Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 20 Another chance encounter

At the night market, most of the cooking vendors are packed.

Most of the barbecue and other snacks are missing, but there are still [-] or [-] restaurants that directly provide customers with different choices, so they are unprecedentedly popular.

Jia Changchao and the two enjoyed the meal very much and expressed emotion.

"Jiefu, you must eat all of these before you leave Beijing. This food tastes great. You can't eat it anywhere else!"

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "I don't need to remind Mr. Jia, I will come to eat."

"Unexpectedly, this place is quiet and elegant compared to Fan Lou. Although it is a street stall, it has a unique flavor. It is amazing!"

The two were laughing and chatting.

Suddenly, Wang Anshi saw a person not far away, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

This kid is actually wandering around the night market!

Selling fried buns!

On that day, Wang Anshi had been unhappy with Zhao He because of Zhao He's actions and words. They had different positions and naturally insisted on different principles. After being criticized, he was dragged away by Jia Gong before he could organize his words. .

At that time, Wang Anshi couldn't understand why the two of them accepted the petty hawker's words.
Seeing the expression on Wang Anshi's face, Jia Changchao was a little confused and followed his gaze.

Oh, it turns out to be this kid, no wonder.

Jia Changchao stood up and waved: "Xiao Langjun, here."

Holding the barbecue he bought for free from behind, Zhao Hezheng was looking for girls on the street, planning to have an 'accidental' passionate encounter.

There are so many people, and I was careless. You won’t blame me, right?
Of course, you have to choose a good person to do this kind of thing, preferably a young woman. This kind of woman is generally not too restrained and won't particularly care if you bump into her. She might even respond because you are good-looking. I'll tease you a bit.

Regarding this point, Zhao He is quite confident and has already confirmed it many times!
However, the voice from behind broke his thoughts.

Looking back, the two of them seemed familiar, but I couldn't figure out where they had met before.

Zhao He walked over and politely raised his hands: "Boy, have we met somewhere?"

Wang Anshi snorted, with no expression on his face.

Looking at this stinky face, Zhao He understood immediately.

"Did you eat at my foot shop that day?"

Jia Changchao smiled and nodded: "Xiao Langjun has a pretty good memory. The cooking here tastes good, why not try it?"

Zhao He waved his hand: "I've been here for a long time and I'm tired of eating. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

When the two heard this, they were stunned.

I called you here specifically because I saw an acquaintance and wanted to chat. Are you leaving now?
Wang Anshi was angry, you little boy with no eyesight, if you knew that this was the prime minister of the dynasty, you would be scared to death!
Of course the two of them did not reveal their identities, but Jia Changchao lowered his face and said, "It is fate that we can meet today. How about sitting together, young man?"

Zhao He glanced at the old man. He seemed to have no ill intentions. Moreover, the old man was quite polite that day. He was not very angry even though he was so offended.

So Zhao He found a stool and sat down. Seeing that both of them had almost eaten, he immediately called to the vendor not far away to bring two dishes over.

Seeing this, the guests who had been queuing for a long time were quite dissatisfied.

"Why should you give it to them first?"

"We've been waiting for a long time!"

The vendor smiled and said: "This is the boss, there is nothing I can do about it, but don't worry, I can cook the food very quickly and serve it right away!"

Seeing this, the two of them had strange expressions.

boss?

Zhao He also had a strange expression: "What's wrong? You've all finished eating, and I don't have to eat?"

Uh, that seems to be the case.

But doesn’t this guy own a fried bun shop?How did you become the boss here?
"You two are welcome, just eat whatever you want, I can't finish it by myself."

Jia Changchao had a smile on his face: "I originally planned to eat here and queue there, but unexpectedly I ate right away. I thanked you."

Wang Anshi still had no expression, and it was impossible for him to thank this kid who had quarreled with him.

As for this dish, I definitely won’t eat it!
Jia Changchao didn't see anyone else, he started moving his chopsticks and couldn't stop doing it.

"This mutton is fried so well, it's really unexpected!"

"This is stir-fried diced chicken? It's so spicy and tender. It needs to be paired with wine."

"It tastes wonderful, Jiefu, don't you want to eat it?"

When Wang Anshi saw this, his throat began to crawl.

