Xunxiang Building.

The first building in Jiujiang.

But this first building has only a short history of seven or eight years.

The reason why it can be transformed into the first building in Jiujiang from a little-known small restaurant in just a few years is not supported by any strong background background, completely relying on the owner's skillful hands, the Jiangxi cuisine is full of color and fragrance, not only retains the cuisine characteristics of Jiangxi and also integrates some of the flavors of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, so that merchants from the south to the north can taste Jiangxi dishes at the same time without getting bored, so this business is getting bigger and bigger, Wuhan civil unrest year, finally built a three-story building at Jiujiang Wharf, With the development of the exchange, the boss has set aside half of the room on the third floor to transform it into a Western-style single room, and has also started a combination of Chinese and Western business.

At the beginning of the night, the small palace lamps are lit outside the Xunxiang Building, gently swaying with the lake breeze, and the stars in the sky, the starlight in the lake, blending into one, making people feel as if they are in the middle of the sky and water, and the beauty is very charming. Maybe that's why the boss doesn't use neon signs.

The carriage of the town guard slowly stopped on the side of Xunxiang Building, Chang Zhenbang walked into Xunxiang Building accompanied by Zhang Youneng and Zhang Xiaoliu, today he was dressed in civilian clothes, dressed like a student, if not very familiar people are almost difficult to recognize, those Xunxianglou guys saw Chang Zhenbang three people coming, did not send a hug, but did not want to walk out of a guy, said loudly: "I am sorry, the private room upstairs is finished, you can only be wronged in the hall if you want to eat." ”

Zhang Youneng glared at him, and said with a fake tiger: "Our masters are the masters of eating in the hall?" Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, we have an appointment! ”

The guy said without humility or arrogance: "Please ask the room that the master booked, the small one will take you over!" ”

Zhang Youneng said proudly: "Dongying Jiujiang Business Club, Mr. Wuchuan Xingying's room. ”

The guy said: "Mr. Wu Chuan is scheduled for the second floor of the Spring River Night, please ask a few masters to go here." "Saying that, he led a few people to the second floor is facing a single room on the surface of Poyang Lake, this single room is simple in shape, the lintel is written with flying white three big characters of the spring river night, the atmosphere is simple and full of rhyme, and the two sides of the door are 'the spring river tide is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is born together.' Couplets of verses.

The man knocked lightly on the door and said, "Mr. Wu Chuan, your guests have come, if you have any needs, there are people waiting on the second floor, just call, I wish you a happy meal." After speaking, he turned his head and smiled slightly at Chang Zhenbang and the others, and said, "What do you need, but please command, if not, the little one will retire." ”

This young man is not simple, he is neither humble nor arrogant along the way, and his performance is remarkable, which also makes Chang Zhenbang admire the good means of the owner of Xunxianglou. However, Zhang Youneng, the lieutenant colonel and lieutenant, showed flattery to the Dongying people from beginning to end, and he was really not as good as a restaurant guy.

Chang Zhenbang said: "What's your name?" Been here for a few years. ”

The guy said: "Little Liu Fen, it's been almost three years since I came here as an apprentice. We Xunxianglou wine and food, I hope to make you satisfied, if you are satisfied, please be sure to bring friends next time, if you are not satisfied, please tell the small, the small must be corrected, will not let you be dissatisfied for the second time. ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, after three years of apprenticeship, you will soon be on your own." ”

Liu Fen said politely: "Yes, three years of Xunxianglou has benefited the small one a lot, if the small one still does this business, I hope the boss can continue to take it in." ”

"Interesting! After three years of studying, the little brother was asked to do other industries, which is really interesting. Chang Zhenbang said with a smile.

Liu Fen was not annoyed at all and said: "What Mr. said is that if the little one didn't come to this Xunxiang Building as a running buddy, he must have continued to be a buddy after leaving the school, or opened his own snack bar, fortunately, the little one came to this Xunxiang Building and understood the principles of being a man and doing things, these principles can not only be used as a buddy, but also in other aspects." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Well said, young man, you are very ambitious, I am optimistic about you." As he spoke, he took out three or four pieces of ocean from his arms and slapped them on Liu Fen's hand, saying, "It's hard work." ”

Liu Fen smiled at his subordinates, not pretentious at all, as if that was what he deserved, turned around and saw that Chang Zhenbang had no other instructions, so he bowed to the long needle, turned around and went downstairs gently.

"Cut!" Zhang Youneng said contemptuously: "It's just a trotter, and he is so ashamed to say it." ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced at him, didn't say anything, pushed the door in, but saw that the single room was cleaned up and had been covered with clean and neat tatami mats, although it was specially prepared for today, but there was no pretentious ingredient, it seemed very natural, a few small sheets, neat things were opposed as if the civil and military two classes stood in line, the location of the king was deep into the window of Poyang Lake, there were many windows facing the lake, and the two were connected together to be a wall wide. The night breeze blows gently and makes people feel a little refreshed, and the two Dongying screens stand between the small table and the window.

