Section 32 Hot opening
After a meal, Cheng Yaojin's son Cheng Chumo turned out to be Ye Tan's second brother, which shows Cheng Yaojin's ability.
After eating, he also took away the two beggar's chickens. At the same time, he scolded the prince for his future as the king of a country. He actually had delicious food and refused to share it with his subordinates. It was really too much. In order to cure his fragile heart,
With a glass heart, he put the strong liquor Zhuyeqing that Ye Tan took out later directly into the creaking nest and ran away.
Li Chengqian looked at Ye Tan, and Ye Tan looked at Li Chengqian, looked at each other, and then laughed heartily.
"Sometimes, I envy Your Majesty for having such ministers and friends." Ye Tan said to Li Chengqian, although Cheng Yaojin often did not obey this or that, such a person knew how to protect his master.
, it is absolutely good for Li Shimin. It is very rare for such a person to become a courtier and friend.
Li Chengqian was a little depressed at first, but after hearing his words, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's what my brother said."
Shiweixuan is only a restaurant that is about the tenth largest in Beijing, and its location is not very good, so there shouldn't be a lot of noise when it opens, but in fact it is not the case.
Zhang Yi had people prepare firecrackers and free food tasting activities early in the morning. Unfortunately, he finally discovered that he was wrong.
Because of meal preparation the night before and other reasons, he did not go back, but took a rest in the yard behind. Before he got up in the morning, he heard the waiter say, "Shopkeeper, there is a situation outside."
"What's going on?" He originally thought that someone was here to cause trouble, but when he got there, he saw a lot of people surrounding Shiwei Xuan. Although they didn't come over, they looked like they were definitely not coming to take a look, so he couldn't help but
His face changed, "Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Probably not." The clerks were also discerning people. After making an estimate, one of the older clerks said, "The shopkeeper, the younger one looks like someone who buys from various stores."
"Purchased? Why did you come to me?" Zhang Yi asked puzzledly, but now that he was Ye Tan's subordinate, he was naturally not afraid of this, so he turned around and said, "Today is the first day of opening, everyone must pay attention to the previous
As I said, if there are problems, everyone will look bad. If there are no problems, or there are fewer problems, the reward will definitely be huge."
"Open the door." He walked to the main door, pushed it open, and shouted.
As the larger carved door was pushed open, the crowd that had been surrounding suddenly seemed to explode and backed away. Then everyone looked at this strange place. There was a big tree at the door. This was
The habits developed in Yejia Village are that although the season is wrong, it is still lush and green, and there is nothing under the trees. There are some strange tables and chairs. The key requirements are big, thick, and strong. Everything else is not important. For
For people in the capital, no matter how luxurious they are, they are still very ordinary. They have never seen anything. Even if they don’t have aristocratic relatives, they can still say that they have seen it. After all, Chang’an City is so big. Even if you are a noble, you can’t stay home every day.
Come out.
Zhang Yi was dressed like a shopkeeper. He didn't look out of place, but he didn't stand out either. He looked around at the crowd and couldn't help laughing and said, "Everyone, Shiweixuan is open, let's get started."
For a moment, the surroundings were quiet, and everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and confusion. After all, this was the first time this happened.
However, Cheng Fu, the housekeeper of Cheng Yaojin's family, didn't care about this. What he came back last night was something brought by the master. He ate a chicken leg and thought it tasted very good. He came here early this morning and heard that
After hearing what Zhang Yi said, he walked over directly with a big box in his hand and said to the waiter next to him, "Here, introduce it to me."
Although Cheng Fu is tall and thick and has scars on his face, the Cheng family is very popular. Although they have a hot temper, they will never fall out if they don't offend others. So as soon as he finished speaking, there was
A well-trained guy came over, looked at him, smiled and said, "Sir, please come here and introduce me to you."
As soon as he walked in, the people behind him also followed, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the furnishings inside. There were almost twenty people standing there in a row, wearing white hats on their heads, and their bodies were also white. If not
These colors were not particularly dazzling, so they thought they were somewhere, but in front of them were more steaming cages woven from small bamboos, with a strong aroma stimulating their nostrils, and in front of these furnishings
, it is a huge table, which should be made of iron brackets. There are many small plates on it. There are many furnishings that they have never seen before. However, I heard that the owner of this shop is Songzhou Hou Yetan.
, that is to say, it is just a gadget of Songzhou.
"Sir, we have steamed buns here, which are divided into two types: large and small. I wonder what kind of filling you like?" He just brought Cheng Fu to the counter and pointed at everything there.
Although Cheng Fu is Cheng Yaojin's butler, he has eaten delicious food all these years. Every time he goes to the palace and comes back, Cheng Yaojin always brings some food from the palace, and sometimes he also tastes it.
What I tasted is that it is a pity that the delicious food that I used to eat by myself is no match for the aroma here.
"What is this?" Cheng Fu pointed to a very large iron pot not far away, put grease on it, and then slowly opened it, and then a person quickly placed a lot of egg-sized dough on it.
