"In the past, I heard that Jiangnan people are hospitable, but today I saw that they are nothing more than that. Let's go, let's go, we country people can't afford it, so don't taint their reputation."
Yun Niang greeted and left.
Song Che stopped her, strode up to the guy, and asked first:
"Didn't your master tell you that people should not be judged by their appearance?"
The servant said proudly: "I only know that no matter how good-looking you are, if you don't have money in your pocket, you won't be able to enter our Fuman Building."
"Your master taught you this?" Song Che asked again.
"Do you care-"
"Pah! Pah!"
Song Che slapped the guy with two ear-scratchers with his backhand, spinning him around, and said angrily: "Go back and tell your master that there is a boss from Suzhou who is checking the accounts!"
That guy was a bully, so he covered his hot cheeks and ran into Fuman Building in dejection.
moment.
A naive young man wearing a brocade robe stepped out of the threshold. When he saw Song Che, he immediately exclaimed:
"Brother-in-law!"
The guy behind Shen Fang softened instantly when he heard the word "brother-in-law".
Yun Niang and the waiter were also shocked.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't you write a letter in advance when you came to Yangzhou?" Shen Fang held Song Che's arm and greeted him with greetings. Most of the wealth in this restaurant was brought to him by Song Che, either his brother-in-law or even his father.
Song Che pointed at the man lying limply at the door and said coldly: "From now on, I don't want to see this person in the inn."
The fellow crawled over and begged, "It's my slave who doesn't know the truth. I contradicted my master. I hope my master will forgive me!"
Shen Fang kicked him off the eaves and yelled: "I'll give you two more months of wages, pack your bags and get out of here!"
Dogs see tough people and can only reap the consequences.
"Look at your brother-in-law's attire. The journey will be tiring. Come with me to the inn quickly. Let's have some good wine and good food to wash away the dust." Shen Fang pulled Song Che towards the inn.
Yun Niang and her two waiters were hesitant and embarrassed to enter.
"Lady boss?" Song Che greeted at the door.
Yun Niang sighed: "Don't call me boss lady. Compared with your restaurant, I'm just a country chick."
Song Che shook his head and only made a gesture.
Yun Niang had no choice but to follow. After entering the inn, she looked around for fear of bumping into any distinguished guest.
"Bah! This dish is really unpalatable. It also has the signature 'Beef Stir-fried with Green Onions', which is far worse than the one at Baxianlou!"
Sudden,
Someone in the living room smashed his chopsticks, spat out the meat in his mouth, and left the table angrily: "If I hadn't been greedy for your drink, I would never have come here to eat!"
Even Song Che wanted to complain about the food at Fuman Inn. It was unpalatable, very unpalatable.
If a person is dissatisfied, it may be because he is naughty, but there are almost large plates of leftovers on every table, which is enough to prove that the food is not good.
Shen Fang sighed secretly, and he probably understood in his heart that he could only step forward to apologize: "Sir, if there is anything that does not suit your taste, you and I will ask the chef to improve it."
The guest pointed at the plate and said, "Eat it for yourself. This beef stir-fried with green onions is as old as firewood. It costs three taels of silver per plate. In my opinion, it's not even worth half a tael!"
"The chef must have overheated it. I'll definitely teach him a lesson later," Shen Fang suggested, "How about if this is not the case, the food on the table is half price for you?"
"No need! It's not that I can't afford this meal, but I definitely won't come to your place next time!"
The guest took a piece of silver and threw it on the table, then rolled up his sleeves and left.
Shen Fang looked bitter.
"Official, please wait."
It was Yun Niang who stopped the guest. She said with a smile: "It's dinner time now and the kitchen is busy, so this dish is a bit overcooked. Please forgive me."
When the guest saw that Yun Niang was beautiful, her words were pleasing to the ear, and her scowl lost some of her anger, "This lady's words are quite pleasing to the ear. I, Zhao Erhe, am born with a bad mouth. What dishes are delicious and what are not, I will use them." You can tell the difference with just a tap of the tip of your tongue, it’s definitely not just talking.”
