Yesterday, the county magistrate and the others stepped on the some pleasure boat. Today, they were decorated even more prosperous. Yesterday, not only were the lights and decorations, but also laid the red carpet. Zhang County magistrate and others bowed their waists and brought the grandfather Qian into the pleasure boat.

"You guys have the will."

Master Qian pinched the orchid fingers, swayed his figure, walked into the pleasure boat, and naturally sat in the main seat. Before sitting down, Master Qian wiped the chair with an embroidered handkerchief. Seeing that there was no trace of dust on it, he nodded with satisfaction.

After receiving the affirmation of the Grandpa Qian, County Magistrate Zhang and his men immediately felt as if they had drunk sweet wine, which was so beautiful that they felt that their slaves had been in vain for a day in advance, and they became more and more attentive.

In order to please Mr. Qian, County Magistrate Zhang specially entrusted several layers of relationship and invited three chefs from the city to cook various delicacies and delicious foods at any cost. Since Mr. Qian sat down, he put plates of delicacies on the table like flowing water, and the wine that had been stored for more than a hundred years has been aged in jars after jars.

On both sides of the river bank, there are more stray dogs chasing the pleasure boat...

County Chief Zhang and his team spent a lot of effort to carefully prepare delicacies, but failed to satisfy Eunuch Qian.

"This Longjing shrimp emphasizes the white and tender shrimp meat, and the buds and leaves are fragrant. Unfortunately, the heat of this plate is not enough. If it is three points lighter, it will be tender. The fragrance of buds and leaves cannot be soaked in the shrimp..."

With the diligent recommendation of Zhang County Chief and others, Eunuch Qian tasted a bite of Longjing shrimp. He only ate half of the shrimp. Then he put down his chopsticks, wiped his lips with an embroidered handkerchief, and commented lightly.

Is the heat not there?

A group of clerks tasted a bite of shrimp and almost swallowed their tongues into their stomachs. Why did we eat something delicious?

"Ahem, Master Qian tasted this West Lake vinegar fish. This dish is the well-deserved 'leader' of Jiangnan cuisine. Master Liu, who we specially invited from Taizhou City, is the chef who is best at making West Lake vinegar fish in Taizhou Prefecture."

Seeing that the father-in-law Qian had not eaten well, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. At this time, a dish of West Lake vinegar fish came. The county magistrate Zhang looked very happy and hurriedly took the dish with his own hands, and placed it in front of the father-in-law Qian with both hands.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Eunuch Qian stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, and took a light bite.

After a bite of fish, Mr. Qian chewed it for a while, and slowly spit out a few tiny fish bones.

Everyone looked at Eunuch Qian expectantly, waiting for Eunuch Qian's evaluation.

Master Liu is an expert in West Lake vinegar fish and is a famous person throughout Jiangnan.

County Chenggong Zhang and others were full of confidence and believed that this West Lake vinegar fish would definitely be praised by Eunuch Qian.

However, they were disappointed again.

"The sauce is so sloppy and the fish is tender enough, but the fineness is not enough. The imperial chef in the palace made this West Lake vinegar fish, but he couldn't eat a fish bone. Before cooking, the imperial chef had already jumped out every thorn. The fish bone was put on a plate and just formed a fish shape..."

Gonggong Qian wiped his mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and shook his head slightly. He didn't have a high opinion of this dish.

"Haha, that's right. I've never eaten any delicacies in the palace. I'm just laughing at me."

Yao Zhubu smiled slightly and said in a compliment.

"Where are, the family is just serving the Empress, and I have gained some benefits..."

Grandpa Qian embroidered a quilt with half covering his lips and said modestly, with a very humble voice in his words and a full of pride on his face.

It’s hard to serve even if you are neither male nor female!

Li Dianshi was very whispered in his heart, but he did not dare to show any of it on his face. County Magistrate Zhang specifically explained to him that he would treat Eunuch Qian as his ancestor and coax him to Jingnan to deal with Zhu Ping'an.

Although Master Qian is picky about food, under the deliberate compliment of Master Yao, County Chenggong Zhang and others, and the continuous flow of work, the food at this banquet was a joyful and enjoyable meal. Naturally, the banquet was about the job of Master Qian going to Jiangnan.

"Old Master Qian, just buy gold and treasure pearls to come to our Jingnan. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the famous pearl towns in our Ming Dynasty, and Jingnan is also the famous pearl place in our Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even the famous Zhuji is not as good as our Jingnan." County Magistrate Zhang held the wine glass in both hands, respectfully respecting the glass of Mr. Qian, and said after drinking.

