A Dream of Red Mansions I Am Jia Huan

Chapter 3 Visiting the Capital

In the early morning of the second day, Jia Huan told Qin Ye that he wanted to go out for a stroll.Qin Ye was originally a reasonable person, so he agreed after a few orders.After that, Qin Zhong was called.Jia Huan knew that he was worried about him, so he didn't object.After leaving the Qin Mansion, Jia Huan asked Qin Zhong where the most prosperous street in the capital was.Qin Zhong told him it was "Chang'an Avenue".So the master and servants walked towards the most prosperous "Chang'an Street".

When he arrived at Chang'an Avenue, Jia Huan suddenly discovered that the capital of the ancients was also so prosperous.Just entering town yesterday was the tip of the iceberg.This street is several times more prosperous than the most prosperous Ningrong Street in Jinling.If you really want to compare Tiantian Street, then Wangfujing is on par with those small county markets.Fortunately, Jia Huan said, after all, he had been to a big city like Beijing in his previous life.But Zhang Xing and Li Guang behind him were completely attracted by the bustling scene.I was speechless for a while.

"Cousin, what do you think of Chang'an Street!" Qin Zhong said proudly.

"Well, it's not bad. It's about the same as I imagined. By the way, Cousin Qin, which is the best restaurant here?" Jia Huan asked lightly.For him, such a street market is nothing.After all, he has seen a lot more than this prosperous one.

"The restaurants here are all good, but if you want to say that the best and most famous one is "Food is the Heaven". I heard that the food there is much more expensive than other places." Qin Zhong talked endlessly .

"Oh, my cousin has eaten there. How do you feel?" Jia Huan looked at Qin Zhong excitedly and said.

Hearing Jia Huan's words, Qin Zhong shrugged and said, "Well...I usually don't have that much monthly money. Naturally, I wouldn't go to that kind of extravagant place."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard that, you have never been there, and you still speak so clearly.I really thought you had been there.A little contempt for Qin Zhong in his heart, and then he smiled and said, "Oh, it doesn't matter. In this way, today my cousin is sitting in the manor, so it's often rare to invite my cousin to the "food is the sky"!"

"Okay! Okay! But the food there is very expensive. At that time, I heard from a friend that his uncle ordered a table of meals at "Food for the Sky". I don't want to spend as much as 100 taels. Cousin, you ..."

Seeing Qin Zhong's worried eyes, Jia Huan smiled and said, "When I came, my family gave me some money."As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his clothes and shook them.

Zhang Xing and Li Guang felt contemptuous in their hearts, a mere 100 taels was not enough to even eat desserts in the wealthy district of Wanxiangyuan.

Qin Zhong felt relieved looking at the many bank notes, and thought to himself, this Jia family is really rich.The rumors are indeed true——Jia is not false, Bai Yu is the king's horse.

The four walked towards "Food is the sky" all the way.Not long after.I saw an extraordinary restaurant. Looking from a distance, the restaurant was hung with red and green, and the lights were shining, which was extraordinary.On the top of the main building, there is a pair of golden hats hanging high, and there are three gilt characters on it: "Food is the sky"

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Er greeted him with a smiling face. "Hey, how many people, please come inside. Look at the few people who are not locals, maybe they are tourists from other places!"

Jia Huan nodded and followed him in.Once inside, Jia Huan felt that the boss was also a decent person.The hotel is divided into two floors.The first floor is spacious and bright.Several pillars were freshly painted with red paint.Tables and chairs are not as dirty as other restaurants.There is also a special table in the hall.Someone is talking about it.It really looks like a Deyun Society!

That Xiao Er has been rolling around for many years, and at a glance, he can see that the real master here is the youngest one.He smiled and said to Jia Huan, "Master, let me tell you, we are one of the best restaurants in the capital. Just tell us what you want to eat. We can get it for you."

"Oh! Then I really want to try. Find us a quiet place first. However, I want to hear what that man is talking about!" Jia Huan said to Xiaoer.

