Banquet 周浩晖 16098Words 2018-03-22
The fifteenth day of the third lunar month, the day after the "Famous House Fair". In just one day, Jiang Shan's name has spread to all the restaurants and wine shops in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou. All the swordsmen in the city know that the chefs of the three famous restaurants were all losers in yesterday's contest. , is Jiang Shan. The news that Jiang Shan will have a banquet at the Slender West Lake tonight also spread like wildfire. Everyone who knew the news hoped to be able to come to the scene and see the demeanor of this mysterious visitor. But Jiang Shan only sent out six invitations. Someone well-informed found out that this young rich man from Beijing had reserved the Slender West Lake Park tonight, and anyone could only enter with an invitation.Everyone was disappointed, but they had to give in. Looking at Yangzhou City, in terms of status in the culinary world, who else can beat these six people?

However, there are always people who are unwilling, and Xu Lijie is one of them.Now she was pouted, walking back and forth beside Shen Fei with a dejected expression on her face. Like every afternoon before, Shen Fei's stall was crowded with people and the business was booming.The bamboo chopsticks in Shen Fei's right hand were flying up and down, and his left hand was still busy collecting money, with almost no time to rest.After finally finding some free time, he looked up at Xu Lijie, and said with a smile, "Why don't you sit for a while? It's dangling around. You're not tired, and I'm dizzy too."

Xu Lijie stared: "Can I sit still? Let me ask you, do you want to go or not?" "Think about it." Shen Fei looked very serious, "Besides, I will only think about it more than you." "It's almost six o'clock now, and Jiang Shan's appointment time is eight o'clock. You said to find a way, have you figured it out?" "Don't worry, wait until I'm done with the last group of guests, and then free up my head to think slowly." Shen Fei spoke in a slow tone, but the movements of his hands were very quick, and pieces of golden tofu in the oil pan Under the fiddle of the long chopsticks, the stems are twirling and whirling, but they don't splash half a star of oil.

Xu Lijie curled her lips, looking a little helpless. Apart from continuing to wait, what else could she do? Fortunately, it was getting late, and it didn't take long before the last guest finally left.At this moment, Xu Lijie calmed down, she tilted her head, and looked at Shen Fei without saying a word. Shen Fei didn't seem to be in a hurry. Although all the diners had dispersed, he was still holding unsold stinky tofu, putting them into the oil pan one by one, and frying them carefully. Generally forgotten. Xu Lijie couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up, walked in front of Shen Fei, and stretched out her hand to shake his gaze.

Shen Fei hid left and right twice, but couldn't avoid the entanglement of "Devil's Claw", so he had to say: "There is a way." "Really?" Xu Lijie immediately withdrew her hand and asked with a smile on her face, "What can I do?" Shen Fei chuckled: "Let Uncle Xu bring you in." Xu Lijie wrinkled her nose in disappointment: "If this is possible, I will still use it to find you? I told my dad about it this morning." "Oh? What did Uncle Xu say?" "No one else invited you, so it's not good for me to take you there? This is a formal occasion, not as casual as visiting relatives and friends on weekdays. You like Huaiyang cuisine so much, and Xiao Lingzi and I can cook it for you every day in the future. Don't be in a hurry." Xu Lijie imitated Uncle Xu's accent vividly, and Shen Fei was amused by her and laughed.

"Stop laughing, think of another way." Xu Lijie thumped Shen Fei's arm. "Yes. You can go to Xiao Lingzi, he will definitely offer to give you the invitation." "You guessed it really accurately!" Xu Lijie looked at Shen Fei with some surprise, "I also looked for him, and it really was the result." "It goes without saying." Shen Fei twitched his lips: "Xiao Lingzi is honest, and you have been entangled three times and two times, and he can't think of a way, so he has to make compromises by himself." Listening to Shen Fei's analysis, Xu Lijie thought of Ling Yongsheng's blushing anxious look at that time, she couldn't help smiling, and then shook her head: "But this is not okay, I will not do things that plunder people's beauty. Besides, Jiang Shan asked It's Xiao Lingzi, I'll take his place, what's that?"

Shen Fei took out a fast food box, put the fried stinky tofu in the pot piece by piece, then sprinkled seasoning and seasoning sauce on it, and said calmly: "Oh, this doesn't work, then No way, it seems that I have to do it myself. Come, this is for you." Xu Lijie looked at the fast food box that Shen Fei handed over, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing?" Shen Fei smiled slightly: "Take it, this is our invitation card." Lao Yangtou is fifty-five years old this year, and has been a gatekeeper in Slender West Lake for twelve years. In the past twelve years, he has never been so busy as today.The back door he guarded is located in a remote place, and it is rare for a few people to enter and exit through it all day long, but this evening, no fewer than twenty or thirty people wanted to enter the garden through it in less than two hours.Without exception, these people were blocked by Old Yang: "If you want to go in, you must have an invitation card written by Mr. Jiang!"

No matter what kind words those people had, and even lure them with money, Lao Yang would not back down.His stubborn temper has long been known, and the group of people also deeply realized this. Seeing that it was almost eight o'clock, they had no choice but to leave in resentment, thinking of another entrance to try their luck. Old Yang finally got some leisure, he went back to his small concierge, and took out a full bottle of Laobaigan from the cupboard. "Oh, it's finally gone. It's time for us brothers to get closer." He unscrewed the bottle cap, put his nose in and took a deep breath, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

But soon, he had a bitter face again. After counting the drinks in this room, there was only the leftover half bag of peanuts from yesterday. The peanuts have been laid out and the wine glasses are filled.Old Yang took a sip of wine, ate a peanut, and then let out a long sigh. Suddenly, his movements stopped, and only his nose was still twitching rapidly. Every time he twitched, a smile appeared on his face, and the smile quickly made his mouth open: "Since you come What are you doing hiding outside, isn't it interesting to watch me serve wine with peanuts?" Shen Fei swayed in from the door, and said with a wry smile: "This time I put on three layers of convenience bags, but you still smelled it before entering the room."

"The thing you fried can smell bad even three streets away. What are these three-layer convenience bags?" Old Yang waved his hand excitedly, "Hurry up and put it here, you're going to starve to death, brother!" Is it?" Shen Fei opened the convenience bag and placed a box of fried stinky tofu next to the peanuts. Lao Yang swallowed, but his face turned into a sad expression. "What's the matter, not satisfied?" "Satisfaction is satisfaction, but too troublesome." "What trouble?" "woman." The woman that Old Yang mentioned was of course Xu Lijie standing behind Shen Fei.

