Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 384

It was Li Chaosheng's idea to visit in microservices. Lantian Fried Chicken Restaurant and Jixiangji opened. He wanted to visit, but he didn't want to go to see it. It was too ostentatious, so he dispatched a guard, and Local security needs to be arranged in advance. When the time comes, a dense group of people will guard Li Chaosheng when he goes to Jixiangji.

Chicken Fragrance Notes has always followed the line of being close to the people. If it is labeled as not being close to the people, it will be very bad.

Moreover, Chicken Fragrant Notes is intended to be used as a secret service agency. If you participate in a high-profile and be spread by someone with a heart, you will be alerted at once. The Lantian County Lord of the Chicken Fragrant Records opened in person, which is obviously not a simple relationship. Otherwise, would the Lantian County Venerable go there in person?
This is asking for trouble for yourself.

But if he didn't go, Li Chaosheng still felt itchy in his heart. After all, he seemed to know whether the fried chicken and French fries he invented would be popular in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, visiting Weifu is a very good way to check the situation without being in the limelight.

The first fried chicken restaurant in Daming, Jixiangji, opened in the central business district of Lantian, and it is also the first pedestrian street in Lantian. Because there are too many people here, the whole street is blocked by fences from the beginning to the end. No carriages or horses allowed.

At both ends of the pedestrian street, there are a bunch of people holding poles and baskets and guarding here. These people are all living on their stomachs. Because the kilometer-long pedestrian street does not allow large animals to enter, only people are allowed to enter, so some people bring goods into it by themselves. If you find it tiring to move, you can hire these porters at the entrance of this pedestrian street to transport it inside.

People who want to transport goods save energy, and porters earn money to support their families, and those who can work as porters here are poor families near Lantian. After they report to the Yamen, they can be qualified as porters. Here I work as a porter to supplement the family.

This can be regarded as a policy of benefiting the people of Lantian.

Walking into the pedestrian street, one street and two alleys are full of good business. The commercial area is unified with blue brick three-storey small buildings. The first floor is full of facades. Some of the second floors are opened up for business, and some are directly used as warehouses and residential areas. up.

There are a wide variety of goods here, selling food, drinking, clothing, toys, specialties from other regions, jewelry, gold and silver, as long as you can think of it, there are almost all here.

Most of them are selling food.

There are more than [-] large and small restaurants selling food here, the largest of which includes the Yuxianlou Lantian Store, which occupies a huge area.

Small shops, like old Shaanxi big bowls of wide noodles, Wu Dalang's cooking cakes, etc. to eat.

Among the many shops, everyone saw a shop with a plaque covered with red cloth. This shop occupied a small three-story building. On the guy's clothes, I saw the three small characters embroidered on Jixiangji.

When Li Chaosheng and his party arrived at the door, they saw that the people inside were still busy. At this time, Gu Zi leaned over to Li Chaosheng and said, "Master Xian, we came early. They opened at ten o'clock in the morning, and it's only 08:30 now."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Well, I'm in a hurry, let's go, I invite you to have breakfast, I left too early in the morning, I didn't come to eat in a hurry."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Okay, county lord."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "If you come out today, don't call me the county official, call me cousin."

Gu Zi was taken aback when he heard this, then nodded, Li Chaosheng looked at Li Chaotun and said, "It's the same with you, call your cousin, for a while, don't reveal yourself."

Li Chaotun smiled and said, "Cousin."

"Well, let's go and have breakfast. I heard that the mutton soup from Wang Laoguai's house is very good. Try it."

Li Chaosheng said that he took a few people forward. Li Chaosheng had never eaten Wanglaoguai mutton soup, but he heard from the guards that he was not allowed to go out to eat alone because of his status, but after some of his guards got off work, You can come to this pedestrian street for consumption.

It's not that Li Chaosheng has never eaten mutton soup. He is greedy because he hasn't eaten so freely for a long time. Sometimes power is not only a tool to restrain others, but also a tool to restrain himself, but this is what those in power should pay. the price.

Now let Li Chaosheng give up his rights and regain the freedom of an ordinary person, Li Chaosheng is definitely not willing, there is no way, rights are so fascinating.

Li Chaosheng was not immune either.

