Chapter 4: The first meeting with Sapphire

Two days later, early in the morning.

There are endless guests in Zhu'an's Ping'an teahouse, and many servants are carrying food boxes in and out.

The teahouses in the Ming Dynasty were different from restaurants. The teahouses were similar to those in later generations. The food was very simple, mainly some pastries or fried buns and steamed buns, etc.

To put it bluntly, teahouses are full of simple and simple rice, mainly targeting the middle or bottom layer.

However, after Zhu An came to Ping'an Teahouse in Nanjing, he put forward many insights on the production of some meals and his future eyes.

The meals made are even more delicious, and there are some new ways to make them, such as the Hu spicy soup that Zhu Yuanzhang came to drink before.

This also gave Ping'an Teahouse a certain reputation in Nanjing City, and many dignitaries booked breakfast here.

"The boss, it's not good. All the gifts we sent to the Yingtianfu Inspection Department were returned."

While Zhu An was enjoying breakfast in the third floor private room, a sudden scream rang out, and the door of the private room was pushed open. It was the shopkeeper of Ping'an Teahouse and the shopkeeper Liu.

"What a panic? The sky hasn't collapsed yet. Tell me carefully, what's going on." Zhu An put down the soup dumplings that were about to enter his mouth and said in a deep voice.

Manager Liu took a breath and told the story.

It is inevitable that some contacts are welcome in Nanjing. The inspection department of Yingtianfu is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

In previous years, even if the business was not good, there would be a bank expenditure to handle the inspection department, and now the same is true.

However, the gifts I gave yesterday were returned by the inspection department today.

This attitude is not very good.

"Does the teahouse business look so prosperous that I think the money is too low?" Zhu An asked.

"The boss, I'm afraid that's not the case. I asked at that time, but there was no way to pay attention to it." Manager Liu replied quickly.

"Have you checked?" Zhu An asked calmly.

"Check it out." Manager Liu's face was a little hesitant and said hesitantly: "It is said that it is Piaoxiang Teahouse near us, and there is some relatives with the inspection department. I'm afraid they will do anything bad."

When Zhu An heard this, his brows frowned slightly.

He knew that about ten days ago, someone came there to buy the breakfast method.

Zhu An naturally refused and refused directly.

At that time, he left a harsh word and said he would take a look at it in the future.

Now it seems that Piaoxiang Teahouse has nowhere to run away.

While thinking, a scolding came from downstairs. Zhu An leaned his head out of the window and saw more than ten police officers coming downstairs, holding a seal in his hand, obviously trying to seal the teahouse.

At this moment, the police are expelling guests.

"Good guy, let me take action first and then report." Zhu An raised his eyebrows and walked downstairs, with Manager Liu following closely behind.

"Official, what do you mean? How can we get the official to come here if we are Ping An Teahouse?"

Manager Liu hurriedly went up to laugh, and took out the silver from his pocket and handed it over.

Bang!

The policeman led the charge knocked out Manager Liu's hand with a slap, and the silver fell to the ground.

"Someone ate your breakfast and ate it badly. Now you are ordered to seal your teahouse. Do you want to bribe me? The crime is a little more than the first."

"Brothers, tie me up and take it back. This kind of behavior must be a guilty person."

The policeman said with a sneer.

Suddenly, three or four police officers stepped forward and were about to take Manager Liu away.

The guests were basically expelled, and the other policemen were holding seals and wanted to seal off the Ping'an Teahouse.

"Stop." Zhu An shouted loudly and walked up to him.

The policeman looked at Zhu An with a hint of surprise in his eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Although Zhu An was a civilian, he did not study compulsory education for nine years in his previous life in vain, so he naturally had a scholarly temperament.

Of course, whoever comes from later generations basically has the temperament of a scholar.

The difference between illiterate and scholars is too obvious.

So this made the police officers a little inaccurately arrested.

"He is the owner of my Ping'an Teahouse, official, I..." Manager Liu explained on the side, but was interrupted by the police.

"Haha, it turns out that he is just a low-key businessman. Why do you want to resist arrest? I think he is the main culprit, so I will take him away."

The head-in-chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This man looked like a scholar. If he was really a scholar, this matter might not be easy to do today.

This is Yingtian Prefecture, where the capital is located, and Zhu Yuanzhang is suppressed, and no one dares to be arrogant and domineering.

But it depends on who to do. Zhu Yuanzhang has always hated merchants, which is why the police dared to take action.

Even if it was a farmer, the police would not dare to do this.

"If you want to add a crime, you have no choice. Let me ask you, who has suffered from a stomachache and who has sued me for the teahouse." Zhu An asked coldly with his hands on his back.

Seeing that Zhu An was so tough, the onlookers immediately heard a shout-out, and everyone was not afraid of the police.

As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing has the highest power in the country. Even if a passerby doesn't say that the family is just a relative, no one is afraid of this little policeman.

"I will eat it for as long as this teahouse has been open, and I have never seen it hurt."

"That's right, the place where the chefs make can be seen when they go in. Everyone looks at the breakfast, which is very safe, so why can they get rid of their bodies?"

"This person has a broken body, so why is it because of breakfast? I think it's because of ulterior motives."

For a moment, the onlookers immediately spoke good things about the teahouse.

This was also done properly by Zhu An. He opened a separate window in his kitchen, and all the production processes can be seen when he enters the teahouse.

This is a way to imitate later generations, so that everyone can eat with confidence.

It is precisely because of this that the breakfast is indeed much more delicious and refined than other places, which is why Ping An Teahouse's business is booming now.

The headmaster said intimidatingly that if this incident aroused public outrage, it would be impossible to get away.

He regretted why he came to rush to this muddy water? But now the scene is now on the string and he has to fire it.

After gritting his teeth, the head-in-chief became brave and shouted, "I think you are resisting arrest, brothers take it down for me."

After saying that, the head-in-chief explained to the surroundings, "Friends, this matter is handled by the yamen, so don't be guided by villains, which will ruin your reputation."

When the headmaster said this, the sounds around him suddenly subsided, and four or five constables came over quickly and reached out to arrest Zhu An.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhu An's eyes, but it was immediately suppressed.

Killing people in this capital is probably the only way to escape.

But waiting for death is definitely not Zhu An’s style. If you are unfair, what if you abandon this teahouse?

This world is so great that with his force, where can we go?

At this time, several policemen had already caught him. Zhu An waved his right hand and in the blink of an eye, he hit him out several palms. The few people flew backwards and fell to the ground and wailed.

This is because Zhu An took the initiative and caused a lawsuit for death.

"Good guy, resist arrest, killer of the attack, I think you will not be allowed to stay today."

A trace of surprise flashed in the headmaster's eyes. He didn't expect that this man would dare to resist arrest. In this way, even if he was killed on the spot, it would be in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention that he is still a businessman.

Suddenly, the policemen pulled out their swords and surrounded them.

At this time, the streets were crowded with people. Nowadays, watching the fun is the favorite show of the Ming people, especially this kind of thing, you are similar to a martial arts master against a yamen constable.

For a moment, the entire street was congested.

At the end of the street, a luxurious carriage was forced to stop.

"What happened ahead?" Lan Yu asked curiously. Nowadays, it is not just ordinary people who like to watch the fun.

The manager immediately stepped forward to inquire, and then returned to the foreign exchange report: "General, it seems that the police officer was trying to seal a teahouse, but he was resisted."

"So brave, this can happen under the emperor's feet."