Yun Niang returned to the table, picked up a piece of beef with the other end of her chopsticks, chewed it twice, and shook her head secretly: "This beef is indeed too old."
She asked the guest again: "Sir, can you spare your time for half a quarter of an hour? I will go to the kitchen to cook a new dish for you, and I will ensure that you are satisfied with it."
"Oh?" Zhao Erhe's eyes lit up: "If Madam can make dishes that satisfy me, I will definitely reward you!"
Yun Niang smiled back, asked Song Che for the direction of the kitchen, and strode away.
"Is your sister good at cooking?" Song Che asked the waiter Ah Shan with interest.
Ah Shan puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Of course, my sister has been in the kitchen since she was five years old and is proficient in all kinds of cooking. Don't look at our tavern. All the food is cooked by her. Everyone who eats it is Thumbs up.”
Song Che also had a meal at Huaxi Tavern. The wine was delicious, the food was delicious, and the person was beautiful.
Less than half an hour.
"Here comes the beef stir-fried with green onions!"
Yun Niang was carrying a plate of steaming dishes. As soon as she left the kitchen, the aroma of green onions filled the inn.
"Please taste it, officials."
Put the dish on the table and compare it with the previous beef stir-fried with green onion. It is completely different.
The guest picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of beef into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed slowly, tasted it for a moment, suddenly opened his eyes, took another piece of beef into his mouth, swallowed it and then stood up. Thumbs up:
"Amazing! Amazing! Fragrant but not stuffy, tender but not raw, delicious! Delicious!"
"Let's try it too!"
The diners at the next table also stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the food and gave them thumbs up after eating.
"It's a reward!" The guest complied, took out a silver coin and gave it to Yun Niang.
"Ten taels?" Yun Niang glanced at Song Che. Song Che smiled and nodded, indicating that you deserved it.
Yun Niang happily took the silver coin and said, "Thank you, officer, for the reward!"
Shen Fang looked at Yun Niang with sparkling eyes.
After dinner.
Shen Fang opened a few more upper rooms.
Song Che didn't even belch properly, so Shen Fang came into the room with a few ledgers and a smile on his face:
"Brother-in-law, this is the drinking water flow in the past six months. Can you check the account?"
The brothers have settled the accounts. Anyway, they are here. Let’s take a rough look.
Song Che turned on the light and briefly checked two books. His brows became tighter as he read, and he couldn't help but ask: "In the past three months, the monthly turnover has been up to 3,000 taels. Why is there not even a thousand taels in August?" "
Shen Fang said bitterly: "Brother-in-law, I don't know. At first, our wine was novel, but later, for some reason, many wineries learned how to distill it, and customers no longer came to buy wine from us;
Also, brother-in-law, didn’t you rely on this distilled liquor to win the top spot at the business selection meeting? It stands to reason that the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce should strongly support this business, but when I went to see him, they said that I was not the founder of this wine and they would not give me a single copper plate;
It's okay if they don't support him. Unexpectedly, the Yang family opened a tavern of their own and sold the same distilled liquor. Brother-in-law, do you think they look ugly? "
The nature of the Yang family's business is called "chaebol" in modern terms. They not only sell tea, but also engage in business throughout Yangzhou.
When Yangzhou people are born, everything they eat, drink, wear, and use, even for work, is in the hands of the Yang family.
The father and son of the Yang family can make Yangzhou shake three times with a move of their feet, and cover the whole of Jiangnan with their hands.
Song Che started a fire in Luoyang and burned all the tea leaves in the Yang family. Once this relationship is formed, it will never end.
The trafficking of women is most likely related to the Yang family.
Is it relevant if Japanese pirates enter the city?
The water in Yangzhou seems to be deeper than that in Luoyang.
