The name of this northern restaurant is very impressive, Judeshun. Its signature dish is duck. Nanjing people love to eat duck and consume much more duck than chicken every day. Judeshun also makes duck, but not the salted water Nanjing people are used to.
Duck, salted duck, etc., but a unique style of roast duck.
The ducks used in Judeshun are all carefully selected extremely fat ducks, grilled with camphor charcoal. The appearance is golden and shiny, and the aroma is rich and mouth-watering. The way to eat it is also unique, which is to cut the duck into ninety-nine pieces.
Thin slices of meat are mixed with scallions, cucumbers and a unique fragrant sauce, and are eaten wrapped in thin pancakes. The duck is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the scallions and cucumbers are refreshing and fragrant, and the fragrant sauce is made densely, giving it a unique taste.
The only one in the capital that can cook roast duck is Judeshun, which attracts many gourmets from the capital. In addition, there are a group of chefs in Judeshun who are good at Beijing and Shandong cuisine, so those dignitaries who immigrated from the north also
I like to come here very much. Liu Ziguang has a solid foundation in Jinan and claims to be from Shandong. It can be seen that Zheng Sen has put a lot of thought into choosing Deshun.
Liu Ziguang gave Zheng Sen enough face and came to Judeshun as promised. Zheng Sen had already been waiting here. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they sat down to serve the dishes and tasted the roast duck. After drinking for three times, Zheng Sen still did not mention this.
The purpose of inviting Liu Ziguang to the banquet this time was still to persuade him to drink. His behavior was completely unlike that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
You are not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry. I heard that the war in the Taiwan Strait is getting serious, and the Zheng family can no longer bear it. If they don't get help from the court, they may collapse in an instant, so Zheng Sen doesn't talk about business and Liu Ziguang is happy to pretend
Confused.
After dinner and dinner, the waiter in the restaurant presented a box of cigars from the Song Dynasty, ordered them respectfully to several distinguished guests, and then asked Zheng Sen: "Sir, would you like to order a little tune to relieve your boredom?"
Zheng Sen said: "Just step back, I will call you when needed."
A trace of regret flashed in the waiter's eyes, but it passed quickly. He smiled and said, "If you need anything, just ask. The young one will be waiting at the door."
After the waiter left, Zheng Sen said to Liu Ziguang: "Mr. Liu, does this Beijing-style roast duck taste good?"
"The taste is very good, very distinctive." Liu Ziguang replied while smoking. Wu Sangui also sat aside and imitated them to smoke. A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god. This is a new proverb in the capital, imported from the Song Dynasty.
Tobacco sales are very good in the capital. People in the capital have developed the habit of smoking. Most people buy the relatively cheap broken leaves and put them in copper pipes and pots to smoke. Only a few people can afford the whole tobacco.
The cigars wrapped in tobacco leaves also show that Judeshun has a wide range of connections.
"I didn't expect that northerners could cook duck so well. I wonder if this is the most authentic Beijing flavor. If I have the chance, I would really like to go to Beijing to try roast duck," Zheng Sen said.
"That's easy. We will be able to regain Beijing in a short time, and then Mr. Zheng can go to Beijing to taste the authentic roast duck." Wu Sangui took over and said.
"The imperial army is invincible, and the conquest of Beijing is of course just around the corner. When the time comes, I will definitely go get some drinks to celebrate the victory, and try the Peking duck by the way. By the way, we have a dish in Taiwan called three-cup chicken, and the taste is also unique.
It’s no worse than Peking duck. The recipe is a cup of soy sauce, a cup of sesame oil and a cup of sugar. Pour three cups of ingredients into the chicken nuggets, then simmer over high heat for ten minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer the thick soup into the chicken nuggets until dry.
When the dish is served, you can hear the sound of chicken sizzling in the casserole, and when you lift the lid, you can see the fragrant hot mist rising. The chicken in Three Cup Chicken is very delicious, with a refreshing and firm texture. It is a Taiwanese dish.
Famous dishes.”
"Oh, I must try it when I have the opportunity to go to Taiwan." Liu Ziguang was a little puzzled. Could it be that Zheng Sen invited him to dinner just to discuss food?
When he was confused, Zheng Sen got into the main topic of the day. He stood up, took two steps, and said melancholy: "Unfortunately, if you want to eat authentic three-cup chicken in the future, you will have to go to Taiwan just like you want to eat authentic Peking duck."
