Chapter 77 Night Talk

In the backyard room, Yuwen Wen accompanied his wife Yuchi Chifan for dinner. He just beat the big guys in the front yard and ate some. Now, after finishing his work, he returned to the backyard, and accompanied his wife to the second session. △,

"Erlang, Jilang is still in the mansion, I'd better go back..." Yuchi Chifan said. Today, Yuwen Wen was going to talk about things at Wuweizhai, and brought her together, and asked someone to arrange a guest room and say that he would spend one night at Wuweizhai.

"Jilang is accompanied by a wet nurse, don't worry, Sanniang." Yuwen Wen took a bite of the dish and said with a smile, "Wuweizhai is its own industry. You, the mistress, have to come and see, right?"

Yuchi Chifan still couldn't let go of his son. She took good care of Jilang since he was born. Although she was always taken care of by the wet nurse at night, she was still a little worried now that she was not in the mansion.

"Look, I frown and even wrinkles come out. Besides, I can't take the lead in breaking the ban for my husband now, right?"

Yuwen Wen was not arrogant. His several night trips after taking office were all because of official business. Although the curfews in ancient cities from the perspective of modern people were unreasonable, after starting to manage the city, he found that the curfews were really helpless.

Just say what else can you do at night, let alone use barbecue stalls and skewers to enrich your nightlife. These things are not affordable for ordinary people. As for night entertainment such as KTV, big health care, etc., it is completely unrealistic.

Nightlife must be supported by economic strength. In the inequality city like Xiyang City, Bazhou, there are so many consumer populations. Other factors are the second. The most troublesome thing is public security.

Nowadays, the lighting conditions at night are poor. If there is no electricity, you don’t think of street lights everywhere, so it’s dark everywhere. Don’t say you can light a candle for public lighting. Modern candles are products of the oil industry, and ancient candles were not cheap.

It is easy to cause trouble when igniting a ignition, and the city burns the flames, so at night, there are only sporadic lanterns in the city, which are naturally poorly illuminated. The darkness is everywhere, so the night warriors are rampant. The only way is to curfew.

The city gates are closed to prevent thieves from entering and leaving. There are people on duty at the entrances of each street. Except for the patrol team, anyone who appears on the street has problems. Unless it is for official duties or seeking medical treatment to save people, the rest are all criminal suspects.

Seeing Yuwen Wen say this, Yuchi Chifan hesitated for a moment and still questioned. She said what to do if the diners who went to Wuweizhai to eat wine, and what to do if the shopkeepers who came to discuss business.

"So I want to take you out and have a look. Wuweizhai has many guest rooms, so the shopkeepers naturally stayed in the guest room." Yuwen Wen, "As for other diners, they will inform you half an hour before the curfew."

"I will clear the scene after one incense stick. If I don't leave, I just want to make trouble, so I will naturally be treated by someone."

Yuchi Chifan nodded when she heard this. She knew that Wuweizhai was her own property, but she didn't feel any practical except for checking the accounts. Moreover, even the account book was brought to the mansion by the shopkeeper. If my husband hadn't brought her out today, I wouldn't know the specific situation of Wuweizhai.

"Will we spend the night here give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of?" Yuchi Chifan thought of a key question again. She knew that someone lurked in the city, not only trying to be unfavorable to his husband, but also came to Yang Lihua, a side room.

"It's okay, Wuweizhai is not a thatched house with air leakage everywhere, and the yard we live in is even more vigilant."

Yuchi Chifan nodded and picked up the bowl to continue eating. The dishes in Wuweizhai can be eaten in the mansion, but after changing the environment, it feels a little different. She is also a little shy to think about spending the night here in a while.

Of course, Yuwen Wen had bad intentions. The so-called postures should be changed frequently and the locations should be changed frequently. There is no freshness in the mansion and it is time to "transfer the position". Cars, horses and other earthquakes are not suitable. It is no problem to go to a hotel to "check a room".

When couples need to adjust their lives, they need to be romantic. Of course, the first couple cannot stand under the dangerous wall. They can't run to the dark corner of the park to talk about love, but end up meeting a bandit who is robbed of money and sex.

Wuweizhai was specially placed by Yuwen Wen to facilitate business negotiations. Of course, as a patient with deep paranoia, he is also very concerned about Wuweizhai's security. He not only protects enemies but also protects all kinds of wealthy merchants who are tempted by money.

