The concubine rode the oil wall car, and Lang straddled the green horse; Where do you get together? Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling.

It is said that the Xiling mentioned in Su Xiaoxiao's poem is the area of Xiling Bridge today. From the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was called Xicun, Xilin, Xiling, but since the Xilin Bridge was renovated a few years ago and the Xiling Bridge was built, it became more and more lively here, and the old name was naturally not used very much. At this moment, the two double-decker boats could not cross the single-arch stone bridge, so they stopped on the shore. Fortunately, the small restaurant that Zhang Taizheng mentioned about specializing in lake fresh food is hidden in a verdant green tree by the lake, not far away, and a small flag waving in the wind has the words Lin Ji Restaurant written on it. A group of people walked as a car, that is, a few steps.

Wang Fulin was worried that this kind of small restaurant was famous and crowded, but when he got closer, he found that there were only three tables in the small room, and there were two scattered outside. This kind of scene is very different from the delicious Hangzhou Gang restaurant in Zhang Taizheng's mouth, so much so that he can't help but glance at Zhang Taizheng in surprise. Sure enough, this Zhang Gongzi smiled, and then shook the folding fan and said, "Brother Wang Xian will know when you go in and try it, I will never lie to you." ”

The business is either bad or the taste is bad, or the shopkeeper has a bad temper, but as soon as Wang Fulin and the others arrived, the shopkeeper and his wife greeted him with great hospitality. And seeing that everyone's clothes were almost luxurious, he even called an eleven or twelve-year-old boy to wipe all the tables and stools seriously. Jinbao wanted to help, but was dragged by Qiu Feng.

"You didn't see the store because there are so many customers coming and they're happy, don't take other people's jobs. We were invited. Don't sweep away people's excitement. ”

Qiu Feng said this. suddenly remembered that he was doing chores in Shexian School Palace. Although the life is hard and tiring, he still refuses to let someone help, because he just doesn't want people to look down on him. At this moment, looking at this little boy who was about the same age as himself, he thought about the past again, and suddenly found with some horror that the three years of hard life were becoming more and more difficult to remember.

Naturally, the entourage all stayed outside, and the two square tables were a little crowded. But I was barely able to sit down, but when the others entered the store, they found that there was really no screen that could be blocked, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed. Wang Fulin thought about it, and then he built a maid and a girl to stay in the store, and they set up a table outside under the green trees and on the shore of the West Lake. The shopkeeper and his wife were originally full of embarrassment, but when they heard such a construction at this moment, they immediately agreed happily, and it was arranged after a while.

Thereupon. Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei, Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei. and Zhang Taizheng's two cousins and a few maids, all of whom stayed in the store, Wang Fulin took Jinbao Qiufeng and Ye Xiaopang, and Zhang Taizheng Xu Erye sat under a willow tree a little far away from the two tables of the entourage. At this time, it has passed the season when the catkins are flying, the willow leaves hang low like silk, and the afterglow of the sunset is just right, which is just suitable for outdoor dining. However, due to the staffing problem of this table, just the seating order, the second master Xu was entangled, or Wang Fulin generously asked the two of them to sit on one side, and he pulled Ye Xiaopang to sit together, and Jinbao and Qiu Feng sat together, and the problem was solved.

As for the question of ordering food, Zhang Dagongzi, who was born in a wealthy Jin businessman, waved his hand, and said that he was the best at picking, four meats, four vegetarian cold dishes, and four dishes. From time to time, Jinbao and Qiu Feng went to see the little boy who had just come out to wipe the table and stools to clean up, and saw him busy beside the shopkeeper and his wife, who were supposed to be his parents, with a happy smile on his face. At this time, Zhang Taizheng said: "Brother Wang Xian, I said that this small restaurant is quite delicious, why is no one patronizing, is it because it is too simple?" ”

"I do have that question."

Zhang Taizheng suddenly laughed: "I have been in Hangzhou for half a month, and I felt the same way when I was brought by others for the first time, and I thought that if the business is good, it is not impossible to renovate the house and expand the store, why is it still like this?" Later, after asking, I learned that although this small restaurant is on the side of Xiling Bridge, and even the house with land, are their own, but some people have already planned to buy land to build another courtyard, but the shopkeeper just refuses to sell, and he offends people when he comes and goes. Only those who are not afraid of those troublemakers will come here to taste some fresh wild vegetables from the lake. Because everyone is afraid that there will be too many people coming and going, which will disturb this good atmosphere, so they are all relatives and friends. ”

"In this way, if it weren't for this good craftsmanship, and many literati love this tune, I'm afraid that this family will drink the northwest wind."

Wang Fulin asked rhetorically, and when he saw Zhang Taizheng nodding, he immediately glanced around. Although it was the first time for Second Master Xu to come here, he could know what he was thinking by looking at Wang Fulin's expression, and suddenly sneered: "Young and ignorant, so many of us are sitting here, everyone knows that it is everyone's children traveling, where do you dare to send it to the door to make trouble?" ”

Second Master Xu repeatedly spoke like this, but Wang Fulin was not a good-natured person, so he immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Who do you want to say about the four words of Second Master Xu's youth and ignorance?" ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Fulin was so public in front of Zhang Taizheng, Xu Er's heart was furious, he pressed the table and just wanted to stand up, but he only heard Wang Fulin say for a long time: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it seems that someone over there has already come to find trouble." ”

When Zhang Taizheng came to eat last time, he tasted a lot of local craftsmanship that the so-called top chefs do not have, so what his friends said, he also took it as a deaf ear. At this moment, seeing that more than a dozen big men with sticks were pressing towards this side, even though he was full of articles and raised people, but the danger was imminent, he couldn't help but shrink his heart suddenly. At this moment, I heard Wang Fulin call Yang Wencai, and at the table of the Wang family not far away, several entourages Huo Ran got up and rushed forward to greet the comer.

