"Guest, what's the matter?"

"I heard that your house is a branch of the store in Suncheonfu?"

"Look at what you said, guest officer, there are countless fish and sheep soups in Shuntianfu, which one are you talking about?"

Well? Countless homes? Liu Yifeng glared at Gu Ergou who told him this wrong information, Gu Ergou didn't see it directly, and the whole person was buried in the bowl.

"Yes, guest officer, the most popular store in the capital is the fish and sheep soup shop." The shopkeeper guessed from what Liu Yifeng and Gu Ergou were wearing that the two people probably had never been to the capital, so they said it directly.

"Is this how it all works?"

"Oh, not really." The expression on the face of the shopkeeper began to become a little proud: "This kind of business method is rare in the capital, and it was learned by the shopkeeper of my family from the senior officials of the Maritime Safety Bureau." ”

A senior official of the Maritime Administration?

Liu Yifeng found that the Maritime Safety Bureau's presence in this Ming Dynasty is really terrifying, and many times the presence of the imperial court is not as good as the Maritime Safety Bureau.

He still wanted to ask more, so a group of people walked in happily, and suddenly a wry smile appeared on Liu Yifeng's face.

"Ha, Feng Shuo!"

It was actually Boss Liu and his subordinates, he was in a good mood today, and he invited his subordinates to have a good meal. It seems that Gu Ergou is right when he says something: this restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Jishan City.

"It's all up to you today." Boss Liu was indeed in a very good mood, and he sat down at his table directly, and the rest of his subordinates found a table and sat down. The shopkeeper also greeted several of them, and it could be seen that both sides knew each other.

"You kid is really willing, 10 taels of silver will be lost for 2 taels."

"Try it, Boss Liu likes this store very much?"

"It's okay, my friend's shop. And there are not many delicious restaurants in Dongshan Prefecture, which cannot be compared with the local area, and the fish and sheep soup here has a bit of the taste of Beijing. ”

This fish and sheep soup mixed with water is actually a delicious restaurant in Dongshan Prefecture, and Dongshan Prefecture already has the label of "food desert" in Liu Yifeng's mind.

Boss Liu naturally didn't have to choose the staple food by himself, and his subordinates who were familiar with him brought his favorite naan.

"Boss Liu also likes naan?"

"This one tastes better than those."

He glanced at the half of the bag in Liu Yifeng's hand, revealing an expression of "You kid is quite knowledgeable".

Naan is the Western Regions Hu cake, which became one of the staple foods in the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty. Later, with the emergence of iron pots in the Song Dynasty, the development of the south, and the popularization of Champa rice, naan slowly changed from a staple food to a small food, and Huaxia entered an era when rice was gradually dominant.

"Boss Liu is from Shan City?"

"Yes."

"Aren't there many delicious restaurants in Shan Shan City?"

"Nope." After taking a sip of soup and sending the naan down, Boss Liu said depressedly: "There is nothing delicious in the whole Dongshan Prefecture, the good chefs are basically in the local area, and the people who are willing to leave their hometowns are not big chefs, don't look at the fish soup and pasta made by the chef of this house, you let him cook a few dishes, he will stop the fire." ”

Boss Liu completely ignored that he was still in someone's store, and said without giving any face. Liu Yifeng looked back at the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper with some embarrassment, and found that the shopkeeper pretended not to hear and the shopkeeper smiled bitterly. It can be seen that to a certain extent, what Boss Liu said is also the truth.

Although Boss Liu is a businessman with a low status in the traditional concept of the Ming Dynasty, he is really rich, and he has a chef hired by his own family in the local area, and he often goes to the best restaurants or restaurants in his state capital to eat, and his appreciation of food far exceeds that of ordinary people of the same era.

In the eyes of ordinary people, steamed buns, pastries and naan, which are made entirely of white flour, are already very tasty, but he dislikes them as tasteless, just as many people in later generations prefer flower rolls to steamed buns.

"Lao Zhang, is your pastry master who spent a lot of money from Zhili still sick?"

The shopkeeper of this shop knows Boss Liu, and his personal relationship is not bad, so when Boss Liu complained about their family just now, he could only make fish and sheep soup.

"Still sick, he almost died on the road when he came by boat, and when he arrived, he almost died of illness in the heavy snow at the beginning of the year, and his body and bones were completely broken. I'm still having a headache about how to place him, and if I can't die, I can only spend money to send him back to my homeland. ”

Boss Liu admires the shopkeeper Zhang's affection and righteousness, and a ticket back to Daming is really not cheap.

That's the biggest problem in Dongshan State: it's really too far from the mainland.

In recent years, the Central Plains has relied on the expansion of many craftsmen, who used to be farmers, but now they can work for the commercial houses in the cities, and earn no less than the peasants in a year.

But most of these craftsmen were reluctant to go to the distant state of Dongshan.

First, the rumors of coming to the poor countryside of Dongshan Prefecture made them not interested, and secondly, the voyage of more than 4 months in Dongshan Prefecture was also prohibitive.

The MSA has been working hard to improve the Zheng He class, hoping to make it faster and shorten the average four-month voyage, but it has not yet worked.

"Ah, I want to eat flower rolls." Boss Liu put down the naan a little depressed and recalled the good times in his homeland.

"You can make naan, but you still can't make flower rolls?"

Boss Liu and Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Liu Yifeng, who said this, looked at him and continued: "Isn't it just to roll the noodles of the steamed buns." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang was a little unconvinced: "Steamed bread is steamed bread, flower rolls are flower rolls, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" ”

Liu Yifeng was not annoyed, and looked at Boss Liu: "Boss Liu, do you want to eat flower rolls?" If you can convince the shopkeeper to let me do it, I'll make it for you. ”

"You're a cook?"

"Not really, but Hanamaki is really simple, and I don't understand why the chef at this shop can't make it." Liu Yifeng wanted to eat flower rolls, and he was used to filling his pockets by cooking for people along the way.

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled angrily, and without waiting for Boss Liu to speak, he said directly: "You come to do it, I will refund you if you make your meal money, if you can't do it, you will accompany me with 5 taels of silver with the material fee!" ”

Boss Liu has a good impression of Liu Yifeng, after all, he has done him a great favor, and he was about to open his mouth to resolve the two, when he heard Liu Yifeng say: "Then I have a big loss, you will refund me 2 taels if I make it, and I will give you 5 taels if I don't make it, you are really a shopkeeper, and you don't suffer a loss in business." ”

"Okay! If you make it, I will refund you the food money and give you 5 taels! But I have a request, my people have to watch the whole time to see what the hell you're doing! ”

"Deal!"

Liu Yifeng felt that this money was too easy to make, and he could earn 5 taels by making a flower roll.

And the shopkeeper looks angry and laughs, but in fact he is really laughing.

At first, he was really angry, but when he saw that Liu Yifeng knew Boss Liu, he wanted to calm things down. But if the loser doesn't lose the battle, he wants to use "compensation of 5 taels" to force this man back.

I didn't expect the other party to accept it.

This means that this person is either a fool or really knows how to make hanamaki, so the person who added him must watch the whole time.

This is preparing to steal the teacher.