The glass mirror is a glass mirror, and its profits can make people take risks. Although the workshop is in the residence of Xiyang County Duke, Wuweizhai is also very important. The shop is opposite Wuweizhai, and Wang Yue is talking about business in Wuweizhai. It would be a bad thing if he was kidnapped by someone.

Of course, Wang Yue does not understand the making of glass mirrors, but others don’t think so. In addition, the merchants who come to negotiate must spend the night at Wuweizhai. It is also very important to protect the safety of customers and their property.

"When it comes to Wuweizhai, what's the investment?" Yuwen Wen asked. His focus was on leading troops. The family's finances were managed by Yuchi Chi, so he didn't know much about the specific situation of Wuweizhai, but he just knew that he could take on his own profits and losses.

Yuchi Chifan remembers it very clearly, and of course the facts are also cruel: Wuweizhai has been losing money since its opening, deducting wages and other expenses. She has been filling in the money in the past few months, but she turned a loss into a profit last month, but the profit was less than 100 yuan.

Yuwen Wen coughed dryly when he heard this. Because of the extremely poor consumption capacity in Xiyang City, he didn't think it was strange that such a result was. Ordinary people could not afford to spend the banquet, and the so-called big-name households did not have so many reasons to consume.

The most important thing is that the waste of ingredients is shocking. There are no refrigerators or refrigerators these days. If there are too many customers, it will be a fool. If there are too many stocks, it will be a waste. If there are too many stocks, there are not so many people who order them, you can only deal with them.

It’s not that Yuwen Wen is extravagant, but Wuweizhai is taking the mid-range or above route. If you use non-fresh ingredients to cook, you will have a bad reputation. However, after half a year of opening, you will be on the shopkeeper and the chef will go down to purchase, and the waste of ingredients will begin to be reduced.

"Husband, why do you let other families learn the dishes in the store?" Yuchi Chifan transformed into a question baby. She had been asking this question for a long time. Other families kept hiding the dishes in their restaurants, but their family did the opposite.

"The signature dishes are of course not taught, and the others don't matter..."

Yuwen Wen began to explain his idea. First of all, it is beneficial to promote dishes like Dongpo Pork and Sauce Elbow, so people's demand for pork will increase greatly, and pig farmers will also become motivated.

Pigs are a good thing, especially in Yuwen Wen's eyes. If you don't mention anything else, just lard is very useful. Of course, the latest use is to make soap and soap. Of course, how to saponify lard is the secret.

By analogy, Yuwen Wen wants to benefit the people. Soy sauce for seasoning is one of them. Soy sauce is made of beans. If the amount is used large, people will naturally grow beans. The beans can also be used to squeeze oil, that is, vegetable oil.

The name of the foodie empire is not in vain. Promotional dishes are used to promote the increase of various corresponding demands. However, the most important thing is that there are more commercial activities. If there are more merchants traveling to and from Xiyang City, the catering industry will flourish. This will drive the most demands.

How to "attract investment" to revitalize the economy is a big problem. It is only Yu Wen Wen's idea that catering starts first. Of course, whether it can be realized remains to be seen. It may be just wishful thinking, but he is unwilling to accept it if he doesn't try it.

In his impression, Bazhou (later Huangzhou) had no excellent specialties in ancient times. When Shisu Dongpo praised the pork that was not famous yet, the specialties refer to specialties that were actively acquired by merchants. As for the "Huanggang Middle School Test Questions", this happened a thousand years later.

Yuchi Chifan couldn't understand what "Su Dongpo" means, but he probably understood that his husband had to do something. She knew that his husband had used all kinds of tricks to raise soldiers.

She was full of wine while eating and talking. This time she had dinner with a good wine. Yuchi Chifan was drunk unconsciously. Seeing that her husband was still in good spirits, she couldn't help but waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't bear to drink..."

"I can't bear to drink?" Yuwen Wen laughed. He held the beauty with her face as beautiful as peach blossoms and her eyes were blurred in her arms. One was burning with fire and the other wanted to greet her but refused.

The maids blushed outside the room as they listened to the sound of wind and rain inside, but couldn't walk away, so they could only look down at the toes and count the ants.

......

Under the night, Xiyang City was silent, and Wuweizhai, which was originally extremely lively, also became quiet. Not far away, two men in gray were climbing next to the building.

The watch building and the room downstairs are for night use. They are not only responsible for falling down the gate after the curfew begins, but also questioning all suspicious people, but also taking the responsibility of observing the fire. However, the person who was napping upstairs did not notice that someone was near him.

