It wasn't until he passed the Chaotian Gate that Zhao Mengqi lifted the window and began to look at the street market in Lin'an.

It's been exactly a month since I came here, and this is the first time I saw the appearance of Lin'an City.

Chaotianmen north and south, as if two worlds, although there are also shops and houses in the south, but there are not many, and the wealth is heavier, and the flow of people is limited.

And this north, not long after coming out is one of the three major tiles of Lin'an, the south tile, there is an entertainment gathering place, there are many Washe Golan, this morning there are many rich idlers lingering in it.

On the stage open on three sides, there are all kinds of performances, opera, rap, miscellaneous plays, the forms are rich and diverse, the people in the audience are sitting or standing, all of them look at each other, see the highlights, they applaud, and do not hesitate to reward, copper coins fall to the front of the stage like snowflakes.

On the opposite side of the street from Nanwazi is a row of restaurants and restaurants, of different sizes, the most conspicuous of which is Xichun Building, a three-storey main building, which looks quite majestic in this era.

The carriage traveled all the way north, and Zhao Mengqi saw that other shops also had their own characteristics, some directly facing the streets and alleys, some with courtyards and gardens, some single-storey, some two-story and three-storey, and only selling goods, and some with workshops and storefronts.

Not only the building forms are diverse, but also pay special attention to decoration, or on the façade to tie the color building, the door, or hang signs, banners, and some in front of the door set up red branches, crimson curtains, gold and red gauze mast lamps, etc.

Not only is the strong commercial atmosphere comparable to that of later generations, but also the eaves and arches, antique and antique have more charm, which makes Zhao Mengqi feel a little intoxicated.

The flow of people on the street is like weaving, the further you go north, the more dense it becomes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rubbing shoulders, lively and peaceful, a group of fireworks in the world.

Zhao Mengqi looked fascinated, like a hillbilly who had just entered the city, but Chang Geng and the others were extremely nervous, and from time to time they put their hands into their robes to make sure that they could take out their blades at any time if necessary.

"Ah Lang, not far ahead, there is Wujianlou, where the tea and pastries are the most famous in Lin'an, and it is relatively quiet, why don't you go there for some breakfast?"

In this crowded environment, Huang Wolf was also worried, so he proposed to Zhao Mengqi.

"When you say that, I'm really a little hungry, so let's go fill my stomach first." Zhao Mengqi was still looking at the street.

The reason why this section of the street is so crowded is because the north side of Nanwazi is adjacent to Zhuzi City, and then there is a city across the south square and Zhongwazi, so there are many people looking for fun, and it really looks like a little entertainment to death.

Further on, there is a big crossroads, looking up to the southwest, there is a huge 'meat market', this city is the 'city' of Shinan Fang, which not only sells meat, but also all kinds of other commercial goods.

The intersection to the west, that is, the West Lake Avenue of the later generations, two miles away is the 'Fengyu Gate', because there is a Yongjin Pond in the door, also called the 'Yongjin Gate', out of the city gate is the West Lake.

To the east, there is a 'city river' parallel to the royal street, which was called 'Zhonghe' in later generations, and there are five buildings after crossing the bridge.

The reason why the five buildings are called five rooms is because it is composed of five two-story independent lofts in the east, west, north, south, and middle, and there are sky bridges between the buildings, which looks quite interesting.

Zhao Mengqi chose the west building by the river, and the private room on this upper floor can also see the royal street, and after sitting down by the window, the little hat and short brown guy came up with a chopsticker and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"What do you have in the store?" Zhao Mengqi didn't see the water brand menu, so he asked casually.

"Back to the noble words, this morning, the small shop supplies large millet rice, roasted meat, dried meat, wonton, bean curd, lamb stuffed small steamed buns, fat and hemp dumplings, Jiang bean chestnuts, turtle sand filling, spring cakes, oil onion rice cake, taro buns, white cakes, soft sheep roasted kidneys, salt wine kidneys, etc., as well as all kinds of soups, there are four soft soups, chalcedony soup, miscellaneous soup, double crispy stone belly soup, pig and sheep bones, miscellaneous spicy soup, all colors of negative soup, large and small chicken soup, pork powder soup, three big and cheap bone soup, in addition, the shop is not only divided into four directions, the four sides of the famous food is also not lacking, Inserted meat noodles, large boiled noodles, fried braised pork, fish pockets, cooked koji with tung skin, fried fish rice, quail-stuffed dumplings, fragrant medicine filling lungs, exquisite double strips, seven-color baked cakes, steamed gold collars, door polish, chrysanthemum cakes, wide coke, side thickness, pith cakes, new full hemp. Generally, the noble people want to supply the shop, even if there is really none, you can also call for it. ”

I don't know if this guy is deliberately showing off, or if all restaurants report the names of the dishes like this, these dozens of dishes are reported without panting, and their mouths are comparable to those of later generations of cross talk actors, as for the 'call' he said, it is actually a takeaway.