, then he heard a squeaking sound, and then he put the cover on it. After a while, white heat came out. After he opened it, he started to shovel out the things with a strange tool, and put the bamboo braid aside.
But only a little was put on the lid, and the rest was still there.
"Oh. These are called pan-fried buns. They are made from the unique ingredient pork in Songzhou, plus other secret ingredients. Adults can try one, but it's just a little hot." The waiter said casually. He had eaten this before.
, it tastes very good. At first, he didn’t dare to eat it because it was pork. But when the taste really came out, he felt that apart from dragon meat, this is the only meat in the world that tastes best.
Cheng Fu also went out to fight with Cheng Yaojin back then. When there was no food, he could eat even the mud on the ground. Therefore, he didn't care about it at all and was about to start, but was stopped by the guy behind him, "Sir
, this thing can only be used with chopsticks, firstly for hygiene, and secondly so as not to hurt you."
Although Cheng Fu was used to being arrogant and domineering, he could still listen to what others said. He picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the side, picked one up, took a look, and found that the top was white, while the bottom was a little yellow, which seemed to be fresh.
It was caused by oil. It smelled good, so he put it directly into his mouth. Just as the clerk was about to stop him, it was already too late. Cheng Fu's expression trembled. It seemed that he was burned, but he didn't spray it out. Instead, he frowned and sped up.
He noticed the movements of the teeth in his mouth, and when he swallowed it, he said, "It smells so good. It tastes really delicious."
"Sir, although this thing doesn't look hot on the surface, it's very hot on the inside. It's full of oil, so it's usually eaten with some juice." The waiter said, pointing to the thing on the big table just now.
"It tastes really good, but it's a little small. Can't we make a bigger one?" Cheng Fu was still thinking about what he had just eaten. It was really delicious, but it was too small and not satisfying to eat.
"Adults, you know, this can only be so small. If it's too big, it won't be cooked well. However, if you want to eat big buns, you can look over there. The buns there are all fist-sized. You can try it.
Yes." The guy told him promptly.
Cheng Fu was a little reluctant to part with the pan-fried buns, but he still walked over. A waiter dressed in white took out a big bun with bamboo clips and placed it in front of him. He did not eat it, but looked at him dressed in white and asked, "
Why are you dressed like this?"
"For the sake of cleanliness, these clothes are washed and changed every day." The boy's words made him stunned. The palace was not so particular.
"Sir, in addition to this kind of steamed buns, if you like to eat meat, you can also get this kind of soup, but the price is a little more expensive." The waiter who followed pointed to a big pot not far away and said.
As Cheng Fu tasted it, many people who came to watch the excitement also began to taste the delicacies here. Some of them were so excited about eating that they even forgot to take them back.
The housekeeper of Kong Yingda's family also came, but this person was relatively simple and elegant. He would not eat directly. Instead, he would put some gold flower rolls and the like in a food box and take them back.
Although there are more and more people, it does not appear messy at all, but is carried out in an orderly manner.
Because it was Xiu Mu, Kong Yingda got up a little later than usual. Although it was a little later, he still got up very early. When the housekeeper came back, he had just come out of the study and saw the whole family sitting in the dining room waiting.
Looking at himself, he couldn't help but nodded, and then started to eat.
In the early Tang Dynasty, breakfast was relatively simple, either meat or cakes, and Kong Yingda had been a scholar since he was a child, so he didn't care much about these foods, but what was strange today was that there were some things on the table that he had never seen before.
Something, I couldn’t help but ask, “What is this?”
Kong Yingda's children were not around, and only a few grandchildren were left. The eldest among them was Kong Huan. When he heard his grandfather's question, he stood up and replied, "Grandpa, this is called Hanamaki. I heard it is the food of Shiweixuan."
, the butler went out to buy it early in the morning."
"What about this?" He pointed to another small plate. He had never seen the contents inside. Isn't this a bit ridiculous?
"It's a side dish they sent, called pickles, but I've never seen it before." Kong Huan continued.
"What about this?" Kong Yingda asked, pointing to a pile of small dough in a steamer.
"I heard they are called Xiao Long Baozi, and they serve a hundred steamed buns a day." Kong Huan continued, while Kong Yingda's wife swallowed a little and said, "Okay, Master, let's eat, the children are hungry."
Kong Yingda originally planned to continue asking, but after hearing his wife's words, he was stunned. He remembered that children didn't like to have breakfast. Most of the time, they just dealt with it, but today they took the initiative to say that they wanted to eat. It had to be said that he was a
What a miracle.
He nodded, sat down, picked up a small steamed bun with chopsticks, and said, "Eat it."
Then the originally quiet dinner table suddenly became lively. Several children were using the bowls and chopsticks very fast, which made him stunned for a moment. Because he is a descendant of Saint Kong, he often asked to be quiet when eating, but
, when he put the bun into his mouth, his cloudy eyes immediately widened. Even his numb lips and tongue could feel the strong aroma and umami taste of the bun. Could this thing be a small one?
It was caused by the small buns. Thinking of this, when he was about to pick up another one, he found that there was no more. The chopsticks fell in the air. He glanced at his old wife in embarrassment and said, "It's gone?"
