Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Wang Daqing was originally a village slave in the royal manor. He later responded to the emperor's call to join the army and became a soldier of the Royal First Regiment. Due to his good performance in all aspects, he was promoted to sergeant squad leader.

During the battle at Zhu Zhenxian, he was hit by an arrow in his right arm and could not miss the line of fire. He gritted his teeth and persisted until the end of the battle, and then was forced by medical soldiers to enter the hospital for treatment.

Perhaps it was Wang Daqing's bad luck. After the arrow was removed during surgery, the wound became infected and suppurated. The military medical officer had to perform amputation surgery. He was in a coma for three days before crawling out of the hell gate.

Wang Daqing, who lost one of his right arms, had to retire and enjoy the welfare benefits of disability and second lieutenant platoon leader. He was pardoned by the emperor. Not only did he get rid of his slave status, but his sister Wang Xiaoqiu also got rid of his slave status.

Wang Daqing was not only assigned a new three-story single-family house with a small courtyard, but also ten acres of fertile farmland and five acres of vegetable land.

It's freezing cold now, and it's not the farming season. Wang Daqing, who has always been hardworking and hardworking, doesn't want to be so idle, so he sets up a barbecue stall on West Street in the capital.

When the First Royal Regiment was formed, Zhu Youjian often found time to go to the military camp to supervise training, squatted on the ground to eat with the soldiers holding a large bowl, and mingled with the soldiers, winning the support of the entire army.

One time when the military camp was adding dishes, Zhu You also built dozens of ovens and taught the soldiers how to prepare ingredients and how to grill skewers, so that all the soldiers in the army happily enjoyed a barbecue feast.

Wang Daqing was a bit flexible. He memorized the recipe of barbecue ingredients. After resting for ten and a half months after retirement, he suddenly had an idea. He used his retirement money to customize a barbecue grill, purchase charcoal, pork, mutton, beef and other materials, and opened a barbecue restaurant. stall.

The meat skewers he grilled were not only golden in color, tender and delicious, but also cheap, and his business was surprisingly good, which kept him busy.

Because Wang Daqing was missing his right arm, he asked his sister Wang Xiaoyue to help. He was responsible for lighting the fire and grilling meat, while his sister helped cut the meat and skewer it, greet the guests, collect money, etc. The business was so hot that people were jealous.

In just a few days, there were seven or eight barbecue stalls nearby, as well as two high-end barbecue restaurants. However, their business was okay at first, but in the next few days, there were fewer and fewer customers. Wang Daqing's Business is still as booming as ever.

The reason is actually very simple. Their barbecue ingredients are not as good as those prepared by Wang Daqing himself. The taste is naturally bad and customers don't like it.

Some small business owners have no choice but to change careers, some insist on studying the formula of barbecue ingredients, and some have evil thoughts because of the desire for profit.

The Wan family was just a small powerhouse in Beijing. Seeing that Wang Daqing's kebab business was booming, Wan Xing and Wan Da Gongzi borrowed a sum of money and opened a barbecue restaurant with quite luxurious decoration.

He imagined that his business was booming and he was making a lot of money, but the reality was very skinny. After a few days of opening, there were fewer and fewer customers, but Wang Daqing's business was still booming, which made him very angry and increasingly jealous.

In order to get Wang Daqing's recipe for barbecue ingredients, Wan Dagong, who was greedy for profit, became malicious and colluded with Wu Quan, the chief clerk, to falsely accuse Wang Daqing of stealing his ancestral jade pendant and put him in jail.

Seeing her brother being taken away, Wang Xiaoyue was frightened. She stood outside the county government gate and cried for a long time. Then suddenly, her brother said something to her when he was taken away by the official.

"Go to the Veterans Office on Laofu Street in Dongcheng to find Second Lieutenant Chu Yunfeng."

The Veterans Office was specially set up by Zhu Youjian to deal with various issues for veterans. The office is located at the end of Laofu Street in Dongcheng.

Because the New Army is the emperor's private army, the office only serves veterans of the New Army. This makes all retired soldiers of the old army envious, jealous and helpless, and can only lament that their fate is bad.

I don’t know since when, there has been such a rumor among the people that a good man should not be a soldier, but a top soldier; a good woman should not marry Qiu Ba, but a top soldier.

This rumor alone is enough to prove that the New Army has a very good impression in the hearts of the people. Unfortunately, the number of soldiers recruited by the New Army is not large, which makes many young men sigh and long for when the next round of recruitment for the New Army will start?

In some villages, families with sons who have gone to be soldiers but have not yet married, are said to have had some matchmakers come to propose marriage. Some anxious elders, once they have agreed on the marriage of their two children, are worried that the man will go back on his word and become anxious. My daughter sent it over, making it clear that she wanted to cook the raw rice into cooked rice.

According to the information collected by Jinyiwei spies, big-headed soldiers are very popular in rural areas and are the first choice for married women.
