Chapter 646 Consciousness
At Chang'an Railway Station, the crowds were crowded. Passers-in-the-stop, passers-by, police officers who maintained order and station "security guards" gathered together, which seemed to have filled the square in front of Chang'an Railway Station.
Chang'an Railway Station (South Station), which has been "opened" for a year, seems to be overwhelmed and cannot bear so much passenger flow. However, in fact, this is just a congestion caused by too many people watching the fun.
Yuwen Wen, standing on the edge of the square, asked his sons to observe carefully. The young prince Yuwen Weili and Yuwen Weimin observed for a while and found that only three or four of the ten people were passengers entering and leaving the station, and the others were basically "audiences" watching the fun.
This is normal. Chang'an Railway Station is magnificent, second only to the imperial palace. It is now the famous "Chang'an symbol". Anyone who has been to Chang'an has not come to the railway station to check it out, it is equivalent to not visiting Chang'an.
When Yuwen Wen, who was on a tour in a low dress, was about noon and arrived at the "meal time". He quickly asked his son to go to the "commercial street" next to him to find a restaurant to "order food". Yuwen Weili and Yuwen Weimin exchanged glances and walked straight to a restaurant outside the commercial street.
Yuwen Wen pulled his youngest son Yuwen Weiting forward and saw that the sign on the restaurant gate had three big words "Kill the Chicken" in his eyes.
This is a time-honored "fast food restaurant" originated from Huangzhou. When the store was founded, the name was obtained by Yuwen Wen. Now, seeing this familiar sign (double meaning), Yuwen Wen was quite moved and took his son to the store.
The storefront of this "Jingdao Chicken Fast Food Restaurant" is quite large, with two floors and two floors. The decoration is very special, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and glass doors. The employees are wearing uniforms, the signboard is made of white characters on red, and there is also a "bust" of a big rooster.
It looks like the "original version" of later generations, and this is also the style set by Yuwen Wen for the store.
It not only satisfies his "bad taste", but also makes it convenient for illiterate diners to tell at a glance that this is a "chicken shop".
The young Yuwen Weiting went out for the first time with his father and brother. Seeing the sign "Calling Chicken" is very interesting. He stopped before entering the door and looked up at the bust of the big rooster.
The waiter standing behind the store door saw the guests coming, opened the glass door, bowed and said, "Welcome to come and eat chicken, please queue up here to order food."
Yuwen Wen looked at the front desk and found that the three ordering tables were already lined up. He was wondering how the two little bastards who came in first were so unsightly, but he saw Yuwen Weili waved his arms at him at the stairs in the corner of the side.
Following up to the second floor, Yuwen Weimin waved his arms at him in the corner. It was a four-person seat. Yuwen Wen pulled his son over, but saw that the stage was filled with food.
In each of the paper boxes, there are various delicacies, including "Finger-sucking Original Chicken", "Huangzhou Grilled Wings", "Guangzhou Chicken Castle", "Ezhou Chicken Roll", "Team Lead Chicken Noodles", and "Crispy Chicken Leg Rice".
And popcorn, iced soda, iced sour juice, etc.
These are all classic "signature dishes" that can be eaten by "chewing chickens". Yu Wen Wen could understand at a glance that the two little bastards were indispensable when they went out of the palace to stroll.
However, considering that he was the "initiator" of this "junk food", Yu Wen Wen did not care about his son.
He asked Yuwen Weiting to sit in the window, but saw the little guy motionless, looking at the golden and crispy “finger-sucking original chicken” wrapped in a layer of crispy noodles, as if he was infatuated.
"Shiyilang wants to eat this?" Yuwen Wen asked, and Yuwen Weiting nodded vigorously when he heard this.
"Then you have to sit first, let your brother give you some points." Yuwen Wen asked his son to sit in, sitting outside, while Yuwen Weili and Yuwen Weimin sat opposite each other.
Yuwen Weiting, who has always been strictly controlled by his mother and has been eating according to a "healthy diet", was caught by the fragrant and golden "What kind of chicken" in front of him.
Seeing that his brother Yuwen Weili gave him a few pieces of "original chicken" in a cardboard box, he didn't care about so much and immediately started eating it.
