Chapter 161: Left and Right (Part II)

Since the day the Great Qing Kingdom poured the seedlings, there have been more things in Sijiu City that ordinary people couldn't see in the past.

Needless to say, the eunuch who was called out of the palace wall can't be picked up, the hand can't be lifted, what craftsmanship won't be left aside for the time being, and there is a piece of stuff missing from the crotch, even if he wants to point to the line of serving people to find something to eat, but in these serious people in the city, who would dare to use the eunuch of the previous dynasty as a broken urge?

There were still a few people with their own money in their waists, so they hurriedly touched a room to stay, pointing to the money that put the seal to eat interest and survive. There are few eldest sons in hand, either they have drilled the grave in Dingfuzhuang, or they have become beggars in Huaziwo, holding their treasure boxes in hunger and cold, and living one day at a time.

And the master who has a craft by his side, after being driven out of the palace, can rely on this craft that has served the emperor to exchange for abundant food and clothing.

There is a painter from the palace, a pen and a piece of paper poking a stall on the street, a glance at the patron's house to paint a portrait, a cup of tea, the first portrait on the rice paper has been written, more than the photo taken by the foreigner's camera, a little more energetic! After a year and a half of hard work, the ocean saved in his waist was enough to buy and sell a portrait gallery at the front door.

There is the style of the plaything, and when it is called out of the palace, it is not good to do anything, but it is just to cover the muntjac skin, agate knife, and amber mallet used to polish the plaything. There are large families who have treasures handed down from the old generation that need to be picked up and repaired, and with these things that are picked up, a trip to work can be chewed and wrapped by a family for two months!

There is also the cook who came out of the imperial dining room, and his front feet just walked out of the gate of the Great Red Palace, and there was already a four-wheeled carriage waiting outside the door. They are also thinking about trivial things such as settling their families and struggling to get by, and the big shopkeepers of the Bada Spring and Bada Residences have long prepared a set of quiet courtyards for the cooks who came out of the imperial dining room to settle down their families, and they also have a deed of one percent of their shares. Just wait for the diligent master who came out of the imperial dining room to take it to the door!

And like the courtyard house in front of me, which is numbered eight small pots, the main family was in the imperial kitchen back then, and when he was doing chores on weekdays, he had a glance and a little bit of stealing from the master to learn some cooking skills, and he was quite passable in terms of eating and looking, but when he really cared about it, the master of the eight small pots made dishes with one hand. But it is not in Shandong, Guangdong, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hui these eight cuisines, serious is a wild fox Zen road. Where did you go to a restaurant to find a job as a cook, but because of the identity of a miscellaneous family and an empty man, people were thrown out!

It is estimated that he is forced to be cornered, and he can't watch the first few people in the family starve to death, so this broken character simply cleaned up his own courtyard out of a bright room, and then changed the appearance of the stove, which also opened the scene to start his own restaurant business on the wild fox Zen Road.

Maybe it's because it was Lu, Guangdong, Hunan and Sichuan. The serious restaurants of the eight major cuisines of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Hui were heartbroken, and this broken person simply gave his restaurant a name of eight small pots. One day, I will accept the purchase and sale of a table of banquets, and I will not ask the guests to order food, what to eat, and the guests can only book an hour to come again, and never accept the guests who come to the door!

Doing business in Sijiu City has always paid attention to harmony and wealth. If there is really a dispute with the guest who comes to the door, then it is reasonable to have to give up another three points, but no one has ever seen this master who does business and takes corrections?

It's weird. This number of buying and selling roads that are green or red and willing to take the bait really caters to the appetite of many gourmets in Sijiu City. From the very beginning, there were three or five times a month. The number of sales roads after half a year was paid to the order, but it took a year to work.

There are also characters who rely on two in their waists and can talk on the scene and want to break the rules of these eight small pots, and ask someone to hand over a two-finger-wide note, saying that they have to feast in the eight small pots tonight.

But the person in charge of the eight small pots didn't lift his eyelids, and stretched out his hand to fill the stove with the two-finger-wide strip. Before the attendant who came to hand over the slip revealed his identity, Shi Shiran had already walked in the courtyard with a few brightly dressed diners. And some of them laughed and went into the room where the feast was held.

