Xu Wu glanced at the heavy silver ingots in Zhou Yin's hand, which were twenty taels.

This meal, at most, is only worth one or two, and it is not worth it.

Sure enough, it came from Changge City, and the shot was generous.

Zhou Yin put away the money, his face was full of joy, can he be happy, these twenty taels have caught up with his profit for a month.

"Brother Xu, why did you just say so much to them?"

Zhou Yin looked sideways and saw that Xu Wu had been staring at the table that had just left, so he asked. In fact, he didn't want to talk too much about right and wrong with others, and only when he saw that they were outsiders could he talk a few words.

Xu Wu's eyes flashed, and he pressed it on his shoulder, "I don't think these people are simple, I have a hunch that your restaurant will come back soon." ”

Zhou Yin looked at him, his gaze fixed on his rarely solemn face, then smiled and said, "Come back?" he shook his head, "With him, he can't come back one day tomorrow." ”

He felt guilty, his father-in-law's ancestral business was seized like this, and he was useless and incapable.

Fortunately, although the ancestral business is lost, the signboard is still there, if he even loses the century-old signboard, he will be speechless to face his father-in-law even if he dies.

Zhou Yin is an optimistic character, and for a moment, he smiled again.

What if you are not optimistic, life has to go on as usual. It's hard every day, and others are annoyed when they see it, so it's better to relax your heart, at least you can feel a little more comfortable.

He pulled Xu Wu, "Brother, you came by chance today, I have developed a new dish, how about you help me taste it." With that, he pulled Xu Wu to the kitchen.

Not long after Xiao Junjue returned to the mansion, He Taishou, who had never shown up, came to the door and asked to see him.

I knew that he was on the street, and I was afraid that I would know something, so I came to find out.

Xiao Junjue asked people to lead him to the flower hall, and he rubbed in the backyard for a long time before he came out slowly.

Obviously, this He Taishou is impatient, pacing back and forth in the hall, looking impatient, afraid that Xiao Junjue will go home if he doesn't come out again.

As soon as Xiao Junjue Fu appeared, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with an official-standard smile on his face, that is, respectful and decent, "Weichen pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Chu, yesterday because he was entangled in official business, he did not go to the city gate to greet His Highness, please forgive Your Highness." ”

Xiao Junjue looked at it a few times, pointed to the nearest seat next to him and asked him to sit down, and said, "It seems that He Taishou is really a good official for the country and the people." ”

He Yingming "oh" in his heart, I don't know what the king of Chu means.

Is it to blame him for not going to greet him, or is it something he heard in a private interview with Weifu today.

He beat a drum in his heart, but he has been an official for many years, and he has never seen any scene or anyone, so he can naturally do it without changing his face.

He stood up and said, "Wechen doesn't dare to get His Highness's false praise, but the food of the king's Lu bears the king's worries, the saint trusts the minister, and hands over a state to the minister to govern, and the wechen naturally have to bow down and die, so as not to live up to the saint's Longen." ”

High-sounding words, speaking better than singing.

Xiao Junjue's gaze fell on him lightly, and said, "It's rare." ”

Regarding the reaction of King Chu, the drum in He Yingming's heart became louder and louder.

Yesterday, he didn't go to the city gate to greet him, it was nothing more than to give the king of Chu a dismount, and wanted him to know that even though he was a vassal lord, he was the Taishou of Yizhou, entrenched in Yizhou for many years, and had a deep and stable foundation.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, it is the prince, and if he doesn't want to give him face, he won't give it.

But he won't let it go, looking for someone to keep an eye on the movements of the king of Chu at all times, and today when he learned that he had a private visit, he couldn't calm down, lest he hear something, so he came over to find out.

But this King of Chu spoke very little, and he looked cold and unapproachable, just looking at his appearance, he didn't have any expression, and he really couldn't find anything.

This time, my heart is bottomless.

He Yingming came to the door with a gift, and asked the entourage to put things on the table in the hall, and he said with a smile: "Weichen doesn't know what the princess likes, these are a few things that Weichen chooses from the cheap, filial piety to the princess, I hope the princess likes it." ”

He inquired that the King of Chu doted on Princess Chu very much, and had been married for many years, but she was the only one, and there was not even a maid in the house.

This is the usual method used by officials, and it is not easy for officials to receive gifts openly between officials, and they are all through the ladies of the back house.

Xiao Junjue didn't even look at it, took the tea, and said, "Mrs. bother." ”

He did not refuse, and asked people to take it and send it to the princess.

He Yingming's tight throat relaxed slightly, it is easy to accept gifts, but it is difficult to do it without receiving anything.

"Tonight, Weichen booked a banquet for His Royal Highness in the drunken breeze, and invited His Royal Highness to bring the princess to enjoy her face. He pulled out an invitation and handed it to the night owl with both hands.

Xiao Junjue opened it and glanced at it, staring at the three words Drunk Qingfeng, "Drunk Qingfeng, good name, drunk with Qingfeng, it seems that this king has to get drunk with Lord He today." ”

He Yingming breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand, "It must be." ”

After He Yingming left, Nighthawk asked Xiao Junjue, "Why didn't the prince take him down and punish him, but instead went to his appointment?"

