First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 251 Prosperity
After Chen Zhifu came in, he bowed and saluted. He was not saluting. After all, he was at home. Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously and waved him to stand up. There is a banquet tomorrow."

Zhu Biao stood up and said, "Nothing, since you're ready, let's go."

Chen Zhifu sighed: "After all, His Royal Highness is heroic. If I travel so much north and south, I will have to lie on the bed for half a month."

Zhu Biao walked out of the house with a smile, and Chen Zhifu followed behind with his hands behind his back and said: "A few days ago, I received the news that His Highness is going to pass by Hangzhou. Fengle Building next to it."

After hearing this, Zhu Biao asked with great interest: "But the Fengle Tower in Lin Sheng's sentence "outside the mountain and the building outside the mountain"?"

Chen Zhifu nodded and stroked his beard and said: "Your Highness is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. This building has been damaged and rebuilt several times, and now it stands beside the West Lake. The food and drinks are indeed delicious, and the scenery is even more moving."

Zhu Biao felt that he had nothing left to enjoy after arriving in Hangzhou. Chen Zhifu then introduced: "Tonight, not only the chefs from Fengle Restaurant, but also the chefs from 24 restaurants in the entire Hangzhou city have gathered in Fengle Restaurant. It’s not as good as the imperial chefs in Beijing, but the special skills of each family will definitely not disappoint His Highness.”

Zhu Biao maintained a smile on his face, but he complained in his heart that you are too high on the imperial chefs in Beijing. They are basically old people who have been with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and their cooking skills are not bad.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "It's better not to waste too much, it's too much."

Chen Zhifu pulled back the curtain of the carriage and helped Zhu Biao to get on the carriage and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. It is reasonable for ministers and others to have family wealth, and it is reasonable to use it to serve the lord."

Zhu Biao didn't say any more, the carriage was running smoothly all the way, leading directly to the West Lake, and now there are many tourists next to the West Lake at the beginning of the Huadeng, and they are all descendants of wealthy businessmen, and there are many beautiful young ladies.

Zhu Biao's bicycle frame stopped in front of a group of middle-aged people, and before he got off the car, the group of people knelt down happily: "I wait to welcome Your Highness."

Zhu Biao walked down from the frame with a smile, wearing a black satin gown with gold thread trim, embroidered with the appearance of a rising dragon, a moon-white waist, and black hair tied behind by a gold ring. Although it is possible to wear a crown, it is not a formal Occasion Zhu Biao still likes to tie his long hair behind his back.

After getting off the carriage station and settling down, he glanced at the girls in the distance, and then looked down at the officials on the ground. He reckoned that she was the daughter of this group of people, and he wanted to take advantage of the lack of people in the East Palace to send his daughter off. go in.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand to let them stand up, Chen Zhifu began to introduce, Zhu Biao just nodded, most people are not qualified to let Zhu Biao remember.

Chen Zhifu naturally knew it well, and after introducing a few people, he stopped talking, and a group of people brought Zhu Biao into Fengle Building like stars.

This building was built on the edge of the West Lake outside Yongjin Gate. It was once named Zhongle Pavilion, but later it was changed to Shocui Building, and finally Fengle Building.Rather than saying that Fengle Building is a restaurant, it is better to say that it is a garden. The environment inside the building is quiet, and there are many terraces. The moon pool made of stone bricks and the standing swings attract a large number of tourists in spring.

Of course, because of Zhu Biao's arrival tonight, the inside has already been cleared. After entering, he saw a group of kneeling people. Zhu Biao waved his hand and stopped talking. The officials below will naturally arrange everything.

After walking up to the tallest building in the middle, the officials around Zhu Biao wanted to be acquainted, and introduced the scenery here to Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao wanted to ask about the little salary that the imperial court gave you, saving for two years Is it enough for you to come?

Why does it seem like you are eating here every day, but Zhu Biao didn't ask after all, what if he passed down Wanguan's family wealth from his ancestors like Chen Zhifu, and he is willing to invite his colleagues to eat for free, which is still illegal.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people observe it, there will be no disciples. Hangzhou is generally good enough. Zhu Biao has no intention of delving into other things now. After all, there are still too many places that are dilapidated.

When I went downstairs, I found that there are flying bridges, sills or corridors between the buildings of Fengle Building. It's like a fairyland.

Zhu Biao walked on it with great interest, but he didn't pay attention to what the officials at the side said. After a rare break, he naturally wanted to play according to his heart. Zhu Biao walked for a long time before stopping at a building near the West Lake. Down.

I don't know if it's because he came or it's just like this, there are many lanterns hanging on the shore of West Lake, and the West Lake is like a piece of jasper, which is very beautiful.

Downstairs, there are also many people looking up at the young man by the fence. The pretty and graceful ladies of the famous family are all looking forward to His Highness waiting to look down, see her in the dimly lit place, and fall in love at first sight...

Zhu Biao was not in the mood to look at the girl anymore, so he turned around and went back to the house. A series of delicacies and wines were served, and the officials kept talking about something, so Zhu Biao cheered up to cope.

Everyone knew casually that this was to clean up the crown prince, so there was nothing more to say in the official circle, and the best musicians and maikos in Hangzhou also started performing beside them, all staring at the crown prince.

In the Jiangnan style, there were quite a few people reciting poems and reciting lyrics at the banquet, and everyone was indeed not a fool, everyone was quite interesting. Although I don't know what happened behind them, at least they did not lose Zhu Biao's appetite on the surface.

Every dish on the table will be placed in front of Zhu Biao first. Prefect Chen is still an old gourmet, no matter what kind of food he can tell the interesting stories or methods, it really makes people happy.

The first dish is called Qiankun fish head, which is very generous, the fish head is tender, and the gelatinous fish brain is mellow and smooth; the side dishes tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots are also full of the original juice of the fish soup, which is delicious. It is a dish of eight-treasure tofu, the ingredients are finely chopped, white and tender, scattered with mushrooms, pine nuts, minced meat and chives, the ingredients are fragrant, and the mouth is like soup.

There is also a steamed meat with lotus leaf powder. It is said that the lotus leaf of the West Lake is used. The fried rice noodles and minced meat are mixed together, wrapped in lotus leaves, and steamed in a pot. Generally, it takes about an hour to steam. The meat-flavored rice noodles are glutinous, and you will never forget them after eating them.

Zhu Biao ate a few mouthfuls of each delicious dish, and he was full after dozens of dishes. Besides, the wine was never broken. Everyone in the officialdom is talented, and they speak nicely and interestingly. It is estimated that they will be thrown into the Wei and Jin Dynasties to become celebrities. No stress.

After they were full of wine and food, the officials made eye contact and said that a night tour of the West Lake is also a beautiful thing. Zhu Biao would naturally not object to this, and the group left Fengle Building. Young people in fancy clothes and graceful and graceful beauties all gathered together.

After Zhu Biao walked out, each of them came forward to salute. The teenagers were either elegant and refined, or arrogant and talented, each with their own characteristics.

Unknowingly, a large group of people gathered, and Zhu Biao was a little intoxicated. He seemed to be in a prosperous age, with no pirates along the coast, no northern Mongolia, no poverty in the central plains, no court struggles, and no foreign vassal attacks.
