Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

Although the distance is only nearly a hundred miles, the scenery on the streets of Huaifeng Mansion is different from that of Ninghe Mansion, especially the accents of the residents in the mansion, there are obvious differences between the two sides.

And in comparison, this Huaifeng mansion is much more prosperous than Ninghe mansion, and the pedestrians, vendors, hired workers, children and the elderly in the city all look better.

Gein Huaifeng Mansion is rich in pears, which are big and delicious, with thick and juicy skins, resistant to storage and transportation, and sold well in several states near and far.

When Fang Chang approached the city of Huaifeng Mansion, besides the fields full of rations, there were mostly pear trees on both sides of the waterside, the roadside and the canal.

Those dark purple tree trunks are topped with green leaves, and there are many fruits in the middle, which are light yellow in the sun. If it comes to spring, this Huaifeng Mansion covered with white pear blossoms will definitely be as beautiful as a snowfield.

Thick-skinned pears have a slightly poorer taste, but the characteristics of storage and transportation resistance are the basis for the popularity of this pear in Huaifengfu.

For example, a certain province in the distance is rich in a kind of tribute pear. Because of its thin skin and crispy meat, the water is juicy and sweet, if it accidentally falls on the ground, it will definitely fall to pieces, so it is called "crispy pear".

But also because of this, the transportation of crispy pears is difficult. Except for the people in the prefecture who can eat them and select a small amount as tributes, they cannot be sold outside at all, and the scale of planting has not been able to increase.

On the street, many farmers are selling pears with burdens, and the business is pretty good.

Because this Huaifeng mansion is also considered a transportation hub, there are quite a lot of travelers and businessmen coming and going, and this Huaifeng duck pear has a good reputation, they often buy a few to taste, or take them home for their wives and children to eat.

Fang Chang removed some copper coins from the package and bought two.

The taste is very good, or in other words, it is more delicious than most of the fruits in Yunzhong Mountain, which is worthy of the name.

He is now walking on the widest street in Huaifeng Mansion, wandering around.

Fang Chang looked at everything around with relish, and after a few months of cultivation in the mountains, he felt that the world was like another world.

It's time for dinner again...

Looking up, he chose the highest-grade restaurant around and walked in. There was a signboard hanging on the door of this restaurant, with three big characters on it that were very vulgar - "Yuelaiju".

Seeing Fang Chang walk up the steps, the waiter in the store raised the white towel in his hand over his shoulder, and then came up to meet him:

"Guest officers, please, how many?"

"Only me, give me a seat by the window."

"Okay—the guest officer comes with me~!"

Xiao Er neatly led Fang Chang upstairs, sat down at a table by the window, poured a cup of tea from a large copper pot nearby, and then asked, "What would you like, sir?"

Fang Chang sat down and asked, "What's the signature dish here?"

Obviously trained, the waiter said fluently:

"This restaurant has three specialties. The first is the crispy osmanthus duck. The skin is crispy and the meat is soft, and the color, fragrance and flavor are complete. Every regular customer must order this dish. It can be called the face of Yuelaiju."

"Then there is yellow stewed beef. Since farm cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered, only beef cattle specially raised with a government license can be used as ingredients. And the cattle farmers in Fucheng can only sell one head after a period of time, so it is not every time I come here. They can catch up. There just happens to be fresh beef available today, and the guest officer can order it."

"The last is the Qingjiang laughing fish. This fish is produced in Qingjiang, a hundred miles to the south. It is caught and brought here in barrels. It is freshly slaughtered and cooked in a unique way. It is the most tender and delicious."

Fang Chang nodded: "Then serve a crispy sweet-scented osmanthus duck, pick a few seasonal vegetables and cook it, and then some rotisserie pancakes, and a warm pot of good wine."

The shop waiter in front of him recounted it fluently, and after getting confirmation, he rushed to the back kitchen of Zhiyuelaiju to hand over the menu.

Holding a white porcelain teacup, Fang Chang took a sip of tea and looked around the restaurant.

The business of this Yuelaiju is not bad, but it is far from booming, and it seems that it is going on a steady path.

The inside was not full, and the second floor where Fang Chang was sitting was even more deserted, but there were people in several semi-enclosed boxes, and laughter and the sound of drinking and drinking came out together.

The kitchen materials have been kept complete, and the dishes are served quickly.

It didn't take long for four or five plates to be placed on the square wooden table in front of him, and a plate of white roti cakes, as well as fine wine warmed in a thin-mouth jug, was served.

Seeing that Fang Chang was about to start eating, Xiao Er immediately stepped forward to pour wine and introduce the main course to him at the same time:

"Guest officer, this crispy sweet-scented osmanthus duck should be eaten with the skin and meat separately. In the two sauces next to it, the duck skin can be dipped in sugar. This is a technique learned from the roast suckling pig. The duck meat can be eaten with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce." , the sweet-scented osmanthus sauce is our secret recipe and tastes very good.”

"Thank you." Fang Chang put down his chopsticks, took out a small straight-backed jade knife from his pocket, and ate a piece of duck.

Sure enough, as the waiter in the shop said, this dish is full of color, fragrance and taste, and the skin is crisp and tender.

The duck skin is roasted thin and crispy. After dipped in white sugar, the fat and sugar explode in the mouth together, providing a wonderful feeling passed down from ancient times. The sweet-scented osmanthus sauce is even more sweet and pleasant, which goes well with duck meat.

After the wine is warmed, the taste is even softer, which shows that this good wine is mellow and soft. Several seasonal vegetables are carefully prepared, from which you can feel the profound skills of the chef of Yuelaiju.

Fang Chang ate heartily, and he praised the waiter at the waiter's shop next to him:

"The craftsmanship here is really good."

"That's not true." The shop clerk took it for granted, and there were not many people and things to do at the moment, so he simply chatted with Fang Chang beside him:

"This Yuelaiju is the best and largest restaurant in Huaifeng Mansion. All high-end banquets and parties will be held here..."

After chatting for a while, Fang Chang had already wiped out most of the ducks.

I learned from the waiter in the shop that although this Yue Lai Ju is exquisite in craftsmanship, it is taking the cheap route. The premium of each dish is not much, and the price performance ratio is very high.

After asking for his name, the waiter was named Chen Yuan, and Fang Chang asked:

"Brother Chen, how long have you been working here?"

"It's been two years."

"How do you feel about this job?"

"Very good. Apart from working a little longer every day, it's not too tiring, and it's also very clean. It just needs to keep up with the eyes and work a little bit, which can be considered comfortable, and the wages are very good."

The waiter Chen Yuan praised here a few words, then thought for a while, then slightly lowered his voice and said:

"That's right, I don't like it very much."

"Why?" Fang Chang stopped the action of cutting the duck meat, wondering.

Due to the unique temperament of the person in front of him, Chen Yuan seemed to be very fond of this guest, and he confessed to Fang Chang:

"I also sorted out my dreams, and then found that I yearned for a new life and didn't like staying in the same place every day. Or, I wanted to see this big world."

Fang Chang continued to cut off a few slices of duck meat, and said with a smile:

"But this world is very dangerous. There are monsters, ghosts, man-eating beasts, bandits, and villains with evil intentions. They can even be human buns, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I believe that there are still many good people in this world."

I feel like I’m about to adjust, I’ll try to resume double updates tomorrow~
