With the sound of "hit me" on the iron salamander, a girl wearing a red Luo long skirt appeared at the bow of the boat, with a xia veil on her clothes, a red gown, a dragon and phoenix ornament on the first dress, and the clothes were embroidered with a woven gold dragon and phoenix pattern, as if she was dressed as a life woman, and more importantly, she was holding a heavy thing in her delicate little hand, which was a dazzling, treasure-inlaid purple gold with six edges and eight treasures. The girl of Yipin raised the golden mace with difficulty and shouted: "The first emperor gave the golden mace here, beating the unconscious king on the top and the traitorous ministers on the bottom, who dares to stand in the way?" Around! "This is the legendary Miss Hu, the big shopkeeper of Rishengchang.

"In!" A group of big men rushed out, surrounding the delicate girl in red. Fierce eyes condescendingly glanced at the poor insects on the official ship below, waiting for the master's orders.

"We Rishengchang pay the most attention to a face, whoever gives me face, I will give him face, whoever doesn't give me face, I will call him ugly! This waterway originally pays attention to the wide and narrow meet, the wide let the narrow, how to retreat from the Hongze Lake that is so big behind you, there are boats in the row dozens of miles behind me, how do you let me retreat? After saying a reason, even the onlookers nodded yes, no matter whose grade is big, it is convenient to let the inconvenient, that is the right reason, you can't let the boats in the narrow canal make way for the boats in the wide lake, this matter is still Cui Shangshu is unreasonable, let it go a little, it will have already passed, and there will not be so many boats.

"Hit me, a few people with good water nature are ready to go into the water to catch Shang Fang's sword, the emperor's things can't be taken lightly, as for those who don't give me face, just drown them." After Miss Hu finished speaking, she returned to the cabin with the golden mace. A puff of white smoke came out of the chimney of the Iron Salamander, and it looked like it was about to hit it at full speed.

The so-called Shang Fang sword, in fact, is in the name of the little emperor, issued by the nine-thousand-year-old Huang Rong issued a kind of highest-level authorization certificate, others are afraid, the queen mother's Miss Hu is not afraid, not to mention that there is a gold mace given by the emperor in the hands of the first emperor, of course, the gold mace is not a gold content, no one has thrown off the emperor today, not to mention the old emperor who has died for so many years, but everything pays attention to a rational word, the son's Shang Fang sword is of course afraid of being a father's golden mace, Cui Chengxiu has no tricks now, and stomped his feet and said "stand back", Then he rolled up his sleeves and went back to the cabin.

The official ship hurriedly reversed, and the boats behind also retreated, and they were busy for a while, and even the paddle steamers of the iron factory had to retreat some distance, and this side gave way to a wide waterway, and the iron salamander sounded the whistle, plucking the layers of white waves in the eyes of all the boatmen present.

"I said that this big shopkeeper Hu will definitely invite us to visit, do you believe it or not?" Peng Jingrong said to Liu Ziguang with a smile.

"I don't believe it, she dares to hit the military department, can she be so polite to us?" Liu Ziguang replied.

It's a beautiful and magnificent ship, and you can't see its wonders until you get closer, exquisite, luxurious, advanced, and safe. The sailors wore short white silk clothes with light-colored money patterns printed on them, and they all stood on the side of the board with a shy chest, and that feeling was the eldest of heaven and his second.

When passing by the paddle steamer of the Iron Works, the Iron Salamander suddenly stopped, and the lion with deep internal strength just now roared and shouted at this side: "You are the ships of the Liguo Iron Works?" ”

The own crew here replied loudly, "Exactly." ”

The lion roared back and said something, and then continued to shout: "My big shopkeeper invites you two young ladies and Premier Liu to come over and talk~"

Oh, I was really invited, and with me, Liu Ziguang was very surprised, I didn't expect my name to be so big, even the governor of the central bank knew me. Looking at his widening eyes, Peng Jingrong smiled, "There's nothing surprising, Hu Yimin is my handkerchief, let's go, let's visit the famous Iron Salamander." ”

The second lady who was sleepy got up from the bed, changed into the clothes of the guests, and the three of them boarded the first iron salamander in the Daming Inland River in a small boat.

First of all, the first thing that catches your eye is the neat and bright teak deck, all the visible metal parts on the ship are made of brass, the texture is heavy, giving people a sense of atmospheric safety, this is a delicately constructed Ming ** ship, the steam engine is hidden in the bottom of the ship, the chimney is decorated into the appearance of a pagoda, there are actually two jade lions in front of the door of the cabin, and it is the kind of Western lion lying on the stomach, the kind at the door of the Hong Kong HSBC Bank, there is a string of red palace lamps hanging next to the two vermilion lacquer doorposts, which looks familiar, as if it is the same as the palace lamp of Kunning Palace; There is a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging above "Rishengchang", and the whole feeling is that it is the entire water bank, or the level of the head office.

Miss Hu has changed her clothes, it is a plain and dark flower bijia, a light blue hundred-fold moon dress, looking noble and elegant, standing at the door and waiting for them, behind them stood eight low-eyed maids, playing a fan, holding an incense burner, lined up, full of style.

