Chapter 273: Ma Shangshu also likes xiaolongbao?
Xie Shen is sixteen this year, and next year will only be seventeen, so it is naturally suitable to serve as a waiter in the East Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The promotion is not too difficult, but the time seems to be a little tight.
In a year's time, it takes some external forces to help you from the Hanlin Academy to the East Palace, and Deng Yuan is obviously one of those external forces.
If he can successfully serve as the waiter of the East Palace, he may be able to transform this slightly naughty child after getting along with Xiao Zhengde day and night.
The following days were very dull, Xie Shen ran between Hanlin Courtyard and Xu Mansion every day, chatting with Xu Qianqian in his spare time, and lived a leisurely life.
said that the time came to July in a blink of an eye, and the restaurant jointly opened by Xie Shen and the Wang family has officially opened.
Since its opening half a month ago, the restaurant's business has been very hot, and most of the diners have come for the xiao long bao and private dishes.
After the end of the Hanlin Academy today, Xie Shen also came to the restaurant next to Guozijian to have a drink with Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi. It's called market research.
The three of them sat down in the restaurant, and Xie Shen smiled: "Brother Shouwen, I'm afraid I'm very idle these days." ”
Wang Shouwen rolled his eyes and said, "I think Brother Shenxian, you are a full man, but you don't know that a hungry man is hungry." Where can this bird official compare with your Hanlin Academy. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll have to mix in Nanjing Liubu for the elderly. ”
Xie Shen said with a smile: "Where is there such an exaggeration, no matter how you say that the Ministry of Industry is also one of the six departments, Brother Shouwen will always have a chance to be promoted after two years." ”
"I've borrowed your good words."
Wang Shouwen was obviously angry in his words, and he raised his neck and drank all the wine in the cup.
Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi had already tasted the delicious xiaolongbao, but even so, they couldn't wait to order three baskets.
In the words of Chief Wang, what is the point of treating yourself for being so tired of dealing with official business every day, and then it is not good to reward yourself for living.
As soon as the crystal clear xiaolongbao came up, Wang Shouwen picked up one and ate it regardless of the heat, the appearance of being anxious to eat hot tofu was really interesting, and Xie Shen, who was smiling, leaned forward and closed.
You don't need to pay too much attention to your demeanor when you eat in your own restaurant, and Xie Shen rarely let go of the wreckage once, so he crossed Erlang's legs and said: "It's so indecent for the head of the Tuntian Division of the Tangtang Ministry of Engineering to eat steamed buns, if it is spread out, I am afraid it will cause a storm." ”
Xie Pi didn't think it was a big deal, and said on the side: "No, no, no, if you follow what Brother Shen often talks about, Brother Shouwen is called true temperament." ”
"Yes, what a temperament!"
Wang Shouwen looked disdainful and ate the buns by himself.
After he had eaten a whole basket of steamed buns at the speed of the wind and clouds, he wiped his mouth with a cloth towel and said, "People can't treat themselves badly, and it's too boring to live if you can't eat anything." ”
The three of them were arguing with each other, but they saw a group of people and others hugging an official in a scarlet robe and a dignified appearance.
Xie Shen was slightly stunned, how could this person look so familiar.
However, looking down from the second floor, I couldn't see the person's face, and I couldn't tell it for a while.
The official walked straight to the second floor, apparently to book a private room.
Xie Shen still does a good job of categorical marketing. The lobby on the first floor is mainly for ordinary people.
After all, although xiaolongbao is a little more expensive than ordinary steamed buns, it is not unaffordable.
As for the second floor, it is all opened into private rooms, and most of the receptions are dignitaries, princes and grandsons.
The environment here is several times better than the lobby on the first floor, and people can be called to sing songs, which has been warmly praised by the powerful people in the capital.
However, due to the limited number of private rooms, reservations are often only accepted in advance.
Even so, there is often an embarrassing situation where you can't book a seat three days in advance.
The scarlet-robed official went up to the second floor and walked around the screen towards Xie Shen, and the young man took a deep breath when he looked at it.
Isn't this person the current secretary of the military department, Ma Wensheng!
This big guy is one of Hongzhi's famous ministers, but he doesn't have much friendship with Xie Shen, and Xie Shen has only seen him a few times from afar.
Why, even Ma Shangshu was attracted by the name of xiaolongbao and wanted to give it a try?
Surrounded by servants, Ma Wensheng walked to the private room opposite Xie Shen and sat down, and whispered something, and immediately a servant called the guys in the store to order some dishes.
Xie Shen was a little excited in his heart.
Would you like to come up and say hello?
In terms of grade, Xie Shen really can't be compared with Ma Shangshu, but in terms of status, he, the cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, can still talk to Ma Wensheng.
Just as he was hesitating, a servant of Ma Shangshu walked towards Xie Shen's private room, and when he got closer, he respectfully sang to Xie Shen and said, "My master wants to change positions with his son." ”
Xie Shenzhi couldn't cry or laugh.
The location of this private room facing the street is naturally good, so under normal circumstances, Xie Shen is reserved for himself. Reservations will only be accepted if you are not entertaining friends and family.
Ma Wensheng and him are not familiar with him, of course they can't book.
However, Ma Shangshu is really thick-skinned, and he even wants to change private rooms with him.
Xie Shen said in a deep voice: "We booked this private room first, how can there be a reason to change it on call." But if your lord wants, he can share a table with a few of us. ”
"This ......"
The servant obviously didn't expect Xie Shen to refuse so thoroughly. I'm afraid my master won't accept this kind of thing, right?
However, he still politely saluted Xie Shen and said, "The little one went to ask the master." ”
The servant turned around and went to the private room opposite, and after a short time, Ma Wensheng actually came over.
What surprised Xie Shen even more was that Ma Shangshu was also a little stunned when he walked into the private room, and then asked, "Xie Xiushu is also here?" ”
Belch......
Xie Shen was slightly embarrassed, Ma Wensheng actually recognized himself.
"Xiaguan Xie Shen pays a visit to Lord Shangshu."
Ma Wensheng waved his hand and said, "This is not a court, Xie Xiu doesn't have to be formal." The old man was still wondering which son was making the drinking order in this private room. ”
Xie Shen greeted Ma Shangshu to the first place and said with a smile: "The boss said that he was joking, the lower official had a light meal with a few friends after he was on duty today." ”
Since Ma Wensheng didn't mention it, he would naturally not be stupid enough to take the initiative to admit that the restaurant was opened by himself. He is an official, and logically speaking, he cannot do business.
Although the actual situation is that the officials in Beijing and Central China have opened shops, after all, they can't be said on the surface, otherwise they will not be sprayed to death by those officials.
"This is the son of Xie Ge Lao, Xie Pi, the director of the Literature and Anthology Department of the Ministry of Officials."
"This is the son-in-chief of the "Huidian" Xiu Wang Huawang Lao, and Wang Shouwen, the director of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry."
After Xie Shen's introduction, Xie Pi and Wang Shouwen both bowed to Ma Wensheng and said in unison: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Shangshu. ”
For the two of them, Ma Wensheng only bowed slightly, not as kind and cordial as he was to Xie Shen at all.
