Chapter 62 I'm starting to hate myself (1)

The boss behind Taibailou is actually the three most prominent relatives of the Ming Dynasty.

Hou Yong looked at the bustling night view outside the window, and a sneer appeared on his face, "I'm just saying, how dare ordinary people make such a big scene in the capital?" As he said that, he said again, "I'm afraid this Taibai Building is not just a restaurant, right?"

Yang Jing smiled and drank a sip of tea and gave the kernels the entrance. "You guessed wrong in the scenery. This Taibai Building is really a restaurant!" As he said, he laughed, "What are you talking about to take on prostitution and gambling? Welcoming the delivery, there is really nothing in this Taibai Building!"

"That's true!" Hou Yong thought, "After all, the queen's family also has shares, so there are too many places to worry about!" As he said, he paused, "But if there were no such things, just by eating and drinking, when can we make a profit?"

"It's not for making money at all!" Yang Jing smiled and tea, "Strictly speaking, this Taibailou is the two Duke Cao and Duke Zheng, who took Chengen Hou to open it and gave him multiple investments in the family of Chengen Hou!"

Hou Yong was even more puzzled when he heard this. He only heard Yang Jing continue, "Horse Cheng'en is the first foreign relative of the dynasty now. However, he was not from a nobleman in Huaixi. He used to be a small official in Yingtian Prefecture, and he had no family fortune at all. Unlike those old soldiers, the money he stolen back then was piled up like a mountain, and he could not spend all his money in his lifetime."

"Now, being a relative of the foreigners, there are too many things to do with human relationships, so the family also needs to show off. Is the queen's family? It cannot be underestimated, so over time, it will naturally be unable to make ends meet."

"After hearing about it, the emperor gave it a special reward twice. But the censors found out, and directly took off his official hat and refused to give advice at the grand court meeting. After going to court, he even brought gangs to block the sedan chair of Chengenhou, which scared Chengenhou so much that he jumped over the wall and went home!"

Hou Yong listened silently and snorted, "The emperor has done something wrong. If you want to help the queen's family, don't you just need to reward the fields and villages, but you also have to give them money and silk. If Chengen Hou's family is used to being used to it, will it be better to give it to you in the future? Besides, the prince of the Eastern Palace is growing older, and having such a mother tribe is not a good thing!"

Yang Jing smiled and continued, "Because of this, Duke Cao Li Jinglong took Duke Zheng and pulled Chengen Hou to buy this Taibai Building. He said that the three companies had invested in it. In fact, the two Li and Chang families did not use much money for the Zhao family, and the monthly income was also sent to the Zhao Mansion."

Hou Yong's eyes were filled with anger, "Ha, what a big deal! Such treasure pots are not rare. I don't know if they should be said to be generous or they will plot!"

Hou Yong said the word "calculation" very seriously. Although Duke Zheng was the emperor's mother family and Duke Cao was the emperor's cousin, it was said that the emperor was the emperor's minister. The crown prince of the Eastern Palace had already established the eldest son of the empress, whether it was the Chang family or the Li family, this was to invest in the future.

"Treasure pot?" Yang Jing patted the broken nuts on his hand and smiled, "For the nobles of Zheng Guogong Cao Guogong, what kind of treasure pot is this? I'm afraid it's just a piece of silver, and they don't look down on it at all!"

Suddenly, Hou Yong seemed to understand something. His thinking was always taken by Yang Jing since he entered this Taibai Building, and the focus has been on these nobles.

He looked at Yang Jing a few times and smiled, "Okay, Brother Zhongning, you and I are the best friends, you and I will do this!" As he said that, he paused and continued, "This meal is not just about eating. You deliberately brought me to what you want to say!"

"I know me in the scenery!" Yang Jing laughed loudly, but footsteps came from outside just as he was about to speak.

"Mr. Yang, can you serve the food?"

"Well, come up!" Yang Jing ordered and said to Hou Yong again, "Eat first, and say while eating!"

As he finished speaking, several graceful girls came in with plain veils and white palms holding various porcelains.