Wuchuan Xingying saw Chang Zhenbang come in, and the eyes of the yin owl shot a fiery light, and he hurriedly explained to the left and right, got up and greeted him, and said: "Zhenbangjun, for your arrival, the Wuchuan family expresses its sincere honor." ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said, "Old friends, we have been separated for many years, but I didn't expect to meet in Jiujiang today, it was really fate." But I'm ashamed to make you spend money on my turf. ”

Wu Chuan Xingying said with a smile: "Zhen Bangjun, when you were in Dongying, you were willing to come to my house to eat and drink, could it be that if it wasn't for my sister's treat, you would have become so embarrassed?" ”

Chang Zhenbang felt a pain in his heart, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, am I so unbearable?" After a few haha, the double guest and host sat down. Chang Zhenbang was a guest and sat on the east side, once Chang Zhenbang, Zhang Youneng and Zhang Xiaofei. On the west side is naturally these Dongying people, and the person they are headed by is, of course, Takekawa Yukio, followed by Takekawa Yukio who came to help during the day, and there are two thirty or forty-year-old Dongying people below Takekawa Yukio, but looking at the family crest on their kimonos, they should also be members of the Takekawa family.

In ancient China and even the whole East, etiquette penetrated into any corner, a little carelessness will make embarrassing mistakes, especially when the seats are arranged, a little carelessness is war and rebellion, but then gradually formed the pattern of the northern monarch and the southern minister, the east and the west, because the status of the civil official is higher than the military attaché, the position of the east is also prominent in the west, Chang Zhenbang and others do the east after feeling that the other party is very respectful, but only the Dongying people are the samurai to establish the country, they sit in the west of the symbol of the samurai, and also feel that the Wuchuan Xingying arrangement is very appropriate.

Taking advantage of the difference in culture, Wuchuan made both parts satisfied, but this move made Chang Zhenbang not underestimate him, I didn't expect this person to come to China for a few years, and he actually played this set of interests so perfectly, far better than him, so that he was a little ashamed, which had to cause Chang Zhenbang to think deeply, these Dongying people really plan to establish a great Dongying common prosperity and benefit East Asian countries? Or something else. He used to think less or even think about it, but now he can't think about it less.

After seeing that the two sides were seated, Wuchuan Xingying stood up and applauded a few times unhurriedly, and after a while, the door was opened again, and the guys with exquisite dishes rushed in, like the wind blowing without leaving a sound, put down the dishes on each small table, and turned away, the formation was neat and regular, without any panic, it was like a dance, which was admirable.

The production of Dongying's cuisine is quite particular about a fresh word, requiring fresh materials, exquisite cutting, beautiful placement, and paying attention to the harmony and unity of "color, fragrance, taste, and utensils", especially not only paying attention to deliciousness, but also the pursuit of good looks has reached the outrageous point. Even the three of them are discarded for the sake of good looks, and sometimes they are really good looking and not delicious. It is in stark contrast to the delicious first and the second good-looking advocated by China. Of course, if you have to say that Chinese characteristics are full of color and flavor, it is nonsense, except for the big hotel, almost everyone can do it with both color and flavor? Besides, if you have the intention of seeking perfection, it can ensure that almost more than 90% of Chinese people have never eaten qualified Chinese cuisine, and we have all pulled back Chinese cuisine. Find a knife and apologize!

Zhang Youneng looked at the colorful dishes on the small table in front of him, and didn't feel excited, but he always felt that the portion was a little less, as if he couldn't stand it. I couldn't help but order a yellow-green biscuit-shaped mustard while everyone was not paying attention, quietly stuffed it into my mouth, who knew that this yellow-yellow-green-green thing just touched the tip of the tongue, and a pungent taste gradually spread in the mouth, until it filled the entire mouth, and the spicy smell gradually attacked the nasal cavity, the rich smell choked the eyes, and the tears fell out in a loud voice, and at the same time the whole person became bad, a face was distorted and deformed, and the kind of discomfort was so uncomfortable that Zhang You could hit Xiao Ji with his head.

"Mr. Zhang Youneng is the first time to eat the food of the country, so I am so moved, it is really an honor to be contemptible." Wu Chuan Xingying laughed and asked people to send Zhang Youneng a cup of cold water. He picked up the cold water and drank it with his head up, but he only drank seven points, and the remaining three points ran down his face and chin. After a while, I barely suppressed the spicy and choking taste. At this time, he didn't dare to despise the diet of the Dongying people, so he had to follow the Wuchuan family and Chang Zhenbang to eat sashimi and Daifuku.

Chang Zhenbang took a bite of the Dafu cake, revealing the strawberries inside, and couldn't help but feel: "This taste ...... it."

