Chapter 506: Xiao Hei Goes Out!

"Young Master Lin!"

Outside the Huixian Tower, An Daoquan was looking forward to it, and Zhang Yu was also waiting at the door. When he saw Li Yan's handsome appearance, he clasped his fists away.

"You two are waiting!"

Li Yan returned the salute with a smile, no one could tell that he had just walked to the entrance of the Wuyou Cave closest to this place, and stepped on it a little bit.

The beggars and paupers were not found, and they were indeed hidden deep enough, but the blood spots that dried up repeatedly at the entrance and exit proved the horror of the Ghost Fan Tower, and it was definitely not based on rumors.

Due to environmental problems, Li Yan could not guarantee that his clothes would not be stained with blood after practicing, so he came here for the banquet first.

At this time, he smiled like a spring breeze, and the two people on the opposite side naturally said in unison: "No, we just came..."

Indeed, before the appointed time, An Daoquan was somewhat autistic, and came early nervously, while Zhang Yu wanted to show that he valued it. Anyway, the attitude of benefiting and not spending, the guild manager likes to use it the most.

Welcoming Li Yan in, Zhang Yu introduced quite complacently along the way: "Mr. Lin, although our Huixian Building is not as rich and luxurious as the Fan Building, the Zhuangyuan Building has an excellent terrain, and it is not as good as the Tie Xue Building. Please come from Guanglu The brewery maker of the temple, but quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, many private rooms are the first choice for scholars!"

Li Yan nodded: "Then you have to experience it well."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "I will not disappoint Mr. Lin."

Under his guidance, the three of them directly bypassed the restaurant in front and came to the backyard.

In the garden, there are ponds, rockery, small bridges and flowing water, and there are several winding corridors, which are divided into pavilions and elegant halls in a well-organized manner. Even An Daoquan, a native of Jiangning Prefecture, couldn't help but sigh Startled, he exclaimed: "The style of the main store is really different, and there are few such good courtyard layouts in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Li Yan lamented the changes in the style of the times. The architectural style of the Tang Dynasty was magnificent, rigorous and majestic, while the architectural style of the Song Dynasty was exquisite, delicate, mature and changeable.

In comparison, the garden design of the Song Dynasty focused on artistic conception, integrating natural beauty and artificial beauty, which is indeed more comfortable for the dining environment.

The three of them turned left and right in the corridor, and came to a more secluded courtyard. They saw that the banquet hall in the middle was set beside a lotus pond, and the lotus pond was full of lotus flowers. Covered with various lotus-themed decorations.

Zhang Yu stroked his beard and said: "There are twelve elegant rooms in the Huixian Building, and the Lotus Hall is the most difficult to make an appointment among them. Today, I am also honored by Mr. Lin and Dr. An!"

Li Yan and An Daoquan smiled politely, walked into the hall, and the latter discovered that not all of them were real lotus flowers, and there were lotus screens, which combined with the lotus pond outside the hall, not only did not look monotonous, but instead set off each other, revealing A different kind of beauty.

Under each screen, there is a charming female envoy sitting on her knees, which is even more eye-catching.

The maidservant means maidservant. The Song Dynasty mainly implemented the employment system, and the employer and the maidservant established an employment contract relationship, so it was called "female envoy".

This point is an improvement over the Tang Dynasty's slaves and maidservants' "Law than Livestock", but in terms of specific implementation, due to the great differences in various records, it is controversial again.

And these female envoys in the lotus hall are very beautiful, obviously carefully selected, Zhang Yu suddenly smiled when he found An Daoquan's small eyes lingering on them.

But when he saw Li Yan's expression, his heart sank slightly.

Zhang Yu would not be worried at all if this man pretended to be innocent and avoided looking at him. Those scholars were serious when they first came, but after getting acquainted with them, their unrestrained attitudes were simply unsightly.

But Li Yan looked at it very calmly, as if he was used to this kind of scene, which was the most troublesome thing.

Fortunately, the details of this man have also been found out. He comes from a family of warriors. Although his father is a seventh-rank promoted officer, he doesn't have much real power. Yes, very easy to control.

"How much knowledge does a gentleman at the age of a weak crown have, and is he afraid that he won't be able to hold you?"

Zhang Yu clapped his hands, Doctor Tea and Doctor Wine lined up on both sides, and the maid began to serve the dishes.

An Daoquan was quickly dumbfounded, because if he didn't talk about the dishes, the plates would be terrible.

Plates, pouring bowls, fruit and vegetable dishes, water vegetable bowls, wine cups, wine jugs, all are shiny silverware.

As far as these utensils and utensils are taken to melt and cast silver, I am afraid that they can melt and cast two or three hundred taels.

This is still in order to fit the elegant theme of the lotus, and goldware is not used, otherwise it will be more extravagant.

Li Yan also couldn't help saying: "I'm afraid that there is only the Seventy-two Main Store in Bianjing in the Great Song Dynasty, with such huge financial resources, no wonder I heard that some foot shops and wine shops want to hold a high-end banquet. The store borrows tableware."

Zhang Yu said with a self-confident smile: "Mr. Lin misunderstood. The use of these tableware in the private room is by no means blindly revealing wealth, but under these special silver plates, it can be supported by burning coals. Only when scholars feast, can the dishes not be cooled. ..."

Li Yandao: "So that's the case, your bank is very thoughtful."

Not long after, the whole table was filled with delicious food and wine, Zhang Yu didn't even need to know the customer to do it for him, but introduced it himself.

