Ma Xing Street and Yu Street intersect east and west. There are many inns and restaurants on the street for businessmen to rest and have a meal. In troubled times, all industries are depressed and most businesses are not doing well. However, the newly opened Changle Building at the intersection is an exception, although it is not very lively.

It's prosperous, but there are always customers when it's time to eat, just because the dishes here are unique.

Some people say it's delicious, others say it's greasy. No matter what, it's always something new. A man with a broken leg sits in front of the door to greet guests. As long as someone comes, he will greet him with a smile, and then a waiter will run over and greet guests.

Guests come in and sit down.

Although the restaurant is not big, there are quite a few waiters and waiters. Even though there are usually only seven or eight, several will be replaced every now and then. If you don't come every day, you won't even know anyone who looks familiar to you.

Some of the waiters are burly and muscular. When they see passers-by on the street, they burst into laughter and say, "Haha...here we come!" Don't talk to them. If they open their mouths, they will pull you in. They won't come out without ordering two dishes.

There is also a guy who is so dry and skinny that if you don’t look carefully you might think he is a monkey. He is also very wretched. Hearing him say something in a high-pitched voice, those who didn’t know better thought he was a eunuch from the palace. Especially when meeting that guy.

He is so pockmarked that he will scare someone to death when he opens his mouth.

Don't think that you'll be fine just by sitting down. Make sure you look carefully to see if the person serving the food is a stupid guy. If he has a greasy mouth, he must be stealing your food.

When checking out, be sure to find a young shopkeeper, because he can calculate the accounts clearly and will often give you one or two copper coins cheaper. If you meet him and you are in a good mood, he will also give you a free meal coupon, as long as it does not exceed

No money will be charged for twenty coins.

If you see a silly piggy looking at you pitifully, remember not to feed it, otherwise the shopkeeper will definitely get angry at you.

The little bit of wealth I finally saved was robbed by that damn military academy. In the summer, I borrowed ten thousand yuan from Lao Zhang to start the popsicle business again. However, after three months, everyone’s wages were removed. Lao Zhang’s

There was not much interest left, and it was only because the court was too harsh that many rich people became paupers.

You can’t just sit back and rest on your laurels, and it’s hard to come up with ideas that are too eye-catching. You can still keep running the traditional catering business by doing some tricks. Stir-fried vegetables are still new in this era where steaming, roasting, and frying are the main cooking methods.

At least it can attract a group of diners.

What Xu Xian didn't expect was that the most popular food was stinky tofu. As for why he made it, it was because the ancestral craft of selling stinky tofu was passed down from generation to generation. Customers who came to the store would have to ask for two orders whether they wanted to eat stir-fried vegetables or not.

Skewers, try this stinky tofu that smells bad but tastes delicious.

Jiubao came out of the kitchen with a plate, secretly pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Xu Xian reached out and poked him, "Wipe your mouth clean, don't let the guests see it. By the way, you and Liu

Auntie said it was shredded pork, not chunks of meat." With such employees, it is not easy for Xu Xian to make a lot of money.

Jiubao swallowed the meat and said, "Aunt Liu cut it finely enough. She used to stew a pork leg and only cut it into three pieces. Don't worry about me anymore. Your Gillian little lady is here to see you again. What's the matter?

Why don't you go say hello quickly?"

Looking up at the store door, he saw a chubby little girl talking to Lao Zhang. Xu Xian suddenly felt that one was as big as the other. There weren't many chubby girls these days, and the big guys couldn't eat enough, let alone over-nutrition.

However, this young lady has the capital to be a fat girl. The huge silver building across the street belongs to her family. There are more than one such silver building in Kaifeng. It is said that there is a branch in Luoyang. I even recognized the right hand of Feng Guojun.

The commander of Xiangdu is the godfather.

It may be that Shi Jingtang got off to a bad start. There is a strong trend of recognizing godfathers these days, but there is no need to take it too seriously. It is purely a matter of interest. Those powerful people would be too embarrassed to go out if they don't have many godsons.

The fat girl is considered rich and powerful, but she doesn't have the temper of a rich lady. The key is to be generous with her actions. When she patronizes Changle House, she always makes money. With such a group of guys and chefs, Changle House is still making a profit.

This charming little lady has done a lot of good work.

What is annoying is that this young lady always looks shy when facing Xu Xian. Even a fool can tell that she is teasing Xu Xian...

Such a wealthy and influential daughter threw herself into the arms of Xu Xian. His friends were extremely envious of Xu Xian, and they often used it to make fun of him.