Only then can we eat it.”
"How do you say this? Isn't Mr. Zheng's visit to Beijing this time just for peace talks? Is there going to be another war?" Liu Ziguang asked in surprise.
"No, what I mean is that if everyone wants to eat authentic three-cup chicken in the future, they will have to drive away the red-haired people. The war in the Taiwan Strait is getting tense right now, and our Zheng family can hardly hold on anymore, but the peace talks here are still going on.
There is no progress at all. If this continues, Taiwan's great land and hundreds of thousands of people will belong to the red-haired people." Zheng Sen shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
It turns out that you are waiting for me here. The lack of progress in the peace talks is not because you, the old Zheng family, have too much appetite. They want the court to send troops to help, but they don’t want to pay too high a price. They also want to be the king of Taiwan. Damn! Liu Ziguang is serious.
Said: "Although the people on the island of Taiwan were moved there by Zheng Laoyiguan (Zheng Zhilong's alias) with three gold and one ox, they are all our sons and daughters of Fujian. They are subjects under the imperial system. Of course, the emperor will not sit back and watch his subjects being slaughtered by barbarians.
, Not to mention the people on those islands, even the old official himself and Mr. Zheng, are all subjects of the imperial court and should be protected by the imperial court. However, you, the Zheng family, have many ships and strong soldiers, and you are independent in Taiwan.
What's the rationale for trying to invade and occupy Fujian's land? Now that you are being attacked by foreign barbarians, you should think of the imperial court again. It's not enough to recruit people honestly, but you are thinking of becoming the king of Taiwan. It is impossible for the imperial court to agree to such conditions. Mr. Zheng
This governor is in favor with you so I can tell you the truth. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
Liu Ziguang's words were indeed straightforward enough, which made Zheng Sen a little embarrassed. However, he did not get angry. His face turned red for a long time and he said, "What you are trying to teach me is that my father has been running Taiwan for more than ten years. He is not willing to see all his hard work go to waste."
In the hands of outsiders, the asking price is higher. In fact, I also know that it is extremely difficult for the court to agree to it, but now the court is no longer willing to talk to us, so I would like to ask Mr. Liu to be accommodating, as long as we can maintain the status of our Zheng family in Taiwan.
You can talk about whatever you want."
"The Zheng family has made great contributions in running Taiwan. Of course, the court will not ignore it. However, this dynasty does not have the rule of naming a king of the opposite sex. It is even more undesirable to follow the example of Goryeo. Goryeo was a barbarian and Taiwanese are all Han people. How can they be the same?
The governor thought that it would be enough for an old official to be granted a title of marquis, but if I gave you the position of governor of Taiwan, wouldn't it be equally honorable and honorable?" Zheng Sen was a sensible person, so Liu Ziguang simply gave him the bottom line of the imperial court.
"Marquis, Governor of Taiwan." Zheng Sen muttered these two titles in a low voice, weighing the weights, as if he was making up his mind.
"In this way, the Manchus in the north and the Xixia in the west have occupied a lot of land in our Ming Dynasty. The south is not peaceful either. The chieftains in Yunnan and Guizhou always have some rebellious ideas. The vassals like Korea and Vietnam are also ready to get rid of the Ming Dynasty and establish themselves as emperors.
, if in such troubled times, there are a few more heroes among us Han people, then the Ming Dynasty will really fall apart. Everyone wants to be the emperor, but the common people will suffer when they fight. The situation of the Five Husbands who disrupted China cannot be repeated.
Ah, you Zheng family are Han people after all, so I will tell you this frankly. If it is the Manchu Tatars, I will only have one word to send them: fight!" Liu Ziguang said and patted Zheng Sen.
Shoulder: "The Han people in the world should be twisted into one rope."
Zheng Sen nodded thoughtfully, and was about to say something when suddenly there was an exclamation from outside, followed by the sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of someone falling to the ground. Several people turned their heads over in unison, and the door was closed.
You couldn't see outside, but you could hear the muffled sound of whips hitting people and the cries of women.
"Who is making the noise?" Liu Ziguang frowned. The plainclothes guard at the door opened the door and yelled fiercely to stop making noise. However, the crying not only did not stop, but became even more miserable. The accent seemed to be from the Jinan area.
person.
