Ancient promotion routine

Without the Du family and Wang and Zhou making trouble, the walls outside the large inn were completely demolished, and all the projects were at the final stage. It took only half a month, and the workers enthusiastically took care of the rest of the work. finished.

Zhang Yanjin specially picked an auspicious day, and asked someone to make a plaque with the words "Anjule" bestowed by the emperor, and hang it above the gate of the inn.

Because Zhang Yanjin continued to build momentum for the inn before the inn was built, and there was an inscription written by the emperor, the amber wine in the inn was the legendary wine that overwhelmed the Japanese envoy when he came. The gorgeous shape has long made people curious about Anleju.

On the opening day of Anleju, not only Zhang Yanjin's friends in Chang'an City came to join in the fun, but all the gentry in Xizhou also accepted Zhang Yanjin's invitation to come over for a tasting of fine wine.The common people around should not be able to hold back their curiosity and watch around Anleju.

For a while, Anleju was actually crowded with people.

Under the leadership of Zhang Wuer, Chen Su and others went in to take a look, and found that the inn was far from what he had imagined.

The tall table tables in the lobby are arranged according to their geographical locations, some are square tall table tables, some are large round table tables, and on each table table is the hot pot that he asked Zhang Yanjin to ask for last time. , along with the rolling of the broth in the hot pot, the rich aroma wafts from it and permeates the entire inn, easily arousing people's appetite.

There are fresh and tender vegetables around the hot pot, and very thinly sliced ​​lamb rolls, fish slices and other things.

There are square high stools or tall soft stools around the table.

These strange shapes made the guests feel fresh, and they went up to try it one after another. Smelling the aroma of the hot pot, they couldn't help but quickly move their chopsticks to eat.

Just when Chen Su was curious about what Zhang Yanjin made of these tall desks and stools, he saw Zhang Yanjin walk to the center of the front round platform, greeted the guests who came from afar with a smile, and then explained the inn to everyone. The middle seat and table are what Chen Su thinks is the tall table.

Tables and stools were added later. During the Wei Dynasty, everyone still used short tables and seats. It was not until later generations that the tables and stools were tossed, which liberated everyone's legs.

In order to make people more comfortable, Zhang Yanjin boldly took the challenge and made tables, stools, and sofas first, and put them in the inn.

More importantly, using the geographical location in this way, setting the table in a round or square shape not only looks beautiful and interesting, but more importantly, it greatly saves space.

After Zhang Yanjin finished his speech, everyone began to eat hot pot and drink the rumored amber wine.

Accompanied by the melodious sound of the pipa, everyone followed the prestige and found that at some point on the round platform in the center of the inn, a group of graceful dancers like flowers and jade had ushered in. The dancers' red skirts fluttered like flying clouds , people can't take their eyes off.

Anleju became famous for a while, and even became a scenic spot here in Xizhou Datong, causing countless people to come to Xizhou Datong just to have a meal, or to admire Zhang Yanjin's villa at the foot of Cuiping Mountain.

With the opening of countless small restaurants, people who come to Xizhou to buy coal also have a place to eat and live, and it also allows the villagers in Datong, Xizhou to earn more money, which can be described as mutual benefit.

Under Zhang Yanjin's arrangement, Anleju will launch a new dish every once in a while.

There was no stir-frying in the Wei Dynasty, and most people only stewed or boiled it at home. Zhang Yanjin not only introduced grilled fish, but also fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried eggplant and other dishes.

Because the amber wine was selling so well, Zhang Yanjin set up a winery to brew amber wine for passers-by to buy.

But under this infinite scenery, Zhang Wuyi was a little worried when calculating the income of the coal mining farm.

"The weather is getting hotter, and the number of people buying coal is decreasing, isn't it normal?" Zhang Wuer comforted Zhang Wuyi when he accompanied Zhang Wuyi to the villa to look for Zhang Yanjin.

Zhang Wuyi didn't say a word, if the sales of coal in Xizhou fell, the coal shops in Chang'an City would have been out of business for a long time. If he didn't think of a way, he could only get in and out in the past few months. My heart can't be at ease no matter what.

After Zhang Yanjin heard what Zhang Wuyi was worried about, she laughed and said, "Do you still remember when I asked you to make a stove and continue to make briquettes?"

Zhang Wuyi and Zhang Wuer nodded. They were busy opening the inn for a while, and they almost forgot about it. They just inspected it every day and it was over. Now that they want to come to the warehouse, the stoves in the warehouse may not be able to pile up. right?

"The weather is getting hotter, the boiler fire is dusty, and the fire is hot, so it's hard to clean up, but the briquettes are different from the stove. You only need to use the iron clips we designed to clamp them out, which saves trouble and effort. .”

After Zhang Yanjin explained, he said, "When the weather gets warmer, it's time for us to sell the stove and coal."

