Jubin Building is not only large in scale, in a good location, but also has good chef skills. Coupled with the Fan family's golden sign, the business is very prosperous, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.
Every time they come, Qiu Zhen and others can't help but sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his chest and said jokingly: "We work hard on the battlefield, and our salary for a month may not be as much as what other restaurants make in a day!"
Tang Yin smiled and said nothing. During this period, his relationship with Fan Min grew day by day, but he never asked about the Fan family's business. Fan Min opened so many shops in Pingyuan County, and he really didn't know how much his monthly income was.
Shangguan Yuanwu rolled his eyes at his brother and said, "Then don't join the army, just stay in the city and do business!"
Shangguan Yuanbiao shook his head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "That won't work. I still think marching and fighting are interesting."
Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao are twin brothers, they look the same but have very different personalities. The former is steady while the latter is impulsive.
It didn't take long, and the waiter served the wine and food one by one. The wine was Fengguo's unique shochu, which was spicy and strong, and the food was the game that Tang Yin and the others had hunted, including wild boars, pheasants, hares, etc., which were cooked by the restaurant chef.
Hands turn into delicious dishes with fragrant aroma.
As everyone ate and drank, they gradually began to talk more and more, talking about everything from hunting to fighting against barbarians, from wine and food to the customs and customs of various vassal states.
Tang Yin didn't talk much, but he listened very carefully. He also wanted to know more about the current situation of the Haotian Empire.
When talking about the countries surrounding Feng Country, we have to talk about Ning and Mozambique.
Ning State is an old enemy of Feng State, and they have deep grudges. When it comes to Ning State, everyone has the same opinion. They all feel that although peace is maintained now, there will be a war sooner or later. Xiao Muqing believes that before starting a war with Ning, Mo State should be attacked first because of Mo State's strength.
Strong, in the south of Feng Kingdom, the tiger's eye was too late to pacify Mo Kingdom first. Feng Kingdom was quite worried about its future. However, Qiu Zhen had the opposite opinion. He believed that although Mo Kingdom was strong, it was not a cause for concern. It did not mean that Mo Kingdom's soldiers were not strong.
But the powerful people in power in the Mo Kingdom were indecisive and capricious. Even when the Ning Kingdom launched a large-scale attack on Tongmen, the Mo Kingdom only hoarded troops on the Fengmo border and did not dare to send troops to join the war.
Of course, they are just talking casually, and for now they don't have the ability to influence the overall situation.
While everyone was chatting, the sound of a piano came from outside the box. The tune was beautiful and very pleasant.
When everyone heard the sound, their spirits were lifted. Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Sir, how about we invite the piano player outside to come over and perform a solo for us?"
Before Tang Yin could say anything, everyone nodded in agreement. Qiu Zhen also smiled and said, "It's a beautiful thing to drink and listen to the piano at the same time."
Tang Yin had no objection, raised his head and said, "Okay, tell the waiter to come over."
Zhang Zhou agreed, stood up, opened the door, and called the waiter over. At the same time, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket, handed it to the waiter, and said, "Let the gentleman who plays the piano outside play a few songs for us."
The waiter took the money and said hello repeatedly.
Everyone waited in the box for a long time, but when the piano player did not arrive, the waiter walked in with an embarrassed look on his face. With a dry smile on his face, he bowed to everyone and said with an apologetic smile: "Several adults, I really can't
Sorry, the guests in the box next door asked the piano player to leave first, so the adults have to wait for a while."
Since someone had arrived first, it was hard for everyone to say anything. However, after waiting for a long time, the piano player still hadn't come. Zhang Zhou was a little impatient and called the waiter again and asked, "Why hasn't he come yet?"
"The guests in the private room next door are generous, so..." the waiter explained while rubbing his hands.
Zhang Zhou frowned and asked, "How much do they offer? I'll add another two taels."
The waiter whispered in embarrassment: "The guest over there paid ten taels of silver."
Zhang Zhou almost vomited blood when he heard this. He was offered ten taels of silver just for listening to a piece of music. Who are the people next door? As a regiment commander, his salary was not small, but he was really reluctant to pay out ten taels of silver at once. He was deeply moved.
Take a breath and slowly sit back in the chair.
Seeing this, Tang Yin raised his head and said slowly to the waiter: "Then let's pay twenty taels. You go and bring the person over."
"Ah?" The waiter in the shop was also a little dumbfounded. He wanted to pay twenty taels of silver to listen to the music. He had never seen or heard of it. After a moment of confusion, he came back to his senses, nodded blankly, and said: "Okay... okay, sir, I
Go now!"
After the waiter left, Tang Yin looked at Zhang Zhou, smiled lightly, raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's continue drinking!"
Tang Yin never talks much, and can easily give people a sense of aloofness, but he takes good care of his brothers. He will not let his subordinates be bullied, nor will he let his subordinates fail to come to power.
Zhang Zhou could certainly feel Tang Yin's thoughtfulness. He was grateful in his heart and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Sir, I respect you!"
"Haha!" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "Do it!"
"Dry!"
Everyone also raised their glasses and drank the whole glass in one gulp.
They changed cups and drank for a while, but still the piano player didn't come. The waiter knocked on the door again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, the guests over there... still won't let me go.
