103, [Visit at the door]
Fang Chang took out the duck with a small jade blade, dipped it in sugar and osmanthus sauce, occasionally stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of beef, then picked up the wine cup and sucked it into a small mouthful.
This performance is very consistent with his current businessman's outfit under his silly manner.
The duck is as delicious as last time, with crispy skin dipped in sugar sootheing every taste bud. The duck meat with osmanthus sauce is fresh and fragrant with shredded sweetness.
Braised beef is slurry and fryed in a pan and then stewed. It has a good color and delicious flavor, full of aroma, rotten but not rinse, tender but not tough. In the square view, this is much better than the cold-cut braised beef sauce beef.
The wine is the same as last time. After warming up, it is put in a thin-mouth porcelain pot. After pouring it into a small white porcelain cup, it has a slightly amber color in the clearness, and the taste is mellow and soft.
Seeing the young man next to him standing beside him, Fang Chang raised his verbal question and asked:
"Little brother, when I came here last time, you had a guy named Chen Yuan here, which is very good. I didn't seem to see him today?"
Seeing Fang Chang talking to him, the clever guy next to him quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly and replied:
"You are talking about Chen Yuan. He suddenly resigned a few days ago and said he wanted to pursue some dreams. I have never seen him again since then."
Fang Chang nodded.
He was very impressed by the young man who yearned for the distance and wanted to see the world.

...
The carriages in the carriage were pulled by two horses, and walked forward on the official road with the tinging ringing rings of the neck.
Its speed is not fast enough, only about twice as fast as ordinary people walking, but its strength is stable and lasting. Therefore, it sets from Huaifeng Mansion in the morning and arrives at Long'an Mansion in the evening.
In the middle, we passed by Helinxi Village, Huqiao Town, but the carriage did not stop. Even the food was brought with us dry food and pickles in the morning. The coachman took it out at noon and gave it to everyone.
The carriage was parked in front of the carriage and horses in Long'an Mansion City. After checking the ticket stub, the itinerary was announced to be over.
The entry fee is already included in the train ticket. When entering the city, the coachman paid the entire number of people according to the number of people. The carriage and two horses also paid ten cents separately. It was not that the charge was random, but that the county government issued regulations very early and long ago, at least in the nearby states.
Fang Chang still had not removed the obstacles, and he was still dressed as a merchant, but the huge package of goods behind him was hidden.
This Longan Mansion is also quite prosperous, similar to Huaifeng Mansion, and is stronger than the Ninghe Mansion, which is under Yunzhongshan.
There are no specialties here, but the advantage is that it is a thoroughfare of many states, which is equivalent to a super large Huqiao Town. Pedestrians, vehicles and ships traveling from south to north are busy, which also creates a relatively unique and open atmosphere here.
Farmers in nearby villages and towns often come to Fucheng or the side of the riverside road in their spare time. Their livelihoods are much easier. Some families who have lost their land simply sell their houses and come to live outside the city.
This makes two miles away from the moat, houses and shops, so this Long'an Mansion City is the highest in Jingzhou in terms of area.
Everyone speaks official language in the world, but there are some differences in accents. In Long'an Mansion, the speed of speaking is much faster than that of the western mansions, and there are more foreign exchanges and more fresh nouns.
Most pedestrians on the road are full of food and clothing, but they walk much hurriedly than other places, which shows that the pace of life here is faster.
Moreover, Fang Chang noticed that perhaps it was economically active but in a disarray, there were a few beggars here. Fang Chang only walked forward two intersections and saw three or four people, each holding a broken bowl and huddled on the side of the road.
There are all kinds of people in Long'an Mansion, mixed with fish and dragons, rich people, scholars studying here, doctors walking around the world, hawkers doing business, clever clothes, errands running houses, women and women shopping, cargo guards, cargo transporters, cargo carrying bags, singing, juggling, shaving pedicures, and three hundred and sixty rows are hustle and bustle.
He even saw that there was a charming banshee who was not afraid of being killed by others and was wandering around behind the rich young man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek.
"Wow, this place is really lively."
He first found a few people, found the location of the Everwang business, and then tried to find out the residence of Uncle Li. Then he found a teahouse next to the road, ordered a pot of tea and a few small snacks, and slowly ate until the night was approaching and the lights were about to come.
It was very prosperous outside. Fang Chang found a store and bought a roast chicken, also known as half a pound of snacks, and walked towards Uncle Li's house.
He knocked on the door three times and someone shouted inside:
"Wait, here you go."
A moment later, an old man with white temples stuck his head out of the crack in the door. When he saw a stranger carrying a gift opposite him, he asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
Fang Chang had six senses and knew that the strange old man was Uncle Li, so he smiled and said, "You are Uncle Li, right? I'm Tang Liang's introduction. After arriving at Long'an Mansion today, I will visit you specially."
"Oh, it turns out that it was Xiao Liangzi who asked you. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly." Uncle Li said quickly, and at the same time, he opened the door, asked Fang Chang to go in, and ordered his family to boil water and make tea.
After sitting down, he continued to say to the other party: "Xiao Liangzi is kind, but you can come as long as you can. I appreciate it very much, so I don't have to bring anything."
But when Fang Chang entered the door, he put the gift in his hand on the table. He heard this and said politely: "It's not a valuable thing, and there's no reason to come to the door with no hands. By the way, there's this."
After saying that, he opened the package, took out a few phoenix pears from it, and placed them on the table.
"Hey? These pears are from Huaifeng Mansion." Seeing the guests take out them, Uncle Li smiled: "This is a good thing, delicious and cheap. When I was young, I would eat a few of them every time I passed by Huaifeng Mansion, and then buy a bunch of them and bring them back for my parents, wives and children to try."
"Other people in the fleet usually do this, but unfortunately, when I get older, I have poor physical strength and can no longer follow the fleet. I haven't eaten it for many years. This pear is resistant to transportation and storage, but after being shipped here, it will be more expensive. My family is not rich and I am always reluctant to buy it..."
Seeing Fang Chang listening carefully, Uncle Li smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just laughing at the customer. Old man, I'm not a person who talks a lot, but when I get older, I can't stop it."
Fang Chang said: "I am happy to listen to these."
After looking at the duck pear on the table again, Uncle Li said, "And speaking of it, this pear has saved my life."
"oh?"
"To be precise, it was the duck pear tree in Huaifeng Mansion. How many years did it come? Our convoy arrived at the territory of Huaifeng Mansion and was chatting happily and singing when he suddenly encountered a robber."
"Those gangs are so cruel. We temporarily stopped and blocked a wave, but they were killed. The bandits were still chasing and slashing. Many people were chased and killed."
"Old man, I ran into the pear forest. Fortunately, the pear tree has thick branches and leaves, and it's good that it's not as thorny as the jujube tree. I hid in the pear tree canopy to avoid the thieves."
