There are two signs at the entrance of Ruyi Building, one of which says the opening and closing times, but it is said that it will be changed soon, because the owner has decided to start doing business early, and the other has a sign with advice to enter the store.

Song Zhan stood on the steps, looking at the content of the advice to enter the store, his expression was very wonderful.

"The small business is not on credit, first check out and then eat, if it is too unpalatable, the whole single package is returned, it is not enough, welcome to smash the store. Those who maliciously slander will break their legs at their own expense. ”

After Song Zhan read the advice to enter the store word by word, he sharpened his back molars, and the tone of this profiteer was not small.

Glancing at the hours of operation, he looked up at the sky, and estimated that it would not be long before the door opened.

Song Zhan glanced at the clean and dust-free steps, and sat down, his hands on his knees and his eyes empty.

Although Tong Qingyan's master and servant are pretending to be men at the moment, they still can't be as arbitrary as Song Zhan.

Next to a large pillar at the entrance of the Ruyi Building, the two whispered.

After listening to her young lady's instructions, Pearl nodded solemnly, took out ten taels of silver from the brocade bag tied around her waist and walked to Wang Ada, who was watching with her neck stretched out on the side.

Taking advantage of the convenience of buying a license plate with silver, Pearl concisely explained the instructions of his own young lady, Wang Ada's slight chin of silence expressed his understanding, and took advantage of Pearl to turn back when he glanced at the little brother beside him, and the little brother would move away and walk to the backyard of Ruyi Building.

In the courtyard of the Zhou family of the governor's mansion, bursts of laughter floated from time to time.

Tong Manji looked at all kinds of brand-new dresses and hairpin collars in the trays, and felt that the neck that slept on the pillow was not so uncomfortable.

"It's all new, and it's not on the shop, so I'll send it to the two of you to choose, let's see if there are any eye-catching."

Zhou smiled and watched the two daughters choose, and the corner of his eye kept paying attention to the door of the house, and finally saw that Ruixin, the personal maid sent to Hanlian Garden to invite someone, came back, but she was not followed by the person she wanted to see.

Rui Xin looked at Zhou's slightly gloomy face, shrunk her neck, and stepped forward to whisper back.

"The slave maid went to the outside of Hanlian Garden to ask to see the third lady, and the third lady's personal maid Shuangxi said... Said that the third lady was studying the recipe book, and the second lady Xie was kind, but she was not very interested in clothes and jewelry......"

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and by the end Ruixin's head was about to fall to the ground.

After Ruixin entered the house, Tong Manjiao, who was always paying attention to her mother's movements, saw that Zhou's face had become extremely ugly, and after thinking about it, she picked up the agate bracelet in the tray and walked to Zhou.

"Mother, look at this agate bracelet, with that moon-white dress, is it good?"

Zhou's face stiffened, he didn't want his daughter to know what happened, but after thinking about it, the two daughters were already married, and sooner or later they would marry someone else in charge of the feed, and they should learn something.

After making up his mind, Zhou straightened his clothes, waved away everyone in the house, and beckoned Tong Manji, who was still choosing jewelry.

"Soon Princess Huai and the prince will come to the boundary of our Changchun Mansion, and today I asked you to choose these for the purpose of seeing the ceremony later, thinking that your third sister would also choose some, but she refused to come."

"Mother didn't know that the third sister was intoxicated with wine and food, and when she was interested in them. Besides, can the eldest aunt not help her? Mother also cares too much. ”

Tong Manjiao quickly finished speaking, only to realize that the atmosphere was not right, Tong Manjiao shook her head and signaled Tong Manjiao to stop talking. Reaching out to pass the warm tea, he comforted his mother softly.

"Mother is also kind, but my cousin is probably really busy, so I don't have time to come over, it's better to have someone send clothes and jewelry to Hanlian Garden now, we can choose to see it later."

Zhou's anger is annoyed, where is he really willing to wronged his daughter.

After thinking about it, he didn't get angry, so he went down the steps with the tea handed by Tong Manjiao, and didn't mention it.

