Chu Ci and the three of them were invited by the servants arranged by Zhuang Zisheng to go up to the Star Picking Tower,

There are many high-rise buildings in Xunwei Zhai, and the tallest one is this star picking building. It is second only to the Eight Wing Towers of the City Lord's Mansion in Yangzhou City.

Zhou Jiuzhang stood at the window, saw the pedestrians downstairs like ants, and panted: "Zhuang Zisheng, this grandson, must have deliberately arranged the place on a high-rise building to fix me." ”

He gasped and said, "If it weren't for the jokes of this grandson, I wouldn't have come up." ”

Bu Ju frowned slightly, "How can you become vulgar after staying at the inn for one night." ”

Chu Ci smiled slightly, "He was originally a rough person, and when he was with a coarser person, he would inevitably be taken badly." ”

Fortunately, the rest of his life was not here, otherwise he would have to argue with him, and the shopkeeper Yu has always claimed to be a civilized person.

After the servant went in to pay his respects, Zhuang Zisheng quickly went out to greet him, followed by the young son of the Cai family.

Regarding the origin of the dog's name, Yu Sheng mentioned it to Zhou Jiuzhang when he was in the inn, and he firmly remembered it.

Now after seeing the little son of the Cai family, Zhou Jiuzhang couldn't help but think of the inn dog, and couldn't help grinning: "Ho, the dog is also there." ”

"Dog?" Zhuangzi, who was dressed in white, was stunned and looked around, "Who is the dog?"

Zhou Jiuzhang pointed to the little son of the Cai family, "He." ”

The little son of the Cai family was inexplicable, "Did Zhou Gongzi admit his mistake? ”

Zhou Jiuzhang pretended to touch his head honestly, "It's really wrong." ”

Zhuang Zisheng glanced at him coldly and smiled: "Brother Chu, Zhuang just got a fine porcelain, just ask you to palm your eyes." ”

Chu Ci said modestly: "Don't dare to say it with palm eyes, long eyes are real." ”

They entered the room hand in hand, the window was open, and the wind blew in from the lake not far away, blowing the veil.

There are already a lot of beautiful women waiting in the room, and there are also a lot of sons and brothers with heads and faces.

After they saw Chu Ci and the three of them, they all stood up and greeted each other. For them, the sons of these four major families are untouchable.

As Zhuang Zisheng clapped his hands, the wine and delicacies were put on the table one by one.

If it was usual, Zhou Jiuzhang would have had a great appetite earlier, but today there was Zhuangzisheng who was in the way of his eyes, and he had tasted the cooking skills of the rest of his life, and he couldn't help but lose his appetite when he looked at these again.

He grabbed the maid, "Are there any buns?"

The maid shook her head, "If you want the child, I'll let the cook do it." The maid said.

"It's smaller, and it's filled with soup. Zhou Jiuzhang instructed.

"I'll ask the cook. The maid retreated with some embarrassment.

Zhuang Zisheng naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity to ridicule, "I remember that Brother Zhou's taste is very good, why do you eat steamed buns now?"

The other noble sons also looked at Zhou Jiuzhang with amusement. They don't have many opportunities to eat steamed buns at home, let alone come to the famous Xunwei Zhai to eat steamed buns.

Zhou Jiuzhang glanced at everyone proudly and said, "You are cicadas who don't know the snow, and your knowledge is shallow, so I don't blame you." ”

"Hey, what do you mean, Zhou Jiuzhang?" the people present were not convinced.

Zhou Jiuzhang said arrogantly: "What, I wronged you, have you enjoyed that white and tender food?"

"You've eaten shit once, and you're not done yet. Everyone teased him, about this, Zhou Jiuzhang showed off not once or twice.

"I'm sorry, buddy stepped on ...... again" Zhou Jiuzhang said half a sentence before he came to his senses, "Ahhh ”

He continued: "I recently tasted another delicacy where the soup was poured into small buns, and that was really delicious. ”

"That little bun is soft and fragrant, and when you bite into it, the soup overflows......," Zhou Jiuzhang described ostentatiously, hooking himself and the saliva of others.

"Zhou Jiuzhang, where did you taste it, is there a new delicacy in Xunwei Zhai?" someone asked strangely.

