After being stunned for two or three breaths, the Jang Wong Clan regained her senses. She lowered her head and ate the entire bun. Then, she drank a mouthful of the wild vegetable soup that came along with it. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at Wang Juan's mother, Madam Wang.
After all, Madam Wang was not Zhang Xiaobao's biological mother. After eating the bun, she only felt that it was delicious. She said to the Jang Wong Clan, "Sister, why do I feel that the bun tastes familiar when I eat it? It's delicious. In the future, let the shop make more of it. We can eat it every day. It's best if they send it early. We can't wait to eat. Look at the time now. If it's morning, we've already eaten breakfast. If it's noon, there's still some time before noon. "
When the Jang Wong Clan heard this, she was about to nod her head. However, she thought for a moment and said, "They're busy with opening the shop. Why don't we let them prepare it before noon? We can eat it as lunch. Don't always eat buns. Just cook some dishes. What do you think?"
"Busy? Isn't it to make money? Give them 50 copper coins for one bun. They can buy a few hundred buns at a time. That way, they can earn more from the things they make for us. If they don't make other things, won't they have more time? "
Madam Wang was not bullying others. She was prepared to compensate them with money.
Weiwei shook her head and looked at Madam Wang. She wanted to laugh. If Madam Wang knew that the person making the food was her son-in-law, would she still be willing to let him work so hard?
The Jang Wong Clan confirmed the identity of the owner of the shop with just one bun and a mouthful of soup. The taste was too familiar. Other than her son, Xiao Bao, she did not believe that there was anyone else in the world who knew the taste that she was used to.
Furthermore, the fact that the steamed buns with meat filling could be made into a light flavor and the soup made from wild herbs was definitely a dish meant for pregnant women. Would there be anyone who would mention their physical condition to the owner of the store?
The bun was delivered at the right time. Not only was it delicious, but it also made her feel at ease. She did not know why Xiao Bao and Cuckoo opened a shop next door. She guessed that they deliberately wanted the people in the manor to buy their things.
His son, Xiao Bao, was so powerful. Who would dare to say that they could open a shop next door and have the confidence to sell things to the Wang Mansion? Xiao Bao could do it. Without that identity, even if he did the work of an ordinary person, he would still be able to achieve his goal.
Since her son and daughter-in-law didn't want to use their real identities, as a mother, she couldn't expose them, especially this little sister. If she found out that her usual behavior wasn't right, it would probably cause trouble for Xiao Bao and the others.
After thinking for a while, Jang Wong Clan said to Wang Shi, "Younger Sister, let's just stay here and let them cook. If we go back and the others don't like it, they'll have to change the time. It's too troublesome. Why don't we just eat it at noon? If they like it, we can ask them to send some over at night.
Don't make too much, just enough for the two of us. The shop is small, and we don't have enough people. We can't let them be in charge of the entire residence's meals. Listen to me, it's settled. "
"Ah? Not allowed to do more? Alright, I'll listen to you. It's delicious for me, so how can others not like it? Speaking of which, the owner of the shop is really amazing. He's even better than our family's chef. Even when compared to the flagship store Between the Clouds and the Water, the difference isn't that big. "
In the end, Wang Shi decided to listen to Jang Wong Clan. After all, she had always listened to Jang Wong Clan whenever she encountered something, so she was already used to it.
She praised the owner of the shop again. Her preconceived idea made her think that the food made by the chef of Between the Clouds and the Water was better. If she knew that the steamed buns and soup were made by her son-in-law, she would immediately think that her son-in-law was better.
Because the food was delicious, the two of them ate a few more mouthfuls than usual. This was especially true for Jang Wong Clan. While eating, her happy expression didn't change at all.
Once he was full, he found a servant from the inner courtyard and instructed him to have the servant in charge of receiving the goods from the braised food store go to the store and inform the owner of the braised food store. At night, he would deliver two dishes, cabbage and tenderloin.