Waiting for the Ruyi Building to open, Tong Qingyan who entered the restaurant according to the number plate and sat down, looked at the lobby in a good mood.

It has been a year since Ruyi House opened, and it is the first time that I have sat in this lobby as a diner.

Looking at Tong Qingyan, who was happy with her eyebrows and eyes, Song Zhan knew that this person was coming to this restaurant for the first time, and Song Zhan was very curious about where the confidence of this product came from.

Xiao Er Liqiu shook the white cotton handkerchief in his hand, and walked to Song Zhan's table with a standardized smile on his face.

"The two guest officers looked at the noodles, it's the first time to come to our restaurant to eat, right? I don't know what the two like to eat, but the small Liqiu can be recommended. ”

Ruyi Building has a total of 24 running vegetable small two, in the name of solar terms, every five days a round, today Liqiu from the private room to the lobby.

Song Zhan nodded secretly when he listened to Liqiu's words, profiteers are profiteers, this restaurant is well decorated, and Xiao Er's choice is good, very eye-catching.

"There are three of us, and we can't eat too much, so let's just have two dishes and one soup. I like spicy food, and as for this ......"

"Under the surname Song, I don't eat spicy, pick up the best in your store."

Song Zhan pinched his purse, he didn't have to solve the meal by himself all the way, this Ruyi Building is not as expensive as Yuchunxuan in the capital, it is the number one restaurant in the capital.

"Good luck for the guest officer today, there is a way when the fresh vegetables are just served today, the taste is incomparably delicious, it is made of soft shell crabs sent from Haining County with thousands of years of cold ice, called Supreme Crab Treasure. How about a spicy dish with eight immortals, and then our signature bamboo pigeon soup and a pot of lychee wine? ”

"Okay, so be it."

"Okay, the rules of this restaurant are to pay first and then serve the food, a total of eighty taels."

"How much?! Eighty taels! You're not only profiteers, you're also a black shop! ”

Song Zhan's abruptly raised volume attracted the attention of everyone in the lobby, and those who sat close listened to it all, and looked at Song Zhan's eyes very subtlely.

What kind of person, dressed quite decently, can't afford to eat the food of Ruyi Lou and dare to come in, and said that people are profiteers and black shops, and they can't be on the table.

The price of this Ruyi building is not from the daily consumption of ordinary people, and those who can often come are well-off, and they are also very careful when ordering food, and they dare not shout loudly to drink the best.

At the beginning, the newly opened Ruyi Building and the people who came in to try it complained about the same price as grabbing money, and after eating, they felt that it was really worth it. Now looking at Song Zhan as a person who has come over, a sense of superiority in his heart is faintly emerging.

"If Brother Song has anything unspeakable, it's better for me to be the east today."

Tong Qingyan looked at Song Zhan, who was like a fried cat, very calmly, and probably realized that she was out of shape, Song Zhan coughed, and her eyes stared at Liqiu, whose smile did not change at all.

"Two dishes, one soup, one pot of wine, eighty taels?"

"Yes, guest officer."

"If it's not delicious, can you return it all?"

"Yes, guest officer."

"Okay."

Liqiu Lisuo went to the kitchen to order dishes, and Tong Qingyan and Song Zhan exchanged their basic information.

Song Zhan said that he was a dart game, and he came to Changchun Mansion for the first time. Tong Qingyan said that he was the third son of the silk solemn family in Jiangyin County, Changchun Prefecture, and he had been famous for Ruyi Building for a long time, and he came for the first time today.

After a few words of small talk, the Supreme Crab Treasure came up. The two politely gave in, and finally put down chopsticks together.

The most delicious time for soft shell crab is the tenth to twelfth of the crab molt, frozen within half an hour after molting, in order to lock the most umami, hot oil can be fried out of the pot, saving the cumbersome of peeling the shell and removing the meat, and there is the umami that the general hard-shell blue crab does not have.

Song Zhan only had one hundred taels in his purse, and after paying eighty taels, he made up his mind to refund it.