"Well, I heard that today's store is open for business. There aren't many items, but this item is really good and suitable for the elderly." The old wife put the item on her plate into her mouth and chewed it slowly, while Kong Yingda
Then he lowered his head and drank millet porridge, not knowing what he was thinking.
The Cheng family was interesting. A large pot of broth and big meat buns made Cheng Yaojin enjoy the meal. As a result, his eldest son Cheng Chumo was beaten by him because the child dared to steal his father's food.
The second son, Cheng Chuliang, shouted directly to Cheng Yaojin’s wife, “Mom, daddy eats alone again.”
Ms. Cui, who was holding the bone in her hand, slapped Cheng Yaojin on the neck, causing him to almost fall. Although Cheng Yaojin looked like a tough guy, his wife looked very delicate, but she grew up in troubled times.
People, whether they are men or women, have their own unique skills, so Cheng Yaojin sometimes can't beat his wife, which is embarrassing.
"Master, why don't you eat less? Look at how fat you are, and your children haven't even grown up yet." After saying this, he gave a piece of meat bone to his second son, while Cheng Chumo snickered beside him, only to be bitten by Cheng.
When he saw it, he slapped him, almost knocking out his teeth, and cursed, "I asked you to go to Ye Tan's house to play when you have nothing to do. Why don't you go?"
Cheng Chumo, who felt as if his brain was going to explode, whispered, "Dad, I haven't gone out today yet."
"You have no spirituality, idiot. Even if you are not familiar with it, you still want to go there and have a big meal. Don't you know how to respect the elderly?" Cheng Yaojin's words are simply gangster logic. You don't know whose house it belongs to, so just go there.
Do you think it's appropriate to eat for free?
"Oh." Cheng Chumo was unlucky to have such a dad at the stall. He could only lower his head and drink porridge. Those brothy meat buns and the like had nothing to do with him.
This kind of thing happens in many families. As for Li Chengqian, Ye Tan prepared a little cook for him. Although his skills are not very good, it is enough to deal with a bumpkin like Li Chengqian. As for Li Tai, since he ate Ye Tan's food for him
After preparing the things, he ran to the East Palace when he had something to do. What he knew was to eat, but what he didn't know was that he thought he was planning to force Li Chengqian to leave. Of course, his reasons were also very good. He didn't study much.
, need to study with the prince’s brother.
But Ye Tan took some food with him, got on his special carriage with four wheels, and went to Wei Zheng's house.
Wei Zheng, how should I put it, although he has a bad temper and does not give face to others, Ye Tan feels that there may be only one truly selfless person in this world. Emperor Li Shimin needs to control the world.
All big families also need to thrive, but Wei Zheng's son Wei Ziyu's later life was really not that good. From a simple father's point of view, such a father is simply the most unlucky thing.
Although Wei Zheng said a lot of bad things about Ye Tan, in the current capital, the one person who would not harm him must be Wei Zheng, because he doesn't bother to do those things, and other people, including him, have a good relationship with him.
Li Xiaogong, he doesn’t even want to go. It’s not a good thing to be too close to the royal family. Not only does everyone have a bad impression of you, you are suspected of being a coward. Even when those princes grow up, their attitude towards you is also bad.
It won't be good.
Think about it, I read Wei Zheng's introduction when I was studying in later generations. Although I don't remember it now, he was poor all his life. His dedication to Zhenguan during these years was first-class. He successfully controlled Li Shimin's anger. This is why he was so special in the first place.
The reason why Li Jiancheng wanted to kill Li Shimin, judging from his behavior after Wei Zheng died in the later period, was that Li Shimin actually had a bad temper and was not serious about his work. From seeing him since he was a child, he could tell that he was a good fighter, but he was not a good fighter.
However, Xue Ju was a good man in governing the country, and he was actually no better than Li Jiancheng. There was just one difference between ruffians and scoundrels, that is, they dared to play ruthless and evil people, so he succeeded.
The reason why Ye Tan did this was to see such a great man.
The carriage passed by the entrances of many wealthy families along the way. Looking at those houses, one had to say that even though the concierge was not very spacious, it was definitely good to see many things inside from the outside. And when you arrived
In front of a door with a broken wall and broken door, Ye Tan looked up, frowned at Mo Xiaoyu beside him and said, "Are you sure this is here?"
Noila Mo also rubbed her eyes and looked at it several times, then looked at the surrounding environment and finally said, "Master, this is here."
"That's awesome. There aren't many people who are so self-cultivation." Ye Tan got off the carriage, walked to the door and gently knocked on it. It wasn't that he didn't want to use force, but he was worried that if he used force, the door would fly away.
When the time comes, will you help me repair it, or will I not repair it?
"Dang, dang, dang..." The copper frame on the door is pretty good. You can go far if you knock it a few times. It's an antique.
"Who is it?" An old man with wrinkles on his face appeared at the door. He looked at Ye Tan who was standing at the door and was stunned for a moment. After all, few people come here. Since Li Jiancheng died, there are even fewer.
