People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Fang Xuanling looked at the small courtyard where Tianfu Jucai's residence was located, and was filled with joy. He has rich experience and has visited countless cities in his lifetime. But it’s rare to see a place as lively as the teahouse in front of you. There are no pavilions, no platforms, no buildings, no pavilions, but the ground is flat and solid underfoot. Although the thatched eaves are old, they are full of fireworks.

Especially the kitchen with a large window open on the side, outsiders can see the busy cook inside at a glance, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

The waiter who greeted the guests came closer and said, "Dear guests, please rest inside!"

"Okay! I came all the way and I'm a little thirsty."

Fang Xuanling talked so much about Chang'an Yayin that the waiter couldn't understand it for a while. However, it does not affect his ability to welcome guests. He only needs a smile to welcome people from all over the world.

The other waiters in the small courtyard listened to a few words and pretended to understand, so they came up to replace the former, "Dear guests, there are many people today, so I apologize for the lack of care. There are no seats in the hall for the time being. We need to wait. Wait. If you don't mind, find a place to sit outside the house..." The man didn't continue the second half of the sentence.

A man looks at his clothes and a horse looks at his saddle.

The leading old man looked like he was no ordinary person.

"Why are you talking? Who do you think you are? How can you ask our master to sit outside like a refugee? Is there a private room in the house? Move it out quickly." When the guard saw his master being insulted, he immediately stepped forward and scolded him.

The boy did what he did and loved what he did. He pretended not to hear the scolding of the unkind guest and kept a smile on his face: "Please forgive me, sir. Today, students from the Fu Xue School and ladies from wealthy families in the city held a poetry party to appreciate the spring in the private room. , it’s going to be until the afternoon!”

"Okay! Guests are welcome, first come, first served. Let's just wait!" Fang Xuanling finally did not make any move to eat with a bowl outside and chose to wait for a table.

The waiter brought out two benches from Fengcang's bedroom and asked Lao Fang to sit down. He also took a pot of hot tea and placed it on another bench.

Several farmers squatting on the side eating saw the difference in treatment, and immediately became upset, "Man, everyone here is a guest, why does he have a low stool, but we don't!"

"Well done, you three. This distinguished guest has come a long way. The journey has been too hard. Please sit down and have a rest. When you pay later, I will ask the boss for a favor and get a few small discounts for you!" Those words immediately made the people around him feel like they were sitting in the spring breeze, and felt harmonious in their hearts.

"Hahaha, you man, you are so clever with your words. Li Jian will reward you! I will wait for the tea money of the other people next to you." Fang Xuanling was extremely heroic.

At this time, the meal was not regular. There were many people stopping to have tea and few eating, so the time was not wasted. Before long, two tables became available in the room. As soon as Fang Xuanling sat down, her stomach growled. The breakfast we had on the boat in the morning was not much, and now I was actually hungry.

"Little guy, what do you have to eat at home? Make some of everything." Fang Xuanling ordered generously.

"Sir, I hear you are your first time back. Although our store is not big, we have a rich variety of dishes. I'm not afraid that you won't be able to pay. It's just that the boss said that you can't be greedy for too much."

"Then let's take a look, there's no shortage of money!" Li Jian, who was on the side, took a bunch of money and threw it into the waiter's arms, "In addition to the meal money of the people outside just now, any excess is yours!"

The guy nodded and went. It is not difficult for Guangqian to feed eighteen people, but it is not easy to feed them well. Just by looking at the demeanor of the gentleman inside, you can tell that he is no ordinary master. If there are seven or eight specialty dishes missing, we probably won’t be able to get on the table.

……

After a while, six items were placed on the small table. Signature braised pork platter, eight-treasure platter, fried mutton with green onions, boiled fish fillets, beggar's chicken, and blanched vegetables. The guards standing outside each received a bowl of vegetable rice and a stack of braised pork.

