Compete for the Song Dynasty

Then Cai Xiang was in trouble. He had just been transferred to the capital, and Yingzong had always misunderstood him. When Renzong was ill, he opposed making Yingzong the prince. If not for this, Cai Xiang should have been transferred to Beijing long ago.Now that he is participating in the impeachment of Qin Minzhi, it doesn't matter that Yingzong is jealous of what happened back then. If Qin Minzhi, a villain like Qin Minzhi, is not dealt with severely because of this, I'm afraid this kid will do bad things in the future.

"Junmo, I think you are someone who can solve this matter. He is the one who caused the trouble. He must not just want Kaifeng Mansion and the Third Division to investigate this matter." This day is finally over, and the sky is fast. It's dark, Li Shen said with a smile.

Cai Xiang bid farewell to Li Shen and returned to the mansion, thinking about what Li Shen said and the busy affairs of the day, the family held up the lights, and Cai Xiang ordered: "Come here, prepare a banquet, and invite the king of Meyer's mansion to pass by." Let me tell you about it."

Wang Pang was also very busy that day. In the early morning, he sent people to release ants outside the walls of the Kaifeng mansion. After the ants climbed up the words written with honey on the outside of the wall, and the handwriting was basically formed, he asked the people from the mansion to spread the news on the street, attracting people to panic. to watch.As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The news spreads quickly in the market, not to mention that it is related to the heating of the people. After a while, the front of the Kaifeng mansion is already blocked.

Wang Pang is currently in Jinxiu Building, which is closer to Fengfu. A fire is lit in a single room on the second floor of Jinxiu Building, and Wang Pang orders to burn a pot of hot tea. [

Wang Pang will be here today, directing and trying dishes.Directing is naturally a matter of directing ants to type, and tasting dishes is naturally trying new dishes that Jinxiu Building attracts customers.

The single room on the second floor was bustling with activity. Zhe Kejun, Zhang Ping, and Han Derong walked in one after another.While everyone was talking, Xiao Wazhuang came in: "My lord, everything is done, the gate of Kaifeng Mansion is very lively."

"What does the reader say?" Wang Pang asked while drinking tea.

"Believe it or doubt it, but I told them to go to the north of the city to have a look. Sure enough, they went a lot!"

Wa Zhuang sat down with Wang Pang's fingers. Cui Fu, the shopkeeper, came over and poured tea for Wa Zhuang. Seeing that Wa Zhuang was unfamiliar, Cui Fu asked Wang Pang: "My lord, you have another helper. This lord's face Sheng, it’s easy to talk in the market. If you send that kid Cai Jing to make a noise, probably many people in the capital will know that our house is responsible for the trick.”

Zhang Ping said: "Treasurer Cui, what do you mean by making troubles? We are doing things for the Kaifeng government, and we are doing good things."

Wang Pang laughed, even if everyone knew that the Meyer House did it, Wang Pang was not afraid: "Yes! We are doing good deeds without leaving names!"

Cui Fu smiled and poured tea for Wang Pang: "Young master, all the materials you need to prepare are ready, what do you want to do, tell me, I will start the kitchen."

"Let it go, don't do anything, let's eat raw today!" Wang Pang winked at Cui Fu.

Cui Fu was puzzled, looked back at Zhe Kejun and said with pouted lips: "I said I can't go to the Liao Kingdom, do the Khitan and Hu people eat raw food? It's over, son, you want me, an old man, to try the dishes together. I can't digest it!"

Seeing Cui Fu's embarrassing look, Wang Pang laughed: "You can't try it, you go and follow the recipe I gave you, prepare some sesame paste, wash it with bone broth, put some leek flower fermented bean curd in it, add some salt, and add some salt. Prepare a fried chili oil."

"It's all ready, son! No matter how delicious your ingredients are, I, an old man, can't digest that raw meat!" Cui Fu said, carrying the pot out to refill the water, still muttering.As soon as Cui Fu went downstairs, Lu Shenyan came back, and greeted him with a cart of carbon: "Shopkeeper Cui, ask the waiter to pick it up and put it in the backyard."

