"Huh, gourmet house?"

Masahiro, who was on a private visit to the market, suddenly found that there was a food house near the exit of the market.

This gourmet house is the first commercial house jointly established by several women of Zhengliang according to Zhengliang's suggestion, and now it is a kind of commercial house under the jurisdiction of Luo's house.

Last year, Zhengliang told a few women about the concept of chain stores, but I didn't expect that so soon, the chain branch of the food house would have opened here. Curious for a moment, and just about to solve today's lunch problem, Masahiro walked into this food house, and the people in front of and behind Masaliang also hurriedly escorted him into the store.

"Guests, welcome to this food house." As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted by a good-looking maid who greeted Masara and the others with a smile on her face.

"Well, let's go over there." Masarashi nodded secretly as he instructed a few guards to protect him and Togo Heiji as they walked to a location in the middle of the store near the wooden window. It seems that several of his women have completely learned the way of doing business that he taught them at the beginning, and even the maid who is responsible for soliciting guests at the door seems to be very professional. It's no wonder that there are so many customers in this food house now.

At this time, most of the empty seats in the lobby of the merchant house had been occupied, and the guests were chatting about the rumors they had seen, speaking slang from all over the world. While chatting, they held a flask and drank wine in small sips, with a plate of dried turnips.

"Guest, what are you eating?" At this time, another maid came over and asked Masahiro, who was obviously the master.

"Well, do you have anything here? The tastier, the better. Masara said casually. In fact, there are some dishes that introduce this food house outside the food house. But the good politicians didn't pay attention.

"The guests came just in time. This gourmet restaurant has introduced Hita eel rice from Bungo Province. This Hita eel rice is very fragrant. And it has the custom of having one meal and three meals. Hearing Zhengliang say that he wanted the most expensive and delicious dishes in the food house, the maid immediately smiled and hurriedly introduced.

"Three meals in one meal?" Masaro was not surprised at all to hear that this gourmet house could get the specialties of Bungo Province so quickly, because two months ago, it was Masara's order that allowed Roche House and Kamiya and other commercial houses to enter Bungo Province on a large scale to prevent the commercial depression caused by the imposition of a sea ban on Bungo Province.

"Yes. Adults, the so-called one meal and three meals is to add nothing first and taste the original taste; Then stir in yuzu hot sauce, wasabi or radish chili sauce in the rice to make the flavor more varied; At the end of the day, you can use chazuke, which balances the slightly greasy eel and tastes wonderful. ”

"Then give me five plates." Hearing that the maid introduced it so deliciously, Zhengliang immediately said. There were a total of fifteen guards who followed Masara into the store, including the table of Toshigo Heiji, Ahri, Hidan, Taketori Snake Ranmaru and Masara, and the remaining fifteen guards were pretending to be ordinary people sitting at the table near Masara. Naturally, their food is ordered by themselves, and if Zhengliang helps them order food. Then the relationship between them and Zhengliang will be exposed.

"Isn't there anything else here besides Hita's eel rice?" After ordering this dish, Masara continued to ask. As far as he knows, there are a variety of specialties from all over the world, such as Chikuzen yaki, fugu yaki, abalone in sauce, diced corn radish, Kuru rice crackers, grilled god melon, and braised river fish. It is a place where you can try food from all over the world, and at certain times, you can also see performances by some of the ape musicians and singers invited by the merchant houses.

It is precisely because the food provided by the gourmet house is so delicious that some wealthy families and even retainers intend to hire the chef of the gourmet house to serve as the lord's full-time cook. But it was a gray nose because of it.

The welfare and pension institutions of the Luo family and the Luo family are all run by several women of Zhengliang, and it is precisely because the people in power of the two are the same people that almost all the guys in the Luo family are arranged to work in the pension agency according to the situation of the people who need to be pensioned. And in order to keep it secret, Roche House also signed a confidentiality agreement with them, once these workers break the contract, it will affect not only themselves, but even their other relatives, so in the face of the temptation of others, these chefs will naturally not be fooled.

And the wealthy clan and the retainers who have touched the ashes do not dare to do anything out of the ordinary to these chefs, because they must abide by the laws of the Luo family, otherwise even the wealthy family and the retainers of the Luo family will be punished. Moreover, they all know that these food houses belong to Roche House. The Roche House was opened by the wives of the Daimyo-sama. With such a tough backstage, they naturally don't dare to offend.

