Chapter 69: Xu Chai Lao (I)

At dinner, Tieta hastily ate a few bites and put down his chopsticks.

"Is today's meal not to taste? How can I eat less than me? Zheng He asked with concern.

"I've never been picky about eating, but now my life is too leisurely, and there are a few extra pieces of fat on my stomach, so I plan to lose weight." The tower is very depressed, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet! It's really detrimental to the image of a pot-bellied poop like this.

"That's a shame." Zheng He said regretfully, "Originally, I was going to take you to eat a famous dish, which saved a lot of silver." ”

"What famous dish? Tell me about it! "The tower was interested when he heard it.

"Aren't you trying to lose weight? Why are you still asking so much? ”

"You can eat less to lose weight, but you can't stop eating, don't tell me such a simple truth, you don't know."

"Fu Shouquan! Have you ever eaten this dish? ”

"I've never eaten it, and it's the first time I've even heard it." The tower tells the truth.

"I've heard others mention it, and it's said to be a famous Fujian dish." Lord Wang interjected, "It's a pity that I haven't eaten it." ”

"Then you have a blessed mouth." Zheng He said triumphantly.

"Will you do it? How did I not know you still had this skill? "The tower is skeptical.

"I can't do it, but someone will!" Zheng He ordered someone to make fragrant tea, and the conversation box also opened, "The next stop is Luzon (now Luzon Island, Philippines), there is a local overseas Chinese named Xu Chai Lao, I had a relationship with him when I passed there last time, but I didn't expect the two to become good friends at first sight." Xu Chai Lao's ancestral home is Jinjiang, Fujian, and his ancestors were the imperial chefs of the former dynasty. At the age of eighteen, Xu Chai Lao followed the elders of the clan to Luzon to do business, but he didn't want to be a little unlucky and didn't make any money, but he was not discouraged, and borrowed money to open a Minjiang restaurant. Xu Chai Lao's signature dish is Fu Shouquan, this dish is abalone, pork belly, scallops, shark fin, sea cucumber and other more than a dozen ingredients are put in the jar and boiled over a simmer, soft and silky, fragrant and fragrant...... Zheng He said while wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and Lord Wang listened to it with his index finger moving and salivating.

"I've eaten a lot of delicious food in my life, and the only thing I never forget is this Fu Shouquan." Zheng He said with a smile, "King of the Iron Tower, Lord Wang, we are good brothers, and I will definitely not forget you if there are benefits." ”

"Lord Zheng, you are really interesting, brother, thank you, hehe!" Lord Wang is an out-and-out foodie, and of course he is very happy when he hears that there are delicious foods.

Although the tower is not very particular about eating and drinking, Fushou is a famous Chinese dish, and it must have a unique flavor to taste this delicious dish in a foreign country, and I can't help but have some expectations in my heart.

With concern in my heart, no matter how fast the ship was, it seemed that the speed of the ship became slower, and the fleet finally arrived on the island of Luzon that day. As soon as the treasure ship docked, Zheng He couldn't wait to take everyone to the market, and kept urging: "Hurry up, it's too late to go and there is no seat." ”

Ding Erniu smiled: "You are a friend of Boss Xu, are you afraid that there is no position?" Maybe he'd already had a box ready and waiting. ”

"He's not an immortal, how can he know I'm here? Do you want him to drive the other guests out? Zheng He strode forward without looking back.

From afar, I saw a two-storey restaurant standing at the intersection, with red walls and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, simple and elegant shapes, and festive red lanterns were hung under the eaves, which was very characteristic of China. In the middle of the second floor, there is an antique black-on-black gold-lettered signboard, on which are written "Minjiang Restaurant" four strong and powerful characters.

Zheng He said happily: "That's right, this is it, I remember it clearly." ”

A few people walked into the restaurant to see, the situation inside was really disappointing, there was not a single guest in the spacious hall, only a guy in his twenties dozing on the counter.

The tower frowned, this is unreasonable! It's dinner time, so even if the business is bad, there must be a few customers! is cold and deserted, and it is a world of difference from the busy traffic that Zheng He said. He asked Zheng He suspiciously: "Brother, are you looking for the wrong place?" ”

Zheng He also looked incredulous, "Could it be that I really remembered it wrong?" Impossible! I remember that it was this street, and there was a rice shop across the street! Even if I'm mistaken, the gold-lettered sign on the outside can't be faked. Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head to see that the "Qian Ji" grain and oil store opposite was full of people and lively, isn't it here?

Since you're not in the wrong place, let's start ordering! But after waiting for a long time and no one came up to say hello, Zheng He patted the table and shouted, "Little Er, order." ”

The guy was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground, glared at Zheng He dissatisfiedly, wiped his eyes and yawned, although he was wearing a Huaxia-style robe, he was short in stature and had a dark face, and he knew at a glance that he was a native of Luzon. "What do you want to eat?" The guy asked weakly.

