Jingcheng·Tianyuan Tea House.

Young Master Duan's name is Duan Hongye. He is a chess player like his father, but his chess skills are completely different. Duan Laohu likes to play chess, but he has a strong will to win. He can win but not lose. The key is that although he has played for decades, he is still a chess player.

He is a bad chess player, so playing chess with him has become a chore. If you want him to win, you must not let him show off.

Over time, the old Duan thought that he had defeated all the invincible players in the world. As a result, he once played chess with his son, and Duan was killed without mercy. He angrily scolded his son. The younger Duan did not take it seriously and played chess.

Well, winning is winning, losing is losing, what are you doing with those frivolous things? It’s a filial piety.

Jin Yanxi decided to get acquainted with Duan Hongye after careful consideration. Mr. Duan was a serious eldest son. Although he indulged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, these problems did not seem to be a problem in this era. The key point was that his father was more particular and had no choice in history.

After leaving the field, he remained unmoved in the face of Fusang's attempts to woo him.

The two people Jin Yanxi admired most among the heroes in his previous life were Duan Huhu and Wu Xiucai. Jin Yanxi's father, Jin Quan, was in the Anhui clique. In the future, the Zhili clique would take away the leadership of Beiyang from the Anhui clique.

The family just took advantage of the trend and moved to the south.

Duan Hongye does five things every day, eating, drinking, going to restaurants, making money and playing chess. Such a person naturally likes to make all kinds of friends, so he is favored by people from all walks of life. When he goes home at night, he can go directly to Tianting.

Nature is an excellent help.

Although Jin Yanxi and Duan Hongye belong to the same Anhui clan, they still need to plan well if they want to have a deep relationship. The best place to start is undoubtedly chess. Although Duan Hongye is not weak in chess, he still cannot see enough of Tetsuji in the face of a set that is a hundred years ahead of its time.

What's more, some Go formulas of later generations have been improved and perfected through the changes of the times.

In order to show off in the Children's Palace in her previous life, Jin Yanxi consulted teachers who were proficient in Go and Xiangqi. As expected, after a game of chess, Young Master Duan was stunned. There is such a strong person!

It should be said that Duan Hongye is definitely not an ignorant frog in the well. His family background allows him to satisfy his hobbies to the greatest extent. He has seen many Go masters and even self-proclaimed masters. Even the famous Wu Qingyuan has given him guidance.

He has never felt as powerless as he does today!

Duan Hongye gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yanxi, I'm willing to give in."

Jin Yanxi said modestly: "It's not that my chess skills are better than yours in this battle, it's just the skills I learned from a few tricks. Why should Brother Hongye care?"

Duan Hongye stood up and said: "That's all, how about accompanying me to dinner. Don't worry, I won't drag you into playing chess."

Jin Yanxi readily agreed: "Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

……

Beijing·Fujude.

Duan Hongye originally wanted to go to Qida Hutong or Jiuda Hutong, but Jin Yanxi didn't dare to go to those places before marrying Bai Xiuzhu, so the two chose Fujude.

I don’t know why, but people in Dijing now have a persistent motivation to eat ducks. If you stop a poor man on the street, give him a few dollars, and let him choose a big restaurant to eat, you can’t do anything else. He will definitely choose the cheap one.

Fang is to choose Fujude.

Not to mention Fujude's humble appearance, but Xiao Duan is a regular visitor here. Before he even entered, the guy at the door who was looking up to him came up to him and said, "Master Duan, are you here?"

Duan Hongye stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Yanxi, please."

Seeing the distinguished guest arriving, the waiter who was flirting with him was frightened and turned around to make a gesture to the inside.

Sure enough, when they arrived inside, shopkeeper Lu personally rushed out and said, "Young Master Duan, Young Master Jin Qi, are you here? When I went to buy ducks in the morning, I said that these ducks are fat and tender. I thought they should be

We are lucky, but we didn't expect that it was because of you. Knowing that you were coming to eat, God arranged a batch of fat ducks for us!"

(Jin Yanxi: Hey, isn’t this Dai Tianli?)

Duan Hongye said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, you have become more and more eloquent after becoming Fujude's shopkeeper. Please watch it in Yajian!"

Shopkeeper Lu shouted: "Okay!"

After taking a seat, Jin Yanxi finally understood why such an old place could still do such a good business. From the shopkeeper to the waiter, they were all excellent people. If future generations still retain this level of service, they would not suffer a total loss.

The waiter brought the dishes and said: "What I bring to you is a medium bowl of braised black ginseng, a medium bowl of red meatballs, a seven-inch braised duck paw to go with the wine, a seven-inch braised fish fillet to go with the wine, and a duck, served with ten-year-old Shaoxing."

Wine, lotus white four ounces!"

When Duan Hongye saw that he had succeeded in showing off, he felt very proud and received a huge reward as soon as he reached out his hand.

There are details everywhere, and these things are all experienced by ear and eye. Take Duan Hongye's playboy style as an example. Today, he deliberately gave more reward money, and then the guys shouted to the whole room, and everyone in the store heard it, so Jin Yanxi

It feels very respectable.

The food came out very quickly. Needless to say, it must have been stuffed. Usually the waiter goes to the back kitchen to order the food, and he just orders it in order and leaves after ordering it. The chef is also good at it. He doesn't need to write down the order, just listen to it.

Just remember it, there are many people in a big restaurant, no matter how many waiters come, the chef will remember it clearly, and there will be no one left behind.

When important guests come for dinner, when the waiter gives the chef the dishes, he will add at the end that this is that person's dish. The chef knows this in his heart and will usually fry this table first, at least to ensure that the dishes are cooked first.

Serve one or two dishes as quickly as possible and let them eat first.

