"The emperor gave the name Xinglongfang!"

There is no need for Zhang Shou on the third floor to raise his voice to pass on the good news, as the general person in charge of the imperial chef selection competition this time, but he guarded the table at the staircase on the second floor, and Lu Sanlang, who always pricked up his ears and listened to the above, had already announced the news loudly. For a moment, the wealthy businessmen of all parties on the entire second floor erupted into cheers after the initial moment of silence.

In particular, the heads of several guild halls such as Yangzhou and Suzhou responded positively at the beginning, so they occupied the central lot closest to the Xinglong Tea House, first built a bamboo building, and now while it is open, it is building a lot of construction at the back, and then by the way, they also buy a large number of shops in the vicinity for local merchants to deal in southern specialties, which all feel that this business is too cost-effective.

With these few shops alone, they can make a lot of money by changing hands!

And although Hua Siye received a lot of congratulations, and even those who were twice or even twice as old as him, they had to praise him for his insight with a smile on his face, and seized a good opportunity, so the Suzhou Hall took advantage of this to become famous, he had a smile on his face, but his heart was always heavy. Because he saw that the Yangzhou Hall was located at the head of the meeting, and it was the one who smiled the most.

Not to mention anything else, the chef Fang of Yangzhou Hall is not only already in the imperial dining room, but also the first noodle just now is said to have won the sacred heart!

When the last few dishes came up, the thought was all exquisite, and the taste could be considered excellent, among which was the chef who tried his best to recommend it from the Suzhou Guild Hall, but he had to sigh in his heart. No matter how much effort you put into it, forgetting that the nobles upstairs, including the emperor, have a count of what they can eat, that is the biggest mistake!

Moreover, when Hua Siye saw Jiang Dashao, who was the first to respond to donate to education, so he was also star-studded at the moment, and his heart was even more uncomfortable. He and Jiang Dashao said that they were in-laws, but it was his cousin who was not particularly close to him who married Miss Jiang's family, he only knew that Mr. Jiang was capable, but Jiang Dashao was mediocre, and now it seems that who said that mediocre talents have no chance to rise?

At this time, he was full of distractions and suddenly heard someone shouting and silencing, and as the surroundings gradually quieted down, all the people in the four places got up, and then he realized that he was afraid that the Son of Heaven had come downstairs. Although he bowed his head respectfully, the corner of his eye secretly glanced up, and he finally succeeded in seeing the group of people who came down.

I saw a handsome young man walking slowly behind a leading eunuch, looking forward to Shenfei, leisurely, at first glance, it was difficult for him to judge the age of the other party. He remembered that the emperor should have thirty-six or seven, but at this time, this young man seemed to be no different from a young man of twenty-six or seven!

Because when the Son of Heaven and his party went upstairs just now, he looked down and didn't dare to look around, but at this time, he couldn't completely determine whether it was the current emperor, but when he saw a beautiful girl walking behind the person, his eyebrows fluttered and danced non-stop, and the handsome and elegant Zhang Shouzheng was walking leisurely behind the person on the left side, he was sure at once.

Unless the emperor, where can this pair of people in the capital who are known as immortals follow them?

Although Fourth Master Hua really wanted to show himself on such a rare occasion, he knew that it was just a stupid idea, so he only dared to think about it in his heart. But what he didn't expect was that when he walked to the staircase on the second floor, the emperor suddenly stopped, and then turned his head to look at everyone behind him.

The emperor looked at the several nobles who had been blackmailed by Zhu Ying today, as well as Xie Wanquan and Tang Ming, who seemed to have just come here for a trip and made a cameo appearance, and suddenly laughed.

"A few of you, either you were knocked on a bamboo pole by Yingying today, or you didn't have any food, and you are all trembling and cowering there as quails."

The corners of his mouth curled, and he said with a smile: "I was knocked on a bamboo pole by Yingying...... In this way, Yingying gave me a very good thing before, and I will simply punish her for giving one to each of you. As for Tang Xie and the others, let Yingying go to his father's study to pick out two ancient books and give them to you, which should be the reward for being a judge today. ”

Being ripped off by Zhu Ying, the five Xungui surnamed Zhang didn't care about it, and at this time, the emperor even asked Zhu Ying for compensation on their behalf, and they immediately laughed. Zhang Jingzhou, the Marquis of Huaiqing, agreed: "Fortunately, the emperor is the master for us, but the ministers have a tight hand in the next few months, and they have to take care of their hearts, and it is not okay to compensate and comfort them." ”

Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong also smiled and said: "Thanks to the emperor's opening, the minister is waiting for Yingying's good things." ”

Zhang Shou glanced at Zhu Ying in surprise, and was wondering what kind of good thing Zhu Ying was dedicated to the emperor, when he was so shocked by what the eldest lady said next that he almost stepped on the air. Because Zhu Ying immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, it was a rocking chair that Ah Shou made and gave me, and I finally deceived Xiao Guan Qiu in his mansion and quietly made a tribute to you, how can you be generous to others casually!" ”

Miss, aren't you generous to others? When Zhang Shou was simply laughing, Zhu Ying spoke again.

