Chapter 88: Lao Zhang and his Dongxing restaurant
Seeing this, Su Zedong felt that the five people could just get together at a table, thinking that in recent months, everyone has been busy with work matters, and every time they meet, they are in a meeting and a meeting, which is very serious, and there is a lack of communication between each other in life.

And the last time everyone ate was back at the banquet held by Zhang Shicheng more than two months ago, but that time I was worried that it was a "Hongmen banquet", or I was afraid that Xiang Feng would take the opportunity to cheat, so I didn't eat very happily, and there were not many opportunities to talk in the middle, and I couldn't tell the truth, I could only say some dispensable nonsense and falsehood!
It just so happens that several taverns on West Street are welcoming the people and farmers who are tired from a day's work, and when they eat, they can also have the opportunity to contact and understand their deepest feelings of the people living at the bottom of the society.
A few people summed it up, and planned to go to the second tavern on West Street to eat, and it was Xiao Qi'er who made this suggestion, and girls always have a lower resistance to the temptation of food than men.
Xiao Qi'er proposed to go to the tavern, mainly because the decoration of the shop was good, and the shop that helped take care of the tavern demolished the old house that was rarely used after obtaining the consent of the members of the ghost soldiers who lived in the house, and then expanded the area of the tavern along the entire area of the east room.
The shopkeeper of the tavern also gave the tavern a name called Dongxing, which means that it echoes with Dongzhen Company, and the employees invited are like a girl like a flower, and there are also strong men who are tall enough to be able to take charge alone, and there are two groups of people who cook rice and stir-fry vegetables, but they are all middle-aged people, and the shopkeeper said, so the arrangement is exquisite.
According to the old saying, this girl is not suitable for showing her head in an ordinary tavern, and she is easy to cause trouble and misfortune; But for the wealthy and wealthy families, there is another saying, saying that after the combination of yin and yang, it is conducive to the wealth of the tavern, and let them do some fine work in the tavern, which is practical.
And there are strong men, naturally serving tea and water to the guests to maintain law and order; However, now the most powerful person in Gaoyou City is Su Zedong, and Su Zedong is a good official and a big official who asks for the people's life, and the security of Gaoyou City is naturally trustworthy under his control.
These strong men also need to help move things every day, wipe down tables and chairs, and send those drunk rich and noble families home when necessary, of course, ordinary people and poor people are okay, who makes their owner Su Zedong, a good person, and does not engage in double standards.
"Lao Zhang! Here we go. ”
Before she stepped into the door of the tavern, Xiao Qi'er shouted with a smile.
Called by a little girl like this, the shopkeeper didn't mind, he didn't have a wife or children at his age, he had been working hard and wandering outside for so many years, boatmen, fishermen, selling salt, grain, everything he had done, but he had been living alone.
But since taking over the tavern, according to Lao Zhang's own experience and the requirements of Su Dadong's family, after decorating the tavern and reducing the price of food and wine, it has really been sought after by many people, especially Xiao Qi'er, who is also loved by the management of Dongzhen Company.
Xiao Qier's innocence, lively and cheerful and witty and enlightened, so that the old Zhang who is more than half a hundred years old is deeply moved and inspired, every day is full of fighting spirit, and also made some achievements, the monthly turnover is always the highest, I believe that within three months, it will become the most popular and profitable shop in Gaoyou City.
"Ouch, Xiao Qi'er is here! Oops, what's going on today? Hall Master Su and Deputy Hall Master Liu are also here! Come on, come on, sit down, sit down! ”
Hearing Xiao Qi'er call like this, Lao Zhang, who was still checking the accounts at the counter, hurriedly ran over the counter to greet her, and when he saw that the entourage was a few big people, he said with a smile on his face.
According to Lao Zhang's instructions, Su Zedong and the others sat down after finding a good position from the crowd in the tavern.
Su Zedong asked with a smile on his face: "Lao Zhang, your business here is good!" ”
Lao Zhang smiled from ear to ear, twisted his old face, and replied: "Oh, so-so, isn't that it!" By the way, if you want to eat something, I'll go and get it for you. ”
Liu Zhenming looked around and found that there were people all around, which aroused his curiosity and said, "Lao Zhang, what delicious food do you have here!" I don't think any of your seats are empty here, and if it weren't for a few of us, someone might have occupied this good seat! Tell me what's delicious. ”
Lao Zhang smiled again and showed his little black teeth, and replied: "We don't actually have any special dishes, they are all common side dishes for wine; But there are many varieties, this chef will cook a variety of dishes, spicy, sweet, salty, sour, sweet and sour are also very easy to sell, Xiao Qier likes it very much. ”
Hearing the sweet and sour dishes, Xiao Qi'er nodded again and again.
Seeing this, Su Zedong smiled and said: "Hehe, then according to Xiao Qi'er, who generally likes to eat those here, give it to me, we are all big and coarse, and we don't pay attention to food, so let's come together tonight to have a lively scene." ”
Lao Zhang understood Su Zedong's consciousness, so he didn't ask much, and hurriedly walked to the kitchen by himself, and arranged for the chefs in the kitchen to serve the dishes according to the sweet and sour tastes that girls like, and at the same time, he also took into account that Su Zedong likes to drink, and he is still a master who is not drunk with a thousand cups, and specially arranged a few salted dishes as appetizers, which will be served together.
While waiting for the food, Su Zedong asked Liu Zhenming to report on the progress of scientific research, and there was no problem with the research and development of artillery, and in a few days it would be possible to enter the debugging stage of actual combat, just 300 firearms, which only took a month to make, too hurried, too tight, and the preparation of materials would be insufficient!!
Su Zedong said that this is not much of a problem, as long as the artillery research and production are done, the people above will not pursue these problems, at least Zhang Shicheng can pass the pass, only if the Gaoyou City is guarded, the people will have an explanation, and there will be a reasonable explanation for Dongzhen Company and themselves.
Then it was Zhang Dexing's turn to report his work, according to his words, Xiang Feng's life in recent months has become more restrained and tight, Xiang Feng's young master who used to be in Xiang's house and in Gaoyou City is now living at home all day long, and according to effective intelligence, this person often uses alcohol to kill his sorrows.
It's really a bad life, but there is no direct evidence that this person has no abnormal movements, and there is no actual basis, this person has cut off contact with the group of people who eat people and don't spit out bones, which is what attracted the vigilance of Su Zedong and others.
A person who grew up eating wolf milk will not easily let go of the great opportunity to make profits, let alone let go of the person who made him spit out the bones in his mouth!
And just as everyone was chatting jubilantly, there was a discordant commotion outside the door of the smaller tavern.
