Ouyang Xiu sent the fisherman's proud horse to the Zhenrong Army that day. Also sent along were the shredded tobacco and pipe that Liang Chuan gave to Fan Zhongyan. Ouyang Xiu personally wrote in the letter: Wenxi that this herb has miraculous effects in relieving depression and fighting depression.
Fan Zhongyan went to the northwest and Han Qi went to the northwest to control the Rong army. He advocated holding back his troops, but Han Qi wanted to take the initiative to attack and wait for opportunities to defeat the enemy.
The Song army was too eager to win a victory to prove themselves, and fell into the cunning Li Yuanhao's trick of luring the enemy. They went deep into the Xia army's ambush at Haoshui River. General Ren Fu and his son Ren Hualiang were both killed in the battle. The Song army lost fifteen generals and soldiers. There were more than 1,300 people, and every family in the northwest was in mourning, and every household was crying.
After several decades in the Song Dynasty, even the Battle of Sanchuankou only resulted in more than 3,000 casualties. This time, the number of soldiers was more than three times that of Sanchuankou. There was no family in the northwest that did not hold a funeral, and the cries seemed to be heard. Bianjing is average.
After the defeat of Haoshuichuan, the news spread to Jingzhou, and the prefect Teng Zijing slaughtered cattle and served wine to reward the three armies, because they were about to march to the northwest. They also set up memorial offerings in temples for the salvation of the souls of the dead, and comforted and settled the orphans of fallen soldiers.
Teng Zijing and Fan Zhongyan are also good friends who cherish each other. He cannot go to the front line to fight in person, so he can only share the burden for his friend.
Teng Zijing's act was a righteous act, but it became a weapon for his political opponents to attack him, claiming that he abused the minister's money, which is often referred to as misappropriation or public funds in later generations. Liang Chuan will be familiar with it: in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to Baling County.
Fan Zhongyan was demoted to the northwest, but he did not think it was a derogation. Instead, he shouldered a heavy responsibility and went to the northwest to drive out the Western thieves and establish power for China in the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the scabies disease would severely hurt the Song Dynasty. One knife.
Victory or defeat is a matter of course for military strategists, but the Song Dynasty could not afford to lose this man. The war between the two countries was like beating a neighbor's child who could not walk yet. Fan Zhongyan listened to the cries and cries in the homes of the fallen soldiers. The sense of justice and responsibility weighed on his heart, making him unable to sleep every night.
At this time, his friend Ouyang Xiu sent someone to deliver a message. He thought the news was so fast that it reached Bianjing in an instant. The letter was probably about comforting myself, but I didn't expect it to be a poem. The content of the poem was so appropriate that it made people sleepless and made the general cry with gray hair. .
Finally Fan Wenzheng also became a smoker.
Bianjing City.
When the Forbidden City comes out, who can compete with it? In Bianjing City, all high-end luxury restaurants such as Xinle House and Fan House have been eclipsed by the momentum of the Forbidden City God descending. Ma Xing Street, the world's number one entertainment street, has also lost its limelight.
Instead, this one is located in the Forbidden City at the intersection of Bianhe Street and Maxing Street!
The most common topic among the officials in the imperial court after dinner is whether they have been to the Forbidden City. The worst thing is whether they have eaten the hot pot in the Forbidden City. The better thing is whether they have tasted the Kung Fu tea in the Forbidden City. The better thing is whether they have seen the Forbidden City. Lou's opera, two puffs of Forbidden City cigarettes, can you sing when you are in love?
"We are destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but if we are not destined to meet each other, it is difficult to hold hands with each other."
“Ten years of cultivation can lead to crossing in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can lead to sleeping together on the same pillow.”
A song that is catchy and easy to understand is much better than those famous poems and lyrics by literati. After only one song, it became popular on both sides of the Bianhe River and throughout the city of Bianjing. It was sung in the streets and alleys. .
