Chapter 64: The Banquet

When I came back, the girlish weather seemed to have subsided its own sobbing, and the sky was still a little faceless, still like a layer of gray mist, looking gray, but at least the continuous drizzle and rain had stopped, and the air was mixed with fresh air.

Liu Yifu sighed a little, the rainy weather made people a little flustered, finally the weather was better, and there was a slight fly in the ointment that after Liu Yifu stepped into the quality warehouse, it seemed to have been raining for a long time, and there was a faint musty smell in the air, which made people think if there were stored things in it that were broken.

The fresh mint smell of lotus leaves after rain that belongs to nature seems to be only experienced in Dongfu.

Liu Yifu returned to the warehouse with the great monk Hui Ke, and when he walked into the side room that had just been counted, he found that Liu Zhenzhi was gone, and only one Liu Yin'er was left, Liu Yin'er saw Liu Yifu's eyes light up, and she ran over to hold Liu Yifu's hand:

"Che Bing, I'll send San Lang away, we can have a good time with the two of us, and then you will send me back."

Liu Yifu was very Danteng in his heart, can't you go back by yourself, why did this matter fall on his head inexplicably, but Liu Dashao still asked quietly on the surface:

"Why don't you go back with Saburo?"

Liu Yin'er pursed her lips, as if she was a little interested: "A few brothers are very boring, Dalang doesn't play with me, Erlang often goes out to play, but he doesn't take me; And San Lang, you see, when you come out to play for a while, you have to take care of the east and the west, and you always take care of me......"

Liu Yin'er's eldest brother Liu Yifu has seen it, and he is bent on taking his father as an example, but he feels a little ambitious and talented...... Well, it should be a promising future, and you can't hurt people like this, after all, they are Liu Muzhi's successors, but in history, Liu Muzhi's descendants are unknown to everyone, and it is not a problem of his own education and high pressure.

and Liu Yin'er said this, but it reminded Liu Yifu of Liu Yin'er's second brother Liu Shizhi, who was inadvertently skimmed in Liu Lane of Flower Street, glanced at Liu Yin'er, and rolled his eyes in his heart, people go out to play their own things, if you are known, you will definitely pester Liu Shizhi to take yourself to play, take your sister to Qinlou, this picture is simply beautiful, this is not exciting to think about...... No, it's scum when you think about it, how can you take your sister to such a place.

And Liu Yifu estimated that the tutor in Liu Mu's house was a one-size-fits-all for the child's education, and there were strict regulations, maybe the education at home suppressed the nature of these babies, and they were obedient in front of their own Lao Tzu on the surface, but in private they were more rebellious than the other.

Liu Yifu remembered that Liu Shizhi's somewhat sneaky appearance was mostly unknown to the family, and this had to let Liu Muzhi know that Liu Shizhi's child was most likely to be beaten half to death.

However, if there are some of these and not, Liu Yifu will definitely not be able to talk to Liu Yin'er, otherwise Liu Yin'er will let herself take her to the second brother at that time, and it will be wax.

Thinking that Liu Shizhi, who was honest at home, would go to that kind of place in private, he couldn't help laughing.

Liu Yin'er looked at Liu Yifu curiously, Liu Dashao hurriedly changed the topic, otherwise he could only prevaricate "I remembered a very happy thing" so he laughed out loud, and there was a high probability that he would be chased by the sensitive Liu Yin'er.

So Liu Yifu asked Liu Yin'er if she wanted to go to the fat shopkeeper to have "lunch and afternoon" together, and then send her back after eating, Liu Yin'er nodded and agreed. It's really afternoon now, and there's nothing wrong with saying it's lunch or lunch.

Liu Dashao said hello to Hui Ke, and left with Liu Yin'er.

……

After returning to the Ling Sexuan Branch, Liu Yifu walked inward under the guidance of a small maid, this branch is more like a house inhabited, so the front hall is actually more like a studio, used to receive some guests, and the backyard is no different from the structure of many rich and noble people's homes. The difference is that just entering the inner courtyard, there is a small pond in front of you, there are a few lotus leaves floating in it, the lotus flowers are not in full bloom, not because they have wilted, there are a few in the small pond, but they are still flower bones, so there is no such "leave the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain" touch.

This courtyard is still decorated with the style of jasper in the small home of the famous residence in the south of the Yangtze River, but from the overall point of view, it is repaired to have the feeling of the northern dock fort, the front yard and the back are separated, and there are houses around the back, boxy, surrounded by a three-storey attic in the middle, but many of the dock forts in the north can be used as a military base, and there are often corner towers around the corners, and there is no corner tower here that is too obvious military significance of the building, after all, this is Jiankang, and it is, However, the overall construction is still quite atmospheric.

Liu Yifu and his entourage came to a room, pushed the door in, the meals inside had been arranged, although the food was not very much, but it was better to be attentive, each dish looked quite exquisite, maybe he was hungry, this meal allowed Liu Yifu to feast.

