Chapter 101 Fire Guns and Food Grades
Chapter 101: Musket and Food Level
Although most of Jiang Feng's history is obtained in Yun Zhongyue's novels and there is almost never a single firearm mentioned in those novels, even so Jiang Feng knows that the meaning of "mudgun" refers to muskets, short muskets and long muskets. Of course, Jiang Feng does not know the difference between a coblin gun and a flintlock gun.
However, after untiing the burden, the one Zhang Liang brought was completely a cylinder, with a slightly bulging in the middle of the cylinder, with a circular hole on it.
"Is this a musket?"
Jiang Feng stood up and stroked the surface of the round tube. It was actually cast from metal, but the surface was very rough. When he tried to get up, he found that he still needed to increase his strength. It actually weighed more than 20 kilograms, and something nearly three feet long. In Jiang Feng's memory of modern firearms, the only things that could be hooked were the rocket launchers and recoilless cannons.
Zhang Liang looked at Jiang Feng's face full of confusion and quickly explained:
"Master, this is a musket. My senior brother has many ways. He drank wine with the eunuch who was in charge of the firearm and spent two taels of silver to make this. There would definitely be no fake. According to the eunuch who was in charge, this thing was filled with gunpowder and crushed with gravel. It could be driven out for nearly fifty steps. If you touch it, you will get a skin and a flesh-breaking one."
After rubbing his forehead slightly, Jiang Feng also understood Zhang Liang's words. He might not kill anyone if he beats emotions, which means he has some external injuries. What is the use of this war? Jiang Feng also saw that the warriors were shooting arrows at this time, and they were basically hundreds of meters away.
And I had a vague impression in my mind that crossbows can shoot farther and have greater power. What is the function of this firearm? Jiang Feng suddenly thought that he came to the Ming Dynasty. In addition to being familiar with cooking, he also had some small advantages in fist and footwork and mind.
But these advantages are only compared with ordinary people. I am afraid that it will have no effect when encountering a real strong player. However, a sudden flash of inspiration in my mind asked Zhang Liang:
"Have you been to the money house on West Street?"
Zhang Liang was stunned there, without any reminiscing. Zhao Xiucai spoke from the side and said:
"Boss, Mr. Zhang and I went there with me a few times to save money. Has he been there?"
"Advisor, have you seen the two short muskets in the hospital guard?"
Zhang Liang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively. Jiang Feng stood up and patted Zhang Liang's shoulder and said:
"Let's ask where their muskets were made. In addition to short ones, there should be long ones. Go and inquire. If you can contact us, it doesn't matter if you spend some money?"
Zhang Liang nodded with a questioning face, then walked out. Jiang Feng patted the table gently, and then laughed loudly. Zhao Xiucai next to him looked at Jiang Feng, completely unaware of why his boss was so happy.
Facts have proved that no matter what kind of thing comes to different time and space environments, there will always be various variations, just like the ordinary morning tea in modern times. After Jiangfeng was promoted, it has become an important way for wealthy merchants in Beijing to discuss business and communicate with each other.
And drinking porridge, snacks, etc. casually, there is already a set of inexplicable rules in half a month. For example, if both parties sit down, the first cup of tea is always poured by a higher-ranking person, and the other party stands up to drink it. This is called tea appreciation, and there are also rules for drinking porridge and snacks, all kinds of rules.
After seeing this, Jiang Feng was just laughing. He made money anyway, so he kept in charge of these rules. Anyway, when he was having breakfast, he was drinking tea and snacks, and there was also porridge there. When he was in a good mood, he also had to try a more exquisite ham shredded squids himself, so he felt comfortable.
However, when Chen Bei took out the "Han and Mengquan Banquet" chartered by Shangshenjian and several retired civil servants, he still widened his eyes. In his original idea, this "Han and Mengquan Banquet" could be as exciting as a restaurant or restaurant of some grade.
Like some modern talent shows, an audition was created. This audition will first collect silver once, then enter the second round and then collect silver again, and then collect it layer by layer. Then there will be some posts to vote at that time. If you think the food in that store is delicious, you will spend money to buy a post. If you have money, you can sell as much as possible as support.
If you continue to do this again and again, there is no reason to not make a fortune. However, when Chen Bei’s plan came out, he was immediately stunned.
The big guys in the court had no idea of auditions at all. Chen Gouer, the leader of Shangshenjian, discussed with several civil servants who were idle at home and came out of twelve restaurants. Of course, Chunhelou and Huifenglou were still among them. On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the twelve restaurants held a cooking stage for the Han and Mongolian banquet in Chunhelou.
