Crossing the Datang Restaurant

A blond Persian.

The exotic style and ancient architecture add radiance to each other, bringing a different style to this country.

Even in this hot summer, the city of Luoyang is also full of trees. The heat has not diminished the popularity of the city. Beside the canal, you can feel the breeze full of water vapor coming towards you, adding a different style to the city. .

It has been about a month since the incident in the mine that day. The few people just came out that day, and before they had eaten, Tang Guang received the news from his subordinates and left with a changed face. Before leaving Rong Yushu remembered that scene very clearly.

Tang Guang didn't even change his clothes that day, so he rode on his horse and left in a hurry with a group of people from Dali Temple. He just pulled the rein when he was walking on the tall horse and in front of Rong Yushu. The horse's hooves hung high, and Tang Guang sat on the horse, looking like a handsome seven-foot man. He asked in a stiff tone, "What's your name?" It was Rong Yushu who asked.

Although Rong Yushu was a little speechless, he still answered honestly: "My name is Rong Yushu, whose name is Wenyu, from Luoyang." He honestly performed the courtesy of a scholar, and did not expect Tang Guang to say anything when he looked up. Come.

Pulling the reins, Tang Guang and his party walked in a mighty manner.

Master Zhou Fu and Rong Yushu returned to Luoyang City without delay, but they heard a big event.

The emperor passed away, the crown prince came to the throne, and the whole country mourned together.Rong Yushu suddenly realized that this time has come.

Although I came to this world not long ago, I still have deep feelings for this Tang Taizong Li Shimin who left a strong pen and ink in history.

Li Shimin in history, just like Emperor Wu in the near future, has mixed merits and demerits. Some people say that his Xuanwumen change was too bloody, but his rule of Zhenguan is famous through the ages.Some people say that he is too careless, but his feelings for his queen are still missed many years after his death.

But these are all in the past tense. The emperor passed away and the whole country mourned together. Summer was originally a season of enthusiasm, but after the death of Tang Taizong, the people on the street seemed to be a little depressed.

That is, in front of the gates of Huajie and Liuxiang, there are not many graceful women looking for customers in front of the gates, and even the delicate orange-red glazed lanterns in front of the shops have been replaced with plain white.

It's obviously only midsummer, but the whiteness that can be seen everywhere has lowered the temperature of this summer a lot in another way.

Rong Yushu couldn't say it was very sad, every time when it was midsummer and deep winter, his lazy bones turned over again, but this time, with more ice in summer to cool down, he felt a lot better.

Of course his own shop was not open, and standing next to the stove in such a hot weather would have killed him.

Although the old customers in the past were a little disappointed, when they knew that Rong Yushu and the others were going to open a store in another street not far away, the only remaining disappointment turned into anticipation.

Rong Yushu smiled and assured the people in front of the store that after the new store opened, they would never be disappointed.

My family has to live. Although the shop in front of the door can usually make a lot of money, it is always a bit tiring, and with the three of us, it is still a lot of trouble to go out early and return late.

Cooperating with Zhou Fuye, I only need to go to the store from time to time to have a look, and then develop new products there. As for making things, Zhou Fuye also invited other people to be in charge, and I have a lot less things to do, so I feel more relaxed. few.

Rong Yushu took out all his savings over the years and managed to scrape together enough money.It was Rong Yushu who came up with the idea of ​​opening the shop, and most of the things in it were recipes brought out by Rong Yushu, and the ice products sold in the shop were also brought out by Rong Yushu at the beginning.

Zhou Fuye was in charge of all personnel matters, as well as trivial matters such as raw material procurement. In addition, the shop was also Zhou Fuye's own property, and he also sponsored a large sum of money.

In terms of dividends, once every two months, Rong Yushu took up [-]% and Zhou Fuye took up three floors.

Rong Yushu was a little embarrassed when he said this, but in the final analysis, after the store was on the right track, his own affairs were pitifully few, but they accounted for [-]%. A dedicated person is in charge, and I always feel that I am taking advantage of it.

After hearing this, Lord Zhou Fu laughed and said: "Wenyu, you have helped me a lot these few times. In addition, the method of making ice with saltpeter can already earn me a lot. Don't shirk it."