"Bringing a woman, you definitely didn't come to drink with me. You didn't come to drink with me, but you sent dried stinky tofu all the way. It's troublesome, and it must be troublesome." Old Yang said these few words Sometimes, I was so worried that my eyes almost squeezed my nose. Shen Fei laughed, pointed at the box of dried stinky tofu, and said bluntly: "Leave this one, I'll go in with her, you can choose?" Old Yang sighed heavily: "What choice does a drunkard have when faced with the stinky dried tofu fried by Shen Fei?" Seeing the helpless expression of Old Yang Tou, Xu Lijie couldn't help asking: "You let us in, and the leader will trouble you later, what should you do?" Old Yang rolled his eyes: "Just look for it, anyway, there is this box of stinky tofu, and I won't know when the time comes." "Because at that time, he must have been drunk." Shen Fei added to help Old Yang. By the Slender West Lake, by Ershisi Bridge. "Thirty to six of the West Lakes in the world", but the West Lake in Yangzhou is different from other lakes in its delicate and pretty style, which occupies an appropriate "thin" word.Her lake road is slender, and the winding water is like a brocade belt, floating like a brush, opening and closing, winding and winding. Compared with Hangzhou West Lake, it has a delicate charm.Someone once said that if Hangzhou West Lake is compared to Yang Guifei, who is graceful and luxurious, Yangzhou Slender West Lake can be compared to Zhao Feiyan, who was able to perform palm dance in Han Dynasty. There are scenery in the scenery of Slender West Lake, and gardens in the garden, and any pavilions, terraces and buildings are well arranged and have a unique charm.However, in the spring of March, the most admirable scenery on the Slender West Lake is the weeping willows along the embankment on both sides of the lake.The twigs full of trees are like the long hair of Jiangnan women, floating lightly on the water or floating in the wind, graceful and charming. Such beautiful scenery, coupled with the bright moon in the sky and the hazy night, how can we not make people fascinated and get drunk before drinking? Therefore, if you want to host a banquet, I am afraid there is no better place than this. The appointed time was coming soon, Uncle Xu and others had been waiting by the bridge for nearly half an hour, but Jiang Shan, who hosted the banquet, was still missing. "Why hasn't Jiang Shan come here yet? No one at the bridge is welcoming guests. It's really not the way to welcome guests." Chen Chunsheng shook his head and complained dissatisfiedly. Uncle Xu took two steps to Chen Chunsheng's side: "Mr. Chen, how did you meet this person? How is your friendship?" "Actually, I don't have any deep friendship. It was introduced by a friend in the business field. This time he happened to come to Yangzhou, so I invited him as a guest. I wanted to discuss the matter of opening a joint venture store in Beijing." "Oh?" Uncle Xu frowned slightly, "So you didn't invite him here? Did he come to Yangzhou for something else?" "Well, I don't know exactly why you came here." "Hehe." Ma Yun stroked his beard, pointed to the winding lake in the distance, and said with a pun: "Everyone, please look over there. Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come." Everyone looked in the direction of Ma Yun's finger, and saw a faint light at the corner of the river on the left. As the light became brighter and brighter, an exquisite painting boat turned out from the other side of the river. .It turned out that the light was reflected from this painting boat. The whole body of the painting boat is made of pure wood, with white windows and red sides, which is antique.The woman at the bow of the boat had her hair in a high bun, and she was wearing a single jacket and trousers with broken white flowers on a blue background, which was also a simple dress. Huafang pushed away Bibo, and walked slowly towards the direction of Ersisi Bridge.A figure flickered at the door of the cabin, and Jiang Shan walked out of it.I saw that he was wearing a pure white wool T-shirt and a pair of water blue jeans. Compared with yesterday, he was a little less elegant, but he looked energetic and full of vitality. In the bright moonlight, Jiang Shan stood on the bow of the boat and recited aloud: "The green mountains are hidden and the water is far away, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is not withered in autumn." What Jiang Shan recited was a seven-character quatrain "Send Yangzhou Han Chuo Judge" written by Du Mu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty. It is a famous work describing the Ershisi Bridge in Yangzhou.This poem has been passed down through the ages, and it has aroused many people's associations with the moonlit night on the Twenty-Four Bridges.Jiang Shan was moved by the scene, finished the first two sentences, paused for a while, and was about to continue when he heard someone on the shore take the next sentence first: "On a moonlit night at the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade man teach me how to play the flute!" The voice came from behind Uncle Xu and the others. Jiang Shan and the others followed the sound and saw Shen Fei walking out of a path