Ding Pei suddenly laughed loudly: "Okay, good! You have only been returning to the south for a few days, and you have done so much, and you are really young and handsome. If you can dedicate this method of smelting and forging steel to the imperial court, not to mention the glory and wealth, even if you have the heart to enter the court as an official, the old man will try his best to promote it! How is it? ”

Kindness? The old guy wants a secret recipe? That's a bit of a rush, isn't it? Lao Tzu didn't make a penny, so he handed in the secret recipe, am I stupid? Besides, the secret recipe has been handed over, and those in charge of affairs in your court don't even have a sense of secrecy, and they will be revealed abroad in minutes, no!

After organizing the language a little, Han Wang stood up and saluted again, "It is a great blessing for the boy to lift up the lord; However, this new method of steelmaking is only in the experimental stage, and the proportion and heat during this period are extremely difficult for even European and African masters to control. If the court doesn't know the inside story, it will be Han's sin if he goes on a business trip for a while."

Ding Pei remembered that Han Wang said earlier that a furnace can produce 100 catties of steel a day, how can there be a difference? Could it be that he doesn't want to enter the court? Oh, I should be worried that once the secret method is handed in, it will be leaked, and he will have no money to make in this business.

Young people are still too young, what is money? As long as you are an official, it is not easy to get money? You are not an official, if you have money, you are fat, anyone can bite you! Anyway, I can't force it for a while, just let Manager Zhang dial it later.

But after all, Han Wang refuted his own face, especially because he had good intentions, it was one thing to point out in private, and it was another thing to teach young people a lesson.

Ding Pei coughed, "It's okay, although Han Gongzi is young, he knows how to act safely, and the official is also pleased." There are many official affairs, and it is inconvenient to accompany you, if you have any problems, you can talk to Zhang Guan! After speaking, he picked up the tea cup, which was to order tea and send it off.

Han Wang immediately said goodbye, and Steward Zhang sent him out, and couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and point at him.

"What a good opportunity for the right talent, it is rare for the county lord to be promoted, do you still have an excuse?! Who can't see if you're careful? What can you do by guarding the steel plant, and entering the dynasty as an official is the glory of the ancestors! Others can't ask for it, it's good for you, I see you full of thoughts on weekdays, why did you get confused this time? ”

Han Wang nodded again and again, saying that he had misunderstood Lord Ding's kindness, and asked Manager Zhang to explain on his behalf. After saying a good thing, Steward Zhang turned his face slowly.

"That's it! Looking at your young age, it is indeed not easy, I will probe the tone of the county Weng for you. Today and stay at the pavilion, there is any news that will be passed on, go! ”

Han Wang walked out of the gate of the county ya, and there was a shrewd and clever guy who had been waiting for a long time at the door, and when he saw Han Wang, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and greeted, "The noble man is Mr. Han Wanghan of Fengjiazhuang?" The little one is the Qian Iron Guy, Qian Jiu"

Money nine? It seems that he is a slave of the Qian family, and he should be able to speak well, and he is also familiar with the way in Zhending City. When he first arrived, Lao Qian still sent a house slave to receive and serve him, in case Han Wang's life was unfamiliar and delayed things.

Okay, it's close to noon, Lord Ding is careful not to leave food, so he has to find a place to eat. "Qian Jiu, which restaurant is really famous?"

Qian Jiu smiled and said, "Mr. Han, the little one has already booked a room for you in Yipinju, please here!" Saying that, he wanted to help Han Wang get on the horse.

Han Wang smiled and waved his hand, stepped on the stirrup belt and tightened the reins, and the movement of turning over and getting on the horse was not bad. Qian Jiu led the way in front, walked two streets to the right and walked another street to the right, and there was a two-story wooden attic hotel. The wine flags are blown by the wind, which is clearly a "one-product residence".

Yipinju Xiaoer is a clever person who sees six roads and listens to all directions, and when he saw Qian Jiu, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Brother Jiu, the room you booked for your nobleman has already been arranged." The nobleman rested upstairs in the private room, and the wine and food came later. ”

After Han Wang dismounted, he took the reins and let people lead them to the backyard stable to wash and feed the materials, and followed behind the two of them, constantly boasting about the many advantages of his restaurant.

