Chapter 540: Li Shimin and the eldest grandson squatting to eat?
Cen Wenwen was amazed, and said with a contemplative face: "When did the Cheng family do things so steadily? And the sentence you just said is unruly and not a circle, even the old man feels exquisite and abnormal when he hears it, not only the words are concise, but also the meaning is profound, it seems... Seem... Ahem..."
He didn't continue, but everyone around him vaguely understood that the meaning behind Cen Wenwen must be that the Cheng family didn't understand literature and ink, and it seemed that he couldn't say such a beautiful sentence.
Cheng Wanwan's face turned red, and she said a little twisted: "Uncle Cen, don't laugh at me, this is a term that my niece overheard His Highness say." There are also rules for the wine shop that His Royal Highness has drawn up, my father is greedy for money and doesn't want to agree, so he has to sell it in large quantities, and his niece is very angry, and she fought with her father yesterday. The horse lance he used, the axe I used, everyone was half a pound, and my niece barely won half a move......"
Cen Wenwen was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on Cheng Wanwan's not beautiful face.
He suddenly sighed meaningfully and said, "It's a pity, your little girl has a personality like a man, and her appearance is some... Ahem...... old man feels that the wish in your heart is difficult to achieve! ”
Everyone was at a loss and understood what it meant, but Cheng Wanwan bowed his head gloomily.
She peeked twice out of the corner of her eyes not far away, and saw a slender and tall young man coming this way, the little girl was suddenly very nervous, and her hands couldn't help rubbing the corners of her clothes.
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Cen Wenwen shook his head again, a hint of sympathy flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly lifted the jar of wine, and then strode away, and the man was already far away, and a sigh still came out of his mouth.
Cheng Wanwan exhaled faintly, and for some reason felt a little sad in her heart. She's not ugly, but she's definitely not beautiful. In addition, the personality is like a man, and the name of the Cheng family is not very good, the girl is sixteen years old, and no one has asked about it so far.
Cen Wenwen left with the wine jar, but more and more customers rushed over here.
Needless to say, the people who came over were also coming for the high degree of wine, Cheng Wanwan exhaled a breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then was busy with a few small people.
As more and more people came, the rules of restricting the purchase of liquor stores gradually spread.
This shop was opened by the Cheng family, and neither the wealthy nor the ordinary people dared to provoke it, and everyone wanted to buy fine wine, so they had to go to other shops to find food first.
It doesn't matter if you look for it, you suddenly find that the food in the food court is really good.
For example, the traditional eating of rough noodles and cakes in the Guanlong generation, the food court has a different approach, first smeared with a layer of grease, then sprinkled with seasoning and refined salt, and finally carefully baked on the coals, which smells fragrant from afar.
In addition, there are many unheard of delicacies, such as live sheep slaughtered on the spot, and then used bamboo skewers to wear and barbecue, this practice makes the people of Chang'an call it, and hundreds of people gather to rob unconsciously.
There is also a secret pork offal soup, which has never been heard of before, just because pigs were not castrated in the Tang Dynasty, so it tastes a little fishy.
Pork is actually okay, the fishy smell is barely acceptable, but the pork offal is definitely not good, the fishy smell is particularly strong.
This secret pork offal soup has never appeared before, and it was only recently developed by Han Yue that the secret recipe was given away.
It's pork offal soup, but it's not soup. Because the owner of this shop is willing to put the meat, a big bowl of meat is not the soup, cheap and affordable, the portion is full, even if the eight-foot-tall man comes to a bowl, he can eat enough, and go away with a full burp.
There was a gangster Qingpi who wanted to run away after eating more people, and suddenly two Gundam men came up to him, smiled and pointed to the signboard of the pork offal soup shop, and said meaningfully: "This friend had better see clearly before leaving, don't look at our shop, which occupies a small area, but it is the most important popular industry in Hejian Wangfu." My prince has a bad temper, and he hates people who pay his debts the most in his life......"
The thugs shuddered, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Big brother forgive my life, I really don't have any money." ”
He looked at the big man pitifully, and said weakly: "If you don't get angry, you won't dare to eat the overlord meal next time." ”
The two tall men looked burly and mighty, but their manners were polite, one smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you always have discount coupons, right?" ”
The gangsters were stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, this is really there, yesterday the city was full of floats, and the palace maid threw a lot of discount coupons, and the villain was very bored on the street at the time, and he also had a few coaxes with others." ”
Dahan nodded, and continued to smile: "It's good to have it, take one to me!" ”
The thug nodded and pulled out a few discount coupons from his arms.
The big man took one of them and looked at it, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it is the discount coupon printed by His Royal Highness Xifu, the denomination of this coupon is worth one hundred wen, the front is the seal of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and the back is the private seal of His Royal Highness......"
He glanced at the gangster Qingpi, smiled and said: "You just ate a bowl of pork offal soup, and at the same time ate two rough flour cakes, which add up to a total of ten yuan, this discount coupon is worth 100 yuan, and the store will find you 90 yuan in change." ”
The thugs were stunned and muttered, "The villain eats and drinks for nothing, and even makes change?" ”
The big man laughed, nodded and said: "As long as you have a discount coupon, you can use it as a copper coin. ”
The gangster was surprised and delighted, but his tone was extremely regretful, and he said with annoyance: "It turns out that this discount coupon is really useful, I heard yesterday that this thing can be used as money, and the villain sneered at him at that time, alas, alas, I knew to grab a few more......"
