After everyone sat down, the shopkeeper poured tea and asked, "What is the taste of the masters?" ”

"I have heard for a long time that the chef of Taolou has excellent skills, and I have come to taste it today, no matter what I have, I have all the specialty dishes in the store, regardless of meat and vegetarian, just one requirement, authentic and clean!" Lu Wang took a sip of the teacup gently, the tea was a little bitter.

"Okay" shop Xiao Er is happy, this Nima is a high roller at a glance, do not look at the menu, regardless of the price, absolutely the style of the wealthy guests: "Young master, you can rest assured, the small one will specially explain the kitchen, our store is Lao Tzu, very authentic, the materials are also exquisite, even the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea are specially purchased by the Lu family commercial building......"

Hey...... Hearing this, Lu Wang frowned slightly, "Wait a minute, the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are all purchased by the Lu family?" ”

"Yes, yes, presumably this young master also knows that the Lu family's commercial building is the property of the God King, and those things are all purchased by the God King from ****......"

"I want the original, whether it is the ingredients or the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, you must use local, understand?" Lu Wan suddenly interrupted him and pointed his finger at the table, word by word.

",,,,Okay, okay, okay, everything will be done according to what you say", the shopkeeper was stunned and immediately changed his smile and ran towards the back kitchen.

Bang, just as Xiao Er turned to leave, Lu Wang suddenly heard someone clapping, and then a voice sounded: "This little brother is exquisite, authentic!" ”

Hey, Lu Wang followed the prestige, but he was a neighbor with five or six uncles, the youngest of whom was in his forties, and the one who applauded and spoke must be in his sixties.

Oh, Lu Wang smiled slightly, clasped his fists and saluted the old man: "The old man is polite, I don't know how to say this." What is exaggerated, or what is small?"

Ha ha! The old man laughed with his tablemates, and then stretched out his hand in the direction of Lu Wang: "Young man, see that you have an extraordinary bearing, the old man can call you big brother."

Hey, is Lao Tzu's temperament so extraordinary now, Lu Wang muttered in his heart. With a smile on his face, he said to the old man, "If you haven't asked what Big Brother is called, what do you mean by what you said just now?" ”

"The old man's surname is Sun, you can call me Brother Sun", the old grandson has fiery eyes, although Lu Wang is dressed plainly, but when he sees the few people around him respectfully, plus Lu Wang's long-term battle, he naturally has a powerful aura on his body. So he quickly deduced that Lu Wang came from an extraordinary way, and naturally he didn't dare to hold it up: "What is this little brother's name?" ”

"Contemptible surname Wang", Lu Wang smiled faintly and looked at the old grandson.

"Little Brother Wang, your bearing is extraordinary", Lao Sun Tou picked up the teacup in front of him and nodded it to Lu Wang, and then took a sip and put it down: "If the name of the god king is today, the name will shock the world." No one is more powerful than anyone else, and everyone in the world clings to each other...... To put it mildly. The God King's urine and urine are all divine springs, but the little brother is different from those ordinary people, and he disdains the Lu family, which the old man appreciates quite a lot, and from the old man's point of view, the origin of the God King is mysterious. But the things brought are not necessarily good things, don't say anything else, just talk about the oil, it looks crystal clear, what the Lu family is boasting about is the **** special elixir jade liquid, let's talk nonsense. What's the use of just looking good, is it delicious, does it have a taste? Let's take a look at our local authentic oil, whether it is lard or vegetable oil, which pot is not full of aroma......"

Forehead...... Lu Wang and a few guards were stunned, I didn't expect this little old man to talk endlessly, and it seemed to really make that sense, and it was just Lu Wang's first hearing that he was using his own oil was really disappointing, saying that in this era, whether it is oil or raw materials, it is pure natural and really fragrant, although many technologies in later generations have surpassed the present, but all kinds of chemical processing, raw material pollution, taste or something.

"Brother Sun seems to be a little dissatisfied with the God King?" Lu Wang picked up the teacup and looked at Old Man Sun with a slight smile, deliberately using the word yes.

Sure enough, Old Man Sun took the bait, "I don't dare to be dissatisfied, the god king came to the world, and it is a good thing that the southern and northern wars have eliminated many military disasters for the country and the people, but some things make people feel that he is too petty."

"Angry?" Lu Wang felt very puzzled, Lao Tzu is still stingy? Lao Tzu is still stingy.

"Don't you think so? By the way, I don't know if my brother's family can make a living? Old man Sun suddenly asked.

"Oh, the family owner of a rice shop, what about my brother?" Lu Wan asked quietly.

"The old man opened a cloth village, and these friends are also doing some other livelihoods," Old Man Sun said lightly.

Lu Wang suddenly had an epiphany, "What did my brother say about business taxes?" ”

"That's right"! Old man Sun patted the table lightly, "It's not easy for us to make a living, this god king has raised the business tax dozens of times in a word, his Lu family has a big business, and the business is not good, of course it is not bad for this money, but we are ......"

"The Lu family has a big business and a big business, but there are also a lot of taxes to teach", Lu Wang smiled faintly, "Besides, this commercial tax is just a business tax, I don't think it's too much, and besides, doing some business casually is hundreds of times stronger than the people who farm the land, the agricultural tax is so high, the common people have not gritted their teeth for many years, and the old brother is not satisfied with the money he earns."

