Chapter 103: Fifth Floor Mountain

All the rules of the food conference were determined, and Chen Bei sent someone to send two thousand taels of silver, and the silver money that the two sides could get in this event was these, and the rest was to win or lose in the so-called ring.

The eunuch, the leader of the Shang Shan Prison, could be regarded as one of the most proficient eaters in the whole world, because he was the one who prepared the imperial meal for the Son of Heaven, and Chen Gou'er deserved to serve as the judge, and the other was the old Beijing official Zitai who lived at home.

Fang Zitai itself is the rich family of the capital, although he was promoted late in the official career, but when he was young and golden, he traveled all over the world, tasted food, and was recognized as a food master in Beijing, and the chef at home was famous in Beijing, when Emperor Zhengde was in power, he also borrowed his chef, what a great thing.

On the "Food Treasure", the signature is Fang Zitai's name, and the white copper plates sent down have the inscription of the old waiter Fang, which gives people the impression of authority.

The presence of these two people as an evaluation is enough to explain the authority of this conference, but the remaining one is sincere; Liu Zhili, who is also nearly sixty years old, has always liked to be lively, and when he heard that there was such a prosperous world, he took the initiative to come to the door.

Who would refute his face for such a thing, Chen Gou'er and Fang Zitai both agreed.

The topic of the food conference has already been sent, if the twelve restaurants are all for the whole table of banquets, then I am afraid that it will take a few days to eat, it will be too delayed.

It is still the family of Fang Zitai's wealthy, and it is a civil official from Hanlin, and there are some doorways and topics: at noon on the twentieth day of the lunar month on the third floor of the Mellow Building, each restaurant brings its own pot stove, cook, and materials to make a porridge, an expensive dish, and a cheap dish, and the so-called cheap dishes are dishes that cannot be eaten, such as things like pigs in the water.

Those who did not participate in the capital, but some people had ingenuity and played a signboard outside, saying that they were invited to taste a porridge in our store, one expensive and one cheap, and the business was also very good, and the peers naturally followed one after another.

Speaking of the preparations from this food event, the business of various restaurants and restaurants is much better than usual, and the business on the roster is very good, calculate, even if you spend money to buy a brand, the business growth in the second year must be a steady return.

As for the twelve restaurants that entered the 'finals', they are almost full of customers, and now officials and businessmen from all over the Ming Dynasty come to the capital for business or business, and the 'food treasures' in their hands are a copy of each person, and if they don't eat in the capital, it will be a big pity.

There is a saying that a butterfly flapping its wings somewhere may cause another wind to blow, and now the catering industry of the Jiajing Dynasty has been severely shocked by Jiang Feng's means of modern hearsay.

Compared with the large-scale preparations of other restaurants, Huifeng Lou is much calmer here, because the original layout was not big, and now that it is late, there is no seat at all, Li Hechun and his sons and buddies seem to have forgotten that there was a little blood not long ago. Every day is to take this as the main base, morning tea after drinking waiting for lunch, after lunch, go to the surrounding casinos and green buildings to have fun, dinner is directly in the Huifeng Building to call the meal a meeting, but also convenient.

Since it was a customer, there was no reason to blow it out, and Jiang Feng didn't bother to pay attention to it, but one day Li Hechun and his gang drank too much and talked to each other with their tongues in the private seat, so they understood the reason, it turned out that these people could not be regarded as first-class people in the capital.

So in a big place like Mellow and Lou, I often meet opponents who can't be provoked, which is okay, often after the feud, things become endless, often looking for fun halfway, there is a leader to call in, but there is no place to reason.

There will be a lot of fun, but it's different when you come here, the circle of the gentlemen in the capital has long spread that the owner of this restaurant is a murderer, a murderer with strong martial arts, and a scary murderer with a big backstage, who dares to offend.

So no matter what you do outside, it's quite reassuring, Jiang Feng laughed there after hearing it, but the people on the side were quite surprised, I don't know why they laughed, Jiang Feng's heart at this time remembered that in modern times, those nightclubs and other places that were known to have a very good background, wouldn't the current Huifeng Building be a super enhanced version of that model.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Jiang Feng Zhang Liang and Zhao Xiucai both came to the fifth floor of the village, and when they left Huifeng Building, the shopkeeper Wang asked Jiang Feng quite puzzled:

"Owner, the conference will be held in five days, why don't you arrange for them to prepare, this is too meaningful to us."

Jiang Feng smiled and asked:

"What was the scale of our Huifeng Building in the past? After this time, when there was no news, how many deals did we make in a day, and now? ”

Since the benefits are almost gone, if you continue to be insatiable, it is easy to cause trouble, Jiang Feng looked at the purchasing manager of the restaurant like this when he was working in modern times, and he slid down step by step, and finally his reputation was ruined, and there was nothing left.

He has always been a deep precept for this, and on the twelfth day of the lunar month, he took Zhang Liang, Zhao Xiucai and the boss of the Ma brothers, and several people left the capital by horse and car to go to the fifth floor village, accompanied by seven or eight carts, which were full of goods. Although it was winter, it had not snowed for many days, and it was not difficult to walk on the road.

