Chapter 49 Dupe Fish 2

Fish bags began in the Tang Dynasty and were bags for officials to hold fish talismans. The colors of fish bags worn by different grades are different.

Generally, only officials above the fifth grade are eligible to wear silverfish bags, officials above the third grade are goldfish bags, and the princes are jade fish bags.

During the Wu Zetian period, the fish bag was changed to a turtle bag, so there was the widely circulated poem "Golden Turtle Son-in-law", which refers to a third-rank or above high-ranking official wearing a turtle bag.

But in history, only Wu Zetian was called the turtle bag once, and the rest were called the fish bag.

At this time, the fish bags were no longer filled with fish talismans, but they became completely a symbol of identity, and no longer under the official uniform system. In other words, even if you are promoted to the fifth and third ranks, you may not necessarily have silver fish bags and goldfish bags, which will be rewarded by the official family.

This is a grand honor, which should be written in official titles in official documents.

Du Shouyi had just been promoted to the fifth grade, but he did not have a silverfish bag; and his official title was from the third grade, and he was at the fifth grade more than ten years ago, but he was only rewarded with a silverfish bag in the past two years.

Therefore, the two of them were naturally envious of Du Ruo, who had obtained a silverfish bag before he became an official.

In addition to envying his son, Du Shouyi was more surprised. Wearing a silverfish bag means being qualified to wear crimson official uniforms. Once Du Ruo becomes an official in the future, he will be the fifth rank!

Although it was just a dismissal of officials without power, it was unique since the founding of the Song Dynasty. What’s more important is that the silverfish bag not only represents commendation and honor, but also represents the special care of the officials.

——Du Ruo is now Jian Zai Dixin’s person.

Even Su Laoquan, who had been in the officialdom, understood what Jian means in the heart of the emperor. If he was remembered by the official family, it would be difficult to not become successful in the future.

"Congratulations!"

The attitude towards Du Ruo instantly changed. He just praised Du Ruo's talent and was still posing as an elder. At this time, he was completely dissatisfied and looked a little pleased in front of Du Ruo.

"The spring breeze welcomes guests and rolls the curtains, and the angels come to send their joy. In the old days, Li Tang's golden turtle son-in-law is not as good as Du Peiyu in the present day."

Later, I wrote a special poem to praise Du Ruo. Du Ruo didn't feel that there was no benefit to it. Du Shouyi and Su Laoquan laughed loudly, and were so happy.

However, although this poem is not well written, it has been widely circulated later. The "Du Peiyu" in the poem has become the nickname of Du Ruo. The people in Meizhou all called Du Ruo Du Peiyu and were proud of it. At this point, Du Ruo completely took off his name as a playboy.

Du Ruo didn't care how good a fish bag could be, but he understood that the emperor's imperial gift should not be worn every day. If it was broken, it might be in trouble.

He hid the silverfish bag at home, and only the purse sent by Su Xiaomei or a simple jade pendant hung on his waist when he went out.

But no matter where they go, people shouted "Du Peiyu", which made Du Ruo enjoy it very much. It was disrespectful to call him by his name in ancient times, but Du Ruo is not yet weak and has no font size. It is better to call him Du Peiyu than to call him Du Ruo directly.

Over the past few months, Yipinlou has been in full swing.

Du Ruo finally bought the restaurant for 75,000 guan. The next day he bought it, it started to demolish it, which attracted the people of Meizhou to point fingers and say that Zhu Dan is really a spendthrift. What is the best restaurant to demolish it?

Of course, Zhu Dan would not explain to anyone, but just worked hard, arranged craftsmen to record the bricks, stones and woods one by one, and found the craftsmen to study according to the sketches drawn by Du Ruo...

It is naturally extremely complicated and troublesome. Zhu Dan knew for the first time that it was so difficult to do things, but fortunately, he had the help of his father-in-law and the girl Caiyun who followed his father in the custody since childhood, so Zhu Dan was in order to do these things.

With Du Ruo's money in mind, the entire reconstruction project of Yipin Building has progressed rapidly.

During this period, Uncle and Aunt Zhu Dan also asked him for some questions. The uncle cared about him, while the aunt was illegitimate and wanted to find out why he was suddenly so rich. But Zhu Dan no longer sent him under their roof. He just dealt with his uncle and was even more rude to his aunt. The two male and female didn't ask anything from Zhu Dan.

But they could also guess that Zhu Dan must be helping others. After all, Zhu Dan seems to have completely broken off relations with Shunfeng Escort Agency, and her aunt doesn't care about what Zhu Dan does outside. As long as she doesn't come to occupy the escort agency and spends her family's money, she is too lazy to ask.

Not long after the examination was over, a new restaurant skeleton with five stories high and extremely wide area had been re-established on the site of the original Yipin Building.

Although this giant has not been built yet, its scale is far greater than any building in Meizhou, and it is the tallest building in Meizhou except for the battlements around the city walls.

For this reason, Du Ruo spent nearly 100,000 stagnant of money and used almost all the skilled craftsmen in Meizhou. It was also a blessing that Meizhou was adjacent to the Minjiang River and had strong transportation capabilities for large goods and large areas of primeval forests were available. Otherwise, the money he had for the wealthy businessman in Meizhou was probably not enough.

"In the era without reinforced concrete, it's so expensive to build a five-story building!"

On this day, Du Ruo and Zhu Dan stood outside the main body of the new building, looking up at the height of the building that could be seen almost everywhere in the later generations, and felt a lot of emotion.

