Zhang Hong, another person named Zhang Hong appeared in front of him. Xu Yunyan had deep resentment towards this name.
It wasn't because Zhang Hong betrayed him.
Everyone has their own choice, and Wu Xu Yunyan will not restrict other people's choices.
When another Zhang Hong appeared in front of him, Xu Yunyan was still quite cautious about Zhang Hong.
Seeing Zhang Hong carefully telling himself here, he was born and raised in Chang'an. His family was poor since he was a child, and he wanted to study but had no chance.
Now that I am older, I can only give this opportunity to my juniors, and I will try my best to support my family.
Seeing Zhang Hong, who was struggling so hard just to make his family live a better life, Xu Yunyan suddenly felt warm in his heart.
Isn't this the Tang Dynasty they are fighting for? The purpose is to ensure that they have enough to eat, are warmly clothed, have enough food and clothing, and that their children can receive education.
Seeing Zhang Hong squirming here, Xu Yunyan said something out of nowhere.
"Is there any more food? Make me one to try."
"Yes, yes."
Zhang Hong may have prepared in a hurry and arrived late, or he may not be confident in Zhang Hong's cooking skills, so he didn't sell many dishes.
Not long after, Zhang Hong's specialty dish was cooked and brought to Xu Yunyan on the table. As Zhang Hong's dish was served, Xu Yunyan took out a pair of chopsticks next to him and smiled at Zhang Hong, and then Let’s eat here.
But as soon as the food was in his mouth, Xu Yunyan's eyes lit up.
"This stir-fry is quite good."
After Xu Yunyan praised him half-jokingly, Zhang Hong scratched his head.
"Poor people don't have much to eat, and they don't know how to add anything. They just rely on the original taste of this dish."
"Yes, the original flavor, this is the most delicious."
While I was doing my homework, I looked at him and suddenly asked Zhang Hong as if he had thought of some good way to make money.
"Is there anyone else at home? I mean the kind who have more free time."
After Zhang Hong asked Xu Yunyan, although he didn't know what he meant, he still said it here.
"Yes, yes! There are still people at home. My half-grown boy can also clean tables and chairs, and there is also a brother who has weak legs and feet."
"Oh, that's right. Is your brother literate?"
Zhang Hong is very proud of his brother.
"Literacy. In order to make my brother literate, we turned our already poor family into this state."
When it came to making his brother literate, Zhang Hong didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he was very happy, as if no matter how poor or tired he was, as long as someone in his family was literate, he would be happy.
Seeing him like this, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but ask.
"Then I don't know why your brother has legs and feet?"
"I'm sick, but general, don't worry, it's not contagious."
Xu Yunyan smiled, "That's not what I meant."
At this time, many diseases cannot be detected by ordinary doctors.
But there is nothing suspicious about this family's innocence.
Xu Yunyan said here immediately.
"I actually intend to build a restaurant. You brother, who is well-educated, will be the shopkeeper, collect money and settle accounts. You are a good cook. You can work as a cook in the back kitchen and hire a few trustworthy waiters to serve the dishes. I wonder what brother Zhang Hong thinks of delivering food?"
This sentence "brother" moved Zhang Hong so much that he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Sir, if you allow me to make money from your business, I am already satisfied. If building another restaurant can solve the livelihood of my family, I will wait here to thank you, sir."
Zhang Hong said that he was going to kowtow to Xu Yunyan, but Xu Yunyan looked at him and said sternly.
"Stand up, there is gold under my knees. All of this is due to your skills. The food you cook is also quite delicious. Otherwise, I will have free time tomorrow."
But after saying this, Xu Yunyan scratched his head here again, "Tomorrow will be around this time when I have free time. You can choose a store at other times. When I am free, we will go take a look and talk about the price. Do you think this is good?" ?”
This moment made Hong cry with joy here.
"Okay, okay, general, whatever you say will be what it is. I'll go find a store now and find the most affordable one for the general."
After once again having such a pleasant conversation with the new Zhang Hong, Xu Yunyan was about to leave, but still seemed to have thought of something and turned around to look at the new Zhang Hong.
"I would like to ask, what is your brother's name?"
Xu Yunyan asked casually, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang Hong opened his mouth and said it.
"Sir, my brother's name is Zhang Xin!"
"ah?"
Xu Yunyan was completely helpless when he heard that Zhang Hong's brother's name was also Zhang Xin.
Is this a complete confrontation with brothers Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin?
Zhang Hong was killed by himself and buried in the south, but Zhang Xin was innocent and still serving in the northern army.
Someone has been looking for information about him. He is really innocent. He is not a remnant of the previous dynasty. He is just a sworn brother with Zhang Hong by chance.
Although I am very helpless, the result is this, and I have to say it myself. No matter how hard and tired I am, I can only accept it by myself.
Xu Yunyan looked at him helplessly and said, "Okay, let's settle it. I'll be here again at this time tomorrow, and you take me to take a look at this selected restaurant."
After saying this, Xu Yunyan felt a little hopeless, so he casually walked towards home.
reason?
No money!
We also need to find ways to make money.
As Xu Yunyan left, he didn't see Zhang Hong kneeling behind him again, kowtowing to his back.
When the new day came, Xu Yunyan came to the craftsman's supervision. Li Chengqian still didn't see anyone, but Wei Zheng appeared in front of him immediately.
