Chapter Seventy-Eight: Good Wine and Good Food

Suzhou City, belonging to the Great Song Dynasty Jiangzhejiang Road Transit Envoy, Pingjiang Military Festival, backed by Taihu Lake, standing against the lake.

The most famous lakes are Taihu Lake and Cao Lake in the west corner, Dianshan Lake and Chenghu Lake in the east, Kuncheng Lake in the north, Yangcheng Lake, Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake in the north, and the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal run through the north of Suzhou.

Due to the vertical and horizontal rivers in the city of Suzhou, it is also known as the water capital, water city, and water town, and the 13th century "Marco Polo's Travels" praised Suzhou as the Venice of the East.

Of course, it is only the 11th century, and the grandfather of Marco Polo's grandfather may have just appeared with a fertilized egg, and naturally there is no name for the Venice of the East.

However, during this period, although Venice has developed to a certain extent and is no longer just a small fishing village, where is it qualified to be compared with the rich city of Suzhou?

Suzhou has been famous for its wealth since ancient times, and it is known as the rich of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The Northern Song Dynasty is the richest dynasty in China for 5,000 years.

Suzhou City can get this name, its prosperity and wealth can be seen.

Xiao Han flew from Mount Emei to Suzhou, the whole journey was almost 3,000 miles.

It took him almost a day to go around and around, mainly in the sky where he often gets disoriented.

If you only use the sun and moon as a reference, there will always be some deviations.

The difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles.

He also had to stop every now and then to ask the locals to determine his location, then compare the map and change his flight direction.

If there is some bad weather on the way, Xiao Han has to keep rising, pass through the clouds, and fly at real high altitude.

At the beginning, Xiao Han felt a little unbearable for this kind of high-intensity flight, he was not a hard-working person, he could be comfortable and lazy, how could he suffer in the wind and rain?

However, after holding on for a while longer, Xiao Han suddenly felt that this experience of riding a fire crossbow arrow, galloping, shuttling through the sea of clouds, and splitting the wind and waves was indeed a bit exciting.

It's no wonder that in the Harry Potter world, the Broomstick replaces almost all other flying items as the most popular and beloved flying item for wizards.

Where can this feeling of whistling in the wind be compared to those slow props like the magic carpet?

Unconsciously, Xiao Han also liked the feeling of flying at extreme speed.

Of course, this is also because he doesn't have that strength for the time being, and he can fly quickly in the air on his own.

When he has that ability in the future, he naturally can't look down on things like flying broomsticks, after all, flying on a broom always comes down to the image, which is a little unsightly, isn't it?

In fact, at the beginning, Xiao Han considered driving from Dali to Suzhou.

However, not to mention whether there are roads suitable for driving in this era, even if he can drive an off-road vehicle, he does not have a map of this era.

Maybe you can get lost if you drive it.

Of course, driving an off-road vehicle, which was a strange and abnormal machine for the ancients, Xiao Han was definitely watched by people along the way.

As for airplanes, helicopters and the like, Xiao Han had never been exposed to these things in the Harry Potter world before, and he couldn't summon them with the source point.

After all, there are no planes in the world of Heroes and Heroes.

He had taken a passenger plane once, but even if he had a plane, he wouldn't have flown it.

On the whole, the best means of transportation for him at present is the flying broomstick.

Speeding all the way, Xiao Han finally saw the huge lake below, and from the direction he had asked some locals before, he could be sure that this was Taihu Lake.

Passing through Taihu Lake, Xiao Han soon saw a rather prosperous city, with the words "Suzhou City" written on the city gate.

At the city gate, in and out, there is a lot of traffic, most of them are ordinary people dressed in cloth, or carrying burdens, or pushing carts.

Xiao Han hung in the air at a height of thousands of meters, flew back and forth a few times, and carefully looked at the specific situation of the city below.

In the air, using transfiguration, he turned his outfit into the appearance of the man in white before.

After carefully taking care of his clothes, Xiao Han nodded, feeling quite satisfied, so he put away the fire crossbow arrows, a teleportation technique, and came to an uninhabited alley in Suzhou City.

Taking out the folding fan, Xiao Han walked out of the alley leisurely, and when he looked up, he could see the sign of the inn in front of him - Yuelai Inn.

Come to think of it, since he came to this world, he has never enjoyed the food of this world.

Although, Xiao Han, who comes from modern society, has definitely eaten far more food than these ancients.

But in ancient times, even if it was not as good as modern times in terms of cooking methods, tools, seasonings, etc., there would definitely be food.

In particular, this is one of the most prosperous cities in our current era.

This Yuelai Inn, but Xiao Han has been looking for it in the air for a long time, and the inn with the largest area he picked out should not disappoint him.

Of course, if this one is not agreeable, he has some other alternatives, such as the Drunken Sky Tower, the Jade Pavilion, and so on.

……

"Yo, this guest officer, please inside, please inside, may I ask if you are sharp, or do you live in the hotel?"

As soon as Xiao Han walked into the door of the inn, he saw a shopkeeper wearing a felt hat and a white cloth draped over his shoulders, bending down and bowing, and welcomed him in very warmly.

"What good wine and food do you have?"

Xiao Han walked in and looked around the inside of the inn, it was noon, and there were not many diners in the inn.

"Hey? Guest, there are a lot of good food and wine in the small shop, let me tell you about it. ”

In this big city, the shopkeeper in the big inn is not comparable to ordinary people, and he is ready to introduce Xiao Han without stage fright at all.

"Squirrel mandarin fish, three shrimp tofu, white sauce yuan fish, lettuce pond fish fillet, rouge goose, eight-treasure boat duck, snowflake crab juice, fried prawns, just these few things, it can be called the world's delicacy, famous.

If the guest officer feels that these are not enough, if he is not satisfied, the store also has three sets of duck, slippery chicken, braised chicken, stewed soft-shelled turtle, boiled dried shreds, sweet and sour mandarin fish, double-skin saury, Wensi tofu, stewed lion's head, it is really the top delicacy. ”

The shopkeeper reported more than a dozen dish names in a very short period of time, and Xiao Han didn't hear all of them, but just what he heard, judging from the names of the dishes, the taste should be good.

The diners on the other seats obviously saw too much of Xiao Er's performance, and they laughed and laughed.

Seeing that Xiao Han had no expression on his face, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and opened his mouth again.

"In this Suzhou city, we have the most famous Yuelai Inn, the best dishes, the most clean and comfortable rooms, in addition to the above, we also have Yiya five-flavor chicken, Fu Liji roast chicken, overlord farewell concubine, mandarin duck chicken, green onion roasted lonely goose, Lotte duck, Ji Fei with dragon face, ground pot grass chicken, ......"

"Stop, stop!"

Seeing that the second junior of this shop was still energetic, all kinds of dish names popped out of his mouth, Xiao Han's head was big when he heard it, and he quickly interrupted his report on the name of the dish.

"Bring me a squirrel mandarin fish, farewell my concubine, three sets of ducks, stewed lion's head, huh...... That's all. ”

casually ordered a few dishes that I had just heard clearly, Xiao Han fanned his fan, and secretly wiped a cold sweat, this shopkeeper can really say it.

However, he originally thought that there would not be too much food in ancient times, but he was slapped firmly.

With so many dish names, there are basically few of them he has ever heard, let alone eaten.

"It seems that I am really lonely and short-sighted."

Xiao Han thought secretly.

"Okay, objective, dare to ask, what other good tea and good wine do you need?"
