Huaiyu took a boat from the Yulin Naval Camp and headed north, returning to Guangzhou.
March in Guangzhou is not as hot as Luhuitou in Zhenzhou. It is a comfortable season and the Guangzhou Port terminal is busy.
The Maritime Silk Road has become more prosperous as the central court of the Tang Dynasty strengthened its control over Lingnan, and Guangzhou has become the most exciting stop on this Maritime Silk Road.
Brother Wu Huaiyi specially came to the pier to greet him.
Guangzhou Governor Shi Wangda and Sima Chensheng also came, as did the fat man Wu Junya who was the envoy of Lingnan Road.
There was a large group of people following behind.
Huaiyu got off the boat and the brothers embraced each other.
"Dark." Huaiyi looked at him and said with a smile.
"At the southern end of Yazhou Island, it's like midsummer during the Chinese New Year. You swim in the sea and bask in the sun every day. Of course, you get dark due to the wind and sun."
"It's very cold in Guangzhou during the Chinese New Year. Although the winter in Guangzhou is already very warm compared to Chang'an, I never imagined that it would be so hot there during the Chinese New Year."
The two brothers smiled, and a group of civil servants, military officers, local celebrities and local celebrities came to greet them and say hello.
There are many familiar faces, but also many unfamiliar ones.
"I have prepared a banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust,"
"You're not eating seafood, are you? I've been eating seafood every day for a while and I'm tired of it."
"I don't eat seafood. The Jingzhao Wei family has opened a very large restaurant in Guangzhou. The main signature is the Shao Wei Banquet. The whole banquet has fifty-eight dishes, including cold dishes, hot stir-fries, barbecues, soups, desserts and noodles.
Everything is available,”
Huaiyu laughed when he heard about the Wei family's tail-burning feast.
The tail-burning banquet is one of the famous banquets in Chang'an. It was originally held to celebrate the admission of scholars. Legend has it that if a carp jumps over the dragon gate, its tail must be burned by heavenly fire to transform into a dragon.
Later, when officials were promoted, they also held tail-burning banquets. Colleagues, relatives and friends came to congratulate and host banquets. Later, when court officials were promoted, they held tail-burning banquets at home to honor the emperor.
This tail-burning banquet has also become more and more famous from an ordinary banquet.
Especially under the promotion of some powerful people, the Shaowei Banquet has been brought to a higher level and brought together the essence of cooking.
The Wei family's Shaowei Banquet is the most famous among the Shaowei Banquets. Their family even opened a number of high-end restaurants. Their main signature is the Shaowei Banquet. They can host banquets for scholars or officials to be promoted, or they can be served directly at your door.
Dishes service.
Wu Huaiyu's return to Guangzhou this time was to return from a tour of the province, not for a promotion.
But Huaiyi also knew that his brother might miss the food of his hometown after being away for a long time, so he specially arranged this reception banquet in the Wei family restaurant.
The chef of Weijia Restaurant was brought from Chang'an, and the entire back kitchen was from Chang'an.
Jingzhao Weishi is one of the six surnames in Guanzhong, and is even the first of the six surnames.
Huaiyu is also related to the Wei family. Huaiyu's eldest daughter Yingluo is the tenth prince born to Concubine Wei, and Concubine Wei's cousin Wei Zhaoyi's brother Wei Siren is also a good friend of Huaiyu.
The restaurant owner welcomed them into the restaurant very warmly.
"Shopkeeper, what are the dishes for today's roast tail banquet?"
"Fifty-eight dishes, including cold cuts such as Wuxing braised fish, hot stir-fried dishes such as Guxun sauce, barbecue dishes such as Guangming Shrimp Grill, Jinling Grill, etc., as well as sweet snacks such as Ju Sheng Nu, Imperial Concubine Red, Han Palace Chess, and Tianxue,"
Huaiyu smiled and said, "Who doesn't know Jingzhao Wei's tail-burning banquet? It was a banquet to thank the emperor and was highly praised by the saint."
In fact, Wu Huaiyu, the Wei family's braised tail banquet, had eaten it more than once, and was very impressed by the dishes. The Wu Xing with bream was a sashimi dish.
