Chapter 42: A Mysterious Feast

Hearing the two breathing sounds that suddenly intensified, although they only disappeared in an instant, how could Dong Ku, who had practiced listening to the wind and distinguishing the position, hear it wrong?

Dong Ku quietly picked up the teacup, sipped lightly, and said: "Liu shopkeeper, it will take some time to sort out these, I will send the guy back in a while, find a shop to live and tidy up slowly, and taste the long-lost food by the way." ”

"Good! I'll arrange these, and I'll let Uncle Tie go to the right Fulaishun to book a room and go to the room, and wash the dust for Mr. Dong at noon. Speaking of this, Liu Ru changed his words and asked, "I don't know ...... Mr. Dong is here this time."

"Huh...... Dong's buddy can strike iron, and now he wants to return to his hometown, Dong has followed him for many years, so he funded to help him open a blacksmith shop. ”

"Oh......"

Liu Ruji said softly: "Let Uncle Tie do these little things later, Mr. Dong doesn't have to run, let your buddies follow, whatever you want, just buy it back." ”

"Then there is Lao Liu's shopkeeper, I'll go talk to the guy first, and stay first."

"Okay. Mr. Dong will arrange it first, and I will arrange the luncheon later. Liu Ruji did not stay, and sent off the guests with a smile.

Dong Ku followed the guy to the private room, and saw that everyone had finished eating, and was waiting for him with big eyes, so he said with a smile: "Eat so fast, there will be a big meal in a while, don't you have any stomach?" ”

"Shopkeeper, we have put on the mat first, and then we will open it to eat after buying things in a while." Huzi said decently.

After the guy left, Dong Ku sat down, picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, and said while chewing: "Someone will take you to buy an anvil in a while, after buying, come back and open it to eat, after eating, Huzi stays, Liu Zhong is responsible, and the rest of the people return to the mountain with the anvil first, pay attention to the tail on the way." ”

"Uh-huh."

A few people whispered.

After eating the steamed bun in a few bites, sandwiching two slices of beef and tasting it, Dong Ku couldn't help nodding secretly, this Liu Ruji is really as strict with the chef in terms of diet as judged at the beginning, whether it is the taste or the tricks put out, it is the same as the sauce beef that has been eaten in later generations, it is very delicious.

Before he could swallow the beef in his mouth, Uncle Tie opened the curtain and entered the house.

Before Dong Ku could speak, Uncle Tie hugged his fists and said: "Owner, you can't buy this thing here, there is only one blacksmith shop here, if you want to buy it, you can go to Mishan, you write down the things you need, and I will arrange for someone to go to Mishan to buy it, and I can come back tomorrow afternoon." ”

"I can't buy it." Dong Ku thought about it, this thing is not a radish and cabbage, who will buy this if you don't open a blacksmith shop?

"Okay. Then there is Uncle Lao Tie. After speaking, he turned his head and ordered, "Go to the counter and get a pen and paper." ”

"Uh-huh. Shopkeeper. ”

The duck responded and left the room, and in a short time, he got back the pen and paper.

Dong Ku wrote it in a few strokes, and although the traditional Chinese characters were troublesome, they did not delay his writing.

"Uncle Tie, this is thirty oceans, and I will trouble Uncle Tie to help my buddy open a room by the way, let's open the room." As he spoke, he handed over the silver dollar and paper.

"Owner, I don't need so much, I asked about the anvil, the full set is only two silver dollars, you don't have a bellows yet, two sets of four silver dollars are enough, plus the hotel, five silver dollars are enough." As he spoke, Uncle Tie picked up five silver dollars from the money pile, and pushed the rest back in front of Dong Ku.

"The rest will be for the brothers to drink, and after you are busy, Uncle Tie, you can watch the arrangement." Dong Ku said, pushing the silver dollar back again.

Uncle Tie's cold face did not fluctuate at all, he hesitated slightly, picked up five silver dollars and said: "Since the owner insists, Tie is not hypocritical, these are enough, thank you to the owner, Tie will arrange a place for the owner." ”

"Good! There's Uncle Lao Tie. ”

Dong Ku said, stood up and watched Uncle Tie leave.

Until Uncle Tie's back disappeared, Dong Ku was still recalling the two breaths in Liu Ruji's room in his mind. These two breaths are by no means Uncle Tie and Uncle Cheng, he is completely sure of this; It's not them, are there still two masters who are Liu Ruji's subordinates? This Liu Ruji also has a lot of energy, opening such a restaurant, there are no Japanese soldiers to make trouble, no puppet army to cause trouble, even the puppet army at the sentry post looks down on a subordinate, which can be described as strange.

In the middle of the sound, Dong Ku shook his head, retracted his gaze, and sat down again under the gaze of everyone, continuing to analyze Liu Ruji in his mind. After a long time, he used Liu Ruji as a foothold, and smoothed out the plan for accumulating funds for the future anti-Japanese resistance, and in the end, he still decided that it was right to make money from the enemy, and let Liu Ruji open a restaurant in Shenyang, Harbin, and even Tianjin and Shanghai concessions, as long as she is not a traitor and is really a simple businessman, she can cooperate; Even if there is a steady stream of funds in the early stage, you can maintain the cooperative relationship, and when you have a firm foothold, it is not too late to clean her up.

"Hoo ......"

At the moment when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door curtain, Dong Ku let out a long breath, quickly picked up his chopsticks, and grabbed a slice of beef.

