Chapter 39: I Reward You
The buckles of the Ming military department are almost the same, even the children of the Jingwei guarding the Forbidden City are wearing shabby robes, and it is rare to see new clothes.
This kind of well-dressed and bright-looking is really rare, a total of twelve people came over, these people don't look like a team, just wandering around the street, but Wang Tong looked at it a few times and saw that something was wrong, these dozen brightly dressed guards seemed to be wandering, but they were all where passers-by gathered.
As they walked there, they stopped for a moment, and the eunuchs or janissaries who had gathered scattered and walked towards both sides of the street, and Wang Tong's heart moved, knowing who was coming.
This knows and doesn't know, the mentality is completely different, there are no customers in the store, Wang Tong sent a guy to the intersection to wait for Zhang Shiqiang, if he comes back, he will directly carry the things to the next house, so as not to meet embarrassment, he went to the seat where the little fat man used to sit and looked at it, and checked whether there were oil stains and dirt.
The guys in the store already have a system of doing things, and the cleaning and wiping work is meticulous, which is quite reassuring.

The cotton curtain was lifted, and Zhang Cheng, who was wearing a gray cotton robe, walked in with the little fat man.
The rich Zhang Cheng didn't have the fake beard on his face this time, he had a white and chubby face, he looked very kind, and the little fat man on the side was wrapped tightly, and he put his hat aside when he walked into the store.
The little fat man's round face was not too happy, he stared at Wang Tong, silent, Zhang Cheng nodded to Wang Tong slightly.
Wang Tong was also awkward in his heart, thinking that a few big guys would come over in a swarm to ask inexplicably, and then don't explain anything, what should I do in the face of this little fat man.
The brain was spinning, Wang Tong didn't know how to do it, and finally the surname Suo gritted his teeth, since he didn't break it, he should treat it as if he didn't break it, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and said:
"On this cold day, the two of you will drink a bowl of hot soup first, San'er, serve it quickly, remember to add some pepper..."
Two bowls of steaming mutton bone soup are placed on the table, the soup is snow-white, and the heat is enough to watch the boiling, and it is a special ironing thing to drink hot soup on a cold day.
Although the little fat man was unpleasant, he couldn't help but pick up the spoon and take a sip, after drinking it, he raised his eyebrows, showed a surprised look on his face, stared at Wang Tong and asked:
"This soup is so fresh, how do you make it?"
Zhang Cheng on the side couldn't help but take a sip when he heard the little fat man's surprise, his reaction was also shocked, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Tong in surprise.
With such a scene, the slightly depressed atmosphere in the shop eased a lot, Zhang Cheng took another sip, pursed his lips, and said distinctly:
"The vinegar and pepper plus the taste of lamb bones are all boiled, but how to make it so fresh, even the imperial meal...... There. ”
The words stumbled, and finally swallowed a few words in the imperial dining room, the little fat man's face was gloomy when he heard this, Wang Tong only didn't see it, and explained with a smile:
"Don't pick the lamb bones too clean, when it's about to boil, throw down a fried fish, there is no fishy smell, but the umami is raised."
In modern times, Wang Tong didn't have a good idea in the orphanage, and his life improved after work, but he didn't like to go out to have fun in addition to work and entertainment, and his leisure at home was to make a fuss about eating.
It may not be a good cook, but I have seen and heard many things, and there are also cooks in the delicious restaurant, so I made it according to Wang Tong's command.
This method of making soup and putting fish to season comes from Guangdong, which is the most basic skill when making soup, and Wang Tong also tried it today, and the effect is good.
The honest nod, the little fat man was ignorant for a moment, but his eyes lit up and patted the table, and said excitedly:
"The sheep and fish words of the sheep bone are together, isn't it a fresh word?"
The gloomy expression just now became a happy smile, and for such a supreme person, the reason for happiness was also very simple.
This mutton bone soup is not a big pot of goods, it was prepared by Wang Tong alone, watching the little fat man happy, braised pork, radish stewed beef and dried shrimp mixed with cabbage heart were sent up in turn.
Needless to say, the dried shrimp is the dried shrimp of the shrimp, and the cabbage heart is also shredded, which is very refreshing and delicious.
Wang Tong thought about it and sat in the corner, since the other party didn't break it, then he pretended to be confused and behaved as naturally as possible.
When he was hungry, he was anxious, and when he was full, he was satisfied, and the little fat man finished eating two bowls of rice, let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became a little more pleasant, and he groaned, and said:
"Zhang Banban, send all the people in the store out and leave Wang Tong."
Zhang Cheng, who was sitting sideways, hurriedly stood up and waved his hand to the guys who were busy in the store, and Wang Tong directly divided everyone to the houses on both sides to help.
When there were only three people left in the store, the little fat man's face became gloomy, and he stared at Wang Tong and asked:
"Wang Tong, do you know who I am?"
At this point, Wang Tong hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said:
"There is speculation in the small heart, but no one has a clear word from the small, so I don't dare to judge myself."
"I'm today, my companion and Mr. Zhang have come here to see you, I guess you can guess who I am in your heart!"
After Che Yulu finished speaking, Wang Tong couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, so he quickly stood up and knelt down, and bowed and said:
"Weichen Wang Tong, see my emperor, long live long live long live."
There is no benefit to him in breaking the matter, Wang Tong understands in his heart, but when the situation reaches this point, he can only see the monarch and the minister.
Emperor Wanli, who was sitting at the top, was full of boredom, and complained to Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the side:
"Zhang Banban, it's hard to have a place for a private visit to Weifu, he can't recognize me, such an interesting thing, you want to tell the queen mother, you see, the eldest companion also knows, Mr. Zhang also knows, Wang Tong is so respectful, what is the meaning here later!"
Listening to Emperor Wanli's complaints, Wang Tong was anxious in his heart, a huge opportunity was in front of him, if he wanted to live this life uneventfully, then he had to seize this opportunity, but the difference in identity between heaven and earth made him have no chance to take the initiative at all, what should I do!?
After Emperor Wanli complained, he looked at Wang Tong who was kneeling on the ground, his tone softened, and he said in a deep voice:
"Your drinking and questioning made the widow figure out something, and I also saw the happiness of the queen mother, and was praised by Mr., the queen mother's happiness is the widow's happiness, say, what do you want, the widow will reward you?"
The Son of Heaven opened his mouth to ask him what reward he wanted, which was a great luck that ordinary people could never dream of, but Wang Tong knew in his heart that if he really asked for a reward, I am afraid that it would be nothing more, and the emperor who had lost his freshness and excitement would never come here again, and everything would be empty.
