Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 208 The information station in Fengwei Building
Chang Wei laughed when he heard this.

"Very good, very good. I ate war meals that were clear and watery for many days in the army, and my mouth almost felt like a bird. It just so happened that I came to your Fengwei Restaurant to entertain guests today, so I could have a good meal. .”

"By the way, Shopkeeper Niu, the person I'm hosting today at your Fengwei Restaurant is a distinguished guest. You must not be careless in preparing the food."

"Otherwise, if I neglect you, I won't be able to protect you."

Shopkeeper Niu heard this and said with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chang. I will go to the back kitchen to keep an eye on the cook in person for you later. I will not let any accidents happen."

Hearing this, Chang Wei nodded and said with a smile on his face.

"That's good, go and make arrangements!"

"All the good wine and food will be served to the top. If today's distinguished guest eats well, he will be rewarded by you."

After saying this, Chang Wei turned to his follower Laifu and said.

"Laifu, go to Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion, invite some of their top names, and charge them to my account."

"It's not easy to invite the Chief Counselor to the banquet. Don't neglect it."

Hearing this, Chang Wei nodded and said.

"Don't worry, Ling Cui, I understand!"

Seeing this, Chang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he walked to the second floor.

After the shopkeeper Niu sent the person to the private room, he turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen to order the dishes.

When passing by a boy, he lowered his voice and said something.

"Room A and Three, there may be some news. Keep an eye on it."

Hearing this, the waiter nodded calmly, carried a tray, and walked quickly towards the second floor, shouting as he walked.

“Here comes Kung Pao Chicken~”

The waiter shouted something, came to the door of a private room, and knocked on the door gently. After the door was opened from the inside, the waiter walked in, brought the dishes ordered by the guests to the table, and then walked out of the private room.

The boy looked around, and after confirming that no one was there, he ducked into an empty guest room.

The guest rooms are very elegantly furnished, with many exquisite decorative ornaments.

But he didn't pay attention to this. He quickly lifted up the carpet on the floor, opened the secret door hidden under the carpet, and got in.

He walked slowly to the partition corresponding to Room A[-], then put his ear against the wall, slowed down his breathing, and listened to the sounds in Room A[-].

That's right, this Fengwei Building is one of the intelligence stations installed in the capital by the Ming Dynasty.

Affiliated to the Third Division of Jinyiwei!
This is Jin Yiwei's layout in the capital.

The reason why Fengweilou's business is so good is that Fengweilou has mastered a special seasoning required for cooking - MSG!
In this era where people's tongues have not been poisoned by technology and harsh labor, the umami flavor that MSG can bring can be described as the ultimate enjoyment.

Every time the chefs at Fengweilou add a little more to their cooking, the dishes will taste much more delicious.

After the guests ate it, they really couldn’t stop eating it!

Because you can't find such a taste anywhere else.

……

Chang Wei walked into the private room and sat for a while.

Guessing that the time was almost up, he turned around and left the private room and went to the hall of Fengwei Building, preparing to welcome the chief counselor he had invited to the banquet today.

Chang Wei didn't have to wait long before he saw a group of people walking on the street.

A man with a slightly rich figure was riding on a strong horse, surrounded by several guards, swaggering towards Fengwei Building.

This person is the distinguished guest Chang Wei wants to entertain, Yongfeng, the commander of the Eight Banners New Army.

He has a very high status. He is a Baylor from the Palace of Prince Li, and is the half-brother of the contemporary Prince Li.

Although he is just a staff leader now, in terms of status, he is also a very important figure in the Eight Banners New Army.

When Chang Wei saw Yongfeng coming, he quickly walked out of the gate of Fengwei Building and trotted forward to meet him.

He came to Yongfeng's horse, knelt down with a thud, kowtowed, and spoke.

"This slave has met Lord Beile. Good luck to you, Lord Beile!"

Yongfeng was riding on horseback, glanced at Chang Wei, nodded lightly, and said.

"It's autumn, the ground is cold, get up quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Wei stood up from the ground with a flattering face and said with a smile.

"I'm really grateful that Lord Beile can attend the banquet today. I will definitely make arrangements for you and never let you down."

Hearing this, Yongfeng smiled and said.

"Ben Beile has heard people say for a long time that the Fengwei Restaurant opened in Bada Hutong has excellent dishes."

"Since you invited me today and Ben Beile is free, it doesn't hurt to come and have a try."

Chang Wei heard this and said with a slave look on his face.

"Don't worry, Master Beile. The food at Fengwei Restaurant is indeed good. I have tasted it. It is precisely because I have tasted it that I want Master Beile to have a taste. Otherwise, how could I dare to bother Master Beile?"

Hearing this, Yongfeng nodded with approval.

"Yes, yes, you are a thoughtful guy."

"I didn't take care of you in vain in the camp!"

Yongfeng, the counselor, was Chang Wei's Shangguan, and Chang Wei also received a lot of care from Yongfeng during this period.

I skipped a lot of training!I stole a lot and was lazy.

Without Yongfeng, Chang Wei would definitely not be able to escape these trainings.

Chang Wei led the way with a smile on his face and spoke as he walked.

"Master Beile, please!"

