Lin Yuan laughed helplessly when he heard this, and the young man became even angrier when he saw Lin Yuan laughing. He kicked the table and said angrily, "You are still laughing, you are a traitor!"

Lin Yuan laughed even happier when he heard this, and said, "When I killed the little devil and the old man, you were probably not as high as the table, yet you actually called me a traitor."

The young man said angrily: "If you don't help the Han people, what is it if you are not a traitor?"

Lin Yuan sighed softly and asked, "What do you do?"

The young man asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Yuan said, "Looking at your appearance, you must be an apprentice, right?"

The young man said: "That's right, I learned how to cook from the master chef in Fengminglou"

Lin Yuan asked, "Then do you know how to read?"

The young man blushed, and said, "I don't know much. I have attended literacy classes, and I can almost pass it after reading "Feng Shen Bang."

Lin Yuan nodded and smiled, "That's all." Lin Yuan turned to the officer and said, "Go and find some bannermen."

The officer smiled and said, "Coincidentally, Lin Shuai, the shopkeeper of this restaurant is Bannerman."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, call him here." Soon the shopkeeper came in, the young man heard that the shopkeeper was a bannerman, and glared at him fiercely. The shopkeeper didn't know why the young man stared at him , with a dazed look on his face, Lin Yuan pointed to the chair beside him with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper, please sit down."

The young man asked, "The traitor Lin Yuan, why did you call him here?"

Lin Yuan said to the young man: "I'm going to ask the old shopkeeper some questions now, please listen carefully." Then he turned to ask the old shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, do you know how to read and write?"

The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "Shuai Lin was joking. As shopkeepers, we have to reimburse the boss from time to time. How can we reimburse the boss if we don't know how to read?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Then do you use Chinese or Manchu when reporting the accounts?"

The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "Of course it is Chinese. It is troublesome to write Manchu. I only remember a few words and almost forget the rest. Moreover, Manchu has only been created for more than 300 years, unlike Chinese, which has been thousands of years. There are many books left behind, so the scholars among the banner people also like to read Chinese."

Lin Yuan then asked: "Old shopkeeper, what do you usually eat?"

The old shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's all home-cooked food, rice and steamed buns. Eat some good ones during the festival."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Then what festival do you celebrate every year? What do you eat during the festival?"

The old shopkeeper replied: "The biggest ones are Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, February [-], Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, dumplings, Yuanxiao, and zongzi mooncakes are all eaten at this time."

Lin Yuan smiled and said to the young man: "I ask you, do you speak Chinese? Do you write in Chinese? Do you usually eat rice and steamed buns? Do you also celebrate the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival? Bannermen and us Is there any difference? If it is the same, why do you fight and kill?"

The young man was speechless for a while, and Lin Yuan then asked: "Didn't you learn to cook in Fengxiang Tower? Then let me ask you, can you cook blood sausage and roast white meat?"

The young man said: "The master hasn't taught it yet."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "That dish was passed down by the Bannerman. Can the Eight Great Pieces be made? The Saqima in it is also from the Bannerman. Can you see the difference between you and the Bannerman?"

The young man thought for a long time before saying, "But they still killed our people? I want to avenge them."

Lin Yuan said: "It has been more than 200 years. If you still remember this enemy, there will be no one in the world who is not an enemy. Besides, is it only the banner people who killed the Han people? Could it be that the Ming army did not have it in the Northeast?" Have you killed any Manchu people?"

The young man was speechless, and Lin Yuan continued, "Think about it again, now you have killed all the bannermen in the whole country, who is the happiest?"

The young man shook his head, and Lin Yuan said again: "There are not only bannermen in Beijing, but also all over the country. You killed all the bannermen in Beijing. Can the bannermen in other places not kill you when they hear about it? If you killed the banner people, what about other ethnic groups? Hui, Tibetan, and the Miao, Yao, Yi and Zhuang ethnic groups in the southwest. These ethnic groups have fought with the Han in history. If we follow you, let’s fight with these ethnic groups. It's a miasma and chaos! The Orientals and Westerners are the happiest, they think they can invade China again."

"Back when the British and French invaded Beijing, how many men were killed and how many women were ruined, were all the people they killed were Han Chinese? Were they all banner people? So you said you beat and killed like this, but You are helping the foreign devils, you are the real traitors!"

The young man bowed his head because of Lin Yuan's words, Lin Yuan turned his head and said to the old shopkeeper: "Old shopkeeper, please go down first." The old shopkeeper took his leave, and Lin Yuan continued: "Call the leader among the bannermen. "

Not long after, a burly man came in. When the young man saw the man, he stood up and called out in surprise, "Cousin? Why are you?"

The burly man walked a few steps closer to the young man, saw his bruised nose and swollen face, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The young man turned his head in embarrassment, Lin Yuan gave a "puchi" smile, and said, "It's good for you, your family beat your own family, you two, tell me your name."

The young man said: "My name is Zhang Ming, and his name is Jin Qiang. My father and his mother are brothers and sisters."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Sit down and tell me what's going on, why did you start the fight?"

Jin Qiang frowned and said to Lin Yuan: "Shuai Lin, you bully our banner people too much! How can we swallow this tone?"

Lin Yuan asked, "Where did I bully the Bannerman?"

Jin Qiang blushed, hesitated for a moment, Lin Yuan was very strange, and asked: "If you have something to say, you can just say it, why are you hesitating?"

Jin Qiang said: "You occupied the Forbidden City, but you got rid of all the maids inside. Most of those court ladies are from our bannermen. You let the Han people randomly pick them home to be slaves, just like picking animals. What is it if you don’t bully us bannermen?”

As soon as Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately asked: "How can I have someone pick them home to be slaves? It doesn't make sense like picking animals!"

Jin Qiang said angrily: "You still deny it, we all know that in Jingshan today, you got all the maids there, and let your officers choose at will. Is this a fake thing?"

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "So you're talking about the blind date meeting in Jingshan! It's not that the maid asked our people to choose, but the two sides choose each other. If they like each other, they can develop further, understand?"

Jin Qiang asked: "What is further development?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "If both parties feel suitable, they can get married, understand?"

Jin Qiang said angrily: "Marriage? Don't you need your parents' order and matchmaker's words to get married?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "Of course you don't need it, that's fine, you don't believe it now, how about it, Jingshan's blind date is not over yet, you can go and see it if you want."

Jin Qiang agreed hesitantly, Lin Yuan said: "Then you go back, and talk to your people about these things." The two stood up and walked out, but Lin Yuan suddenly thought: "No, these two people look like They are all just apprentices, how can they have such great ability and recruit hundreds of people?"
