Chapter 67 Too Faced (Tuesday
Although even the civilians wore silk in the Ming Dynasty, they had to whip them, but from the Zhengde period to the present, the food and clothing of the people were afraid of not being able to surpass them. The pursuit of luxury was getting stronger and stronger. Although the red carpet in front of them violated the system, the Jinyiwei standing there to maintain order was all the problems.
By the way, there were two brothers from the Ma family among the Jinyiwei inspected. The next day they heard that Zhongxin Hall was bought by Jiang Feng, and they returned to Huifeng Tower to apologize. As a result, the two of them had an additional 500 taels of silver for their IOUs. Now they owe Jiang Feng a total of 1,300 taels. They don’t want to pay it back in their next life, so they can only work here obediently.
As soon as Mr. Li stepped onto the red carpet, he heard a gong sound on the side. He was shocked. Then he heard a young man beside him shouting in an extremely loud voice:
"The owner of Nancheng carriage and horses are here~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The idle people around the edge of the carpet let out a coaxing voice and leaned over the carpet. Today, those who are qualified to walk on this are all wealthy families in Nancheng. They usually come from deep courtyards, but this time they can see clearly.
Hearing the young man's call and looking at the eyes of the idle people on both sides, although Mr. Li was standing in the cold wind, he seemed to have drunk Shanxi's burning knife, a warm current entered his heart, his face was full of redness, his back was straight, his waist was no longer sore, and his legs and feet were also strong. He took a breath... Oh, he walked towards the front with a big step.
"This is Mr. Li who is in charge of carriages..."
"It's Mr. Li."
"Looking at this old and strong style, no wonder I have earned such a big family business."
"That's right, that's right, otherwise how could Huifenglou post a post? It's the third day!"
The old man became happier the more he heard it. Especially when he saw the two Jinyiwei who maintained order on the roadside nodding politely, he felt even more comfortable. He thought that if it weren't for Huifeng Tower, he would have seen this smiling face in his official uniform.
After strode to the door, Wang Qinian quickly walked a few steps to meet him, reached out to support him, and said repeatedly:
"Old man, it's cold, don't get cold."
"It's okay, it's okay, we're all warm!!!"
A big sign stood in front of the door. When Mr. Li, who was in a carriage and horse, walked into Huifeng Tower, another loud-sounding guy immediately shouted out his name, and then pasted the red paper with the carriage and horse luggage officer on the sign. Originally, Jiang Feng meant that the guests who came were all writing their names on the big wooden sign with brushes. However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Xiucai immediately told him that among the dozens of guests he invited, there were only ten people who knew the words, it was not certain whether they could write them.
I simply came up with such an idea. As long as the guests were coming, they would get off the horse and park at the street entrance. The guests walked along the red carpet to the door, and they did not prohibit the idle people from watching. Instead, they made a promise to give two cents to each person after the end, sang the name loudly, and looked at the red carpet with eager eyes. These all made the self-esteem of business people with low social status greatly satisfied.
When I came to the store, I was naturally in a happy mood, and this is half the success!
As soon as I entered the gate of Huifeng Tower, the partition was made into a foyer. Two smart servants went over to wipe the dust on their guests and then opened the curtain of the foyer and entered the main hall.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I felt the warm air coming, accompanied by a faint fragrance of grass and trees. Manager Wang had already welcomed him. Because it was the first day of the business, Jiang Feng set the rule to only entertain guests who had posted the post, so everyone could greet him with diligence.
When I looked up, I was stunned. In the middle of the hall, more than a dozen large wooden barrels were placed in the hall with various colors of flowers and trees. Although they were all green leaves, this green is extremely rare in winter in the north, adding a lot of fresh air to the house out of thin air.
The customer who knew the goods was amazed. This was a cave product in the suburbs (greenhouses) and a restaurant that actually used this to embellish it was such a big deal, but I was proud of it. It was such a store worthy of our rich people.
There are a few coffee tables scattered between the wooden barrels and trees downstairs. You can tell at a glance that they are not for eating and drinking, but they are like gardens in the house, with a bit leisurely and elegant inside.
Li Zongyun and other wealthy merchants who have seen the world all secretly praised themselves. Although they have no power, they are rich in money and have seen a lot of worlds. They have not had a good taste in their meals, but they have to eat a grade and a mood. This style is exactly what they need.
After letting the guests visit, Manager Wang and Xiucai Zhao came over with a smile on their faces and welcomed the guests from the table to the second floor. They basically followed the order of the dishes they tried on the day, but the fur merchant Yang Rui privately gave Huifeng Tower a 100 tael of silver and the red carpet outside.
That's why I was replaced by the tables of the big merchants who tried the dishes on the first day. On the first and second floors, I saw that the second floor was divided into individual rooms. The single room was written with "Three Rivers", "Five Lakes", "Tong", "Da" and "Four Seas". Li Zongyun had also studied in a private school before, and then turned around and asked the shopkeeper Wang who followed him and said:
"Shopkeeper, what's the point?"
"Mr. Li, you see, these are the names of several houses. Isn't it like 'Five lakes and all the seas reaching the three rivers'?"
The merchants who followed him looked at each other and laughed loudly. Yang Rui said with admiration:
"Your boss is such a good method, a good method. You have a banquet here. Not only are you happy to eat and drink, but you also have such a brilliant saying, so you are so smart!"
The shopkeeper Wang took advantage of the excitement and hurriedly brought the guests into the house. Among these rooms, the most high-end ones in Sanjiang Pavilion, and naturally the houses where big merchants such as Li Zongyun were present.
In history, there is no order of dishes at the restaurant table. It is determined by the restaurant itself. It is the most test of the restaurant's skill and the ability of the chef.
After everyone sat down, they looked at the table. There was a large round table made of good wood. There was a small circle of wooden plates on the round table. I didn't know what it was for. Everyone was thinking about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, but they were embarrassed to ask.
At this time, according to the usual rules, naturally, incense tea was served, but the door curtain of the Yaseu opened, and a guy holding a wooden plate came in. There were more than a dozen steaming blocks on the wooden plate. Everyone was stunned and thought to themselves what the rules were. The guy smiled and said:
"Dear everyone, it's cold and dusty. Please wipe your face first."
Everyone suddenly realized that everyone put the hot towel in their hands and walked across the red carpet outside. Although it was warm, it must be blown by the cold wind. It was covered with some dust. Although it was warm after coming in, the hair was still tight and dry on their faces. This towel came at the right time.
Li Zongyun, who was sitting at the top, rubbed his face with a towel, drank a few more breaths of moisture, then picked up the fragrant tea I had just served and tasted it. He felt his whole body relaxed. Looking at the people around him with a comfortable expression, he sighed and said with emotion:
"It seems that the restaurants and restaurants in Nancheng are about to close."