If you look at it carefully, the attendant who handed over the slips in the eight small pots can only go back and explain to his master - the master who booked tonight's banquet in the eight small pots happens to be your top boss, the God of Wealth grandfather. It doesn't matter if you clean up a small pot, but you have to make your top boss, Grandpa the God of Wealth, unhappy

After that day, Sensei said that he would come to eat eight small pots, but he was afraid that it would be a mouthful of multigrain and eight porridge. You can't drink it either, do you?

That is, relying on these high-powered, wealthy gourmets in Sijiu City, the business of the eight small pots that the wishers took the bait was actually done smoothly. Even if the high-ranking officials in the government of the Republic of China want to come to this realm for dinner, they have to pay the subscription money and wait for the date according to the rules, or they have to pay a greater price to buy this table of banquets at a high price from the people who have paid the subscription money early. Maybe the master who pays for a meal in a place like Baxiaoguo, so who cares about those little money?

Since he received the post of going to the banquet in eight small pots, Scar Ye has muttered in his heart.

Even if Scar Ye is good, he can be regarded as the number one person on the street, but Zuo is just a material that makes a dung head in the Nancheng Cattle and Horse Market, and he can't be on the table if he breaks the sky. In the past, someone wanted to ask the scar master to appreciate his face and do something that couldn't see the light of day, and he was dead to find a secret door to buy eight dishes with four cold and four hot, and then scald a few pots of Hengshui Lao Baigan with his hands, and when the wine was hot, he explained what he wanted to do with the scar master, and then pushed the ocean of twenty yuan from the kang mat, and it was almost all work!

But he didn't stare at it, and he took a red-bottomed gold-painted driving post, and the realm where he made an appointment to meet was still a small pot patronized by dignitaries and nobles on weekdays

If you want to say that Scar Ye doesn't mutter in his heart, this is really lifting Scar Ye!

Seeing the old mother who greeted the door and let herself into the house, Master Scar hesitated slightly, but he lowered his voice and said to the old mother who greeted the door: "This master who is having a treat today, who is the person in Sijiu City?" ”

Still with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, the old mother who greeted the door replied softly: "Back to your words, Master Scar, we will have a banquet in our eight small pots today." It is Nan Mu Ennan, who is an antique shop in Sijiu City. The post in your hand has already left the name of Nan Muen Nanye, I'm afraid you didn't look carefully? ”

Shoved the two-finger-wide piece in his hand into the pocket of the cotton robe, but Scar Ye raised his legs and walked towards the house without care: "Scar Master, I can't read at all!" The broken reminder that sent the post was like a ghost hitting his heels, so he said that he had a meal in Baxiaopot today, and he didn't wait for me to ask a few more words, and he ran away."

The words are not finished. The heavy curtain hanging on the door of the house was gently lifted, and Nan Muen, who was wearing a blue flower coat, had already greeted him with a smile on his face, and stood sideways by the door to lift the heavy curtain for Scar: "Scar, I've been waiting for you here!" ”

Looking at Nan Muen's posture of picking up the curtain and waiting for people, Scar Ye suddenly clasped his fists with both hands, and raised his voice towards Nan Muen: "Nan Ye, I am a broken reminder on the streets of Sijiu City, but I can't wait for you like this!" ”

With a smile on her face, Nan Muen once again owed her body: "Scar Ye's words are too humble!" There are five elements and eight works in the four or nine cities. Which line of big people and palms are not easily given for nothing! Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, my Nan Muen is asking for a scar today, if I owe everything in terms of etiquette, then it is really my Nan Muen's! Scar, please! ”

Leaning over half of his body, Scar Ye had just flashed into the room where a table of eight immortals was placed, and suddenly felt a wave of heat rushing to his face. Raising his eyes and looking at the half-inch chimneys that protruded slightly from the three walls of the room, Scar Ye suddenly sighed in a low voice: "Ho, just rely on these three chimneys through the wall." I can warm this room as if it were baking on a small stove, and I am really willing to put a lot of effort into it. Particular! ”

also flashed into the house, Nan Muen looked at the admiring look on Scar Ye's face, and immediately pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, but he still had a smile on his face: "The person in charge of these eight small pots was also the master who passed by and saw in the palace back then." If you want to talk about the careful thinking of serving people, that person in Sijiu City must also be regarded as the number one person! Scar. It's hot in this room, and you're wearing a seat? ”

didn't say too much politeness to Nan Muen, Scar Ye pulled down the new cotton robe wrapped around his body, put it on the back of the chair on the main seat, and sat on the main seat with a big grin: "Nan Ye." You can't be more polite with me! There is a big scene in Niuma Market in the south of the city, and I have to hurry to manage it. What do you have to say? ”

