Chapter 1046 A Song Dynasty popcorn

Zhao Xing This is a curse sentence, "Cook" means "son" in the Khitan language.

In fact, the Liao people are now completely sinicized, they speak Chinese, and even the titles between them are similar to those of the Song language. Many Khitan aristocrats grew up in a Chinese-speaking environment and could not even understand Khitan. Zhao Xing's words were square, which made the Khitan man stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Whose Acha are you?" ”

In fact, a person's temperament is closely related to the environment in which he grew up, Zhao Xing did not grow in the environment of the Song Dynasty, he naturally has a temperament that is not similar to the Song people, plus the other party's rare size, so as soon as Zhao Xing's words came out, the Liao people's brains were a little dull, and they subconsciously thought that the other party might belong to their parents, so they were called "cook".

Acha means "father" in Khitan, but it is also a generic term for the elder.

After this sentence was asked, seeing Zhao Xing's smiling expression, no matter how stupid the Liao man was, he screamed, rushed forward, grabbed the other party's waist with both hands, and stumbled under his feet......

It's a bit like Mongolian wrestling, and of course, no Mongolia exists yet.

Zhao Xing doesn't know this kind of wrestling, he only beats people. The other party's hands just touched his waist, his body had leaned forward, and he hit it with his shoulder, and when the Khitan man raised his foot to stumble, Zhao Xing's shoulder had hit the opponent's chest hard, and at this time, the opponent's foot was suspended in the air, and the supporting leg couldn't stand the impact force, and immediately rolled to the ground......

The actual combat Tang hand is an extremely ferocious fighting technique, it pays attention to using all body strength in every assault, the Khitan people just held a teasing demeanor at first, and wanted to humiliate Zhao Xing, but they did not guard against Zhao Xing's counterattack so fiercely, under a collision, it seemed that several ribs were broken, and he rolled a few times in the ground. He was motionless and fainted.

At this time, several officials of Kaifeng Mansion were dodging and walking to the front, they didn't expect the matter to end so quickly. All stay there. Zhao Xingshi walked in front of the entourage holding the silver plate, took the other party's plate with a natural expression, and said lightly to the attendant who was in a daze: "I'm on the ground...... Loot, isn't it? ”

These words are spoken in the Khitan language. The attendants couldn't figure out the depth of Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing held the silver plate and walked towards the end of the street in a dashing manner.

After a while, the attendant came to his senses and hurriedly went to check on the master who had fainted. Zhao Xing's companion also came to his senses and hurriedly followed Zhao Xing. Behind him, several officials were still muttering in a low voice: "Hehe, seeing that this Liao man is so arrogant, I thought he had the ability to measure the heavens and the earth." I didn't expect it to be so vulnerable. ”

In fact, these officials are also reluctant to face foreigners, and the police help foreigners bully Chinese people, which is a modern concept. The officials of the Song Dynasty were not so advanced, and they came with them, that is, they wanted to wipe their butts for the Liao people. So for the Liao people to be defeated, they were a little happy in their hearts.

The Song people were afraid of officials. But Zhao Xing is not afraid. Ordinary Song people saw the appearance of the officials, and they were afraid to go. Naturally, he didn't want to cause trouble, and Zhao Xing grasped the psychological dynamics of the officials, so he didn't hesitate to slam his hand, and after beating the Liao, he ignored it. So that the officials could not find a chance to speak.

But. The muttering of the officials reminded the Liao attendant. Several attendants were busy rescuing their masters, and a few people were left to catch up with Zhao Xing. He asked respectfully: "Official, leave your name before leaving." ”

Zhao Xing stood up and pointed to this antique street, now there is no one on the street, the shop guys are carefully poking their heads out of the store, and looking at the street excitedly, they are afraid of causing trouble and getting involved in lawsuits.

"See, there is no one on the street, the lord is called the street tiger, the famous street tiger Lou A rat in the Great Xiangguo Temple. Looking for a venue? In the future, I will come to this street, and I will tell you what it means to punch the Nanshan Tiger and kick the Beihai Jiao. ”

Zhao Xing said a serious word, the ruffian between the words was revealed, Cheng Azhu looked inexplicable, Chen Yiyi's eyes lit up excitedly, Chaoyun had already laughed, she hung her head and walked quickly, until she was in front of the sumo ring, she stopped and laughed loudly.

