"Interesting, very interesting, in that case, let's serve a few dishes!" Zhang Cheng stroked his palm and chuckled.

Xiao Er was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Okay, two guest officers, please wait a moment." ”

"I didn't expect that this little two is also quite good at sales, and he can still want to get away with it!" Thinking to himself, he shook his head with a chuckle on his face.

After half a pillar of incense, Xiao Er brought six side dishes, and after Zhang Cheng and Shishi tasted them one by one, they immediately frowned, and found that these dishes tasted average and could still be eaten, but they were far from reaching the level of a chef. As a high-end restaurant, these dishes are completely unqualified, so it is inevitable that the restaurant's business will be dismal. And the main problem is that these dishes are boiled in water, and a little salt is added casually.

Zhang Cheng then remembered that there was actually no stir-fried food in ancient China. Because Zhang Cheng's requirements for eating are not too high, he often eats some light meals in modern times, and has never considered this problem in other worlds, so he remembered that the basic cooking methods before the Six Dynasties were similar to those in Europe now, and it should not be until the Song Dynasty, and in its early period, it only existed in the Song capital Bianjing and Kaifeng, and it was the first unique activity of wine shops and restaurants.

Zhang Cheng looked at the clear soup that was similar to boiled water, and remembered that this ancient seasoning was really simple, especially the meat, which had almost no flavor, just boiled in water, and that's it. The only thing that surprised Zhang Cheng was that this soup was a little close, but not so viscous, similar to our beef soup and whitebait soup.

After thinking about it in his heart, he asked Xiao Er, "Now can you tell me who made these dishes?" ”

"Don't worry, guest officer, the gang will come in a while." Xiao Er is still pretending to be mysterious.

Zhang Cheng smiled knowingly, and ate a little more patiently. When the guests of the restaurant were almost gone, they saw a woman walking towards them. I saw that the woman was about twenty-seven or eight years old, with her hair combed in a bun, wearing a light blue dress, her eyebrows were clear and her eyes were very refined, although she was dressed plainly, her demeanor revealed a natural charm, and she was a young woman among typical mature women. (By the way, it is Zhang Cheng's ideal wife)

When Xiao Er saw the woman coming, he introduced to Zhang Cheng: "Two guest officers, this is the sister, and the current shopkeeper of this restaurant, and the chef of the two chefs!" ”

Hearing this, he was stunned for a while, and Zhang Cheng glanced at Shishi, revealing some disbelief between his eyebrows.

The woman smiled and said, "The two guest officers have been invited, Li Xiangyue of the slave family, I don't know what the two guest officers have ordered to invite the slave family?" ”

Zhang Cheng and Shishi also returned the salute, so Zhang Cheng asked: "I take the liberty to ask, shopkeeper Li, was you the shopkeeper before this restaurant?" ”

"No, the slave family has only been the shopkeeper for a short time." After a moment's hesitation, he replied.

"What about the cook?" Zhang Cheng then asked.

"It's okay, it's just that I worked as a kitchen helper before, but then everyone is gone, and the slave family can't be on top." Li Xiangyue said truthfully.

After hearing this, he was very surprised and said, "Oh, in this case, why did Shopkeeper Li stay?" ”

"This ......" Li Xiangyue looked embarrassed, and her words were half-down and finally swallowed back.

Feeling that this question was asked a little abruptly, Zhang Cheng could only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zhang is just curious, if Shopkeeper Li is inconvenient, he doesn't need to answer." ”

Li Xiangyue straightened her sideburns behind her ears, sighed and said: "Actually, it's nothing, the slave family is a woman's family, and she has no skills, and she is a widow, which restaurant dares to ask for it?!" He seemed to feel that there was no hope, and his face was very lonely, and he said, "It won't be long before this restaurant will close." ”

"So, does Shopkeeper Li have a place to go?" Seeing that Li Xiangyue seemed a little sad, Zhang Cheng stood up and asked him.

"Where to go?" Li Xiangyue was slightly stunned, and subconsciously glanced at the pedestrians outside the door, people came and went, and she didn't know where she could go, and then shook her head with a wry smile.

"Since Shopkeeper Li has nowhere else to go, why don't you come to my restaurant as a shopkeeper?" Zhang Cheng took two steps and asked him tentatively.

Probably shocked by Zhang Cheng's astonishing words, Li Xiangyue opened her mouth and was stunned for a while, even the expression of Xiao Er beside her was a sign, at this time she came to her senses, her expression was a little excited, and she hurriedly said: "The son wants the slave family to be the shopkeeper, don't you think the slave family is a widow?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng laughed, and just asked again: "Is Shopkeeper Li willing?" ”

Seeing that his sister was still hesitating, Xiao Er next to him preemptively said, "Of course I do, I don't know if this son still needs Xiao Er?" Xiao Ermao recommended himself, for fear of missing this opportunity.

