Liuquanju Restaurant was founded in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, and the tavern is located in the east of Xikou Road of Huguo Temple, which is a famous yellow tavern in Beijing. At that time, the rice taverns in Beijing were divided into four types: Shaoxing rice wine, Beijing rice wine, Shandong rice wine, and Shanxi rice wine, and it was Beijing rice wine that Liuquanju sold. Liuquanju was funded by Shandong people, and there is a three-room shop in front of the store and a wide courtyard in the back. According to historical records, there was a huge willow tree in this courtyard in those years, there was a spring well under the tree, the well water was clear and sweet, the shopkeeper was using this clear spring water to make rice wine, the taste was mellow, the wine fragrance was overflowing, and it was called "Yuquan fine wine" by the diners. In addition to selling rice wine, Liuquanju is also very distinctive, "Bad News Manzhi" records that "the old capital hotel is the most famous in 'Liuquanju', the color is beautiful and mellow, if you go to the hotel, there are dishes such as bad fish, pine flowers, drunken crabs, jerky, vegetables, dried wine and fresh fruits." In the early years, Liuquanju Restaurant did not have a store name, and it is said that the three words "Liuquanju" were the down-and-out work of Yan Song, the traitor of the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Sejong favored Yan Song and once said: "There is no sword in the world to kill him or cut him off." "After Ming Muzong succeeded to the throne, he was determined to get rid of him. But because the emperor had spoken first, he couldn't take his life, so he had to remove Yan Song from his official position, confiscate his family property, and only leave a silver bowl for Yan Song, so that this traitor could make a living by begging. The people of Beijing hate Yan Song, and no one is willing to help him. One day, Yan Song, who was hungry and thirsty, came to the door of this tavern and smelled the rich aroma of wine, Yan Song could no longer walk, so he begged the owner to give him wine. The shopkeeper saw this silver rice bowl, and knew that he was Yan Song, and he had already heard that Yan Song wrote well, so he took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and said: "You can give you wine to drink, you have to inscribe a few words on this small shop for me." Yan Song thought for a while and inscribed the words 'Willow Spring Residence'. Not long after, Yan Song starved to death on the streets, and 'Liu Quanju' became a masterpiece, and the small shop became famous in the capital.

Gao Jie and Wei Zhongxian walked side by side on the streets of Beijing's inner city, listening to him tell interesting stories about this Liuquanju restaurant as they walked, and before they knew it, they had reached their destination.

Because Wei Zhongxian would change into civilian clothes when he left the palace, their group was not eye-catching, but Xiao Er, who was quite discerning, still led them directly to the VIP room on the second floor.

This meal was the most sumptuous and delicious meal Gao Jie had since he arrived in the Ming Dynasty. When he was in Mizhi, he once went to a restaurant in the county with Li Hongji's father, and also went to a restaurant in Puzhou with Yu Hongzhi, Ji Longfeng and others, but when it comes to the taste of wine and food, there is really no one who can compare to this Liuquanju. When the Emperor of the Apocalypse set up a banquet, those so-called palace imperial meals were really more beautiful than delicious, and perhaps the main reason was that the dishes were basically cold when they were served, and the taste was really not flattering.

Before Wei Liangyue came, he said that he wanted to slaughter Gao Jie, but when it was time to order, he didn't take action, just ordered two light and delicious side dishes, Gao Jie knew that this little girl had a hard mouth and a soft heart, so he called out to Xiao Er: "Count all the most famous dishes in your restaurant, make up ten dishes, and make it perfect!"

Xiao Er's face was a little unhappy because Wei Liangyue only ordered two side dishes, but suddenly he was moved again, his face was full of light, and he agreed in a loud voice, and went downstairs to cloth vegetables happily.

After Xiao Er left, Wei Liangyue glanced at Gao Jie and said, "Do you know how expensive the dishes here are? !

Gao Jie laughed and said: "Xiaoyue, don't worry, I really don't have the money to pay the bill, so I will stay in the store as a hostage, it's a big deal to wash his dishes for ten days and a half, and I also want to ensure that my sister eats and drinks well!"

When Xiao Yue heard this, she wanted to laugh and was anxious, pouting and muttering: "I'm not so particular, just eat some side dishes! Besides, you are a dignified loyal and brave marquis, reduced to washing dishes in a restaurant to pay off debts, is it very beautiful?!"

Seeing Gao Jie's words, Wei Zhongxian and Wei Liangqing couldn't help laughing.

Ji Longfeng's mind was full of food, but he didn't hear what Wei Liangyue said, Wukong didn't understand it, and he also looked at everyone with a blank face, not knowing what they were laughing at.

Because Gao Jie is a high roller, the food is served very quickly, and soon the whole table is full of food. Gao Jie personally poured rice wine for Wei Zhongxian and Wei Liangqing, and then said sincerely: "When Xiaojie first came to the capital, he was fortunate to get acquainted with Uncle Wei, Brother Wei and Sister Xiaoyue, thanks to your care in the past few days, Xiaojie is grateful, this cup of rice wine will talk about gratitude!"

Ji Longfeng pulled Wukong to stand up and toasted with Gao Jie.

Wei Zhongxian was not hypocritical, and drank the rice wine with his nephews and nieces, and then he said: "If you want to say thank you, the old man wants to thank Xiaojie for you!"

Seeing that Gao Jie was puzzled, Wei Zhongxian continued: "Liangqing and Yue'er have only been in the capital for a year, and because of the old man, although many of the children of the official family dare not bully them, they all stay away and disdain to be friends with them, which makes the old man always haunted. Xiaojie, you three young junjie, have a bright future, but you are willing to deign to be friends with them and treat each other sincerely, and the old man is grateful!"

