King Jin smiled and said: "The shopkeeper of Tang Da is indeed refreshing, then I will wait for the next year to go over and bother." ”

Li Yi pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why does Your Highness have to wait until the New Year?" ”

King Jin glanced at Li Yi leisurely and said: "My father has to rest in Fangchun Garden for a month every year during the New Year, leaving only the three emperor brothers to sit in the capital, you don't know this, of course, those of us who are children have to be on the side, how can we have time to go back to the capital for a banquet?" ”

"No, I slipped out as soon as I sent the princesses to Qiyun Temple, and I have to escort them back to Fangchun Garden after lunch, I have an important duty to do! Hehe! Let's go! Hurry up to the restaurant on the edge of Qiyun Lake to eat, maybe they will come out in a while! ”

Everyone nodded, and galloped down the mountain with the horse team of the King of Jin, and came to the intersection of the mountain and turned westward, and soon came to the edge of a small lake, which was what they called Qiyun Lake.

It is said that it is a lake, but in fact it is just a large waterhole, the length and width are only 100 meters, but the water of the pond is turquoise and dark, and it is obvious that it is bottomless.

Not far from the edge of Qiyun Lake, there are several bamboo huts and thatched huts built on the gentle slope of the back mountain, and the flagpole next to it has five big characters written on it, and there are only two horses tied to the door, so it seems that the business here is not very prosperous.

King Jin pointed to Qiyun Lake Restaurant and smiled at Li Yi: "Runzhi must not have been here, don't underestimate this inconspicuous restaurant, although it has only been open for more than a year, but the mountain delicacies it has made are extraordinary. ”

Li Yi nodded and smiled: "The delicious food in the mountains and fields is my favorite, such places have their own characteristics, which can attract people, and naturally have their unique means." ”

King Jin said with a smile: "Then you are here today, I have already sent someone to order a few tables of wine and food here, as long as we sit down, we can serve the food immediately, and the wine here is also on par with Zhenghe wine!" As he spoke, the team had already come to the door, and everyone had just turned over and dismounted, and someone in the hotel had already greeted them.

Seeing the person Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this person is about forty years old, and his appearance is very ordinary, but under his inconspicuous appearance, he has a shrewdness and decisiveness that ordinary people can hardly have.

Li Yi felt strange at first glance, how to look at it and feel that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

And the other party obviously didn't care about Li Yi, he just stepped forward to greet King Jin respectfully, maybe he was a little too sensitive!

After entering the restaurant, Li Yi found that there were only seven or eight tables in the two halls, each table could seat up to six people, and the interior decoration was quite simple, just like an ordinary farmhouse.

Li Yi and King Jin, Liu Sichao, and Gui Huazi sat in the only so-called elegant room in this hotel, and the rest of the people also occupied a few tables outside.

The shopkeeper personally made tea for everyone, and said to King Jin with a smile: "Your Highness, in addition to the dishes that I often ordered before, the shop has recently added a delicious dish, called Gan Roasted Deer Breast, which is an authentic local practice in Yunnan, do you want to get a plate to try?" ”

King Jin smiled: "Shopkeeper Tong, do you need to talk about it?" What are the special delicacies, even if they are served, they are afraid that I will not be able to pay on credit? Hehe! It's a coincidence today, you are a native of Yunnan, and this Master Li has also been in Yunnan for a few years, I don't know if you know each other? ”

The shopkeeper took a closer look at Li Yi, and said with a smile on his face: "Although Lord Li looks good, the little one has never seen it, well!" It must have been because I came out early and didn't meet Master Li. ”

"Huh! However, Lord Li is a high-ranking official at first glance, even if I am still in Yunnan, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to meet my lord. ”

When Li Yi heard him talk about Yunnan, his heart was already moved, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered. The person in front of him has not only seen him in Yunnan, but he has been with him day and night for a while, but after a long time, he has gradually forgotten it.

This person is none other than Tong Huogui, who once helped Tang Jingtian manage the Tangdan Copper Mine, but I don't know when he came to the capital and started a hotel business. And what makes Li Yi quite strange is that Tang Jingtian and him used to have a good relationship, but now they don't know each other, and there must be a lot of hidden feelings inside.

Li Yi smiled and nodded: "Although I have some face-to-face with the shopkeeper Tong, since I am a native of Yunnan, it has a lot to do with me." Hehe! Later, the shopkeeper Tong will come over and sit down, and we will have a few drinks between us. ”

Tong Huogui smiled: "That's a certainty!" That's for sure! We can always be regarded as half a fellow countryman, and this nostalgia is extremely rare to travel to the ends of the earth! Sit down, the dishes are ready in advance, and the kung fu dishes of warm wine can be served. It's not busy outside, and the little one is retired first! ”

Everyone smiled and nodded in unison, and Tong Huogui bowed and retreated.

After a while, all the wine and food were served, but Tong Huogui didn't follow, it seemed that he was busy outside for a while.

Lian Jun was the youngest and poured good wine for everyone. King Jin picked it up and said with a smile: "It is said that people who are destined come thousands of miles to meet, and they just drank wine together the day before yesterday, and they came together again today." Hehe! Runzhi, come! I toast you! ”

Li Yi picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Your Highness can't be idle during the New Year's Festival, and it is too hard to personally escort the princesses." We are all idlers, and we are not tired of touring the mountains and rivers, so I should say that I should say hard work to His Royal Highness! ”

King Jin laughed and said, "Haha! Runzhi can still talk! In the past few years in Yunnan, you have experienced much more sleek and sophisticated than before, and for us big guys, I don't know whether it is joy or sorrow! ”

"Alas! Speaking of hard work, those of us who are princes, looking at the scenery on the surface, are actually far less relaxed and comfortable than you, sometimes I think, if you are not the prince, find an idle position in the court, I am afraid it will be much happier than now. Alas! Without further ado, let's have a drink! ”

The big guys dried up the glass of wine together, and King Jin pointed to a large plate of deer breast meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and said, "Come, taste it, what is the taste of Yunnan-flavored deer breast?" Hehe! It's quite tempting to look at! ”
