Chapter 90: Wang Yi
Zhenzhou seafood restaurant!
A few big golden characters are written by the left servant of the Han Kingdom, and the emperor Li Yu is the emperor and the marquis, and the dragon and phoenix dance are magnificent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two-storey seaside building is all made of wood, and the carved beams and paintings are antique. It doesn't look like a restaurant, but rather like a academy where literati live, and the builder must have been a lover of literature. It is said that the original owner later lost his official status due to a crime, and all the family property was confiscated, and this restaurant was naturally auctioned off by the government.
Because the house is on the edge of the Pearl River, one side faces the street and becomes the façade of the restaurant, and the other side of the river has become a major scenery of the restaurant. This was originally a good restaurant, presumably the original owner was a little elegant, did not want to be contaminated with too much merchant atmosphere, deliberately built this style of small two-story restaurant, do not want to become a real seafood restaurant now.
The people of this era, it can be said that the vast majority of people are still not full, even if the Great Han Kingdom has been vigorously developed in the past two years, including agriculture and aquatic products, there are still many places where the economy and material are relatively poor because of transportation. Although it is said that as long as there is something to eat, everyone will use it as food. However, the Central Plains Dynasty has always had a positioning in its diet, and the remoteness of Lingnan has not been civilized before, but it was slowly civilized later, which is also to imitate and learn from the Central Plains, so it can be said that everyone does not have much concept of seafood.
This is because although seafood products can be used as food, they are generally limited to people in coastal areas. Even some slightly wealthier families rarely use seafood as a main dish, let alone a staple food. It's just that there are many places to bring it to the table, and it's still bitter food for life.
Deliberately brought to the restaurant as a staple food and dish, it is still not recognized by most people, some people eat it, it is estimated that it is to supplement the lack of salt, after all, the salt of this era is still a luxury daily necessities. Therefore, for the cooking skills of seafood, as well as the promotion of seafood, there is no special cuisine and dish.
Liu Jixing invited Lao Wang out, strictly speaking, Liu Jixing wanted to use Lao Wang, Liu Jixing naturally did not calculate, but met Lao Wang.
Liu Jixing naturally doesn't believe that there are so many coincidences in life, and now in his state, there is naturally no need to worry about these things, just ask the people around him, and you can know the reason. After all, Liu Jixing's secret party is not a vegetarian, not to mention that the secret party was established so that he could have an eye and throat for himself.
With his increasingly solid prestige, and Yang Jiong and Wu Sihu by his side, Liu Jixing has no need to be nervous about these little things. I was still very happy to see Lao Wang Liu Jixing, because Xiao Yuer followed him.
Of course, Liu Jixing has his own ideas, using Lao Wang's craftsmanship and cognition of fish and seafood. You can put Lingnan's richest specialty, seafood! As an important food, and a food that everyone will accept, it has been popularized and promoted to the outside world and even the entire Lingnan region.
Lao Wang originally lived a good life by the sea in Dongguan County, Zhenzhou Bay, and basically belonged to a more leisurely life. If nothing else, he should be able to live happily at the beach with Xiao Yu'er.
The construction of the seaside port and the development of Dongguan County near the port in coastal towns have not only promoted the smooth flow of the road from Dongguan County to Xingwangfu, but also vigorously promoted the development of various industries in the surrounding areas. It also aroused the interest of the villagers around Xingwangfu, because Liu Jixing implemented a policy of vigorously benefiting the people.
With the development of the portside, the business of the old king fish steak is getting better and better. Originally, according to his plan, it didn't take long to accumulate, and he was half an aborigine. You can immediately divide a piece of land on the shore and build a small house by yourself, so that you can live not only on the shore, but also on fish rafts. In the future, I will try to find another in-law for Xiao Yu'er, so that I can live a good life with Xiao Yu'er.
However, he soon discovered one thing, that is, Xiao Yuer was listless every day and often talked about Liu Jixing. Lao Wang knew that the young man had taken away his daughter's heart. Lao Wang is not an arbitrary and not enlightened person, he has experienced a lot of twists and turns, and he usually loves Xiao Yu'er, so he naturally can't bear to watch his daughter be sad.
Lao Wang has always believed that a young man like Liu Jixing who is a wealthy man is either a child of a rich family or a descendant of an official family, although he met himself in disguise, he definitely did not come for his father and daughter, the two of them just happened to meet him, Lao Wang still felt a little emotional.