by the lake with a smile on his face. Xu Lijie followed behind him, also with a smile on his face. Ling Yongsheng looked at the two in surprise: "You guys are here too? How did you get in?" Uncle Xu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Then there is no need to ask, ninety-nine percent is Shen Fei's ability." Shen Fei cupped his fists with a playful smile: "Hey, thank you Uncle Xu for your compliment." Then he raised his head and said to Jiang Shan on the boat: "Mr. Jiang, we came here uninvited. For your banquet, don't you mind adding two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks?" ?” Jiang Shan chuckled: "Brother Fei is too polite. One of the two is the best dish in Yangzhou City, and the other is the daughter of the owner of 'Yixiaotian'. They are both honored guests that I can only wish for. Why bother to see outsiders." , the painting boat had landed steadily and stopped, Jiang Shan made a courteous gesture: "I kept you waiting for a long time, please get on board." The woman who punted the boat had already set up the slabs.After everyone boarded the boat one by one, Jiang Shan led the way and led everyone into the cabin. The cabin doesn't look big from the outside, but the inside is unique.In the middle of the cabin is a large round table of black wood, covered with scarlet fine velvet tablecloth, giving people a luxurious feeling.Around the table is a circle of fine porcelain round stools with blue flowers on a white background, but it still exudes a bit of elegance.All kinds of flowers are dotted around the cabin, most of which are elegant varieties such as jasmine and Milan, which make the cabin have a faint fragrance of flowers. Standing in each of the four corners of the cabin is a young woman dressed as a maid, with a smile on her face and a fresh and pleasant appearance.Seeing someone entering the room, the two women near the cabin immediately stepped forward and guided everyone to sit down at the table. "Okay, everyone, sit down quickly, the boat is about to sail." Shen Fei yelled, as if he had become the master. "Start the boat? Do you know where we are going?" Jiang Shan looked at Shen Fei with interest, while the others showed somewhat strange expressions. Shen Fei raised his body and said carelessly: "On the night of the 15th day of the lunar calendar, since we have come to Slender West Lake, if we don't go to watch the moon under the Wuting Bridge, then we will let Mr. Jiang's kindness go in vain." "Haha, it seems that among this group of people, the one who knows me is none other than Shen Fei." While talking and laughing, Jiang Shan gestured to the woman beside him.The woman understood and walked out of the cabin, while the remaining three women were busy serving tea and water to everyone.After a while, the hull shook slightly, apparently leaving the shore. The Wuting Bridge mentioned by Shen Fei is located at the east end of Slender West Lake, not far from Ershisi Bridge.Because of the wide body of the bridge and five pavilions built on it, it got its name.Looking down from a height, the well-arranged five pavilions look like a blooming lotus, so it is also called the Lotus Bridge.The whole bridge is beautiful in shape, with yellow tiles and pillars outside the pavilion, matched with white railings, and a painted caisson inside the pavilion, which is magnificent.Mao Yisheng, a Chinese bridge expert, once said that among the ancient bridges in China, the oldest is Zhaozhou Bridge, the most majestic is Lugou Bridge, and the most beautiful is Wuting Bridge. Not only that, Wuting Bridge also has a wonderful place.The bridge base structure of this bridge is ingenious, forming a total of fifteen bridge holes.On a clear night, a round of moon shadows will be reflected in each bridge hole, together with the bright moon in the starry sky, it corresponds to the old saying "the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round".Therefore, whenever the moon is full, the Wuting Bridge naturally becomes the best place to enjoy the moon. The boat swayed leisurely, walked on the lake for about a quarter of an hour, and stopped again.The woman who went out earlier walked into the cabin again at this time, and she came to Jiang Shan, bent down and said in a low voice: "Here we are." "Okay!" Jiang Shan stood up happily from his seat and waved his hand, "Open the window, so that everyone can enjoy the beautiful moonlight under the bridge!" Eight jade hands flicked lightly, and within a short while, the sandalwood windows on both sides of the cabin had been opened to the maximum, and scale-like waves and bright moonlight came in. Everyone looked out of the window, and it turned out that the painting boat had stopped under the main bridge hole of Wuting Bridge.From this angle, you can have a panoramic view of the many small bridge holes in the surrounding area. In the jasper-like water surface, the moon is competing for glory, which is too beautiful to behold. "It's so beautiful!" Xu Lijie gently supported her chin with her fingertips, and couldn't help admiring. However, Shen Fei sighed softly: "This beautiful scenery is good, but it's a pity that among the three beauties at this time and this place, it can only be ranked last." Xu Lijie blinked