Chapter 256: The Prosperous Age

After Chen Zhifu came in, he bowed and saluted, not making a big salute, after all, he was at home, Zhu Biao didn't care, waved his hand to get up, Chen Zhifu smiled and said: "Your Highness can rest, if you are still a little tired, then you will hold a banquet tomorrow." ”

Zhu Biao stood up and said, "It's okay, since you're ready, let's go." ”

Governor Chen sighed: "In the end, His Royal Highness is heroic, if the minister is running from north to south like this, he has to lie in bed for half a month." ”

Zhu Biao walked out of the house with a smile, and Governor Chen followed behind with his hands behind his back and said: "A few days ago, I received the news that His Royal Highness was going to pass through Hangzhou, and the ministers and others were all eager to wear it. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Biao asked with great interest: "But the Fengle Building in the Southern Song Dynasty Lin Sheng's sentence "Outside the Mountain, Qingshan Building, Outer Building"? ”

Governor Chen nodded and said: "Your Highness is well-informed, this building has been damaged several times and rebuilt, and now it stands next to the West Lake, in which the wine and food are indeed delicious, and the scenery is even more moving." ”

Zhu Biao felt that he had nothing left to enjoy after arriving in Hangzhou, and Chen Zhifu continued: "Tonight, there are not only chefs from Fengle Building, but also the chefs of twenty-four restaurants in Hangzhou City have gathered in Fengle Building. ”

Zhu Biao kept smiling on his face, but he was complaining in his heart that you think too highly of the imperial chefs in Beijing, they are basically old people who have been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and the cooking skills are not unpalatable.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "It's better not to spend too much, it's too much." ”

Governor Chen opened the curtain of the carriage and helped Zhu Biao to get into the carriage and said: "Your Highness, you don't need to worry too much, the ministers have family resources, and it is reasonable that they can be used to serve the sovereign." ”

Zhu Biao will not say more, the frame runs all the way, straight to the West Lake, and now there are many tourists next to the West Lake at the beginning of the lanterns, and they are all children of wealthy businessmen and families, and there are many more beautiful ladies.

Zhu Biao's frame stopped in front of a group of middle-aged people, and before he could get out of the car, the group of people knelt down happily: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

Zhu Biao walked down from the frame with a smile, wearing a black satin robe with gold piping, embroidered with the appearance of a dragon, a moon-white waist, and his black hair was tied behind him with a gold ring.

After getting off the bus station and settling down, he first glanced at the girls and ladies in the distance, and then looked down at the officials on the ground, estimating that it was the daughter of this group of people, and he wanted to take advantage of the lack of people in the East Palace to send the girl in.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to let them get up, Governor Chen began to introduce on the side, Zhu Biao just nodded, most people are not qualified to let Zhu Biao stop.

Governor Chen naturally knew that after introducing a few people, he didn't say more, and a group of people brought Zhu Biao into Fengle Building like a moon.

This building was opened on the edge of the West Lake outside the Yongjin Gate, used to be called the Zhongle Pavilion, and later changed to the towering green building, and was very late to be the Fengle Building. It is not so much a restaurant as a garden, the building is quiet, the terraces are all over, the moon pool made of stone bricks, the swing and so on attract most visitors in the spring.

Of course, because Zhu Biao arrived tonight, the venue had already been cleared, and after entering, he saw a group of people kneeling, Zhu Biao waved his hand and said no more, and the officials below would naturally arrange everything.

After walking up to a high-rise building in the middle, the officials around Zhu Biao wanted to be familiar with each other, and introduced the scenery of this place to Zhu Biao.

Why does it seem that you eat here every day, but Zhu Biao didn't ask in the end, what if people are like Governor Chen, what if their ancestors pass down thousands of family fortunes, and they are willing to invite their colleagues to eat for free, which is not illegal.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, it is enough that Hangzhou is generally good, and Zhu Biao has no intention of delving into other things now, after all, there are still too many dilapidated places.

Downstairs found that there are flying bridges, railings or corridors between the buildings of Fengle Building, the songs are the same, colluding with each other, at night, under the reflection of the lanterns, the bead curtain jade curtain, the beautiful lintel is sparkling, just like the Yao Pond.

Zhu Biao walked on it with great interest, and he didn't pay attention to what the officials on the side said, and it was rare to take a break to play according to his heart, Zhu Biao walked for a while before stopping at a building near the West Lake.

I don't know if it's because he came or because of it, there are many lanterns hanging on the shore of the West Lake, and the West Lake is like a piece of jasper, which is particularly beautiful.

And downstairs, there are many people looking up at the young man by the fence, and the pretty and graceful ladies are looking forward to His Royal Highness and waiting to look down, see her in the light, and then fall in love at first sight...

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to look at the girl, turned around and returned to the house, one after another delicacies and wine were served, the officials had been talking about something, and Zhu Biao also cheered up to deal with it.

Everyone knows that this is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the prince, and the officialdom didn't say anything more, and the best musicians and maiko in Hangzhou also started to perform on the side, looking at the prince with straight eyes.

In the Jiangnan literary atmosphere, there are a lot of poems and lyrics at the banquet, and everyone is indeed not a straw bag, everyone is quite interesting, although I don't know what is behind them, but at least Zhu Biao's appetite is not poured on the surface.

The delicacies on the table will be placed in front of Zhu Biao first, and Governor Chen is still a glutton, no matter what kind of thing he can tell interesting things or practices, which is really funny.

The first dish is called Qiankun fish head, the portion is very large, the fish head is delicate, and the gelatinous fish brain is mellow and smooth; The side dishes tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots have also absorbed the original juice of the fish soup, which is delicious, and then there is a dish of eight-treasure tofu, which is finely chopped and white and tender, and is scattered with shiitake mushrooms and pine nuts minced and chives, and the ingredients are fragrant, and the entrance is like soup.

There is also a lotus leaf flour steamed pork is also very good, it is said that the lotus leaf of the West Lake is used, the fried rice noodles and minced meat are mixed together, wrapped with lotus leaves, steamed in the pot, generally need to be steamed for about an hour, the meat fragrant rice flour is glutinous, and the food is not forgotten.

Zhu Biao ate a few bites of each delicacies, and he was full of these dozens of dishes, not to mention that this wine has not been broken, everyone in the officialdom is talented, and his speech is good and interesting, and it is estimated that there is no pressure to be a celebrity in Wei and Jin.

After the wine and food were full, the officials made eye contact and said that it is also a beautiful thing to visit the West Lake at night, saying that Zhu Biao will naturally not object to this part, and the group went out of Fengle Building, and the young man in brocade clothes and beautiful women on the shore of the West Lake gathered together for some reason.

After Zhu Biao walked out, they all came forward to salute, the teenagers were either elegant and refined, or arrogant and talented, each with its own characteristics, and the ladies were either graceful or bold and bright, all of which made Zhu Biao's eyes shine.

Unconsciously gathered into a large wave of people, Zhu Biao was a little intoxicated, the whole person seemed to be in a prosperous era, there were no coastal pirates, no northern Mongolia, no poverty in the Central Plains, no court struggle, no foreign vassal attack.