"Master Wei!"
Xu Yunyan hugged him with a fist.
"Brother, you are finally here. Let's hurry up and make a gift for His Royal Highness."
Wei Zheng angrily took Xu Yunyan to the craftsman's prison to make a gift for Li Chengqian, while Xu Yunyan looked at him.
"Master Wei, I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is free today?"
"His Royal Highness may be busy decorating the East Palace today. It's almost done. But after Miss Hou came here, he found a lot of faults here and there. He's really lucky to be so busy."
Hearing what Wei Zheng said, Xu Yunyan thought of the happy times he and Mei Jingjing had in the past. It was just a trick of fate. Now, heaven and man are forever separated. He couldn't help but sigh and looked to the south, as if he wanted to see through the barriers of thousands of rivers and mountains. It's like going to a place where Mei can rest quietly.
With Xu Yunyan looking like this, Wei Zheng didn't think about anything else, but instead urged him here.
"Master Li, hurry up. We don't have much time. We must prepare the gift before the prince's wedding. But we can't prepare this gift when the prince gets married."
Wei Zheng urged Xu Yunyan here, and Xu Yunyan had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, then let's go to the craftsman's workshop to make items."
It's just that this time Wei Zheng didn't know how to connect his ideas, and he actually came up with the idea of making the screen out of colored glaze.
But Xu Yunyan looked a little embarrassed at him.
"Master Wei, are you sure you want to use colored glaze for this screen?"
"right!"
Wei Zheng vowed, "Not only will I use this glass as a screen, but I will also engrave words on this screen to warn His Highness the Crown Prince, so that every time he sees this screen, he will know what he should and shouldn't do as an emperor. He must be diligent." Government loves the people.”
When Wei Zheng said this, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Master Wei, you are really smart. With such an idea, you will definitely stand out."
Wei Zheng laughed when he heard this, "This will trouble Mr. Li."
Xu Yunyan was a little curious at this moment, "I wonder if Wei is older and needs more services?"
"this……"
Wei Zheng didn't hide it, he struggled here for a while and said it directly.
"I'm not good at knife skills. A general is a general who goes into battle to kill enemies, so he is very good at wielding a knife. I hope you can carve these words on this screen mold for me."
"This is a big joke. The handwriting written by the official is quite ugly."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Wei Zheng seemed to have remembered something and was stunned for a moment.
"So? Then I can write something for you and let the general help carve it."
"That's fine."
Xu Yunyan didn't refuse. Anyway, he didn't have much to do as a craftsman supervisor, and his relationship with Wei Zhenglala was also good.
And while Xu Yunyan and Wei Zheng were supervising the craftsmanship, one of them made a screen, and the other made some other glass ornaments. When Li Chengqian got married, they blinded everyone's eyes. It was also a time to advertise Liuli. One day It was over again, but at the end of the show, Wei Zheng couldn't help but admire Xu Yunyan's detailed and careful carvings on the screen mold.
"The general is indeed a professional swordsman. The calligraphy is so beautiful."
Xu Yunyan also complimented here, "Master Wei's writing is very good. Only a junior general can carve such a flying and phoenix-like character. However, I have something to ask of you."
Hearing Xu Yunyan's words of compliment to him, Wei Zheng's face was very bright.
"General, if there is anything I can do, I will spare no effort."
"That's what happened."
Xu Yunyan planned to open a restaurant for him, and Wei Zheng needed to write some plaques for him.
Wei Zheng said proudly when he heard this.
"What's so hard about this?"
There was no shortage of paper or wood in the craftsman's prison. Wei Zheng directly picked a piece of wood that could also be used to carve a plaque, laid it on paper, and wrote on it.
"How about it?"
But after Wei Zheng finished writing, Xu Yunyan was surprised when he saw that Wei Zheng had written the word "restaurant".
But just when I was about to complain about not having a name, I was instantly overjoyed.
"Mr. Wei is really tall, really tall! Ordinary people would have an arty name here, but Mr. Wei's simple and clear restaurant is really tall, really tall!"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Wei Zheng really blushed. He had originally thought of a name, but he didn't know what to think of it, so he wrote the word "restaurant."
It was originally an embarrassing thing, but Xu Yunyan's compliments here made Wei Zheng a little less embarrassed, and he was also here to talk with Xu Yunyan.
"Master Li is joking, I'm just temporarily showing someone's calligraphy. If the general thinks this name is inappropriate, can we change it to another one?"
Xu Yunyan shook his head, "No, just use this plaque. I just don't know if Mr. Wei can sign it?"
This Wei Zheng was unwilling to pay the money. If he paid the money and others knew that the name of this restaurant was a restaurant, he might not be laughed at.
Wei Zheng kept refusing to pay, and Xu Yunyan was helpless.
"Then let's do this. Thank you, Mr. Wei."
Xu Yunyan picked up the plaque and walked out. Seeing people praising the word "restaurant" on the plaque, the scene immediately became lively.
"Look, Master Wei's name is really good. It's concise and concise!"
Wei Zheng's old face is so embarrassing.
"I am not careful in making friends, I am really not careful in making friends! I didn't expect that I could capsize in the gutter and be humiliated by Xu Yunyan in this literature, although he did not intend it."
