When Ren Yuan saw Chen Xuanli, the two of them were stunned together, they were bare-ass friends who had been playing together since childhood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info good friends meet, naturally very affectionate, there are endless words.

After the politeness, Chen Xuanli pointed to the willow crab on the table and asked puzzledly: "Brother Ren, I remember that the willow crab was not eaten in this way in the past, nor was it this taste?" Why does the crab meat have an earthy smell now? ”

Ren Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chen, you haven't come back in the past few years, Yushan Pass has changed a lot...... If you don't cut the crab and use the spicy soup to remove the earthy smell, the crab meat is now unpalatable. ”

Zhang Bao'er listened to Ren Yuan's words on the side, and was about to ask carefully, but there was a commotion outside the restaurant, it turned out that Yushan Pass Zhechong Mansion got the news of Zhang Bao'er's entry into the customs, and Zheng Guang personally led people to greet him.

Zhang Baoer originally planned to find an inn to live in, but she couldn't withstand Zheng Guang's repeated persuasion, so she had to follow Zheng Guang to the pavilion that had been prepared a long time ago.

Zheng Guang arranged for Zhang Bao'er and his party to stop, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qincha has come from a long way, Kurama Tired, you have a good rest first, and in the evening, I will prepare a good crab banquet for you, so that you can catch the wind and wash the dust." ”

Sending Zheng Guang away, the more Zhang Baoer thought about it, the more wrong he became, he and Chen Xuanli changed into civilian clothes, slipped out of the back corner door of the pavilion, and went straight to the Liuxiang Crab Restaurant.

Before he came to the restaurant, he saw Ren Yuan get into an open-top carriage, and there were two huge crab baskets hanging behind the carriage, and the direction of the carriage was to Topaz Mountain outside the city.

Chen Xuanli was about to step forward to greet Ren Yuan, but was stopped by Zhang Baoer.

Zhang Baoer raised her hand and called a rented carriage with a shed, and followed behind Ren Yuan's car from a distance.

Half an hour later, two carriages arrived at the pass of Topper Mountain.

There was a team of officers and soldiers guarding the remote mountain pass, Ren Yuan nodded his head, said a lot of good things to the officer on duty, and finally took out two taels of silver, and the officer waved his hand before letting his carriage go.

Zhang Bao'er also wanted to learn from Ren Yuan's appearance and pass through the pass, but those officers and soldiers refused to live or die, Zhang Bao'er had no choice but to tear his throat and shouted: "Shopkeeper Ren, they refuse to let us go, you can help me say something!" ”

Ren Yuan sat in the carriage and turned around, and saw that Zhang Baoer and Chen Xuanli were quietly following, so he had to come back and take out two taels of silver, which was the only way to take Zhang Baoer and Chen Xuanli across the mountain pass.

Zhang Baoer followed Ren Yuan and went to Liushen Lake. Along the way, they chatted while walking, and Zhang Baoer learned the truth of the matter from Ren Yuan's mouth.

It turned out that the fishing of willow crabs in the lake had been monopolized by Zhechong Mansion, and Ren Yuan could only buy the willow crabs in the lake at a high price.

Zhang Baoer stood by the lake, looking at the turbid water, with a suspicious look in her eyes. There is a lot of yellow-brown dirt piled up on the shore of the lake.

The two officers and soldiers patrolling the shore saw that Zhang Baoer did not buy willow crabs, but they looked at Liushen Lake vigorously, felt that his behavior was suspicious, shouted at him, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

As soon as Ren Yuan saw that Zhang Bao'er was about to get into trouble, he hurriedly ran over, glared at him, and reprimanded: "I know that I am lazy, and I can't come to work!" ”

Zhang Baoer hurriedly returned to the car and helped Ren Yuan load the crab basket onto the carriage with Chen Xuanli.

By the time they returned from Topaz Mountain, the sun had already set on the treetops.

Zhang Bao'er patted Ren Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Captain Zheng wants to invite me to the crab banquet tonight, can Brother Ren do the younger brother a favor tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Baoer wanted to invite Ren Yuan to make a table of crab banquet in the pavilion tomorrow, and he wanted to invite Zheng Guang back. As soon as Ren Yuan heard that he was asked to cook, he suddenly came to his senses, and in the huge Yushan Pass, he didn't believe that anyone was better at cooking a crab banquet than him!

Zhang Baoer, Chen Xuanli and Ren Yuan broke up at the city gate, and they returned to the pavilion.

As soon as the two of them finished changing their clothes, Zheng Guang's messenger who invited them to the banquet arrived.

Zhang Baoer led Jiang Yuqiao, Uncle Hua and Chen Xuanli to Zhechong Mansion.

The guards guarding the palace first unloaded their weapons and then inspected them for a long time before they were brought to the central hall.

Zheng Guang's face was full of spring breeze and he was very enthusiastic.

The chef who specially cooked for Zheng Guang in Zhechong Mansion was named Diao Debiao, who was specially invited by Zheng Guang from Kuiyuan Building in Luoyang for a lot of money. Diao Debiao makes a good dish, especially good at making crabs, and people give him the nickname Crab God.

I saw Diao Debiao in front of the guests, waving a knife to cut ten willow crabs of the same size and shape with a round navel, and then went down to the spicy soup pot. After a while, the crab fragrance wafted out, Diao Debiao took a bamboo tong in his hand, took out the willow crabs in the soup pot, and then quickly put them on the plate into a whole crab.

Looking at Diao Shenyan's crab spelling technique, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but nod again and again.

Zheng Guang smiled conceitedly: "Cut ten willow crabs of the same size in half and cook them, and then put them together into the original whole crab, this eyesight, that is definitely real kung fu!" ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Guang glanced at Zhang Bao'er and said, "Master Zhang, you have a good eye for picking a cook, right?" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded and ate the crab, while observing the crab that was cut open on the plate, and when he ate the two fat crabs, he patted his head and laughed: "I know the reason why he can quickly fight crabs." ”

As she spoke, Zhang Baoer pointed to the knife edge on the crab and said to Zheng Guang: "The knife edge on these crabs is not straight, and the angle at which it is cut is completely different, as long as you remember the angle of one of the crabs, you can easily find the other half." ”

"I didn't expect Lord Zhang's eyesight to be so good!" Zheng Guang couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Zhang Bao'er smiled with a pun: "If my eyesight is not good, how can Your Majesty send me to Yushan Pass." ”

Hearing Zhang Bao'er's words, Zheng Guang almost didn't choke, so he had to cough a few times in embarrassment.

The crab banquet was eaten until the second watch, the guests and hosts were happy, Zhang Baoer saw that the time was not early, hugged his fists and said goodbye, and said to Zheng Guang when he left: "Tomorrow I will set up a banquet in the pavilion to invite Zheng Duwei, you must come." ”

Zheng Guang nodded again and again: "Please rest assured, Lord Zhang, I will definitely bother tomorrow!" ”

The next day, Ren Yuan just came to the pavilion where Zhang Baoer lived, and Zheng Guang's personal guards surrounded the pavilion layer by layer, and all the weapons in the pavilion had been taken away by the pro-soldiers.

Zheng Guang went to the banquet today and brought Diao Debiao over, the willow crabs made by Ren Yuan were carefully selected by Diao Debiao, the size and size, the weight and color were almost all the same, and when Ren Yuan spelled three willow crabs for Zheng Guang and brought them up, Diao Debiao looked at the knife marks on the willow crab that were cut very straight, and checked the secret notes he made on the crab, these three crabs were not bad at all, and they all became the original crabs.