Who knew that the first course would conquer itself, and it would be better than anything that had been eaten at a crab feast in the palace for so many years.

Song Zhan was distracted while eating, thinking about how delicious and expensive the golden roast duck Brother Yan said, and thinking about what he would like to pay for the duck if he lost the gambling later, I don't know if this Ruyi Building will accept the jade pendant.

Pearl was pulled by Tong Qingyan to sit down and eat vegetables, although the soft shell crab was also the first time to eat, but seeing that the surname Song didn't have much money to order a second serving, in order to let his own young lady eat more, he endured it after tasting a chopstick.

The amount of two dishes, one soup and one pot of wine is not small, at least Song Zhan is full of seven points. Except for the spicy Eight Immortals, Song Zhan couldn't help but shake his head spicy after eating chopsticks, and most of the other dishes went into Song Zhan's stomach.

Looking at Song Zhan, who was satisfied, Tong Qingyan beckoned to Liqiu. Liqiu stepped forward with a smile and bowed slightly to listen to the command.

"Before, I was short-sighted and willing to gamble." Song Zhan straightened his expression and said to Liqiu, "How much silver is a golden roast duck?" ”

"Two hundred taels, killed and roasted, can the guest officer wait?"

"Two hundred taels of roast duck?! The famous roast duck in Yuchun Xuan in Beijing is only twenty taels, how precious is your golden roast duck, have you given it gold since childhood? ”

"The guest officer is knowledgeable, and he is really as precious as a snack of gold. Our Ruyi Lou's duck has eaten the best begonia fruit and golden pumpkin every day since childhood, so the duck meat has its own fruity aroma, delicate and sweet, the charcoal used for roast duck is also a complete silver frost charcoal, and finally after the oven is to brush the secret osmanthus nectar of the restaurant, the roast duck is golden throughout, so the name is golden roast duck, do you say it is worth two hundred taels? ”

After listening to Liqiu's vivid explanation, Song Zhan's eyelids twitched. Okay, the golden pumpkins and begonia fruits that are rare for the royal nobles in the capital are fed to the ducks here. Is two hundred taels worth it?! The price of 20,000 taels for this duck doesn't seem to be too much.

Tong Qingyan didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and just wanted to pretend to be generous to stimulate Song Zhan, but saw him suddenly reach into his arms and take out a piece of jade pendant with a strange shape that was black all over.

Looking at the black jade pendant handed to her under her nose, Tong Qingyan looked at Song Zhan in confusion.

"The only thing I have value on me is this, I think this restaurant is not a pawnshop, I won't accept this, so I'll give you as compensation for the roast duck."

Tong Qingyan took the jade pendant with a trace of body temperature from the kindness, and motioned for the pearl to take out two hundred taels and hand it to Song Zhan.

"I took this jade pendant for the time being, you take these two hundred taels, you have to try the roast duck when you come, I will come to Ruyi Lou again in three days, and then you will take another two hundred taels to redeem this jade pendant, okay?"

This jade pendant is the grandfather Lao Huai Wang before his death pointed out the relics left to himself, and now it is also a helpless move to take it out, the sage said, the gentleman is trustworthy. Regarding Tong Qingyan's proposal, Song Zhan was in favor of one hundred people.

In the end, the three of them found a pavilion in the courtyard of Ruyi Building to sit down and chat, waiting for the golden roast duck to be baked.

Song Zhan talked about the style of the capital, and Tong Qingyan talked about the special food in the south of the Yangtze River. In the end, the two even had a feeling of hating each other.

Unconsciously, the three of them finished eating the delicious golden roast duck in the pavilion and ordered another table of dishes by the way to solve the dinner, and Tong Qingyan paid for the meal, but Song Zhan insisted on returning it together with two hundred taels after three days.

On the way back to the inn from Ruyi Building, Song Zhan looked up at the bright moon that was about to be completed, and sincerely sighed that the night in the south of the Yangtze River is as beautiful as the capital, and the ducks in the south of the Yangtze River are really expensive!