Fang Xuanling glanced around and saw that everything was covered in oil, and the colors were very attractive.

"What is this?" he asked, pointing to the braised pork platter.

"Let me introduce, braised pork seven pieces, pig meat, intestines, liver, kidneys, hooves, heart, ears -"

"How dare you use this low-level crop to insult my family?" Li Jian was furious when he heard the name of the boy's name. If the weapons hadn't been hidden in boxes, there would have been blood on the scene.

Otherwise, what’s the explanation for the Lord’s humiliation and his death?

Fang Xuanling was a little unhappy, but the Confucian magnanimity worked again, "Li Jian! I wonder if it's strange! Just listen to the guy and continue!" The guy was frightened by Li Jian's look on his face and continued tremblingly. : "Eight treasures are eight kinds of side dishes made from tofu. The boss prepares them with various medicinal materials. They have a unique taste and are nourishing and nourishing. This is beggar's chicken..."

"Not bad!" Fang Xuanling praised, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and tasted a piece of everything except the braised pork plate.

"Not bad, not bad!" I said a few more words, and the rest was just the sound of chewing.

Li Jian stared at him and swallowed his saliva. During the time he was out, he had to wait for Master Fang to eat every day. This is the first time I've seen him eat so well.

The wind outside the house blew and blew, from far to near, and finally stopped in front of the lobby.

The trumpeters and drummers were all government officials dressed up temporarily. They were all wearing big red flowers around their waists and were beaming with joy.

"Congratulations to Cai Xiaolan for being awarded the title of Marquis of Flower Cloth!"

"Congratulations to Cai Xiaolan for being awarded the title of Huabu Hou!" The servants made a fuss in front of the lobby, shouting the same words over and over again.

The clever boy quickly went to Huan Sha Tang next door to call the second boss.

The steward of the Ministry of Rites and the servants arrived first. Seeing that the commotion had been going on for so long, the people around were all customers in the store, and there was no one in charge. The steward was anxious and immediately told the waiter: "Go and call someone quickly. The governor is still waiting behind."

Cai Xiaolan and Xu Xiaoqin hid in Liujiazhuang for leisure and were not nearby.

The second boss, Xu Yinlian, arrived. She has experienced so many things and her abilities have grown a lot. While suppressing the panic in her heart, she asked the waiter to go to Liujiazhuang to call Cai Xiaolan. Finally, he took his family's servants to the archway, knelt down to greet Governor Lu, and invited him in.

But halfway there, she felt troubled.

Where can Governor Lu sit?

The lobby is not very suitable, and both private rooms are full of people.

The governor's car arrived at the door, and people watching the excitement knelt down one after another. After hearing the commotion, the students in the private room came out to see the ceremony, and invited the three senior officials, the governor, the chief historian, and the judge, in together.

Solved the problem for Xu Yinlian.

As the crowd passed by in the lobby, Fang Xuanling raised her head and glanced at them. He recognized Lu Qingyun at a glance. The clothes of a fourth-grade official were too eye-catching.

"Cai Xiaolan is so talented! It's such a small teahouse, but even the governor of the government is here?" He first thought it was because of the delicious food, but then he thought of the three of them wearing official robes, and thought it was impossible. How can anyone wear official robes to eat and drink?

……

Not long after, Cai Xiaolan arrived.

After entering, she searched the room but found no one, so she asked casually: "Where is Mr. Lu sitting?"

"In the private room!" After Xu Yinlian answered, she saw Cai Xiaolan running towards an old man sitting in the corner. He thought she didn't hear him, so he shouted loudly: "Xiaolan, that's wrong. Mr. Lu is sitting in."

Cai Xiaolan, as if she didn't hear anything, walked to the northwest corner and greeted the people in the seat with a polite tone: "A civilian girl has seen Mr. Fang!"

In the small court hall, she looked at everyone in the circle. This old man with extraordinary bearing was clearly Fang Xuanling.
