Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 294
Huddled in the corner, in a daze, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, dreaming and waking up, I don’t know who the dream hooked
There was a piercing siren, followed by a noisy voice, Pingyao. When it arrived, I yawned and followed the crowd down the train!

Get off the train, follow the crowd out of the train station, and when you go out, you will encounter many hotels, hotels, taxis, bus stations, and train stations. This scene is very common.

The cars pulling people at this station are often the most expensive. I ignored these people and walked all the way forward, wandering around while walking, which is considered to be a stroll in the ancient city of Pingyao.

This Pingyao city is quite old. It is rumored that this ancient city existed as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. Speaking of the ancient city of Pingyao, the context of the city is quite complicated, with four main streets, eight small streets, and 72 winding alleys, criss-crossing.There are also countless ancient cities and historic sites. The most famous ones are the Three Treasures of Pingyao, the ancient city wall, Zhenguo Temple, and Shuanglin Temple. The ancient city and historic sites are all different in age and background, but all of them can be regarded as antiques!

Walking together, outside the city of Pingyao, there is an ancient city wall facing outwards, mottled with vicissitudes, engraved with wind, frost, rain and snow for many years, staring at the ancient city wall for a moment, I stepped into the city of Pingyao.

The years have been rough and frosty, so to speak, this city is old enough. I heard an old saying from the old man, this person is old. There are many foxes, and the city is old. Fox dens!In this way, there are probably swarms of foxes in this ancient city!

All the way into the city of Pingyao, I looked around, and I also thought about this matter in my heart. According to what the old man Jiang said, 30 years ago, the pig ran down from this man named Zhu Ling. San's mouth has spread it for 30 years. Although this Ben is said to be an auspicious beast from heaven, the rumors are rather evil, but he is still a pig. In the past 30 years, Zhu Lingsan. I dare not say that he is still alive, and the possibility of this pig is even smaller.

I sighed, in fact, I thought of this early in the morning. However, this clue is just a clue. If there are some clues, there will be some rush in my heart.

I heard old man Jiang say that Zhu Lingsan is actually a butcher, raising pigs, butchering pigs and opening a butcher shop, he makes a living in this line of work. In other words, it is an ancestral craft, how many years old.

As soon as I mentioned this time-honored brand, I felt a lot more at ease. The time-honored brand has lived in this place for a long time and has been there for many years. There must be many people who know it, unlike the Jiudao Hutong. Few people know it. In that deep ravine!
But when I went to the city to inquire about it, I couldn't laugh or cry. When I talked about the time-honored pork shops in Pingyao City, people were happy, saying that there are too many pork shops in Pingyao City. That pork shop is a street. Almost half of the land is filled with old-fashioned ancestral butchers who slaughter pigs and sell meat.

When I heard this, I was really dumbfounded, and I asked Zhu Lingsan's name again, everyone shook their heads when they heard it, but they wanted to come. This Zhu Lingsan was afraid that he was from the generation of old man Jiang and the others. Pingyao City is getting bigger again, maybe these are people who are buried in the loess, it's normal not to know!

When I heard people talk about this street of pork shops, I thought about it, this thing gathers like a bird and people are divided into groups, so if I go there to inquire about it, maybe I can get some results!
I took a taxi, and when I mentioned that the pork shop was on the same street, the driver smiled, "Brother, you want to buy pork, why do you travel so far, these four main streets, eight small streets, In the 72 alleys, there is no one selling pork!"

I pursed my lips and replied, "This pork is different from pork. I heard that the pork shop is full of old and famous brands. Let's come here. It's for the authenticity!"

The driver was delighted to hear it, "Hey, don't just listen to this time-honored brand, since the Zhu's shop got rid of the signboard, now ahhh, there is no distinction between old and new, and all the pork tastes the same!"

"Oh?" I was taken aback by these words, "Brother Driver, what do you mean by that!"

"Brother, I saw that you are a foreigner. You don't know about some things in the past few years. This time-honored pork shop used to be the signboard of Zhu's shop, let alone the pork in Zhu's shop. It is unique, and the smell. It is indeed more unique than ordinary people's. It is a pity. A few years ago, the smell is gone, and there is no difference between the new and the old!"

When I heard this, I was really happy, Zhu's shop. Could it be that Zhu Lingsan didn't expect that my casual sentence really made sense.

"Brother Driver, tell me, what was so unique about the pork in the old Zhu's shop before!"

