.    Chapter 356: Sky-high Price Food

    ¡°Obviously, the Han family was very proud to have the shopkeeper of Tiantianju apologize in person.  Update ihong. Tiantianju is the property of the Zhen family, which almost everyone in the Han Dynasty does not agree with. Now that he can show off his power on the "turf" of the Zhen family, Han Er waved it off pretending to be generous.  After all, now that the Zhen family has entered Xuzhou, it would be best not to fight with them.

    Little girl Mi Zhen saw that there was no excitement, and Han Er also ordered some delicacies. She couldn't help but feel a little greedy. She deliberately coughed twice, which attracted the attention of the shopkeeper, and said, "Give me two plates of that seafood too. Let me try it."  If it's delicious, I'll bring it back next time." Mi Zhen said, and the shopkeeper naturally wouldn't refuse. He nodded and asked someone to go to the kitchen to add more dishes immediately.

    The farce paused, and Zhen Yao continued to deal with the rare sea crabs and shrimps in front of him. Although the steamed ones were not as tasty as the fried ones, they were bought with a lot of money. It would be terrible if he didn't eat them or they were cold.  It's no longer worth it.

    While looking at the street below through the window sill, Zhen Yao talked softly with Xu You. Zhen Yao didn't notice that the poet had already sent Mi Zhen and the Han family the 'delicious food' they wanted.  However, the portions of the food served were different. Mi Zhen only had two small plates of seafood, but she agreed with the little girl's idea of ??trying something new. After all, she felt sorry for the money if it was too much.

    And there was a lot of food served to Han Er. Not only were they served according to the food on Zhen Yao's table, but the portions were more than twice as much as those on Zhen Yao's table.  Girl Mi Zhen was very thoughtful. She rolled her eyes and realized that this was the store manipulating Han Er. She didn't care about trying something new at the moment, but she pursed her lips and smiled.

    Mi Zhen smiled, and Zhen Yao, who was sitting "back to back" with her, heard it first. He turned around curiously and saw that although the little girl was smiling secretly, her eyes were looking at Han Er's desk not far away.  Following the little girl's gaze, Zhen Yao suddenly became happy.  After eating this meal with a table full of "exorbitantly expensive delicacies", Han would probably vomit three liters of blood without stopping.

    It seems that he has not become a slaughtered sheep. I saw many people drooling over the delicious food on the table." Han Er couldn't be more proud. He snorted twice and picked up the claws of a sea crab with chopsticks.  After one bite, the claws of the crab were broken, but his teeth were not healed either. Han Er dropped his chopsticks in pain and held half of his teeth with his left hand, screaming that it hurt.

    "Hehe, my stomach hurts from laughing." The Han family made a fool of themselves in public. The happiest girl was Mi Zhen. She covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing, but in the end she couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.  .

    Mi Zhen took the lead in laughing, and others who could hold it back also laughed. Even Zhen Yao and Xu You shook their heads and smiled in silence.  The Han family was immediately embarrassed and snorted angrily, laughing?  Does Ben have a toothache today?  No matter how much you laugh, you will never taste such delicious food.  If you dare to laugh again, I will prevent you from leaving Tancheng."

    This sentence was said to another table of diners, but the other person was not an ordinary person coming to eat on the second floor. He didn't care at all about the Han family's shy and angry words. He smiled when he should and ate when he should.  At this moment, the girl Mi Zhen, who had had enough laughter, raised her chopsticks and said, "I don't know how to eat even if I have something to eat. The second brother of the Han family, let me teach you."

    Logically speaking, Mi Zhen had never eaten seafood before. How could she know how to eat it correctly?  However, the little girl is very thoughtful and had secretly watched Xu Youchi's movements before that.  Xu You imitated Zhen Yao's movements. Although it was clumsy, it was much better than biting hard.  No, the little girl simply picked out the crab meat and put it in her mouth, not forgetting to look back at the end.

    Originally, the joke was over after seeing this, but when Zhen Yao was about to destroy the 'food' in front of him, two more warriors came up together.  One person walked towards Mi Zhen, and the other walked towards Winter Holiday II.

