Ruan Dacheng smiled: "Young man, there are some other thoughts, which is understandable. ”

Ruan Dacheng then said: "It's almost time, let's have a table." After saying that, I went down and started serving.

Zhu Hongsan used to eat in the market, and he had never been to a top restaurant in the Ming Dynasty. I had never been to it in my previous life, and that kind of private club was where a small civil servant like Zhu Hongsan went.

So he always thought that eating and drinking in the Ming Dynasty was much worse than in his previous life. But this time it was an eye-opener, it turned out that no matter which dynasty, rich people live in the same way.

Not to mention the rest, this table of porcelain is worth a lot of silver. It is all blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the wine glass in front of him, which is as thin as a cicada's wings, and the wine is even more crystal clear when poured, so that Zhu Hongsan does not dare to pick up the wine glass, for fear that the wine glass will be broken if he makes a hard effort.

Feng Ruoshu said: "Brother Ji's set of Yuan Qinghua costs a lot of silver, right?" You see that the glaze of this wine glass is slightly shiny blue, and it is slightly light blue in the warmth, which is the shadow blue glaze produced by the official kiln of Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "There, aren't things just used?" Brother Jiexiu likes it, and I'll give it to you in a moment. ”

Feng Ruoshu exclaimed: "How can this make this set of Yuan blue and white wine utensils can't come down without 10,000 taels of silver, Feng really can't accept it." ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "There, we are the same year, we haven't seen each other for many years, a little thing to talk about." ”

Zhu Hongsan, who was on the side, heard that this set of wine utensils was worth 10,000 taels of silver, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly put the wine glass on the table, afraid that he would not be able to pay for it. In fact, Zhu Hongsan does not know the price of this set of wine utensils in the future, but he must know that in the future, the blue and white fragments of Yuan Yuan will weigh as much as gold. Zhu Hongsan was afraid that he would kill Ruan Dacheng, and he had the heart to take the wine utensils for himself.

Zhu Hongsan saw these two old guys pushing back and forth, and said, "Uncle, don't shirk it, this is Lord Ruan's heart." ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "See, it's still the junior who understands me." ”

Feng Ruoshu heard Zhu Hongsan say this, so he had no choice but to say: "Brother Ji, then I will be disrespectful." ”

When the dishes came up while talking, Zhu Hongsan was really dazzled. This is not bad at all with the hotel in the previous life, and it is even better in terms of knife work.

Zhu Hongsan saw a plate of sparrow's tongue and asked, "Lord Ruan, this is a finch tongue, right?" ”

Ruan Dacheng nodded and said: "This is a canary tongue, made of a hundred canaries, and this dish is mainly to use broth to remove the fishy smell of the tongue." The broth takes 10 chickens and takes three days to make. ”

Zhu Hongsan was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, he didn't expect the people of the Ming Dynasty to live like this.

Then a plate of fried locusts came up, and Zhu Hongsan asked, "Isn't this a locust?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "This is not a locust in the wild, this is a locust fed with millet, after the second molt, it is the time when it is soft and delicious, Xiao San can taste it." ”

Zhu Hongsan took a chopstick and put it in his mouth, it was really different from what he ate when he was a child, there was no fishy smell of grass, but a little taste of millet pot, it was really delicious.

Next, I saw one dish after another, and Ruan Dacheng had to introduce how to make this dish for each one. Hearing this, Zhu Hong nodded three times and again.

Feng Ruoshu is nothing, no matter how he says it, he is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and he has participated in this kind of banquet countless times.

Zhu Hongsan is different, his family was not rich when he was a child, and he relied on his wife Zhao Chunhua's grocery store to raise him. Later, when I had more money, I just ate braised pork, mutton, dog meat, etc., and I really never thought of this kind of high-level banquet.

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Lord Ruan, this table of banquets is not cheap, right?" ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled: "There is not a lot of money, just two hundred taels of silver." ”

"Damn, it's only two hundred taels of silver." Zhu Hongsan scolded in his heart, you must know that Zhu Hongsan's entire equipment for a musketeer is only one hundred taels of silver, which is the price of muskets, horizontal knives, gunpowder, a base of ammunition, grenades * bullets, bayonets * knives, luggage, and three sets of military uniforms. Unexpectedly, in this meal, three people ate the equipment of two musketeers.