Wang Laoguai Sheep Soup Restaurant occupies a small two-story building with a large shop area. In the past, only the first floor sold mutton soup. Later, the business became too hot and the second floor was turned into a shop, leaving only the third floor as a warehouse.

The reason why Wang Laoguai is called this name is because this Wang Laoguai used to be a soldier in the Lantian Army. He was seriously injured during the defense of Qingyu and broke a leg.

Originally, Li Chaosheng and others gave him an idle position in the army for the elderly, but Wang Laoguai still had a lot of backbone, so he resolutely quit and insisted on changing jobs and returning home, so the military department gave him ten taels of changing jobs.

With this money, he opened a mutton soup restaurant with his family. The stall was small at first, but because Wang Laoguai insisted on making small profits but quick turnover, he gave a lot of mutton in the mutton soup, and the mutton was authentic Mongolian sheep. So the situation quickly opened up.

Because he was always on crutches, others called him Wang Laoguai. After a long time, the name of Wang Laoguai’s previous sheep soup restaurant was forgotten, and everyone began to habitually call him Wang Laoguai Sheep Soup Restaurant. .

Later, the main urban area of ​​Lantian was rebuilt, and the business community was first established. At that time, the planning of Li Chaosheng Pedestrian Street was too advanced, and many businesses were afraid to move in. Therefore, the selling price here was not high. Without saying anything, I took out all the belongings at home at that time, borrowed some from my comrades in arms, and bought a shop here.

At that time, the family members advised him, you are crazy, no one is optimistic about the pedestrian street, you invested all your money in it, and borrowed foreign debts, isn’t that crazy?

And Wang Laoguai replied: The plan of the county lord, as a veteran of Lantian, I have to support it even if I sell everything. If it weren't for the county lord, I would have starved to death.

Let's talk about the god-like figures of the county god, when have you ever seen the county god fail in what he did, and if you don't support the county god now, we will regret it in the future.

So Wang Laoguai resolutely bought this shop, and opened the sheep soup restaurant immediately. This time he directly removed the name of the previous sheep soup restaurant and changed it to Wang Laoguai sheep soup restaurant. It's hot, and his mutton soup restaurant is also up.

When he bought this shop, he spent 100 taels, and now he has made back his money by opening a mutton soup restaurant. What's more, the pedestrian street has gradually prospered in recent years, and the house prices have doubled several times. A few days ago, there was a big boss who wanted to spend 500 taels to buy this shop, but Wang Laoguai flatly refused, 500 taels, in a few years, when Lantian is more developed, this shop may sell for thousands of taels, and selling now is not a loss.

And the family members are now very convinced of Wang Laoguai. One decision made by Wang Laoguai has transformed their family from a tent selling mutton soup on the side of the road to the largest commercial store in Lantian selling mutton soup. This level is higher. The son was brought up, and the life of the whole family has undergone earth-shaking changes, all of which are caused by the decision of the man on crutches in front of him.

Wang Laoguai is now the spiritual pillar of the whole family, no one questioned Wang Laoguai's decision-making anymore, and Wang Laoguai knew that he had no decision-making, everything was given to him by the county magistrate, he just chose to believe in the county My respect, I have this happy life today.

Thinking of Wang Laoguai, he looked at his broken leg. He remembered that during the war, his leg was cut off and could not be repaired. When the county magistrate came to visit him, the magistrate held his hand and said many comforting words to him.

He was really moved. When he was a soldier, he was willing to sell his life to the county lord for a piece of meat. The county lord owed him nothing, but he only fought for the county lord and broke a leg. Treating me so favorably, I was almost starving to death, the county lord gave me a bite to survive, but the county lord treated me like my brother at that time.

May I ask who in the world can treat these mud-legged people like the county lords, and treat them like brothers? He, Wang Laoguai, will never forget the way the county lords held his hand at that time. The county lords were so friendly at that time , so amiable, just like the guest at that table.

and many more!

Wang Laoguai thought about it, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked like he saw God, and he followed Wang Laoguai and rubbed his eyes, oh my god, it's not true.

Because at a table not far away, he saw seven men sitting together. They were sitting in a corner.

Even in his dreams, he can't forget this man's face. It's really the county magistrate. The magistrate actually came to eat at his own shop, oh my god.

