Chapter 24 Visiting the Temple Fair

Weifu private interview, observe the people's feelings, well, there is a suspicion of putting gold on his face.

For Zhu Youxiao, at this time, the appearance of Beijing City, as well as the customs, I really haven't seen it!

Therefore, he is actually visiting the temple fair and watching the excitement.

Sugar gourd, crystal clear syrup, red little fruit, a few children around the vendor, cheerfully shouting, you a string, I a string, pointing to the sugar gourd on the grass hand.

Come to two skewers, one skewer for yourself to eat, and one skewer for Zhang Yuer, this poor girl actually starved to death in the palace.

"Slave and maid thank you......" Zhang Yu'er wanted to bow and thank you, but when she saw the young emperor's glare, she hurriedly stopped it.

Before leaving the palace, Zhu Youxiao explained, don't call and thank you indiscriminately outside, if anyone exposes his identity, he will be severely punished.

Sour and fragrant, Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, the taste of childhood, I actually tasted it again in the Ming Dynasty.

"You want to eat too?" Zhang Yu'er looked strangely at the white lady wrapped in fur with only her big head exposed, this guy was stretching out a small claw to scratch her.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, bit down on a fruit, pinched it in his hand and handed it to Xiaobai's mouth.

The eyes of the different pupils blinked, the head was crooked, Xiaobai ignored it as if he was disgusted, and "meowed" at Zhang Yuer.

didn't eat and pulled down, Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, threw the fruit into his mouth, clicked, and chewed.

The white lady also ate one, as if she had tried it, the taste seemed to be unpalatable, and she shrank into the fur again, and was held by Zhang Yuer with one hand, like a little baby.

Zhang Yu'er wanted to eat it very much, but the emperor was beside him, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, seeing that the emperor turned his head and walked forward, hesitated, and slowly put the sugar gourd on his tongue and licked it, sweet.

Looking at the back of the emperor, Zhang Yuer took a bite gently, sweet and sour, fragrant and crispy, and the taste was so good.

The temple fair was lively, but Zhu Youxiao felt very chaotic. There is no unified planning, spontaneous bazaar, the stalls are naturally left and right, where can there be time to place, can it not be chaotic!

Moreover, there are a lot of goods at the temple fair, jade, antiques, Beijing silk fans, jewelry, etc., as well as commonly used department stores, but Zhu Youxiao is not short of these!

As a result, eating while shopping has become the theme of Zhu Youxiao and others' temple fairs. What are the dumplings, boiled dishes, sesame sugar, meatballs, rice cakes...... There is not much to eat, and Zhu Youxiao just tastes it.

Zhang Yuer is too addicted, the more she eats, the more bold she becomes, and the more she eats, the more she can let go.

Zhu Youxiao also bought a good-looking cloth bag at the stall, and put it on the girl's shoulder, filling it with food.

In addition to eating, there is also juggling that is more attractive, mainly because Zhang Yuer has never seen it.

Heel flips, rope tricks, etc., Zhang Yuer's eyes are round and he can look energetic. Zhu Youxiao, who was accustomed to watching more wonderful performances in later generations, had to stop and watch without leaving a trace in order to take care of her.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, that is, before the hour, Zhu Youxiao and the others finished the temple fair and came out along the street.

"Emperor, in front of you is the champion residence, and the slave maid heard that there are a few signature dishes, and the taste is very good." Wang Tiqian leaned over and spoke.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and ordered: "Then go and taste it!" ”

Wang Tiqian hurriedly called a few guards and escorted the emperor towards the Zhuangyuan Residence.

The face of the champion is not small, and the pillars outside are carved beams and paintings, and you can see that the grade is not low at a glance.

When I entered the store, I looked around and found that the furnishings were more elegant. There are calligraphy and paintings on the walls, bonsai on the ground, tables and chairs are made of mahogany, and the floor is made of solid wood, without nails and pollution.

A hall is made like this, without the clutter and hustle and bustle of the usual hotel, and it is also done with care.

"A few guest officers, please come here." The shopkeeper also had an eye, and saw that these people were not simple, so he diligently let Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yuer to the private room on the second floor.

ordered a few signature dishes, and when the shopkeeper left, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and nodded, and said: "The guards outside have worked hard, Wang Tiqian ordered a table for them, and the two of you should sit down too, it's too conspicuous to stand there." ”

The table was quite large, Wang Tiqian went out to make arrangements, returned to the private room, and sat down with Zhang Yuer.

"This champion building is attentive, looking at the name of this dish, it is right for the mind of the child." Zhu Youxiao looked at the recipe casually, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of dish changed its name to please the mouth?" ”

Wang Tiqian smiled and replied: "Other slaves and maids don't know, but this monopoly knows that it is a braised lion's head." ”

Eat a meatball to dominate?

Zhu Youxiao smiled, disapproving, but he didn't take it seriously, as long as the food was delicious.

At this time, many guests came in the hotel, all of whom came to eat after visiting the temple fair. Among them, there are several exam-taking movers.

If you win the lift, not only can you be called a master, but you can also see that the county officials do not kneel, and they have the qualifications to serve as low-level civil servants (officials), and they also have a lot of economic benefits.

In the Ming Dynasty, the people were generally exempted from tax for 400 mu, and it didn't matter if they didn't have so much land at home, there would be many farmers who would entrust their fields to the name of the people to reduce their servitude.

In other words, the taxes that should have been paid by the state were taken away by the scholars and gentry who had made a name for themselves.

In addition, when lifting people and jinshi walking outside, there will often be an income of "cabin money".

Because the Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars, those with official status and fame could be exempt from taxes. As a result, many merchant ships would invite jinshi or people to make "talismans" on board, and when they encountered the banknotes collected by the government, they would come forward to deal with them, and all commercial taxes would be exempted.

In this way, Jinshi and people don't have to do anything, just show their faces and report their names, they can eat and drink for nothing, and they can also earn silver, that is, "cabin money".

There are no merchants and no traitors, and the cabin money paid by merchants is naturally far from the normal tax paid. Jinshi and people got small benefits, merchants got big profits, and only the government did the big wrongs.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a fame and fame, and you could make a fortune economically. Unless you're new to the middle school and haven't had time to enjoy the benefits.

Zhuangyuan Building is a high-end restaurant, and ordinary people dare not set foot in it, but for most people, they can still afford it.

"Little Er, what kind of dish is this Lianzhong Sanyuan?" Like Zhu Youxiao, when I first arrived, there were many people who didn't know what the dish was just by looking at the name of this tall dish.

"Back to the guest officer, this Lianzhong Sanyuan is also known as Sixi Pills." The guy explained with a smile.

Another person asked, "What about this blockbuster?" ”

"Back to the guest officer, this dish is also known as steamed chicken with shallots."

"The title of the gold list?"

"Pork trotters roasted pork ribs!"

…………

Regardless of the ingredients and taste, just with this meaning, you can also get it!
