The hundreds of households who drove the car also knew that Zhang Huangyan and Lord Zhang didn't like to listen to him, but his identity dared to say anything. He just cursed the stinky old man and his false Taoist scholars in his heart.

The carriage walks along the street to the south city, and the closer it gets to the south city, the more people come. Guangzhou Nancheng is close to the Pearl River, forming a rectangular commercial area along the Pearl River. From the north city to the south city, it has to pass through three city gates. These were built by the Song Dynasty, namely Guide Gate, Danan Gate, and Civilization Gate.

Danan Gate is an official road, leading directly to Guangzhou Wharf outside the south gate, and Danan Gate is full of yamen, Guangdong Governor's Yamen, the governor's Yamen, etc. are all here. Zhu Hongsan is afraid of meeting an acquaintance, so he ordered hundreds of households to go to the civilized gate.

When they arrived outside the Civilization Gate, there were crowds of people and pedestrians everywhere. The carriage was no longer suitable. Zhu Hongsan asked the hundred households to find a place to save the carriage and took Zhang Huangyan and Zhu Hongyi to walk through the Civilization Gate.

Guangzhou City is now divided into new city and old city. The old city was built during the Hongwu period. However, with the increase of population, it was built on the Pearl River coast outside the old city during the Jiajing period. After a hundred years of development, the new city became more prosperous than the old city. However, after Zhu Hongsan occupied Guangzhou during the great development period, the war in the north seriously affected the export of raw silk, tea, porcelain and other materials, and the safe Guangzhou became the commercial center of the entire China. In addition, after Zhu Hongsan abolished other tyrants and miscellaneous taxes, he only collected commercial taxes. Guangzhou's business began to develop as much as a blowout. Now, the Nancheng New District can contribute five or six million taels of silver to Zhu Hongsan every year.

Zhang Huangyan walked on the street and saw the shops around him. As Zhu Hongsan's secretary, he naturally knew that the tax this year had reached 18 million taels of silver, which was more than twice the taxes during the Chongzhen period. This was still a provincial tax. Zhang Huangyan really couldn't imagine what scale would the taxes could reach if His Majesty the Emperor occupied Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

Zhu Hongsan didn't know Zhang Huangyan's feelings. He just walked and looked at the scenery on the street. With the completion of Xiguan New District, the original workshops in Nancheng were moved to Xiguan. Nancheng has now become a pure commercial city. Various shops are densely covered with the inner and outer streets of Civilized Gate, the white sugar and salt in Leizhou, the rice in Annan, the agricultural tools and knives produced in Dongguan, various imported products from Nanyang, Luzon's fruits and furs, silk and porcelain produced in Zhaoqing, and other things can all be found here in Nancheng.

There are all kinds of people on the street, including local merchants wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, and northern merchants with braids. Zhu Hongsan issued an order when he ascended the throne last year that he could enter and exit Guangzhou normally regardless of whether he was shaved or not. This order prevented merchants from entering Guangzhou to change their clothes. In addition to these, there were Japanese people with strange head shaved. These guys were all ronin from Japan, who worked as some guards in Guangdong and were good bodyguards. There were also blonde and blue-eyed Europeans. After the Battle of Luzon last year, Wang Jinbao sent all the more than 5,000 Spanish prisoners he captured to Guangzhou. Most of these undead Spanish were nobles and missionaries. Zhu Hongsan left them to develop into his own industrial and commercial system.

Zhang Huangyan had seen the blond and blue-eyed Folang Jiren before, but I had never seen so many of them. I didn’t expect that I would be considered an eye-opener here in Guangzhou.

Zhu Hongsan took a few people around for a long time and was a little hungry. He saw that it was noon and it was time to have lunch.

At this time, there was a smell of barbecue from somewhere. Zhu Hongsan turned his head and looked at it. It turned out that there was a barbecue restaurant not far ahead.

Barbecue is not in line with the taste of Chinese people. The main reason is that there were not many spices in China in the past, so the smell of the meat cannot be covered up. However, when Zhu Hongsan came to Guangzhou, he invented a new style of barbecue. He said that it was a new style of barbecue, which was actually a barbecue in the street stalls of later generations. Zhu Hongsan missed the street stalls in his previous life. Several friends drank beer and ate tags at night, and bragged happily together. In the past, when he was in Wuchang, spices were too expensive, so Zhu Hongsan could not afford it. However, when he arrived in an international metropolis like Guangzhou, Zhu Hongsan developed the street stall culture of later generations.

The Ming Dynasty used spices to be made of braised, and there was no such thing as sprinkling on barbecue directly. So this way of eating was immediately spread in Guangzhou City after its invention. However, in this era, this kind of barbecue was also a high-end way to eat. After all, meat and spices are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Zhu Hongsan saw the barbecue and said to Zhang Huangyan: "Mysteriously, let's have a good thing today, you must have never eaten it!"

Zhang Huangyan's family is also a wealthy family. He has never eaten anything, but he didn't say anything to follow Zhu Hongsan into this barbecue restaurant.

This barbecue restaurant has been improved. It is not the food stalls that Zhu Hongsan made. This restaurant is divided into independent single rooms. Zhu Hongsan sighed. This environment is nothing but a street stall.

