Brocade legend

Chapter 215 She County Customs
"Oh?" Yang Sen, Dong Hai, and Sun Quan's curiosity arose, and the three of them asked in unison at first, and then asked in unison: "What else?" "What's his background?" "Does he have a background?"

Zhu Liu said mysteriously: "This kid still had visions when he was born!"

"Anomalies?" Lu Bing frowned. Anomalies might be a good thing for the royal family, but they would be a blessing or a curse for ordinary people.

"The old man said that when Wang Zhi was born, his mother Wang once dreamed that a big star fell into her arms from the sky, and there was a crowned figure beside the star. Hu is not in Hu. "" That's all, the snow is flying, and the vegetation is frozen. "Zhu Liu just said it as a rarity, but Lu Bing frowned involuntarily when he heard it in his ears.

"Heavenly stars are in the bosom, extraordinary wombs; vegetation and ice are like soldiers." Lu Bingxin said: "In this case, it is really not easy to take him into my Jinyiwei."

However, Lu Bing felt that Wang Zhi's character was believable and he could be regarded as a brother.

At this time, Wang Zhi's voice came from outside the house: "Brother Lu! We can set off!"

Lu Bing asked Dong Hai to leave ten taels of silver on the table, and then they went out of the house together and headed for She County.

She County leans against Huangshan Mountain in the north, Hangzhou in the east, and Qiandao Lake in the south. It is the seat of the Huizhou government.

Huizhou is a peculiar place, and Shexian is even more so.

The transportation and water conservancy here extend in all directions, and it is the origin of Huizhou merchants. It is said that the hometown of merchants should be full of money, but this place has a rich cultural atmosphere.

The Hui ink and She inkstone of the Four Treasures of the Study come from She County, and Hui opera is famous for its elegance and delicacy.

Huizhou businessmen, who are successful in business, will regularly contribute a sum of money and put it in the clan ancestral hall to set up a family private school. All the children of the clan or children from the same town can enroll for free, and even provide a lunch.

And some of these children become officials after their studies, and they will feed back to the businessmen of the same clan. This is the business wisdom of Huizhou merchants and Shanxi merchants.

When Lu Bing and others came to She County, the first thing they saw was Yuliang Dam.

Yuliang Dam is the oldest and largest barrage in the upper reaches of the Xin'an River. According to legend, it was established in the Sui Dynasty. It is located in the Lianjiang River in the south of Shexian County. There are many forks on the side of the river, and you can go down the steps to Yuliang Dam.

The top of Yuliang Dam is two feet wide and nearly two feet high.All of them are made of solid stones, and each stone weighs more than a ton.It was very spectacular, and Lu Bing and others were deeply moved when they passed by.

Seeing Lu Bing and the others sighing, Wang Zhi said with a smile: "I heard people say that our Yuliang Dam here is comparable to Dujiangyan lying on the Minjiang River. But I have never seen Dujiangyan, and I don't know about Dujiangyan and our fishing dam. Every beam and dam is different."

"If I have a chance to see it, I will tell you when I come back." Yang Sen said with a smile.

Wang Zhi enviously said: "If I have a chance to go and see."

"Go if you want." Dong Hai patted Wang Zhi on the shoulder and said

"My parents are here, so I won't travel far." Wang Zhi blinked his eyes, and finally said a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius Liren" dejectedly, and continued to Shexian County with the mountain goods wrapped in animal skins on his back.

"There is still a half sentence in the back! There must be a way to swim!" Dong Hai shouted.

……

After several people entered the city, it was already noon, Dong Hai asked Wang Zhi and said, "The best restaurant in She County is there, let's go eat something first."

"The best restaurant is of course Taibailou!" Wang Zhi hesitated: "But the things there are very expensive, why don't I sell the goods, and invite you to the nearby tavern for a drink, okay?"

Zhu Liu said with a smile: "You have already taken a lot of trouble, let our Young Master Lu treat this meal!"

Lu Bing also nodded with a smile, "That's exactly what it should be."

Wang Zhi couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to obey, and led them to Taibailou.

The buildings in She County are exquisite and unique. Some styles seem to be from the Song Dynasty, but they are not in decline.

Wang Zhi took them to Taibai Tower, and it turned out that Taibai Tower was not in the center of the city.It is backed by the Piyun Mountain Peak and faces the Lianjiang River, which is like a pavilion.

Lu Bing, Zhu Liu, Dong Hai, Liu Biao, Sun Quan, Yang Sen, Jiang Shitou and Wang Zhi entered the Taibai Tower in a mighty manner.

Xiao Er'er saw a few people dressed plainly but with extraordinary appearance, so he hurriedly led them up to the second floor and sat at a big table.

Yang Sen teased and asked the little boy: "Your name is Taibai Tower, did Li Taibai really come here?"

The little boy actually nodded and said proudly: "Indeed, this was originally a restaurant. The poet Li Bai came to visit the hermit Xu Xuanping, but he did not meet him. He used to drink here. Later generations changed the name of the restaurant to commemorate Li Bai. It is called "Taibai Building". Later, when our family's ancestors became prosperous, they paid for the construction of this Taibai Building,"

Lu Bing listened to the younger son's words with a lot of style, and couldn't help admiring Huizhou's cultural education even more.

Lu Bing and the others ordered "Stewed Turtle with Ham", "Braised Civet in Red", "Salted Fresh Mandarin Fish", "Huangshan Stewed Pigeon", "Ginger Duck", "Pearl Shark's Fin", "Hehe Kidney", "Yuyuan Steamed Deer Fetal "eight dishes of Huizhou cuisine, and three catties of Huizhou Jia wine, soaked in hot water and scalded.

When the food and drink came to the table, Wang Zhi was still dumbfounded, he had never seen such a banquet before, his mouth was drooling, but his heart was trembling with fear.

Dong Hai smiled and said to Wang Zhi: "Just eat and drink at ease, our young master is rich, this meal should be regarded as a thank you to you, you are welcome, as long as you have enough food and wine."

Wang Zhi stared blankly at Lu Bing, swallowed, and asked, "Brother Lu, what exactly do you do? The dishes on this table are for our wealthy Huizhou households. They are not entertaining the magistrate, and they are not willing to do so." What a waste!"

Lu Bing didn't answer the question and said: "You have saved our lives, led the way, and entertained us. I should return the courtesy. To me, you are more noble than the magistrate."

Wang Zhi waved his hands in fright: "Brother Lu is serious, but he dare not say that! This, this is too... I really deserve it!"

Lu Bing smiled and said, "If you don't eat it, it will be a waste of my heart."

"That's right! Brother Wang, you're welcome!" Yang Sen swallowed greedily, urged Wang Zhi to move his chopsticks, and asked Shi Shi to pour wine for Wang Zhi.

"I've heard that Huizhou Jiajiu is good, and I can finally taste it today." Lu Bing also poured himself a glass, first looked at it, then smelled it, then tasted it, and said, "Well... the wine is slightly pale. Clear yellow, attractive aroma, slightly sweet on the palate, mellow and warm after scalding, it is indeed a good wine."

Seeing that Lu Bing started to move, everyone threw off their arms and started to eat.