After the big accident in the mine, Zhou Fuye gave up the idea of ​​mining ore, changed his thinking, and talked with all the saltpeter miners near Henan Road. In summer, he made ice and sold ice, which made a lot of money. Less money.

Summer is the hottest time. Most of the ice is stored by rich people in winter. Ordinary people can’t afford it. Saltpeter is still relatively cheap at this time. Zhou Fuye set the price of ice so that ordinary people can consume it. Affordable, but slightly more expensive, for a while, the upper and middle classes around Luoyang sold very well, almost out of stock.I heard that it sells very well near the capital of Chang'an.

For a while, Master Zhou Fu's stomach seemed to gain weight again.

Of course, Rong Yushu's mood is also refreshing. To be honest, he is not as big as Zhou Fuye. He can buy all the saltpeter mines in Henan Province, and he can open a shop. The days are definitely not bad.

For the past few days, Rong Yushu was in a very good mood. Ever since he returned to Luoyang City, everything went smoothly, but the opening of the shop happened to happen in the past few days when Qi Qiao immediately The Qiqiao Festival was set to open on that day. There was no curfew on the day of Qiqiao Festival. With the death of the emperor some time ago, the sad atmosphere has gradually faded these days. People in Luoyang City are waiting for that day to be lively What about.

Having nothing to do, Rong Yushu took Brother Ming and Ah Fu to visit Mr. Zhou Fu. On the way, he ran into Xueniang next door. Xueniang was fussy, so they came together.

There is also ice in summer, so Rong Yushu can accomplish many things that he wants to do.

Xueniang sat in front of Zhou Fu and quarreled with each other. One satirized the other party for being fat and strong, and he could be dragged out for slaughter after a few days. The other said without showing any weakness that Xueniang was jealous of his recent big money.

Oh yes, there is one more person.

Tang Guang walked there in such a hurry that he forgot that there was another person buried underneath——Shao ​​Bing.

That guy was as slippery as a loach. Tang Guang originally wanted to mention him to Chang'an, but he didn't expect for a while that Fu Yin disappeared when he was looking for him later. Rong Yushu originally thought that there should be no chance to meet each other in this life. Who knows, after seven days, that guy came to join him with a bag full of bags and a thin and frail boy in his teens who said he was his apprentice named Xiaodouzi.

For a while, Rong Yushu was really dumbfounded, and couldn't be driven away. Xueniang happened to see it, and Xueniang quietly told him that Shaobing was a famous "thousand machine hand" in the world, and he was very good at making hidden weapons. Famous, but unfortunately disappeared a year ago, still asking Rong Yushu how he abducted this guy.

Rong Yushu was a little funny, and told Xueniang about her experience in Zhougu County. Xueniang felt a little emotional for a while, and scolded Master Zhou Fu for being a fat pig, and nothing good will happen all day long.

The reason why Shao Bing came here was because Rong Yushu's reaction to the flame made Shao Bing feel very right. After he escaped that day, he went to his original place, took his apprentice over, and found Luoyang City. God knows how he found Rong Yushu, insisting that everyone make progress together.

Let's make progress together!

It's a pity that the other party refused to leave. It was too crowded for two people to live in Rong Yushu's place, so he said that he would put it at Zhou Fuye's side.

Master Zhou Fu was cheerful and indifferent, Rong Yushu decided to play the remaining role of Shaobing, waste utilization, didn't he want to study fireworks?Rong Yushu asked Zhou Fuye to set up a special place not far from Luoyang City to study fireworks. Hearing that there has been a major breakthrough in the past few days, Rong Yushu was delighted to think of using it to open his new store. When , the effect is definitely very good.

Of course Shaobing is happy, there is a special place for him to study here, there are also a lot of free research materials for him to squander (Zhou Fuye is a local tyrant), and he can go to Rong Yushu to grab something to eat from time to time, In less than half a month, Shao Bing and Xiao Douzi, who were originally a little thin, seemed much more energetic.

Several people sat on their seats honestly, Xueniang chatted with Zhou Fuye from time to time, and Shao Bing helped Zhou Fuye to sarcasm from time to time, but what he didn't expect was that Xiaodouzi took refuge in others. On the side, he blamed his master.