Zhu Hongsan thought: "It is said that the southern scholars are extravagant, but I didn't expect this to be the case." The northern court has no money to quell the rebellion, but they are eating and drinking here. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan asked: "Lord Ruan, I heard that the Jingshi let the Manchu Qing occupy it, I don't know what the adults in the court think?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "This Manchu Qing Dynasty's defeat of the Liukou with a stone is really happy, and some people in the court say that they want to borrow the hands of the Manchu Qing to clean up Li Zicheng, and I also agree very much." ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to say this, and then asked: "Lord Ruan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not my race, and their hearts must be different, let them come in, what if they don't leave in the future?" ”

Ruan Dacheng said: "Anyway, the north is no longer what it is, it is better to take the Yellow River as the boundary, and it is also good to cede the north to the Manchus." ”

Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to say such bastard remarks, Zhu Hongsan used to think that Ruan Dacheng was bullied and quite pitiful, but now he finds that the comment given to Ruan Dacheng in history, "the villain among villains" really did not wronged him.

Zhu Hongsan was elated when he saw what Ruan Dacheng said, and was ready to borrow the hand of the Manchu Qing to clean up Li Zicheng. But Zhu Hongsan was deeply disappointed in Ruan Dacheng in his heart.

Zhu Hongsan now feels that the death of the Ming Dynasty is really not wronged at all, everyone in a dynasty considers the problem from their own side, what is the first thing that comes to mind is whether they have suffered or not, can this kind of dynasty be good?

Zhu Hongsan thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, Jiajing, Wanli, and also thought of Hu Weiyong, San Yang, Xu Youzhen, Xu Jie, and Zhang Juzheng. They are good and bad, but at least they all have one thing in common, they all want to do something for this country, right or wrong.

But Nanming's group of scholars, everyone starts from their own and does not take responsibility at all. Zhu Hongsan remembered Chongzhen who hanged himself in Beijing, and remembered the big words at his feet, "Wenchen can be killed!" ”。 Chongzhen, you are really unjustly dead.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help laughing, which made Ruan Dacheng and Feng Ruoshu stunned, Feng Ruoshu said, "Little San, what's wrong with you?" Don't be rude. ”

Zhu Hongsan stopped laughing and said, "I'm sorry, I just remembered something interesting and laughed." After that, he ate and drank.

Ruan Dacheng and the others didn't suspect anything, and continued to talk.

Zhu Hongsan was furious in his heart, and thought in his heart: "It seems that Nanjing should really be slaughtered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to make these scholars sober up." ”

Zhu Hongsan had already seen that Ruan Dacheng was of little use, and he had no interest in talking to him, just focusing on eating and drinking.

The banquet lasted until midnight, Ruan Dacheng and Feng Ruoshu were a little drunk, and Zhu Hongsan saw that Feng Ruoshu couldn't leave, so he opened two rooms in Chunjiang Building and stayed.

Zhu Hongsan was lying on the bed listening to the chirping of insects outside, and his heart really couldn't calm down for a long time.

For the first time, he felt powerless in this era, something he had never felt like this before. In the past, whether it was to escape for his life or to be happy in the second half of his life, he faced difficulties with a smile, and if he didn't accept it, he would kill it, and if the whole family didn't accept it, he would kill the whole family.

But now it's not that person who is unconvinced, it's that the whole world is drunk and dreaming of death, can he kill the whole world?

For the first time, Zhu Hongsan was confused about the general direction of his future, and it was simple to drive away the Manchu Qing, but what about the future? Is it still like the previous dynasties, the previous emperors came to have a prosperous era and what kind of rule?

And then in the continuation of the old tradition to start land annexation? And then a new dynasty was formed in the peasant uprising? So what did you do to drive out the Manchus? At least the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were still diligent.

What about the future? Zhu Hongsan really couldn't sleep early, so he walked out of the guest room and walked outside.

Walking and walking to the place where the guy in Chunjianglou lived, he passed a room, which was not sleeping yet, and the lamp was lit.

Zhu Hongsan heard a person talking inside, and when Zhu Hongsan heard it, it was a person counting money, a copper plate and a copper plate. At the end of the count, the man laughed quietly: "I made a penny of silver today, I hope that the business will be so good in the future, and there will be more rewards, so that I can buy a few acres of land when I go home." It's perfect to find a wife to honor the old lady and give birth to a few children. ”

At this moment, a person in the room spoke: "Lao Liu, what are you muttering without sleeping in the middle of the night?" ”

That old Liu hurriedly said to sleep, and then blew out the light and fell asleep.

Zhu Hongsan heard very clearly outside the window, such a little person, his ideal is to have a hot kang head for his wife and children, what about mine?

Zhu Hongsan stood until the sky was bright, watching the red sun rise, thinking of his children in Guangdong, Zhu Hongsan suddenly figured out, what do you care about? As long as you are happy and happy, you can lay a big fortune, and then pass it on to your son, as for what happens later, it is a matter for future generations, and it is my business. Life and death have a destiny and wealth in the sky, without me Zhu Hongsan, the earth will not turn?

Zhu Hongsan laughed out loud after figuring it out, and he finally had an epiphany.