You can't treat the guests who are stuck too badly. Without saying so, the chef will either give you a larger portion of the dish, or use the excuse of "excessive ingredients" to give you a dish.

When delivering the food, the shopkeeper usually does it in person, so that the guests have face and will naturally not complain that the food is served slowly. This is called Youliyoumian.

There is an evil trend in later generations, which claims that "delicious food means being arrogant". They treat guests as if they are grandchildren, and they are proud of it. However, if you work diligently, you must act diligently. How can you open a restaurant if you can't provide good service?

Son?

Duan Hongye was in a very good mood today. He poured some lotus white for himself and drank it. Jin Yanxi didn't touch the lotus white. He only drank two glasses of Shaoxing wine and waited for the duck, while chatting with Mr. Duan.

.

Nowadays, duck is not served at the beginning. Instead, duck is served after everyone has finished eating and drinking. Timing is very important. It is not good if the duck is served early and the guests have not finished their meal.

But if you arrive late and the guests have already rushed you, the waiter’s reputation will be lost.

You have to wait until the guest eats slower and spends more time drinking and talking. Then you put the towel handle on your hand to attract the guest's attention, and then slowly raise your hand. If the guest thinks it's not time to come, then he will

If the guest stops you, if he doesn’t say anything, you can shout: “Get out of here!”

The chef who slices the duck will bring the freshly baked duck to the table together with the meat. He will first cut off the duck's head, and then gently pick off two pieces of meat from the duck's butt. Do not leave the entire duck's butt to the guests.

, this is swearing.

Then he put the duck head and the other two pieces of duck meat on a small plate and gave it to the guest in the chair with both hands. Jin Yanxi showed humility again, and Duan Hongye of course refused, so the small plate was placed between the two of them. Anyway,

I generally don’t eat this stuff.

Then the knife flashed, and pieces of duck meat were sliced ​​off, each piece with meat and skin. Jin Yanxi even deliberately counted at the speed of his cutting. It was not at all like what was rumored in later generations and had to be cut into 108 pieces.

It's just nonsense. Ducks are fat and thin in different sizes. What the duck chef guarantees is not how many pieces, but that each piece has skin and meat, fat and thin, so that it tastes delicious.

The finished duck rack was taken out to make soup. Jin Yanxi took a piece of lotus leaf pancake and dipped it in some sauce. Instead of adding cucumber strips and shredded green onions, she directly put two pieces of plump duck meat on it and rolled it up.

When you take a bite, you will be greeted by the fragrance of the lotus leaf cake, the slightly sweet taste of the sauce, and the unique rich aroma of duck fat.

It’s really delicious! It’s not the same as the stuff from later generations, which makes Jin Yanxi feel Wen San’s happiness.

Duan Hongye wiped his mouth with bread and said: "In today's situation, there is no money and food inside, and there are a pack of wolves outside. How can there be a way out? Only a dying person can live count as a day."

Jin Yanxi put down the wine glass and said: "Not only are there a pack of wolves waiting for you, but now it seems that the storm is about to come."

Duan Hongye asked: "Did your uncle tell you?"

Jin Yanxi replied: "It's not my father. He wants me to stay out of the matter, but if the nest is overturned, the eggs will not be intact. Jin Yanxi is willing to be a pawn."

Duan Hongye praised: "Okay, what are you going to do, Brother Yanxi?"

Jin Yanxi said frankly: "My brother Jin Fengju works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I heard the details..."

Duan Hongye ordered the guards: "Take my post and call Jiang Shiyao."

Jiang Shiyao, the current commander of the infantry in the capital, is the nine-men admiral of the former Qing Dynasty. He is in charge of transportation, public security, urban management, city appearance, etc. He is very awesome.

But this grandson was not a good person. Later he became the chairman of the maintenance committee and was reviled by others.

After a while Jiang Shiyao came. Although this old boy is not amazing in appearance, he also controls more than 20,000 patrol policemen in the capital. However, the treatment of more than 20,000 patrol policemen is very strange. The so-called "stinky foot patrol" is supposed to last for one month.

Six yuan, ten yuan a month after reaching some levels, cannot be said to be less, at least it should not be looked down upon by others. However, the actual situation is that they need to prepare their own food, pay for clothes, and even weapons.

Pay the money!

Jiang Shiyao is the best at drilling, and he has worked his way up through the ranks. When he heard that Young Master Duan was calling for someone, he came without saying a word, without caring about his own status and face.

Jiang Shiyao cupped his hands and said: "I humble Jiang Shiyao, I am so flattered when I hear the summons from the two young masters!"

(Jin Yanxi: Damn it, you just let yourself go when there is no one around, right?)

Duan Hongye nodded and said: "Admiral Jiang is in charge of the nine gates. He works hard day and night. He still comes to the banquet despite his busy schedule. It's hard work. It's hard work."

Jiang Shiyao asked: "You said there is a place for me to help you. Don't worry, I will definitely do it for you."

Duan Hongye ordered: "It's not a big deal. I just want you to give Yan Xi the identity of an inspector and be responsible for the security of Mr. Shi's alley. As for his subordinates, you don't need to take care of them. I will transfer a reinforced company to the patrol system to form a special force. These

Of course you don’t have to pay for the soldiers’ pay and equipment.”

Jiang Shiyao was secretly alarmed. These two young masters conspired, and the Anhui clique must be making big moves. But these have nothing to do with him. After all, whoever is in power has to rely on himself to maintain law and order on the streets. However, the strength of a strengthened company is definitely against more than three people.

Hundreds of people, these three hundred people will have ten dollars a month, as well as all the necessary clothing and weapons. The money does not need to be paid by the police department, but you can report it to the police department's account. In other words, you can make a small profit by selling favors.

One stroke.
Chapter completed!