"I'm sorry, my lord, but there is only one town house food in this house, but in addition to this Hita eel rice, we also have dishes such as roasted gourd, roasted corn, and dried radish. It's delicious, too! Hearing that Masato wanted other delicacies, the maid immediately said.

"Okay, just bring me five plates of dried radish." Masaro also suddenly remembered that due to long-distance transportation and preservation techniques, it was actually only at the main store in Kishidake Yamajo Castle that there were various specialties from each region, while the other branches would only have one type of special cuisine. In desperation, Zhengliang had no choice but to order a little dried radish.

After the dried radish was introduced to the Wa country, it was quickly cultivated by the locals from the thickness of the finger to the thick arm, and because of its rich nutrition and easy to grow, it soon became the staple food of the Wa people. In order not to be too different from the people around him, Masahiro casually ordered this dish.

"A few bowls of cereals and a few sweet bowls of sake." Zhengliang said later. In fact, the food house is seen by the locals as a sake brewery that offers them more food, so the people who come here mainly do it for the sake of drinking. When it comes to drinking, the main food and drink of the locals is sake.

Wakoku sake is made by borrowing from the brewing method of Chinese rice wine, but it is also different from Chinese rice wine. The color of these wines is light yellow or colorless, clear and transparent, fragrant and pleasant, the taste is pure, soft and refreshing, its sour, sweet, bitter, astringent, spicy taste is harmonious, according to the information of later generations, its alcohol content is more than 15%, containing a variety of amino acids, vitamins, is a nutritious beverage wine.

Of course, most of these sake nowadays are made from grains, and the taste is really not good. And if the taste is better, it is natural to use rice as a raw material. It's just that although the lives of the lords have begun to improve after several years of development, and they have a few small sums of money to come to the sake brewery to drink a small sip of sake and eat a small piece of meat, in general, sake made from rice is still a bit expensive, so not many people will order such sake.

Seeing these sake, Masara suddenly remembered the shochu of the Ming Kingdom again. Although the soju of the Ming Kingdom is not suitable for the taste of the locals, it can become an important material for the Luo family's army when marching and fighting. So in an instant, Masarashi had the intention of returning to the daimyo's mansion and starting to set up a shochu workshop.

After ordering, the maid quickly brought five bowls of sake first, and then Masara and the others drank sake while waiting for the other dishes to be served.

"Lord, look?" While waiting, Togo Heiji, who was beside him, pointed to another corner of the food house. Zhengliang immediately looked in that direction, and couldn't help but scream softly.

It was a Ming countryman, and he actually found two tables of Ming people in the food house of the locals. They were sitting around at this time, eating their delicious food. The locals next to them, on the other hand, treated them as if they were locals, ignoring them and not being surprised at all. Obviously, the locals have merged with these Ming people.

After seeing these Ming people, Zhengliang instantly remembered what Dongxiang Heiji and Liu Le, who were in charge of managing the immigration affairs of the Ming Kingdom, had reported to him about the immigration situation of the Ming Kingdom.

At present, there are more than 60,000 Ming people in Hizen Province, more than 30,000 Ming people in Chikugo Province, and more than 20,000 Ming people in Higo Kingdom. Combined, there are currently 110,000 Ming people in the Luo family's territory.

It can be seen from here that the merchants of the Ming Kingdom have at least moved tens of thousands of Ming people from the Ming Kingdom to the Luo family's territory through the way of ant relocation in the past ten years. And these tens of thousands of Ming immigrants have multiplied to a population of 110,000 in the past ten years. It can be said that these Ming leaders have become an important part of the Luo family's population. As these lords continue to grow, they will gradually join the various institutions of the Luo family, and eventually become an influential force in the Luo family.

"Hey! Why do you sigh? You can think about it, how is your Excellency now compared to the beginning? Just when Masahiro was proud and relieved by the changes in the immigrants of the Ming Kingdom, a voice came from next door.

"It's a little unwilling! Think that at the beginning, when it was fat, the entire territory had to obey the orders of the subordinates, and now? You see, even those scouts are a little despised below, are they still their lords? If it had been before, they would have trembled with fear when they saw it. ”

The words of the guy next door immediately attracted the attention of Zhengliang. (To be continued......)
