Just as I was about to speak, the samurai who was with Zhang Debiao had already walked in with several eunuchs, carrying ten kinds of delicacies.

When the samurai was seated, we started to drink. During the dinner, I kept persuading the two of them to drink. After a while, the two of them became drunk. Seeing that the time was almost right, they said: "Brother, I have something else to ask my brother to drink." Help." Zhang Debiao slapped his chest loudly with the strength of alcohol, and said: "Your brother, you don't have to be polite, just tell me if you have something to do." I said: "Brother wants to find a shop in the capital and open a tavern." Zhang Debiao said Dazed, I said: "It's easy to run a shop, but my brother is doing well in the palace, so why bother to do business." I laughed loudly and said: "Of course I won't lose my job in the palace. Well, it’s natural to find someone to take care of it, my brother is in charge of the imperial dining room, you said you want to get a few imperial cooks to cook, I’m afraid there will be no second one in the whole capital.” Zhang Debiao opened his eyes wide, and it took a long time to say The words came: "Then you are so angry." Then he sighed and said: "Brother, you are really blessed, you are much better than your brother." His tone was sour.

Seeing him sad, I asked, "My brother is the leader of the Bukufang, how much income does he make a year?" Hearing this question, Zhang Debiao sighed: "Brothers don't know, our brothers in the Bukufang can't compare to you, Brother Gui, Although we have a vain title of Qipin, we don’t have any power in our hands, and we only get a few dozen taels of silver as a dry salary. We banner people pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and outsiders look at our scenery in the palace. In fact, the shabby home Only we ourselves know."

I asked again: "In this case, why don't you go out and find a living, it's better than staying in the palace." Zhang Debiao raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said: "I have this idea for a long time, but we have nothing but wrestling. I only know how to make money and go shopping in kilns, and I don’t know how to make a living, and I will only starve to death when I leave the palace.” I took the opportunity to say: “Brother, I have a problem, I don’t know if my brother is interested.”

Zhang Debiao's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "Brother, tell me quickly, brother knows that following you will never go wrong."

I pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother, I will pay to open a gambling house, and I will leave it to you to manage it. You will take a group of brothers to take care of it for me, and I will give you [-]% of the money." Zhang Debiao was overjoyed and said with a smile: " Opening a gambling house is the best thing, we brothers can do nothing else, the things in the casino are clear. It’s just that you pay for it, isn’t it too much for us to take [-]% of the money.” I laughed and said: “Let’s My brother, why are you so clear, brother just do it with peace of mind." Zhang Debiao said: "Since brother is so flattering, brother will not let brother down, in a few days I will quit my job as a bird in the palace and lead everyone Brother looking for a place."

Afterwards, everyone was in high spirits and drank one cup at a time. I was also a little drunk, and said, "This time, the cloth treasury has done a great job, but I don't know how to reward it." Zhang Debiao became angry immediately, and cursed: "Brother, you don't know. This time, three brothers died in our cloth warehouse because of this matter, but we haven't paid any money until now. The emperor ordered Prince Kang to be the prime minister. I heard that Prince Kang only intends to involve Ao Bai and a few other people. The female relatives who came into the minister’s house gave each of us thirty slaves.” He pointed to the samurai beside him, “He also participated that day, and his family is poorer than mine. Thirty maids and mothers, what to feed these people, what to eat for the whole family. There are also three dead brothers, the family has lost a pillar, orphans and widows, seeing that they have run out of food, suddenly there are more Thirty people, how can I afford it." I thought to myself that Prince Kang is really fucking bad, and it seems that the cloth warehouse really has no place in the palace, so I asked, "What are you going to do?" Zhang Debiao said: "What else can I do? I will sell them to a brothel one by one, and I can get 300 taels of silver." Hearing what he said, I came up with another idea, and hurriedly said: "If you can't sell it, you can't sell it." Zhang Debiao Qi said: "Why can't I sell it? All the males from the prisoner's family have been exiled into the army. I am not afraid of retaliation." I said: "It's not for this reason. I have use for the family members of the criminals. In this way, Brother Zhang, The female relatives assigned to you six, one person is 180, and six people are 50, I will pay [-] taels of silver for each to buy them all." Zhang Debiao was overjoyed, and said: "So I want to thank the brothers on behalf of the brothers who died. I just don’t know what you want these women to do.” I smiled and said, “You will know after a while.”

Guessing that the time was almost up, they ended the banquet and sent Zhang Debiao and his party away.Not long after, the eunuch Li Fugui reported outside the door: "If you go back to Eunuch Gui, all the cooks have prepared the dishes, do you want to present them now?" I opened the door and said: "Come in." Immediately dozens of eunuchs passed on the dishes The dishes came in one after another, and the dishes were placed on the table. The table could not fit, and another eunuch moved three tables, and they were lined up with the original table. After all the dishes were placed, the eunuchs withdrew.Li Fugui said: "Eunuch, there are a total of 42 dishes here. I put a number on each plate. I wrote down the chef who made the dish with the corresponding number and the resume of the chef on the booklet. Please comment on it." This Li Fugui is still a talent, and he is quite organized in his work, which I am very satisfied with.So he boasted: "Eunuch Li does everything without leaking water. It is really rare. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely promote him." Li Fugui's bones were as crisp as he crouched on the ground, and said, "Thank you for your praise, I will do my best for you. .”

After Li Fugui left, I closed the door, lit all the seven or eight candlesticks in the room, took out the gun in my arms, opened a few pages, and put them together with the jewelry I picked out from the case.Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of rain and sunshine.

Looking at the watch, there was still some time, so he looked through Li Fugui's diary, found a few older cooks, and tasted the dishes made by them according to the number, the taste was really different. More than ten names were selected, and a tick was made under their names.These people are old, just find an excuse, send them out of the palace, and then quietly recruit them to my restaurant, no one in the palace will notice, even if they are discovered, I can use their age as an excuse .Besides, with my current power, it is estimated that no one will take me seriously for such a trivial matter.

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a knock on the door, and someone outside the door called softly: "Xiao Guizi, Xiao Guizi." It was Yuqing's voice.Ha, it's just in time, and the dishes are still hot.

I hurried to open the door, and saw Yuqing standing in front of the door with a smile on her face.When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Little Monkey, sister is here, miss you?"
