Chapter 70 The Three Buddhas Have a City, and the name is Cangming
Ye Cheng and the others followed Lang Pan into the restaurant, talking and laughing freely, Ye Cheng did not forget to pay careful attention to the furnishings and applications in the store. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, it is not surprising to see that this place is no different from ordinary village restaurants, except that you can smell a faint smell of sea water in the air, after all, most of the people of Sanbutsu Island are engaged in fishing.
"This Chen Zuyi has been a thief at sea for many years, and he has a lot of henchmen, and now that the huge fleet has arrived on the shore, it is impossible for him not to get any news. How can we get here and still not see any minions on the island interrogating and blocking the way, and the islanders have not seen any abnormal movement? Ye Cheng found a bench and sat down, thinking quickly in his heart.
At this time, I saw Na Lang Pan smile and said, "Wait here for a while, and the fish will be served in a while." ”
After saying that, Lang Pan turned around and lifted the curtain into the back kitchen, Ye Cheng took the opportunity to watch, but saw that the back kitchen was white and fragrant, and there were conversations from time to time, which showed that he was really cooking.
Huo Ran saw that Lang Pan was not there, and took the opportunity to whisper to Ye Cheng: "Son, this Lang Pan is ruthless, he must not be a good person, and when he sees the opportunity to act for a while, don't fall into their way." ”
"Ye Shaoxia, there are more than 20,000 imperial troops led by Lord Zheng this time. As the saying goes, under the city, the division is old and dead, and it is believed that the attack strategy should be decided early, if it is delayed for a long time, it may hurt morale. Ji Tianming also lowered his voice and said.
Ye Cheng said with a smile: "What the two of you said is very reasonable, when we see Lang Pan come out in a while, we will see the opportunity to act again." ”
When a few people were talking, suddenly the white curtain was raised, and a few big men came out of it, one by one like tigers, and then they were holding a few plates in their hands, and finally it was Lang Pan who walked out from the inside.
"Haha, let you wait for a long time, but whenever you come to Sanfo Island, you must not taste my Lang's steamed sea bass, come on, everyone hurry up and move the chopsticks, don't wait for the fish to be cold. Lang Pan smiled.
"Yes, although the sea bass made by my second uncle is not a gluttonous delicacy and eight treasures, but if it is delicious, it can be crowned in the world. Chen Zongyuan was the first to pick up the chopsticks, first picked up a piece of fish meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it comfortably.
But seeing the white and tender flesh of the fish that is clamped up, the slightest hot air is steaming up, like the top of the snow-capped mountain, and like the surface of the mirror lake, although it has not yet reached the mouth, but just smelling its taste and seeing its shape, it can be called the top grade.
Ye Cheng smiled slightly, and saw Chen Zongyuan put down the chopsticks first, knowing that he was afraid that everyone would be suspicious and worried that this dish was poisonous, so he tried to calm people's hearts first, otherwise there was no reason not to wait for the guests to eat first.
Seeing that Chen Zongyuan looked calm, Ye Cheng was also a little relieved in his heart, and only then did he take a closer look at the table of sea bass, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and then smiled: "This Boss Lang's two kitchen knives can not only fight the enemy, but also cook in the kitchen, it's really wonderful!"
At this time, Zhong Qing next to him was even more surprised, because he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years with his father sable Zhong Wanhou, and when he was trading, Zhong Qing had never tasted any rare and delicious food, but at this moment, when he saw this steamed sea bass in front of him, it was very different. But under the cover of heat, the body of the fish is covered with yellow and red silk, the yellow one is ginger silk, and the red one is chili. Zhong Qing knows that steaming is the most important thing about the heat, the heat is too small, the perch meat and bones are inseparable, the heat is old, the fish meat is dead, and it is difficult to swallow. Immediately afterwards, Zhong Qing went down with chopsticks and found that there was also a lot of Qiankun in the fish belly, only to see that there were more than ten kinds of ingredients such as ham, wild mushrooms, ginger shreds, clams, etc., and for a while, the richness of the meat, the freshness of the wild mushrooms and the freshness of the fish complemented each other, exuding bursts of aroma.
"As the saying goes, we don't get tired of eating, we don't get tired of eating, Lang shopkeeper this dish, we have to taste it carefully, otherwise it will be really tyrannical.??" Zhong Qing said with a smile.
Lang Pan listened, wiped his hands on the dirty apron in front of him while laughing, and then looked at the big men, and after a while, he brought out three plates of steamed sea bass and various dishes, and after putting them on the table, several people retreated one after another.
Ye Cheng said with a smile while eating: "Brother Zongyuan, we were so graciously entertained by you and your second uncle when we first went to the island, we really deserve it." ”
Chen Zongyuan stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "So far, my younger brother is also dissatisfied with you, it was my father who got our Daming fleet to come to the island, and specially arranged for us to receive you first." Because of the haste of the matter, my father had no skills, so he could only make careful arrangements in the mansion first, and he would definitely receive you ceremoniously when you arrived. ”
Ye Cheng glanced at Huo Ran, Ji Tianming and the others, and sure enough, there were preparations on the island, but this auspicious and evil fortune was still difficult to understand.
"If that's the case, it's really Brother Lao, but I don't know that there is a huge Sanfo Island, and there are not a few people who come and go, why can we recognize us as people from the court?" Ji Tianming deliberately changed into civilian clothes when he went to the island, so he couldn't help but ask at this moment.
"This is simple, but if you look at the adult's sword, won't it be clear?" Chen Zongyuan pointed with his hand.
