year, completely subverted everyone's opinion, the restaurant business also has a lot of profits, as long as you know how to dig the natural gold ten thousand taels.

Therefore, when Jiang Feng was going to open a semicolon in Hangzhou, more than 20 restaurants in Beijing sent capable shopkeepers to congratulate him, although it was called Hexi, in fact, they all wanted to see what kind of new tricks this semicolon looked like, and after going back, they would follow the cat and the tiger.

Everyone was quite disappointed, although there was such a desire to catch the canvas as a curry, and there was no new means to hire a woman from the Qinglou to promote the restaurant. Of course, they would not have thought that Jiang Feng took over the restaurant at that time, and he was just a street patrol school in the Beijing Division, with no money and no power. The restaurant is not in a particularly busy street, and there is no need for some extraordinary means, where there will be any business.

But now in Hangzhou, Liu Shunhua, the highest civil affairs governor of Zhejiang Province, is rumored to have such and such a relationship with Huifenglou, and the Jinyi Guard is in command, and the emperor's most favored minister Lu Bing sent his own representatives, and these two proofs of identity are enough.

With these two relationships, the official entertainment of Hangzhou Mansion and even the government at all levels in Zhejiang Province, and the private entertainment of those wealthy businessmen, lest it not be opened in this Huifeng Building, as for the so-called headache of the white strip problem, it is not a problem at all, and it is impossible to settle the bill in time or even in arrears, so do you want to be an official or do business in the future.

Now the Hangzhou branch of Huifeng Building, although it has not opened, all the seats have been sold from the opening day to five months later.

There are even those flower boats on the lake in the surrounding Qinglou gambling houses, except for Chu Xiang, who is greedy for this place in Qingfeng Pavilion, everyone else feels the benefits of this Huifeng Building, there is such a great reputation, luxurious decoration, and now it is a good place for a lot of passengers.

It has brought a large number of passengers compared to usual, and after these passengers finish eating, they always have to go for a pastime, or gamble twice, or visit the green building, take a flower boat, and even the restaurants and restaurants around the same food and beverage are also following a lot of profits.

In any case, Huifeng Lou has limited seats, and the guests who can't eat will eventually have to eat in other restaurants, so the business has actually improved.

Moreover, the yamen of Hangzhou Mansion felt that the public security in the city was not good recently, and sent a large number of officials and soldiers to sweep around Hangzhou Mansion, and this behavior was strongly supported by the enlightened gentry Deng family, of course, no one went to check the Huifeng Tower in the West Lake, which was the most public security place.

Other places are all investigated chickens and dogs, but the surrounding businesses of Huifeng Lou are all safe and sound, and they have earned a lot of benefits, and now, the shopkeeper sent by Huifeng Lou to Hangzhou is also elected by everyone as the leader of the Chamber of Commerce.

Hangzhou and Suzhou are the commercial centers of the south of the Yangtze River, and Jingshi is the commercial center of the north of the Yangtze River.

After the twelfth floor of the Beijing Division and the restaurant began to flourish, the banquet of the officials of the Beijing Division has been accustomed to the solution in these large restaurants, and many people also put the pastime of getting up in the morning in the restaurant, drinking some morning tea, talking about trivial matters, and going out to have fun until noon, which is already the most frequent way of life for the gentlemen.

Baoding, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Luoyang, these big cities, have become popular, but Jiangnan and Jiangbei have always been living habits and drinking consumption methods are very different, although there are also businessmen who want to take these things back to try, but after all, there are no early means

The rich people in Jiangnan are still accustomed to entertaining guests with their own chefs at home, and the opening of Huifeng House has opened the eyes of these businessmen, letting them know that such a business in a restaurant is actually such a profit, and then, and then it will be described by the idiom of mushrooms after the rain.

In fact, the reason why the restaurant is so prosperous now is not only those fresh food, but also the restaurant has become a modern business club similar to something, of course, some functions are actually undertaken by the Qinglou in the past, but the Qinglou still has moral problems after all.

Now the commercial economy of the Ming Dynasty has been quite developed, and people's living standards have improved, so they are naturally not satisfied with always having fun in the Qinglou, and also need some high-grade and tasteful communication places.

Having said so much above, they are all additional functions, and naturally the high-end restaurants in the world are still mainly eating, and the high-end food materials consumed are also quite a lot.

