Although this Zhuangzi is not the Zhuangzi that He Louyuan took Ling Xiaorou to, it is larger than the Zhuangzi in terms of scale, but the scenery is still not as good as the Zhuangzi that He Louyuan has carefully repaired, but compared to the Jiang Mengguo that has just recovered from the war and has not been completely rebuilt, the Zhuangzi is already exquisite.

There is even a pond built by the river, in which a lot of ornamental lotus is planted, and the fish raised in the pond are the size of a palm, as long as they are caught, they can also ask the people on the Zhuangzi to make dishes.

The envoys had just eaten, and although they didn't really want to eat fish, this kind of activity was really fun, and the fish they caught Zhuangzi also said that they only charged a little money for labor, which should not be very expensive, and adding a dish at night would not be slaughtered too much.

As a result, the envoys, who had worked hard for dinner, sat on the edge of the pond and caught a fish with a rod, not to mention, I don't know if the fish in the pond had been hungry for too long, or if the bait was really good, in short, the fish bit the hook one after another, and as soon as they caught it, many fish came around, so that before the envoys could react, there was one more fish on the hook.

Soon the buckets placed next to the envoys were full, and the envoys were so happy, they all felt that they still had a lot of fun in Dayan and would like to play, it is said that this kind of play is quite popular in Dayan country, especially in the capital, there is no money, and they are willing to go to the Zhuangzi that receives guests everywhere to play, and when they go back to Jiangmengguo, do you want to get some such games?

It's just that when they think that even if they build Zhuangzi, they don't have the food of the Great Yan Kingdom, just like the most famous barbecue in the Zhuangzi of the Great Yan Kingdom, they definitely can't learn it, and they don't like the Zhuangzi, but it is obvious that they can earn a good income just by fishing.

Of course, if you want to really have fun, eat well, and swim well, you still have to be in Dayan, Jiangmeng Kingdom has gone through a hundred years of turmoil, and it must not have the pleasant scenery of Dayan Country.

As a result, when the fishing is all fun, the tour guide came to count, each person at least ten or twenty fish, these fish are two taels of silver, a small one or two silver, although each person is only twenty taels, but the envoy group is many, large and small more than 50 people, just fishing for an afternoon of fish will cost another thousand taels, if this is to buy fish, how big and how big do you have to buy?

Fortunately, the steward of Zhuangzi looked at the fish, and finally said very angrily: "Your envoys have caught so many fish, since this is the case, we Zhuangzi will cook the fish for you for free, and we will not accept your silver." ”

The envoys felt that they had finally heard a good news, and seeing that dinner was about to come, Wen Xiangrong decided, "Thank you for the good intentions of the steward, I will eat fish after dinner." ”

The steward frowned, "Don't you want to order something else?" ”

Wen Xiangrong looked calm, "There are too many fish, and it's not good to waste it, so let's eat fish!" ”

"My lord is really a thrifty and good official, and if this is the case, I will let people make fish." The steward nodded, but the words that came out were unintelligible whether they were praise or derogation.

The steward asked people to carry the fish to the kitchen, and after a burst of the smell of stir-frying vegetables and the sound of pots and spoons colliding, a plate of fish was brought out, smelling the fresh fragrance, but not feeling the fishy smell of all kinds of fish and vegetables, Jiang Mengguo's officials endured very hard, so as not to make people feel that Jiang Mengguo's envoys were all starving ghosts reincarnated.

It wasn't until the people who waited for the food to deliver the food went down, and the tour guide and steward also left, that the Jiangmeng envoy frequently moved his chopsticks to the fish with his rice bowl, and he really didn't understand how other people's fish were made, and it was so delicious.

Think about the lunch meal of 50,000 taels, but this meal only cost more than 1,000 taels, although it is still ridiculously expensive compared to the fish eaten on weekdays, but it is really delicious, and this meal is really worth it.

Moreover, even if each person eats three fish per meal, the remaining fish is enough to eat for about two days, and the thought of eating for the next two days without any money, they really think that it is a good idea to go fishing again, and besides, the fish is so delicious that they can't stop, even if they keep eating it in the future, they won't get tired of it.

After dinner, the envoys sat in the room and reminisced, it seems that as long as they are not as stupid as the first meal, they will not be slaughtered very badly, do you want to try other dishes? Like the famous hot pot in Dayan Kingdom, roast whole sheep...... Because the raw materials are ordinary, even if they are expensive, they will not be so outrageously expensive.

So, the envoys who had just eaten a cheap fish feast were moved again, when the steward came to ask whether to eat fish fillet porridge tomorrow, or eat fish dumplings, Wen Xiangrong proposed to add some lighter side dishes, in order not to be slaughtered again, Wen Xiangrong repeatedly emphasized the word light, and the steward listened for a long time and suddenly said, "Light? I know, I know, tomorrow's breakfast will be light. ”

After eating comfortably and having a good night's sleep, the envoys looked quite good when they got up, but when they saw this table of porridge and side dishes, they really felt that they couldn't get better, they were afraid of being slaughtered again, they said that they wanted to eat something light, but this was too light.

There are four large bowls on each table, and there are four kinds of porridge in the big bowls, pumpkin porridge, corn porridge, mung bean porridge, and a bowl of white porridge, in addition to the porridge, there are four side dishes on each table, cold shredded potatoes, mixed tofu cubes, sour and hot radish strips, and a simple cucumber and shallot, that is, the bowl of meat sauce placed next to it looks like meat. And there are small pieces of black on the tofu that I can't see what they are, is this something that can be eaten?

