Entering my nest

Member Cheng is Cheng Qing, member Sun is Sun Ping. They are originally from Xuanzhou on Jiangnan East Road. They said they heard that Luoyang was prosperous and came to visit and see if there were any business opportunities. They stayed at Li's Inn for half a month.

, eating, drinking and playing every day, not knowing what business to do.

On this day, two policemen came back from playing outside and met the policeman next door, Meng Xun.

Meng Xun handed over his hand from a distance: "Well, I haven't seen you for the past few days. Have you found a big business outside?"

Cheng Qing smiled and said: "Where is the big business? I just walked around the dock these two days to see what opportunities there are."

Meng Xun said: "If you walk more, there are always opportunities. By the way, there is a Yutangchun Restaurant not far away. I heard that it is under the name of Xuanfu Division. It specializes in selling two specialties. One is hot pot.

It's winter like this. There is a steaming pot in front of you. You can cut the fat lamb into thin slices, put it in the pot, and eat it with the sauce. I don't know how comfortable it is! There is also a roasted meat. There is also a stove in front of you.

The cooked meat will be grilled and it will have a different flavor. Look, it’s getting late, how about we go in and eat there today? The restaurant is newly opened, and I heard there are discounts!"

Cheng Qing and Sun Ping looked at each other, nodded and said, "That's fine, it just so happens that we didn't have dinner."

Meng Xun was overjoyed. He led the way to Yutangchun Restaurant.

This restaurant was first opened in Luoyang, and there is no semicolon in other places. Wang Xiaolie saw that there was no hot pot in winter, so he opened this restaurant. After all, it is a new thing, and it should make money.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were greeted by a waiter. We asked a few people if they wanted to watch some singing and dancing, and we took them to a small pavilion on the second floor.

This pavilion is very small, just enough for a table. There is a screen next to it, and you can go to the back to wash your hands and face.

The waiter sat down with a smile on his face. Then he asked: "Sir, how many plates of mutton slices do you want? How many plates of beef slices? How many plates of roasted beef and mutton?"

Meng Xun said: "To be honest with you brother, this is our first time here, so we are not familiar with everything. How should we order, and can you tell me the price?"

The waiter hurriedly said: "The simplest thing here is that the ingredients you eat are fresh. This pot is divided into two compartments. Cook the mutton on one side and the beef on the other. When the beef and mutton are cooked, there is a prepared small plate next to it for dipping.

You can eat it by dipping it. Put a grate on the charcoal basin over there, and when it is hot, you can grill it and eat it. Mix it with shredded green onions and grill it together. It is really delicious!"

Meng Xun asked: "How much meat is in a plate?"

The waiter said: "Almost one person can get two plates, each worth sixty cents. If you have a big appetite, you can order three plates."

Meng Xun shook his head: "With the three of us, isn't it just six dishes? We want to eat more kinds of meat, but we can't."

The waiter smiled and said, "If you order, you can have half a plate and he can eat half. The three of you can almost taste the whole thing."

Meng Xun raised his head suddenly and said, "That's right. Then some mutton and some beef, that's enough for six plates."

The boy said: "We also have radish, chrysanthemum and other vegetables. Would you like some too? Eat vegetables to relieve your tiredness."

Mr. Cheng smiled and said: "How can I get tired of eating a few plates of meat? Just serve meat!"

The boy agreed and left quickly.

Meng Xun shook his head: "Are you still tired of eating meat? This boy is confused!"

While they were talking, the meat was brought up. The boy took a charcoal plate and added charcoal under the hot pot and grate. He bowed and left with an offended tone.

Meng Xun studied the hot pot and discussed with Mr. Cheng and Mr. Sun how to use it. The grate next to it was simple, just put the meat on it and roast it.

After a while, the water in the hot pot began to boil. Meng Xun took a chopstick and cooked the mutton and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and shook his head: "This meat has no taste at all, how can you eat it? This store will only deceive people!"

"

After rinsing the meat, Mr. Cheng dipped it in the plate next to him. After eating, he said with a smile: "The store said that you should dip it in the ingredients on the plate when eating. The taste will naturally be different. Although this way of eating is weird, it also has a unique flavor!"

Meng Xun imitated the example of Cheng Yuanwai. After dipping it in the sauce, he found the delicious taste in his mouth and praised it profusely.

With the example of hot pot, after a little practice with the grate barbecue, I became very proficient in using it.

In winter, the weather in Luoyang is cold, so it is not suitable for eating barbecue outside, but it is just right to eat this small hot pot indoors. It is steaming, and several people sit together, talking, drinking and eating meat. Wouldn't it be happy?

?

After eating a few mouthfuls, Meng Xun called the boy and asked for a bottle of wine, and they drank and talked.

After finishing a plate of meat, Meng Xun wiped his mouth and said to the two officers: "Watching you two coming in and out every day, what's the fun?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "There is a lot of fun here in Luoyang. But there is a disadvantage. Nothing can keep you entertained. The singing and dancing of the singers and dancers in the restaurant are good. But if you watch any of the singers,

If you want to do something else, that won’t work.”

Meng Xun chuckled after hearing this. He lowered his voice and said, "You two still don't have enough money. As long as you have enough money, you can do anything!"

Mr. Cheng glanced at Meng Xun and said, "Just like Miss Tu Jiaojiao in Linglong Pavilion, she costs five guan to sing a song. If she spends enough money, can she still take off her clothes while singing? What if?

If you spend enough money, can you sleep with her for a while? Ms. Meng, how much did you spend on her?"

Meng Xun sighed, shook his head and said: "To tell you the truth, with my family background, Tu Jiaojiao is too expensive. All I have is just to listen to her sing a few more songs. If I do anything else,

I can only blame myself for being too poor."

Mr. Cheng smiled and said, "Come on! Is there anyone in Luoyang who actually slept with Tu Jiaojiao?"

Meng Xun couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He said: "You have underestimated Luoyang City! There are a few people in this city, not to mention Tu Jiaojiao. Anyone who sings can be easily caught by them as long as they take a fancy to them!

"

Member Cheng curled his lips: "Which members are there? There are still such heroic people in Luoyang City?"

Meng Xun sneered after hearing this, and counted on his fingers: "There are officials from Lu who are in the silk and satin business, officials in Peng who are in the gold and silver business, not to mention officials from Wu who are in the cotton business. These officials are all

My family is rich in gold and silver, and I can spend any amount of money on it. Once the money comes, why don’t the singers just obey?"

Cheng Yuanwai shook his head: "Anyway, we don't have that much money, and we can't imagine it."

Meng Xun lowered his head and ate a few pieces of meat, then asked: "So where do brothers go to play every day?"

The engineer said: "It's just eating and drinking. You can't win a lot of money in Han Si's gambling house in a day, so I stopped going after a few visits."

Meng Xun's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Do you like to gamble, as a member of the Communist Party of China?"
