Wang Xian returned to Qingzhou City, it was already dark, and Tang Tiande's personal soldier captain Lao Li was waiting at the door, took Wang Xian's horse reins and said with a smile: "Sir is back, the elder is waiting for you to have dinner." ”

"Oh, what a sin!" Wang Xian was flattered when he heard this, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and followed Lao Li to the dining room.

"I've been with the elders for decades, and it's the first time I've seen you with this courtesy!" Lao Li said with a smile: "Mr. is soaring, but you have to take care of me Lao Li." ”

"Wherever and wherever, take care of each other." Wang Xian dealt with Lao Li and stepped into the brightly lit dining room, and 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 obviously he did not open the table. As soon as he saw Wang Xian, Tang Tiande smiled and said, "Mr. is back, sit down quickly, let's hurry up and eat!" ”

"Let the elders wait for a long time, sin and sin." Wang Xian hurriedly apologized and said, "If you know that the elder is waiting, the student will definitely return early!" ”

"Hey, Mr. went to send the old master, how could the old man stop him." Tang Tiande shook his head and smiled: "I have been sending it for so long, which shows that Mr. Gao Yi is good!" The old man only has respect in his heart, and there is no unhappiness! He pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down!" ”

Wang Xian thanked him and sat down, and the maid brought a white towel from the basin and asked him to wash his hands. At this time, there was a small servant with a tray, bringing up steaming meals one after another, and a table was set in a blink of an eye.

Elder Tang didn't speak, he looked at Wang Xian with a smile, and saw Wang Xian's expression, first from calm to surprised, and then from surprised to excited!

Then, Wang Xian stood up all of a sudden, and gave Elder Tang a deep look, tears clearly rolling in his eyes......

Elder Tang was very satisfied with his reaction, and helped Wang Xian up with a smile and said, "Mr. doesn't have to be like this, although this table of Huaiyang dishes is not easy to buy, but Mr. can afford it!" ”

It turned out that the table was full of stewed crab roe lion head, soft long fish, Wensi tofu, three sets of duck, crystal meat and the like, Huaiyang famous dishes with clear water!

"Elder, student, student doesn't know what to do...... Wang Xian wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve excitedly, but under the cover of his sleeve, his expression suddenly became solemn! Yesterday, during the night talk, Elder Tang asked about his life experience like a family friend. Wang Xian knew that this was by no means a casual conversation, but a background check on himself.

At that time, Wang Xian didn't care too much, because Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong had asked before, so he told Elder Tang what he had said twice, such as 'Yangzhou people', 'not the first to raise the son', and 'implicated in the construction of the copy'. Unexpectedly, after only one day, Elder Tang prepared this table of 'hometown dishes' for himself!

No matter what Tang Tiande's intentions are, this carefulness alone is enough to make Wang Xian more vigilant and remind himself that now is not dealing with rough people like Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong, but dealing with an old fox who is skilled in the world!

When Wang Xian lowered his arm, there was only a look of gratitude on his face.

"Sir, hurry up and eat, it's not beautiful when it's cold......" Tang Tiande greeted Wang Xian with a smile.

"Then, the student might as well be respectful," Wang Xian arched his hand to Tang Tiande, scooped a spoonful of Wensi tofu into his mouth, reveled for a long time, and sighed: "Good authentic Wensi tofu, good skilled knife work, without twenty years of skill, I'm afraid I can't cut such tofu shreds!" Speaking of curiosity, he asked, "Where did the elder invite the celebrity chef?" ”

"Coincidentally, the old man's chef, Master Zhang, is a native of Yangzhou." Elder Tang smiled and said, "Today I heard that Mr. is his fellow countryman, and he deliberately took out his housekeeping skills, and the old man usually can't eat!" ”

"Oh?" Wang Xian's heart tightened again, his brain spun rapidly, and he didn't slow down at all: "Then you must see it!" ”

"Of course, if you don't say it, the old man will also introduce it." Elder Tang said to Lao Li on the side, "Let Lao Zhang come over." ”

Lao Li took the order and left, and Elder Tang smiled and persuaded Wang Xian: "Sir, don't stop, eat quickly!" ”

"Elders, please use more, too." Wang Xian smiled and nodded, holding a chopstick for each dish, and eating with a drunken face. But in fact, he didn't care about tasting the deliciousness of Huaiyang cuisine at all, and all his thoughts were spent on preparing for the next test!

Yes, this Chef Zhang who suddenly appeared must have been used by Elder Tang to test the authenticity of his identity! If Wang Xian doesn't raise his vigilance, he will really be sorry for those brothers who died!

A chubby middle-aged cook, holding a soup pot, came in with a smile on his face, and apologized again and again: "The elder forgives the sin, the villain is waiting for the puffer fish soup, it's too late!" ”

"What, puffer fish soup?" Elder Tang changed color when he heard this, and said, "This thing will eat the dead!" ”

"Hehe, the elder doesn't eat, so does Mr. Hei eat it?" Chef Zhang turned to Wang Xian and changed his mouth to Yangzhou dialect.

"Eat! Of course eat! How can there be Yangzhou people who dare not eat puffer fish! Wang Xian said without hesitation, and his mouth was actually an authentic Yangzhou official dialect!

Elder Tang listened with his ears stunned, feeling that Wang Xian and Chef Zhang's accents should be the same, but he still looked at Chef Zhang with uncertainty, and Chef Zhang nodded faintly, indicating that there was no problem.