The staple food is a flower roll made of white flour, but this flower roll is not as white as the usual food, and it is decorated with a few green onions.

The envoys' faces were full of black lines, they were afraid of being slaughtered, but such a light breakfast really made people lose their appetite when they looked at it.

But the meals are all laid out, you have to eat if you don't eat, and then let the light ones not know how much it will cost, the envoys sat down, each of them served a bowl of porridge, originally thinking of dealing with a few bites casually, but it was a big deal to continue to eat fish at noon.

As a result, I took a bite of cold shredded potatoes with sweet porridge, and immediately felt very different from what I usually eat, the sweet and sour ones were really appetizing, not to mention the sour and hot radish strips, crispy and crispy, and I don't know how to pickle them.

The most common cucumbers and green onions, dipped in that bowl of flavorful sauce, 'click' to eat one bite and want to eat the second bite.

The tofu that they didn't look at, as soon as they put it in their mouths, the inexplicable fragrance overflowed their mouths, and after tasting it carefully, they realized that it was the taste of those black little pieces in the tofu, and I didn't know what the little pieces were.

In short, the porridge is also sweet, the vegetables are also refreshing, and it is called oil and salt rolls, and it is very delicious just by eating.

A breakfast that was not much to look forward to was quickly eaten, and the envoys were still a little unsatisfied, so they called the steward to ask, and it turned out that the small black pieces put in the tofu were duck eggs of five taels of silver, which were called preserved eggs by the Dayan people.

Finally saw the demeanor of duck eggs for five taels of silver, and the officials felt that this way of eating was actually quite economical, and it took less than 100 taels for five tables to calculate a breakfast, compared to 50,000 taels for the first meal and 1,000 taels for the second meal, this meal was completely trivial.

Of course, some people have calculated, if one hundred taels only eats porridge and rolls, one person may not be able to eat them all in his life, but at this time, in this kind of place, one hundred taels is too cheap for these people, and each person is only two taels of silver.

But after thinking about it, two taels of silver to drink porridge and eat side dishes, and then eat a few rolls, it seems that he was still slaughtered?

After breakfast, the tour guide has to arrange today's itinerary, since he only earns a commission, of course, he will not let these guests be too idle, let them eat and have fun, and then spend a lot of money, he can also save more money to marry a wife.

Although yesterday's fishing was not very enjoyable, the fish that could be caught was enough to eat for a long time, and fishing was really expensive, so these officials did not think about fishing anymore, but decided to go rafting and collecting lotus with the introduction of the tour guide.

It is said that in Dayan Kingdom, lotus flowers are also very delicious food, Princess Ningyuan is said to love fried lotus tweed very much, they have long called the name of Princess Ningyuan, the food of Dayan Kingdom can be so developed, it is also inseparable from this princess, since the princess loves to eat, it must be really delicious.

The envoys decided to go on a boat to pick lotus today, and the lotus flowers they picked could also be fried and eaten by the chef in the Zhuangzi.

It's just that, of course, boats are hired for rafting, and of course it costs money to hire boats, and looking at the river with more than 20 boats ranging from large to small, the envoys hesitated, whether to hire two large boats for everyone to sit together, or to hire a few more small boats, at most one boat to seat three or five people?

As a result, after asking about the price of a large boat is more than ten times that of a small boat, they still decided to build a small boat for three or five people, such a small boat is flexible enough, and it is fun to shuttle between lotus flowers.

Moreover, the people who support the boat are all young girls, it is the age of youth and liveliness, although they are only delicate, but they are more pleasing to the eye than the reckless men who hold the boat.

The boat rowed out from the shore, smelling the shallow lotus fragrance, drinking the tea prepared on the boat, and eating a few refreshments, Wen Xiangrong was in a better mood.

The burden of this envoy to Dayan Kingdom is actually very heavy, especially he didn't think that he would be dismounted by someone before he stood on the land of Dayan Kingdom, although he is now in Weicheng Mansion, but his identity is not exactly an envoy of Jiangmeng, but just an ordinary tourist, which makes him doubt that he can bring Feng Wu and others back smoothly this time.

However, since he can stand on the land of Dayan, in addition to being slaughtered some silver, he has not been embarrassed, even if the trip to Dayan Country is not so smooth, he will not be embarrassed too much, right?

Looking at the rowing girl, Wen Xiangrong smiled warmly, "The little girl has been holding the boat on the Zhuangzi? ”

The girl glanced at Wen Xiangrong, nodded, and said with a smile that enthusiasm was more helpless.

In Wen Xiangrong's eyes, she was a girl who was running around for a living, which was very sympathetic, so she said: "I don't see that there are many guests in the Zhuangzi, and it is very hard to come to support the boat, and I can't make much silver." ”

When the girl heard this, the smile on her face suddenly collapsed, "Alas, there were originally a lot of guests on the Zhuangzi, and the guests were also very generous, if you meet a guest who likes to listen to small songs, drinking a few songs is more than holding a boat, but this time Zhuangzi in order to receive the envoys, other guests are blocked, and we have nothing to earn." ”

After speaking, he glanced at Wen Xiangrong with a lot of resentment, "The guests still don't like to listen to music, and this trip to the boat won't make a lot of money, which is much worse than in the past." ”