Rong Yushu is in the kitchen. Ever since Rong Yushu often came here, Zhou Fuye has prepared a lot of condiments in his house. Pepper and pepper, which can be regarded as luxury seasonings in the Tang Dynasty, are all used casually.

It was Weishi at this time, after the hottest noon, it felt better now, Rong Yushu rummaged through the icehouse, and took out a bucket of milk.

Of course, the milk is still raw. It was not long ago that Zhou Fuye specially invited someone to squeeze fresh milk outside. Rong Yushu shook his head, so it is not good to have this in ancient times. It is also a trouble to sterilize the milk. matter.

However, the milk of this sugar-steamed crispy cheese also needs to be boiled on a low heat for about 10 minutes, let the milk slowly evaporate a certain amount of water on the slow fire, then add white sugar, wait for the time to pass, let it cool next to it, and put the dough Peel off the milk skin on the top.

Stir the cooled milk and rice wine evenly. The rice wine is old, and it feels sweet and intoxicating just by smelling it.

After all these are completed, the mixed milk and rice wine can be placed on the steamer, covered with a layer of gauze, and steamed for about a quarter of an hour. snacks on.

This is the food of old Beijing. Looking at the remaining half of the milk, the fresh milk can’t be kept for a long time, but I suddenly remembered that it is actually similar to sugar steamed crispy cheese, called milk rolls. Something that just happens to do.

I also liked to eat it when I was alive, but the price is also expensive. After I came back and made it once, I found that this food consumes a lot of milk.

The method is similar, but the difference is that rice wine should be poured into the milk and boiled together. After adding sugar, the milk will coagulate into flocs and separate from the liquid after a short time. away from fire.

Put the gauze cloth on a special clean small bucket, clamp it firmly, and pour all the remaining boiled milk on it.

The milky yellow milk whey fell into the bucket. Because there were two layers of gauze, the speed was a bit slow, so it was stirred and shaken to speed up the dripping.

Brother Ming had been standing next to him, but he was afraid that he would be tired, so he looked at the contents in the bucket and asked curiously, "Is this something you don't want anymore?"

Rong Yushu smiled and said, "Of course not. This thing is also a part of milk, called whey. At that time, add some other things to adjust the taste. Drinking it is better for the body than plain water."

Brother Ming frowned, carefully studying what was on the surface.

It’s almost time for the sugar-steamed shortbread cheese, when it was brought out, the milky white solid was still rippling, and it seemed that it hadn’t completely solidified, so Rong Yushu simply carried it to the ice cellar next to it to freeze for a while, and concentrated on making it The milk roll in front of you.

The milk flocs on the gauze went through a series of kneading, and then were dried artificially, barely becoming a cheese-like solid, somewhat like soft dough.Put the dough on the flat gauze, knead it repeatedly, and speed up the drying to make its shape more delicate and full.

The milk of the dough is pressed firmly to form a rectangular thing, and the previously steamed and cooked honey red bean paste that has been mashed with red bean paste is added to it.

Attached to the gauze, it is rolled up like making sushi, and finally sliced ​​slowly. The dark red red bean paste and white cheese complement each other, and it looks very appetizing just from the appearance.

Along with the sugar-steamed shortbread frozen in the freezer, sprinkled with the previous honey red beans, and the previously made syrup cherries, embellished with it, it looks attractive.

As soon as it was served, several people gathered around. Xueniang touched the cherry on top curiously, looked at the milky white sugar steamed shortbread cheese below, and asked curiously: "What is this? Milk? Is it milk?" I know, but how to make such a hard thing.”

Xue Niang's movements are gentle, the crispy cheese is as smooth as fat, and it is served with honey red beans on top, which are as small as coral beads, and two cherries in syrup, served in a celadon bowl, just looking at it makes one feel unbearable to eat Feel.

Master Zhou Fu laughed loudly, and finally got back the game, and said: "You don't understand this, it's called cheese, it was invented by the nomads in the north, I ate it once, although the appearance is the same, but this time But there is no fishy smell. But I don’t know the others.”

Speaking of milk rolls.

Rong Yushu explained two things with a smile. The texture of the milk roll is really soft and can only be scooped up with a spoon.