The girl's steps are elegant and elegant. The steps of several people are the same rhythm. The steps are big and the swaying posture is like a willow when walking. Under the gauze, half of her fair arms are exposed, as round and white as a green onion.

They all hold pure white porcelain in their hands. Unlike other white porcelains, the surface of these porcelains seems to have a soft luster, which is like ancient jade.

First, a steamer was placed on the table.

Then, the slim hand lifted the cover and white smoke filled the air. Before she could see clearly what was inside, the nasal cavity was filled with tempting fragrance.

"Wine-made anchovies!" When the beautiful lady with her hands whispered, the smoke dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the delicacy. It was a steamed fish.

"Brother Jingzhong has a good taste today!" Yang Jing smiled, "The saury crane that had just come out of the water from Shazhou (Zhangjiagang) was sent to Yingtian Mansion, and it is absolutely fresh. When steaming the fish scales, the fish scales are not removed. The fish scales are white and tender. The fish scales are unique. Take dry the internal organs, put lard, and steam the fine ham for a moment!" As he said, he smiled, "Although this dish is simple, the ingredients are the most exquisite."

(This dish is the dish that entertains Jin Richeng in the state banquet)

Hou Yong listened in his ears, expressionless, and said in his mouth, "The fish was originally worshipped by the palace. Now, after ascending the throne, he issued an edict saying that fishermen have worked hard to fish, and the transportation of consumables is not worth the effort. For the king, he should take the people of the world as his responsibility, and he must not be greedy for the people and the country. He must not give up the fish. He strictly ordered all parts of the Yangtze River to offer this fish again!" He said, "I didn't expect that the emperor said he would not eat it anymore. The people below him actually ate more refined than the emperor's food at the beginning!"

Yang Jing smiled, "What's the way in Shifeng?" As he said that, he pointed to another dish and smiled, "This is honey-sauce knife fish. Remove the gills of the knife fish and marinate them in honey sauce. Roast them over low heat until golden brown, and the taste is salty and fragrant!"

Then, pointing to a disk, the fish fillet as thin as a cicada gauze and smiled, "This is a pufferfish. Look, the transparent fish fillet is fish sashimi, which is plump and delicious, and melts at the mouth! In addition, the fried pufferfish. These three types of fish have an elegant name, known as the Three Fresh Yangtze River..."

"Zhongning!" Hou Yong suddenly interrupted Yang Jing, "You know I have never cared about food!" As he said, looking at the exquisite food on the table, he slowly said, "The food on the table of the powerful is full of sweat. Candied fruit is not enough, how can you know the freshness of the world!"

Yang Jing put down his chopsticks and said, "Oh, it's a disappointment!"

Hou Yong sighed and shook his head, "It's not that I want to disappoint you. If you have seen the victims after the disaster and the sufferings of the people in the north with your own eyes, I think you will be as emotional as me!"

As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pufferfish and dipped it in some brightly colored soy sauce, and smiled, "Fresh? I didn't taste anything! In my opinion, these so-called freshness are far less realistic than a bowl of lard bibimbap!"

Yang Jing knew the friend's temperament and was not annoyed. He smiled and told someone, "You all go down and let the kitchen bring a bowl of lard bibimbap!"

The beauty serving the dishes next to her was a little embarrassed, "Yang Yuanwai, there is no lard bibimbap..."

Yang Jing said righteously, "I said it, you can have it!"

The beauty hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll prepare it for you!"

Hou Yong also spoke, "Give me a plate of pickled radish!"

The beauty was even more embarrassed, "This is the one who doesn't have pickles!"

"I didn't buy it!" Yang Jing said unhappily, "Hurry!"

"Yes, yes!" The beauty quickly agreed and took the people out.

Yang Jing looked at Hou Yong and suddenly smiled bitterly, "I shouldn't have brought you here. It's better to find a small restaurant to stew meat pancakes and roll green onions!"

"If you don't bring me here, what you want to say will not be able to be drawn out?" Hou Yong smiled, "You just talked about the powerful people in the capital, and you must be aimless. Just say whatever you want to say!"
