Yang Zhi showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, this officer he knew, called Choujun Ma Xuanzan, it turned out to be a loyal and righteous man of the Flying Dragon Battalion of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, in the Spring Festival of one year, he won the competition with the archers of the Liao State, and was valued by Xiangzong, the king of Heyang County, and recruited as his son-in-law, because the county lord committed suicide on the wedding night, Xuanzan fell into an embarrassing situation from then on. Yang Zhi came back from Yangzhou, and Xuanzan had been transferred to the ordnance department, which was the boss of Yang Zhi's boss.

Xuanzan is eight feet tall, with dark skin, curly hair and red beard, and a pair of frightening eyes, Yang Zhi didn't care about it back then, but no matter how you look at it now, Xuanzan looks like a person from the Western Regions; ”

A servant came forward and said with a smile: "What the general said is that at first everyone thought that someone was asking for money, but who knew that there were big ingots of gold and silver in the shop and the inner house that had not moved, indicating that it was not a robber who made the shot; This is revenge, one of our brothers took ten taels of silver, who knows, who knows that the silver is poisonous, the brother died of poison immediately, we can only run out for help. ”

The official continued to speak, but he saw Xuanzan's face pale, and he hurriedly changed his words: "General Xuan, it's not that we are afraid of death, we are all rotten lives, but which family has no old and young, and we can't afford to die." We just want to go to the tofu shop to find a job, after all, some things are much better than our gang, and you know Boss Lu's background well, we are really embarrassed now. ”

Xuanzan didn't get angry, and scolded with a smile: "Of course I know that Boss Lu is Cao Qianli's uncle, and like me, he came to this ghost place to gild, waiting for the Ssangyong Society to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and lie down to get a credit." ”

Xuanzan dared to speak, several officials did not dare to listen, hugged their heads and ran towards Tofu Alley, Xuanzan drank energy, laughed, shook his head and walked in the direction where the officials came; Yang Zhi thought about it, and walked slowly into the hotel where Xuanzan came out. In front of the hotel, wine flags are displayed, green cloth raised by bamboo poles flutters in the wind, four large characters of dragons and phoenixes dancing on narrow plaques, regardless of the restaurant, and three spacious wooden houses, which look old, have a row of large wine tanks on the walkway leading to the backyard, and the wine tanks are covered with wooden boards.

There was only cold wine and cold dishes on the counter, boiled peanuts, dried beans, and braised chicken feet, and when he saw Yang Zhi come in and sit down, the guy sent over a pot of tea and three plates, each plate contained a cold dish, and it seemed that the wine had to be ordered separately. Yang Zhi asked curiously, "You don't sell hot dishes?"

The guy shook his head and said, "We sell hot food, but customers are not allowed to order, you see that the menu on the wall is not there, the same table, if you have the money, just order." ”

In the previous life, there were also restaurants that ordered soup and served dishes, three soups a day, what soup and what side dishes were ordered, and did not give customers the right to pick dishes; Yang Zhi looked up at the wall, there were two dishes, one was mushroom greens, and the other was braised carp, Yang Zhi ordered braised carp without thinking about it, and the guys all said that it was the same table, and the big deal was a table of banquets, and a table of braised carp was a little more expensive. The guy was stunned and asked, "Are you waiting for someone, this table of twelve taels of silver?"

"I'm alone, don't worry, I have money. Yang Zhi smiled, took out two ingots and ten taels of silver, the guy looked at Yang Zhi, didn't squeak again, went in directly to shout the food, and didn't start serving the dish after a while, Yang Zhi watched the dishes come up like flowing water, and listened to the menu reported by the guy, only to know that this table has eight cold dishes, eight stir-fried dishes, six main dishes, plus a pot of pig-killing soup and a basket of vegetable buns.

The dishes are genuine, the six main dishes are pigs, sheep, deer, donkeys, fish and chickens, the most important thing is that the portions are sufficient, all of them are a sea bowl; The guy admired and asked casually: "Guest officer, how do you feel about our dishes?"

Yang Zhi had a good time eating it for so many days, and on a whim, he commented according to the vision of later generations: "Since there is mutton in the dish, don't serve tea, it is easy to cause constipation; take braised pork as a dish on the banquet, the pork belly must be carefully selected, and the good rib meat can be sandwiched with nearly ten layers, and almost have to be sandwiched with four or five layers; stewed venison should use some spices and seasonings with strong flavor to get rid of the fishy smell of venison, and venison is stewed a little longer than beef, so it is best to stew it in advance and put it in the back kitchen." ”

The guy was taken aback: "Guest officer, you are really good at eating, I'll talk to the shopkeeper later." ”

Yang Zhi smiled slightly, waved his hand to the guy, handed over the two ingots of silver, the guy went directly to the counter, and the shopkeeper walked over with a silver ingot and returned it to Yang Zhi and said: "Guest officer, you haven't drunk, ten taels of silver is enough, but you can help me talk about the braised carp and steamed chicken, and what else needs to be changed." ”

The shopkeeper is a person with a very poisonous eye, and he saw that Yang Zhi was very satisfied with the donkey meat when he saw the process of eating vegetables before, so he simply missed it and didn't ask, Yang Zhi put away the silver and stood up and said: "I know a method, you can first remove the scales, gills, and fins of the fish, and then disembowel to remove the internal organs, rinse and drain the water, soak and marinate it with salt and rice wine for a while, and add some fat slices." Steamed chicken can add some lard fat, and the lotus leaves are steamed on the outer bread, which has more aroma of lotus leaves, and it is oily but not greasy after steaming. ”

The shopkeeper is an expert, and he figured out the key to it in his mind, and asked politely: "Is the guest officer free tomorrow, come and try these two methods?"

Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "One table of food, occasionally to have fun, if you do this every day, you are overeating, the shopkeeper, you are also an expert, you should believe in yourself." ”

The shopkeeper laughed and sent Yang Zhi out of the hotel, at this moment there was already a lot of discussion on the street, all talking about two murders and a bitter fight outside the city, Cao Wanchu and Wei Baoyue were both depicted as demons calling the wind and rain; Yang Zhi was amused, and suddenly heard a small voice in the crowd: "Cao Wanchu turned out to be a member of the Cao family in Bianliang, I don't know how Cao Qianli explained to the heroes of the world." ”

"What does he want to confess?" The other voice was hoarse after all: "You didn't see the person who appeared holding the letter from the Cao family, saying that he had been following Cao Wanchu for so many years to ensure that Cao Wanchu had not done anything bad." Fortunately, that person was reasonable, and asked Wei Baoyue to send the Heavenly Demon Sword to the Imperial Boxing Gym before making a decision. Xiang Chong, what kind of person do you say this walker Wu Song is, it seems that Master Wen and they are very scrupulous, Cao Wanchu also listened to him, and a storm passed like this. ”
