Chapter 29 Twenty-nine

While drinking and talking and laughing, Zhao Mingfeng saw Fang Guohuan behind the tree by accident, and realized that there were other people resting here, so he showed his boldness and called a servant: "A Bing, go invite that young master to drink." A servant walked up to Fang Guohuan, gave a salute and said, "Young master, my master is here to invite you." Fang Guohuan was quite surprised when he saw Zhao Mingfeng inviting him, so he hurriedly got up and came over, bowed his hands and said, "Below Guohuan, Excuse me, you two are having a drink." Zhao Mingfeng got up and gave way: "So it's Mr. Fang, since we're resting here, let's have a drink together." Then Zhao Sheng sat without moving, just nodded his head slightly.Fang Guohuan wanted to decline, but seeing Zhao Mingfeng's warm invitation, it was difficult to refuse, so he thanked him and sat aside, and his own servant took out a pair of cups and chopsticks from the food box and put them on the table.Zhao Mingfeng poured the wine himself, toasted Fang Guohuan a cup, and then said, "Mr. Fang is traveling all over the world, and he is on his way alone. I don't know where he wants to go?" Said: "I come from Hebei, and I want to go to Hunan to find a place called Tianyuan Temple." Zhao Ming heard about it and said in surprise: "It's thousands of miles away from Hebei to Hunan. Mr. Fang is traveling alone. It's really amazing. Admire." Secretly, there was a bit of respect for Fang Guohuan.Fang Guohuan said with a smile: "I'm also doing this for personal interest. Like Mr. Zhao, he travels far and hard without hesitation." Zhao Ming heard about it and knew that Fang Guohuan had listened to what he just talked about, so he couldn't help but smiled happily and said, "Mr. Fang With this perseverance, Zhao has met a bosom friend." He happily asked Fang Guohuan to have another drink.Fang Guohuan saw that the food and drinks in front of him were exquisite, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao has tasted all kinds of delicacies from all over the world, and wherever he goes, delicious food is accompanied by him. Such a good taste is really enviable." Zhao Mingfeng laughed and said: "The joy of life is nothing more than that. "Zhao Mingfeng is the son of everyone. There are not many people who talk to him frankly on weekdays. Now that Fang Guohuan is dressed like an ordinary person, he is neither arrogant nor humble, and there is a bit of pride in his handsomeness. I like it in my heart. I blame myself for inviting him. too late.During the conversation, the two got along very well.

At this time, a few cool breezes blew in the air, and the heat subsided a bit, so Zhao Mingfeng ordered his servants to pack up and set off, and warmly invited Fang Guohuan to go with him.Seeing that Zhao Mingfeng was traveling with him, Fang Guohuan readily agreed.Zhao Mingfeng was very happy, so he asked Fang Guohuan to ride on his horse, but Fang Guohuan naturally refused, so Zhao Mingfeng simply pulled him along, talking and laughing all the way.Zhao Sheng's family rode on the horse and walked for a while. He felt uncomfortable, so he got off the horse and handed it to the servant to lead him, and he followed behind.After going up a section of the slope, a large market town appeared in front of us. Due to the high and low roads, we couldn't see each other.

After entering the town, he found a famous local restaurant called "Si Hai Lou", so Zhao Mingfeng dragged Fang Guohuan upstairs to sit.Fang Guohuan couldn't refuse, so he had to go with him.Zhao Sheng went to the kitchen and ordered: "If there are any famous dishes, no matter how high or low, cook them all. If my son is happy with the food, he will be rewarded with great rewards." The skills were busy, and for a while, there was a clang, the pots and spoons collided, and the fireworks were lingering.The person in charge of the restaurant saw that everyone was well dressed, so he knew that the distinguished guests had arrived, so he quickly notified the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately came out to receive and chat with him.After a short time, soup dishes were brought up one after another, and the large and small dishes filled the two square tables together.Zhao Mingfeng sat in the first place, Fang Guohuan and Zhao Sheng sat on the left and right, and the servants sat on the side.At this time, the shopkeeper introduced the flavor and characteristics of each dish, eloquently and eloquently, which confused Fang Guohuan, who did not expect that there are so many exquisite dishes in the dishes.Zhao Mingfeng and the others were already used to it, so they didn't pay much attention to it.After the shopkeeper introduced several dishes, he pointed to two big dishes and introduced them in detail. After saying that, he felt a little proud.Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingfeng added a few more sentences naturally, it was the characteristics of the two dishes, all of which were neglected by the shopkeeper, which stunned the shopkeeper.Fang Guohuan secretly shouted hello, and praised in his heart: "I didn't expect Zhao Mingfeng's knowledge on food to be so profound. I don't know how much thought he put into it. He is worthy of being a gourmet!" Immediately regained his senses, knowing that he was a real diner, and the big diner arrived, he hurriedly told the waiter: "Go quickly to the cellar and get two jars of good wine that have been stored for many years." Sui smiled and said to Zhao Mingfeng: "Since the young master is a distinguished guest, this The two altars of wine are all served in a small shop."

