Be Modest, My Master of Imperial Guards

Gu Yunxi woke up early, carrying a large dark green embroidered cloth bag, stuffed with necessary things, and riding with Leng Qingtang.

The road from Pingshan to the border of Xiyi is not too close. It was noon when it arrived at the commercial street.

Gu Yunxi secretly cheered: The time is just right.

The commercial street where they are located is the largest concentration of trade on the border between the Central Plains and Xiyi. It has a wide range, with the main street as the central axis extending to a radius of thousands of miles, and thousands of alleys extend in all directions, and there are many shops and shops. People from the Central Plains, Yi people, and camel caravans gathered here to sell all kinds of popular goods.

From here to the east for half a day, it is Baishuiguan.

Gu Yunxi and Leng Qingtang got off their horses in front of the Dongzhou Restaurant on the main street.

The boundary is located in a special place, and there is no strict restriction on the height of the houses, so here, no matter the houses, shops, the architectural form is also two or three-story pavilions.

The Dongzhou Restaurant is a four-story building with a four-story building, and the architectural style is the four-sided Xieshan eaves roof of the Central Plains. The pillars of red lacquer and the white jade are the columns. The stiles are painted with gold and jade. The overall architectural style is completely different from that of the surrounding towers. The top of the Xiyi attic.

Gu Yunxi had heard of this restaurant from Lu Qiange before.

It is most well-known near the border, and its dishes combine the characteristics of Central Plains and Xiyi. Even the osmanthus wine brewed by his home is unique in the local area. Most of the guests it receives are dignitaries and countless wealthy merchants.

Such a restaurant is so prosperous in business that it is getting better every day.

After seeing the plaque on the lintel, Gu Yunxi's mouth was filled with a smile, and he said to Leng Qingtang in a low voice:

"Husband, you can only eat and drink your food when you go in later, and I will handle everything."

Leng Qingtang smiled and stretched out her hand to shave her cheek, judo:

"I know it for my husband."

Before the two could pick up their steps, the runners had already ran out with a smile to solicit business:

"Oh, two guest officers, please inside and inside please."

These people are all bright-eyed characters. Seeing that Leng Qingtang and his wife are gorgeously dressed, with extraordinary bearing, and riding high horses, they must be rich and powerful.

Wiping a touch of the tabletop again, and the patron drew the towel board up his arms, and smiled flatly at the couple:

"You two, please sit down. If you want to eat or drink, even if you order the younger one."

Gu Yunxi looked sideways and saw that this location was the closest to the counter, so he settled down calmly and said:

"First, make a pot of tea, and then serve us a shabu-shabu, one plate of beef and lamb, two plates of seasonal vegetables, and then make three of your signature dishes. In addition, open altar osmanthus wine."

The dude nodded and laughed:

"Okay, please sit down for a while, guest officer."

The guy quickly turned around and quickly offered a pot of incense chips, filled the tea cups for both of them himself, and then went on to work.

Leng Qingtang took a sip of tea and asked Gu Yunxi:

"Miss, what are you going to do next?"

Gu Yunxi smiled, as if he was already on his chest, he turned his head and glanced at the shopkeeper on the cabinet who was immersing himself in the abacus beads. When he was back to Leng Qingtang, he wanted to sell it on purpose:

"Husband, don't worry, you will know when the pot comes up."

With little effort, all the dishes are available. The bone broth rolls in the shabu-shabu, and the aroma is over the face.

The condiments that go with shabu-shabu are nothing but a bowl of sesame sauce, a dish of green onion froth, a dish of coriander froth, and a dish of red oil.

There are also three special signature dishes: Crispy Chicken Stewed Bird's Nest, Pork Knuckle with Eight Treasure Sauce, and Shark Fin with Crab Meat. They are all exquisite and unique.

At the time of lunch, the guests in and out of the store, the sound of up and down the stairs is endless, which can bust more than a dozen young people in the hall.

I have to admire that the business of this Dongzhou restaurant is really prosperous.

Gu Yunxi took a few mouthfuls of food and began to look around. Xing's eyes blinked slyly, guessing that the opportunity had come.

After taking out a pack of ten-scented soup from his bag, he opened the several layers of oiled paper, and a strong smell of scent spread.

"What's the taste?"

"It smells so good, what kind of dish is this?"

The guests at the neighboring table smelled it first, and several people stopped their chopsticks one after another, looking around and looking.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi poured the creamy base material into the churning white soup.

The butter is decomposed by heat, and the redness of the spicy aroma gradually smears the white soup, which is like a gorgeous rose blooming to the extreme. A clear and oily pot of soup with a peculiar meaty aroma rises into the air with the smoke. , Wafted and released to every corner of the lobby, instantly overwhelming the taste of all dishes.

"Where is it so fragrant?"

"Come here, buddy, which dish is this?"

"I also want to know, give me a name, and I'll also call to have a taste."

The guests were all attracted by this alluring aroma, and no longer wanted to taste the wine and dishes on their table, there was a little restlessness on the scene.

Seeing that the little wife on the opposite side of the table was full of triumph, Leng Qingtang immediately reacted. He picked up a handful of lamb from the soup pot and put it into Gu Yunxi's plate, deliberately raising his voice by an octave:

"Lady, the taste of this ten-flavored soup is really wonderful. Come, the meat is cooked, you can taste it first."

"Thank you husband."

Gu Yunxi smiled, and from the corner of his eyes, he could see the guests from a few tables close to them with curious eyes.