Da Heng sat beside Scar, but Nan Muen was not in a hurry to watch the old mother who greeted the door in the eight small pots with a tray and sent in four cold dishes, and then put a pot of hot lotus white on the table of the Eight Immortals, and then smiled and arched his hand towards Scar: "Scar Ye is a happy person, then I won't delay Scar's kung fu!" Two things, one is that the dishes made in these eight small pots are quite authentic, and they are rare to eat in ordinary seasons, so I invited Master Scar to come over and taste them together! Second, when I came to the scene in the cattle and horse market in the south of Ming'er City, I had to ask the scar master to reach out and help my brother to support the bottom! ”

Stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a few pieces of lamb head meat that were as thick as paper and threw them into his mouth, Scar Ye chewed the fragrant lamb head meat with taste, and looked at Nan Muen with slanted eyes: "Nan Ye, this is embarrassing for me!" As far as I, the master of night incense in the cattle and horse market, can I give you the support of these famous people in Sijiu City? ”

Picking up the wine jug, Nan Muen diligently filled a glass of lotus white for Scar Ye, and then poured a glass of wine for himself, and then picked up the cup and smiled at Scar Ye: "This wine and food are all up, and we are not short of work for such a while." Master Scar, would you like to taste this lotus white first? This has to be shown in front of you, this lotus white is what I brought from my own home, and it has been hidden under the laurel tree in the garden for ten years. ”

Seeing that Nan Muen drank all the wine in the cup first, and scarred the scar who picked up the wine glass early, he happily drank the hot lotus white in one gulp, and sighed heavily: "Authentic!" The things in this big family's house are different from those that can be bought with money outside! ”

Carrying the wine jug again to fill a glass of wine for Scar Ye, Nan Muen only waited until the old mother in the eight small pots had all the dishes and exited the house, and then he whispered and laughed at Scar Ye, who had already drunk three or five glasses: "Scar Master, although it is the first time for us to meet each other today, but Scar Ye's name"

Waving the chopsticks in his hand, Scar Ye interrupted Nan Muen's scene very unceremoniously: "Nan Ye, what you said is boring!" If you are such a high-ranking person who lives in a big family, if I can really get my name to your ears, it will really have to wait until the sun hits the west! What's there? You opened up and said, I'm here to answer you! ”

Throwing his hand towards Scar, who was waving chopsticks and eating seas, Nan Muen bent down and grabbed a small blue cloth bag placed under the table of the Eight Immortals, and gently put it on the table: "Scar, can you take a look at this first?" ”

Glancing at the small blue cloth burden that was only the size of two fists, Scar Ye dropped the head of his chopsticks and poked lightly at the small baggage: "I heard that Nan Ye is a master of antiques in Sijiu City." What's in this baggage? ”

Smiling and shaking his head, Nan Muen simply reached out to untie the small burden, and gently pushed the eight small yellow croakers in the burden towards the scar master who was shining in his eyes: "People say that the prosperity of antiques, troubled gold, although the world in front of me is not a big mess, but openly and secretly, it is really not so peaceful, antiques and other things, but you can't get a price, and you can move it out when you ask someone to do something." It's not that suitable! Master Scar, just these few things, will you keep them first? ”

Reaching out and pinching a small yellow croaker, Scar Ye took his front teeth and bit on the little yellow croaker, and then looked at the clear tooth marks on the little yellow croaker, but gently put the little yellow croaker back into the baggage: "Nanye, such a big price, you can buy dozens of lives in Sijiu City!" I'm just a night incense seller in a cattle and horse market. I'm afraid I have the life to take this money, but I don't have the life to spend it, right? ”

Pinch the small bar in your hand. Nan Muen shook his head: "Master Scar, this matter is really nothing!" You should know the scene of Ssangyong gambling in the Minger Cattle and Horse Market. You don't need to do anything else, there's a packet of medicine foam here, you just want to sprinkle this thing into the bullpen running round in the cattle and horse market at the main entrance of the old fire! ”

