Seeing that Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong were about to step forward, the guy who was so frightened that he hurriedly trotted outside the private room and reported to the inside with a trembling voice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhang 。。。。。。 My lord, Lord Qin is here。。。。。。 Finish. ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, he heard a sound in the private room.

With this kung fu, Qin Chuan also saw clearly that the two Korean samurai standing outside the door of the private room were not hanging on their waists, but a Korean ring knife, although the two knives were very similar in appearance, but there were still some obvious differences, and the Korean ring knife body was more curved.

After only a while, Zhang Shiheng, who was full of smiles, opened the door and led Li He and a middle-aged man wearing a purple dark flower brocade Zhou dress and a short and fat bun with high hair to welcome him out of the private room.

The short and fat middle-aged man, Qin Chuan had seen it when he was in the school field, and knew that this was Min Chengjun, but because he was far away in the school field, Qin Chuan only saw Min Chengjun's general appearance clearly, but he didn't look carefully, and when he was close, he was a little surprised after seeing Min Chengjun's appearance clearly.

In Qin Chuan's imagination, since this Min Chengjun is the supervisor of the Internal Affairs Office of the Korean royal family, it should be a eunuch, but although this Min Chengjun is short and fat, he has a high throat and a heavy beard, although he can't be said to be magnificent, but he is also a dignified man, he is clearly a normal man, he is not a eunuch, how can he be the supervisor of the North Korean Internal Affairs Office?

Grandma's, could it be that this Zhang Shiheng is lying to Lao Tzu?

Zhang Shiheng didn't know what Qin Chuan was thinking, and introduced Qin Chuan to Min Chengjun with a smile on his face, but Min Chengjun was extremely humble, without any ******** posture, and warmly greeted Qin Chuan.

At the beginning, Qin Chuan was still a little uncomfortable, not only because Min Chengjun was an outsider, nor just because of the other party's title of the head of the Joseon royal house, but always entangled in whether Min Chengjun was a eunuch.

However, Qin Chuan and Min Chengjun exchanged pleasantries for a while, and slowly figured out that North Korea is now a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, and all the etiquette of the Korean royal family can only be compared with the prince of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise it is arrogance.

The Qing Dynasty was the suzerainty of Korea, and the status of the Korean royal family in the Qing Dynasty was actually the status of the governor of a province in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the governor of the province with the least power. It is said that Yuan Shikai, the minister of trade and commerce of the DPRK Prime Minister stationed in Korea in the Qing Dynasty, has extremely high authority in Korea.

The king of Korea is like this to Yuan Shikai, if he is in front of Li Hongzhang, the head minister of Beiyang, then the king of North Korea has to look up.

In other words, this Min Chengjun's officialdom in the Qing Dynasty is almost the butler of a provincial governor, at most he is equivalent to an official in charge of a provincial province of money and grain. From this point of view, this Min Chengjun is indeed nothing.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's mentality gradually stabilized.

Zhang Shiheng asked Qin Chuan to enter the room, and asked the guy to take Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong to the private room next door for tea, and he himself led Qin Chuan into the private room to talk.

I don't want to, because there are two Koreans standing on both sides of the door of the private room like stone statues, Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong just refused to leave, and they wanted to stay outside the door, but under the urging of Qin Chuan, the two of them entered the private room next door 10,000 reluctantly.

Zhang Shiheng led everyone into the private room, Zhang Shiheng naturally sat in the main seat, pulled Qin Chuan to sit on his left side, Li He and Min Chengjun sat on Zhang Shiheng's right side, and the two maids who had been waiting in the private room for a long time were dressed in North Korean pink skirts and stood quietly behind Min Chengjun.

Zhang Shiheng's private room is very large, the room is very spacious, directly opposite are two carved window lattices inlaid with glass, and there are antique shelves full of walls on both sides of the wall, on which there are many antiques such as dings, bottles, and incense burners.

When Qin Chuan hosted Zhang Shiheng at a banquet last time, Zhang Shiheng told him that these antiques were fakes.

It is slightly different from the last time Qin Chuan came, the original four corners of the room were placed in each of the four corners of a bronze wax table nearly two meters high, at this time the countertop on the wax table has been lit thick red Western candles, there are forty or fifty candles, the private room is reflected in the light, the four walls of the wooden wall brushed with tung oil in the candlelight, flashing swaying light, making the room look graceful and luxurious, very affectionate.

The wine and food were ordered by Zhang Shiheng a long time ago, and as soon as Qin Chuan arrived, Zhang Shiheng loudly ordered the men to serve the food.