After that, Jang Wong Clan pulled Wang Shi back to her room to rest. She planned to use other methods to make Wang Shi feel at ease and not worry about the children.
When Wang Shi's servant heard the madam's instructions, he was overjoyed. This meant that his performance was good. In addition to that, he was bribed by the shop to eat good steamed buns. He planned to ask the owner of the shop to make more food for him in the future.
Thus, he rushed to the braised food shop as quickly as possible. Unlike his humble attitude in the manor, he spoke to Zhang Xiaobao, who had nothing to do for the time being and was resting at the side.
"Zhang Shi, here's a deal. My madam has instructed you to make some food and send it in at night. Make four dishes. One is sweet cabbage, one is steamed tenderloin, one is cold dish with more onion and garlic, and one is … fried crabs. It has to be fried until crispy."
Wang Shi's servant actually wanted to eat it himself. He liked to eat fried fish and cold dishes.
When Zhang Xiaobao heard this, he frowned. What nonsense was this? Sweet cabbage? Didn't he know what his mother liked to eat? Steamed tenderloin? It wasn't steamed buns. There would be soup inside. His mother didn't like to eat that. As for the last two dishes, could a pregnant woman eat them?
When this matter was over, he really had to teach this servant of his grandfather's family a good lesson. If he had sent a fake decree, he could have just said that he wanted to eat it. Why did he have to use another name to do it?
Although he was angry, Zhang Xiaobao didn't show it on his face. However, he definitely didn't plan to let this servant eat comfortably. He put on a simple and honest expression and agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll make it. But I've never made it before. I'll try. Don't blame me if I can't make it."
"If you can't make it, you'll be beheaded. I won't blame you. If I don't blame you, then should I? Make it well and eat it. I'll give you more money. Try it. Yes, and prepare two trays of steamed buns tonight. Make it like this morning. "
Wang Shi's servant raised his head and turned around to leave.
Zhang Xiaobao also turned around and came to Wang Juan's counter. He whispered to Wang Juan, "Did you see that? Grandpa's family is like this. Our mother wants to eat cabbage. Where can we buy it at this time of the year? No, mother doesn't think about where I can get cabbage. I have to get him back. "
After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao ordered Wang Gang, "Xiao Gang, go and get him. I don't have cabbage. Tell them to change the dish. I can't make it."
Wang Gang hurriedly chased out. He didn't tell Zhang Xiaobao what he said. Instead, he asked his servant to get some cabbage from the manor. Even if they couldn't find it anywhere else, they definitely had it in the manor. When his wife went out, everything had to be prepared. They couldn't not be able to find anything when they wanted to eat.
If some vegetables were not kept in the soil for a long time, they had to be specially raised in the soil when they came with the ship. At this time of the year, it was indeed impossible to find cabbage in Hangzhou. Not to mention cabbage, there weren't even cabbages.
At the same time, he also planned to ask his servant to talk to the manor. This servant actually dared to talk nonsense. The two madams were pregnant. How could they eat cold dishes with onion and garlic? What a joke. Sweet cabbage? It was possible to eat spicy cabbage.
Zhang Xiaobao also took the money from the counter and said, "I'm going to buy tenderloin. I have a choice. I hope the meat next to the butcher is still fresh. There's also tenderloin. To make sweet and sour tenderloin, you need to use rock sugar. Cabbage is the simplest kind of cabbage. Where can I get old vinegar? My mother didn't think about it. I don't have anything on hand.
How can I not know what to do? "After muttering to Wang Juan, Zhang Xiaobao went out to look for all kinds of things he needed. Wang Juan pursed her lips and smiled. She shouted behind him," Look, do you have any pancakes? Buy one for me. Keep an eye on it. It must taste good. "
"Buy what? It's free. I'll make it for you when you come back. "Zhang Xiaobao's voice came from outside the door.
*****
In Wang Lu's residence, in the side courtyard of the fourth courtyard, the head maidservant Wang Lvhe also received three steamed buns. They were not soup dumplings. There were only two drawers of soup dumplings. Zhang Wong Clan and Wang Lu ate one drawer each. Only the maidservant in charge of testing for poison ate one.
