<> When Wang Xian returned to Qingzhou City, it was already dark. Tang Tiande’s personal captain, Lao Li, was already waiting at the door. He took Wang Xian’s horse rein and said with a smile: "Sir, you are back. The elder is waiting for you to have dinner.
.”
"Oh, what a sin!" Wang Xian was flattered when he heard this. He quickly got off his horse and followed Lao Li to the dining room.
"I, Lao Li, have been with the elder for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such courtesy from Mr. Li!" Lao Li said with a smile on his face: "Sir, Mr. Li has made a great success, so you have to take good care of me, Lao Li."
"Everywhere, take care of each other." Wang Xian responded to Lao Li and stepped into the brightly lit dining room. Sure enough, he saw Tang Tiande sitting at the dining table with a smile on his face. There was only tea and snacks on the table, and the dinner was obviously not started. When he saw Wang Xian, Tang Tiande
Then he smiled and said: "Sir, you're back. Sit down quickly and let's eat quickly!"
"It is a sin to keep the elder waiting for a long time." Wang Xian apologized hurriedly: "If I knew that the elder was waiting, the student would have returned early!"
"Hey, sir, I'm going to see my old master off. How can I stop you?" Tang Tiande shook his head and said with a smile: "It took so long to see off your old master, which shows how righteous you are! I only have respect in my heart, not any displeasure!" He pointed to the seat next to him and said.
: "Sit down quickly!"
Wang Xian thanked him and sat down. The maid brought a white towel to the basin and asked him to wash his hands. At this time, a waiter carried a tray and brought out steaming meals. In a blink of an eye, the table was set.
Elder Tang did not speak, but looked at Wang Xian with a smile. Wang Xian's expression first changed from calmness to surprise, and then from surprise to excitement!
Then, Wang Xian suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Elder Tang, tears clearly welling up in his eyes...
Elder Tang was very satisfied with his reaction. He smiled and helped Wang Xian up and said, "Sir, you don't have to be like this. Although this table of Huaiyang dishes is difficult to buy, I can afford it!"
It turned out that what was on the table was stewed crab meat and lion's head, soft pocket long fish, Wensi tofu, three sets of duck, crystal meat, etc., all famous Huaiyang dishes!
"Elder, student, student, I don't know what to do anymore..." Wang Xian wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves excitedly, but under the cover of his sleeves, his expression suddenly became serious! During the night talk yesterday, Elder Tang looked like
As usual, he asked about his life experience. Wang Xian knew that this was not just a casual chat, but a background check on himself.
At that time, Wang Xian didn't care too much, because Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong had asked about it before, so he told them twice, such as "Yangzhou people's family", "Budi Juzi", "Wei Jianwen was implicated" and so on
He told Elder Tang what he said. Unexpectedly, just one day later, Elder Tang prepared this table of 'hometown food' for himself!
No matter what Tang Tiande's intentions were, just this carefulness was enough to make Wang Xian be more vigilant and remind himself that now he was not dealing with rough guys like Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong, but with a sophisticated old fox!
When Wang Xian put down his arms, his face was filled with tears of gratitude.
"Sir, please eat quickly. It won't look good when it gets cold..." Tang Tiande greeted Wang Xian with a smile.
"Then, students should be respectful rather than obey orders." Wang Xian bowed his hand to Tang Tiande, scooped a spoonful of Wensi tofu and put it into his mouth. After being intoxicated for a long time, he sighed: "What an authentic Wensi tofu, what a skilled knife, no twenty
With years of skill, I'm afraid I can't cut such shredded tofu!" He asked curiously: "Where did the elder invite the famous chef?"
"It just so happens that my chef, Master Zhang, is from Yangzhou." Elder Tang said with a smile: "I heard today that my husband is his fellow countryman, so he specially used his housekeeping skills, which I can't usually eat.
!”
"Oh?" Wang Xian's heart tightened again, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he said without hesitation: "Then we must meet!"
"Of course, sir, even if you don't tell me, I still want to introduce you." Elder Tang said to Lao Li on the side: "Let Lao Zhang come over."
Lao Li took the order and left. Elder Tang smiled and advised Wang Xian: "Sir, don't stop, eat quickly, eat quickly!"
"Elder, please use more." Wang Xian smiled and nodded. He picked up a chopstick for each dish and looked intoxicated while eating. But in fact, he didn't care about tasting the delicious Huaiyang cuisine at all. He focused all his attention on it.
In preparation for the next test!
Yes, this sudden appearance of Chef Zhang must have been used by Elder Tang to test the authenticity of his identity! If Wang Xian hadn't been more vigilant, he would really be sorry for those dead brothers!
During the tea time, a chubby middle-aged cook came in with a soup pot, a smile on his face, and apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm waiting for the pufferfish soup, but I'm late!"
"What, puffer fish soup?" Elder Tang changed his color after hearing this: "This thing will eat people to death!"
"Hey, if the elder doesn't eat, will Mr. Hei eat?" Chef Zhang turned to Wang Xian and spoke in Yangzhou dialect.
"Eat! Of course! How can there be any Yangzhou people who dare not eat puffer fish!" Wang Xian said without hesitation, speaking in authentic Yangzhou Mandarin!
Elder Tang listened blankly, feeling that Wang Xian and Chef Zhang's accents should be the same, but he still looked at Chef Zhang uncertainly. Chef Zhang nodded imperceptibly, indicating that there was no problem.
