Kaifeng Bistro

Chen Qing didn't seem to want to leave yet, he sat for a while, Zhuo Zhuo couldn't help but sat down and chatted with him.From their conversation, Tan Zhifeng probably heard that the scholars in the Song Dynasty were under a lot of pressure. The original Guozijian only accepted children from good families. outside the door.Later, in order to support scholars, the Taixue was opened again. This time, it really spread higher education to the common people regardless of their background.

But to enter Taixue, one must pass the exam. Chen Qing told Zhuo Zhuo that he was studying in Guangwen Museum.Guangwen Museum is different from Guozijian and Taixue. It is probably like tutoring scholars and helping them to enter the cram schools in regular schools. Many people rush to enroll.

Judging by Chen Qing's clothes, his family background should be good, but I don't know why he lives in the shop in this alley, without even a book boy or servant by his side?

Tan Zhifeng saw that Zhuo Zhuo was chatting endlessly with Chen Qing, so he stood up, walked over and asked politely: "Mr. Chen, do you want to use anything else?"

"Ah... no, no need." Chen Qing seemed very restrained when facing Tan Zhifeng.He lowered his head and stood up slowly, and asked, "How much is it?" Then he looked at the room again: "From now on, can I, can I come here often?"

"Of course." Tan Zhifeng smiled at him, but pushed back the copper coin he handed over: "I told you just now, we are now called a trial operation, and this meal is just a common meal, so I can't charge you. Anyway, you Just live opposite, after the official opening, you can come to eat anytime in the future."

However, Chen Qing refused desperately: "No way! How can this be done!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the string of money to Yi Yi who was sitting by the counter, and Yi Yi subconsciously raised his hand to catch it.Chen Qing took the cotton robe in Zhuo Zhuo's hand and put it on, blushing and ran out in three steps and two steps.

"Hey! What are you doing? Throwing money at me?!" Yi Yi stood up, but saw that Chen Qing had already run away.Angrily, he threw the money to Tan Zhifeng, and continued to sit behind the counter flipping through some books.

As Chen Qing stepped out of the store, everything in the room gradually became dark, and soon returned to its original dirty, messy and oily appearance.

"I'm quitting." Yi Yi raised his head and said to Tan Zhifeng: "The shabby house you rented is not remodelable at all, you have to change the place, or you clean it yourself, I'm exhausted from arguing with Zhuo Zhuo every day I'm done, I still have to act with you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared. A pothos plant in the second pot by the wall shook its leaves slightly, facing the sun, swaying lazily, the green light dissipated, and the surroundings returned to the calmness just now.

"Passive sabotage!" Zhuo Zhuo stepped forward and kicked the flower pot: "Tan Zhifeng, when can you take care of him?"

"When I can manage you, I will take care of him by the way." Tan Zhifeng found a fairly clean place and sat down. The changes just now made him a little tired, and he needs to recover a little.To really turn this place into what he had imagined, they would have to work with real swords and guns, and none of them could keep the house tidy by relying on spiritual power alone.

Shangshang came over: "Brother Zhifeng, what do you want to do, I can help you."

Tan Zhifeng stood up and patted Changshang's head: "Come on, let's clean up the ground first."

In the evening, Tan Zhifeng was working hard at carpentry, when suddenly there was a burst of noisy footsteps and chatter and laughter at the door: "Zijin, this is the good place you mentioned? It's so small?" "You are a young master hiding in this alley What are you doing here?" "Tsk tsk, this door is broken..."

"Here we come! The guests are here!" For a moment there was commotion in the room, with red and green lights flashing randomly, but the moment the door opened, there was a bang of flames in the stove on the wall, and the room became once again. Bright and crisp.

"Hehehe, it turned out to be Mr. Chen, but I kept my family waiting for a long time..." Tan Zhifeng couldn't bear the scorching opening remarks, he coughed quickly, and signaled Yi Yi to go up and say hello.

"Throwing money at me, you still dare to come back?!" Yi Yi said, the scholars were even more startled, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tan Zhifeng had no choice but to step forward: "Several people, please sit inside."

"Why are there girls?" One of them looked at Zhuo Zhuo curiously, and said to Chen Qing with a smile, "Are you from Killing Pig Alley over there?"

"I'm not serving wine." Zhuo Zhuo changed into an inconspicuous dark red cloth jacket and a plain-coloured coarse cloth skirt, walked over with a cold face and said, "We don't sell wine here, how about some tea?"

"So it's Dr. Tea!" The rest of the people hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Then please make a pot of tea first."

Zhuo Zhuo rolled his eyes and walked in, Chen Qing asked from behind: "Where's shopkeeper Tan? What's for dinner?"

Zhuozhuo didn't turn his head back: "It depends on his mood. You can eat whatever he does. But we just opened, and there aren't many things, so the generals will make do with it."

"Young Master Chen owns three main restaurants in his house, all of them say it's delicious, you can't be wrong." Zhuo Zhuo swung his skirt and walked to the back kitchen, while the people outside were still discussing.Chen Qing's voice became a little unhappy: "Don't mention that."

Zhuo Zhuo ran to the back to see that Tan Zhifeng had already prepared the ground tea powder and several black-glazed teacups.He poured the freshly boiled hot water into the slender soup bottle, put it on the wooden tray, and told Zhuo Zhuo: "They are all friends brought by Chen Qing, treat them well."