The sumo wrestlers on the sumo ring looked excited, their shouting was weak, and when they saw Zhao Xing staggering over with a silver plate, they all stared wide-eyed at this strong man who had been humiliated by them.

There were no officials near the sumo ring, and it seems that when the Liao people made trouble just now, these officials were afraid of causing trouble and fled one after another. Now in front of the entire sumo ring, there is only Chaoyun who is smiling and twisting, and Zhao Xing with an indifferent face. A little farther away, Ah Zhu and Yi Yi also walked here with laughter and giggles.

Zhao Xing gently put the silver plate on the ring, and said in a self-talking tone: "Harmony can make money......

After saying this, Zhao Xing gently singled out his hand, as if he was dusting off alone, left the plate of silver in the ring, and staggered to the end of the street. Behind him were three smiling women who were leaning back and forth, and after a while, their figures merged into the street near Donghua Gate.

When he walked out of the street where the accident occurred, Zhao Xing smacked his lips dissatisfiedly: "Alas, I was going to go to the dock of Daxiangguo Temple to do something, but now it's ......."

When Cheng Azhu heard this, he hurriedly handed over a sweat towel to wipe the sweat that Zhao Xing did not exist; Chen Yiyi replied nonchalantly: "Then I'll go tomorrow, I haven't shopped enough." ”

After walking a few steps, Zhao Xing had stopped at the door of a restaurant, and the steward who appeared at Su Shi's house yesterday stood outside the door, and when he saw Zhao Xing coming, he immediately stepped forward to shout, and informed the man to inform the shopkeeper in a stack.

"Big official, you always order food first, I'll go and inform the shopkeeper", the steward was very enthusiastic.

"Uncle Leave, I won't enter", Chaoyun stood in front of the door of Hele Building and said goodbye to Zhao Xing: "The family still needs to be taken care of, and it is not easy for me to come forward on this occasion." ”

Chaoyun is the concubine of an official, it is not good to appear in such a public place, Zhao Xing did not dare to force it, and immediately beckoned his men to escort Chaoyun home. He walked into the Hele Building under the guidance of the running hall.

The style of restaurants in the Song Dynasty was different from that of modern times, and the celebrity chefs had their own kitchens, and the dishes were sold in a similar way to today's open kitchens. The shopkeeper led the crowd in and out of the various kitchens, each chef had his own unique skills, and the guests ordered their dishes on the spot, and then continued to the next kitchen......

Each kitchen orders a few dishes, and the whole table is made, and then the guy will lead the guests into the private room, and the servants in each kitchen will serve the dishes ordered by the guests.

In the Song Dynasty, there were hundreds of recorded place name dishes. It is said that each chef must be able to cook at least 40 dishes before he is qualified to open his own kitchen. Dozens of kitchen dishes put together. Each kitchen dish will have a small sign next to the plate to indicate the source. These kitchens are elegantly named. Guests who eat that dish can be rewarded extra, and the chef gets the most bounty that month. can become the "top brand" of the restaurant.

The hotel boxes of the Song Dynasty resembled the modern Japanese-style small boxes - no, this is the other way around, it should be said that the modern Japanese hotel boxes are similar to the Song Dynasty boxes: sliding doors, small low tables, and more guests, and the partition doors adjacent to the boxes are removed, and it becomes a large room that communicates.

Such rooms are not soundproofed at all, because the houses are separated by a layer of wooden planks.

When entering the door, Zhao Xing stopped at the door for a moment, and he observed the sliding door - there were no balls up and down the sliding door, and it was completely sliding to complete the sliding process. He nodded thoughtfully. Step into the house.

It can be seen that this is a specially reserved box, and there is a lot of space in it, enough to fit four or five tables, but there are only two tables in it. Zhao Xing, Cheng Azhu, and the Chen brothers and sisters sat in the chief, and Jin Buer and the Xiao brothers naturally sat at the remaining table.

Chen Yiyi, Chen Gongchuan...... All the people here came to the Great Song Bianliang City for the first time, and what they wanted most was to sit in the hall. See Asia's most powerful civilization, its people, and its people in this small room. Nothing can actually be seen. For this reason, when the guy was closing the sliding door, Zhao Xing waved his hand to stop, and he ordered lightly: "Wait for Xiaoliang to come, open the door." ”

The steward immediately winked. The guy quietly stepped away. Zhao Xing turned his face and ordered the steward: "You should also step down." We're going to take it a feel off. You're holding back instead. ”

These words instead exposed the countryman face of this group of people, but when Zhao Xing said this. Speaking so arrogantly that the steward did not dare to laugh, he made a settlement and withdrew from the house.