Wang Lvhe looked at the steamed buns in front of her with a solemn expression. She wanted to eat them, but she was afraid that they would be gone after eating them. If she didn't eat them, she was afraid that they would be cold by noon. She was hesitating.
"Lvhe, Lvhe, I have something good for you. Candied plums, take a look. These are their things. I saw that no one was eating them, so I secretly brought them for you."
Wang Lvhe was thinking about whether to eat the steamed buns or not when a man sneaked into her room. He was like a thief. He was very careful. He was holding a small wooden tray. There were about ten candied plums on it.
Seeing the person who came in and hearing what he said, Wang Lvhe frowned. Weiwei said, "Wang Shu, how many times have I told you? I told you not to come here, but you still came here. Is my place where a man like you can enter? Do you want to be beaten to death?
You still dare to steal things. Quickly send them back. If people find out, they will break your hand. If I want to eat candied plums, I will ask for them myself. Quickly get out. "
"Lu He, I, Wang Shu, don't care if others can eat or not. You are my savior. If you didn't take pity on me because I couldn't find a job and recruited me, I don't know how much I would have to suffer outside. As long as you can eat good food, I'm willing to even kill me."
The man called Wang Shu by Wang Lvhe had a grateful expression on his face. Not only did he not go out, he also put the tray in his hand on the table. He glanced around and saw the three steamed buns on the table. He asked curiously, "Lvhe, why are you eating steamed buns at this time? Steamed buns are not as delicious as candied plums. Eat the candied plums. You eat. "
Wang Lvhe looked at the candied plums on the table and said very unhappily, "I told you to send them back, you … Forget it, this is the only time. You are not allowed to steal things in the future. If you are found to send them back, you will be beaten. Did you hear what I said? If there is one more time, I will tell the housekeeper and let the housekeeper punish you. "
"I know, I know. This is the last time. I will not steal things in the future. Look, they don't eat it and throw it here and there. After today, they probably won't want it anymore.
I don't have any other skills. If I want to repay the kindness, I can only do this. If it wasn't for you, I would only be working at the dock. It is tiring and not earning much. You see, I am thin and don't have that much strength. When I think about it, I feel that I should do something for you. "
Wang Shu seemed to be very obedient and began to talk about the past.
Wang Lvhe nodded helplessly and said, "If you really want to repay the kindness, you should do well in the mansion. When I met you half a year ago, I saw that you were smart, so I recruited you. You can't make trouble for me. Otherwise, I will be punished with you.
There are steamed buns on the table. Eat one. It is not an ordinary steamed bun. It is a gift from my wife. The braised food shop outside specially made it for the mansion. There are not many of them. You take one and I will eat the other two. "
While speaking, Wang Lvhe pushed the plate of steamed buns in front of Wang Shu.
Wang Shu took one and hesitated. He opened his mouth and took a bite. His eyes immediately widened. Before swallowing the steamed bun, he nodded and said, "Delicious, really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious steamed buns in the mansion. Is it made by a small shop outside? Why don't they make more? Then everyone in the mansion can eat it. "
"Their shop is a braised food shop, not a steamed bun shop." Wang Lvhe said.
"Let them change it. Our mansion is very powerful. If I tell them to change it into a shop, they will change it into a shop. Lvhe, how about this, you talk to the housekeeper and let me go out to do things. I will buy you better things. Isn't it easy to eat steamed buns?"
Wang Shu finished a steamed bun and moved closer to Wang Lvhe as he said.
Wang Lvhe shook her head and said, "No, you know the current situation. Not only the original people in the mansion, but also the people of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, as well as the Emperor are here. I have already ordered that all the servants who have been in the mansion for less than five years are not allowed to get close to those courtyards.
They are also not allowed to talk to the servants of the other side. When they meet, they have to lower their heads. Even people like us who can go out can't mention anything about the mansion when we go out.