The driver nodded and was stunned for a while while driving, "Speaking of which, I can't tell you what's unique, but compared to ordinary pork, it does taste different, refreshing and chewy. The same chef Cooking the same dish, but different pork, the taste is far worse. Just because of this, it seems that the Health Bureau and Security Bureau have conducted a special investigation, but they have not found any problems. People say it may be from pigs. There are some special things about the food and offerings, but this is a secret that has not been handed down from the family, and they will not disclose it to the outside world. It is not known because of the sect!
Hearing what the driver said, I really thought a little more about it. Those who can work hard on the pig’s food support, this ancestral way is definitely an old-fashioned brand that can’t be wrong, but what I wonder is, why is that unique? The smell of pork is gone again!

I opened my mouth and asked again, "This pork used to have a unique taste, but now...why doesn't it have that unique flavor!"

"Who knows, hey, that thing is very weird!" The driver shook his head and muttered, "I remember it's been a long time. It must have been seven or eight years ago. The pork of the time-honored brand at that time was much older than the usual pork. The price is more than [-]% more expensive. For some reason, the pork bought by a big restaurant turned sour overnight. It was summer, and I thought it was not stored well, so I thought I was unlucky, but Next question, the batch of meat that the restaurants and taverns received from that Zhu's shop... was not bad, and all of them were stinky overnight!"

"All the pork stinks overnight!" I nodded in response, "This is a strange thing!"

The driver followed with a sigh, "Hey, who's to say it's not, hundreds of catties of pork stink overnight, so many restaurants' problems can't all be caused by restaurants and restaurants, any fool can see It's the Zhu's shop that caused the problem!"

"Back when a dozen or so taverns got together, they found two elders who took the lead, and they ran to the pork shop to ask for an explanation. The owner of Zhu's shop was not easy to mess with, so I thought it would have to be messed up. There was a little movement, but I didn't expect that the pork shop would take all the responsibility in one go, not only compensate the original price, but also pay the full price for the loss. That time, the Zhu's shop was a big stumble!

"A pile of stinky meat. It's not only a loss of capital, but also a bad reputation. Since then, the Zhu's shop's pork business has begun to decline. The unique smell of pork, since then It was cut off for some reason, and it is precisely because of this that these pork shops have the opportunity to rise up!" The driver muttered while driving.

Hearing what the driver said, I frowned and shook my head, "This is indeed a strange thing. Is it obvious that I want to smack the signboard of that pork shop? Maybe someone behind the scenes has played tricks!"

"Hmph, who is Zhu Laosan of Zhu's shop? Those who want to save face have to be called Mr. Zhu. Don't look like he is a butcher who sells pork. He has a violent temper and real kung fu. On that street He is also a well-known person who cannot be provoked, dare to play tricks behind his back. I am afraid that there are not many people!"

"Hey, it wasn't that I didn't have this suspicion at the beginning. Many people thought that someone was behind the scenes, but what I didn't expect was that the boss of the Zhu family not only didn't react, but suppressed it with one hand. Like I thought it was unlucky, so I didn't bother about it any more, and this matter finally disappeared!
Hearing the driver's words, I couldn't help being stunned. Could it be Zhu Lingsan who is Zhu Laosan? It's just a word difference. But I can't be sure if he is alone!
"Brother driver, tell me, the owner of Zhu's shop is Zhu Laosan, so his original name is Zhu Lingsan!" When I asked, the driver was stunned for a few seconds and shook his head, " I don’t know about that, outsiders always call him Zhu Laosan, but I’ve never heard of the name Zhu Lingsan!”

Hearing what he said, I felt at a loss again, but since I've come, I'll be at ease, since we're all here, I'll just ask to understand.

Speaking of this, the taxi has already rushed to the downtown area, buying and selling snacks, all kinds of juggling, and a sea of ​​people. This taxi stops and stops, and it can't run here!

"Brother, look at the boundary. I'm afraid the car won't be able to run, and the Zhu's shop is not far in front, why don't you?" the driver asked.

When the driver said this, I immediately nodded and said, "OK...you can show me the way, and I'll get off here!"

While talking, I took out a [-]-yuan note and handed it to the driver. He wanted some change, but when I waved my hand, he understood what it meant. Along the way, I got a lot of news from other people. To get benefits from others, you have to benefit others. It's convenient for everyone!