"Oh?" When I heard the pearl, Eunuch Qian became obviously interested. "Shaoxing Zhuji, the ancient capital of Yue Kingdom, and the hometown of Xishi, is the famous pearl town of my Ming Dynasty. This miscellaneous family knows that it is said that Fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace has a great pearl that is the best in the world. She often plays with her in her palms, and her fairy spirit lingered. One day, Fairy Chang'e was unable to withstand loneliness and secretly met with Wu Gang under the osmanthus tree, leaving the pearls to guard the golden rooster. The golden rooster threw the pearls around and played secretly, accidentally.

The pearl fell into the mortal world. The golden rooster chased the pearl and came down to the mortal world. The pearl fell into the Huansha River in Zhuji. The pearl was spiritual. Seeing that the beautiful mountains and rivers were far better than the cold moon palace, they refused to go back. In order to avoid the pursuit of the golden rooster, the pearl flew from the Huansha River into the mouth of the woman washing silk by the stream. The woman gave birth to Xi Shi with pearls, so there was an allusion that "he tasted her mother bathed in the stream, and the pearl was pregnant when she was pregnant." Zhuji was also called the hometown of pearls. However, what did the preface said, Zhuji was not as good as Jingnan, the precious land?"

Seeing that the father-in-law Qian was interested in his words, County Magistrate Zhang even made a great effort to show it. "As we all know, this pearl was born from the shell. Zhuji is located in the inland area, with only river shells. My Jingnan is backed by the boundless sea, not only river shells, but also sea shells. In terms of quantity and quality, they are far superior to Zhuji."

"oh."

Master Qian said lightly.

Obviously, County Magistrate Zhang’s remarks did not convince Eunuch Qian.

County Magistrate Zhang's face turned red.

"Cough cough, can you tell if the Heshi Bi is?" Yao Zhuan coughed, took over the words of County Magistrate Zhang and said to Eunuch Qian.

"Heshi Bi is famous all over the world, how could the Miscellaneous families not know about it?" Old Master Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

"Eunuch Qian knows the Heshi Bi, can we know that the Heshi Bi is as famous as the Heshi Bi, and is a Sui Hou Pearl, which is the "treasure shared by the world" that must be fought for by emperors of all dynasties?" Yao Zhubu smiled slightly and continued.

"The Pearl of the Sui Hou?!" Eunuch Qian was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly, "It seems that this miscellaneous family has heard of it, but they know very little."

"The book "Han Feizi" says: 'The walls of Heshi are not decorated with five qualities; the pearls of the Suihou are not decorated with silver and yellow, and their quality is beautiful, and things are not enough to be decorated'. "The Lushi Chunqiu·Guansheng Pian" also says: 'What is it that someone uses the pearls of the Suihou to sparrows thousands of feet high?" This famous book has a detailed description of the pearls of the Suihou." Yao Zhubu said slowly.

"Can you say that the Pearl of the Sui Hou is related to the noble land?" After hearing the words of the Master Yao, Eunuch Qian asked with interest.

"Grandpa Qian is wise, he will be able to guess." Yao Zhuzhu complimented, "The Sui Hou of the Western Zhou Dynasty went to the fiefdom and went to Zhashui. He found a giant snake dozens of feet long on the hillside. He was cut in half and dying. Sui Hou was compassionate and asked to treat him. A year later, the Sui Hou patrolled again and took a nap at a mountain station at noon. In his sleep, a yellow-haired child knelt down in front of him, saying that it was the giant snake he was rescued last year. In order to thank the Sui Hou for his life-saving grace, he came to offer pearls. The Sui Hou woke up suddenly and found that there was an extra head of the bed.

The huge pearl is white and round, dazzling. It looks like a crystal candle close to the distance, and looks like a bright moon on the sea. At first glance, it is a pearl. After the news of the Sui Hou getting the pearl, it immediately aroused the covetment of the princes of various countries. Like the Heshi Bi, it was fought over by the people of the world. Finally, the Sui Zhu fell into the hands of King Wu of Chu. Later, Qin destroyed Chu, and the Sui Zhu was occupied by Qin Shihuang and regarded as the national treasure of Qin. It is as famous as the Heshi Bi and is fought for by emperors of all dynasties. This slag water is located in Jingnan. My Jingnan County Chronicle has a clear record of this, and you will know it once you check it."
