Fifty-fourth Three years later
The carriage drove into the city gate, and the man sitting in the car poked his head out and looked at the bustling market, "Yo, this Jinan Mansion is different, compared to our Datong, but it is much cleaner......"
As he spoke, he simply sat on the wheel, not afraid of the cold, tightened the fox fur coat on his body, looked left and right, and looked like everything was fresh.
"I haven't seen the world, I can't afford to lose that face when I turn around and let people say that you are a bun and entered the city!"
A hand stretched out in the car and pulled the curtain, although only one hand was exposed, but the pigeon-egg-sized ruby on the yellow ring on the hand was very ostentatious.
"Isn't it just a Jinan mansion? Who dares to say that the master is a dirt bun, and the master will immediately smash him to death with gold leaves! The young man snorted, stretched out his hand and patted the big man who was driving the car, "Old Wu, go and inquire, where is the best restaurant in Jinan?" Let's go have a good meal first! I'll see Xiao Liu again......"
"Still Xiao Liu? I heard that Liu Yuan has been prosperous in the past few years, but he is not the little hairy boy who went to Shanxi back then, this is on other people's territory, you should give me some peace of mind! ”
Hearing the sound coming from the car, the man pouted, "Big brother, no matter how beautiful he is, he may not be richer than us, you politely call him Boss Liu, if you are not polite, call him Xiao Liu, that is to give him face." ”
"Nonsense!" The person in the car scolded, but did not say any more, obviously in his heart, he also agreed with this,.. Words.
While the brothers were talking, the coachman who had just gone to inquire had already turned back, "The big official, the second official, I just asked." I heard that the best restaurant in Jinan is Shuangshu Building. Where are we going to eat? ”
"That's nature!" The young man nodded. The head was biased, and there was a strange sentence "The name of this restaurant?" It's not two who drove it, right?! ”
When I arrived at the restaurant, it was just in time for dinner. At first glance, this restaurant is really prosperous, with the magnificent Huanmen outside the door, and the corridor separated from the inner door is faintly shaking.
The young man didn't look at anything else, but at this, his heart was already moving. I don't know what the Kabuki sitting under this porch looks like? If only it were like them. It's all remnants of flowers and willows, but it's unappetizing.
When he walked into the restaurant with the guy who greeted him, he tilted his head to take a closer look, but unfortunately he was blocked by the low-hanging beaded curtains, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Upstairs, the private room ...... private room," he called, he turned his head and nodded to the middle-aged man behind him, "Big brother, let's have fun with each other today!" ”
"I don't know what you're thinking?" With a snort, the middle-aged man lifted his finger with the big ruby ring. stroked his beard and said lightly: "If you want to call it, call it!" Left and right is away from home......"
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this. As soon as you sit down, you have to call the Kabuki to serve. But when he was led to the second floor by the guy, he was not happy.
"You guy has no eyesight, can't you afford it? Why don't you lead us up to the third floor?! ”
The guy was not annoyed, he called a thousand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, the private rooms upstairs are already full, and I ask the two guest officers to be wronged." ”
"Are you looking down on ......"
"Second brother," glanced at the young man, the middle-aged man sat down with a smile, and beckoned to the guy, "Just sit here!" Give me the name of the dish first. ”
The guy smiled, but didn't report the name of the dish, but sent him a thick booklet, "You two read the recipe first, and the small one will make a pot of tea." ”
The man retreated, and the middle-aged man opened the recipe with a strange face, but when he saw a book full of lively dishes, he didn't know which one to choose.
"Second brother, look at it, this restaurant is really a little strange."
The young man snorted twice, took the recipe, just looked at it, and his face changed slightly, "Hey, big brother, look at this picture, I read the 'Mr. Mingqing' in the lower right corner, right?" ”
The middle-aged man tilted his head and recognized it for a while, but before he could react, he just nodded, and the young man had already exclaimed excitedly: "Do you know how much a painting of 'Mr. Mingqing' is?" Is there any mistake, actually helped a restaurant draw this dish......
Although it is engraved and printed, it is not the real version, but he has never seen such a restaurant with famous paintings to make recipes. Moreover, it's also strange that there are really famous artists who are willing to draw this recipe?!
Strange in his heart, when the young man came, he asked out loud. Obviously, it was not the first time someone had asked this, so the guy smiled and poured tea for the two of them, and said, "The two guest officers don't know, our host's ...... I am good friends with this gentleman. ”
The young man's voice was a little vague, and the young man didn't hear clearly for a while whether he was talking about the owner, or who the owner was, and wanted to ask again, but the middle-aged man had already stopped him, "What kind of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' came to a place before I heard this name in Datong, it turned out to be the specialty of your restaurant." ”
"Yo, guest officer, this is a little bit of a dilemma. Our restaurant has rules, 'Buddha jumping over the wall' has to be booked one day in advance, and you can't order it now......"
When the young man heard this, he became angry, "The officials have eaten so many restaurants, and they have never heard of any dishes that they still have to order." What kind of 'Buddha' are you, why are you so expensive! ”
The man jumped to his feet, but the young man was still steady, and just replied with a smile: "Back to the guest officer, this dish is very particular, you are a foreigner and don't understand, if you listen to the small explanation, you will know that this dish is indeed expensive." To say, this 'Buddha jumping over the wall' is a famous dish that our owner won the first place in the Jinan Cooking Competition three years ago. Among the ingredients are abalone, sea cucumber, ham and other eighteen staple foods, and they are ...... with special methods."