Swallowing the lamb calmly, she and Leng Qingtang continued to eat, talk and laugh with each other:

"Husband, let's eat more quickly. After we finish eating, we can hurry. There are still important things to do today."

"Okay, don't worry the lady."

The fat guest at the Western Table, dressed in a barren costume, stood up and said Chinese with a dark accent, and kept beckoning to the cabinet:

"The shopkeeper is coming, what kind of pot is this? Give me one on this table too."

Hearing that the other tables started to follow suit, they called their buddies to order the shabu-shabu on Gu Yunxi's table.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is wearing an azurite-colored satin gown with eight bunches of flowers, the silk tassels on the waist are covered with sachet jade, and a lun cap on his head is a decent figure.

He is not too old for his age. He is a little short but straight and thin. With a kind smile, he walked quickly to Gu Yunxi's table, and respectfully gave her and Leng Qingtang a fist:

"The two distinguished guests are courteous, my surname is Jiao, the shopkeeper of this Wuzhou restaurant, dare to ask the distinguished guests what seasonings have they put in this shabu-shabu?"

Leng Qingtang thought of the lady's previous instructions, and didn't say much at this moment, just bowed his head to taste dishes and drink alcohol.

Gu Yunxi dropped his chopsticks, took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped his mouth unhurriedly, his eyelids tucked slightly, and his mouth was light:

"This is just a recipe for the soup pot base handed down by my husband's ancestors. Just because I was resting here, I ordered a shabu pot when I saw your house and put in a bag to taste it. If it disturbs Jiao's business, please take more Forgive me."

"Oh no, don't bother, don't apologize."

Shopkeeper Jiao kept waving his hands, his eyes spinning on the pot of red soup, his smile gurgling.

The guests at the neighboring table approached with a smile, said to Leng Qingtang, and asked:

"My husband, can you give me some of the soup in your hand?"

"This……"

Leng Qingtang pondered, so it was a difficult expression.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said:

"This Xiongtai, I'm really embarrassed. My husband and I took this soup stock when we went out, so we had to close it at sunset and send it to a store in Central Plains. I ordered the goods in advance, and there was no extra delivery. I'm really sorry."

The guests at the other table were a bit impatient and noisy:

"Oh, I said two, you guys don't have to shirk any more. How much do you cost for a packet of soup? I will buy you with the silver. You sell him and sell me, isn't it the same thing? People usually don’t love anything else, so they like something fresh to eat and drink. Tell me, how much money, be happy!"

Gu Yunxi recognized this opportunity, got up with a smile, and said, "

"That's not great, right? I'll sell you alone, and the number of soup bags in the whole bag is less than the number of orders. What can I do with the return?"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, whoever wants it, everyone buys it together, you should sell it?"

This guy salivates over the soup pot and will never give up unless he achieves his goal.

It didn’t matter what he said, the guests at other tables actually responded, raising their hands, digging out money bags, and shouting:

"I want too, give me a bag."

"And I."

"We are so crowded, we need two pots and two packets of soup."

Gu Yunxi frowned, but still reluctantly said:

"No matter what, our package of soup seems to be small, but it is actually made up of hundreds of precious spices collected from more than a dozen countries in Xiyi, Central Plains, and East China Sea. This is also a prosperous trading place, without me needing to say more. Everyone for the price of spices.

Well, getting acquainted here is also considered fate. My package of soup doesn’t raise the price. I sell it to everyone at cost price of five taels of silver ingots. What do you think? "

For these people with a head and a face, five taels of silver ingots are not too much expense, they are completely acceptable.

The man kept the silver ingot on the table without saying a word.

Gu Yunxi smiled and took the silver in his palm, and the curvature of his mouth deepened.

"This man is really refreshing, good, something for you."

With that, she took a copy of the primer from her bag and gave it to him.

If the man is a treasure, he puts the thing in front of his nostrils without removing the oil paper and smells it, and his face is full of surprise:

"It smells so good, the shopkeeper will give me a soup pot, two plates of lamb, two plates of beef, a plate of fresh mushrooms, and a jar of wine."

Upon seeing this, the guests rushed up and surrounded Gu Yunxi and Leng Qingtang, holding silver ingots in each hand, scrambling to pass them in front of the couple.

The crazy energy is completely worried that the soup will be bought by others first, but when it's my turn, it has been sold out:

"Give me a soup!"

"Give me first, I want two packs..."

Shopkeeper Jiao and his buddy were squeezed aside by the crowd. He half-opened his mouth, completely shocked.

There were too many people, Gu Yunxi simply raised his leg and stood on the chair, turned his head and said to Leng Qingtang:

"Husband, you come to check the cash. I'm responsible for distributing the soup."

"it is good."

Leng Qingtang was amused secretly while doing the same. He didn't expect to marry the little lady who entered the door not only with ingenuity, but also with cleverness when starting a business.

The little things of the weird elves are really lovely.

After a meal, the bag of ten-flavored soup that Gu Yunxi had brought was sold out for five taels of silver a pack.

In addition, the quantity of shabu-shabu, various fermented ferments and fine side dishes in Dongzhou Restaurant has doubled the usual amount.

Satiated with wine and food, Leng Qingtang called his buddy to settle the meal, took Gu Yunxi and a bag full of silver ingots, and got up to leave.

On the face, I saw the shopkeeper Feng rushing over and holding his hands, with a smile, blocking the path of the two of them. :,,