Xiao Junjue put the invitation on the table, "There must also be evidence to punish crimes, the twenty-four counties of Yizhou have done their best in their hands before, and their foundation is deep and stable, and rashly winning the punishment will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from all parties." When the king first arrived, he had not yet stood firm, and it was not too late to wait. Today, he invited a banquet, and the officials of the twenty-four counties will all be present, so they can take this opportunity to make an inspection. ”

He beckoned Nighthawk to his side, and Nighthawk attached his ear, "Find a shop to buy, do any business, find a face to do." ”

Nighthawk was puzzled, "The prince wants to do business?"

Xiao Junjue frowned, picked up the invitation and slapped it on top of his head, squeezing it out from between his teeth, "Collect evidence." ”

In the evening, Xiao Junjue and Rong Zhao attended, if Rong Zhao didn't want to know if the drunk breeze was unbearable as Xu Wu said, she wouldn't go.

Drunk Qingfeng naturally can't be compared with Tianxiang Guoselou, the pattern is a little different from Manxiang Lou, but it should be the best restaurant in Yizhou.

He Yingming took the drunken breeze down, and all the officials in the twenty-four counties under the jurisdiction of Yizhou were all present.

The hall on the first floor is full of tables and chairs, about a dozen tables. Seven or eight people per table, roughly calculated nearly a hundred people.

Xiao Junjue's table was accompanied by He Yingming and several of his staff, as well as the county commanders of Dianchi, Jinyuan, and Qingcheng.

I had to flatter for a while, just chanting poems and singing, and I didn't know how many great achievements the King of Chu had done in Yizhou.

Xiao Junjue dealt with it coldly, he had always been an ice face, and those who were familiar with him naturally didn't care, but how did the officials in Yizhou know, they said a lot of words, their smiling faces were sour, and the King of Chu was still expressionless, and he wouldn't say a word.

The officials were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, and finally turned their eyes to He Yingming.

He Yingming glanced at everyone and turned his face to look at Rong Zhao, "The princess is hungry, right?" ”

Rong Zhao lifted his eyelids and glanced at him with the tail of his eyes, showing contempt and saying nothing.

It's a real couple.

He Yingming's smiling face slowly sank, stroked his palms twice, and called: "Open the table, serve the food." ”

The meal had already been prepared, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment, and soon the dishes were served one by one.

Xiao Junjue suddenly asked, "I heard that drunken Qingfeng is He Taishou's business?"

He Yingming's expression froze, "Uh······"

After a pause, he called his younger brother to his side and introduced to Xiao Junjue, "Lord Wang, this is Weichen's brother-in-law, He Yinghui, Bucai, runs this restaurant." ”

He Yinghui bowed his hand towards Xiao Junjue and made a big salute, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu. His eyes drifted to Rong Zhao, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Fat head and big ears, fat belly and round waist, fat and white, compared with his brother to catch up with two.

He Yingming is thin like a hemp stalk, He Yinghui is fat like a pig, Rong Zhao is not disgusted with fat people, just like Qiushui is also chubby, but it is pleasing, but the person in front of him is fat and greasy, which makes people disgusted.

"The prince and the princess set foot here, it is really the honor of the small shop, the prince tastes it, this dish can be eaten smoothly. He Yinghui hunched his waist, his stomach was big, and his back hurt after a while, and his forehead was sweaty.

No one else moved the chopsticks, Rong Zhao grabbed a chopstick first, and everyone tightened their eyebrows.

As soon as Rong Zhao entered, he spit it out directly, snorted, and said loudly: "What a broken vegetable, it's unpalatable to death." ”

He Yingming's two brothers had ugly faces, and He Yinghui asked Xiao Er to remove the dish that Rong Zhao ate, "The princess doesn't like to eat this dish, so it's better to try something else." ”

Rong Zhao smacked him, took a bite of the meat back to the pot, and again, spit it out, "The best restaurant in Yizhou, cooking is at this level, and I don't like it for my family to eat." ”

He Yingming said with a smile: "Yizhou naturally can't be compared with Changge City, and I ask the princess to forgive me." ”

Rong Zhao looked at him and saw through him.

With a smile on his face, he didn't know how to scold her in his heart.

The dishes are not so unpalatable, Rong Zhao is holding a little bit of fault-finding psychology.

At noon in that small shop, although she seemed indifferent, Xu Wu and Zhou Yin's words were listened to.

Ben was still skeptical, thinking that it was competition in the same industry, and said a few bad things about others. But if you open a restaurant, whether there are real materials or not, you can tell if you taste a bite of food.

This bite is really to distinguish the authenticity.

Rong Zhao threw away his chopsticks and stopped eating.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, He Yingming's brothers' faces changed again and again, He Yingming was calm, he could really calm down.

He got up and waved towards Rong Zhao, "Princess, forgive me, it's Weichen who is not thinking enough, and I wanted to make some snacks and drink with the prince and his colleagues, forgetting that the princess is pregnant now, and her appetite is different from ours, so Weichen was negligent." ”

instructed He Yinghui, "Go, invite Zhou Yin over, and cook a delicious side dish for the princess." ”

The word "please" is slightly accented.

He Yinghui's face turned blue, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother-"

He Yingming glared at him, "Don't go quickly." ”

He Yinghui was stupid, but finally nodded, turned around and walked to the corner to summon a guy to speak quietly. His face and neck grew together, and when he nodded, he couldn't tell which was the face and which was the neck.