    The chef walked towards Mi Zhen and stood aside respectfully. He waited until Mi Zhen had eaten the shrimps in her hands before she said, "This restaurant owner said that even if they are provided by the restaurant, these plates of seafood are  'Please pay the price in advance.  "

    "Oh?" Mi Zhen was unhappy when she heard that the restaurant had to pay the bill first, but when she saw the Han family's desk on the other side, she forgot to worry about these trivial matters. How much is the total food?  "

    Seeing that Mi Zhen was so kind, the minister smiled and replied, "It's not much, only twenty gold."  "

    "Twenty gold?" Mi Zhen felt a pain in her flesh when she heard this and frowned at the same time.  It's not that the price is bad. When the food was served, Mi Zhen had already calculated the price of the dishes in her mind. The total was twenty-four gold.  Mi Zhen prides herself on not being able to count, but now the store only charges thirty gold, so the store naturally skims off the missing four taels of gold.

    Mocking her chin, Mi Zhen looked back at the servant standing by her side. The latter shook his head in embarrassment, obviously not carrying so much money.  He glanced at the priest a little evasively, and then smiled. "My little girl doesn't have enough money. Can I send someone to get it from home?"  Don't worry, I never eat for free.  "

    The priest shook his head and said:Our shopkeeper has said that there is no need to go to such trouble. The Mi family just needs to eat and drink enough. Naturally, we at Tianranju will send someone to settle the bill at the Mi family.  "

    "That's it," Mi Zhen rolled her eyes. Unexpectedly, the other party already knew her identity, so she reluctantly nodded and said, "And just when Mi Zhen was about to say more, the Han family's pig-killing cry came from the side.

    "What do you mean? It costs three hundred gold to eat the food in front of me?" Han stopped eating at this time. He pointed at the food on the table and exclaimed, "Is your store easy to bully?"  I dare to offer a hundred gold price for this.  "

    "The food in our 'Tianranju' is clearly priced." The chef opened the cookbook in his hand, then pointed to the food on the fourth and fifth pages and said that these can only be eaten in our store.  The price of the 'unparalleled taste in the world' is naturally not low. But let's take a look, can our store count?"

    Han angrily pulled over the menu, his face getting darker and darker as he read each one. He was now deliberately being a fool by the store and made a fool of himself by serving plates of food.  With a look of resentment in his eyes, he simply threw away the recipe in his hand and said that he didn't know the recipe. Anyway, the food in front of him is not worth a hundred gold, so I won't give even one gold."

    "That's enough." At this moment, the shopkeeper of Tancheng's Tiantianju came up again and said that there was absolutely no discrepancy in the price of the vegetables he had set.  But where does the food on this table come from?  It was caught from the East China Sea in Donghai County. Just hiring a boat would cost a lot of money.  "

    "While making a living at sea, you often encounter strong winds and strong l¨¤ng. To be honest, although the shop has only been preparing for this business for more than a few months, four ships have been sunk by strong winds at sea. Not to mention others,  Are these four ships and the lives of the people on board not worth the price? Even if they return to shore safely, they still have to be sent to the city, which is a huge expense. "

    "Besides that, you may not think so. These dogs are very expensive and can easily die when they land on shore. If you want to transport them alive and keep them in a restaurant, the cost is also not low. In fact, Ling Ling always always  All in all, although the price of food is high, I don't earn much in 'Tianranju'. If you pay three hundred gold, I won't earn as much as a jar of ten-year-old wine."

    "Ah, is this 'seafood' business so troublesome?" Mi Zhen was still worried about Xiao Jiujiu, but when she heard what the shopkeeper said, she was immediately shocked. Some people died in Haikou just because of the food. I won't do it in the future.  Eat it, don¡¯t eat it.  "

    When the shopkeeper and Mi Zhen said this, Han Er felt that he did not suffer any loss from eating this delicious meal, but rather took advantage of it.  Seeing that this natural person had to go to great lengths to get the food, but in the end he only made a hundred percent of the selling price. Even Han, who had always been a playboy, could not bear the expense. It was not cost-effective to waste manpower and material resources.