But Xu Xian couldn't eat this piece of fat that was delivered to her door. It wasn't because she was fat, but mainly because she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Although she was old enough to talk about marriage, in Xu Xian's eyes she was just a primary school student.

I feel so embarrassed and embarrassed.

Seeing her coming again, Xu Xian was about to get out of the way when he heard Lao Zhang say: "Brother Xian, Miss Gillian is here, why don't you hurry up and pick up the guests!"

Lao Zhang had a mean smile on his face, resembling that of a brothel madam. Xu Xian had no choice but to step forward and smile, greeting: "The young lady is here again. Jiubao quickly led the young lady to the private room upstairs. Let's do three things first."

For ten skewers of stinky tofu, remember to give me a plate of dense cornel sauce."

Gillian came over with a frown on her face and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, please don't let Jiubao work. I'm not here to eat today. I have something for you."

She said and handed over a handkerchief, "I made this handkerchief myself, and I also embroidered the mandarin ducks on it."

God! Even if this is a fucking confession, Xu Xian really wanted to chop off the hand holding the handkerchief. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his waist. A fat hand had already grabbed the jade pendant that Guo Wei gave to Ah Bao. Gillian

She said shyly: "This is just a return gift!"

"No! I can't give this to you!" Xu Xian quickly grabbed the jade pendant, "How about I give you a bunch of stinky tofu."

"Oh, you still touch other people's hands! You are so mean!"

Seeing the shy look on Gillian's face as she walked away, and half of the guests in the room smiling but not smiling, Xu Xian really wanted to kill him with a piece of stinky tofu...

It was already winter, and New Year's Day was coming soon. Local tributes had been delivered, and boxes after boxes occupied half of the back hall. The eunuch opened them one by one for Liu Chengyou, and saw that there were gold, silver, pearls, and jade in them.

Silk, cloth, mink, deer antler, all kinds of colors.

Liu Chengyou got up from the soft couch, stretched out his pale hands to roast in the fire pit, and grabbed the cold pearls from a small wooden box, "Are these beads sent from Jiaozhou? Why are they not as good as those in previous years, and the quantity is not as good as before?"

many."

Xuan Hui, who was in charge of palace affairs, lowered his head and said, "This humble minister doesn't know. It was like this when it was delivered. It's probably because of a bad year this year."

"I don't care, I will immediately send a message to Jiaozhou that next year will be the Queen Mother's 50th birthday. I must get ten beads the size of egg yolks to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."

Xuan Hui made a look of embarrassment, "Beads like this are hard to come by. It's probably not easy to get ten of them."

Li Ye scolded: "The Queen Mother is the mother of the country. She only celebrates her birthday once every ten years. She can't even get ten decent beads. If you can't do your best, let me be the envoy to announce the emblem."

Suddenly a person came through the back door. It was Guo Yunming, the Hanlin tea and wine envoy and the saddle and bridle warehouse envoy who often played with the emperor. After paying homage to Liu Chengyou, he looked at the Xuanhui envoy and sneered: "I'm afraid my uncle has misunderstood Chen Yuan." Commander, he is very dedicated in his work, but it is a pity that he is not dedicated to His Majesty!"

Liu Chengyou asked: "What do you mean by this?"

Guo Yunming took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Chengyou. It turned out that on the surface he was the tea and wine envoy and the saddle and bridle warehouse envoy, but in fact he was Liu Chengyou's spy chief. He had many informants secretly monitoring the civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China.

Liu Chengyou only glanced at him, and his pale and handsome face turned red. "Young man, Yang Bin, bullied me too much!" He raised his foot and kicked Xuan Hui envoy in all directions.

Li Ye didn't know why his nephew suddenly became so angry, and hurriedly asked: "What is going on, Your Majesty, and why are you so angry!"

"Xuanhuiyuan actually teamed up with Yang Bin Laogou to deceive me, and kept the good tributes away, leaving only rags to send me away!"

The envoy of Xuanhui leaned over and kowtowed: "Your Majesty has wronged a humble minister. The things were indeed sent by Yang Xiangguo, but he really didn't know that he was paying tribute!"

"Humph... Yang Bin usually gave me a lot of money to accuse others of bribing others, and also taught me to be frugal. Although I hated him for being authoritarian, I respected him in my heart. I didn't expect that behind his back, he was a male thief and a female prostitute... ..." The more Liu Chengyou spoke, the angrier he became. Veins bulged on his pale face. He picked up the box containing pearls and hit the ambassador's head hard.
