Chapter 101: Fire Guns and Gourmet Grades

Although most of Jiang Feng's history was obtained from Yunzhongyue, and there was almost never a mention of firearms among them, but even then Jiang Feng knew that the meaning of 'fire gun' meant musket, short musket and long musket, and of course Jiang Feng did not know the difference between arquebus and flintlock spear.

But the one Zhang Liang brought, after untying the burden, was completely a cylinder, with a slight bulge in the middle of the cylinder and a round hole on it.

"This is the firebolt?"

Jiang Feng stood up and stroked the surface of the round pipe, it was actually made of metal, but the surface was very rough, tried to get up, but found that he still needed to work harder, there was actually a weight of more than 20 catties, nearly three feet long, in Jiang Feng's memory of modern firearms, the only thing that could be linked was the bazooka and the recoilless gun.

Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Feng's face full of doubts, and hurriedly explained:

"Master, this is the firecracker, my senior brother has a lot of ways there, and the eunuch in charge of the firearm drank a meal, and spent two taels of silver to get this, there will definitely be no fake, listen to the eunuch in charge, this thing is filled with gunpowder, pressed with gravel, can be shot out of nearly fifty steps, touch the skin and flesh."

Rubbing his forehead slightly, Jiang Feng also understood Zhang Liang's words, the feeling of this thing may not kill people when it is hit, that is, there are some external injuries, what is the use of this when fighting, Jiang Feng also saw that the warriors at this time opened their bows and arrows, basically a hundred meters away.

And according to the rare impression in his mind, the crossbow arrow can also shoot farther and have more power, what is the effect of this firearm, Jiang Feng suddenly thought that he came to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being familiar with the matter of cooking, and then there are some small advantages in fists and feet.

But these advantages are just compared with ordinary people, and it may not be useful at all when encountering a real strong opponent, but at this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he asked Zhang Liangdao:

"Have you been to that money shop on West Street?"

Zhang Liang was stunned there for a moment, and didn't come back to his senses, but Zhao Xiucai opened his mouth on the side and said:

"The owner, how many times has Xiao Zhang Ye been there with me to deposit silver, has he been there?"

"Apprentice, have you seen the two short firearms in the courtyard?"

Zhang Liang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively, Jiang Feng stood up and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder and said:

"Just go and ask them where they got the firecrackers, in addition to the short ones there should be long firearms, go and inquire, if you can get in touch, it doesn't matter if you spend some silver?"

Zhang Mingliang, who was full of questions, nodded, and then walked out, Jiang Feng patted the table lightly, and then laughed, Zhao Xiucai on the side looked at Jiang Feng, and didn't know why his owner was so happy.

Facts have proved that no matter what kind of things come to different time and space environments, there will always be all kinds of variations, just like the morning tea that was quite common in modern times, after Jiang Feng popularized it, it has become an important way for wealthy businessmen in Beijing to discuss business and communicate with each other.

And casually drink porridge, eat snacks, etc., in half a month, there is already a set of inexplicable rules, such as the two sides sit down, the first cup of tea is always poured by a person with a higher status, and the other party stands up and drinks, this is called appreciating tea, as well as the rules of drinking porridge, the rules of dim sum, and so on.

Jiang Feng just laughed after seeing it, anyway, he also made money, there are these rules, anyway, when he had breakfast, it was drinking tea, eating snacks, and there was still porridge over there, and when the interest came, he had to taste a more delicate dried ham or something, and he was comfortable.

But when Chen Bei took out the charter of the 'Hanmeng Quanxi' drawn up by the Shangshan supervisor and several retired civil officials, his eyes were still wide-eyed.

is also the same as some modern talent shows, to make a audition, this audition first collects money once, enters the second round and collects silver again, and then collects it layer by layer. When the time comes, you can also vote on a post, if you think the food in that store is delicious, spend money to buy a post, and if you have money, you can sell as much as you can as support.

If you continue to do it again and again, how can you not get rich, but as soon as Chen Bei's plan comes out, he will be dumbfounded.

The bigwigs in the court did not have any concept of audition at all, and the chief eunuch Chen Gou'er of Shangshan Jian and several civil officials who lived at home discussed twelve restaurants, of course, Mel He Lou and Hui Feng Lou were still among them, and these twelve restaurants held this Han and Mongolian cooking competition in Mellow and Mongol on the twentieth day of the lunar month.

