"For as long as I can remember, Guangheju has been a time-honored brand, and at that time, I heard the old men say that no matter what they eat or buy, they rarely pay out of cash, and they are generally on the account, and they will be settled at the end of the year."

If it comes, it will be safe.

Seeing that Meng Fan sincerely invited him to dinner, he had two empty bags, and there were only two loads of twist flowers left, and he was not afraid of being trapped, the merchant simply let go, and all kinds of old allusions can be said casually:

"During the Daoguang period, the calligrapher He Shaoji often ate here and owed old debts. Later, when he couldn't afford to pay for the aged wine, he wrote an IOU by himself.

If the shopkeeper got the treasure, he immediately ordered someone to put the IOU on a table and hang it in the store, and many literati rushed to appreciate this ink treasure when they heard the news, and overnight, Guanghe Ju was like a city and became a famous restaurant in the capital......"

There is a sigh of emotion in his words.

I don't know if it's reminiscing about that time that can be said to be in the past, or lamenting that I can come in and eat.

"Well, fried kidney flower, Jiang tofu, Pan's steamed fish, Bashu spicy fish roe skin, steamed scallops."

"This is the dish on the menu, do you have any recommendations?"

Looking at Meng Fan's sincere eyes, the merchant hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Dao Ye, just the two of us, you ate a lot on the street before. ”

"It's okay, it's just a matter of barely mixing three points full, you just have to say, I want to try the food of Jingshi."

"Three do not stick, it is like honey, pan fish ......"

The guy in charge of remembering the dishes didn't dare to underestimate it, these days, the monks and the like can't be provoked.

Besides, Meng Fan's bearing is not like that of mortals, and the guys in Guangheju are used to seeing big scenes, and they have seen all kinds of characters, so they are not worried about this Taoist master eating white food at all.

At this time, there was a shouting outside.

"Mr. Zhou Da is here, Mr. Qian Da's house is a seat."

Week?

Meng Fan, who was ordering, raised his eyebrows, Brother Xun is actually a pen name, and Mr. Zhou's name should be Zhou Shuren, a tree in ten years and a hundred years.

"Dao Ye knows Mr. Zhou?"

The guy noticed something strange and hurriedly asked.

"Shaoxing people?"

Meng Fan asked rhetorically, seemingly a little excited.

"Yes, since you know Mr. Zhou, why don't you go to the first number and sit down?"

It's confusing.

In the end, Meng Fan nodded in agreement.

But before that, he paid twenty yuan for the box, after all, he and Brother Xun are not related, and they are not even the easiest township party to make friends, so they can only be bold and use money to open the way.

The other side.

The man who walked in the hall led the guests to the number A, and quickly opened the curtain, shouting:

"Mr. Zhou Da has arrived!"

In fact, as a gourmet, Brother Xun didn't look forward to it, and when he introduced it to his friends in the past, his evaluation of Guangheju's food was not very positive.

However, this place is still the restaurant he frequents the most, and the reason for this is actually convenience-

Shaoxing Hall is in the south half of the north of the alley, Guangheju is in the north half of the alley south of the south exit, every day from the Yamen, you have to pass through the Guangheju.

This time, a fellow villager sent out an invitation, and deliberately chose a restaurant a little closer to the hall, Brother Xun got off work, and he really couldn't shirk it, so he had to come.

Just as he was thinking, the curtain opened again:

"Meng Daoye has arrived!"

Dao Ye?

Mr. Qian, who was in charge of organizing the bureau, was stunned for a moment, and the other guests were even more confused.

There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.

The people who went to the banquet this time were all learned people, how could there be Taoist priests coming.

Well...... Good bearing!

Brother Xun praised in his heart.

And Meng Fan also looked at him for the first time, at this time, this great writer was only in his early thirties, and a few years after returning from studying abroad, under the recommendation of a friend, he had just eaten official food and was in charge of national education.

On the side, because of the money, seeing that the Dao Ye and this group of people did not know but wanted to make friends, began to bloom lotus flowers, and after a while, the atmosphere became lively, and Meng Fan took the merchant to sit down.

When he reported to his home, he specifically mentioned that he had traveled to Western countries, and sure enough, everyone's eyes became more and more curious and respectful.

Coupled with the fact that he had goods in his stomach, crossed twice, the vision from later generations, and the extra life experience, Meng Fan immediately became a guest.

At first, Mr. Qian Da, who organized the bureau, was still a little unhappy, after all, he invited the township party to dinner, and killed a Taoist halfway to dominate the guests, which is the truth?

But Meng Fan talked extraordinary, had a mysterious origin, and bluntly said that he heard that a group of erudite people gathered here and came here to make friends.

With such a posture, regenerating anger is not a gentleman's doing.

After some exchanges, Meng Fan also subverted the past cognition, judging from the article, Brother Xun should be a middle-aged man who is calm and calm on the outside, but there is a faint flame burning in his heart, but now he can see it with his own eyes, but he is not so withdrawn-

Funny and humorous, although there are not many words, but he will open his mouth coldly, say a few words that make everyone's stomach laugh and hurt, and he doesn't keep his face tight.

"Alas, on the first night I came to Beiping, I still remember that there were more than 30 bed bugs on the bed, so shocked that I rolled up the cover and lay on the table to pretend to sleep."

"The wisteria annex of the guild hall is too noisy, and there are often Fujian guests in the adjacent room, such as wild dogs."

"The Tree Repair Book House is quiet, and there are two trees planted in the courtyard, one is a locust tree, and the other is a locust tree."

"It's cloudy all day long, and it's easy to have nightmares."

His gaze couldn't help but fall on Meng Fan.

As we all know, Taoists cure evil and catch ghosts.

"It's easy to hear."

Help Brother Xun catch ghosts?

A hundred years later, it is a good talk, and Meng Fan will naturally not refuse.

"If it works, I'm not in a hurry to buy a house."

These days, Brother Xun has discussed with his family and plans to move out, and the place has almost been found-

A set of three-entry courtyards, twenty-one main rooms, counting the wing rooms, a total of thirty rooms, in addition to a small garden, plus a small courtyard.

The owner of the courtyard shouted for 3,500 silver dollars, but the money around him was not enough, and he planned to buy it with his second brother, and his mother also agreed to sell the old house in Shaoxing.

chatted until the evening, and everyone left in twos and threes, making an appointment to see each other next time-

Meng Fan, who was invited this time, was also considered to have integrated into this circle, and the gentlemen inquired about his residence, saying that they would visit Lu Zuguan in the future.

Outside the restaurant.

Brother Xun carried a large wooden box and lit a cigarette in the late autumn breeze, with a long shirt, a flat head, and a mustache, and his appearance was extremely distinct.

"You invite me to lunch, I'll invite you to dinner......" Brother Xun said.

Then, I proposed to go to Liulichang Street for a stroll.

Hades is not bad for hungry ghosts.

Meng Fan immediately responded to his invitation to dinner, but followed a big meal, and before leaving the restaurant, he was asked by everyone to pack two baskets of meat for the whole family, and the merchant seemed embarrassed, and finally made up his mind to resign-

The boss of Guangheju is a good person, and before everyone left, he took the initiative to buy all the assorted stuffed twist flowers, and asked the merchant to deliver them to the restaurant in the future.

Now, Meng Fan made up his mind to patronize Guangheju business more, and the merchant has a fixed big customer, and his life can be much better.

Good luck, go out and meet nobles......

He didn't know how many times he repeated it.

"Two oceans, don't shirk, buy winter clothes for your wife and children."

Before parting, Meng Fan was still generous.

Of course, he can give more, but the merchant can't keep it, and kindness will bring disaster.
