The owners behind Taibai Tower are actually three of the most prominent relatives of the Ming Dynasty.
Hou Yong looked at the bustling night scene outside the window, with a sneer on his face, "Let me just say, how can ordinary people dare to create such a big scene in the capital?" Then he said again, "I'm afraid this Taibai Tower is not just a restaurant.
Simple, right?”
Yang Jing smiled, drank tea, and gave a nut to his mouth, "Jing, you really guessed wrong, this Taibai Tower is really a restaurant!" He said, laughing, "What are you talking about for sheltering prostitutes?"
Bet, this Taibai Tower really doesn’t have anything to do with welcoming guests!”
"That's true!" Hou Yong thought about it, "After all, the queen's mother-in-law also has stocks, so there are too many things to worry about!" He said, paused, "But without these, when can we get our money back just by eating and drinking?
Son?"
"It's not for making money at all!" Yang Jing smiled and filled the tea, "Strictly speaking, this Taibai Building was opened by Cao Guogong and Zheng Guogong with Marquis Chengen, giving him multiple income-generating properties for Marquis Chengen's family.
!”
After hearing this, Hou Yong became even more puzzled, and only listened to Yang Jing continue, "Chengenhou is the first relative of the current dynasty, but he is not from a noble family in Huaixi. He was just a minor official in Yingtian Mansion before, and his family has no wealth at all.
.Unlike those old military leaders, the money they robbed was piled up like a mountain, and they would never be able to squander it all in their lifetimes."
"Nowadays, as a relative, there are many exchanges of favors, and the family needs to be grand. The Queen's natal family cannot be looked down upon, so over time, it will naturally become difficult to make ends meet."
"After the emperor heard about it, he even specially rewarded it twice. But when the censors found out, they immediately took off their official hats and remonstrated at the court. After the court, they even got together to block the sedan chair of Marquis Chengen, frightening him.
Dechenenhou jumped over the wall and went home!"
Hou Yong listened silently and snorted, "Your Majesty did something wrong in this matter. If you want to help the Queen's natal family, you can just reward the farm. You also need to reward money and silk. If the Hou family gets used to it, they will still give it in the future."
No? Besides, the Prince of the East Palace is getting older, and it is not a good thing to have such a maternal clan!"
Yang Jing smiled and continued, "Because of this matter, Cao Guogong and Li Jinglong took Zheng Guogong and pulled Chengenhou to buy the Taibai Building. They said that three families would invest in it. In fact, the Li and Chang families didn't use how much money the Zhao family got.
, the monthly income is also sent to the Zhao Mansion."
Hou Yong's eyes were filled with anger, "Oh, what a big gesture! These cornucopias are not rare. I don't know whether I should say they are generous or they are calculating!"
Hou Yong said the word "calculation" very seriously. Although Zheng Guogong is the emperor's maternal family, and Cao Guogong is the emperor's cousin, it is said that one emperor and one courtier. The prince of the East Palace has established the eldest son of the queen, and the Chang family is also good.
The Li family, too, is investing in the future.
"A cornucopia?" Yang Jing patted the chopped nuts on his hands and said with a smile, "What kind of cornucopia is this to Duke Zheng and Cao Guogong and other distinguished nobles? I'm afraid it's just a piece of broken silver, and they won't look down on it at all!"
Suddenly, Hou Yong seemed to understand something. Ever since he entered the Taibai Building, his thoughts had been led by Yang Jing, and the focus had always been on these nobles.
After looking at Yang Jing for a few times, he smiled and said, "Okay, brother Zhong Ning, you and I are best friends, you and I will do this!" After saying that, he paused and continued, "I'm afraid this meal is not just a meal.
It's so simple, you are deliberately leading me to what you want to say!"
"You know who I am!" Yang Jing laughed, but just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from outside.
"Executive member Yang, do you want to serve the food?"
"Well, come up!" Yang Jing ordered, and then said to Hou Yong, "Eat first, and talk while eating!"
After the words fell, several slim girls came in lightly wrapped in plain gauze, holding various porcelains in their white palms.
The girl's steps are elegant, and the steps of several people have the same rhythm. The steps are larger and smaller on one side, and the swaying posture is like a willow when walking. Under the gauze, half of the white arms are exposed, as round and white as a green onion.
