"That's okay, in this regard, I am a Jinshi and the first, the champion. "This is not boasting, Ning Caichen believes that more than half of the talents here have never cooked by themselves.

This gave him a great sense of superiority, which was absolutely incomprehensible to the ancients who were gentlemen and cooks.

However, "Jinshi and the first, the champion talent", such a colloquial language obviously provoked someone.

"Oh, I'm going to have two more drinks with Xianzhi in that moment. After dealing with the venue, Mao Shixue turned back to Ning Caichen again, and happened to hear Ning Caichen's bold words.

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts.

If it was before, Ning Caichen would never believe that Mao Shixue would just invite him to eat and drink. Sure enough, the man had changed. "Okay! I must have a few more drinks with Brother Mao then. ”

At the beginning of the lanterns, the county school is as bright as day, and the bright moonlight is reflected in the cups. In the midst of the staggering, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

Didn't count how many tables there were. For these students who may become their sons-in-law in the future, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty will not hesitate to spend.

Whether they are merchants or sailors, there is no shortage of goods in their pockets. With material civilization, it is natural to pursue spiritual civilization and even social status.

's own son, it is always not easy to cultivate, that is, this "only reads the books of the sages with one heart, and does not ask about things outside the window", and a few of them can do it.

After they are businessmen, they will naturally choose shortcuts like businessmen.

And whether it's looking for a son-in-law or a brother-in-law. As long as they become a family, they will naturally rise to the top and become a gentry.

As for the identity of the merchants, they always find a way to hide the past. Or on his subordinates, or on one of his own sons and nephews, why not?

At that point, who really can't find out?

It's really more true than this, that is, the enemy.

Food and wine, enough in one fell swoop.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the food and drinks are always exactly the same on several tables, and there is always a slight difference between these tables and those tables.

If you are not careful, you will only see this as the result of the different cooking skills of the cook.

In fact, this is nothing more than the psychology of competition among businessmen.

I paid for it, how many tables did I make, how was the food, and who ate it?

This is where they compete.

If someone does something too bad, they will become a laughing stock on the spot. Even if it is the husband chosen by his daughter, there will also be rumors that his father-in-law is stingy.

This is more than just a drinking feast. Is it gambling on vision, fighting for face, or the kind of moment that determines a lifetime.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity for businessmen to get to know each other's surnames. If, at a time when everyone else has fish and meat, a merchant is a turnip and a greendish (note: meat was much more expensive than vegetables in ancient times), then this merchant is also famous and black.

It's either that it's not good, or it's an old pick. Otherwise, how could he be so stingy with his son-in-law.

Such a person, who does business in partnership, who does not guard against it.

However, these have nothing to do with Ning Caichen, he only cares about eating, and he is really making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Why is it said to make a fortune in silence?

If you find that this dish looks like on the surface, but in fact it is inside, even you will make a lot of money.

If he hadn't been an ingredient buyer in his previous life, he wouldn't have recognized this shark fin and vermicelli.

"Xianzhi, why do you just eat vermicelli? Eat more beef, this is a good thing, and it will take a while to show your strength in front of the young ladies. ”

Looking at a large piece of beef that Wang Fu kindly caught, Ning Caichen swallowed it hatefully and continued to eat his "fans". "That's what I love. ”

Who doesn't love, in the face of this pure natural and pollution-free shark fin, he didn't even have the time to ask how the ancients caught sharks.

You must know that there are no whaling ships or shark fishing ships in this era, everything depends on luck, and you can catch them. If you can't catch it, it's normal that you haven't sold shark fin for several years. Therefore, in historical documents, it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that there was a saying that shark fin was eaten.

There was no such thing in the Song Dynasty, and it would be a fool not to eat it. It's a pity that there are still too few shark fins, no matter how full they are!

Huh? What is this? Brown, clumps.

"This is a sea cucumber. Wang Fu whispered to Ning Caichen. "It was the masters who cut it into pieces with knives, and if I hadn't eaten it once before, I wouldn't have recognized it. Secretly tell you, this thing is not so tasty. It's better not to touch it. ”

Sea cucumber, you are big, don't move your sister! This is clearly the abalone that has been cut into pieces!

Abalone is a traditional Chinese precious ingredient and the first of the four major sea delicacies.

It's a rare thing, and it grows on the bottom of the sea. As difficult to collect as pearls. In the days when there was no oxygen equipment, it was generally collected by women.

Wearing only a thong on his body, he pierced it in one breath, and under the turbulent water and seaweed-overgrown ocean, he often lost his surname if he was not careful. Guo Moruo and others in later generations have described them.

"Ama la", an ancient industry, is a female surname that dives to the bottom of the sea in search of abalone, oysters and pearls. Because there is no oxygen equipment when diving, and the person who goes to the sea is a woman, this industry has suddenly added many legends. People call the women who work in this profession "ama...... Of course, you can't think about it, because if you think about it, you probably won't be able to eat it.