Shopkeeper Hu picked up a delicate crystal glasses from the tray held by the maid, raised them to his eyes and looked at them, and then put them down to greet him, "Sister Rong, Sister Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The three girls greeted each other affectionately, and then the shopkeeper Hu turned to Liu Ziguang and asked with a smile: "This is Premier Liu, who invented the double-entry accounting method. The little woman is Hu Yimin, the current treasurer of Rishengchang, and now we have begun to use the advanced bookkeeping method you invented. ”

Liu Ziguang smiled bitterly, in the future, he must persuade the little emperor to get a patent law to protect his legitimate rights and interests, and he gave a gift at the moment: "It is below, see Hu Da's shopkeeper." ”

Hu Yimin chuckled and waved his little hand: "Come in and talk." He led the three of them into the palatial cabin, where the floor was covered with a thick Persian carpet, and the tables, chairs and benches were all made of golden silk nanmu, inlaid with Hetian's beautiful jade, and covered with Suzhou embroidered brocade cushions. There is a delicate Chinese painting of flowers and birds hanging in the middle hall, Liu Ziguang, who thought he had seen the "Sketch of Rare Birds", observed the painting seriously, pretended to nod his head in contemplation, and asked with a smile: "Premier Liu also has a preference for Danqing?" Just help me identify whether this "Phoenix Pride Intent" is Tang Yin's authentic work? ”

What phoenix pride intentions? Who is Tang Yin? Liu Ziguang was immediately stunned, but he immediately calmed down, and looked carefully at the inscription of the painting, and the bright red stamp on one side showed the three words Tang Bohu, oh, the Stephen Chow movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" that he had seen came to mind, and he smiled proudly: "It turned out to be the ink treasure of Tang Bohu, who is unique in poetry and painting, and is known as the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan. As for the authenticity and falsehood, will the painting hanging in the middle hall of the Iron Salamander be fake? Even if it is copied, it has become real to hang it in this hall. The words not only identified the authenticity of "Phoenix Proud Intent", but also slapped Rishengchang's sycophants without revealing the mountain dew.

Thousands of clothes, no sycophants, Hu Yimin's eyes as bright as the morning star are full of smiles, yes, of course there will be no fakes in the paintings that can be hung in Rishengchang, this Premier Liu is really good at talking.

Peng Jingrong was worried that Liu Ziguang would be embarrassed if he couldn't answer just now, but now that he answered so satisfactorily, she couldn't help but give him a praising look.

Liu Ziguang, who was encouraged, was triumphant, and did not accept it when he saw it, but continued to talk about it: "If you want to talk about the king's spirit, even if it is a mortal bird in Song Huizong's "Sketch of Rare Birds", there is an irrepressible king's spirit, after all, he is the emperor. ”

Hearing Liu Ziguang's words, Peng Jingrong hurriedly interrupted him: "What you see is the "Sketch of Rare Birds" copied by this dynasty, how can you have the spirit of a king, and how can it be compared with Tang Bohu's authentic works." ”

"Yes, yes, what I see is copying, copying, haha." Liu Ziguang, who realized that he had leaked his mouth, hurriedly followed Peng Jingrong's words. It would be troublesome for people to know that he had seen the authentic work of "Sketching Rare Birds".

"Oh?" A hint of suspicion flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper Hu, and he did not continue to ask.

Peng Jingrong hurriedly diverted the topic: "Sister Hu was so majestic just now, even the official ship of the Ministry of War Shangshu will give you three points." ”

"yes, is that golden mace really anyone able to fight?" Liu Ziguang also asked, his ignorant eyes flashing with admiration.

"Hehe, fight the unconscious king, beat the traitorous minister, that's what is sung in the play, if there is no strong ship and crossbow of the Iron Salamander, how can the dignified military department Shangshu give a golden wedge face, although it is really given by the emperor, but if you really want to beat people with it, it is absolutely unacceptable." Hu Yimin is also telling the truth.

"The truth is within the range of the repeater." Liu Ziguang suddenly burst out with a sentence. The eyes of the two eldest ladies lit up when they heard this, relying on strength to speak is the last word, how can such a meaning be so philosophical when it comes out of Liu Ziguang's mouth. This person is not simple, Hu Yimin thought secretly. My family's Vice General Liu really speaks at a high level, and Peng Jingrong's letter is beautiful.

"I'm ashamed to have delayed your trip, you haven't had breakfast yet, it's just time that the kitchen is ready, let's go together." Hu Da shopkeeper invites everyone to have breakfast together, the Hu family's dining room is famous, the world's famous chefs gather, Tiannanhai, North and North Sai can do Western dishes, it is said that the world's cooking skills should look at the Hu family's dining room rather than looking at the imperial dining room, the general imperial chef can only do some work to peel garlic and cut onions when he arrives at the Hu family's dining room.

Hearing that there was something delicious, Peng Jingwei, who had been wilting, finally became excited, "Sister Hu, what's delicious?" ”

"You'll know when you see it." Hu Yimin smiled and signaled to a maid that she could pass the meal.

The huge table is filled with all kinds of meals from all over the country and even abroad, and they are all special breakfasts, served in thin translucent porcelain dishes, inlaid with gold ivory chopsticks, and various soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, aged vinegar, rice vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, green onion and garlic juice, honey, sugar and other small dishes are placed in front of everyone.

A young cook explains the origin of these meals:

Even the well-informed Peng Jingrong was dazzled, how to choose so many types? "Sister Hu has to spend so much money every day?" She couldn't help but ask.
