The guy at Wanghailou didn't expect that these poor soldiers were so generous. He rewarded three silver dollars with just raised his hand. You should know that this guy only spent one tael of silver for a month when he worked hard.

This Guangdong silver dollar is exquisitely crafted and combined with the good credit of Guangdong Central Money Bank, the purchasing power of this exquisite silver dollar in the mainland is greater than one tael of silver, so the three silver dollars of Zhujiang are equivalent to five taels of silver.

The guy immediately changed his face after taking the silver dollar, and quickly lowered his head and bowed, "Damn it, I don't know how rich the old men are, please come in!"

Following his friend Zhu Jiang and his group to the private room, Song Li and others had not yet entered such a high-end club. They looked around and looked like a local bun.

The guy cursed "rustic buns" in his heart when he saw these people's expressions, but the money he gave was worthless. He had no choice but to go forward patiently and asked, "What are you going to eat, soldiers?"

Zhu Jiang looked at his subordinates and asked, "What do you like to eat? Say it yourself!"

Song Li said first: "Braised pork!"

When Zhu Jiang heard that Song Li was going to eat pork, he stepped forward and patted him in the head and scolded: "Idiot, haven't eaten enough at home yet?"

Song Li touched his head and thought it was true. In the army, he should change to some other pork every day.

"I want to eat chicken, a whole chicken!"

"I want to eat bad duck!"

"I want to eat fish!"

Zhu Jiang heard what these people under him were talking about. There was no way. These people were not from high origins, so it would be good for them to do something.

Zhu Jiang said to the guy: "Do you have beef? Give me some pepper and beef sticks, salt and shrimps, steamed grouper, spicy meat slices. Yes, let's have another Xihu vinegar fish from Zhejiang, and finally a tomato and egg flower soup!"

Zhu Jiang's dishes made the guy look at them with admiration. Chili was just introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty and was only grown in Guangdong. No one in Zhejiang could eat chili peppers. The dishes Zhu Jiang ordered just now were all newly introduced dishes from Guangdong. Because the boss of Wanghailou was from Guangdong, he made these chili dishes. Several other restaurants on the island would not make them at all.

What's more, the pepper beef soup is made with veal. It was illegal to eat beef in the Ming Dynasty. If the restaurant did not order strength, this dish would not dare to serve. As for tomato and egg flower soup, it was a dish from the Guangdong palace. I heard that this dish was developed by Emperor Shenwu. It was sour, spicy and delicious, and very popular. However, because Zhejiang does not produce tomato and pepper, these things must be transported in from Guangdong, so the price is naturally not cheap.

"Jun Ye, you are a person who knows how to eat at first, but the younger ones need to clarify first. The ingredients used in these dishes are shipped from Guangdong, so the price is naturally not cheap. Jun Ye, look..."

Zhu Jiang frowned and said, "What's the matter with you? Come up quickly, can you make your meal short?" After Zhu Jiang said that, he took out a bag of silver coins from his pocket and put them on the table with a clang. The sound was over a hundred.

More than one hundred silver coins were equivalent to nearly three hundred taels of silver, which was enough for the meal. The guy then felt at ease and told the kitchen to prepare the food.

These dishes are something Zhu Jiang often eats at home, so he can order them skillfully here. The other soldiers have never heard of them, but they just think that their names are high and must be good.

Wanghailou is worthy of being the largest restaurant in Dinghai City. The dishes were ready in less than ten minutes and the dishes were served. Zhu Jiang just ordered only the main course, and there were eight other platters, including some cold dishes such as white-cut chicken, belly slices, etc. After the dishes were served, there were more than a dozen plates, and the table was filled.

The guy smiled beside him and asked, "Several military officials, the food has been served. Do you need a singing girl to sing a song?"

Zhu Jiang shook his hand and said, "No, I'm here to have a meal today! I don't drink wine!" After that, Zhu Jiang picked up chopsticks and picked up the beef sticks and put them in his mouth to chew them.

Seeing these soldiers starting to eat and drink without any image, the gang despised them. These Qiu Ba didn't know where they got the money, so they ran to Wanghailou to embarrassingly.

You should know that Wanghailou is a reception for dignitaries. Zhoushan has become a safe haven in southern Zhili in recent years. The dignitaries and intellectuals on the mainland have all come here. In addition, Zhoushan is the temporary garrison of Li Zhi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and there are many officials. Those who come to Wanghailou for dinner are either high-ranking officials or nobles or poets. It is the first time that he has received the Qiu Ba of Zhu Jiang today.

When Song Li and others saw that they could eat it, they picked up whirlwind chopsticks one by one, cracked the noodles and opened their mouths, and started eating.

Song Li said vaguely while eating halfway, "Sir, it turns out that the beef tastes like this. It's the first time I've eaten it. It's so tender! And what's this green thing? It feels strange when you eat it!"

"Haha, stupid, that's chili. Only rich people can eat it in Guangdong!"

"Sir, it turns out that this is tomatoes. I didn't expect it to be eaten. There are those that we grow in there, but they don't eat them!" Tomatoes were introduced to China during the Wanli period, but they were used as ornamental plants for a long time and started to be eaten in the late Qing Dynasty.

"This tomato and egg flower soup is even more expensive. Emperor Shenwu likes to eat this kind of thing the most. I heard it is good for the body. You can eat more!"

