Chapter 55: Huai'an's Famous Dishes

At this moment, from the riverside came the sound of horses' hooves, "get ......", there were two people riding horses, one was a splendid son, holding a folding fan, it was to the Taihang Mountains to celebrate his birthday, and Leng Yuhu joined forces to kill the first Bai Guanghua, Leng Yuhu fled south, and helped intercept the pursuing soldiers Yuan Chuanhua, I don't know why he went to the capital, why did he come to the small river outside Huai'an in the middle of the night? The other is naturally his maidservant Xiaohuai.

The two rode to the front, and Leng Yuhu shouted, "Hurry up and help." Then Yuan Gongzi jumped off the horse, picked up the long sword and stabbed at Bai Guanghua. That Bai Guanghua knew the power of Yuan Gongzi's "Falling Flower Sword Technique", and with one against two, he was naturally invincible. This Bai Guanghua is over sixty years old, not brave enough to be brave, he wants to turn around and escape, looking at Zhao Yu, under the reflection of the moonlight, like a delicate flower in the water, extraordinarily beautiful, reluctant to give up, want to kidnap her and escape, just about to do it, suddenly felt that the two long swords behind his back have reached the back of the heart, so he had to give up the beauty and escape.

Leng Yuhu felt that he was fighting with another master in the capital, so as to avoid being attacked in the abdomen and back, and stabbed the canal gang leader to death, so he no longer pursued him. That Yuan Gongzi saw that Leng Yuhu didn't chase after him, and he couldn't help but stop.

Leng Yuhu clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Yuan Gongzi for saving your life!" This naturally refers to his interception of the pursuers outside the capital, and without waiting for him to answer, Leng Yuhu continued to ask: "When did Yuan Gongzi leave the capital?

That Yuan Gongzi looked at Leng Yuhu, and he didn't know which question to answer him for a while.

Leng Yuhu understood, knowing that he had turned into a big beard, the other party couldn't recognize it, laughed, and said, "I'm Leng Yuhu." ”

That Yuan Gongzi understood and said happily: "I didn't expect to meet you here." He immediately stretched out his hand to shake Leng Yuhu's hands and asked, "How did you get out of danger? Are all your injuries healed? Look at your fight tonight, but everything is fine." You killed Yan Ergongzi, but you really admired the little brother very much, you are a big hero admired by everyone in the world. By the way, how did you get after this negation leader? Didn't we kill the leader? Is it a twin leader?"

Yuan Gongzi took Leng Yuhu's hand and kept asking excitedly, which made Leng Yuhu not know which question to answer.

Leng Yuhu remembered that the matter of the Canal Gang was still over, and said, "Let's hurry up and go to the Canal Gang." ”

So, Zhao Yu rode on Yuan Gongzi's horse, Leng Yuhu and Yuan Gongzi walked, and a group of four people rushed to the headquarters of the Canal Gang. When he came to the headquarters compound, the person who stabbed to death Deputy Gang Leader Liu hadn't woken up yet, it turned out that Leng Yuhu and Bai Guanghua's killing, although he had fought seventy or eighty moves, was only a short time, and that person naturally hadn't woken up yet. Leng Yuhu tied him to the pillar, and more than a dozen gangs of the Canal Gang had already arrived, Leng Yuhu handed this person over to these gangs and told them to ask him, naturally everything was understood, and let them do a good job of dealing with the aftermath. After Leng Yuhu finished explaining, he went into the room and took his package and walked out.

A group of four people came to a hill, standing on the hillside, the night wind was blowing, and Leng Yuhu told Yuan Chuanhua in detail about his escape all the way. Yuan Chuanhua then said that he went to Beijing to play, and when he found out about all kinds of evil things about the leader of the Negative Hexagram Sect, he had the heart to hunt down and kill Bai Guanghua and eliminate harm for the people. This Bai Guanghua was forced, and he also fled all the way south, Yuan Gongzi chased after him, and this Bai Guanghua fled to Huai'an Mansion. That night, he saw the fire in the wilderness, and when he knew that something had happened, he rushed to see the excitement. When he arrived, he saw that Zhao Yu, who was held hostage by the gang leader, was as beautiful as a flower, and he was tempted to kill the gang leader with a sword, and fled after taking Zhao Yu. And Yuan Gongzi chased Bai Guanghua to Huai'an, stayed on the boat at night, heard the sound of swords, and hurriedly rode a horse to chase over, not wanting to be Bai Guanghua who he was chasing and killing.

Yuan Gongzi said with a smile: "This Sect Leader Bai Guanghua must be a twin. ”

Leng Yuhu also smiled: "He's a triplet." "Speaking of killing one at the foot of Taihang Mountain and killing one in Sweeping Leaf Villa, this one is estimated to be the boss at large, and he has the highest martial arts. In fact, they don't know that the first one is a stand-in, and the remaining two are twins. This Bai Guanghua is indeed the boss, he created the Negative Hexagram Sect, and the stand-in handles daily affairs in the sect, while he wanders all over the place, abducting beautiful women, and practicing his evil martial arts of collecting yin and supplementing yang.

