There are several pools and pavilions inside, a few precious flowers and trees and a large meadow, at this time the spring is in full bloom, and the grass is green. The restaurant and the inn were only a few hundred paces away, and the two of them walked away, followed by a few of the little men who sang the ode to me.

At this time, it was already two o'clock, the sky was getting dark, and the street vendors and shops were holding lanterns. There are a few small guys outside the door of the wine shop to welcome the send-off, seeing the ram sing my group to come, a small guy hurriedly ran in, a small guy hurriedly greeted him, and said respectfully, "The prince of the ram, the honored guest is coming, please come with the little one." "With that, lead the way ahead.

"The son of the ram, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins and forgive your sins!" a tall man in gorgeous clothes, about forty years old, walked over quickly and greeted him.

"Boss Xu, business is good!" said the ram laughed at me. "Hehe, that's also a meal for a distinguished guest like the prince!" replied with a smile from the tall man in gorgeous clothes.

The ram praised me and pointed at Mei Yuanchen with his head and said, "This is the son of Master Mei, the political secretary of Anxian Salt." "But anyone who has a little involvement in political affairs will know, An Xianyan Zhengsi is a first-class official position, a tall man in Chinese clothes has lived in the capital for a long time, and he is doing a living of entertaining and feasting, and he is naturally familiar with this official Tao, and when he heard it, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mei Gongzi, rare guests!" After the tall man in Chinese clothes finished speaking, he pointed to him and said, "This is the owner of this restaurant, Xu Yigong." Mei Yuanchen replied, "Boss Xu, hello." Xu Qigong led the two of them to the inside.

"The prince of the ram, Mr. Mei, what kind of room do you want?" Walking to the bottom of the restaurant corridor, Xu Qigong asked with a smile.

The ram praised me and looked at Mei Yuanchen, casting a look of discussion, Mei Yuanchen waved his hand and said, "Praise me, you just decide." The ram nodded to me, "It's fine." Then the Lanyue Pavilion on the top floor. The last sentence was said to Xu Qigong. Xu Qigong smiled and agreed, "I'll guide the two of you." ”

The southern restaurant is connected by five towers by four corridors inside and outside, and the middle one is called "Gou Chen", with a total of five floors, and the building is more than seven zhang high, which is the shape of the gossip cage. "Gou Chen" four corners are divided into four star buildings, the east building is named Xuanyuan, the north building is named Di Lu, the south building is the lance Zhai, the west building is called the crane platform, the fourth floor is like twin copy carving, all three floors are about four zhang eight, its shape is like a goose's paw.

The three of them walked along the stairs, all the way to the top floor, only to see a plaque hanging at the door of the last wing of the corridor, and the three vigorous characters of "Lanyue Pavilion" were clearly visible under the illumination of the lights.

"Two distinguished guests, please!" After speaking, he gently pushed open the door and led the two inside. The display in the wing room is simple, only one or two small tables, one for each servant and a maidservant, two maidservants pulled out the red sandalwood chair, and said in a clear voice, "Please sit down!" The two were done, and the maid set up the tea set for the two of them, and even a cup of hot tea.

"This tea is good, called "Spring does not stay", it is a unique famous tea in Xiahe County, taste a cup first. The ram said. Mei Yuanchen has never been particular about drinking tea, but now that he has come to eat, he will taste it carefully. "Well, it's really not bad!" This tea is slightly sweet and refreshing, with a slight aftertaste, which is very suitable for Mei Yuanchen's spleen and stomach, and he can't help but praise. "Haha, that's natural!" said the ram to me.

"Two honored guests, here is a recipe, please take a look!" The two maidservants each held a booklet to pay tribute to the two. Mei Yuanchen smiled, "Praise me, I can do whatever you like!"

"Haha, okay! You grew up in Qingxi, I grew up in Cangsheng since I was a child, the two counties stretch for hundreds of miles, the folk customs are almost the same, and the food and dishes are not far apart, but we have to see if you and I have different tastes. The ram laughed at me, "Crispy moss, drunken blue snapper,"

"What's the matter? Is the building of the 'Southland Restaurant' in good condition?" said the Ram as soon as I walked into the fence of the restaurant, and the ram said to me.

Mei Yuanchen felt quite familiar when he first saw this restaurant, and when he took a closer look, he saw that the relief pattern on the railing of the restaurant was five or six points similar to the pattern in the mansion of his hometown in Sanshui Prefecture, Qingxi County, and immediately replied, "These reliefs are quite similar to the reliefs in my hometown." ”

"Haha! That's natural! The relief master of this building may be from Qingxi. The ram smiled at me, "I opened this restaurant last year." Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and thought, "I am only twenty-four years old this year, and I can open such a big restaurant in the capital."