At least Liu Jixing didn't embarrass his father and daughter like some bullies, landlords, corrupt officials and inferior gentry, but he helped himself, which Lao Wang appreciated and was most gratified. Although he didn't know Liu Jixing's identity, and he also knew that Xingwang's Mansion was a big place, Lao Wang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. After all, someone as bold as Liu Jixing has never asked for it, and Lao Wang is still looking forward to meeting him again.
Although he did not promise Xiao Yu'er, and said that he would take her to find Liu Jixing, at least Lao Wang did not interfere with Xiao Yu'er's thoughts. Later, Xiao Yuer couldn't stand it and talked about Liu Jixing every day, and this person obviously lost a lot of weight. Lao Wang was distressed, and he didn't know what to do.
Who knows about this matter, I don't know how, but it was known by the garrison of the Dongguan County Harbor in Zhenzhou Bay.
You must know that when Liu Jixing left, although he didn't take care of Lao Wang's father and daughter, he had a very deep impression of Xiao Yu'er, and he didn't think about how to treat Xiao Yu'er, but at least he still had a good impression of this girl, who was like a kawaii girl in his later years.
So at the beginning, he lightly mentioned to the local officials who were serving at the time, saying that Lao Wang's good skills should be carried forward and guaranteed, and the marine aquatic products of the Han Dynasty in the future will be passed on by people like Lao Wang. It's okay for ordinary people, it may just be a favor.
You must know that these officials are all human spirits, although they do not have the opportunity to follow the emperor every day, but they also know that the emperor eats at the fish steak of Lao Wang's house every day, and naturally no one knows what he says, and everyone does not dare to expose the emperor's identity. So everyone can only speculate, and there are even people who disguise themselves to go to the fish steak to get close to Lao Wang, and understand what the emperor said. After all, Liu Jixing will not say these words for no reason, the meaning and some hints are reminders and holy decrees!
After these people figured out and understood for a while, they actually knew that Liu Jixing was very close to the old king's father and daughter, and they actually had a bit of homely feelings, and they also gave the old king a gift, for them, the meaning conveyed was different.
These people speculated whether the emperor had taken a fancy to Xiao Yu'er, although they didn't dare to make it public, but everyone had a tacit feeling. So these people naturally planned carefully, and began to take a series of actions against Lao Wang's father and daughter. Usually, they will naturally send people to approach without a trace, although they have been arranged around, they will not pay special attention to and arrange and disturb the life of Lao Wang's father and daughter, in case the two of them find out.
After these officials knew Xiao Yu'er's thoughts, although they didn't know what Liu Jixing meant, everyone knew that the aesthetics of this young emperor were a little different and strange. Unexpectedly, without Liu Jixing knowing, he secretly sent someone into Beijing to report to the Warlord Mansion.
Wu Sihu was mainly responsible for Liu Jixing's security affairs, so he naturally first told Yang Jiong, Yang Jiong knew everything about the day, although he couldn't interfere with Liu Jixing's life, he still went to see Wang Yu, the actual manager of the palace. Wang Yu didn't say anything, nor did he express his position on this matter.
Yang Jiong didn't want the people in Liu Jixing's palace to interfere, nor did he elevate her because of Wang Yu's identity. With Yang Jiong's height today, he can completely ignore Liu Jixing's eyes. Yang Jiong was in a peaceful mood, but knew that Wang Yu was the most powerful woman by Liu Jixing's side. Since Wang Yu was not involved, Yang Jiong later handed over this matter to Xue Yongpi, the boss of the Ministry of Rites, to deal with it.
After Xue Yongpi knew that it was the emperor, Yang Jiong instructed the emperor not to let others know, and actually did it as a big deal. I personally sent a special person to the seaside of Dongguan County, and used a set of thought flower stands and words, saying that I would invite Lao Wang to come to Xingwangfu to open a restaurant.
Lao Wang didn't seem to expect things to be so coincidental, but it happened that Xiao Yu'er was thinking about it day and night to come to Xingwangfu, and Lao Wang had to push the boat along the river. Later, everything naturally went naturally, and the old king's father and daughter came to Xingwang's mansion.
Seeing the small façade and the cost of investment is not much, it makes Lao Wang feel at ease. But the business didn't start as well as expected, and Lao Wang didn't get any pressure. Every day, as long as he does things according to his own ideas and requirements.
When Liu Jixing paid a private visit, he was overjoyed to see Lao Wang, but he also knew that Lao Wang and their arrival at Xingwang's Mansion was not a coincidence, and Liu Jixing was silent.