You said that you want to go out, but you have only been here for half a year. There is still a long way to go before five years. You should just stay in the manor and wait for His Majesty to leave. Naturally, you will be able to go out. I don't think it will take His Majesty a long time. At most, it will take half a month.
"Alas!" Wang Shu sighed and said, "In my opinion, the mansion is too strict. You can't go out within five years. How long has it been since the news of the Emperor's arrival? People who come in within a month may be spies from other places. I have been here for half a year and there is no news at that time. How can I do something bad to the Emperor?
Besides, the Emperor has a lot of guards. If I go out to do something, can I find tens of thousands of people to harm the Emperor? I can't go out all day in the mansion. I feel sullen.
Lvhe, you are the best. You can see the two madams. Since you have nothing to do, you can tell me about them. Are the rules different from ours? "
"There is nothing to say. And the rule of the mansion is that during this time, the servants who have been in the mansion for less than five years are not allowed to ask about anything about the other side. The servants who have been in the mansion for more than five years are also not allowed to say anything. Don't ask me. I won't tell you."
After Wang Lvhe said this, she pointed to the steamed bun on the plate and said, "If you think it is delicious, you can eat one. I will leave one to taste. You will reward me again tomorrow."
"I won't eat it. You eat it. Lvhe, don't you believe me? I am the person you recruited. You can tell me. I won't mention this to others. I am curious. You can tell me about the things outside. For example, that braised food store. When did they open?
Is it the one in the east? I have eaten there before when I could go out. The owner there doesn't know how to make steamed buns. I have never heard of them selling steamed buns, let alone rolling pancakes. Did they change the owner? "
Wang Shu swallowed his saliva, but didn't continue to take the steamed bun. He still asked Wang Lvhe about things.
Wang Lvhe looked at Wang Shu in surprise and asked, "How do you know they sell rolling pancakes? You haven't gone out before? "
"Ah? How do I know? Me? I am … I am. I am bored in the mansion, so I found someone who can go out to talk. I asked about the lotus flowers in West Lake and they casually mentioned it.
I estimate that in a few days, the lotus flowers on West Lake will bloom. When that time comes, I will be able to go out and take you to see the lotus flowers. Those lotus flowers are just like you. Beautiful. You are even more beautiful than the lotus flowers. You have a good heart. If you hadn't … "
"Don't talk about the things that I recruited you. Just do your job well and you will repay me. In the future, you are not allowed to ask others about the things outside. If you are found out, you will be beaten. Why bother?"
Wang Lvhe didn't like Wang Shu to talk about the things that happened in the past when they met, so she warned him again.
Wang Shu hurriedly nodded his head: "Yes, yes, I won't ask. I just casually asked. They said it themselves. I will remember it in the future. Before the emperor leaves, I won't ask. Even if they want to talk to me, I will cover my ears and not listen. Lvhe, you eat, I will go back and find a job to do. I won't make you lose face."
After speaking, Wang Shu turned around and left. Wang Lvhe looked at his back, shook her head, and murmured: "This person is good at everything. But he always likes to ask about strange things. Sigh ~! If it was before, it wouldn't matter. But now, it will be easy for the steward to find out about this matter. At that time, I will also be implicated. "
*****
Before dinner, Wang Ju's servant came to the braised food store and asked Zhang Xiaobao, who had just finished his work: "Is everything ready?"
"Okay, okay, wait a moment, I will pack the food." Zhang Xiaobao took out a food box. He deliberately bought it. It was not a basket used to hold cakes. The basket was not layered, but the food box was layered.
Out of the four dishes, two of them were steaming hot. Just as he was about to put in the mixed vegetables and the deep-fried crabs, Wang Ju's servant suddenly said, "Put these two dishes separately. Don't put them in the food box. The smell will spread."
"No, don't think that it's a food box. The food box I bought is better. Each layer is tightly sealed. It won't go bad. If you don't believe me, you can see it."
