When the shopkeeper heard that they had won the fifth place in the exam, they also shouted and called the guys in the store and the neighbors together, each with a musical instrument, and began to perform "He Zhuangyuan" to celebrate them.

Lu Xu was caught in it, indiscriminately filled, and was particularly devoted.

Later, even Lu Zhou was hard-pulled to join, only Yan Junqi himself was surrounded in the middle, and it was as lively as the New Year.

Before leaving, Lu Xu ran to buy a lot of fruits and sugar, and sent them one by one.

After the musical instrument store was distributed, it was distributed to the neighbors, and the neighbors were distributed to the passers-by and children, and Yan Junqi couldn't stop it if he wanted to.

Since they were already embarrassed, Yan Junqi also went out to get candy to accompany Lu Xu, who didn't come out to get candy, they also ran to knock on the door in frenzy.

Fortunately, the neighbors are all ordinary people, and they are happy to know that they have a good ranking in the exam, and no one is disappointed, and many people have given gifts in return.

Lu Xu went home and made snacks for another afternoon, and returned them to the neighbors one by one.

In the evening, he was still unsatisfied, "It's a pity that he is not in Guanyang." ”

Otherwise, the entire Lujia Village will have to set up a flowing water banquet today, and all the shops in the county will give gifts today, and he will also send candy and snacks to the people of the county, and knock on the door from door to door!

Several small restaurants in Beijing inquired around, and finally figured out who Lu Xu was, and when they discussed and came to find him, Lu Xu was distributing snacks to his neighbors in the alley.

Seeing a group of them coming, he sent them one by one without asking, and the monks of the second and second of those people were confused, and they didn't say a word, and the first hand was stuffed with a large twist.

The small Lu Xu is embarrassed to send it, this kind of large twist flower that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, which is convenient for the elderly and children in the neighborhood to eat, and it looks magnificent.

The restaurant owners were inexplicable, looked down at the twist flowers, took a bite, and ho! It smells so good!

It is worthy of being the first person to engage in fried, look at how well the heat control of others, the outside is red and crispy but not mushy, the inside is as soft as steamed, a pinch, more than an inch thick twist can be less than a finger thick, loose, the twist gradually fluffy and bounced, the sweetness is just right, not light and not greasy.

Several people immediately communicated.

There is a hand, and there is indeed a hand.

But before they could say anything, Lu Xu ran away with the basket, and after they lived in this alley, he wanted to send it to the alley next to it.

Several people: ???

It was Yan Junqi who noticed that something seemed to be wrong with them first, and stopped Lu Xu in time, so he didn't let them run away.

Lu Xu gave the basket to Lu Zhou and asked Lu Zhou to continue to distribute it, especially the people who gave them gifts in the afternoon, and they must be delivered.

He happily beckoned a few people into the door, and a few people greeted them politely, and when he inquired, it turned out that Yan Junqi was actually this year's candidate, and he also took the fifth place in the exam, and he was also happy.

After drinking a pot of tea on both sides, Lu Xu asked later, "Is there anything you are looking for me?" ”

"Oh, I'm the owner of Zuihualou, my surname is Fang, this is the owner of Ningchuan Restaurant, this is the owner of Chunshan Restaurant, this is ......" He introduced them one by one, explaining his intentions: "I heard that Lu Dangjia is not limited to regions, and has been teaching stir-fry skills in restaurants around the world, but I don't know if there are people who cooperate in Beijing?" ”

Lu Xu was stunned, he didn't expect someone to come to the door to ask this.

However, listening to the other party's address to him, Lu Dangjia also asked a lot of information.