"This delicacy is called soup dumplings, as for where you tasted it," Zhou Jiuzhang smiled proudly, "I won't tell you." ”

Everyone condemned Zhou Jiuzhang, and Zhuang Zisheng, who was robbed of the crowd, said: "Don't be deceived by Brother Zhou, I don't believe that there are delicacies that Xunwei Zhai does not have." ”

He looked at Zhou Jiuzhang, "Isn't Brother Zhou letting the cook do it now?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Everyone nodded, "If Xunwei Zhai doesn't have it, wouldn't it smash the signboard of Liu's shopkeeper?"

"Who is going to smash my Xunwei Zhai's sign?" said one person with a smile, and quickly entered the house, it was the owner of Xunwei Zhai.

He has a goatee, a tall figure, and a long, slender, close-fitting black robe.

His name has never been known to outsiders, and the people of Yangzhou City only know his surname Liu, known as Liu Zhang, and the legend comes from Fuyu Mountain.

Fuyu Mountain is well-known to people because of a strange beast, its shape is like a tiger and an ox's tail, its sound is like a barking dog, its name is called Yi, good cannibalism.

Because this shopkeeper Liu is also in the slave business, he is called Liu Yu behind the back of Yangzhou people.

Everyone said what Zhou Jiuzhang had just said about the soup dumplings.

Shopkeeper Liu asked with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi, where do you eat such simple food, which makes you never forget?"

Zhou Jiuzhang won't say the inn, "A small country shop." ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't ask any more questions, he came to see the treasure that made Zhuang Zisheng show off with great fanfare.

Zhuang Zisheng was frowning when he was dominated by Zhou Jiuzhang, and immediately said proudly after hearing the intention of Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu is also knowledgeable, just help me appreciate it." ”

He turned around and asked Cai Ming to take it out.

By this time, the porcelain had changed boxes, and was wrapped in layers of soft and precious silk.

Everyone else gathered around to look at the treasure in the box, but Chu Ci and the three were indifferent.

Zhuang Zisheng looked up and saw it, thinking that the three of them couldn't hold their face, and they became more and more proud.

He pushed aside the son-in-law who was surrounded by Chu Ci, "Let's let go, let Brother Chu see it clearly." ”

Everyone also knew that they were secretly competing, and they got out of the way.

Cai Ming even leaned a little towards Chu Ci's side, and opened it layer by layer, revealing a dignified and beautiful blue and white porcelain vase.

"Wow. The crowd was amazed.

Chu Ci and the three of them reluctantly pretended to be jealous, and they happened to be seen by Zhuang Zisheng, who looked up with a smile, which made him more and more proud.

It's just that Zhou Jiuzhang is an amazing ghost.

"Brother Zhou, can you actually see the extraordinaryness of this porcelain?" Zhuang Zisheng asked casually.

Zhou Jiuzhang wanted to scold, but he just made a clumsy speech, secretly hating that he had learned less for the rest of his life, so he could only tease: "Didn't I cooperate with you to perform, you can't turn a blind eye?"

Zhuang Zisheng was embarrassed for a while, and secretly scolded himself for asking more, but he was really full of food.

"Huh?" The real actor began to perform, and Bu Juqi said: "Brother Chu, this porcelain is very familiar, is it the one you want to buy but don't sell?"

Chu Ci took a closer look at it and said enviously: "Yes, yes, Brother Zhuang, how did you buy it, he didn't sell it when I first came out with ten times." ”

"Buy?" Zhuangzi said proudly, "Treasures of things, virtuous people live in them, of course they can't buy it, this treasure is given by the owner." ”

Chu Ci shook his head, "Alas, Brother Zhuang really has face, I told him in every possible way, but the master just didn't sell it, and finally exchanged it for some broken bottles and cans." ”

Zhuang Zisheng said: "Look at the exquisiteness of this porcelain, even if it is broken and broken, it must be extraordinary, Brother Chu might as well let us see it." ”

"Forget it, forget it, it's still not ugly. Chu Ci didn't agree.

The more this is the case, the more Zhuang Zisheng will not let him go, "Appreciating treasures, appreciating treasures, there must be a high and low truth or falsehood, Brother Chu must not shirk." ”

"Okay, then I'll show you it. Chu Ci pretended to be reluctant.
