Chapter 166: "Specialty"
There was nothing to say all the way, and the team of more than 100 people finally arrived at Yanzhou Mansion after most of the day's rush.
Yanzhou, in the earliest days, did not refer to a specific place, but a region, roughly located between Donglu and northern Hebei.
After the unification of the dynasty, the subdivision area, Yanzhou was included in the territory of Donglu, was divided into a separate government, and set up a government.
Although Yanzhou is now a small place with no name, it was one of the earliest places in Kyushu.
When the team arrived in the city, they were immediately received by local officials, and everyone went directly to the restaurant in the city.
The restaurant here can be regarded as the most luxurious here, from the outside, the eaves are arched, the tiles are neat, and the four corners of the roof are also equipped with copper animal faces.
"Brother Wang, this place doesn't look cheap."
Liu Luming on the side swallowed his saliva.
"Anyway, you don't need us to treat him, just take care of him."
"Hehe, that's what I said, filling my stomach is the right thing."
Liu Luming can see the problem at a glance, how can Wang Quanquan not know.
The annual budget for receiving officials in the field is limited, and once the budget is exceeded, it is left to find its own way.
There was once a magistrate in the county, when receiving a foreigner, the budget was not enough, so he invited someone to eat a dish of shallots mixed with tofu. The clerk didn't say anything at the time, but afterwards he stumbled in secret, making it hopeless for the "innocent" magistrate to be promoted many times.
Later, thanks to someone in the court, he bypassed this outsider and successfully entered the temple.
These are all afterthoughts, and after that, no one dared to save money on entertaining colleagues.
At this time, a sedan chair stopped in front of everyone, and a middle-aged man with a rich body walked out of the sedan chair and came straight to the king's authority.
"Xiaguan Wen Dehai, see the prince Chitose." After the person finished speaking, he did not forget to salute respectfully.
Hearing the other party's astonishing words, the accompanying Baihu and others couldn't help but be a little surprised, they only knew that the young man in front of them had a high official position, but they didn't expect it to be the current prince.
Wang Quanquan was not surprised, these officials outside the capital, which one of them had nothing to do with in Beijing, even if they were familiar with a certain father-in-law in the palace, it was reasonable.
I saw him bow slightly, and then took the lead in walking into the restaurant in front of him, and that posture was quite a bit of the demeanor that a prince should have.
Liu Luming on the side rolled his eyes, showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and followed him into the restaurant.
The middle-aged man who called himself Wen Dehai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then followed in.
The rest of the hundred, you look at me, I look at you, obviously don't know what to do.
At this time, I only heard Wang Quanquan, who had already entered the restaurant, say in a deep voice: "Don't pestle outside, let's come in together." ”
The restaurant had obviously been chartered in advance, and there was no one else except for their group at this time.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers were directly arranged by middle-aged men on the first floor, and nearly ten tables were set up, while Wang Quanquan and Liu Luming were invited to a private room on the second floor alone.
Wang Quanquan still looked like 2580,000 at the moment, looking sideways at the window, not paying any attention to this official.
"Lord Wang, I haven't introduced myself yet, the villain is the mansion of this Yanzhou."
Futai, also known as the prefect, is the highest official in a prefecture. Those who can sit in this position are naturally good at attaching to the human spirits, and this prefect is like this.
Seeing that the eighth prince had such an arrogant attitude, he did not feel the slightest displeasure, but was even more respectful, because he felt that the prince should be like this.
If Wang Quanquan looks enthusiastic and familiar, it will make him look down on him, and it is precisely because he knows this that he deliberately pretends to be high.
Because there are too many cheap bones he has encountered in his life.
Liu Luming on the side, from the moment he entered the door, he automatically pretended to be his younger brother, and gave Wang Quanquan a strong hand of tea and water, his own brother wanted to pretend to be forced, how could there be any reason not to help, he picked up the fan again and began to fan the other party.
Liu Luming's operation really stunned the rich mansion on the side, he felt that he was humble enough, he didn't think that the young man opposite was more humble than him, to be honest, if he had the opportunity, he also wanted to raise such a good dog.
Although he admitted defeat in his heart, he still had to do enough on his face, seeing that Wang Quanquan did not take care of himself, Wen Dehai hurriedly took out a delicate wooden box from his arms, put it in front of the other party, and said with a smile:
"Lord Wang, it's the first time we meet, this is a little specialty of the Mansion, and I hope to accept it."
Hearing this, Wang Quanquan finally glanced at the wooden box on the table, it didn't look big, and the whole body was made of golden silk nanmu, thinking that the things inside should be worth a lot of money.
He quietly pushed the box aside with a fan, and Liu Luming immediately understood when he saw this, picked it up and put it in his arms.
"Lord Wen is polite, as early as when I was in the capital, I often heard the name of the adult, and now when I see it, it is really extraordinary."
Where has he heard of any Lord Wen and Master Wu, but he just takes the short-handed and politely compliments him.
The prefect Wen on the opposite side obviously knew this, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "The prince has a good reputation, and he is just doing his duty." ”
"Lord Wen is humble." Wang Quanquan unfolded the folding fan and said with a smile on his face.
Because of the conversation between the two, the atmosphere here was also lively.
Wen Dehai was also complacent about the behavior of giving away the "specialty" just now.
"Come on, serve the food."
With Wen Dehai's order, one exquisite dish after another was served to the table, because it was booked in advance, so the serving speed was very fast, and after a while, the table was filled with more than a dozen dishes.
Liu Luming's eyes on the side were straight, and he had never seen many rare things, such as an abalone with a big fist and a lobster with a long arm...... In addition to the seafood, the mountain delicacies have not fallen, what bear paws and elephant trunks, sparrow tongue humps...... It's got it all.
Not to mention Liu Luming, he can't even stop his liver from trembling when he sees the power of the king, damn it, eating a roast whole sheep in the palace on weekdays is already considered corrupt, and now compared with this, the conditions are simply difficult.
"Lord Wang, the dishes have been served, let's move the chopsticks."
Wen Dehai on the side reminded in time.
"Hmm."
Wang Quanquan agreed, and then took the lead in moving the chopsticks, not that he was in a hurry, but mainly because Liu Luming's eyes were green on the side, if he still held it, I am afraid that this guy would start directly.
At the end of the meal, the hundred households downstairs came up at this time, he first saluted the three people present, and then said to the king:
"Lord Wang, the Japanese have attacked several different guards, so we need to distribute the weapons as soon as possible, so we have to go our separate ways."
Wang Quanquan nodded when he heard this.
Baihu seemed to be worried, and continued: "It doesn't take too many people to transport weapons, why don't you leave fifty people, do you think it's okay?" ”
It's not that he deliberately greeted him, after all, the other party is the prince, and if something goes wrong, it's not something he can afford.
"No, water bandits are rampant in the southeast, and if you have fewer people, you are afraid that you will be targeted by them, so you can keep as many people as you want."
"This ......"
Seeing this, Wen Dehai on the side interjected: "This commander, you just listen to the prince, it's a big deal that I will personally lead the troops to escort the prince to Anton Wei, and it won't take more than a day to go back and forth." ”
Baihu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and arched his hand towards Wen Dehai and said, "Thank you, Lord Wen, since this is the case, then I will say goodbye first." ”
Although Wang Quanquan's face was calm, he still had to admire this prefect in his heart, his operation not only bought people's hearts, but also made him have a good impression of him, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