He estimated that when the restaurant was finally opened, it would be great if he could have the hundreds of thousands of guan left by the wealthy businessmen.

"Old Du, what's the name of our new restaurant in the future? Will it still be called Yipinlou?"

Zhu Dan asked Du Ruo.

"I have to give a name, I haven't thought about it yet..."

Du Ruoruo nodded thoughtfully, but he was not thinking about the name in his mind. The name of the restaurant doesn't matter to him, the key is the extremely connotation of the dishes.

It was also time for him to prepare for the opening of the restaurant.

"The large intestine, the first batch of castrated pigs, can it be slaughtered soon?" Du Ruo asked suddenly.

"How could it be that fast?" Zhu Dan scratched his head and said, "But the castrated pigs do grow fast, and they can also be used after the restaurant is opened."

During this period, Zhu Dan ran all the farmers around Meizhou who raised pigs to promote the concept of castration. The farmers naturally did not believe him at first, but they were rich and easy to do. Zhu Dan took out piles of money and told them that the pigs were bought in advance according to the weight of the slaughtered. Is it my castration dead? The farmers had any reasons to object, and they all let him come.

Of course, farm veterinarians are not very good at castrating pigs, but with sufficient funds for him to practice trial and error, this technique is not difficult to master.

Nearly two months have passed, and farmers have discovered the benefits of inciting pigs. The originally irritable black pig has become extremely docile and sleeps every day after eating. Occasionally, some people die of illness, and the meat has no smell of fishy smell.

Now that the restaurant is about to open, even if there is no Zhu Dan pre-order, farmers will take the initiative to ask someone to "cast" the piglets. This technical atmosphere is constantly spreading outside.

"That's good."

Du Ruo patted Zhu Dan on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and then took Du Qing and Shangguan Jinsuo away.

Afterwards, Du Ruo went to Qunfang Building and met Xue Wan'er.

Xue Wan'er has been depressed recently, but when she saw Du Ruolai, she immediately looked radiant and her eyebrows were full of affection.

"Miss Wan'er, why don't you play the song I gave you? But I don't like it?"

Du Ruo and Xue Wan'er sat face to face and asked politely, referring to the song "Who moved my strings" he gave to Xue Wan'er some time ago.

"Young Master, this song is really beautiful, just the lyrics..."

"What's wrong with the lyrics?"

Du Ruo was a little curious. Although the lyrics were all vernacular, they were quite ancient and implicit, and were not out of line.

"Nothing, I just feel heartbroken..."

Xue Wan'er suddenly became dim. Before Du Ruo could speak, she suddenly said coldly: "After leaving that night, the young master hasn't been here for nearly two months. What are you here to do today?"

Du Ruo was a little confused and thought to himself that you are not my wife, why should I run to you every day? How can the seller blame the buyer for not coming? Isn’t this moral kidnapping?

Although he complained in his heart, he couldn't say that. After all, Du Ruo asked Xue Wan'er for something to do.

"Isn't it too busy these past two months? My father is going to Chengdu Prefecture, and the whole family has to clean up. Now he has just left Meizhou and I'm just free." Du Ruo said with a smile.

A few days ago, Du Shouyi went to Meizhou to take office. After all, the Du family has lived in Meizhou for nearly ten years. The family is big and the business is big and cannot be managed for a while. Du Shouyi then went into battle lightly and only took Zheng's care.

Du Ruo's mother, Liu, and almost all the maids and servants of the Du family remained in Meizhou and did not intend to move to Chengdu Prefecture.

The Song Dynasty strictly guarded the local separatist regime, so the prefect and the transferee did not last long and would definitely be transferred in three to five years at most.

The Du family thought that Du Shouyi would be transferred to Bianjing next, and his family would be officially moved to Bianjing at that time. The mansion was still in Meizhou, and Chengdu Prefecture was not far from Meizhou.

"Yes, I misunderstood the young master." Xue Wan'er's ears turned red and she said, "Why did the young master come today?"

"Of course there is something wrong. I remember that I said before, I want to find you a good place..." Du Ruo looked at Xue Wan'er tentatively.

Xue Wan'er was overjoyed and said shyly: "I remember, how dare I forget it? I thought the young master had forgotten it."

"I won't forget it!"

Du Ruo patted his thighs and saw Xue Wan'er showing joy on his face, he became much more confident. It seemed that Xue Wan'er was also tired of the fireworks and willow alleys.

"Miss Wan'er is already a free person. The new magistrate of Meizhou is my father's subordinate. I want to take you away. No one can stop us."

Du Ruo first analyzed the objective situation for Xue Wan'er, but Xue Wan'er's ears became redder and she didn't speak, but just flashed with beautiful eyes and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

In this way, it seems that he is going to elope with Du Ruo.

"Okay, it's not convenient to explain in detail here."

Du Ruo looked at the maids of Xue Wan'er around him, thinking that they were all from brothels, and he could not help but cause trouble for Xue Wan'er, so he didn't say much.

Instead, he said: "I will buy a villa for Miss Wan'er in the city as a thank you gift that Miss Wan'er promised. In two days, I will send someone to tell you the location. You can just pack up the details and let us explain in detail when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wan'er lowered her head in shame, but she nodded and said "Oh" well.

"When you see you, if you have any difficulties, remember to send someone to tell me and I will help you solve it!"

Du Ruo stood up and bowed and left.

"Although Miss Wan'er is a leader, she also has the temperament of a little woman. She is so embarrassed that she is such a small thing."
