Chapter 31: The Fire Burns Spring
The monk said...... This liquor is like a fire in the water, burning so much that the family wants to have that second spring! β
Song Wen was stunned for a long time, and muttered, "What a monk! It can be said that there are all five poisons......"
Lin Chong smiled: "But Zen Master Zhitong is really good at kung fu, and even Master Zhou Tong admires it."
Song Wen thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how about this soju called Fire Burning Spring?"
Lin Chong nodded: "Burning Spring!" Sounds good, I see! However, I don't know how the shop is cleaned up. β
Song Wen shook his head: "I can't take care of that old bustard and her dog legs these days, will you go back to the city with me in a while?" Have you not seen Yueniang for several days? β
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"Good! Did you go to the Qinglou with me for a walk, and you liked the new and hated the old? β
Lin Chong was shocked: "Brother Wen, don't talk nonsense, how is it possible?" My heart for Yueniang can be learned from heaven and earth......"
Song Wen pouted: "It's another wife who is strict...... However, if you want to make a girl happy, you do have to put some thought into it. I'll help you get some gifts for Yueniang when I have time. β
"That's a good feeling......
I checked the well-preserved wine steamer again, and encouraged a few teenagers to tell Li Yan not to drink secretly...... Song Wen took Lin Chong and the two of them straight to the wine shop.
An Daoquan and his grandfather went to Luoyang, Xijing to visit friends, and the three boys agreed to go to Zixuan Tower to watch Chunniang's singing and dancing after some time.
Song Wen didn't know if this was the beginning of the fall of Lin Chong, a peerless good man...... But I think it's interesting.
The shops are still dusty, and the street is not lively, so the shops are not so conspicuous.
As soon as he entered the gate, Song Wen felt uncomfortable for a while, two carpenters were seesawing, and two apprentices were slowly cleaning up the sundries on the ground.
According to Song Wen's arrangement, the entire room was emptied. On three sides are huge wooden shelves filled with only drinks. There are also round tables and round stools for guests to rest, and the whole room is only required to be spacious, bright and tidy.
A steward ran over and said to Song Wen: "Brother Wen is here, didn't Li Yandong's family come today?"
"Uncle Li won't have much time to take care of these things in the future, didn't Mrs. Ping explain these business matters to you in the future?"
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the little steward of Zhao Shenyan's family, but he still arched his hand and said, "Then the shopkeeper of this store will ...... in the future."
"I've got my own arrangement! You can go back, the decoration and decoration of the store in the past two days are arranged by me, please help me tell Ping Niangzi, the sixth day of this month The wine shop is officially opened! β
"This ...... The little one knows, so I'll go back and talk back to my wife! β
The little steward left with a little embarrassment, as if he didn't look down on Song Wen, the little turtle boy who was mixed in the master's pile.
Song Wen didn't care about the opinion of a slave, and instructed the carpenter and the servant to tidy up the house, and rearrange the wooden shelves, tables and chairs that had been built.
Too lazy to go back, Song Wen asked people to clean up a guest room in the backyard, bought a new bedding and left it for the night, and an old man hired by Ping Niang stayed in the shop to keep vigil.
Sitting in the courtyard, Song Wen looked up at the Bianliang night sky faintly shining with lights...... There was still a faint sound of lively shouting and shouting outside.
Song Wen felt as if he had completely integrated into the Great Song Dynasty, but many things that he knew the result still made him feel very uncomfortable.
This is the living Great Song! A living personγNow at this time...... Did Lu Zhishen just join the army in the northwest? Tong Guan is still fishing for war exploits in the northwest, and Cai Jing is still in power! Gao Yu was ready to make a move, wanting to dominate the Sanya Forbidden Army and seek the position of captain......
Wu Erlang may still be learning art, Wu Dalang's cooking cakes don't know how to do? Has Jin Lian been ruined by the main family? Song Huizong's Genyue has just begun to build...... This guy is really good at playing with power, and when he was in power, the cabinet could be said to be a bunch of decorations! But power tricks cannot hide the weakness of the national power and the collapse of the army...... It's just a dying throe.
Song Wen sat alone in the courtyard, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly smiled, and then got up and walked out of the shop and went straight to the oldest restaurant in Bianliang, Tokyo a few streets away...... Gao Yang is leaving.
The next day, the day of the annual competition of new dishes and new brewing water in the main stores of Baifan Lou and Pan Lou has arrived! Song Wen has been waiting for so long to launch this soju, just waiting for this day......
Bai Fan Lou has now almost surpassed Pan Lou Zhengdian to dominate Bianliang, seven or eight scattered wooden buildings reflect each other, and behind the four proprietors there is naturally the shadow of the imperial court magnates.
Gaoyang Zhengdian and Pan Lou, who have long been in decline, naturally received invitations, but in the past two years, Gaoyang Zhengdian has rarely participated in this kind of competition of fighting vegetables and wine.
It's not that I don't know that there are benefits to making a signboard, but now Pan Lou and Bai Fan Lou are rich and powerful, and they have gathered the best cooks and brewers in Bianliang...... Except for the lamb wine that Goyang Zhengdian is proud of, there is almost no power to parry.
But today, the old shopkeeper of Gaoyang Zhengdian drove over in a donkey cart unusually, and he was surprised to see the welcoming shopkeeper of Baifanlou......
"Shopkeeper Meng, today is the day for our Bianliang Restaurant Guild to try new dishes and drinks! It's a bit inappropriate to take this old emperor's lamb wine out again......"
The shopkeeper of Baifanlou, Hongguoguo, stepped on the face of Meng Lao's shopkeeper in Gaoyang Zhengdian, and several shopkeepers next to him also looked disdainful.
The shopkeeper Meng Lao smiled indifferently: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is not the right way for villains to be rampant when they get their will!" Ladies and gentlemen, Gaoyang Zhengdian is the first time-honored brand in my big Song Bianliang! Don't underestimate it, everyone......"
Everyone was stunned for a while, and the businessman naturally had that delicate thick skin, and immediately there were witty words that hurried out to interrupt the greetings and enliven the atmosphere.
The shopkeeper of Bai Fanlou looked at the peers next to him, and everyone was a little strange, what kind of capital does the shopkeeper of Meng, who swallowed his anger in the past, have to support today? I haven't heard of any new chefs hired by Gaoyang Zhengdian! As for the wine, apart from a lamb's wine, I have not heard of any new wines being launched......
A large round table with the largest restaurant in Bianliang, Tokyo, sitting on it. Here are the three chefs from Bai Fan Lou, the two chefs from Pan Lou, and the two chefs from Tianbao Lou who are preparing the dishes today, plus one from Gao Yang Zheng Store...... Uh, a little guy.
Pan Lou's shopkeeper frowned: "Senior Meng, why didn't the two chefs of your store come!" But was there a delay on the way? β
Before the shopkeeper Meng Lao could speak, the shopkeeper of Bai Fanlou next to him sneered: "It's those old dishes over and over again, red silk crystal belly, two-color kidneys, fried quails...... Does it make a difference whether you come or not? β
The shopkeeper snorted: "That's what I said, turning over and over oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are these dishes!" How many new names are coming up with are not just fools? Today, the old man came to have a new wine for you to taste. β
