Chapter 224: The Martyrs' Shrine is completed
Zhao Zizhong saw Wu's nervous look, so he said with a smile: "Brother Liang, don't be anxious, let Ling Lang take care of his body first and adapt to the climate and environment here." Let's do the training again in a few days. ”
Wu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao Zizhong with gratitude. A smile appeared on his face.
Liang Daguan lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Brother, let you bother more." But you're going to send me a couple of guards and have them take turns staring at these two bastards. Otherwise, I'm afraid that they will cause trouble, and you must promise me. ”
Zhao Zi nodded emphatically: "No problem, I will send six guards to you tomorrow, let them be divided into three shifts, each shift is responsible for four hours, day and night to guard Ling Lang, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, that's it."
Seeing her husband's resolute attitude, Wu knew that he was against it, and it should be invalid, so he had no choice but to agree.
At this time, Cao Deshun, Wang Mingjun, and Cui Daoshu came over and talked with everyone.
After a while, Wu said goodbye to everyone, and went back to settle the family, accompanied by an escort.
Zhao Zizhong asked his men to open a banquet and wash the dust for Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun.
Liang Daguan asked, "Brother, Da Lang, Xiao Du, and why didn't Na Zhe come?" ”
Zhao Zizhong shook his head and said: "I took Da Lang and Xiao Du away, these two second goods, there are no good words in their mouths all day long, and I am so angry that my liver hurts." They're not here, and I can eat more. ”
Everyone burst into laughter, and Wei Hongye asked, "What about Zhe?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Boris explains: "I've heard that he seems to have taken some of his students into the mountains to collect rock specimens. ”
Soon, the food and drinks were served, and everyone began to feast on the seafood prepared by the chef.
Cao Deshun lives in Jinling, and Wang Mingjun's family is in the Jinghu area, and they have rarely eaten such fresh seafood before. The duo praised the dishes, saying they had never eaten anything like them before.
Liang Daguan shook his head and said: "Two brothers, I won't tell you anything, the reason why I stay here is that food is also one of the reasons. Their chefs are so good at cooking, many dishes have never been seen before, I really don't know where they got their chefs, they are definitely some of the best in the world. ”
The brothers looked at each other and thought it was funny. These dishes are the essence of major cuisines a thousand years later, and most of them were reminisced by the brothers and developed by the chefs. Even a gourmand like Liang Daguan is also amazed by these dishes.
Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "Brother Cao, if we open a restaurant in Jinling City and sell these dishes publicly, what do you think of the prospects?" ”
Cao Deshun immediately said: "Absolutely feasible, these dishes are so delicious!" If you open a restaurant in Jinling City, you will definitely make money every day. ”
Wei Hongye said with a smile: "This matter needs my brother's help!" We have no foundation in Jinling, and we can't deal with the various forces in the local area, as well as those city fox society rats. ”
Cao Deshun agreed, saying that this was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.
Wang Mingjun asked, "Brother Cui, do you have any ideas for opening a restaurant in Jingzhou City?" Then I can eat these delicacies more often, hahaha! ”
"Brother Wang, if you can help settle the government forces and those local snakes, we can open a restaurant in Jingzhou City."
"There is no problem, there is nothing in Jingzhou City that I can't handle, so you can start preparing immediately."
Cui Daoshu nodded: "But we have to wait for a while, we don't have enough chefs who can stand alone!" It is necessary to train some chefs as soon as possible. ”
Boris suggested: "Old Seven, I have a proposal, training chefs is too slow, we can't afford to wait." If you make things like hot pot, barbecue, xiao long bao, and cold skin into standardized dishes, as long as we provide the ingredients and recipes, anyone can make such dishes with simple training, just like the chain stores in later generations. ”
"Yes, yes, just like McDonald's and KFC. Lao Bao's proposal is very good, and we will be able to operate it immediately. Wei Hongye said excitedly.
Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Then tomorrow we will post a notice and recruit people among the residents of the island." If someone can go to Jinling and Jingzhou, the monthly money will be doubled, and another ten acres of land will be rewarded. ”
Cui Daoshu said: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do recently, so leave this job to me." ”
The brothers had no opinion, and the matter was decided. Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun looked at each other, what words like 'McDonald's', 'KFC', and chain stores, the two didn't understand at all.