The two men left the building quietly like geckos, rushed to the other side of the roof to avoid the sight of the night-time man. They carefully crawled towards Wuweizhai's backyard on the roof, and stopped for a while, as if they were guarding against ambushing around.

After a while, they came to the roof closest to the exterior wall of Wuweizhai. After a while, they stopped and looked around for a while, they were about to move forward when they suddenly stood up and jumped backward.

The sound of breaking through the air sounded, and four feather arrows were nailed to the place where they were just staying. The two of them turned around and ran away without looking back. They were as light as swallows and walked on the roof without making any obvious sound.

Several figures appeared on the roof of the originally empty Wuweizhai Restaurant. They bent their bows and arrows at the two escaping figures. Although it was a moonlight night, they still did not hinder the archers' sight.

Several feathered arrows rushed towards the backs of the two men like lightning, but the other party seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and scattered, and they jumped up and down like monkeys and quickly landed and turned into the alley.

However, there were already waiting there for a long time, and several people were holding rattan cards to protect themselves and walked forward quickly. They were facing each other to attack the prey. The two of them were so skilled that they climbed straight up to the wall and climbed to the roof again.

A few feather arrows that followed the shadows, they galloped between the roofs everywhere like flat ground, but the archers appearing everywhere kept firing arrows, forcing them to the streets.

With obvious ambush, Yejiemen dared not fall into the yard of the house, otherwise they would be ruined if they were blocked. They jumped on the street and knew that this place should not be kept for a long time. Just as they were about to rush to the neighborhood on the other side, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the nearby Yewang Tower.

"It's midnight, don't leave when you come!" When the first person was wearing an eye mask, he ordered everyone around him to pick up crossbow arrows. Just as everyone was about to shoot arrows, they saw flashes burst in front of the two.

This flash of lightning made everyone's eyes disappear naturally. The two of them dodged the arrow and turned to the house to climb the wall. However, the one-eyed dragon turned their eyes and saw the figure clearly with the eyes that were not flashed.

"Want to leave?" He sneered and picked up the bow, shot two people with five arrows and shot them down the wall, and the rest rushed to capture each other. They saw that both of them had been caught with arrows on their knees, and one of them had another arrow on their right shoulder.

They were blocked by someone to avoid biting their tongues and committing suicide. A group of soldiers patrolling the streets came across. Seeing the swords and guns here, the people who had just shot the arrows came forward and met: "We are all guards in the Yuwen Envoy's Mansion. The envoy went on patrol tonight and was ordered to accompany the guards."

"Envoy Yuwen?" The team leader changed his expression when he heard this. When the other party said that the whereabouts of the two thieves were exposed and failed to succeed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they still had to register the names and identities of the people in front of them according to regulations.

"I am Zhang Dingfa, the leader of the mansion guard, and I ask you to take the thieves to the prefecture yamen together according to regulations." Zhang Dingfa said that Yuwen Wen is spending the night tonight, which is a good opportunity for some people to take action, so it is also a good opportunity for them to catch people.

The two sides joined forces to march towards the state government. According to the regulations of the government, no one in the city is allowed to arrest people without permission. This is to prevent the wealthy families from doing whatever they want, and to prevent people from hijacking people by catching thieves.

Of course, in order to encourage bravery, it is not impossible to catch people, but they have to take them to the state yamen to guard by the government. The next thing is to leave to the envoy Yuwen who is like a god to determine the case, or his capable subordinate Bo Zhengtong.

The streets returned to peace, and two figures appeared on the roof of a private house near the scene of the incident. They watched the fight all the time. Seeing two unlucky guys being captured alive, one of the thin men whispered: "This guy is indeed very cautious."

"I'm so careful, otherwise the one who was unlucky just now would have to be replaced." Another sighed.

"How about it, Yuwen Wen might be neglecting to prevent it..." The thin man was struggling.

"Do you think this guy will be neglected to prevent it?" another person asked.

"Then...it's better to withdraw."

"If the situation has not changed, I'll wait and see if it's changed. I seem to have seen that guy just now."

"Have you seen it? Do you recognize him?"

"I was vague, but I wouldn't admit my mistake." Another person said firmly, "Do you still remember the Lu Lujiao who was in Dinglong that year..."

"Dinglong... Lu Lu Jia... Five Arrows in a row... Could it be!" The thin man seemed to think of something, "This is impossible!"

"Of course it's impossible, but I remember the person correctly." Another person said softly, "Yuwen Wen is cunning. This person is not a good-looking person. Don't fall into the trap again."

"What if..." The thin man began to worry again, "I'm afraid I can't stop him."