The group entered the restaurant and went straight to the private room on the second floor.

As soon as Yongfeng sat down, Chang Wei poured tea for him with his own hands very attentively, and then said.

"Master Beile, please sit down first. I just sent someone to Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion to invite some girls. I think they will arrive soon."

Yongfeng nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then nodded.

"The tea is good!" "Chang Wei, please sit down too! Don't bother, just rest and wait for the food to be served!"

After hearing this, Chang Wei sat down, but still opened his mouth to introduce Yongfeng to some of Fengweilou's specialty dishes, which made Yongfeng's mouth water.

Finally, when it came to good wine, Chang Wei said with an afterthought.

“Apart from the food, the drinks in this Fengwei restaurant are also outstanding!”

"Mellow and refreshing, it is shipped from Guizhou, authentic Kweichow Moutai Town Moutai."

Chang Wei said.

"This wine is very good. Lord Beile, you can have a try."

In fact, in this era, Moutai was not very famous.

But Zhu Jing'an likes to drink Maotai, and often uses Maotai as a drink to reward his subordinates in public.

Then there was such a trend among the Ming army.

As time went by, the news that Zhu Jing'an liked to drink Moutai spread throughout the world.

The gentry and businessmen under the Ming Dynasty all wanted to have a taste of what Maotai tasted like and why it was favored by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, some people couldn't help but be curious and wanted to try it to see what the taste of the Ming thief prince was.

Because Moutai tastes really good, I can’t control myself after tasting it!
Now many restaurants in the capital have begun to sell Moutai.

Yongfeng said with astonishment on his face after hearing this.

"Is it the Maotai that the Ming thief prince has always loved?"

Chang Wei nodded.

"Exactly!"

Hearing this, Yongfeng clapped his hands and said.

"Hey, that's good!"

"Ben Beile has heard people say that this wine is good, but he has never tasted it. I just want to try it this time. Ben Beile wants to see what kind of wine the prince of the Ming Dynasty drinks!"

These days, there is also celebrity effect.

Although Zhu Jing'an and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were mortal enemies, he still had considerable influence on the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

Not to mention Mr. Baylor like Yongfeng, even Qianlong, after learning that Zhu Jing'an liked Maotai, ordered someone to bring some Maotai and tasted it secretly.

Nothing more than pure curiosity!

Without letting Yongfeng wait long, Laifu returned to Fengwei Building with several top names from Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion.

Seeing this, Chang Wei spoke.

"Master Beile, you choose first!"

Yongfeng was not polite. He took the two beauties into his arms with a big hand and rubbed them for a while.

It only made the two beauties giggle.

These women are all frequent visitors to the sex scene, so they are definitely not embarrassed.

Chang Wei also picked one.

The remaining girls were picked by Laifu and Yongfeng's entourage.

Not long after, shopkeeper Niu from Fengweilou personally led people into the private room to deliver food.

He offered a very polite toast to Yongfeng and Chang Wei.

"Master Beile's visit to the shop really brings glory to the shop. I have invited you to this banquet today. I hope Lord Beile will eat well and drink well."

"If you enjoy your meal, I hope you'll come to take care of your business more often in the future."

"The younger one will drink this glass of wine first, Lord Beile can do as he pleases."

Shopkeeper Niu, as one of the leaders of Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei in the capital, was once a veteran of the Tiandihui who had been running in the world for decades.

He has long been trained to handle things in an all-round way.

Of course you won’t treat your guests poorly!
Seeing this, Yongfeng nodded with a smile.

"I have long heard that the boss Niu of Fengweilou is a wonderful man. Now that I have seen it, it turns out to be true."

"light and spacious!"

Although Yongfeng was used to flattery on weekdays, he was still very happy about Shopkeeper Niu's show of kindness.

Shopkeeper Niu toasted with a glass of wine and resigned.

He came to the private room today just to say hello. It was his first meeting, and if he stayed longer, it would be in vain.

Shopkeeper Niu would not do such a mindless thing!
After Shopkeeper Niu left in a very sensible manner, Yongfeng and Chang Wei also started eating and drinking.

After taking a bite of fried shredded potatoes, Yongfeng's eyes lit up.

"It is said that the food at Fengweilou is delicious. Now that I have tasted it, the rumors are true. The cooking skills are much better than those of the imperial chefs in the palace."

"A simple dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes can give you a different flavor. Yes, it's really good!"

Yongfeng actually took care of the imperial dining room's face by saying this.

If he were to tell the truth, compared with the dishes at Fengweilou, the food cooked in the imperial dining room was no different from pig food.

Seeing this, Chang Wei spoke.

"As long as Master Beile likes it!"

Yongfeng nodded, and then moved his chopsticks to other dishes...

After eating a few bites of food and a sip of wine, Yongfeng's face was filled with approval and his hands never stopped moving.

After a while, we were full of wine and food.

Yongfeng threw away his chopsticks, holding the wine glass with one hand, sipping the wine, and holding the beauty in his arms and rubbing her up and down.

A look of wantonness and enjoyment.

After burping, Yongfeng narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Tell me, why are you so attentive to me today, arranging banquets, and arranging beauties? What's the matter?"
