Chapter 169: They all want to make money

Near noon, Wu Yong and Zhu Yuan waited for a long time, but they never saw a carriage coming, so they closed the door of the Hou Mansion and came to the hall of the banquet together.

At this time, there was a lot of noise, and there was a lot of talk about new tables and chairs.

"This chair is so comfortable to sit on, it's the first time I've seen such a banquet, it's really ingenious!"

"Shhhh You are a little lonely and unheard, this kind of banquet method was popular in Wancheng two months ago, but the people of Luoyang felt that this was something used by the countrymen, and it was undignified, so it did not spread. However, as far as I know, many people in Luoyang City have begun to place these tables, chairs and benches at home, even today, they have begun to make circle chairs every day, and the princes in the court have followed suit. ”

"You say that, it's really like this, my grandfather has a circle chair like this, it's a baby on weekdays, I sat a few times when he went to court, it was really comfortable, I thought about finding someone to make one, but I didn't think that there were so many chairs in the Houfu, tomorrow I will let the servants come to the Houfu to ask for a few, keep it for my own use!"

"That's a great idea, I'll ask for it tomorrow with the servants!" Everyone followed suit, and even Wu Yong and Zhu Yuan didn't notice when they came in.

Still Yuan Shao's eyes were sharp, as soon as Wu Yong entered the door, he was pulled to his table and sat down, and without waiting for Wu Yong's reaction, he pretended to be angry and said: "Brother, you don't take the brothers to heart, there are such good things at home, and I don't see you send a few sets to open your eyes to the brothers!" ”

"That is, if it weren't for the old lady's birthday today, we would still be in the dark!" Yuan Shu also echoed.

Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Don't hide it from your brothers, these tables and chairs are used to open a restaurant, and the workmanship is not fine enough. Yuan Shao and the others were obviously stunned, and then asked with some surprise: "Who wants to open a restaurant?" ”

"Our five surnamed Hou Mansion opened together." Wu Yong did not mention his own involvement, so as to avoid endless questioning by everyone.

"Ugh! Will this work? I've heard that a lot of people lose money when they open a liquor store! Wu Yong smiled mysteriously and said, "A few brothers will know later." As he spoke, a servant began to serve the various dishes that had been prepared one by one, and there were a series of exclamations all around.

The dishes on the banquet are an eye-opener for everyone who came to participate in the birthday banquet, although they are the grandsons of the kings of Luoyang, and they have seen a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, but every dish today is something they have never heard of and never seen.

"These foods are made by how they are made, not only are they full of taste, flavor and appetite, but they also have a unique visual impact that makes people think that this is an incomparable delicacy just by looking at it."

"Yes, fortunately I came today, it is better to regret it for the rest of my life, and I don't know when this Houhou Mansion invited such a powerful chef!"

"It's so delicious, woo, I must eat these things every day in the future, and if I don't eat them, I will go on a hunger strike!" …… Wu Yong's table, Yuan Shao and others were also shocked by the food in front of them.

They first tasted it carefully, and then they didn't care about anything else, and began to grab food.

After a storm passed, the plates on the table were suddenly empty. Yuan Shao and the others stopped at this time and exclaimed: "Now I finally know where the confidence of your five surnamed families is to open a restaurant!" With such delicious food, it is difficult for restaurants to lose money! Then, without waiting for Wu Yong to speak, everyone talked about the food just now.

"I never thought duck meat could be eaten in such a roll! I don't know how this duck meat is grilled, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is dipped in some sauce, which makes people have an endless aftertaste when they eat it. ”

"That mutton soup is really delicious, I didn't know that mutton can do this, it tastes strong and refreshing, and it is full of fragrance, especially the sour taste, which makes people appetize."

"I think that beef is delicious, not only is it smooth and soft, but it is also very comfortable to eat, and it is more suitable for a certain appetite!"

"It's nothing, after eating that sweet and sour fish just now, I realized that the previous fish was really eaten in vain."

"Haha, I prefer to eat those fried vegetables, it's really a different flavor!" Wu Yong listened on the sidelines, smiling silently, today's banquet was personally supervised by him, and the handling of various ingredients was strict, not only using all the cooks in the two mansions, but even finding dozens of butchers with superb knife skills.

For example, the roast duck on the table is all deboned and thinly sliced, and the fish balls and meatballs are extremely delicately chopped. And in order to take care of the elderly and children who come today, sweet and sour fish is also selected as an ingredient with less spines and more meat.

Everyone was amazed, and then looked at Wu Yong at the same time and asked, "Won't these all come from you?" I can't help them not think so, because the Houfu has been in Luoyang for so many years, and it has always been obscure, and it is even about to be forgotten by everyone, but since Wu Yong arrived, the three words of the Houfu often appear in everyone's ears.

"It's really the kid's doing!" Wu Yong nodded. Wu Yong really wanted to say that it had nothing to do with him, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later they will know that these too empty foods are passed down by themselves, rather than letting them misunderstand, it is better to admit it generously.