Liang Daguan and his brothers have been together for a long time, and they have become accustomed to their strange words and have a certain immunity. So he said to Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun, who were confused:
"Don't you understand? It's nothing, their brothers used to stay in the West for a long time and often speak some local words, and it's normal that you don't understand. ”
Cui Daoshu thought about it and said: "We can't forget Mingzhou and Hangzhou, the Cui family has a certain amount of power in these two cities, and there is no problem at all in opening a hotel." ”
Everyone agreed, and Wei Hongye suggested: "We should design a unified logo, like a chain store like 'McDonald's'." In the future, no matter which city you open a store, you will use the same store name and decoration style. We want to try to open chain stores in all cities on the mainland. ”
The brothers had a heated discussion, and everyone named the chain store:
"It's called 'McDonald's.'"
"KFC."
"Pizza Hut."
"It's not good, it's not good, it's better to call it 'Quanjude'."
"It's too old-fashioned, I think it's called 'South Beauty', after all, there is a sense of context."
The brothers argued, and everyone argued on the basis of reason, and everyone wanted to get the naming rights of the chain store.
Liang Daguan interjected: "I said everyone, can you listen to what my old Liang says?" ”
The brothers all quieted down and listened to the advice of Liang Daguan.
"Isn't your organization called 'Seven Seas Company'? Isn't the name of the chain 'Nanami' over? What are you arguing about? ”
The brothers thought about it for a while, and then they all agreed. Everyone raised their glasses, thanked Liang Daguan for his proposal, and also toasted Cao Deshun and Wang Mingjun, hoping that they could help the chain store as soon as possible.
The banquet lasted until late at night, when everyone dispersed and went back to rest.

July 15 of the first year of Qiande (963 AD) Midyear Festival
In the early morning, many people gathered in front of a newly renovated building, and everyone was very quiet, and no one was talking to each other.
The building is built of reinforced concrete and has a small area, about fifty square meters. The exterior is whitewashed with lime water, and the pointed roof is covered with cyan tiles.
This building is the martyr's shrine built by Hu Shuiyang and the workers day and night. Inside there are many tablets, which are the spiritual tablets of the guards and the people who died in the battle against the pirates.
After a while, the guards came in a neat line, and there were about 700 of them, forming a phalanx outside the Martyrs' Shrine, looking black and oppressive.
Zhao Zizhong came with his brothers, they were all dressed in white, and Du Dalei and Na Zhe were still holding bouquets of flowers in their hands, which were wild flowers that had just been picked from the mountains.
Zhao Zizhong stood on the steps in front of the Martyrs' Shrine, and then said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, today is the Midyear Festival, and we are here to mourn the guards and people who died a few days ago. May their heroic spirits rest in heaven. In the future, we will send special personnel to guard the martyrs' shrine and offer incense to them day and night, without breaking it for a moment. Now let's line up and take turns to go in and pay respects. ”
Zhao Zizhong walked into the Martyrs' Shrine with his brothers, then knelt down in front of the spiritual throne and kowtowed respectfully three times.
The brothers all followed, and then everyone put incense on the spiritual seat, and Du Dalei and Na Zhe also offered flowers.
Many of the guards and civilians outside saw the brothers' actions, and everyone was shocked.
They had no idea that the seven boards of directors of Seven Seas would kneel down and worship these originally lowly homeless people. Many people were moved to tears, and many people secretly swore that they were ready to work for Nanami Company in the future, even if they died, they would enter the Martyrs' Shrine and be worshiped by people day and night.
After the seven brothers finished worshipping, they came out of the martyr's shrine. Subsequently, high-level figures on Qishan Island, such as Cui Zhaorong, Hu Shuiyang, Jiang Wuniang, Fan Jinchun, Zhai Xiaoshan, etc., entered the Martyrs' Shrine in turn to worship the dead heroes.
After about two hours, everyone took turns to worship and went back to work.
Cao Deshun, who was watching the ceremony outside, said to Wang Mingjun: "Brother Wang, they are really smart! By building this martyr's shrine, they will win the hearts of all the people on the island, and these people will follow them with all their hearts in the future. ”
"Yes, if we are in Jinghu, these untouchables will die when they die, and most of them will be exposed to the wilderness and eaten clean by crows and wild dogs, who will care about them. Some time ago, the army of the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Jinghu area, burned and looted all the way, did all the bad things, produced countless displaced people, and starved to death! I have limited financial resources, and I can only save very few people, and I am ashamed to think about the desperate eyes of those homeless! ”
"Brother Wang, you have done a good job, if it weren't for you, most of these thousands of people would have died, and it would be impossible for them to come here alive. In the future, they will be well taken care of here, and they will not be displaced anymore. ”
"Brother Cao, if it weren't for your full help, I wouldn't be able to support it at all! The temporary camp you set up outside Jinling City has accommodated nearly 10,000 displaced people, and you are the greatest hero! ”
