Chapter 87: Knowing the Taste, Knowing the King
Temple fair is a rare national entertainment in the year.
Coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are more activities in the temple fair, including watching the moon, setting off lanterns and guessing lantern riddles, and there are many snacks and gadgets on the streets, which is very lively.
Even the girls who were raised in boudoir finally got the chance to go out and participate in this rare spectacle.
Maybe you can even make eye contact with a husband from another family, and it will become a good story.
Of course, all the major restaurants would not miss this lively scene, not to mention that there was also a delicacies competition. Before the time came, many people went to Andong Street to grab a seat.
Tianchengwei is no exception.
But there was some trouble in the process of occupying the place.
Fu An looked at the two arrogant guys in front of him and felt extremely angry. Both of them were wearing light gray cloth, obviously dressed like Zuixianlou clerks.
He was alone and weak, so he couldn't fight head-on. He could only stay on the ground and not move. With so many people around watching, they didn't dare to use force.
More and more people came around, and the two waiters were also anxious. One of the younger men threatened: "I'm telling you Fu An, if you don't leave, I will smash your stall!"
Fu An was not frightened. He lay on the ground and shouted: "You smash it, you smash it! Li Qiusheng, if you smash my stall, none of us will want to do business! I will go to your stall in Zuixianlou at the temple fair in the evening."
Cry in mourning!”
Li Qiusheng originally wanted to scare him, but after hearing what he said, he didn't dare anymore and could only look at him hatefully.
"What's going on?" Just when the two parties could no longer hold on, a clear female voice sounded from the crowd.
When Fu An heard this, he got up and ran over with a crying face: "Miss, Mr. Yin, you are here!"
Fu Shu was seen wearing a blue and white dress with a white veil, and Yin Liang was wearing a black shorts. Behind them were Putao and Aunt Wang, each carrying two large bamboo baskets in their hands.
"What happened?" The person asking this time was Yin Liang.
Before Fu An could speak this time, another guy in gray clothes spoke first: "Miss Fu and shopkeeper Yin just happened to be here, so we won't talk nonsense with the servants. We have already reserved this place in Zuixian Tower.
, please move things quickly, don’t delay our business!”
"You fart!" Fu An was so angry that he jumped on his feet: "Obviously I was the one who came here first, Li Fu, why are you so shameless!"
The guy named Li Fu smiled sarcastically: "Huh, vulgar! This is Tianchengwei's upbringing. I, Zuixianlou, really saw it today."
Fu Shu patted Fu An on the shoulder and chuckled: "My natural upbringing has always been to talk to people when I see them. When I see people who are not human, I naturally want to say what I want to say."
"What do you mean!" The young Li Qiusheng was immediately angry, but Li Fu was the first to say: "Miss Fu, do you mean to become an enemy of me, Zuixian Tower? We are going to the immortal to save Fu Yuchu's face, you yourself
You have to be more knowledgeable."
Obviously, without Fu Tiancheng in charge, Tianchengwei has no qualifications to be compared with Zuixian Tower.
Fu Shu snorted coldly: "Let's not talk about how qualified you are, a guy from Zuixianlou, to say this in front of me. Let me ask you, you said you booked this seat, who did you book it with? How did you book it?
Why didn’t anyone tell me that I can reserve a seat at Tianchengwei?”
Li Qiusheng looked flustered, but Li Fu quickly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Well, just tell the people who are qualified to make reservations."
"Oh? Then when the county magistrate comes, I will ask him who gave him the reservation qualification. Before asking clearly, you two should go back." Fu Shu raised his hand: "Or,
You can find someone qualified to talk to me."
After she said this, both Li Fu and Li Qiusheng looked very ugly, and the pointing fingers from the people around them made them even more irritated.
"Please move the things, don't delay our business!" At this time, Fu An added fuel to the fire, and said while placing the food, his tone was sarcastic, and he returned what they had just said.
Li Qiusheng was furious and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Li Fu: "Miss Fu, remember what you said today, and don't regret it in the future!"
Seeing that Fu Shu had no response and was still instructing his followers to relocate, Li Fu showed cold eyes and pulled Li Qiusheng and left in a hurry with his things.
At this time, the owner of the Cui family wine shop, who had a good relationship with the Fu family, ran over and looked at Fu Shu with worry on his face: "Fu family niece, this, this has offended Zuixianlou, what should you do? Lao Fu is here
There is still room for competition, so offending them now is not a wise move!"
Zuixianlou is a time-honored brand that has been operating in Lixian County for decades. Before Fu Tiancheng lived in seclusion in Shu, it could be said to be the only one.
The shopkeeper, Li Bingren, is quite capable. He took over Zuixian Restaurant at the age of twenty and turned it into the most prestigious restaurant in Li County within two years.
The chef is Li Bingren's sworn brother. He has superb cooking skills and is good at making local dishes.
The two sworn brothers have been working together for more than 20 years. In addition, the Li family is originally a squire in Li County and has strong capital. If Fu Tiancheng had not been an imperial chef, he would not have been able to get a share of the pie in their hands.
If the Li family just runs the restaurant peacefully, that's it.
They are acting arrogantly, as you can tell by looking at their waiters. Not only are they not allowing other local restaurants to survive, they are not even allowed to have similar names for other restaurants.
The Cui Family Tavern suffered greatly from this. The original name of the Tavern was "Ziu Wengxuan", which was given by the troubadour Shu Liufang. It has been in Li County for more than 30 years and has become a time-honored tavern.
Unexpectedly, Li Bingren took over the Li Family Restaurant and renamed the original "Shu Weiju" as "Zui Xian Restaurant".
This time the word was emphasized. All the restaurants and pubs with the words "zui" and "xian" in Li County were renamed. If they didn't change their names, people would be looking for trouble all day long to disturb the dirty business. That's why Cui's restaurant changed its name to such a common name.
There were complaints from major restaurants, but the Li family was related to the previous county magistrate, so no one dared to resist. Even after the county magistrate was beheaded and his house ransacked, the Li family never restrained themselves.
The house leaked and it rained all night, and now the Tianchengwei family head, the only one who could compete with him, was killed, which only fueled their arrogance. Several young men dared to talk to Shu like that.
Fu Shu looked at Boss Cui's expression and knew what he was worried about, so he comforted him: "Uncle Cui, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Cui Yingjie was not comforted by her. He sighed and said, "Oh, you are still young. I don't know how powerful the Li family is. Now that Lao Fu is gone, I'm afraid they will cause trouble for you."
"The matter has come to an end. Uncle Cui, please feel free to prepare for the temple fair. We will discuss the rest later." Fu Shu said nonchalantly.
Seeing her calm look, Cui Yingjie felt helpless but couldn't say anything else: "Oh...that's the only way it can be."
After Cui Yingjie left, Yin Liang looked at her: "You don't seem worried."
"What are you worried about?" Fu Shu smiled softly: "Did you think that the imperial court sent a champion here just to let him mess around?"
