Chapter 131 Discord 3 (Counting yesterday's(1/2)
The lights are bright, and the cups and plates are intertwined.
With the exquisite patterns and inscriptions, the white or the blue bowls are presented, including sweet and sour honey meat, oyster baked sticks, baked beef soy sauce, marina soup bowl, braised yellow croaker, fried shrimp eggs, clam melon soup, stuffed crab cups, stir-fried fish cakes, bean snail meat, and beef stewed beef tongue.
The dishes at these banquets are mainly salty and sour flavors. The ingredients of the dishes themselves are quite attentive and refreshing and neat, and the dishes are also quite exquisite and elegant after cooking. They strive to reflect a relatively clear-level taste feeling in the limited seasoning methods of this era.
In the face of these delicacies that made most people's index fingers buzz, Zhou Huaian did not politely eat and listened to the host Song Zhiyan, who was the host, to introduce the identities and professions of more than a dozen guests present, names and titles.
In the following time, what surprised Zhou Huaian was that the person who performed the most active and distinctively in this banquet that deliberately pleased and supported him alone was the guest minister of the former scholar, Xiaopang Shui Wanghan;
He is like a lively treasure and ordinary person who is specially used to liven up the atmosphere. He constantly creates various topics that are interesting or throws out allusions that are meaningful and interesting. While facilitating everyone to praise each other, it also makes the whole scene lively without being distracted.
Of course, among the guests who are known as the background of the 14 major banks in the city, they are not completely in vain, but are really seeking something.
Fengling Port, which is now under Zhou Huaian, is undoubtedly the largest entrance and exit port and port in Chaozhou, and is also an important transportation place for salt, pottery and sugar along the coast. Therefore, in the past, the government offices also had special tax and purchases.
Therefore, some people wanted to ask for a document and permission to go to sea for their ship owners who ran between the rivers and seas. Zhou Huaian also half-truely agreed to them. He also said that he still had more than a dozen idle ships of large and small ships in his hands, which could be converted to them. Suddenly, it aroused a lot of compliments.
"I heard that Master Xu is anxious about the public and his righteousness, and he likes to ask for his orders for the people the most."
After the food and the wine, the leader of the party, Song Zhiyan, spoke again.
"As local people, we cannot be left behind."
"I hope to do my best and ask the officials to accept it with great silence..."
"It's easy to talk about, I'd like to hear it carefully."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but think in his heart, is this a real drama coming?
......
And in the large kitchen in the back garden of the mall, there was already a crowd of people.
"Hurry it...sent here quickly"
"Don't stop the fire on the stove, keep putting it in the pot..."
Amid the shouts of shouting and urging, the servants who were busy delivering vegetables were like a carriage with a roundabout way, and there was almost no stop between the empty plate and the new dish.
On the upper floor of the small building where the kitchen is located, someone is looking at the brightly lit banquet in the distance.
"Have you seen it? Is that monk Xu?"
As the actual planner tonight, and also the old man who has truly dominated the underground order of Chaoyang County for decades, he asked his confidants around him.
"What do you say about Lao Song and Mr. Shui?"
"This figure alone is not comparable to an ordinary thief."
A confidant who showed his face on excuse at the banquet said respectfully
"On the words and deeds, the name of erudition and versatility is not groundless... It is a great pleasure to talk to each other."
"How can people with such a good appearance (modern people are well-nutrition and higher education) go to follow the thief..."
Another confidant couldn't help but sigh
"Is the court really inadequate..."
"Be careful, this is something we can argue with."
Another person who looks more mature reminded him.
"Do you want to cause trouble for Dongweng?"
"It's okay..."
The old man did not care about it.
"The court is not very angry, we can't see or touch it anymore."
"But the current situation is not the opportunity for us to take advantage of the times?"
"Maybe the corresponding opportunity will fall on these thieves..."
"You don't know that most of the people in the ridge who claim to be in charge of one side have been granted and approved by the court,"
When they heard this, their eyes lit up, and their hearts became hot.
"But, this guy is really a Taotie alive..."
A close confidant smiled dryly and pulled the conversation back.
"What did you say?"
The old man frowned slightly.
"The eight-color dried and fresh fruit snacks served first, and sixteen hot and cold dishes."
"There are two large pots of soup, all of which have been wiped out by him..."
"The kitchen is already cooking... I'm afraid I will stop serving the food."
"What a good guy, can it be that the evil of ancient times came and Lian Po's mouth was so rude?"
"Since that's the case, are the things you're ready after looking back?"
The old man suddenly turned around and asked.
"I've been waiting for the secret old ginseng turtle wine. You will see results within half an hour."
"There is also the deer blood cream that Lao Antang has installed... mainly to prevent people from drinking."
"They have been tried by someone, and the most appropriate product. There is no odor in the entrance but the feeling is mellow,"
"In addition, the two most popular pink heads and four new young men in Wuyuefang have been called over to stand by in the side room..."
Another confidant.
"My widowed aunt is also brought here to prepare to toast..."
"By the way, there are also handsome servants... I'll find a few from my garden just in case..."
The old man thought about it and added it.
"If you want to do it, do it carefully..."
"Dad..."
A greeting made the old man turn around and ask in a little displeasure.
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Dad..."
The young man was a little panicked and forced to calm down, calling him to the side and said.
"I'm afraid there will be news of a disaster..."
"What's the trouble that makes you so restless?"
The old man couldn't help but glared at him.
"If you want to talk about big and small disasters, will my family still have fewer problems in their lifetime?"
"Yes, my father taught me the right lesson."
The young man wiped the sweat stains on his forehead.
"But it was the news that came from the thieves in the inner city..."
"The thief monk outside is probably targeting their family business..."
"Oh, so what..."
The old man still said calmly.
"I'm afraid that those people in the government in the past also act like this..."
"Everyone shouted to stop the powerful, but what can we do in the end...."
"This may be a little different..."
The young man continued to add in a hurry.
"Because the source of this news is from Deputy Ding Zhen, who is the thief, who speaks to the left and right in person."
"He warned other subordinates on the spot to try to separate the relationship from those people placed on the table by our family..."
"Can this guy suddenly come over tonight, probably because he was trying to hide his will and delay the army?"
The old man couldn't help but show a serious and hesitant look on his face.
"This family business is your great master and grandpa, from the hands of those rustic man and private dealers."
"It's earned with one skill with one skill..."
"How can these thieves still want to invade and take it away in our hands?"
Speaking of this, the old man's face slowly said.
"So your elder brother has already taken the lead and went to Fengshanman..."
"Your uncle is also on the way to Qiaotouling at this time..."
To be continued...
