The northerners are not used to taking boats, Pei Ning and Wang Rong are both authentic northerners, therefore, Du Shiyi's original plan was to go to Jiangling to change to the land route, but the weather is getting colder, and the road is all hilly and bumpy, so he rested for a while to explore the situation, and finally Pei Ning proposed to continue to go to Ezhou by water, and naturally some servants went to the dock to hire a boat. However, in the evening, when Du Shiyi and his party arrived at the dock and were about to board the boat, they only heard a call in the distance behind them.

"Du Langjun, Pei Langjun"

Du Shiyi turned his head to look, and saw a rider galloping into the dock as if he were flying first, followed by a few strong horseback servants more than a dozen steps behind him. As the person got closer, Du Shiyi immediately recognized that this was clearly the young Langjun he had seen in the Shangqing Temple that day. I saw that this person jumped down when he got closer, and only after arching his hand did he say apologetically: "Yesterday rì met by chance in the Shangqing Temple, I was clumsy for a while, and I didn't recognize Du Langjun.

Pei Ning had never even entered the gate because of the Qingguan in Jiangling that Sima Chengzhen had stayed in the past, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. And the young Lang Jun obviously knew that he was speaking too quickly, so he smiled and hurriedly explained: "In Xia Weiji, my father, Jingzhou Governor Shi Weixuzhou

Du Shiyi had already guessed that this was probably the case, so he had to return the salute with a smile and call Wei Langjun, and Pei Ning also returned the salute. However, the owner of the ship, who originally came to urge the boat to start, heard that it was Changshi Gongzi who came in a hurry, and hurriedly retreated for a while and did not dare to make a sound. At this time, Du Shiyi said sincerely: "Since I passed through Jingzhou, I should have gone to see Wei Yuanjun, but after all, my trip to Jiangling was not public, and I didn't want everyone up and down to know that I was passing by, so I could only be rude to post to meet me, and asked Wei Langjun to tell Wei Yuanjun after he went back, and apologize on my behalf." ”

Hearing Du Shiyi's words, Wei Ji knew that Du Shiyi's party would probably not delay until Ming before leaving. He originally came to give him a ride on behalf of his father, and at this moment he said happily: "Du Langjun and Pei Langjun are on important tasks, and my father does not dare to delay, but Wei Du Shijiao, my father asked me to give each other a ride, and sent Jiangling rice wine, as well as some articles and poetry collections of Jiangling celebrities, which can be regarded as practicing for the two Langjun." ”

Wei Xuzhou is so sincere as a senior elder, but it is disrespectful, Du Shiyi naturally accepted the rice wine of the two gourds with Pei Ning, as for the two volumes of poems and essays that were among the best in this year's Jingzhou Prefecture Examination, they were naturally the most important, Du Shiyi not only accepted them, but also promised to read them well. When it was time to start the boat, seeing Wei Ji waving goodbye, he watched the dock get farther and farther away in the gradually dim sky, until he was completely out of sight, Pei Ning beside him suddenly said: "Jingzhao Weishi, it really deserves its reputation." ”

Du Shiyi also sighed lightly: "So this is the biggest advantage of the family compared to Hansu, there are many people, and they can afford to study, and over time, there are naturally many talents." ”

The ship arrived in Ezhou, and it was a few more years later. This is already the jurisdiction of Jiangnan West Road, although it is not as prosperous as Jingzhou, but it was also the capital of King Sun Quan of Wu, even after hundreds of years, it is still Shangzhou with tens of thousands of households. Only in terms of population, but it can't be compared with those states and counties in Shu.

Because Du Shiyi's party was issued by Shudi, there were not so many dazzling seals, and they did not cause any waves when they entered the city. It is already thousands of miles away from Shudi, and there are not many people talking about current affairs, but it is gradually winter, and the atmosphere of the New Year is approaching. For Du Shiyi, the biggest feeling of entering the city after the boat arrived at the wharf outside Ezhou was that there were big rivers passing outside the city, and there were lakes everywhere.

Unlike the north, although there is water, there are many rivers and few lakes, in this year, the land of Jingchu is full of water, which is a rare experience for Pei Ning and Wang Rong, who are traveling south for the first time. On the contrary, Lu Cong has followed his father to many places as an official since he was a teenager, and he has a good understanding of the customs and customs of the south. Now although it is winter, the fish is exceptionally delicious, and people can ⊥ people to catch fish and cook it in restaurants everywhere, but when it comes to the taste, it is much more delicate than the fish in the north. ”

There are not many northerners who like to eat fish, and Pei Ning is not as committed to Buddhism as his brother, and Wang Rong is not afraid of fish, not to mention Du Shiyi, there are no taboos about fish, shrimp and crabs, and he nodded when he heard this. So, when everyone stayed in the inn, Chibi went to the front and asked the shopkeeper, knowing that there was a fish village near the South Lake in the city that was quite famous, and Du Shiyi asked him to go over and ask the shopkeeper to prepare. When everyone passed by, the guy from the fish village smiled and brought up a few fresh fish in a bamboo basket, and some live shrimp for Du Shiyi to see, and when Du Shiyi asked if there were fat crabs, he also smiled and explained a few more words.

