"There is no shadow in the forest, and there are waves in the sky, the moon, and the sky. After the independent empty pavilion people sleep, Luoqiao has a lot of wind and water. ”

Tianjin Bridge is also known as Luoyang Bridge, the north corresponds to the end gate of the south gate of the Imperial City, connects with Dingdingmen Street in the south, the original four-corner pavilion, railing, table pillar on the bridge, there are restaurants and markets at both ends, pedestrians, cars and horses are bustling, and there is an endless stream. In the evening, walking on the bridge, you can see a crescent moon hanging from the sky, looking down on the sparkling surface of the river, and occasionally there is a loud and melodious bell. Such a beautiful scenery, how can it not make people fascinated and get drunk before drinking?

If you want to have a banquet, I'm afraid there is no better place to do it. It may be the reason why Mingtang and Heaven caught fire a few days ago, and there are very few pedestrians on the Tianjin Bridge at the moment.

The appointed time is coming soon, Lu Xiaoxian and others have come to Tianjin Bridge, but Zhan Kui is still nowhere to be seen.

"Why haven't you come yet? There was no one to receive at the bridge, which is really not hospitality. Zhang shook his head and grumbled dissatisfiedly.

It stands to reason that Zhang Meng didn't have anything to do with today's banquet, but he never had the opportunity to witness the skills of the world's first chef, so he shouted that he had to join in the fun. Lu Xiaoxian was so annoyed that he had a headache, so he had to nod his head and agree.

Seeing that Zhang Meng was going, how could the two sisters not be tempted, but they did not open their mouths to Lu Xiaoxian. Of course, Lu Xiaoxian understood the thoughts of the two sisters, and brought them with a wave of his hand.

As for Tan Kong, Xue Huaiyi has confessed, so he naturally has to follow Lu Xiaoxian every step of the way.

Together with Xuanxu, Zhao Fengtang, Chen San and Wu Liu, a group of nine of them looked at the river.

"What's the hurry?" Xuanxu on the side pointed to the winding Luoshui River in the distance, and said with a pun: "Look over there, those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Xuanxu's finger, only to see a faint light reflected at the corner of the river on the left, and as the light became brighter and brighter, a delicate painting boat turned out from the other side of the river.

It turned out that the lights were reflected from this boat.

The painting boat is made of pure wood, with white windows and red sides, and it is antique. The woman on the bow of the boat wore her hair in a high bun and wore a single jacket and pants with broken white flowers on a blue background, as if she was a servant girl of a large family.

The painting boat pushed away the blue waves and walked slowly in the direction of the Tianjin Bridge.

After a while, the painting boat had already stopped firmly on the shore, and the figure at the door of the cabin flickered, and Zhan Kui walked out of it.

He bowed to Lu Xiaoxian and the others: "Let you wait for a long time, please get on the boat." ”

Lu Xiaoxian also returned a salute: "Master Zhan, I have a lot of people here, you won't mind, right?" ”

"Of course I don't mind!"

The woman supporting the boat had already set up the gangway, and when everyone got on the painting boat in turn, Zhan Kui led the way in front of the head and led everyone into the cabin.

The cabin looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside is unique.

In the middle of the cabin is a long black wood table, which gives it a luxurious feel. There is a circle of fine porcelain round stools with blue flowers on a white background on the side of the table, but it highlights a bit of elegant temperament, and it is more than enough to sit on a dozen of them.

The cabin is surrounded by a variety of elegant varieties of flowers, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers wafting from the cabin.

Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows, and Huo Ran found that Lai Junchen and Wang Hufeng were already sitting at the top of the table.

Seeing everyone coming into the cabin, the two stood up, and Lai Junchen smiled and said: "Lu Gongzi, you originally said that you wanted to treat you first, but now you let someone take the lead, I'm really sorry!" ”

Wang Hufeng's appearance, Lu Xiaoxian was not surprised. But Lai Junchen was also present, which made him somewhat unexpected. Junchen was originally the mastermind behind the scenes, and it stands to reason that he only needs to wait and see, but who knew that he would take the initiative to demonstrate in such a hurry, this is not his style.

It can be seen that in dealing with Lu Xiaoxian, Lai Junchen has no bottom in his heart.

The more Lai Junchen is like this, the more Lu Xiaoxian can't let him succeed, otherwise once the other party is sure, he will definitely spare no effort to kill himself.

Wang Hufeng played a round on the side and said: "Whoever invites is invited, Lu Gongzi, please sit down!" ”

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoxian didn't care and said, "Then Lu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

At each of the four corners of the cabin stood a maid with a smile on her face and a fresh and lovely face. They stepped forward and led everyone to sit down at the table.

"Alright, everyone, sit down, we're about to start the boat." As soon as Lu Xiaoxian sat down, he shouted as if he had become the master.

"Sailing? Does Lu Gongzi know where we are going? Lai Junchen looked at Lu Xiaoxian with interest, and the others also showed strange expressions.

Lu Xiaoxian raised his head and said with a grin: "On the night of the fifteenth, since you came to the Luoshui River, if you don't go to admire Tianjin Xiaoyue, won't you live up to the good intentions of coming to Zhongcheng in vain." ”

The dawn moon hangs in the sky, the weeping willows on both sides of the bank are like smoke, the waves under the bridge are sparkling, the surrounding scenery is charming, and the temple bell is heard from time to time in the city, so that "Tianjin Xiaoyue" is the most quiet scenery in the "Eight Great Views of Luoyang".

