Chapter forty-six compound surname gentry

After sitting down, the waiter asked with a smile: "What are the two guests?"

"First, let's have a plate of braised deer tendons and two roe deer elbows with sauce. What wine do you have here?"

"The shop has aged Kanto white and a new product, Manjianghong. I wonder which type of customer wants to drink?"

Zhen Liuqi glanced at Dongye Weimin and said, "Go to two altars of Manjianghong first."

Soon, the wine and food were all there. Dongye was addicted to alcohol and could no longer hold back. He poured a bowl, picked it up, and gently touched Zhen Liuqi's wine bowl, drank it all, let out a long breath, and then started to eat.

Before they knew it, the two had finished drinking a jar of Man Jianghong, and more than half of the wine and food were used.

.

Nearly ten people who had arrived early had left at the table next to him. After a while, the waiter nodded and bowed his head, and led about eight or nine people in with a smile. The group was all wearing black cotton armor, with a arrogant look on their faces, and as if no one was seen walking, they were swaying.

After the group of people went upstairs, they were led by the waiter. When they walked towards the empty seat, they happened to pass by Zhen Liuqi. After they passed by, he saw Dongye Weimin sitting opposite him, looked at the backs of these people for a few more times, and frowned twice. He lowered his head and asked quietly: "Brother Jia knows these people?"

However, Dongye Weimin lowered his head to eat, but he didn't say anything. He nodded without a trace, but shook his head slightly.

Zhen Liuqi couldn't understand the meaning, but he understood that there must be a reason, so he couldn't help but raise his head and drink quietly. But in fact, he had already raised his ears and unconsciously heard these people talking loudly.

.

After the group of people sat down, the waiter asked respectfully: "How many officials want to drink?"

One of them asked in a rough voice: "If you don't drink, can you still drink tea? What good wine do you have here?"

When Zhen Liuqi heard that the accent was not local to Manzhou, but it was like the tone of Kyoto. He couldn't help but look up at Dongye Weimin, but saw that although he was silent, he was still drinking in a small mouthful. He was obviously absent-minded and seemed to be listening carefully, so he lowered his head and continued to eavesdrop on his ears.

I heard the waiter answered: "The store has ten-year-old Guandongbai and new product Manjianghong. I wonder what the officials want to drink?"

The man who spoke in a high tone said in a thick voice: "Ten years of Kanto Bai and Man Jianghong, come two jars each. What kind of specialty dishes do you have here? Even if you have them, please go there. This is Lord Huyan from Kyoto, who is the most magnanimous and kind, and spends money like soil. As long as the wine and food here can satisfy us Lord Zheng, you will be rewarded in a while. First, put some dried fruit candied fruits and set the table with seasonal side dishes. Okay, you can go down first."

"It's so good!" The waiter responded and went down to deliver the dishes.

Zhen Liuqi was thinking secretly, who was the Lord Huyan mentioned in this person? When these people came in just now, they were quite silly and eye-catching. He also glanced at him twice. I only remember that these people were all wearing unified official uniforms. With his experience, he could not tell which yamen belonged to. The person surrounded him was at most less than thirty years old. When the person who spoke said that he was their Lord Huyan, Zhen Liuqi couldn't help but feel moved. He knew that the Northern Qi Kingdom of the human race was divided into gentry and civilians. Only the gentry had a compound surname, and almost all the common people had a single surname. Of course, there were occasionally decaying gentry, and demoted to civilians. I guess that gentry Huyan was a gentry, so he was young and had a high position and was praised by everyone.

.

Just as Zhen Liuqi was thinking, the waiter had already put dried fruit candied fruits and seasonal side dishes on the table.

I heard the man who spoke in a very high tone and said in a thick voice: "The dried fruits in Manzhou are very famous. Pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, etc. are all local specialties. Especially the red pine nuts, they need to grow wild red pine before they start to produce seeds after 50 years. They will only mature in two years, so they are extremely precious. They are inconvenient to store, are improperly moisture-proof, and are prone to mold. In Kyoto, eating these things requires famous stores to be available. In Manzhou, it can be seen everywhere and the prices are much lower. Lord Huyan and brothers, come and try this fresh dried fruit!"

Another person heard someone say, "Brothers, when you come here, eating and drinking is the second best. Never forget the responsibility of our coming here." Zhen Liuqi knew that this person's accent was still in Kyoto dialect and his voice was sharp. As soon as this person finished speaking, everyone's voice suddenly became much smaller at the table. I guess they were all listening to this person's speech. The person who spoke should be the Lord Huyan. Only the sharp voice of Lord Huyan spoke again: "Remember what should you do after dinner?"

The man with a high tone of voice spoke and said in a thick voice: "Don't worry, Lord Huyan, brothers, all of you remember it! After drinking and eating, we each took a group of people and visited each fur shop, ensuring that no one was missed. I had already found out before that, in this Manzhou area, there are many fur products for bears, tigers and leopards, but bears, furs without a knife and gun are extremely rare. As long as we check them one by one, we will definitely find out the source of the hunter who sent this item."

Hearing this, Zhen Liuqi's heart moved and couldn't help but look up at Dongye Weimin, but saw that he was still lowering his head silently and sipping wine in small sips. His face turned slightly red. I don't know if it was because of the drunkenness or his anger.

The sharp voice of Master Huyan said again: "No matter what, be sure to care. When asking about the hunter's appearance, you must emphasize that there is an extremely strong lion for the riding, and the weapon he carries is two octagonal hammers, or it may be empty-handed, with a curly beard and a tall figure."

Zhen Liuqi suddenly realized who they were looking for. He was afraid of showing his figure, so he didn't dare to look up frequently, so he lowered his head and drank silently for dinner. He thought to himself: Fortunately, Brother Jia was going to re-treat his face with his curly beard, leaving only the short beard on his upper lips, and his appearance changed drastically. He rarely rode a lion again, and he usually rode a one-horned scale-hoof horse with me to hunt. We didn't sell fur goods to the fur shop in Mohe City, and these people couldn't find him. But who was looking for Brother Jia, no, was he looking for Minshuai?

As he was thinking, he heard the sharp voice of Lord Huyan added: "This time, there are three cities in the far north of Manchuria, and they all sent people to visit. Mohe is the most likely. The time for us to make contributions is here. Remember, this time, just find the whereabouts of this person is a great achievement, and you must not take action! I believe you have heard of the miserable situation of Lord Weisheng and his subordinates? You must not learn from that Lord Weisheng, and think too high, and instead of taking action, you will end up miserable."

The man with a high tone of voice spoke in a thick voice, "Hu Yan, the Lord, is a blessing for me, I dare not obey my orders!"
