43. Tavern chance encounter
Yuan Shao made up his mind to seize Jizhou. At this time, Jizhou can be described as a dark tide, but the plains and Nanpi under Liu Bei's rule are very calm.
A young man led a donkey and entered the city of Nanpi early in the morning. "Sure enough, there is no entry tax! No wonder Nanpi City is not so prosperous! The young man muttered to himself, and led the donkey to the city.
After turning around aimlessly all morning, the young man was a little tired and looked up and saw a Zhao family restaurant on the side of the street, so he led the donkey and walked over. Tethering the donkey outside the store, the young man walked into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper warmed up enthusiastically. "Guest officer, are you eating?"
"Yes, do you have a cleaner place here?"
"How many of you are you, guest officer?" Xiao Er asked.
"I'm alone!"
"Then you go upstairs with me, there are few people on the second floor at noon, I will arrange a table by the window for you to ensure that no one disturbs."
"Good! Lead the way! Hearing this, Xiao Er hurriedly turned around and led the young man to the second floor. Sure enough, there was a table by the window on the east side, some distance from the other tables, and it was quiet and you could see the street through the window.
Xiao Er enthusiastically led the young man here, then tore off the white towel on his shoulder and began to wipe the table. While saying enthusiastically, "Please sit down objectively, what do you want to eat?" ”
"What are your specialties here?" The young man asked.
"What a good dish! Our store's five-spice boneless chicken is the most famous dish in our store, the meat is rotten and the bones are crispy, the five-spice boneless, the color is delicious, and the fat but not greasy is a major feature of the store, even Mr. Liu said it was delicious! ”
"Lord Liu? Who is this Lord Liu? The young man wondered.
"Hehe, when I saw the guest officer, you were from out of town, isn't this Lord Liu Liu Lord Liu Bei?" Xiao Er replied with a smile.
"Liu Bei? Isn't that the Pingyuan Prefectural Order? Why did he come to Nanpi City for dinner? "The youth is even stranger.
"Hey, how can I tell you?" Xiao Er looked at no one around him and whispered, "This Nanpi City is now also under the rule of Lord Liu, and Lord City Guard has taken refuge under Lord Liu's door!" ”
The young man nodded, and then said, "Here's a spiced boneless chicken, and a vegetarian dish and a pot of good wine!" ”
"Okay! Guest, wait a minute! Xiao Er answered, turned around and went to the back kitchen. The young man picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a bowl of tea, touched his chin with his right hand and said to himself, "Liu Bei? One of the Eighteen Princes? It seems that there is a master behind it! This Nanpi City is so prosperous must have something to do with this person! ”
Han Fei came out of the Taishou Mansion in the morning, and instead of going home, he took Mi Fang and the others to wander around the city. Seeing that it was noon, I also came to this Zhao family restaurant.
"Second Brother Mi will eat here at noon! His spiced boneless chicken tastes good. Han Fei said with a smile.
"Listen to Zicong's orders!" Mi Fang responded. To say that Mi Fang was very dissatisfied when he was placed by Liu Bei next to Han Fei, he thought about leading his troops to kill the enemy and win chess in front of the two armies! Unexpectedly, after he came, he became the captain of the personal guard for Han Fei, a half-grown boy. However, as the contact lasted for a long time, Mi Fang put away her contempt. He now clearly knows Han Fei's status in Liu Beijun, and it can be said that Liu Bei's ability to have today is definitely brought by Han Fei. So he was extra careful in doing things, for fear that Han Fei would be hurt a little.
But then again, there's really nothing to worry about in this Nanpi City. He is the only one in the light and there is a personal guard, and there are people in the shadows in the secret. There is also a large army stationed in the city, and there are generals such as Zhang Feidianwei and others, who dares to be presumptuous here!
At this time, Han Fei had already walked towards the Zhao family restaurant, and Mi Fang was just busy following him. The shopkeeper greeted him and called him an adult when he met. Han Fei was curious: "You know me?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know adults!" ”
"Then how do you know that I am an official? Do you still call me an adult? Han Fei said even more curiously.
"My lord, you are forgetful, and you sat on the side last time Lord Liu came. The little ones have served you food! So remember! The shopkeeper replied.
"I see. The two of us found us a window seat on the second floor! Han Fei nodded and said with a smile.
Xiao Er answered and turned around and led them up to the second floor, and then arranged them on the table next to the young man just now. Han Fei and Mi Fang sat down and ordered the food and drinks. The shopkeeper turned around and went downstairs. Only then did Han Fei have time to look around and find that there was only one person at the next table drinking and eating. Coincidentally, he also ordered spiced boneless chicken.
Han Fei looked at it curiously and found that this young man was not simple. Although his face was pale, his body was thin, and his clothes were not luxurious, he could not hide the aura of books all over his body. "This man may be young, but he must be a learned man." Thinking of this, Han Fei suddenly became interested.
He stood up and walked to the opposite side of the young man and hugged his fists and said, "Your Excellency is inevitably boring to eat alone, can I accompany you?" Mi Fang had been following him ever since he got up.
The young man raised his head and looked at Han Fei and smiled, "Please take a seat!" Han Fei was also polite and sat directly opposite the young man, while Mi Fang sat on the side.
Han Fei sat down and said, "Seeing each other is fate. In Xia Hanfei, haven't asked your name yet? ”
"A good meeting is fate! Under the surname Guo, the name Jia! The young man said with a smile. Han Fei's heart suddenly burst, "I didn't expect it to be him, shouldn't he be under Cao Cao?" ”
While the two were talking, Han Fei and the dishes they ordered were brought up, and Han Fei motioned for Xiao Er to put the dishes on the table, and then beckoned Guo Jia to enjoy them together. Guo Jia was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick, put the dish in his mouth and ate it.
Han Fei picked up the flask and poured a full bottle of wine for Guo Jia, and then poured it for himself. He put down the wine jug and said, "Brother Guo, where is this from?" ”
"Me? Traveling around! Guo Jiamin took a sip of wine.
"Oh! What does Brother Guo think of this Nanpi City? Han Fei asked again.
"Nanpi City is indeed much more prosperous than other cities in Jizhou, and even Yecheng can't compare to here." Guo Jia said honestly. After speaking, he raised his head and said to Han Fei with a smile: "I heard that this Nanpi City is under the rule of Lord Liu Bei, I don't know if it's true?" I hope Brother Han will give me advice! ”
"This matter is good, this is indeed under the rule of Lord Liu Bei! Brother Guo also knows Lord Liu? Han Fei nodded in acknowledgement. Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly asked: "The princes of the Eighteenth Road are discussing Dong, and Lord Liu is involved in it, not to mention, this warm wine slashing Huaxiong and the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu are widely praised in the world!" Of course, I've heard of it too! But Brother Han, you are working under Lord Liu Bei, right? ”
"How so?" Han Fei didn't know where he had revealed his flaws, so he asked.
"Hehe, I said I guessed, do you believe it?" Guo Jia suddenly laughed.
"Ugh! Since Brother Guo refuses to say, then I won't ask! Come and drink, I'll toast you again! After speaking, he had another drink with Guo Jia, and then Han Fei chatted with Guo Jia all over the world.