The little guy said very smoothly, but Zhao Mengqi was dizzy when he heard it, so he had to wave his hand, "Huang Xuan, you look at the arrangement, give Chang Geng and them as much as possible." ”

Huang Zhi chose to eat according to Zhao Mengqi's preferences and tastes, and then said, "The other two tables, although the best ones in your store are on the table, if they order others, they will be satisfied." ”

"Okay!" When he met a high roller, the little guy smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Then the noble man needs some tea?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Mengqi came to his senses, "Call the best tea lady in your store." ”

can make a sum of money again, and the little guy is so happy that the corner of his eyes is about to fly to the sky, "Wait, noble, the villain will arrange it for you." ”

Although there are a lot of things ordered, the efficiency of this restaurant is very high, but in a moment, four small servants came to eat.

I saw that each of them carried three bowls in his left hand, and about 20 bowls were stacked from his right arm to his shoulder, scattered on the table, and nearly 100 dishes were stable and proper, without a trace of overflow, and the kung fu was really good.

"Noble, all the food you ordered is ready, please use it slowly, the tea lady will come later." The little guy was smiling all over his face.

Huang Zhi took out a ten-piece of handover money and handed it over, "What I reward you in my family's office, you will divide it yourself." ”

Looking at the denomination, the little guy was pleasantly surprised, and his smile was even more sincere, "Thank you for the reward, the little ones wish the prince of the Yanei Wandai and a full house of happiness." ”

"Don't spare your mouth, let's all go down." Huang Yu couldn't help but didn't roll his eyes, what is the prince Wandai, our master is the one who wants to be the emperor.

Not long after the servants went out, there was a soft knock on the door of the private room, "Your honor, but do you need some tea here?" ”

The voice was clear and pleasant, like an empty valley orchid, as if a jade bead passed through Zhao Mengqi's heart.

"Please come in." Huang Wolf invited loudly.

The door was slowly pushed open, and a beautiful shadow floated in, like a bright moon shining all over the house.

Zhao Mengqi was in a trance, blinking his eyes and looking at him intently.

This little lady, tall and tall, wears a light blue full-breasted skirt, the light gauze skirt faintly reveals the white and tender crystal arms, and the delicate and beautiful fragrant shoulders, the dark blue ribbon passes through the armpits, and the flowing fluffy lower skirt is tied high on the chest.

The steps were moving lightly, like walking in the clouds, and the turbulent waves made Zhao Mengqi feel that the whole world was shaking.

The little lady swept her eyes slightly, and then came straight to Zhao Mengqi, turned sideways slightly, and a pair of soft wattles were folded on her waist, and she was blessed.

"Blessed to you, Wanwan is called to order tea, please command."

The voice was like a yellow bird, exhaling like an orchid, and as the words came out, the draped veil on her face swayed slightly.

Zhao Mengqi raised his head slightly and looked at the past.

I saw the scarf hanging on the bridge of the tall nose, revealing half of it, like a green onion like jade, a pair of peach blossom eyes, full of autumn water, and an ice crystal between the foreheads, but it was full of slaughter.

Zhao Mengqi seemed to have fallen into a dream, and muttered softly, "If life is only as ...... as first seen"

Wanwan was stunned when she heard this, and her eyes were full of surprise, "How do you know the name of the concubine!?" ”

"What's your name?" Zhao Mengqi's eyes were a little dazed.

Is it just a coincidence? Wanwan stared at it, and said tentatively, "What did the noble man just read?" ”

"Oh, a word."

"Words? The concubine has never heard of what the yamen did? But the Magnolia Flower Order? ”

Zhao Mengqi sneered, "I have a feeling for a while, and I occasionally get a sentence." ”

"Just one sentence? That's a pity......"

"Ahem, isn't the lady here for some tea?" Zhao Mengqi diverted the topic and covered up.

