Chapter 120: Fresh Building
As soon as Zheng Sheng's words fell, he only heard a hearty laugh behind him, and Zheng Sheng didn't have to guess to know that it was Xun Xuan.
A trace of surprise flashed on Jia Qu and Li Hong's faces, they didn't expect Zheng Sheng's answer to be so straightforward...... Well, it should be said that it is indecent.
When Yu Huan heard this, he subconsciously covered his ears, as for whether he could still hear Zheng Sheng and Master Yu's questions and answers, only he knew.
Master Yu's face showed a hint of annoyance.
"My Fair Lady, good gentleman. How many people now take this phrase as a mantra. Oh, and mantra is a Buddhist term that refers to what is often said. Zheng Sheng added casually.
Didn't those who said this have the idea of pursuing women? In that case, why can't I just say it? Zheng Sheng shrugged.
Master Yu nodded slowly, "Are you still interested in Buddhism?" β
"Not interested. I just know some of their terms. Zheng Sheng replied truthfully.
"Guan Ju is indeed a love poem." Master Yu said slowly.
When he said this, Xun Xuan fell to the ground in shock.
But this poem is about a gentleman's love poem about a lady, do you know what a gentleman is? What is My Fair Lady? β
Zheng Sheng felt like he had been wound up, becoming more and more anxious and nervous, and finally Zheng Sheng could only answer Master Yu's questions and accept his preaching with his own feelings.
Zheng Sheng returned to his seat a little dazed.
Thinking about the expression of Master Yu at the end, it seems that he is still quite satisfied?
Zheng Sheng silently looked at the homework for tomorrow that had been laid down: poems four to six. It turned out to be three poems at a time!
After Zheng Sheng sat back, Qiu Fuzi got up and said to everyone: "Tomorrow will be the time of daylight." Go back! β
said goodbye to Master Yu, and the four of them went out together.
By this time, the snow had stopped.
Xun Sui leaned over with a smile: "Ke Wu is a refreshing person!" Walk! Let's go to Xianlou for dinner! Do Li Shiyan and Jia Zongran want to go together? It's the first time I met Ke Wu and washed the dust for him! β
Li Hong thought about it and agreed: "Okay." β
Seeing this, Jia Qu also said, "Then let's go together!" β
Zheng Sheng followed the three newly acquainted classmates out of Guozixue and walked on Tongluo Street, which had regained some popularity.
Xun Xuan introduced Zheng Sheng: "When it comes to the food in Luoyang, it can be summed up in one sentence: the old third floor and the new three places. β
Zheng Sheng asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?" β
"The old third floor refers to the fairy building, the food building and the fresh building. The new three places refer to the Dubu House, the Baishilou and the Zhenyu Pavilion. Today we are going to the fresh building in the old third floor. β
"Xianlou?" Zheng Sheng meditated on its meaning, and the meaning of Xian naturally means delicious. And the meaning of Xianlou naturally refers to the fact that his family's food is extremely delicious.
It's kind of interesting. Zheng Sheng naturally knew that his own drunken Xiangju and Dubu Ju who used his family's clear oil relied on the clear oil exchanged, and the food made in this way was naturally more delicious than the ordinary Jin Dynasty food.
But to make food delicious, it's not about oil. It's a test of a chef's culinary skills.
The fresh building is known as the "fresh" building, which naturally has high confidence and pride in the cooking skills of its own chefs.
Xianlou was not far from Guozixue, and closer to the Wei Mansion that Zheng Sheng had questioned, and they went all the way north and soon arrived at Xianlou. Zheng Sheng had walked through this place more than once, but he only swept it by, not knowing that it was a well-known restaurant.
The fresh building is a three-storey attic with a large area, and when you get to the front, the door plaque and banner that say the fresh building are particularly conspicuous.
Xun Sui was obviously a regular visitor here, and they were guided by the little maid to the private room on the second floor.
Xun Sui said to the little girl: "It's cold today, give us some mutton!" β
"Okay, then I'll give Xun Gongzi and the young masters a 'sheep fish feast'?"
