Zhenzhou Seafood Restaurant!
The several big gold characters were written by Zuo Pushe and Li Yi, the prince of Zan of the Han Dynasty. They were full of majestic dragons and phoenixes.
The two-story seaside buildings are all built of wood with antique carved beams and paintings. This place does not look like a restaurant, but rather like an academy where literati live. The original builder must have been a literature lover. It is said that the original owner later lost his official status due to a crime, and all his property was confiscated. Naturally, the restaurant was later auctioned off by the government.
Because the house is right on the edge of the Pearl River, one side facing the street has become the facade of the restaurant, and the other side facing the river has become a major scenery of the restaurant. This place was originally a good restaurant. The original owner must have been a bit elegant and did not want to be imbued with too much of a businessman's atmosphere, so he deliberately built this small two-story restaurant with style. Now it has become a real seafood restaurant.
It can be said that the vast majority of people in this era still do not have enough to eat. Even if the Han Dynasty has developed vigorously in the past two years, including agriculture and aquatic products, there are still many places where the economy and material are relatively poor due to transportation. Although it is said that as long as it is edible, everyone will use it as food. However, the diet of the Central Plains dynasty has always been defined. The remote areas of Lingnan were not civilized before. Even if they were slowly civilized later, they were imitating the Central Plains region. It can be said that everyone does not have a big concept of seafood.
Although various seafood products can be used as food, they are generally limited to people in coastal areas. Even some slightly affluent families rarely use seafood as the main course, let alone the staple food. Even if many places bring it to the dining table, it is still the food that Kuhaha uses to survive.
It is still not recognized by most people when it is specially brought to restaurants as a staple food or dish. Some people eat it probably to make up for the lack of salt. After all, salt in this era is still a luxury daily necessity. Therefore, there are no special cuisines and dishes for seafood cooking techniques and the promotion of seafood.
Liu Jixing invited Lao Wang out. Strictly speaking, Liu Jixing wanted to take advantage of Lao Wang. Naturally, Liu Jixing would not make calculations, but met Lao Wang.
Liu Jixing naturally would not believe that there were so many coincidences in life. In his current state, there was no need to worry about these things. He could just ask the people around him to find out the reason. After all, Liu Jixing's secret party is not a vegetarian, not to mention that the purpose of establishing the secret party is to give himself an eye and throat.
With his increasingly solid prestige, and with Yang Jiong and Wu Sihu by his side, Liu Jixing does not need to worry about these small things. I was still very happy to see Old Wang Liu Jixing, because Xiao Yuer was following him.
Of course, Liu Jixing had his own ideas and used Lao Wang's skills and knowledge of fish and seafood. You can bring Lingnan’s richest specialty, seafood! As an important food and a food that everyone can accept, it has been popularized to the outside world and even to the entire Lingnan region.
Lao Wang originally lived a good life by the seaside in Dongguan County, Zhenzhou Bay, and it was basically a relatively leisurely life. If nothing else happens, he should be able to live happily with Xiao Yu'er at the beach.
The construction of seaside ports and Dongguan County's development of coastal towns close to the ports not only promoted the smooth flow of roads from Dongguan County to Xingwangfu, but also greatly promoted the development of surrounding industries. It also aroused the interest of the villagers around Xingwang Mansion, because Liu Jixing implemented policies that greatly benefited the people.
With the development of the port, Lao Wang's fish steak business is getting better and better. Originally, according to his plan, it wouldn't take long to save up, and he was already half aboriginal. You can immediately allocate a piece of land on the shore and build a small house by yourself. Not only can you live on the shore, you can also live on the fish raft. From now on, I will try my best to find another in-law for Xiao Yu'er, so that I can live a good life with Xiao Yu'er.
However, he soon discovered one thing, that is, Xiao Yu'er was listless every day and often talked about Liu Jixing. Lao Wang then knew that the young man had already taken away his daughter's heart. Lao Wang is not an arbitrary or unenlightened person, and has experienced many twists and turns. He also loves Xiao Yu'er very much, so naturally he can't bear to see his daughter sad like this.
Lao Wang has always believed that young people like Liu Jixing who are generous and generous are either the children of rich families or the descendants of officials. Although he met him in disguise, he definitely did not come for his father and daughter. The two of them just met by chance. Lao Wang Still a little emotional.