However, before he could call someone to help, there was no fight at all. The people on both sides seemed to say something first, and then he saw that the people who came dropped their sticks one after another. It's not a bow and a reparation. It didn't take long for everything to slip away. Only the thing that was intended to be used as a murder weapon was thrown to the ground. At this time, Yang Wencai turned back first, came to Wang Fulin and said with a smile: "The little officials, they are all unfashionable guys, and they were sent away. ”

"Therefore, since Second Master Xu is better than my junior in terms of age and qualifications, he should know the truth of prevention before it happens." Wang Fulin saw that Second Master Xu was already so angry that he was silent, so he said to Yang Wencai. "Tell everyone for me, be vigilant, after all, there are still women in the store."

Zhang Taizheng waited until Yang Wen agreed, and the messy things on the ground were also cleaned up, and then he deliberately praised: "Brother Wang Xian really raised a lot of family members!" ”

Wang Fulin smiled and didn't answer, but he didn't explain that Yang Wencai and the others were not family members but dart masters, but they didn't have business for the time being, so they just followed him to act as an accompanying bodyguard. As he spoke, the cold vegetables had already come up, but most of them were unknown wild vegetables. Blanch in the water and catch it, put some sesame oil condiments and mix it. But it's fragrant and delicious. The ingredients may not be top-notch, but they are all the freshest, and the couple's craftsmanship is also very good, especially the unknown sauce in a plate of noodles that makes his brows stretch.

If it weren't for Zhang Taizheng's insistence that the people who wanted to buy the house and land were making a difference, he would even have to wonder if these selfish diners with heads and faces wanted to eat pure farmhouse wild flavors, and they didn't want the guests to disturb the dining atmosphere too much, so that this small restaurant would have no business.

Everyone was drinking, eating, and chatting, but they were also at ease. It's just that for Ye Xiaopang, who likes to eat meat, these things are not enough to even stuff his teeth, and his eyes can't help but look at the small shop frequently. When he saw a boy carrying a big wooden plate coming this way, his eyes lit up.

There's meat!

But when the plate of dishes was served, he saw only a sweet and sour fish, a pot of salted white shrimp, a plate of fried crabs with sauce, and a bowl of fish soup. But before he could pout, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, and when he looked sideways, he saw that it was Wang Fulin: "Eat less meat, eat more fish and shrimp, you don't have to be forced to lose weight by your mother and sister!" Do you know what your dad said in private before? He plans to turn around and throw you to Songming Mountain, and you are not allowed to eat meat for a month, so you have to get used to it first. ”

"Brother Wang!" Ye Xiaopang was almost crying, "You must help me plead with my father!" ”

"Then don't be a picky eater!" Wang Fulin patted Ye Xiaopang again, and when the others resigned themselves to their fate, they began to clumsily peel shrimp and eat crabs, he looked up and saw Zhang Taizheng looking at him with a flickering gaze, so he smiled. Although he only tasted the four meat dishes he had just served, he felt that the original taste of the ingredients was complete, and the craftsmanship of this lake was really good

"Brother Zhang really brought me to a good place today, and it is really good to do a good job here, and it is not in vain. Since this Hangzhou restaurant is really delicious, but it is so deserted, it can be seen that the guests who come here like their craftsmanship, but they are unwilling to bother to be the masters of others, which is really a bit unreasonable. Good things should be shared by more people, but this small shop doesn't know how long it can last, which is really a tyrannical thing. Since today is the second visit, can you put the finishing touches on this small shop and solicit some business? ”

Zhang Taizheng has been in Hangzhou for more than half a month, no more than Xu Er, who has only arrived for two days, so of course he is no stranger to the name Wang Fulin. However, at this time, other people's talents were not tried, but he was squeezed by others, and he couldn't help but be a little caught off guard.

And Wang Fulin didn't give Xu Er Ye a chance to interrupt, and said with a smile: "For example, you can erect two bamboo poles on this shore to make a door, and paste the couplets to attract guests." There is a saying that there must be afterglow in the house of good deeds and virtues, it seems to be so, right? ”

Whether it was Wang Fulin who saw someone making trouble just now and took the initiative to send the family to come out, or deliberately got close to Ye Xiaopangxuan, or was nosy at the moment, Zhang Taizheng sketched the image of an immature teenager who was a little clever from the bottom of his heart. So at this moment, after the initial stunned, he came back to his senses: "Since Brother Wang Xian has this Yaxing, I want to accompany him, but I have a few drinks and drink in my head, but I don't have the energy to throw bricks and lead the jade." I don't know if Brother Wang Xian has a good sentence? ”

Wang Fulin had listened to Ye Mingyue's statement before, and knew that there was a natural conflict of interest between Wang Daokun and Zhang Siwei, so he planned to be shallow and impulsive and test Zhang Taizheng's reaction. At this moment, he was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't want the second master Xu to finally seize the opportunity, and said stiffly: "Wang Xiaoguan's anxious talent is also famous in Huizhou, and he wants to see off the great grandmaster at the beginning, so that there will be talented people from generation to generation, each for hundreds of years, and then it is still strong after thousands of blows, and the wind from east to west, north and south, since it has been said today, why not take a piece of it yourself and give it to the store?"
