Gao Fei and Huan Wen came to the room in the post house together, asked the family who came with him to take the bag he had put here, and briefly exchanged a few words with Huan Wen before saying goodbye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Gao Fei left on his front foot, Huan Wen turned to Song Wu and said, "Can you ask clearly?" ”

Song Wudao: "Son, I asked on the way, but that family didn't know where Gao Fei came from, only that he was brought in by the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also sent a few maids and housekeepers, saying that they would serve Gao Fei well, and let them call him Gongzi in the future." ”

"That's all?" Huan Wenhu asked suspiciously.

Song Wudao: "That's all, that family knows so much." By the way, Childe, why did you ask the little one to inquire about Goofy? ”

"It's better not to ask if you shouldn't know!" Huan Wen said.

After hearing this, Song Wu immediately remained silent and stopped asking questions.

Next, Huan Wen asked Song Wu and the other two officials to pack their luggage, take the horses, and prepare to go to the Yufu to live temporarily.

After Gao Fei came out of the post house, he and Jia Ding were wandering around the street, walking, and Gao Fei suddenly asked Jia Ding, "What is your name?" ”

Jia Ding said: "Back to the son's words, little Wang Jiu!" ”

"We finally came out for a trip, and it was my first time to come to this Jiankang City, Wang Jiu, can you take me for a walk in the city casually?" Goofy asked.

Wang Jiu's face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Childe, it's not that the little one doesn't take you, but the big housekeeper has already ordered that the little one follow you to go back after taking your things, and you are not allowed to walk around the city at will......"

Gao Fei had a gloomy face and said slowly: "The words of the big butler are words, aren't my words words?" ”

Seeing this, Wang Jiu hurriedly explained: "Gongzi is angry, the small one doesn't mean this, the small one ......."

Without waiting for Wang Jiu to finish speaking, Gao Fei interrupted Wang Jiu and waved his hand directly: "Okay, okay, you don't need to explain, I can understand your situation." I just want to get acquainted with the environment in the city, that's all. Besides, the big housekeeper didn't set a time for us to go back, if the big housekeeper asked when I went back, he said that I was chatting with my friends in the post house for too long, and you were embarrassed to interrupt me. You can rest assured, I will bear all the consequences, and I will not blame you. ”

"This ......" Wang Jiu thought for a moment, and was embarrassed to disobey the new little master's intentions, so he agreed hard, "Childe, this is what you said, you will bear all the consequences......"

"Don't worry, this son is right!" Gao Fei patted his chest and said.

Wang Jiu was relieved and asked, "Childe, where do you want to go?" ”

Gao Fei said: "I first arrived in Jiankang, I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know where to go, you just take me to walk around and familiarize yourself with the environment here." ”

"Yes, Childe."

So, Wang Jiu took Gao Fei to wander around the streets of Jiankang City, and whenever he went to a place, Wang Jiu would introduce the names of the places to Gao Fei, and Gao Fei would memorize these place names and the landmarks in the city in his heart.

Jiankang City, in fact, is the future Nanjing, the modern Nanjing Gao Fei has been to twice, but the ancient Nanjing is the first time he wandered around.

The Jiangnan of the Qin and Han dynasties has not yet been developed, and the standard of living is backward, but changes have taken place at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Sun Quan built the capital in the south of the Yangtze River, known as Jianye, and since then, the economic development of the Jiangnan region has been extremely fast. The grain of one county can be eaten by the people of several counties, and Jiankang is extremely prosperous because it is located in the economic, cultural and political center, which is also an important reason why the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is here.

The capital of Soochow is more than 20 miles around, long from north to south, slightly shorter from east to west, and the location is about the north of Nanjing City. The palace city is in the northern part of the city, the west is the Taichu Palace built by Sun Quan, and the Zhaoming Palace and the Yuan City built by Sun Hao in the east.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty fixed the capital of Jianye, renamed Jiankang, on the basis of following the Eastern Wu capital city Jianye, and carried out large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the city. Move the palace city to the east, south to the royal street of the Eastern Wu period, and extend the royal street to the south, cross the Suzaku navigation pontoon bridge on the Qinhuai River, and reach the southern suburbs of the south to worship the sky, forming the north-south axis of the whole city that is facing the main gate and the main hall of the palace city. The government office was built on the left and right sides of the royal street, and the south end was adjacent to the Qinhuai River and the Taishe Temple, Taishe. After this reconstruction, the palace room in the north of Jiankang City was formed, and there were north and south main streets in front of the palace, the left and right official offices, and the outside of the house, and the city gate was also increased to twelve.

Jiankang's large southward migration, coupled with the local scholars, forced them to open up new settlements along the outer side of Qingxi in the eastern part of the city. Jiankang has the convenience of the Yangtze River and the water network navigation, the boat can reach the east and west of the city through the Qinhuai River, and some settlements appear along the river and the water network. In order to defend Jiankang, a number of small town fortifications were built around it; In order to settle the people who moved south, some overseas Chinese counties were built.

The palace wall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is threefold, and the outer periphery is eight miles. The south front is the big Sima Gate, directly facing the main gate of the capital, Xuanyang Gate, between the two gates is the royal road of two miles long. There are royal ditches on both sides of the royal road, and acacia and willows are planted next to the ditch. In front of the Great Sima Gate, the east-west side street, is facing the east and west main gates of the capital. The garden is mainly distributed in the northeastern suburbs of the capital, there is Hualin Garden in the north of the palace, which was originally the old palace garden of Soochow, and there is a pleasure garden in Zhoushan. Xuanwu Lake is in the north of the capital. A long causeway was built to prevent flooding, and the lake water was diverted into Hualin Garden, Tianyuan Pond and the ditches in the palace, and then bet on the southern moat.