Once upon a time, when a myth came to Bianjing, Lu Yi became famous all over the city and became the leading actress of Zifan Tower. Now, although Chen Yuanyuan and the others do not have the peerless appearance of Lu Yi, with the help of the Legend of White Snake and this song of love, They are enough to make the entire Bianjing entertainment circle proud.
Nowadays, anyone who has a little money on hand wants to get into the Forbidden City. Who opened this building? Legend has it that it was opened by Ding Wei, the prime minister of the dynasty. When Manchu Wen opened it, everyone was present. The richest people in the city did not dare to make a loud noise inside. This is called class.
The red seasoning added to the hot pot is so delicious. After eating, my whole body felt like it was on fire, and I felt indescribably comfortable after sweating profusely.
Fan Lou, the head chef of Xinle House, wanted to find out about this special formula, but after eating it for three days, he had difficulty defecating and still couldn't figure out what kind of ingredient this taste came from.
The financial backers behind the two restaurants scolded the two cooks for being arrogant and saying that any barbarian from the south could cook better than them.
This can’t be blamed on their two chefs. The hot pot method was developed by the Mongolians on horseback, and chili peppers are imported from Southeast Asia. The Song Dynasty did not have both of them. How could it be possible just by tasting them? Can it be researched? Even a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!
Hot pot became popular in Bianjing City as soon as it was launched. After the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, people were not very interested in their own traditions but highly praised other people's exotic customs. I heard that this was still the way to eat in the north of the Liao Kingdom. It was fresh!
Liang Chuan struck while the iron was hot, and after the launch of hot pot, he made kimchi into canned food, packed it in exquisite celadon jars, and sold it in jars. The price of this kimchi is not cheap, unlike other bargains that can be bought casually on the street. This is Chen Yaozuo, who was born and raised in Sichuan and is used to eating kimchi in Sichuan. Sichuan people also praise it for its delicious taste!
A few chili peppers are added to a jar, and the rest are ordinary home-cooked dishes, but a jar can be sold for ten sticks. A jar of kimchi can last a family of five for several months.
A person with ten guan of silver can buy rice and eat it for several years.
Even at such sky-high prices, the store can sell as much as they pickle in a day. In Bianjing, this place is not afraid of you paying too much, just afraid that you don't have it.
Bianjing people are good at eating and want to eat dishes from all over the world, but this unique spiciness is the first time I have seen it. In order to satisfy the sophisticated tastes of millions of people, Liang Chuan invented this later dish hundreds of years ago.
Mapo tofu! It's that simple, but no one has the chili peppers so no one can replicate this dish! Then there is the series of home-cooked Sichuan dishes such as saliva chicken, twice-cooked pork, kung pao chicken, diced fish and shredded pork, one dish a day, giving different surprises to the people of Bianjing.
At the back, there are pickled pepper frogs, chopped pepper fish heads, garlic and white meat. They are cooked in different patterns, making the taste buds of the residents dance non-stop. Of course, more and more people are running to the drug store these days. I can’t eat the spiciness. There are many people who tolerate it. Many people who suffer from gastroenteritis have no choice but to go to a doctor to pick up medicine and take it.
This series of dishes has completely conquered the chefs of the major restaurants in Bianjing City. This is a master-level figure who can form his own sect. Otherwise, so many dishes have never been heard of or tasted before. If you don't debut, you will be at the top. , everyone said that if Yu is born, how can Liang be born!
Of course, the confidentiality of Chili Pepper has become one of the top secrets in the Forbidden City. The kitchen door of the Forbidden City is guarded by brothers from the intelligence team every day. The level of security is like the kitchen of the Shaolin Temple. There are eighteen bronze men guarding it. Every place on the body must be checked when entering or exiting, for fear of bringing a seed out of the kitchen.
The chefs also signed a death contract with the Forbidden City. If a seed was found, they would be killed immediately without having to hand it over to the government.