"Hey, why do you say that," another middle-aged man at the next table looked displeased, "It's okay to take these taxes according to the original business, but the Lu family's goods are too wide of industries, especially some large families and special Lu family's goods, and now it's difficult to do business."

"Oh, it's hard to blame the Lu family?" Lu Wang smiled again: "The big families are hot, isn't the market for ordinary people left to you, the times are changing, you also have to learn to be flexible, don't always be jealous of others, the Lu family makes a lot of money, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are all raised by the Lu family!" Lou Wan snorted coldly and turned his head away from speaking.

"And, this kid" Old man Sun scolded in a low voice, thinking that there was a topic, but he didn't expect that there was still an iron fan of the Lu family in his bones.

This scolding was naturally heard clearly by Lu Wang, he didn't care, but a few guards couldn't sit still, but they didn't dare to do anything without Lu Wang's order, but one of them couldn't help it, and sneered at the next door: "A few masters, you criticize the god king like this, aren't you afraid of being targeted?" ”

"Who, Jinyiwei is still from the Military Discipline Department?" Old man Sun smiled, "Don't say anything else, the old man still appreciates this point of the God King, the old man has to talk to him several times a day, but he doesn't see any trouble coming to the door!" ”

"Hey, be careful when you walk at night and encounter more ghosts", the guard snorted coldly, and he didn't want to scare the old man.

However, Lu Wang chuckled lightly and said that he was very happy, it seems that the military discipline department is equal to Jinyiwei in the hearts of the people of Daming, and it is obvious that the military discipline department is not as frightening as Jinyiwei, which is also what Lu Wang wants to see, he wants to use the military discipline department as an ear to listen to the people's voices, instead of blocking the hands of the people.

As for the few businessmen at the next table, in fact, they represent the mentality of most businessmen in this era, or the mentality of wealthy families, they are needless to say that they are very disgusted with Luwang, because many of Rwan's policies are harmful to their interests, and it is precisely the people of this class who are either rich or noble The influence is relatively huge, which is also the reason why the bigwigs who want to reform in the past dynasties want to cut but have no confidence, and Chongzhen dares to cut not because he has much courage, but because there is a big man like Luwang behind him.

Don't speculate more than half a sentence, the two tables of people each move their minds to their seats, money can make the ghost grind, when Lu Wang just lit a cigarette, the shopkeeper was on the fart, of course, it is four cold dishes with wine, very appropriate dishes of the times, braised peanuts, cut beef, shredded chicken, cold green radish, this season wants to eat cold cucumbers is impossible, even the palace is not.

"Hey, little brother, where did you buy these cigarettes, but there is any surplus?" Just when Lu Wang just wanted to move his chopsticks, a voice sounded at the next table again, and he turned his head to look at a middle-aged man at Old Man Sun's table.

"Is there anything else selling this cigarette?" Rwan shrugged.

"Oh, is the Lu family commercial building, it's impossible, it's been out of stock for a long time, brother, are you sure you didn't buy it from the black market?" The middle-aged man looked incredulous.

Black market? Lu Wang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, not to mention that cigarettes are rare at this time, they are so many black market transactions in later generations, not to mention that in these years, in addition to a small amount of supplies in various commercial buildings, most of them supply soldiers to the army to pass the lonely time, so that there is almost no shadow in the market.

Because those sold in commercial buildings are either retained by the store, such as the Lu family commercial building represented by King De, or they are swept away by some local rich owners as soon as they are listed, and it is almost impossible to buy them, and at this time there is a black market, and the sources of the black market are two, and the local tyrants buy them and take them out to sell at a high price, which flows out of the army, after all, the discount for active military personnel to buy cigarettes is very low.

"Believe it or not" Lou Wan smiled faintly, not going to pay attention to him, because he saw the figure of the bobcat, and this guy finally came.

"Little brother, don't be so stingy, tell my brother where I have to sell, or you have extra goods on hand, share a little ...... me" The middle-aged man seemed to be a big smoker, looking at the cigarette in Lu Wang's hand, and swallowed and foamed at the mouth in a hurry.

Lu Wang didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, so he waved his hand casually, "No, free this bag, if you want it, take it for twenty taels of silver!" ”

"! The price of sitting on the ground"! The middle-aged man couldn't help but swear a swear word, and Lu Wang rolled his eyes impatiently: "There's no money to roll calves."

"Hey, how do you talk?" The middle-aged man was reluctant and got up, but immediately coaxed again, because several of the bobcat's guards stood up and stared at him!

"Ignore him, drink, talk about things" Lu Wang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times: "Well, delicious, fragrant, authentic!" Saying that, he drank the wine again, "Good wine, it's just that the degree is a little lower" After speaking, he turned his head sideways and skimmed Old Man Sun's table, "Don't pretend to be forced in front of my brother, otherwise I will drink too much later, and I will let you see what it means to pretend to be a king!" ”

"Sick!" The few people at Old Man Sun's table couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Come, drink and drink, don't bother him." (To be continued.) )
