For the sake of people's support, he made everyone willing to sacrifice their lives for him while treating these seven subordinates. Ye Mingsheng not only showed courtesy to the corporal, but also kept these people at home to eat, which promoted the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
During the banquet, he even promised promotions. When he finally left, he paid extra 20 taels of silver to each team member for housing allowance. Zhao Han and Li Dingbang both had 50 taels of silver for their housing allowance. ·············
Everyone was watching Ye Mingsheng treat his subordinates well and being loyal, so they were willing to follow Ye Mingsheng to go to the bitter cold land of Liaoyang to do something. Before they set off, Ye Mingsheng gave them such a large sum of money, naturally. Everyone was deeply grateful, thanked him profusely, and expressed their loyalty to Ye Mingsheng.
After seeing off these subordinates, Ye Mingsheng was not idle. With the help of Pei Zhixiu, he quickly changed into a new robe and was ready to set off.
"You have already drank a lot at noon, so don't drink any more tonight!" Seeing the bad weather, Pei Zhixiu handed Ye Mingsheng an umbrella and warned with concern:
"Don't worry, this Mingyan Tower is a vegetarian restaurant and we don't buy wine!"
Ye Mingsheng, who drank a lot at noon and was still blushing, smiled and explained;
When Pei Zhixiu heard that it was Su Zhai, she slightly raised her eyebrows in doubt. It might be due to professional habits. She was usually most worried about Ye Mingsheng's health.
After saying a few words of self-discipline to Pei Zhixiu and making Pei Zhixiu blush, Ye Mingsheng was contented to lead Ye Dong and Ye Kui towards Dongcheng District.
His goal tonight is Mingyan Tower, located in Huiqingfang, Dongcheng District. Time passes very quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, he and the person whose name he doesn’t know yet, but who gave it to him as soon as he came up, are there. It's the day when Shen Jianzhong, who was given a gift of one thousand taels, met his collaborators.
As a restaurant in Luo'an, this Mingyan Restaurant can be said to be very famous. The quality is at least one level better than the Zuixiangju that Ye Mingsheng has eaten at. However, it is different from other big restaurants in Luo'an, such as Chunshan Restaurant and Wanzhen Restaurant. Compared with other places, Mingyanlou is famous not because of how exquisite and delicious its food is, nor how luxurious its decoration is...
As a restaurant that only serves vegetarian meals, Mingyan Tower focuses on purity, elegance, and prides itself on being very high-class. However, the officials in the imperial court who have read the books of sages and the children of the aristocratic families who like to be arty are really Fortunately for him, he often holds cultural gatherings here and spends a lot of money to turn a vegetarian-only restaurant into one of the top restaurants in Luo'an!
Although Ye Mingsheng didn't know who the person who asked him to meet was, but since the dinner was arranged at Mingyan Tower, he guessed that this person was probably a self-proclaimed person!
Although Huiqingfang, where Mingyan Tower is located, is not a luxurious area in Dongcheng District of Luo'an, the environment is really good. It is surrounded by a clean grove with various flowers and plants in it, which is very eye-catching.
Although the Mingyan Building located in the middle of the woods is already very large, compared with its equally famous Chunshan Pavilion and Wan Zhenju, it is much smaller, with only three buildings connected to each other. A two-story wooden building.
Because the main thing is that the signboard is clean and elegant, which attracts these arty so-called "Yake". The decoration style of Mingyan Tower is naturally simple and exquisite. In most restaurants in Luoan, the decoration is luxurious and magnificent. , can be regarded as rare and unique.
In addition to the very good environment, Mingyan Tower also hears the sound of the piano. The sound is euphemistic and continuous, just like a mountain spring slowly flowing from a deep valley, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Before entering Mingyan Tower, Ye Mingsheng was still a little worried about how to contact the other party. After all, Liu Chunfu only said that his master asked him to meet at Mingyan Tower, but he did not say which private room it would be in, and this Mingyan Tower Yan Tower looks like it has nearly twenty private rooms...
But soon Ye Mingsheng realized that his worries were a bit unnecessary. As soon as he entered Mingyan Tower and was thinking about how to find Liu Chunfu, he saw a man about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall, sweet and youthful, wearing Mingyan. The maid in Tsing Yi, who was wearing standard-style clothes, came to Ye Mingsheng.
Under Ye Mingsheng's puzzled gaze, the maid in green first gave Ye Mingsheng a blessing gift, and then whispered:
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Ye Mingsheng?"
"Yes, I am!"
Although he was a little surprised to see that this maid actually knew him, Ye Mingsheng did not hesitate, nodded and admitted:
"Master Ye, please come here with me!" the maid in green continued to say softly, her voice sweet and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.
"Wait a mininute!"
Ye Mingsheng did not, and immediately followed the maid in green towards the private room area on the second floor. Instead, he looked around the hall, and then arranged for Ye Dong and Ye Kui to sit in a corner of the hall of Mingyan Tower.
Now that we have brought these two people out, we naturally can't just go in for the banquet by ourselves and let them just wait here hungry.
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he looked through the menu of Mingyan House. Although Mingyan House is a vegetarian restaurant, all the dishes he eats are vegetarian, and there is no meaty taste. However, the consumption level of Mingyan House is not low at all, and the vegetarian dishes are the lowest. , it also costs two taels of silver, which is as much as the price of a signature dish in Zuixiangju.
Although there was some pain in his body, now that he was out, Ye Mingsheng was no longer so poor. He ordered some vegetarian dishes for Ye Dong and Ye Kui, the two soldiers he had trained so much, which was also a way for the two brothers to see the world. Arty for a while, try the high-end vegetarian food of this top restaurant in Luo'an...
"Master, this is too expensive!"
"Let's go back and eat..."
Seeing that a meal would cost ten taels of silver, the brothers Ye Dong and Ye Kui immediately felt sorry for Ye Mingsheng and admonished Ye Mingsheng:
Ignoring the brothers' dissuasion, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, just wait for me here!"
After explaining, Ye Mingsheng followed the sweet-looking maid upstairs to the private room on the second floor. When he saw Ye Mingsheng leaving, Ye Dong and Ye Kui, who had never been to such a high-end and elegant place to eat, were a little confused at first. They looked at each other, at a loss, not knowing what to do.
But soon the two brothers got used to it, and when they looked at each other, they could see the anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes.