What is a symbol of identity and status now? Just take the woman to the Forbidden City to have a luxurious hot pot meal, and then go upstairs to watch the Legend of the White Snake. The man is vomiting and the woman is moved to the side.
Tobacco seems to be a fatal thing for men. If you don't have a pipe or pipe made of old jade hanging from your waist while walking on the street, you are a person who has never seen the world.
Sun Houpu looked at the crowds in the Forbidden City and made money every day. His countless efforts over the past few months finally paid off. When he went to bed at night, the corners of his mouth were raised.
Although in the eyes of others he looked like Liang Chuan's follower and a helper for Liang Chuan, he didn't mind. His purpose was to use Liang Chuan's countless fresh ideas to carry forward the legacy of his Sun family concubine and return to Changchun in the future. The glory of the ancestors.
Now that a new store has opened, the daily sales are like running water, and tens of thousands of dollars can be collected in a day. Liang Chuan's pricing strategy seems to be like killing pigs instead of doing business. Is it too expensive? Then go somewhere else!
Hot pot is the best thing to eat with a group of people. It is hard to get a seat at the hot pot restaurant on the first floor day and night, let alone a table. Now you have to book a table until after the Qingming Festival. Regardless of whether you come to eat or not, the deposit of ten guan will be left first, and a table of dishes will cost about 15 guan. Tables are constantly changing day and night. There are nearly 40 tables on the first floor, which can collect nearly 10,000 yuan a day.
Not to mention the tea on the second floor, the new Kung Fu tea has a light aftertaste, which is a lot less interesting than the traditional way of ordering tea, but for the Song people who admire minimalism, it is simply to their liking.
The tea sold in the Sun family's tea shop is considered to be owned by the public. When he leaves the shop and buys tea from Sun Houpu, the income is entirely his own. Sun Houpu has planned to return to Changkeng and open up a new tea mountain. He will no longer produce all tea bricks. Instead, he will adopt Liang Chuan's suggestion to produce Kungfu tea and tea bricks at the same time to increase production.
Since ancient times, tea sellers have been a wealthy country. Liang Chuan helped Sun Houpu get the tea guide for tea. This business license alone is worth ten thousand yuan.
The income on the third and fourth floors is even more terrible. It's hard to get a ticket on the third floor. Tickets are as expensive as a dog. The key is that you can't buy them even if you have money. Tickets are on sale every day, and the front desk always says: sold out. Many people wanted to buy tickets because they had connections with Ding Wei and other high-ranking officials in the DPRK. They begged grandpa and grandma to get a theater ticket at the back.
Ding said that he had watched The Legend of the White Snake. It was indeed a good play. It was touching and well-organized. It could be compared with the poems that have been passed down through the ages. It is not an exaggeration to say that Liang Chuan is the founder of the food industry and a giant in the opera industry. Not too much.
Women love to watch plays and listen to the love stories of princes, generals, princesses, and talented men, and they even go crazy for beauty!
Liang Chuan's few recipes made the circle of ladies in Bianjing shake up for countless times. In order to become more beautiful, in order to retain the hearts of their men, and in order to defeat the fox who seduced their men, they spent all the money they had saved for many years. I took it out, and I felt so determined to fight to the death!
Sun Houpu thought that his second floor was already a golden rooster laying golden eggs. When he saw the accounts on the fourth floor, he couldn't believe his eyes. . . Why did Liang Chuan put this floor on the fourth floor? It's a woman's money. . It turned out to be so profitable. .
Sun Houpu thought that he had seen all the wealth in the world, but after seeing the financial resources of the people of Bianjing, he was really dissatisfied. No wonder the Liao Kingdom and Xixia both wanted to invade Bianjing, not just for this beautiful world!
The Forbidden City continues to explode, with thousands of customers visiting every day. Within a month, the huge investment of tens of millions of assets that I previously invested will be fully recouped.
As soon as February passes, spring is about to begin.
