Although it is not the upper room, as the shopkeeper said, the room is very clean and tidy, about more than ten square meters, divided into two rooms inside and outside, separated by a screen in the middle, because it is a south-facing room, open the window, you can see the faint green mountains in the distance, smell the salty and wet breath of the sea.

When the shop guy withdrew, Cang'er closed the door, and Banniang was already lying on the bed leisurely, and said with a smile: "But I'm tired and hungry." I'd like to take a shower and ask the guy to bring us the food to the room later. ”

Cang Er smiled: "Okay, I think the same way." You lie down for a while, and I'll go and ask the guy to bring hot water. ”

Her physical strength was not as good as that of Cang'er, and she didn't argue, and when Cang'er went, she looked at the room.

Because it is a coastal city, and from time to time there are foreign merchants to settle down, so the decoration of this house is also very different from the inland city, with some foreign customs. After looking at it for a while, Cang'er came back and asked, "Listen to the guy's introduction, the seafood here is good, what do you want to eat?" ”

Yellow croaker, sea crabs, lobsters, oysters, and all kinds of shellfish, she wants to eat, but she doesn't know how to do here, and then she thinks about her current body, she doesn't know if she can eat it, so she smiled: "After all, we don't have to worry about money, so ask them to pick up the signature dishes and serve a few things." ”

As he was talking, a man knocked on the door, saying that he was bringing hot water, and Cang'er responded, "Come in." ”

Waiting for the guy to send water, Cang'er asked Banniang to wash first, she still had to go to discuss the afternoon's itinerary with Master Guo and them in the afternoon, Banniang said: "If you want to go downstairs, just go downstairs to eat, and then discuss it." ”

Cang'er thought about it.

After the two of them finished washing up, they went downstairs, and Master Guo and the others had already waited downstairs.

The dish is ordered by Master Guo, and there are several times since he came to Quanzhou, and this inn is often settled, so there are any good dishes, and he is very familiar with it. In line with the principle of saving for the main family, the order is not expensive, but eating delicious dishes, there are also some fresh seafood, afraid that a few people taste it for the first time, eat discomfort, Master Guo reminded: "Although the fresh taste in the sea is delicious, but it is too cold, the two sons are also the first time to taste, each taste a little, if you eat bad stomach is not beautiful." ”

Banniang knew his kindness, so she smiled and said, "Master Xie Guo is kind." He called the guy again and asked if there was a lobster, and the guy smiled: "Yes, there is, but the lobsters are all booked by guests, if the son wants to try it, leave one for the son tomorrow?" ”

"How do you make lobsters here?"

"Speaking of which, there are a lot of methods," the guy introduced, and then asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Can you have green mustard?"

"Of course, there is." The guy laughed.

Banniang is not surprised, the Great Song Dynasty has all kinds of raw food, speaking of which, it is actually a country that pays great attention to food, which is also the reason why the business of restaurants is very hot no matter where it is.

He smiled and said, "Then let's have a dragon to scare and eat." ”

Ice is rare in Quanzhou, especially in this season, so the price is much more expensive, and the guy suggested with a smile: "If so, the price is much more expensive." It's not as good as ......."

"You just tell me how much a meal like this is."

The guy smiled: "According to the catty, one catty of shrimp is five times, and if you want to eat ice twice, you need to add another five times." ”

Banniang smiled: "Then tomorrow, the little brother will leave us a pound or so." ”

It will take twenty or thirty times to eat a shrimp, and even Master Guo is distressed, but what about the main family, it is not for them to speak. Only when the guy served the food and left, did Master Guo say: "If the son really likes it, the one who wants to be smaller is ......."

This Master Guo is a kind person, as soon as he took care of her and Cang'er, Banniang had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "It's rare to come on a trip, always ask everyone to eat well, and besides, this lobster is not the most expensive, if you have the opportunity to come again in the future, please ask the master to eat better." ”

Cang Erqi said: "You are also a first-time visitor, why do you seem to be familiar with the food here?" ”

She spent one-third of her previous life a year, and she was going to live in the Guangzhou area for a long time, so she naturally knew a lot about how to eat seafood, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten what I do?" The most famous restaurant in Nan Fung City, but when it comes to eating, I don't dare to say how good my cooking skills are, but when it comes to tasting, I am a master. It's a pity that we don't have enough now, and in a few years, when I make enough money, I will definitely travel all over the Great Song Kingdom and eat all the food in the world. ”

I heard a middle-aged man at the next table laugh and said: "This son is young, this volunteer, but not bad." I just listened to a sentence, Childe is from Nanfeng? ”

