Xie Qingshan thought about it, and hurriedly delivered the dishes to Fu's house, and then went home without delaying lunch, so he was in a hurry all the way. It was almost noon and I arrived at the foot of the mountain behind the Qingxu Temple, and the straight-line distance from the mountain villa of the Fu family was close, but the vertical distance was still separated by a long stone staircase, so that I could really see the gate of the Fu family's courtyard.

After adding 20 sesame oil money, he temporarily stored the mule cart in the Qingxu Temple, and began to climb the mountain with the basket of vegetables on his back.

Their father and son are used to walking mountain roads, not to mention the neatly repaired stone steps? After a while, they arrived at the gate of the Fu family.

wiped the thin sweat on his head, and saw that the main gate of the Fu family's courtyard was closed, and only a corner door was opened next to it for people to enter and exit. At this time, there was a small guy sitting by the corner door, wearing a green coat and a six-in-one hat, sitting in the gatehouse drinking tea.

Xie Qingshan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little brother, please report it, say that the old man of the Xie family has sent food!" ”

"Food delivery? Didn't the kitchen manager Zhang go down the mountain to buy the groceries? How did you get to the front door? The little guy asked lazily with a cup of hot tea.

"The old man is not specialized in delivering vegetables, last time Master Fu said that my family's shed vegetables are planted, and I want to taste how my family's vegetables are grown. No, I cut a basket and give Master Fu and Young Master Sun a taste. Xie Qingshan said with a smile.

"What did my master say?" The little guy looked at Xie Qingshan's father and son carefully, and saw that they were wearing blue-gray cotton caftan brown, with a net scarf on their heads, and they looked like ordinary people, so they didn't care much and said, "The master is retreating for alchemy!" Don't disturb anyone, go back! ”

"This little brother, since Master Fu is busy, it is the same to tell Young Master Sun." Xie Qingshan frowned, so he had to accompany him and said, "Last time, Young Master Sun also said that he wanted to taste my family's dishes!" ”

"In that case, you wait first, and I'll go and tell Young Master Sun!" The little guy put the tea on the table a little reluctantly, got up and walked inside, muttering in his mouth: "What kind of gold and silver vegetables, and I sent them here, my Fu family has never eaten any dishes in the capital...... Now the people who come to stutter don't have any eyes at all......"

After all, Ping An is young and vigorous, listening to the little guy's muttering words, he felt a little uneven in his heart, and he couldn't help complaining: "Dad, let's bring them food, but begging them!" What are we doing? ”

"Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult. He is disgusted that we didn't give him favors! Only then did Xie Qingshan react, "Master Fu and Young Master Sun of the Fu family are both extremely kind people, we can't be angry because of an ignorant little guy in his family......"

After waiting for a while, I saw the little guy trotting over, and seeing that Xie Qingshan and Ping'an were still there, he hurriedly bent over and smiled: "I'm looking at the sky with my butt - I have eyes and no beads, I collided with two people, and please don't blame the two of you." Young Master Sun, please come over! ”

Xie Qingshan and Ping'an were a little puzzled by this little guy's front and back respect, and hurriedly said politely: "Little brother is too humble!" Please lead the way......"

Along the way, rockery and flowing water, winding path corridors are not to mention, and there are flowers and plants that bloom undefeated in all seasons, which are still lush and lush when all things wither, which is extremely rare.

Walk through the instrument gate, turn the rose stand, walk through the wooden incense shed, the nine-curved corridor, and walk to a place full of dark incense. Xie Qingshan looked at it, but it was a green calyx with ancient branches, more than three zhang high, moss ancient branches, and the plum blossoms of the tree were delicate and dripping. Under the ancient tree, there is a quaint stone table, three stone benches, and a brocade mattress covered with stone blue.

The little official Fu was wearing a tea-white oblique jade silk robe, stepping on cloud satin foundation boots, and wearing a pine-colored scarf on his head, and was sitting on a stone bench. On the stone table, silver bone charcoal is burning in the bronze lying cow water stove, and there is a copper kettle of pine, bamboo and plum on it, the water has been boiled, and it is steaming, but the little official is unaware of it, and he is holding a book in his hand and reading it fascinated.

