Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61

"Go and watch the excitement! Li's Longsheng Company is going to have a big banquet for three days, hurry up and grab a seat! Otherwise, it will be too late."

"Yes! Yes! Hurry up and grab a seat. The Feitianwu of Longsheng Company, it's a pleasure to watch it up close at night. You have to go quickly, and lunch and dinner will be settled there by the way."

The red-clothed army outside the city was turbulent, but the people in the city were as motionless as a mountain. At this time, they heard about the activities of a business, and the situation suddenly changed, causing a great change in the city. As for the officers and soldiers in the city, they dared not say anything. Say something loudly, and obediently come to help the Li family maintain order.

Zhu Qian sent people to watch the old blacksmith's door. The blacksmith who can take out such a dagger must have a few brushes under his hand. , all aroused Zhu Gan's interest.

But now what Zhu Gan wants to do more is to see the pomp of the Li family and hear the comments of the people around him. The Li family seems to be just a branch in Xuzhou City. The people can't say for a while how big the family is. Clearly, in their words anyway.

He was so exaggerated that he only knew about the money, yellow and plums in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't know that there was Zhang Xuzhu in the court. Seeing the excitement of the people, Zhu Qian heard this, he was noncommittal, and led his people to follow the crowd to find the fragrance of rice.

The several miles long street is full of running water mats, sit here and eat at one table, as long as you feel that you don’t have enough, you can stay and continue to eat at the second table, Zhu Gan and his group sat on a few Zhuozi, and there was no one serving the food Ask them where they are from, even pass by them without looking at them, just put down the dish, say the name of the dish, and continue to go to the next place.

"Tsk tsk! I'm afraid it will cost more than [-] taels of silver to set up this flowing water banquet!" Zhu Qian looked at the things on the table. They were not ordinary big fish and meat, but all exquisite Xuzhou famous dishes. Dazzling, Yiya Five Flavors Chicken, Farewell My Concubine, Mandarin Duck Chicken, Scallion Roasted Goose, Lotte Duck, Meatball Soup, Kaiyang Fried Moss Vegetables, Children’s Crisp, Dongpo Rewarded Meat...

Looking at the same thing, there are countless colorful dishes, big dishes, small dishes, and cold dishes. Zhu Gan almost bit his tongue. You must know that compared with these local tyrants and squires, he is completely a local turtle in the field, and there is nothing comparable. .

Looking at Zhu Qian's surprised expression, Wang Chengen knew very well that his master must have saved too much, and he felt unreal, so he hurriedly said: "Master, people in Jiangnan have been rich since ancient times, and it's rare to spend a lifetime like this." , It is estimated that we also ran into it!"

"These lords are wrong. The Li family's Longsheng business house invites once a month, and once every three months. After this feast, let alone 10 taels of silver, I'm afraid there will be [-] taels of silver. Yes, although it costs less than [-] taels of silver for one meal a month, only a few people can eat those, and the little ones don’t have that kind of food. I heard from a relative who works in Li’s family that they are all delicacies from mountains and seas. There are rumors that even dragon meat was caught." A faceless man turned around and interjected.

Wang Chengen was still about to speak, but Zhu Gan interrupted with a wave of his hand. He became more and more determined in his heart about what he wanted to do. Only when the wealth was redistributed again, could this country, which was rotten from the bottom of it, be revived again and stand tall in the forest of the world. without falling.

With a calm face, he picked up a chopstick and said, "Eat them all! You've been suffocated for the past few days on the boat anyway, so come and try something new."

"The generals who worked hard to suppress bandits in the Northwest, lived in the wind, slept in the open, sucked ashes and swallowed sand, and suffered so much. Seeing such a scene, I don't know how they would feel." Zhu Gan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, feeling full of displeasure. As the saying goes, one can become a master through suffering, and the current hardship is for future enjoyment. The Manchus stole most of the dishes from the Han family, but they added a few Manchu dishes, so they dared to call it a full banquet of the Manchus. Make a gluttonous feast that is more gimmick than the Manchu Banquet.

While eating with no image, while thinking deeply in my heart, it is called stir-fried black fungus, which seems too vulgar, and it is called Minghan Feast.