Banniang was stunned, she really didn't expect that her willingness to eat all the world's delicacies casually could also be called "not bad", and at a second glance, it was a gentleman with a good temperament, dressed in a white cotton leather shirt, and only a jasper flea on his head, who was busy hugging his fists and said with a smile: "Mr. praised it falsely." Xiaosheng is a native of Nanfeng. ”

The gentleman smiled and said, "Nanfeng has Mr. Zigu, but he is an amazing descendant." ”

Banniang said with a smile: "Mr. Meng praises Zeng Zigu as his brother." ”

"Oh?" The gentleman just heard Banniang mention the way to eat the lobster, a little curious, and heard her mention Nanfeng, seeing that she was young, not mentioning studying and going to school, but she had the ambition to eat all over the world, and felt a little interesting. And because Zeng Zigu in Nanfeng City learned it, he just said such a sentence casually, but he didn't expect that the little boy in front of him would be Zeng Zigu's brother, and he couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't expect this." How is your father now? I once read your father's "Treatise on the Times" and was very impressed. ”

"My father is very good, but I didn't expect that my husband was an old friend of my father, and it was just a rude little nephew." Banniang hurriedly got up and saluted.

The man also accepted it politely, and then asked Banniang: "I haven't met your father, but I have read your father's articles and admire them in my heart." By the way, your Zeng family is a family of poetry and books, I just heard what you said about restaurants, and what did you mention to make enough money and eat all over the world, don't you like to study, but go all the way in business? ”

Banniang made a ashamed expression and said with a smile: "It's not that the little nephew doesn't like to read, it's just that the brothers in the family read well, and there are always people who have to be busy with their livelihoods, and the little nephew feels that not only reading can serve the country, if it can prosper the country's economy, promote the circulation of goods, and create more taxes for the country, it may not be the way to serve the country. Having said all this, I haven't asked my husband for his surname. ”

The man heard Banniang say that doing business is also a way to serve the country, but he showed interest, nodded, and said: "My surname is Cai, my name is Junmo, you call me uncle, it's just that." ”

Cai Junmo? Isn't this the owner of the calligraphy on the folding fan that the second brother gave him?

Banniang's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed, isn't this now serving as a transfer envoy in Fujian? At the beginning, she also wanted to trust the relationship with Lu Seventeen's uncle, and wanted to follow the path of Lord Cai Junmo and take a free ship from Shanghai businessmen.

But I didn't expect to meet in such a situation today.

"Yes, Uncle Cai," Banniang hid her joy, but her face became more and more respectful, "You are from Quanzhou?" Speaking of which, the little nephew has always admired his uncle's calligraphy, and last year the second brother had awarded a folding fan by the uncle to the little nephew, and the little nephew also received it as a baby, and he has never been willing to use it. ”

Cai Junmo is also funny, this kid actually likes his calligraphy, but he doesn't know where he is from.

"It's rare that you like it." Cai Junmo said with a smile, "I'm not from Quanzhou, I'm just passing by Quanzhou on business, and I just stopped by to see my friends." If you have met it, sit down and eat with me. ”

When Banniang saw the invitation, she was worried about how to talk to him, where would she resign? Then he sat down: "Then I will disturb my uncle." After sitting down, he pointed to a few people on his table, "These are the masters in my workshop, and the dart master who invited him to accompany him, and the other son is dressed as a friend of the little nephew." ”

"Workshop?"

"Yes, the little nephew is not talented, opened a carpentry shop, this time back to Quanzhou, also because of business matters, want to buy some timber in Quanzhou, and also try their luck to see if they can get acquainted with a few maritime merchants, and it is convenient to buy some foreign precious timber in the future. However, most of the maritime merchants deal in gold, silver and jade from overseas, and there is no real wood sale now, so it is a bit difficult. The little nephew is a first-time businessman, and he doesn't know a maritime businessman, so he is just exploring the way. ”

Cai Junmo didn't expect that he looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he already ran a workshop, although he was a standard reader, he also looked at Baniang differently. He nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Zeng family to have a talent for business." What did you just say about going overseas to buy wood, isn't this a reluctance to seek the near and far? There is no shortage of wood in my Great Song, right? ”

"Uncle misunderstood, it's not that we have a shortage of wood in the Great Song Dynasty, but there are a lot of precious timber, which is not produced in my Great Song Dynasty. And now we trade with the Song Dynasty more than 40 countries, many of which happen to be rich in these precious timber, so the little nephew is very tempted, so he came to Quanzhou to try. ”

Cai Junmo said: "At your age, you have never been to sea, and I have never heard anyone say what precious timber is abundant in overseas countries, and how do you know?" ”
