Chapter 24: In the Box

After Xiao Zhuozi handed over the horse to the little maid in Qingfeng Building, he quickly followed Jing Zetian into Qingfeng Building, followed by Ruhua, who had restored his quiet beauty, and Qiu Xiang, who had a sad face.

Qiu Xiang was really embarrassed by Jing Zetian's words, is it more comfortable to ride His Royal Highness than to ride a bull? Although I am very curious, I don't dare to really ride His Highness, hey, it's so difficult. Akika, who was full of curiosity, thought bitterly.

As soon as Jing Zetian entered the Qingfeng Building, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper of the Qingfeng Building found him in the crowd of people entering and leaving the Qingfeng Building, after all, there were still a lot of people who came to eat.

The shopkeeper trotted to Jing Zetian, bowed down and said: "Little Qian Duoduo, our steward Zhen has already arranged, your box is on the second floor, there were already two guests waiting there before, you didn't come, the small one only served a few hors d'oeuvres, waiting for you to come." ”

"Yo, you recognized me when I first came, you've seen me before?" Jing Zetian asked curiously, and at the same time thought that it was not for nothing that the Zhen family's business was so powerful, and with the eyesight of this subordinate, it would not be too bad.

"Hehe, you have been to Qingfeng Building a few times, although the number of times is not much, but the villain still deeply remembers your appearance, so as not to know you." The shopkeeper said generously, because Zhen Hongwen had already reminded him before, when there were many people, he couldn't call Jing Zetian's identity, and if there was an accident in the province, people from other palaces would generally do the same when they left the palace, and they would not easily reveal their identities.

Jing Zetian obviously knew the reason, so he didn't ask much, and said directly: "Then it's bothering the money shopkeeper." ”

Qiu Xiang and the others on the side are standing behind Jing Zetian at the moment, and when outsiders are around, they are still very well-behaved, especially Qiu Xiang.

Jing Zetian and the others followed the shopkeeper onto the wooden stairs and walked towards the second floor, Qingfeng Lou Jing Zetian had been here many times.

The first floor of Qingfeng Building is the hall, the windows around are relatively large, under the sunlight, the whole hall is very bright, and the windows are hung with white curtains, so that the sunlight shining into the restaurant is not too dazzling. There are about 30 large and small tables in the hall, which are basically full at the moment, and a few juniors are hurriedly serving, cleaning the tables, and greeting guests, and they are very busy.

"Money shopkeeper, your business here is good." Jing Zetianqian shopkeeper pulled homely.

"Hehe, it's okay, after all, our Zhen family's Qingfeng Building still enjoys a reputation in Hua'an City." The money shopkeeper said modestly.

Qingfeng Lou has many homes in Hua'an City, after all, the area of Hua'an City is not small, and the number of restaurants is also very large.

In the casual conversation between the two, they soon arrived outside the box on the second floor.

"This 'Fu Tai room' is specially prepared for you by our steward, the environment and sound insulation effect are very good, it is convenient for you to eat and chat, today's meals are the best in our store, you can enjoy it today." The money shopkeeper said respectfully.

"Well, then there is the shopkeeper Lao, you go down first, we don't need to arrange people here." Jing Zetian commanded to the money shopkeeper.

"Well, the little one is going to be busy, you can just tell me if you have something." The money shopkeeper turned and left.

Jing Zetian subconsciously tidied up his clothes, which was his habitual action when he met customers in his previous life, but Jing Zetian's age and clothes at the moment matched his movements, which was obviously very incongruous. But he doesn't care about these inconsequential things.

Xiao Zhuozi saw that Jing Zetian was almost ready, so he opened the wooden door of the box for Jing Zetian, 'Futai Room' Jing Zetian came in for the first time, the walls of the entire box are decorated with calligraphy and paintings, wallpaper, because the main body is wooden, so it looks very charming with calligraphy and painting, there are several pots of flowers and plants in the box, and a balcony is also opened on one side of the box, but at the moment it is blocked by the screen, and Jing Zetian can't see the situation outside.

At this moment, the two people in the box saw Jing Zetian's arrival, and immediately got up from their seats (the seat is an extended version of the tiger bench, similar to the modern bench, but a little lower, refer to the murals of Mogao Grottoes) and greeted them.

"Presumably this is the young master of Steward Zhuo." One of them, a middle-aged man in a red robe, asked kindly.

"Well, it's down there, my name is Zhen Ze." Jing Zetian did not use his own name, which was also considered prudently.

"Well, Huang Lesong, a businessman in Xiaxingxiu County, next to me is Zhang Rang, a businessman from Qingquan County, and our intention must be that Steward Zhuo has already told Young Master Zhen." Huang Lesong said with a smile.

"Well, this time, the two of you are invited to come hard, mainly to discuss the matter of the wood workshop, let's not worry, sit down first, let's eat and chat." Jing Zetian said with a smile.

"Well, then you're welcome to wait." Zhang Rang on the side also responded.

"You guys also sit down, it's hard to come out once today, don't be restrained." Jing Zetian said to Xiao Zhuozi and the others. Worried that they would see outsiders here, they would be too restrained and dare not get off the table to eat, which is not what Jing Zetian wants to see.

"At the same time, he said to Huang Lesong and the others, don't mind the two of you, although these people are from my house, they work tirelessly every day and win the trust of the subordinates, so I brought them with me." Jing Zetian said politely to the two, after all, although these two are businessmen and have low status, they are still different from their subordinates.

These two obviously didn't mind, as businessmen, they still have a lot of eyesight, and they can see that Jing Zetian's attitude towards his subordinates is not ordinary, and it is not them who invite the owner today, and the owner is also their customer, combined with these factors, in a strict feudal society, they don't mind and said: "It's okay, Young Master Zhen is really benevolent to his subordinates." ”

While the two were talking, some cold dishes had been served one after another, obviously the shopkeeper knew Jing Zetian very well, and did not serve wine and tea, only some rice porridge to warm the stomach. As for what the two businessmen drink, it is not for the money shopkeeper to consider.

Since Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions, a lot of vegetables and fruits were introduced from various countries in the Western Regions, so that people's future food types and varieties were enriched, and to the present Dahua, more than 100 years have passed since the Han Dynasty, although the dishes are not as good as Jing Zetian's taste, the variety is novel, but some of the unique dishes of this era, Jing Zetian is still good to eat, he has been in the palace for several days to eat home-cooked food, occasionally come out to eat, but also a kind of adjustment to his body. In the palace, advocating frugality and eating a big meal of fish and meat For him, the prince, before Concubine Zhen became a noble lady, there were not many opportunities every month.