Ji Tianming looked down and saw that there was a bronze medal hanging on the sword spike above his sword, and the word "Ming" was written on it, and at first glance it was a sword used by the imperial court.
Ye Cheng saw that he was recognized, and he no longer concealed it at the moment, but smiled and said: "Brother Zongyuan has good eyesight, since this is the case, we might as well meet each other frankly, we want to meet the island master Chen this time, there are important matters to discuss, the island owner is the brother's father, and it is inevitable that you will make more arrangements." ”
After that, Ye Cheng introduced everyone one by one.
"It's good to say, it's good to say, my father was originally from the Central Plains, and he had to avoid trouble and flee, and now he is lonely overseas, and he has been looking forward to Ganlin for a long time, but he hates the land of projectiles, and he can't catch it. Chen Zongyuan arched his hand.
Ye Cheng saw that Chen Zongyuan, who now showed his identity, talked eloquently, and he had completely changed his appearance, not like the previous naughty boy, his speech and demeanor were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was worthy of being the son of the island owner.
"As soon as this fish enters the net, we have to listen to the fisherman, and we have to listen to the same when we enter the island, of course, we have to listen to the master, and now the delicious taste is almost delicious, why don't we set off quickly?" Zhong Qing said with a smile.
Chen Zongyuan stroked his palm and said: "Sister is really good at laughing, is it possible that we still have to use fishing nets to bind all the guests?"
"Well, let's go. By the way, why isn't Boss Nalang here, so let's say thank you to him. Zhong Qing stood up and looked at the white curtain as she spoke.
"Sister, don't worry, my second uncle has an impatient temperament and is an idle person, he may not be anywhere at the moment, it is better for us to go on the road. Chen Zongyuan said with a smile.
Waiting for everyone to come out of the store, Chen Zongyuan pointed with his hand: "There is a post station of ours not far in front that is responsible for delivering news to and from the island, there are many horses to ride, and there are not many of us, so you might as well go down and choose a few, or you can facilitate the journey along the road." ”
"It's so good, it's the so-called road to know the horsepower, and it's been seen in the hearts of the people for a long time. This time, we are here, and we have to see the horses and people on the island. Ye Cheng said with a smile.
Chen Zongyuan smiled slightly when he heard this, and immediately understood that Ye Cheng was a pun, so he didn't say anything about it, but took the lead in leading the way, and everyone followed.
When they arrived at the post station, Chen Zongyuan and the person in charge said that they borrowed five horses, and immediately Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang each rode one, and Huo Ran, Ji Tianming and Chen Zongyuan each rode one.
"If you are on the island for the first time, you must not know the customs and customs of this island, so it is better for me to introduce it to you, let's go around and watch as you go, don't be too anxious. Chen Zongyuan said with a smile on the horse.
Ye Cheng had already been worried in his heart, although he felt that this Chen Zongyuan was a good talker, but after all, he was Chen Zuyi's son, in case he just wanted to delay time so that Chen Zuyi could prepare, wouldn't it be a missed fighter?
Thinking of this, Ye Chengzai immediately smiled quietly: "I will wait for Gongzi Chen's good intentions, but I am on official business, it is still important to do business, and after meeting Chen Island Master and discussing it, wouldn't I have more time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Three Buddha Islands?"
Huo Ran nodded secretly, thinking that Ye Cheng's answer was extremely appropriate. Ji Tianming also wanted to listen to the truth as soon as possible, so that he could return to Zheng He, and immediately saw Ye Cheng say this, and hurriedly responded.
Chen Zongyuan smiled slightly when he saw this, and he didn't force it, so he turned the horse's head, rode the horse and whipped it, and rode first, and Ye Cheng and the others also followed with a whip.
These three Buddha islands are not better than that Chongming Island, the terrain on the island is high and undulating, the forest is vast, Ye Cheng learned from Chen Zongyuan that Chen Zuyi built a new city in the middle of the island called "Cangming", although he rode a horse, it was not a moment and a half to arrive.
Although everyone along the road hurried up, Ye Cheng, Zhong Qing and others still did not forget to observe the surrounding environment, but seeing the villages everywhere, it can be seen that there are not a few people on the island.
Although Chen Zongyuan took the lead over there, he always felt that someone behind him was staring at him, and every time he turned around, he saw that it was the woman behind Hu Sanxiao, Chen Zongyuan only felt uncomfortable, so he had to exert force on his wrist and speed up his footsteps, wanting to get rid of Hu Sanxiao and Hua Niang.
Seven people and five horses, without saying anything all the way, Ye Cheng felt that about two hours had passed, and the sun had already turned west, only to see Chen Zongyuan slowly holding the reins and slowing down, and at this time, everyone had unconsciously followed him to a hillside.
"Well, this is Cangming City. Chen Zongyuan pointed down from his horse.
Ye Cheng and the others looked condescendingly in the direction pointed by Chen Zongyuan, but they saw a big and solid city! Everyone looked down, but they saw that the city seemed to be crowded, and there was smoke rising from the cooking, looking at the majesty of this city, even compared to Ying Tianfu, it was not inferior at all.
"Okay, it's really a little tiring to walk this way, let's hurry up and ride down the hillside, presumably my father has already lined up in the city to greet him. Chen Zongyuan said with a smile.
At this moment, suddenly a strong wind hung on the mountain, and the leaves fell one after another, Chen Zongyuan only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was blown by something to cover his eyes, so he hurriedly took it away with his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Ye Cheng, Zhong Qing and the others were also taken aback, and hurriedly came to Chen Zongyuan to take a look, but saw him standing there in a daze, holding an object in his hand, which turned out to be a paper money.