Several people couldn't wait to start.Ah Fu is the fastest eater, just like drinking. After two bites, he said to Rong Yushu with some grievances: "Master, there is no more."

Rong Yushu laughed, Ah Fu was greedy and usually devoured peonies, but he still promised: "It doesn't matter, there are still some in the ice cellar, if it is not enough this time, make more next time, it's up to you. "

It is as moist as snow and sweet in the mouth. It is not only cold and fragrant, but also melts in the heart. It is really enjoyable to pair with the smooth milk roll next to it.

Rong Yushu himself took a sip, the yoghurt had a slightly bad smell and was a little cold, and he felt that most of the heat had gone away.

After several people drank it, they still felt that it was not enough. After several people took out all the contents of the ice cellar and drank it, they still felt that it was not enough. Xiao Douzi pursed his mouth and said, "I'm even more hungry."

Xiaodouzi is about ten years old, with bushy eyebrows and big eyes revealing a sense of wit, and he is the most affectionate towards Rong Yushu, saying that he doesn't know how much he has been eating since he made a meal with him.

Rong Yushu said a little funny: "That's it for today, after the afternoon tea, we will have dinner later."

If something is enough once, then next time it won't be attractive at all?

The author has something to say:

☆, the name of the restaurant is Qianshi

Not long after, it was time for dinner, Rong Yushu looked in the kitchen, because at Rong Yushu's request, Master Zhou Fu bought a lot of red peppers.

Chili peppers at this time were still considered a luxury item. The bright red Chaotian peppers smelled pungent even if they were placed in the kitchen yard, and they were taken out to dry during the day, and now they became a bit dry.But what didn't hinder was Rong Yushu's cheerful mood.

Rong Yushu's taste is not fixed, as long as the taste is good, he likes all kinds of hot and sour. He also likes to eat some chili peppers, but since he came to the Tang Dynasty, the chili peppers are not always predictable, just fresh Putting the chili in front of me, just thinking about it made my tongue feel a little irritated.

Looking at the top of the stove, a piece of fat pork belly came into view, Rong Yushu's eyes lit up, and he took the pork belly in his hands. Dongpo pork is famous, but it actually has another name - wrinkle Pi Dongpo, after so many years, people in different places have different ways of doing it.

However, the general method is still the same. Wash a large piece of pork belly, boil it in a pot with water, remove it when it is half-ripe, and rub salt, vinegar, and soy sauce on the skin.Then boil the oil pan and put the meat in, because he doesn't like to eat too greasy fatty meat, so he fry it for a long time, and then take out the fat after roughly boiling it out.

The skin of the fried pork belly is blistered and wrinkled. Then add green onion, ginger, cooking wine, star anise, cinnamon, white sugar and broth to the pot. After making a marinade, put the skin of the pork belly down and marinate it. The good pork belly is then cut into small pieces of a finger, put it in a special small clay pot, put the marinade just left, cover it and seal it, and steam it over high heat until the meat is cooked.

The steamed Dongpo pork with wrinkled skin is not as greasy as ordinary braised pork. The wrinkled skin on the surface is a little crispy, but after such a steaming, it is a little soft. This thick soup is just right.

In addition to the commonly used pork belly in the kitchen, the cook seems to have bought some wild game and some wild quail, which Ming Geer helped cook. But it was tight and strong.

The quail that Rong Yushu is going to make is also very particular. Although the main ingredient is quail, there are a lot of ingredients, such as shiitake mushrooms, cooked gizzards, tender bamboo shoots, scallops and ham.

Wash all these ingredients and cut them into small cubes, add salt and mix well, put them in the middle of the quail's belly, sew them up with a needle and thread, put the quail in boiling water for a while, put it in a steaming plate, and cut it short Silk thread, pull out the silk thread, and steam it in a pan for a period of time.

The steaming time should not be too long, take it out just after it is ready, fry it in a boiling oil pan until golden brown, remove it, and drizzle with sesame oil.

The eight rough quails are golden in color, crispy on the outside, glutinous and delicious, and rich in nutrition. What's more, the quail's belly is rich in ingredients, and the shape is good to say, anyway, it's all eaten by the family.

