Sure enough, as Ao Tianlong said, all the shops closed their doors early the next afternoon, and then many people carried tables, chairs and benches and set up on the street. With the strength of the people, the whole town was filled in a short time.
Then there are tableware, bowls and chopsticks, lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and fireworks and firecrackers hung everywhere. Everyone’s faces are filled with smiles, and it’s more lively than the Chinese New Year.
At around five o'clock in the evening, before it gets dark, the whole town is filled with the aroma of various delicacies and the drowsy aroma of wine. All the inns and hotels in the town open their kitchen doors and are cooking in full swing.
, make people salivate.
"smell good."
Luo Sang twitched his little nose and said, "Master, why are their fried dishes so fragrant?"
"Yeah, what kind of spices are used, my appetite has been aroused."
Zhuge Kongping rubbed his belly and said.
Feng Yi was also curious. His sense of smell was quite sensitive, but he had never smelled such a fragrance.
Just then, Ao Tianlong and Xiao Shuang walked towards their inn. Feng Yi led everyone to greet them: "Uncle Tianlong, Junior Sister Xiaoshuang."
"It's almost time, we should set off."
Ao Tianlong said with a smile.
"good."
Feng Yi asked as he walked: "Is it true that Uncle Dagui is not coming?"
Ao Tianlong smiled and said: "No one invited him. He is so proud, so naturally he won't come.
But there is also a banquet in front of their store, so you have to ask yourself whether he will come out."
What he said was interesting, and others also smiled when they thought of the scene where Dagui was cursing and eating meat.
"Uncle Master, what spices are used in Wosonggang stir-fry? The stir-fried dishes are so fragrant?"
Seeing that the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, Feng Yi couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know that either."
Ao Tianlong shook his head and said: "But the Huo family does overseas business, maybe they bought it from foreigners."
"Really, foreigners rarely cook except for Western food, do they need to add spices?"
Number One, who often goes abroad, frowned.
Feng Yi also has a similar view. When it comes to food, China is still the best, and it is not enough abroad.
Besides, even in the 21st century, Feng Yi had never heard of such a fragrant condiment.
Is it because I am too poor that I have never heard of it?
Sure enough, you can’t imagine the life of rich people...
Putting aside their curiosity about this spice for the time being, under the leadership of Ao Tianlong, a few people walked towards Zhai's house.
The Zhai family is indeed a big family with a century-old heritage. They have built a three-story building with an area of several hundred in a prime location in this town!
There is a rockery garden in the courtyard, with gurgling water, shady trees, and fragrant flowers and plants. It looks like a small villa abroad.
Zhuge Kongping's home in Longcheng is not small. Compared with this place, it is like the sky or the earth.
"Tsk, tsk, you are so rich. The rocks in this mountain are all fine and rare stones, and every tree and flower is of rare species."
The first hero shook his head: "It looks better than a foreigner's house."
There were many servants and maids in the yard, and they were all in a hurry and very busy.
"It's strange, it's really strange. Even though the courtyard is so well built, the clothes on the maids and servants are very ordinary."
Madonna looked curious.
"You don't have to worry too much. The Zhai family is only prosperous in this house, but everything else is very simple. It doesn't matter whether it's the Zhai family or the servants of the Zhai family."
Ao Tianlong explained with a smile.
"I see."
When a smiling man of about forty years old came towards them, Ao Tianlong whispered: "This is the housekeeper of the Zhai Mansion and a distant relative of theirs. His name is Lu Chengming. He is trusted by the Zhai family."
"Master Tianlong, it's really brilliant that you can bring so many masters to our Zhai Mansion to attend the old lady's 100th birthday banquet. I can't thank you enough."
Lu Chengming can be the chief steward of the Zhai Mansion, and he is unique in how he treats people and treats people. His words make everyone look good.
"No, no, as long as Mr. Zhai doesn't think Tianlong is rude."
Ao Tianlong clasped his hands and smiled.
"You can tell by looking at your strong figure and restrained aura that you are extraordinary. It is an honor for our Zhai Mansion. Several of you, please come in."
From time to time, people came in with things. Lu Chengming couldn't just entertain a few of them, but quickly welcomed a few people in.
There are several tables at the entrance of the main hall. One table contains various beautifully packaged gifts, and the other table has one person taking notes and one person responsible for asking questions and singing.
Several people were well prepared, and most of the gifts they gave were items to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, because together with Ao Tianlong, these two people paid great attention to it, carefully placed the gifts, and said a lot of auspicious words.
Walking into the main hall of the Zhai Mansion, one feels even more magnificent. Even everyone who is well-informed is still intimidated by the luxury of the Zhai Mansion.
There were a total of five tables in the room, and in the middle were naturally the Zhai family and the most prominent people in the town. The other tables were also filled with wealthy squires. Ao Tianlong’s table was right next to the middle table, which showed that the Zhai family had a strong relationship with each other.
His attention.
The entire Zhai Mansion was filled with a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed and energetic, and also dispelled Feng Yi's worries.
If the Zhai Mansion had done absolutely nothing evil, it would never be so peaceful and peaceful. I guess those things had nothing to do with them.
As the auspicious time came closer and closer, more and more people were in the main hall, which was very lively. From time to time, people came over to say hello to Ao Tianlong and his daughter. It seemed that Ao Tianlong's reputation here was indeed very high.
"Master Zhai is here."
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, and Feng Yi and others all looked up.
Mr. Zhai looks to be about fifty years old, with a fair face and no beard, neither fat nor thin, and a smile on his face. He looks very elegant and gentle.
Along the way, he kept thanking everyone with his hands, and his attitude was very gentle, which made people feel good.
"Master Ao Tianlong, these are your close friends in the spiritual world. It is really an honor for Zhai that you can come."
Master Zhai took the initiative to come over and said after greeting the others.
"Master Zhai is so kind. Of course I want to attend the old lady's 100th birthday party."
Ao Tianlong also stood up and smiled.
"Several friends who have come from afar are really busy today. Please bear with me if I didn't greet you well. I will definitely treat a few of them to a separate banquet the next day to apologize."
Mr. Zhai bowed his hands to everyone and apologized.
"Master Zhai, you're welcome."
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. The other person is so considerate and polite that Feng Yi and others naturally don't even dare to say so.
When Mr. Zhai went to greet the others, the first hero couldn't help but sigh: "We have a lot of wealth but not the slightest bit of dominance. The Zhai family is really powerful."
"Yeah, everyone takes such good care of me, it's amazing."
Zhuge Kongping nodded repeatedly.
Feng Yi also had a good impression of the Zhai Mansion. It seemed that the Zhai Mansion knew that it was easy to start a business but difficult to keep it, so they were so low-key and simple, so that they could be passed down for hundreds of years. Uncle Dagui was indeed biased against them.
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, someone shouted loudly: "Mrs. Zhai is here!"
With a crash, all the guests stood up. Feng Yi and others turned to look around. Their expressions changed when they saw the old lady's appearance clearly.
…
[Author's digression]: Hmm... it's a bit stuck, and the subsequent ideas are too complicated, I have to sort it out.
