Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong soon understood what Zhu Su meant by asking them to pick up the guests. As the auction ended, the originally sparse restaurant instantly became overcrowded.
Zhu Su was particular about the time he chose for the auction. It happened to be right after breakfast and about to have lunch. By the time the twenty lots were auctioned one by one, lunch time had long passed. There were only a few people in the auction venue. Free tea is provided but no food is provided. The merchants and nobles who came out of the garden are naturally hungry. How can they have time to respond to the situation first?
At this time, everyone discovered that there was a restaurant next to the garden. Hey, the customers came in droves.
Shen Sen, who was in charge of the restaurant, had been prepared for it. He was the successor that the Shen family had deliberately cultivated. The businessman was naturally very good at welcoming and delivering food. Now he was attracting hungry guests one after another.
The restaurant is built with high ceilings. There is a lobby on the first floor but a seating area on the second floor. From the seating area, you can overlook all kinds of people in the lobby on the first floor, giving you a sense of seeing all living beings. Shen Sen guided the distinguished guests to the seating area on the second floor, where businessmen and The servants of the Xungui family sat in the hall on the first floor, and then walked around the tables on the first floor like butterflies through flowers to introduce the dishes.
Naturally, the noble disciples on the second floor could not be received by him as a merchant, so Li Jinglong and Xu Yungong came in handy. A group of dandy boys were about to shout and urge the food to be served when they caught a glimpse of Li Jinglong, the big boss among their dandies. After coming out of the private room, the sound of greetings suddenly filled the air, which was actually a bit more lively than the group of businessmen exchanging information with each other.
Xu Yungong was not good at such scenes. When he saw Tang Ding, the young prince of Xinguo Gongfu, whom he was familiar with, he approached him. After some pleasantries, he asked: "Brother Tang is smiling, but what good things happened to him?"
"But there is a good thing. In the auction just now, Brother Yu spent 5,000 taels and successfully bought an extremely exquisite glazed Buddha statue!" Tang Ding was very excited. The scene of the Buddha's light shining in the auction just now still remained in his mind. " My father has followed His Majesty in all directions, and even though he has gained a great reputation, it is inevitable that he will be stained with the evil spirit of blood. Although the price of this Buddha is high, if it can pray for my father's blessings and eliminate misfortunes, I, as a son, will be considered as having fulfilled my filial piety."
As he spoke, he showed off to Xu Yungong: "Brother Xu didn't see it. When the Buddha statue was illuminated by the sun, the seven-color Buddha light it emitted was simply mind-blowing! Just one look at Brother Yu and he felt that his heart was contaminated with Buddha nature."
"It is said that His Highness King Wu invited eminent monks to consecrate these Buddhas for seventy-seven forty-nine days. The Buddhist karma contained in them is indeed extraordinary! Mr. Xu spent his life in the army, so I should get one for Mr. Xu and bring it back. That’s it!”
"Yes, yes..." Xu Yungong answered awkwardly. His Highness Foguang had already said that it was just formed by the refraction of sunlight. It was no different from the rainbow-picking performance that day. As far as he knew, the eminent monk In the past few days, Your Highness has only come into contact with the unscrupulous monks at Bifeng Temple. Those monks' legs trembled when they saw Your Highness. How could they possibly be some eminent monks? They even captured one who is currently being sent by His Highness to raise horses in a stable. How could there be any? What kind of consecration ceremony could some eminent monk perform for these people?
Moreover, it seems that His Highness once said that the cost of burning these glasses was less than five taels of silver...
Your Highness, King Wu, has such a dark heart...
Thinking of this, Xu Yungong shuddered. Looking at Tang Ding, who was showing off to everyone with an excited face, and the other nobles who were deeply envious of him, he suddenly felt a sense of superiority that everyone was drunk and I was alone.
: A group of idiots were deceived by His Highness and confused about how they could feel the Buddha's nature through the light of the Buddha, and they didn't even know about the dispersion of light.
