Chapter 129: Ji Chang's Question
After Yin Shou succeeded to the throne, the court entered the adjustment for a period of time, and he was used to it, Xibohou Ji Chang is still in the house of Chaoge, he took out those turtle plates again and began to calculate, looking at the hexagram just calculated, Ji Chang's face was full of bitterness, "Strange and strange, my Fuxi gossip has been studied since I can remember, and there has never been a mistake in the calculation, but why is this hexagram like this? Originally, I thought that the first emperor had some special means to prevent our four princes from making trouble, but I didn't see any action?"
After thinking for a while, Ji Chang still couldn't think of it, so he picked up the turtle board again and began to calculate, once, twice, three times, and went through a total of nine calculations over and over again, Ji Chang knew that it could not be calculated anymore, nine was the extreme number, and then ninety-nine was one, and the number of calculations of a thing could not exceed nine times, otherwise it might be counterattacked by heaven. At this time, the servant came in and said, "It's time for Hou Ye to eat, I don't know what Hou Ye wants to eat, so let them do it." ”
Ji Chang is now worried about the matter of the hexagram, where he can still take care of the matter of eating, his big hand slapped on the table, and shouted: "Such a trivial matter, why bother to ask me!" The turtle board placed on the table was knocked to the ground by him, the servant was shocked, and quickly knelt down, he followed Ji Chang for some time, but he had never seen Ji Chang make such a big fire.
Looking at the kneeling servant, Ji Chang knew that he was a rare faux pas, and his heart couldn't calm down at all now, so he decided to simply go out for a walk and take a break, so he said: "Okay! Let the people below not do it, I went out to eat this time, and I can just see the changes in Yin Capital over the years." "If Xibohou has something to say, he naturally has to do what he says.
Ji Chang and several generals walked in Yindu, Ji Chang secretly sighed at the prosperity of the capital, not to mention the shops on the street, just the flow of people is not comparable to Xiqi, and it can also be seen from the clothes of these civilians that the economy of Yindu is also higher than that of Xiqi. After all, he didn't come to inquire about the news, it seems that the topic will start after a while, they came out to eat, and the scene can be eaten as a meal, right?
In order to find a restaurant, Ji Chang searched for half an hour and didn't find it, although Ji Chang is usually very gentle, but don't forget that he is a senior "fortune teller", professional habits are naturally brought to life, usually the design of his mansion must conform to the five elements of gossip, now even if he comes out to eat, the restaurant he is looking for must be a good place, like those places with a little bad spirit, Ji Chang has not gone anywhere at all.
After looking for half an hour, Ji Chang stopped in front of a restaurant, and the generals were also happy, and after wandering for a long time, they finally had something to eat, and one of the generals bowed down and said, "Is Master Hou going to eat here?" After listening to this, Ji Chang frowned and said: "Okay! ”
Walking into this store, Ji Chang found that there were surprisingly many customers in this store, more than half of the people he saw outside, and the furnishings of this store implied the way of feng shui, some of which he couldn't see even by himself. While he was observing, a white-haired middle-aged man walked up and asked, "If you want to eat something, we have everything here, even if it is something under the sea." ”
Ji Chang smiled and said: "It seems that you are the owner of this shop, and you are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say such a big thing? If I want to eat the ichthyosaur of the East China Sea, can you do it?" Ji Chang made a small joke, the ichthyosaurus is a kind of fish in the depths of the East China Sea, because the cry is a bit like the dragon in the sea, so it is named, this fish has lived at the bottom of the sea for a long time, the meat is delicious, ordinary fishermen can not catch it at all, usually only the princes can eat.
The boss smiled and said, "Unfortunately, the store received this kind of fish and dragon yesterday, and if the guest officer wants to eat it, I will immediately order others to make it." This made Ji Chang a little surprised, and then said: "It seems that the boss's business is not small? Then let's make one! ”
Although there are a lot of people in the store, but the speed of serving the food is very fast, maybe it is to see that the identity of the person at this table is not small, this dish is still served by the boss himself, when the fish dragon is served, Ji Chang picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, slowly tasted it, and said: "Although it is a little worse than the taste in the Hou Mansion, it is rare to be able to do this." "The boss only guessed that their origin was extraordinary, because these people were very particular when they sit, and the middle-aged man sat down after the accompanying people sat down, and their clothes were not worn by civilians, now listening to what this person said, they are very likely to be from the Hou Mansion, maybe they are still a great character!
After Ji Chang started eating, he opened his mouth, and the boss kept serving, after the dish was served, Ji Chang smiled and said: "Boss, I see that your store is located on the street, it should have been a door, but now it is a prosperous business, I don't know what the reason is, can you tell one or two?"
The boss's expression was a little hesitant, thinking that he didn't want to say this, although there was no such thing as a trade secret at this time, but he also had a certain awareness, but the person at this table obviously couldn't afford to offend, and he could see the problem of his own store, he was now in a dilemma. At this time, a guy came to the boss's side and said, "Boss, the fish dragon you made is ready." He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ji Changji: "I'm really sorry, I still have a little matter, and I'll come back as soon as I'm done." After speaking, he went into the kitchen and came out with some food, and the most conspicuous thing was the fish dragon, which could be seen to be better than Ji Chang's table.
Seeing this situation, some generals angrily touched the sword on their waists, Ji Chang glared at them and asked them to put it away, but the boss didn't notice this action, he walked out with the food, and came back with a few empty cutlery after a while.
When he came to Ji Chang's table again, a general couldn't help but speak, "Shopkeeper, your fish and dragon just now is better than my Hou Ye's! What do you mean by this?" I'm Xibo Hou Jichang, you don't have to be afraid, you just need to explain clearly, I won't embarrass you. ”