Zhang Xiaobao held the food box and showed it to the servant.
"If I tell you to separate them, then separate them. Find a basket and pack them. There's also some braised food. Cut some, and some wine. Hurry up, we are still waiting to go back." Wang Ju's servant smacked his lips and ordered more braised food and wine.
Zhang Xiaobao quickly put them in a basket. The wine was put into a gourd. The gourd was not small, and there was still room for three catties of wine.
Passing the food box and basket to the servant, Zhang Xiaobao asked: "Shouldn't the money for the braised food and wine be …"
"What should be? What do you want to say should be? Your store should be closed down and all of you should be thrown into prison. There should be … there are many things that should be done, hmph! "
Wang Ju's servant glared at him, took the things, and left in large strides.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the servant's departing figure and shook his head. He turned around and stood next to the counter.
The waiter, Zhang Yi, came over and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Brother Zhang, we are open for business. We seek money, not power. We can't afford to offend powerful people. Don't think that he is just a servant. Do you know where he is from?"
Without waiting for Xiaobao to ask, Zhang Yi continued, "I've heard from the diners that they are from the Prince's Mansion. It's the Prince's Mansion that's not far from our restaurant. It's really something. Just bear with it, what else can we do? Right, Brother Zhang? What's more, the things they buy are very expensive. We can make a profit and treat it as money for the beggars. Don't you think so? "
"Yes! I just don't want to lower myself to his level. Otherwise, stepping on him would be like stepping on a bug. I, Shi Tou, am not afraid of him. I will just treat it as feeding the food to the dogs. "
Zhang Xiaobao said with a lack of confidence.
Zhang Yi quickly added: "Yes, yes, yes, Brother Zhang. Just based on your cooking skills, even a hundred of him can't compare. If it weren't for the store's business, I would have beaten him up in anger. If worse comes to worst, I will run away. Where can they find me? I am afraid that if they can't find me, they will come to the store to cause trouble. That's why I didn't do anything.
Brother Zhang, I feel annoyed just looking at him. How about this, next time he comes, tell him not to come to the store personally. Our store will send someone to deliver the food. When the time comes, you won't see it and won't feel annoyed. I am willing to do it. It's fine if it is tiring. "
Zhang Xiaobao saw that Zhang Yi was silent. When Zhang Yi didn't know what to do, he nodded: "Maybe he can't agree. Since they are from such a powerful Wang Mansion, what if they are afraid that someone will poison them?"
"How can there not be people who specialize in testing poisons in the Wang Mansion? If they want to poison them, they can do it in the store. Do you think I will poison them? Not to mention that I don't have such thoughts. Even if I do, they will be able to test it. If I run away, it will affect the store.
Even if he, a servant, offended you, and I wanted to avenge you, I couldn't possibly poison him. I'm not stupid, and I don't know what poison is. I always get sick from eating it. If I knew it, how could I get sick? "
Zhang Yi said to Zhang Xiaobao with a smile. Then he asked: "What do you think? When he comes tomorrow, I'll tell him. At most, I'll bring him something when I go. Isn't he just relying on his master's ability to eat for free? Anyway, I won't let you see him. It's fine as long as you're happy. "
"Okay, you can try it tomorrow. I still don't know what the Wang Mansion is like. If you can really send him something, you can take a look around. If you meet someone who is easy to talk to, I will also learn. That is the Wang Mansion."
Zhang Xiaobao agreed.
Zhang Yi returned to his seat with satisfaction and did what he was told.
Wang Gang, who was standing at the door, looked at Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaobao. He lowered his head and pondered for a while. When he looked up again, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Zhang Xiaobao pretended not to see, but glanced at Wang Juan. Wang Juan and Weiwei nodded.
They knew that Wang Gang was going to help Zhang Yi enter the Wang Mansion. Since Zhang Yi wanted to enter, they would let him in and see what he was going to do. They would also see if he was going to ask for information himself or if someone in the Wang Mansion had contacted him.