her eyes: "Three beauties? Which three beauties?" Shen Fei said solemnly: "Beauty, food, beautiful scenery." Xu Lijie smiled: "I have no problem with the beauty being the first, but where is this delicious food?" Shen Fei pointed at Jiang Shan: "Hey, well, you have to ask him." Jiang Shan saw Xu Lijie cast his eyes on himself, and responded with a smile: "Brother Fei is right. Although the scenery is beautiful, if it is not accompanied by delicious food, it will be a fly in the ointment. Before you board the boat, I have prepared a few cold dishes , can come in handy now. Go and serve those few dishes." Jiang Shan's last words were addressed to the four women.After hearing the order, the four people filed in a file and went out from the back door of the cabin. When they came in again, each of them had an extra tray in their hands, and each tray contained two cold dishes, eight in total, namely: Rouge Goose Preserved, delicious eggplant, crystal elbow flower, purple fragrant tiger tail, nobile silver silk, Zhongbao drunk crab, emerald feather coat, crispy crucian carp. The four women put the cold dishes on the table one by one, and then matched the tableware and drinks.These eight cold dishes are combined with meat and vegetables, and the color is harmonious, which arouses everyone's appetite at a glance. "Come on, you're welcome, please enjoy for a while. I'll see you later." Jiang Shan stood up while greeting. "What? Aren't you enjoying the scenery with us?" Xu Lijie asked, "Where are you going?" Jiang Shan chuckled: "I'm on the boat, but there is a curtain between you and me, so that the oily smoke won't spoil everyone's mood." After speaking, he turned and walked out from the back door of the cabin. As Jiang Shan said, there was only a thin curtain hanging on the back door of the cabin.The bright moonlight reflected Jiang Shan's figure on the curtain, and he could be vaguely seen standing at the stern of the boat, with a square desk in front of him.At this time, everyone understood that Jiang Shan was going to be at the stern of the boat to serve hot dishes for everyone. Jiang Shan's figure relaxed his right arm, and when he turned his wrist, there was something extra in his hand. Judging from the shape, it was a kitchen knife. Sure enough, as Jiang Shan's right hand continued to flip rhythmically, the sound of "Tu Tu Tu Tu" was continuously transmitted into the cabin.The voice was sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, in the ears, sometimes it was like a galloping horse, sometimes it was like a wooden fish tapping lightly. The sound of the saber has an excellent sense of rhythm. Although there are changes and repetitions, there is no pause, which shows that the saber operator is proficient in the saber technique and has entered the realm of perfection.Most of the people in the cabin are cooking experts. Although they can't see Jiang Shan's movements clearly through the curtain, they only listen to the sound, and they chop, chop, chop, hob, slap, and push. Knives and saws are all in the chest. Suddenly, the sound of "Du Du" sounded in the cabin, which echoed the sound of the knife. Xu Lijie followed the sound, and it turned out that Ling Yongsheng was tapping the table with his middle knuckles.Looking at the others, except for Shen Fei, they all had solemn expressions and listened intently.Ma Yun even closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was enjoying music. Xu Lijie touched Shen Fei beside her with her hand, and asked quietly: "What's wrong with them?" Shen Fei put his mouth close to Xu Lijie's ear, and said softly: "This Jiang Shan's saber skills are good, they all felt itchy after hearing this, and they are all secretly confirming their own skills." Xu Lijie suddenly realized, she was both surprised and curious, and couldn't help turning her eyes around the crowd a few more times. Just as the sound of the knife stopped, there was a light sound of "canopy" again, and a ball of fire burst out behind the curtain.Jiang Shan bent down slightly, and took out a round object from under the desk with his left hand and placed it on the firelight. Needless to say, he knew that it was an iron pot. After a while, there was a "cracking, crackling" sound of oil explosion outside the cabin.Jiang Shan waited for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and poured a pot of raw materials into the pot, only to hear a loud "crack", and the flames on the iron pot rose to a height of more than half a meter!Even through the curtain, the momentum was still surprising. Jiang Shan holds the spoon in his right hand and the pot in his left, and the two hands are in harmony, constantly flying up and down.Although his movements were fast, he explained every move clearly and neatly.Even looking at his figure reflected on the curtain, there is no muddy feeling at all. After some stir-frying, the raw materials were put into the pot, and the inside and outside of the cabin became quiet for a while.It can be vaguely seen that Jiang Shan picked up an oval object, with the upper end close to his mouth, and a large basin attached to the lower end. "What is he doing?" Xu Lijie asked puzzled. "What he is holding is an egg, and there should be small holes punched at both