The first time she came to this kind of place, Ji Nanjin saw that everything was fresh, she ate oranges and small tomatoes, and ate small tomatoes and winter dates.

At this time, the two of them were standing on a wooden arch bridge, the water on both sides of the river was sparkling, and many unknown plants grew in the water, and occasionally fish swam through the water.

"Zhang, what's that?" Ji Nanjin saw a plant that looked like a ham sausage.

He Zhizhang glanced at it, he didn't know it, in order not to disappoint his wife, he took out his mobile phone and swept it at the 'ham sausage'.

"Water candles, cattails, stems and leaves can be used to weave puff mats, cattail mats, futons and other crafts."

“……”

Crossing the arch bridge, I saw a house in the distance, Biwa Zhuyong, antique, a bit of the meaning of the courtyard house of old Beijing.

On the side of the wall in the southeast corner, a branch of red plum blossom bends out of the wall, which has a poetic feeling.

The gate of the courtyard is open, and the scene in the courtyard is in full view, as if welcoming guests from afar, and every brick and tile is full of mystery.

Ji Nanjin thought that he would see a small spire building in the early European architectural style, but he didn't expect that what appeared in front of him was such a retro picture.

Ji Nanjin swallowed his saliva quietly, gently pulled down the sleeves of the people around him with his small hand, and asked in a low voice when he looked over: "Can you tell me first, how much does it cost to eat here for a while?" ”

Ji Nanjin stared nervously at He Zhizhang's mouth, with a hunch that she would hear a terrible number, orange tomatoes or something suddenly didn't smell good.

He Zhizhang didn't seem to intend to put pressure on her, and took her hand hanging on her sleeve, "It's better that you still don't know." ”

"......, so it's really scary, right?"

He Zhizhang seemed to be really familiar with this place, and dragged people through the courtyard into the main hall, looking calm, as if he was going back to his own home, which was completely different from his reaction at He's house.

That's too discriminatory, isn't it?

Ji Nanjin was muttering in her heart, when she heard a kind voice next to her, "Mr. He is here!" ”

"Uncle Qin." He Zhizhang bowed slightly at him.

Uncle Qin is the housekeeper here, in his early forties, wearing a cyan robe from the Republic of China, like a person who came out of TV.

At the same time that Ji Nanjin was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at her.

In the past, Mr. He came alone, but I didn't expect to bring a little girl this time, looking at the dress, it shouldn't be too old, is it a young lady from the He family?

"Mr. He, who is this?"

"My wife."

“……”

The expression on Uncle Qin's face was a little sluggish, just now, many answers flashed through his mind, but he never expected it to be this one.

Judging by this little girl's age, she should still be in high school, and Mr. He is too nonsense.

The sleeves of his shirt were pulled twice, He Zhizhang lowered his eyes, and met the girl's inquiring gaze, "He Zhizhang, who is this uncle?" ”

"Uncle Qin is the housekeeper here, just call Uncle Qin like me."

Ji Nanjin immediately called obediently, "Uncle Qin, my name is Ji Nanjin, you can also call me Xiao Jin." ”

“…… Good, good. ”

Uncle Qin obviously hadn't eased up, he touched his body, and then suddenly turned around and left, and a voice came from afar, "You wait for me." ”

Ji Nanjin looked at He Zhizhang suspiciously, "What's wrong with him?" ”

How could He Zhizhang be stupid to stand still and wait?

Pulling Ji Nanjin around the screen on the side, he came to a place that looked like a restaurant.

The large round table carved in ancient mahogany, the official hat chairs in a circle, probably because of the season, each chair is equipped with cushions and backrests.

Ji Nanjin ate in this kind of place for the first time, and curiously touched everywhere until someone knocked on the door and came in.

It was Uncle Qin who came in, holding a long wooden box in his hand, "Mr. He, He, Xiao Jin." ”

Facing this overly young face, the word 'madam' was really unspeakable, and Uncle Qin vaguely said it.

