Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1032 Dingxiang Tower

Wang Yuedao lived in Tongfu Inn in Luoyang. He had one upper room for himself and two lower rooms for his servants. A seven or eight-year-old book boy, Sui Er, lives in the same room with him and takes care of his own daily life.

Watching Shutong Sui'er spread the quilt for himself. Wang Yuedao said: "Sui'er, shall we go in for dinner later?"

Sui'er said: "I see there is food in Tongfu Inn. I wonder if it is delicious."

Wang Yuedao said: "Can you eat the food in the inn? You have been with me for two years, but you are still so careless about food."

At this moment, a boy came running quickly. Knocked on the door, entered the room, saluted and said: "Master Wang, there is someone outside looking for the official."

Wang Yuedao asked strangely: "Who is it?"

The boy said: "It's official Wang Gan who walks in Xuanfu Division every day. Official Wang Gan came to see him. Maybe he has committed a lawsuit?"

Wang Yuedao glared at the boy: "Who am I? How could I get involved in a lawsuit in Luoyang! Let him in!"

The boy stuck out his tongue and ran out quickly.

Not long after, Wang dared to enter the room. He bowed deeply to Wang Yuedao and said: "My lord, Wang Dare, is now a soldier under Xuanfu Prime Minister's account. The young master has just come to Luoyang, and everything is unfamiliar. Xuanfu Prime Minister is afraid that the young master will suffer a loss, so he specially asked me to accompany the young master."

Wang Yuedao said: "Mr. Xuanfu is a thoughtful person. Just so we are going to have dinner. Can you recommend a place?"

Wang Gan looked at the situation in Wang Yuedao's bedroom and knew that he was a man who was not short of money. He said: "If we talk about the most high-end restaurants in Luoyang City, it is naturally Wuwen Xidong, and there is also Dingxiang Restaurant. However, Wuwen Xidong is a gathering place for elegant literati, and it is not fun. Let's go to Dingxiang Restaurant. "

Wang Yuedao nodded: "Okay, let's go to Dingxiang Tower! If the food is not good, I won't spare you!"

After saying that, he took the book boy Sui'er and Wang Gan walked out of the inn.

When he came to the door of the inn, Wang Yuedao said: "How far is Dingxiang Tower from here? How about we rent some horses and donkeys to travel?"

Wang Gan said: "Young Master is joking. In Luoyang City, no matter where we go, it is cost-effective to take a carriage. Dingxiang Tower is not too far from here. If we take a carriage, we will arrive in less than half an hour. And riding a carriage also saves the trouble for Young Master." Hard."

Wang Yuedao said: "Is the carriage so convenient? Why can't you see it on the street?"

Wang Gan pointed to the street corner in front and said, "Isn't it over there? We can just stand on the roadside and wait for a while."

Wang Yuedao looked at the big willow tree in front, and sure enough there was a sign. As I got closer, I saw the words "Tongfu Inn on Changxiamen Street" written on the sign.

Wang Gan said: "Tongfu Inn is such a big sign. Not only here, there is also a carriage station on Jianchunmen Street. It is very convenient to get out of the inn."

Several people walked to the carriage station and after waiting for a while, a carriage came. The carriage was picked up by three horses with four wheels, pulling a large passenger carriage. There is a sign hanging on the car that says "Renhefang to Anzhongfang".

Several people got on the carriage and opened the door. Wang Yuedao discovered that there were two rows of seats on the left and right sides of the carriage, which could accommodate twelve people. There were three people in the car now, looking at him curiously. Wang Gan took out three copper coins and gave them to the driver, and also sat in.

The carriage moved forward, and after a while, it stopped again. Another person came up and sat next to Wang Yuedao.

At the next stop, the carriage stopped, and Wang Gan called everyone to get off. Wang Yue said, "We'll change cars here, and we'll be there after a while. It's two or three miles away." Wang Yue said, "It's only two or three miles away. We won't take a carriage. We'll walk there."

After walking for a while, Wang Yuedao said: "The carriage is indeed good, but there are too many people on it and it is not refreshing. From now on when we are in Luoyang, we should still ride horses."

Wang Gan said: "It turns out that the young master thinks there are too many people on the carriage, so just rent one yourself. In Luoyang, a carriage with many people on it at one time is called a public carriage. There is also a carriage that you can charter yourself, called a taxi. The young master is not short of money, so he can just be a taxi."

Wang Yuedao nodded: "I see. Next time you take a taxi, there is no reason to squeeze with others."

Since Dingxiang Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Luoyang, the lavishness cannot be neglected. There is a colorful building in front of the door, and female prostitutes in colorful clothes stand there. But the government-run restaurants were different. All the female prostitutes were sitting there quietly. Occasionally, a female prostitute would stand on the stage next to the colorful restaurant and sing, with a melodious voice.

These female prostitutes are all prostitutes who sing little songs for customers instead of selling their bodies. If you like a girl, you can throw money at her, but as long as you have enough money, there is a high probability that the girl can be manipulated by you. But there is one thing, the girl must be sincere, don't even think about using force.

After entering the colorful building, a boy came to greet him immediately. Asked: "Hello, you two! What do you want to eat when you come to Dingxiang Tower today?"

Wang Yuedao said: "Let's go inside and take a look first."

After saying that, he stepped into Dingxiang Tower. The boy followed closely behind, never leaving.

In the hall of Dingxiang Tower, there are various square tables. The diners ate quietly and spoke quietly.

Wang Yuedao looked around and said, "Come to a pavilion! How can we eat in the hall?"

The boy said: "Sir, please come with me."

After saying that, he quickly went upstairs and led Wang Yuedao and Wang Gan to a pavilion.

Wang Yuedao sat down comfortably by the window and said, "What delicious food do you have here? Can you recommend it?"

The waiter stepped forward and said: "We are one of the best restaurants in Luoyang City. As long as the season is appropriate, we can do whatever you name it!"

Wang Yuedao tilted his head and said: "What kind of restaurant dares to boast such nonsense! As long as I name it, you can make it?"

Wang Gan whispered: "Sir, let's just eat whatever we want. Why bother with the restaurant?"

Wang Yuedao looked at Wang Gan, then at the boy, and said: "Forget it, let's just eat whatever we want. Let's have a deboned goose paw, and another one of white chopped chicken. On the hot dishes, there's a squirrel mandarin fish, and a tofu box. A dish of salt and pepper quail, a dish of grilled elbow, and a mullet egg soup. It’s barely enough to eat.”

The boy agreed crisply and ran off.

Wang Yuedao said to Wang Gan: "Thankfully you persuaded me, otherwise I would have made things difficult for him. In a restaurant, Dare to brag about anything can cook anything. There are countless good things in the world, many of which he has never seen before."

Wang Gan responded casually, feeling a little annoyed at Wang Yuedao. What does it mean to get angry with a waiter in a restaurant?

Wang Yuedao looked around, not looking anywhere, obviously he didn't like this restaurant. He comes from a wealthy family. Although Dingxiang Restaurant is the number one restaurant in Luoyang, he doesn't take it seriously.