At least Liu Jixing did not come to embarrass his father and daughter like some bully landlords, corrupt officials and evil gentry, and he actually helped him. This was something Lao Wang appreciated and gratified the most. Although he didn't know Liu Jixing's identity and knew that Prince Xing's Mansion was a big place, Lao Wang still had a faint hope in his heart. After all, someone as generous as Liu Jixing had never asked for anything, so Lao Wang still looked forward to meeting him again.
Although he did not promise Xiao Yu'er and said that he would take her to find Liu Jixing, at least Lao Wang did not interfere with Xiao Yu'er's thoughts. Later, Xiao Yu'er couldn't stand it and kept talking about Liu Jixing every day, and the man obviously lost a lot of weight. Lao Wang was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.
Who knew that this matter was known to the garrison guard of Dongguan County Harbor in Zhenzhou Bay somehow.
You must know that when Liu Jixing left, although he did not take special care of Lao Wang and his daughter, he had a deep impression on Xiao Yu'er. He had not thought about how to treat Xiao Yu'er, but at least for this girl, he was like himself. In later generations, girls who look like kawaii girls are still very popular.
So I casually mentioned to several of the main local officials who were waiting at the scene, saying that Lao Wang's good craftsmanship must be carried forward and protected. In the future, Dahan's marine and aquatic products will have to be passed on by people like Lao Wang. It's okay. For ordinary people, it may just be a favor.
You must know that these officials are all human beings. Although they do not have the opportunity to follow the emperor every day, they also know that the emperor eats fish steaks at Lao Wang's house every day. Of course, no one knows what he said, and no one dares to reveal the emperor's identity. So everyone can only speculate that there are even people who disguise themselves as fish steaks to get close to Lao Wang and learn about what the emperor said. After all, Liu Jixing would not say these words for no reason. The meaning and hints are reminders and imperial edicts!
After speculating and getting to know each other for a period of time, these people actually found out that Liu Jixing was very close to Lao Wang and his daughter, and that they even had a family-like relationship. They even gave Lao Wang gifts. For them, the meaning conveyed was It’s different.
These people speculated whether the emperor had taken a fancy to Xiao Yu'er. Although they did not dare to make it public, everyone had a tacit feeling. So naturally, after careful planning, these people began to take a series of actions against Lao Wang and his daughter. Normally, people would naturally approach without showing any trace. Although they were always arranging things around, they would not pay special attention to, arrange or disturb the lives of Lao Wang and his daughter, in case the two people found out.
After these officials learned about Xiao Yu'er's thoughts, although they did not know what Liu Jixing meant, everyone knew that the young emperor's aesthetics was somewhat unique and weird. Unexpectedly, without Liu Jixing knowing about it, he secretly sent people to Beijing to report to the Zhanhou Mansion.
Wu Sihu was mainly responsible for Liu Jixing's security affairs, so he naturally reported it to Yang Jiong first. Yang Jiong knew everything about the day's events. Although he could not interfere with Liu Jixing's life, he still went to see Wang Yu, the actual manager of the palace. Wang Yu actually didn't say anything and didn't take a stand on this matter.
Yang Jiong did not want people in Liu Jixing's palace to interfere, nor would he promote Wang Yu because of her status. With Yang Jiong's height today, he could completely ignore Liu Jixing's eyes. Yang Jiong was in a peaceful mood, but knew that Wang Yu was the most powerful woman around Liu Jixing. Since Wang Yu was not involved, Yang Jiong later handed over the matter to Xue Yongpi, the boss of the Ministry of Rites.
After Xue Yongpi found out that it was the emperor's business, Yang Jiong also instructed the emperor to treat it as a big deal because he didn't want others to know about it. He personally sent a special person to the beach in Dongguan County, and used a set of flower stands and words to persuade Lao Wang to open a restaurant in Xingwang Mansion.
Lao Wang didn't seem to expect that things would be such a coincidence, but Xiaoyuer just wanted to come to Xingwang's Mansion day and night, so Lao Wang had no choice but to go with the flow. Later, everything went naturally, and Lao Wang and his daughter came to Prince Xing's Mansion.
Seeing the small appearance and low investment cost, Lao Wang felt at ease. But the business didn't start as well as expected, and Lao Wang didn't get any pressure. As long as he does things according to his own ideas and requirements every day.
When Liu Jixing paid a private visit incognito, he was delighted to see Lao Wang by chance, but he also knew that it was not a coincidence that Lao Wang and the others came to Prince Xing's Mansion, so Liu Jixing did not say anything.
