"In one more hour, it's almost there." The steward gestured to the boss of the boat and asked, and replied respectfully.

Guo Sheng's boat behind was in a hurry, full of sails, but he still couldn't keep up, Bai Jingning looked at it for a while, and instructed the steward: "Slow down, let them get closer." ”

On Bai Jingning's boat, the sail fell halfway, Guo Sheng was overjoyed, signaled Hu Panshi to steady, chased for a quarter of an hour, slightly behind Bai Jingning's boat and half a boat, and came up in parallel.

Guo Sheng stretched out half of his body outside the boat, rushed at Bai Jingning and Bai Qiao, who were standing in front of the mast, waved his hands vigorously with a smile, and shouted: "It's me!" Lao Hu! And my cousin! See you again! I didn't expect to catch up with you, close and close! Come closer! Can't get closer? Okay, that's it! ”

Bai Qiao looked at Guo Sheng, who was dancing excitedly, and Xu Huan, who was standing behind Guo Sheng, laughing and waving at him and his father, laughed, "These two ...... I really found a boat and floated to the sea. ”

Bai Jingning was carefully looking at Guo Sheng's boat and the boatmen on board. But he can't see anything, he knows very little about the sea boat, as for the boatmen on the ship, their actions are neat and powerful, and the lower plate is very stable, but the boatmen on the sea seem to be so stable, otherwise, they can't stand on the sea without wind and three feet of waves.

He couldn't see anything wrong, but he always felt that the boat opposite, as well as Guo Sheng on the boat, was not so simple. But that Xu Huan is a real scholar.

Today's wind is not small, the waves are naturally not small, Guo Sheng shouted closer, and Hu Panshi next to him roared that he couldn't get any closer, and he couldn't give more silver, who would pay if he broke the boat?

Bai Qiao watched Guo Sheng and Hu Panshi jump to their feet, and couldn't stop laughing, Bai Jingning watched for a while, and motioned to the steward to shout, so that Mr. Hu and Mr. Xu could not be impatient, and the boat would be anchored for a while, and it would not be too late to meet and talk again.

Guo Sheng and Xu Huan finally sat back, and the two boats entered Huating Port one after the other.

Compared with the town wharf like Tangni, Huating is much more lively, the plank road stretches into the sea for a long time, and the slightly smaller boat can directly lean on the plank road.

Several large cargo ships from the south to the north have also approached Huating Port one after another.

When the boat was moored, it was very close, Guo Sheng leaned out, arched his hand at Bai Jingning and Bai Qiao, and shouted: "This Huating has excellent white goat meat, I invite two, let's get off the boat?" ”

Bai Jingning had already made up his mind, arched his hand with a smile, and made a gesture to get off the boat.

Guo Sheng and Xu Huan went down to the boat, and next to it, Bai Jingning took Bai Qiao and more than a dozen long-term escorts to the boat.

On the shore, Guo Sheng stepped forward, bowed to Bai Jingning, and arched his hand to Bai Qiao, his eyes sparkled happily, "Sure enough, I met you." It's a fate to meet thousands of miles away! After breaking up with the two of you yesterday, my cousin and I discussed that it would be better to find a boat and float on the sea for a few days.

I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, just in this Huating Port, I found a boat, the price is not expensive, the boat boss is honest and neat, or an old acquaintance, I knew him in the early years, I didn't expect to become the boss now, said far away, it is rare that he has a good ship, and it is an old acquaintance, my cousin and I hired it.

This morning, before dawn, my cousin urged the boat boss to set off, and in the morning there was a south wind, and I thought I couldn't touch you. ”

Guo Sheng looked very excited, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gushed endlessly.

Bai Qiao lost his laughter, Bai Jingning hurriedly patted him, Bai Qiao hurriedly held back his laughter, Xu Huan patted Bai Qiao's shoulder from the other side, "Just laugh if you want to, he is a person, he doesn't mind this." ”

Bai Qiao couldn't hold back any longer, burst out laughing, laughed out, and hurriedly explained to Guo Shengchang: "I don't mean anything else, I'm really happy to see Mr. again." ”

"I understand, I understand, I'm such a lively person, everyone is very happy to see me, I accompanied my cousin to the literary meeting, and everyone said that my cousin was invited because of me." Guo Sheng laughed louder than Bai Qiao.

Even Bai Jingning laughed out loud, this Hu Sheng is really, as soon as he sees him, it is two words of excitement.

Guo Sheng talked endlessly along the way, and several people walked into the lively city from the dock unconsciously, Guo Sheng spoke, but did not delay walking to pick a place, pointing to the most rich and lively restaurant next door from a distance, "...... I am familiar with this Huating, I don't know how many times I have been here, you see that family, the most magnificent and rich, the most conspicuous, in fact, his family's food and wine, are not as good as the next door, the proprietor of the next door, is a native of Pingjiang Mansion, I heard that it is the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, there are a few specialty dishes, very rare......"

Guo Sheng said as he rushed to the front and led everyone into the Qingyuan Building next door.

Compared with next door, Qingyuan Building is much more restrained and quiet.

Bai Qiao entered the lobby, turned his head to look around, Bai Jingning looked at his son and said with a smile: "This Qingyuan Building, and the Qingyuan Building in the capital, are the capital of the same family, this is about the previous generation of old ladies who went back to their hometown to raise and opened the one when they were idle, Mr. Hu knows a lot." ”

Bai Jingning looked at Guo Sheng, "His family is indeed the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, he has served Renzong all his life, rare good skills, there are indeed a few family heirloom specialty dishes, the rules of his family, every restaurant must have a dish that is only sold in this restaurant, I don't know which one this one is." ”

Guo Sheng glared at Bai Jingning in surprise, "It's true?" I'm still ...... Mr. Bai doesn't know, such a legend, known as a time-honored brand, has it in every family, and I really don't dare to take it seriously. Mingzhou City also has Qingyuan Building, but Hangzhou City does not, this family's specialty ...... I really don't know about this, in fact, every restaurant you said must have a specialty dish that is only sold here, and this is the first time I've heard of it. ”

Guo Sheng is very simple, I don't know it, I don't know.

Bai Jingning smiled and let Guo Sheng and Xu Huan go inside, and went upstairs first, looking at the guy as he walked, and asked, "Which dish is the best of you guys?" ”

The guy has heard a few people coming and going, his feet are not stopping, he walked upstairs briskly, turned around and said with a smile: "A few masters are well-informed, the trumpet has this rule, the best thing in the small shop is to blindly simmer the pig's hand, which is the specialty of the ancestor who opened this restaurant, other dishes, most of the mutton has to be tasted, the white cut clear soup is braised in oil and stewed, the shrimp and fish are very fat at this time, and there is a saury fish and river knife today." A few people here, please, this room can see the sea in the distance, but it is the brightest. ”

The man let a few people into the private room.