    "That's good, I'll be generous." Han thought this and felt balanced in his heart. He also thought that it was impossible to live for free in this 'natural residence', so he immediately said that he didn't have enough cash.  You can also send someone to get it from my house.  "

    "I'm afraid that's not appropriate," Han originally thought that the shopkeeper would say yes again and again, but he didn't expect that after he thought for a while, he frowned and said that the credit transaction may not be appropriate for the business we do.  What's more, the debt is three hundred gold, which makes it difficult for me as the shopkeeper.  "

    Hearing this, Han, who had calmed down, shouted angrily: "What do you mean?"  I gave you credit and asked you to pick it up from my house. Do you understand?  What's more, why can that girl Mi Zhen just eat and drink?  "

    Zhen Hai, the shopkeeper, grinned when he heard this. The Mi family only ate dozens of gold. Naturally, we can still afford it, not to mention the people of the Mi family, we will not embarrass the shop.  Han, do you think this is feasible?  I'll order someone to get the pen and ink. Please write a note saying that you owe our "Tian Tian Ju" three hundred gold for food.  With the written evidence, I can send someone to the house to ask for it.  "

    Zhen Hai's words can be regarded as an angry move to squeeze out Han, but now that he is suffering a loss, Han has to nod and say since the shopkeeper insists on this, why not just set up a written receipt, lest anyone say that I am a freeloader and bully the market.  "

    Zhen Hai smiled and nodded in agreement, beckoning someone to bring him pen and ink, obviously he was well prepared.  Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of me, no matter how unwilling I feel, I have to get through today's test first.  At that moment, he gritted his teeth and picked up a pen to start writing documents. After Zhen Hai's reminder, he wrote down the date and pressed his fingerprints at the same time. The face of this young man from an aristocratic family has been lost today.

    Zhen Hai shook the papers in his hand with satisfaction. At the end of the day, he wanted to compliment Han. I think Young Master Han is not in the mood to eat it. Someone, come and pack these 'delicacies' for Young Master Han.  "

    After saying these words, the small number of people on the second floor burst into laughter again, but the Han family did not refuse and asked the servants around them to pack up the food and take it away.  But this is also a reasonable thing. After all, no one who buys three hundred gold will throw it away casually.

    After the Han family left in despair, Zhen Hai walked to Zhen Yao's side, bent down and said to Zhen Hai that he had met the third young master.  "Although the voice was low, the surrounding people??You and Mi Zhen also listened.  Xu You was naturally silent, but Mi Zhen was different. She turned around and stared at Zhen Yao with eyes wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

    "Okay, don't make any noise." Zhen Yao waved his hand, pointed at the seafood on the table, and said, you really got these for me, very good, very good.  Let me ask you, are these foods really worth hundreds of dollars?  "

    When asked about this, it seemed a bit secret. When Mi Zhen considered whether to listen, Zhen Hai said that he would not hide the young master. Although these 'seafood' is expensive, the capital is about ten gold.  "In front of Zhen Yao, not to mention Zhen Hai, even his father Zhen Fu would not dare to tell a lie. The amount quoted at this moment will naturally not be false.

    "Only ten gold?" Zhen Yao nodded slowly after hearing this. This amount is considered to be more 'reasonable', but Mi Zhen obviously didn't have enough brain power. She looked at the food residue on Zhen Yao's table and thought of Han Er just now.  The table is full of food, and the cost is only 11% of the selling price, so out of the 300 gold, I have made a full 270 gold.

    Zhen Hai also turned to look at Mi Zhen at this moment, nodded and said, Mi, what the minister said just now about going to the house to settle the bill was just a joke. If you want to come in the future, just come here.  "

    "This, this is okay." Although Mi Zhen has a bit of a strong temperament, she is still a very responsible girl. How can she do anything like freeloading, so she must refuse immediately.  However, Zhen Hai's last words made Mi Zhen put aside her current worries. The eldest brother of Tiantianju already had a stake in it, so he could naturally spend as much as he wanted in his restaurant.  "

    "Eldest brother has also invested in 'Tiantianju'?" This news was the most surprising to Mi Zhen. Firstly, as 'Tiantianju' is the signature of Zhen's firm, anyone who wants to try it will encounter obstacles; secondly,  The eldest brother from the family actually kept it secret, and it was a shame that he came to inquire about the news from him today.

    When Zhen Yao heard what Zhen Hai said, he thought about it briefly and understood that he had said that he would completely take over the Mi family's business, and the Mi family would pay monthly dividends in the form of shares.  Obviously, this ¡®Tianranju¡¯ is the beginning and touchstone of the cooperation between the two firms.