Cui Fu responded and called the assistant to do it: "Young Master is on the second floor!" He pointed upstairs.

Lu Shenyan went up to the second floor and opened the door, and a scent of tea came to his nostrils with hot air. Seeing Wang Pang sitting there with a relaxed expression and a smile on his face, Lu Shenyan's mood became much brighter: "My lord, I'm back, and I made a mess again." A car of carbon, I went to the places where I can purchase it in the capital and surrounding areas.”

Wang Pang greeted: "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Lu, sit down and drink some hot tea!"

Lu Shenyan took off his cloak and sat down and said, "It's really cold today. How did you sing today, my lord? Brothers are all here? Do you know? There are many people at the gate of Kaifeng mansion. I heard that there is an official private The coal was deducted, and someone reported it for trying to increase the price for profit. I saw a lot of people heading towards the outside of Weizhou City along the way.”

Zhang Ping smiled and said: "We all know, but you don't know, when you were not at the mansion yesterday, and the young master didn't come back, was there such a fun thing in Kaifeng mansion?"

"Hmph, I just guessed it, it's probably our young master's good deed." Lu Shenyan sipped his hot tea and said with curled lips.

Wang Pang smiled: "You can guess it, and so can Li Zhifu and Cai Xueshi." [

Lu Shenyan knew that he couldn't stay idle, "You will find something for yourself as soon as you come back."

Wang Pang knew that Lu Shenyan was concerned about himself, so he said, "No one can fool the people. If Jinxiang Mansion has never sold coal, I will not get involved in this matter. The people have relied on coal for a few years, and there is nothing wrong with it." I’m definitely in charge of preparing firewood for the winter. Don’t worry, not only will it be fine, but someone will ask me to take care of it.”

"That's a good point! We only care about the righteousness of the young master." Han Derong said with his thumb up, and everyone also echoed.

Wang Pang and others chatted for a while in Jinxiu Tower, and Cai Jing and Jiao Deyou also came back one after another. It was already past noon, and Jiao Deyou brought a letter saying that he heard that Xueshi Cai had gone to Kaifeng Mansion. Kaifeng Mansion first closed the coal yard, and then posted The announcement was made that the coal yard outside Weizhou Gate began to sell coal to the common people.

"Come on, replace wine with tea and celebrate!" Wang Pang raised his glass to everyone.Everyone laughed and drank the tea, Cui Fu hurriedly added water: "My lord, you don't pay attention to things, even eating raw is better than starving. I'm still waiting to see how you eat it , this is the new signature dish of our Jinxiu Building in the future."

"This old shopkeeper, see if you are in a hurry. I think Wu Ling will be back in a while. We can have dinner as soon as he comes." Wang Pang smiled and comforted the old shopkeeper.

Cai Jing also laughed at Cui Fu and said, "Old shopkeeper, what's wrong with you today? I haven't seen you so restless before?"

Cui Fu sneered: "Actually, since someone found out that you have returned to the capital these days, some old customers have been asking if you have any new dishes, and I will keep it secret. Yesterday, you asked me to prepare something, so I thought about it." The young master must have new tricks, and there are people who eat and ask, what new dishes does your prince have? Didn’t you see that there are still people poking around today? They are spies sent by other restaurants. When they ask, I say, Eating raw... that's what I said, but I'm really afraid that I won't be able to digest raw food, hehe"

Everyone laughed at what Cui Fu said, and Wu Ling came while they were laughing. Wang Pang ordered Wu Ling to put the copper pot in the middle of the table. The innermost part of the pot was lit with charcoal. The soup made from chicken bones was pure white and smelled fragrant after being heated by charcoal. Wang Pang asked Xiaoer to serve each person a bowl of hot soup, indicating that everyone should drink the soup first to warm their stomachs.