The little guy approached, his steps became lighter and lighter, and he whispered: "Young Master Sun, the little guest has been brought!" ”

Fu Junzhi turned his head and saw Xie Qingshan's father and son, hurriedly put down the book and stood up, and said with a smile: "How come Uncle Xie has time to come here today?" But what good herbs can't be made? ”

Xie Qingshan already knew last time that this Fu family was an official in the capital, so he really dared to be contemptuous? Seeing that Fu Xiaoguan got up to greet him, he was about to bend down and kowtow, and Ping An also put down the vegetable basket and kowtowed.

Fu Junzhi hurriedly took two steps forward and stopped, "How can my husband make such a big gift?" You gave the recipe to Baicaotang, this high righteousness, the juniors admired, don't be so polite in the future! ”

"Don't dare, don't da......re," Xie Qingshan was sincerely afraid. The old man came this time to send some shed dishes to the old gods and little officials to try. Earlier, because he said that he wanted to plant winter vegetables, the old fairy said that he wanted to taste the vegetables grown by my family, so he sent ...... to your house."

Fu Junzhi walked to the vegetable basket and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, your family has really grown it!" It looks better than my Zhuangzi. ”

Xie Qingshan asked: "Why, the petty officials also grow vegetables at home?" ”

"Grandma has always been a vegetarian when she was alive, and she built a greenhouse at home, and planted some vegetables and flowers in winter to add vegetables to grandma." Fu Junzhi said with a smile: "I see, the vegetables in the greenhouse are not as good as those you planted!" ”

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke." Xie Qingshan hurriedly humbled himself.

"Why don't you see Sister Xuan coming?" Fu Junzhi looked behind Xie Qingshan, and couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, it's cold, the little granddaughter is lazy to go out, she smiles, she smiles......" Xie Qingshan said embarrassedly, "The little official wants to see her?" I'll bring her next time. ”

"Haha, I see." Fu Junzhi smiled and said: "Then I must bring her over next time, I have a few words I want to ask her!" ”

asked Ping An who he was, what kind of agent he was, and whether he had ever been married, Xie Qingshan answered them one by one. At the end, Fu Junzhi asked, "Have you come all the way to eat?" ”

Hearing that Xie Qingshan's father and son hadn't had time to eat, they ordered the kitchen to cook, and asked the little servant to take them to the Zuixia Pavilion to eat and drink and serve them well.

After saying goodbye to Fu Junzhi, Xie Qingshan and Ping'an followed the footsteps of the little maid and went to the Zuixia Pavilion.

On the way, the little servant said diligently: "I didn't know that Mr. Old and Young Master Sun were old acquaintances, and I collided with the two, and I ask you not to meet me in general!" ”

Xie Qingshan saw that he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so he smiled and said, "Little brother is joking, where is there any collision!" It's just a misunderstanding! ”

The little guy became more and more happy, and led Xie Qingshan's father and son all the way to Zuixia Pavilion, urging food and wine, and accompanying Xiao Yi'er to serve.

For a while, the meal was slowly served, first on four fruit boxes, white raw snow lotus, yellow-orange orange Shandong mandarin, crispy melon seeds, sweet silk sugar fried hazelnut; Four plates of ready-made cold dishes were served, namely fragrant and thick goose gizzards, sliced preserved duck, pickled fat crabs in autumn, and Huangdeng Dengtaizhou duck eggs.

When Xie Qingshan and Ping'an were sighing for Fu Xiaoguan's kindness, they saw the little guy hugging a jar of Jinhua wine, personally patted the sealing mud, and poured Xie Qingshan to eat peacefully.

After some excuses, I saw that there were four blue and white porcelain plates served one after another, which contained the whole roast goose, crystal sparkling lychee pork, fragrant and tender steamed fish, fat and bald fried bone, the staple food is a pool of fragrant rice, and a bowl of sweet and sour soup to accompany the food.

Because the little guy only cared about serving diligently, Xie Qingshan and Ping'an were quite uncomfortable eating this meal, and repeatedly invited the little guy to eat together, but the little guy only said that he didn't dare.

In the end, Xie Qingshan's belly was round after eating peacefully, and he loosened his belt a few times, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

There was still half of the food left on the table, so I had to barely straighten my waist and say goodbye to my master.

Hearing that the petty official went to class, and another small guy took a bag of silver and two thanks, Xie Qingshan repeatedly refused, so he had to accept it, and bowed twice from afar, and went down the mountain to return home with an empty basket on his back.