Lu Xu smiled: "There is such a thing, no one in the capital has come to our Guanyang to study, but I met the thief first when I came to the capital." ”

He was afraid that it would affect Yan Junqi's exam, he hadn't told Yan Junqi about it, and he had forgotten a little about it, and when he was mentioned at this time, Lu Xu also took the opportunity to ask, "Do you know what the background of Ruixiang Building is, why is it so fearless?" ”

Boss Fang snorted, "This Ruixiang Building is a time-honored brand in Beijing, and the old shopkeeper in the past made steamed goose is also a must in Beijing, and he himself is the boss and the chef and the shopkeeper, and he has run the store, but it will not work when it is passed on to his son's generation." ”

Another said: "As soon as the old man died, the three sons broke up, and in the end, even the restaurant was sold, and a few were handed over, and finally the boss took it now." ”

Boss Fang: "At first, it didn't work, but then I got a bunch of recipes for stir-frying vegetables out of nowhere, and every year I put on new dishes, and the business started." ”

"Isn't it, stir-frying, in the past, only in the palace and dignitaries and nobles, but later it was your Guanyang pot that came over, and it slowly became popular."

"We haven't figured out a few dishes yet, Ruixianglou has already put together enough menus."

Everyone sighed again, and they were very angry after sighing.

I used to think that I couldn't do it, I worked hard, I rolled it, I still couldn't do it, I was angry with myself, I made trouble for a long time, damn, it was Ruixianglou who secretly cheated!

Yan Junqi only listened to the general understanding of the beginning and the end, and asked, "What month does Ruixiang Mansion change new dishes every year?" ”

"How many months?" Several people were stunned.

"May!"

"Yes, it's May! Early May! Boss Fang was also very sure, "My family is on the same street as his family, and new dishes are added in May every year, I have also pondered before, why do you have to get ten dishes and then serve them, isn't it more appropriate to produce a new dish every month, it turns out to be ten recipes at a time!" ”

Several people became angry again.

Yan Junqi silently estimated the days.

Lu Xu writes the menu at the end of the year or the beginning of each year, and the restaurants and restaurants he cooperates with are generally from the end of the first month to the beginning of February to take the dividends to Guanyang to change the list.

They came from Guanyang at the end of October, took a mule cart all the way, and arrived in the capital in early February, walking on the road for more than four months.

If the other party gets the menu at the beginning of May, it can be like this when there were fewer cars and horses in the past, that is, as soon as they get the menu from Guanyang, they will immediately send it to the capital.

If the person who gave them the menu was too far away from Guanyang, they wouldn't have time to go to Guanyang to get the recipe first, and then send it to the capital.

In this way, the person who gave them the menu was definitely not far from Guanyang.

Yan Junqi silently recalled in his mind which of the several counties and towns near Guanyang had connections in the capital.

Lu Xu was still asking: "Who is the boss of this house, do you know?" ”

"I know, the surname is the generation, and the generation is the third son."

As soon as Lu Xu heard their name, he immediately asked, "People from the capital?" ”

"That's right, the gangsters in the South City Copper and Iron Workshop!"

"Copper and Iron Workshop?" Lu Xu was stunned and wondered: "Isn't the copper and iron workshop a workshop dedicated to building armor for the army?" ”

"Yes, that's where he is!"

"His father and his brothers are blacksmiths, and he has an elder brother who is from the Dragon and Tiger Camp, and now it seems to be a hundred households?"

"A thousand households."

Lu Xu: "......"

Dragon and Tiger Battalion, isn't that the pro-army of General Fan Xiao?

He was inexplicable, why did he still have a relationship with the Dragon and Tiger Battalion.

The author has something to say:

Lu Zhou: Why do you look at the results every time you look like my brother is the candidate?

Lu Xu: You don't understand! You don't understand!

The stress reaction of the test is too much, and the scumbag is sad and tearful.

Chapter 202: Cooperation

He is familiar with the Northern Army, and he is also familiar with the Xiao Cavalry, but he is not compatible with the Dragon and Tiger Battalion at all.

How did Dragon Tiger Camp get his recipes?

He suppressed his doubts for the time being, and continued to inquire with them, except for this generation of San'er's family who had been in the army for generations, and his brother was sure that it was Qianwai of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, he couldn't inquire about anything.

Lu Xu had no choice but to inquire about the Dragon and Tiger Camp again.

In addition to the regular army for maintaining law and order in each county, there are only five armies with generals.

The Northern Frontier Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army, and the Tiger Ben Army garrisoned the north, the Imperial Forest Army guarded the Beijing Division, and there was a Changteng Army stationed on the southwest border.