Their hands were holding pure white porcelain. Unlike other white porcelain, the surface of these porcelain seemed to have a soft luster, like ancient jade.
First, a steamer was placed on the table.
Then, with delicate hands, she opened the cover, and white smoke suddenly filled the air. Before she could see what was inside, her nose was filled with an alluring fragrance.
"Wine-stewed anchovies!" When the beauty with plain hands whispered, the smoke dispersed, revealing the true appearance of the delicacy, which was a steamed fish.
"Brother Jing is in a good mood today!" Yang Jing said with a smile, "The anchovies that have just come out of the water from Shazhou (Zhangjiagang) are delivered to Yingtianfu by speedboat. They are absolutely fresh. The scales are not removed when the fish is steamed. The scales of this kind of fish are white and tender in the mouth and have a unique taste.
Remove the internal organs, add lard, and steam the good ham over high heat for a moment!" He said with a smile, "Although this dish is simple, the ingredients are the most exquisite."
(This dish is a dish served at the state banquet to entertain Jin Rig)
Hou Yong'er listened with no expression on his face and said, "Anchovies are originally enshrined in the palace. After I ascended the throne, I issued an edict saying that fishermen have a hard time fishing, and the effort of transporting these supplies outweighs the gains. As a king, you should do this
Taking the people of the world and the country as our own responsibility, we must not be greedy for food and drink. We strictly order all places around the Yangtze River not to offer this fish anymore!" At this point, he sneered and said, "I can't believe that the emperor said he wouldn't eat it, but the people down here actually did it.
The food is even more exquisite than what the emperor used to eat!"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "The world is like this, what can we do?" Then he pointed to another dish and said with a smile, "This is honey saury. The saury has its gills removed and is marinated in honey sauce. It is roasted over low heat until golden and the taste is great.
Savory!"
Then, he pointed to a disk with fish fillets as thin as cicadas and said with a smile, "This is a puffer fish for two. You see, this transparent fish fillet is the fish breast. It is plump and delicious and melts in your mouth! The other is fried puffer fish. This is
The three kinds of fish have a nickname, they are known as the three delicacies of the Yangtze River..."
"Zhong Ning!" Hou Yong suddenly interrupted Yang Jing, "You know I never care about food!" As he said that, he looked at the exquisite food on the table and said slowly, "The rich eat at the table and the poor sweat.
If preserved fruit is not available, how can you know how fresh it is in the world?"
Yang Jing put down his chopsticks, "Hey, what a disappointment!"
Hou Yong sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't want to spoil the fun. If you have personally seen the victims after the disaster and the suffering of the people in the north, I think you will be as emotional as me!"
As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pufferfish, dipped it in some brightly colored soy sauce, and said with a smile, "Fresh? I didn't taste it at all! In my opinion, these so-called freshness are far inferior to a bowl of pig."
The fried rice is really good!”
Yang Jing knew his friend's temperament, so he was not annoyed. He smiled and ordered, "You all go down and ask the chef to bring you a bowl of lard mixed with rice!"
The lady serving the food next to her was a little embarrassed, "Exceptor Yang, is there any lard mixed with rice..."
Yang Jingzheng said, "I told you, you can have it!"
The beautiful woman said hurriedly, "Yes, I will prepare it for you right now!"
Hou Yong also said, "A plate of pickled radish!"
The beauty was even more embarrassed, "Commissioner, we really don't have any pickles!"
"I didn't buy it!" Yang Jing said displeasedly, "Hurry!"
"Yes, yes!" The beautiful lady agreed quickly and led the others out.
Yang Jing looked at Hou Yong and suddenly smiled bitterly, "I shouldn't have brought you here. You might as well find a small restaurant and make stewed meat pancakes rolled with green onions!"
"If you don't bring me here, you won't be able to elicit what you want to say?" Hou Yong smiled, "Just now, when you mentioned the powerful people in Beijing, it was definitely not without purpose. Just say what you want to say!"
As he spoke, he suddenly put his head in, "But you are dissatisfied with these three relatives and want me to come forward to impeach them?"