"'Sheep Fish Feast'? All right! Xun Xuan thought for a moment and made a decision.
Zheng Sheng saw a look of embarrassment flashing on Xun Xuan's face, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Xun, does this 'Sheep Fish Banquet' have a special meaning?" β
Jia Qu explained for Xun Xuan: "'Sheep Fish Banquet' is a signboard of Xianlou. The sheep are carefully prepared from lambs that grow in October. The fish is a white sea bass soup and is extremely delicious. Don't underestimate that this 'lamb fish feast' only has two dishes, this is cooked by the chef of Xianlou himself. β
Zheng Sheng nodded, but isn't it just mutton and fish soup?
"This 'sheep fish feast' is quite expensive." Li Hong added.
Zheng Sheng was stunned, and said to Xun Sui with a smile: "Brother Xun has broken the bill." Then I'll invite you all next time! β
Xun Xuan laughed and said, "Okay! β
After a while, the little servant pushed the door and entered, followed by four people carrying a small burning stove, and there was an iron pot on the stove, which was steaming with fragrance. Zheng Sheng looked over and found that it was white and tender fish soup inside.
Xun Sui waved them away, and took a bowl of soup by himself.
"The older ones eat first." Xun Sui handed the bowl to Jia Qu.
Jia Qu said helplessly: "I'm only a few months older than you. β
"Next is the youngest." He handed the bowl to Zheng Sheng.
Zheng Sheng thanked him and looked at Li Hong: "Is he older than me?" β
"Li Shiyan was born in Xianning for three years and has already married a wife." Xun Sui stared at Zheng Sheng for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard that you only married someone this year." That must be smaller than him. β
Li Hong looked at Zheng Sheng: "Your fiancΓ©e is Lu Yun, right?" β
Zheng Sheng nodded.
"Hahaha, Lu Yun was also an outstanding female talent in Lu Shangshulang's mansion two years ago! Shiyan, have you ever had a heart for her? Xun Xuan said with a grin.
Li Hongzheng said: "Now that I am married, I only had secret admiration for Miss Lu Yun in the past. Zheng Shizi, don't listen to his nonsense! β
Xun Sui stuffed the bowl into Li Hong's hand, "I'm talking nonsense?" You can't deny that you've ...... Haha, you can drink soup too! β
Li Hong got up in shame, "If you mention this matter again, I'll leave!" β
Zheng Sheng and Jia Qu got up and persuaded him.
"Zheng Shizi, don't you mind?"
Zheng Sheng thought for a moment and said, "What's the point?" "Besides, what else can he do? Lu Yun has been to Luoyang and is a guest of Lu Yun and Lu Ji's mansion.
It is naturally normal for the teenagers in Luoyang City to admire her. But that girl is a very assertive woman and cuckolds him? No way! What's more, the marriage contract between them may expire at some point!
After "teasing" Li Hong, Xun Xuan also quieted down and drank a bowl of fish soup.
Zheng Sheng also drank the soup and felt that the soup was indeed light and delicious.
Only a moment later, the servant came in again, this time with lamb. They placed a plate of lamb cut into small slices in front of each of them.
Lamb is served. Although Zheng Sheng is used to eating all kinds of meat in Wanquan Town, the most eaten is pork. The reason why I don't like to eat mutton is that Zheng Sheng thinks it is fishy, although later there is a good cook Xiao Suzi who can deal with the fishy smell of mutton well, but Zheng Sheng is still not used to eating mutton.
However, the mutton in Xianlou is obviously cooked very well, and the mutton is tender and not fishy, fragrant but not greasy. It's really top-notch. Zheng Sheng felt that the enjoyment of this meal was very good.
The four of them had a great time. After leaving the fresh building, they went home, made an appointment to get out of class the next day, and continued to come to the fresh building for a "dinner".
Zheng Sheng looked back at the door plaque of Xianlou and thought to himself: It's really not easy to live in Luoyang! Come to this fresh building for a meal, but it will cost a lot of money!
