high official

Chapter 944 Unpredictable
When Wang Xian returned to Qingzhou City, it was already dark. Tang Tiande's personal captain, Lao Li, was waiting at the door, took Wang Xian's reins and said with a smile, "Sir, you are back. The elder is waiting for you for dinner."

"Oh, what a crime!" Wang Xian was overwhelmed by the words, quickly got off his horse, and followed Lao Li to the dining room.

"My old Li has been with the elder for decades, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of courtesy from sir!" Lao Li said with a smile on his face, "Mr.

"Where is there, 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.Seeing Wang Xian, Tang Tiande smiled and said, "Sir, you may be back, sit down quickly, let's eat quickly!"

"It's a sin to keep the elder waiting." Wang Xian apologized incessantly, "If I knew the elder was waiting, the student would have returned early!"

"Hey, Mr. is going to send off the old master, how can I stop this old man." Tang Tiande shook his head and smiled, "It's been so long, it shows that Mr. is righteous! My heart is only respect, not unhappy!" He pointed to the seat next to him and said : "Sit down!"

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

Elder Tang didn't speak, and looked at Wang Xian with a smile. Wang Xian's expression first changed from calm to surprise, and then from surprise to excitement!
Then, Wang Xian stood up all of a sudden, bowed deeply to Elder Tang, tears were clearly rolling in his eyes...

Elder Tang was very satisfied with his reaction, he helped Wang Xian up with a smile and said, "Sir, there is no need to be like this. Although this table of Huaiyang cuisine is not easy to buy, you can afford it!"

It turns out that all the dishes on the table are stewed crab noodles with lion head, long fish in soft pockets, Wensi tofu, three sets of duck, crystal meat, etc., all of which are famous Huaiyang dishes!

"Elder, student, student, I don'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 serious!Yesterday, during the evening talk at Bingzhu, Elder Tang asked him about his life experience as usual.Wang Xian knew that this was definitely not a casual chat, but a background check on himself.

At that time, Wang Xian didn't care too much, because Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong had asked about it before, so he said it twice, such as 'Yangzhou Renshi', 'Budi Juzi', 'Implicated in Weijian' and so on. The rhetoric, and said it to Elder Tang.Unexpectedly, after only one day, Elder Tang prepared this table of 'hometown food' for himself!
No matter what Tang Tiande's intentions are, this carefulness alone is enough to make Wang Xian vigilant and remind himself that now he is not dealing with rough people like Liu Jun and Zhuge Hong, but dealing with a sophisticated old fox!
When Wang Xian lowered his arms, only gratitude remained on his face.

"Sir, eat quickly, it won't look good when it's cold..." Tang Tiande greeted Wang Xian with a smile.

"Then, the students should be respectful rather than obedient." Wang Xian bowed his hands to Tang Tiande, scooped up a spoonful of Wensi tofu and put it in his mouth. I'm afraid I can't cut such shredded tofu with my skill!" He asked curiously, "Where did the elder invite the famous chef?"

"It just so happens that my chef, Mr. Zhang, is from Yangzhou." Elder Tang said with a smile, "Today I heard that Mr. is from his hometown, so I specially showed my ability to take care of the house. Usually, I can't afford it." !"

"Oh?" Wang Xian's heart tightened again, his brain turned rapidly, and he said without hesitation: "Then we must see each other!"

"Of course, if you don't tell me, the old man will also introduce you." Elder Tang said to Lao Li beside him, "Let Lao Zhang come over."

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

"Elder, please use more." Wang Xian nodded with a smile, holding a chopstick in every dish, eating with a look of intoxication.But in fact, he completely ignored the delicacy of Huaiyang cuisine, and devoted all his thoughts to preparing for the next test!
Yes, Chef Zhang who appeared out of nowhere must be used by Elder Tang to test his identity!If Wang Xian doesn't raise his vigilance, he will really feel sorry for those brothers who died!
.

During the cupping of tea, a chubby middle-aged cook came in with a soup pot, smiling all over his face, and apologized again and again: "Excuse me, elder, I'm late waiting for the puffer fish soup!"

"What, puffer fish soup?" Elder Tang changed his expression when he heard the words: "This thing will eat the dead!"

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

"Eat! Of course! How can there be Yangzhou people who dare not eat puffer fish!" Wang Xian said without hesitation, speaking authentic Yangzhou official dialect!

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

Chef Zhang opened the soup pot, filled a bowl of fish soup, scooped up a lot of fish meat, and brought it to Wang Xian with a playful smile. Wang Xian laughed in Yangzhou dialect: "One white, two skins, three soups and four meats. What? , the chef is not willing to give me fish white fish skin?"

