Zhao Min plans to go out to eat at dinner time, it is rare to come to Linning, and he must try several famous places once, so as not to leave regrets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info didn't want Meng Hou to say that he was tired, so he used some vegetables and rice in the room at will, and didn't go with Zhao Min.

When he was greeting Shao Qi and the others and preparing to go out, they met Yue Ji, the young owner of Taiyue Tower. Zhao Minxin said that this was really a coincidence, and saw Yue Ji smiling and singing a fat song to a few people: "How many people are going out to find food?" Isn't it a local person, this is a city that doesn't dare to say that it knows a lot, but it is also unusual and comparable, or do you need to help introduce it below? ”

The other party showed enough kindness, and Zhao Min couldn't refuse people thousands of miles away. People say that there are only three things, and he and this Yue Shaodong have met three times in a row, and the other party has shown a twisted attitude towards it. After all, the other party's subordinates also control the huge hotel, although they are not noble in these years, but they are also rich people, and they don't know their own details, it is very rare to have this heart.

Zhao Min arched his hand and smiled: "We just want to go to the city and go to a well-known restaurant to find some food, it would be great if there was a Shaodong introduction!" ”

Yue Jiyi raised his eyebrows: "The so-called food is not tired of being fine, when it comes to food, there are probably very few people in this city who dare to say that they are more familiar than in Xia." There are hundreds of restaurants in this city, but there are few places that have not been tried. Therefore, if you have any needs, you can still comment on them below. ”

"Oh? Please also ask Shaodong to give us some advice! ”

Yue Ji laughed: "Your Excellency is polite." This is the capital city of Qingzhou, and since ancient times, celebrities have gathered, and they are also very particular about eating. To say that the taste of Linjing cuisine pays attention to light and tender, among which the first recommended giant carp, compared with the Yellow River carp, its meat quality is more delicate, the mouth is melting, and the diet in early spring is good. Its cooking method is sweet and sour first, followed by steaming, boiling soup again, when it is served in celadon utensils before eating, even Confucius has seven non-eating sayings; The second is the sea cucumber, selected Tatecheng seven-finger ginseng, through the hot and cold method of five hair and five shrinkage, fresh and crispy glutinous, with chives, stewed and blanched in broth, extraordinarily delicious, or cut into dices, with fungus, tofu together, fragrant and delicious; And Le'an small yellow croaker ......"

Yue Ji spoke so eloquently that everyone was dumbfounded. Shao Qi and the others are all far away cooks, and they never thought that they could be so particular about eating, but Zhao Min was surprised that there were such awesome foodies in this era! Looking at the appearance of this product, the cliff is the kind of character who can do whatever it takes to eat! In his thoughts, the food at that time was nothing more than boiling and baking, and the foodie said that it should be from the later generations after the diversification of cooking methods and ingredients, but it turned out that there were people who had devoted themselves to this way more than a thousand years ago. Everyone was already hungry, and when he said it, it aroused the gluttony in their stomachs, and they all opened their mouths wide for a while, as if saliva was about to flow down.

Yue Ji said that he had a bag of cigarettes, and when he had to stop and kick his breath, he suddenly saw Zhao Min and the others stunned, stopped his mouth suddenly, patted his head and said: "On a whim, it made you laugh." However, words really can't be as good as the food in case, it's better to be like this, please not meet by chance, I hope to be brave, today I will do the east from the next, take you to try it, I don't know how many people will be? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhao Min, Zhao Min saw that everyone was secretly enthusiastic, and thought that he and his party were going to find food anyway, so it would be okay for Yue Ji to take it. couldn't help but smile slightly, and bowed his hand to Yue Ji: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”

"The fourth master is wise!" Shao Qi took the lead in cheering, and everyone was excited. Zhao Min saw that everyone was happy and happy, so he said to Yue Ji: "Then it will be bothering Shaodong!" ”

"Where, where! Your Excellency is extraordinary, and it is an honor to do so. And let him lead the way before he bows. After speaking, he shook his robe, went out in a chic manner, and Zhao Min and the others happily followed suit.

Yue Ji took a group of people out, all the way through the streets and alleys, and he didn't know how many distances he walked, until half an hour later, he came to a small black alley. However, the houses here are low, and the sewage on the ground flows sideways, but it is not sparsely populated, but the flow in and out is endless.