The handlebar type sent by the old man Li is also a veteran of the years, there is no danger along the way, although the fifth floor is on the mountain, but it is not far from the official road, but the place is also a little ingenious, if it is not for the careful observation on the official road, you can't see the people in the middle of the mountain.

Tie Dan was waiting on the mountain road according to the news agreed before, followed by six or seven people dressed as hunters, all of whom looked quite strong and fierce, and when they saw Jiang Feng and their carriages and horses appear, they hurriedly greeted them, and after following Jiang Feng to salute, he directly introduced the hunters behind him and said:

"Master, these people are the tenants on our Zhuangzi, here is a branch of the surname Yang in Liaodong, and the people in the Zhuangzi are all surnamed Yang, hurry up and give the lord a salute."

Those hunters obviously didn't have such experience, they were stunned at first, and after glancing at each other, some of them knelt down, and some of them were holding their fists with both hands, Jiang Feng looked at these uneven actions, and couldn't help but be happy there, and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, the New Year is almost over, and today I brought a lot of New Year's goods to everyone, and I followed those big cars."

Although the people in the mountains are not polite, but this kind of real thing is understood, and suddenly several young people are cheering and running towards the big carts, but a strong hunter who followed behind the iron egg did not move, and shouted at the top of his throat and said:

"How can you bastards move, go back to the mountains and call someone."

Jiang Feng had already dismounted, and he was very interested in seeing this strong man, and Tie Dan had already stood beside Jiang Feng and said:

"This is the original village chief in Zhuangzi, the one who took the idea, and his name is Yang Da."

When Jiang Feng heard this name, he couldn't help but be happy, remembering that the names of those guys he heard in the mellow building were all from one to forty-seven to several hundred, and said with a smile:

"Yang Da, how many men are there in your village?"

"If you go back to the owner, if you can go up to the mountains to hunt, there are about a dozen, and the rest are children and old people."

"From now on, you will be Yang Yi, according to your age, I will go out hunting from one, two, three, four."

As he spoke, the group had already walked up the mountain, and the mountain road was already quite good by the standards of this era, although the mountain itself was very gentle, but looking at this posture, if it wasn't for some snow on the road, I'm afraid that the carriage could also come up.

The iron egg on the side was there and said in a courteous introduction:

"This is all done by those 130 new dings, Chen Dahu said at the time, if this Zhuangzi continues for a long time, it is still convenient to have a way, and the little courage is to arrange for them to clean it up."

Although Jiang Feng patted Tie Dan's shoulder with appreciation, his mind was always on Yang Da, more precisely, on the bow and arrow that Yang Da was carrying.

Halfway through, Jiang Feng stopped and asked Yang Da:

"How's your archery going?"

Yang Da replied there truthfully:

"Within fifty steps, you will definitely not fall short."

There was a bit of pride in his words, but he didn't expect the new master to speak:

"Yang Da, do you think you are more powerful than the fire gun on my apprentice's body, Zhang Liang prepare your fire gun."

Since Zhang Liang went up the mountain, he has been carrying a long and narrow burden, which is much thinner than the one that looked like a short cannon some time ago, but the length is about the same. When Zhang Liang heard this, he muttered "This is really troublesome" and then untied his burden.

In Jiang Feng's eyes, this thing is very close to modern firearms, to be precise, very close to the Western-style muskets sold in shops selling handicrafts in modern times, this firearm was still bought by Zhang Liang in the hands of a certain Francophone merchant in Beijing, with twenty taels of gold, because according to this businessman, this firearm has appeared in their country for less than ten years, so he took it, just as a collection, in fact, this is a heavy arquebus.

Opening the baggage, Zhang Liang held a long iron bar in his hand and began to pass the barrel up and down, his movements were quite rusty, and then poured out the gunpowder from the skin bag around him, slowly compacted it, and then put in the projectile to draw out the arquebus......

Yang Da over there looked quite impatient, and said a little recklessly:

"Master, this firearm is so troublesome, if it were against me, it would have been killed by a few arrows."

Jiang Feng smiled and pointed to a dead tree about forty steps away not far away, and said:

"Shoot that tree."

Yang Da's reaction was quite fast, and he also knew that Jiang Feng had some meaning to take the test, took off the bow and arrow, and the flutter was three arrows, the archery was really good, the arrow hit the middle of the dead tree, and it was a fist-sized range, the archery was accurate, and he looked at Jiang Feng proudly after shooting, Jiang Feng nodded and praised, according to modern time, it took Zhang Liang about two minutes from untying the burden to loading it.

Zhang Liang bit the copper pipe fire medium that had already opened the lid with his teeth, and Jiang Feng also pointed to the dead tree and said:

"Shoot that tree!"

After the fire medium ignited the fire rope, Zhang Liang let go of the fire medium and fell to the ground, the fire rope began to burn, and Zhang Liang aimed at the dead tree.

"Boom !!"

There was a loud thunderous sound, and the dead tree was broken in two in the middle!!