Guangming shrimp roast is actually grilled shrimp, Quxun sauce is fish, mutton is stir-fried, Jushengnu is dense dumplings, Guifeihong is flavored red puff pastry, Bailong Yao is made from repeatedly hammered shredded mandarin fish, Royal Yellow King
Moten is a rice bowl made with meat, chicken, eggs, etc...
The sheepskin filament is fried shredded mutton, the little Tiansu is fried chicken and deer, and the chopstick head spring is roasted quail...
The restaurant was well prepared and moved quickly.
After sitting down, the pot of tea was not finished before the dishes started to be served.
The delicious food is displayed, the dishes are overlapping, and the fifty-eight dishes are not the same.
It’s truly full of color, flavor and taste.
There are even many dishes on the table for decoration and viewing. One of them is a vegetarian steamed sound part, which uses vegetarian vegetables and steamed noodles to make a group of Penglai fairy-like singing girls and dancers. There are seventy pieces in one set.
For brothers Wu Huaiyu, Wu Huaiyi, and Wu Junya, these are not surprising.
Shi Wangda, the governor of Guangfu, was the son of the Duke of Yue, and Sima Chensheng also served as Li Erlang's companion at Li Jing's house in his early years, so he was not surprised by this.
But for the rest of the people, especially those officers and generals who were born in Lingnan, this Webster's tail roasting banquet was enough to make them stunned.
They dare not take off their chopsticks when faced with those exquisite dishes.
Some people even think that those vegetables are edible.
Guangzhou's envoy Zhang Fuguo smiled and raised his glass to Huaiyu. Zhang Ananda's adopted son, Fan Xuanfu, even called him uncle.
"Speaking of this Webster's roasted tail banquet, it is indeed exquisite in everything, and it is a rare delicacy. However, who in Chang'an doesn't know that when it comes to roasted tail banquets, the number one one is from the Wuxiang family.
Wei's Shao Tai Banquet has fifty-eight dishes, while Wu Xiang's Shao Tai Banquet has a full 108 dishes. His Majesty went to Wei's house to eat Shao Tai Banquet three times, but it is said that he ate it seven times at Wu Xiang's house.
."
As soon as the eunuch said this, everyone in the restaurant was even more shocked.
The Wei family's fifty-eight-course roasted tail banquet was so amazing. The Wu family's one hundred and eight-course roasted tail banquet was so shocking. What's more, the emperor also ate the Wu family's roasted tail banquet seven times?
This at least means that the Wu family was promoted seven times, and then there was a banquet to thank the emperor.
Huaiyu waved his hand.
Many dignitaries in Chang'an really like ostentation and hold various banquets every year, not only to maintain personal connections but also to show their strength.
The Wei family prepared a lot of famous wines today, including Xinfeng wine, Jiannanchun, Sangluo wine, Shijongchun, etc., as well as Lingnan's local Lingxichun and Luofu wines.
Huaiyu chose Lingxichun, poured a glass of wine, and raised his glass.
Everyone also raised their glasses.
This Fengfeng Banquet was very lively,
Wu Huaiyu spent more than half a year touring Lingnan, but he only visited some of the ninety-six prefectures.
But in general, it has been more than a year since he left Beijing at the end of last year, and now in March, the situation in Lingnan has generally stabilized, and the most dangerous period has passed.
In the invisible darkness, various compromises and deals have been reached, and Lingnan has become increasingly stable and stable.
I didn’t drink much Huaiyu wine at the dinner.
Given his current status, no one dares to persuade him.
After the banquet was over, Huaiyu made an appointment to have a detailed chat with Huaiyi and the others tomorrow, and went to the manor first.
During the more than half a year that Forrestal has been in Guangzhou, she not only opened a branch of Forrestal here, but also built a beautiful large house in the city, and even built a manor outside the city.
Because she was about to give birth, Forresta waited for him at the manor outside the city.
As soon as Huaiyu came back, she came to welcome him with a full belly. She had been waiting for him.
"Prepare a hangover tea for A Lang."
"I haven't had a few drinks," Huaiyu came up to him with a smile. Forresta's belly was surprisingly big. They had just chatted for a few words when they suddenly touched her belly and screamed.