Han Wang entered the private room, and it was spotless, the tables and chairs were all carefully built, and the room had south-facing windows facing the street, and there was plenty of light. Looking out of the window, half of the city can be seen at a glance.

The city gate building, the county office, the street downstairs is full of people, shops, stalls, and the sound of selling comes and goes. It seems that this is the best room in Yipinju, Han Wang nodded and said, "Qian Jiu, you have a heart!" ”

Qian Jiu hurriedly said, "Mr. is a master in the world, my master has ordered, you are really like the master is here, how dare the little one not serve him wholeheartedly?" "On the side, I introduced Han Wang one by one, Chengmen Street, Dongfang, West Market, Confucius Temple, Xiaoyaoguan, Tianwang Temple, special mentioned

"Sir, we really believe that the most famous is the Fu Xuefang, which is not far to the south; If you have time after lunch, the little one will lead you around."

Fu Xuefang, it should be a cultural and educational district, or look at the quality of teaching in this real setting, and see how talented the Great Song Dynasty is. He nodded and said, "That's it, it's hard work!" ”

At this time, Xiao Er sang the dishes "Eight Beauties of Cold Dishes, Crystal Fish Chest, Wine Fragrance Flying Phoenix, Foie Gras in Honey Sauce, Steamed White Eel, Monkey Head Stewed Scallops, Golden Line Beef, Osmanthus Rich Duck, Golden Roasted Lamb Leg, Hibiscus Bamboo Sun Soup". Eight cold, eight hot and one soup, the entire table is covered with layers.

Han Wang knew that it was worth a lot of money when he heard the name of this dish, he had never been so extravagant, Lao Qian was sincere, since he ordered it, let's taste what it was like to eat nine hundred years ago. So he sat down and prepared to eat, and when he saw that Qian Jiu was still standing behind him, he said, "Qian Jiu, sit down and eat!" ”

Qian Jiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused himself, "Mr. eats, where is there a place for the villain?" I'm just waiting here, and if I need anything, just command."

Han Wang didn't think about it, the difference in identity in this era is still very strict, and Qian Jiu, as a slave of the Qian family, is impossible to eat at the same table with his master.

If he is found to be eating and living with his master, unless there are special circumstances, he will definitely be sued to the government, and he will be punished with a big board if it is light, and if it is heavy, he will be assassinated and sent to the army or exiled to the south.

Han Wang saw that Qian Jiu insisted on refusing to sit down, and knew that there must be a reason, so he had to eat first.

Since the iron pot was not popular in the Song Dynasty, the food dishes were mostly boiled, stewed, steamed, simmered, and roasted, and these simple production techniques; What's more special is the fish belly, which is actually sashimi? On the side are vinegar, salt, sauce and some unnamed spices.

It turned out that Xiao Dongyang's sashimi still originated from the Chinese Dynasty, and Han Wang couldn't help but despise it again.

I have to say that the mouths of later generations have eaten badly, although this product is really second to none, but the taste is generally light; And the use of spices and seasonings was not right at all, these exquisite ingredients failed to play their due characteristics, so Han Wang felt that he didn't want to eat them anymore after tasting a few bites.

Qian Jiu looked at the table full of delicacies, and his appetite was already open, but Han Wang was the master, he was a slave, how could he dare to eat together. Seeing that Han Wang put down the bamboo chopsticks, he was not very interested, so he asked, "Sir, but the dishes are not appetizing?" I'll give you another table."

"No, these dishes are exquisite and delicious, and the first product lives up to its reputation, but I have been losing my appetite lately, and it is inconvenient to eat more."

Qian Jiu saw that Han Wang didn't want to eat anymore, so he called Xiao Er and withdrew the dishes to the backyard; Serve refreshments and fruits, and ask Han Wang to wait for a while, and go back by himself.

Han Wang immediately understood that Qian Jiu was going to the backyard to eat, and he refused to sit in front of him because of the difference between dignity and inferiority, and he couldn't serve the table. Qian Jiu must wait until the master has finished eating before he can eat, it seems that Qian Jiu can have a good meal today!
