Chapter 15 Peking Duck

Inside the drunken stone house, Zhang Yun celebrated the perfect solution of the "Demon Book Case", and at the same time, in order to shock Zhang Jingxiu, here, Zhang Jingxiu and his old team were invited to a banquet.

Zhang Yun sat in the first place, picked up the wine glass, and said to everyone: "I was able to escape this time, all thanks to the help of my brothers, come, I salute you." After everyone saw Zhang Yun get up to toast, they didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After Zhang Yun finished drinking, he looked at Zhang Jingxiu, who was in shock, and hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "This time, it's my fault as a younger brother, I almost hurt my brother, if my brother wants to blame, blame me, I admit to punishment." ”

Today's Zhang Jingxiu, wearing a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, a noble son dressed up, after hearing Zhang Yun apologize to him, after a moment of silence, he looked at Zhang Yun with a straight face, and said slowly: "This matter has passed, and there is no need to mention it again, but Brother Xian, if there is such a thing in the future, you tell me in advance, and I will have a good defense." Zhang Jingxiu remembered that in the court, Zhang Siwei said that when he released a banned book, he was so frightened that his legs were weak. In particular, the hateful house slave dared to betray him, and as soon as he returned, he immediately found someone, repaired him, and finally punished him for falsely accusing his master.

It's no wonder he was so angry, after all, publishing banned books was a big crime at the time.

After Zhang Yun heard this, he also hurriedly said with a smile: "What the eldest brother said is that this time it was my negligence, which almost affected the eldest brother, and the younger brother must be thoughtful in doing things in the future." Zhang Jingxiu no longer cared.

Zhang Yun clapped his hands, and then in the private room, there were constantly small servants walking in with delicious food. What kind of dense braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised sea cucumber with green onions...... After Zhang Yun saw that the dishes were ready, he motioned for everyone to start moving the chopsticks, Zhang Yun picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and scratched it in his mouth, and the whole mouth was surrounded by fresh fragrance.

Everyone also began to cook, especially Han Cheng and Zhao Hu, two foodies, they were originally, just two small flags of Jinyiwei, every month's money, not enough to come to this drunken stone residence, consume once, it is rare for Zhang Yun to have a treat, but he has to have a good meal, what he sees, he is directly sent to his mouth, causing a burst of contempt from others, he and the two of them don't care about other people's eyes, they just continue to bury their heads in cooking.

Zhang Jingxiu is a lot more gentle, after all, as the son of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, he has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, these things are just commonplace for him, every dish, he symbolically moved a chopstick, and then put down the chopsticks and looked at the others quietly.

Zhang Yun was thinking at this time, what else is there to make money quickly, after all, selling books now, I'm afraid it's not easy to sell, Zhang Siwei now has the original in his hand, that old boy will definitely find a way to make money himself. Zhang Yun thought about it, his eyes shifted, on a dish, only to see a red roast duck on the plate, Zhang Yun picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and found that the taste was far from the Peking duck he had eaten before, so he had a new money-making plan in his heart.

Thinking of this, the big stone in Zhang Yun's heart was also put down, and he asked someone to come up with a few bottles of wine, to not get drunk with everyone, considering Zhang Jingxiu's amount of wine, Zhang Yun asked him to replace the wine with tea, and after a while of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhang Yun's consciousness gradually blurred.

The next day, early in the morning, after Zhang Yun woke up, he touched his head, which was still a little dizzy, and muttered: "Sure enough, alcohol is really not a good thing, it seems that you still have to be restrained in the future." ”

After Zhang Yun washed, he immediately called his housekeeper Uncle Zhong and told him to get a few ducks to come over, and after Uncle Zhong got the instructions, he immediately complied, and after a while, he saw two subordinates, with a few slaughtered ducks, walked to Zhang Yun's courtyard.