Jiankang has no outer Guocheng, but there are stone cities and Xizhou cities in the southwest, the Yangtze River in the northern suburbs is built with white stone bases, there are Zhongshan in the northeast, there are Dongfu cities in the east, and the southeast two sides are along the Qingxi and Qinhuai rivers to erect fences, set up fences, and become the outer defense line. The main gate of the south of the capital is the Xuanyang Gate, and then five miles to the south is the Vermilion Bird Gate, and there is the pontoon bridge Zhuzaku Navigation across the Qinhuai River outside the door. Xuanyang Gate to Suzaku Gate between the five miles of the royal road on both sides of the arrangement of the official office temple, the residential lane is also mainly distributed on both sides of the royal road and the Qinhuai River, the south bank of the Qinhuai River Changganli is the famous residential lane, the north bank of the Wuyi Lane is the period of the famous giant family living place, the residence of the princes and nobles is mostly distributed in the east of the city Qingxi near the scenic area.

The river in the city leads to the Yangtze River with the Qinhuai River, and from the Qinhuai River it leads directly to the palace to transport tribute, and the water of Xuanwu Lake is diverted to the north to inject Qingxi and Yundu in the south, so as to ensure the water for Cao Yun and the moat.

Gao Fei and Wang Jiu have been hanging out in the city, Wang Jiu is like a very good tour guide, has been introducing everything in Jiankang City to Gao Fei, unconsciously, time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

And Gao Fei listened with relish, almost finished walking around the entire Jiankang City with Wang Jiu, not only did he not feel the slightest tiredness, but he was very excited.

When the sky was dark, Wang Jiu, the tour guide, had almost completed the task, when he came back to his senses and looked up at the sky, his face immediately showed a look of panic, and he said: "Oh no, it's been so long, I will definitely be punished by the big housekeeper when I go back!" ”

Gao Fei hurriedly reassured: "Don't be impatient, didn't I tell you before?" All the consequences will be borne by me, if the chief steward is punished, I will stand up for you, what are you afraid of? ”

After listening to Gao Fei's words, Wang Jiu felt a little comforted in his heart, but said to Gao Fei: "Childe, it's not too early, I took you to almost wander around the entire Jiankang City, except for the vicinity of the palace, the main places in the city have taken you through, and it's almost time to go home, right?" ”

Gao Fei didn't want to embarrass this housekeeper, but at this time, he had been shopping for almost two hours, and suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, so he said to Wang Jiu: "It's okay to go back, but you have to fill your stomach first before you go back!" ”

Wang Jiu let out an "ah", with a surprised expression on his face, and hurriedly said to Gao Fei: "Childe, let's go back, the little one didn't bring any money with him this time......"

Gao Fei smiled at Wang Jiu, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I brought the money." Today, you have worked hard to take me around such a circle, and this son will treat you for whatever he says, and this son will invite you to dinner. ”

"Childe, this is not appropriate, how can the little one let the little one invite the little one to dinner?" Wang Jiu said embarrassedly.

"I don't invite you to dinner, do you want you to invite me to dinner? You didn't bring any money? How do you invite me? Without further ado, lead the way in front and go to a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat, and then we'll head home. ”

Wang Jiu couldn't resist Gao Fei, so he could only lead the way in front and entered a nearby restaurant with Gao Fei.

Gao Fei and Wang Jiu sat down at a table, Wang Jiu called the junior second in the store, Gao Fei opened his mouth and said, "Serve two plates of the best dishes made in your store, and some more food." ”

Xiao Er nodded and said, "Okay guest officer." I just don't know if the two dishes that the guest officer wants should be made into a top, medium or inferior dish? ”

Gao Fei was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "The dishes are also divided into upper, middle and lower grades?" ”

As soon as Xiao Er heard this, he said: "You don't know this guest officer, it's not that the dishes have top, middle and lower grades, but that the salt used to cook the dishes is divided into top, middle and bottom. Recently, the price of salt has remained high, a pound of refined salt has been sold for 100 yuan a catty, green salt has been sold for 70 yuan a catty, coarse salt has been sold for 50 yuan a catty, and even the brine salt with the worst taste has been sold for 20 yuan a catty. Nowadays, all the dishes in the Chinese restaurant in the capital are divided into three grades, corresponding to the grade of salt, if the guest officer wants to serve the dishes, then when cooking, the kitchen will add the most expensive refined salt to the dishes, if you want to taste the dishes, then add green salt, and add coarse salt to the dishes. ”

"Oh, I see." Gao Fei thought of what happened in Wujiang before, no wonder he went to sell salt, shouting fifty big money a catty, that Bai Yuan bought it without even blinking an eyelid, and later Li Cheng, Zhao Mo, and Guo Xun were willing to pay such a high price to buy his refined salt, it turned out that the price of salt had soared so much.

"If you want to eat, you can eat it, you can make these two dishes into the best quality!" Gao Fei said magnanimously.

After hearing this, Xiao Er's face was full of joy, and he answered, and immediately ran to the back kitchen to report the food.

When Gao Fei left Wujiang, although he handed over a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to Mao Bao for safekeeping, he also carried some belongings with him in case of emergency, which came in handy today.

After a while, the meal was served, and Gao Fei and Wang Jiu had a full meal before leaving.

However, Gao Fei didn't dare to compliment the dishes of this era, he only felt that the dishes in the restaurant were not even half as delicious as those made by his unpopular chef, and what was served was not a dish at all, but a vegetable soup.

On the way back, Gao Fei was thinking in his mind: "I don't know how the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion is cooked?" ”
