Winning every step of the Red Mansion

136

Shi Fei'er went to Wangjiang Tower to relax, because she was bored staying in the center of the mansion, she never wanted to meet the emperor and the prince again.In this way, the old troubles are gone, and the new troubles are coming again.

But now that things have come to this, Shi Feier is helpless.There is another reason why I decided to enter this elegant room today.It's just that now Shi Fei'er is only thinking about how to find a suitable excuse to escape.I wanted to eat a few mouthfuls, and left quietly, but I didn't know that the emperor would ask questions, so I have to be more careful with me now.

"It's hard to adjust to everyone's opinions, and it's not bad to ask for comfort..."

Shi Fei'er heard what the emperor said, but there was no movement afterwards, and she was a little relieved, praying secretly that the emperor would stop asking questions.

After all, there is only a screen separating the whole house, so it is impossible to hide the movements inside and outside.After a while, I heard the emperor say again: "Lao Liu, what's going on here?"

Shi Feier's heart skipped a beat again, and she thought to herself, maybe it's time to start now, if I knew this, I should have told the shopkeeper just now, to move today's matter to a later date.But money can't buy the past.

The layout of this private room is exquisite, and there are many large windows on the side facing the street, which not only makes the room bright, but also facilitates the view of the street.Shi Fei'er stood up and took a few steps, then fell to the window and looked down.It's okay if you don't look at it, but it's even more anxious to see it.

Originally, this Wangjiang Tower was located in a downtown street, and the building occupied a large area. At first, Shi Feier bought it, and once set up a ring in front of this restaurant in order to make a name for herself.Looking down from the top at that time, the crowds were quite spectacular.But now the outside of the building is even more crowded than that day, and there are still people coming here from the street.

"Lao Liu, why did so many people gather all of a sudden?"

"This, this son doesn't know either." Prince Zhong Jing's voice was quite hesitant, "It seems, it seems that these people are here to buy buns."

At this moment, Shi Fei'er was more worried, but fortunately, this person gathered quickly and dispersed quickly.It's just a cup of tea, and the work is gone again.

This is the main reason why Shi Feier decided to sit in this private room when she came to Wangjiang Tower today.It is not surprising that when this restaurant opens its doors to welcome guests, hundreds of families come to taste it.Selling buns in restaurants is also the most common.But it is a miracle that this restaurant can attract so many people to buy steamed stuffed buns.

There are three reasons why Wangjianglou’s steamed stuffed buns are so sought after: one is cheap, this steamed stuffed bun is bigger than the fist of an adult man, but it only costs one penny for a copper plate; the other is stuffing. Well, such a big steamed stuffed bun is not stuffed with vegetarian stuffing, it's stuffed with real meat, and good meat tastes better; thirdly, the amount of this steamed stuffed bun is variable, sometimes it's made more, sometimes it's made less.Because the price is cheap, the quantity is large, and the taste is good, this restaurant also has a limit, one person can only buy one.

"That's strange. How could it be so lively just to buy a steamed stuffed bun. Along the way, I saw quite a few people buying steamed stuffed buns, but I've never seen it like this. Call the shopkeeper, I have something to ask him."

Hearing what the emperor said, Shi Feier felt even more uneasy.But she couldn't help this matter, as soon as the emperor finished speaking, someone went out and called the shopkeeper.

Naturally, the shopkeeper came quite quickly, and immediately smiled with him as soon as he entered the room, and stood against the screen and said, "My lords, what's your name? Do you want to add some more dishes?"

"It's not necessary to add vegetables. Let me ask you, what's the reason for the surge of people downstairs just now?" Zhong Jing said.

"Master Hui, the steamed stuffed buns from the shop were freshly released for sale just now." The shopkeeper replied naturally.In fact, the time for selling steamed stuffed buns was slightly earlier today, just to show the big boss, to prove that he is quite serious in his work.This is even better, the owner has not asked yet, and a guest asks, which is even better, and it will also avoid the suspicion of boasting if I just talk to the big owner.

