Cai Qiao took the order and left, and Li Yu hurriedly got up to stop him, but where did Cai Qiao move quickly.

"How can there be a reason for a guest to break the bank?"

Li Yu had already called his family to chase him, but was stopped by Chen Kai's other entourage. Seeing this, Chen Kai said bluntly: "I heard from a local scholar in the Temple of Literature that Brother Fan Ren arrived in Hangzhou, and he came to see him. It stands to reason that when you come down, it is also reasonable for Brother Fan to break the bank. It's just that this time I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring a gift, so it's even more difficult to ask Brother Fan Fan to break the bank. So, please don't shirk it. ”

Chen Kai's words were not said directly, but Li Yu understood that he was in a bad situation now, and last year because of the construction of water conservancy in the township and a family surnamed Hu in Shengtang Hu Village, there was a lawsuit, because "the surname Hu was deceitful, things did not go as expected, and the lawsuit was suspended", so he had no choice but to sell Yiyuan in his hometown and go north to Hangzhou. At the beginning of this year, I have to feed a large family, and my life is poor, although I have friends to help, but I am still struggling, and I want to cry without tears. Thinking about it, Chen Kai had already seen his situation, but he was just alleviating the embarrassment by not bringing gifts.

The blessing of low housing prices at the time of Toming still has tiles to cover the head. Thinking of this, Li Yu was even more embarrassed. In this regard, Chen Kai didn't see it, and talked with Li Yu and the owner of the boat who led the way, and some of what he saw and heard along the way from Lanxi to Hangzhou was also enjoyed by the guests and hosts. After some time, Cai Qiao came with a few juniors carrying food boxes.

"Host, the wine and other dishes will take some time."

"It's okay, eat first, don't rush."

The people of the Li family moved the table in the courtyard, Li Yu, Chen Kai, the shipowner, the Li family's family and the entourage of Chen Kai and the shipowner, even if the female relatives of the family were inconvenient to show up, not to talk about dignity and humility, a table was not enough. So, the people of the Li family hurriedly went out and borrowed two tables from a neighbor, which was barely enough.

The dishes were brought to the table one by one, and as far as I could see, not to mention that the dishes were all local famous dishes, the prices were expensive, but only the utensils that held the dishes were not bargains.

Seeing this, recalling Chen Kai's sentence "can be eaten", just Li Yu, even the owner of the boat was embarrassed. Only Chen Kai looked indifferent on his face, but in his heart he still secretly said that Cai Qiao has eyebrows and knows how to do things.

"I'm not afraid of two jokes, people say that Hangzhou's famous dishes are thirty-six, but they have never been able to see them when they have been here for a long time, and this time they are fortunate to have one or two, but they have borrowed the light of the two brothers."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Qi Fan laughed."

The guests and hosts sat down, the wine arrived, and after a round of wine, they began to move their chopsticks. Speaking of which, the famous dish of Zheng'er Bajing is actually a dish of Dongpo meat, plus a dish of West Lake vinegar fish, which is really where Li Yu lives, and there are no well-known restaurants around, so it is barely so. However, literati gatherings, food tasting, drinking, not to mention talking about the origin of dishes and wines, can also be used as an accompaniment to meals.

"Dongpo meat, as the name suggests, was created by Mr. Dongpo in the Song Dynasty when he was an official in Hangzhou in the past, and now it has a history of five or six hundred years......

There is a way to hate life in articles, and Su Shi's life trajectory is such an example. At that time, the three Sus were famous far and wide, and they were expected to make a difference in the DPRK. As for the Wutai poetry case, Su Shi was degraded, and since then, Su Shi's sense of presence in the political arena has declined, but the poetry of the article has almost been perfected.

From him, five years ago, in the massacre of Jinhua, Li Yu also wrote, "Crazy slaves, come to plough the grave and go to the field." After the house was left behind, he was on the edge of the battlefield. How many places are extinguished, who has all the flesh and bones? borrow someone to comfort yourself, and spend a peaceful year". From this point of view, if it weren't for the "Wucheng captured the southwest corner, and the heads of people fell like rain in three days", Li Xianlu, who only sought fame in the scientific field, would not have become the Li Yu he is today.