After the two dishes were finished, Rong Yushu didn't know what to do, and fell into grief beside him, Brother Ming helped him, seeing Rong Yushu's distressed look, he said thoughtfully: "Young master, don't worry about it." After thinking so much, it’s enough to fry two more home-cooked dishes, and it’s not for the emperor to eat. If you mix the meat and vegetables in it and cook them together, the taste will not be bad.”

Brother Ming's words reminded Rong Yushu, his eyes lit up, yes, can't we have a hodgepodge?

Rong Yushu happily said to Brother Ming: "Brother Ming, help me find some bamboo sticks, quickly."

Brother Ming didn't know why, but he always obeyed Rong Yushu's words, and the sticks were easy to find, even in the groceries, they were used by those people to support things.

Rong Yushu happily skewered the mixed vegetables in the kitchen, green vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, snail meat, oyster and mussel meat, hairy belly chicken, and the rest of the meat and vegetables that could be skewered. good.

The only pity is that beef was not allowed to be eaten in ancient times. The government clearly stipulated that those who slaughtered cattle would be sentenced to one year. In modern times, whether it is hot pot or ordinary dishes, beef tastes fresh and tender, and the taste and nutrition are better than pork. It’s a pity It's impossible now.

Use spices, watercress, and Chinese prickly ash to stir-fry the condiments, and finally add the old soup to make a pot of soup base with some strange fragrance, fresh and spicy.

Pour the soup base into an earthen pot, put the threaded skewers in the earthen pot and cook them well, so that the bright red oil soup base can submerge all the ingredients, and cook all the dishes separately , put it in a celadon pot, ladle the soup base, and sprinkle green onions, garlic, peppers, and coriander on top.

In his last life, Rong Yushu traveled around provinces and cities, and stayed in Bashu area for a long time. Among them, skewers and hot pot left a deep impression on his heart. He likes spicy food, so he stayed there for a long time. For half a month, I went to the street to eat every day, but the taste of hot pot was not the same. As the predecessor of hot pot, cold pot skewers were invented by common people, which is convenient and cheap.

When it was taken out, it was naturally fragrant, and there was a spicy oily smell in the air.

Xiaodouzi sniffed it, and then said timidly: "Smelling the smell of chili, my mouth will start to hurt again." Although he said this, but for some reason, his mouth began to secrete saliva, and he kept swallowing. saliva.

Luoyang is actually a very tolerant city. As the center of the economy, it can accept people and things from various countries. This is the pepper. Although the mouth feels a little uncomfortable when it is spicy, it is still quickly used as a high-end seasoning and pepper. Wait until it becomes popular in Luoyang City.

Rong Yushu didn't care about these things when he saw the people on the table. He happily greeted Brother Ming to sit down quickly, and with a smile on his face, he picked two pieces of the largest chicken breasts and put them on the table for Brother Ming and Ah. In Fu's bowl, beckon the two to eat.

Maybe it's because they have been with Rong Yushu for a long time, and the two people's ability to resist spicy food has also improved. Putting it in the mouth, the numbness of the peppercorns and the slight stimulation of pepper, the most important thing is that the salty fragrance is suitable, and it has been boiled for a while. It's all incorporated.

The pink meat, the bright red soup, the emerald green vegetables, and the emerald blue bowl are distinct and pleasing to the eye.

After eating it, Xueniang realized that the food was not as spicy as she had imagined. She was so annoyed that she quickly grabbed it regardless of her image.

In addition to these things, Brother Ming also helped stir-fry a few dishes. The table was full, and his mouth was full of oil. By the way, he took a sip of the whey left over when Rong Yushu made milk rolls before, and added some ice cubes. Immediately, the pain in the mouth was not so uncomfortable.

Ah Fu's favorite is the wrinkled skin Dongpo. Although it is all meat, the fried meat is steamed for a while, and the gravy is overflowing. It can be eaten with a big bowl of rice.

Rong Yushu said to him with a smile: "Eat slowly, I specially made your portion." This tea was specially made for Ah Fu. Well, it was covered with gauze for more than ten days, and of course I couldn't hold anything with my fingers, and Brother Ming helped feed me even the meals.

Ah Fu was moved with tears in his eyes, and said: "It's really great to follow the young master."