The first ones to come up are eight cold dishes, which are red oil spicy belly shreds, salted duck shreds, sweet and sour lotus roots, cold sea cucumbers, honey yam, raw arowana intestines, fragrant stings, vinegar and bitter gourd slices.

These eight cold dishes are extremely exquisite, not only meat and vegetarian, the dishes are elegant and light, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are complete, the most rare thing is that these eight cold dishes are divided into five colors, red, white, green, green, black; There are five kinds of flavors, numb, spicy, sweet, salty, and bitter. Obviously, Zhang Shiheng put a lot of thought into this banquet.

Taking advantage of the time to serve the food, Zhang Shiheng apologized and explained to Qin Chuan why he had set the room on the second floor here.

It turned out that all the rooms on the third floor and most of the private rooms on the second floor were set by Japanese foreign companies, and I don't know that these Orientals don't go to so many Japanese restaurants in the concession today, but they prefer to hold some kind of celebration here, and there are only three rooms left on the second floor, because the second room is slightly larger, so Zhang Shiheng chose this one.

As for the drink, it is the North Korean specialty shoju brought by Min Sung-joon, which is extremely delicately decorated, at least in this period, and is served in fine porcelain bottles that resemble modern curved wine bottles.

In the room where the two maids poured wine for everyone, Zhang Shiheng told Qin Chuan with a smile.

"Ming Hong, in order to feast you, today for Brother and Brother Min is a lot of effort, this dish will not be said much, just say that this wine, this is the wine in the palace of the Joseon Dynasty, called siu so, in North Korea, this roast is forbidden to be brewed by the people, only the royal family can drink this wine. It is said that this shochu was introduced to Korea in the Yuan Dynasty, made of barley, sweet potatoes and rice, and obtained by steaming three times, although the degree is not very high, it can be refreshing and pure, sweet and delicious, but it is also a rare thing. ”

Min Chengjun stood up with a smile on his face: "Lord Qin, Xiaguan has always admired Chinese customs, and is very close to the Qing Dynasty, in North Korea, not only with Yuan Weiting Yuan, who is in Beijing in disadvantages, but also with Lord Zhang and Master Li for many years. ”

"I just don't want to, as soon as I met Master Zhang, Lord Zhang praised Lord Qin for being young and promising, making money in a good way, comparable to Tao Zhugong in the world, which made the officials extremely admired. There is also today's school field, and Xiaguan is fortunate to see Lord Qin's heroic and powerful skills, which makes Xiaguan admire him even more. It is an honor to be able to drink with Lord Qin again today. ”

Min Chengjun said, turned around and took a slender mahogany box carved with patterns from the hand of the woman behind him and handed it to Qin Chuan.

"Lord Qin, when we meet for the first time, it is not a respect, it is just a little Korean specialty, and I hope Lord Qin will accept it with a smile."

The first time they met, they turned down the other party's gift, and this was not done by the guests, not to mention, this wooden box turned out to be made of mahogany, and the things inside must be worth a lot of money, and Qin Chuan was not polite, so he smiled and took it in his hand.

It's just that Qin Chuan secretly weighed it in his hand, but he didn't feel very pressed with the exquisite wooden box, and muttered in his heart: "I don't know what is in here?" ”

"Brother Min, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Qin will be ashamed."

Seeing that Qin Chuan was unpretentious and happily accepted his gift, Min Chengjun couldn't help but be very happy, and picked up the wine glass full of burnt wine.

"Lord Qin is arrogant, the lower officials first salute Lord Qin, it has become a tribute."

Seeing that Min Chengjun's words were sincere, without the arrogance of a high-ranking official of the foreign domain, Qin Chuan also stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Min, Brother Chu Bao has always cared for Qin, and naturally there are many false praises in his words, and Qin is embarrassed. Although today is the first meeting, it can be seen that the slight knowledge, enough to feel the kindness of Brother Min, Brother Min and my two brothers have the old, then we are also brothers, today our brothers get together, how can you and I drink alone, come, this first glass of wine let's drink together. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Shiheng saw that Qin Chuan and Min Chengjun had a good conversation, and couldn't help but be very happy, the first to call out, Zhang Shiheng and Li He also got up and picked up their wine glasses, and the four of them laughed and drank it all.

This roasted wine is worthy of the Korean royal family, the entrance is fresh and sweet, the degree is not high, according to the feeling of Qinchuan, it should be about 20 degrees, the only deficiency is that under the fine taste, there is a little sourness.

Next, under the persuasion of Zhang Shiheng, several people tasted the dishes with exquisite workmanship and different tastes and colors, while pushing the cups and changing the lamps, chatting and drinking。。。。。。