    "It turns out that the eldest brother didn't sell this place, but invested in the newly built 'Tianranju'." Mi Zhen also figured it out at this moment. Before the restaurant was built here, it was the Mi family's shop. Now it is just a change of livelihood. At the moment  He stuck out his tongue and said naughtily, "I thought 'Tiantianju' was trying to compete with my Mi family's wine shop for business, but I didn't expect it was my own."  "

    At that moment, Mi Zhen revealed the purpose of coming here. She didn¡¯t come to ¡®Tian Tian Ju¡¯ for the delicious food, nor for the novelty.  Instead, he felt that his family's wine shop in the city had a competitor, so he thought of spying on the enemy. However, when he encountered something like Han's, he almost forgot his purpose.

    Seeing Mi Zhen looking like a little girl, Zhen Yao shook his head and smiled and said Mi Zhu is really lucky to have you, hahahahaha." After laughing, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. When Zhen Hai saw Zhen Yao leaving,  Also follow him down.

    After coming out of the restaurant, Zhen Yao did not forget to pay a visit to Sun Qian's home. When Sun Qian saw Zhen Yao making a trip in person to inform him to visit Master Zheng tomorrow, his sense of presence in his heart suddenly surged to the top.  He was even more enthusiastic when talking to Zhen Yao, and even agreed that as long as Zheng Xuan did not prevent him from becoming an official, he would definitely return to Wuji with Zhen Yao.

    One day later, Zhen Yao selected more than twenty soldiers around him, took some gifts, and took Xu You and Sun Qian out of the city to Zheng Xuan's residence.  Although the place where Zheng Xuan lived was not deep in the mountains and old forests, after leaving the city, there was a mountain road besides the official road. After walking for an hour, Zhen Yao saw the faint smoke rising from the forest, and at the same time he could see the shadow of one or two stone rooms.

    "Master Zheng, our student Sun Qian came to visit." Since he was not Zheng Xuan's disciple, although he accepted Zheng Xuan's advice, he could only call himself a 'student' instead of a 'disciple'.  But even so, Sun Qian was very satisfied. He walked forward quickly, knocked on the wooden door, whispered something, and stood quietly outside the house waiting.

    "Come in, this old man's humble house is too simple to accommodate this distinguished guest." A healthy response came from inside the house. Although the person did not come out, it seemed that he had already arrived. It was not only Sun Qian who came outside the house, but also others.

    "Zhen Yao, a junior, came to visit Master Zheng." Zhen Yao didn't take it seriously at all. He followed Sun Qian into the house and said that there is no distinction between high and low status here, only profound and short knowledge.  "

    Although Zheng Xuan shied away from his official position several times, he still bowed very politely when he met the Han officials and said, "Old man Zheng Xuan, I have met Zhou Mu."  "This move made Zhen Yao's eyes light up. He does not rely on his talent to be arrogant and does not follow others' opinions. This is a model for everyone in the generation.

    Although his opinion of Zheng Xuan was higher, Zhen Yao was still a little surprised when his identity was revealed by Zheng Xuan. He immediately asked Zheng Xuan, "Do you know me?"  "

    "We didn't know each other before, why don't we get married now?" Zheng Xuan seemed to be in a bad mood, but it was a rare openness.Just a little joke.

    Zhen Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, bowed and said, "Why do we need to have known each other before?" "Junior has learned a lesson." With Zhen Yao's current status, he can treat Zheng Xuan as a junior, which shows that Zhen Yao is also extremely polite.

    Zheng Xuan's eyes also lit up, and he nodded and said, "It's no wonder we have known each other before." It seems that the rumors in the world are that Zhou Mu is a genius with both civil and military skills.  Quotes are used to earn fame. In the past, it didn't matter if you did them, but now it's a bit embarrassing.

    The old man and the young man kept chatting, but Sun Qian, who was taking the lead in the middle, was thrown aside. It was only after half a cup of tea that Zheng Xuan suddenly realized that the old man was so busy chatting that he forgot that the younger Sun family was here.  I haven¡¯t seen you for a few months. Come and let me take an exam to see if you have lost any knowledge during these days."

    "Master Zheng, it's okay to ask." Sun Qian thought that Zheng Xuan had been left alone for so long, and that was his punishment. He brought Zhen Yao here without even saying hello to anyone who asked him to.  Not daring to delay at the moment, he bowed quietly and waited for Zheng Xuan to come up with the test questions.