There are many people and Wu Yong admires them so much, and even Cao Cao, who doesn't treat Wu Yong very well, is also impressed by Wu Yong.

He didn't expect that Wu Yong's cooking skills were so superb in addition to archery, especially Wu Yong's talent and learning, which was even praised by the doctors of the Five Classics, which made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

Just as Wu Yong was answering all kinds of questions about food raised by everyone, a domestic servant suddenly came to his side and said in his ear: "Xiao Langjun, Master Hou asked you to go to the side hall." Wu Yong nodded, got up and apologized to everyone: "Adults beckon, the boy will come when he goes, and if you are rude, please take care of the brothers." ”

"Go and come back!" Yuan Shao and the others smiled and waved their hands. Wu Yong came to the side hall with the servants, and found that there were eight people sitting at the table in the hall, he quickly glanced around, and found that Zhu Jun, Cao Song and Yuan Kui were also among them, several of them because when they greeted guests at the door, Zhu Jun had introduced them, and Wu Yong also had some impressions.

Liu He, who was sitting in the innermost, saw him come in, so he beckoned: "Come to me, I have something to ask you." ”

"I've seen you." After Wu Yong greeted everyone, he walked quickly to Liu He's side. When Wu Yong walked around, except for Zhu Jun, the other seven people were carefully observing him, and they were quite curious about Wu Yong.

From the time when Wu Yong passed the assessment of Taifu and Sangong and became the Son of Heaven, everyone was interested in Wu Yong and began to send people to investigate everything in his past.

When Wu Yong threw out two and a half articles of "Shangshu", and offered the method of printing for free, it immediately refreshed everyone's opinion of him.

Before everyone could digest the news, Wu Yong proposed to build a toilet for the Ten Standing Attendants, so that the Ten Standing Attendants gained a lot of prestige and benefits from it, which made everyone even more unable to sit still.

Not long ago, Wu Yong's adaptation of the shadow puppet plays "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Tianxian Pei" made him even more famous in Luoyang.

Originally, they planned to congratulate Zhuo Taijun on his birthday today, and at the same time, they came to meet the famous Son of Heaven to read Wu Yong, but they didn't expect that they and the others would be shocked by today's banquet again.

Especially Cao Song and Yuan Kui, they haven't seen each other for a few days, and Wu Yong has done a lot of things. After they tasted these delicacies, and when they heard Zhu Jun talk about the opening of the restaurant by the five surnamed Houfu, and the driving force behind all this was Wu Yong, a child who was only twelve years old, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

They already thought highly of Wu Yong, and surrendered their identities to express their closeness to him, but they didn't expect to underestimate him.

Just from the fact that the five surnamed Hou Mansion opened a restaurant, it can be seen that Wu Yong's potential is unlimited. When Wu Yong walked to his side, Liu He saw that his face was not shocked, and he couldn't help but sigh: "At a young age, you can do things without being surprised, and you are really the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

"Your Excellency praises it!" Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, every time he saw his elders, he would be praised, which made him walk a little floating now.

"I've always been very accurate in looking at people, and I won't look away this time!" Liu Hezheng said. Then, he smiled and asked, "I heard that the five of you surnamed Hou Mansion are also planning to open a restaurant together, and these tables, chairs and food are all handled by you, but to tell the truth?" ”

"Indeed!" Wu Yong nodded, generously admitted, and then asked with some confusion: "I don't know what the adults mean by asking?" Liu He glanced at the other people at the table, and then said, "Since you asked, I won't hide it from you." The reason why I called you here is to ask if you have any other ways to make money? After speaking, he stared at Wu Yong and said word by word: "It's best to build a toilet, which can not only gain benefits but also gain fame." Wu Yong is a little embarrassed, Liu He is both a god of wealth, and the way to make money can come.

But Liu He is now the head of the Xungui Group, if he rejects him, he will probably give himself small shoes to wear in the future, so Wu Yong thought seriously for a while, and then hesitated: "The kid thought of a method, but it was a little difficult to operate." ”

"Tell me about it?" Liu He became interested.

"In fact, the method is very simple, that is, to build a bathhouse in Luoyang!" The reason why Wu Yong thought of this is because the only way to gain fame is to start with people's livelihood and engage in construction.

But if he wants to make money, he must be closely related to the lives of the people, so he thought of the bathhouse in the future.

Another reason is that although this question was asked by Liu He, it is estimated that other nobles will also be involved.

He wants to make sure that the pie is big enough to be shared and eaten by everyone. Liu He listened, but frowned, glanced at Wu Yong suspiciously, and said tentatively: "Can this really make money?" ”

"If you do it well, you can earn more than building a toilet!" Wu Yong affirmed. At the same time, he said that his heart is really tired, and the knowledge of these ancients is really not good!

In later generations, large and small bathhouses bloomed everywhere, and as long as they were properly managed, they rarely lost money.
