Chapter 49 Jingzhou City

Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran just lived in the Mu Mansion.
The two of them lived in a room, put down their bags, and after a short rest, a servant came over to inform them to have lunch.
As one of the largest stores in Jingzhou City, Mufu is mainly based on restaurant business, so it will naturally not be bad in terms of diet.
There is a saying that goes, three steamed and nine buttons are big bowls, and it’s not like steamed and not invited.
This first dish is the most famous "Tianmen Sanshi" in Jingchu. Its Chinese cabbage is fragrant and soft, the pork is fat but not greasy, and the fish is tender and tender. After just one bite, the two of them had a great appetite.
"Not to mention, when I was in Xiangchu, I often heard about this dish." Li Xiaoran stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth. After swallowing it, he continued to say: "It is said that everyone loves this dish in Jingchu and everyone can cook it, so no one agrees with each restaurant. I heard that there was a place in Jingchu that held a cooking competition in the past. The question was this Tianmen Sansteak. The person who won the top spot was blocked at his doorstep for a long time!"
"Why is this?" Lin Chen asked vaguely. Compared with Li Xiaoran, he did not have so many rules. While speaking, he delivered vegetables to his mouth.
"Why else? You're not convinced!" Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that everyone can do this Tianmen Sanshi. That person won the top spot. Isn't it just that this person's skills are superior to the heroes? The locals there are still people who are present to watch. After all, there are so many people who are unwilling to accept it, but when those outsiders go there, they dare to call themselves "the first one"? That's because you haven't met me yet! Then, anyone who thinks they have great cooking skills will go to that person's home to ask for a competition, which scares the person so much that he hides at home for two months and dares not go out!"
When Lin Chen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, it seems that sometimes it's not a good thing to win the first place."
Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "Actually, it's not necessarily true. That chef is not really smart enough. He can actually say this: Do you want to challenge me? Why do you challenge me? I am the number one in the world, and there is a second place behind me. Which one are you? If you want to challenge me, you can go to the second place first. The two third places will be defeated before coming to see me. Hehe, will it save trouble if you say this?"
Not long after the two of them finished their meal, they saw a servant coming over and said respectfully: "Two young masters, the head of the family is welcome!"
"I don't know what the boss of the Mu family is asking us for?" Lin Chen asked the attendant.
The attendant shook his head and smiled, "Young Master Lin was joking. What is the thought of the head of the family? What can we guess?"
Lin Chen turned to look at Li Xiaoran and said, "Brother Li, since the Mu family leader is looking for us, then let's go there?"
Li Xiaoran nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"
The two followed the servant to the hall where they met this morning, and saw Mu Yunchang sitting in the main seat, and there was a young man about twenty years old sitting next to him.
As soon as Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran walked in, they looked at each other with eight eyes.
"Master Mu Family!"
Although I don’t know who the young man was, after Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran asked Mu Yunchang, they also bowed to the young man, and the other party smiled and returned a greeting.
Mu Yunchang smiled and waved his hand and said, "The two young heroes don't have to be too polite, please sit down!"
Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran nodded and sat down in the side.
"I wonder if there is something wrong with the leader of the Mu family looking for us?" Lin Chen asked after sitting down.
Mu Yunchang smiled and said, "Actually it's not a big deal. The little girl told me that the two young heroes were first coming to Jingzhou City, so I wanted the dog son to take the two young heroes to appreciate the customs and customs of Jingzhou City. First, the dog son and the two young heroes are the same age, and I think there will be more common topics. Second, the two young heroes are running all the way, going out for a walk and relaxing, which is also a good thing."
When Lin Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then follow what the Lord Mu family said!"
They first came to Jingzhou City and were unfamiliar with the place. If someone took them around, it would be the best.
Mu Yunchang laughed and said, "Okay, this is the dog son Mu Jiawang. You young people chat slowly, so I won't bother you."
After waiting for Mu Yunchang to walk away, the young man who was originally sitting quietly on the chair seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He lay slightly back and said to himself: "Huh... I'm so tired!"
He took a sip of tea, then looked at Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran, and asked, "Hello, my name is Mu Jiawang, what are your names?"
Lin Chen looked at Mu Jiawang's appearance and felt interesting, because when he was a child, he acted like a "good baby" in front of Li Changtian, but later he "had his wings become hard". Perhaps Li Changtian felt that he had grown up and was not good at teaching a lesson, so he was less restrained.
Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran looked at each other, and it was obvious that the other party had this kind of thought in their hearts, but Li Xiaoran did not have so much control at this moment, otherwise it would be impossible for him to run from Xiangchu to Jingchu alone for fun.
"Lin Chen."
"Li Xiaoran,"
The two of them said their names.
"It turned out to be Brother Lin and Brother Li!" Mu Jiawang smiled, stopped sitting, and simply stood up and said with a smile: "My father said just now, let me take you to have a good time, so what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The three of them are all of their peers, and Mu Jiawang's personality is the kind of cheerful person, so they soon became familiar with each other.
The three of them walked out of the gate of Mu Mansion, and Mu Jiawang asked Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran: "Two brothers, if you ask the place of Jingchu, where will you think of the first thing you will think of?"
Lin Chen replied without thinking: "Of course it's Jiangcheng."
Li Xiaoran smiled and said, "The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks were in Yangzhou in March. The lonely sail was gone in the blue sky, but the Yangtze River flowed in the sky... The old man had already left on the yellow crane, and there was no Yellow Crane Tower here. The yellow crane never returned, and the white clouds were in the sky for thousands of years. The clear rivers revealed the trees in Hanyang, and the grass was lush in the Parrot Island. Where is the village gate at dusk? The smoke and waves on the river make people sad. The two songs "Yellow Crane Tower" by Li Taibai and Cui Hao really made Jiangcheng famous. Later, the Tibetan Sword Villa rose up and became famous in the world with a "Sword Raising Art" and "Secret Sword Forming", and became the number one sword sect in Jingchu. Tsk, it is really glorious!"
Mu Jiawang smiled and said, "It's true. If we talk about Jingchu, most of the people will think of the "heart of Jingchu" in Jiangcheng. However, although our Jingzhou does not have the Yellow Crane Tower and the Zangjian Villa like Jiangcheng, as the "hinterland of Jingchu", our transportation is open, and both water and land are connected, so it attracts many merchants to gather here. There are countless shops and restaurants. The most important thing is that we do not have to stop nights at night. After the night market begins, thousands of families are brightly lit. After the night market begins, talented men and women make appointments to come out, talk about songs in the brothels, and the piano and flute are on the brothels. The real beauty has just begun..."
As he said that, he gave Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran a smile that "you know what it means".
"Can't you stop being up to the night?"
This surprised Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran a little.
Because the forbidden night is to facilitate the management of the people in the city. No matter which city it is, people will be prohibited from walking on the street after a certain period of time. This is to prevent any turmoil after the night is late. The only difference is that the time for the forbidden night is different between cities.
"This is natural!" Mu Jiawang smiled and said, "This is something Jiangcheng cannot compare to!"
The three of them walked while talking, and soon after, they walked out of Jingui Street.
Jingui Street is located a little further away from the center of Jingzhou City, so when everyone walked out of this wealthy neighborhood, a bustling commercial street caught my eye!
Mu Jiawang smiled and said, "I have asked my two brothers for their blessings. My father allowed me to go home later tonight, but it is still noon, so some places have not started yet. I will take you to stroll around the business district of Jingzhou City. After nightfall, we will go to the city center to play..."
Mu Jiawang said, then he took Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran from the fork at the intersection and walked into a more spacious street.
There are shops and merchants on the streets, and the roads are full of traffic, but because of the spacious roads, people do not seem so crowded when people come and go. Compared with the neighborhood in the center of Wangyue City, it is really many times more prosperous. You know, this place is only a shopping street in Jingzhou City. It is not too long to the city center of Jingzhou City, but it is not short!
"If you brothers like something, just buy it. My father said that he will reimburse all expenses!" Mu Jiawang pointed to the rows of shops and said, looking rich and generous.
"I want to go and have something to eat first, but it's a little too full at noon." Li Xiaoran looked at a noodle shop not far away.
At noon, although the servants of the Mu Mansion prepared an extremely sumptuous lunch for them,... Li Xiaoran was talking throughout the whole process, and almost 70% of the meals were eaten by Lin Chen. Sometimes, Li Xiaoran really couldn't figure it out. Brother Lin didn't look fat, so why could he eat so much?
