Chapter five hundred and forty seventh leave early
The army has been stationed outside the city for two days, and the entire city of Tokyo is increasingly looking forward to it. People who originally wanted to downplay this matter simply cannot control the curiosity of the people.
So people continued to spontaneously send food, drinks, special snacks, and even silks and clothes to reward the army.
Outside Wansheng Gate, there was a sea of people, people eating pots of pulp, and officials representing the Tian family were walking back and forth. Although the army was stationed outside the city, the emperor could never show hesitation, let alone a victorious army.
The returning army?
The captured party members and some Western Qiangtou people who were unwilling to surrender to the Song Dynasty were escorted to Tokyo City. After the war, prisoners must be sacrificed. This is just one of the steps. There are also many other rituals such as granting food, drinking wine, and large rewards.
.
When the common people came to reward the army, no one would stop them. Ye An just left a message: "Pay attention to your appearance, the military appearance is neat, and there are rules for sitting, standing and walking!" Then he quietly left the camp and went home.
It was the first time for the people of Tokyo City to see the soldiers of Ru'an Huajun. After seeing them, they felt strange. Even if they were stationed in the wasteland beside the official road, even in the cold wind of late autumn, the camp was still strange.
Neat and even a bit clean.
There are military camps here and there, a bit like the government offices in Tokyo, but here they are more orderly than the government offices. The tents are connected one after another, criss-crossing but also forming straight lines.
Not only the people were amazed, but also the civil servants who were colleagues were astonished when they saw it.
The entire military camp is as regular as a chessboard, and people can't help but praise: "Fan Gong governs the army with the style of a Wuhou, I admire it! I admire it!"
At this time, Fan Yong would respond without hesitation: "Where, where! That's a prize, that's a prize!"
Of course, some people know that these are not from Fan Yong, but no one will point it out. For the civil servants in the court, most of them regard Ye An as a "wonder". There are not many civil servants who can lead troops to fight like this.
Naturally, you need to protect it well.
What's more, he kept a low profile after his return to the court. He was so "low-key" that everyone knew that he had returned to Xinlingfang, but no one reported this disrespectful behavior to the saints and officials.
So much so that those censors who were best at attacking the personal ethics of courtiers kept silent about Ye An's early entry into Tokyo City.
Of course Ye An doesn't care. Fan Yong, the old fox, is there for everything. The soldiers of Anhua Army and Zhenrong Army will naturally not suffer. As for Cao Yi, the good guy Cao family has almost settled their home outside Wansheng Gate.
There are all kinds of utensils and pomps, and even because Cao Yi fell in love with Ye An's barbecue, the Cao family specially invited a "food is the sky" chef from Tokyo to go to the camp to cook barbecue for him.
As for "Food is Heaven", it has recently become a brand in Tokyo City, not only because it is the property of Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, but it is also the most conspicuous business of Puhui Company in Tokyo City.
When Shiweitian started, it was just a cooking shop, but the food in this shop couldn't stand the taste. A thick smoke and smoke hovered over the steaming dishes, which was much more delicious than the steamed food.
.
The tavern next to Daisōkokuji Temple is still there, but fewer and fewer people come to eat and drink. More people are willing to go to better restaurants for the sake of cards. After all, there are taverns in all the restaurants in Tokyo.
of good wine.
The name of the drink is very simple, just "Xinlingfang". This is the name given by Ye An. At first, almost no one in the Hou family agreed with the name, but after Qin Mumu expressed his objection to no effect, everyone "happily accepted it"
.
Catering is the most profitable business in this era. There is no doubt about this. After all, the Song Dynasty was more open and prosperous than other dynasties. Where can human beings obtain happiness most directly? That is naturally catering.
There are many delicacies in Tokyo, but in the eyes of Ye An and Qin Mumu, they are quite rough. Most of the pastries that are steamed and cooked are almost unpalatable after they cool down.
But the baked pastry is different. After a period of time, it can be heated in the "oven" and it will maintain a good taste. At least it is much better than the snacks and food of this era.
What's more, catering not only includes pastries but also a large number of specialty foods. In this era where word-of-mouth is king, once a word-of-mouth is established, it will definitely be a "hot item" in this era.
Food and wine, and sometimes Lan Kwai Fong's occasional performances in the shops, make "Food is the Sky" an instant hit, and each shop has its own specialties.
Can such food be popular in Tokyo?
The answer is obviously no. Shiweitian became popular all of a sudden and even suppressed the limelight of many regular stores. The most important thing is that Shiweitian was not planned by Ye An and Qin Mumu...
…
The name of Shiweitian comes from Qin Mumu, who stayed in Tokyo, but the idea comes from a group of old shopkeepers in Puhui Store.
That's right, the shopkeepers of each store in the Puhui store must allocate three days every month to the head office for a meeting. Many topics discussed include the future development of the store.
This is a rule that Ye An set long ago, but there is no time fact, but this does not hinder Qin Mumu's operation.
The "Food is the Heaven" New Year greeting program has perfected this system in just a few months, and has spread "Food is the Heaven" all over the streets and alleys of Tokyo.
The big restaurants like Shiweitian, Huanmencailou, and high-end restaurants are prohibitive for ordinary people, but that’s not all. There is also a medium-priced restaurant called Shiweitian. The food is not bad. The only difference is that you can’t make your own wine.
Water and alcohol are from the tavern.
But this is still not all. There is another kind of food in the city of Tokyo. The place is not big, and the location is often in the corner of each neighborhood. Although the place is remote, the rent is not affordable, and with the name of food being the sky, the people are also
Quite a few, this kind of shop is very cheap. You can have a hearty meal here for only ten cents. If you spend an extra five cents, you can also get a dime of wine.
It can be said that Shiweitian's restaurants are in the high, middle and low grades. Everyone has to make money, and catering is almost necessary in Tokyo. In addition to poor families, even ordinary people also like to eat and drink in restaurants. It can be said that
A perfectly normal thing.
Rich people will have a kitchen at home. In addition to cooking for the servants who look after the home, there is also a small kitchen in the owner's house. Some of them taste good, and some of them are just unusable.
There is also a kind of takeout business in Tokyo, that is, errand boys. As a catering industry, Shiweitian must cooperate with these "errand boys" in Tokyo.
At the beginning, Qin Mumu planned to use the power of Puhui Company to integrate the "delivery" business. However, this era is very particular about business rules. Puhui Company is an outsider and a latecomer. Although it has food as its foundation, it has
You cannot force "eating out" in Tokyo, no matter how much money you have.
This is the first time that capital like Puhui Company has suffered in front of the guild.
But now Ye An is back. After he comes back, Qin Mumu naturally hopes that he will quickly take over the big stall of Puhui Store. During this time, the young couple has been working independently, and Qin Mumu has long been tired.
So after Ye An returned home quietly, what greeted him was not a hug from a beautiful girl, but a thick stack of ledgers.
