Jiangning, also known as Jiankang and Jinling, was the former capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty more than 100 years ago.

At this time, Jiangning Mansion is the capital of Jiangnan East Road, although it is not among the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the city is vast, the weather is thousands, and it can be called the largest mansion in the southeast.

This Jiangning is different from the northern capital since ancient times, and there is a little more of the fat powder atmosphere of the south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen from this that in the Tang Dynasty, on the Qinhuai River in Jiangning City, there were celebrities and courtesans singing and harmonizing with each other.

After the group entered Jiangning City, Ximenqing did not support Shi Qian to inquire about An Daoquan's residence, but led everyone to drive directly to the Qinhuai River and found an inn to settle in.

The Northern Song Dynasty was a dynasty with developed commerce and trade, and at this time, Quanzhou and Mingzhou in the south were the most prosperous port cities in the Great Song Dynasty, which indirectly led to the commercial development of the entire Jiangnan region. As the first capital in the southeast, Jiangning is naturally also a gathering of business travelers, the Washe restaurants on both sides of the Qinhuai River are endless, although they are not as good as Tokyo Bianliang, but for the first time to see the scenery of the Northern Song Dynasty in Ximenqing, but it is also dizzying.

After setting up the residence, it was already dusk, and the four Xiang soldiers were left at the inn to eat, and Ximen Qing moved the two at the same time, but they left the inn and followed the flow of people along the bank of the Qinhuai River to enjoy the fun. The two of them walked all the way to the vicinity of Wuyi Lane, which is the most prosperous place of the Qinhuai River, surrounded by a flow of people, wine shops and columns, Ximen Qing directly chose a restaurant with the most luxurious decoration and entered it proudly.

Ximen Qing looked like a boy and brother in the wind of Yushu, and after entering the restaurant, he was immediately led to a private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper.

This time I went out of the house, and I chased all the way, most of the way was by water, and I was sloppy in eating and living. This Ximen Qing from later generations, although he was born in an ordinary place, after all, there were many seasonings in that era, and just one monosodium glutamate could turn decay into magic, which was much more delicious than the ordinary dishes of the Song Dynasty.

Naturally, you can't worry too much about the road, and now that you have entered Jiangning City, and you are not shy in your pocket, Ximenqing made up her mind to have a good meal and learn about the cooking level of the top restaurants in this era.

In fact, in this era, most of the food is mainly cooked, as for all kinds of spices, but due to the development of maritime trade, there is no shortage, but the price is high, which is not affordable for ordinary people. In the scholar class, not getting tired of eating and not getting tired of being fine has become the pursuit of officials up and down the Great Song Dynasty. From Kou Zhun in the Renzong period, to Ouyang Xiu and Su Dongpo later, and now Cai Jing, no matter how these ministers of power are in power, they are all striving for perfection in this aspect of eating.

Compared with the various cooking techniques of later generations, the restaurants of the Song Dynasty still lacked a lot, but in terms of ingredients and intentions, they were far stronger than the restaurants of later generations. There are more than ten dishes of various colors, almost each with its own characteristics, which makes Ximen Qing and Shi Qian eat very happily.

Of course, this meal is expensive, which is enough to meet the living needs of ordinary people for a year, but for a wealthy tyrant like Ximenqing, it is still within the scope of bearing.

"Xiao Er, do you have a person on the Qinhuai River who calls Li Qiaonu?"

When the shopkeeper came up to settle the bill, Shi Qian, who had been instructed by Ximenqing, grabbed the other party.

"Li Qiaonu, you can ask the guest officer, her house is behind Wuyi Lane not far from here, but I know the path."

"Then it's troublesome for the little second brother to run later."

Shi Qian casually rewarded the shopkeeper with a piece of broken silver, which caused the other party to nod again and again.

In this kind of restaurant, the little two running halls already know everything about the Goolan tile house on the Qinhuai River, and introduce the guests to Fengyue to collect some benefits on weekdays, which is also a livelihood, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant often turns a blind eye to this.

In fact, this Li Qiaonu is not a famous prostitute in Jiangning City, and he is a little older, but he rented a small yard in a small alley behind Wuyi Lane.

The shopkeeper didn't know how this out-of-town guest knew Li Qiaonu's reputation, but he led the two to the door, knocked on the door and attracted the old man/bustard, and then turned around.

"The big official is so handsome!"

As the saying goes, the old / bustard loves money, and the / son loves pretty.

Like Ximenqing, who has both wealth and appearance, is naturally the most popular in Fengyue Field, although the old / bustard does not know Ximenqing, but when he sees such a person, he immediately put on a smile on his face, beckoned the two into the courtyard, and shouted to the attic while walking, "Qiaonu come out quickly, there is a noble son today, really a good person!" ”

Followed the old / bustard into the attic, left the time to move below, Ximen Qing climbed the stairs, saw a pair of young women in their ten-year years waiting at the staircase, seeing his suave charm, also eyes rippled, the corners of the mouth showed a little smile.

Sitting in the upstairs living room, the old/bustard went downstairs to greet the move, and Li Qiaonu sat on the opposite side with a smile: "I don't know if the officials listen to music or drink?" ”

"I'm going to redeem you!"

Ximenqing didn't hide it for a while, and went straight to the future, but let the old bustard who walked down half of the stairs run up all the way.

"The little woman and the official have never seen it, this ransom ......"

Li Qiaonu's deed is naturally in the hands of the old man/bustard, but the handsome man in front of him has never known his life, and he wants to redeem himself as soon as they meet, Li Qiaonu naturally has some concerns in his heart. Being in this Fengyue place, the first half of his life is already a cup of bitter brew, if he trusts no one else, won't the second half of his life be ruined.

"Three hundred taels!"

Ximenqing simply gave the ransom price, and was so shocked that Li Qiaonu sat down, but the old bustard on the side was smiling, and without waiting for Ximenqing to regret it, he directly accepted the gold ingot on the table that was worth three hundred taels of silver, and turned around and took out Li Qiaonu's deed from his arms and handed it to Ximenqing's hands, and Li Qiaonu, as a party, could only watch from the sidelines, and there was nothing he could do.

"This great official is so generous, Qiaonu, you will have a good life in the future!"

"Get out!"

Li Qiaonu, who was smiling a moment ago, was upside down at this time, and scolded the old bustard downstairs, and then turned around and bowed down to Ximen Qingyingying, "From today on, the slave family is an official, a slave and a maid, let it be disposed of, and only ask the officials to have mercy." ”

"Miss Li misunderstood!"

Ximen Qing helped Li Qiaonu back to his seat from the ground, gently pushed the deed on the table in front of him and said, "There are relatives in the next family who are seriously ill, and I heard that Jiang Ning'an's divine doctor has rejuvenated his wonderful hands, and he has come from thousands of miles to extend the invitation, and he also asked Miss Li to turn around in front of the divine doctor." Whether it succeeds or not, this deed can be regarded as a little bit of mind. ”
