Princess Fuyao

Chapter 51
If Fuyao heard this, he would probably be crazier than Dumb, right?Being caught by an unknown spy, what is it all about.However, where does she have that kind of time in Rome, like a woman from a wealthy family to mourn the Spring and Autumn, Fuyao still has a lot of things to do.

General Guo dispatched a group of soldiers from the northern Xinjiang barracks, and prepared to arrange them to lurk in various industries in the capital to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor to General Guo.

A familiar face in the crowd made Fuyao both surprised and delighted: "Wang Xi?"

"Fuyao!" Wang Xi, who was already half a head taller than Fuyao, couldn't help turning red eyes, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah! Wang Xi, looking at you like this, you can tell that you are a master of martial arts."

"You can't count as a master. In the martial arts competition last winter, I won third place, which is still far behind you."

"The third is also very powerful. I heard that the coaches of the third battalion have been changed. The third is now much more important than the third when I was then."

"Yes, the coach is much better than Ge Suming, he can be defeated with one hand."

"Wang Xi, I don't have anyone capable around me, why don't you help me?"

"is it okay?"

"Of course."

Wang Xi's eyes sparkled with excitement: "That would be great!"

The northern camp is in crisis now, Guo Bin and the others had to go there, and the skills and strategies they transferred were not all excellent, but the comments from the northern camp were quiet and honest.

There were 30 people who came with Wang Xi, all of them were of different age groups. Fuyao had to take a test one by one to see if they were calm enough, if they could adapt to changes, and most importantly, if they were loyal enough, and would they be attracted by small favors? The bribes and various tests made her so busy that she wished she could have a clone technique, and then, according to their specialties, find a way to arrange them to do things.

After finishing all this work, my brother-in-law sent a message, saying that he had made a crispy and fragrant roast duck according to Fuyao's picture book, and let Fuyao go over to taste it.

Zhang Chengyi is really able to endure hardships, the heat is unbearable, he stays by the duck roasting stove every day, studies hard and practice hard, this is how he can roast a qualified duck in just a few months.

Fuyao went to report to General Guo, and took the opportunity to ask him to taste it together. She was too busy for a while, and General Guo had a lot more gray hair on her temples, and she was tired and thin even when she was young and strong.

In this era, how many people can eat vegetables in winter?Almost all housewives know how to cook miso. Yaoqian cooks a delicious sauce with the seasoning provided by Fuyao. Fuyao cuts the roast duck into thin and even slices. He took General Guo and motioned him to put it in his mouth and have a taste.

General Guo just chewed it twice, and his eyes were full of smiles, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes seemed to be filled with satisfaction.

It is the rule of a literati family to eat without talking and sleep without talking. General Guo Wubian's family, even if they were prominent in the court, did not pay so much attention to their meals. They were only more refined and elegant than ordinary people.

"General, do you think this kind of roast duck can be heard in Beijing?" Fuyao said triumphantly.

"The only place is probably going to be closed." General Guo occasionally humored, although it was a bit cold, Fuyao couldn't help grinning.

"General, there are these side dishes, you try."

As a result, General Guo praised the duck neck, duck intestines, and duck blood soup on the table: "Liang Mingrui will come back tomorrow, this is high enough for him."

"It's so early to come back this year."

"Liang Bingwang also sensed that the crisis was approaching, and wrote a letter asking him to come back. We can already put him down now, but those killers haven't been eliminated yet, the emperor is afraid of planting disasters."

"Well, we'll figure out a way."

From Fuyao's point of view, there are still many things to be improved on roast duck, but this fresh way of eating is enough for the people of this dynasty, and continuous improvement in the future will just make diners feel fresh, leaving those imitators always far behind.

The brick-and-timber restaurant was completed last month, and the interior walls were whitewashed with white lime mixed with cotton wool. This kind of decoration is already the most extravagant in this era.The tables, chairs, and benches were started at the same time as the house was built, and now even the paint is completely dry.As the waiter's waiter, General Guo handed over a group of children from northern Xinjiang to Fuyao for training, and now they are also waiting to be employed.

A few cooks were recruited from the outside world, and some dishes were added according to their specialties. Some calligraphy and paintings were hung in the shop, and a few bamboo plants were placed, and the roast duck restaurant opened on another day.

General Guo couldn't come forward and say that it was his. On the day of opening, he had to find other ways to attract people with the most spending power in the capital.

The shopkeeper was from Yinhu, and he got in touch with the kitchen steward of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. He asked Wang Pingping to visit Liang Mingrui who had returned home, and brought a roast duck to the table. It is said to have a long face, but in fact, it is just for publicity.