The current trend of the Ming Dynasty is quite different from our modern times, modern pay attention to a fresh, the so-called fresh seafood, most of them are the practice of Cantonese dishes, the best feast pays attention to eating an abalone lobster and the like, this is the grade, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the real fresh seafood can only be eaten along the coast.

In the inland cities, they eat the kind of dried goods that are sun-dried, and although these things are good to eat, they are normal.

When Jiang Feng was in Beijing, although seafood was his means, the real later Bao Fatzi's signboards were those mountain delicacies, such as bear paws and deer tendons, as well as mushrooms such as matsutake mushrooms, although these things were also produced in Beizhili, but the real top grades were in the Northeast and Changbai Mountain.

At this time, this is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are controlled by the Jurchens and Koreans, these things are not as good as the fish, shrimp and seafood that can be produced off the coast of the Ming Dynasty, but belong to the imported goods, this value is a little different, and things like bear paws and deer tendons, after processing, after all, keep the original taste more.

Therefore, even in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the high-end restaurants that have risen one after another are also good things to eat the mountain delicacies of the Northeast, which is no exception, just like the current Northwest Restaurant is also about a raw seafood, similar in nature.

If a small factor enters a fixed system, it may cause a huge change, the so-called butterfly flickers in one place, and the hurricane in another.

After Jiang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing beyond the technology and invention of this era, to put it bluntly, in addition to ideas and ideas, there was no essential difference between him and the people of this era, Jiang Feng also had such thoughts, afraid that because of his own great turmoil in history, if it was a good thing, if it caused a catastrophe that he could not control, it was bad, man-made disasters could still be dealt with, but natural disasters were helpless.

However, Jiang Feng didn't know that in fact, the wind of history was already blowing, but it was not in the Ming Dynasty, but in Heilongjiang in the northeast or in the place called Nuergandusi.

The Jurchens, especially the mature Jurchens, are different from the Jin Kingdom back then, the Jin Kingdom is the Jurchens engaged in fishing and hunting, and the Bohai people are engaged in farming, but now the Jurchens have an important source of income is trade, they take from the wild Jurchens, that is, in the Tunguska tribe further north to buy animal skins, all kinds of precious medicinal materials and all kinds of northern specialties, such as bear paws, deer tendons and so on.

Then they traded with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty in exchange for grain and other necessities, and then took these things to continue trading with the wild Jurchens, and even a large part of the Korean trade was also transits through the places controlled by the Jurchens, and the mature Jurchen tribe acted as intermediaries to earn the difference.

Of course, fishing and hunting were also their main way of making a living, but later this kind of commercial trade became larger and larger, and the formation of the city of Hetuara was a bazaar formed because of commerce, and more and more people lived there, and then formed a large-scale city.

Later, when the old slave Nuer Hachi hated the Ming Dynasty, there were many causes, but there was a very important reason that the people of the Ming Dynasty discovered another trade route, so that an important part of the Jurchens' income was lost, and the Jurchens at that time were already quite dependent on this income.

The above is history, and now Jiang Feng has flashed his wings as a butterfly, and the wind has begun to blow.

Six hundred years later, there was a great discovery in Heilongjiang Province that shook the archaeological world, a book was excavated at the site of a Ming Dynasty manor in Qiqihar City, and the record of reading the book was combined with the political and geographical environment at that time, and the anonymous author of this book should be a Jurchen slave who knew Chinese.

This important discovery provides a certain explanation for the investigation of the colonial-tinged reclamation that suddenly appeared during the Jiajing period, and provides a factual argument for the investigation of the Jurchens, an ancient people who suddenly disappeared into the long river of history, as a certain philosopher said, money is the dirtiest thing.

We may be helpful to copy some of the contents of the book below, of course, in the translated Chinese version:

"Abba came back to tell us that the brother outside the mountain (here specifically the mature girl) told us that the price of black bears and sika deer has risen again, and my brother and I are also very happy, and this winter may be better......"

"Now the adults in the village have gone up to the mountains to hunt, and the neighbor's brother said that the mushrooms and wild beasts in the mountains can be sold in the mountains for a very high price, and now they are directly trading with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and now those merchants are camping not far from the village......

"Those Han people, who are usually peaceful, suddenly became demons, they took weapons, killed all those who resisted, occupied the land where we have grown for generations, occupied the mountains as their hunting grounds, and the disobedient became corpses, and the obedient became slaves......"
