Chapter 24: First Arrival in the Capital
"What the young master said is good, but this is not Dongping Mansion after all, so you should be careful in everything," Hu Yuan said.
"Don't worry, Ben Shao is not a brainless person, I just want to take this opportunity to get a good understanding of the forces of all parties, forget it, let's not talk about this, the banquet will start tomorrow night, the capital is coming, I heard that the night market in the capital is very good, why don't we go out for a walk?" It's too early to say that it's too early to go out and have a good time.
"Everything is up to the young master" Originally, the three of them followed Ming Jiutian to the capital to see it, but now when they heard that they were going to go out to play, they naturally wanted to go very much.
"Okay, bring the silver ticket and let's go" Ming Jiutian is also the first time to come to the capital, so naturally I want to take this opportunity to have a good time.
The four of them packed up and went out, this time Ming Jiutian was wearing a round-necked python robe, holding a paper fan in his hand, and the identity of the Ming family was hanging on his waist, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a personable young talent.
The only fly in the ointment is that there are three bags hanging on the waist in addition to the Ming family's waist card, and under normal circumstances, some spices will be put in the bag, and basically one person is one, but Ming Jiutian hung three, so it looks a little nondescript.
"The capital is really the capital, it's extraordinary, look at this shop, look at this pedestrian, it's really worth the trip" Ming Jiutian held a white paper fan in his hand, and let out his feelings while walking.
"Yes, young master, I heard that Baiwei Zhai in the capital has gathered the best chefs in the world, who can cook the best food in the world, and even the emperor often visits him when he has nothing to do, why don't we try it?" Hu Yuan said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, it just so happens that the rice water has not touched the teeth all the way, let's go" I haven't eaten since I got out of the car and Ming Jiutian, and I happened to catch up with myself and was hungry, so it doesn't matter if I go and taste it.
The four of them enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the night market along the way, while inquiring where Baiwei Zhai was, and walked for about an hour, and finally came to the downstairs of Baiwei Zhai Restaurant.
"A few guest officials, at first glance, they are dignitaries, I don't know what they need, our store has everything" Baiwei Zhai's little two greeted Ming Jiutian and others warmly.
"Our young master likes to be quiet, is there a private room?" Hu Yuan said.
"Don't hide it from a few guest officials, this queen mother's birthday banquet has invited a lot of people, and now it's dinner time, so..., hehe..." Xiao Er also said embarrassedly.
"My young master must eat in a quiet private room," Hu Yuan emphasized again.
"I really don't hide it from a few guest officers, the private room of our store is indeed full, it's really..."Xiao Er said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, Hu Yuan, since there is no private room, it's the same to eat in the hall" Ming Jiutian saw that since the private room was full, there was no need to embarrass the shopkeeper, just have a meal.
At this moment, a group of about eight or nine people, all young people in their early twenties, walked into the hall with great force.
"Hey..., Xiao Er, we are going to eat in the green bamboo private room upstairs, if there is someone, clean it up immediately" It was a young man in his twenties who spoke.
"Oh, Master Ma, look at what you said, the green bamboo private room upstairs has been reserved for you," Xiao Er said flatteringly.
"That's okay, pick the best in the green bamboo private room, brothers, let's go" The group was about to go upstairs.
"Wait, didn't you just say there are no private rooms upstairs? Besides, we came first" originally didn't go to the private room to eat, Hu Yuan was not very comfortable.
Ke Ming Jiutian said that it was the same in the hall, after all, there was no way without a private room, but now there is a private room inexplicably, there is no one who came first, but there is one later, Hu Yuan feels that this is too much, and it is obvious that he is bullying people.
"Yo..., where did this hillbilly come from? I also thought of eating in a private room, and told you boy, you should be honored to have a meal in the hall, and you should be honored to go to the private room to eat, it's just wishful thinking," the leading demon said angrily.
"Who are you?" Hu Yuan stared at the leader and asked.