"Xiao Jin is here for the first time, Uncle Qin doesn't have anything for you, this ebony comb is something I used to do idlely, and the girl's hair is just right."

It turns out that I left just now to get a meeting gift!

Ji Nanjin looked at He Zhizhang, and saw that he nodded before taking the wooden box, and heard Uncle Qin say, "Open it and see if you like it." ”

The wooden box is not of any variety, it is heavy in the hand, the side lock is very retro, and even the satin padded inside is excellent, and there is a black comb about ten centimeters on it.

This is not an ordinary comb, the arc of the back is carved in the shape of an animal, a black 'big cat'.

However, this big cat looked a little lazy, lying on the back of the comb, looking at the crowd with half-closed eyes, full of wildness.

Ji Nanjin liked this comb at a glance, and couldn't help but play with it in his hand, "He Zhizhang, look, this cat is so beautiful!" Like our fries? ”

Uncle Qin's expression stiffened slightly, and then he shook his head with a smile, "Sit down for a while, I'll make you a pot of tea." ”

After the others left, He Zhizhang knocked on the girl's brain, "Little fool, this is a black panther." ”

“？？？” Ji Nanjin held the comb and flipped it over, and then was a little unsure, "It's all felines, they should look similar!" ”

...... "It's good if you're happy."

The two sat down around the table, Ji Nanjin was still researching new toys, combing her hair for a while, and asking He Zhizhang to take pictures of her for a while, full of childishness.

In the middle, Uncle Qin came in again, served them refreshments, and reminded them to eat less, and the dishes would come immediately.

Ji Nanjin ate two peanuts, stuffed another one into He Zhizhang's mouth, and asked, "Ah Zhang, why did Uncle Qin give me a gift?" I didn't prepare anything. ”

He Zhizhang saw that she was eating one by one, so he simply pushed the peanuts away, so as not to be able to eat the delicious ones later.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

This is to help her return the courtesy, Ji Nanjin held the table and kissed him on the face, smiling heartlessly, "Ah Zhang is the best." ”

Seeing that she quietly moved the peanut back, He Zhizhang's thin lips were hooked, if he could keep watching her smile like this, he could do anything.

A plate of peanuts was half less in a blink of an eye, and when He Zhizhang pushed the plate away for the second time, the first dish was served, which was a plate of cold dishes, crystal elbows.

Ji Nanjin just tasted it, followed by the second and third courses, which were cured meat and lo-mei platter and osmanthus glutinous rice lotus.

The appetizer was very hearty, and Ji Nanjin tasted a few bites of everything without missing anything, and the taste was better than any Chinese food she had ever eaten.

The fourth dish is braised shark fin, the fifth dish is steamed sea bass, and the sixth dish is a pot of dried bamboo shoots and duck.

After eating this, Ji Nanjin was almost full, and saw Uncle Qin coming over with a plate of dumpling dumplings, with a whole chicken in the middle.

If memory serves, this dish is called 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix', and it is a dish when Emperor Qianlong congratulated the Queen Mother on her birthday.

Ji Nanjin was scared out of the 'hiccup', but this is not over, there is also the tenth course, the legendary Buddha jumping over the wall.

Hundreds of birds and phoenixes, Buddha jumps over the wall!

It's a palace feast!

"The dishes are all ready, please use them slowly."

After Uncle Qin finished serving the last dish, he retired after success, leaving He Zhizhang with a pot of self-brewed wine, which was aged and white.

He Zhizhang poured a cup, and as soon as it was brought to his mouth, he was robbed.

Ji Nanjin was shocked by the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of her, and thought that He Zhizhang was tea in his hand, so he snatched it and drank it, but he stuck out his tongue spicily.

"What is this? It's spicy! Ji Nanjin's tears came out, and she kept fanning her tongue with her hand, pitiful and funny.

