Chapter 1: The Boy Here Section 6: A Brief Narrative of the Spring Breeze Building
"Yo, two guest officers, please. There are two people in the box upstairs," the little two shouted effortlessly. looked at the limping old man, with a young man who looked like a scholar. With Xiao Er's experience, he naturally knows that that the old man is the gold master he should serve.
Originally, Xu Jinsong was supported by Li Chengjie, but Xiao Er came over and grabbed his place, helped Xu Jinsong, and led Li Chengjie to the box on the second floor.
Xu Jinsong sat down with a smile, he was also very comfortable to be served, and he was not stingy, so he casually threw out a few ingots of silver and gave it to the little two. Xiao Er was happy with the money, for fear that the master would regret it, so he quickly retreated after taking it, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, the menu will come soon." I'll go make a pot of tea for the two of you first. ”
Li Chengjie also sat down by himself and asked, "Master Xu." You haven't stopped all this way, what can you calculate?"
Xu Jinsong was also happy, "I didn't expect Xie Yuanlang to have a good eye, but this insight is also a top quality." There may be a few more big names in the imperial examination this year. ”
"Two guest officers, tea is here. This is the menu of our restaurant, so let's see what you can eat. As soon as Xiao Er stretched out his hand, he handed the menu to the rich master. But I never thought that the host of tonight's banquet for these two people was the scholar who couldn't look at it.
Xu Jinsong took the recipe, didn't look at it, put it on the table and said: "A pot of your strongest wine here, one flying in the sky, one running on the ground, and one swimming in the water, two chickens, one male and one female, two methods, five flavors." I want the freshest lotus root to make a cold dish, and add two servings of Bawang egg custard. ”
Xiao Er listened to the old man's order, and the more he listened, the happier he became. The dishes in our Chunfeng Building are inexhaustible in the recipes, and the dishes on the recipes are all "the common meals of the rich and noble". The more tricky, eccentric, and delicate they are, the more they like to do it. Because, the price of this dish is not on their menu. Once they have made it, they can put their own price.
At this time, Li Chengjie spoke: "Xiao Er, add deer antler ganoderma lucidum and elixir grass to us, pear blossoms and begonias in four seasons." The water should be taken from the southeast Tianhe water, and the firewood should be used from the northwest purple Lingmu. Add me another 100-year-old soup. ”
Xiao Er listened and thought, I'm afraid this scholar is crazy, what are you talking about?
Li Chengjie gently put the ten taels of gold in his hand on the table and said: If you don't understand, just say it to you, the person in charge. Go for it. By the way, I'm giving us a pot of spring breeze tea.
Xiao Er was afraid that he had never seen so much money in his life, so he hurriedly took the gold down.
"Xie Yuanlang is so tasteful," Xu Jinsong listened to this, and Li Chengjie's order was also extraordinary. There are not many things that can interest him these years, and this Li Chengjie can be regarded as a wonderful person.
Master Xu smiled. Today, I am the east, how can I only invite the old man to eat those mortal products?"
After a while, Xiao Er brought spring breeze tea, but not one pot, but two pots. Because Xiao Er knew that the strongest wine in our store was not a hand-me-down wine, but their exclusive spring breeze tea.
"Xie Yuanlang, let's have a drink" Xu Jinsong filled a cup first.
Li Chengjie also filled a glass, sniffed the wine and said: "The spring breeze blows all things, and the spring breeze is the most intoxicating." The spring breeze into the tea is wine, and suddenly you fall into a dream and get drunk. Master Xu, how are you drunk in your dreams?"
"Xie Yuanlang, I am still not satisfied with drinking, and I dream of this bright future. Xu Jinsong looks like a greedy person who has a lot of cups.
After a while, the two of them emptied the flask. The final clinking of glasses was exceptionally crisp.
Li Chengjie was also in this drunkenness and saw what he wanted to see. Slowly got up, arched his hand and said: Thank you Master Xu for solving your doubts.
"The sky is ruthless and has a way, and all the immortals have forgotten their roots. Life is a lifetime, how can it be called desolate? Student Li Chengjie, please teach me!" Outside the door, Xiao Er was about to serve food, listening to the scholar's words, and when he heard it, he drank too much wine and talked nonsense.
"Xiao Er, I haven't served food yet, my lord, I'm hungry. Xu Jinsong also got up, reached out and patted Li Cheng's masterpiece's hand, and motioned for him to sit down.
Xiao Er came in and filled a table full of delicacies. Smelling the smell, he himself was intoxicated, but it was a pity that his life was so thin, I am afraid that he will not be blessed with any dish in his life.
Li Chengjie smelled the smell and shook his head, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and couldn't help but think that his family had told him that the spring breeze tea was good, not to drink it urgently, not to drink it full, but to taste it carefully.
"Xie Yuanlang, the dishes are ready, my stomach is not angry, how about we move the chopsticks?" Xu Jinsong may be really hungry at this time. After all, he has just recovered from a serious illness.
"Naturally, naturally. This delicacy is in front, and it is not a desecration of food to let it cool. Master Xu, please. Obviously, Li Chengjie forgot what he just said, and he can't recall the dream he had. He ate over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. With his physique, after drinking a pot of equinox tea, it was a forgetful trip. On the other hand, this old man, both of them drank a pot, but the reaction was not strong. It's really like drinking a jug of wine.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, these two people have eaten almost enough. Especially the Wang Ba soup, it is really delicious, and I see that both of them want to eat the plate. In fact, that hundred-year-old soup is Wang Ba soup, also known as turtle soup. Chunfeng Lou's most characteristic tonic soup.
"Master Xu, Cheng Jie has something to ask for"
"Oh, Xie Yuanlang, could it be that this is a Hongmen banquet?"
"Hahaha, Master Xu laughed. Although you and I know each other today, Mr. Guan is also an extraordinary person. If Master Xu cares about age and can't be different from my brother, I would like to worship Mr. as a teacher. Li Chengjie's tone was sincere, and the expression on his face was even more sincere.
If this is from the perspective of outsiders, how can Xu Jinsong He De be this, Xie Yuanlang's master?
Xu Jinsong also questioned: "Xie Yuanlang, is this wine not awake yet?" You try Xie Yuan, and you are expected to enter the department if you try to do it, and I am afraid that there will be a chance for the top three in this palace test." Why bother to worship me as a lame man, I'm afraid it will insult Xie Yuanlang's reputation in the future. ”
"Student Cheng Jie, I would like to worship Mr. as a teacher, and please ask Mr. to teach him in the future. Li Chengjie bowed his hand and bowed goodbye.
As everyone knows, giving up is a kind of etiquette. Moreover, there is an unwritten saying that the three bows are like an oath.