Chef Zhang opened the soup can, filled a bowl of fish soup, scooped a lot of fish meat, and sent it to Wang Xian with a playful smile, Wang Xian smiled in Yangzhou dialect: "One white, two skins, three soups and four meats." Why, the chef is reluctant to give me fish and white fish skin? ”

Chef Zhang smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. is really an expert. So he scooped Wang Xian a bowl of white fish skin again. Wang Xian did not hesitate at all, he immediately picked up the bowl, tasted it carefully, and while eating, he shook his head exaggeratedly and said, "Fresh!" It's really fresh! I don't have to lose my eyebrows! ”

Chef Zhang looked at Elder Tang again and nodded slightly. In this era, the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Yangzhou, did not dare to eat puffer fish anywhere else, because only the cooks in Yangzhou could rectify puffer fish! Wang Xian is so good at eating, it should be a big family in Yangzhou.

As everyone knows, Wang Xian just thinks that Elder Tang will not poison himself to death now, fight for his life, and he must not show his stuff!

But then again, this puffer fish is ****** delicious! It's the best delicacy he's ever tasted in his life! And with the stimulation of a strong heartbeat, it is really unstoppable, so Wang Xian can only say: "Another bowl!" ”

Chef Zhang smiled and filled Wang Xian with another bowl, Elder Tang asked Chef Zhang to sit down too, Chef Zhang thanked him, and was willing to accompany the last seat.

Mr. Hei drank the puffer fish soup and poured a lot of yellow soup, and the whole person was excited! Pulling Chef Zhang's arm, he took the initiative to talk with him in Yangzhou dialect, which is the blueprint of the Huaiyang official dialect of the Ming Dynasty. And he and Dai Hua have adjusted the subtleties in the tone in place, pretending to be a Yangzhou person who has been away from home for more than ten years, which is naturally more than enough!

Even the most difficult to impersonate the local accent can be learned vividly, as for Yangzhou's customs and old streets, Wang Xian is even more out of trouble! That Chef Zhang and Wang Xian went around and around, not leaving all aspects of Yangzhou, Wang Xian was able to answer fluently and deal with it easily, so that Elder Tang basically put his heart back into his stomach, and smiled at the two of them: "The two of you are talking so lively, could it be that you didn't know each other before?" ”

"How can the villain know Mr. Black?" The chef shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Twenty years ago, the Hei family was a famous family in Yangzhou, a family of poetry and books, and there were eight Jinshi flags at the door!" It's amazing! ”

"Hey, it's six-sided," Wang Xian drank a lot of wine, his face was red, his mouth was not good, and he bent his fingers to count them one by one. From his grandfather, uncle, cousin, to his third brother!

"Speaking of the third master, the villain is really fortunate to have met a few times!" Chef Zhang suddenly interjected: "I was a cook in Cuiwei Building in Yangzhou at the time, and the third master sometimes came to eat, the third master has a decent life!" Big tall, with a high nose bridge, and a pair of dark and thick eyebrows! Only the villain can remember until now......" After speaking, Chef Zhang stared at Wang Xian.

"Hey, you recognized the wrong person," Wang Xian shook his head drunkenly and said: "My third brother is not a tall man, not a ......" After speaking, he lay on the table and died drunk!

"Mr. Hei, Mr. ......" Chef Zhang poked Wang Xian, and seeing that there was no response, he said to Elder Tang: "Mr. Hei is drunk." ”

"Let's go and rest." Elder Tang nodded and said to Lao Li.

After Lao Li helped Wang Xian down, the subordinates withdrew the banquet, and replaced it with tea, Elder Tang slowly asked the chef Zhang, "Brother Zhang, what do you think?" ”

That chef's eyes are restrained at the moment, his temples are bulging high, where is there still half a chef's appearance! He stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Elder, you can be sure that what he said is the truth!" After a pause, he said: "Don't say anything else, I have indeed seen the third master of the Hei family, he is a gentleman, and the Hei family does only have six Jinshi flags......

"Hmm." Elder Tang nodded, this surnamed Zhang was actually a head catcher in Yangzhou City, and later committed an accident and was assigned to Shandong, and he met Elder Tang by chance, and then followed him. Elder Tang believed in Zhang Zhutou's brilliant moves, not to mention that Zhang Zhutou was still a native of Yangzhou.

"Now the old man is relieved," Elder Tang looked at Zhang Zhutou, and said with a relieved smile: "Thank you for your hard work, but you have to be careful in the future, it will not be beautiful if he sees the flaws." ”

"Hehe, who let his subordinates cocoon themselves, they have to pretend to be a cook......" Zhang Zhutou shook his head and smiled bitterly......

Putting Wang Xian back into the room, settling down on the bed, everyone withdrew.

As soon as the door was closed, Wang Xian opened his eyes and gasped for breath, it was really thrilling just now - he could tell every street in Yangzhou, it was because he accompanied the prince to inspect Yangzhou, he could tell that the Hei family had six Jinshi flags, that was because Jinyiwei's intelligence was collected in place! But no matter how much intelligence collection is in place, it will not involve whether Mr. Hei's third brother is tall or short, and whether his eyebrows are thick or thin!

Fang Cai Wang Xian said that the third brother Hei is not a big and tall person, and he is completely dependent on Meng......

Luckily, I got it right......