"Listening to the accents of a few guests, I don't look like a local, but I didn't expect to know the deliciousness of this crab. Don't know how the guests are going to eat? ”

Du Shiyi saw that Wang Rong finally showed a strange sè, while Chen Bao'er was wide-eyed, obviously he hadn't eaten it, even Pei Ning frowned slightly, he couldn't help but hahadaxiao, and said casually: "They obviously won't dismantle it, so you let the good hands remove the meat, stew it with green onion and ginger, and let them taste it." ”

"According to the guest officer's words, "Yuzhuang is famous for making lakes and fresh, and there are many scholars among the people who patronize it, seeing that Du Shiyi skillfully ordered this and that, it is clear that he is the master who has a lot of money, and he is naturally more attentive, and he did not forget to ask at the end, "Do you want a few more bowls of thick tea soup?" It's a wonderful thing to get rid of greasy and fishy smells."

"We are from Shu, and we know more about tea than you" Du Shiyi shook his head with a smile, and when he saw that the guy was a little sneering, he said to Wang Rong and Pei Ning, "Although the tea soup is good for relieving greasy, it should not be eaten with crabs, otherwise it is not easy to digest." Especially when eating crab, there is still half an hour after eating, and it is best not to drink strong tea. However, if you have a fishy smell on your hands when you peel crabs raw, you can wash your hands with tea to remove the fish."

At this time, it was lunch time, and there were quite a few other guests in the fish village, and one or two heard this, and couldn't help but come over and ask: "What this Lang Jun said is true?" When we eat crabs here, we often love their deliciousness and think they are fatty, so we will definitely get a bowl of tea, according to you, this is not beautiful? ”

"Crab is a cold thing, although it is delicious, but it should not be eaten more, and although tea soup is beneficial to people's health, sometimes it is taboo to eat with various foods, such as food and medicine should not drink tea, because the tea antidote is ......" Du Shiyi saw that it was an elderly man who was slightly older, and naturally did not forget to inform him of various taboos one by one, and Zuihou said, "In addition, this crab is the same, except for strong tea, it is never suitable to eat with persimmons and pears." Otherwise, it will be mild abdominal pain and severe diarrhea, which is even more unfavorable to the elderly. If you really want to relieve the fish, ginger tea with aged vinegar is better. ”

While speaking, several guests had already crowded over to listen to Du Shiyi's explanation, and the old man who had just been the first to come to inquire heard this, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Although this Lang Jun is not very old, he is a learned person, and it seems that he is also knowledgeable in medicine?" Yes, yes, now in the land of Jingchu, the trend of drinking tea is gradually prevailing, but if it is like what you said, you only know how to drink it but do not know the taboo, and you may have a gastrointestinal problem at some point. Hey, when Du Jiulang wrote the Tea Sutra, why didn't he add this taboo? ”

At one point, others chimed in. Faced with this reaction, Du Shiyi's face was subtle, and Wang Rong and Pei Ning couldn't help laughing. However, Chen Bao'er was like a god to Du Shiyi, and hurriedly asked at this moment: "Have you all read Du Shiyu's Book of Tea?" ”

"I have read it, the tea scripture is very fast, this Ezhou began more than half a year ago, there are people who copy the tea scripture for people, and those who know the words even have their own books. However, the method of making tea and flushing is the benevolence of the benevolent, and the wisdom of the wise. If you want Xiao Lao'er to say, this tea is sweet and fragrant, but it is not drunk with other things, but the aftertaste is bland. ”

"Who said bland? This is the real drinking of tea, otherwise it is adding honey and cinnamon, isn't it much different from drinking those sweet soups? ”

"Wei Liu, what kind of elegance are you? Who doesn't know that you love meat the most, this tea is just to reduce the fire and get tired"

Seeing that a few people were fighting because of this, Du Shiyi couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and Chen Bao'er, who asked so much, didn't expect it to develop into such a situation of blowing his beard and staring at his eyes. Restless, he hurriedly stood up and persuaded both sides, and it took a long time to calm down the diners, but he was praised for Xiao Langjun's kindness. And the guy at the beginning had already slipped away before the fight, and now when he saw that everyone was back to their seats, he brought the food with a smile.

Steamed fish, boiled shrimp in salted water, fish head soup, fish bones in vinegar, braised crab meat with green onion and ginger...... One by one, it was delivered, and the food table was suddenly full, and the aroma was overflowing, making people eat yù Dasheng. As introduced by the owner of the hostel before, the lake fresh here is indeed very skilled, Du Shiyi tasted them one by one, and felt that compared with the chefs in the north, they had their own strengths, and their appetite was unconsciously great, and even Wang Rong couldn't help but eat half a bowl of rice. And when the dishes were all empty, the guests who had just had an argument in front of everyone had also finished eating, and they all laughed and talked around.

"How many Lang Jun don't seem to be native to Ezhou? This is a trip to Ezhou? ”

Du Shiyi and several people with their servants, from age to dress, look very in line with the appearance of the traveling bachelor, so in the face of such a problem, Du Shiyi smiled and pointed at Chen Bao'er and said: "We are not here to travel, but it is the first time for my disciple to go out of Shu to see the world, so I have to let him see more and walk."

Just now, Chen Bao'er was eager but a little clumsy to persuade, and all the diners had a good impression of this little Langjun, and when they learned that Du Shiyi, who was not much older than him, turned out to be his teacher, everyone couldn't help but wonder. At that moment, a young scholar asked Chen Baoer on the spot with great interest, but Chen Baoer was not too abrupt and answered them one by one. After asking a few questions, the scholar smiled and said: "This little Langjun is young, but he has a bit of a general's style, Langjun is so lucky to accept such a disciple."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside the door: "Dare to ask Yizhou Du Shiyu if he is here?" ”
