Caesar Ming had never taken the initiative to talk about the Shiwen Grain Shop with others. Shen Yan used to be the magistrate of a county in Yang County, so it's not surprising that he knew about it.

Father Cen also vaguely knew that Cassia Ming was the manager of the Shiwen Liang Shop in Yang County, so he asked whether the Cassia Ming shop was operating legally.

Shiwenliangpu had generously donated money and rescued many people when natural disasters struck, so Father Cen took it for granted that Shiwenliangpu was a shop that focused on relief and supplemented by business.If the owner behind the shop has such a compassionate mind, it must not be a bad shop.

Jue Ming took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "Shiwenliangpu is a store that focuses on relief, and sales are secondary. I met its owner by chance, so I stayed in Shiwenliangpu for a while." There is no boss, all of them are alone.

Li Xiurong asked: "What else?"

Caesar also briefly talked about what Shiwenliangpu is currently selling and where there are shops.

After listening, Li Xiurong asked: "Huh? What else?"

"What else?" Jue Ming said, "Shen Yan said that recently someone was looking for who is behind the Shiwen Liang Shop, but they couldn't find out."

Also, Shen Yan told him not to go out alone in the next few days, he was afraid that someone would follow the clues to get to Cassia.

"Why do you want to check the Shiwen grain store?" Li Xiurong continued to ask.

Cassia: "..." I don't know either!

After thinking about it, Jueming said, "Maybe it's because the Shiwen Grain Shop touched someone's interests."

In the beginning, Jue Ming was beaten with a sack, but luckily he was saved by Shen Yan.

When he was in Yang County, Jueming had already closed a store. If someone really checked the Shiwen Grain Store, shouldn't the other stores be more cautious?

Caesar finished drinking the bowl of boiled water in front of him, sat at the table and meditated.

The Shiwenliang shop was finally opened, forming a set of freight lines.

But Jueming was afraid that Lan Zhu's incident would be exposed, so apart from providing hybrids once a year, all the other grains and seeds in the grain store were bought from tenants who had surplus grain, and the source could be traced.

If no one checks carefully, the improved seeds in the Shiwen Grain Shop are very likely to be exposed.

The worst result is that someone found out that there was only one person behind the Shiwen grain shop, Cassia Ming.

Thinking of this, the expression on Jueming's face became more dignified. If some evil-minded people check Shiwen grain shop...

Seeing Jueming's worried look, Li Xiurong couldn't help asking softly, "Will checking Shiwen and Grain Shop bother you?"

Jueming recovered from his contemplation, met Li Xiurong's concerned gaze, and shook his head, "It's okay, just operate as usual."

Li Xiurong: "?"

Li Xiurong was about to ask what is the routine operation, when the bamboo curtain was raised, and the dishes began to be served.

This matter is so mysterious to Jueming, Li Xiurong didn't want to delve into it further on this occasion, so he changed the topic and introduced to Jueming what he ordered today.

All he ate on the way to Bianjing was the inn's food and drink. After arriving in Bianjing, Cen's father had been busy and had no chance to go out to eat with him.

This is the first time that Jue Ming has eaten authentic Song Dynasty dishes in a restaurant in Bianjing.

Dishes of all colors and flavors were brought up in trays, and one person held the maroon tray, and placed a small wine cup and a small colored porcelain bottle for the two of them.

Li Xiurong rolled up his sleeves, took a small bottle to fill up two wine cups, and said with his head down, "This is fairy dew, and it tastes relatively mild."

Caesar smelled the aroma of wine and couldn't help asking: "Is this wine?"

Li Xiurong raised his head, "What's wrong with the wine? Now you are sixteen and I am eighteen, isn't it the age for drinking?"

In ancient times, it was even possible to get married at this age, and Jue Ming always felt a little awkward. Whether it was before or now, he had never drunk baijiu.

"Come, come." Li Xiurong put the wine cup in front of Jueming, and said enthusiastically, "Try it."

Caesar Ming brought it to his mouth and took a sip. Although Xianlu smelled like wine, it was not as spicy as imagined in his mouth.

Before eating the food, Jue Ming took a sip and put it down.

Li Xiurong didn't force him, he called Wu Yuan in, sat at the same table, and started to introduce the dishes to Jueming today.

There were two seasonal vegetables fried with garlic on the table. Li Xiurong skipped them and introduced them one by one to Caesar: "This one is raw roasted roe deer meat, hot and sour sprouts, and grilled stuffed sea cucumber."