The guy at the door saw a guest coming, so he quickly stepped forward to greet him and asked, "Please come in, please come in!"

The guy took Zhu Hongsan into a single-room elegant seat and asked, "What are the guests and officials?"

Zhu Hongsan looked at the house and there were no small stools like street stalls. They were all high-backed chairs, and there was a carbon stove on the middle table, probably a place for barbecue.

"What are your family?"

"Uncle, our house has a secret barbecue in the palace, which is a sauce circulated in the palace. Long live his life and he also likes it! There are also various grilled seafood, grilled fish, etc."

Damn, I don’t know if it was the guy in the palace, Zhu Hongsan cursed secretly and said, “Your secret barbecue comes in two servings, other seafood, chicken wings, beef tripe, beef, lamb, and lamb chops are all served!”

The guy heard Zhu Hongsan say this quickly and said, "Uncle, we don't have beef here! It's illegal to sell beef!"

Zhu Hongsan slapped his head and forgot that he was outside. He could eat beef in the palace, but it was different outside. Killing cattle in the Ming Dynasty was illegal.

However, Zhu Hongsan knew that people always had beef, but they all came from secretly.

Zhu Hongsan winked at the hundred households. The hundred households knew that, and quickly took out a ingot of silver and handed it to the clerk, and whispered. The clerk saw that there was silver, and quickly nodded in agreement with a smile.

When Zhang Huangyan saw the guy laughing in a slutty way, he knew that there must be beef sold in this shop. After seeing the guy go out, he said to Zhu Hongsan: "Your Majesty, cows are the foundation of agriculture. This kind of slaughtering plowing ox is really a violation of the law!"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't say that, look, since someone sells cattle and eats meat, it means that selling meat is more suitable than using it for plowing fields, so let's not worry about it and just enjoy it!"

While talking, all kinds of meat came up like flowing water. The guy said, "Dear men, this meat is venison, please enjoy it with peace of mind!"

Zhu Hongsan asked, "Is there any wine?"

"Uncle, we have rice wine, rice wine, Sichuan white wine, and champagne from Florence!" As the Spanish came to Guangzhou, they also introduced French red wine champagne.

Zhu Hongsan was very surprised when he heard that there was champagne wine. He didn't expect that the place was full of wine.

"Okay, come a bucket of champagne! Is there any ice?"

"Uncle, there's really nothing!"

Yes, Guangzhou is not the north, it does not freeze in winter, so there is iced champagne.

After the meat came up, the guy went into the house and started baking it. Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but sigh when he saw it was the store's baking. This kind of fun without any hands-on tasted tasteless.

However, Zhang Huangyan is very novel. This is the first time he has seen this way of eating Fanbian, let alone eaten it.

Seeing the guy roasting there, Zhu Hongsan said, "Everyone sit down!"

Zhang Huangyan was nothing, so he sat directly beside Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Hongyi also sat down. The Jinyiwei Baihu did not dare to sit at the same table with the emperor and helped the guy barbecue.

Zhang Huangyan picked up a roasted beef that was said to be venison, dipped it in a small bowl and put it into his mouth.

The seasonings at this barbecue restaurant are very authentic, with cumin (that is, silensis), dried chili peppers, sesame paste, etc. Various flavors form a wonderful taste in the mouth.

As a Zhejiang native, Zhang Huangyan focuses on light meals. Now he feels really strange when eating this kind of barbecue.

"Brother, this is the first time I'll eat it!"

"How is it? It's delicious!"

Zhang Huangyan nodded and said, "It feels very wonderful. I didn't expect that Western foreign countries also have this wonderful way to eat it!"

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said in his heart that this is not a Western way of eating, it was my invention. The meat marinated in this barbecue restaurant is very authentic and has a taste of 70 to 80% barbecue in later generations.

Zhu Hongsan poured Zhang Huangyan a glass of champagne and said, "You are trying this kind of wine!"

The bubbles of champagne entered the mouth, coupled with the strange fragrance of barbecue, made Zhang Huangyan nodded repeatedly.

"Okay! This sparkling wine and the aroma of barbecue are just right!"

Zhu Hongsan laughed secretly, you haven't drunk the cold beer from later generations, that's the perfect match for bragging with skewers.

Zhu Hongyi next to him didn't feel any difference. It was just meat for him, but no secret system was secret. Zhu Hongyi shook off the whirlwind chopsticks and noodles and ate it wildly, and half of the barbecue was in his big mouth.

When Zhang Huangyan saw Zhu Hongyi eating so much, he couldn't help but shook his head, saying in his heart that he was really a chewing peonies! Zhang Huangyan made up his mind that he would definitely take his family to taste it if he had the chance in the future.

Zhu Hongsan made him 70% full with food and drink. Zhang Huangyan adhered to the ethics of not speaking and not talking. He didn't say a word when eating. Zhu Hongyi's rice bucket was full of thoughts and had no time to speak. The meal was very boring.

Zhu Hongsan asked the guy at the barbecue, "Man, what entertainment do you have?"

The guy didn't know what entertainment meant, so he asked, "What is entertainment for uncle?"

"Just sing a small song!"

The guy nodded repeatedly and said, "I have this, if you need it, I'll let them in!"

"Go! Find a beautiful one!"

The guy kept saying yes and went out to find a singer to come in.
Chapter completed!