In this way, they would save a lot of trouble. They had planned to follow the vine to find the melon, but now it seemed that it was not necessary. They only needed to pay attention to the people who were eating. Who had any tricks with Zhang Yi?
Zhang Nan, who was in charge of putting things on the shelves, also looked at them. His hands slowed down as if he was thinking about something.
At night, Zhang Yu came back. The blood vessels in his eyes were gone. It seemed that he had a good rest outside and was very energetic. He was carrying two big grass carps in his hands.
Every day, the fish weighed at least three kilograms. He pierced them through the gills with a willow branch. One of them was not completely dead. Obviously, it moved a little.
Seeing Zhang Yu, Wang Gang became more friendly. He said to Zhang Yu, "You are back? Why are there still fish? I asked you to see if they threw away the food at noon when they were fishing. Did you go into the water and catch the fish yourself? "
Wang Gang had a reason to be friendly because he already knew the identity of the other party. He should be in the same group as the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. If he showed his identity, the other party could cooperate with him.
Zhang Yu did not know that his identity had been found out by others. When he was outside, he sent a telegram and contacted his own people in Hangzhou. He was free now. He had to make good use of this one day.
Hearing Wang Gang's question, Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Xiaobao first and said, "I don't have the ability to catch fish. A fish weighing three kilograms is more than enough to catch me. It is afraid of me on the shore, but I can't do anything to it in the water. It is a gift.
I went to the West Lake and stayed there. There were a lot of people fishing, and they were all wearing nice clothes. There were even more attendants. It was a grand scene. I wanted to go closer, but they wouldn't let me. In the end, I had no choice but to stay near a person from the Fishing Association.
As long as I didn't go to the center, they didn't care about me. I stayed with the person next to me. He was very good. In one day, he caught more than twenty fish. I also helped him with the net.
In the end, when he left, he didn't want a lot of fish, so he asked the people following him to share it with the people on the West Lake. As for me, I was given two fish that looked the most pleasing to the eye. At noon, when he saw me eating, he asked me where I was from. I told him I was from the braised food store. To tell the truth, it wasn't something to be ashamed of.
I told him why I was here. I also showed him the food that Brother Zhang had brought me and shared it with him. He also gave me a glass of white wine. The wine was delicious. Then, he praised the seafood roll in our shop. He said that the seafood roll was delicious.
When they left, I carried the grass carp and ran around the place where they had been. No one threw it. Not only did they not throw the sea food burrito, they didn't throw the oil paper either. The place where they had been was clean and tidy.
I ran back. Brother Zhang, look, one of the fish was moved just now. It's not dead yet. You can cook it. Hehe, hehehehe. "
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and also laughed. He didn't believe that Zhang Yu had spent the whole day by the West Lake and did nothing else. Looking at Wang Gang's attitude towards Zhang Yu, he must have found out the other's identity.
Since that was the case, he was relieved. Zhang Nan was one of Li Longji's people. Now, there were four people in the store. It was three to one to torture Zhang Yi. Interesting.
After taking the two fish, Zhang Xiaobao said, "Good, good fish. When the store is closed tonight, I will cook fish for you. I'll braise it. It's not good, but it's better than cooking it yourself."
"Brother Zhang, you will definitely cook it well." Zhang Yu quickly praised.
"Why are you making two fish? It's three catties of fish. One fish is enough for them. Leave the other one first. Find a cool place and hang it up. Eat, eat, eat. What are we going to eat tomorrow? "
Just when everyone showed a happy expression, Wang Juan's words followed.
Zhang Xiaobao almost couldn't help but laugh. This Wang Juan, she never forgets to play her role. It's just two fish. So what if they don't make a sound? She must show her character all the time. Sigh ~!
Zhang Yu and the other four people also had a headache. It's true that they came here to be intelligence officers, but they were always being scolded. No one felt good. They never knew that being an intelligence officer could be so cowardly.