"Your Majesty, you want me to give Huaiqing Hou Xiangyang Bo one for each of the five of them, that's not impossible, but you have to promise me, it is a drawing drawn by Ah Shou himself, if there is a counterfeit in the market in the future, then there will be a penalty for one, and two penalties for a pair! It's like if there is a good book in the market, someone will steal it, and this copy is also stealing! ”

It turned out that Zhu Ying had made a rocking chair for the emperor since Guan Qiu in Zhang Yuan's workshop, but in the final analysis, it was to prevent piracy?

Zhang Shou only felt that the brain circuit of the eldest lady was really strange, but when he saw that the person looked at the emperor seriously, he realized that she was actually serious, and he realized her intention to defend himself. Come to think of it, Zhu Ying took his jokes seriously. In order to prevent the heart he once gave her from becoming countless shoddy imitations, she actually planned to apply for the emperor's injunction!

"Yingying, in the public, you don't know how to be reserved." The emperor pointed at Zhu Ying angrily and funny, but seeing her frank and unrestrained appearance, thinking of Princess Yongping who likes to hide everything in his heart, he couldn't help but think to himself, one is too frank, the other is too subtle, these two little girls born in the same year, the same month and the same day can't complement each other?

Zhang Qiong and Zhang Jingzhou will be enough as long as there is compensation, and at this time, they naturally echoed Zhu Ying, one said that the folk crooked tendencies should be killed, and the other said that the reproduction should have been investigated. On the contrary, Zhang Kang, Uncle of Weinan, smiled and said that the government could manage it, and Linfenbo and Dingtaobo were coaxing on the side. It's not a refusal to make a fuss, and Tang Ming and Xie Wanquan are at a loss.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shou explained with a smile: "Don't listen to Yingying, the emperor can't listen to Yingying, just like the new textile machine can't hide, as long as the gadget she dedicated to you is released, it can't be hidden, and even if the emperor really gives a ban, he can only manage the capital, is it possible that he can still move the people to ban it in the capital of the world?" ”

The emperor nodded happily: "That's a good thing, they all say that orders are forbidden, how can it be so easy!" Zhang Shou, you are good, you are not as greedy for money as Yingying. ”

Zhu Ying suddenly stopped, and a Sichuan character immediately appeared on her smooth forehead: "Your Majesty, where am I greedy for money!" You are a full man who doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, Ah Shou is self-made, and every penny has to be broken in half to spend, how can he make the good things he thinks of with his heart cheaper than others! He is polite, and others can't be regarded as blessings! ”

Seeing Zhu Ying glaring at herself angrily while talking, looking like she hated iron but not steel, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Yingying, it's polite to say that I started from scratch, but in fact, I am poor, otherwise I would not have even calculated Zhang Chen and Lu Saburo's Shu Xiu. However, since the rocking chair was given to you, it is yours, am I still poor enough to sell it for money? Even if I give it to Huaiqinghou and the five of them, I won't be able to afford it. ”

Hua Siye listened on the side, although he didn't know that the emperor casually proposed it at this time, Zhu Ying jumped like a fried kitten, and Zhang Shou seemed to be what the rocking chair was that he didn't take seriously, but he was keenly aware that this should be an opportunity that he could grasp. So, seeing that Zhu Ying was sullen and the emperor was watching the excitement beside him, he immediately opened his mouth tentatively.

"The rocking chair that Dr. Zhang just mentioned should be different from the spinning wheel, and it is not a tool that can be used for spinning and other production, right?"

