Nanming Yiming

Chapter 29

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Qian Mo said that he had rewarded a beautiful woman yesterday, and today he wanted to thank his master and governor Zhou for mobilizing troops to set up a personal army team for him, and took the two of them to Zuixianlou for dinner with Maid Jiang Shan.

It has been nearly 2 months since Qian Mo traveled to Nanjing. Apart from staying in Hong Chengchou's Governor's Mansion and going to Piaoxiang Pavilion on the Qinhuai River on weekdays, he has never eaten at a serious restaurant.Although chili peppers had been introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and peppers could be seen in Guangdong and Zhejiang, but during this period, chili peppers were mostly regarded as ornamental plants, and almost no one used them as seasonings for cooking. It's too painful for people who don't like spicy food, so they don't have much interest in restaurants!

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up 16 restaurants in Nanjing to entertain guests from all walks of life. Zuixianlou is one of them. Although it was built by the government, it has always been run by the people.The restaurant in the Ming Dynasty was not just a place to eat and drink. It was a high-end dining and entertainment place with wine waiters, dancers and other entertainment. It usually entertained merchants and officials, which was beyond the reach of ordinary ordinary people.In the early Ming Dynasty, these restaurants were full of official prostitutes, which can be understood as the Ming Dynasty version of "Heaven and Earth". Later, with the relocation of the capital to Beijing and the rise of the "Qinhuai River", these restaurants just returned to their main business of drinking and eating.

This Zuixian Tower is located in the bustling area of ​​Nanjing City. It is 5 stories high and quite magnificent.Under the sunlight, the three gold-plated characters of "Zuixianlou" on the gate plaque are particularly dazzling.

The owner of Zuixianlou, surnamed Huang, is obese and the third eldest in his family, so he was nicknamed "Huang San Fatty".At this time, Huang Sanpang was already Qian Mo's little fan. Not long ago, "Huang Sanpang" bet Qian Mo 1000 taels in the "Tianxia Bureau" gambling game at the last moment, and won a full 3 taels.For this matter, Zuixianlou was interrogated by the government for a long time, and Huang Sanpang had to spend money to eliminate the disaster.Huang Sanpang naturally has some backgrounds to be able to open a restaurant in Nanjing, so he spent 2 taels of silver to find Ma Guozhu's network.Although the money was spent unjustly, it did not affect Huang Sanpang's admiration for Qian Mo in the slightest. After all, he was a man who earned 500 million taels. Except for Shen Wansan in the early Ming Dynasty, no one could compare with Qian Mo.

Seeing the arrival of Qian Mo and others, Huang Sanpang greeted them personally with enthusiasm.

"Mr. Qian and all the adults are here. My Zuixianlou is really full of splendor. Please follow me to the private room on the 5th floor! It is a blessing for the villain to give you face to eat in my Zuixianlou. Today's expenses are all counted." On my Huang Sanpang's head, you adults must have fun!"

Hearing the words "Huang San Pang", Qian Mo showed a wicked smirk. He couldn't help thinking of the most awesome post-3s generation in the future, but the fat man in front of him didn't look very much like him.This Zuixianlou is indeed one of the best restaurants in Nanjing, and the interior decoration is also very elegant. Qian Mo seems to have walked into a museum of the Ming Dynasty. This chair is from Hainan Huanghuali, right?But what really attracted Qian Mo was a wooden sign that said today's special dish: Jinling Roast Duck.It turns out that there is already roast duck in this era, so you can feast on it.I thought that this Huang Sanpang is quite business-minded, and he knows how to advertise the daily special dishes.For the sake of his diligence, I can order him a little bit. Qian Mo now has the "God's perspective", teaching this fat man a little bit is enough for him to benefit from it for life!
When he reached the 2nd floor, Qian Mo saw a altar of the God of Wealth, which should be Zhao Gongming's appearance of the God of Wealth. In fact, it is not too different from the later generations.It's just that the face looks more and more wrong, and there is a feeling of deja vu.Damn, isn't this your own face?
Qian Mo said: "Huang Sanpang, what's the matter with your God of Wealth?"

Huang Sanpang said with a playful smile: "Mr. Qian himself doesn't know it. Now it is spread all over Nanjing. You are the god of wealth in the sky. Now the statue of the god of wealth in Nanjing city is the image of Mr. Qian. Not only Nanjing, Yangzhou and Suzhou are already popular!"

Damn, Qian Mo thought that such a good business opportunity would actually take advantage of those profiteers for nothing.But in this era, there is no protection of portrait rights, and I can't do anything to these profiteers, but now that I am short of money, it seems that Huang Sanpang, this "little fat sheep", is going to make a good fortune.

There is only this one room on the entire fifth floor. This is not like a private dining room, but rather a small theater.There is only one round table in the huge space. Through the window, you can overlook the street view of Nanjing, and on the other side is a small stage.The private room is filled with the smell of sandalwood, and there is even a rockery and flowing water. It seems that Huang Sanpang did not spend less time on the decoration.

After being seated, Qian Mo said, "What are you waiting for, Huang Sanpang, let's serve!"

"Sliced ​​mutton, beautiful liver, sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root, Jinling salted duck, stir-fried river shrimp, squirrel fish, Yangzhou lion head, stewed chicken fuu, double-flavored shrimp, fish head casserole in thick soup, and of course our restaurant's recommended dishes today Jinling Roast Duck." Amidst the yelling of the waiter, delicious dishes were served on the table.The dim sum is Nanjing's special "egg siu mai", and the dessert is "Bird's Nest with Rock Sugar". Of course, there is also Zuixianlou's signature wine "Jinlingchun".

Zuixianlou is indeed one of the best restaurants in Nanjing. Although it doesn't have the spicy dishes that Qian Mo likes, these dishes really whet everyone's appetite.

Qian Mo said: "Master Xie, Governor Zhou, Mr. Jiang, Qian Mo borrowed flowers to offer a cup of Buddha to all of you, and I will rely on a few of you to help me in the future!"

Everyone quickly said: "My lord, you are welcome, these are all my duties."

Afterwards, Huang Sanpang called the dancer to add to the fun, and they chatted happily.During the period, Zhou Boda praised Qian Mo's "On China" very well, and Qian Mo also praised Zhou Boda for being mature and capable, and caring for the common people.Zhou Qian and the two praised each other for a while, which made Xie Sanmu and Jiang Shanmai a little embarrassed, so they had to toast each other.

After drinking and eating, Qian Mo called Huang Sanpang, after all, he hadn't done his serious business of "sweeping wool".

So Qian Mo asked: "Huang Sanpang, how much does your Zuixianlou make per month?"

Huang Sanpang said: "In the past few years, the restaurant business has been bleak, and this year it has improved a little bit. How dare we expect to make a profit. Thank God for not losing money!"

Qian Mo said: "In this way, if you entertain me today, you will lose more and more?"

Huang Sanpang quickly explained: "Young Master Qian, don't misunderstand, the villain never meant that!"

Qian Mo said: "Don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing. My son is happy today, because it's not easy for you to run a business and you treat yourself with heart, so I'll give you a few pointers."