There are soy bean sprouts in the hot and sour bean sprouts, another kind of bean that Cayman does not know, Li Xiurong held a chopstick for himself, urging Cayman to eat it quickly.

Cassia also picked up a chopstick, and the sprouts tasted crisp, hot and sour.

Pick up a piece of sea cucumber and put it in your mouth. The sea cucumber tastes soft and full of umami.

The curtain was lifted again, and several dishes were served one after another.

Grilled fish with ginger sauce, braised eel, sliced ​​suckling pig, roast pigeon, pancakes, roast lamb.

Most of them are meat dishes, and Li Xiurong also ordered a cold lotus root dish, which is served with meat dishes to relieve the greasiness.

These dishes are enough for the three men. Li Xiurong picked up a piece of pancake, brushed it with a little bean paste with a spoon, filled it with mutton, rolled it up and took it to eat, while signaling to Cassia to eat like this.

"This roast mutton is made by digging a big pit on the ground and putting charcoal fire in it. The whole lamb is skewered and seasoned and put into the pit for roasting." After Li Xiurong finished speaking, he introduced that suckling pigs and pigeons were hung up for roasting. Brush the seasoning on the side of the roast. These two roasting methods have their own characteristics. After the meat is roasted, the seasoning will be added to the meat, making it delicious and not greasy.

It is worthy of being cooked by a chef in Kyoto, and the ancient ingredients are not polluted, so it tastes delicious.

Once Cassia Ming started picking up vegetables, his hands and mouth never stopped, and he was half full just eating the vegetables.

When the three of them had almost eaten, Wu Yuan sent someone to clean up the table, put the tea set and a bowl of sour plum soup on it again.

Jue Ming took a sip of the sour plum soup, the greasy taste in his mouth was disintegrated by the sour plum soup, and it was very refreshing to drink.

Not long after, several pastries were placed on the table, as well as preserved fruits and meats that Cayman had never seen before.

Butterfly crisps, chestnut cakes, and red bean paste rolls were eaten by Caesar. Li Xiurong didn't say much, and introduced the preserved fruits on the table, "This is pear sticks, forest slices, and candied plums. The meat slices are pork jerky in honey sauce. and beef strips."

Caesar tasted them one by one, and when he ate Lin Qin slices, the taste was unexpectedly familiar. After eating two slices, he realized that Lin Qin was an ancient apple.

Apples at this time are not as delicious as modern apples. It would be wonderful if we could get a few trees and plant them.

Satisfied after a meal, Li Xiurong took out his money bag and handed it to Wu Yuan, asking him to pay.

Wu Yuan caught the purse and stood up, the people waiting outside the curtain said in surprise, "Official Li, will you eat now?"

Wu Yuan glared at him, the man realized that his voice was too loud and his attitude was too obvious, he quickly changed into a smiling face, and said with a laugh: "Usually I have to stay in the building for a long time, why today..."

"Pay the bill." Wu Yuan discharged the money, and the man took the money to find change, still muttering in his heart, why did the little boy who spread money in the past change his nature today?I'm not spending too much money anymore.

After eating, Li Xiurong still didn't let go of Cassie Ming's intentions, and insisted on taking him to see the Bian River. Leaning on the stone railing next to Zhouzhou Bridge, Li Xiurong said, "Now you don't even have a transporter when you go out, otherwise I will take you to choose a horse another day? There is a horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing, and most people buy from there..."

Of course, Li Xiurong knew a lot about these things. Without a car or a horse, it was really inconvenient to rely on human-powered sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages to go out.

Cassia nodded, "Okay, I'll find you when I have time."

Li Xiurong: "...I can pick a horse."

Unexpectedly, Caesar Ming agreed so readily, and Li Xiurong's advocacy to let Cassia Ming go with him stopped abruptly.

Cassia doesn't know how to ride a horse yet, and he needs to learn for a while after buying a horse, so that he can be taught to ride a horse!

Thinking of this, Li Xiurong lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "Then, let's talk about it, you can't ask someone else to take you there, I'll just teach you how to ride a horse."

Li Xiurong wanted one-stop service, and Jue Ming was happy not to bother, so he smiled, "Then I will trouble you."

"Yeah, um." Li Xiurong quickly glanced at Jue Ming's smiling face, fixed his eyes on a group of mandarin ducks swimming in the river, and forcibly changed the subject: "The mandarin ducks are so ugly!"

Jueming followed Li Xiurong's line of sight and glanced at the river: it was a wild duck that hadn't bloomed.