When it comes to food, the Song Dynasty really has the right to speak, and the main store gathers all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. It is no exaggeration to say that at the birthday banquet of the official family, nine glasses of wine are required to be served with [-] delicacies , This structure is not dared to be replicated by regular stores, but the dishes inside are fine.

For example, the Shuangxia hump horns ordered by Zhang Yu at this moment, Qunxian Sunburn, Fake Turtle Fish, Honey Floating Crisp Nahua, Belly Soup, etc., are all birthday celebrations but can also be eaten on weekdays.

Anyway, whatever Zhao Ji eats in the palace can be enjoyed in high-end restaurants.

Just have money.

An Daoquan was a little wary at first, but soon couldn't help it, and began to feast.

In his opinion, the delicious food with rich layers bursts out a wonderful feeling in the mouth. Curls of cigarettes rise from the incense burner made of lotus buds. Song, really is all-round enjoyment.

Li Yan is also eating steadily.

Anyway, he doesn't understand the diva's pipa, and he doesn't like to smell the cigarettes, but the food tastes really good.

Of course, the taste is actually the same for modern people. The seasonings of later generations are mainly too overbearing, and monosodium glutamate was killed indiscriminately in ancient times, so the nutritional value is not considered. The family level of rice, the famous Manchu Banquet in the Qing Dynasty, if it is eaten by future generations without modification, most of the dishes will not be acceptable.

Since Li Yan has opened up his tongue consciousness, he can still sensitively receive the deepest taste changes of that kind of ingredients, so he can eat a meal with gusto.

Anyway, there is no need to spend money, you can enjoy it with an open stomach, and there are still things to do after eating!
Zhang Yu first looked at An Daoquan who was gradually getting involved, stroked his beard and smiled.

This kind of greedy means of corruption is always beneficial. As long as you immerse yourself in this kind of life enjoyment, you can only create a steady stream of wealth and value for the guild in the next few days. If you lure it deeper, go to Daxiangguo Temple If you borrow some loan sharks, you can even sell yourself to the guild, so that the doctor can obediently use it for himself.

But when he turned to Li Yan, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help moving his chopsticks.

Don't eat so fast!
While chatting and eating a meal, Zhang Yu opened up the topic several times, making indirect remarks, but in the end, he turned his head and chopsticks into obsession, and finally made a mistake: "This Lin Chong is young and the city is very deep, so he can't see any hobbies. It's really bad." Look down!"

It didn't take long for this idea to surface, but Li Yan looked sideways into the courtyard, and a furry thing jumped out, and his eyes moved immediately.

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up: "Mr. Lin likes being a cicada slave?"

Li Yandao: "I still prefer to call it a little raccoon slave."

In the Song Dynasty, cats had a new name, commonly known as raccoon slaves. Lu You's poems revealed his love, "The firewood in the stream is soft and warm, and I don't go out with raccoon slaves." Later, when the family was poor, I felt that I owed cats My son, "I am ashamed that my family is poor and my policies are poor, and I have no blankets to sit on and no fish to eat."

And when it comes to play, there is always Song Huizong's share. In his "Picture of Raccoon Slave Holding Fish", the cats in his paintings are also leisurely, serene and very interesting.

How could Zhang Yu let go of this opportunity: "There are many lion raccoons in my line, Mr. Lin can take the gift of betrothing cats, and come and pick one to go home."

People in the Song Dynasty have a culture of "hiring cats" when raising cats. When they go to someone else's house to pick up a cat, they need to prepare fish, salt, sugar and other dowry gifts. Go home, and then prepare the cat litter, cat fish, and change the cat and dog. According to speculation, the final change of the cat and dog should be a means of grooming the cat and dog.

Anyway, the poor support the people and the rich support the pets. There are many ways to throw money into it. I still remember that in Liangzhou, An Zhongjing gave Xiao Hei a gift, and there were three leopard slaves serving him. At that time, Li Yan also expressed emotion. There was a huge difference in the Tang Dynasty, but the fact that pets lived better than humans remained unchanged...

At this time, his eyes moved slightly, he shook his head and said, "Thank you, Guanshi Zhang, for your kindness. I'm also planning to raise a cat recently. It's a relatively rare breed. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with the lion civet."

Zhang Yu felt that he was bragging. The yellow and white lion raccoon is the favorite cat of the dignitaries. What breed is better than that, but he was also happy with the vanity of the other party, and deliberately expressed his expectation: "Then I will open it." The vision is gone, and I will visit the Lin Mansion another day!"

Li Yan cupped his hands: "It's easy to say!"

The three of them chatted and chatted a lot before bidding farewell.

After leaving Huixian Tower, An Daoquan sobered up. Thinking of the feeling just now, he secretly thought: "Brother, these guilds are in charge, they are too good at buying people's hearts!"

Li Yan also turned around to look at the main store, and said indifferently: "The more prosperous this Bianjing is, the higher the level of enjoyment in the main store, on the contrary, the more firm my mind is, go back and have a good rest!"

He waved his hand and strode away, his figure melting into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

When he reappeared at the entrance of Wuyou Cave, Li Yan already had a Hanji gun on his back, with five fingers spread out, the Pokémon Master's pet space glowed brightly.

When Xiao Hei appeared, his golden and black body threw himself into his arms, and Li Yan hugged the big cat, showing a heartfelt joyful smile:
"Good man, this time it's up to you again!"