"Haha..., I don't admit that you are a hillbilly, but there are still people in the capital who will ask me who I am, haha..., Xiao Er, you come to tell this hillbilly, who is this young master?" The leader looked arrogant.
"This master is the son of the official department of the court, Ma Shuhao Ma Gongzi, you can't afford to offend, go to the hall and sit down" Xiao Er finished introducing Ma Shuhao, and whispered to Hu Yuan.
"Ma Gongzi, right, disrespectful, do you know who this person is next to me?" Hu Yuan thought that since this Ma Shuhao was the son of Ma Chongguang, the secretary of the ministry, he should give some face.
"I don't care which pit he is in the stone, less here to affect Ben Shao to eat, otherwise don't blame Ben Shao is welcome," Ma Shuhao said arrogantly.
"Tu Ling, do it, remember, don't beat him to death" Ming Jiutian said lightly, Ge Lao Zidi, the first time he saw someone who was even more arrogant than himself when he was so big, he had to beat him.
Tu Ling didn't say a word, it was just a front flip, which landed in this group of people, and then began to bombard wildly, although there are also those who have practiced martial arts, but this group of sons and brothers have been eating, drinking and having fun for a long time, and they are about the same level as three-legged cats with martial arts, so after a few clicks, they were knocked to the ground by Tu Ling, and in a blink of an eye, there was already a wail.
"Hey, I said a few guest officers, you guys are in a big trouble now, hey, my table, my chair, it's all over, the shopkeeper can't kill me when he comes back" Xiao Er sat on the ground with a crying voice, and patted his thighs from time to time.
"Don't worry, the broken table and chair facilities, someone will come over to compensate for it, now I'm going to go to the private room called Luzhu to eat, just like them, pick the best one" Ming Jiutian shook the white paper fan in his hand, and had already taken the first step upstairs.
"Okay, okay, this time you're amazing, there's a kind of waiting here," Ma Shuhao shouted hysterically.
"Whatever you want, even if you transfer the Praetorian Guards in the capital, you have to wait until I finish eating" Ming Jiutian ignored it and walked to the private room on the third floor.
"Well, the private room on the third floor is really spacious and comfortable enough, and you can see the lake view of Bixin Lake when you open the window, which is really beautiful" From the first to the third floor, Wu Jianfeng pushed open the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside.
"Yes, only by dining under such a beautiful scenery can we be worthy of our young master's identity," Hu Yuan said with a smile.
"A few guest officers, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly" Xiao Er finished the dishes and walked downstairs.
"Well, what is this meat called, fat but not greasy, it melts in your mouth, not bad" Ming Jiutian took a bite of plum cabbage and meat, and ate it happily, and the unpleasantness just now was swept away.
"Young master, this is called plum cabbage button meat, it is the signature dish of Baiwei Zhai, if you are lucky, you can eat the dishes made by the proprietress of Baiwei Zhai, then it is really called a delicacy in the world," Wu Jianfeng introduced.
"So what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up and ask the proprietress to make a table, it's not easy to come here, so you have to taste it" Hu Yuan heard that the dishes made by the proprietress of Baiwei Zhai were human delicacies, so he must taste them.
"What please? The legend of the proprietress of Baiwei Zhai is particularly mysterious, and it is not enough to be rich to eat the dishes she makes, and even the current emperor has to make an appointment two months in advance if he wants to eat the dishes she makes," Wu Jianfeng said.
Click... Cluck..., just when the four of them were eating, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves downstairs in Baiwei Zhai, and the four of them put down the chopsticks in their hands, and the people who could ride horses in the capital were definitely not ordinary people, and there were so many of them, could it really be that the Praetorian Guards were coming?
Just as the four of them were thinking, the door of the green bamboo room was kicked open, and Ming Jiutian looked up, and the person who came was a young man wearing the armor of the Praetorian Guard, and next to him was Ma Shuhao, who had just been beaten.