Your Highness is right, ignorance is indeed the greatest original sin...
In Mr. Xu's mind, he already regarded these people as inferior idiots. By the way, Zhu Su's status also rose to a higher level. He was more determined to thoroughly study the "Primary School Mathematics" and then truly start to study the study of objects.
Thoughts on learning. Although those weird and twisted numbers and symbols look weird, I have gradually become familiar with them. With time, I will definitely be able to make perfect with practice and completely master those so-called formulas and equations...
"Huh? It smells so good. What kind of food is it?"
"Here comes the chicken soup!"
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a fat chef wearing a weird white dress with a big smile, and the boys brought up cups of chicken soup on trays. There were also boys holding spoons, bowls and chopsticks, one by one.
Distribute it to the distinguished young men.
The fat chef smiled and said: "You nobles are willing to patronize us. Our store is really prosperous. This chicken soup was specially ordered by our Highness. It has been boiled since the rooster crows, specifically to warm the stomachs of all the nobles. Others
The food will be served soon.”
"His Royal Highness was impeached a few days ago. It is inconvenient to appear on such an occasion. But I still want to tell you that you must eat and drink well!"
"On the first day of opening, His Highness specifically ordered that you will not be charged any money for the first order. Your nobles, just patronize our business in the future!!"
What the dandies wanted was face, and Zhu Su gave him face like this. The noble dandies immediately shouted that Your Highness is righteous, and their voices almost knocked the restaurant down. Although there was no complimentary chicken soup or free order in the hall downstairs,
There were also discounts and side dishes given away, and the servants and merchants also sang praises loudly.
"Wow, this soup is so fresh and sweet!" The gluttonous dandy had a taste first, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he was full of praise. After hearing this, how could the others want to sit behind others? He opened the lid, scooped out a spoonful and drank it.
I suddenly felt so comfortable. "What a fresh soup! It's better than the chef at Fule Yuan!"
The fat cook smiled cheerfully and looked unsurprised. He told everyone: "There are many other dishes in this building, and none of them are inferior to this soup. I will go back to the kitchen first. Many delicious foods will be here later."
!" With that said, like a victorious general, Long Xiang hurried back to the kitchen.
Xu Yungong also took a bite, knowing that this must be Zhu Su's method. Since coming to Zhuangzi, he knew that Zhu Su was extremely picky about this dish. He was not satisfied with the chef's skills and even cooked it himself.
.It is said that the Crown Princess’s exquisite cooking skills, which are famous in Yingtian Gaoming Circle, were taught by His Highness the Fifth Prince. After eating the dishes cooked by Zhu Su, Xu Yungong also felt that the things he had eaten in the mansion before were indeed pig food.
The most important thing is that Zhu Su told him that these dishes were so fresh because he developed a kind of umami powder using the method of studying things. The delicious dishes he and the princess cooked were all due to the power of this umami powder...
This made Xu Yungong even more curious about the study of objects.
After a while, all kinds of dishes were delivered to every table one after another. The dandies were moving their chopsticks with their index fingers wildly, and they were all shocked. The dishes on this table were all fresh and delicious, even plain.
The dishes you are used to eating here taste completely different from what you eat on weekdays.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo moretuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu situation, I this way, I that, I'll have to eat the food that my mother cooks, I won't be able to swallow it!"
Liao Quan, the crown prince of Deqinghou, shed tears while eating and looked funny. Strangely, none of the dandies present laughed at him, and some even nodded in agreement.
After a hearty meal, everyone was full. Everyone sat at the table and reminisced about the delicious food. They felt that both the auction just now and the dishes in this restaurant were very novel. Suddenly, I heard
There was a sound of a cloud board, and the restaurant couldn't help but become quiet. Everyone looked sideways downstairs. Is there any other novel toy?
I lowered my head and looked down, but I didn't know when a small table had been placed in the hall on the first floor, and then there was a musical prostitute playing the piano and singing: "The rolling waters of the Yangtze River are passing eastward..."
