Ancient Fortune Records

In September, Osmanthus osmanthus is fragrant, and it's time for a monthly rest.At this time, officials of all sizes in Youzhou would go to restaurants to drink in the past, but not necessarily now.There are many food shops springing up like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, popping up in the prosperous places in Youzhou.The streets are much more lively than before. If Xiu Mu doesn't take a good look around, he won't be able to talk to others when he gets back.Fresh food and fresh people and things have become the entry point for everyone to communicate together.

Because there are fashionable things such as canned fruit, merchants from all over the world want to come to this place to buy goods, so the streets are full of inns that receive customers or shops that sell things.Youzhou is gradually becoming prosperous, and there are always many old people who think all this is incredible.

Wang Zhong grew up in Jicheng, and Jicheng is one of the most prosperous places in Youzhou, so the changes in Jicheng are the most significant.In the face of these changes, Wang Zhong daily felt incredible just like those old people, but he adapted quickly.

Wang Zhong came out of the house happily. He had just changed into light clothes, and met Cai Lin, who was in charge of the job, for lunch. Cai Lin usually didn't talk much, and he didn't like to talk to his colleagues when he was working.At first, they were promoted together to be the head of the grain department, in charge of grain cashiers. They were not familiar with each other. Whenever Wang Zhong talked to Cai Lin, Cai Lin would only reply with a few words, and Wang Zhong's family was not considered wealthy. , So I once thought that Cai Lin didn't like him.The two, who were supposed to have a good relationship, had a tense fight (Wang Zhong confronted Cai Lin unilaterally).

Later, Master Shen invited all the officials in the prefecture city to eat in restaurants, and when he rewarded them for their hard work, he realized that Cai Lin was just not good at words, in fact, he did not look down on him at all.Moreover, this person is a glutton, he is very good at eating, and he is very good at eating. Only when he encounters delicious food, he will talk more. He is an interesting person.

"It's finally a rest today, and we're all tired these days, so treat yourself well! I'm starving to death! Let's go to that newly opened barbecue restaurant to eat something!"

"It is said that the barbecue restaurant is no different from ordinary restaurants, except that the seasoning is delicious." Cai Lin replied calmly, but his expectant eyes could not deceive Wang Zhong, who was already familiar with him.

"Can the seasoning be delicious? It is said that Master Shen's younger brother Shen Yan opened the shop. He got some seasonings from his brother and opened this barbecue shop specially. Roast lamb chops, roast whole chicken, roast pork, roast Eggplants, grilled fish...you add cumin and chili powder to everything you bake, the taste, oh, don’t mention how amazing it is! Since you said it’s no different from other barbecue restaurants, don’t compete with me for a while!”

Cai Lin chuckled, "Perhaps that person was envious of this restaurant, so he told me that the taste is just like any other restaurant!" Let?nonexistent.

"Besides, I heard that when Mr. Shen arrived here, he searched everywhere for those farmers who are good at planting, and wanted some farmers to grow condiments like ginger, pepper, cumin, and pepper, and then promote the planting locally. It was later discovered that No one is willing to plant these crops that can't be full at first glance, so they buy these seasoning crops from other places and make them into dishes for free, so that people who come and go can taste them. Unfortunately, people who know that seasonings are good things are still very happy few!

Later, Mr. Shen’s younger brother, Mr. Shen Yan, came up with the idea of ​​opening a restaurant. As long as someone patronized, he would tell him how the dishes are so fragrant, and focus on promoting seasonings to attract the attention of merchants.

Now that people know the benefits of these things, restaurants or food shops all over the world are rushing to collect them.Farmers dare to plant now, but it will definitely take time to plant land.Now because most of the seasonings are not available for money, most barbecue restaurants can only provide miso, and customers have to eat some barbecue with miso.Therefore, among all the barbecue restaurants in Fucheng, only this one has pepper powder, pepper powder, and chili powder for seasoning! "

Cai Lin still didn't speak, but secretly decided to grab a few more pieces of meat while Wang Zhong was chattering.

Both of these two are newly promoted petty officials, and their family backgrounds are not well-to-do, but it's okay to have some barbecue while resting.Barbecue is not expensive, about fifteen yuan per plate. A big man can eat two plates of barbecue, add some roasted corn and roasted eggplant, and he will be full.There is no charge for condiments, but it is not appropriate to add too much, because the store has already seasoned it initially, and you only need to add some favorites according to your personal taste.

This barbecue restaurant is very orderly. No matter what status you are, as long as you order food at the restaurant and pay the bill, you will be given a lottery with a number on it. When you are called, you can take your own. That one, no jumping in line, no pushing and shoving.But in this case, the speed is indeed much faster.

Cai Lin thought, as expected of Mr. Shen's younger brother, he is so particular about opening a barbecue restaurant.

After getting his own share, Wang Zhong hadn't eaten yet, and was still croaking about the beauty of the barbecue here, while Cai Lin had already eaten half of the plate of barbecue without making a sound.When Wang Zhong finally remembered that he still had lunch, Cai Lin had already finished eating the roast pig meat on his plate, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.The spiciness of chili pepper and the hemp of Chinese prickly ash, wrapped in a rich and delicious gravy, brought him great pleasure as his tongue touched the barbecue. What is it called a barbecue?

Wang Zhong finally remembered his barbecue. He was surprised to see that Cai Lin was finishing the grilled eggplant, and immediately became vigilant. This Cai Lin might try to steal his barbecue. He has to eat it quickly...

"Brother Wang."

After Cai Lin finished his grilled eggplant, he began to look at Wang Zhong with a melancholy look.

Wang Zhong cast aside Cai Lin in his heart, this guy looks pure and good, but he is actually a big belly man, a thief can eat this plate, he has to place a new order, because of this "Brother Wang", it is really not worth it, no worth!

Cai Lin blinked his eyes, "After the fall, I will make one more ledger than you."

Wang Zhong smiled, okay, good boy, I know that I don't like to be an account book, "you can eat what you eat, you have to remember to help me with the account book."

There is no need to pay grain tax this year, but there is official land in the city, and the official land is tenanted to the tenants for farming, and a part of the tax still needs to be paid. Hungry.

To be honest, before Mr. Shen came here, no one thought about it at all, so every time there was a natural or man-made disaster, many people would starve to death.Nowadays, the granaries that store grain are strictly controlled by officials, and there is no Xiaoxiao who dares to covet the official land used for disaster relief.

As soon as Wang Zhong thought of this, he felt that Mr. Shen was a rare good official. He was doing things under such an official, so he felt busy and happy!

not to mention……

After Mr. Shen came, Youzhou has really changed a lot, food, hygiene, housing, everything has changed.

Speaking of this, Wang Zhong remembered that he still needs to keep an eye on the construction progress of the new granary. The new granary is made of cement, and it is said that it will be covered with two floors. Fortunately, Cai Lin was with him to take care of this matter.

When asked about this matter, Cai Lin said slowly: "I plan to add another house to my backyard, the kind made of cement. I saw the drawing of our new granary, and I feel that this kind of house is not leaky but also very strong. The workers are ready-made, and the materials are also ready-made, as long as you find a way to buy some materials, you can build a house by yourself.”

"Master Shen, can you agree?"

Cai Lin wondered: "The big man-made cement workshop has been in existence for more than ten days. Although it has not been completed yet, why do you not agree to our purchase? Maybe, in a few days, there will be merchants from other places who are ready to come to buy cement. I have to prepare early."

Wang Zhong looked at Cai Lin's calculations in an orderly manner, and ate only half of his roasted corn by the way, and immediately let out a scream: "Cai Lin!!! You ate my food again!!!"