Mr. Zhou Fu's favorite is the eight rough quail dish, fried crispy skin, firm meat, paired with Bie Nan's Yaochun wine, the taste is refreshing, and some quails are just right to go with the wine, and Shaobing two people Drink two cups quite artistically.

The quail meat was tight, and the two of them were not in a hurry, and slowly tore it with their hands.

Xiaodouzi was the most afraid of spicy food before, but the pot of bamboo skewers was the most enjoyable. It was so spicy that he stuck his tongue out, but he still couldn't stop.

Rong Yushu knocked Shao Bing's hand out for a piece of chicken, and in exchange for a stare from the other side, he said, "So what's the matter?"

Rong Yushu said calmly: "Eat, eat, eat, you will know how to eat. By the way, let me ask you, what happened to the fireworks I asked you to make?"

Shao Bing showed a somewhat smug expression on his face, but before he could open his mouth, Xiao Douzi snatched him over and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Rong, Master, he has done everything for you, and when your shop opens, wait for it." At night, the fireworks will definitely satisfy you."

Shao Bing's eyes widened, and he patted Xiaodouzi's head with his greasy hand that hadn't been wiped, and said loudly, "I want you to speak for me, don't talk too much."

Then he lazily said to Rong Yushu: "Then you can rest assured, but the fireworks are only beautiful when they are set off at night. Your shop is open during the day, so what should you do? Why don't you use firecrackers? They are loud and can definitely Attracting all people's attention, and your craftsmanship is also good, maybe you can compare with that Yunxi Tower by then."

Rong Yushu said with some amusement: "My shop is still somewhat different from a restaurant after all, but I don't think it can compare to Yunxi Restaurant. I heard that the master chefs there are the skills of imperial chefs."

When talking about this, Mr. Zhou Fu also sighed and said: "Unfortunately, Master Chen from Mr. Wu's place has also left. Otherwise, let him give pointers. Maybe it's really okay. Compared with Yunxi Tower."

Speaking of this, Rong Yushu also sighed. Master Wu's attitude towards him has improved a lot, especially when he knew that he was still a Juren, his attitude could be considered kind.

Rong Yushu didn't have any special opinions, but in ancient times, business was light on business, no matter how rich you are, in terms of status, you are just a commoner, and the common people don't fight with officials, which is a true portrayal of feudal society.

That master Chen is indeed a descendant of the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, and his craftsmanship is indeed excellent. Unfortunately, I don’t know if Rong Yushu said something that stimulated him. After that day, after waiting for Master Wu to come back , so he resigned and left, and when Rong Yushu remembered, that Master Chen had already left for about half a day.

Although it's a bit of a pity, but thinking about it, maybe it's not fate. Rong Yushu is not sad at all. Cooking by himself is just for self-entertainment and satisfying his appetite. He doesn't have any other lofty ideals , such as entering the palace as an imperial cook or something.

Master Zhou Fu was humming a ditty, his fingers were still beating the beat, he closed his eyes, shook his eyes, and suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes, and said to Rong Yushu in a panic: "Oh, look at my memory. , the master of the plaque in the shop found me today and asked me what my name was. I wanted to wait to ask you, but at this time, Wenyu, you are a scholar, you are the main force in this shop, you said, What’s the name, I’ll call back to the craftsmen when the time comes.”

Rong Yushu was eating quail. Hearing this, he pondered for a while, stopped his movements, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Yes, let's call it, how about Qianshi Restaurant?"

Thousands of food, as the name suggests, means a thousand kinds of food. My own shop may not be able to reach that level, but to a certain extent, it also reflects the meaning of a wide variety, a mix of north and south, and exquisite food.

Master Zhou Fu laughed loudly, patted the table, and said, "Okay! Then it will be settled like this, and it will be called Qianshi Restaurant."

The author has something to say:

☆. Stores open during Qiqiao Festival ([-])

Qiqiao Festival, also known as Qixi Festival by later generations, is celebrated every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. .It comes from the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl.Because ancient women hoped to follow Zhinu as an example.Therefore, on the seventh sister's birthday, they will offer sacrifices to the seventh sister, praying for their ingenuity and a happy marriage.

