Jiuxing was on the head, Meng Kai's face became more and more red, and he asked Xu Huang: "Nephew Xu, we have drunk so many cups, and you haven't introduced a few friends around you, can't you make them think that Qingzhou City is a barbaric place, but it is rude!"

Hearing what Meng Kai said, the relatives sitting next to him all stopped the chopsticks in their hands, wanting to know who the few people sitting next to Xu Huang were. Being able to bring Zhou Youliang's brother-in-law to the Meng family is naturally not an unknown person, and the people present dare not despise them.

Xu Huang got up with a wine glass and introduced the two next to him first: "This is Brother Zhongyang Zhong, who is a well-known figure in several nearby state cities, and even my brother-in-law respects him as a guest." Some iron tools and other livelihoods in other states depend on Brother Zhong's words. Even in the martial arts rivers and lakes, if there is an enemy meeting and the two sides cannot reconcile, whether it is a sect or not, you have to invite Brother Zhong to be a lobbyist, in recent days to Qingzhou City to relax, we have eaten all the restaurants, but I heard that the Meng family's cook is a must in Qingzhou City, so I brought Brother Zhong to disturb. ”

Zhong Yang raised his wine glass and drank it all, such a hearty personality won the favor of the people present. "Brother Xu has won the prize. I'm just a broker in a nearby state town, so how can I get on the table. It's just that I heard that some of the sewer and other things in Lvbaoju are delicious, so I can't resist this temptation and come to Qingzhou City. And because Meng Qing was so talented, he entered Bailu Academy, so he came to eat with Brother Xu, and I hoped that Master Meng would forgive me. ”

When Meng Kai heard this, he knew that Zhong Yang's reputation on the road was definitely not low, and he could be respected by Zhou Youliang as a guest, there must be something special about him, and now that he came to his own house, how could he miss such an opportunity to make friends: "Brother Zhong has seen and laughed, and I can appreciate this thin face to come to the cold house, and my old face feels extraordinarily bright." I do some restaurant business in Huzhou, so I am a little particular about eating, and the chefs in this kitchen are all brought back from Huzhou, so the taste is very authentic. You will not be unkind to you when you come to my Meng Mansion tonight. Someone's coming!"

As soon as Meng Kai's words fell, an old man bowed down: "Master, what do you command?"

Meng Kai pointed at Zhong Yang and said, "This distinguished guest likes to eat water and other things, you go to the back kitchen to explain, and let Zhang Mazi make some more large intestines, county liver, duck paws and other things and quickly serve them." It's not early in the night, so you have to burn the fire faster. ”

The old man thought for a while, and whispered with some hesitation: "Master, tonight's water and other things have all been cooked, but there are no such ingredients in the back kitchen. However, there are a lot of duck blood and other things, so you can only use these ......"

Meng Kai interrupted with some annoyance: "The distinguished guest is coming from afar, how can he go back on an empty stomach?"

Zhong Yang heard that there were no ingredients in the back kitchen, and said with some unfinished feelings: "Master Meng, eating such things is an addiction, tonight I tasted the craftsmanship of the chefs of the Meng Mansion, no less than those in the Green Treasure Residence, and I really want to be rewarded." Since there are no ingredients in the back kitchen, it doesn't hurt to drink more wine and eat more other dishes. ”

Meng Kai raised his wine glass, saluted Zhong Yang and said, "It's okay, let the subordinates do such small things, you can just wait for the delicious food." ”

At this moment, Meng Qing glanced at the old man, took him to the door and reprimanded: "I said Steward Sun, why are you getting more and more confused? There are no county livers, large intestines and other things in the back kitchen, so they will be killed, and if you can't find chickens, ducks, pigs and other things, then you will go to the centralized merchant to buy them, and I don't care if he falls asleep or not." It's all the guests who come tonight, and they just want to take this bite, but they can't let me lose face. ”

Steward Sun snorted, and hurriedly went out from the side door with dozens of subordinates, and after a while, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded.

Qin Chuan lay on the tiles, and secretly admired the Meng family's generosity in his heart, he really had money to make ghosts grind. I had to tiptoe when I came out during the curfew, for fear of being caught and bumped into. How do you know that the subordinates of the Meng family carried a lantern and rode out on a horse, while those hunters turned a blind eye and let them disturb people's dreams without making a noise.