After entrusting Zhang Wuyi and Wang Shi and Wang Jiu with full authority over the affairs here, Zhang Yanjin returned to Chang'an City with Zhang Wuer with packed coal, stove, and iron clips.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.What's more, what about the news between Zhou Qihui, the proud son of the Ruiguo government, the son of Wang Jianting, the son of the admonishing doctor, and Zhang Yanjin, who is famous for being a scoundrel?

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Zhou Qihui, Wang Jianting, and Zhang Yanjin once again became celebrities in Chang'an City for everyone to talk about when they are bored.

Zhou Qihui was ordered by Zhou Qin to contemplate behind closed doors after this incident spread in Chang'an City.Wang Jianting had a worse time than Zhou Qihui. After returning home, he was beaten by his father, locked up at home, and never let out again.

While the common people in Chang'an City talked about it, Zhang Zhongqian, who worked hard on political history every day and kept his ears to the outside world, also heard the rumors. He rubbed his temples with a headache, leaned on the table helplessly, and did not speak for a long time.

This nephew of his used to be a spendthrift, ignorant, only knowing how to enjoy himself. Although he made small mistakes all the time, he never made any big mistakes.

But ever since I beat him up in the hall, he no longer misses the place of fireworks, and he has no more attractive women. On the contrary, he has become enlightened and started to be practical, but every time he gets into trouble, it gets bigger and bigger .

Above the court, although Zhou Qin did not confront him tit for tat, he had little contact with him.

Now that Zhang Yanjin has humiliated Zhou Qihui and Wang Jianting so much, it is tantamount to putting him on the opposite side of Zhou Qin and the admonishing doctor Wang Lige. Adding up the three departments, it can be said that almost all the civil servants have been offended.

Ever since he fought with the emperor, he has never stood for a party, and has always followed the doctrine of the mean, but Zhang Yanjin's quarrel completely changed his position in the court.

When Zhang Zhongqian thought that there might be more and more troubles in the future, he wanted to arrest Zhang Yanjin and give him a beating.But he felt a little helpless, from Zhang Yanjin tossing stirrups and saddles, to tossing out red bricks, cement, distilled wine and other novel things, he felt that his nephew was no longer the kid who only caused trouble before.

Contrary to Zhang Zhongqian, when the emperor above the temple heard the news that Zhang Wuer forced the Du family away in Datong and humiliated Zhou Qihui and Wang Jianting, his expression was calm and he didn't say anything.

Facing the spring breeze, Zhang Yanjin returned to Chang'an City after admiring the landscape and flowers.At this time, Chang'an City is already full of spring, and the grass grows in the suburbs, and the children of Chang'an City are everywhere outing, enjoying the spring and composing poems. Of course, there are also Chen Su, who are completely arty dudes.

Zhang Yanjin and his group did not stay in the outskirts of Chang'an City due to the exhaustion of boats and vehicles in the past few days, but went directly to Chang'an's Zongheng 38th Street, heading for Ning Guogong's mansion.

Facing the street and facing south, the two stone lions in front of the Ningguo Mansion's mansion look more and more majestic when exposed to the sun, setting off the grandeur of the Ningguo Mansion's lintel without losing its majesty.

The sound of horseshoes accompanied by the scent of green grass came to the outside of Duke Ningguo's mansion, but after hearing a melodious neighing sound, the horseshoes raised their feet and stopped.

Wearing a black headdress and a brocade gown, the young Zhang Yanjin sat firmly on the horse, with a faint smile on his slightly tanned cheeks, staring at the gate of Ning Guogong's mansion.

The skinny young man next to him got off his horse and trotted to the gate, picked up the heavy copper ring hanging from the mouth of the golden lion, and knocked heavily on the gate.

There was only a creaking and heavy opening of the door, and the doorman's big black eyes were exposed through the small door.

When the boy saw the young man in brocade clothes sitting firmly on the horse, his big black eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Erlang is back!"

The originally quiet and solemn Duke Ningguo's mansion suddenly became noisy, and the door was completely opened from the inside.

Zhang Yanjin dismounted from the horse, with a light body, as if flying off the horse, and the people around her were pleasing to the eye.

Zhang Wuer arranged for everyone to bring all the things they brought back into the mansion, while Zhang Yanjin entered the mansion first to meet Mrs. Zhang and his uncle Zhang Zhongqian.

"You still dare to come back!" Zhang Zhongqian couldn't bear it this time, and cursed angrily when he saw Zhang Yanjin.

When Zhang Yanjin came back, she knew that she would definitely be scolded, so she stood obediently without saying a word, and just gave Mrs. Zhang a pitiful look.

"What are you doing all of you? My good grandson just came back, what do you want?" Mrs. Zhang's protective attitude was immediately caught by Zhang Yanjin's docile look. He stepped forward to grab Zhang Yanjin's arm and let Zhang Yanjin sit On a soft cushion.