Incidentally, the name of the Hanmeng Banquet has also been changed to 'Loyal Monarch Newspaper Tomorrow's First Food Meeting', which reflects the concept of conforming to mainstream propaganda everywhere.

Each of the twelve restaurants is an entrance fee of five hundred taels, Jiang Feng originally thought that if he only competed with these few, although the difficulty was much smaller, but the silver that was added layer by layer could not be earned, he never thought that the other party was also thinking about it, and the Shangshan supervisor used white copper to create a lot of small bronze medals, which said that the food level seven, the food level six, in order, and in just ten days, he also called a few diners who were famous for tasting food to write a booklet, Only those who can enter the restaurant in this booklet will be able to receive a gastronomic brand.

With the evaluation of these diners, the highest level of the brand that can be obtained is only a food level 4, when you go to the Shang Food Supervisor to get the brand, the seventh level of food needs 50 taels of silver, the sixth level of food needs 70 taels of silver, and the fourth level of food needs 300 taels, and you can take the brand with silver.

Everything is strictly in accordance with the booklet called "Food Treasure", saying that you are a few levels, you are a few levels, and you are not willing to take it and force you to spend money, you are willing to spend more money, and you can't get a high-end brand.

After reading the thin pages sent by the children of the Chen family, Jiang Feng slapped his thigh fiercely, and couldn't help but praise it:

"It's black, it's dark."

If you want to be famous, the quickest and most convenient way is to find a celebrity to evaluate it, you don't see the fish shop in Hangzhou, it turned out to be just a small grass house, but after Emperor Zhengde ate there, of course, most of the articles are said to go to find women, and now it is the largest restaurant in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Of course, the emperor will not easily go to your restaurant to eat, so it is always okay for famous literati to go, scholars and officials of the six departments go to eat every day, and no one will leave ink treasures in every place to eat, so the biggest hope is still those of Zhan Shifu, the idle officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the gentlemen in the Xungui family, these people have money in their families, and they are also extremely hard at eating when they have nothing to do, and over time, there are recognized as more than a dozen people in the capital who are the best at eating.

If someone's restaurant is eaten too much by these dozen people, it will be difficult for the business to be bad, but not every family can know these idlers and idlers who usually wear casual clothes and go around to taste food.

At this time, the food review launched by the food supervisor is very useful, our food is good or bad, you don't need to enter the store to taste it, do you see the small white copper plate hanging on the plaque outside, the sixth level of food, what does this mean, our restaurant is a six-product, the six-product knows what the concept is, that is the main thing of the six-department, don't you see, there are several six-grade in the capital, can there be this small bronze brand without real ability?

As soon as this tasting came out, I looked at the restaurant with my name on it in the booklet, and immediately came over with the silver, just like those who didn't want money, this is an official certificate!

There are good people in the Jingshi, and they have given this booklet and the food bronze medal a name, this booklet is called "Ming Food Law", and the bronze medal is called the food seal, and the seventh-level food is called "County Order", and the four-level food brand outside is the "four-grade prefect".

Naturally, the business has risen sharply, and those who do not have a brand are secretly holding back their strength, ready to keep improving, and must win this honor next year.

It's not an ordinary black, but Jiang Feng understands in his heart that this method is said to give those who have not been selected, but in fact, it seems to be cutting leeks and collecting money one by one, the ancients really underestimated it, and one of their own ideas was actually inferred by those people.

I don't know when, Zhao Xiucai has already left the house, Bowen doesn't know when he walked in, and when he saw Jiang Feng stunned there, he couldn't help but cry out like a complaint:

"I said the owner, why are you still here leisurely like this, since the names of the twelve restaurants at the food conference came out, the doors of our Huifeng Building are about to be broken down, and we can't be busy, let's go and recruit some people!"

It looks like crying, but in fact, there are really a lot of smug elements in it, Jiang Feng also understands, and laughs and scolds there:

"This means that your food is well cooked, Bao Fatty, you have to be cheap here."

Bowen was sitting beside Jiang Feng at this time, and asked with some apprehension on his face:

"The owner, although my Lao Bao's craftsmanship is not bad, but I also have a number, compared to those restaurants, there is no bottom."

When Jiang Feng heard this, with a novel expression on his face, he said:

"No matter how many there are, we'll send them this time!"

At this time, Zhao Xiucai ran in panting, his face was extremely excited, and he said in a trembling voice:

"The owner, Chen Bei let his son send over the silver, the first time we got the silver, a total of 26,000 taels, 26,000 taels of white flowers!!"