"Haha, the one who knows me is none other than Mr. Lu." Lai Junchen laughed and made a gesture to the woman next to him. The woman understood and walked out of the cabin, while the remaining three women were busy serving tea and water to everyone. After a while, the hull of the ship shook slightly, apparently leaving the shore.

The boat wandered leisurely and walked on the river for about a quarter of an hour, and then came to a halt again. The woman who had gone out earlier walked into the cabin again at this time, only to see her come to Lai Junchen, and bowed down and said, "It's here." ”

"Good!" Lai Junchen happily stood up from his seat and waved his hand, "Open the window so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful moonlight!" ”

Eight jade hands flicked, and in a moment, the sandalwood windows on both sides of the cabin were opened to the maximum, and the sparkling scales and the bright moonlight were reflected in it.

South of Qiaoluo River in Tianjin, the terrain is flat; To the north of the Luohe River, the terrain is abrupt, when people cross the bridge, it is called "Lower Bridge" from north to south, and it is called "Upper Bridge" from south to north.

Everyone looked out of the window, this carving boat is stopped on the water surface 100 steps away from the bridge on the Tianjin Bridge, the beautiful scenery of the Tianjin Bridge can be seen in full view, in the jasper-like water, the moon is shining, beautiful.

"It's beautiful!" Yin Feng gently supported his chin with his fingertips, and couldn't help but admire.

Lu Xiaoxian sighed softly: "This beautiful scenery is good, but it's a pity that among the three beauties of the here and now, it can only be relegated to the last place." ”

Yin Feng blinked: "Sanmei? Which three beauties? ”

Lu Xiaoxian said seriously: "Beautiful women, delicious food, beautiful scenery." ”

Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Wang Hufeng couldn't help but look sideways.

Dare to flirt in front of Lai Junchen, the living king of Yama, I'm afraid that except for Lu Xiaoxian, there will be no second one in the entire Luoyang City.

Zhang Meng scratched and said strangely: "Beauty and beautiful scenery are fine, but where is this delicacy?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian pointed his finger at Zhan Kui: "Hehe, this, you have to ask him." ”

Zhan Kui responded with a smile: "Lu Gongzi is right, although this scenery is beautiful, if it is not accompanied by delicacies, it is a fly in the ointment after all. Before you boarded the ship, I had prepared a few cold dishes, which are just in time for you. Go ahead and bring those dishes. ”

Zhan Kui's last words were addressed to the four women.

Hearing the command, the four men walked out of the back door of the cabin, and when they entered, each of them had an extra tray in his hand, and each plate had several cold dishes in it.

The four women put the cold dishes on the table one by one, and then served them with cutlery.

These cold dishes, meat and vegetarian combinations, harmonious colors and luster, arouse everyone's appetite at a glance.

Glancing at the cold dishes in front of him, Lu Xiaoxian, Xuanxu, and Chen San couldn't help but glance at each other.

These are all new dishes in the autumn wind, and Zhan Kui's actions are obviously provocative.

The expressions of Lu Xiaoxian and the others all fell into the eyes of Lai Junchen, and he greeted warmly: "Come, you don't have to be polite, please enjoy it for a while." ”

Speaking of this, Lai Junchen waved his hand at Zhan Kui and said, "You go and prepare!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Zhan Kui strangely: "Master Zhan, what's the matter?" Won't you enjoy the scenery with us? ”

Zhan Kui smiled: "Since it is Sanmei, of course I have to prepare food for your guests!" ”

With that, he turned and walked to the stern of the boat and opened the back door of the cabin.

Seeing the situation at the stern of the ship through the hatch, Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment: a square desk, a fiery red stove, neatly placed ingredients, but all the utensils in the back hall of the restaurant, there are everything here.

At this time, everyone already understood that Zhan Kui was going to take charge of the spoon at the end of the window and serve everyone the hot dishes in the feast.

Zhan Kui stood in front of the stove, his waist straight, his wrists solid and powerful, and his eyes radiated a focused and capable light. He didn't speak, he didn't need to communicate through words at all, he wanted to show himself through those large and small kitchen knives on the table.

I saw Zhan Kui's figure with his right arm lightly relaxed, and when he turned his wrist, there was already an extra thing in his hand, which was a kitchen knife.

This is the largest and heaviest type of kitchen knife, seven inches long and five inches high, with a semi-curved edge and a ridge three points wide.

This kind of knife is usually used to chop ribs, although the whole body is black, but from a distance, it is cold and shining; The handle is clad in mahogany, and a small section of the handle has been polished to a shiny finish, revealing the history of the knife.

The use of knife skills in cooking can be divided into three categories: cutting, chopping, and chopping, among which the cutting method is the most delicate and complex, and it can also show the skill of the most. In terms of knife movement, the cutting method can be divided into pushing, cutting, and sawing; From the direction of knife handling, it can be divided into straight knife cutting and horizontal knife cutting.

Now the knife was in Zhan Kui's hand, and the gloomy light of the knife reflected the full moon in the sky, making the atmosphere a little weird.

An ordinary kitchen knife, an ordinary person, but when the two are combined, the knife has life, and the person also exudes aura and vitality.

For such a person, can you find a more appropriate word to call him besides "swordsman"?
