Qian Wen beckoned to the restaurant guy and asked about the drink.
The guy said loudly: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, the drinks in our restaurant are all brewed from old grains." ”
Qian Wen exclaimed, "No wonder this wine is a little astringent and the taste is not pure." Dare to love is brewed with stale grain. Tell me, what year is the wine made from the old grain? ”
"I don't know what year of old grain is used to make wine, but I don't know if it's small. The drinks were all brought in from the county hall. There is a wine and vinegar room under the county guard's yamen, and as long as you have money, you can buy alcohol. ”
"How long has the county guard of Pingyang County been in office, and he has already built a wine and vinegar room and started trading, this speed is fast enough!"
The guy laughed, "Pingyang County may not be able to do anything else, but it is fast." If the guest officer had come last month, it would still be a barren mountain, and there would still be bandits in the mountain. The county guard personally led the troops into the mountains to suppress the bandits. Early tomorrow morning, if you are lucky, you can still see the scene of the county soldiers escorting the mountain bandits to the construction site outside the city. ”
Hearing what the guy said, many people in the restaurant were interested and asked.
"Those mountain bandits don't kill their heads?"
"Don't kill your head! All of them are covered in fat, what a pity to kill. ”
"All of them were escorted to the construction site to work as coolies?"
"Yes! To build a city, to dig ditches, to build dikes, coolies are needed everywhere. These mountain bandits, as the county keeper said, are heinous crimes, and it is too cheap to kill them with one sword, and they are all pulled to do coolies and labor reform. To say the least, it would take ten or eight years to forgive their sins. ”
"It's a good way to work hard, and it's a good way to make the best use of people."
"The county keeper is insightful!"
"Ming'er is not in a hurry, let's take a look at the rarity and excitement first."
The atmosphere of the restaurant suddenly became warm.
Although everyone dislikes the broken wine in the broken restaurant, the taste is too astringent and not easy to eat.
But these days, when you are out on the road, it is not easy to have a place to drink.
After being hungry for a few days, don't care if the taste of the wine is astringent, let's make a pot of wine first.
Press it with the appetizer to barely suppress the astringent taste of the sake.
"Oh, man, your restaurant doesn't look very good, and there is even sauce beef, cow!"
Beef is rare in these years, and it is really rare to be able to eat soy sauce beef in a small broken restaurant in a remote area.
The guy hurriedly asked, "Do you want a copy from the guest officer?" Our sauced beef, using a century-old secret recipe, tastes very different from before. People who have eaten it say yes! ”
"Old one, taste it. Let's see if it's as good as you say. ”
"Okay! Have a beef sauce. ”
Qian Wen and Wu Daochang said: "Sauce beef and wine, if the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, we will also have one." ”
Wu Daochang stroked his beard and smiled deeply, "Master Qian has a heart." ”
Qian Wen immediately beckoned his man and asked for a sauce beef.
Wu Ju whispered: "This restaurant looks broken, and the dishes taste good." ”
Qian Wen hurriedly said: "It's good that Daoist Wu is satisfied." Taste the taste, do you feel a little similar to the north and south restaurants in Beijing? ”
"What Mr. Qian means is that this restaurant is Mrs. Yan's property, and he does business with Mrs. Yan's secret recipe."
Qian Wen smiled, "Why don't you call the guy over and ask?" ”
Daochang Wu took the lead in nodding, "Ask!" ”
He also wanted to know if the shops in the checkpoint were all Mrs. Yan's property.
The guy came over with a beef sauce.
Qian Wen asked Daochang Wu to taste it first.
Wu Daochang nodded and commented: "Not bad!" ”
After that, Qian Wen and Wu Ju stretched out their chopsticks.
Oh, that's not bad!
This smell is hungry to death.
Qian Wen pulled the guy and asked, "The chef of your restaurant, did you work in the north and south restaurants in the capital before?" ”
"Back to the guest officer, I haven't heard of the North and South Restaurant. Our cook, who is also the boss, is a native of Binh Duong. ”
Hey?
Qian Wen was curious, "Your boss is amazing!" Where did you learn this craft? ”
"Naturally, I learned it from the county guard's house."
"Sure enough, it's Mrs. Yan's property."
"What the guest officer said is right and not true."
"Tell me what's wrong."
"Back to the guest officer, in this restaurant, Mrs. Yan's North and South Commercial Houses do have shares, but our boss is also a shareholder. Even I, a buddy, have lost some shares. Business is good, and there are dividends at the end of the year. ”
Qian Wen was very surprised when he heard this pattern.
"I see that the business of your restaurant is not bad, how can Mrs. Yan be willing to come up with a secret recipe and let you become a shareholder?"
"The little one doesn't know what Mrs. Yan thinks. However, the little one remembers that Mrs. Yan said that everyone earns money. It is necessary to let everyone in Binh Duong County have enough to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in. Our boss used to be a restaurant chef. Later, when the disaster occurred, the owner ran away, the restaurant closed down, and our boss lost his livelihood, so he once built a dam on the riverbank to live. A few days ago, a notice was posted in the city to find a group of cooks, and my boss turned over, and the small ones were also stained. ”
Qian sighed twice, and was very emotional in his heart.