Squinting at the other small burden that Nan Muen picked up from under the table, Scar Ye put the chopsticks in his hand towards the table. He sneered and said to Nan Muen: "Nanye, in the scene of the double dragon gambling in Sijiu City, how many people are betting on their entire wealth to make a fortune, you should know?" Don't talk about the gossip, just the five or six days of work. You may not know how many people have come to the Niuma Market and how many eyes are staring, but I can see it clearly in my eyes! If I answer your errand, I guess I haven't spilled this medicine yet, and my head will fall to the ground! Nanye, I thank you for your hospitality, and I'm leaving! ”

didn't stop the scar master who stood up and wanted to leave, Nan Muen said with a low smile: "Look at the six roads, listen to the eight directions!" Master Scar, are you really the master of the scene?! It's just that you haven't seen it these days, the characters in the scene in this Sijiu City are gathering in Niuma Market to show their faces, but the people who go are all those who have made big bets on the main gate of the old fire? ”

Suddenly stopped, Scar Ye half-turned around, squinted his eyes and looked at Nan Muen: "Nan Ye, what else is there to say here?" ”

Putting the wine glass he was holding in his hand towards the table, Nan Muen suppressed his voice and said with a low smile: "In these forty-nine cities, it doesn't matter if it is an official figure or a hero on the underworld, it has always been an iron country and a flowing water!" If you go the right way and get on the right boat, you can turn a sparrow into a phoenix. But if you tie the wrong pile and follow the wrong master, then the real gold will have to turn brass! Scar Master, who has the upper hand in the Sijiu City in front of you, you really can't see it? ”

The scars on his face twitched fiercely, and Scar Ye turned his head and sat back on the chair, and hugged his fist towards Nan Muen, who seemed to be confident: "Nanye, do you advise?" ”

Taking a sip of the mellow lotus white, Nan Muen gently put down the small wine cup in his hand, and counted it with his fingers: "The characters walking in the scene in this Sijiu City can really follow their words, and the left is just foreigners, officials, wealthy families, and underworlds." And this first-class person who can do things is naturally a foreigner! Master Scar, you must know that in this scene of the double dragon betting, you are poked behind the main gate of Xinhuo, but the chief steward of the Great Japan Kingdom in Sijiu City?! ”

Nodding slightly, Scar Ye replied in a deep voice: "I've heard about this before!" ”

Stretching out his hand and patting it lightly on the table, Nan Muen responded with a somewhat smug smile: "That Duan Ye on the official face also has to give Xinhuo Zhengmen some face, you should also be a doorman in this matter?" There is also Sai Qin Qiong Saiye walking on the street, who is also busy helping the main gate of Xinhuo at this time, and I guess this can't hide your ears from Scar Ye? ”

Looking at Scar's frowning and contemplative appearance, Nan Muen lost no time in grabbing the wine jug placed beside him and pouring a full glass of wine for Scar: "In this scene of Shuanglong betting, foreigners, officials, and characters on the underworld are all working hard for Xinhuo's main gate, you say that in this meeting, who else can really fight with them in this ring?" If you think about it again, you have to pay the subscription half a year in advance to eat the eight small pots of noodles, why are we so coincidental that we can sit here on this day? Isn't that the seat given up by the great families in Sijiu City? ”

Putting down the wine jug in his hand, Nan Muen stretched out three fingers and pinched the small wine glass in front of him, and gently touched the wine glass in front of Scar: "Scar, you can see that my Nan Muen can still pretend to be a person in Sijiu City and wander around, but in this matter, I am just an errand and mouth-selling character!" The gossip on the side said, if you can deal with this matter, then in the future, among the characters walking on the streets in Sijiu City, there must be a name for your scar, maybe the scene of the cattle and horse market in the south of the city will be returned to the bag and put it in your pocket! But if you feel embarrassed to drink this glass of wine, you can lift your legs and leave, and we will not be able to deal with it! In the future, when I met in Sijiu City, the official dealt with him in private, and I was afraid that I would have to come to find the scar master often! ”

Raising his eyes to look at the somewhat cruel smile on Nan Muen's face, and then looking down at the eight little yellow croakers and a pack of medicinal noodles on the table, Scar Ye grabbed the eight small yellow croakers and the bag of medicinal noodles with a hard slap: "Nan Ye, please be okay!" (To be continued......)
