Seven hundred and thirty-six first signs

Because of the extremely successful development of paper money, Suning could not get rid of it during this period. As the first advocate and founder, he had to be responsible for paper money. Therefore, he stayed in Guangzhou in the last three months of the nine years of Zhenguan. Because of the busy things, he had to spend the New Year of Zhenguan in Guangzhou City. For this reason, Suning felt guilty about his family and could only write a letter from home, attach a gift, and ask someone to send it back to Chang'an.

There is no way, state affairs are important, everything before is running smoothly, but the speed of information dissemination in this era is slow after all, Suning is not sure that it will continue to be the same after leaving Guangzhou. Guangzhou is the beginning of all economic and political changes. Suning feels that it is necessary to stay here for a while to facilitate the evaluation and improvement of various new policies. As for Chang'an City in the north, there is no need to worry about Du Ruhui, the great god.

But Suning felt a little sorry for Xue Rengui, and kept dragging him here. Originally, Suning planned to let him go back to celebrate the New Year with his family, but Xue Rengui said that his task was to transport money and grain to Guangzhou and then safely protect Suning back to Chang'an City. If the task was not completed, how could he go home first? This made Suning feel moved, and he also made more compensation to Xue Rengui, and invited Xue Rengui to Weixianju for dinner on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Xue Rengui is indeed not short of money at present, and naturally he does not lack food. However, he has always been used to being frugal, because his past life and his extraordinary appetite have given him a deep memory. He does not want to eat well. He only wants to eat full. As long as he can eat full, simple food, etc., he thinks that steamed buns and pickles can also be full, and big fish and meat can also be full. If that is the case, why not choose cheaper steamed buns and pickles, but choose expensive big fish and meat?

It's a simple choice, but what Suning really wants to tell Xue Rengui is that although big fish and big meat are expensive, it is sufficient oil and water, and it is easier to fill the stomach. Steamed buns and pickles are simple, but Xue Rengui is so edible. How many steamed buns and pickles should be eaten to eat to eat? There is no oil and water. It's not easy to fill the stomach. It's still fast to digest it. It's better to eat some big fish and meat. However, considering Xue Rengui's persistence, Suning gave him meat buns and then added oil and water to the pickles. Xue Rengui's food was extremely sweet.

The meat buns specially provided by Xue Rengui had to be held with two hands. They were big, filling, plenty of oil and water, and pickles. Even so, he could still eat 10 or 20 pieces of pickles in one meal, and a bowl of pickles. Suning was very surprised. He could eat three of such a big buns and Xue Rengui could eat almost twenty pieces, but it was not a solution. Suning tried every means to give Xue Rengui a tooth sacrifice. The New Year was a good excuse. Xue Rengui was finally taken to Weixianju, which was a hot business because of the concept of New Year's Eve dinner. He came to him with a whole table of local specialty New Year's Eve dinner in Guangzhou, although it was the second day of the New Year.

One of the basic guidelines formulated by Suning for Weixianju is localization and specialization. In addition to a batch of special dishes created by the Su family, the other dishes depend on what local people like to eat, what local specialties are there, whether the taste is salty or light, whether they like vegetarian food or big fish and meat, all surveys have been conducted, and then Weixianju is targeted. Therefore, Weixianju has always been loved by many people, and there are crowds of people wherever they go.

The concept of New Year’s Eve dinner was also proposed by Suning, and Weixianju opened the announcement. The dishes were all formulated, and the prices were similar in dozens of different combinations, medium-sized. Generally speaking, a family can eat a New Year’s Eve dinner all year round, and they can all show off this meal. Moreover, the rules for the New Year’s Eve dinner in the Tang Dynasty are like this. Everyone can accept it from this store to that store. Weixianju has a good taste and is cheaper, and the concept of this New Year’s Eve dinner also seems to be relatively novel and unique.

You can go to Weixianju to pack a table and gather your family to have a meal together, or you can choose to let Weixianju prepare the meal and then take it home. Anyway, the result is strict, one year-round, one luxury, which is worthy of the hard work throughout the year. Many people eat this set, and those wealthy families will even book private rooms. They can enjoy the best of their luxury.

Suning and Xue Rengui are only two people, but their identities are special. Wei Xianju prepares the most elegant and best upper-up room for his real owner, and then the highest luxury enjoyment. Xue Rengui's eyes widened and kept swallowing. After finally suppressing the idea of ​​wanting to eat a lot, Xue Rengui asked with a smile: "Mr. Su, these dishes must be valuable, right? Are you and me too extravagant? Isn't this a little more lucky to be able to enjoy it!"

Suning smiled and waved his hand and said, "Rengui is joking. I don't understand your appetite yet? I was shocked when I first came to Chang'an City for a meal. Now you say you can't finish these things? I used to always give you buns and pickles and I feel embarrassed and feel sorry for it. Now it's the New Year. I've been busy for a year. It's natural that everyone is celebrating and enjoying it. We should follow the trend! Come on, until we finish eating, this is specially prepared for you. If you can't finish eating, you pay for it!"

Xue Rengui smiled silly, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Since Mr. Su said that, it's better to obey your orders than to be respectful. Then, Mr. Su, let's have this cup first!"

Xue Rengui raised his wine glass, and Suning also raised his wine glass and drank a glass of wine together. Su Hou stretched out his fingers on the table: "Rengui, please!"