When the food and wine were served, Zhao Mingfeng held out his hand to Fang Guohuan and said, "Young Master Fang, please use it. You are welcome." Fang Guohuan thanked him with a smile, and shook his head secretly.Zhao Mingfeng only held one or two chopsticks for each dish, and he didn't hold much with one chopstick. He chewed and tasted it slowly in his mouth, but he shook his head more and nodded less, and the shopkeeper was even more at a loss.Zhao Sheng and all the servants ate to their stomachs, but they were eating the vegetables that Zhao Mingfeng had carried away.Fang Guohuan was secretly surprised at this time, knowing that Zhao Mingfeng had eaten all the way, visiting and tasting delicious food.After the food and wine were used up, most of them were left.As soon as Zhao Mingfeng put down his chopsticks, the shopkeeper was next to him, and he said anxiously: "The shop is simple and simple, I don't know how your food is? Does it suit your taste?" "The food is not as good as wine." Zhao Mingfeng said lightly.When the shopkeeper heard this, he was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together, not knowing what to do.Zhao Sheng said aside: "My son has eaten all the way from Suzhou, and the food here is the worst. Is there nothing delicious to make my son happy?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his head and apologized. : "The restaurant's food and drinks are ordinary, and it can't satisfy the young master's taste. Please forgive me, please forgive me." The shopkeeper knew that the other party had a lot of background, and he didn't seem to be cheating. If it was difficult, it would be really difficult. It's uneasy, busy talking about apologizing.Zhao Mingfeng was a little annoyed, so he said to Zhao Sheng: "We've counted the money for the food and drinks, let's go." Zhao Sheng responded and went to the counter to pay the bill.The shopkeeper felt at ease, and hurriedly called the waiter to offer tea, but Zhao Mingfeng ignored him, and when Zhao Sheng came back, he stood up and pulled Fang Guohuan back, saying: "Mr. Fang, let's go. I will find a good restaurant tomorrow, and I will invite you again." "The shopkeeper respectfully said: "The hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good, please go slowly, young master." He was relieved in secret.

When Zhao Mingfeng and the others reached the stairs and were about to go downstairs, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and then called out: "Please stay, sir, the old man has something to say." One of Zhao Ming's rumors Startled, he also stopped.Zhao Sheng said displeased: "What? The shopkeeper's wine bill is short?" The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, please sit down and talk." Zhao Mingfeng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and sat down and said: "Shopkeeper, yes Please speak." The shopkeeper calmed down and said: "Young master is not an ordinary person. I am really ashamed of the poor hospitality in this small shop." Zhao Sheng said anxiously: "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't want mother-in-law." The shopkeeper said: "Everyone, don't worry, the old man will tell you this. I saw that this young man has a very high taste, which is beyond the cooking skills of ordinary master chefs. Now the old man knows a place to go, and there lives a senior chef. People." Zhao Ming heard about it, and said happily, "May I ask the shopkeeper, where is he going? How far is it?" The shopkeeper said: "It's not very far away. Ten miles east of this town, there is a Shiyan village, where an old man lives. , known as Shiyu Gong, moved here more than ten years ago. Some people have tasted his cooking skills, and the taste is so delicious that it seems that it is not in the world. However, this man has a weird personality and rarely socializes with others, let alone cooking with others , but has a hobby, playing a good game of chess, there is no opponent from far and near. If there is a greedy person who comes to disturb him, the stone fish male can't be entangled, so he releases the wind. If there is a player who wins a game of chess, there should be someone taller for him Make a big dish that has never been done in ancient and modern times. If there is a person who wins two games of chess, then a higher person will cook a delicious feast for him. If he wins three games, let this person taste all the delicacies in the world After hearing this, Zhao Mingfeng said happily, "Is that taller person called Han Yugong?" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, I heard it's a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman." "A woman?" Zhao asked. Ming Feng was very surprised when he heard it, then he patted the table, got up and said, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it cooks delicious food, I'll visit you later." Refuse to block some idlers and diners, so I set a rule, only those who win chess can have the honor to taste the delicacies of the world. Even if the son is generous, if he is not a good chess player, the stone fish will never see him Yes, my lord, it is better not to run into a wall." Zhao Mingfeng sat slumped after hearing this.