He asked again: "What kind of chase shop and tea shop next door to you are also run by Mrs. Yan with someone to co-operate?" ”
"Guest officer Takami! The shops in our row are all joint stock businesses. We can also be regarded as having our backs against the big trees to enjoy the shade. ”
Qian Wen laughed, "Well said! It is indeed a good shade with their backs to the big trees, and how many people want to tie up the county lord's mansion, but they can't enter it. As for you, pie in the sky, the opportunity has been sent to you. And I see, business is not bad.
However, as the saying goes, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. After this wave of wind, have you ever thought about whether this small restaurant still has business? ”
"Yes, of course there will be business. In the future, merchants from all over the world will come to our Pingyang County to do business. At that time, the business of our restaurant must have been even better than it is now. ”
When the shopkeeper said this, he looked very proud and confident.
Qian Wen sighed.
He was very curious about what kind of ecstasy soup the Pingyang County Lord's Mansion had poured into these people to make them so blindly confident.
This is the chaos of the last days of the dynasty!
There is a possibility of war at any time, where does the confidence come from?
Why did the people of Binh Duong County assume that they would not fight in this place?
He casually asked, "If there is a war one day, this business will not be able to be done." ”
The guy smiled happily, "It's also a good thing to make money for three or five years." The future is now worrying, and it is too difficult for us to be small. Would the guest officer want to add two more drinks and dishes? ”
"Okay! Chat with us, not to mention two wines and dishes, I can also eat all of the four or five wines and dishes for you. Another jug of wine, let's chatter. ”
"Okay! What else does the guest officer want to eat, as long as there is one, it is guaranteed to make you comfortable. ”
Qian Wen ordered four or five more appetizers, all of which were meat dishes.
Wu Daochang smiled and said nothing, and he didn't stop him.
After a while, the food and wine were ready.
The guy took the time to chat with them at the table.
Chatting and chatting, they realized that the guy was literate.
What a surprise!
Reading and literacy is a luxury.
It's too rare for a little guy to be literate.
Qian Wen pulled the guy and didn't let go, "Tell the big guy, your ancestors are in trouble from a rich and noble family, so they have the opportunity to read and break words." ”
The guest officer laughed again. My ancestors were all mud-legged for eight generations, and when they were the poorest, they were hungry for three days and three nights, and they didn't even have a thin mouth. Not to mention reading, I haven't even seen what a book looks like. ”
"Then how can you be literate?"
"Hey...... Let the guest officer laugh, in fact, I know seventy or eighty words, all of which are dish names. The North and South Commercial Banks have run literacy classes, and guys like me have to go into the literacy class to know a few words before they can work in the restaurant. This is just the beginning, in the next year or two, you have to continue to read and write, and there will be an assessment every three months. If you fail to pass the assessment, you will have to deduct money. We're under too much pressure, and it's hard to earn this little salary! ”
When everyone heard this, they were amazed.
"I've never heard that the restaurant guy has to read and break words."
"The North and South Commercial Bank runs literacy classes, isn't it to teach these guys literacy for free?"
"The guest officer is right, it's free."
There was a lot of talking.
Some people have already criticized the practice of running free literacy classes, which is insulting.
A group of mud legs, who deserve a lifetime of mud legs.
actually took the initiative to give these clay legs a chance to read and hyphenate, so how did they get it.
In the future, everyone will be literate, and the world will not be chaotic.
Everyone goes to study and become officials, who is willing to work in the fields and be slaves and maids to large families.
It's not right, it's not right!
Qian Wen didn't care what others said, he only cared about Daochang Wu's opinion.
"The North and South Commercial Banks hold literacy classes, what do you think about this?"
Wu Daochang cherished the words like gold, "Very good! ”
"Okay?" Qian Wen seemed to hesitate, "It seems that Daoist Xiao Wu doesn't approve of running a literacy class." ”
Wu Ju waved his hand again and again, "Master Qian misunderstood, I didn't disapprove." ”
"Why is Daoist Xiao Wu looking solemn?"
"I just can't figure out the purpose of Mrs. Yan's move. Can a father help his son? ”
Wu Daochang smiled, "If you can't figure it out, then go and see, listen, and think carefully." Slowly, I naturally understood the intention of Mrs. Yan's move. ”
Qian Wen nodded again and again, "It's still insightful to be a Taoist." For the rest of the journey, if the Taoist chief does not dislike it, we will go together. I don't know what to do in the long run? ”
Wu Daochang did not object, someone is willing to invite guests to dinner, why not.
Qian Wen looked happy and very happy.
With his old and spicy eyes, he had long seen that Daochang Wu was a person with real skills, and he was definitely not a fake Taoist priest who was swaggering and deceiving.
He pondered, and when he got closer, he asked Daochang Wu to calculate a hexagram for him.
Why didn't Qian Fu directly throw money and ask Wu Daochang to tell his fortune?
Because, he thinks that a master like Wu Daochang is definitely not rare and not short of money to spend.
Throwing money directly, not to mention cheesy, it's easy to offend people!
Besides, throwing money at it, how much counts?
Is it a hundred, or five hundred, or a thousand......
There is no accurate number, and it is very easy to offend people if it is not handled properly.
It's okay to offend anyone, but you can't offend these Taoists who have real skills.
Secretly, people do a trick and get a little trick, you can make your family bankrupt and your family ruined.
Therefore, you are willing to offer, take time to get closer, and don't spend money on fortune telling.