After the steward stepped down, the house became active, Chen Yiyi first jumped up and looked at the scenery outside the window, and Chen Gongchuan also gathered beside his sister and looked at the endless crowd outside the window. Among these people, only Cheng Azhu looked very demure, she sat quietly side by side with Zhao Xing, her face full of happiness.

Zhao Xing took out the jewelry he had just bought and re-admired them with Cheng Azhu one by one, and the two exchanged some wearing opinions from time to time, such as what occasion to wear, what season to wear, and what clothes to wear. After chatting for a while, Chen Yiyi was dissatisfied, she ran over and casually messed up the table and wore jewelry: "Okay, okay, I'm hungry, the official go and urge it, let's have some snacks first......"

Snacks? Zhao Xing looked up at the door, and saw a waitress walking by the door with a pot of snacks, he was a little familiar with the snacks in the basin, and hurriedly beckoned to the guys.

"Big official, this is for the guests of the house next door", as soon as he entered the hall, he explained first.

Zhao Xing didn't say anything, he looked at the pot of snacks and was a little dizzy - it was popcorn, it turned out to be a pot of popcorn.

Is there still someone who crosses?

The steward appeared at the door, he walked in with a singer, sang a promise to Zhao Xing, and asked carefully: "Daguan, do you want this rice flower, I asked the guy to send another pot to the house next door, and this pot will be placed here first." ”

Rice flowers, even the name is the same.

Zhao Xing nodded lightly and asked again, "What other snacks?" Serve it all together! ”

The steward agreed, and introduced the woman beside him to Zhao Xing: "Big official, this is Liao Xiaoxiao, the head of the Jingshi Bank, my master has to come over in a while, he asked Miss Liao to accompany the big official first!" ”

Liao Xiaoxiao was dressed in goose-yellow clothes, and her head was full of pearls. This dress and jewelry are worth a lot of money, and it is estimated that it is not easy to invite her to come forward. When the girl entered the door, her eyes flashed wide, and she looked at a few people in the room, and saw a few people's slightly rustic outfits, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and both eyes were smiling.

After the steward's introduction, Liao Xiaoxiao sang a promise to Zhao Xing, she glanced at the two girls in the room, and then glanced at Jin Bu's entourage, and then sat on the table very familiarly, picked up a golden hairpin, and introduced to Cheng Azhu: "This sister." Hello blessing, this golden hairpin is made internally, and Cui Zhizhao rarely lives a year. He easily refused to sell to others, and only his relatives could enter and leave his shop at will, and his sister was blessed to be able to buy a ......"

Cheng Azhu has a docile personality. When he heard this, he immediately replied, "My sister likes it, so take it." ”

Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, she didn't expect Cheng Azhu to be so generous, and she was going to give her a golden hairpin in a few words, she glanced at Cheng Azhu in disbelief, and then looked at Chen Yiyi in front of the window and looked at her with hostility.

Boom, Chen Yiyi munched on popcorn in a big gulp, as if he wanted to put this kabuki in his mouth and chew it well. But what Kataki does is usher in the work of sending to the ground. They have their own bold means to neutralize the hostility of others.

"This sister has good skin, white and tender, I see nostalgia, I don't know what powder to touch...... Ah, my sister's silk is not simple, where to buy land? …… I don't want this golden hairpin, sister, but it was given to you by your sweetheart. How can I win such a precious thing...... The big official is the first time to come to Bianliang City, and he sees the extraordinary bearing of the big official. I don't know where it is. ”

In the blink of an eye, Liao Xiaoxiao flattered three people in a row, and Chen Yiyi didn't like to wear too much jewelry, she was most proud of her white skin, and Liao Xiaoxiao's flattery immediately won her favor.

Women get together. When it comes to costume jewelry, it immediately becomes a mess. In a few moments, the three of them were sitting side by side. Cheng Azhu and Chen Yiyi took out the things they bought when they went shopping and let the clothing expert taste them one by one.

"Xiao Xiu has to be presumptuous, this brother is a big man, don't be lazy", there was a sound at the door, Dong Xiaoliang walked in, and behind him, the runners were mighty, full of wine and food.

