At this time, in Tokyo at night, the bus from Yangzhou also arrived, and the passengers who came this time were not only the families of officials and merchants, but also the pawns of dealers. The test run allowed passengers to experience first-hand the smoothness, comfort and speed of the train. This is, of course, for carriages and boats. The square of the railway station is brightly lit and crowded, and there is a noisy and lively scene. Many passengers were interested in the buses outside the station, and many passengers were guided by friends and family in Tokyo, but most of them still took the bus to their destination. At this time, in a long pavilion in the square, there were five young men talking to each other, one of them was wearing a hood and a blue robe, eight feet tall (one meter eight), thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, a resolute and handsome face, very strong, and the other six people respected him. I saw a middle-aged man with a medium stature and a white beard and said, "Young helper, let's find a hotel to stay in first, and rest for a while, we will discuss something tomorrow." I saw the young man and said: "Uncle Yang, what you said is very true, let's stay for the time being, but the night market in Tokyo is the first in the Great Song Dynasty, let's go see it tonight, and I invite everyone to drink." The others applauded, and they rented a carriage and headed for the inner city.

These five people settled down in a hotel called "Home Inn" on the side of the Bianhe River in the inner city, which is not far from the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the five people went out to find a place to drink, and the group came to a food street, the street is full of special snacks, the fragrance is overflowing, it makes people salivate, and they just want to have a feast. They came to a barbecue stall, there are a lot of people here, the stall owner is Nikoli, he has improved his barbecue process according to the method Meng Ming said. Let people build a two-meter-long rectangular oven, and prepare a net rack, barbecue fork, barbecue tongs (to pick up raw food), and barbecue spatula tools. Ingredients: Barbecue ingredients: mainly meat, fish and seafood: meat food is the protagonist of barbecue food, which needs to be marinated in advance with salt, monosodium glutamate, ginger juice and other seasonings, and worn with bamboo skewers. Fish and seafood can be selected: live fish, fresh squid, live shrimp, hairy crabs, fresh shellfish skewers, etc., be sure to be fresh. Fresh squid can be curled directly on the fire, and it can be fixed with a bamboo or toothpick.

Vegetables and fruits: potatoes and corn, sweet potatoes, yams, taro, greens, garlic, mushrooms and other current vegetables

Pasta soy products: steamed bread slices, bread slices, tofu cubes, yuba and so on, which are not only delicious but also filling. Baked pasta also has a stomach-nourishing effect. The basic seasonings are salt, cumin powder, salt and pepper, black pepper, chili powder, and blended oil.

Since he adopted Meng Mingjiao's barbecue method, there have been more and more diners at the stall. Nikoli's craft has become more refined, and the grilled skewers are delicious. In particular, grilled lamb skewers, grilled live fish, grilled squid, grilled chicken wings, grilled chicken gizzards, etc. are the most famous, so Nikoli's barbecue stall has also become a golden sign of this food street.

The five of them sat down at the stall, directly ordered a roast leg of mutton, and successively ordered signature dishes such as grilled fish and grilled seafood. The people didn't eat on the train, and now it's too late, so they're all hungry. When they smelled the unique aroma of barbecued meat, they immediately moved their index fingers, and immediately began to eat and drink, and in a moment the food on the table was swept away, and the three wine jars were also emptied. Then the young man asked for a roast leg of mutton and ten skewers of mutton, and everyone ate them together, and only then was they full. Then they all had a full burp, and some of them patted their stomachs with satisfaction, despite their greasy hands. Completely ignoring the weird, disdainful eyes of the people around him.

After dinner, the five of them asked for tea, melon seeds and dried fruits, and chatted while eating. One of them, a stout young man in his twenties with a dark face, said: "Young gang leader, Tokyo is really much more prosperous than our Yangzhou, and I don't know how many things to eat alone. Let's stay a few more days, and it's nice to have a good time and wander around. I saw the white-faced middle-aged man and said, "Ah Niu, don't be greedy, we still have a lot of things to move around and deal with, how can we have the time to hang out!" This young man, known as Ah Niu, looked more afraid of this middle-aged man, and after being reprimanded, he sat aside without saying a word and hanging his head. The young man at the head said: "Uncle Yang, in fact, we are here to find out the news, and there is nothing important, after we are done, let's stay for a few more days and enjoy the prosperity of Tokyo, and it is not in vain to make this trip." After hearing this, the white-faced middle-aged man didn't say anything, so he had to nod in approval. The other three young men were secretly overjoyed, especially the young man named Ah Niu, who was even more overjoyed, and said directly, "Young Gang Master Shengming". In the end, the five men left their seats and returned to the hotel to rest.

The five people in this line are all members of the Yangzhou Boat Gang, and the leader is Chang Yilin, the leader of the Young Gang, who is the Young Gang leader of the Boat Gang; The other four, the white-faced and beardless middle-aged man is Yang Fenglong, the military advisor in the gang; The other three are the sons of several hall masters in the gang, the real name of Ah Niu is Yan Dazhu, and the two of them, among them, the burly and ugly young man is named Lu Tie; The last handsome and thin young man was named He Xiuqing. They came this time to inquire about the latest policy trends of the imperial court on Cao Yun and to meet with the principals of the Bianliang Boat Gang.

In fact, Chang Yiming will go to meet Fan Zhongyan tomorrow, Fan Zhongyan's hometown is Wu County, Suzhou, Yangzhou and Suzhou are adjacent, Fan Zhongyan has also been the master of Suzhou for two years, he is known as a virtuous name, and he is quite prestigious in Jiangnan. In addition, Fan Zhongyan was young and poor, and he was sponsored by Chang Chuanming, and the Chang family was a world friend with him.

As for the big boss of the Bianliang Boat Gang, Pan Zhangshou has a close relationship with the Pan family in Tokyo, and according to the grapevine, this person is a distant side branch of the Pan family. He has been taking care of the Bianliang Boat Gang for more than 20 years, and he is a proper snake, and the government and yamen in Tokyo will give him a little thin noodles. Therefore, he knows everything about the decrees of the imperial court. That night, Chang Yiming discussed the relevant visit with Yang Fenglong, and prepared worship posts and gifts. and decided to send someone to Pan Lou early tomorrow morning to book a banquet and prepare a banquet for Fan Zhongyan and Yang Fenglong.
