Hong's father, Wang Zhiming, carefully looked at this kid standing in front of him with a bad stomach; the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he saw that Li Guo had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a tall body, although he was not very old, he also had strange bones and a dignified appearance, especially those big restless eyes, looking at himself dripping and turning, obviously he was thinking something.

He saw the eyes of his junior brother looking at him, Wang Zhi obviously knew what it meant, but he still hesitated for a while before nodding. Li Dashan had already seen what was going on, he looked at his stupid son from the side and didn't say a word, just poured wine and cloth dishes for Wang Zhiming and Luo Jiaotou.

In addition to the two pots of hot Huadiao, a few side dishes were already on the table, a plate of broad beans, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of dried tofu, and a few cut salted eggs.

He said apologetically to Wang Zhiming: "In the countryside, the food is vulgar and there is nothing to drink, and I hope that the virtuous brother is not strange." ”

Wang Zhiming smiled indifferently: "Where did my brother come from, it's good to have wine here!" He didn't wait for the follow-up wine and food to be served, and started again on his own.

Li Dashanren nodded and looked at his heroic brother-in-law, he looked at Luo Jiaotou again, thinking about how he was going to pierce this layer of window paper.

At this time, the kitchen put the other prepared cold dishes on the table like a flowing stream, and Luo Jiao saw that it was a plate of dried bamboo shoots, a plate of vegetarian ham, a plate of smoked fish roe, dried dried curd, wind-deflated vegetables and fried three fruits in sauce.

Luo Jiaotou is also a lover of wine, he picked up his cup and drank it all. I touched my beard and said to my senior brother with a smile, "The proprietor has spent so much money to entertain my senior brother, which shows that it is a hero's sympathy!"

Wang Dashan raised his glass and persuaded, "My brother and I hit it off at first sight, and it also reflected the scene of Luo Jiao's mouth pity, and I hope not to dislike the good of the wine and food." ”

Wang Zhiming also laughed and said, "Brother Tai said this, but he made fun of the younger brother, although I slept in the game rivers and lakes, I also know that I am in the name of bamboo shoots......"

Luo Jiaotou knew that Senior Brother was arrogant and arrogant, and he treated himself sincerely, but he really didn't see who he called like this. So he smiled and drank the warm flower carving on the side, listening to the senior brother talking to Wang Dashanren.

Wang Zhiming poured wine for Li and Luo, poured another cup himself, drank it dry, and said, "The younger brother used to be good at this delicacy, so he asked for advice from Dafang's family, so I learned that this bamboo shoot is to take the fresh bamboo shoots on the vernal equinox day and add salt to cook, and bake them in the basket for the best quality." When cooking with clear sauce, it is necessary to look around day and night, and if the fire is not vigorous, it will be wet; the color is slightly black, it is the middle grade; the spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots are the lower grades. The bamboo shoots have the most provenance, but when I tasted it today, the younger brother thought that the bake at the brother's house was the first. ”

The three of them each picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots and put it in their mouths to chew it, and laughed loudly at the same time; Li Dashan motioned for the family members who were waiting on the side to stand down, and let Li Guo pour a full wine for Wang and Luo.

Wang Zhiming used the chopsticks in his hand again to point to the plate of smoked fish roe and said, "The newer and better this smoked fish roe, the more Chen tastes and withers." Today, Brother Mengtai is loved, this dish is as colored as amber, and it must be from the hands of Sun Chunyang's family in Suzhou!"

Wang Dashan laughed even more when he heard this, and the three of them drank all the residual wine in the cup at the same time.

"This dried curd shreds should be shredded very finely, mixed with shrimp and autumn oil, and accompanied by flower carving. Luo Jiaotou pointed to the plate of deflated dishes on the table as he spoke, and introduced to his senior brother, "Senior brother has eaten countless delicacies in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he may not have tasted this thing. ”

He saw that his senior brother was embarrassed on the plate, so he said, "This dish is called Fengqi dish, and it is the most characteristic of rice fat." It is necessary to take the best winter vegetables and air dry, squeeze out the marinade after pickling, put them in small bottles, seal their mouths with mud, and put them upside down on the ashes. After spring, summer and autumn, it is eaten in winter, its color is yellow, and its smell is also fragrant. ”

"Senior brother, I still know this sauce fried three fruits, this is to peel walnuts and almonds, but hazelnuts do not have to be peeled. Stir-fry the crispy with oil first, and then add the sauce, not too burnt; the amount of sauce must also be taken into account, am I right?" Wang Zhiming wanted to stroke his beard and laugh, but remembered that he still shaved off his beard in order to deceive others of a hundred taels of silver, so his expression was a little embarrassed for a while.

Li Dashan and Luo Jiaotou persuaded Wang Zhiming to drink two more glasses, and the more the three people at the banquet talked, the more speculative they became. The three of them enjoyed the snow and drank in the flower hall, and they were also at ease.

Seeing that the junior brother and the righteous brother asked each other, he talked about some Taoist doors on the rivers and lakes, "Yanzi Gate, because Yan De refers to beauty, taken from the word 'Yan Ruyu'." In the Yanzi door, it refers to the person who specializes in deceiving with beauty, here it does not only refer to beautiful women, but also refers to beautiful men; women deceive men, men deceive women, as long as the color heart is together, someone will be fooled. ”

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many children of the wealthy gentry family did not do their jobs, and some of the dragon sons and grandsons of the old Zhu family also had nothing to do, and wandered around the willow alleys of the flower street all day long, drinking flower wine, and sleeping in warm tents;

Women who are good at this kind of deception must have a high degree of cultivation and knowledge, and many of them are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and poetry and lyrics; occasionally they can also discuss state affairs, and from time to time make a kind of fate helpless, and have to fall into the state of fireworks and willow lanes.

Some dignitaries and nobles are like this, and they often take the opportunity to ask: "Why does the girl sigh for a long time?"

At this time, the opportunity for the Yanzimen people came, and they could just tell the story, "I don't know, the little girl is a native of a certain place, only because of the middle of the family, she has fallen here, and she has become a ......person in the dust."

This master saw that there was an opportunity, so he had an idea and said, "How about I redeem you?"

"How dare you, how dare you, a lowly concubine is a lowly person. ”

"The girl is humble, but the girl can't enter my main house, I can only set up a house on the outskirts of the city, can I wronged the girl to live in a side room?" The rich uncle was still secretly smugly planning, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the hub of others.

"So...... The little girl is willing to be a cow and a horse for her master!" At this time, the sad little women will definitely burst into tears, and they will kneel down to the ground delicately, and a good show will begin.

The merry and golden uncle hurriedly picked up this beautiful girl, "Get up quickly! I have eight hundred taels of silver tickets here, you can take them to redeem yourself first!"

"Thank you, uncle!" However, when the girl took the silver ticket and went out, the people who were waiting outside would rush to help her change her clothes and makeup, and the people in the Yanzi Gate would disappear into the sea of people.

The amorous uncle waited patiently until dawn, but never saw that the girl would return, and often only then did they realize that something was wrong, but it was too late.
