My father Yongle, building a five-good family

Chapter 26: Food Box from Zuixianlou
Zhu Gaoyu was quite happy to receive the shopkeeper's warm hospitality.

nonsense!

He spent real money, if he still can't enjoy some special services, wouldn't he be a sucker?

After the Yangchun noodles were served, Zhu Gaoyu first took a bite of the lion's head noodles. His mouth was full of oil and had a unique Nanjing flavor.

Tie Xuan wanted to be reserved at first, but after slurping a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks, his eyes brightened and he began to eat with a slurp.

Zhu Gaoyu acted like a host and asked Tie Xuan to serve some food:

"Try this salted duck. It's just the right flavor, not too salty or too bland. It's the signature dish here."

Tie Xuan picked up a piece as he was told, took a bite with the skin and meat still on, and the delicate juice slowly spread between his lips.

But at this time, Tie Xuan thought of his wife and children at home.

He hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took out the banknotes, and waved to the waiter:
"Can you please send a portion of this salted duck to my house?"

"This……"

The waiter was a little hesitant.

Salted duck is Zuixianlou’s signature dish. There is no problem selling it, except when the supply exceeds the demand.

As for this errand delivery business... Zuixianlou has never done such a business before.

But when the waiter's eyes fell on the face of Zhu Gaoyu on the other side, he saw Zhu Gaoyu sitting there, making faces, and he immediately understood.

Got it!
The God of Wealth has spoken, so just run errands.

Isn't it just a serving of salted duck? !

You know, the shopkeeper has secretly told him that the young master in front of him has a very extraordinary origin, and he would rather offend ordinary dignitaries than offend this young master in front of him.

In the entire Jinling city, there are only a handful of people who can dominate above the powerful and wealthy.

Thinking of this, the waiter's expression became more respectful.

After solving the problem that was bothering him, when Tie Xuan tasted the bowl of plain noodles, he only felt that the soup base was delicious and the noodles were chewy. In a moment, after eating a bowl of hot noodles, all his fatigue was swept away.

It's a pity that he still has important tasks to attend to, otherwise, after having a good meal and a good drink, he would sit in front of the window and look at the Qinhuai River sparkling in the setting sun, which would have been a different experience.

After the two of them said goodbye in a hurry, Zhu Gaoyu did not rush to pay the bill, but called the waiter again.

Wow.

A stack of banknotes was placed on the table.

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at Xiao Jixiang next to him, and Xiao Jixiang immediately understood what he meant, took out a card and put it in the arms of the waiter.

The waiter took a quick glance and vaguely saw that the face value of the banknote was quite large, so his smile became even brighter.

All I heard was Zhu Gaoyu's voice:

"This, this, this...you should also send these dishes to Lord Tiexuan's residence."

Facts have proved that as long as the benefits are sufficient, sometimes the rules can be compromised.

The waiter held the treasured banknotes in his hand and responded cheerfully:
"Okay! Just wait and see. I promise that when the lunch box arrives, the food inside will still be steaming hot!"

Zhu Gaoyu was relieved and waved his hand: "Let's pay the bill."

Just when it came to paying the bill, the shopkeeper came over with a rather surprised look on his face:

"Young Master, you don't know?"

Zhu Gaoyu was a little confused: "What should I know?" The shopkeeper was a little amused, "The master who just left has already settled all the accounts..."

Zhu Gaoyu was stunned and didn't know what to say for the first time.

This Tie Xuan... didn't even have much money in his pocket, but he still resolutely paid the bill, so that in the end Zhu Gaoyu became the one who got the free meal.

This brother... can get along!
Zhu Gaoyu unilaterally decided that from now on, Tie Xuan's name would be included in his list of good friends.

This guy is not only capable, but also has good character and is loyal. He is more reliable than his own brother, the second brother!
……

Although Tie Xuan was not a high-ranking official as a judge in the Governor's Office, he was still an official after all.

His residence was located in the east of Jinling, in the area of ​​Chang'an Avenue south of the imperial city.

The house is not big, but many people live in it.

In addition to Tiexuan's parents, there are three sons, two daughters and his wife.

Relying on Tie Xuan's meager salary, the family's life was not bad, but it was definitely not good either.

It's time to prepare dinner.

Yang, Tie Xuan's wife, was looking at the ingredients on the chopping board with some worry.

The children were in the growing period, especially the little ones, who could finish four large bowls of food every time they had a meal.

That's it...it's only about 70% full.

The two girls had smaller appetites, but as the saying goes, girls are delicate guests and must be carefully cared for. Let’s not talk about the luxury and pampering, at least as the daughters of officials, they must have two or three sets of clothes to change into…

In addition, my parents-in-law are getting old, so it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps in the road...

Yang sighed slightly, cut the tofu into square pieces, and prepared today's dinner.

Although the children were not picky, as a mother, she felt bad when she saw that they could only eat simple meals.

However, at this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly knocked.

Who would come to visit at this time?
Yang opened the door with a puzzled mood, and saw the errand boy with a fawning smile on his face, holding a food box in his hand that almost covered his head.

As soon as the waiter saw Yang, he began to speak well of her without any hesitation.

Yang was a little confused at first, but after listening to the whole thing, she finally realized:
"You said that the salted duck in this food box was sent by your husband."

The waiter nodded, smiling happily, and politely opened a corner of the food box:
"Not only that! I met a young master today, and he packed up some of the restaurant's signature dishes and sent them all to you. If you like them, why don't you come to our Zuixianlou next time?"

"We've got some fresh river fish caught in the next couple of days. Let's talk to the shopkeeper and he'll reserve a seat for you."

Yang felt quite embarrassed when she heard this.

A place like Zuixianlou, where a bowl of plain noodles costs 30% more than outside, is not a place a woman like her can go.

Fortunately, the waiter remembered that he still had work to do in the restaurant, so he didn't delay too much. After delivering the food, he left in a flash.

Yang still felt dazed at this moment.

She knows her husband well.

Tie Xuan has a serious personality, so why would he go to Zuixianlou to eat for no reason?
When did he meet such a domineering young master?
Speaking of which...

Yang seemed to have thought of something. She carried the food box, walked into the inner room, and slowly opened the lid.

Braised duck, glutinous rice with pork, butter pancakes, hollow glazed meatballs, and a large bowl of Yangchun noodles that was almost overflowing with several pieces of meat steak...