Liu Yifu and Liu Yin'er are very satisfied, the dishes are very exquisite, Liu Yifu noticed that there is pork in the dish, this pork is handled well, and there is no smell, and I haven't eaten pork for a long time, I miss it at first glance, after all, in the later generations, more than half of the world's pigs are eliminated by us, it is a real pig-producing country, and it is a big country that eats pigs, and it generally eats mutton in Dongfu...... Wagyu beef.

In "Water Margin", you can often see a group of heroes eating beef, which also reflects the confrontation against the rules of secular etiquette, eating beef is illegal in principle, of course, there will be exceptions if there are principles, as long as you have enough power and status, there are "sick and dead" cattle to eat every day, such as ...... Dongfu.

In addition, pork is not inedible, but there are some hurdles that cannot be passed, such as Confucianism declares that "gentlemen do not eat meat", which means that the intestines of pigs and dogs are very similar to people, we must have love, so we should not do cannibalistic and immoral things.

There is also pork here that some people will call it cheap meat, which is a helpless choice for poor households to improve their lives, why is it called cheap meat? First, many pigs have not been castrated, and the pig smell is very strong; Second, the breeding environment is bad, and many of the things that pigs eat are swill or feces, and the pork quality raised in this way is very bad, which also leads to the fact that before the Ming Dynasty, the promotion of pork was almost pushed by Su Shi himself.

There is a way that:

"Clean the washing bell, with less water, and the firewood will not be able to smoke. Don't urge him when he is familiar with himself, and he is beautiful when he is full. Huangzhou is a good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble refuse to eat, the poor do not understand how to cook, get up in the morning and make two bowls, so that they are full of their own kings. ”

This Su Shi's "Ode to Pork", after it spread, made the grade of pork go up to a level, and many places in later generations have spread the different Dongpo meat practices created by Su Shi's derogatory place.

In addition, in fact, he is an excellent talent cultivated by a big foodie country, Liu Yifu doesn't care about these, as long as he handles them well, these don't matter.

However, at this time, Su Shi was not born yet, and the pig species was far from having a high status as in later generations, and now it is often the meat that is quite unpopular among the six animals, and those who have the ability to improve their diet often do not choose pigs to fight their teeth.

is also because Liu Yifu seems to have no resistance to pork, but Zhang Xi glanced at Liu Yifu again, because although this pork is handled very well, there are still many high-ranking people who do not eat it, and there is no shortage of reasons because of "why is it too anxious to fry each other", in fact, there is a situation where this meat does not match himself to a large extent, as mentioned earlier, the environment for many pork slaughters is very bad, and the food is also dung, so how can these self-proclaimed high-class characters accept it.

After eating and drinking, Liu Yifu wanted to send Liu Yin'er back first, but the little girl was in a mood, so she would definitely take her out to play later, so Liu Yin'er pouted and nodded reluctantly.

Liu Yifu saw that Zhang Xi seemed to have something to say, so Liu Yifu asked Liu Yin'er to wait for him for a while, and the two found a room.

But soon he didn't care, and sure enough, Zhang Xi had something to find himself, and the fat man asked:

"I heard Wei Wen say before, Lang Jun seems to have studied this tea brewing vessel?"

Liu Yifu's heart jumped, his eyes quickly turned twice, as if he was thinking about some questions, and nodded quietly.

He really didn't expect that Zhang Xi came to match the tea set.

"Originally, I wanted to come to ask for advice in a few days, but now I have met it, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day," Zhang Xi leaned forward and said with a smile, "Lang Jun, can you advise, if it is appropriate, the servant can also be generalized." His index finger kept beating his thigh.

Liu Yifu looked at the other side with a smile, glanced at Zhang Xi's gesture, and then shirked:

"When the servant communicated with Uncle Wei at that time, he just said it casually, and it was not very appropriate."

Seeing this, Zhang Xi didn't know where he didn't know, this was the Lord who didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle:

"In this way, whether it is suitable or not, Xiao Langjun only cares about the servant, if it is suitable, the servant can let Langjun give the profit to Sancheng, just like before."

Liu Yifu was noncommittal, businessmen often don't explain their bottom line at the beginning, these Liu Yifu understand, so Liu Dashao also played Tai Chi with him, and then asked slowly:

"Shopkeeper Zhang also deals in tea sets?"

"A small business, a small business, it's not as big as your family's big business, it's just a mess." The fat shopkeeper waved his hand again and again.

"Shopkeeper Zhang is modest" Liu Yifu laughed, slandering the old fox in his heart, why didn't the other party slander Liu Yifu's little fox.

Then Zhang Xi said, "This is only for supporting promotion, and it has to be done after this brewing method prevails, so let Sancheng be the greatest sincerity for Xiao Langjun." ”

Zhang Xi said very sincerely, it seems

"When this tea set comes, if the timing is right, there will naturally be celebrities to promote, and its effect may not be worse than the promotion of the shopkeeper, it is better to wait for the coming day, and wait for the brewing method to prevail in the world, and then plan." Liu Yifu was unmoved.