Yang Jiong accompanied Liu Jixing to visit the people privately that day, and when he saw Lao Wang's father and daughter running the shop, Liu Jixing was extremely happy, and Yang Jiong knew that he had handled it correctly. Seeing Yang Jiong's knowing smile, Liu Jixing did not ask the process, knowing that his power had reached a certain level.
Liu Jixing actually doesn't need anything else now, it's good to have his own mouthpiece and arm, and Yang Jiong and Shiwu are building for themselves. Seeing this ending is good, and it also made Liu Jixing have the idea of developing the aquatic seafood industry in Dahan Kingdom.
Previously, Liu Jixing issued a series of edicts on thrift and thrift, and took the lead in wearing cotton and linen clothes in the palace, and took out the excess silk and satin for auction, because the development of the Han Dynasty needed money too much. Although Liu Jixing is not short of money at all, Liu Jixing's actions have made everyone follow suit. It has also formed an atmosphere in the palace, and of course it will naturally spread outward.
Liu Jixing naturally doesn't want someone to praise him, the passage of his soul still carries the memories of his past and present lives. In his heart, Liu Jixing still regards himself as a future generation, and this kind of luxurious enjoyment is actually not what Liu Jixing is pursuing.
Eat and drink well every day, stretch out your hands to eat and open your mouth, what else do you ask for! As for owning the wealth of a country and serving many beautiful women, this is even more unimaginable for future generations. Liu Jixing is very satisfied, and he is naturally grateful in his heart, so he must make a return, which is the principle that Liu Jixing has always been a man.
Liu Jixing felt that there was no need for him to wear silk and satin every day, and there was not much benefit from brocade clothes and food. Therefore, Liu Jixing pursues the simplest life and enjoys it in a way that does not make him uncomfortable.
This is the role of role models, and Liu Jixing also really praised several officials, who can be said to lead by example and insist on poverty and work hard in their posts. Of course, these people are not typical of Liu Jixing's excavation, but the people found by Liu Jixing in the Lingnan Secret Party after making secret instructions.
Liu Jixing decreed that leaders of all walks of life across the country should learn from them. Of course, Liu Jixing did not call on people to learn from them, after all, there are still many people who have not solved the problem of food and clothing, and many people are still struggling to live. Liu Jixing constantly encouraged people and constantly restricted officials. The whole country is taking action, and the whole people are watching.
The emperor's actions set an example, which undoubtedly made the people around him dare not waste, let alone publicize. Liu Jixing is in the palace is in terms of diet, he chooses ordinary coarse grains as the staple food, and the meat is even reduced. Therefore, there are still many people who are accustomed to living a life of fine clothes and jade food, and they have complaints inside and outside the palace.
Wu Sihu followed Liu Jixing's side, it is true that he has not eaten all the meat for a long time, not to mention that he is greedy, but I am afraid that the women who followed Liu Jixing out of the palace this time are all greedy. Looking at everyone's salivating appearance, Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Cut it with a knife, clean and neat, unloaded the left hind leg of a sheep, and the fragrance of mutton overflowed that Wu Sihu, who was holding the tray, was chopped up.
"Although the two gentlemen don't care too much about food, they still have a lot of experience in the study of food! Take advantage of today's many delicacies, why not try them to your heart's content! Otherwise, Wu Er doesn't have enough meat on one leg! Liu Jixing looked at Yang Jiong and Shi Wu who were sitting by the window of the river, and laughed at Wu Sihu who looked embarrassed: "A certain family doesn't want people to say behind their backs, it's too picky, and they can't even eat enough meat!" ”
"You're amazing! Who knows if people are embarrassed to say you! Xiao Yu'er didn't give face at all, her dark eyes rolled wildly, and she rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know what to come up with to fool people!" Don't be stingy, people don't even eat meat after you! ”
Since seeing Liu Jixing, Xiao Yu'er has actually been radiant, with a happy and happy face. But I don't know why, after seeing Liu Jixing, she couldn't help but raise the bar with Liu Jixing again. She stood beside Liu Jixing closely, knowing that Liu Jixing was roasting everyone with great interest, but she still looked at Liu Jixing with a little pride.
Liu Jixing was not embarrassed, he looked at Wu Sihu with a surprised look at Xiao Yu'er, and he didn't care about the fast knife like electricity, holding a clay plate in one hand, and the knife in the other hand kept slicing meat from the sheep. Each slice of flesh is no more than two fingers wide and thin, and no more than two layers of fingernails thick. After a while, there was a plate.