That Xiaoer didn't know what Jia Huan meant, so he led Jia Huan and others upstairs.Find a place to lean against the railing for everyone to sit down.Jia Huan saw that they were near the window and could clearly hear what was going on below, so he called them to sit down.

"Cousin, I'm a guest today, you can order whatever you want." Jia Huan looked at the tense Qin Zhong with a smile.

"En. En. Let's have a chicken stew with mushrooms..."

"what!?"

"Pfft..." Jia Huan, who had just drank water into his mouth, couldn't help but spit it out when he heard Qin Zhong's words, spraying Xiao Er all over his face.

"Cough, cough! Cousin. Let me do it." In order to prevent Qin Zhong from embarrassing himself again.Jia Huan decided to order some by himself.

"Hey! It's the first time I saw someone come to eat chicken and stewed mushrooms," Xiao Er thought to himself.The eyes look at Qin Zhong intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, the person involved, Qin Zhong, didn't feel it at all, and sat there naturally. In his opinion, this stewed chicken with mushrooms was considered a high-end dish.

"You, don't look, order. Listen carefully, I want a flat magpie three bean drink, eel and eggplant, stewed bamboo shoots, ginger and scallion crab, colored shredded pork, Anton chicken, hot and sour pork, and finally Let's have a soup of sea rice and yellow fungus. Serve these first." Jia Huan clapped his hands and said.

Here Xiao Er was dumbfounded, he had never heard of any of the dishes Jia Huan mentioned.Let alone do it.Now he stood at a loss and didn't dare to move.

"Huh? Why are you still standing here instead of letting the kitchen cook!" Jia Huan looked at the waiter in dissatisfaction.

"That...my lord, we don't have...the dishes you mentioned!" The waiter said in embarrassment.

"Didn't you say that you have everything here?" Jia Huan looked at the waiter strangely and said.

"That, that, you really don't have the few things you said. How about I serve our special cuisine for you!" The waiter quickly recovered.

Jia Huan said dissatisfiedly, "What! These dishes are the most common dishes in our hometown. Hey, forget it, you can use your specialties."

After the waiter walked downstairs in embarrassment, Jia Huan, Zhang Xing, and Li Guang finally couldn't help laughing.In fact, these dishes are Wanxiangyuan's exclusive dishes.Not at all elsewhere.Jia Huan deliberately punished the second child.Qin Zhong, the only one who was not smiling, finally understood why Jia Huan didn't let him order food.It's a shame to order by yourself!So when all the dishes came out, Qin Zhong couldn't stop eating.It seems that he wants to vent his depression just now on food.

After Jia Huan finished his meal, he began to listen to the storytelling downstairs, and at this time he had changed to another person.The person who spoke looked like a Confucian scholar in his 40s.Grow a little beard.I just heard him say, "... By the way, that King Ning is really a sage in the world. He treats people respectfully, corporal, and is gentle and amiable. Everyone here still remember last year, when the hill outside the capital collapsed, it was King Ning himself who led his troops and braved the heavy snow to rescue Killed hundreds of people! And a few months ago..." This person said with enthusiasm.It's not worse than the brainwashing of the pyramid schemes of later generations.Just listening to it, Jia Huan didn't hear it right.

"Although there are many heirs of today's emperor, none of them is more worthy than the king of Shangning... To compare martial arts, the prince once led an army of [-] to repel hundreds of thousands of Tartars. Speaking of contributions to our dynasty, Is there anyone in the current dynasty who can compare with the prince of my dynasty? I believe everyone here has heard about the fact that the current emperor is critically ill. The current emperor has not appointed a crown prince, why is this. From now on, it seems that the emperor intends to let King Ning succeeds to the throne!" As soon as these words came out, there was a sensation in the audience.But it's not against it, on the contrary, there are many people clapping the table and applauding it!

But Jia Huan smiled coldly, "Generally ignorant people are the people! What kind of virtuous king, I'm afraid he is just a traitor who wants to usurp the throne."