"Listen to the boss and eat one fish. Brother Zhang, cook one fish. It's enough for the four of us. It's three catties. Each of us can eat a lot." Zhang Yu wanted to say that he was the one who brought the fish back, but he didn't dare to. He was afraid that the female boss would get angry and not want the fish. Then, she would kick him out. Then, all his efforts would be wasted.
When they met today, the people on his side had already told him to find a way to find out whether the other three people were real or not.
Another task was to keep an eye on the two bosses of the restaurant. He wanted to know what else they could do besides making braised food, rolls, and steamed buns. If possible, he wanted to recruit them into the organization. With good craftsmanship, it would be more convenient for them to do things. Moreover, it would be easier for them to achieve results.
The task was very important, especially the last one. It seemed very difficult to get the female boss into the organization. She was a person who only ate and didn't vomit. Therefore, he must not be kicked out.
Zhang Yu made a concession, but he didn't expect that the female boss was not done. She continued, "You four eat the three catties of fish. Stone and I will watch. Divide it into three parts. One for the head, one for the tail, and one for the middle. The head and the tail should be about the same as the middle. When the time comes … "
"When the time comes, we will eat the head and the tail." Zhang Yu quickly said. As for how much good meat the head and the tail could bring, it would depend on how Brother Zhang cut.
"You eat? How can I let you eat? You have been busy all day and worked hard. The good meat is for you. Stone and I will eat the head and the tail. Don't say anymore. It's settled. "
Wang Juan tried to be gentle, but the four guys didn't feel it. They were always on tenterhooks. They were afraid that the female boss would say something. Seeing that the good meat was going to belong to them, it would be a lie if they didn't feel guilty.
But Zhang Xiaobao knew that Wang Juan really wouldn't eat the middle part. That was what ordinary people ate. If he made it himself, the head and tail of the fish would be delicious. Unfortunately, it was not the fat head fish. If it was the fat head fish, the head would be more valuable. Nowadays, people still didn't know how delicious the head of the fat head fish was.
When the sun set, oil lamps were lit up in the store. This was how small stores were like. Unlike the rich families nowadays, who lived near the river or where the wind was strong, they would spend a lot of money to hire a company to install an electricity system for them.
After installing the electricity system, there could be a washing machine. It was a one-way rotation. If you wanted to change the direction, you could only take the clothes out and let the clothes change direction before putting them in. It was easy to break.
But even so, the rich people also used it. They didn't expect to improve the efficiency. It was just for show. There was also the electric light. Because of technical reasons and not enough investment in this area, it was easy to break down. The real technical tilt was all on the fuel machine.
Some people burned biogas. It was not easy to make a biogas lamp, but it was not necessary to use a biogas lamp to light up. Just follow the pipe out and directly spew out fire. It was brighter than candles and cheaper.
This was all because of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. The two of them knew a lot of things. Otherwise, let alone the electric light, even the people of Great Tang wouldn't know about it. How long did it take to invent the electric light?
At that time, there were theories. Then, they had to experiment with different filament materials. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan directly skipped this process. When others finished researching, they just used it. This was the advantage of the industrial revolution. For Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, many common knowledge in Great Tang were great knowledge that people couldn't understand even if they spent a lot of effort.
The oil lamp didn't light up at all, especially for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They were used to the existence of the electric light. When they lit the oil lamp again, they felt uncomfortable in their eyes. So, the two of them simply didn't look at the swaying flame.
Just like yesterday, there were still two tables of people who hadn't finished eating. There were three people at one table and four at the other table. They were leisurely drinking wine, eating side dishes, and braised food.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at each other. They judged that these two tables were filled with their own spies. Moreover, it wasn't just the two tables left. During the day, their own spies would also take turns eating here to ensure that there were still people in the restaurant other than Wang Gang.
After all, the things in the restaurant had entered the Wang Residence. They couldn't be careless.
Wait. Wait for the day to come later. Then, the four of them wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
Zhang Xiaobao also went to the counter and sat down. Like Wang Juan, he closed his eyes and rested. The two of them still had to discuss things in the evening.