"Yikes!" Wanwan woke up in shock, almost forgetting what she was here for, "Your honor, forgive me, the concubine is rude." ”

"It's okay, please, lady."

Wanwan was blessed again, and then turned his head, "Set up the tea set." ”

Zhao Mengqi realized that there was a half-grown little girl behind the little lady, who was holding a tray, which was supposed to be Wanwan's exclusive utensils.

The tea case is on the opposite side of Zhao Mengqi's table, one foot apart, twisting the skirt, sitting with bent knees, placing the tea sets neatly one by one, and the movements are light and elegant.

The little girl was supposed to be her assistant, lit the charcoal stove and placed it on the side of the tea table.

Wanwan took out a water urn and poured water into the thin-necked porcelain bottle, "This water is taken from Hupao Spring, it is clear and sweet, and it is best to make tea." ”

After filling, she carried the porcelain bottle and placed it on the charcoal stove, and then took the tea, "This tea is Jingting, although it is not as good as dragon tea and phoenix tea, it is also the top grade of Beiyuan." ”

She put the tea ball into a stone bowl and gently mashed it, then took it out, put it in a stone mill, and grinded it into a powder, and then continued to sift it through a sieve, taking the finest tea powder and setting it aside.

After entering the state, Wanwan was completely forgetful, and she used boiling water to wash and preheat the blue-black tea cup while listening intently to the sound in the porcelain bottle.

When she hears that the water in the bottle is boiling for the second time, she removes it and puts the tea powder into the hot teacup.

After the boiling sound stopped, Wanwan lifted the porcelain bottle and poured it into the teacup, and the waterline dispersed mist, like a silver dragon in the clouds, rushing towards the teacup.

This is the tea ordering, the whole water filling process is divided into seven times, while the point is brewed with a bamboo tea whisk in the ring of the pot to stir, that is, the so-called 'whisk'.

During the whole process, Wanwan's movements were like dancing, which made Zhao Mengqi pleasing to the eye.

When the whisk was completed, Wanwan put the tea cup in the case, "Noble people and watch it." ”

Zhao Mengqi looked into the teacup, which was full of milky white foam, and then, Wanwan lifted the porcelain bottle with one hand to fill the water, and shook the teacup with the other.

I saw an orchid in the soup noodles, and then it disappeared after a while.

"This is, Tea Hundred Opera?" Zhao Mengqi exclaimed.

A light smile appeared at the corner of her eyes, "It's the tea drama that makes the nobles laugh." ”

Then she divided the tea soup into several small cups, got up, and offered it to Zhao Mengqi, "Your Excellency, please drink." ”

"Wait..."Huang Yu hurriedly spoke, "Little lady, can you let the contemptible people taste first?" ”

Zhao Mengqi glared at him, but he didn't stop it.

Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have thought of something, stabilized her mind, and moved the teacup in her hand to Huang You, "Guest officer, please." ”

"Thank you, little lady." Huang Zhi took it with a smile, and then drank it in one gulp like a cow chewing a peony, without tasting tea at all.

Wanwan turned a blind eye, took another lamp, placed it on Zhao Mengqi's case, and then retreated, "Noble, please use it slowly, the concubine will not be disturbed, and retire." ”

Zhao Mengqi's eyes flashed with reluctance, but he didn't keep it, "Thank you Wanwan Lady for offering tea, Huang Wolf, send Niangzi." ”

Huang Zhi sent Wanwan and the little girl to the corridor, and also took a hundred yuan and handed it to the little girl, "The lady's tea art makes my family very satisfied, and I will send a little money to show my heart." Then he turned and went back to his private room.

The little girl looked at the face value on the banknote in her hand, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it, "Lady, a hundred times, this guest is too extravagant, I've never seen such a big banknote, lady, take a look, it won't be fake, right?" ”

Wanwanwan pointed at the little girl's forehead, "Don't you dare to talk nonsense, using counterfeit money is to kill your head, put the money away." With that, he walked forward.

The little girl covered her forehead, stuck out her little tongue, and followed quickly, "Don't blame the lady, it's Yun Niang who has less knowledge, but those guests just now are so strange." ”

"It's so strange...", she paused, looking back at the private room, "If life is only as it was first seen...... Unfortunately, this person is probably too expensive, and he should not have the opportunity to hear the whole word in the future. ”