It seems that the characters brought by Xu Huang are quite weighty, otherwise Master Meng would not have such a big battle. However, the other two people around him didn't know what their names were, especially the thin scholar's appearance, Qin Chuan always felt a little dangerous.

Xu Huang saw that everyone was still standing, and introduced him to Meng Kai again: "This is Brother Luo Youju Luo, who is doing some business with me in Qingzhou City. However, he has a large industry in Ningzhou, and he can be regarded as a rich party. Xu Huang deliberately concealed that he and Luo Youju were in the gambling house business, and many of the Meng family members sitting here were frequent customers of their own gambling houses, so they couldn't let them see anything.

Luo Youju also directly put a cup into his throat, turned the cup upside down and said: "When I first arrived in the treasure land, I hope that Master Meng will take care of it." If you have the opportunity to go to Ningzhou, you must let me be the east. The big guy also knows that Ningzhou has four uniques. ”

Hearing Ningzhou's four uniques, some of the old people present couldn't help laughing, feeling that the relationship with Luo Youju was a little closer. Ningzhou has prospered in trade since ancient times, and the iron knife in Ningzhou, the dendrobium that grows in the endless mountain, and the cloud tea on the thousand-year-old tea tree are known as the three uniques. In recent years, Ningzhou has been very lively, many merchants come here to rest, often bring exotic beauties over, many rich businessmen have bought back as concubines, and for a time the nearby state cities are proud of this. Therefore, it is also known as the fourth absolute in Ningzhou.

Meng Kai smiled, pointed at the thin scholar and asked, "Then what about this little brother, you have to be introduced." ”

Without waiting for him to answer, Zhong Yang spoke first: "This is my friend, known as Qianzi Period, a famous family in Ningzhou, whose ancestors were on top of the temples in the capital, and later missed the spring bamboo shoots in his hometown, so he resigned and returned to Ningzhou, bought thousands of acres of fertile land, and settled here since then." This trip to Qingzhou City, it is inevitable to be lonely when you go alone, so I asked him to take care of him. ”

Meng Kai raised his wine glass and toasted to him: "Scholarly family, my generation yearns for it, come, Brother Qian, please take a seat." ”

Qian Ziqi drank half a glass of wine and sat down, but he was speechless, and several relatives of the Meng family present were a little indignant. Ordinary people drink a cup of wine, why did he leave half of it, obviously looking down on the Meng family. And he didn't even say hello, presumably from Ningzhou with a sense of arrogance. It's just that because he and Xu Huang got acquainted, everyone was not happy.

At this moment, Qin Chuan heard the sound of horses' hooves on the street getting closer and closer, and could even smell the smell of blood in the air, it seemed that the housekeeper who went out had already bought the ingredients and was rushing to the back kitchen, but I don't know how many people were disturbed tonight.

Qin Chuan lay motionless on the tiles, for fear of making any sound, but the night in early spring was still cold, although he was wearing a night coat, after all, he was very thin and not cold-resistant, Qin Chuan always felt cold hands and feet, and really wanted to go down and drink a cup of hot wine to warm up his lower body. In his heart, he urged this banquet to end early, so that he could follow Meng Qing back to the room to start.

When the cup was being pushed and replaced, Jiuqu large intestine, stir-fried duck county, braised beef tongue and other items were served, and Steward Sun's head was still sweating, showing that he was in a hurry.

These dishes are shiny in color and steaming hot, making them look very delicious on a slightly cold early spring night.

Zhong Yang unceremoniously moved his chopsticks, picked up a piece of Jiuqu large intestine and said with relish: "Yes, yes, this old man Meng's cooking skills are indeed superb." Although the taste of this Jiuqu large intestine is not the same as that of Lvbaoju, it is still very delicious, especially the sauce poured at the end, which should be the exclusive secret recipe of Master Meng. ”

When Meng Kai heard someone praising his cook, he also replied very happily: "It's over, it's over." This sauce is the capital of Zhang Mazi's life, and I have several restaurants in Huzhou, and I also rely on him to open the façade. ”

Qin Chuan smelled the smell of these water through the tiles that were uncovered little by little, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. immediately regretted it, and secretly said that it was not good.

Qian Ziqi was holding chopsticks to pick up the cow's tongue, but suddenly stopped the chopsticks and frowned.

Seeing this, Zhong Yang asked, "What's wrong?"