When Gao Jie heard this, he was at a loss, and said in a loud voice: "What did Uncle Wei say?!" The three of us boys were ashamed, but we really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into! Friends don't care about fame and fortune, what is more important is in the heart, and what is more important is sincerity! Let's stop complimenting each other, anyway, the first time I met Brother Wei and Xiaoyue, I had a feeling of hating each other and smelling like each other, this is fate!"

Wei Liangyue was moved when she heard this, but she snorted and said, "Who smells like you!" After saying that, she raised her slender jade hand and fanned it slightly between her noses, as if Gao Jie and the others really smelled, causing everyone to laugh again.

Because of Gao Jie's jokes, there was constant laughter at the dinner table, and the meal was very joyful. During the banquet, Gao Jie left the private room under the pretext of going to Xiaojie, and went to the corridor outside.

Because of his ears, Gao Jie heard some quarrels downstairs just now, and the protagonist was the person he was interested in, so he made an excuse to come out and take a look.

Liuquanju integrates the essence of the three major cuisines of the palace, Shandong and halal, and is good at grilling, exploding, stir-frying and simmering, and the famous dishes are golden cup chicken, anchovy white fungus, and exquisite abalone. It also serves popular meals. Whether it is a "big customer" with a lot of money or a diner from a small household, you can swagger into the door of Liuquanju, be warmly welcomed by the guys, drink the rich rice wine in the cellar, eat delicious and reasonably priced meals, and the first floor is a place for ordinary people to eat.

A few richly dressed children who were about to go upstairs sneered at two ordinary-dressed people on the first floor, causing many diners in the hall to look lively. Gao Jie frowned slightly, because he recognized the two people led by the rich children at a glance, the tall one with a slightly pale face was Liu Xuanze, and the chubby green-robed young man was Ye Guyan. These two people are simply the representatives of the gentlemen in the capital, who have nothing to do all day long, and it seems that they always have to toss some movement in order to show their superior status.

At this moment, Liu Xuan sniffed the snuffbox and sneered: "Wasn't you quite arrogant before? Why don't you disdain to be with us people, why are you down like a dog now? If it weren't for Ye Shao's sharp eyes, I really didn't expect you to mingle in the smoky miasma on this floor to eat steamed buns and drink gruel!"

Ye Guyan said with a smile: "If I hadn't sneezed and tilted my head, I wouldn't have found Mr. Xiong! Are the steamed buns delicious? Do you want to go up with a few brothers, at least you can mix some leftovers, at least it's better than gruel steamed buns!"

And Ye Guyan called "Xiong Gongzi" is a young man dressed in white, with a well-proportioned figure, who looks not tall, but has a pair of long arms, quite the characteristics of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande of the Three Kingdoms "hands over knees", and it is also quite eye-catching among many diners. He didn't seem to hear the ridicule of Ye Guyan and the others, he just buried his head and continued to drink porridge silently. And a big man sitting opposite him couldn't bear it, and stood up suddenly, only to see that he was nearly two meters tall, wearing a small shoulder, and the exposed shoulders and arm muscles were knotted, looking rough and majestic, like an angry black bear, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Although Ye Guyan is not small, this guy is very inward-looking, and his courage is not fat, and when he saw a fierce man like an iron tower glaring at them viciously, he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, hiding behind Liu Xuanze, and did not dare to squeak. Liu Xuan was also a little weak-hearted, but pretended to be calm and shouted: "What are you, dare to look at this son like this?!"

The young man in white, known as "Master Xiong", pressed down on the big man opposite, shook his head at him, and signaled not to cause trouble. The big man leopard's eyes widened angrily, and he held back for a long time before he sat back unwillingly, and when he saw his chest rising and falling violently, he knew that his anger was unquenchable.

Seeing that the big man was drunk back by himself, Liu Xuan was even more proud, sniffed the snuffbox again, sneezed, and said lazily: "It's good to know the current affairs, don't think of yourself as the son of Liaodong Jinglu, now your father is just a death row prisoner, and you, if this son is willing, will make you worse than your father at any time!"

When the white-clothed young man heard this, his body trembled slightly, and he turned around after a while, and forced a humble smile on his sallow face, and said in a low voice: "Liu Gongzi, Ye Gongzi, and other noble brothers, untouchable Xiong Zhaoqi I don't know how many people came back here, disturbing your Yaxing, I know that I was wrong, and I will leave and disappear now!"

When the tower-like man heard this, he hurriedly said, "Childe......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Zhaoqi stretched out his hand to stop him, got up and said to Xiao Er, who was watching the excitement: "Trouble little second brother, help pack these remaining baked steamed buns for us and take them away!"

Before Xiao Er could respond, Liu Xuan sneered, "Who agrees with you leaving?!"

When Xiong Zhaoqi heard this, he bowed to Liu Xuanze and his party, and said in a low voice: "Sons, just let us two go!"

Liu Xuan turned his head and smiled at Ye Guyan, who had already stood up from behind him, and said: "Guyan, this Xiong Gongzi has a sincere attitude, I feel pitiful, I think it's better not to embarrass him!"

Ye Guyan laughed and said, "You are the boss, you have the final say!"

Liu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xiong Zhaoqi: "Okay, I won't play with you today, but a few of our brothers go up to eat, and we need to serve tea and pour water, how about it, you can still do this little thing!"

Ye Guyan heard this, and immediately clapped his hands together and laughed: "Boss, good idea, just do it!"

The tower-like man was stunned, and the muscles in his arms were shaking, but he was forced to endure humiliation because of Xiong Zhaojue's words, and his skin was flushed.

Xiong Zhaoqi seemed to be introverted and didn't want to cause trouble, so he was about to nod his head and agree, but he heard a young voice upstairs say: "Brother Zhaoqi, why did you come, everyone is waiting for you to enter the table!"
