Chapter 51 The Tavern Makes a Big Plan (1)
Chapter 51: The tavern sets a big plan (I)
Behind is the screen of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and on the right is a small window with a string. Outside the window, you can see the tall pagoda.
An exquisite small table is placed in the middle, next to the table are two exquisitely crafted wooden chairs.
"Come on, Brother Zhang, since you are here in Yangzhou City, you have to taste the famous food in Yangzhou." He Zhaoyi said, pulling Zhang Yang to sit on the chair.
Zhang Yang seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden and looked left and right. This elegant cottage is probably equivalent to a luxurious private room? Although it is not big, it is full of a different mood. It looks very exquisitely furnished. It should be a place for tasteful celebrities to visit!
"Waiter, come with an eight-treasure gourd, roasted pig's head, colorful butterflies flying, Yangzhou Wuting Bridge, pipa prawns, chrysanthemum conch, disassembled silver carp head, and stewed lion's head." He Zhaoyi ordered eight dishes in one breath, and each dish was unheard of by Zhang Yang.
"No need to have so many. We have two dishes, which is enough to eat." Zhang Yang said.
"You're welcome, I'll be the boss today." He Zhaoyi said. "Waiter, let's go to the daughter Hong, who has been in the 20th year of the pot."
"Okay, guest, wait a moment and you will be there soon." The waiter said and went downstairs.
"Brother Zhang, you and I hit it off today. I admire your martial arts very much." He Zhaoyi said.
"Oh, that's normal." Zhang Yang said casually. Does this little girl really want to drink? Or is her daughter Hong, who has been for twenty years? She isn't afraid that I will get her drunk and do whatever she wants?
"Customer, your food is here!" A waiter, with a towel on his shoulder and holding a dish, started serving the dishes.
Plates of dishes were placed on the table, and the small table was filled with it.
"Our Yangzhou cuisine has a clear and mellow soup, rich but not greasy, light and tender. Please try it, Brother Zhang." He Zhaoyi said.
"Yes, OK." Zhang Yang agreed, but his eyes looked at the wine pot that Xiao Er had finally raised.
"Customer, the daughter you want is Hong, this is the best wine in our store." The waiter said, opened the lid of the wine pot and poured a glass into each of them.
The small cup is not big, just about three cents of cups. Zhang Yang estimated that he could drink three or five cups himself, but why is the color of this wine orange? Although it is transparent and clear, I don’t know how high the degree is?
Zhang Yang smelled it and felt a tempting fragrance.
"Good, good wine!" Zhang Yang said.
"Brother Zhang, thanks to your help twice today, I will give you a drink first!" After He Zhaoyi finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass, raised his head, and drank it all in one go.
Wow, this is really a hero among women, he is simply a role model for public relations ladies! Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
Unexpectedly, before the thought arose, I heard the other party cough twice.
It's hot? It's the first time I've been drinking! Zhang Yang thought to himself.
"Brother Zhang, it's your turn." He Zhaoyi raised her head, her face turned red, and she said to Zhang Yang.
"Oh, OK." Zhang Yang picked up the wine glass, imitated her, and drank it all in one go.
It is sweet and refreshing, mellow and sweet, not spicy, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, fresh, and astringent. It is much better than the white wine blended with alcohol in later generations.
"Good! Good wine!" This time I was praised from the bottom of my heart.
"Brother Zhang, eat food!" He Zhaoyi said, picking up a shrimp and putting it into Zhang Yang's bowl.
Zhang Yang looked at He Zhaoyi's red face and suddenly thought, "I don't know which lady she is from? Try it first."
"Brother He, since you and I have come to see you, I don't know what the Lord calls you?" Zhang Yang asked.
"This...not to mention it, my father is just an ordinary little citizen, it's better not to mention it." He Zhaoyi said.
If you don’t want to tell the truth? Then you have to say the truth after drinking! Zhang Yang made up his mind secretly.
"Come on, Brother He, we have the chance to drink happily here, so we will naturally stop drunk! Come on, do it!" Zhang Yang said, pouring her full of wine, but he only poured half a cup of it himself.
"Damn!" He Zhaoyi said, pouring the wine into his mouth.
After drinking three glasses of wine, Zhang Yang felt a little dizzy. This daughter Hong was really energetic. Looking at He Zhaoyi, her face was even red. She couldn't control her hands holding the chopsticks.
"I don't know where Brother He's home lives? I'll send you home later." Zhang Yang began to talk to her.
"It's okay, I can just walk by myself. Not far away, I'll arrive after two intersections." He Zhaoyi said.
There is a chance! After two intersections, of course, they are still on this street. They must be the big salt merchant, otherwise they can't afford to live on this road at all. All the big salt merchants live here.
"I think it's the first time Brother He is doing this salt deal?" Zhang Yang continued to tentatively.
"Huh?" He Zhaoyi raised her head and looked at the man who was blurry in front of her: "How did you know?"
I could tell at a glance that people just shouted that they had no difference, but you just called five liang. If they were really engaged in salt traders, they would not have raised the price so randomly, otherwise they would not have been robbed by those salt merchants who could not get salt.
"I guessed, I can still guess that you are a woman." Zhang Yang suddenly threw such a big bomb.
Sure enough, a hint of panic flashed in the other party's eyes, and the drunkenness just now disappeared.
"How did you know?" This time, I no longer deliberately lowered my voice. This silver bell-like sound, I knew it was a girl without looking at my appearance.
"I also know that you are trying your best to get this salt intake, and you are just angry with your family!" Zhang Yang continued, but this sentence was guessed that she came to sell salt in a girl's house, and her family was a big salt merchant. Of course, she just wanted to prove her ability, and the family didn't give her a chance, so she had to go out and work alone.
"You, who are you? Why do you know everything?" He Zhaoyi asked in a panic. She seemed to have begun to regret drinking with this elder brother Zhang. He was a devil who could see through his own psychology!
Zhang Yang ignored her and continued to say to himself: "Since you want to prove your ability, then prove it to them. You are stronger than their ability and earn more than them!"
"How to make money?" He Zhaoyi was very interested in this sentence. Her father and brother didn't let him take over. It was obvious that he looked down on himself. If he could make money, he would have a very strong position in his family as a Shang family, so that he would not be laughed at by those brothers all day long.
"You can't make too much money by raising the price of salt intake like this. Apart from all kinds of expenses, it's just enough money." Zhang Yang said.
"I know too, but I want to get the salt gust!" He Zhaoyi had recovered her daughter's true nature and was a little embarrassed when speaking.
