Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 367 Delicious Food
Jiang Changning wanted to do his best as a landlord, so of course Emperor Xuanzhi had to follow her and make her happy. Jiang Changning, who was unhappy last night, made his heart ache.

Hangzhou not only has the picturesque West Lake, but also has mouth-watering Hangbang cuisine.

Hangbang cuisine belongs to Zhejiang cuisine among the eight major cuisines. Zhejiang cuisine is famous for its "refreshing and unique", which pays attention to the selection of fresh ingredients and retains the original flavor of ingredients.

Jiang Changning took Emperor Xuanzhi to Fengweilou. This is a famous restaurant in Hangzhou with countless signature dishes. "My father brought me here when I was young."

On the second floor, Jiang Changning said again: "I remember there was a God of Wealth here."

"It turns out Madam is a regular customer of the shop." The shop clerk said with a smile.

"I came here more than 20 or [-] years ago. At that time, the head chef here was Master Cen Wang. The Dongpo pork he cooked was absolutely outstanding." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"The current head chef of the shop is Master Cen Ping, the son of Master Cen Wang. His culinary skills are better than blue."

"Oh, then I must try this Dongpo pork today."

"The Dongpo meat from the small shop will definitely satisfy my wife." The waiter in the shop said confidently.

Dongpo pork, also known as rolling meat or braised pork, is a famous traditional pork-based dish. It belongs to both Zhejiang and Sichuan cuisines and is a favorite of many diners.

The food came out quickly.

It is worthy of being a famous restaurant in Hangzhou, with top-notch cooking.

As soon as Dongpo meat was served, the meat was fragrant. After Chang Youzhong tried the poison, Jiang Changning took a piece and put it in the bowl of Emperor Xuanzhi, "Master, try it."

"Let's go together, madam." Emperor Xuanzhi, who was courteous, also took a piece for Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning had already been aroused by the strong smell of meat, so he picked it up and bit down without saying a word.

Thin skin and tender meat, mellow and juicy, glutinous but not greasy, melts in the mouth, so delicious that it almost bites the tongue.

After eating a piece, Jiang Changning sighed: "It's extremely delicious, even more delicious than the Dongpo pork in my memory."

"Don't just eat Dongpo meat, try Longjing shrimp."

Longjing Shrimp combines tea and shrimp. This dish is fresh and tender.

The shrimps are jade white, fresh and tender.

The tea leaves are fragrant and elegant in color.

There is tea fragrance in the shrimp, and fresh shrimp in the tea.

The tender green tea buds are not only an embellishment of color, but also a finishing touch to the taste.

"Delicious, the level of Fengweilou is the same as before." Jiang Changning ate with West Lake vinegar fish.

The fish is tender and delicious, and the proportion of vinegar is just right, so that it won't make you feel sour, but will bring out the freshness and sweetness of the fish to the fullest.

I ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root with a lingering fragrance. It was sweet but not greasy. Jiang Changning liked it the most, and he ate several pieces.

The dishes are delicacies, paired with fine Shaoxing rice wine, Jiang Changning's meal was very satisfying, and his mood improved, "Master, I won't go back to the palace for now, I'm going shopping."

The capital has the prosperity of the capital, and Hangzhou has the excitement of Hangzhou.

"Master will accompany you."

Jiang Changning was surprised, "Master, won't you meet those officials?"

On the southern tour, she really came to play, not Emperor Xuanzhi.

Emperor Xuanzhi's southern tour was to observe the people's sentiments and to know the officials well.

It was enough for him to take time to accompany her to pay homage to his parents.

"Today, the master will be arranged by his wife, and if his wife asks him to go there."

Jiang Changning smiled, "Then let the master go shopping with the wife."

"The master will not only accompany the wife, but also pay the bills for the wife."

"Thank you, master." Jiang Changning smiled openly.

Jiang Changning led Emperor Xuanzhi to the market, where merchants gathered and it was very lively.

The shops on both sides of the street are full of guests, and the vendors are also shouting loudly.

