Chapter 39: The Spirit of Saving Lives and Helping the Wounded
Zhao Xiong saw that it was already dark outside, and in the spirit of helping children and women and saving the wounded, he immediately arranged:
"Man, tell the shopkeeper to arrange a guest room, and cook two bowls of hot noodles in the back kitchen to remember to beat eggs and bring them into the room, and the account will be on my head."
Then he turned his head and asked the little beggar, "How many days do you want to stay?" Give money! ”
The little beggar hesitated for a moment and looked at the big beggar next to him.
The big beggar stretched out his white and tender fingers, drew a five with a pen, and then raised his eyes and quickly looked at Zhao Xiong, lowered his head, and stretched out three fingers.
The little beggar immediately looked back at Zhao Xiong, lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, thank you for your kindness!" We only stayed for three days, and when my aunt got well, we went to relatives! ”
"Three days!
Xiao Er, you tell the shopkeeper, don't disturb them, they can live as long as they want, and when they check out, the money from the checkout will be picked up at the yamen! ”
The guy standing at the door was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed.
The big and small beggar followed another guy to go up to the guest room on the second floor from the side door, and when he was about to go up to the second floor, the big beggar squatted down slightly on the edge of the stairs to Zhao Xiong to express his gratitude.
Zhao Xiong nodded with a smile, and then strode into the Fulin Gate, standing at the door of the hall and looking around, and for a while the noisy hall was silent.
Zhao Xiong is very satisfied, it can be seen that Zhao Xiongba's "great reputation" a few years ago is still circulating.
However, this time Zhao Xiong is not the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, but the nine-grade official of the Dakang Dynasty, and he is more deterrent.
Seeing Zhao Xiong coming in, all the guys in the store can now be smart, clean, and diligent.
Qi Shushu shouted:
"Master, there is a seat upstairs, where are you ......" A small shopkeeper hurriedly came to him and led a few of them up to the second floor.
They went up to the second floor, and then in the hall of Fu Linmen, suddenly there was another shout: "Chilled noodles, thin and chop, add mustard, pepper, (chili) ......."
Some of the guests in the hall whispered, and they didn't dare to speak so loudly anymore.
Zhao Xiong knows that chili peppers have spread along the canal for decades, and now most of the people walking on the Grand Canal can also eat spicy food to resist the rheumatism and cold of living on the water all year round.
Business is prosperous, the food is fragrant, the knives and spoons are noisy, and the house is full of noise, which is particularly vibrant.
The rich people on the canal are good at setting up music, and regard eating as fun, as a transaction, and as an ingredient.
In such a restaurant, so many people hug each other, waiting left and right, listening to the ear, eating comfortably, and spending money unjustly.
There is a special "grandfather".
So after the meal, they all threw down a few bounties and played with this pie.
With the development of society, Dakang did not implement the policy of banning alcohol, and the imperial court also encouraged the development of the wine industry, and the wine tax was also incorporated into the commercial tax, and there was no additional tax.
Although the imperial court collected a small amount of tax on liquor, it added up to a lot, and the prosperity of the liquor industry was also a very considerable revenue for the treasury.
At this time, Zhao Xiong suddenly heard a shout from the head of the hall: "Zhou Qiye looks at the ......" The words in the lobby on the second floor did not fall.
The room was full of guys, room cooks, vegetable washers, dishesmen, chores, including the bookkeeper, and even the owner of the restaurant all shouted: "Thank you......"
The joy of the hall made the guests feel comfortable and particularly brilliant.
Then, I went out of the gate satisfied, knowing that I would definitely come back to this place for the next meal, so there were many repeat customers.
When they went to the third floor, a guy led Zhao Xiong and the three of them towards a seat by the window, and there was a wooden screen on the dining table across the dining table.
The guy stood in front of Zhao Xiong, put the white handkerchief in his hand on his left shoulder, and said:
"Master Xiong, you haven't been here for a long time, our shopkeeper said that today's dishes are 50% off, what do you want?"
Zhao Xiong was stunned for a moment and laughed in his heart.
This is the same as when he was the director of the office, the owner of the restaurant around him, he came over to give a discount first, and then gave two free dishes.
At present, Dakang's dietary structure is still based on grain and vegetables, supplemented by meat, among which the staple food of northerners is mainly pasta, and the staple food of southerners is mainly rice.
The north side of the south has formed two important cores of the food culture of Dakang Diet.
Hanzhuang Gate is located at the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu, but it is still dominated by northern cuisine.
It's getting dark very quickly, and I'm really hungry, so why not eat?
Seeing Zhao Xiong hesitate, the guy reported the name of the dish to him with a mouthful of flowers: "The cold dishes include sauced beef, smoked small fish, spicy belly, peanut kernels, ......."
Stir-fried dishes include scorched slices, shredded Beijing sauce, fried lamb with green onions, mushu, yellow cabbage, slippery liver tips, fried waist flowers, ....... ”
After all, Zhao Xiong is a person who has made a big scene, he is not stunned or frightened everywhere, how can he have time to listen to the noise in his ears, and waved his hand impatiently.
stopped the guy from continuing to report the name of the dish: "Okay, okay, pick up the best, you can afford to eat it!" ”
Fu Linmen's guy is not ordinary, although he received Zhao Xiong's eyes, he was still not in a hurry, with a smile on his face, without the slightest weakening.
After listening to Zhao Xiong's words, he immediately shouted at the back kitchen: "Master Xiong said, pick up the best ,......。 ”
When Zhao Xiong was eating a cold noodle snack, he actually ate a chopped Chaotian pepper and called a guy to ask if there was any chopped pepper fish head.
Fresh chopped pepper fish head is Zhao Xiong's favorite!
"Master Xiong, the chopped pepper fish head you said, we don't have this dish!
Could it be that Dafeng Restaurant has a new dish! ”
It just so happened that the fat shopkeeper of Fu Linmen brought it up with a bowl of miso soup, and just heard Zhao Xiong ask if there was any chopped pepper fish head.
The fat shopkeeper replied naturally: "Master Xiong, there are fresh big fish heads, we just make fish soup base, what is chopped pepper?"
Isn't it pepper?
Pepper processed fish head, braised and stewed, don't you think it's delicious? ”
"What are you?"
Zhao Xiong smiled and pointed to the bright red Chaotian pepper in the jelly.
"I thought it was?
There was some pepper on top of the jelly, and some peppers,......。 ”
The fat shopkeeper said two sentences, and instantly came to his senses, "Is it pepper?" It's Xiongye, what are you talking about? ”
"It's not far off! Have fresh ones, give me some chili seeds, I'll let them grow!"
Zhao Xiong looked at the fat shopkeeper with a smile.
The fat shopkeeper showed a trace of distress, his original secret recipe for scraping the cold powder sauce was Chaotian pepper, and now Zhao Xiong asked for it, he had to give it, and the people didn't fight with the officials!
The fat shopkeeper didn't hesitate for a moment, "Chaotian pepper, yes, yes, yes...... I'll give it to Master Xiong, you take it. ”
After that, the fat shopkeeper hurried to the back kitchen like a wheel, and after a while, he asked the man to hurriedly hold a pot of pepper trees with withered leaves, and hurried back.
This pot of pepper trees also has a lot of peppers left for planting.