Smiled and handed it to Zheng Luna on the side, and this time there were also Longchuan princess Duan Suqin, Mrs. Xiu Pan Jinlian, Baiyi princess Yihuan, Leshan monarch Meng Yiren, and Meishan princess Meng Qingluan, everyone was wearing men's clothes, all of them were beautiful and moving, and they had a unique flavor. Seeing a plate of mutton in Zheng Luna's hand, everyone raised their chopsticks and tasted it happily.
"It tastes good!" Shi Wu, who has always rarely spoken, actually spoke up, and watched Wu Sihu also cut meat with a dagger, but he cut a lot of large pieces, and he ate it with relish, and he was also surprised. Shi Wu watched Wu Sihu go down every time, almost the same size, and there was a smile on his face.
Yang Jiong smiled silently, but he also chewed carefully and couldn't stop nodding. and Shiwu raised a glass to drink, the two of them are usually not too picky about food, and they rarely eat, but after chewing carefully, they are really different.
"What a scent! What kind of food is it? With a compliment, I saw four people come up from the top of the stairs.
When they came out of the palace, everyone changed into the clothes of ordinary people. Liu Jixing didn't bring any guards, and he was even more lazy in wearing a pair of clogs. Imagine that with Yang Jiong and Shi Wu here, plus himself and Wu Sihu, there are still a few people in this world who can fight.
What's more, this is the capital of Xingwangfu, with its own decree, public security is the best time since the Liu family ruled Lingnan. If this cannot be done, either the officials who manage the Xingwang Mansion are derelict in their duties, or their own subordinates are disobedient. It is more indicative of instability, but it turns out that everything is fine now.
What's more, this time I came to see Xiao Yuer, where will Liu Jixing be public. will not break this relationship with Lao Wang, after all, Lao Wang is not a small fish. Liu Jixing will not arrange people to restrict it, and naturally he will not ban the venue, and arrange guests to consume freely. It was Liu Jixing and these people who came in, and on the other side of the second floor, there was always a pair of men and women and a maid over there, and they seemed to like the seafood concocted by Lao Wang.
The first person who came up at the top of the stairs was a young man in a red brocade dress, who looked like a scholar at first glance, and also held a paper fan in his hand, which was the style designed by Liu Jixing. The crown of the scarf on his head is inlaid with a piece of jade, and there is also a piece of jade on the belt around his waist, so he must not be an ordinary scholar. But when he looked at his slightly arrogant eyes, and when he saw a few people around Liu Jixing, he couldn't turn his eyes away, which made people feel that he was not a good dish.
The women around Liu Jixing are really not big beauties for the aesthetics of this era! Only the youngest Meng Qingluan is the most charming, and she looks more attractive than the mature Zheng Luna.
But they were all dressed in men's clothes, and they were really all pink and red-lipped. This is amazing, it looks like all of them are handsome and beautiful, pink and tempting.
The young man who came up was only in his twenties, and his face was dignified, but the look of his eyes gave people the impression of something, like a poor child who suddenly entered a palace full of treasures.
Half a step behind him was also a lean young man in brocade, slightly taller than him, with bright eyebrows and eyes, as if he was full of flattery for the companion in front of him. Seeing his companion looking at this, he couldn't help but look over, a trace of jealousy flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but praise: "There are several handsome gentlemen!" ”
The two people who followed behind them were two powerful subordinates, although they were wearing subordinate decorations, they were not humble or arrogant and stood there, calmly looking around, and they really looked at each other, and they looked at everyone from their backgrounds.
Liu Jixing didn't care about their praise and eyes, he smiled to himself, but sandwiched a piece of mutton, sent it to Xiaoyu'er's lips, and said with a smile: "If it's not delicious, how about a certain family grill seafood for you for three days!" ”
Xiao Yu'er was a little excited in her heart, knowing that even the technique in her hand was taught by him, but her mouth was still pouting.
"You said it! It's another three days, and you can't regret it! Xiao Yu'er is a little proud and a little happy, and there are few people who can understand the girl's feelings. Looking back at Lao Wang, Lao Wang looked at his daughter with a smile, shook his head and smiled, and Xiao Yu'er had a flower-like smile on his face.
watched the little fish bite the mutton, chewed slowly, although his eyes were stubborn, but looking at Liu Jixing was full of warmth. Not to mention that Lao Wang was a little moved, but these women around Liu Jixing all know Liu Jixing's usual temperament. Looking at Xiao Yu'er at this time, I feel that she is very exciting.