After eating the hot soup, Cai Jing said: "Young master, it's better if you don't drink this soup, but this drink will make the gluttons arouse." Everyone laughed again.

Wang Pang said: "Okay, let's have fun!"

"Fun?" Everyone looked at Wang Pang in surprise, they really didn't understand what it meant.

Wang Pang told Cui Fu: "Shopkeeper Cui, all the boys are here."

"Okay" Cui Fu hurriedly called Xiao Er to put the seasonings prepared in advance in front of everyone, and put the hand-cut fresh lamb leg slices on the table. The chef of Jinxiulou was good at knives, and the whole lamb leg meat was placed outside in advance Frozen [-]% to [-]% hard, and then cut each piece of meat lightly and thinly, and put it in the boiling hot soup to cook immediately.

Wang Pang picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, rinsed it in the pot, dipped it in a bowl, and put it in his mouth.The long-lost taste is simply coaxed in Xixia. This is the real shabu-shabu. The meat is good, the soup is good, and the ingredients are fragrant.Take a sip and leave your lips and teeth fragrant.In addition, the room has carbon, fire and soup heat, it is simply enjoyment.

Everyone looked at Wang Pang with good eyes, Wang Pang nodded with a satisfied expression, and pointed to the pot: "Come, let's try it together." Everyone imitated his example, and hurriedly boiled the meat in the pot .

Some of them are not familiar with how to use them. When a piece of meat falls into the pot, it is picked up by others, and the chopsticks are fighting in the pot.After eating it, he said repeatedly: "Huhu, it's so delicious!"

The old shopkeeper Cui Fu also tried a sip, and he smiled and said: "Not bad, sir, are the ingredients the same?" Seeing Wang Pang nodding, Cui Fu put in a piece of tofu and said, "I have bad teeth, eat soft ones." After a while, I picked up the tofu and dipped it in my mouth.

"Huh, huh, huh~~~" The tofu absorbs heat and is not easy to dissipate. Cui Fuguang, who was hot in his mouth, was left to breathe out.

"Old shopkeeper, you really don't know, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! Hahaha" Wang Pang said, and everyone laughed when they remembered Cui Fu was in a hurry to try the dishes just now.

Xiaoer brought up the dishes one after another, sliced ​​mutton, sliced ​​beef, tofu, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, in short, Wang Pang prepared a portion of everything that Wang Pang could think of in the Song Dynasty, "This is good! This is good, the more Eat warmer!" Cui Fu said while eating.

Everyone ate with great joy.In the end, each cooked some hand-rolled miscellaneous noodles, and then put down the bowl, each of them ate with red faces. [

The most exaggerated one is Cai Jing, this is a foodie and a crazy person who goes out. This gluttonous boy was famous for his bloating when he was in his hometown, but the Nine Immortals Tea in his hometown cured his long-lasting strange stomach bloating disease, so This kid is always ready.Today's Cai Jing ate a full belly.

Lu Shenyan patted Cai Jing's stomach jokingly and said, "Yuan Chang's Nine Immortals Tea came in handy again today."

Everyone at the table laughed, and the old shopkeeper asked, "My lord, what is the name of this we eat? How do we play this sign?"

Cai Jing said with a full belch, "It's really fun to eat the mutton!"

The crowd laughed and said, "Young Master, you are talking about washing the mutton! You are really fed up!"

Wang Pang also laughed: "It's a good start for us to reopen the old store. The old shopkeeper will be at the end of the year, so let's just call it Xiyangyang Hot Pot!"

"Joyful hot pot?! Good, good!" Cui Fu smiled from ear to ear.

Everyone talked and laughed and returned to Mayer's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, a servant greeted them: "Young Master, Xueshi Cai sent an invitation just now. Please come to the mansion for a while."

Wang Pang changed his clothes and ordered Cai Jing to bring a jar of good wine to Cai Xiang's mansion.
