"General, just ahead." Long Shouyi followed Zhao Fu to lead the way.

Zhao Fu and his entourage also followed Long Shouyi and entered Mustard City for the first time.

This is indeed a big city in Zhongzhou City, and because it is backed by mustard water, it has developed river transportation and is one of the richest cities in Zhongzhou.

Although Zheng Yuan had also led troops to attack Mustard City before, it was far less than going directly to the city to deepen his understanding.

The city can be said to be born by water, the outside of the city is surrounded by mustard water, like a fairy's streamer, and the city is also covered with a dense water network, many important intersections actually use boats instead of carriages to transport materials.

It's a city with a lot of charm unlike any other.

Even Zhao Fu had to sigh that it was impossible for this world to have the same people, the same stories, the same leaves, and the same cities.

Mustard City is full of bridges, and it is the kind of curved, high-arched arch bridge that facilitates the passage of ships on the waterway.

Subsequently, Zhao Fu and the others were brought into the city lord's mansion in Mustard City, which was also cleverly designed, and it turned out to be in a stacked "island" at the intersection of several water networks in Mustard City.

The island is not large, but it is well designed, and of course, there are countless small bridges that connect it to the rest of the city.

"This is Qin Chunyang, the current top guard of Mustard City." There were already people waiting on the bridge, and Long Shouyi hurriedly introduced Zhao Fu.

"This is ......"

"This is ......"

"This is..."

"Lin Ji." Zhao Fu didn't wait for Long Shouyi to finish speaking, and directly called out Lin Ji's name.

"Boss...... Checkmate. "Lin Ji looked very unnatural.

"You know?" Not only Long Shouyi, but also Qin Chunyang was also very curious on the side.

"Lin Ji is from the Northwest." Zhao Fu did not answer their questions directly, but continued to ask Lin Ji if he was doing well in the imperial capital.

Lin Ji could only push it, but he even said that it was okay, okay.

"Don't be so restrained, I don't blame you." Zhao Fu patted Lin Ji on the shoulder and said.

"Boss......" Lin Ji couldn't help but be a little moved when he heard it.

"Okay, okay, don't stand here stupidly, the head of the family let us set up a banquet tonight to entertain General Zhao, hurry up and invite inside, the best girls in Changchun Mansion are here tonight." At this time, Qin Chunyang, the actual leader of Mustard City, clapped his hands.

"Head of the house? This was arranged by Zhao Qian? Zhao Fu asked.

"Exactly, the head of the family wants me to wait for the general to accompany him." Qin Chunyang also said with a smile on his face.

"That's ...... Zhao Qian, he has a heart. Zhao Fu probably guessed that Zhao Qian must have known that he was in a hurry to rush back to Mustard City to meet Zheng Yuan, so he would definitely not stay in Zhongzhou City for a long time, so he directly set up the banquet in Mustard City, which was also reasonable.

"The head of the family is very grateful to the general for his great help, we were deceived by Zhao Yang's rebel son before, and it was also rude to the general's sword, and the head of the family also wanted to give us a chance to atone for our sins." Qin Chunyang said.

"Well, it just so happens that Lin Ji and I haven't seen each other for a long time." Zhao Fu thought that the other party was so invited, it was always difficult to refuse.

"Thank you for your understanding! Please take a seat, General! Qin Chunyang hugged his fists.

Zhao Fu took Zheng Yuan and Lin Ji and sat on the best seats, and then the others took their seats one after another.

"Come on, serve good food!" Qin Chunyang greeted in person.

In a short time, plates of exquisite dishes are served in various bowls and plates, and unlike the rough big fish and meat cooking methods in the northwest, the ingredients here are extremely delicately handled, which can be described as exquisite works of art.

"General, this is a unique mustard black and white fish with mustard water, black bones and white meat, the taste is delicate and fragrant, soft and smooth, and the imperial capital will deliberately come here every year to buy goods." Qin Chunyang began to introduce these dishes to Zhao Fu.

"This is our characteristic black and white water tofu, which is made from ground black beans...... Because I don't know the taste of the general, what ingredients the general likes to add, I bother the general to add ...... by himself."

"This is our black and white yin-yang chicken in Mustard City...... Well, in fact, it is a black chicken and an ordinary chicken double, but it is the specialty dish of the chef of the guest house, and it tastes good, so be sure to taste it. ”

"This is ......"

"I know! This must be a black and white soup, right? Zhao Fu replied.

"The general is smart, this is indeed the black and white two-color soup that is characteristic of Mustard City, and the main ingredients in it are kelp and radish ......," Qin Chunyang said.

"Okay, okay, I know, do you have to make black and white for everything?" Zhao Fu couldn't laugh or cry, he teased.

"The general deserves to be a general!" Qin Chunyang snapped his fingers and continued: "Come on, serve tea!" Serve! ”

There are two pots of tea, one pot is slightly white and rich, and the other pot is black but much clearer, and the same is true for wine.

"This ...... What's so important about this? Zhao Fu was really speechless.

"When it is the combination of yin and yang, life and life, two instruments and four elephants, gossip and ......" Qin Chunyang said a lot of words that many people couldn't understand (including himself), and then quietly leaned into Zhao Fu's ear: "Actually, it's just to look good." ”

Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, he tasted black and white tea successively, and the white tea did taste as rich as it looked, and even slightly salty, which reminded Zhao Fu of cheese cream soup. The black tea is much better, clear and sweet.

The wine has its own aftertaste, but the degree is relatively high, Zhao Fu felt that it burned his throat, so he hurriedly poured another cup of black tea and drank it.

Seeing Zhao Fu's tea and wine in his stomach, Qin Chunyang hurriedly clapped his hands: "Someone, girl!" ”

"Girl, you don't have to!" Zhao Fu hurriedly stopped.

"General, there is wine and food, and the performance of a beauty is indispensable!" Qin Chunyang persuaded.

"No need, no need, I'll just talk to Lin Ji." Zhao Fu insisted on refusing.

He didn't care, what he was worried about was the soldiers below him, the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army were also men with strong blood, Zhao Fu was afraid that they had continued to maintain high-intensity combat for so long, and once they relaxed, they didn't know what would happen. He didn't want to leave Mustard City when the time came, and there was a large group of women at the gate of the city who saw off the warblers and Yanyan with tears, and then the whole team turned back step by step, and finally made trouble in Mustard City and didn't want to leave, so it would be troublesome.

Thinking like this, Zhao Fu also felt that after returning to Lanting this time, he would immediately give the soldiers who had traveled thousands of miles a long vacation, and send a large sum of money so that they could go out and relax.

"Okay, then there's no need, if the general is not satisfied with anything, be sure to tell Qin!" Qin Chunyang finally gave up, he didn't want to make Zhao Fu angry here.

In ancient times, tea was not all brewed from tea leaves, and many teas were made with medicinal herbs.
