Chapter 83 Long-term Meal Ticket

This box of food alone is very suitable for Zhang Jianxiu and Feng Bao in terms of quantity.

This meal is very filling, has a refreshing and delicious texture, and is very delicious. It is a combination of meat and vegetables and does not appear greasy at all.

As the saying goes, "Food is the first priority for the people." Eating has been the most important thing in the minds of Chinese people since ancient times, and the food culture of the Ming Dynasty was deeply influenced by Taoism.

People in the Ming Dynasty advocated eating less and eating fine foods, and there was even a saying that they would not eat after lunch. This was not entirely for the sake of frugality, but rather a Taoist health-preserving culture.

Laozi, the founder of Taoism, taught in the Tao Te Ching: See simplicity and embrace simplicity, and be less selfish and have fewer desires.

Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.

The Taoist classic "Taiping Jing" says: "Eating less is the root, the true spirit loves to be clean, and the excrement and qi are faint."

It is written in the book "The Legend of Immortals": "Too much food is prohibited."

The dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, who were deeply influenced by Taoist culture, were not only ashamed to eat large amounts of fish and meat, but also paid great attention to table manners.

So following Zhang Jianxiu and Feng Bao, they filled their stomachs, drank another cup of tea, and after a sip, they felt comfortable and started talking again involuntarily.

Feng Bao picked up a broken potato shred with chopsticks and asked curiously: "What is this?"

Judging from the expression on the eunuch's face, he was a little surprised, as if he couldn't believe that there was something in the world that his Eunuch Feng had never eaten.

He entered the palace as a boy, served three emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and rose through the ranks to become the eunuch of the inner court. What kind of delicacies have he never seen or tasted?

But this?

Zhang Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sunlight coming in at noon, and he was also confused. After all, he had never seen potato shreds.

The two looked at each other again, savoring the taste of the ingredients. The taste was fresh and unforgettable, and they were speechless for a moment.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Zhang Jianxiu couldn't help but touched his head and pondered in his heart. He couldn't help but become deeply curious about the small restaurant run by his younger sister.

What's the name of that little restaurant...

correct.

Zhang Jianxiu slapped himself on the leg and said firmly: "Bianyifang."

Zhang Jianxiu was even more surprised now. He originally thought that his younger sister's investment in a cheap house was just a bored little girl playing in the house, playing like a child playing house.

A small loss of money is a loss, but I never expected...

The business of this cheap shop is actually very serious and decent.

But Zhang Jianxiu felt something was wrong. He had watched the little sister grow up since she was a child. How capable the little sister was, how could he, the elder brother, not know?

The younger sister is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in business...

Zhang Jianxiu shook his head, how could she do business?

So the big spy leader began to ponder in his heart: "Is it possible... that there is an expert behind this little girl?"

Zhang Jianxiu quickly filtered the people around his little sister in his mind. He first thought of Tian Hong, and then eliminated this person.

Not like.

Soon he thought of another person, the little shopkeeper who looked very honest and honest.

Could it be him?

Zhang Jianxiu was thoughtful, what was that person's name?

"By the way, my name is Shen Lie..."

On the side, Feng Bao was also very impressed by the delicacy of potatoes.

As a person who is very picky about food, Feng Baohe meditated and memorized the name, and couldn't help but develop a strong interest in Bianyifang, this strange and precious ingredient.

At noon, outside Chaoyang Gate.

After Shen Lie, Tian Hong, and Zhang Jingxiu finished delivering the meals, they pushed the flat trolley out of Chaoyang Gate. It was noontime when people were crowded.

A few people, together with a large number of government officials, drifted with the crowd until they reached a deserted place.

Shen Lie stopped and looked at the smiling Zhang Jingxiu. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart. He wished he could rush over to hug her and kiss her fiercely.

"Ha ha!"

Shen Lie put down the flatbed truck, straightened up, and let out a hearty laugh. The government business he had been dreaming about was completed!

The road has been cleared, and it will be a matter of course to deliver food to Beizhen Fusi in the future.

Don’t look at the monk’s face but look at the Buddha’s face.

In the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei System, who dares not to give Miss Zhang face?

At this time, Shen Lie's mouth was twisted in a smile, and he quickly extended his thumb to Zhang Jingxiu, and kept praising: "The boss is so powerful!"

Our boss is so arrogant!

Tian Hong also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes!"

This trip to Beizhen Fusi was of great benefit to Tian Hong. At least he could show his face in front of his bosses who rarely see him in normal times.

At this moment, Tian Hong seemed to see a bright future waving towards him, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice again in his heart about his wise decision to invest in Bianyifang.

I never expected that Miss Zhang would have the ability to act coquettishly and cutely. Once she used this ruthless move, she was really numb to the bone.

She captured her fourth brother so easily.

Shen Lie excitedly counted with his fingers for a while, and then asked: "Old Tian, ​​how many people are there in Fusi Yamen in Beizhen?"

Tian Hong was also very excited, and said with a smile: "The adults who are having a meal at Fusi in Beizhen at noon, those who are seventh grade or above... there must be two to three hundred people."

When Shen Lie heard about this huge number, his mouth twisted when he smiled. These were two to three hundred long-term customers, dreaming of a bright future with huge financial resources after getting through the yamen route.

Shen Lie smiled from ear to ear.

Zhang Jingxiu on the side was constantly praised by the two people, and her pretty face could not help but blush slightly, but she could not hide the pride in her heart.

She put the folding fan on her chest, her delicate neck raised involuntarily, her expression was clear. Then she said, praise me, praise me as hard as you can...

So amidst the compliments, a few people walked quickly towards the cheap shop under the warm sunshine like generals who had won a battle.

The air is filled with joy and excitement.

Busy time always flies by.

Noon the next day.

Several people still pushed the flatbed truck and arrived in front of Fusi Gate in Beizhen with a cart of boxed lunches.

Once alive, twice mature.

Apparently the soldier guarding the gate had learned his lesson, and now he knew who Miss Zhang was.

Several guards were chatting as usual. When they saw Zhang Jingxiu, who was disguised as a man, they hurried up to greet him and helped push a cart of lunch boxes into the Fusi compound in Beizhen.

Seeing the guards helping to unload the lunch boxes, Zhang Jingxiu waved to Zhang Jianxiu, who was standing smiling at the door of the official hall, showing a sweet smile.

Zhang Jianxiu also smiled fondly and licked his lips involuntarily, remembering the delicious food he had never tasted before.

Something moved in my heart.

Zhang Jianxiu walked to the courtyard and called one of his confidants, Tiqi, over. With a few words of advice and a look, the confidant Tiqi understood the situation and walked into the official hall.

Not long after.

Jinyi Tiqi took a stack of banknotes and walked towards the graceful Miss Zhang, then respectfully handed over the banknotes.

Tiqi bowed to Zhang Jingxiu and said with a smile: "My Lord General Xian has told me that from today onwards, one hundred copies of this meal can be sent to me every day."

Zhang Jingxiu took the banknote and smiled so hard that his dimples appeared: "Thank you very much."

The Tiqi hurriedly saluted, not even daring to do so.

After some pleasantries, everyone left their lunch boxes, took a stack of banknotes, and pushed the cart out of Beizhen Fusi with satisfaction.

When there was no one in the alley, Shen Lie could not conceal his ecstasy.

Rub your hands together.

Shen Lie looked into Miss Zhang's arms and said expectantly: "How many taels have you collected... let me see."

Zhang Jingxiu took out the stack of banknotes, separated one hundred taels, fifty taels, and ten taels, and handed them over one by one, with a thrilling look on his pretty face.