Lord Fu's eldest grandson, Wang Pingping, is a well-known gluttonous family among the sons of the capital. The boy who brought the food was very attentive and taught the maid who was serving him to roll duck pancakes for his master.

One duck, eight people, disappeared before eating a few bites.The other young masters were still reserved and didn't say anything, but Wang Pingping couldn't take it anymore, and waved his hand at Liang Mingrui: "I didn't expect you to hide one hand, and bring another one."

Liang Mingrui waved to the servant, and the servant bowed out and ran away, but the second roast duck was not served until the banquet was almost over.

Wang Ping'an was very upset.

"Master, my leg is about to break. How can we roast duck like this in our kitchen? This is the signature dish of the newly opened Ya Fu Lou."

"Duck Building?" No one here has heard of it.

"Yes, it opened yesterday. It was opened by a relative of Guanshi Hu in the mansion, and he was specially entrusted to send the son a roast duck."

"A steward still has so much face?" Wang Ping was not happy.

"Oh, my young master, it's not that he has a big face, but that the mansion has a big face. Ya Fu Lou wished that every big family in the capital would give one as a gift, but it's a pity that they carry roast ducks, and even the door of your uncle's house is closed." Can't get in."

This is the truth, Wang Ping'an looked much better, and he patted the table proudly: "Tomorrow, I will invite everyone to the roast duck restaurant for dinner, see you soon."

Several people nodded one after another, and suggested calling a few more people. Wang Pingan felt that it was reasonable, and nodded happily.

After Liang Mingrui sent these playmates away, he went to bed early according to Wang Hao's arrangement. The little monkey had already told him that Fuyao now lives in Guojiazhuang outside the city, where security is very strict, but he has a way to get in.

I can't explain why, but when Liang Mingrui was in the camp in Northern Xinjiang, what he cared about most was Guo Bin, but what he missed the most was Ji Fuyao.

Little Monkey can't even be called Little Monkey anymore, he is also of average height, but very thin. He has taken five apprentices in the capital, and now he is also a man with horses.

In fact, it's not that there are loopholes in Guojiazhuang's defense, but that he has a badge to come and go at any time, and the guards just give him the green light.

In the middle of the night, when Fuyao heard someone knocking on the door, she wasn't surprised at all, Liang Mingrui still couldn't move around freely.

However, in the past, everyone didn't know his identity, and he wanted to inquire about some things through Fuyao. Now, it's no problem to meet General Guo at night, so he still has to use Fuyao's way.But Liang Mingrui's reasons were very good. General Guo worked hard during the day, so it was inappropriate to disturb him at night. Guo Bin also went there because of the situation in northern Xinjiang, so he had no choice but to find Fuyao.

Fuyao introduced the recent progress in detail.

"Now, we need to determine how deep the water is for King Fu, and whether the officials in the capital are his accomplices. As for those killers, we have to find a way to get rid of them. Therefore, Liang Bingwang's head has to be sent back temporarily. on his neck."

"what can I do?"

"Hee hee, tomorrow, let's go to Ya Fu Lou for dinner first. Not only is the roast duck delicious, but there are also other surprises."

……

"Oh, hahaha"

On the third day of opening, the roast duck restaurant already has [-]% occupancy rate.

In this backward era, advertising is really difficult to do. Ordinary people can't afford it at all, and high-ranking officials and nobles can't get close to them. According to Fuyao's proposal, shopkeeper Yang racked his brains, which made people in the circle of nobles in the capital , heard the name of Ya Fu Lou.

The next day, when Wang Ping approached Ya Fu Lou in the carriage he was riding in, he saw Xiao Er in a blue silk shirt coming forward to greet him graciously, which made him feel good.

"Master, you wish the box is on the third floor, and there are already friends waiting."

"Good!" Wang Pingping was very happy.

"This way, please."

Wang Ping happily went up to the third floor, and ran into someone head-on, and his good mood was instantly ruined.

Who is this?He is Chang Fugang, the youngest son of Chang Zhongyong, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Chang Fu had just been in the capital, and he was considered a relatively well-known figure. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 12. Since he was a child, he was known as a talented scholar, which made him arrogant. He was very contemptuous of his old father who was willing to shrink his neck and bowed down in front of King Fu. , on weekdays, he and Wang Pingan would fight against each other everywhere, and when the two met, they immediately confronted each other, and neither of them wanted to let it go.