Yang Jiong accompanied Liu Jixing that day to conduct a private interview on public sentiment. When he saw Lao Wang and his daughter running the shop, Liu Jixing was particularly happy, and Yang Jiong knew that he had done the right thing. Seeing Yang Jiong's knowing smile, Liu Jixing did not ask about the process, knowing that his power had reached a certain level.
Liu Jixing actually doesn't need anything else now, he just needs his own mouthpiece arm, and Yang Jiong and Shi Wu are building it for themselves. Seeing this ending was good, and it also gave Liu Jixing the idea of developing the aquatic seafood industry in Han Dynasty.
Previously, Liu Jixing issued a series of edicts on diligence and frugality, and took the lead in wearing cotton and linen clothes in the palace, and auctioned off excess silk and satin, because the development of the Han Dynasty needed money too much. Although Liu Jixing was not short of money at all, Liu Jixing's actions caused everyone up and down to follow suit. A trend has been formed in the palace, which will naturally spread to the outside world.
Liu Jixing naturally does not want anyone to praise him. The soul's time travel still carries the memories of his past and present lives. In his heart, Liu Jixing still regards himself as a descendant. This kind of luxurious enjoyment is actually not what Liu Jixing pursues.
Eat well and drink well every day, put your hands on clothes and have food to open your mouth, what else do you want! As for owning the wealth of a country and being served by many beauties, this is something that future generations would not even dare to imagine. Liu Jixing was very satisfied and naturally grateful, so he had to repay the favor. This was Liu Jixing's usual principle.
Liu Jixing felt that he did not need to wear silk and satin every day, and the fine clothes and fine food would not bring much benefit. Therefore, Liu Jixing pursued the simplest life and enjoyed it in a way that would not make him uncomfortable.
This is the role of role models, and Liu Jixing actually praised several officials. It can be said that these officials all set an example by adhering to poverty and working hard in their positions. Of course, these people are not the typical people discovered by Liu Jixing, but the people found by the secret party in Lingnan after Liu Jixing gave secret instructions.
Liu Jixing decreed that leaders from all walks of life across the country should learn from them. Of course, Liu Jixing did not call on people to learn from them. After all, there are still many people who do not have enough food and clothing, and many people are still working hard to live. Liu Jixing constantly encouraged people and restricted officials. The whole country is taking action and everyone is supervising.
The emperor's actions set an example, which undoubtedly made the people around him dare not waste, let alone show off. In terms of diet in the palace, Liu Jixing chose ordinary whole grains as his staple food, and even less meat and delicacies. Therefore, behind the scenes, there are still many people who are accustomed to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and they complain both inside and outside the palace.
Wu Sihu followed Liu Jixing. It was indeed a long time since he had eaten meat to his heart's content. Not only was he greedy, but the women who followed Liu Jixing out of the palace this time were all very greedy. Seeing everyone's salivating looks, Liu Jixing couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
The left hind leg of a sheep was removed cleanly and neatly with one knife. The overflowing fragrance of the mutton made Wu Sihu's Adam's apple bulge while holding the tray.
"Although these two gentlemen don't care too much about food, they still have a lot of experience in the study of food! There are so many delicacies today, you might as well try them! Otherwise Wu Er will not have enough meat on one leg!" Liu Jixing Cao Caodao looked at Yang Jiong and Shi Wu who were sitting by the window near the river. Facing the embarrassed Wu Sihu, he laughed loudly and said, "A certain family doesn't want people to say behind their back that they are so stingy that they can't even eat enough meat." Got it!"
"You're the only one who's awesome! Who knows if people are embarrassed to say something about you!" Xiao Yu'er didn't give any face at all, his dark eyes rolled around and he said angrily: "I don't know what I'm going to use to fool people. ! You’re not stingy, you won’t even give me meat if you follow me!”
Since seeing Liu Jixing, Xiao Yuer's face has been radiant, with a face full of joy and joy. But for some reason, after seeing Liu Jixing, she couldn't help but argue with Liu Jixing again. She stood close to Liu Jixing, knowing clearly that Liu Jixing was enthusiastically grilling meat for everyone, but she still looked at Liu Jixing with a little pride.
Liu Jixing was not embarrassed. He saw Wu Sihu looking at Xiao Yu'er in surprise. He was also unconcerned. He held the earthenware plate in one hand and continued to slice off the meat from the sheep with the knife in the other hand. Each piece of meat is no more than two fingers wide and thin, and no more than two fingernails thick. After a while, there was actually a plate.