The customer is the God of Wealth, do you think of us as the God of Wealth? shouted uncle, but in fact, he himself is the uncle! Tie Ta teased: "Lord Zheng, this benefit you have brought me is really a bit of a surprise. ”

Zheng He's face was swollen and red, and the brothers happily came to eat Fu Shouquan, but I didn't expect to encounter this situation, which made me lose face in front of the King of the Iron Tower, and I really made my mood very bad. He said to the guy with a calm face: "What about your boss Xu? Invite him out, and say that Zheng He is here. ”

The guy is the second monk who is confused, "What Boss Xu?" I haven't heard of it, but this restaurant was owned by the Governor. ”

"Could it be that the restaurant has changed owners?" Zheng He was very surprised, and then shook his head again and again, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The restaurant is Xu Chailao's brainchild, how could he stop doing it for no reason? ”

"Hey! Are you here for dinner or for news? The guy was already a little unhappy, but now he was even more unhappy, and his tone became fierce.

"We're not going to eat, let's go now." The tower was in no mood to eat at the moment, and got up and walked towards the door.

"Don't go!" The guy quickly stepped forward to stop them, "You guys left without giving money, do you want to eat the overlord meal?" No wonder I said it was a friend of the boss as soon as I came in, but fortunately I didn't fall for you. ”

His words amused everyone, and Tie Ta smiled: "This is strange, we have neither eaten nor drunk here, and we haven't even drunk a glass of boiled water, why should we give money?" ”

The man crossed his left hand on his waist, pointed to the tower with his right hand, and the spit in his mouth splashed everywhere, "I had to give up a few big businesses just now in order to entertain you, who will pay for this loss?" Want to find fault, don't you? If you want to make trouble, you must inquire clearly, the Governor is not easy to provoke, and you can be arrested and imprisoned with a word. ”

Gave up a couple of big businesses? None of the ghosts came in just now except for us, and this guy clearly wanted to rip off the bamboo, but he found the wrong person this time. The tower reached out and tossed him aside, and said impatiently, "Get out of the way, and disappear before I'm angry." ”

The man rolled out like a spinning top, lay on the ground and shouted, "Someone! Help me! Some people don't pay for food, and they beat people. ”

Zheng He and Lord Wang looked at each other and smiled, this guy is really trickier than a shrew, and people who don't know really think that we have eaten white food when they hear it!

As soon as the curtain was lifted, more than a dozen men rushed out from behind, some holding kitchen knives, some holding iron rods, looking at their outfits were either cooks or men, but they all showed fierce eyes, and they were by no means good.

Ding Erniu was about to draw his knife, but Zheng He held him down, "There is the King of the Iron Tower here, let's just watch the excitement." ”

Yes! How could I not have thought of it! Ding Erniu smiled from ear to ear, he had a blessing in his eyes today.

A group of people surrounded the iron tower in the middle, and shouted viciously, "You have turned against the sky, and you dare to make trouble here, believe it or not, I let the governor cut off the heads of several of you?" ”

"Hillbilly, if you don't want to make things bigger, take five hundred taels of silver out to make soup and medicine, otherwise don't want to get out of this door. We are all well-wishers, and the food money will not be yours. ”

It's really lawless, Qingtian and white days dare to extort, this can blow up the iron tower, the silver is more than himself, how to spend it is not up to others to decide, if it is for his compatriots, not to mention five hundred taels, even five thousand taels are also happily given, if I want to give money to these hooligans and bullies, then I have to ask me if I agree to these fists. "I'll count to three, and if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude." The tower said coldly.

The man got up from the ground and said in a strange way, "Yo, you can count!" I can't see that you are still a Sven, but you are doing things that violate the law and discipline. Arrest them all and hand them over to the Governor. The guy greeted his accomplice, lowered his head and pushed towards Zheng He's lower abdomen, and the others also waved the guy in their hands and rushed over.

Zheng He laughed angrily, first of all, he was angry with me, this is to pinch me as a soft persimmon!

The tower shook his head sadly, and in his own eyes the group was like a small ant, and he was not even interested in pinching them. He put a hand around the man's neck and threw it at the vat at the door. The head was okay, and in the frightened screams, the guy stuck his head and feet upside down in the tank, making a splash. The iron tower was not merciless, one was lost, two were lost, and a dozen people were thrown on the wine vat in the blink of an eye, stacked high like Arhats.

With so many people pressing on him, the wine vat was not happy, and the "snap" finally fell apart.

More than a dozen people were lying on the street, crying and crying for their mother, and the guy who was pressed under him was the worst, not to mention his nose and swollen face, and his face was cut several times by fragments, and he grinned because of the pain of the drink.

"Finish the day." Tie Ta clapped his palms and walked out of the restaurant calmly.

The crowd outside was already full of people watching the excitement, and when they saw these outsiders leaving after beating people, they were all frightened, which stabbed the hornet's nest! But he didn't dare to step forward to remind them that no one wanted to get into trouble these days.