"Go and see! The eldest lady of the Li family is about to show up. I heard that the Li family is in an all-out battle with the Huang family. Everyone wants to win the top spot. I don't know what kind of shocking program the Li family has prepared. If it is still flying Wu, then the status of the Li family is likely to be hanging."

Before the crowd had eaten half, they heard someone yelling, and many locals put down their chopsticks and rushed towards the long street. Not far from there was a small lake, which was also the most prosperous place for fireworks in Xuzhou. Open and clear at a glance.

On the stage set up by the Li family, a big play was being sung. Although it was very exciting, it was obvious that the hearts of the people were no longer here.

Zhu Qian pulled someone over and asked, "What exactly are the Li family and the Huang family fighting for? It's so laborious."

The man squinted at Zhu Qian, but seeing Zhu Qian's outstanding appearance and full of heroic spirit, at this moment, he was not ashamed to ask, humbly asking for advice, which made the man weak and heartbroken, and he didn't want to deal with it, so he immediately coughed twice The voice, as if an insider revealed the top secret: "Recently, the royal family in the capital has started to do business. Who else in this world can compete with the royal family for profit, so the sages have said it since ancient times. A gentleman pursues righteousness, and a villain pursues profit. Competing with the people for profit, as the saying goes, the court has supported scholars for 300 years. At this critical juncture of the country, of course the scholar-bureaucrats have to stand up and have a good theory with His Majesty the Emperor. The people below do something to show those villains who are chasing power and fame and fortune, what happens when they compete with the people for profit, so we nominate a few leaders."

Hearing these words, Zhu Qian had no joy or worry on his face, and he could not blame the ignorance of these people, after all, the emperor was high above, what he did, the people didn't know, and couldn't know.However, these scholar-bureaucrats are closely related to them, and many of them have even changed from free peasants to household slave tenants of the scholar-bureaucrats, and they only know these things that the scholar-bureaucrats instilled in them.

"Don't you feel very boring!" A young man next to him with a strange spirit in his eyebrows suddenly interjected.

Zhu Gan turned around and glanced at him, and saw that he was extremely handsome, and his skin was as white as mutton fat warm jade, he could pinch water, and it also made people want to pinch. Small and exquisite, her pair of peach blossom eyes are extremely bright, just like a ray of sunshine in that winter, warm enough to penetrate her heart.

Such an outstanding appearance made Zhu Gan take a few more glances. Compared with the ordinary linen clothes in blue clothes, instead of lowering his temperament, it made him have a desire to be close to others.

Being stared at by Zhu Gan so directly and unabashedly, the young man in blue was not at all annoyed, instead he giggled twice, stood beside Zhu Gan, and pointed to the distance.

Zhu Gan turned his head just enough to see his neck, where the skin was even whiter, like milk soaking repeatedly, Zhu Gan was moved in his heart, and quickly suppressed that weird desire, and warned himself that this kind of hobby can last forever. Do not get infected.

How could a big man be so delicate? Could it be that he is a Xibei guy? I took a look at his earlobe and found a small ear hole. I was relieved. I am a pure man after all. Follow what he pointed at. Looking around, suddenly a person jumped onto the stage and stabbed the Zhizhou of Xuzhou who was sitting beside him with a sword.

The scene was chaotic, and the man jumped off the stage taking advantage of the chaos, and fled nimbly like a fish among the crowd, heading towards their direction.

Is this the ancient knight?Killing a person in ten steps, not staying for a thousand miles, brushing off his clothes when the matter is over, hiding merit and fame deeply, this kind of pride and artistic conception, it is estimated that only the poet Taibai can write.

Turning around, he asked with a smile, "Did you already know?"

But seeing the girl from Xibaibu Store opened her mouth wide in surprise, her mouth was unusually rosy and attractive, and her crystal-clear earballs turned red all of a sudden. Hearing Zhu Gan's question, she turned her head to look at her in a daze. Glancing at Zhu Gan, the hazy peach blossom eyes are full of ignorance, this cute and cute girl.

Zhu Qian looked at the two dimples on her face, that ignorant expression was so sweet that it made people tired, he was a virgin in his previous life, he couldn't hold it back, it was a shame to lose it.