"Brother Li is hungry?" Mu Jiawang saw Li Xiaoran's gaze looking at the noodle shop not far away, so he asked.
"You can't say you're hungry, I didn't eat much at noon." Li Xiaoran smiled. At the same time, he said, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, which made Lin Chen smile embarrassedly, coughed dryly, and said, "Since Brother Li is hungry, let's go and eat something first."
Mu Jiawang nodded and said, "Okay, but don't go to the noodle shop. My family is a wine and vegetable business. There is a business nearby. I'll take you to try it!"
Before Li Xiaoran could speak, Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? Please lead the way, Brother Mu!"
"Then let's go!"
Mu Jiawang turned around and walked towards another intersection. After taking the two of them on the street for a short distance, he stopped in front of a tall restaurant.
"This restaurant is one of my family's industries. I order whatever I want to eat!" Mu Jiawang pointed to the restaurant in front of them and said, then raised his foot and walked in.
In the restaurant, a servant called Mu Jiawang respectfully after seeing him walking in, and then he respectfully called "Big Young Master". The shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter and was planning abacus. When he heard the servant say hello, he paused and looked up and saw Mu Jiawang who was walking in from the restaurant gate. So he quickly stopped his work, walked out from behind the counter, and asked: "Big Young Master".
Mu Jiawang nodded. The shopkeeper was an old man who had worked in the Mu Mansion for more than 40 years. When someone came to say hello, he naturally had to give him enough respect. So he smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, long time no see, how are you lately?"
Yan Xinghuai smiled and said, "What else can I do? During the Chinese New Year some time ago, everyone stayed at home. The barns on the street were not open. The mountains and rivers outside the city were too far away. I couldn't go to this old bone. After a few days, I was almost bored. You know that I couldn't have time for a moment. Now that the restaurant has been opened, I will naturally be able to do it well!"
Mu Jiawang said: "Brother Yan, you are also the manager of this restaurant. Don't be too tired. If you should take a break, take a proper rest. Otherwise, if you do everything yourself, what else do you have to do?"
Yan Xinghuai said: "Some things need to be reviewed in person, otherwise I will feel uneasy. By the way, the eldest young master is here to check the accounts? I have checked the accounts for January. The prices of vegetables and meat are rising a little, but if they are calculated based on the prices in January, there is no problem."
As he said that, he turned around and ordered a servant beside him: "Go and take the account book on the table!"
Mu Jiawang waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, Uncle Yan, you have been doing things in our house for decades. Of course, I can trust this. Since Uncle Yan said it is okay, it is no problem. And I am not here to check the accounts today. My two brothers are hungry, and we happened to be wandering around again, so we came here."
Mu Jiawang was just talking, and Yan Huaixing saw two young people walking in at the door.
"Here!" Mu Jiawang waved to Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran, and then said to Yan Xinghuai: "Uncle Yan, my two brothers are from other places. You have to treat them well and ask the kitchen to use all their skills. Don't throw away the signs of our Mu Jia Restaurant!"
Yan Xinghuai smiled and said, "Don't worry, my eldest son, I dare not say anything else, but in this kitchen, every chef comes into our restaurant to do things, Lao Huang and I personally check it out, and we will never throw away the sign!"
Mu Jiawang nodded and said, "That's it."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran, and took them to the restaurant.
Yan Xinghuai looked at the backs of the three of them leaving and secretly recorded the appearance of Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran in his heart.
Others may not know, but Yan Xinghuai, who has worked in the Mu family for more than 40 years, knows that Mu Yunchang is particularly fond of his daughter. He does almost whatever Mu Yuejiao says, but he is very strict with his son. After all, the Mu family is only solo, and doing this is to prevent him from becoming a prodigal son. Therefore, those who can be brothers and brothers with Mu Yunchang must have been recognized by Mu Yunchang.
Mu Yunchang became the deputy city lord of Jingzhou City only twenty-six years old, and then made a series of reforms. The current prosperity of Jingzhou City...40% of this is due to Mu Yunchang's contribution! If it were not subject to the jurisdiction of Zangjian Villa, the city lord could only be the person from Zangjian Villa, otherwise how could he be just the deputy city lord? From this we can see how high Mu Yunchang's vision is? How could someone who can be recognized by Mu Yunchang be simple?
