The waiter who delivered lunch was still dressed in a well-trimmed green coat, with a degree of advance and retreat, respectful and polite, and the smile on his face seemed to be printed in a mirror.

Xu You cleaned his hands, beckoned Zuo Tong and the autumn equinox to eat together, the dining table is placed with ghee, milk curd, yusheng, white mushroom, steamed lotus root, gourd leaf soup, Qiang boiled deer head and so on more than a dozen dishes, there are meat and vegetarian, there are cooking and steaming, exquisite white porcelain is perfectly matched with all kinds of dishes, from knife work to plating, from color to fragrance, a little subtlety, it can be seen that the elegance and thoughtfulness of the owner here, just like a good word from the heart, there is no entrance, it has made people salivate.

Xu You tasted a mouthful of white mushroom, which was smooth and fragrant, and suddenly had a great appetite, and said: "This is good, I haven't eaten it elsewhere, is it unique to your Qiantang?" ”

The waiter replied: "What Lang Jun said is right, nowadays Qiantang people love to make this white dish, but the root cause is that it was passed from the Hu people of the Northern Wei Dynasty to Jiangdong many years ago. ”

It turned out to be the food style of ethnic minorities, no wonder the taste was so heavy, Xu You asked curiously, "How to do it?" Ha, if it involves your store's secret method, then there is no need to talk about it. ”

The waiter smiled and said, "There's nothing that can't be said, everyone knows the practice of Bai Yu in Qiantang, but it depends on how well the fire is done." Take the goose, duck, chicken boiled in white, mixed with deer bones, cut into the size of three inches long and one inch wide, go down to the cup, cover it with three or four pieces of seaweed, and use salt, vinegar and gravy for an hour before it can be served to the table. However, this dish is slightly greasy, after Lang Jun has used it a little, you can taste the steamed lotus root again, the meat fragrance in the tongue is not dispersed, supplemented by the cool and soft glutinous lotus root slices, and there is a different taste. ”

Xu Youyan obeyed, took a piece of steamed lotus root and chewed it carefully, and sure enough, as the waiter said, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue were stimulated by the interaction of two completely different ingredients, which made people have an endless aftertaste.

"Steamed lotus, I know a little bit about this, wash the mud lotus root with water and rice and bran, cut off the lotus root, take the honey juice to fill the lotus root holes, pour the su noodles, seal the head, remove the noodles after steaming, wash off the honey, peel off the skin, cut it into even pieces with a knife, and lay it. Right? ”|

The waiter's smile did not decrease, and said, "Lang Jun is talented, what he said is word for word!" ”

"Talking, sounds good!" Xu You laughed and said, "Wind Tiger, look at the reward!" ”

Zuo Yan took out more than 100 yuan, and was about to hand it over, but the waiter bowed down and declined, his tone was very respectful, and said, "Xie Langjun rewards!" However, it is already a great blessing for our servants to be able to serve the nobles with a humble body, and we dare not receive this reward again. ”

Xu You smiled: "It's not too little, right? Are there any people in the world who don't love money? ”

As soon as the waiter heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, folded his hands on his forehead, and said: "Lang Jun is serious, the villain has food and lodging here all day long, there has never been a shortage of summer clothes and winter clothes, and he also receives seventy percent more money than other places every month, which is enough for weekdays." Villains also love money, but if there is too much money and they don't know how to spend it, it is better to be content. ”

"There is no greater misfortune than not being satisfied, you can understand that this level is already more comfortable than most people in the world. In this case, I am not reluctant, go, remember not to come to the yard at will if you have nothing to do, I like to be quiet, and I am most annoyed by others to disturb me. ”

"No!"

After the waiter left, Zuo Yan sighed: "Now even I want to meet the master of this reverse journey......"

Xu You said with a smile: "Being able to train the most ordinary servants under him is so outstanding, the master is probably also one of the best people in Qiantang City." If you want to meet, you don't have to rush for a while, and there will be opportunities to deal with it in the future. ”

After lunch, Zuo Yan went out to find a doctor, Xu You slept with clothes, and then woke up looking out the window at sunset, asked about the autumn equinox, only to know that a doctor surnamed Liu had come to see the illness of the frost, and the break was also a cold certificate, but the prescription was changed, mainly medicinal stones, supplemented by dietary therapy, and prescribed medicine for seven days, so that I could go and see it after taking it.

"Feeling better?"

"Well, the doctor said that fortunately, the medicine was timely, and the river did not delay too long, and it should be cured after a period of time."

Xu You put down a matter of concern, got up and washed his face, walked to the ancient locust tree in the courtyard, raised his head with his hands, and quietly looked at the last red cloud.

Like flesh and blood burning!

I don't know how long it took, Zuo Yan pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and saw Xu You hurriedly walking to him, and said, "Lang Jun! ”

Xu You woke up from his gaze and said with a smile: "How is the house looking?" ”

"I asked the waiter of the rebel brigade to introduce a few tooth wretchants, but either they don't have such a big house, or they are in a busy city, and the surrounding areas are mixed, and I ran five or six places in a row, but I didn't find a suitable one."

"There is no rush in this matter, look for it slowly, and you will always find the right one. You're tired too, so go and rest first. ”

Early the next morning, Zuo Yan continued to go out to look for Yayu, the autumn equinox was taking care of the frost, Xu You was fine, came out of the courtyard in the northwest, and under the guidance of the waiter, came to a small building in the middle, which is a restaurant that is also open to the outside and inside, with three floors up and down, full of seats, and the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps is endless.

The waiter helped Xu You find a seat in the prime location by the window on the third floor, Xu You casually ordered two side dishes and asked for a pot of tea juice, which is the so-called flower tea, which has a slightly sweet taste. Then looking into the distance, Qiantang Lake, which has been praised by countless people throughout the ages, looms in the smoke and waves.

Sitting until noon, Xu You went downstairs, turned a few corridors, and when he passed a guest house, he suddenly heard a noisy voice: "Still say it's not you?" There are only two of you and me in the same house, I lost the deer breast, how can you get rid of it! ”

Not all of the guest buildings are exclusive courtyards like Xu You's residence, but there are also guest houses, which are divided into upper rooms, middle rooms, and lower rooms according to the degree of luxury, as well as bunks for servants and subordinates. Sometimes, some travelers who are not too wealthy and don't want to go to the shop to crowd with others, they will share the money of the guest house with other unknown travelers.

Since the Wuhu Rebellion, the north and the south have been opposed, and most of the post stations and post booths in the early years have been deserted, and the anti-tourism industry has flourished. Due to its private nature, it does not pay too much attention to the identity of passers-by and guests staying in the hotel, which also causes the phenomenon of "adultery and death, and many dependences" in the reverse journey is very serious.

Lost property disputes like this often occur several times a day, and everyone is not surprised. Xu You shook his head secretly, deer breast is not an idle food, it can even be used as a coin on the market, no wonder the owner is so angry.

He was just about to leave, a person smashed the door from the guest house and fell out, Xu You couldn't dodge, so he had to reach out and hug it, a strong surge came, he staggered back a few steps, his back hit the pillar of the corridor, a sharp pain in his chest, and returned to normal in an instant.

There was a person in the guest house, with a slender figure and a handsome appearance, but there was a black mole the size of a bean on the inside of the nasal socket, which completely destroyed the overall beauty. He folded a scarf on his headband, wore a wide robe, and had clogs under his feet, his face was full of anger, and he said: "If you don't hand over the deer breast today, I will make you unable to leave Qiantang!" ”
