Chapter 50: Fish and Sheep Soup
"Congratulations to Boss Liu, congratulations to Boss Liu, thank you Boss Liu for your reward, Boss Liu is magnificent!"
As soon as Second Master Sun's words fell, Liu Yifeng jumped in front of Boss Liu and reached out to ask for money while congratulating him.
10 taels is not a small amount, Liu Yifeng is worried that Boss Liu will pay his debts. When he was happy, he directly begged for it in front of Second Master Sun, Qin San and many people.
Of course, Boss Liu will not repay the debt, 10 taels is indeed a large amount for ordinary people. Local homesteaders earn more than 20 taels a year. The ordinary people in the city are slightly better, and they only stabilize at about 30 taels a year.
But for the private commercial banks that have risen faster than they can imagine in recent years, 10 taels is estimated to be a month's income of a shopkeeper under their name.
Fur is a luxury, a skin of an elk or half a musk cow's skin, after a simple process to sell back to the Ming Dynasty is 30 taels, all the cost is 10-15 taels, directly doubled, very profitable.
If you really hunt snow bear skin, it must be directly to the big customer to customize the service, and the final price is likely to be more than ten times the cost.
Yuan Chenghuan, the governor of Yuan Dadu, who is currently commanding the Western Army to press the Yarkand Khanate to the ground, has a fur made of snow bear fur. Every time he conquered an important city in the Yarkand Khanate, he would put on his snow bear coat and ride into the city on a white horse.
The people of the Western Regions call him a white-haired ghost.
Speaking of which, today's Daming can be regarded as a star-studded general.
The traditional border army of the nine towns was integrated into the Northern Army, and the old-fashioned generals were almost all concentrated in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, among which there were too many tiger generals who could lead the troops to charge.
Although few generals took the lead in the southern army established by Qi Shaobao, they were all strategizing in the tent, just like Han Xin's return.
As for the youngest Western Army, it was a combination of the two sides, with both brave generals and Confucian generals who were good at strategy.
But no matter which of the three armies it is, they are all envious and jealous of Yuan Dadu's snow bear coat, either overtly or covertly.
There is no other reason, it is too conspicuous and majestic.
It is also to press the enemy to the ground and rub it, and the enemy can remember the white-haired ghost god after only one victory, but they need to win many battles to do it.
In the past few years in the army, snow bear fur is really sky-high. Not only the generals in the army like it, but even those civilian officials in the military department actually like it.
So in the face of Liu Yifeng, who helped him get a bear hunting place, Boss Liu would not repay the debt, he couldn't afford to lose that person.
"Take it!" Personally put a silver ingot in Liu Yifeng's hand, and Boss Liu looked at Liu Yifeng with appreciation: "Feng Shuo, which business house are you in, how many years have you been in Dongshan Prefecture?" ”
"Just arrived this year."
Liu Yifeng knew that Boss Liu had the intention of accepting people, so he deliberately only said that he had just arrived this year, which meant that he was still in the service period.
Sure enough, when he heard that he had just arrived this year, Boss Liu, who was happy to hunt his heart, lost his interest for a moment, smiled and let go of the hand that was holding Liu Yifeng when he released the silver ingot.
He let Liu Yifeng go, but Qin San didn't let go.
"Feng Shuo, which firm are you from? I'll visit your shopkeeper in two days. ”
Qin San's words showed that he couldn't afford to lose. Is it because he wants to discuss the transfer with Liu Yifeng's firm, or is he going to retaliate afterwards?
As soon as his words fell, a look of disdain appeared on the faces of all the onlookers.
Liu Yifeng put away the silver ingot, saluted Second Master Sun and Boss Liu, and squeezed back into the crowd, almost attacking Qin Sanqi, who was ignored, on the spot. If it weren't for Boss Liu deliberately blocking him, he might have ordered his subordinates to arrest Liu Yifeng back.
"Third Master Qin, it won't be like this."
"Humph!"
Liu Yifeng was too lazy to care about the grievances between Boss Liu and Qin Sanye, and wanted to leave here. The people were also a little resentful of Qin Sanye's seemingly seeking revenge just now, and they all got out of the way for Liu Yifeng to pass, and when Liu Yifeng passed by, some people even took the initiative to salute.
