The Three Kingdoms of Navigation

Chapter 13 Restaurant Hu

The next day, Sun Shao carried two pieces of horseshoe gold and went out with the guard Dunwu. He was ready to go to the market to familiarize himself with the situation and prepare for Zhou Xun in a few days. Dongshi is in the southeast corner of Wu County. I saw a long wall from afar. A door opened in the middle of the wall. The word "West Gate" was inscribed on the door with a seal book. Sun Shao took a look and thought it was a little funny. It looked like he had arrived at the West Gate Blowing Snow House.

"Young master." A voice came from behind. Sun Shao turned his head and looked at it. The handsome Zeng, who was as beautiful as a woman, rushed over, out of breath, but with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"Sister Qin, why are you so happy?" Dunwu frowned and said with a smile. Shuai Zeng is the distant cousin of the aunt Qin, the head chef. He is in the guard of the house. Because he is young and handsome, the rough of the soldiers jokingly called him Qin's sister. Although he was unhappy, he was not an opponent of Dunwu at all, so he had to swallow his anger. Hearing that Dunwu called him in front of the young master, he immediately changed his face and shouted angrily, "You are not very trustworthy. Last time you drank, you said you would never call again. Why did you shout again today?"

Dunwu blushed and pinched his nose and said no more. Although Shuai Zeng is not good at it, he can get food and drink from the east cook. For the guards who rarely have wine and meat all year round, they can't offend him too much. Otherwise, it will not be his turn to sacrifice teeth in the future.

Sun Shao smiled and said nothing. He knew the bad things between them. He did not care about it at all. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He still understands this truth. Besides, in the case of the future of Sun's house, it is valuable for these guards to stay in the house. He patted Shuai Zeng on the shoulder: "Have you sent the invitation?"

Shuai Zeng nodded repeatedly and laughed again: "It's delivered, it's delivered. The young master of the Zhou family came to pick it up in person and said a few words to me."

Dunwu curled his lips and said, "If I talk to you for a few words, I will make you happy like this?" With that, he glanced at Sun Shao and motioned Shuai Zeng not to say anything wrong in front of the young master.

"It's not unusual to talk to me. What's strange is what he asked." Shuai Zeng raised his head and then changed his smiling face: "Young master, he asked me what kind of people you have been dealing with recently and whether you have met any celebrities. I just thought about it. The young master has not been out of the house recently. How can there be any celebrities? But he didn't believe me and specially rewarded me with 200 yuan and asked.

Sun Shao raised his eyebrows and understood a little. It seems that Zhou Xun hasn't put down his heart and is going to check the way of his new song.

"Young master, have you learned any new tricks recently and beat him up?" Shuai Zeng said flatteringly. In his opinion, the only way for Sun Shao to win Zhou Xun is martial arts.

"No, I just played a song. He didn't hear the origin." Sun Shao smiled secretly and turned around and entered the market.

Dunwu and Shuai Zeng were stunned there, stunned, and they all doubted their ears: can the young master have the upper hand by playing the song?

People in the city are coming and going, squeezing the straight city. The tall market building stands at the crossroads of the city center. It is three stories high, and the top floor is an open drum pavilion on all sides, hanging a big drum. The opening and closing of the market in the morning and evening are all announced by hitting this drum. Several walls divide different kinds of markets into closed spaces, which are orderly and do not interfere with each other.

Sun Shao first went to the vegetable market and walked along the market. He inquired about the price of vegetables, especially fresh vegetables. It is mid-autumn, and the weather is not cold. There are many kinds of vegetables in the market, and the price is not too high. Then I turned to the slaughter market and inquired about the prices of various meats, which was regarded as experiencing the people's livelihood of the Han Dynasty. Different from the experience of the previous life, it is still relatively difficult to eat meat in the Han Dynasty. It is rare for ordinary people to eat meat several times a year. Compared with the cheap price of vegetables, the price of meat is ridiculously high, and the types are different. In the previous life, the meat was dominated by pork, but in this era, beef and mutton are the most expensive, followed by mutton, and pork. Dog meat, chicken, etc. are cheaper.

After visiting the vegetable market and meat market, Sun Shao went to Jin City. Of course, the gold market is not a place to sell gold, but a place to trade metal utensils. He walked around the kitchen and knew that the reason why there was no stir-frying these days was that the kettle in this era was too deep, suitable for cooking, but not suitable for stir-frying, so he needed to make a lighter iron pot.

I found a blacksmith's shop and explained to the shape and requirements of the iron pot to the blacksmith needed. Sun Shao's mouth was dry. The blacksmith's professional ethics were too strong, and he was afraid that he would be wrong. The things typed out were not enough to use, which delayed the customer's use. After asking in detail for a long time, Sun Shao was forced to draw a picture for him recently. He finally understood the sketch.

"Go, go to the wine market and quench your thirst by the way." Sun Shao waved his hand and said in a loud voice. Hearing this, Dunwu and Shuai Zeng immediately opened their eyebrows and smiled. They were secretly glad that they had come the right time today and could follow the young master to drink. Although you can steal some wine from the kitchen, the quantity is limited and you can't enjoy it.

The wine market is opposite the meat market. There are not only stalls specializing in selling wine, but also wine shops. In addition to selling wine, there are also some wine dishes such as salt beans for guests to sit down and have a few drinks in the store. Most of the people standing at the door to greet the guests were young and beautiful women, smeared with powder, dressed in flowers, and greeted the guests with a soft smile, which was no different from the restaurant in the previous life. What surprised Sun Shao was that there were blonde and blue-eyed Hu girls among these women.

Sun Shao did not know that Hu Nv had appeared in restaurants in the Han Dynasty since Zhang Qiantong passed through the Western Regions. There was a poem "laughing the restaurant Hu" in Yuefu poems, but he didn't expect that Hu Nv's footsteps could go so far and could be seen in Wu County in the southeast of the Han Dynasty.

Sun Shao, who was used to foreign beauties in his previous life, was surprised, and Dunwu and Shuai Zeng were not spared. The four eyes were almost not enough. They swept around the skin of Hu Xuebai in those restaurants. They were salivated. Needless to say, even Sun Shao felt ashamed. Before he could teach the two shameful guards a lesson, they had been dragged into a restaurant with the largest facade and the most guests. Those Hu girls were so enthusiastic that they didn't even have time to look at the name of the wine flag in front of the store before Sun Shao entered the door.

"Is this guest buying wine or tasting wine?" A well-dressed middle-aged woman came forward, just glanced at it, and immediately looked at Sun Shao's face.

"Buy wine and taste wine." Sun Shao smiled, his eyes swept over the woman's face, and immediately looked at the wall next to him. There is handwriting left by guests on the wall. Although there are not many good calligraphy, it is always better than this woman's makeup - although this woman only wears some slightly gorgeous makeup, Sun Shao is very uncomfortable when he sees the big white face and bright red lips, thinking of the geisha in the previous life. Although the women in the house also wear makeup, they are all light and not so thick.

The woman was used to seeing the guests. Seeing Sun Shao's expression, she was not angry. She politely led him to the rows of wine urn: "There are all the wines in our shop. You can taste it at your own convenience. It's not too late to make a decision to see which one suits your taste."
