Zongwu: At the beginning, it is tied with An Shigeng as a dude

Concentrate the essence of chicken, duck and pork ribs into a bowl of boiled water broth. "

It sounds grand and exquisite.

Even though everyone has never eaten it, they understand that boiled cabbage is different from ordinary dishes just by listening to the explanation.

In terms of fineness, I am afraid that it is not inferior to the royal meal, or even better.

After all, these dishes are simple and luxurious.

The last piece of deciphering is fried rice. It is heard that the auxiliary ingredients are ham, scallops, shiitake mushrooms... In addition to more than a dozen high-end ingredients, the egg liquid is even and thin like gold thread. Everyone can imagine how gorgeous this fried rice is.

Even Confucian gourmets who never tire of eating can't help but sigh secretly.

To know these dishes, most of them have never heard of them before,

But now the realistic works depicted on the menu are so beautiful that people can't stop.

Soon, curious gourmets have ordered.

These dishes are all prepared before, and there is a certain limit on the quantity, and the upper limit is quickly reached.

···

suck!Suck...

"It's so fragrant, this noodle is not only strong, but also fragrant, it's absolutely amazing!"

There was a sudden exclamation, and many people looked at an old gourmet who ordered noodles full of praise, and suddenly showed curiosity.

You must know that those old gourmets have a certain reputation, and the people present more or less know each other.

The delicacies that these old gourmets are full of praise are definitely not bad.

"Ah, it's so hot!"

Suddenly there was a bald mouthed exclamation, but it was an old glutton sucking a palm-sized soup dumpling with a fragrant bamboo straw.

Soup dumplings are not a special feature, but they are popular in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan’s soup dumpling in the Red Mansion is made by Zhang Xiaoshan, using pork skin jelly to make the soup filling in advance.

Similarly, this soup dumpling is not cheap, it costs three silver coins for one, and four silver coins for one tael.

If it were not for the disaster, one tael of silver would be enough for a family of four for a month.

"There is a lot of soup, and the skin is as thin as paper, and the light can be seen through."

The nearby guests glanced at it, and they also looked amazed.

The soup dumpling is the size of the bowl in front of you, and it looks full of appetite, especially the juice that is full of juice under the thin rice paper skin is even more amazing.

You must know that the soup dumplings at this time are really filled, or the skin cannot be made so thin.

The charming shopkeeper Feng'er in red stood in the middle of the stairs, looking around with her phoenix eyes. Although some customers thought it was too expensive, no one said that the food was not good.

This is the Red Mansion, expensive is the mainstream.

Moreover, these are the special delicacies of the Red Mansion. Even if the three-course recipe was just mentioned, only those master chefs can reproduce it.

But just like a master of martial arts, with the Hongfu in front, there is absolutely no master who dares to be uncomfortable with the Hongfu.

"Treasurer Feng, student Zhou Qing, and my father, Minister of Rites Zhou Yun."

At this time, a handsome young man who thought he was suave and suave stepped forward, and the moment he opened his mouth, he said that he had a prominent family background, even the people with their ears pricked up on one side were shocked.

The six ministers are the real power, second only to the two prime ministers of the current dynasty.

And the son of the Shangshu family, in later generations, will be the second generation of top officials, who has more confidence than "my father is Li Gang".

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhou, my servant Feng'er was rude.

Xiaocui, lead Mr. Zhou to the box on the third floor, and the consumption tonight will be discounted by [-]%. "

The shopkeeper of Feng'er was first blessed by Liu Yaoyi, who was full of charm, and then asked a maid beside him to take Zhou Qing and others to the upper box, as if he didn't see Zhou Qing's somewhat gloomy and handsome face.

Everyone looked at this scene, and they were a little surprised.

A discerning person knew from Zhou Qing's opening that Zhou Qing wanted to seduce her with his prominent family background.

But I didn't expect that the big shopkeeper of Feng'er didn't care at all.

"interesting!"

In the crowd, An Shigeng, who was dressed up in his spare time, saw Zhou Qing being deflated. Although he had expected it, he was still surprised.

The domineering style of shopkeeper Feng made him a little impressed.

"Look up the details of Shopkeeper Feng, and where did the Zhang family find this heroine."

"Yes, Master!"

An Shigeng came here today to meet Zhang Xiaoshan, so the dishes he ordered were all big dishes.

One tael of silver and one gu of boiled cabbage!

Eight-treasure meatballs for eight taels of silver!

Avalokitesvara of dripping water for one tael of gold!

···

Looking at the gluttonous feast in front of him, curious guests all around looked sideways.

After all, for noble people with such spending power, ordering food here instead of going to the box is obviously not for pure purposes.

In particular, many guests who recognized An Shigeng had the attitude of watching a show.

Zhang's family and An's family are listed as rich merchants in Lin'an Prefecture, and they are both great benevolent people. Not only is the competition in the business field fierce, but there are also many similar conditions.

Both of them are of the same line, and they were both playboys of the civilized Lin'an Mansion before.

Therefore, the Zhang family opened a big restaurant and settled down to find faults. Isn't this just a traditional dragon-tiger drama.

At this moment, there were thirty or forty dishes in front of An Shigeng, and he only tasted one mouthful of each dish, which was comparable to the emperor's imperial banquet.

"As expected of Zhang Family's big sign!!"

An Shigeng got up suddenly, and under the expectation of everyone, he walked towards the shopkeeper Feng, and said with a light smile:

"The Zhang family made a move, it really is extraordinary.