Wu Chuan Xingying said: "Zhen Bangjun has been away for many years, but he forgot the taste of Dongying? ”

Chang Zhenbang sighed, gently put down the Dafu cake in his hand, and said with a smile: "Even if I forget the sashimi, I won't forget the Dafu cake, but, probably my illusion, the taste of this Dafu cake is a little familiar." ”

Takekawa Yukiei just wanted to say something, but Takekawa Yukio on the side said happily: "Brother, you really haven't forgotten this taste, this is made by Sister Sakurako, I said that as long as you take a bite, you will definitely know." You see, I'm right! After saying that, he had a smug gesture, so that Wu Chuan Xingying wanted to punch this younger brother to death, this is a good banquet, but you can't really use this place as a place to eat and catch up like a child.

Chang Zhenbang sighed and said in a joking tone: "I think when I borrowed from Wuchuan's house back then, I caught up with the loss of appetite, if it weren't for your sister's reluctance to work hard for me to make Dafu cakes and other food for me every day, my life would be in Dongying, hehe." ”

Yukio Takekawa was about to speak, but was stopped by Yukiei Takekawa and said: "Before Zhenbangjun borrowed my family, he was also a person who lived in Tokyo for a year and a half, but I didn't expect that I lost my appetite at my house and fell ill in bed, which was all a coincidence." Please don't mind. ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I don't thank you for my kindness, I Chang Zhenbang will always remember this kindness, and I will repay Sakura well when I have the opportunity, I don't know how Sakura has been doing for so many years." ”

Takekawa Yukio pushed Takekawa Yukio at this time, and Takekawa Yukio immediately said: "Sister, everything is fine, but the marriage with the Sanjo family has not been smooth, so far I have tasted secretly sad, if my brother is free, I might as well persuade my sister." ”

"What do you know, boy!" Takekawa Yukiei immediately scolded: "The marriage between Sakurako and the Sanjo family is recognized by my grandfather and father, this is the union of the Takekawa family and the Sanjo family, and we juniors should not be involved in the existence of any personal feelings." ”

Wu Chuan Yukio said unconvinced: "Even if Brother Zhenbang gets married, my sister won't like that old man!" It's you, brother, in order to marry the Shimazu family, you actually gave up your sister to marry that ugly monster, and you really don't get involved in any dead people's emotions. ”

"Enough!"

Takekawa Yuiying, who has always laughed and laughed, was furious, but he turned his face faster than turning a book, and soon he looked like a spring breeze, and said: "This is the case in all East Asian countries, the glory of the family is more important than our personal feelings, and Sakurako will wake up one day after all." What does Zhen Bangjun think? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "You are right, the family is the foundation of our survival and development, and we will be bound at the right time, but nothing is absolute, if the Sanjo family and the Wuchuan family are broken up one day, Sakurako can pursue her happiness without worry." ”

"Brother Zhenbang is right!" Takekawa Yukiei smiled: "It's a pity that the probability of this kind of thing happening now is one in ten thousand, and it shouldn't happen before Sakurako wakes up, hehe." ”

Chang Zhenbang shook his head, gently picked up a small plate of sake, took a sip, and said, "Good intentions have their own good rewards, and a kind woman like Sakura will not be too embarrassed by God." ”

Wu Chuan Xingying said: "Kindness is her innocence, so she is easy to be taken advantage of by traitors and disgrace the family!" However, the goodwill of the adults to build a Western hospital outside the leased land in Jiujiang can benefit all the people and contribute to the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, and Dongying Jiujiang Business Club is not willing to help the adults to fulfill this wish as soon as possible. Let more international friends who are thousands of miles away from home be like adults who first went to Dongying, so that they will not fall ill in a foreign land because of water and soil adaptation, or other reasons, Sakurako will be happy to know! What do adults think? ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "It's rare for you to be so enthusiastic, Chang has no intention of stopping it, but after all, this matter is a big matter, and it was said that all countries would build together, if you leave the countries aside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain!" Wu Chuanjun, you also know that Chang is just a martial artist after all, one side guards, don't say that I can't withstand the pressure from the central court, even the protest from the Lord Basiri side can also kill me, so I think it's better to find an opportunity for everyone to sit together and discuss this matter. ”

"The Great Eastern Empire and the British Empire are friendly allies and are committed to the prosperity and stability of the Far East. Yukiei Takekawa said with a gloomy voice.

Chang Zhenbang smiled awkwardly and said: "The friendship between your country and the British Empire In the battle with Lao Maozi in the Northeast, Chang Mou admired, although Lord Basiri will not object, but some things still have to go formal." ”

Wu Chuan Xingying stretched out his index fingers and touched them in the air, forming a fork gesture, and said, "One hundred thousand." ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly: "Do you think this official is only worth 100,000? ”

"Pounds!" Takekawa Yukiei said proudly.

"Courageous!" Chang Zhenbang said enviously.

"Deal?" Takekawa Yukiei asked tentatively.