His face was full of remorse, and he suddenly handed the remaining few discount coupons to Dahan, and said with anticipation: "Big brother is good, can you change all of them for me?" ”
The big man glanced at him and said solemnly: "Of course you can exchange money, but you are not allowed to waste it when you take it back." Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, don't you want to buy some gifts for your family? For example, if there is a beautiful girl in the family, then you can buy her a colorful head rope, if the old father and mother are still alive, you should offer some filial piety. ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" The thugs nodded again and again, their tone was a little moved, and said: "What the eldest brother said is that the villain must buy more things after changing the money, whether it is the younger brothers and sisters or the father and mother, this time I will let them have a fat year." ”
Dahan nodded approvingly, and took all the discount coupons and stuffed them into his arms.
He turned around and went to the store to take out a bag of copper coins, then patted the gangster's shoulder, then pointed to the store plaque, and joked: "Little brother remember clearly, this is Hejian Junwang's pork offal soup shop, you can come again after eating, welcome to visit next time......"
As he spoke, he handed the money bag to the thug.
The gangster's eyes flickered with emotion, and he suddenly bowed solemnly, and the corners of his eyes were faintly sour and moist. He hurried away with his money bag and went straight to the shop where he sold woolen clothes.
The two big men glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "The benevolent things of the Great Hall, I don't know how many people are infinitely useful, the New Year in previous years made people sigh, and this year's New Year makes people look forward to it." ”
The food court is a small house with a strange shape, this shop is the pork offal soup shop of the king of Hejian County, and the one next to it hangs a plaque with mutton steamed buns.
Mutton steamed bun is a famous western food in later generations, but it has not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and this diet has suddenly attracted countless curiosity, and many people stop to buy and taste.
But seeing a huge soup pot in front of the shop, the cook filled the mutton soup with a big spoon, and then grabbed a handful of mutton and threw it into the bowl. ”
said that it was ten and a half catties, and he had ten taels of grabbing just now, but the cook didn't seem to feel distressed, pointed to the cake basket next to him, and then said: "The cake is a penny, and I took the cake with the bowl and went over there to find a seat." The way to eat is to break the cake and soak it in mutton soup, the entrance is fragrant and refreshing, to ensure that the whole body is comfortable, the next ......"
The diners stepped forward one after another, each with a large bowl.
Due to the large number of guests, the seats in the middle of the food court are simply not enough, and some people simply do not look for seats, and squat on the ground with sea bowls at will, and soak cakes in mutton soup.
The scene is lively and gratifying, but unfortunately everything in the world is special, and no matter how good things are, some people are dissatisfied.
I saw a middle-aged man dressed as an official standing in front of the shop and sneering, this person was full of disdain and boredom, and looked at the people squatting on the ground and said: "It is said that it is the world's food, but it turns out to be just a bowl of mutton soup soaked cakes, and whether it is delicious or not, just looking at this starving ghost-like posture squatting on the ground, this official feels sad and lamentable......
He shook his head as he spoke, the disdain on his face became more and more intense, and he sighed: "Gathering crowds and squatting to eat, this is the same behavior as a beggar, and it is simply a loss of face for my Datang." ”
The cook glanced at him, then looked at a few richly dressed people behind him, but their costumes were very different from those of the Central Plains, and suddenly said coldly: "Your Excellency is not an official of Honglu Temple?" ”
Honglu Temple is a special yamen of the Tang Dynasty, mainly responsible for entertaining envoys from various countries, and at the same time managing Buddhism, Taoism and religion, but also cooperating with the Ministry of Rites to determine the etiquette, not only great power, but also glory extraordinary.
The official's chest straightened, and he said proudly: "You guessed well, this official is the master of Honglu Temple." ”
He suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, and said proudly: "These are the envoys of the Western Regions, and this time they came to Chang'an to be in charge of this official. I originally wanted the envoys to see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but you lost the face of the Tang Dynasty by your mutton steamed bun shop, alas, the official really regretted bringing them here, I should invite them to Qujiang to enjoy the scenery......"
The cook watched coldly, knocked the soup pot with a big spoon in his hand, and said indifferently: "It turned out to be a beard from the Western Regions, as an official of Honglu Temple, your Excellency does not want to praise the people of your country, but criticizes the Tang Dynasty in front of a group of beards, I estimate that you will not be an official for long, maybe you will have to go to prison one day." ”
The official was furious, pointed to the people in a place and said: "Just with these mud legs squatting and eating, they are also worthy of letting this official go to prison and lose his office?" Who do you think you are, you're just a cook. ”
There was a sudden cold snort from the crowd on the ground, but when he saw a person slowly standing up from the ground, he was also holding a coarse porcelain sea bowl in his hand, which was full of mutton steamed buns, and said indifferently to the official: "What's wrong with squatting and eating?" I also squatted to eat just now, do you feel ashamed of me? ”
The official was dumbfounded, and the next moment sweat was pouring from his forehead, dense and trickling down.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
He looked at Li Shimin stupidly, and subconsciously looked at the coarse porcelain bowl in the emperor's hand.
The emperor squatted on the ground to eat?
What kind of statement is this?
Looking to the side, I suddenly found that there was a woman squatting in the crowd, although she was wearing a simple cloth dress, but she couldn't hide her grace and luxury.
The corners of the official's eyes twitched again, and he said in horror: "The queen mother? You're even squatting with the people......"
This thing only felt that his head was dazed, and his scalp was numb for a while.
