Chapter 560: The Banquet
The speed of Gao Jingfei's carriage is comparable to that of a sports car, and regardless of the terrain, it can even drift off the ground, even if it is a mountain road.
From Jiangmu Village to Gantian Town, it is only a short five minutes.
On the way, they also met the foreign priest and his party, these people also came by carriage, but the speed of the carriage was not much faster than walking, although they left Jiangmu Village first, but they were quickly surpassed by Gao Jingfei and their team, this speed made the two entourages in charge of driving the car almost stared out after seeing it.
"Father, it's those people from Chongshantang!"
The entourage who drove the carriage did not see the situation of the carriage in front of them clearly, but in the carriage behind, Mao Jiufang's two apprentices were very curious about this kind of luxury carriage that was really a country bun and had never seen the market.
Father Fasfan was also looking out through the carriage window, and he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the three carriages that were more luxurious than the royal carriages of the royal families of Europe, because the wide glass windows that were as transparent and pure as water alone could not be produced in this era.
Not to mention that the three carriages didn't look like they were walking on the road at all, but more like they were flying, and they disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye.
This worries Stefan Flick himself.
"Eric's damn fellows, and John, their bodies are still in the hands of those people, these people are mixed with that heretic Mao, they must be going to Gantian Town!"
"Fortunately, the support assigned by the Holy See should be coming soon, and it will ...... then."
……
Gao Jingfei and the others didn't know that the foreign monk who was left behind was designing a conspiracy in his heart, and the atmosphere in the first carriage was slightly solemn at this time.
The reason is that Mao Jiufang asked a question.
"Gao Daoyou, I don't know what to do with those two foreign zombies?"
The two sides have experienced the trip to the ancient tomb together, and they have become relatively close, so they call each other friends. This is also Gao Jingfei's request, otherwise Mao Jiufang is still calling him Gao Zhangmen one by one, this is a matter of etiquette, not acquaintances, and they can't break the rules.
But then it seems more distant.
Hearing that Mao Jiufang asked about this topic, Wu Shanhua scolded in her heart, only this stubborn guy surnamed Mao would speak bluntly about this kind of thing.
Gao Jingfei understood why this person asked this question, and the character of the ninth uncle in the parallel world was also witty but upright, and he never compromised on right and wrong, so he didn't mind answering with some good feelings:
"Those two should not be inferior to zombies and are considered to be among the corpse demons, it's a pity to burn them like this, that Jiang Ji also explained a few words to me before ascending, it just so happens that my Taiyi Mixed Yuan Sect still lacks two protectors to guard the mountain gate, maybe after many years, it may not be possible to refine two Flying Yakshas!"
Then he said: "I know what you are worried about, but although my Taiyi Mixed Yuan Sect is not from a famous and upright family, I am not a leftist person, and I still know what to do and what not to do." ”
Mao Jiufang let go of a lot of worries, he asked this question, but he was just habitually worried that the other party would do evil with zombies.
But judging from the means that the other party has been casting, it is a dignified and righteous magic power, and he will not be wrong in this regard.
Even this paper car and paper horse is not a quick evil method that uses the blood of the soul to be sacrificed and practiced by the side door or even the evil way, but is refined by the Taoist technique of spiritual purity and a bit of incense.
And although there are some evil intentions on these people, they are all resolute and upright in their eyes, and they are not the kind of people who break the law and discipline.
As he spoke, the road gradually straightened, and he had come to the vicinity of the village not far from Gantian Town.
Because the Chongshan Hall opened by Mao Jiufang and the church in the town are one east and one west, not to mention that the old and the dead do not get along, they rarely meet, and they take the road into the town on the east side, so they can't pass the church.
"It's not too late today, let's rest in the humble house for one night, and then I'll take you to see the foreigner church tomorrow, and I'll treat a few Taoist friends in the evening!"
Gao Jingfei and the others are as they please, naturally listen to the other party's arrangement, and are not in a hurry to find task clues or anything, and Gao Jingfei has a hunch that it is likely to be easier to get task clues by following Mao Jiufang's side.
After all, this is a Taoist who is very similar to that ninth uncle!
If this world is also a movie, then Mao Jiufang can definitely be said to be the protagonist, at least the protagonist of Gantian Town and the entire county. Anything unusual that happened in this area is basically inseparable from this person.
As he spoke, the carriage had reached a more remote façade to the east of town.
On the signboard above is written three large characters that are upright and powerful, Chongzendo.
It looks like just an ordinary modern pharmacy and medical hall, simple but very comfortable to look at.
When you come to Mao Jiufang's land, you naturally can't let the guests go to the guest house.
Chongshan Hall belongs to the kind of front store and backyard, with several side rooms, after all, as a person in the Xuanmen, it is inevitable that there will be a few colleagues who will come to the door, so Mao Jiufang must also prepare some rooms for guests to stay in.
That night, Mao Jiufang asked his apprentice to go to the best restaurant in town and order a first-class banquet to entertain Gao Jingfei and other traversers and Wushanhua, an old friend. The latter obviously had a plan in mind, and he was not ready to leave Gantian Town for the time being.
Because of a waterway connecting with Hankou, an important town in the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and there are special products such as Gantian wine, the town is prosperous in commerce and trade, and can be called the first town in the county, and the population and economic aggregate are not far behind the county seat.
In addition, the vendors bring delicacies from all over the world, so the restaurants in the town mainly serve Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, which are very popular with merchants and locals.
After all, it is the source of the mid-summer diet that left pen and ink during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, the state banquet and court dishes are also mostly respected by Lu cuisine, followed by Huaiyang cuisine, the former is fresh and fragrant, and the latter is light and does not lose the taste, so the banquets of the local government are mainly based on Lu cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine.
The second is Cantonese cuisine, which is more popular in the south, similar to Huaiyang cuisine, which is famous for the two Huai salt merchants who are rich and rival the country, and Cantonese cuisine has also been carried by the Thirteen Lines and other wealthy merchants to enhance its status in the Xia food industry after becoming the open port of the Jin country.
Because Cantonese has been close to foreign countries since ancient times, Cantonese cuisine has many fresh methods and is famous for its freshness.
As for the dishes in Sichuan, Shu, Xianggui and other places, because of the heavy taste of regional relations, at this time they were not as high-end as those of later generations, and they were not on the table, but they were widely welcomed by ordinary people.
After all, the food for the old man should not be so heavy, and it should be safe, otherwise it is easy to eat bad stomach.
A meal of authentic old-fashioned Lu cuisine and Cantonese cuisine combined with the banquet made Gao Jingfei very satisfied.
He is also half a foodie, and he also likes to study some food practices, although he has not experienced much and has not been able to eat all over the country, but with the extraordinary recipes and precious ingredients given by his brother Liu An, plus the condiments such as spiritual spring water, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gourmet.
If you eat too much delicious food, your mouth will naturally be picky.
The food that can make him praise is definitely a real delicacy.
After eating a satisfactory dinner, although he was not tired, Gao Jingfei also received Mao Jiufang's kindness and was arranged to rest in the guest room cleaned by Mao Jiufang's apprentices.
He also needed spare time to figure out the two autopsy books given by the immortals, and at the same time, he was also guessing the origin and identity of that senior.