Zhuo Zhuo took the wooden tray, Tan Zhifeng hesitated for a moment, and said: "If possible, ask about rare things around here."

The corner of Zhuo Zhuo's mouth twitched: "If you want me to inquire about the news for you, the salary will be doubled!"

Tan Zhifeng didn't speak, Zhuo Zhuo took his reaction as acquiescence.Several young and handsome scholars sat at a table, which put her in a good mood. Xian Xiansu held the soup bottle in her hand, and the hot water washed away the tea powder. The tea soup floated up, and a rich aroma unique to the best tea foam permeated the room.

Tan Zhifeng prepared the pre-dinner dessert in the back, and Changshang lowered his head to help him mix the dry noodles with cold water. Zhifeng rolled the dough and rolled it out, pressed it into a thin layer, smeared some oil on it, and began to mix the honey.

"What are you doing?" Chen Qing suddenly poked his head in again: "It smells really sweet."

Tan Zhifeng's hands were full of flour, and he said without turning his head: "The fireworks in the back are so fuzzy, Mr. Chen, go back and wait. This is called coir raincoat cake. Simply bake it and it will be ready soon."

Chen Qing was still leaning against that half of the wall: "Call me Zijin."

Seeing him standing there persistently, Tan Zhifeng didn't continue to drive him away, but rolled up the thin dough with oil and honey and cut it into small pieces, checked the fire in the nearby stove, and put the one A small piece of noodle was oiled and placed on the iron shelf one by one and put in.

Chen Qing stared at Tan Zhifeng in front of him with some curiosity. The light of the evening sun slanted through the small window on the wall and shone on Tan Zhifeng's fair and focused face. Cake, long eyelashes hanging down, casting a small shadow under the eyes.

Tan Qing's heart felt hot, and he felt the warmth again this morning when he opened the curtain and stepped into the house in the cold wind.

And beside the wooden table in front, Zhuo Zhuo had already finished ordering tea, and while Chen Qing was away, he began to gossip while drinking tea.

"Your tavern is really lucky. You met a big customer as soon as you opened it. Master Chen's generosity is well-known in our Guangwen Museum..."

"Then why does he live here?" Zhuo Zhuo hurriedly asked.

Several people didn't answer. After a while, one of the older scholars half-jokingly made a relief: "Yan Hui, a high-ranking apprentice who learns from a sage!" A sack of food, a ladle of drink, in a back alley. People are overwhelmed with worries, and they will not change their minds. It's fun. It's virtuous!'"

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed, Zhuozhuo still didn't give up, and wanted to continue asking, but Tan Zhifeng couldn't listen anymore: "Zhaozhuo, come here, take out the coir raincoat cake!"

Zhuo Zhuo got up together, and those people said again: "Hey, this place is really good, I really can't tell it was originally a pancake shop!"

Another person said: "Old man Zhang doesn't like to talk, the pancakes are still very fragrant, thin and crispy, hey, what kind of cake is this, let's try a piece."

When the golden and crisp coir raincoat pie came to the table, several scholars grabbed it immediately. When Chen Qing returned to the table and sat down, there was only one piece left on the plate.

"I left it for you." One of them said, "It's really delicious. I thought this cake was salty, but I didn't expect it to be sweet, with a honey fragrance."

Tan Zhifeng added boiling water to the soup bottle again and brought it up: "Substitute honey for sugar, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it later, so I specially made it lighter."

Several people immediately looked at this young shopkeeper with admiration, and you praised me a few words.Tan Zhifeng didn't prepare too many things in the kitchen behind him, so he sent Yi Yi to buy vegetables just now, and he hasn't come back for a long time, so he can only go out to have a look by himself.

This year is a cold winter, and the cold wind keeps pouring down the long alley. Although Tan Zhifeng is not afraid of the cold, he is a little staggered by the wind.Seeing that Yi Yi's unhurried figure finally appeared at the entrance of the alley, Tan Zhifeng heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, just about to help him lift the things in his hand, suddenly there was a "clang" in his ear, and his neck The water drop pendant in the room flickered with light, as if it was on fire.

Yi Yi was startled, quickly dropped the things, and came to support Tan Zhifeng who was crumbling. Tan Zhifeng supported the opposite wall and stood firm, but he saw the frozen white brick wall in front of him under the light of the water drop pendant. Little by little, a black, palm-sized eye emerged.

Tan Zhifeng winked at Yi Yi, and Yi Yi pretended to be nonchalant: "What, something fell?" The two looked down for a while, holding the bag, and walked quickly to the end of the alley.

The two of them stepped into the house in shock, and several scholars were still chatting: "Brother Zhou, you have been admitted to the Imperial Academy this year, what's new in your fasting room, tell us about it."

Tan Zhifeng carried the things into the back kitchen and put them on the floor, and stood face to face with Yi Yi for a while, raised his hands tiredly and rubbed between his brows: "Did you go in and out these two days, didn't you pay attention to that thing?"

Yi Yi shook his head: "It's nothing unusual, and I haven't seen any suspicious people. The people living in this area are all scholars, and there are prostitutes near Wazi Killing Pig Lane in Xinmen, or teahouses, come here during the day Often there are not many people.”