She handed it to Zheng Luna with a smile. This time she was followed by Princess Duan Suqin of Longchuan, Madam Xiu Pan Jinlian, Princess Yiping of Baiyi, Monarch Meng Yiren of Leshan, and Princess Meng Qingluan of Meishan. Everyone was wearing the same clothes. Men's clothing, all beautiful and unique. Seeing the plate of mutton in Zheng Luna's hand, everyone raised their chopsticks and tasted it happily.
"It really tastes good!" Shi Wu, who rarely spoke, actually spoke up. He looked surprised when he saw Wu Sihu also cutting meat with a dagger, but he cut off many large pieces and ate it with relish. Shiwu looked at Wu Sihu's every blow, almost the same size, and there was a smile on his face.
Yang Jiong smiled and said nothing, but he chewed carefully and kept nodding. I raised a glass with Shiwu and drank together. The two of them were not too picky about food, and rarely ate, but after chewing carefully, they were indeed very different.
"It smells so good! What kind of delicacy is it!" With a compliment, four people came up from the stairs.
When they came out of the palace, everyone changed into ordinary people's clothes. Liu Jixing didn't even have any bodyguards, and he was lazily wearing a pair of wooden clogs. Just imagine that with Yang Jiong and Shi Wu here, plus myself and Wu Sihu, how many people in this world can fight against them.
What's more, this is the capital of Prince Xing's palace. With its own decree, public security is the best since the Liu family took charge of Lingnan. If this is not possible, either the officials who manage Prince Xing's Mansion are negligent in their duties, or their own subordinates are acting in an overly and covert manner. It further shows that there are unstable factors, but it turns out that everything is pretty good now.
What's more, Liu Jixing came here specifically to see Xiao Yu'er. How could Liu Jixing be so arrogant? Not to mention breaking this relationship with Lao Wang. After all, Lao Wang is not a small fish. Liu Jixing will not arrange for people to impose restrictions, and naturally he will not ban the venue. He will also arrange for guests to consume freely. It was people like Liu Jixing who came in. On the other side of the second floor, there was always a man and woman and a maid there. They seemed to prefer the seafood cooked by Lao Wang.
The first person who came up the stairs was a young man in red brocade. He looked like a scholar in his outfit. He also held a paper fan in his hand, which was exactly the style designed by Liu Jixing. There is a jade stone on the crown of the head, and there is also a jade stone on the belt around the waist. He must not be an ordinary scholar. But one look at his slightly arrogant eyes, and the feeling that he couldn't look away when he saw a few people around Liu Jixing, made people feel that he was not a good person.
The women around Liu Jixing are really not great beauties according to the aesthetics of this era! Only the youngest Meng Qingluan is the most charming, even more attractive than the mature Zheng Luna.
But they were all wearing men's clothes, and they all had pink faces and red lips. This is extraordinary, they all look like handsome young men, pink and attractive, and they are alluring and whimsical.
The young man who came up was only in his twenties, and his face was quite good-looking, but the look in his eyes gave people the feeling of something, like a poor child who suddenly entered a palace full of treasures. .
Following half a step behind him was a lean young man in brocade clothes, slightly taller than him. The look on his brows and eyes seemed to be full of flattery towards the companion in front of him. Seeing his companion looking over here, he couldn't help but look over, a trace of jealousy flashed in the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but praise: "There are so many handsome men!"
The two people following behind them were two powerful servants. Although they were dressed as servants, they stood there with their hands behind their backs in a humble manner. They looked around calmly and calmly. They were really looking for power. They looked like they were born Everyone.
Liu Jixing didn't pay attention to their compliments or looks. He smiled to himself, then took a piece of mutton and brought it to Xiao Yu'er's lips. He smiled and said, "If it doesn't taste good, how about someone grilling the seafood for you for three days!"
Xiao Yu'er was a little excited. She knew that even the technique she was using was taught by him, but she still pouted her mouth.
"You're right! It's been three more days, no regrets!" Xiao Yu'er was a little proud and a little happy. How many people can understand the girl's feelings. Looking back at Lao Wang, Lao Wang looked at his daughter with a smile, shook his head and smiled freely, and a flower-like smile bloomed on Xiao Yu'er's face.
But he watched the little fish take a bite of the mutton and chew it slowly. Although his eyes were stubborn, he looked at Liu Jixing with warmth. Not to mention that Lao Wang was a little moved, even the women around Liu Jixing knew Liu Jixing's usual temperament. Looking at Xiao Yu'er at this time, I felt that she was very exciting.