As a side note, the name of the Han and Meng banquet was also changed to "Loyalty to the Lord and the No. 1 Food Meeting in the World", which reflects the concept that conforms to mainstream publicity everywhere.
Each of the twelve restaurants paid 500 taels of entry fee. Jiang Feng originally thought that if he only competed with these companies, although it would be much less difficult, he would not make any money by adding layers of money. Unexpectedly, the other party was considering it without misfortune. Shangshenjian used white copper to create many small bronze medals, which said that food level seven and food level six, varying in sequence. In just ten days, he also ordered a few diners who were famous for tasting food and wrote a booklet. Only restaurants that could enter this booklet could receive a brand of food level.
Based on the taste reviews of these diners, the highest level of the brand that can be obtained is just a food level 4. When you go to Shangshenjian to get the brand, the seventh level of food requires fifty taels of silver, the sixth level of food requires seventy taels of silver, and the fourth level of food requires three hundred taels of rice, and the brand is held with the silver.
Everything is strictly based on the booklet called "Food Treasure Mirror". It says what level you are, you are just what level you are. If you don't want to force you to spend money, even if you are willing to spend more money, you will not get a high-end brand.
After reading the thin pages of paper sent by the children of the Chen family, Jiang Feng slapped his thigh hard and couldn't help but speak and admire:
"It's so dark."
In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to make money, you must be famous. If you want to be famous, the fastest and most convenient way is to find a celebrity to review it. You didn’t see the fish shop in Hangzhou. It turned out to be just a small thatched house. However, after Emperor Zhengde had dinner there, most articles said that they were looking for women. Now it is the largest restaurant in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Of course, the emperor will not easily go to your restaurant for dinner, so it is always possible to go to famous literati. The Grand Secretary and the officials of the Sixth Ministry will go to dinner every day, no one will leave any teas in every place. So the greatest hope is those of the Zhanshi Mansion, the leisure officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the playboys in the noble family. These people have money in their families and work hard to eat when they are idle. Over time, it is recognized that there are more than a dozen people in the capital who are the best at eating.
If these dozen people eat too much of a restaurant, it will be difficult for a business to be bad, but not everyone in the family can recognize these idle officials who usually wear casual clothes to taste delicious food everywhere.
At this time, the food review launched by Shangshenjian is very useful. You don’t need to go into the store to taste it before you know that you see the small white bronze plaque hanging on the plaque outside? Food Level 6, what does this mean? Our restaurant is a sixth grade. I don’t know what the concept is, but that is the head of the sixth grade. If you don’t look at it, how many sixth grades are in the capital, can you have this small bronze plaque without real ability?
As soon as the review came out, I looked at the restaurant with his own name on the booklet and immediately came with the money. It was like a money-free one. This is an official certificate!
There are people who have good things in the capital, and gave this booklet and the bronze medal of food. This booklet is called "Ming Food Rule", and the bronze medal is called the food seal. The seventh level of food is called "County Magistrate". The fourth level of food outside is the "Fourth-rank magistrate".
Those who have won the brand will naturally have a big increase in their business. Those who have no brand are secretly holding on to their enthusiasm and preparing to strive for excellence. They must win this honor next year.
It's not ordinary black, but Jiang Feng knew in his heart that this method was to give those who did not have the chance to be selected, but in fact it seemed to be cutting leeks and collecting money one by one. The ancients really underestimated it. His idea was actually learned from those people.
I don’t know when Zhao Xiucai had already left the house, and Bao Wen walked in at some point. When he saw Jiang Feng being stunned, he couldn’t help but scream like complaining:
"I said, boss, why are you still so leisurely here? Since the twelve restaurants at the food conference said the names, the door of our Huifeng Building has almost been trampled. I can't get busy. Go and recruit some people!"
It seemed like crying, but in fact, there were really many compliments in it. Jiang Feng also understood and laughed and scolded him.
"This means that your meals are well cooked. Fatty Bao, you don't have to be good at it here, so you can be good at it."
Bao Wen was sitting next to Jiang Feng at this time, asking with some trepidation on his face:
"Our boss, although my old Bao's skills are not bad, I have a good idea. I have no idea compared to those restaurants."
When Jiang Feng heard this, he had a novel expression on his face and said:
"No matter how many names we have, we've posted this time!"
At this time, Zhao Xiucai ran in panting, with an extremely excited face, and said in a trembling voice:
Chapter completed!