Seeing the puzzled looks of Zhao Min and the others, Yue Ji explained with a smile: "This place is not unknown to locals, but it is the residence of several famous chefs and craftsmen in the early days, and they were cooked here for a few powerful people, and then they gradually became well-known, and they came here to seek food. Over time, the original name of this place has been unexaminable, and everyone is called the kitchen lane, which is a good place for steroids to eat first-class. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and followed Yue Ji to a dirty courtyard in the depths of the alley. Yue Ji stepped in first, and everyone followed. As soon as the servant entered the door, a wave of heat rushed in his face. But I saw that there were several sets of tables and chairs in the courtyard, and the crowd was crowded, and the seats were almost filled; There are several stoves in the middle of the room, and the fire is raging, and each stove has utensils such as tripods and kettles, all of which are smoking. In the smoke, coupled with the countless figures in the courtyard, it constitutes a living picture of all beings in the city!

Yue Ji led Zhao Min and others to find a table and chair where no one sat down, first went to the stove to tell the chef a few words, and then went to get the dishes and chopsticks to distribute to everyone, and then explained: "The business of the chef here is too good, and the people are too busy to do what they do." ”

Zhao Min doesn't mind, in his opinion, everyone in the world is equal, why should he mind whether the master or the inferior? But Wei Ying and the others were dissatisfied, especially Shao Qi, who was about to speak as soon as he raised his eyebrows. Zhao Min glared at him, and Shao Qi shrank his neck when he saw it, and he was a little reluctant to turn his head. Zhao Min sighed secretly in his heart, although this Yue Ji is Taiyue Lou Shaodong, but after all, his identity is limited, and sometimes it is indeed different from what people who really have status think. People in this era attach great importance to their status and status, and they are treated differently if they have different statuses. Generally speaking, it can be roughly divided into nobles and commoners. This is obviously a place where the common class can only enter and exit, and if someone with a higher status than the civilian class is brought here, it is okay to brush up on the spot, and I am afraid that it is possible to flip the table and turn his face. Of course, Zhao Min and others were hiding their identities, and it was not surprising that he regarded himself and others as ordinary businessmen.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were gradually served, and sure enough, there were sweet and sour carp, braised sea cucumber with green onions, yellow croaker tofu and other dishes that were just introduced. A burst of fresh fragrance makes people can't help but move their index fingers. Everyone was already hungry and thirsty, and Zhao Min was not polite, and said to Yue Ji: "Young owner, please." ”

Yue Ji was also busy saying: "Everyone, please! ”

Zhao Min took the lead in picking up chopsticks and took a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully, it was really unique, fresh and tender, and the aftertaste was endless, compared to yesterday's sweet and sour carp, it seemed to be better, and he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Min moved the chopsticks, everyone couldn't hold back anymore and started one after another. But seeing the bamboo chopsticks and dishes flying together on the table, the soup was the same color as fish and meat, and a gust of wind swept away the clouds, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost, which made the tables next to him look sideways.

It didn't take long for more than ten dishes on the table to be swept away by everyone. After eating and drinking, everyone inevitably had some support in their stomachs, and they sat down on the chairs and were unwilling to move. Zhao Min was slightly better, but he was also a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to Yue Ji: "Thank you Shaodong for your kindness, but I didn't expect this hospitality to be so difficult, but it made Shaodong smile." ”

Yue Ji didn't eat too much, so he didn't look like everyone else, and waved his hand with a smile when he heard this: "Your Excellency doesn't have to mind, Yue Mou's first time he came was even more unbearable, and he almost swallowed his tongue!" ”

Yan laughed at himself, and after laughing, he said to Zhao Min: "Meeting is fate, and you haven't asked your Excellency for your honor?" ”

Zhao Min smiled lightly: "A small name is not enough to worry about. Under the surname Zhao, the family line four, call me Zhao Si. As soon as he finished speaking, he had another chill.

Yue Ji smiled: "It turned out to be Zhao Sigongzi. Yue Mou saw that the son was talking extraordinary, and he must be a person of noble status, but he didn't know what happened to him? Don't misunderstand, it's not to explore privacy, it's just curiosity, and if it's inconvenient, you can ignore it. ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a visit to relatives and friends."

Yue Ji laughed: "I just said it below, if the son is inconvenient and doesn't answer, why bother to talk perfunctory?" How can there be a reason to visit relatives and friends without visiting the door but living in an inn? Zhao Sigongzi is really good at joking. ”

Zhao Min was slightly stunned, almost forgetting that this era is not as good as later generations, if you have relatives and friends when you go out, the first choice is to stay in each other's homes, which is also part of etiquette.