I want to eat!
He looked at Jia Changchao, who was enjoying his meal at this moment, and after a moment of confusion, he also moved his chopsticks.They come here to eat delicious food, at worst they will be paid later!

Ever since, the two of them fell into the powerful temptation of delicious food.

Jia Changchao asked curiously while eating: "Little Master, I remember that your family owns a foot shop. How come you are the owner of these stalls?"

Zhao He smiled: "I just helped a little, it's nothing, it's all the neighbors shouting."

"But as far as I know, there aren't many cooking restaurants in Bianjing in this dynasty, right? How come there are so many stir-fry dishes here?"

"Maybe these people have enlightened themselves, I don't know."

At this time, the vendor not far away looked panicked and asked loudly: "Xiao Langjun, why does my tofu rotten as soon as it is fried?"

"Oh, when you fry it, fry the tofu in the pan first, and then fry it again."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Lang!"

The two of them watched this scene, and the chicken in Wang Anshi's mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

"Is it possible that you made all these dishes?"

Zhao He suddenly raised his head and said calmly: "I just helped these traders, it's nothing."

For people in the market, it is easy to get beaten up if you pretend like this.

But for two people in the officialdom of the court, it seems to have a different effect.

Breeze and high festival!

Jia Changchao and the two looked stunned and a little amazed.

"Unexpectedly, in addition to fried buns and steamed buns, the young man can also make stir-fried dishes?"

Wang Anshi's face also showed a hint of surprise, but he did not speak.

If you know how to make stir-fry and it tastes so delicious, why don’t you go to Fan Lou to make money instead of here?
If Fan Lou's stir-fried dishes were half as delicious as here, he wouldn't say that they taste like dirt.

Jia Changchao said with a smile: "The young man knows so many things, but his knowledge and insights are also quite high. He is really extraordinary."

At this moment, Wang Anshi felt a little weird and a little angry.

Mr. Jia actually praised this boy, just because of cooking?

Hey, you kid, just have fun secretly. Looking at the court, Mr. Jia has never praised anyone, whether he is sincere or not.

Zhao He didn't take it seriously because he couldn't eat the compliments, but he didn't have any bad feelings towards the old man.

"What the young man said earlier, I have thought about it after I went back. My opinion is pertinent and makes sense."

Zhao He knew that this person was talking about the New Deal, so he nodded.

"It's just the words of a young man. Don't worry about it, old gentleman."

Jia Changchao shook his head: "I find it very interesting. From the perspective of the initiators of the New Deal, they are indeed seeking benefits for the country and the people. However, from the overall perspective, the New Deal is difficult to maintain and the impact will be greater. , exacerbating the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty."

"I'm afraid this is what Xiaolangjun wanted to say that day, Jiefu, what do you think?"

Wang Anshi sighed slightly. When he served in a local government, he often saw more things. He saw that the people benefited for a while, but he also saw the fierce reactions of the local scholar-officials and dignitaries, so he had such an opinion.

"That's what Mr. Jia said."

Zhao He saw that Jia Changchao meant to resolve the misunderstanding between the two. In fact, this was not a misunderstanding, just a difference of opinion. Besides, his future interactions with this unknown young man would not be too big. Many, just like today's chance encounter, it's just a coincidence.

The ancients were really cute, they always wanted to think things through and then do it clearly.

Seeing this, Zhao He no longer cared about their previous remarks, and took the initiative to say: "I asked you not to take offense when I offended you that day. I really don't want to see people like Fan Xianggong who seek benefit for the country being criticized, so I can be considered impulsive. "

Hearing this, Wang Anshi also sighed and said: "This matter is nothing more than different stances and different opinions. It is not an offense and I don't have to worry about it."

Seeing that the two of them had reached a temporary solution, Jia Changchao also felt relieved.

He actually had no ill feelings toward Fan Zhongyan and others, but he also knew that what they did was inappropriate. After they were demoted, most of the people in the court made disparaging comments.

To put it bluntly, the positions are still different. Of course, there are many whose interests have been violated and will belittle them at all costs.

So after Jia Changchao returned that day, he thought about it and finally figured it out.

People in the world will never forget those who seek benefit for the country. The failure of the New Deal is simply because there are too many people who seek benefit for themselves.

Also helpless.

"The Liao people sent a mission to the Song Dynasty."