I don't know why, looking at this scene, Lao Wang actually looked at the two of them quietly, and felt very warm and touched in his heart. I don't know how many years I haven't been so at ease, is what I've been pursuing is this comfortable peace!
The second child recruited by Lao Wang below hurriedly followed with eyesight, looking at the guests and looking at Liu Jixing's side, he quickly calculated in his heart. couldn't help but say politely: "I don't know what the guest officer needs to order, although our restaurant has been open for a short time, it is now famous." The chef's best thing is to concoct all kinds of seafood, and the taste is absolutely top-notch! ”
The red-robed young man's face changed, he didn't know what he was thinking, looking at Liu Jixing and Lao Wang's father and daughter who were busy here, he suddenly pointed at Liu Jixing and said, "That young man is also your master?" He looked at Liu Jixing rolling up his sleeves and trousers, and his hair was pinned with a wooden hairpin, like a country boy. Looking at Liu Jixing wearing makeup, there was a little more contempt in his eyes, and his tone was no longer so polite.
"Hui Gongzi, that is also the guest official who came to eat today, and the chef of this restaurant is that Master Wang!" Xiao Er respectfully pointed at Lao Wang, although he didn't know who Liu Jixing was, but he knew that Xiao Yu'er was happy with Liu Jixing in the morning, although as a junior Er, he still knew that Liu Jixing was at least friends with Lao Wang.
Liu Jixing didn't care about this young man's words at all, looking at the look in the corner of Xiao Yu'er's eyes, he felt a little proud in his heart, and he didn't break it. This dexterous girl is the young girl she saw in later generations. There are no scruples of women in this era, nor the weakness of women in this era, nor the scheming of women in this era.
Although I don't know how Lao Wang taught it, I have to sigh at Lao Wang's success. Maybe a girl like Xiaoyuer is disdainful of her for ordinary people, and she won't pay attention to people who think they have an identity. However, for Liu Jixing, he feels that this is the best gift from God.
Among Liu Jixing's current women, only Zheng Luna and Qu Keer may be the most similar, but neither of them is like Xiaoyuer, so unrestrained. Especially after becoming Liu Jixing's woman, Zheng Luna's temperament has been much more restrained, and Qu Keer is also much more virtuous and gentle. can't compare with Xiao Yu'er, because Xiao Yu'er regards Liu Jixing as a friend.
Liu Jixing was pleased, but he looked at Lao Wang and said with a smile: "When you smell it, you will know that Lao Wang's technology for concocting this oyster has reached the realm of perfection. Just wait for this craft to pass out, and then Xingwangfu wins Jiangnan and Chang'an back then, the emperor knows it, but he wants to praise you greatly, Lao Wang! ”
"The emperor's thoughts, how can you be a small citizen who has risen to the top to speculate!" Before Lao Wang squeaked, the red-robed young man who had just come up interjected, stared at Liu Jixing, who was stunned, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on, come on, you go away a little!" He stood in the middle in a daze, separating Liu Jixing and Zheng Luna.
Liu Jixing laughed in his heart, seeing that Wu Sihu was coming over, he stopped him with his eyes, stood beside Xiao Yu'er, looked at this red-robed young man, and didn't know which one he was going to sing. You must know that although Liu Jixing has not fought in actual combat and has actually fought against masters on the rivers and lakes, his eyesight is already very different. It can be seen that this young man is frivolous with his feet, and he is obviously just an ordinary person.
Yang Jiong and Shi Wu by the window on the side obviously saw it a long time ago, and they didn't stop it. The two of them actually looked at this side with a smile, you must know that Liu Jixing is the emperor, who doesn't have a little temper. But to the surprise of the two people, Liu Jixing was not angry, standing beside Xiao Yu'er, smiling.
The two of them were suddenly stunned, it turned out that Liu Jixing, who was squeezed away by this young man, because he was standing next to Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er might have looked at the red-robed young man a little domineering, so he actually grabbed Liu Jixing's left arm and looked at the red-robed young man nervously. And Lao Wang on the side actually trembled in his eyes, and his body shook involuntarily.
Both of them had trembling eyes and looked at Lao Wang at the same time. Lao Wang seemed to feel that the two of them were looking at him, and the hand holding the oyster shell was more stable.