He Zhizhang poured her a cup of tea, and put a few pieces of meat on her plate, and Ji Nanjin ate it all.

Now she has reacted, it is soju.

The main reason is that He Zhizhang has never drunk soju in front of her, and she didn't pay attention to herself because she stared at that big table of dishes.

After drinking a large cup of tea and eating a few more bites of food, Ji Nanjin finally came to life, and when she looked up, she saw someone's smiling eyes.

"Still laughing! It's all your fault! ”

"Well, blame me."

The good-natured He always makes people embarrassed to lose their temper again, Ji Nanjin asked curiously while eating the dishes he sandwiched: "He Zhizhang, did you order these?" There were only two of us, what a waste. ”

"Do you know what it's called?" He Zhizhang did not answer the rhetorical question.

Ji Nanjin nodded, and when she came in, she saw a plaque hanging at the door, which read, 'Lin Shen doesn't know where'.

People in the deep forest don't know, and the bright moon comes to take pictures. Verses from Wang Wei's "Bamboo Pavilion".

But what does this have to do with waste?

As soon as He Zhizhang saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking, "There is a stone at the door, and the rules for entering here are written on it, and one of them is 'do not accept orders'." ”

There are still four words, He Zhizhang didn't say it, for fear of frightening his little girl.

Ji Nanjin remembered that there was indeed a big stone at the door, but he didn't pay attention to what was written on it?

"So for people who come here to eat, what they eat depends on the mood of the boss? So what if the guest doesn't like it? ”

"Return the money."

“……”

What He Zhizhang didn't say was that the guests who came here were either rich or expensive, and they often had to make an appointment for such a meal half a year or even more in advance.

And not only does what you eat depend on the boss's mood, but it also depends on the boss's mood whether you accept an appointment or not.

The boss not only does Chinese food well, but also Western food and Japanese food are very good, as for those who are lucky enough to patronize, there is no one who is not impressed by the boss's cooking skills, and wants to visit again.

It's a pity that there is a rule that 'Lin Shen doesn't know where', each guest only accepts one reservation, and if you want to eat, you can only rub other people's tables.

"There are so many rules!" Ji Nanjin listened carefully, her eyes widened, "Then is it the first time you have come here to eat?" Have you thought about bringing me here for a long time? ”

This girl's ability to grasp the key points is good, He Zhizhang only feels soft in her heart and wants to hold people in her arms.

"Some people say that if one day I marry a wife, I will bring her here for dinner."

"Is this the master?"

He Zhizhang bowed slightly, and Ji Nanjin immediately showed a yearning expression, "The boss must be a master of the world, the dishes are so good, maybe he is the descendant of the imperial chef, have you seen him?" Is he Chinese? ”

This girl has too many questions, He Zhizhang raised his hand and rubbed her head, "There is a chance to introduce you to each other." ”

Ji Nanjin nodded vigorously, and then looked at the table again, "Although it's delicious, it's really too much, you can see my stomach is bulging." ”

Seeing that there was no one here, Ji Nanjin lifted her sweatshirt and exposed the vest inside, so that people could see clearly that she really couldn't eat it.

He Zhizhang pulled down his clothes with a dark face, "The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is naturally a little richer, it doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, this is called more than every year." ”

"Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

Ji Nanjin looked outside at the person who helped him sort out his clothes, and asked in hindsight: "Thirty today?" ”

I took out my mobile phone and saw that it was already twelve o'clock, which means that it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

So they really celebrated the New Year together, right?

"He Zhizhang! Happy New Year! ”

The neck was entangled, and the girl kissed him on the face excitedly, "I wish you good health, all the best, Wishing you prosperity!" ”

I don't know if the old wine is too intoxicating, or if the wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk, looking at the girl's bright eyes, the corners of He Zhizhang's lips rose uncontrollably, and a light kiss fell on her face, "Happy New Year!" ”

May you be safe and joyful, and be carefree.

May you live up to your glory and always be by your side.