"What do you say so much? What do I care you do? You happily ask the kitchen to cook this dish for me. Otherwise, you go and see, which table will transfer the dish they ordered to the masters, and the grandfathers really have to eat this dish today! ”
The young man frowned, "It's not like this before. But I'm afraid that no one will transfer it, and even if it is transferred, I am afraid that you will have to double the price with the officials......"
"How much? You're not short of money! The man reached for his purse, but froze in his sleeve when he heard the young man speak.
"How much? Two hundred taels? You little free cub want to rob it?! ”
As soon as he heard the man scolding him, the young man was not happy, "This guest officer, you said that you want to discuss the transfer of other tables, and the little one has to help ask!" Which one of us is not a big family? Those who can afford to eat this ninety-nine taels of silver dish are even more dignitaries. The little ones really don't dare to ask! ”
The young man's face changed, and he was about to make a move as soon as he got up and rolled up his sleeves, but the young man flashed back, and was about to call someone, when he heard someone laugh and said, "Yo, isn't this Lu Erguan?" What's going on, what kind of song are you going to sing in Jinan? ”
Lu Erguan's face changed, he turned his head, looked at the handsome young man who was speaking, and pursed his lips, "Liu ......" heard a cough from the eldest brother who was getting up, and he temporarily changed it again, "Boss Liu, you haven't grown up in the past two years, you look like an adult." ”
"Second Brother Lu is kidding me again? I'm already an adult! Although he has not yet reached the year of the weak crown, he held the crown ceremony last year.
Liu Yuan smiled and bowed his hand, and greeted the middle-aged man affectionately, "Brother Lu, I haven't seen you all these years, but you want to kill me......"
Lu Daguan also laughed, and said lightly: "I, the eldest brother, often think of Brother Liu. It's just that I heard that my brother has made a fortune in the past two years, but I'm afraid that you won't recognize me as an old brother when you come. ”
"How so?" Liu Yuan laughed, glanced at the young man, and said with a smile: "Go upstairs and say that I have a guest, don't go up first, and when the king finishes eating, I will go back by myself." ”
turned around and smiled: "Two eldest brothers, the younger brother is also a landlord, please give the two of you a face, and the younger brother will invite the two of you to dinner today......
Seeing Liu Yuan's intention to turn around and leave, Lu Erguan frowned, "Didn't you say that this Shuangshu Lou is the best restaurant in Jinan?" ”
He couldn't hide his words in his heart, no matter if the eldest brother was staring at him from behind.
Liu Yuan smiled and said lightly: "If you want to talk about restaurants, this is indeed the best restaurant in Jinan." But if you want to compare with Yiyuan, there are some two big brothers who have just arrived, and the younger brother will naturally invite you to the best club! ”
"Club?" It's the first time I've heard that word. Not only was Lu Er strange, but even Lu Da brushed his beard.
The group of three got into the carriage, and after less than half an hour, the carriage finally came down.
Lu Er's heart was so anxious that he jumped out of the carriage first. I fixed my eyes, but I felt that I was standing in front of a garden.
The continuous white pink tiles, the vermilion gate, and the plaque are just two ink characters "Yiyuan". At first glance, it looks like the mansion of a wealthy family.
"This is a place to eat?" Looking at the little guy who came up to help the groom tie the horse, Lu Er raised his eyebrows and muttered in his heart.
Look, in the open space near the left in front of the door, there are also a few carriages, and it seems that there are really people.
Liu Yuan smiled and didn't speak, and when the little guy called the door, he walked straight in.
When I entered the door, two young girls standing in front of the door had already stepped forward.
"Boss Liu," although he greeted him, the girl with a round face and a smile and two dimples still said, "Please show your membership card." ”
Liu Yuan didn't speak, but directly took out a card from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.
Lu Er's eyes glanced at it, and he could see that it was a famous thorn made by Zhang Jinzi, although he couldn't see what was engraved on it, but this Liu Yuan was now stabbed in the name of pure gold, and it was really stabbed.
Liu Yuan looked back and smiled: "My membership card is ranked fifth!" It's a pity that she was stingy and gave away the first few to others, otherwise I would have to say a 001 ......"
didn't understand what Liu Yuan meant, Lu Er still wanted to ask, but was pulled down by Lu Da. Knowing that the eldest brother was afraid that he would be like a dirt bun, Lu Er thought about it, although he was unhappy, he also kept his mouth shut.
Someone led the way, and the road was smooth. The more they walked, the more frightened the Lu brothers became.
The eaves hanging bell in the distance, the octagonal pavilion near is exquisite, there is a stream around the garden, there are flowers and plants in the four seasons to enjoy, although it is now all the way to see only the red plum in full bloom, the verdant green pine, but it is enough to make people's eyes shine. Moreover, the weather is not yet warm, but the water of the stream has not frozen, and it is obviously living water.
I don't know what kind of garden this is, what kind of club it is, what kind of place it is? There is such a big garden in Jinan, but it is not something that ordinary people can do. (To be continued.) )