I don't know why, but seeing this scene, Lao Wang actually looked at the two people quietly, feeling very warm and moved in his heart. I don’t know how many years I haven’t felt so at ease. Could it be that this comfortable peace is what I have been pursuing!
A waiter hired by Lao Wang below quickly followed him with a discerning eye. He looked at the guests and looked at Liu Jixing's side, making quick calculations in his mind. He couldn't help but said politely: "I don't know what you want to order. Although our restaurant has only been open for a short time, it is now quite famous. The chef is best at preparing various seafood, and the taste is absolutely first-class!"
The face of the young man in red robe changed. He didn't know what he was thinking. Looking at Liu Jixing and Lao Wang's father and daughter who were busy here, he suddenly pointed at Liu Jixing and said, "Is that young man also your master?" He looked at Liu Jixing's arms. His sleeves were rolled up and his trousers were rolled up, and his hair was pinned with a wooden hairpin, just like a boy from the countryside. Looking at Liu Jixing's makeup, his eyes were a little more contemptuous, and his tone was no longer so polite.
"Back to Mr. Wang, that guest is also here for dinner today. The chef of our restaurant is Master Wang!" The waiter pointed at Old Wang respectfully. Although he didn't know who Liu Jixing was, he knew that Xiao Yu'er had been there early in the morning. He was happy for Liu Jixing. Although he was a waiter, he still knew that Liu Jixing was at least friends with Lao Wang and the others.
Liu Jixing didn't pay attention to the young man's words at all. Looking at the look in the corner of Xiao Yu'er's eyes, he felt a little proud, but he didn't point it out. This clever girl is the young girl I saw in my later life. There is no scruple of women of this era, nor the weakness of women of this era, nor the scheming of women of this era.
Although I don’t know how Lao Wang taught him, I can’t help but sigh with emotion at Lao Wang’s success. Maybe ordinary people would dismiss a girl like Xiao Yu'er, and people who think they have status would not even pay attention to her. However, for Liu Jixing, he felt that this was the best gift God had given him.
Among Liu Jixing's current women, only Zheng Luna and Qu Ke'er may be the most similar, but neither of them is as unrestrained as Xiao Yu'er. Especially after becoming Liu Jixing's woman, Zheng Luna's temper became much more restrained, and Qu Ke'er became much more virtuous and gentle. They can no longer compare with Xiao Yu'er, because Xiao Yu'er regards Liu Jixing as a friend.
Liu Jixing was pleased, but he looked at Lao Wang and said with a smile: "Smell the smell and you will know that Lao Wang's skill in preparing these oysters has reached the level of perfection. The merchants and people from all over the world are so blessed! As long as this craft spreads out, and Prince Xing's Mansion will surpass Jiangnan and Chang'an back then, the emperor will praise you greatly when he finds out about it, Old Wang!"
"You, a humble citizen like you, can't guess the emperor's thoughts!" Before Old Wang could say anything, the young man in red robe who had just come up interrupted and stared at Liu Jixing in a daze. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on, come on, step away. !" He stood in the middle, separating Liu Jixing and Zheng Luna.
Liu Jixing was surprised and laughed in his heart. Seeing Wu Sihu coming over, he stopped him with his eyes. He stood next to Xiao Yu'er and looked at the young man in red robe, wondering which song he was going to sing. You should know that although Liu Jixing has not fought in actual combat and has actually fought against masters in the arena, his eyesight is already very different. It can be seen that this young man's feet are light and he is obviously just an ordinary person.
Yang Jiong and Shi Wu by the window had obviously seen it a long time ago and did not stop it. The two people actually looked at this side with smiles. You must know that Liu Jixing is the emperor, and no one has a temper. But what surprised the two of them was that Liu Jixing was not angry and stood beside Xiao Yu'er, smiling.
The two of them were suddenly stunned. It turned out that Liu Jixing, who had been squeezed away by the young man, because he was standing next to Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er might have thought that the young man in red robe was a bit domineering, so he actually grabbed Liu Jixing's left arm and looked at him nervously. Young man in red robe. Lao Wang on the side actually trembled in his eyes and his body shook involuntarily.
The two people's eyes trembled and they looked at Lao Wang at the same time. Lao Wang seemed to feel the two people looking at him, and his hand holding the oyster shell became more steady.