"Childe, everything is ready, all according to your orders, and all you are looking for are high-quality ducks." Uncle Zhong said respectfully on the side

Zhang Yun smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to put the duck into the oven that had been built, and it was the first time for everyone to see such a strange thing, but Zhang Yun had ordered, and they had to do it, and for a while, the entire courtyard was filled with smoke, and the temperature around them had risen a lot. Zhang Yun stared at the dancing flames and prayed in his heart: "Whether it can be done or not depends on you." ”

About 20 minutes later, Zhang Yun saw that the time was almost up, and ordered the servant to take down the duck, but when he took it out, Zhang Yun was instantly dumbfounded, the whole duck, one side was burnt, and one side was not cooked, Zhang Yun had to continue, let the duck go in to roast, after absorbing the results of the last failure, Zhang Yun roasted it this time, at least it looked good, Zhang Yun used a blade to put a piece, picked it up and put it in his mouth, and then shook his head and continued to order people to roast.

After failing countless times, Zhang Yun picked up a piece of roast duck, and finally, finally showed a satisfied expression, everyone saw this, overjoyed, Zhang Yun also sliced the duck and gave it to everyone to taste, Feng Yue, gently picked up a piece, gave it to his own cherry mouth, and then screamed excitedly: "Childe, this is also too delicious, much better than the duck made by my grandfather during the festival, this is estimated to be sold for one or two pieces of silver." ”

After Zhang Yun heard Feng Yue's scream, he was also full of spring, then shook his head with a smile, stretched out a finger, and said slowly: "10 taels, 10 taels one, and at the beginning, I also gave them a limited amount, I am going to open a restaurant, which will be the signature dish of our restaurant." ”

After everyone heard the price Zhang Yun said, they all stopped what they were doing, and after a while, Feng Yue said tremblingly: "Childe, is it really ten taels?" If it's ten taels, will anyone really buy it? In their point of view, ten taels of silver is a huge amount of money, but for those dignitaries, ten taels of silver is just a reward for them to visit the Qinglou. Zhang Yun has no way to change it now, this kind of extravagant concept, he has to be alone first, wait until he has the ability, wait until he becomes a feudal official, and then realize his political ideals.

After receiving Zhang Yun's instructions to open a restaurant, Zhao Yong and Han Cheng immediately took people to inspect the location, just around a corner in the east of the city, there was a large flow of people, and there were many entertainment venues nearby. After Zhao Yong learned that Zhang Yun opened a restaurant, he immediately bought the restaurant at a low price, and the cooks were ready-made.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Yun took Feng Yue and others to investigate, Zhang Yun walked into the store, and saw that the cooks and men in the store were lined up there, waiting for him, standing in the first place, was a 40-year-old, shrewd middle-aged man wearing a long shirt, after seeing Zhang Yun come in, he immediately came to greet him with a smile.

"The little Yang Cheng has seen the son, and the small one is this restaurant, the original shopkeeper."

Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, and then began to look at the layout of the store, there were about 30 tables inside, the second floor was a private room, and the first floor was full of lanterns, a joyful scene. Zhang Yun walked up to the second floor, everyone followed him, Yang Cheng was next to Zhang Yun, respectfully reporting his performance to him, Zhang Yun listened, but also sighed at this person's management ability, and said in his heart: "It seems that this person can be reused." ”

Zhang Yun looked at Yang Cheng, who knew the entire restaurant well, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang is really a good hand at doing business, not only has first-class management ability, but even the accounting is handy, I will rest assured that the restaurant will be handed over to you." After Yang Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed, his hanging heart finally fell, and he was also nervous about this change of owner, after all, once a son of heaven and a courtier, now, hearing that Zhang Yun still wanted to continue to reuse him, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Zhang Yun: "Childe, rest assured, the villain will definitely run the restaurant prosperously, and will never live up to the expectations of the son."

Zhang Yun then asked him to add the roast duck to the cuisine as a signature dish, Yang Cheng listened, although he didn't know the selling point of this roast duck, but this was what Zhang Yun ordered, and he had to do it.

After Yang Cheng saw that Zhang Yun had finished his order, he asked respectfully: "Childe, do we still need to change the name of our restaurant?" ”

Zhang Yun smiled and nodded, and then asked people to take out a pen and paper and write down three big words: "Quanjude." ”
