Ma Hu walked into the hot pot restaurant with a few of his men, the hot pot restaurant was full of customers, and the private rooms upstairs were also full.
Because the store was full of seats, Sloppy and the others could only get their number plates and wait on the sidelines.
"Boss, it's so lively here!" one of Sloppy's subordinates couldn't help but said.
Sloppy nodded and said, "Yes!
Sloppy's number plate has already reached more than three hundred. Looking at the sign, Sloppy knows that today's hot pot is not available, and most of them can only join in the fun.
Many people in this store came for today's half-price hot pot, and many people came for the roasted whole lamb.
Sloppy heard a few people talking about it, saying that the boxes upstairs were reserved by some nobles from Kyoto.
"Yun'an, have you ever eaten roast whole lamb?" Wei Qiyu asked curiously.
Ji Yunan shook his head and said, "No."
Wei Qiyu was a little surprised and said: "You have never eaten lotus!"
Ji Yun'an smiled wryly. This roasted whole lamb was made by Lu Lin recently, and it seems to be kept a secret. He hasn't eaten it yet, but he has eaten wheat. It is said that it looks very good.
Wei Qiyu said expectantly: "What is this roasted whole lamb?" You will know what it is in a while. "
"I'm coming."
A roasted reddish sheep was carried to the table in front of the hot pot restaurant.
The head of the roasted lamb is pierced with big red flowers, and the body of the lamb is covered with green vegetable leaves. The originally inconspicuous vegetable leaves complement each other perfectly against the background of the roasted lamb.
No one in the shop had ever seen a whole roasted lamb, and there were exclamations one after another.
"Hey, it's really a whole roast lamb!" Wei Qiyu hit the palm with his hand, feeling a little excited.
It is said that there is only one roasted whole lamb. If you don’t buy this one today, you will have to wait until next month if you want to eat it. What's more, the family is urging him to go back. Whether he will still be here next month is uncertain.
Wei Qiyu's eyes turned left and right, and found that there seemed to be many competitors.
"This roasted whole lamb is a delicacy not found in Beijing." Wei Qiyu licked his lips.
Be quiet, everyone. This roasted whole lamb is the latest product of our store. Due to the scarcity of raw materials, this store only sells one a month. Presumably many customers here come here for this roasted whole lamb. There are too many monks and too little porridge, so only the one with the highest price will get it. , The starting price is one tael of silver. The shopkeeper standing on the high platform raised his voice.
"Two taels of silver." Just after the shopkeeper's voice, someone shouted.
"Two taels of silver, you just want to buy such a big roast lamb, five taels."
"Eight taels."
"Twenty taels."
"Fifty taels." Hearing that someone offered fifty taels, there was a burst of exclamation in the field. At the beginning of the bidding, there were some rich people from Sha County participating, and later it became the home of visitors from Kyoto. , There is a big difference between twenty taels and fifty taels, so when the quotation came out, it caused a burst of exclamation.
"Eighty taels." The guest who was shocked by fifty taels just now was overwhelmed by the offer of eighty taels.
Sloppy frowned, and glanced at Gao Jun, who was calmly quoting upstairs. The young man upstairs was dressed gorgeously and had an extraordinary bearing, which made Sloppy a little ashamed.
The appearance of the roasted whole lamb is indeed extremely attractive. Sloppy thought that if it was cheap, he could buy it to try something new. As a result, the price of this lamb quickly doubled dozens of times. , has become the home of several young masters of Kyoto. This fight is no longer about a sheep but about face.
In the end, the roasted whole lamb was photographed by Gao Jun of the Gao family at a price of eighty taels.
Gao Jun is the highest-ranking disciple among the Gao family's disciples who came this time. Gao Jun, who was able to photograph the roasted whole lamb, clasped hands with several guests from the surrounding capital, very proud.
The fifty taels of silver was the price Wei Qiyu bid. Afterwards, Gao Jun bid up to eighty taels of silver. Wei Qiyu thought it over and thought it best not to match Gao Jun, so he didn't bid again.
Many customers in the store were dumbfounded by the previous round of fighting between dragons and tigers.
Many guests started talking, and everyone was very excited.
Chen Xiaocai mixed in the crowd and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiaocai thought that this round of auction went so smoothly, the name of the Roasted Whole Lamb should be sold.
Originally, in order to keep the auction from being too bleak, Chen Xiaocai specially invited a few people to serve as trustees among the crowd. If everyone responded coldly, he would take it in by himself. It is the rich owner who spends eighty taels of silver to buy a sheep without blinking his eyes.
Sloppy came late, seeing that the auction was over, if he wanted to eat hot pot, he would not be able to make it for a while, so he took a few of his subordinates and withdrew first.
Coming out of the restaurant, Sloppy couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
"Master, I didn't expect that a sheep could be sold for so much money. It's almost as good as a bloody BMW."
Sloppy nodded, and said: "Yes." He only earned a few dozen taels of silver for his hard-working trip. This guy Lai made eighty taels of silver casually.
Sloppy thought he was someone special at first, but when he suddenly found out that a sheep can be sold for eighty taels of silver, he was a little discouraged. "I thought Sha County was very poor, but I didn't expect there to be so many rich people."
"The local people in Sha County are still very poor, but many of the sons and businessmen from Kyoto are rich!
