As a famous restaurant, Tianxiang Pavilion has thoughtful service and kindness. The hall on the first floor is mostly for the people, the private room on the second floor is mostly for businessmen to talk about things, literati to get together, and the third floor is for fox friends such as the son of the family. Fan Lou is the head of the brand, and often comes to visit to ask for new words or to learn.

Thoughtful service and face, price! Of course, step by step. Of course, as long as you have the money, as long as you are willing to spend, there will be no limit to guests.

Above the third floor, there is also a pavilion, which is generally closed to the public.

Tianxiang Pavilion has developed so far, in addition to the chefs who studied under Chao Gai, they also specially sent chefs from all over the world, and the cuisines of Shandong cuisine, Hui cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and so on are complete.

There are many dishes, including meat, vegetarian, salty, and sweet. And the materials are very extensive, and the materials are also very fine, including almost all the delicacies of the mountains and seas in this era.

It is no exaggeration to say that the dishes are rich, sweet and sour, and there are many flavors for everyone to choose. Here you can enjoy food from all over the country. Coupled with the best wine, the special red wine is the secret of the prosperity of Tianxiang Pavilion. Novel opera ballads are a powerful weapon to attract celebrities.

The smiling tiger Zhu Fu relied on this to let Tianxiang Pavilion take root in Bianliang City and have a stable position. Among them, the development plan is indispensable for Chao Gai to give guidance. The most important thing is this brother, who develops his potential and grows step by step.

Because the fame of Tianxiang Pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is the officials of the yamen or the men of the family, the yamen deliberately befriended the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Almost every time I come to a party, I will pull on the other party's drinking sleeve.

Zhu Fu also couldn't ask for it, and many times he would get useful information. Of course, there is nothing dry, and you will not stay and talk nonsense with each other.

No, another group of sons came to the party and invited Zhu Fu to have a drink. It's all nonsense about which mansion has a little lady and which pretty widow is tempting. The shopkeeper Zhu naturally disdained to participate in the discussion.

The door of the private room on the third floor creaked open, and Zhu Fu smiled and waved his hand again and again.

"Everyone, you eat slowly, and retire first."

"Ouch, Lao Zhu, it's really disappointing, eat a few more cups!"

"No, no, no, there are a lot of things in the restaurant. I asked someone to bring a pot of new grain and rice wine. ”

Son's buddy, the enthusiasm of the Yanei, Zhu Fu is already immune, and he can smile with a smile on his face. Standing outside the door and greeting a group of boys, he politely refused to get out. All the way to the hall on the first floor, acquaintances kept shouting "Hey, Lao Zhu", "Shopkeeper, come over for a drink".

For this kind of scene, Zhu Fu has long been comfortable with it, waving his hand to signal that something is wrong. Came to the counter and instructed the guy to deliver wine to the third floor and a few tables of guests. What is a jug or two worth of it? In the future, it will be exchanged for a group of guests.

These are Chao Gai's exact words!

Zhu Fu has always remembered it, and because of this, he became famous, and the status of Tianxiang Pavilion is unshakable. Looking at the backs of a few guys leaving with wine jugs.

"I wonder when my brother will come? The younger brother did not disappoint him. Zhu Fu thought of his brother's reply, and thought of the development of intelligence.

What do you think, what do you really think?

A clever guy walked like a fly, ran to Zhu Fu's side and whispered: "Shopkeeper, the guests in the private room on the third floor, a man and two women, ordered a large table of dishes, and said that the old man is here and invites you to have a drink." ”

The young man was just passing the word, and he didn't know what it meant.

"What, where?" But Zhu Fu's eyes widened, startling the young man. immediately recovered his mood, asked the name of the elegant room, and ran away with good wine.

The private room on the third floor, the door is hung with the sign "Wind and rain at night".

There was a faint exclamation from inside, and a nonsense eating sea plug was staged.

"Husband, peel the lobster for me."

"Well, husband, this fish has no bones, it's delicious."

Chao Gai took the thick menu and ordered a large table of dishes. Such as steamed lamb, stewed sauerkraut, braised cabbage, roasted duck, steamed bear paw, white meat, barbecue, steamed deer tail, roasted chicken, etc., just like the Manchu and Han full feast.

Carefully prepared by the chef, it is full of color, flavor and flavor!

Not to mention the flowers, Yelu's eyes narrowed into crescents, and he was very happy. Even Chao Gai is an eye-opener, feeling that there are many kinds and tastes good. He showed strong indignation at the luxurious life of the Manchu royal family in later generations.

The Manchu and Han Dynasty banquets were inspired by him, and Tianxiang Pavilion was combined step by step. At the moment, I only ordered twenty or thirty dishes, but I asked for two or three hundred taels of silver. If you come to the Manchu and Han banquets, how many people will have to be fed for one meal!

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and they disappeared in front of the door. A slightly excited greeting and a knock sounded on the door, and after receiving a response, a man with a slightly fat figure and a smile on his face pushed the door in.

There is a smile on the round face, who can Zhu Fu be if he is not a smiling tiger?

Chao Gai watched Zhu Fu come in while eating, and was relieved to see that the other party had become calm and sophisticated, but he was a little embarrassed to see that the other party looked like a few years old. It seems that the other party is sitting in Bianliang City and working hard to get intelligence.

This also made him even more determined to send someone to Bianliang City to relieve the pressure.

After more than a year of tempering, Zhu Fu has become very old and spicy. He was not surprised, and quickly scanned the entire private room, a man and two women were dressed luxuriously, eating and drinking, closing the door and carrying a wine jug and coming with a smile: "The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, this brother, where is the old man......"

