I'm a big dick

Chapter 24

Wechat private visits, to understand the people's sentiments, well, so to speak, there is suspicion of putting money on your face.

For Zhu Youxiao, the appearance of Beijing at this time, as well as the customs and customs, I have never seen it before!
Therefore, he was actually visiting temple fairs and watching the excitement.

Candied haws, crystal clear syrup, small red fruit, a few children surrounded the hawker, shouting happily, "You string it, I string it, pointing to the candied haws on the shopping handle.

Bring two skewers, one for myself and one for Zhang Yu'er, this poor girl actually died of starvation in the palace.

"Thank you, servant..." Zhang Yu'er wanted to salute and thank you, but seeing the young emperor's stare, he hurriedly stopped him.

Before leaving the palace, Zhu Youxiao gave an explanation, don't call Xie En indiscriminately outside, and anyone who reveals his identity will be severely punished.

Sour and fragrant, Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, the taste of his childhood, he tasted it again in the Ming Dynasty.

"You want to eat too?" Zhang Yu'er looked at the white lady who was wrapped in fur with only her big head exposed. This guy was stretching out a small claw to scratch her.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it, bit off a fruit, pinched it in his hand, and handed it to Xiaobai's mouth.

Yitong's eyes blinked and his head tilted, but Xiaobai ignored him as if disgusted, and "meowed" at Zhang Yuer.

Not eating it, Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, threw the fruit into his mouth, clicked, clicked, and chewed.

Bai Niangniang also ate one, as if trying something new, the taste didn't seem to suit her taste, she shrunk into the fur again, and was held by Zhang Yu'er with one hand, like a little baby.

Zhang Yuer wanted to eat it very much, but the emperor was beside him, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Seeing the emperor turned his head and walked forward, he hesitated for a while, and slowly put the candied haws on his tongue and licked it, it was sweet.

Looking at the back of the emperor, Zhang Yuer took a bite lightly, it was sour and sweet, fragrant and crunchy, it tasted really good.

The temple fair was lively, but Zhu Youxiao felt it was very chaotic.There is no unified planning, a spontaneous market, the stalls are naturally one on the left and one on the right, so they can be placed wherever there is time, so it can't be chaotic!
Moreover, there are quite a lot of products at the temple fair, such as jade, antiques, silk fans in Beijing costumes, jewelry, etc., as well as general merchandise for household use, but Zhu Youxiao has no shortage of these!

Therefore, eating while shopping has become the theme of Zhu Youxiao and others visiting temple fairs.What kind of pastry, stewed, sesame candy, meatballs, rice cakes... There are not many of them, so Zhu Youxiao just tasted them.

Zhang Yuer has passed her mouth addiction, the more she eats, the bolder she becomes, the more she eats, the more open she is.

Zhu Youxiao also bought a beautifully crafted cloth bag at the stall, slung it over the girl's shoulder, and it was bulging full of food.

Besides eating, juggling is more attractive, mainly because Zhang Yuer has never seen it.

Somersaults, somersaults, rope juggling, etc., Zhang Yu'er's eyes were wide open, and she was very excited to watch.Zhu Youxiao, who is used to watching the more exciting performances of later generations, had no choice but to stop and watch without leaving a trace in order to take care of her.

It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, that is, at the time of Wei, Zhu Youxiao and others walked out along the street after visiting the temple fair.

"My lord, in front is the Zhuangyuan's residence. I heard that there are some signature dishes, which taste very good." Wang Tiqian approached and said.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and ordered: "Then go and taste it!"

Wang Tiqian hurriedly greeted several guards, who guarded the emperor and walked towards Zhuangyuanju.

The front door of Zhuangyuan Residence is not small, and the pillars outside are carved beams and painted buildings, one can tell that the grade is not low.

Entering the store, looking around, I found that the furnishings are more elegant.Calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, bonsai are placed on the ground, tables and chairs are made of mahogany, and the floor is made of solid wood, free of formaldehyde and pollution.

A lobby was made like this without the clutter and noise of the usual hotel, and it was done with care.

"Several guest officers, please come here." The waiter also had a look, seeing that these people were not simple, so he graciously let Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yuer to the private room on the second floor.

After ordering a few signature dishes, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to order and said, "The guards outside have worked hard, Wang Tigan will order a table for them, you two should sit down too, standing there is too conspicuous. "

The table was quite big, Wang Tigan went out and finished the arrangements, returned to the private room, and sat down with Zhang Yuer.

"This Zhuangyuan Building has put its heart into it. Looking at the name of this dish, it is exactly what Juzi is thinking." Zhu Youxiao looked at the recipe casually, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of dish has changed its name, just to flatter me. ?”

Wang Tiqian smiled apologetically, and replied: "The other slaves don't know, but this champion knows it's a braised lion's head."

Eating a meatball can win the championship?

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, disapproving in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously, as long as the food was delicious.

At this time, many guests came into the hotel, and they all came to eat after visiting the temple fair.Among them, there are several candidates for the exam.

If you win the Juren, you can not only be called a master, but you will not kneel when you see the county magistrate, you have the qualifications to serve as low-level civil servants (officials), and there are many economic benefits.

Juren in the Ming Dynasty generally exempted [-] mu from tax. It doesn’t matter if the family doesn’t have so many fields, many farmers will entrust their land property under the name of Juren to reduce taxation.

In other words, the taxes that should have been the state were taken away by those scholars and gentry with fame.

In addition, Juren and Jinshi travel abroad, and they often have the income of "carriage money".

Because the Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars, those with official status and fame could be exempted from taxes.As a result, many merchant ships will invite Jinshi or recruits to be "talismans" on board, and when encountering government tax bills, let them come forward to deal with it, and all commercial taxes will be exempted.

In this way, Jinshi and Juren don't have to do anything, just show their face and sign up for a name, and they can eat and drink for free and travel for free, and they can also earn money, which is "carriage money".

There is no business, no cheating, the cabin money paid by the merchants is naturally far from the normal tax payment.Scholars and Juren get small benefits, businesses get big profits, and only the government is taken advantage of.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, if you have a reputation for raising people, you can make a fortune economically.Unless you are just selected, you have not had time to enjoy the benefits.

The Zhuangyuan Building is a high-end restaurant, ordinary people dare not set foot in it, but for most of them, it is still affordable.

"Xiaoer, what kind of dish is this Lianzhong Sanyuan?" Like Zhu Youxiao, there are many newcomers who don't know what the dish is just by looking at the name of the dish.

"Returning guest officer, this Lianzhong Sanyuan is also called Sixi Balls." The guy explained with a smile.

Another questioner raised a question, "What about this blockbuster?"

"Returning Guest Officer, this dish is also known as Steamed Chicken with Shallots."

"The title of the gold list?"

“Pork trotters with pork ribs!”

…………

Regardless of the ingredients and taste, just based on this implication, it's worth it!
