"Have you ever heard that the state of Lu is gone and all of it has returned to its original state?"
"Such a major event has been widely spread among the public."
Tong Ying was half-lying on the counter, reading a book from Yuan Guo. During this period, she would repeatedly turn her eyes to the two people.
Staying inside the shop, you can smell the strong aroma of bone soup.
Tong Ying didn't want to listen, but she could still hear the diners talking about recent events.
Middle-aged people and young people are not at the same table.
This restaurant is not big. The store is less than ten square meters. There are eight sets of short square tables and corresponding futons for kneeling in the store. There are two common modern benches and a bench outside the store.
There is a long shared table, with middle-aged people outside and young people inside.
Naturally, there are reasons why Tong Ying Club pays special attention to middle-aged people and young people.
The middle-aged man outside the store is alone, and his clothes don't look special, just ordinary people's clothes.
Just as a craftsman from the original country who came to the Song Dynasty, Tong Ying knew his mission very well.
The young man in the store looks dark-skinned and plainly dressed, but he looks different from ordinary people.
If there is any difference, it is probably because young people have very sharp eyes and their hands already have thick calluses at a young age.
You are not very old, but you have calluses on your hands? You must have been focusing on some craft all year round, and you have great perseverance and perseverance, otherwise it would not be possible.
Rice Ball Exploration
Tong Ying noticed that the Youth Club had been staring at the middle-aged man, with curiosity and more of scrutiny in his eyes.
The store is located in the north of "Hongkou", and "Hongkou" is located about 20 miles east of "Shangqiu". The scale of the city does not seem large, but the commercial atmosphere of the Song Dynasty is now the strongest among all countries, even if
The small "Hongkou" is located in the "Shangqiu" economic circle, and there are still many merchants coming and going.
"What do you use for the skin and what do you use for the filling? How can it be so delicious?"
Tong Ying looked at the middle-aged man who asked the question with astonished eyes. The subtext was: If you are so blatantly interfering with business secrets, is it possible that you have a brain disease?
Even though restaurants only sell wontons, they actually have a system, such as the selection and production of dough materials, how to raise the pigs for stuffing, and how to find and cultivate green onions.
A bowl of wontons, in addition to the exquisiteness of the meat filling, everything from the soup to the chopped green onions is a science. In less than four days since Tong Ying opened his shop, word spread throughout the city that there was a shop selling gourmet food near the city gate in the north of the city.
Of course, the main reason why it can spread throughout a short period of time is that the food is novel and delicious enough.
The middle-aged man asked, not about the cooking method. He wondered how ordinary people could have the resources to study delicious food, and was curious about where the restaurant owners learned the cooking methods.
"Are you from the original country?" the middle-aged man asked.
Tong Ying looked slightly stunned and replied: "That's right. I don't know what you can give me."
Having said that, the business atmosphere in the Song Dynasty is relatively strong. Not only are there merchants who come and go, there will definitely be people from other countries coming to do business.
Although Tongzheng is one of Yuan's masterpieces produced in the Song Dynasty, there would be no big problem if the origin is revealed directly.
The middle-aged man's name is Xiang Xiu. Looking at the prefix, you can tell that he comes from the Xiang family in the Song Dynasty.
And Xiang Chao of the Xiang family is currently the Zuo Shi of the Song Dynasty, which is enough to say that his family background is prominent.
"If you want to buy a prescription, can you sell it in one step?" Xiang Xiu first told his origin, and then asked.
Tong Ying already knew who Xiang Xiu was, but the target was not Xiang Xiu, but that young man.
"My lord, this is how Ying makes a living." Tong Ying looked embarrassed.
The young man was attracted by what was happening at the counter, and his attention immediately turned around.
A seemingly ordinary young man can become the target of Yuan Guo's spy just because the young man is called Mo Zhai.
Don’t know who Mo Zhai is? Do you know Mo Zi?
Mozi, who is about 20 years old this year, is in the traveling stage, looking for his own direction in life.
Mozi studied Confucianism in his early years, but later found that Confucianism was not suitable for him. Then his teacher learned that Mozi liked to play carpentry and often scolded him.
In fact, it is a common problem among Confucian scholars to care about their hobbies. This common problem is that if the teacher doesn't like something, everyone under his disciples should not like it. If you still refuse to give up even if you know that the teacher doesn't like it, you will inevitably have a comment that you are bored with things.
Crafts such as carpentry are not Mo's ancestral skills. Mozi's ancestors were from the Yin and Shang royal families, but they were completely destitute in his generation.
Whatever a person likes, as long as that matter does not hinder others, even if it is useless, it should not be completely denied.
