Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 259 Distant Friendship and Close Attack ([-])

The pedestrian street is full of goods, and all kinds of food exude attractive aromas, and the wine girls in the restaurants enthusiastically shout the promotional slogan of big rewards for the opening and [-]% off for cards.

Although Huang Zongxi didn't finish his job, he still had a lot of money in his pocket. After all, he had a shallow face, so he couldn't keep it accountable when he invited people to dinner.

It was already noon at this time, and when Huang Zongxi was about to go to a restaurant that had just opened for a drink, an enthusiastic voice came over.

"Isn't this Brother Taichong? What a coincidence, what a coincidence, I met Brother Taichong!"

Huang Zongxi turned his head and saw that it was Xinshun's envoy Tan Hong who was talking to him.

For Xinshun, Huang Zongxi is very hostile, after all, the world is now in such a state that he has made great achievements in breaking the thief.Xinshun inherited the mantle of thieves, so naturally it is not a good thing.It's just that as an envoy, he still has to live with his face.So although Huang Zongxi's complexion was not good, he still cupped his hands and said.

"Oh, what a coincidence, brother Tan is also here to hang out!"

Hearing Huang Zongxi's displeasure, Tan Hong calmly replaced Brother Taichong with Brother Huang.

"Yeah, the gate of the security team is difficult to enter, so I can only come here to look for opportunities. It's time for lunch, Brother Huang, have you had lunch yet?"

"Not yet..." As soon as Huang Zongxi finished speaking, Tan Hong became enthusiastic.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother has recently invested in a restaurant, and I asked Brother Huang to have a drink or two. Well, not far away, it is the Shunda Restaurant next to you."

…………

The hospitality was hard to come by, Huang Zongxi was still dragged into the Shunda Restaurant by Tan Hong.

Huang Zongxi once passed by this restaurant, which used to be called Daxing Restaurant, but Tan Hong took it over unexpectedly.After entering the door, Huang Zongxi looked around, and saw that the bar, wine cabinet, tables, chairs and benches were all available, and the decoration layout also conformed to the style of the security team.After entering the second floor, there are private rooms, which are obviously used by wealthy people.Huang Zongxi was very curious about Tan Hong taking over the restaurant.so he asked.

"Brother Tan, this restaurant has spent a lot of money!"

"Of course, it cost me 3 taels of silver!"

"What? 3 taels?" Huang Zongxi became excited. His one-year activity funds are not yet 3 taels!This restaurant cost so much?This restaurant does not exceed [-] square meters at all costs!Oh, this is the new measurement unit of the security regiment, three feet is one meter.Now that he has stayed in Jinling City for a long time, Huang Zongxi has also learned these units of measurement.

After giving the menu to Huang Zongxi, Tan Hong drank a cup of tea before sighing.

"Yeah, 3 taels is really expensive. Last year when the shop owner took over, he only spent 1 taels in total. Later, he needed 2 taels and sold it to the Department of Commerce of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the Department of Commerce sold it for 3 taels." It was sold to me, and it cost an extra 1 taels for no reason. The money came in really fast!"

"Then why are you still buying it?" Huang Zongxi finally couldn't help but cried out.

Hearing Huang Zongxi's words, Tan Hong burst out laughing.

"Because this restaurant comes with money! Invest 3 taels, and you can earn it back in a few years. Recently, the restaurant can get a [-]% discount on the card. If you recharge ten taels, you can automatically become an ordinary member. Now, hundreds of people have recharged. Huang Brother, do you want to apply for a card?" Having said this, Tan Hong looked at Huang Zongxi with eager eyes.This Huang Zongxi often treats guests, if he is tied to his own restaurant, he will be a big customer!
Being taken aback by Tan Hong, Huang Zongxi asked suspiciously.

"Is it because you made money that you invested all your activities? Are you not afraid that your subordinates will report to Hubei?"

These envoys in Jinling all have subordinate assistants and assistants, and many of these people are spies who monitor the envoys.Therefore, even if the envoy admires other forces, he dare not violate the general direction of the general policy.And this misappropriation of funds is even more taboo, which makes Huang Zongxi very surprised.

"Hehe, Brother Huang is overthinking. My Tan family is a gentry, and the family has countless assets. I paid this money out of my own pocket, and I didn't use the funds at all. I don't know what Brother Huang is thinking? If you are not satisfied with the 3% discount, then If you recharge a hundred taels, you can enjoy [-]% off the senior member treatment, and if you recharge a thousand taels, you can enjoy a [-]% discount on the VIP treatment!" Tan Hong said vigorously.It seems that he was under a lot of pressure to spend [-] taels at a time, and he urgently needed the support of Huang Zongxi, a big customer.

Huang Zongxi was dumbfounded when he saw that the Xinshun envoy seemed to have become a rich businessman.I belong to King Lu's faction, but the other party is from Xinshun faction, how can I invite distinguished guests to dine in their restaurant?Didn't all the secrets leak out?So this matter is absolutely impossible, and this is why Tan Hongli has forgotten this stubble because of his desire.It's just that Tan Hong is so enthusiastic right now, it would be embarrassing if he directly refused.Therefore, Huang Zongxi had no choice but to speak vaguely.

"Well, this is not a trivial matter. I will discuss it with my deputy envoy later."

Seeing hope, Tan Hong suddenly became excited, and he quickly said with a smile.

"Brother Huang, come to my little brother's restaurant to try the dishes today. You have to try it. Well, this restaurant's special Maoxuewang is very good. It uses chili, which is very spicy. And this dry pot Chiba dish is also good. , the fried steak is also very tender, and the fish head tofu in Shijiu Lake is even more delicious.”

Because Qiu Tianxing liked spicy food in his previous life, he had no conditions before, but now that he has the conditions to win Jinling, the chili peppers naturally became popular under his leadership.Recently, these major restaurants have also launched spicy dishes one after another to cater to those cadres in the security regiment government who have good things to do.

Listening to Tan Hong reading the menu, Huang Zongxi, who only drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, was tempted by all the gluttons, and his stomach started to growl.So a sumptuous banquet was set up logically.

Huang Zongxi and Tan Hong enjoyed this table, and no one was invited to accompany them.Huang Zongxi also ate very refreshingly. Although it was very spicy, he didn't feel any discomfort after placing ice cubes in the room to dissipate heat.And drinking iced watermelon juice is even more refreshing.

Under Tan Hong's persuasive temptation, Huang Zongxi repeatedly stated that as long as he went back and discussed with the deputy envoy, he would definitely be at the Shunda Restaurant.From now on, this Shunda restaurant will be the designated restaurant for banquets and errands.Hearing this, Tan Hong was overjoyed, and toasted Huang Zongxi again and again. Huang Zongxi would not refuse anyone who came, and his previous melancholy mood disappeared.

Unknowingly, both of them forgot their identities and their purpose of staying in Jinling City.They seem to have integrated into Jinling City and the culture of the security regiment unconsciously.