The price has... been increased to fifty taels."
Upon hearing this, not only Zhang Zhou couldn't sit still, but everyone else also frowned. Shangguan Yuan Biao stood up and slapped the case angrily, saying angrily: "This is obviously a problem for us! I want to see it,
What kind of fucking people are there next door!" As he spoke, he raised his legs to walk out. Looking at his fierce look, he didn't look like he was going to see someone, but more like he was looking for someone to fight for.
Tang Yin was also curious about the identity of the other party and did not stop Yuan Biao. However, Qiu Zhen knocked on the table and coughed in dissatisfaction. He said leisurely: "Some time ago, Brother Tang just punished the bullies in Hengcheng. Now,
We can't replace him! Brother Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Yin didn't think there was anything wrong with Shangguan Yuan Biao at first, but after hearing Qiu Zhen's words, his old face turned red, shook his head and smiled, and responded: "Yeah! What Xiao Zhen said makes sense, Yuan Biao, sit back.
!”
"Huh!" Shangguan Yuanbiao snorted heavily and sat back on the chair. He was back, but his anger was not gone. He had his arms folded, his eyes wide open, and his face was filled with anger.
How could the waiter dare to stay longer? He couldn't afford to offend any of the people sitting here. He swallowed and whispered, "The little one is going out first!" After saying that, he quickly walked out of the box as if he were running away.
.
Seeing that everyone looked unhappy, Tang Yin smiled leisurely and said: "There are many rich people in the world, so you don't need to take it to heart."
"The other party is deliberately against us. This clearly means they want to stir up trouble on Tai Sui's head!" Shangguan Yuanbiao said angrily.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, but finally endured it and just glanced at Cheng Jin from the corner of his eye, indicating that he would check the other party's identity later.
Before Cheng Jin went to check, the other party took the initiative to come to the door.
Just when Tang Yin and others were about to leave, there was a knock on the door outside the room.
Thinking it was the store waiter, everyone didn't ask any questions and just called him to come here.
The door opened, and a group of people walked in from the outside, headed by a man in his thirties.
Not knowing who the other party was, the Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin and others stood up one after another and looked at them warily.
The big man smiled at everyone and said: "Don't get me wrong, we don't mean any harm, we are just diners in the next room, here to say hello to you."
"Oh!" Shangguan Yuan Biao's anger that had just calmed down suddenly came to his forehead again. It didn't matter that he didn't look for them, but they took the initiative to look for them. He snorted and said: "So you guys paid fifty taels of silver to listen to it next door.
Qu is the one who took advantage of me!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the recent people all changed. The big man at the head looked calm. He didn't pay attention to Shangguan Yuan Biao. Instead, he turned his attention to Tang Yin who was sitting in the middle. He smiled and asked: "I believe that your Excellency
It’s Mr. Tang Yintang, the governor of Pingyuan County. I was just joking with you just now, I hope you won’t be offended!”
Oh? Tang Yin was a little surprised that the other party could call out his name. He sat on the chair without moving, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"My name is Lu Fang!" The big man turned back and pointed to the people behind him and said, "These are all my friends. We traveled to Hengcheng and happened to catch up with the adults having dinner here, so we came here to visit!"
Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen and others were unfamiliar with Lu Fang's name, but Cheng Jin was stunned.
He had heard of Lu Fang before. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he was very famous and was considered a relatively famous ranger in the Feng Kingdom.
Rangers are also called heroes. They do not belong to anyone's control. They travel around the world and travel to various vassal states. They form their own sect. They claim to be chivalrous and righteous, but in fact they only act according to their own preferences. They are similar to those Jianghu people in martial arts novels.
Cheng Jin leaned next to Tang Yin's ear and whispered: "Sir, this man is a ranger and a member of our Feng Country!"
Ranger? Tang Yin is no stranger to the term "Ranger". If you talk about it, Yan Lie could be considered a Ranger during his lifetime.
Perhaps because of Yan Lie's relationship, Tang Yin suddenly became fond of people like Lu Fang. He stood up, waved his hand and said: "It turns out that it is Lu Junjie, and the visitor is a guest. Since you have traveled to my Pingyuan County, you are my guests."
, today all your accounts are mine."
Tang Yin's boldness and generosity hit it off with the temperament of the rangers. When everyone heard this, the anger on their faces suddenly disappeared and they all beamed with joy.
The ranger had a good face, and Tang Yin's courtesy also greatly benefited them. Lu Fang smiled on his back and said, "My lord, it's so refreshing!" As he spoke, he turned back and waved his hand, asking his companions to bring the gentleman playing the piano closer, and then said to Tang Yin
He smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I would like to drink with you at the same table!"
"Haha——" Tang Yin also laughed and said, "That's exactly what I meant!"
Seeing that the two parties had no intention of falling out, Cheng Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that he was afraid of the rangers like Lu Fang, but that the rangers were too annoying.
Rangers are basically headstrong people who do things according to their own preferences. If you offend them, it will be like being haunted by the ghost of an innocent person. Even if they can't defeat you, they will do things around you.
It is a headache to destroy something like that, and since a ranger has many friends, he wanders around and spreads public opinion very quickly, so it is easy to ruin a person's reputation.