ends. He is blowing the egg white out of the eggshell." When Ling Yongsheng spoke, the rest of the people also nodded in agreement. After Jiang Shan finished blowing one, he picked up another one, repeating this process, and after blowing a total of eight eggs, he stopped, and then put the basin that caught the egg whites into the pot. "Is he making... steamed eggs?" Chen Chunsheng guessed hesitantly. Behind the curtain, Jiang Shan added something to the pot, put on the lid, and began to wait quietly.Judging from his posture, he seems to be holding his hands behind his back, overlooking the lake, with a calm and elegant demeanor. Suddenly, a gust of breeze swept across the lake, and the curtain at the door was blown into the cabin. Jiang Shan just lifted the lid of the pot at this moment, and a scent came in with the wind, rushing to the people around the table. come. The scent was not strong, but it was fresh and compelling, and immediately covered the original scent of flowers in the cabin. Everyone couldn't help snuffing their noses, wishing they could inhale a few more times. Jiang Shan flipped his hand, and passed the vegetable basin into the cabin through the curtain, and at the same time announced the name of the dish loudly: "The bright moon is full of the river!" Immediately, an accompanying woman came forward, took the dish on the tray, and then turned around Shi ran towards the table. The painting boat that everyone was on stopped under the main bridge hole of the Wuting Bridge, and the moon was shining brightly outside the cabin, and the night was bright.But after the dish was served on the table, the moonlight in the cabin seemed to overwhelm the brilliance of the sixteen bright moons outside the cabin. I saw that the porcelain basin was huge, with a diameter of forty centimeters away. The clear water in the basin was as white as jade, and many golden moons were dotted in it. Moreover, these bright moons were round or missing, and their shapes were different, some of them were like jade. Some are like golden hooks.A seductive fresh fragrance emanates quietly from this pot of bright moon and jade water. Only then did everyone understand that what Jiang Shan did behind the curtain was to deep-fry the best scallops and shrimps in an oil pan until golden, then sprinkle them in the egg white liquid, and then steam them over water to create this delicious dish. The "Moon Full River" is unparalleled in Taoism, form and meaning! The woman serving the dish said politely: "Misters and ladies, Mr. Jiang has ordered that this dish should be eaten while it is hot. In order to reflect the texture of the clear and flowing river water, the main ingredient in the dish, the egg white liquid, is only steamed until it is seven ripe. If it is cold, it will have a somewhat fishy smell." "Well, well said, it makes sense, it makes sense! Then we're not going to be polite. We should scoop out steamed eggs with a spoon." Shen Fei leaned forward excitedly, holding the small spoon in his hand in the air, but He stopped and said with emotion: "Such a beautiful pot of bright moon, I really can't bear to destroy it. I really don't know where to start." The woman was teased by Shen Fei with a "puchi" smile, and said: "You don't have to worry about this. This full moonlight is for you to enjoy. You just scoop it down, scoop up a bright moon, and look at it." What will it taste like after it reaches your mouth?" "Okay! Then I have to pick the most beautiful one." Shen Fei said, looking at the roundest and largest "bright moon", scooping it up with the surrounding egg white river water, smiling and admiring it for a moment, then turning his head Say to Xu Lijie: "Ladies first, miss, I know you are embarrassed to take the lead, so I have the cheek to help you." After finishing speaking, Shen Fei sent the small spoon to Xu Lijie's dinner plate. Xu Lijie smiled like a flower, thanked her softly, picked up the small spoon, and slowly put the "bright moon" into her mouth. The semi-congealed egg white liquid was as smooth as fat, and it first melted between the lips and tongue. Xu Lijie only felt a fresh fragrance that went straight to her heart.When the teeth bite the scallop lightly, there is an indescribable fresh taste gushing out from it immediately, and the two flavors are combined continuously, lingering in the mouth. At this time, other people also took a round of "bright moon" and tasted it carefully.Uncle Xu smacked for a moment, then asked Ling Yongsheng beside him: "Xiao Lingzi, tell me, what is the mystery of these scallops and shrimps?" Ling Yongsheng closed his eyes, licked the tip of his tongue with his lips, and then replied: "The scallops and shrimps have absorbed a variety of delicious flavors. They should be cooked in chicken soup with mushrooms and other ingredients. Got it." "Yes." Uncle Xu nodded, and then added, "In addition to mushrooms, there are also young spring bamboo shoots, ham and deer breast." After listening to the conversation between the master and the apprentice, Ma Yun closed his eyes and savored it for a while, then exclaimed: "If you distinguish carefully, it really is these kinds of umami flavors. Boss Xu has a sharp sense of taste, which is admirable." "Hi." Uncle