"Big man, you're awesome!" The chatty man chased after him: "My name is Gu Ergou, I will definitely invite you to dinner when I have a chance in the future!" ”
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today, I see that my brother and I are in love, and you don't need to invite me, I invite you."
After speaking, he pulled Gu Ergou and left under the envious and jealous gaze of the people.
Liu Yifeng pulled Gu Ergou because he felt that this person knew a lot about all kinds of information about Dongshan Prefecture, and then he was talkative, and he said it all in one go with a little temptation. He still wanted to know more, so he pulled Gu Ergou to find a restaurant and sat down.
This is a shop that sells soup and food, and the way the store charges Liu Yifeng is an eye-opener, because it is not ancient, but very modern.
"The owner of this fish and sheep soup is said to have worked in the fish and sheep soup shop in Shuntianfu for 10 years, and then opened a store in Dongshan Prefecture with the money he saved for 10 years, which is one of the most famous restaurants in Jishan City, I have long wanted to try it, big man, I really want to thank you this time!"
It's no wonder that Gu Ergou is so polite, because Liu Yifeng paid 2 taels of silver, and the shopkeeper at the door only let the two of them in.
This is the fundamental reason why Liu Yifeng is looking around now: this Nima is actually a cafeteria, 1 tael of silver per person!
However, there are not many things that can be self-selected, such as white flour steamed buns, white flour cakes, naan sprinkled with sesame seeds, a bowl of boiled white water and a bowl of brown rice, just these 5 staple foods, and then some pickles and tofu that you feel that the sodium content exceeds the standard.
You must eat as much as you take, and you are not allowed to pack it, and you have to discount and double the charge for the rest. Everyone only had a stick of incense to eat, and about half an hour, the incense was placed on the dining table. These rules are written on the wall of the lobby and can be seen without entering the door.
In addition to these staple foods, there is also a bowl of soup, which is the name of the restaurant, haggis fish broth.
"That's how the Shuntianfu one operates?"
"Yes, so it's very famous, in addition to meat, you can add soup after eating, although one person costs 1 tael of silver, but you can eat it unlimited!"
Gu Ergou's eyes were full of light, and he was mentally prepared to eat a poor shop.
But Liu Yifeng is very clear: Any boss who dares to do a buffet has calculated the cost, and you can earn what everyone else has to eat.
Gu Ergou took a portion of every staple food and pickles, and Liu Yifeng took half of the naan. Looking at the amount of these staple foods, Liu Yifeng felt that they were already very good if they could finish eating.
Not to mention that there is a bowl of soup, the amount of fish and haggis in it is not small, Liu Yifeng stirred it with chopsticks, and speculated that the content of the soup alone was about 300 grams. There are obvious oil flowers floating on the soup noodles, and the soup is speculated to be more than 200 grams, this bowl of soup is almost the same for ordinary people, how much can you eat if you count the staple food?
Especially in the stomach, the soup with oil splashes soaked in those carbohydrates, it is estimated that people who want to eat nonsense will end up holding on to the point that they can't walk.
Gu Ergou didn't care about Liu Yifeng anymore, and began to stuff food into his mouth frantically.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you."
Despised Gu Ergou eating in his mouth, holding it in his hand and looking at the state in the pot, Liu Yifeng took a sip of soup first.
Very ordinary fish and mutton soup, can taste it mixed with water seriously, and ate a mouthful of haggis, and the taste tells him that these haggis are added later.
In the future, it is estimated that customers will complain whether the overnight soup is microwaved and served, or the microwave heating is not complete.
However, Gu Ergou already felt that it was very fragrant and delicious.
Liu Yifeng can also make the dish of fish and sheep soup, and it is not bad.
Although it is said that fish and mutton soup is a Hui dish, in fact, in ancient China, fish and mutton were cooked in the same pot of soup, which was a practice in many places very early.
The soup boiled by these two will be very delicious, so there is a saying that the word "fresh" was invented after someone tasted fish and sheep soup.
Isn't it specific, Liu Yifeng was too lazy to research, he took half a naan and ate it slowly. Some people are curious about who proposed this self-service operation of this store.
It's a pity that Gu Ergou not only didn't know, but also devoted himself to eating nonsense.
Liu Yifeng simply waved his hand and found the shopkeeper, ready to inquire.
