The next morning.

Hearing that Song Che and they were going to Jiangning, Yun Niang got up before dawn and made a lot of pastries, cooked food, and light food for them, and asked them to take them to eat on the road.

Uncle Shen Fang also gave five hundred taels of silver as a coil.

"Hmm...... This flower cake is really delicious. ”

Shen Wenjun stood at the bow of the boat, nibbling on pastries with one hand and saying goodbye to relatives and friends on the dock with the other.

It seemed to be really delicious, and she even sucked the crumbs off her hands.

"Brother Song, this little chef's skills are really good, if you can marry her back home in the future, we won't have to worry about food every day."

Her eyes were wide open, so frank and urgent.

In order to facilitate travel, all three women changed into men's clothes and agreed that everyone would be called "brothers".

Find a cook to cook the food.

Find a woman to come and see the home.

Talk to two sisters.

In helping his husband take a concubine, waiting for a full house of children and grandchildren in the future, and being an "old lady" himself, Shen Wenjun can be described as extremely generous.

Song Che said bitterly: "I only have two bombs and a gun, aren't you afraid that one day, I will run out of ammunition?" ”

Shen Wenjun grinned, compared two fingers, playful and cunning, and said: "I will clean and maintain your gun every day, and it can be used for at least twenty years." ”

"Hiss......"

Song Che gasped.

When he came back from the southwest this time, he must find Jiang Yuntian to learn the Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation Technique.

……

Jiangning, also known as Jinling, is the capital of Jiangnan Road, the richest city in the south, and there is no one.

If Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the pearls on the canal, then Jiangning is the "pearl on the banks of the Qinhuai River", and it is the largest and brightest one.

On the fifth day of April, in the morning.

The passenger ship docked at the Jiangning Wharf.

Song Che spent a lot of money to buy a "four-horse drive" luxury carriage as a means of transportation for the next long journey.

Jiangning has a branch of the world's money village, and Shen Wenjun often comes here to communicate.

"Jiangning is also a splendid capital, the silk produced here is on a par with Suzhou and Hangzhou, especially their silk yarn and silk, which is better than Suzhou, but in terms of cloud brocade cloth, it is still better for us in Suzhou......"

Shen Wenjun talked about Jiangning's silk weaving industry while walking, she has always been very clear about the matter of splendor, and she can be praised in her mouth, Jiangning, Jiangning, is by no means a wasted name.

"In this way, Jiangning will also send people to participate in the Splendid Conference, right?" Song Che asked.

Qin Ruo hummed: "In fact, many cities in the south of the Yangtze River will send people to attend the meeting, including Chen Rencai, their Chen family, who went to five embroidery girls the year before last, all of whom are first-class skillful hands in Suzhou...... This year may be less, after all, the southwest is a multi-ethnic region, when it comes to Miaojiang people, everyone is very afraid, but like us, a century-old brand that has overcome obstacles for its reputation, will definitely go. ”

Shen Wenjun added: "The most famous splendid family in Jiangning is surnamed Wu, you don't have to believe it, Wu Shouxin, the young master of the Wu family, although he is a man, he is not inferior to any skilled woman in Jiangnan in terms of embroidery skills." ”

Man embroidery?

In fact, it is not impossible, who said that women are inferior to men, who said that men are inferior to women?

"Isn't it!"

Lin Yue, who was out in the car, suddenly put his head in and said in a surprised tone: "If you want to say that we women can still absorb the stool, he is a big man, sitting there motionless and embroidering, he is not afraid of backache and butt pain?" ”

The words are not rough, Song Che also has such a doubt in his heart.

"Brother Lin, you're ashamed again!" Qin Ruo blushed and glared at her.

Shen Wenjun also rolled his eyes, "Forget about deducting her salary." ”

"Hey, don't, don't," Lin Yue smiled: "I'm just curious, oops...... I'm a layman in this embroidery, I don't know much about it, you still tell me what is delicious in this Jiangning City, my stomach is already croaking. ”

Qin Ruo and Shen Wenjun glanced at each other, and spit out two words in unison:

"Duck!"

Roast duck, plate duck, sauce duck, braised duck......

As long as it is with the duck, Jiangning has a must.

If you want to ask where to eat duck, it must be the riverside "Suyunzhai".

"Every time there are guys who come back from Jiangning, I have to call them to Suyunzhai and bring a few ducks back, but unfortunately they are not just out of the pot, and the meat has changed when they are brought home."

It seems to be really delicious, Shen Wenjun just arrived at the door, and when he smelled the fragrance, he was already hungry.

And behold, at the door, there was a yellow list notice, on which it was written:

"Su Yunzhai asks for poetry, which is related to 'duck', if you can be selected on the list, you can have a free meal."

The banks of the Qinhuai River were originally a gathering place for literati and artists, and Jiangning was also a very poetic city, and even eating a duck had to be a poem.

Now, isn't this a free meal coupon?

"Brother Song is only eight fights high, and his exit is a chapter, why not come and give this color a try?" Shen Wenjun said with a smile.

Song Che spread his hands: "It's too simple, I'll chant poetry, you can write it." ”

Shen Wenjun folded his sleeves, held the pen, and dotted the ink.

Song Che shook his head and chanted softly: "Duck duck duck, song to the sky, white hair floating in green water, red anthurium plucking clear waves." ”

Originally, it was "goose goose goose", but this duck and goose don't seem to be much different, so they are applied.

"With this poem alone, you will definitely be able to get a lunch."

Shen Wenjun strode into Suyunzhai with the poem, and pressed it on the counter: "Boss Lu, you appreciate this poem!" ”

Behind the counter, a middle-aged fat man with a fat body picked up the psalm and recited it twice, and couldn't bear to applaud:

"Good poetry, good poetry!"

Many diners who like literary style can't help but praise:

This first sentence is sung repeatedly, and the second sentence is intended to describe the demeanor of a duck, giving people the feeling of sound in the ears; This third pair of dual sentences, up and down opposite, back and forth, moving and static, wonderful and endless! ”

"This poem seems to be popular, sung casually like a child, and the artistic conception is excellent when you taste it carefully, just like the sauce board duck in my hand, the mouth is fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless!"

"Which protégé is this brother, who writes such good poetry, come on, let's share a seat and have a drink or two?"

"Hey, I actually heard this poem by chance, not my original, just to ask for lunch." Song Che waved his hand to refuse the guests' kindness, and asked the boss with a smile:

"Shopkeeper, what do you think?"

"No matter what, if I hear this poem today, then it will have to be on the yellow list, and then you will be able to eat and drink to your heart's content!"

The shopkeeper called the bookkeeper to copy the list and greeted him loudly:

"Four distinguished guests, please go up to the second floor!"

The young man led Song Che and the others upstairs.

The second floor is near the window, looking at the riverside, the passenger ships are moving back and forth, coming and going, a scene of atmospheric prosperity.

Song Che picked the best position and was about to sit down, but Xiao Er greeted:

"Hey, guest officer, you can't sit in this position, let's move to the back, there is still a good scenery to see."

"Oh?" Song Che was a little puzzled: "Isn't this position vacant?" Why can't you sit again? ”

Xiao Er smiled and said: "You are strangers who don't know anything, this seat has been occupied by Lu Gongzi of Jiangning Mansion for a long time, and ordinary people can't sit on it." ”

"And what if we sit down?" Lin Yue asked.

Xiao Er said bitterly: "Last time, because there was a hair on the table, I was slapped hard, if he saw someone occupying a seat, not to mention what to do with you, I would definitely not be able to eat and walk away......"