Old friends met, sympathized with each other, there were endless words, and finally saw that the sky was not bright, Yuan Gongzi said: "My boat is docked by the river, or let Miss Zhao go to the boat to sleep first and rest." ”

A group of four people walked towards the small river, and saw Yuan Gongzi's boat parked under the willow tree from a distance, where was the small boat, it was a luxury boat. The four of them approached, the boat board was still on the shore, led the horse, helped Zhao Yu, and walked onto the big boat. Zhao Yu and Xiaohuai slept on the bed again. Leng Yuhu and Yuan Gongzi were naturally so excited that they couldn't sleep, and the two of them talked together at night, and you talked about me until dawn.

Leng Yuhu also said that he escorted Zhao Yu to Yangzhou, and Yuan Gongzi said: "I also passed through Yangzhou, let's go together." ”

The two have decided to take a nap and wait until they wake up, and the sky is bright. Pushing the window and looking, a yellow bird landed on the willow tree and kept singing, the two couldn't bear to disturb, sat motionless, listened to the yellow bird's singing, coquettish and tactful, sang for a while, and flew away with a "flutter".

Yuan Gongzi shouted to start the boat, several boats were busy rowing oars, and the big boat went down the river and came to the outside of Huai'an Mansion.

The four of them went ashore and entered the city. Huai'an is one of the eight major banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, the Caoyun Governor's Mansion is located here, the shore is lined with wind trees, the city is densely populated, and it is really very prosperous and lively. The four of them found a restaurant with an upstairs to eat. This Huai'an is a passage between the north and the south, where dishes from all over the world converge. Yuan Gongzi has several distinctive Huai'an famous dishes, including soft long fish, white cannon shrimp, Leng Yuhu watched Zhao Yu move a few chopsticks, it can be seen that the taste is indeed extraordinary. There are also two pots of side dishes, one is Qingong meatballs and the other is Pingqiao tofu. Leng Yuhu picked up a meatball and asked, "What's so peculiar about this round meatball?"

Yuan Gongzi said: "Don't look at it very ordinary. There is a folk song that says: Qin Gong's meat balls are thrown over the wall, picked up and are still round and light, fall on the ground and jump a few times, and eat until the mouth is tender and fragrant. ”

Leng Yuhu put it in his mouth and chewed it, and it was really tender and fragrant.

The guy in the store stretched out a spoon and scooped a few spoonfuls of tofu soup into the bowl for the guests. Leng Yuhu tasted it with his mouth, it was a little hot, and he needed to taste it slowly, and it was tender and refreshing.

At the end of the table is a pot of soup dumplings. Leng Yuhu looked at this thin and translucent dough, how could he hold it in his hand? It was so small, couldn't he eat four or five in one bite? He didn't dare to act rashly, looking at the way the three of them ate, instead of eating the thin dough on the outside, he first used his mouth to bite a small bite on the top of the soup bag, and then sucked the soup inside the soup bag. Leng Yuhu understood it, and ate it as well, and sure enough, the soup inside was delicious, and I don't know what raw materials this soup was made of. Leng Yuhu thought: "Fortunately, I'm not so reckless, or I'll be ugly." Then he thought to himself: "If you have the opportunity to come to Huai'an in the future, you must bring Cui Mei and let her taste it." It's a pity that this soup bag is so expensive, otherwise I would have brought a few back to Cui Mei. ”

After eating, the four of them sat by the window, looking at the scenery downstairs, Huai'an is close to Jiangnan, and also brought the habits of Jiangnan, people walk on the long street, smiling, polite, and speaking softly.

In the evening, I found a big hotel to stay in. I got up the next day, had breakfast, got on Yuan Gongzi's big boat, and headed for Yangzhou along the canal.

Yuan Gongzi stood at the bow of the boat, gently shaking the folding fan, and sure enough, it was a jade tree in the wind, rich and chic. Leng Yuhu quietly stuffed his folding fan into his baggage. This Yuan Gongzi is an official eunuch family, full of poetry and books, and does not stick to details, talking about Tang poetry and Song poetry with Zhao Yu, and even Leng Yuhu feels that what he talks about is quite insightful. The two talked about poetry, and their faces were happy. Leng Yuhu stuffed "Li Taibai Collection" into the baggage again.

Leng Yuhu walked to the stern of the boat depressedly, thinking: "What kind of bet am I betting with him, I haven't practiced swords for dozens of days, and I'm afraid my swordsmanship is also unfamiliar, so I'll still practice swords." So he went into the cabin, took out his sword, and drew it at the stern. The two gangs of grievances and vendettas I have seen in the past few days, the gang leader's heart is ruthless, the mechanism is exhausted, and he has a new understanding of life, and he has applied it to swordsmanship, and he has made new progress in swordsmanship. Therefore, Leng Yuhu kept swinging his long sword at the stern of the boat, and he was not lonely.

It's not just a day. On this day, you can already see the high walls of Yangzhou City.