Ma Hu glanced at the signboard of the hot pot restaurant, and his thoughts were ups and downs. There were rumors in Lin Zhen that Chen Ershao was a business genius. , There is a feeling of heaven beyond the sky.
After Gao Jun was able to photograph the roasted whole lamb, he very enthusiastically invited a few people he knew to try this roasted whole lamb together.
Wei Qiyu and Gao Jun also had some friendship, so they rubbed each other.
The taste of roasted whole lamb is full of color, fragrance, taste, and it is not ordinary delicious.
The few people from Kyoto are used to eating big fish and meat on weekdays, but the taste of roasted whole lamb still makes everyone feel very novel.
"I didn't expect this place to have such a special food."
"Eighty taels of silver is a bit more expensive, but it is worthwhile to try the delicacies that are not available in this capital." Gao Jun said somewhat proudly.
It is thanks to Brother Gao that we can eat such a delicacy, "Yes, this seasoning is probably the store's secret recipe, and I'm afraid it can't be eaten in other places.
"I didn't expect this mutton to be roasted, and it has a special taste. I usually eat stewed mutton at home. I didn't expect this mutton to taste so good when it was roasted."
Everyone surrounded Gao Jun and complimented him, which made Gao Jun very proud.
This roast lamb looks like a lot, but if it is shared by more than a dozen people, everyone will be full.
Everyone was a little bit unsatisfied, Gao Jun invited a few others to eat hot pot.
Wei Qiyu came out of the shop, a little excited, "The taste of this roasted whole lamb is really good!" I'm afraid that the nobles in the capital have never eaten it. The bones are all roasted and crispy, which is a pity. There were too many people, and they didn't get a few mouthfuls.
Ji Yun'an glanced at Wei Qiyu and said, "I see you have eaten a lot!" Several disciples of the Gao family stared at you.
Wei Qiyu smiled, and said with some disdain: "Those guys put on a show and pay attention to demeanor, but as a result, they ate less and were not convinced."
Ji Yun'an smiled and said: "He is a student of the prime minister, so naturally he has to pay attention to his manners, and you should also pay attention to it."
Wei Qiyu glanced at Ji Yun'an, and said: "I think you are calm and didn't eat a few mouthfuls, but it's also... your little husband will cook for you, and you don't need to compete with us."
The owner of this shop said that there is only one roasted whole lamb a month, but in Wei Qiyu's view, that is just a gimmick. With such a big sheep, not many people are willing to buy it. If you take the high-end route, you may be able to make more money.
Today's auction must have sold out the signboard of roasted whole lamb.
Ji Yun'an glanced at Wei Qiyu, and said, "You think too much, roasting a whole lamb, it's too extravagant to roast a whole lamb at once."
Wei Qiyu curled his lips, and said: "Who are you fooling, this sheep should only be around one tael of silver, and this Second Young Master Chen has earned dozens of taels casually! I heard that this Second Young Master Chen is the best at doing business. , It seems that it is indeed the case."
Ji Yunan smiled, and said, "Xiaocai is indeed very capable."
Wei Qiyu looked at Ji Yun'an, and said worriedly: "Your brother-in-law doesn't seem to be easy to mess with. I heard that he once killed a tiger and subdued Lu County magistrate. Your second brother-in-law is also very powerful. It is said He is a merchant with a hidden knife in his smile, if you marry someone else's young master, you must take care of yourself!"
Ji Yun'an said helplessly: "Where is it so exaggerated as you said!" Chen Xiaomi actually had a good temper, but the fact that the other party killed a tiger seemed to be true.
The news that Chen Xiaocai sold a roast sheep for eighty taels of silver also spread to the military camp.
The marriage of Ji Yun'an and Chen Maimai brought the relationship between the patrol battalion and the county government a lot closer. Chen Xiaocai's business is booming, and the people in the patrol battalion also feel proud.
"Mr. Liu, Second Young Master Chen is making money too fast."
"Speaking of it, the people from Kyoto are still too rich."
"Mr. Liu, I heard that this roasted whole lamb is a rare delicacy in the world. If you eat it once, you will die in peace."
"Mr. Liu, I heard that this roasted whole lamb tastes better than the imperial meal."
Liu Yun glanced at the speaker angrily, and said, "It's as if you have eaten imperial food."
The soldier who spoke smiled awkwardly. Of course, he had never eaten imperial food, but everyone said so, so he just learned it.
"Mr. Liu, when do you think we will get a whole roasted lamb to eat?" Liu Yun glanced at the speaker angrily, and said, "That thing costs eighty taels a piece. The whole year's budget goes into it."
The old soldier who spoke smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I'm just talking casually."
Liu Yun frowned, and thought to himself: More and more people have come to Sha County recently. These people seem to have come for the peace talks between the two countries. This roasted whole lamb is rumored to be miraculous, and it is almost becoming immortal meat.
"Boss, Chen Ershao is making too much money. I thought he would lose everything in the hot spring project."
Liu Yun thought to himself: It's not Chen Xiaocai who is great, but Lu Lin. This roasted whole lamb was made by Lu Lin. However, because Lu Lin is an official, it's hard to come forward, so he gave all the credit to Chen Xiaocai. side dishes.
"The hot spring project of Lu Lin is indeed too expensive." Liu Yun couldn't help muttering.
Several soldiers nodded quickly, thinking that although Chen Xiaocai made a lot of money, he also spent a lot, and he was too frugal.