After all, who doesn't have a hobby that seems completely useless but can relieve stress? It won't hurt anyone, and there will be no harm in spreading the word. It would be obviously baffling to completely deny it.
Should carpentry skills be denied? Even among people who are also "Confucians", some "Confucians" do not object to their students mastering more crafts. The problem is that there are also "Confucians" who "exalt only Confucianism".
Mozi listened for a while and heard that the store owner did not want to sell the skills to make a living, but Xiang Xiu started to use his status to pressure others.
"The owner of the house has lost his teeth. This product is soft and easy to eat. If you buy it at home, it will not ruin the business of the store." Xiang Xiu said.
Entering the Warring States Period, many things have changed, and even more things have remained the same.
Of course, powerful people enjoy privileges and use their power to gain whatever they want. This is the same in any era.
Mo Zi knew Xiang Xiu and had even had many contacts with him recently. He thought of something and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
A bell-like sound penetrated the rest of the noise coming from the street and entered Tong Ying's ears. He followed the sound and saw a bright red figure, and also saw Mozi who suddenly wanted to hide.
The red figure was a girl. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. She stopped at the door and said loudly: "Is this the restaurant?"
Tong Ying noticed that the girl was coming, and there were a lot of people following her. Some of them looked like servants, and there were many powerful warriors.
"These people were dismissed one by one." The girl said seemingly arrogantly.
The servants were about to make a move, and Mozi shouted "Slow down!" to stop the servants. He pulled the girl and bit her ears.
I don't know how Mozi persuaded the girl. Not only were the servants scattered, but there were only two warriors left.
Of course, the departing samurai and servants were nearby, but at last they did not cause congestion in the streets, nor did they arbitrarily drive away the restaurant customers.
However, after such a commotion, most of the customers in the restaurant either hurriedly finished their meal and left, or simply left without eating.
This is the way of life for ordinary people. Seeing that dignitaries will not come forward to get involved, it may not be beneficial to serve them if they are happy. If they are angry, they will face disaster, so hiding becomes the most rational option.
Tong Ying had a guess and thought: "This girl is the daughter of the Huang family that Mo Zhai met not long ago?"
These days, it's not a big deal for women to be in the spotlight.
In fact, there are women in the military, and it is even common for women to fight in battle.
Tong Ying had been paying attention to Mozi's movements. How could she not know that Mozi and Huang's daughter met by chance and became involved.
Huang's daughter is named Ying. According to the current custom, women are called by their surname instead of their family name, so they should be called Yingsi.
By the way, why did Tong Ying, a craftsman from the original country, pay attention to Mozi? There was no other reason. He just obeyed the orders from above.
Ying Si glanced at the store for a few times, glanced at Xiang Xiu, her eyes fell on Mozi, and asked: "I wonder if the store can sell restaurants?"
After hearing this, Mo Zi stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, helplessness appeared on his face.
At this point, Tong Ying was thinking: "It seems that the rumors are true. The Huang family's daughter loves Mo Zhai very much."
Yingsi didn't care about Tong Ying's feelings at all. She walked to Mozi and started chattering.
Mozi, on the other hand, kept looking at Tong Ying with an apologetic expression, and was embarrassed by Ying Si's constant chirping.
However, Xiang Xiu became a little angry and said, "Don't mention first come, first served. How can you know who I am?"
The Huang family was just a non-public noble of the Song Dynasty, and was not ranked among the many nobles of the Song Dynasty.
Xiang Xiu didn't know who Ying Si was, he only knew that Ying Si wanted to rob him.
No matter how well-educated noble people like them are, they don't care much about the feelings of ordinary people. This is true for both Xiang Xiu and Ying Si.
Mozi was different. He was one of the ordinary people. Not to mention any empathy, he felt unhappy just because of what was right and wrong, and left with a sullen face without saying a word.
Tong Ying returned to behind the counter, and a middle-aged man who had followed Ying Si came over.
The middle-aged man stared straight at Tong Ying without saying a word.
In fact, the middle-aged man's meaning is very obvious. His young master said that the restaurant has changed its owner from now on, so it must be a change of owner.
At this time, Xiang Xiu followed him to the counter.
The middle-aged man who obviously knew Xiang Xiu quickly took a few steps away.
Xiang Xiu stared at the middle-aged man silently.
What's the meaning?
In fact, what else could it mean? Who is the Huang family? Who dares to compete with the Xiang family?
It doesn’t matter if Nvwazi’s family is ignorant, but a middle-aged man who is obviously one of the Huang family’s retainers also does things without thinking?