The Tiger Army and the Northern Army are all newly established by His Majesty today for the barbarians, the main Tiger Army is led by the general Fan Xiao, and the status is transcendent, and the Dragon and Tiger Battalion is the elite of the Tiger Army, and the name is still given by Emperor Hong'an himself.

After defeating the barbarians, Fan Xiao returned to Beijing and handed over the Tiger Army to his son Wei Dingshan along with the Dragon and Tiger Battalion of the pro-army, and guarded the barbarians together with the Northern Army.

No matter how Lu Xu listened, he couldn't fight with this dragon and tiger battalion, could it be that the Xiao cavalry leaked out?

He didn't doubt the Northern Army, Li Xiu had a good relationship with the other armies, Tan Shishi opened a food shop in the military camp, as long as he paid taxes and grain on time, he didn't care.

After Lu Xu and Lu Xuan opened restaurants, grain shops, and leather shops in Qinglong City, Zhang Biao took a stake in all the transactions in Qinglong City, and also gave his inn to the Guanyang Alliance to help him run it, and it was very easy to get the recipes that Lu Xu left in Qinglong City.

Lu Xu conspiracy theorized, and felt that Zhang Biao was not that kind of person.

He had the impression that Zhang Biao was quite tall, and with Zhang Chang's domineering personality, if he really wanted a prescription, he should have asked him directly.

Lu Xu couldn't figure it out, so he put it aside for the time being and talked to them about joining first.

He counted, there were a total of nine people who came to him this time, belonging to five inns, three in the southern city, and two in the eastern city, Lu Xu thought for a moment and said: "The capital is different from other places, I can't only cooperate with three in the capital." ”

"It's nature." Nine people also understand.

A capital city alone has an area of more than ten county seats, and the total number of restaurants and inns is more than that of the entire Longxing County.

They asked, "I wonder how many Lu Dangjia wants to work with?" ”

Lu Xu: "Just ...... There are three in the east city, three in the south city, and three in the west city. Northtown ...... If someone in Beicheng asks me to cooperate, I will talk about it. ”

When a few people heard this, they nodded again and again, they were still afraid that Lu Xu's personality was too axial, and he only cooperated with three companies in the capital.

As for Xicheng and Beicheng, those royal relatives and nobles don't come to Nancheng and Dongcheng very much, and the people and petty officials in Nancheng and Dongcheng don't go to Xicheng and Beicheng, Lu Xu is cooperating with restaurants in Quanbeicheng, and it doesn't affect their business.

The details of the contract documents, Yan Junqi can write down word for word, he writes the documents while Lu Xu writes the menu, just wait for the next day Lu Xu to go to their store to see the situation, make sure that they are the owners of the shop, and then go to the yamen together to sign and draw a copy for backup.

"After signing the paperwork tomorrow, I will go to your store to teach, and you will discuss which one is more convenient for me to go to."

"Then ...... Let's go to Boss Song first! ”

"Yes, Boss Song's shop has a big kitchen there, and it's close to here."

Boss Song of Chunshan Restaurant has no opinion, and he responded with a smile, his restaurant is in Dongcheng, and it is indeed the closest to Lu Xu.

After making an appointment, Yan Junqi handed over the copied documents to them to go back and see first, there was no problem, and they would go to the yamen together tomorrow to sign.

Sending them away, Lu Xu, Lu Zhou, and Yan Junqi closed the door and wondered who had leaked the recipe.

I don't know elsewhere, the people in the counties around Longxing are generally relatively simple, and they agreed to give Lu Xu a dividend of three percent, which may be deducted a little and give a little, anyway, Lu Xu will not check the accounts one by one, but they can't do it if they resell the recipe.

What's more, their Guanyang Alliance is now becoming more and more famous in Longxing and Shuozhou, and more and more people are joining, Lu Xu doesn't worry about it, and the people of the Guanyang Alliance will tell him if they find out.

After all, they had a document contract filed by the government, so Lu Xu caught it, and they were allowed to sue one by one.

The status of Daqi merchants was low, and ordinary merchants easily did not dare to provoke the yamen.

Yan Junqi said: "I think of a family." ”

Lu Xu: "Who?" ”