Seeing his son eating like this, Yuwen Wen thought about Chen Ma's expression. Thinking about Chen Ma's teaching his son to have a eating like that, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and pretend that he didn't see it.
Seeing that his father had no objection, Yuwen Weili and Yuwen Weimin opened their appetite and started to eat and drink.
This is a window-by-winter location. Through the window, you can see the bustling crowds on the commercial street outside. Yu Wenwen is not in a hurry to eat. He first looks outside the window and then in the store.
Confirm the surrounding environment just in case. This is not a question of suspicion, but a question of whether you have a sense of safety.
More than a dozen casual guards occupy most of the second floor, and the safety of his father and son is absolutely guaranteed.
Yuwen Wen would not joke about his and his son's safety, so he always paid attention to "security" when traveling in a minion, but it was not appropriate to sit in someone else's store without ordering anything, so Yuwen Weimin also ordered some food for the guards.
Yuwen Wen is very satisfied with his sons' awareness. If he doesn't care about his followers on weekdays, he will have no need to rely on in times of crisis.
At this moment, the guards who pretended to be diners were also having a meal. Yuwen Wen picked up a "Guangzhou Chicken Castle" and chatted with his son while eating.
Yuwen Weili and Yuwen Weimin are about to be 20 years old and will be an official in the autumn. To further experience, the father and son will spend less time together, but the two brothers happen to be in the high incidence of "second-second disease", so Yuwen Wen pays great attention to communicating with his son.
As he was talking, Yuwen Weili mentioned the pros and cons of the Roman mission that had arrived in Beijing recently and the pros and cons of foreign envoys stationed in Beijing.
Yuwen Weili felt that foreign envoys could be permanently resident in Beijing, but they should not have allowed these people to visit everywhere, because the dynasty's steam machinery, gunpowder, explosives, and telegraph technology were all treasures. If the technology was stolen by these envoys, it would be more than worth the loss.
Even if foreign envoys cannot steal steam engine technology, it is always bad for people to remember so many exquisite knowledge in the Central Plains.
When Yuwen Wen heard this, he asked, "Then do you think there are any exquisite skills in the Central Plains that the Roman and Persian countries are concerned about?"
Yuwen Weili replied: "Cultivating silkworms, Roman and Persia have been buying raw silk from the Central Plains? What if they learn to raise silkworms, what should we do?"
"I learned to raise silkworms forty or fifty years." Yuwen Wen smiled. Seeing his two sons' astonished expressions, he said: "I have carefully investigated the envoys of the Roman Kingdom. As early as forty or fifty years ago, the Roman sea merchants brought back silkworm seeds and mulberry seeds from the Central Plains."
"The same is true for Persia, so these two countries can grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms themselves."
Yuwen Weimin asked: "Father, why do they still buy raw silk from the Central Plains?"
Yuwen Wen replied: "In the extreme west, the climate is different from that in the Central Plains, so the raw silk production is relatively small, but the demand is large, so naturally I need to buy raw silk and silk from the Central Plains."
As he spoke, he did not forget to praise his son: "You have a sense of confidentiality, which is good. In the future, you must be more careful in your duties, be cautious in your words and actions, and be cautious in your public affairs, military affairs, and civil affairs. "
Yuwen Weili turned to no avail, thought for a while, and asked again: "Father, where is the tea? The Persian and Roman countries also stole it?"
Yuwen Wen shook his head: "It shouldn't be. It's popular to drink tea there, and it's mainly because of wealthy people, so I probably haven't thought about introducing it yet. Of course, maybe there are similar plants in the country, but it may not be true."
"The silkworm seeds were taken away before, and there was nothing we could do about it, but now and in the future, so the confidentiality system will become more and more strict, and foreigners can no longer wander around at will."
"Oh..." Yuwen Weili nodded and said nothing, but now it was Yuwen Wen's turn to say it.
"You guys, don't always think that the envoys stay in the capital will make the dynasty have no secrets from the inside out. They should have a sense of confidentiality, but they should be more open."
"For the weak, keeping the secret that they are actually very weak can prevent the strong from having a murderous intention. However, for the strong, showing their sharp teeth appropriately will have twice the result with half the effort."
He took a hard bite of the "Guangzhou Chicken Castle" and added: "The Zhou Kingdom today is to let Fanbang know how sharp his teeth and claws are!"