At this time, the waiter who had just ordered for Li Chaosheng walked back with the menu, Wang Laoguai immediately stopped the waiter and said, "Wait, what did the customer order just now?"

The waiter heard the words: "Two bowls of haggis soup, five bowls of mutton soup, twenty scallion pancakes."

After hearing this, Wang Laoguai said: "Well, add two plates of sauced mutton for them, pick the best one and cut it for them, and..."

Wang Laoguai ordered for a while, and the waiter's eyes widened. The dishes added by the boss are the most expensive in the store. This is much more expensive than mutton soup. The boss is planning to slaughter others because they have money?
"Boss, this is Lantian County. Don't buy and sell by force. You give them so much, what will they do if they don't pay?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Laoguai said, "I will give you any money you want."

"Ah, Boss, all these dishes are almost a silver dollar. You give them, your relatives?"

The waiter asked puzzledly, Wang Laoguai glared and said, "What do you care about?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the waiter and personally ordered the chef to show the best craftsmanship.

Sitting in the corner, Li Chaosheng watched the diners around eating the mutton soup with relish, and couldn't help laughing: "The business here is good, it's almost full this early in the morning."

At this time, a guard said: "Where is this? When there are really many people, it is at night. There is no room to sit in the room. There are tables on the side outside."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "That's really hot."

At this time another guard said: "Master Xian, you don't know yet, this Wang Laoguai used to be a member of our army."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng's eyes lit up, and he followed the guards and said, "That's right, and he was a third-class hero during the Qingyu defense war, and later changed his job to open a sheep soup restaurant."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng had an impression in his mind, as if there was that soldier whose leg was broken back then, what was his name?

At this time, Guzi said from the side: "Wang Bencai, a native of Languan Town, when there was a disaster in Languan Town, it was just in time for us to take Heilongzhai and recruit soldiers and horses, so we took him in. After training for a while, we caught up with him." He was injured during the Qingyu defense battle. After the injury, you issued a pension policy for wounded soldiers and planned to keep him in the army. Unexpectedly, he was very strong, so he refused. After receiving ten taels of silver pension Changed jobs and returned to the place.”

Li Chaosheng nodded after hearing this, but he is not surprised why Guzi knows such details. As his personal secretary, Guzi will check the situation near the place where Li Chaosheng travels. Yesterday Li Chaosheng shouted to drink sheep. Tang, Guzi pulled out relevant information overnight.

If Wang Laoguai finds out that there is something wrong, Guzi is likely to act in advance.

"Well, this Wang Bencai is a good example. A few days ago, I discussed with Li Chaolong about the transfer of wounded soldiers. There are many wounded soldiers in the army, and many of them feel that they can't bear to eat military rations for nothing, so If you want to leave, make room, and don’t eat the county’s food for nothing.”

"I don't support this. They hurt because of Lantian. Lantian should take care of them for the rest of their lives. But after looking at Wang Bencai's case, I'm narrow-minded about this matter, Guzi."

"exist."

Gu Zi whispered.

Li Chaosheng said: "Go back and inform people from the Ministry of Commerce, the Military Department, and the Political Department to come to my office for a meeting to discuss the issue of changing jobs for disabled soldiers. We should encourage disabled soldiers who want to go out and make a fortune. The Ministry of Commerce A certain amount of funds should be used as entrepreneurial funds for disabled soldiers. The military department should give regular feedback, and provide logistical support for soldiers who are not doing well. Don’t let them have any worries. The political department should urge local governments to give policy support Lean to help them get on their heels quickly."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said, "Yes, I will arrange it immediately when I go back."

Li Chaosheng was talking at this time, at this moment two fair-faced young masters suddenly came in, one of the leading ones was handsome and indescribably good-looking, the other was almost mean, but still closely following the young master.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, the young master said, "Ah, there are a lot of people here. Come on, find a place to sit."

"Little...Master, there are too many people here, let's go."

At this time, the servant who followed behind said, and after hearing this, the young master said: "Hurry up and find a place to sit down, it is only lively when there are many people, don't say that Lantian County is more lively than Xi'an Mansion."

Listening to what the two said, Li Chaosheng and the others smelled the smell of powder in the air, woman!