However, in ancient times, under this condition, from hunting to going to the sea, there was nothing undangerous, even farming, and there was also a natural disaster [***].

Besides, this world is not the Song Dynasty recorded in history. There are spells, demons and monsters. Maybe people just pinched a trick to avoid the fire?

And this thing is really tonic, delicious, and chewy.

Seeing that Ning Caichen ate so deliciously.

Could it be that this thing has become better?

Wang Fu tried to clip a piece. "Hmm!" you can't vomit, no matter how unpleasant it is, you have to eat it. I can't tell who is staring at my demeanor, and that's a point to lose.

Holding back the smell of the sea, Wang Fu swallowed hard.

Seeing Ning Caichen, he wanted to laugh.

This is naturally different from the inside and outside. It's a real sea cucumber out there.

After thinking about it, Ning Caichen picked out a piece of abalone and said, "Try this." ”

"Huh?" Wang Fu waved his hand repeatedly. This smell of the sea, eating one is enough, and no matter how much, he has to vomit.

"You taste it, I tell you, I will regret it if you don't eat it. This yin, flat liver, and solid kidney, this is all we have left at this table. ”

"You mean...... Wang Fu was not stupid, and immediately heard Ning Caichen's words. Carefully tasted a small bite. "Huh?" raised an eyebrow, "What's this? Why is it so delicious!"

Ning Caichen shook his head and said: "If you enter the abalone, you won't smell it for a long time." This is not a copy, it is a sentence from the ancient book "Confucius's Family Sayings".

"You mean this is Bao ......," Wang Fu's voice was a little loud.

"Shhhh Ning Caichen looked around, everyone was staggering, chatting, no one paid attention to them, and then whispered: "So this reading is really important!"

From the beginning, he could only copy and study, and he could only reduce the number of times he spoke, so as to cover up his ancient skills. Now he can also quote ancient texts, which is naturally a matter of pride.

Knowing that it was the best abalone, Wang Fu ate it more carefully and kept tasting the taste.

"Well-it's a pity, there's only such a piece. "No matter how much I tried it, I still ate it all after all.

"Still want to eat?" Ning Caichen said with a smile.

"Hmm. Wang Fu nodded again and again, there is nothing to hide. Not to mention anything else, just this nourishing yin and nourishing kidneys, which man doesn't love it? Not to mention a married man like Wang Fu who is about to let his wife dry up.

Ning Caichen said mysteriously: "Let's go, let's go toast." With a cup and chopsticks, he went to the second table. "In the same year, I will do it first. ”

Go up and you'll have a cup.

After drinking wine, you can't help but let the family eat vegetables, right? So Ning Caichen mixed up with the table again.

Wang Fu was stunned for a moment, and then rushed forward, also toasting and eating.

Ning Caichen said dissatisfiedly: "You won't go to another table! ”

Wang Fu smiled awkwardly: "I don't know! By the way, is the vermicelli you eat also a famous dish?"

"No, it's just an ordinary fan. "I just want to repay him a piece of beef, but now I want to divide half of the abalone, Ning Caichen regrets dying, where will he do it again.

However, although Wang Fu didn't know him, he only recognized one thing, everything that Ning Caichen sandwiched was a good dish.

So he ...... Directly to Ning Caichen's plate with vegetables.

The good dishes on one table were quickly swept away, and Ning Caichen stood up again, toasted the second glass of wine, and then went to the next table.

The people at this table were stunned and asked, "Who is he?"

There are too many students here, it is impossible for everyone to know Ning Caichen, plus he didn't introduce himself when he came up, and with a foodie like Wang Fu, it is normal for others to be in a daze.

Some acquaintances said: "He is our Hangzhou celebrity Ning Caichen." ”

It's a celebrity! It's understandably weird.

Someone thought they had figured it out, nodded, and went on with their own business.

But not everyone understood, but this gentleman's name was too big, so they didn't dare to offend, so they had to point to Wang Fu and say, "Then who is he?

Some were unconvinced: "It must be a rabbit." I heard that most of the celebrities in the Wei and Jin dynasties are good men. Since Ning Gongzi has become a famous person in the world, there must be this reason!"

This is definitely malicious slander, and it is jealousy of Ning Caichen's Jian in the emperor's heart.

However, the others did not refute, but nodded approvingly.

No way. Wang Fu's approach was too disgusting, and he ate vegetables on a man's plate. Aren't you afraid of getting saliva?

Oooo They really couldn't think of any other explanation other than the rabbit master.

For a bite of food, he unknowingly became a rabbit master. If Wang Fu knew, he would have to die of annoyance.

And the power of the rabbit lord will soon be exuded.