Shopkeeper Feng, three days later, I will bring my old man here for dinner, and I will set up a table according to the table just now. "

"Master An is easy to talk about, easy to talk about!"

Shopkeeper Feng heard that An Shigeng had booked a seat here, and couldn't help but look peachy, even more charming.

And the others were also overwhelmed by An Shigeng's handwriting, and the table cost nearly a hundred gold, even the emperor of Fu Song Dynasty would not dare to eat like this.

But at the same time, this also indirectly shows that the food in the Red Mansion, no matter how expensive it is, cannot stop the extravagance of the rich.

···

"What a good thing, it smells so good."

As night approached, Zhuge Zhengwo pushed Wuqing, a still disabled girl, into the brightly lit Red Mansion.

Looking at the majestic hall of the Red Mansion in front of me, the thousands of lights around it look like daytime under the resplendent reflection, and I don't know how much it costs.

You must know that candles are also a light luxury, and one is nearly a hundred cash.

The entire Red Mansion is brightly lit up and down, and at least tens of thousands of them are consumed overnight, which is nearly a thousand taels of cost.

In particular, the light of this candle is a bit brighter than the candles of traditional crafts. It looks like a high-quality product with higher value, so the cost is also higher.

"This family has paid such a large cost, can it make money?"

Ruthlessly looking around, it's just the decoration, which may cost nearly ten thousand taels of gold, not to mention that this is only the first floor that is closest to the people - the banquet hall.

"Businessmen are profit-oriented. If they don't make money, how can they pay such a big cost."

Zhuge Zheng, I don't believe that the Zhang family will do business at a loss.

Charity is charity, if the Zhang family loses money in business, how can they save such a large family fortune.

Chapter 11 Gathering together the gift of An Shigeng

Snapped!

With a sound of a gavel, the guests who had been eating looked at the stage built on the second floor of the attic.

At this time, a middle-aged storyteller had already set his posture, and as the restaurant gradually became quiet, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Everyone who comes to the Red Mansion for a dinner party is someone who is not short of money.

But all distinguished guests, do you know why the restaurant opened by the Zhang family is called Hongfu instead of Zhangfu Restaurant? "

Following the storyteller's rhetorical question, the customers who had originally consumed suddenly showed curiosity.

Even the guests in the box on the third floor of the attic are average.

If you are not curious, there are probably very few.

"Speaking of the origin of the Red Mansion, it started with Young Master Zhang's study tour.

On that day, Young Master Zhang suddenly climbed an unnamed mountain, the mountain was thousands of feet high, and on the top of the mountain stood a flying stone from the sky, which recorded a "Story of the Stone" throughout.

If we talk about this "Story of the Stone", where does it come from?Because this flying stone is not easy! "

Snapped!

It was Xingmu startling again, and everyone realized at this time that the storyteller was just taking off his pants and farting.

For other reasons, most people are interested.

But this opening is obviously in the style of Romance.

For a while, most of the guests lacked interest.

But Mr. Storyteller didn't have any impatience. Anyway, he used money to do things, and he had twelve taels of mouthwatering money in a month, one at noon and one at night.

As for the charm of the red book of later generations, Zhang Xiaoshan only gave the other party a chapter, and at most it was just a beginning.

···

"It turned out to be Lord Shenhou, but the villain Zhang Yuan has lost his way, and I hope that God will forgive him!"

Box on the fourth floor.

At this time, Zhang Yuan faced Zhuge Zhengwo who came to celebrate his birthday, with a very low posture.

The status of the businessman and the way of doing things determine that Zhang Yuan is not willing to be an enemy of the official.

peace brings money!

As for Zhuge Zheng, I can be regarded as an upstart in the imperial court. Before that, I was the number one master in the imperial palace, guarding the safety of the imperial city, and my sense of presence was extremely low.

But recently appearing as a god, it can be said that he has reached the sky in one step.

"Where, today is Young Master Zhang's birthday, and I dare not trouble Master Zhang to greet him outside."

Zhuge Zheng, I know that the Zhang family is not an upstart, they have a deep foundation, and I also have great admiration for the Zhang family's usual style of doing things.Not to mention the relief of porridge, the construction of private schools, even the treatment of its employees is people-oriented, and the treatment and benefits are generous.

At least in the absence of evidence, Zhuge Zheng and I don't want to quarrel with the Zhang family.

On the contrary, the dragon blood vine sent by Zhang Xiaoshan last time, he accepted a big favor.

"What a handsome young man!"

Zhuge Zhengyi looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was following closely behind Zhang Yuan, and his eyes lit up.

Although he couldn't see Zhang Xiaoshan's realm, just Zhang Xiaoshan's elegant and handsome appearance, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and fearless eyes made Zhuge Zhengwo feel that he was not a sinister person.

It may be unfathomable, but who can support the Zhang family's wealth, who is a simple person.

Even Zhang Yuan and Zhuge Zheng, who are amiable and good-natured in front of me, I don't believe that the other party is really a 'great kind person'.

In the final analysis, it is like the packaging of later generations.

No matter what's inside, the outside must be gorgeous before someone buys it.

"What? Mr. Zhuge didn't use it for the ruthless girl?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the quiet and elegant girl on one side. Although she was dressed in coarse linen, she was extremely 'clean', like a fairy walking out of a painting, beautiful and refined.
