Fang Guolian didn't know how many days he walked along the way, and on this day, he had arrived in Suzhou. The buildings in Suzhou are stacked, the water alleys are vertical and horizontal, the boats come and go, the stone bridges are listed, and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are different from other places. On the water surface of the street, women are in piles of three or five, seven or eight groups, washing rice and laundry, laughing and chasing, there are many shops on the shore, pedestrians are crowded, and it is very lively. Son, prince and grandson, Linzhou rocking fan; The smiling girl of the green building, leaning on the window and looking out, singing and dancing is spread far away, which is the land of powder; The sound of the waves is crazy, it is the land of drunkenness. The so-called heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, is so.

Fang Guohuan first visited himself, and then found a tea shop, bought some street food for his own use, and felt that it was unique. In fact, the reason why Suzhou is famous all over the world, the most important thing is the word "eat".

Fang Guochuan came out of the tea shop, remembering that he had an appointment with the gourmand Zhao Mingfeng in the past, and when he came to Suzhou to look for him, he could go directly to the largest money village in Suzhou - Jinyuan Qian Village, and someone would answer him. Because he didn't know where he was, Fang Guohuan stopped a sixty-year-old man, and first gave himself a salute and said: "The old man is invited, inquire, how does Jinyuan Qianzhuang go?" ”

The old man looked at Fang Guohuan and saw that his accent was not like that of a local, so he responded: "Oh! The little boy asked Jin Yuan Qianzhuang, easy to find, cross this stone bridge, turn two streets, and then turn right, to the street entrance. However, walking on the shore, the little boy is born on the road, I am afraid it will be difficult to find it for a while, it is better to give up a few small money, and it is more convenient to take a boat from the water to the river, and the boat family is familiar with the road. Fang Guohuan was overjoyed when he heard this, thanked the old man, and then went down the stone steps and summoned a pleasure boat.

After getting on the boat, the boatman asked, "Where is Childe?" Fang Guochuan said: "Do you know Jinyuan Qianzhuang?" The boatman said with a smile: "The Jinyuan Village opened by Master Zhao is the largest one in Suzhou City, no one knows!" Then he drove the boat and said, "Childe is steady, and he will be here in a while." ”

Fang Guochuan was surprised in his heart: "Zhao's fruit is a prominent family in Suzhou, and he is very famous. "When I thought of meeting Zhao Mingfeng, I was happy. The boat crosses the bridge and crosses the alley, and it travels fast, and Fang Guolian stands on the bow of the boat, watching the street scenery, and it is also comfortable.

After a short time, the boat stopped at a place on the shore, which was full of streets near the water, and the shops were lined up, forming a bustling area. There is a large shop with four gold characters inlaid on the signboard - Jinyuan Qianzhuang, the light is reflected, and it is extremely dazzling. Fang Guochuan knew that this was the place, paid for the boat, and jumped ashore.

At this time, a bench was placed on the side of the door of the Golden Yuan Village, on which three or four men sat and greeted the guests who came in and out from time to time. Fang Guochuan walked closer, looked in, and saw that there were five or six guys at the counter inside, not very busy, and a slightly chubby middle-aged man was sitting behind the counter drinking tea.

The guy at the door saw Fang Guolian standing in front of the door and looking, it didn't look like a deposit of gold for silver, and a guy got up and stopped: "Hey! Feed! This is the money bank, not the place where you came, please go. Fang Guohuan hurriedly said: "Please ask the shopkeeper to ask for a meeting below." In the past, when Fang Guolian and Zhao Mingfeng broke up, Zhao Mingfeng gave a piece of jade pendant as a token for Fang Guohuan to come to Suzhou in the future, and Jinyuan Qianzhuang used it to receive him.

When the guys saw this young man who seemed to be from a foreign country, he opened his mouth to see the shopkeeper, and they couldn't help but be stunned. An old man looked at Fang Guolian, and when he saw that the person who came had a good temperament, he hurriedly said: "This son will wait for me to go inside." With that, the man turned and went inside, walked over to the man behind the counter who was drinking tea, leaned over and whispered a few words, and then pointed out the door with his hand. The man put down the teacup, looked at Fang Guolian outside the door, and nodded to the man. The guy then came out, and the other party said, "Mr. Wang, who is in charge of the counter, is called Gongzi, please come in." ”

Fang Guohuan entered the money village, came to the counter, and bowed to the man: "In the lower Guolian, the opposite is the shopkeeper Wang?" The man nodded slightly, which was regarded as a return salute, and then said unhurriedly: "Contemptible Wang Youke, it's not the shopkeeper, my shopkeeper is inside, very busy, what do you have to do, tell me." ”

When Fang Guochuan heard this, he shook his head and smiled, then took out the jade pendant from his arms, handed it forward and said, "Please ask Mr. Wang to present this jade pendant to the shopkeeper of Guiqian Village, maybe the shopkeeper can understand something." Wang You was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up, and had to look at Fang Guohuan again, and took the jade pendant suspiciously, seeing that the jade was precious and extraordinary, he was surprised in his heart, knowing that the other party had some origins, and hurriedly said: "Son, later." "Take the jade pendant and go inside.

There was not much time, and a person hurriedly walked out of it, holding the jade pendant in his hand, and Wang Youke followed behind with a blank expression. The man walked up to Fang Guolian, looked up and down, nodded and said, "Your Excellency is the son of Fang Guolian?" Fang Guohuan was stunned when he heard this, and then realized: "Yes, it is below." The man was overjoyed when he heard this: "If it is really Fang Gongzi who has arrived, the young master of my family has not badly explained." In Xiazhangjiang, I have been waiting for my son for some days. ”

Fang Guochuan said: "It turned out to be a shopkeeper. The two sides exchanged greetings. Zhang Jiang then said to Wang Youke: "Quickly send someone to the villa to inform the Shaodong family, and say that Fang Guolian's son has received it." Wang Youke was busy responding, and Zhang Jiang then invited Fang Guolian into the inner hall. The guys looked at each other, only to realize that this young man was not small, and he knew the young man, but fortunately he had no words to offend him just now.

sat down in the inner hall, a guy offered tea, and Zhang Jiang invited Fang Guolian to use it. Fang Guolian took a sip, and then said, "May I ask Shopkeeper Zhang, how is the Ming Feng Gongzi?" ”

Zhang Jiang hurriedly replied: "Gongzi Xie Fang, the young owner is very good, and he came to Qianzhuang with the young grandmother a few days ago, and asked if Gongzi Fang has arrived." It's a pity that Fang Gongzi came half a month late, and he didn't catch up with the big day of the young owner. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he suddenly woke up and said: "Yes, yes, in the past, at the invitation of Mingfeng Gongzi, he came to Suzhou to attend his wedding ceremony with Miss Han, but today it is too late, I didn't expect to say goodbye to Mingfeng Gongzi, it has been more than half a year." ”

Zhang Jiang said with a smile: "The young owner explained early a few months ago, seeing that Yu picked up people, in the end, he took Fang Gongzi. Fang Guochuan nodded, and then said, "Miss Han is okay?" ”

As soon as Han Xing'er was mentioned, Zhang Jiang frowned and said: "If you want to talk about my young grandmother, it is really a heavenly chef!" In this Suzhou City, the chefs of various cuisines, since the last time they had the honor to taste a big dish of the north and south flavors cooked by the young grandmother in Tianwailou, they were all impressed, and pushed my young grandmother to be the first in the world, and also jointly sent a plaque. You must know that most of the famous chefs in the world are concentrated in Suzhou, and it is not easy to be promoted by these masters as the first. ”