"If Sister Ling agrees, there will be no problem." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Sister......!" Xiao Er called out and pulled Li Xiangyue again.

Seeing his younger brother, he finally couldn't bear it, and said: "If that's the case, then Xiang Yue is disrespectful." But I don't know where Childe's restaurant is? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng didn't answer, but went straight to the center of the hall and turned around, looked at the direction of the roof, and said loudly: "In the future, this restaurant will be surnamed Zhang." ”

"It turns out that Childe is the new owner of this restaurant?" You don't have to go to another restaurant, it's still a familiar place, Li Xiangyue asked with some excitement.

Zhang Cheng took out the title deed from his arms, unfolded it flat, and showed it to his sister and brother. Seeing that it was stamped with the seal of the government and the name of the head of the household did not seem to be fake, the last trace of doubt in the hearts of Li Xiangyue's sisters and brothers was all dispelled.

"It turns out that the name of the owner is Zhangcheng, but I don't know where the owner's mansion comes from?" As early as when the business of Yuelai Restaurant was not bad, I often heard that the guests mentioned the name of Zhang Cheng, which was very familiar, so there was a question.

"My home is in Fengzhou City!" Zhang Cheng said it very casually.

After hearing the confirmation, Li Xiangyue pointed at Zhang Cheng with one hand and trembled, and covered her red lips with the other, her beautiful eyes opened round and big, and her face was full of incredible color.

This Li Xiangyue's expression made Zhang Cheng full of confusion and incomprehension, so his eyes were full of expectation.

I don't know how long it took for Li Xiangyue to calm down her restless mood, and she took a few deep breaths and said: "Zhang Gongzi doesn't know, your song, the head of the water tune, is known to everyone in this imperial city. Especially the unique singing style of the childe, the land of fireworks is all competing to sing, so in this imperial city, your name has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even more than the eight princes! ”

"Really? Is this person you're talking about really me? Zhang Cheng pointed at himself, without the feeling of a celebrity, and had a trace of doubt about Li Xiangyue's statement, thinking that it was too exaggerated and not enough to believe.

In fact, Zhang Cheng really underestimated the influence of the song head, especially, although it is the ancient times of the parallel world, but many places and cultures are similar to the Song Dynasty in ancient times, Tang poetry and Song Ci are two pearls in the history of Chinese literature, the Tang Dynasty is known as the era of poetry, and the Song Dynasty is called the era of words.

The word originated from the folk, began in the Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Five Dynasties, and flourished in the Two Song Dynasty. The abundance of material life in the Song Dynasty made people's pursuit of cultural life more intense. The poets of the Tang Dynasty were mostly tools and playthings for the royal family and its rulers. The lyricists of the Song Dynasty have leapt onto the political stage from being appreciated by others, and have become the protagonists on the political stage of the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the emperor loved words, the ministers were all words, politicians Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi, etc. were all famous lyricists, and the female lyricist Li Qingzhao also became a generation of words, famous through the ages. The recognition and respect of the whole society have enabled Song Ci to emerge one after another and have a long-lasting influence.

And it also shows that Song Ci is the only major poetic genre comparable to Tang poetry. Song Ji Cheng Tang, as Mr. Lu Xun said, good poems have almost been written by the Tang people. In this way, in the Song Dynasty, it was indeed difficult for the Song people not to fall behind the heroic style of the Tang people in terms of poetry creation. However, the rich literary heritage left by the Tang people was not wasted by the Song people, but they were used more flexibly in this poetic style, so that the words achieved unprecedented development in the Song Dynasty.

And now the Great Zhou Dynasty is in good weather, the country is famous, and the emperor and ministers are all good poets. Therefore, Zhang Cheng's water tune song was dedicated to the Great Zhou Emperor by the people who voted for him, and the Great Zhou Emperor was very happy after reading it, and it was like a treasure. During the free period, when communicating with the subordinates, this word is the so-called good at the top, and the bottom will be very good, and the imitation must be imitated! Whether you are a talented and beautiful woman, or an ordinary man, you will also groan softly without illness.

The person in front of her turned out to be the famous genius Zhang Cheng, Li Xiangyue couldn't help but be complacent, but when she thought that she was a widow, the gap in identity made her feel very inferior. After secretly adjusting his mentality, he suggested to Zhang Cheng: "Childe, since you are now the new owner, the slave family suggests replacing the name of the original restaurant, which is more auspicious." ”

Hearing that the words were very reasonable, he nodded to him, tied his hands back, walked back and forth a few steps, and suddenly looked at this Li Xiangyue, raised his eyebrows, groaned slightly, and then said: "In this case, it is better to call it - Invite Yuelou!" ”