Xue Rengui could no longer hold back, and he stretched out his chopsticks and started eating. Suning ate slowly, watching Xue Rengui feast while eating. Suning felt more and more that watching Xue Rengui eat was just watching the 3D movie of rice. Xue Rengui ate so delicious and fierce. Even if he eats steamed buns, he can give you the feeling of delicacies. Anyway, Suning thinks that as long as Xue Rengui eats in front of you, you must have a unique appetite.

Judging from the current situation, these more than 20 dishes are probably not enough for Xue Rengui to eat alone. Suning has also prepared a backup plan. Tonight, a chef specially prepared for Xue Rengui, and he would give him as much as he could. Suning also wanted to see if Xue Rengui's stomach bag was a complete bottomless pit. However, looking at the current situation, Xue Rengui was more than enough to deal with this table that usually cost five or six people a meal. It seems that after his military career, Xue Rengui's appetite has grown again.

It is said that when the army was fighting, Xue Rengui's food was specially supplied by the army, which was a matter that the commander in the army paid special attention to. It was not only because Xue Rengui was particularly treated for wars. In fact, it was understandable to do so. The greater the ability, the better the treatment. This is very normal. There is another special reason why Xue Rengui was treated preferentially, that is, although Xue Rengui loved soldiers very much, most of the rewards were rewarded to soldiers. The soldiers also loved Xue Rengui very much. However, when Xue Rengui squatted with them for dinner, they always couldn't eat enough.

Xue Rengui really wanted to establish a good relationship with the soldiers. The generals ate the same meal as the soldiers. Even eating together was easy to move soldiers. There were not many generals able to do it. However, Xue Rengui's specialness lies in his ability to eat. Often, soldiers who eat with him would be stunned when they saw Xue Rengui eating, so they changed from the initial touch to knowing that they would definitely go hungry when they saw Xue Rengui coming.

In the end, I don’t know who mustered up the courage to tell Xue Rengui about this. After hearing this, Xue Rengui did not feel anything bad, but expressed his mistake sincerely. After that, Xue Rengui came to have dinner with the soldiers as usual, but only ate one bowl of rice at a time, which made many soldiers feel very sorry. The soldier who first proposed this matter deeply condemned him and wanted to apologize.

One day after dinner, everyone discussed to apologize to Xue Rengui. It was worth it even if such a good general was not full. The soldier broke into Xue Rengui's camp with a thorn on his back. As a result, he saw Xue Rengui swallowing a whole basin of food. Then the other soldiers rushed in to apologize and saw this scene. Everyone was stunned, staring at him and wondering what was going on.

After Xue Rengui found out that these soldiers were here to apologize to him and apologize for the crime, he smiled gently and said with a gentle smile that he had eaten extraordinary food since he was a child. He could eat four or five people alone. After he arrived in the army, he was more physically exhausted, and his appetite increased greatly. He could eat six or seven people alone. At first, he thought the army had enough food, but he didn't pay attention. Later, when the soldiers proposed it, he realized that he seemed a little taken for granted.

He felt very sorry, so he reported to the military commander and told the issue. The military commander was Su Dingfang, and even Xue Rengui had an extraordinary appetite. After learning about this, he laughed and approved the article to prepare food for Xue Rengui alone, giving him the number of meals for eight people at a time. In order not to make the soldiers blame themselves too much, Xue Rengui still ate with the soldiers every time, but only ate a bowl of rice, chatted and laughed for a while, and then left, and then returned to his military tent to have a big meal.

As a result, the soldiers broke in and apologized to him. When he saw this scene, he felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was too good to eat. The rice in the washbasin could be eaten three pots of a meal. The dishes in the military were simple, and it became a little richer after the introduction of stir-frying. Because of the increase in economy and crop yield, there were also a lot of foods. You could eat a meal of meat in two or three days. However, after all, it was mainly rice and vegetarian dishes with oil and water. Xue Rengui was a general and could eat meat alone, but he still needed a lot of rice to fill his stomach.

Later, the incident was learned by His Majesty Li Er. Given that Xue Rengui was a brave general he liked very much, His Majesty Li Er specially approved Xue Rengui to eat meat every day. As a result, Xue Rengui agreed to the reward, but gave most of the meat to the soldiers. After His Majesty Li Er learned about it, he deeply felt that Xue Rengui was kind and especially allowed Xue Rengui and his subordinates to eat meat every day. He and the two thousand soldiers under his command felt very honored, so he charged forward in every battle and retreated behind, becoming not only the left military guard, but also the most powerful army in the twelve guards, known as the "Meat Fighting Army".

This is also the first choice for transporting a large number of money and important grains this time, and it was given an important task.

Suning also inspected this special carnivorous army several times. "Every battle, you must die, and every food must have meat" is the slogan of this army. It has excellent mental state, strong body, and strong spirits that can be seen from afar. Therefore, in several small battles after the Battle of the Western Regions, this carnivorous army can make great contributions, with a total of 2,000 people, but they are all used as suicide squads.

As Xue Rengui ate and drank, he gradually became a little drunk. After not eating too much, his stomach bag still had a bottom. After eating thirty-two plates of dishes and a basin of rice, Xue Rengui finally got full and drank, and was also drunk. Suning was about to call someone to come and clean up. The drunk Xue Rengui burped a long time and shouted: "Shopkeeper! Check out!" Then he took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, waved them twice, and his upper body fell on the dining table, and the soup and water blew it half of his body. Suning shook his head when he saw it.