Zhu Fu didn't know Hu Sanniang and Yelu Tali, and Chao Gai's disguised image didn't hold back. But after approaching and scrutinizing, the voice stopped abruptly.

The literati in front of him is none other than Chao Gai, codenamed the old man?

Zhu Fu is a wise and affectionate person, and it was Chao Gai who gave him everything he has now. While tasting the rights, I feel a great responsibility. I have a lot of respect for him, and now I am surprised and happy to see a real person coming.

For a moment, the whole person was a little overwhelmed.

"Hehehe, Brother Zhu Fu, why are you in a daze, come, come and sit down." Chao Gai saw that the other party was a little stunned, and got up and pulled the other party to sit down.

Hua Zi and Yelu Tari put down their chopsticks, wiped their mouths, and smiled. They have long known the smiling tiger Zhu Fu brothers who sit in Bianliang City.

"Ah, brother, the younger brother has seen the elder brother." After Zhu Fu rubbed his eyes, he came back to his senses from his surprise and got up, put the wine jug and bowed to Chao Gaina.

"Brother, don't be polite!" Chao Gai smiled and waved his hand, pouring wine for the other party.

"Brother, the little brother really didn't recognize it." Zhu Fu smiled awkwardly, and looked at Huazi and Yelu Talibi: "Are these two sisters-in-law?" ”

Although Zhu Fu did not return to attend the wedding in August, he sent a generous congratulations. Naturally, he knew that Chao Gai got married and married several ladies.

"Hey, brother, yes!" Chao Gai nodded bitterly with a bitter face. His face was full of melancholy, which made the two women a little dissatisfied: "Hmph, what kind of expression do you have?" ”

"Look, brother, I feel how you feel." Chao Gai smiled wryly.

"I understand, I understand......" Zhu Fu nodded busily, he really understood. When his wife first came to Bianliang City, she sneered at him. It is said that in the big city to be happy and happy, not far away is the Fan Building of the Pinjin Cave......

In this way, Zhu Fu naturally understood Chao Gai's mood.

Chao Gai didn't dwell too much on this issue, pulled Zhu Fu, solemnly introduced the flowers, and the two female generals of Yelu Tari, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries.

Chao Gai moved a chair and sat next to Zhu Fu, and filled the wine jug with wine again: "Brother, this time is busy, and my identity is inconvenient, so I couldn't come to Tokyo to visit my brother." Come on, brother, have a nice drink today. ”

"Hahaha, the younger brother wants to annoy the elder brother, and he won't return home if he is not drunk." Zhu Fu was very happy.

But at this moment, the door opened silently, and then, a thin figure rushed in: Hey, hey, two brothers, wait for me! ”

The clothes on the person who came were a little loose, and he was dressed like a guy in a restaurant. He has a thin body, his heels barely occupy an area, and he walks quietly. It's just that he has a sharp-beaked monkey gills, who can he be if it's not a flea on the drum?

Chao Gai has a keen perception and has already noticed it, and he laughs without saying a word.

"Oh, steal, you guy sneaked in again." Zhu Fu turned around, looked up and down, and at a glance, he saw through the other party's disguise, and said angrily.

The reason why the man said this is because the gold and silver allocated every month were escorted by Shi Qian and his team, so the two have known each other for a long time.

"Brother Shiqian, here, sit down and eat together." Chao Gai waved his hand. The latter was not polite, sat down with his ass, and raised his glass to toast.

In the private room, everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, chatted about some interesting things about each other, and enjoyed themselves.

In particular, Shi Qian was very active, talking about the bulging waists of pedestrians on Bianliangcheng Street, which made his hands itch unbearably, causing everyone to laugh and talk about stealing.

Chao Gai just asked Zhu Fu's wife how the situation was, the restaurant's business environment, and so on. By the way, I mentioned that after I got married, I complained about my wife's pregnancy, especially Zhu Gui got along with a girl.

After a banquet, nothing was mentioned.

Until after the banquet was over, Shi Qian held his stomach and had to order the communication team outside the city in front of him to enter the city.

Chao Gai and the two ladies followed Zhu Fu to the backyard and first met his wife. Huazi, Yelu Tali consciously stayed, pulled Zhu Fu's wife to chatter, and gave pearl necklaces, bracelets and other gifts by the way.

Chao Gai and Zhu Fu came to the study and sat down, chatting about business while drinking tea. The main thing is that one side reports the situation in Bianliang City, and the other party is listening and understanding.

It's been more than an hour!

Chao Gai was also very surprised to learn that the intelligence part of Bianliang City was detailed.

In general, it is divided into three main blocks.

First, there are more than 20 restaurants and hundreds of shops of various types in the entire Bianliang City, mainly to sell Chaojiazhuang goods to generate income and assist in collecting intelligence. The other is to prepare accommodation in the surrounding area to facilitate the rest of the intelligence officers.

These shops are all secret, and a few are announced to the core personnel. Those intelligence officers scattered on the streets are mostly dark lines that develop layer by layer.

The other piece is the eyeliner that is placed in each yamen with heavy money. Most of these people are internal members or core members.

The last one is the armed forces formed by the intelligence services. Responsible for assassination, espionage and other operations. Carefully selected, absolute diehards.

In general, the intelligence department of Bianliang City has more than 10,000 insiders. The lower limit of the development of layers and the scalpers who sell intelligence because of gold and silver, there are no statistics on how many Zhu Fu, to say the least, there are tens of thousands.

It can be seen that behind the prosperity of Bianliang City, only decay and depravity remain.