There are a wide variety of commodities in the market, which can be called everything.

Jiang Changning didn't enter the shop, but just lingered on the stall, seeing the gadgets on the stall, "This little fisherman will definitely like it."

"This Xiaobai will like it."

"Xiao Ming will like this."

"This little Qian will like it."

I bought a bunch of things and said I would take them back to my children.

Emperor Xuanzhi always looked at her dotingly and smiled, Jiang Changning obviously liked those things, but she chose to use her children as a shield.

He knew that she knew it, but he didn't intend to expose her, he just liked to see her cunning and charming appearance.

Wandering around the market, Jiang Changning bought a lot of things, including trinkets, trinkets, bamboo roots, wood carvings, handkerchiefs, purses, and a lot of odds and ends.

"Oh, why did I buy so many things, and cost the master money." Jiang Changning said politely.

"Madam, a smile is worth a thousand gold." Emperor Xuan Zhi laughed.

Seeing that it was getting late, the couple got into the carriage and returned to the palace.

After dinner, Jiang Changning spread the things he bought all over a long couch, and asked Xiaochun and Banqin to help sort them out.

Emperor Xuanzhi sat drinking tea and said with a smile, "Why are you buying these embroidered handkerchiefs? Aren't the embroiderers in the palace better than those on the street?"

"Master, this is the Suzhou embroidery among the four famous embroideries. It is not inferior to the embroidery in Beijing. Moreover, the Suzhou embroidery has beautiful patterns and clever ideas. Look at this cat playing butterfly, isn't it cute?"

On the white veil, embroidered a yellow cat with soft color and fluffy hair.

A fluttering butterfly encounters it unexpectedly, and the picture uses movement to set off the stillness, with a perfect expression.

The homonym of cat is "old", and the homonym of butterfly is "old". Eighty is called old, and ninety is called old, implying longevity.

Emperor Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows, "This handkerchief, are you going to give it to Xiao Yuer?"

"For the queen mother, come out for a trip. You have to go back with a gift for the mother. The mother has helped me take care of the children. It's hard work."

"The queen mother will like it." Emperor Xuanzhi smiled.

"This veil has a good meaning, and the embroidery is also very good. You can see that the stitches are connected, the stitches are seamless, the color is natural, and there is no needle mark. It fully demonstrates the "flat, neat, fine, dense, even, harmonious, and light" of Suzhou embroidery. , Shun' characteristics, is really a good embroidery."

After Jiang Changning praised it, he sighed again: "This piece of embroidery will cost at least five taels of silver if it is to be placed in the Xiuhua Tower, but it will be sold for ten copper coins at a small stall. It is really a secret investment."

"That's why you don't bargain." Emperor Xuanzhi suddenly realized.

"It's not easy to do embroidery work, which takes a lot of eyes, and I don't lack those three melons and two dates." Jiang Changning said.

Emperor Xuanzhi smiled even deeper, his empress is really a kind and wonderful person.

After Jiang Changning packed his things, he went to take a shower and change clothes, and went to bed to rest.

After a good night's sleep until dawn, the next day, Emperor Xuanzhi summoned the officials, and Jiang Changning and several officials' wives went to Lingyin Temple.

Lingyin Temple is one of the ten famous temples of Zen Buddhism and one of the famous ancient temples in the south of the Yangtze River.

Just to the west of the West Lake, backed by the North Peak, facing Feilai Peak, the two peaks face each other, and the trees are towering.

Although Jiang Changning did not put on the queen's guard of honor and was dressed in ordinary clothes, Lingyin Temple had known for a long time that the queen was coming to offer incense, and cleared out all the idlers in the temple.

The abbot of Lingyin Temple led all the monks in the temple to welcome Jiang Changning at the mountain gate.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has seen the empress, may the empress be safe and happy."

Jiang Changning clasped his palms together and returned the salute, "Amitabha, Master, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

She came to Lingyin Temple because Xushang was her father's foreign friend.
