Chapter 190 Lively Guo Sheng
"One more hour will be enough." The steward gestured to the boat boss and replied respectfully.
Guo Sheng's boat behind was in a hectic state, with all its sails pulled, but it still couldn't keep up. Bai Jingning watched for a while and then ordered the steward: "Slow down and let them get closer."
The sail of Bai Jingning's boat fell halfway down. Guo Sheng was overjoyed and signaled to Hu Panshi to hold on. He chased for a quarter of an hour, falling slightly behind Bai Jingning's boat by half a boat, and came up parallel.
Guo Sheng stretched half of his body out of the boat, facing Bai Jingning and Bai Qiao who were standing in front of the mast, waving his hands vigorously and shouting: "It's me! Old Hu! And my cousin! We meet again."
Come on! I didn’t expect to meet you. Come closer! Come closer! Can’t get closer? Okay, okay, that’s it!”
Bo Qiao looked at Guo Sheng, who was dancing excitedly, and Xu Huan, who was standing behind Guo Sheng, smiling and waving to him and his father, and laughed, "These two... really found a boat to float to the sea.
Already."
Bai Jingning was carefully looking at Guo Sheng's boat and the boatmen on it. But he couldn't see anything. He knew very little about sea-going ships. As for the boatmen on the boat, they moved neatly and powerfully, and their feet were very clear.
Stable, but the boatmen at sea seem to have such a stable base. Otherwise, they would not be able to stand on the sea with no wind and three feet of waves.
He couldn't see anything wrong, but he always felt that the boat opposite and Guo Sheng on the boat were not that simple. But Xu Huan was a real scholar.
The wind was not light today, and the waves were naturally not too light. Guo Sheng shouted to get closer, and Hu Panshi next to him shouted that he could not get closer. It would not be possible to give more money. Who would pay if the boat was damaged?
Bai Qiao watched Guo Sheng and Hu Panshi jumping around and couldn't stop laughing. Bai Jingning watched for a while and signaled the steward to shout to Mr. Hu and Mr. Xu to calm down. The boat will moor in a while and it won't be too late to talk to each other again.
.
Guo Sheng and Xu Huan finally got back on the boat, and the two boats entered Huating Port quickly, one behind the other.
Compared with the docks in small towns like Tangni, Huating is much more lively. The plank road stretches long into the sea. Smaller boats can directly dock on the plank road. The two boats Baijia and Hu Panshi
, it was considered a very big ship, and it was anchored outside.
Several large cargo ships traveling from south to north also docked at Huating Port one after another.
After the boat moored, it was very close. Guo Sheng leaned out his upper body, cupped his hands to Bai Jingning and Bai Qiao, and shouted loudly: "This Huating has good white goat meat. I'll invite you two. Let's get off the boat right away."
?”
Bai Jingning had already made up his mind, smiled and cupped his hands, making a sign of getting off the boat.
Guo Sheng and Xu Huan got off the boat. Next to them, Bai Jingning, Bai Qiao, and a dozen guards also boarded the boat.
After landing on the shore, Guo Sheng stepped forward, bowed to Bai Jingning to the end, and bowed his hands to Bai Qiao, his eyes shining with joy, "As expected, I met you. We are really destined to meet you thousands of miles away! Yesterday I met you two
After we broke up, my cousin and I discussed how we might as well find a boat and float on the sea for a few days. Speaking of which, my cousin and I had not been on the sea for some years.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, I found a boat in Huating Port. The price was not expensive. The boss of the boat was honest and neat. He was an old acquaintance. I knew him in the early years. I didn’t expect that he is now the boss. It’s so far away. It’s rare.
He had a good boat and we were old acquaintances, so my cousin and I hired him.
This morning, before dawn, my cousin urged the captain of the boat to set off, but there was a south wind all morning. I thought I wouldn't be able to meet you. What a coincidence, we are destined."
Guo Sheng looked very excited, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he kept talking.
Bai Qiao laughed. Bai Jingning hurriedly patted him. Bai Qiao hurriedly suppressed his laughter. Xu Huan patted Bai Qiao on the shoulder from the other side, "Just laugh if you want. He is a person who doesn't mind this."
Bai Qiao couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into laughter. As soon as he burst out laughing, he quickly bowed his head and explained to Guo Sheng, "I don't mean anything else. I'm really happy to see you again, sir."
"I understand, I understand. I have such a lively personality. Everyone is very happy when they see me. I accompanied my cousin to a cultural gathering, and people said that my cousin was invited because of me." Guo Sheng laughed.
It's louder than Boqiao.
Even Bai Jingning burst into laughter. This Hu Sheng was really lively when he saw him.
Guo Sheng kept talking along the way, and a few people unknowingly walked from the pier into the bustling city. While Guo Sheng was talking, he didn't waste time walking to pick a place, pointing to the most prosperous and lively place from a distance.
Next door to a restaurant, "... I am familiar with Huating. I have been here countless times. Look at that restaurant, which is the most luxurious and conspicuous. In fact, the food and wine in that restaurant are not as good as those in the restaurant next door."
The master is from Pingjiang Prefecture. I heard that he was born as an imperial chef in the previous dynasty. He has several specialty dishes, which are very rare..."
As Guo Sheng spoke, he rushed forward and led everyone into the Qingyuan Building next door.
Compared with its neighbor, Qingyuan Building is much more reserved and quiet.
Bai Qiao entered the lobby, turned around and looked around. Bai Jingning looked at his son and said with a smile: "This Qingyuan Building and the Qingyuan Building in the capital are both owned by the same family. This is probably where the old lady of the previous generation returned to her hometown to be recuperated.
, the one I opened when I had nothing to do, Mr. Hu knows a lot."
Bai Jingning looked at Guo Sheng, "His family is indeed an imperial chef from the previous dynasty. He has served Renzong all his life. He has rare good craftsmanship. There are indeed several family-generated specialties. His family's rules must be present in every restaurant.
The same dishes are only sold in this restaurant, but I don’t know which ones they are in this restaurant.”
Guo Sheng stared at Bai Jingning in great surprise, "Is it true? I thought it was... Mr. Bai didn't know that such legends are known to be time-honored and can be found in every family. I really didn't dare to take them seriously. Mingzhou City
There is also Qingyuan Restaurant, which is not available in Hangzhou. The specialty dishes of this restaurant... I really don’t know about this. In fact, every restaurant you mentioned must have a specialty dish that is only sold here. This is also my first choice.
I heard about it once.”
Guo Sheng is very straightforward. If he doesn’t know, he just doesn’t know.
Bai Jingning smiled and stepped in to let Guo Sheng and Xu Huan go upstairs first. As he walked, he looked at the waiter and asked, "Which dish in your restaurant is the best at Dangtou?"
The waiter had already heard a few people talking about each other. He walked briskly upstairs without stopping. He turned around and leaned over and said with a smile: "You guys are all well-informed. This is the rule in a small shop. The best in a small shop."
The specialty is braised pork knuckles, which is the specialty of the ancestor who opened this restaurant. Most of the other dishes are mutton, which is good if it is boiled in clear soup, braised in braised oil, and shrimps and fish are all fat now.
It's great, there are saury and saury today. Please come over here, this room can see the sea in the distance, it's the brightest."
