Chapter 286: God decides In order to reflect the importance of scholars, Yangzhou Jixian Hall was built in the best location in the city, on the site of the original Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
It is very close to the Yangzhou Government Office and the headquarters of Huaiyang Commercial House.
Because the surrounding area is extremely prosperous, almost every three or five steps, you can see a restaurant with various lanterns hanging on the roadside.
Each one is decorated with splendor and splendor. .
"These Yangzhou people are so extravagant that they only crawled out of the ruins within a few days and then they started to live in drunken dreams again."
Liu Bowen looked at it and secretly sighed in his heart.
It is very shameful for the local people to behave like nouveau riche.
And the waiter in charge of soliciting customers at the door of the restaurant was obviously very familiar with Zhu Chongjiu and others.
When they saw the general manager walking past his door, they neither avoided nor knelt down to salute.
Instead, they each raised their voices and shouted louder and louder, "Bass, authentic Songjiang four-gill bass, just transported from the river." , genuine goods at reasonable prices, no deception.”
"Wine-cooked white fish, descendants of the royal chefs of the Song Dynasty personally cook it.
Mr.
Chengzhai personally inscribed the name, and Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty ordered it as a once-in-a-kind dish" Note 1 "Wan Ling once tasted the water shield soup made with 500-year-old secret method and will never forget it for the rest of his life."
Note 2 The last sentence was so outrageous that Luo Ben, the magistrate of Yangzhou, felt blushing.
He couldn't help but glare at the waiter and cursed with a smile, "If you sell vegetable soup, you should sell vegetable soup.
Don't talk nonsense.
Mr.
Wanling has a total of It’s less than three hundred years since he passed away.”
"Sir, you don't know something."
Since the waiter dared to show off at the entrance of Jixian Hall, he had some valuable information.
He immediately made a long bow and retorted with a smile, "These water shields and sea bass are not famous because of Mr.
Wanling's praise.
Before Mr.
Wanling, they were already famous delicacies in Huaihe River.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang paid their respects Lushan only ordered these two dishes.
Not only did An Lushan eat them all, he even hid the spoon in his arms and secretly took it out of the palace, hoping to lick it every day. , recalling the taste.”
"Bah!"
Robben was disgusted when he heard what he said, but he couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "I said you were talking nonsense, and you went even further.
No matter how vulgar An Lushan is, he is still the governor of the Three Towns.
How can he not even have a meal?"
Not letting go of the spoons.”
"This is not completely nonsense."
Liu Ji listened with interest and shook his head with a smile.
In the Yongcheng Collection of Immortals of Japan, there is indeed a saying that Emperor Xuanzong gave Anlu Mountain "Jin Ping to take off the rhinoceros head and spoon".
It’s just a gift, not a steal.”
When the waiter heard this, he immediately became energetic and followed Liu Ji's words loudly, "Of course An Lushan is shameless.
He steals spoons while eating.
Our Emperor of the Tang Dynasty cannot be as knowledgeable as him, so of course he goes along with the flow and gives him another gift.
A whole set of tableware.
Who knew that what An Lushan really wanted to steal was not the tableware, but the dishes contained in the tableware, and the emperor's wife."
"Ahaha, haha, hahahaha" Liu Ji was amused and smiled, looking at Robben, overjoyed.
The prefect Luo Ben had also read the notebook novels of Du Guangting of the Tang Dynasty, and knew that there was indeed a passage in it about the story of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty giving tableware to An Lushan.
So I couldn't tell the difference, so I had to smile at the waiter, shake my head, and scold loudly, "Fuck you, you waiter, you can force me into anything.
Okay, then inform your shopkeeper, he is on the second floor.
Open a private room for me.

The chief manager will lend you your place today and treat your guests to white fish and water shield soup."
"Hey, my lord, please ask the private room on the second floor to be cleaned up early in the morning.
It is expected that distinguished guests will come today.
This is not possible."
"Go, hurry up and inform the shopkeeper about the food preparation.
Stop bragging.
If you brag again, the push-back diagram will become an ancestral secret in your family."
Robben glared at the waiter and interrupted with a smile.