Such a festival, which is equivalent to the modern Valentine's Day, was considered rare to celebrate in the Tang Dynasty. Although there was a curfew in Luoyang City, it would be canceled every Qixi Festival. In addition, Luoyang City's The streets can be described as brightly lit and bustling.

There is a Luoyang Palace in Luoyang City, which occupies the highest position in Luoyang City in the northwest corner of Luoyang. The palace city and imperial city were built on this highland, forming a sandwich city.Tang Taizong Li Shimin once ordered people to repair Luoyang Palace twice, and it is said that he lived in Luoyang Palace for two years.

The Luo River flows through the middle of Luoyang City, and flows eastward in a mighty way. The scenery on both sides of the Luo River is beautiful, with green lakes and mountains, and sparkling water. This rare festival, when Emperor Taizong died, gave the whole Tang Dynasty A gloomy atmosphere was shrouded in it, and it was hard to pass the depressing days. Even the plain white lanterns on the street were all removed a few days ago.

Rong Yushu stood beside Yishui, looking at the green water of this small river, with willow trees on both sides, and from time to time, one or two women would carry a large basin of clothes, and the river flowed slowly, sighing to himself I also experienced the passing of a Ming emperor, but I still have to live this day, maybe because he is not a person of this era, or maybe he has insight into history long ago, and I don’t have much feeling for the passing of this emperor inside.

Outer Guocheng of Luoyang City has 8 gates in total.The streets in the city intersect vertically and horizontally to form a chessboard layout.Dingdingmen Street is also called Tianmen Street.There are 103 squares in Luoyang City, surrounded by square walls, with a door in the middle of the wall, and a cross street in the middle of the square.

Rong Yushu's shop happened to be on the road between Changxiamen and Jianchunmen, adjacent to Nanshi, a bustling area.Although it is not as dignified as Dingding Gate, and there are royal relatives and relatives living around it, it is also a favorite place for ordinary people. The south is just a place with beautiful scenery, and it is also a favorite place for literati and poets.

For the price of such a shop alone, the rent must not be cheap. Fortunately, this was originally one of Zhou Fuye's many properties. It was assigned to Rong Yushu and opened as a store.

Rong Yushu was a little grateful, but Zhou Fuye repeatedly waved his hands and said no, saying that his previous business was not profitable, and he was still optimistic about the shop he opened.

During the decoration, Zhou Fuye also asked Rong Yushu for his special opinion. Rong Yushu is still not proficient in decoration, so he can only give a little picture of his ideal restaurant, mainly including The ones are some of the kitchen.

Rongyu's book was originally just an idea, but after it was proposed in advance, it was implemented so quickly, and it felt a little unprepared.

Walking in front of my shop, the shop is in a corner of the river. The feng shui above indicates that the wealth is rolling in. It is an independent two-story building, which looks exquisite and elegant. It used to be an antique business, so from In appearance, it doesn't look like a restaurant.

It is bustling in front of the restaurant. Master Zhou Fu's round figure is commanding calmly. The Xueniang next to him also has a face of exquisite makeup, a gown with a pale red background embroidered with gold and a water blue background. The butterfly and crescent-colored palace skirt looks like a celestial maiden, and the flower beads are inserted in the lightly curled temples, making the whole person look as bright as spring flowers and as bright as the autumn moon.

Even Brother Ming was directing Ah Fu to set up a stool in front of the door, and hung a plaque on it. The plaque was hung with bright red silk and satin, blocking the words on the front of the plaque. In front of the shop, there was Several masters, who were invited here before, are also in a hurry to prepare things to be sold later, and are helping.

In contrast, Rong Yushu, who had gone for a walk by the river before, was much more relaxed. Feeling a little guilty for no reason, he touched his nose and quietly wanted to sneak in, but was caught by the sharp-eyed Xue Niang. He was so aggressive that he wanted to come over and pull his ears.

"Okay, Wenyu, everyone is busy, you are the only one who is lazy!" Xueniang has a hot and unrestrained personality, and usually has a certain deterrent effect on Rong Yushu. Seeing Xueniang coming over like this, Rong Yushu also Somewhat inexplicably afraid, she smiled guiltily and said, "Where, Xueniang, I just went to Nanshi to see if there is anything I need to buy."
