Chapter 145 Nine Section Brocade

As the moon traveled southeast, the weather became cooler and cooler. Xiaohu and Fengzhi walked slowly shortly after the wine was presented. Without further ado, Fengzhi naturally sat on the right side of Along as the hostess. Xiaohu, as the deputy leader of the Dragon and Tiger Gang, had already been left on the left side of Along.

At this time in the late summer, hundreds of insects will run out of the dark corners where they live on weekdays, only greedy for the coolness of the moment. The cicadas and the cries of some night owls, from time to time, two unknown birds stand on the treetops and make a crisp sound or two, which are extremely lively and interesting.

The servants and maids in the Longhu Gang's headquarters were not slow to do things. They quickly salvaged several jars of fine wine from the backyard well as according to Ah Long's instructions and delivered them to the few people. As soon as the wine came, the delicious food was delivered, like flowing water, one after another.

Jiangning County City is located in the hinterland of Jiangnan, with many rivers and lakes. The fish are fresh and fresh. In addition, the unique cooking techniques of fish developed by Jiangnan people who have been eating fish for many years, there are probably not many places in the world who can find delicious dishes that can be compared with them.

It is rumored that during the early emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties, the emperors at that time loved to eat a fish from Jiangnan the most, named Jiuduanjin. This fish has nine colors and looks like a good silk, so it is named. There are three colors of fish head, three colors of fish body, and three colors of fish tail. According to rumors, this fish is plump and delicious, especially the fish belly, which melts in the mouth, is fat but not greasy, but it must be a chef who is good at cooking this fish to show the deliciousness.

The emperor accidentally passed by Jiangnan and ate this Jiuduanjin. Since then, he has never forgotten this world. After returning to Jiuwu City, he specially ordered people to take several of them from Jiangnan thousands of miles away to the capital to breed, hoping that this fish can breed more, and then he can have the Jiuduanjin that he can't finish.

Unfortunately, fish recognize water, especially such spiritual fish. The Jiuduan Brocade was brought back to Jiuwu City and died shortly after the world's fortunes gathered. The emperor was deeply saddened and even fasted for three days to serve as a memorial service.

Two years later, the emperor was obsessed with the world's rarest, as if he was crazy. It happened that there was a candidate who passed the exam in Jiangnan. He heard the story of Jiu Duanjin from somewhere and brought a tail from Jiangnan thousands of miles away. Although it was a good fish, he died on the way for a long journey, and it was not as delicious. The emperor thought of his sincere heart and also gave him a fat man to make it.

Seeing that the emperor was so obsessed with Jiu Duan Jin, the candidate proposed a plan, saying that he could bring him back from Hangzhou, traveling day and night, and traveling along the water and land, perhaps bringing Jiu Duan Jin back to Jiuwu City alive.

The emperor was immediately happy and issued this order the next day. For a moment, the prefectures along the way opened a new route to transport Jiuduanjin. Before dawn, they began to go down the river to catch fish. As expected, just a moment before the time passed, the Jiuduanjin was sent to Jiuwu City.

It is not a solution to have fish but no chef can cook. The chefs in the imperial kitchen were holding this fish that looked extremely strange. They didn't know where to start and looked at each other. There was no way, so they had to bite the bullet and divide the fish into three sections, make soup with the head, and the body was the most delicious, so they steamed it. The meat on the tail was tighter, so they put on heavy ingredients to make a braised fish tail.

Unexpectedly, the dragon's mouth was difficult to adjust, and the emperor frowned at a glance. This was completely different from the Jiuduan Jin he had eaten before. After tasting it again, the fish head soup was bitter and hard to swallow, without any umami flavor. The steamed fish body had a sour taste, and it was a bit fishy smell. The fish tail was loose and difficult to eat.

Seeing that the emperor could not eat the fish he liked, the candidate searched privately and found the chef who made the fish for the emperor, and secretly brought it to Jiuwu City with a lot of money. After that, the emperor could eat this world-famous every day.

Just for the sake of this world's most precious thing, how much manpower and material resources are wasted on the way from Jiuwu City to the capital, and how many people have suffered a lot of hardships for this, only God knows.

More than ten years later, the chef passed away due to illness, and no one in the world knew how to make this Jiuduan Brocade. Shortly after the chef passed away, the emperor died of depression.

This story was told after drinking a lot of wine. Ruan Buyi and Ah Long talked about the customs and customs of Jiangnan. According to Ruan Buyi himself, the authenticity of this story is no longer verified. It is possible that the people in Jiangnan think that their fish are the most fresh in the world, so they fabricated such a story. Maybe it is true, but it is already a passing cloud.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. Except for Yun Zangfeng, Feng Zhi and Hu Li who did not drink, the rest of the people were drunk. Ruan Buyi was old and drank less, but his cheeks were also flushed, and the wrinkled face had these two more blushing, which looked younger.