The guy next to him didn't expect that Qiu Ba knew a lot. He didn't know that Qiu Ba, who was covered in pig manure, was the second prince of the current emperor.

These dishes look novel, but because the vegetables are transported from long distances, they are no longer fresh when they arrive in Zhoushan. In order to prevent rotting, the tomatoes are picked and put on the ship when they are still green. There is no sweet and sour taste of tomatoes at all. Zhu Jiang just tastes each dish, then puts down his chopsticks and stops eating it. He just watches Song Li and others eat happily.

Song Li and others were all half-baby. Although they could eat a lot in the military camp, the big pot rice in the military camp did not have the taste of such a restaurant. In a short while, they all ate the ditch and the trench were all flat.

When Zhu Jiang saw that everyone had finished eating, he asked, "Are you all full?"

"Sir, I can't eat anymore. I'll vomit if I want to eat!"

Zhu Jiang smiled and said to the guy: "Okay, settle the score!"

The account had been settled long ago, and the mate said respectfully from the side: "Mr. Jun. It's a total of 31 taels and 6 coins of silver. The shopkeeper said that if you use silver dollars to make the accounts, twenty silver dollars will be fine!" Guangdong's silver dollars began to spread throughout Nanzhili with the increase in territory occupied by the new army. The silver coins pressed from the steam engine were exquisitely crafted and very popular in all places. Moreover, due to the low production, the market value of silver dollars has exceeded the value of its own silver. One silver dollar contains nine cents of silver, but can be exchanged for one taels and five cents of silver.

The twenty silver dollars of this meal made Song Li and others stunned. They only had three silver dollars a month. Unexpectedly, they could eat their salary for more than half a year. In fact, this meal was quite cheap. Other meats were easy to talk about, but vegetables came from Guangdong. You should know that it took half a month to travel from Guangdong to Zhoushan. If you encounter a typhoon and other harsh climate time, it would be longer. In this way, only one or two tomatoes left in each basket that had not rotted, so this meal costs not much twenty silver dollars.

Zhu Jiang wiped his mouth and said, "The twenty silver coins of this meal are pretty good. Although the beef is a bit old and the tendons of the pepper are not removed, it is worthy of this price!"

"Junye is indeed an expert. He can taste the shortcomings by just trying it. Xiaodi must tell the back kitchen that they can improve it!"

Zhu Jiang nodded: "Okay! Just accept it humbly! Song Li, let's go back for dinner! There are still twenty pigs waiting for us to feed them!" Zhu Jiang was about to get up and go downstairs after he said that.

The guy next to him is anxious, don’t interfere! He hasn’t paid yet!

"June Junjun, look at the money for this meal..."

Zhu Jiang then realized the lie and patted his head and said, "Look at my head, I forgot to give money. Man, we have no money!"

What? Don’t have money? The guy was unhappy when he heard this. What food did he have no money to eat? He even commented, and what big cloves of garlic are served!

"June, didn't you have silver dollars in your bag just now?"

"You said this, you have to give it to you!" After Zhu Jiang said that, he handed the money bag to the guy. When the guy opened it, he saw that it was all pebbles. What silver dollars were there!

Zhu Jiang is not short of money, but his money is all in the hands of his mother in Guangzhou. The three silver dollars he rewarded to the mate just now were still the salary this month. The purse just now was a pile of pebbles found on the road to make up the numbers. The mate was angry when he saw the pebbles and cursed: "Do you guys know whose industry this is? Do you dare to make trouble?"

Zhu Jiang laughed and said, "Haha! I'm here to make trouble today!"

The guy only realized that Zhu Jiang’s group was here to have a troupe of King’s meal. That’s all right, and he didn’t even look at who the boss of Wanghailou was!

The guy called downstairs and came up seven or eight, holding wooden sticks, kitchen knives and other weapons. It seemed that he was not going to let Zhu Jiang and others go today.

Song Li and the other four were frightened when they saw that Zhu Jiang did not bring money, but when they saw that the hotel staff was about to take action, Song Li and others picked up chairs and other things to prepare for battle. The military law of the new Guangdong army was harsh. If they didn't pay for meals, they would just go back to the military camp to confine themselves for two days, and there was nothing wrong. However, they would abandon their comrades and run away alone, which would be a big deal. At best, they could be beheaded. So Song Li and others knew that they were wrong, but they had to resist to the end.

When Zhu Jiang saw that both sides were about to take action, he quickly stood up and stopped the gang, saying to the gang: "Do you still talk about the king's law? Are there any laws? Isn't it just a tycoon meal? Are you still going to set up a private court? Look, I am a lieutenant of the Guangdong New Army, do you dare to move?"

Zhu Jiang's words reminded the guys that these guys are soldiers, and the Qiu Ba on the island protects their shortcomings, so that they know that it is not good to hit people first. It is better to notify their backstage boss and use official forces to deal with them.

Thinking of this guy whispering a few words to the people around him, then went down to find the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper quickly sent someone to Dinghai City to find the Jinyiwei Yamen. The backstage boss of Wanghailou was Shen Zhuguo, the Jinyiwei Nanzhili Qianhu, but now Shen Zhuguo followed the emperor to fight in Nanzhili, and there was only one Qianhu guard in Zhoushan.