Xu waved his hand disapprovingly, hesitated to speak, and thought to himself: In the "Yixiaotian" restaurant the day before yesterday, Jiang Shan just smelled the fragrance floating in the lobby, and accurately said "Four Fresh Lions" The ingredients used in the "head" are really amazing. While everyone in the cabin was enjoying the delicious food, Jiang Shan who was beyond the curtain did not stop at all.But in the flickering firelight, Jiang Shan's figure was swaying freely, and there was a bit of elegance in his skillful movements. Looking through the curtain, he didn't seem to be cooking, but he seemed to be dancing. In a short time, "boats on the Qingjiang River", "geese falling on the flat sand", "tide level on the spring river", "Jade Dragon Soaring to the Moon", "Orchids in the Empty Valley", "Plum Shadows in the Bamboo Wind", "Flowers and Snow Moon", "Heju in Luxiang", A series of meat and vegetable delicacies such as "Chushui Furong" are served on the table one after another. To appreciate it is already intoxicating. At this time, the night was getting darker, Jiang Shan raised the curtain, and walked into the cabin slowly accompanied by a lake light and moon shadow.I saw him calm and relaxed, his white woolen sweater was spotless, and he was still as handsome and elegant as when he stood on the bow of the boat reciting poems. "This table'Spring River Flower and Moon Banquet', please enlighten me." Jiang Shan bowed his hands to everyone, although his tone of voice was modest, but the expression between his brows was very confident. "'Chunjiang Huayue Banquet', what a good name." Ma Yun shook his head and said with emotion, "The moon shadow floats outside the window, and the fragrance of the dishes on the table is faintly mixed with the fresh smell of sweet-scented osmanthus. It really makes people feel like they are in Guanghan. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus is faintly present, but I don't know where it comes from?" "I soaked a small amount of sweet-scented osmanthus in the water used to cook the dishes today. This simple trick made everyone laugh." "The technique is simple, but the idea is not simple." Chen Chunsheng also admired sincerely, "You have integrated the scenery of this season into the dishes on the table, borrowing the scenery into the dishes, and combining the dishes and scenery. I have opened my eyes today——Xu Boss, what's your opinion?" Uncle Xu didn't answer directly, but turned to Ling Yongsheng, "What do you think?" Ling Yongsheng shook his head: "I have nothing to say." Uncle Xu was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "The color, aroma, taste, meaning, and shape are all extremely wonderful, and there is really nothing to say." Jiang Shan smiled slightly, sat back in his seat, waved his hand and said, "In this case, please enjoy the scenery and dishes, and enjoy this good night." Uncle Xu picked up the wine glass in front of him, and made a respectful respect to Jiang Shanxu: "Mr. Jiang is too polite, for such hospitality, I will first represent everyone and offer you a toast." Jiang Shan stood up, held his wine glass and said respectfully: "Don't dare, dare not. Boss Xu has a long-standing reputation in Yangzhou's culinary circles. It's really a great honor for me to give such a high evaluation of my dishes." "Well, with your cooking skills, you deserve it." After Uncle Xu said this, he suddenly changed the subject, "I'm afraid that Mr. Jiang came to Yangzhou this time not just to treat everyone to a meal, right?" This sentence raised the common question in everyone's mind, even Shen Fei, who had been eating non-stop, stopped his chopsticks at this time, and cast his eyes on Jiang Shan together with the others. "Since Uncle Xu has brought it up, I won't hide it anymore." Jiang Shan raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass, "I came to Yangzhou this time to make a bet with you all." .” "Oh?" Uncle Xu gently put the wine glass back on the table, "I wonder what Mr. Jiang wants to bet?" Jiang Shan was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "I bet that in Yangzhou city, no one can beat my subordinates in cooking." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Although everyone could see that Jiang Shan was quite conceited before, but his words and deeds have always been modest, but now he suddenly said such words, and he seemed not to pay attention to the bosses and chefs of the three famous buildings in Huaiyang. Ma Yun shook his head lightly, and said: "Although your cooking skills are superb, it's not so easy to pick all over Yangzhou City by yourself, right?" "If it's easy, why should I travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou? Since I made a bet, I'm naturally ready to lose." Jiang Shan turned to look at a woman behind him, "Go and get the things." The woman walked out of the back cabin, and soon brought in a brocade plate, which was covered with a piece of velvet cloth trimmed with gold thread, which looked quite expensive, and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Shan reached out and gently uncovered the flannel, only to see that there was a thread-bound book covered under the flannel.The book is about a finger thick, the cover has faded, and