Liao Xiaoxiao giggled, and her voice was crisp: "What does the shopkeeper Dong say, where did Xiaoxiao snub the big officials", after that, she glanced at Zhao Xing charmingly.

When she was talking about jewelry with the two women in the house just now, Zhao Xing had been watching their movements with appreciation, and there was no indulgence in his eyes, as if a parent was watching a group of children playing, full of love. And Chen Gongchuan glanced here, and immediately turned his gaze to the street again, only occasionally, attracted by Liao Xiaoxiao's laughter, he quickly glanced here, his eyes were not obsessed, it seemed that he was used to seeing beautiful women, so he was not moved by her beauty.

Liao Xiaoxiao has always been quite surprised, the group's clothes are very plain, and their demeanor is full of curiosity about Bianliang City, Liao Xiaoxiao can't figure out the identity of the other party. Generally speaking, when the rich people in the countryside come to Jingshi, they will be fascinated by the Fengyun of the Jingshi women, but these people only have appreciation in their eyes, and there is no blasphemy.

She just wanted to test the identity of the other party, but Dong Xiaoliang came, which interrupted her exploration.

After a period of greetings, Liao Xiaoxiao understood from the other party's introduction that these two women turned out to be Zhao Xing's wife and concubine. Generally speaking, men go to restaurants without wives and concubines, but Zhao Xing does all this so naturally, as if it is a matter of course.

On the banquet, Dong Xiaoliang raised a glass of wine and saluted Zhao Xing first: "Brother Liren, I can have today's achievements, all thanks to two years ago, I tasted your fish banquet on the sea - it's a pity that the gathering was short, the younger brother only learned eleven dishes, if Brother Liren is willing to hand over to me this time, I will worship you as a teacher, please accept me as an apprentice." ”

Zhao Xing took the other party's wine and drank it calmly, which was equivalent to accepting the other party's proposal: "I came to participate in the imperial examination this time, and I want to stay in Beijing for a while, you rent a house for me, you have to bring a big courtyard, it is best to be in the outer city, and ask your cook to wait in that courtyard......"

Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes widened: "Zhao Daguan is actually a famous person, I can't see it, I thought that Daguan was just a businessman!?" ”

Dong Xiaoliang laughed: "Xiaoxiao, you don't know yet, my teacher is still a protégé of Master Su...... Look, I just called you, and you didn't want to. ”

Liao Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled and she chuckled: "The surname is Zhao, a bachelor's protégé, but is that Zhao Liren who has been adrift overseas in the past few years?" But if life is only as Zhao Liren as I first met? ”

Dong Xiaoliang laughed, Zhao Xing raised the wine and borrowed the wine glass to cover his face. Chen Yiyi asked in disbelief: "Isn't Brother Xing not still poetry, what kind of poems, read it and listen to it!" ”

"If life is only as first seen, what is the West Wind sad fan? ......" Liao Xiaoxiao raised a chopstick, knocked on the cups and saucers on the table and began to sing, after the song was sung, the neighbors shouted, and a rough voice next to him was still shouting: "But is Liao Xiaoxiao?" When is Miss Liao free, would you like to come over with a face? ”

"Miss" in the Song Dynasty is to call prostitutes, after the Mongols entered the Central Plains, mistakenly thought that "Miss" was the most noble woman, so "Miss" became an honorific title for women, especially the daughter of the eunuch. The Ming and Qing dynasties continued this custom.

Liao Xiaoxiao scolded crisply, but the scolding was full of joyful emphasis, which made people not feel that it was insulting, but more like an expression of intimacy. Come to think of it, the person who was scolded must be proud in the box next door.

The surrounding noise subsided, Dong Xiaoliang ordered someone to close the door of the box, and after a few toasts, he asked Zhao Xing again: "The teacher asked my chef to go to you, what craft do you want to learn this time?" ”

Zhao Xing took a bite of food and smiled lazily: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to eat comfortably during this time in Bianliang, but it's not without your benefits...... I was in a hurry all the way, and the entourage was left behind, and they drove a few carts and sent a few seafood, all of which were rare, and I was afraid that others would not be able to do well, so I specially borrowed your cook. ”

"What rarity?" Dong Xiaoliang looked at Zhao Xing with blank eyes.