"I've heard of this Dongpo meat, but I haven't tried it."

"That's to taste more."

Speaking of which, many things that were extremely rare at this time were mostly no longer so difficult to reach in the era of the information explosion of later generations. For example, this Dongpo meat, the method is actually readily available on the Internet, especially because this dish still has a historical origin, and there are too many records and explorations of the source, but there are very few people who can reach it at this time.

During this time, Li Yu was unable to make ends meet due to his family's financial constraints, let alone going to restaurants and tasting famous dishes. At this moment, Chen Kai enthusiastically explained, the meat was fragrant, Li Yu praised Chen Kai's knowledge, but he was not polite, and sandwiched a piece of the entrance, the square Dongpo meat was mellow and juicy, crispy but not greasy, it was really a rare delicacy.

"Compared with this Dongpo meat, the vinegar fish of West Lake is created by the famous chef Song Wusao, and it is not a long year compared to Dongpo meat...... In fact, many Hangzhou locals will make this dish, and the method is that it is best to starve in the water for a day or two to remove the earthy smell. However, there are different tricks to the proportion of ingredients and techniques, and not everyone can do it well. ”

After talking about the Dongpo meat, Chen Kai shamelessly talked about the practice of vinegar fish in West Lake in front of these two Zhejiang people who had been in Hangzhou for much longer than him, and it was completely a gluttonous posture, as if Chen Kai had not done anything in the past few days, and patronized and eaten.

In fact, Chen Kai really can't take care of eating. Cai Qiao saw these in his eyes, and at this moment, when he saw Chen Kai talking eloquently to these two Zhejiang people, he only thought about it when he went south, so he didn't think deeply.

Chen Kai said it carefully, Li Yu and others had already admired it. From this and that, God knows how much of this kind of knowledge Chen Kai still has in his head, he must be a character who has eaten and seen.

In fact, Chen Kai is just a blessing of the times, but he knows very little about the details of this era. It is said that the name of this dish is West Lake vinegar fish, but it is not actually from West Lake, it is just a method. The reason is that the West Lake has been based on the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison, used to raise horses - more than 4,000 people of the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou Garrison, there are tens of thousands of horses brought here alone, all of these horses are raised on the bank of the West Lake, the original West Lake is in full bloom, the star fruit is heavily cut down by the Eight Banners of the garrison, there are many horse feces on the ground and in the lake, day and night, it has been three years, even the lake water is no longer clear, it is drowned by the horse manure that even if every horse is not less than 10 million beaches a day, it is soaked in the taste of the stinky river ditch.

The Eight Banners Army is unreasonable, and it is taboo to talk about it in a shallow manner, during which no one has said much, just eating "Qiantang River Vinegar Fish" or "Hangzhou Bay Vinegar Fish" in the name of West Lake Vinegar Fish, or other imposters.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the meal was eaten, Chen Kai and the owner of the ship said goodbye and left, and it was estimated that the rest was enough for Li Yu's family to improve their food for a few days. Leaving Li Yu's house, Chen Kai sent a heart to the owner of the boat, and agreed on the boat, but the specific time is still not confirmed - Chen Kai has made a new friend, maybe it will continue to drag back in time.

When I returned to the inn, Kuang Lu's progress was good, and there were already a few familiar readers, and they sang and made peace. In fact, if Kuang Lu could use his real name to intersect, it would have spread in the small circle of literati in Hangzhou. However, they are secretly operating, and Kuang Lu's identity is special, and a pseudonym is inevitable.

Chen Kai is still planning the next step, the news from the Dao Sect is still not good, the person they first came to Hangzhou City to fish is under the care of the Qing court, although it is not a prison, but where to be grounded is not something that can be explored overnight.