"In the past, the filth was not enough to boast, but now there is no limit to the thoughts. The spring breeze is proud and the horseshoe is in a hurry. I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day." Wang Ping raised his head, pretending to be a literati reciting poems, and took the lead in attacking.Chang Fu had just been selected as a scholar, and later participated in Qiu Wei twice, but both of them lost his name to Sun Shan.Meng Jiao's talent has spread far and wide, but he won the Jinshi at the age of 50. Wang Ping'an used this to insinuate that Chang Fu was just about to pass the scientific examination.

Chang Fu was just trembling with anger, and it was the servant who helped him a bit before he could reply: "Long bows and short arrows, Shu horses approach the steps to cheat. Go to the thief for seven hundred miles, and Kuma Qiang fights alone. Suddenly met the thief, Riding a pig to the south—"

Wang Ping is fat and delicious. The most unheard word in his life is the word pig, and this song "Mocking Wu Yizong" is his most taboo. Not only does it contain the word pig, but it is also easy to remind people of him and Wu Yizong. Yizong is all the way, stupider than a pig.

"On the gold list, I occasionally lose the leading position. In the Ming Dynasty, the temporary sages, what should they do? If the situation is not successful, the struggle will not be unrestrained? Why bother to talk about the loss. Talented poets, they are naturally white-clothed ministers. Fireworks Lane, according to the contract Barrier. Fortunately, there is someone you like, and it is worth looking for. Let’s snuggle up to the red and lean on the emerald green, have a romantic life, and live a smooth life. Youth is paid for it. Forbear the false name, and sing it in a low voice!"

Liu Sanbian is talented and romantic, but his official career is bumpy. Chang Fugang was named Dasheng when he was young, but what worries him the most is that, like Liu Sanbian, he has no talent but no official luck. Sure enough, his face turned even darker.

"A branch of red, gorgeous dew and fragrant fragrance, clouds and rain on Wushan Mountain are in vain. May I ask who is like the Han Palace, poor Feiyan Yixin makeup." This poem is Li Bai's praise of Concubine Yang. The eunuch Gao Lishi secretly hated Li Bai for asking him to scratch his boots. , followed by Concubine Yang to slander, saying that Li Bai used Zhao Feiyan to satirize Concubine Yang for being fat, Concubine Yang immediately resented Li Bai, and finally let Tang Xuanzong send him away.

When Chang Fu just recited this poem, he not only borrowed Concubine Yang's fatness to reflect Wang Pingping, but also insinuated that the Wang family took advantage of women to ascend to power.In order to emphasize the effect, he continued on and on, "Sisters and brothers are all nobles, but poor Guangcai gave birth to a family. So the parents of the world will not regenerate boys but give birth to girls."

Wang Pingping didn't have as much ink in Chang Fugang's stomach. When he got here, he couldn't go on talking. He was so angry that he wanted to jump and fight Chang Fugang. Boy, pull the two of them apart.

Thinking that he had invited a large number of people, Wang Pingping finally managed to suppress his anger, moved west, and entered a box, while Chang Fugang walked into a box to the east.

The children of nobles in the capital have their own circles to play in. Chang Fugang is surrounded by mostly noble children who have passed the imperial examination and entered official careers, and Wang Ping's side is mostly noble children with titles. , and most of them are practicing boxing and kicking, and they are much stronger than ordinary people. When they heard that Chang Fugang dared to confront Wang Pingping, he didn't want to do it on the spot. A large group rushed to the east end of the box. It was poetic and picturesque, which aroused people's daydream, but was smashed to pieces by this group of domineering people.

Chang Fugang led a group of remnant soldiers away angrily, without even paying their bills.

Wang Ping was very trusting, and the group left after eating and drinking. When the cabinet asked him for damage compensation, he pointed his back with his thumb arrogantly: "Make a list and send it to my house!"

Throughout the dynasties, there have always been conflicts that are difficult to reconcile between the nobles and the nobles. The open and secret fights are particularly fierce, and the same is true in the Yong Dynasty. He is domineering and leaves some room for Qinggui to breathe, while the leader of Qinggui is an old cunning Chang Zhongyong. The old guy will not cause trouble if he can, and even if he does, he will slip away as soon as he can, absolutely not. It is not the one who took the initiative to find the nobles.

Such a situation, of course, can live in peace.

Ya Fu Lou suddenly lost hundreds of silver, so naturally it won't be like this. The Zhao Mansion and Wang Mansion received the bill soon.

On weekdays, the Zhao family was very low-key, the guy who delivered the bills had not been troubled, and the money was delivered the next day. , and sent a table of banquets over, which was regarded as a thank you for their cooperation.

The money of the palace is not so easy to take out.