Looking at the people tilted on the table, Yun Zangfeng shook his head with a wry smile, and filled himself with a glass of wine. He was about to put it in his mouth when he saw Wan Qianqiuqiang standing up and holding a jar of wine that had not been opened before and said to him: "Young Master Yun, the two brothers in the daytime are ignorant, which has caused trouble for Young Master Yun. I am the captain, and I am here to match Young Master Yun. If you respect me, Wan, we will do this jar of wine."

Yun Zangfeng hurriedly stood up and advised: "Captain Wan, just drink and enjoy the fun. The alcoholic smell hurts the liver. I also have many things wrong with this matter. Let's expose it, how about it?"

When Wan Qianchou heard this, he put down the jar of wine, kicked the white-faced black bear guard and the leopard-headed man beside him, and then said, "Look at the bird's work you two have done, why don't you get up and apologize to Brother Yun quickly and punish yourself for three cups."

The white-faced black bear guard and the leopard-headed man had already drunk a lot. The members of the Dragon and Tiger Gang had toasted Ruan Buyi one by one, and then they gave him a round of salutes. Now that they were drunk, they were already drowsy.

However, the captain had an order, and the two had to listen. They forced themselves to stand up and reimburse Yun Zangfeng for some reason, then picked up the jar and poured it into their mouths.

"Okay, please feel free!" Yun Zangfeng had to admire the Black Bear Guards when he saw this. It was obvious that they could no longer drink it, but obeying the captain's orders was already an instinct in the body. No matter whether it was within his own ability, as long as the captain gave the order, it must be completed.

So Yun Zangfeng did not give any more advice. It can be seen that although Hei Xiong Wei and his men are tall and big, they rarely drink alcohol on weekdays, otherwise four people would not be able to drink Aaron and Xiaohu.

Since they were all so sincere, Yun Zangfeng couldn't refute others' face. He immediately picked up another jar of wine and poured his stomach "gudong gudong" down. After drinking the two of Hei Xiong Wei and the other two drank, threw the jar to the side, and lay on the ground, dying without any hesitation.

Looking at these black bear guards who were still like children, Ruan Buyi shook his head in disgust and said to Yun Zangfeng: "These incompetent guys have made Young Master Yun laugh. I wonder if Young Master Yun can speak with one step?"

As soon as Ruan Buyi said this, Yun Zangfeng knew that the main topic was coming tonight. However, he had already given him enough face and showed full sincerity. Yun Zangfeng naturally would not be too arrogant. He nodded immediately and made a "please" gesture to signal Ruan Buyi to lead the way.

The two of them walked outside the Dragon and Tiger Gang headquarters. There were crisscrossing rivers and bridges outside. Whenever they arrived, the slight moisture of the river was blowing on their cheeks. It was very comfortable and the alcohol was a little clear.

"Mr. Ruan came out to talk to Yun alone, aren't you afraid that Yun would harm him with some brute force?" Yun Zangfeng asked in a little disappointed manner.

"What's the point of my life as an old man? If Young Master Yun likes it, just take it away. If a person dies, it's no different if he dies in the hands of Young Master Yun." Ruan Buyi laughed and answered Yun Zangfeng's words, as if he didn't regard Yun Zangfeng as a person who threatened his life at all.

The two of them took a walk slowly to a small bridge. There were several stone piers on the bridge, which were smooth and clean. It seemed that someone had moved here specifically, and they were even used frequently recently.

Ruan Buyi was old and unable to get physical strength, so he found a stone pier to sit down and slowly rub his knees. While rubbing, he said, "Those children are not bad by nature, but they have been training in an inhumane place since childhood. They are inevitably more weird in temperament. I hope Young Master Yun will not be surprised."

"What did Lord Ruan say? Can he be stranger than Yun?" Yun Zangfeng laughed, "However, the previous few people toasted and apologized, Lord Ruan's indirect attacks are indispensable behind it, right?"

Ruan Buyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, young people are ignorant and do not know the worldly ways. I, an elder, naturally have to remind them. When they go out, they protect my safety, so I naturally have to help them in some places."

After talking here, Yun Zangfeng felt that the greetings were almost done. Ruan Buyi’s purpose of chatting with him alone was definitely not as simple as gossiping, so Yun Zangfeng’s face suddenly turned cold: “Mr. Ruan, let’s talk about it here if you don’t want to say anything else. Let’s open the skylight and say something bright. You will come out to talk to Yun today, not just gossiping, right?”