Zhang Shou looked at it when he heard it, and saw that it was Fourth Master Hua who walked out of the crowd in a hurry, so he smiled and said, "That's right, it's purely for leisure." ”

"That's right." Hua Siye had a bigger grasp in his heart, and immediately said with a smile, "Since it is not a tool that can produce something, of course the small people will not have the leisure to buy it back and enjoy it." Those who will use this kind of leisure furniture must always be above the average solid family, or even the rich and noble. ”

Sensing that everyone, including the emperor, was looking at him, he continued to say calmly: "Rich and noble families pay attention to face, and everything must be justified. Especially today, the emperor said that it was presented by Miss Zhu, and Miss Zhu said that it was given by Dr. Zhang. ”

"As a wealthy family, if you don't get the drawings from Dr. Zhang, and then ask a craftsman to make them, or ask Dr. Zhang to design and produce them yourself, then it will be difficult to get rid of the word imitation, spread it, and the reputation will not be good."

"And if it is a moderately honest family, just for the sake of pure novelty, then there is no way, and I dare not ask for Dr. Zhang's head, so it is inevitable that those pervasive craftsmen in the market will be cheapened. After all, they can still afford to spend a little money to enjoy a little money, so it doesn't matter if it's a copy or not. ”

The emperor immediately laughed: "Okay, it's just a small thing, you can analyze the Tao, but you are thoughtful." Those who can sit on the second floor of this Xinglong Tea House are all wealthy businessmen in the world, you can report your name to me. ”

Hua Siye took the risk to come forward, just for the emperor's inquiry, and at this time, he was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and said: "Student Suzhou Hua Si, meet the emperor." ”

The reason why he calls himself a student is very simple - don't look at Hua Siye as an authentic businessman, he was trained by his grandfather since he was a child, but he finally got a talent and fame!

And the next moment, the emperor suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are the head of the richest man in Suzhou!" Tsk, I've heard of you, not to mention that you are in charge of the family business at a young age, and it is rare that you can still dominate the shopping mall and make a group of people one or two times older than you deflated. No wonder you were able to say that little truth just now, and you have united a bunch of Suzhou businessmen to promote the construction of Cangzhou Port. ”

If it was said that after listening to the emperor's previous praise, Hua Siye was inexplicably excited for a while, then, when he heard the last sentence, he was like a basin of ice water poured on his head, not only calmed down, but even gave birth to a bit of a biting chill.

However, the emperor nodded faintly, and then never mentioned the construction of the port again, and even said to Zhu Ying with great interest: "Yingying, since you think Zhang Shou is too big-handed, what he gave you, how you like to sell it for money is your business." This Suzhou Hua Siye can see through it, you can find him to cooperate, how can you make no one dare to make a copy, he must be good. ”

Hua Siye has become a frightened bird now, and without waiting for Zhu Ying to agree or refuse, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Students don't dare to be the emperor and praise ......"

didn't wait for him to finish speaking, but the emperor didn't answer the words, and smiled again: "Lu Sanlang, you have done a good job in the imperial chef selection competition, there is hard work and hard work, and there is more merit, then according to what your teacher said, just reduce the number of people a little." I have been out for too long today, so I won't wait for your score to come out, so I'll go back to the palace first. ”

"However, if you want to say that today's chefs, the general skills are good, and the mind is also very exquisite, but the essence of the three words of home cooking, the two words of home cooking, what you want is to see the real taste in the plain. The one surnamed Song after me has a good mind and good craftsmanship, but he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot...... Forget it, looking back, remember that so-so counted him as the last to advance. ”

Song Juren sensed that the emperor's attitude towards him seemed to be a little disgusted from the beginning, and when he heard the emperor's evaluation, he originally thought that there was no hope of promotion, but it didn't matter. But the emperor actually instructed Lu Sanlang to directly let him be promoted, and he was immediately frightened.

With a numb scalp, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and just wanted to speak, but Zhang Shou in front of him turned around and gave him an eye knife, and the words he came to his mouth immediately swallowed back. Sure enough, he saw that Lu Sanlang agreed without the slightest surprise, and the old adults around him who didn't dare to think about it on weekdays congratulated him half-truthfully.

That's not all, Wu Ge Lao even patted him on the shoulder with a smile and gave him a ...... A ragged colt may make a good horse!

He didn't even know if it was a joke, or a sarcasm, or a warning at all!

It wasn't until he went all the way to the first floor, seeing that the emperor got into the carriage under the guard of everyone, and then the sharp cavalry camps everywhere gradually converged, and the carriage was escorted away with strict guards, that Song Juren only felt that his knees were weak. If it weren't for Ah Liuyan beside him, he would have been able to sit directly on the ground.

At this moment, he heard Zhang Shou's words in his ears: "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing, you can rest assured." ”