the pages are slightly yellowed, it looks like it should be old.However, although the color of the book is old, the overall shape is still intact. Obviously, the owner of the book has carefully preserved it. Jiang Shan looked at the book with love in his eyes.He flicked the writing with his fingers slowly, and said: "This is the complete recipe of the Dnei Manhan Banquet passed down from generation to generation by my Jiang family. "Monkey Brain" and other legendary dishes. This time I will stay in Yangzhou for about a week. During this week, if someone in Yangzhou City can beat me in cooking, I will give this cookbook to Yangzhou chefs boundary." "Man-Han Quanxi foot-book?" All the people present widened their eyes in astonishment.As we all know, the Man-Han Banquet is a grand banquet with both Man-Han flavors and delicacies. The scale is grand and noble, and the program is complicated. It takes a total of three days and six seats.There are more than 300 kinds of dishes in the banquet, all of which are extremely delicious and delicate. They not only have the characteristics of court dishes, but also have the essence of local flavors. The complete recipe of the world's number one banquet is naturally the number one recipe in the world.The Man-Han Banquet is well-known all over the world, and many dishes in the banquet are rare and wonderful works, such as "raw rats", which is to wrap three-day-old rats in dough rolls and eat them with honey sauce.Even at that time, few people knew the cooking method of such strange dishes. After a long time, today's swordsmen only know their names.And in this cookbook, even such dishes are included, which shows the breadth and depth of its content. It is no exaggeration to describe this cookbook as the highest textbook for swordsmen and the encyclopedia of the culinary world! It is only possible for Jiang Shan to have such a cookbook as the descendant of the chief chef of the Ouchi.And now, this cookbook might actually stay in Yangzhou!Several famous Yangzhou chefs present couldn't help jumping up in their hearts. Even Chen Chunsheng, who has always been rich and powerful, was looking at the old ancient book with red eyes at this moment, wishing he could snatch it right now. to hand. After all, Ma Yun is older and has rich experience. He stroked his beard and asked calmly: "If no one in Yangzhou can win you, what does Mr. Jiang want?" Ma Yun's words immediately calmed down the excited Chen Chunsheng and others: Since Jiang Shan used this precious cookbook as a bet, what he is looking for must be something extraordinary. I am afraid that this is his real purpose for coming to Yangzhou! Jiang Shan's eyes swept around the people around the table, and finally stopped on Uncle Xu. He cupped his hands at Uncle Xu and said, "Boss Xu, please forgive Jiang for being rude. If I win this bet, I'm going to take away the plaque of 'Firework March' hanging in the 'Yixiaotian' restaurant." Everyone's hearts sank, and Uncle Xu's face changed even more. Everyone knew what it would mean to lose the "Fireworks March" plaque. Although this plaque has been hung in the lobby of "Yixiaotian" restaurant for more than two hundred years, its significance and influence have long gone beyond the restaurant.The story behind this plaque is a legend in the entire Yangzhou culinary world. It tells people the achievements and brilliance that Yangzhou swordsmen have achieved, and it is also a symbol of the status of Huaiyang cuisine in the Chinese culinary world. It can be said that in the eyes of Yangzhou swordsmen, the value of this plaque is not inferior to that in Jiang Shan's hand!Jiang Shan raised this as a bet, which further highlights his ambition to challenge the entire Yangzhou culinary world on his own. But why did he do this? For a while, the cabin was silent. In the end, Jiang Shan was the first to break the silence: "I wonder if you are interested in taking this bet?" Chen Chunsheng looked at Ma Yun with some helplessness: "Mr. Ma, look at this matter..." Ma Yun sighed, and said to Uncle Xu: "Boss Xu, the plaque of 'Fireworks in March' is the property of your 'Yixiaotian' restaurant after all. It is up to you to decide whether you should fight or not this time." Uncle Xu gently turned the wine glass in front of him with his hands, his expression solemn.Although he had vaguely guessed that the purpose of Jiang Shan's trip would be related to the "Yi Xiao Tian" restaurant, he did not expect that the other party would come for the plaque of "Fireworks in March".这场赌局如果输了,“一笑天”酒楼两百多年积累的声誉便葬送在了自己的手中,但如果不应战,那自己等于又是代表了整个扬州厨界在对方面前俯首认输,这其中的轻重亦是非同小可。一时之间,的确是踌躇两难,无法决断。 马云看出了徐叔的心事,斟酌片刻,又说道:“徐老板,这担子是'一笑天'接下来,但事情却得有整个扬州厨界担着,这一点,你大可放心。” 马云这番话不仅是对徐叔的宽慰,其实也表明了自己的立场。话语虽然简短,但对徐叔来说,却像是往摇摆不定的天平一侧又加上了一个砝码,他端起酒杯,一口气饮完了杯中的酒,说道:“好吧,姜先生,我就代表扬州的厨界,接受你这个挑战。” 凌永生脱口叫了声“师父”,似乎想要说些什么,徐叔挥手打断了他。做完决定之后,他的心情反而放开了一些。他把身体往椅背上一靠,像是在对徒弟说话,但目光却看着姜山:“放心吧。'一笑天'享誉厨界两百多年,不会那么容易被人击垮的。” “好!”姜山拍了拍手,显得非常高兴,“赌局从明天开始,今天还请大家尽兴,来,我们同饮一杯吧。” 早有女子上前,为姜山斟满了酒。姜山把酒杯高高举起,神采飞扬,似乎那赌局虽未开始,但他已经稳操胜券一般。 徐叔和马云等人对视了一眼,然后轻轻摇了摇头:“要把酒言欢,还是等分出胜负之后吧。姜先生的这桌酒菜,我们现在还是消受不起啊。” 姜山放下酒杯,倒也并不气恼。他略一沉吟,淡然地说:“既然如此,那我也不便强留,诸位若想离去,姜某人自当恭送。” 言毕,他做了个手势,一旁的女子会意,走出了船舱。不一会儿,画舫轻摇,悠悠荡出了桥洞,向着岸边漂去。 画舫已靠岸。 刚才还高朋满座的船舱内,现在已冷清了很多,除了主人之外,就只剩沈飞和徐丽婕两人了。 沈飞还在吃,他手中的筷子好像一刻都没有停过。 “你不走吗?”姜山有些奇怪地看着沈飞。 沈飞瞪着姜山,显得比对方还要奇怪:“这里的菜还没吃完,我的肚子也还没被填饱,我为什么要走?” 沈飞的话说得简单直白,但又让人无法辩驳。姜山只好转过头来,问徐丽婕:“那你呢?也不走吗?” “我的胃口可没他那么大,我已经饱了。只是我们是一起来的,所以也要一起走。”徐丽婕一边说,一边笑吟吟地看着沈飞,似乎欣赏别人吃东西也是一种享受。 姜山挠挠头,憋了片刻,他终于忍不住问出了心中的疑惑:“你们为什么还会留在这里?难道你们对我一点都不讨厌吗?” “讨厌你?那怎么会?”沈飞美美地咂了口酒,“我们不请自来,白吃白喝,应该是你讨厌我们才对嘛。” “对刚才打赌的事情,你就没什么意见?” “你们赌你们的,与我有什么关系。你就是把那块匾劈成柴火块,我也一样当我的菜头,炸我的臭豆腐。”沈飞晃着脑袋,轻轻松松地说道。 姜山盯着沈飞,似乎像分辨出对方到底是真糊涂,还是在装糊涂。 可他却一点也看不出来,半分钟后,他放弃了,把话头再次转向徐丽婕:“那徐小姐是怎么看的?你可是徐叔的女儿。” 徐丽婕的回答干脆得很:“我也没意见,That's a fair play!” “什么?”沈飞有些茫然地抬起头,“说什么呢?洋屁吧?” 姜山笑了:“徐小姐说,这是一场公平的比试。” “哦,是不是那个'费厄泼赖',知道知道!小时候学过的一篇课文里有,是不是那个?” “嗯。”姜山点点头,“鲁迅先生的'论费厄泼赖应该缓行'。” 沈飞对自己的这个发现甚是得意,他哈哈地笑了两声,从盘中夹起一棵青翠欲滴的小菜心,送入了口中。突然,他似乎想起了什么,皱起眉头,轻轻叹了口气。 “怎么了,这菜有什么不妥吗?”姜山不解地看着沈飞。 “菜当然美味,只是这艘画舫一直停在岸边,看不到两岸变幻的月色美景,怎能不叫人遗憾呢。”沈飞一边说,一边愁眉苦脸地摇着头。 “哈哈,这还不容易?”姜山转过头,对这舱外高声叫了句,“开船!” 画舫离开岸边,开始沿着秀丽的瘦西湖迤逦前行。朦朦的夜色中,两岸垂柳依依,如同展开了一副浓浓的水墨画卷,连绵不绝,美不胜收。 在此醉人的美景前,一向喧闹的沈飞此刻也安静了下来,他凝目看着窗外,竟似有些神不守舍。徐丽婕更是沉醉其中,有时经过湖道细幽的秀丽之处,连眼睛也舍不得眨一下。良久之后,才听得她轻轻地赞叹:“太美了!” “阳春三月,月圆之夜。瘦西湖上一年中,也就这几个小时是最让人心醉的。”沈飞顿了一顿,似乎在回忆些什么,然后又说道,“这样的良辰美景,我也只经历过一次,那已经是好多年之前了。” 姜山微微一笑:“如果我没有猜错,应该是和某个女孩一块吧?” 听到这话,徐丽婕绕有兴趣地移目看向沈飞,沈飞仍然全神贯注地盯着窗外,笑而不答。 此刻夜色寂静,船头哗哗的打水声隐隐传来,间或夹着一两声虫鸣鸟语。三人默默地倾听,那声音传入耳中后,如同有一种清泉般的感觉流遍全身,所有的疲倦和浮躁在这一刻似乎都被洗去了。 画舫从五亭桥往东行了约里许地,拐过一个湖道岔口,前方的水域豁然开朗。瘦西湖以“痩”闻名天下,说是湖,其实大部分水域体形狭长,倒更像是河流,唯有此处水面广阔,确实有了“湖”的感觉。画舫到了湖面中心,风明显大了起来,吹得船舱两侧的舷窗沙沙作响。 沈飞自斟自饮,算起来已有二三两白酒进了腹中,此时面孔微微发红,已经有了些醉意。听到风声作响,一时性起,口中嚷着:“好风,好风!”站起身来,向着船舱外走去。 姜山笑着看了一眼:“我们也出去透透气吧?” 徐丽婕欣然点头,两人跟在沈飞身后,也来到了船头。只见四周的湖面与月光相映,泛起一片磷磷的银色。三人静静伫立,衣襟被清风带起,轻轻摩挲着肌肤,耳畔则是水声潺潺,幽绵不绝,霎时间只觉得神清气爽,疑似到了仙境龙宫一般。 忽然间徐丽婕手指着左侧前方的不远处,“咦”了一声,问道:“你们看,那是什么地方?” 沈飞和姜山顺势看去,只见一条三米多宽的石廊从岸边延伸出来,插入湖心约四五十米。石廊尽头是一座精致的小亭,黑顶黄墙,窈窈临水而立,透出一股奇妙的韵味。 “哦,那是瘦西湖上的一处名景,叫做钓鱼台。”姜山向徐丽婕解释到。 “钓鱼台?为了钓鱼,专门到湖中心建起这么个亭子,可真够闲心的。” “这座亭子可小看不得。第一,当初它是为了供乾隆皇帝休息和垂钓所建,第二,它还是中国古典建筑中极具成就的一个典范之作。” “是吗?”徐丽婕瞪着眼睛对着那亭子又端详了片刻,只是远远看去,亭子虽然漂亮,但比起一路看来的那些楼榭水阁,似乎也没有什么特别之处。 “你把眼睛瞪破了也没有用。”沈飞笑嘻嘻地说,“只有站在亭中,你才能发现它巧妙的地方。” “不错,徐小姐如果有兴趣,我们不妨停船靠岸,到那亭子里小坐片刻。” “好啊。”徐丽婕被勾起了兴趣,立刻对姜山的提议表示赞同。 画舫悠悠,在石廊边靠岸停下,一行人下了船,信步来到亭中。那亭成四方形,重檐斗角黄墙,面东装木刻缕空落地罩阁门,濒湖的三面则各开有圆形的门洞。此时随行的女子从船上搬下了瓷凳,供三人坐下休息。徐丽婕刚才听了沈飞的话,原以为亭中的构筑一定会有什么非同寻常的地方,谁知这里面竟是空空如也,连石桌石凳也没有一张。 姜山看出徐丽婕心中的疑惑,冲沈飞笑了笑,说道:“飞哥,你是土生土长的扬州人,这亭中的奥妙就由你来解释吧。” “那好吧。”沈飞也不推辞,直咧咧地说,“大小姐,你坐在这里,分别从西侧和南侧的门洞往外看,看看能发现什么?” 徐丽婕依言而行,只分别看了一眼,便兴奋地说道:“啊,刚才的五亭桥正好出现在西侧门洞的正中,南侧的门洞里则可以看见一座高塔。” “那座塔也是瘦西湖畔一个著名的景点,叫做白塔。” 虽然是夜晚,但在明媚的月色下依稀可以看得出,那塔果然是通身一片洁白。 等徐丽婕把目光收回,沈飞又继续说道:“五亭桥、白塔、钓鱼台。关于这三个景点,有一个有趣的故事。相传当年乾隆皇帝南巡时,要来瘦西湖观景,扬州的盐商们当然就绞尽脑汁,想要拍一拍乾隆爷的马屁。其中两个最有钱的盐商就分别修建了这白塔和五亭桥,希望能以此博得乾隆爷的青睐。还有一个盐商呢,他没那么多的钱。于是就在这里建了一座钓鱼台,然后领着乾隆爷到亭中休息。乾隆爷往这儿一坐:哇,这边能看见白塔,这边能看见五亭桥,两处美景统统收入眼底。妙!来人哪,赏!于是这个盐商从此发达了。所以说,这座小亭子本身并不出奇,奇的是它能够以门借景,成为我国造园技艺中运用借景的杰出范例。” “原来是这样,有意思!”徐丽婕高兴地拍着手,“最后的这个盐商才是真正的构思精巧,摸透了乾隆爷的心。” “不错,这就是所谓的匠心了。这样的道理其实同样也可以用在做菜中,比如姜先生刚才的那桌'春江花月宴',借景入菜,也称得上是烹饪技艺中的典范了。” “'典范'两个字不敢当。不过这桌'春江花月宴'确实是我最得意的作品。”姜山与沈飞虽然地位悬殊,相处时间也不长,但几番交流之后,却大有知己的感觉。距离拉近了之后,说起话来也就没有多余的客套和顾虑,“你们知道吗,在北京,如果想要吃我做的这桌菜,那可得提前一个月预定。” “是吗?嘿嘿,那我可真有口福啊。”沈飞摸着下巴,一副心满意足的表情,似乎还在回味不久前的那顿大餐,“不过我也不能白吃,得回请你。” “哦,我猜猜,飞哥要请客,自然是用名满扬州的炸臭豆腐干了?” 徐丽婕笑嘻嘻地插话:“沈飞炸的臭豆腐干我吃过,味道棒极了!” 沈飞冲徐丽婕竖起了大拇指,一本正经地点着头:“有品味!” “好!那我明天就去尝尝飞哥的炸臭豆腐干!” 三人相视而笑,小亭内一派其乐融融的祥和气氛,那个关系到“一笑天”乃至整个扬州厨界命运的赌局在这一刻似乎真的与他们无关了。 此时在另一处的几个人,满脑子想的却这个赌局。 “一笑天”酒楼的大堂内,“烟花三月”牌匾高高悬挂,如果它有灵性,此刻是否也在为自己未来的命运而担心呢? 掌握它命运的,看来便是下面圆桌前围坐着的那几个人。 徐叔、马云、陈春生、凌永生、孙友峰、彭辉,这几个昔日在扬州厨界叱咤风云的人物,现在却全都紧锁着眉头,脸上写满了忧虑。 如果你现在也坐在这个大堂里,你一定会很想逃出去。因为这里的气氛,凝重得几乎要让人窒息! 厨界本来就是一个小小的江湖,刀客间互相挑战,原本是一件稀松平常的事情。作为淮扬名楼之首的“一笑天”,每年便会接到这样的挑战不下十数次。每当面临这样的挑战,徐叔都会带领所有的后厨刀客认真准备,商量对策,因为他知道,敢来到“一笑天”的,绝不会是泛泛之辈。正因为始终保持着这样的良好心态,所以“一笑天”的招牌才会历经风雨,却始终屹立不倒。 当然,那些从铩羽而归的刀客们,无一不承认:“一笑天”酒楼确实具有强不可撼的后厨实力! 可这一次,形势却好像完全倒转了过来。 作为总领御厨之后的姜山,不仅在厨艺上令人感到难以逾越,更可怕的是,他显然为这次比试已做好极为充分的准备。面对这样一个对手,你几乎没有战胜他的可能。 好在几乎没有,并不代表绝对没有。 “除非当年的'一刀鲜'出山,我想不出扬州城内还有谁能有战胜姜山的把握。” 说这句话的人是马云,他是扬州厨界里人人尊敬的元老名宿。可即使是他,在提到“一刀鲜”这个名字时,脸上也充满了景仰和尊敬。 可以用山峰做如下的比喻。有些山峰虽然高耸,但你在感慨其雄伟的同时,也会被激发起往上攀登的豪气,你梦想着有一天站在这座山峰之巅的时候,那会是一种多么美妙的感觉? 可另有一些山峰,它峭壁巍峨,直插云霄!甚至你把头仰到最大的角度,也无法看到其顶端究竟在何处。面对这样的山峰,你根本无法也不敢想象那种伫立山巅的感觉,在它的脚下,你能体会到的只有崇拜! 在厨界中,“一刀鲜”三个字,便是这样的一座高不可攀的山峰,是两百多年来流传的一个神话。所有的刀客都只能用尊敬的眼神远远地看着他的背影,不敢有任何追赶和超越的野心! 即使在见识了姜山的巅妙厨艺之后,仍然不会有人怀疑:只要“一刀鲜”能够出马,姜山也只能败下阵来。 “可是'一刀鲜'已经销声匿迹三十多年了,现在上哪里去找他?”徐叔叹着气说道。 一个人如果三十多年都没有消息,那他是否仍在人世只怕都要打上一个大大的问号。 陈春生忽然冒出一句:“不是三十多年,是八年。” “什么?”众人立刻都把疑惑的目光投到他的身上。 “我最近在北京认识了一些烹饪界的朋友。据他们说,'一刀鲜'曾在八年前出现在北京,而且他当时在北京所做的事情,比现在姜山在扬州还要风光十倍。” “那他都做了些什么?”凌永生久在“一笑天”,以前便经常听徐叔讲述“一刀鲜”当年的种种传闻轶事,早已把对方当作了自己崇拜的偶像,此时听说有“一刀鲜”最近的消息,立刻满脸神往,迫不及待地追问。 “八年前,'一刀鲜'独身一人来到京城,浑身上下,除了一柄厨刀外,别无它物。他就凭着这柄厨刀,一个月内足迹遍布京城所有知名酒楼的后厨,在与近百名成名刀客的较量中,无一败绩。据说,当时所有的比试都是一边倒的局势,偌大的北京城,竟无人可与他真正一战。最多的时候,他一天就横扫了十一家酒楼;而最快的一场比试,他只挥动了一下厨刀,便让对方主动认输。”陈春生说这些话的时候,满脸都发着红光,似乎这些辉煌的业绩都是自己完成的一样。 在场的众人想象着“一刀鲜”横扫京城的那种豪气,无不如醉如痴。要知道,能在北京的大酒楼里混饭吃的刀客,无一不是技艺超群的实力派人物,“一刀鲜”能在其中叱咤纵横,如入无人之境,他在烹饪上的造诣,只能用“深不可测”四个字来形容了。而在这种顶尖的较量之内,只挥一刀便决出胜负,更是让人匪夷所思。 马云忽然想到了一个问题,不解地问道:“可他做出了这么大的事情,怎么会没有传开呢?” “那是因为他在大获全胜之后,忽然间音讯全无,因此此事也就在北京城里闹腾了一阵,后来也就慢慢平息了。” “出手一击便势如破竹,却又在最高峰时遏然隐退,果然是高人风采啊。”马云情不自禁地赞叹着。 “那后来他去了哪里?”徐叔倒是对现实的问题最为关心。 “据说是回到了扬州,但具体的行踪没有人知道。” “只要他还在扬州,那事情就好办了。”马云一边思索,一边说道,“只要多派人手,把今天打赌的事情在市井闲人中广为传播。如果他听说了,应该自己就会出来。” “不错,这倒是个方法。”有了寻找“一刀鲜”的希望,徐叔脸上的愁云立刻扫却了很多,心里似乎也有了底。他想了一会,又说:“赌局的时间是一个星期,我们也不能把希望都押在一个地方,自己也得有所准备。姜山虽然厉害,但也不至于就到了无法战胜的地步。他毕竟是一个人,不可能面面俱到,如果能找到他的弱点,就不怕没有对付他的方法。” 马云听了徐叔的这番话,捋着胡须,轻轻点了点头,然后笑着说:“徐老板这么一说,我倒忽然想起三个人来,也许这次能够派上用场。” “哦?哪三个人?”徐叔往前探了探身子,目不转睛地看着马云。 “城南'妙味居'的朱晓华,城北'福寿楼'的李冬,城西'水华轩'的金宜英。” 听马云说出这三个人的名字,徐叔和陈春生对看了一眼,忽然间目光都是为之一亮!