"Don't tell me, my surname is Yuan.
My ancestor must have something to do with Yuan Tiangang."
The waiter ran in while playing dumb, "Shopkeeper, come out quickly, the general manager is here.
The chief executive has come to taste our water shield and white fish."
"Here comes the general manager."
Three or four guys who were about the same age as the waiting waiter ran out together and shouted at the top of their lungs, lest the passers-by and colleagues around them wouldn't hear.
This was an obvious act of taking advantage of the situation, which made Liu Bowen frown secretly.
However, in Zhu Chongjiu's memory, it was only natural for those political figures in later generations to promote products for their own businesses.
So, after smiling, I walked up the steps.
I don't care what the hotel guys say next.
Xu Hongsan, who was following behind, quietly winked at the guards, and immediately, some of the smartest ones rushed to the kitchen.
There are also a number of agile guards who occupy key positions at the door, windows, and adjacent streets to prevent any assassins sent by the Mongolian Yuan court from taking advantage of the opportunity.
The guests who were eating in the tavern immediately felt uncomfortable when they saw him.
But seeing that the guards, apart from being on high alert, did not do anything to disturb the people, things gradually became quiet again.
Some of the brave ones even took the opportunity to secretly look towards the stairs, so that the next time Zhu Fozi's figure appeared from there, they could take a few more glances, so that they could have more bragging rights in front of their companions in the future.
Since Zhu Chongjiu, the general manager who had taken advantage of his power, didn't care about the restaurant's speculation, Liu Ji, Zhang Yi, and Song Ke could only do as they pleased.
Under Shi Naian's guidance, we sat down in a private room on the second floor facing the backyard.
Before I could see the furnishings in the room clearly, the waiter had already placed a pot of boiling water and several clean and beautiful tea sets.
"General Manager, your original Mingqian New Green", the waiter was very courageous, and trembled loudly while making tea for the guests, "The little master is looking forward to your patronage one day, and has prepared it in the shop a long time ago.
It has never been opened.
Please comment on it.
How good is Xiaoren's cooking method?"
"As long as it's new tea, it won't taste too bad no matter how you brew it."
Zhu Bayi picked up the thin white porcelain cup, looked inside for a few times, and responded with a smile.
Because there is no chemical fertilizer, the shape of the tea leaves looks a bit small and the color is much lighter than the Mingqian tea of later generations.
But the taste is fresher, and after one sniff, you will feel completely transformed.
"Huaiyang's business is in its infancy, so we have to make do with the simple things and invite the three of us to have a simple meal outside."
He raised the tea cup to the guests and smiled humbly, "Don't blame me for being disrespectful to these three distinguished guests."
For Liu Ji, eating out at this moment is far easier than receiving a banquet in the Grand Manager's Mansion.
At least, after eating and wiping his mouth and leaving Yangzhou, he didn't care that he failed to live up to the hospitality of General Manager Zhu.
Therefore, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and responded: "The general manager's words are serious.
Even the waiter can speak clearly.
How shameful and shameless is it for us, how virtuous and capable, to be treated with such courtesy by the general manager.
I'm really ashamed, ashamed. " As soon as he finished speaking, Song Ke immediately took it over and added loudly, "The General Manager is indeed serious in his words.
Song came to join in the hope that he could have a happy fight with the Tatars under the General Manager's account.
It’s not about begging for food and drink, so if you have a full meal, you won’t feel humble.
If you follow the chief steward and drink the blood of the Huns, your life will be more worthwhile.”

"The general manager doesn't think we are mediocre, so he invites you here.
Zhang is not that arrogant, how dare he be picky?"
Zhang Yi followed Song Ke and responded with raised hands, Three people, actually have three attitudes.
There is a clear distinction between them Note 1: Mr.
Chengzhai, the great poet Yang Wanli, has a special description of Huaibai fish in his works.
Before Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty fled south, he never forgot to eat and drink in Yangzhou City and taste Huaiyang delicacies.
Note 2: Mr.
Wan Ling, the famous poet Mei Yaochen, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem specifically mentioning water shield and Huai fish