Chef Zhang said with an embarrassed smile, "Mr. is indeed an expert." Then he scooped up another bowl of octopus and white fish skin for Wang Xian.Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Xian immediately picked up the bowl and tasted it carefully. While eating, he exaggeratedly shook his head and said, "Fresh! It's really fresh! It's so fresh!"

Chef Zhang looked at Elder Tang again, and nodded slightly again.In this era, in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Yangzhou, no one dared to eat puffer fish, because only the cooks in Yangzhou could cook puffer fish!Wang Xian is so addicted to eating, he should be from a big family in Yangzhou.

As everyone knows, Wang Xian just believes that Elder Tang will not poison himself to death now, risking his life, and absolutely must not reveal his secrets!

But having said that, this puffer fish is really delicious!It was the best delicacy he had ever eaten in his life!Moreover, the stimulation with a violent heartbeat is really irresistible, so Wang Xian can only say: "One more bowl!"

Chef Zhang filled another bowl for Wang Xian with a smile. Elder Tang asked Chef Zhang to sit down as well. Chef Zhang thanked him and was willing to take the last seat.

After drinking the puffer fish soup, Mr. Hei drank a lot of yellow soup, and the whole person was excited!Pulling Chef Zhang's arm, he took the initiative to chat with him in Yangzhou dialect. This Yangzhou dialect is the blueprint of Huaiyang official dialect in Ming Dynasty. Wang Xian can speak authentic Huaiyang official dialect, which has the foundation to speak Yangzhou dialect well.Moreover, he and Dai Hua had already adjusted the subtleties in their tone of voice, so it was more than enough to pretend to be a Yangzhou native who had been away from home for more than ten years!
Even the most difficult to impersonate local dialect can be learned vividly, as for the local customs, old streets and old appearance of Yangzhou, Wang Xian is no problem!That Chef Zhang and Wang Xian went around, never leaving Yangzhou in every aspect, Wang Xian could answer the questions fluently and deal with them with ease, which made Elder Tang put his heart back to his stomach, and said to the two with a smile: "You two are talking so lively, Could it be that you didn't know each other before?"

"How can a villain know Mr. Hei?" The chef shook his head and said with a wry smile: "20 years ago, the Hei family was a well-known big family in Yangzhou, with poems and books passed down through the family, and there were eight Jinshi flags at the door! That's amazing. Woolen cloth!"

"Hey, it's six faces." Wang Xian drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, his mouth was not sharp, and he counted them one by one with his fingers.From his grandfather, uncle, cousin, all the way to his third brother!

"Speaking of the third master, the villain is really lucky to have met a few times!" Chef Zhang interrupted suddenly: "I was working as a cook at Cuiwei Building in Yangzhou at the time, and the third master would come to eat sometimes. The third master has a decent life! Tall, with a high nose bridge, and a pair of black and thick eyebrows! Only a villain can remember until now..." After finishing speaking, Chef Zhang stared at Wang Xian.

"Hey, you got the wrong person," Wang Xian shook his head sleepily and said, "My third brother is not a tall man, isn't he..." After finishing speaking, he fell down on the table with a plop, and died of drunkenness!

"Mr. Hei, sir..." Chef Zhang poked Wang Xian, seeing no response, he said to Elder Tang: "Mr. Hei is drunk."

"Help Mr. to rest." Elder Tang nodded and said to Lao Li.

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

At the moment, the chef's eyes are introverted, his temples are bulging, he doesn't look like a cook at all!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: "Not to mention, I have indeed met the third master of the Hei family. He is a bastard, and the Hei family is indeed only six Jinshi flag..."

"En." Elder Tang nodded. This man surnamed Zhang was actually a headhunter in Yangzhou City. He committed a crime and was sent to Shandong. By chance, he met Elder Tang and followed him.Elder Tang believed in Zhang Butou's sharp moves, not to mention that Zhang Butou was born and raised in Yangzhou.

"Now the old man can rest assured," Elder Tang looked at Zhang Butou, with a relieved smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, but you have to be careful in the future, it would be ugly if he saw the flaws."

"Hey, who made his subordinates cocoon themselves and insisted on pretending to be a cook..." Zhang catcher shook his head and smiled wryly.

.

Carried Wang Xian back to the room and put him on the bed, and then 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 explain every street in Yangzhou clearly because he had accompanied the prince to inspect Yangzhou. It can be said that the Hei family has six Jinshi flags, that is because Jin Yiwei's intelligence collection is in place!However, no matter how well the information is collected, it will not involve whether Mr. Hei's third brother is tall or short, and whether his eyebrows are thick or thin!

Just now, Wang Xian said that the third brother Hei is not a tall man, it is all because of his tricks...

Fortunately, I was right...