"Sell buns? You go and get ten buns, let's see what's so special about your buns?

Hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly became embarrassed, and looked back at Jia's mother, not knowing how to reply.Shi Feier was also a little impatient, after thinking that such a person could not hide, it would be better to tell the truth, so Shi Feier nodded slightly at the shopkeeper.The shopkeeper was also smart, so he naturally understood what Mother Jia wanted him to tell the truth, so he said again: "To tell you the truth, this bun is gone, and a person like you can't eat this bun?"

"Can't you eat it? Heh." The emperor smiled: "It's the first time I've heard that there are things I can't eat in this world. You can explain to me today why they only eat the buns in your shop, sir. But can't eat?"

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that this was a misdirection, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for your clumsy mouth, it's not that I can't eat it, it's that this bun is not worthy for you to eat."

"This is even more strange? Is there a distinction between eating buns?"

"If you go back to the master, how dare the small shop make any distinctions." The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Tell the truth to the master, these buns are very cheap, and the one with meat filling is only a penny..."

"Wait, you said that your buns only cost a penny each! Are they stuffed with meat? This is the cheapest price I've heard today."

"That's true, otherwise, why would there be so many people coming to buy it!" The shopkeeper's forehead was sweating, and his heart was always trembling when talking to this master, "It's just that this stuffing is not suitable for a master like you. This stuffing is made of Koufu meat. You are so precious that you can't eat it."

"Food Meat? This is a trip to learn new words, Lao Liu, do you know what is "Food Meat?"

"Son, I don't know. Shopkeeper, tell me in detail what is so special about this delicious meat?"

"This mouthful of meat," the shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "it's what you left after eating. If you didn't even touch the chopsticks for this braised elbow at your table, if you leave, the villain will withdraw from the table." After tidying up, I collected the elbow separately, and picked it up again to make it into the stuffing of the buns. This is the delicious meat. This is the delicious meat you left for the villain."

These words made the emperor and Prince Zhongjing stupid. They looked at the dishes on the table and then at the shopkeeper. "Are you telling the truth?"

"How dare a villain lie to you! To tell you the truth, how much money does this ordinary family have to buy meat to eat? But you said that this meat is good, and it was cooked carefully by the chef. I didn't eat this bite. Or it would be a pity to throw away only a few chopsticks. But there are not many people in the small shop. Although I picked up some of the lucky meat this day, there are still a lot left. It is a waste of good things. It’s a pain in the ass to lose it, and that’s why there are koufubao made of koufu meat.” The shopkeeper sighed and said, “That’s why I said that a noble person like you can’t eat this stuff.”

The emperor and Prince Zhongjing were silent for a moment, and Prince Zhongjing said: "There is a lot left, why don't you give it to beggars?"

"Master, our boss said that this beggar has hands and feet and should be self-sufficient. If he is in trouble, he can help him. If he is given in this way, it will not help him but hurt him. Some apprentices in our shop are from small beggars. The boss sees The poor ones, many of them have learned well now, and the smartest ones can help cook. As for those with disabilities, they can pick up a meal at the back door of the restaurant every day when they arrive at You hour. But as for those who are in good health, they are Laziness just wants to get something for nothing. Our boss said it was so muddy, so why bother to force our hands to get dirty. What's more, our store also needs to be run, so getting up early and resting late is hard work, and it's not worth it to give that lazy person a white job."

"It's interesting what your boss said." The emperor said, "It's just that you only sell this bun for a penny, so can you make money?"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "If you come back to the master, you can't make money from this steamed stuffed bun. The price can probably be paid back. However, the restaurant still mainly serves banquet dishes, so it is profitable. Because of the Koufu Bao, the The reason is also for everyone to listen to. It is up to the customers to buy or not to buy. We are afraid that the customers in the store will be suspicious, so we don’t sell buns here except Koufu Bao. The sale is only once a day.”