Chef Zhang opened the soup can, filled a bowl of fish soup, scooped out a lot of fish meat, and brought it to Wang Xian with a playful smile. Wang Xian said with a smile in Yangzhou dialect: "One white, two skins, three soups and four meats. What?
, is it possible that the chef is reluctant to give me the fish skin?"
Chef Zhang smiled sheepishly and said, "Sir, you are indeed an expert." He scooped out another bowl of fish with white fish skin for Wang Xian. Wang Xian didn't hesitate at all, so he immediately picked up the bowl and tasted it carefully.
While eating it, he shook his head exaggeratedly and said: "Fresh! It's really fresh! It's so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off!"
Chef Zhang looked at Elder Tang again and nodded slightly. At this time, in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one dared to eat pufferfish anywhere except Yangzhou, because only Yangzhou cooks could cook pufferfish! Wang Xian was so good at eating, he should be
There is no doubt that it belongs to a wealthy family in Yangzhou.
As everyone knows, Wang Xian just determined that Elder Tang would not poison him to death now and risk his life, and he would definitely not expose the secret!
But having said that, this puffer fish is really delicious! It can be said to be the best food he has ever tasted in his life! And with the stimulation of violent heartbeat, it is really hard to stop, so Wang Xian can only say: "Come again
bowl!"
Chef Zhang smiled and served Wang Xian another bowl. Elder Tang asked Chef Zhang to sit down as well. Chef Zhang thanked him and willingly sat at the bottom of the table.
Mr. Hei drank the puffer fish soup and drank a lot of yellow soup. He was so excited! He took Chef Zhang's arm and took the initiative to chat with him in Yangzhou dialect. This Yangzhou dialect is the model of Huaiyang Mandarin in the Ming Dynasty. Wang
If Xian Neng speaks authentic Huaiyang Mandarin, he has the foundation to speak Yangzhou dialect well. Moreover, he and Dai Hua have adjusted the subtleties of the intonation in place, and it is more than enough to pretend to be a Yangzhou native who has been away from home for more than ten years!
Even the most difficult to fake local accents can be learned vividly. As for Yangzhou's customs, customs and old streets, Wang Xian can't even mention it! That chef Zhang and Wang Xian went around and around, and Wang Xian was able to learn all aspects of Yangzhou.
The answers were fluent and he was able to cope with them with ease. Elder Tang put his heart back in his stomach and smiled at the two of them: "You two are talking so lively. Could it be that we know each other before?"
"How can a villain know Mr. Hei?" Chef Zhang shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Twenty years ago, the Hei family was a well-known large family in our Yangzhou. Poems and books were passed down from generation to generation, and there were eight Jinshi flags at the door! Sorry.
No way!"
"Hey, it's six noodles," Wang Xian drank a lot of wine, his face was red, his ears were red, and his mouth was rude. He counted them one by one with his fingers. Starting from his grandfather, uncle, cousin, and all the way to his third brother!
"Speaking of Third Master, I'm really lucky to have met him several times!" Chef Zhang suddenly interjected: "I was working as a cook at Cuiwei Building in Yangzhou, and Third Master would come over for dinner sometimes. How dignified Third Master is in life!
He is tall, has a high nose, and a pair of dark and thick eyebrows! Only a villain can remember until now..." After saying that, Chef Zhang stared at Wang Xian.
"Hey, you got the wrong person," Wang Xian drunkenly shook his head and said, "My third brother is not a tall man, he's not..." After saying that, he flopped down on the table and passed away drunk!
"Mr. Hei, sir..." Chef Zhang poked Wang Xian, but when he saw no response, he said to Elder Tang: "Mr. Hei is drunk."
"Help Mr. go and have a rest." Elder Tang nodded and said to Lao Li.
After Lao Li helped Wang Xian down and the servants removed the banquet and replaced it with tea, Elder Tang slowly asked Chef Zhang: "Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
Chef Zhang's eyes were introverted at the moment, his temples were bulging so high, and he didn't look like a chef at all! He stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Elder, I can be sure that what he said is all the truth!" After a pause, he said: "
Apart from anything else, I have indeed seen the third master of the Hei family. He is a naughty boy, and the Hei family does only have six Jinshi flags..."
"Yes." Elder Tang nodded. This man named Zhang was actually a policeman in Yangzhou City. Later, he committed a crime and was sent to Shandong. By chance, he met Elder Tang and followed him. Elder Tang was very happy.
I believe in Zhang Baotou’s sharp moves, not to mention that Zhang Baotou is a native of Yangzhou.
"I'm relieved now," Elder Tang looked at Mr. Zhang with a relieved smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but you have to be careful in the future. It won't be good if he sees the flaw."
"Hehe, who asked my subordinates to tie themselves up and pretend to be a cook..." Zhang Captou shook his head and smiled bitterly...
After carrying Wang Xian back to the room and settling him on the bed, everyone left.
As soon as the door closed, Wang Xian opened his eyes and gasped for breath. It was so thrilling just now - he could explain every street in Yangzhou. That's because he accompanied the prince on an inspection in Yangzhou. He
It can be said that there are six Jinshi flags in the Hei family, because Jin Yiwei's intelligence collection is in place! But even if the intelligence collection is in place, it will not involve whether Mr. Hei's third brother is tall or short, or whether his eyebrows are thick or thin!
Just now Wang Xian said that Third Brother Hei is not a tall man, it was all a lie...
