Xue Pan originally thought that going out to do business this time would allow him to relax, not to be restrained by anyone, and to drink and hang out freely, but he didn't want to be messed with by Xifeng. On the road, I was honest and honest, and I didn't even dare to eat too much wine.

Zhang Dehui was secretly amazed that the second young master of the Wang family might be stricter in his family, and his etiquette and behavior couldn't be better.What kind of temperament is Mr. Xue Pan Xue? As a man, it doesn't matter what he relies on the big officials and uncles in the capital, and he can't explain his old bones here.But along the way, Xue Pan was very obedient, and he didn't have anything to worry about, which is really strange!

It was raining lightly outside at this moment, and Xifeng had already got into the carriage with Lemon. The road at this time was not as good as the modern road, with constant bumps and bumps. Fortunately, she had the foresight to prepare it in the carriage. A thick layer of felt, leaning against the soft pillow, unsteadily closing his eyes as if falling asleep.

Seeing that Xifeng was sleeping with her eyes closed, Lemon thought to herself that after a few days of hard work, ordinary real men would hardly be able to bear it, let alone a delicate daughter like her own lady, even with martial arts, she would be exhausted , then took a thin quilt and gently attached it to Xifeng's body.

"Lemon, where are we?" Xifeng asked with her eyes closed.

Lemon never thought that the lady hadn't fallen asleep, so she was taken aback. She raised the curtain and asked the servant beside her where she was.Zhang Dehui heard the young master asked, so he ordered the driver to drive the car to the side of Xifeng's carriage, and smiled through the curtain: "Young master, we are almost at the border of Suzhou, it is a good place!"

"Oh? What's the benefit, old man, let me hear it?"

The journey was lonely, there was constant light rain outside, and the road was muddy. Zhang Dehui was already old, and even when he was sitting in the carriage, he felt uncomfortable from time to time. He was thinking of finding someone to chat with, when Xifeng happened to ask.

Zhang Dehui twirled his white beard and said with a smile: "This Suzhou, called Wu in ancient times, also known as Gusu, is a rich land of fish and rice. There are unique garden landscapes there and people call it 'paradise on earth'.

Among them, the most famous places are Hanshan Ancient Temple and Jiangfeng Ancient Bridge. Throughout the ages, countless talented scholars and Qing guests have come there to sing and tour. It is very lively! "

"Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bell rings to the passenger ship. It is indeed a famous place." Xifeng nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Dehui saw that this son of the Wang family was not as ignorant as his own son, but had a lot of writing in his chest, so he liked it in his heart, so he started to talk endlessly.

"Like our businessmen, the elegant lands where the literati go are not a good place for us. This time we go to buy some local specialties, and then bring them back to Jinling for sale in order to get a good price.

The most famous ones in Gusu are Biluochun tea and Suzhou embroidery.Every time the little old man passes through this Suzhou, he has to buy a large amount. Our Jinling is not too far away from this Suzhou, and it is cheap to go back and forth. Go to some good bodyguard bureaus to guard the bodyguards, otherwise you will be in trouble if you meet some bandits. "

Xifeng nodded and said: "My family often eats this tea, and it is indeed much better than ordinary spring tea. This tea is mostly produced in Dongting. It is a famous specialty in Suzhou and one of the top ten famous teas in my country. It was famous as early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties. , has a history of more than a thousand years. It is said that it was given the name by the late emperor when he visited Suzhou in the south, and it is called "Biluochun".

The geographical environment of Dongting Mountain is unique, with continuous flowers in four seasons, and interplanting of tea trees and fruit trees, so Biluochun tea has a special flower fragrance.And the production requirements are very high. In early spring, when the tea buds first sprout, the bud tips, that is, "one flag and one gun" are picked when they are no longer than half an inch, and are processed by a series of special processes such as killing greens, roasting, and kneading.

Looking closely at this tea, we can see that the cords are even, graceful in shape, curly like snails, full of hairs, thick in color, rich in aroma, and sweet in aftertaste.This tea is a high-quality tea, and my father told me to choose the best one and bring back tens of catties.

The old man is the old shopkeeper next to my brother, he must have a bright eye, and he will help me choose carefully when the time comes. "

Zhang Dehui didn't expect this little brother to know Biluochun's origin and appearance like a treasure, so he couldn't help treating Xifeng differently, and became even more respectful.

In a big carriage ahead, Xue Pan's grunts kept coming and going. Zhang Dehui compared the two brothers in his heart, and suddenly became discouraged. This eldest son is really not as good as him.

Then I heard the prince of the Wang family ask: "Old man, how long will it take for us to enter the city?"

Zhang Dehui turned his head and said: "After walking for an hour, you can see the city gate of Suzhou. Isn't the young master hungry? The old man brought some dry food. If you don't think it's rough, you can fill your stomach first."

Xifeng hastily declined and said: "Old man, you are welcome, my servant has prepared a lot of snacks for me, but I don't like to eat a lot of dry food during the journey. I originally wanted to go to the city to drink some hot soup, but I don't know what is delicious in Suzhou city. Yes, I can also be the host, please invite the elder brother and the old man, you have worked hard to guide me this way."

Zhang Dehui dared not dare, and introduced the food of Suzhou to Xifeng, but the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake was the one that interested Xifeng the most.

Although Xifeng was born in a well-to-do family in her previous life, she had never eaten authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. The crabs back then were bred and artificially grown, so the taste must not be as delicious as in this life.

And Yangcheng Lake hairy crab is the "king of crabs", its color, aroma, and taste are naturally wonderful. The orange-red crab roe, white jade-like grease, and white and tender crab meat are the best in color, aroma, and taste. There is nothing better than this, which is unmatched by crabs in other lake areas. No wonder there is a saying: "Crabs in Yangcheng Lake are not good, so why live in Suzhou in this life."

Thinking of delicious crabs, Xifeng suddenly became energetic and ordered Lemon to go to the front carriage to wake up Xue Pan.That Mr. Xue was sleeping soundly, he was forced to wake up by the lemon, he was about to lose his temper when he found out that the person in front of him was the servant of the demon star, he swallowed back the cursing words and asked what was the matter.

Xifeng laughed loudly, "Brother's dream was disturbed, so my little brother should accompany my brother. Thinking about the exhaustion of boats and vehicles these few days, and the lack of people and horses, my little brother wants to do something in the Suzhou city ahead, so I invite my brother to have some food with the old shopkeeper." Mansion Crab, drink some wine, take a good rest, and then go shopping for fresh goods."

Seeing that there was wine and fun, how could Xue Pan not be happy, so he immediately cheered up and talked with Xifeng without mentioning it.