However, Zhao Min didn't care that the excuse was exposed, and even if he had exposed the matter with a slight smile: "Yue Shaodong's lesson is that he is making a gaffe." It's just that for some reason, the purpose of coming here is really inconvenient to say, and I ask Shaodong to forgive me. ”

Yue Ji nodded and said he didn't care. Then he suddenly changed the topic, raised his hand and dotted a few times around, and said to Zhao Min: "Fourth Prince Zhao has ever noticed the characteristics of the people here?" ”

Zhao Min raised his head and looked around, the surrounding diners were men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, and he didn't find anything special? After looking closely, I suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have one thing in common - no one wore a crown, whether old or young!

Roughly speaking, the hats worn by people in this era are usually divided into crowns, ben, and curtains. The crown is a hat worn by the royal scholars, usually made of bamboo or bamboo silk as bone cloth; Ben is a leather hat, and 帻 is a soft hat. The above three are generally referred to as "crowns". The crown can only be worn by people with status, and the difference is only in the different identities of the people who wear them, such as the Jinxian crown worn by the scribes, and the non-crown worn by the samurai. But no matter what kind of crown, civilians are not qualified to wear it, and at most they can only wrap their heads around a strip of cloth.

What do you mean by civilians? Here again, it needs to be explained. Since Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, in order to encourage military merit, a system of 20 levels of military merit was established, as long as a soldier won the first enemy head, he could be awarded the first class "public soldier". After the Xia Dynasty and Qin, the practice of following the title was followed, but due to the frequent wars during the Gaozu period, there were too many knights among the soldiers, so some reforms were carried out, and the title of the low-level soldiers was changed to the practice of cumulative promotion, and the title was awarded at the lowest level from the Dubo, and the twenty-level knights of the Qin system were integrated, with the five grades of duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male, and each rank was subdivided into three levels: county, township, and pavilion, a total of fifteen levels. Of course, the counties, townships, and pavilions here only represent honors, and have nothing to do with fiefdoms. From then on, having a knighthood was equivalent to being called a member of the nobility, completely dissociating itself from the commoners.

In the military attache system, there are titles above the capital level, while the titles of civil officials are directly linked to official positions. For example, the prime minister is automatically a thirteenth-level duke of the pavilion, and if he has special contributions, he can be promoted to a township duke or a county duke. In short, in the civil service system, as long as it is recorded in the imperial court, all those who eat the imperial court are knights.

The above is just to illustrate one point, that is, in the Xia Dynasty, there was a considerable difference between commoners and nobles, in addition to wearing crowns, there were also things such as eating different seats, commoners to be polite to nobles when entering the door together, and so on. In short, nobles enjoy many privileges, and as a commoner, even if you have been doing business for many years and are rich enough to rival the country, you must keep your voice low in front of even a county official.

This is the case with Yue Ji. Owning a "five-star hotel" in the state capital is not an ordinary person, but he can only eat in such a low and greasy courtyard with ordinary civilians, not that he can't go to a restaurant, but only in such a place can he not be looked down upon by others.

Zhao Min instantly understood what Yue Ji meant, but he didn't know what he wanted to explain to himself. Immediately said lightly: "Shaodong has something to say." ”

Yue Ji looked at Zhao Min with a smile: "Although I am a grass farmer, I have been in business for many years and I recognize that there are countless people. I see that Zhao Sigongzi is definitely from a noble family, but he is willing to deign to eat with Yue here, and Yue is flattered! ”

Everyone changed color a little when they heard this, it turned out that he had already seen that these people were not ordinary people, but he had been pretending not to know before, and this forbearance was also counted. It wasn't revealed until a meal was over, but I didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

Zhao Min pressed his right hand weakly, signaling everyone not to act rashly, but still looked at Yue Ji lightly: "What does the young owner want?" He didn't say anything. ”

Yue Ji left the table at this time, took two steps back, and respectfully saluted Zhao Min, and when he looked up at Zhao Min, his eyes were already blazing: "The Ji family has been in business for decades, and after four generations of hard work, it has saved a huge fortune. However, every time I am bullied, I hope that I am fed up with this kind of days of tiptoeing and being bullied by others, and I want to find a career but I can't get it. Now I see that the son is majestic and strategic, and he must not be a generation under others. Yue Mou is brave and willing to invest all his family wealth, just asking his son to be able to serve the work of dogs and horses! ”

Zhao Min frowned slightly: "You don't even know what my identity is, so you dare to take refuge easily?" ”

Yue Ji's figure stood still: "Although Ji doesn't know, I am confident that I will never be mistaken." Even if it's wrong, Ji admits it! ”