"Your family is interesting. You think and do things differently." The emperor said again: "Let me ask you, your lucky bag came from the leftovers. If one day the leftovers are gone, you buns Are you still selling it?"

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, then glanced back at Mother Jia and said, "Sell! I think our boss is kind-hearted, and if we don't have this good food for a day, this bun will be sold. A few baskets of buns a day should be affordable."

"If that's the case, I really should send a plaque to your boss. Roommate, are you right?" Emperor Laoer suddenly changed the subject and asked Shi Feier.

Shi Fei'er was originally worried that if this kind of noble son knew about it, something would happen, so today he wanted to take a look at what was going on.Where would you have thought of encountering this?But looking at it now, I think it's pretty smooth today.But he was still surprised to hear the emperor's questioning all of a sudden.

"Although this business is for profit, but in the long run, you still have to keep benevolence and righteousness in your heart. The store's move is a bit strong." Shi Fei'er didn't know the emperor's intentions at this time, and she said that she couldn't put a high hat on herself. Be humble.After thinking for a while, he said: "This lucky meat is just because the store owner has no choice but to take pity on the food. Although the intention is good, there are also places that are not in harmony with etiquette. If there is a day when this meat is not a luxury for the common people, I am afraid that at that time this lucky bag No one wants to give it away.”

"Fanyou's knowledge is quite different! If it is according to your words, is there a way to make people not regard this meat as a luxury?"

Shi Fei'er thought about it: "I dare not speak nonsense on such a big matter. I just feel that rare things are precious, and those who get high prices will inevitably get few. Simply think that if the people are richer and the price of meat is lower, then there must be some One day."

Although Shi Feier was quite apprehensive, she felt that this was a good opportunity. If she could seize the opportunity to talk about the economy with her, it might benefit the business in the future.It's a pity that I can't figure out the emperor's temperament, and I dare not speak nonsense, worrying that if I say too much, I will cause trouble if I don't agree with him.It can be said that it is shallow and cannot be touched, and I am wasting my words, and I am very entangled.

While hesitating, he heard the emperor say again: "Please explain in detail."

The author has something to say: After thinking about it, I think I should write this matter out

It's about eating what other people have eaten, which happened to me twice, both times in the same mall.

At that time, I went to the movies with my friends and had dinner together before watching the movie. There was a food stall with a lot of varieties, so I chose a few.

I overestimated my appetite, and I couldn't eat after two bites if there was a bowl of noodles.

Since there was still time before the movie started, I sat there and waited.

After waiting for a while, a little boy came over and asked me, "Auntie, do you still eat your noodles?"

At that time, I thought it was the children of the food stalls who came to help their parents, because the food stalls don’t care about the tableware after eating.

I just said I don’t want to eat it, let’s take it [I waste it, I’m ashamed]

Then the little boy took it away, and I was fine, watching with emotion that this kid is sensible.Knowing how to help the family at such a young age.

As a result, the kid went to the place where the two of us were sitting and sat down to eat noodles.I was so stupid at the time, tears came down without exaggeration.

I walked over and said, "Auntie will buy you a new bowl, don't eat this one."

The little boy said: "Auntie, I will be full after eating this."

……

Thinking about it made me sad, I didn't want any money from him, I went and bought him some other food.

The other time it was a middle-aged uncle, and I also had noodles left [I waste my shame]

Was served aside and eaten.

To be honest, these two incidents have had a particularly big impact on me. They are not beggars, they are neatly dressed, and their clothes are not worn out.

Even if you sit close to you, you would never think that they will be so hungry that they will eat leftovers.

Finally, I said that there was a store selling such buns in the Qing Dynasty, but I forgot the name.Kangxi knew it and mentioned it.

Well, I always want to express my own thoughts in the article, but the writing is not good, please forgive me, little angels.

I originally wanted to write something more relaxed, but it seems to be off the track, I think it would be better to explain it, it seems to be even more off.

Thank you to everyone who has been reading the text, listen to me