"Call people in!" Liu Ziguang shouted. Jinan people were bullied in the capital. Of course he had to stand up. The guards went out and brought two people in. One was a young girl, and the other was the third shopkeeper from Judeshun. The third shopkeeper's hand
He was still carrying a cane, and when he saw the guest was angry, he quickly smiled and said: "I'm sorry, guests, a new singer in the shop didn't understand the rules and made the customers next door angry, so I gave her a few lessons.
I can’t help but feel sorry for the shocked guests, so the shop will give me three more cigars.”
Liu Ziguang ignored the third shopkeeper and asked the woman, "Are you from Jinan?"
The woman lowered her head and twitched, her two slender shoulders shaking constantly. Although she couldn't see her face, her figure must be very slender. When the guest asked, she sobbed and said, "I am from Zhangqiu."
The accents of Zhangqiu and Jinan are very close. In fact, Zhangqiu is a county below Jinan, so this woman should be regarded as half of Liu Ziguang's fellow villagers. It's okay if the fellow villagers are bullied. Liu Ziguang said: "Why did you end up like this? Why did you end up like this?"
Being beaten by the shopkeeper? Come here quickly, I will make the decision for you."
The woman cried: "My parents were starving to death. In order to save my parents, I sold myself to a theater troupe. Later, the theater troupe collapsed, and I was sold to Judeshun as a singer. I have always been a busker."
I’m not selling myself, but the customer next door had two extra glasses of wine and insisted on me staying the night, but I refused to do so, which made the guest angry.”
It is normal for high-end restaurants like Judeshun to have singers.
It is normal for guests to tease singers, but it is rare for a singer to have such a personality and dare to hit a guest. Liu Ziguang laughed and said: "After all, you are a Shandong girl, you are brave, I have made the decision for you, who is that?"
No more beatings, do you hear me?"
Although the third shopkeeper didn't know Liu Ziguang's identity, he could tell by the way they were dressed that they were officials, so naturally they didn't dare to contradict him and only agreed.
"Why didn't you slap me? I can't get this slap in vain!" The guest next door couldn't hear the sound of the singer being whipped, so he came out to ask.
"Damn it, you two went out and slapped that guest ten times, and you actually bullied us Shandong fellows." Liu Ziguang pointed to the door with his hand, and two plainclothes guards immediately jumped out, and in the blink of an eye they heard crackling.
Slap sound.
A fight broke out among the guests. The third shopkeeper hurriedly tried to persuade him. Liu Ziguang remained unmoved. The ten slaps were quickly finished. The slapped guest was so dizzy that his teeth were all over the floor and he ran away. The third shopkeeper hurriedly
Chase him out and apologize. Regardless of whether the restaurant is responsible or not, the beating in Judeshun is the fault of the hotel.
"Okay, I've helped you vent your anger. You can go down." Liu Ziguang said.
Unexpectedly, the woman actually kowtowed and cried: "Brother, I thank you for helping me vent my anger, but you are hurting me by doing this. If you turn around, the shopkeeper will beat me to death."
This is true, I beat the guest, patted her butt and walked away, but the debt will be passed on to the singer, and she will have to lose her skin even if she is not beaten to death.
The singer's next words were even more shocking: "Brother, you can be a good person and buy me. Anyway, after what happened, Judeshun won't be able to tolerate me anymore. I will either be sold to a brothel or beaten to death."
, I can sing, and I can also wash clothes and cook. Brother, just buy me."
He had never met the older girl who was actively promoting him. Liu Ziguang thought this fellow was very interesting, so he said, "Raise your head and speak, so I can see what you look like."
The singer slowly raised her head, and the men in the room cast their gazes over her, and then their eyes were fixed on the singer's face.
Stunner! A beauty in the sky, with big watery eyes that seem to hold a layer of mist in her mouth, a pointed oval face, a delicate nose, a rosy mouth, and an indescribable charm between her eyebrows that attract men.
I'm a little intoxicated. If I were such a singer, I wouldn't be able to help teasing her. This is what everyone is thinking at the moment.
This woman is extremely beautiful. I don't know why Liu Ziguang always thinks of a kind of seductive fairy when he sees her. How can she be human? She is clearly a foxy girl.
"Fellow, what's your name?" Liu Ziguang decided to rescue this Zhangqiu fellow from the fire pit. Although he didn't have the habit of collecting beautiful women, he would not just watch such beauties fall into the hands of others.
"Han Xue'er, this is the name my father gave me." the singer said.