When Liu Zhong and the others saw Dong Ku's sudden movements, they all withdrew their gaze on him, and each made a gesture to eat, but no one squeaked.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the guy who ran the hall entered the room, stood at the table and said: "The owner, Uncle Tie has arranged the room, Fulai Shuntianzi No. 1 and No. 2 rooms, in addition, the second shopkeeper has ordered, now serve food to this house, and please go to the shopkeeper's room, and the big shopkeeper will give you the wind and dust......"

The luncheon was very rich, Uncle Cheng and Master Liu, the head of the kitchen, accompanied them, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious; Liu Ru changed into a fashionable Chinese-style costume at that time, and the laughter like silver bells from time to time made the luncheon more relaxed and pleasant.

After eating, Dong Ku took a stack of prepared papers, went to the opposite residence with Liu Zhong and the others, who had already finished eating in the private room, and wrote alone in the room......

In the afternoon, Dong Ku recorded all the details, including the decoration style and the selection of ingredients for the dishes, one by one, and detailed explanations on paper.

These are all things that he memorized in passing when he was learning a huge amount of knowledge. He didn't have much opportunity to go to the big restaurant to taste these dishes, so he checked the information to satisfy his spiritual needs and fill the shortcomings of his mouth, but he didn't think about it, but he used it at this time.

Just as he was flipping through them one by one to see what was missing, Huzi suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Shopkeeper, Tie Ye is here." ”

Oh? This point is not enough for dinner, what is Uncle Tie doing here?

Putting down the paper in his hand, Dong Ku said, "Quickly invite Uncle Tie in." So saying, the man got up from the table and went to the door.

"The owner, the shopkeeper invites you to come over." Uncle Tie said coldly.

"Good. I'm just about to go there. ”

Dong Ku didn't care, turned around and picked up the stack of papers and took the lead to walk out the door.

As soon as he looked out, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a head on the left side quickly retracted into the room, his heart moved, stopped, took off the package that Huzi was carrying and said: "It's almost time to eat, beckon Dazhongzi and they will also go to eat, you don't need to bring this, just go back to the counter and settle the bill tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the kang, threw the package on the kang casually, took out the blank paper in his hand, put it on the table, ignored Huzi's inquiring eyes, and walked out of the door......

"Mr. Dong, I have a friend who wants to invite you to dinner, I wonder if it is convenient for Lu Dao......

Liu Ruji, who had changed into a kimono, put down the stack of papers in his hand and said with a smile.

"Friends?"

Dong Ku had several thoughts in his mind, and he knew that he had no friends here, and if it was an outsider's banquet, it might be Liu Ruji's backstage.

All right! You want to probe my depths, and I want to probe your depths!

When the thought flashed, Dong Kuha said with a smile: "Dong is an idler, how can it be inconvenient, especially if there is food, but I don't know where to go?" ”

"Mr. Dong, it's inside, please."

Liu Ruji smiled, got up and opened the paper door behind him to make way.

"Good!"

Dong Ku stood up, without the slightest force, and stepped into the room.

As soon as he entered, he realized that this place is also a living room, and the layout, like the room behind him, is also tatami mats.

Just as Dong Ku was looking at the layout of the room, the paper door behind him was gently pulled shut.

Dong Ku looked up at the gas lamp above his head, and then looked at the Chinese-style Eight Immortals table, and saw that there were a total of three chairs, which had already been arranged with dishes and chopsticks, and there were four plates of cold dishes; Dong Ku didn't stay too long, walked over directly, looked around, saw that there was no one, he was not polite, and sat on the guest seat.

At this time, Liu Zhong and the others were already sitting in the private room and eating, although it was not yet five o'clock, it did not delay the gobbling up of these big stomachs; In particular, the spicy fish hot pot is very popular, and in less than half an hour, it is already the third pot.

Liu Zhong and the others have already been ordered, that is, they eat wildly, eat whatever they like, and don't be afraid to spend money.

Of course, this order made the big stomach kings like Mengzi and Yakzi happily carry it out, even if they grew so big, they had never eaten such a delicious thing, and they were even more full of oil.

"Big brother, man, I'll have one of you in a moment." Huzi beckoned to the guy who walked by outside the door and ordered.

"Okay! East No. 3 Teppanyaki 1 ......"

The man dragged a long voice, shouted all the way, and left the East House.

Dong Ku sat for less than two minutes, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the paper wall, and then, from the opposite side of his entry, a paper door was opened, Yan'er walked in with a large square plate, and then, a strong aroma wafted into the room.

Dong Ku didn't speak, he took out the taster's pie and looked at the four dishes that were served.

This look startled him, only to see that among the four dishes, one is a bear's paw, one is the same flower fish in the Ussuri River, one is a small round piece of meat, like fish, and there is no incision, and one is I don't know what kind of fried meat is in the road, but it can be brought up with these three dishes, and it is obviously not ordinary meat.

Who's this? There is such a big deal, if this is placed in the future generations, this pair of bear paws and flush fish alone will cost tens of thousands, and it is not something that can be eaten casually.

Before the thought was finished, Yan'er had already turned around and left the table and took the other square plate outside the door......

Is it Japanese? Or is Liu Ruji herself from Japan's special high-tech, and today is her boss banqueting herself?

Seeing the other four dishes on the square plate, Dong Ku was a little unsettled. These four dishes are clearly exquisite haute cuisine, and if memory serves, this is a dish from the Manchu and Han full feasts, including the plates......
