The style of Fu Lai Tea House also has some foreign style from the Western Regions. When you walk in, the waiting room inside also has different costumes, most of which correspond to the style of the service private rooms.
When Sheng Yuan and Anyu came over, the classic private room was already full.
Anyu didn't want her to give in. He was thinking about changing places when he saw Sheng Yuan pointing to the seat by the window and said quickly, "Let's go there. You can see the scenery and watch the excitement at the same time."
"That's fine." Anyu threw a dime towards the waiter with a smile, "I'll reward you by bringing the new snacks from your teahouse quickly."
The waiter grabbed the money and responded quickly.
After a while, dozens of plates of new snacks filled the table.
Xuan soft baked cakes, pastry candies, cheese crispy balls, frozen tea fruit, sandwich soft buns, jam layer jelly... are all new products that have not been seen before. When paired with the corresponding tea, milk tea, fruit tea, they taste really good. It has a unique flavor.
"It tastes good, but you can't eat too much. It's not as delicious as our traditional Dachu dim sum. Even Qianqi's unique boat snacks are more refreshing than these!"
Anyu took a few bites and felt that the special snacks from the Western Regions and overseas were more novel than anything else.
"The crispy and fragrant ones are all good," Sheng Yuan said. After tasting each one, she put down her chopsticks and only drank the sour fruit tea. She refused to take another sip of the milk tea.
"Then let's go to a restaurant for dinner later." Anyu was quite sure of Sheng Yuan's food intake. Just like this, one bite was only half a plate, which was not enough.
"Okay." Sheng Yuan was thinking about the whole fish feast made by that restaurant.
After hearing this, Anyu hurriedly said: "I remember the restaurant has delivery, why don't we order it and let them deliver it?"
Just as Sheng Yuan was about to respond, she suddenly remembered that this was the lobby and it was too conspicuous to do so, so she couldn't help but wave her hand.
Just as she was about to elaborate, there was suddenly a burst of lively noise. She reflexively looked towards the source of the sound and saw a dozen scholars in rich and luxurious clothes walking in.
These people were talking as they walked, and each person's voice was not too loud, but when gathered together, it somewhat challenged the hearing tolerance of others.
"Have you heard? People from the Nanyuan Army came to Beijing and said they were suing the imperial merchants for colluding with officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to pass off substandard goods and tampered with the grain and grass logistics supplies."
"It seems that the third-rank official of the Nanyuan Army came to Beijing and said that he wanted to ask the Holy Lord for an explanation. It is said that he has already handed over the seal to the General Affairs Department."
Hearing them mention the General Affairs Office, Anyu immediately looked at Shengyuan.
Sheng Yuan shook her head. She had never heard of this incident in the department, and she had never seen the memorial submitted by the Nanyuan Army Chief.
"Could it be the left counselor?" Anyu remembered that Sheng Yuan said that the left and right counselors were solely responsible for screening and arranging memorials. Their superiors were only responsible for important matters, and their subordinates were only responsible for copying orders.
Sheng Yuan did not shake her head this time, and she was not sure. Although the left counselor and the right counselor had the same rank, in actual work, the status of the left counselor was indeed higher than that of the right counselor.
If the other party hid it from her... it's not impossible.
However, this matter cannot be concluded easily, it is better to listen to it again.
"Third-grade officials sound like they are not low, but after all they are military commanders, not as good as civil servants! Especially in Kyoto, even a fifth-grade official can show off to a third-grade civilian official from outside the capital, let alone a Qianshi!"
"You can't say that. Our great Chu Hai Yan He Qing owes most of the credit to the stability of the front line and the absence of war, so that we can live and produce with peace of mind. This is indeed the credit of the military attache."
"What can you do if you have merit? It also depends on what the court officials think. How many gentry outside have nothing to do with the ministers? Their backers are in the court, so who can do anything?"
"Hush! How can you say this directly?!"
"It's not uncommon for wealthy gentry to flee local officials, and I'm afraid the military attache is not even aware of them! Don't you see, those officials have been hanging around the General Secretary and the Dali Temple all day long, but in the end, they were sent away? "
"That's pitiful. My cousin who worked in the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of War's Arsenal, the Saddle and Bridle Bureau, and the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Works saw the pieces of armor he brought. They were indeed jerry-rigged. I had already tried my best to do it, but..."
"If the good military supplies are taken away and left as inferior, then... where is the original military supplies?"
Everyone was guessing loudly when suddenly another person ran in panting!
"Brother Liang, Brother Yan... go and take a look. That minister wrote a mocking poem on the wall outside the General Secretary's door!"