In fact, it doesn't matter just to offend Xiang Xiu, but the price of offending Xiang is too high for Huang.
You must know that Xiang Chao is the left master of the Song Dynasty, and his younger brother Xiang Yu is gradually being used in important roles.
The little Huang family hated the Xiang family. Even if there was no direct revenge from the Xiang family, the next time they were called up and thrown into a battlefield with extremely intense fighting, believe it or not, the Huang family would be dead in one battle.
So, there is a fact that a family like the Huang family that is noble in the eyes of ordinary people is really far away from the real powerful people. Once it offends people it cannot afford to offend, it means that the family is not far from destruction.
"The above means to let Mo Zhai leave the Song Dynasty. Maybe what happened today is an opportunity!" Tong Ying thought to herself.
Tong Ying doesn't need to know why the country pays so much attention to Mo Zhai, she just needs to complete the task.
Eating wontons is not uncommon in the original country, and the Song Dynasty is not alone in gathering merchants from all over the world. The people who sell wontons are not necessarily craftsmen, but they must be from the original country.
So, one day there may be legends about the Wonton Shop, such as how much the Wonton Shop contributed to the Yuan Dynasty’s domination of the world, and it may become the “meme” of a prank in later generations.
Wontons really shouldn’t have appeared in 459 BC, and they weren’t stuffed with pork in the first place.
According to legend, wontons are actually called Hundun. The origin is that during the Western Han Dynasty, a little Huns king named King Hunton invaded the border of the Han Empire for a long time and burned, killed, and looted. People hated him so much that they made a kind of soup cake stuffed with meat.
It was named wonton, which means eating the flesh of the enemy King Chaos.
Of course there are other explanations for wontons, so I won’t list them all here.
The original country has a lot of food that should not appear in the current era, and there are even more other things, including the placement and preparation of the food in various countries.
One day, Tong Ying found Mozi looking miserable, which really shocked Mozi.
"Harm me with one step!" Tong Ying shouted.
Mozi wanted to deny it at first, but then he thought of something and showed a guilty expression, thinking: "It was indeed me who harmed him."
Because Mozi liked to eat wontons and would go there every day. Xiangxiu and Yingsi appeared in that wonton shop because of Mozi. Wasn't it Mozi who harmed Tong Ying?
"You can save your life now because you are from the original country. If you were not from the original country, your life would have been lost!" Tong Ying told the truth.
In today's world, the original country is the only strong country. Even if the people of the powerful country are in a foreign country, they will naturally have a protective film just because the mother country is strong.
"Run away for your life." Mozi said suddenly.
Tong Ying was stunned by this unscripted scene.
Mozi said: "Zhai is not a well-known person, and his whereabouts have never been mentioned to me. When something happens to me, I can come to my door. No matter why I am plotting against Zhai, I must be plotting against him."
Isn't it? Mo Zhai is not the world-famous Mozi yet, he is just a young man who is determined to compete with the public transportation class, and he has never mentioned his ambition to anyone, which initially attracted Xiang.
There was only one reason why the Xiang family valued Mozi. They were the family in charge of the army of the Song Dynasty. They knew that they had entered a time of great strife and there would be no shortage of city offensive and defensive battles in the future. By chance, they learned that Mozi was researching city defense equipment and wanted to recruit them.
.
Xiang Xiu was the tribesman who arranged for Xiang Chao to come to recruit Mo Zi. Xiang Xiu obviously did not realize the importance of Mo Zi. Some of his actions were quite incompatible with Mo Zi's ideas, which led to Mo Zi's delay in accepting Xiang's ideas.
solicit.
Mozi, who had not yet created a theory, had some preliminary thoughts on some of the ideas in his theory during his travels, including the fact that he disliked bullying the weak.
Otherwise, could Mozi not understand that if he wants to make a difference, he needs channels from powerful people?
"You..." Tong Ying was thinking whether to deny it or to call her companions to rush in and simply snatch Mozi away.
Mozi held a hammer and a bronze awl in his hand. Regardless of the metal composition, just the appearance of the tools clearly showed that they were made after imitating the original country.
Tong Ying glanced at the courtyard and her eyes suddenly shrank.
What's going on?
There are a lot of materials in the small courtyard, the most eye-catching one is a bed crossbow!
Mozi saw where Tong Ying was looking, stood up and took a few steps back, picked up the sword that was originally placed on the wooden stake, and asked with a smile: "Although I don't know why Yuan Guo pays attention to Zhai, it's not good to do anything.
It must be without a doubt.”
This made Tong Ying even more aware that the plan was failing and that it was imperative to use force to grab him!
