Before the Great Dynasty Meeting, Meng He came to report that Zhong Ding Pavilion and Baoyue Building had been renovated, and the people were almost trained, and it was planned to open the next day after the Great Dynasty Meeting. At that time, Xianyang had the most officials in various places, and it was able to quickly open up its reputation.

After listening to this, I smiled and said, "This girl has finally opened her mind, and told her that the day is a good choice, and I will leave a private room for me on the opening day, and I will go and taste how the food is doing." ”

Meng He took the order and went.

Yinglan here is full of confidence, since she tasted the stir-fried vegetables and noodles made by Ku Jia, and then she eats the usual meals, which is like chewing wax.

The only concern is the pricing I'm asking for. It is no exaggeration to say that a meal in Zhongding Pavilion or a night stay in Baoyue Tower can cost ordinary people a month's income!

But after thinking about the dishes made by Zhong Dingge and the decoration of Baoyue Building, she felt that it didn't seem to be so expensive......

Three days later, the Hajj meeting was over.

Early the next morning, I took Meng Tian, Zhang Liang, Yu He, and Li Si to Zhongding Pavilion. Not long after Zhang Han arrived in Lingnan, he didn't let him come back at this court meeting, otherwise he would have been running on the road for half a year, and his body would not be able to bear it.

Zhang Liang was a little surprised when he heard that I was going to take him with him. Needless to say, Yu He and Li Si are both three dukes, and Meng Tian is the general of the border army stationed in the north, but he is Zhang Liang, but he is just a prison historian, and he doesn't understand why he took him.

In fact, I took into account Zhang Liang's talent, and now that he is worthy of my trust, if there is a chance, I naturally hope that he can enter the top of the court. But I always felt that he was a little distant when he was with me. Maybe it's because he is a Korean nobleman after all, and it's not so easy to forget the pain of destroying the country.

Several people did not go together, they all set off separately and converged at Zhongding Pavilion, otherwise the goal would be too big.

By the time I arrived at the Zhongding Pavilion, it was already overcrowded, and Yinglan arranged for people to keep beating gongs and drums at the door to attract guests. However, most people are already scared to go in when they see the decoration at the door, especially the words hanging in the hall and can be seen at the door: where Zhong Ming Ding eats, Zhong Ming Pavilion also!

Ying Lan finally hung up the painting......

Even so, there are still many people who choose to go in and have a look. Zhong Ming Pavilion is close to the location of the Great Qin merchants, and many dignitaries and nobles will choose to come here to relax, and they are willing to try it when they see the unique decoration inside. For them, money is not an issue, as long as it can bring them freshness, they are willing to spend as much as they want.

I walked in wearing a hat, and Meng He also covered his face. There is no way, there must be powerful people who come, and someone must recognize me.

When Yinglan saw two strangely dressed people coming in, she immediately guessed that it was me, and hurriedly stepped forward and took me up to the second floor.

Li Si and the others had already arrived, and they were talking with interest about the various decorations of the Zhongming Pavilion.

"Li Xiang, did you see it when you came in just now? The ground is covered with Nanmu! The best Kusunoki! There is no luxury in the palace to pave the ground with nanmu, and this Zhongming Pavilion is directly paved with nanmu? This is Meng Tian's voice.

"And the stool and table are so comfortable that they are not couches. I only heard that the old Zhao once promoted the Hu stool for a while, and it is similar to this stool, but the backrest and the armrest are missing. It's much more comfortable to sit with your feet down than to sit on your knees. Yu He's voice.

"yes, this table is a little higher than a stool, just enough to put your hands on it and sit up straight. If you write on a table, it's much better than kneeling on a couch and leaning forward to write. The clear voice was Zhang Liang.

I smiled slightly, Yinglan pushed the door open, and I stepped inside. Meng He stayed outside the gate to guard.

"It's a pleasure to hear you talk."

Several people hurriedly got up, and just as they were about to salute, I waved my hand, walked to the top and sat down.

"Don't be polite, let's just taste the food today, don't be restrained."

Several people smiled, still arched their hands, and then sat down.

Zhang Liang sat with these people for the first time, and only Li Si had seen him, but everyone knew about my pardon of Zhang Liang and his reuse. Zhang Liang did not have the slightest restraint, and responded appropriately with the three of them, neither humble nor arrogant.

I nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "Except for Li Xiang, none of you should have seen Zhang Liang." Zhang Liang is now the supervisor of Jiangnan Province, supervising the development of Jiangnan. Jiangnan has developed well now, and it will become a rich land of Great Qin in the future, and Zhang Liang has a long way to go. ”

Zhang Liang bowed slightly, bowed his hand and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Liang will go all out." ”

Li Si smiled and said kindly: "The eunuch is a young man, and His Majesty has a great talent." ”

Yu He and Meng Tian echoed a few words.

After a while, a man brought the food.

The Qin Dynasty still had a separate meal system, and the table was not a table of eight immortals, but a set of tables and chairs for each person. This room is slightly larger, with a table at the top and two on the left and right. If it is in the lobby, there are only four small tables surrounding one table, and some strange stones are placed in the middle, which is somewhat like the layout of meetings in later generations.

"Come, try them all, Shang Restaurant will occasionally make some stir-fried dishes for me, and it tastes good."

Compared with the stir-fried dishes of later generations, it is naturally much worse, and it is difficult to make up the seasoning alone, but fortunately, the spicy and numb flavors can be seasoned by peppercorns and dogwood seeds, and they can also make a living.

There are four dishes on the table.

One is the common fried green vegetables, the other is the boiled venison and stir-fried with seasonings, and the two dishes are Dongpo beef and green onion fried mutton. Because pork is more fat, beef is used instead.

Li Si first noticed the utensils that served the dishes.

"Your Majesty, this porcelain ......"

I smiled slightly: "It's sold to Yinglan, Li Xiang can rest assured, the money has gone into the treasury, and I won't fill my pocket." ”

Li Si hurriedly snorted: "The minister didn't mean that, I didn't expect that Miss Yinglan used to be His Majesty's right-hand man, and now she is also handy in business." ”

This sentence has come to my heart, Yinglan is indeed a rare right-hand man, she grew up with me since she was a child, and she doesn't have to doubt her loyalty. In the future, it may be a bit difficult for some businesses to rely on Taoyao alone, so that Inva Landuo can also play a greater role in the future.

"Hahaha, I am very satisfied with Yinglan, you have to take more care of her in the future. Of course, I don't mean to let you come here to eat every day. ”

The four of them nodded and laughed.

Then he started to eat, and Li Si took the lead in tasting the oily-looking Dongpo beef, and first praised it: "Not bad, not bad, the entrance is smooth and tender, and it will be crumbled when you bite it." ”

Then he reacted and asked with some suspicion: "Your Majesty, is this ...... Beef? ”

"Yes, beef. However, Li Xiang can rest assured that I will not violate Qin's laws and kill cattle privately. If I don't tell you that this cow is dead of old age, I'm afraid you won't believe it, right? ”

At this time, Yu He also tasted it, and there was some surprise on his iceberg-like face.

"Your Majesty said that this cow died of old age? Why is the entrance so soft and glutinous? Can't taste the slightest taste of dry firewood? ”

I smiled mysteriously: "Exclusive secret recipe." The source of the cow, you can go to Xianyang Ling to verify it and see if what I said is false. ”
