(Thank you for Nanyanghuo's reward, thank you!)

The golden crow falls westward, and the red clouds are everywhere in the sky!

A total of eleven dragon boat races in Dragon Boat Festival have ended. The top three finals are the Songzhou Shipyard Dragon Boat Team of the Li Rang family, the richest man in Bian Song Dynasty, as well as the second-place Songzhou governor Zhang Rui family, and the third-place Zhenguo Army's Dragon Boat Team.

The competition has ended, but the two sides of the Bianqu Canal are still crowded. Many girls who rarely come out are watering each other by the river in groups, watering and playing with each other. The water is warm and the silver bell-like laughter is spreading to Xu Yuan and Xu Yuan.

Since the Zhenguo Army's troops were stationed in Songzhou, and the Zhenguo Army had several troops stationed outside Songzhou, the people around Songzhou were not in a hurry to return to the city. It is rare for the Dragon Boat Festival, especially for those unmarried women, in addition to spring, autumn outings, and the Lantern Festival, ordinary unmarried women, especially those who are rich, have these opportunities to relax.

The moon was already rising and people were a little tired, so Zhang Rui announced the result of the Dragon Boat Festival competition, and asked Li Jing and Li Rang to go on stage together, and awarded rewards to the three top three teams. The other top ten also had a good reward. Zhang Rui also generously announced the rewards for the remaining teams.

From the river bank outside Songcheng to the city of Songcheng, the long night market has been set up, and the lively lanterns have begun to light up. Many people watching gradually dispersed, discussing today's martial arts competitions and the grand scenes of dragon boat racing, and rushing to the night market to watch the lanterns.

The officials of Songzhou and the descendants of Zhenguo Army were not in a hurry to go back. Today, the banquet was held on the river bank, and they rewarded the boats and soldiers of Zhenguo Army. In addition, the refugees who came from nearby also arranged for porridge and vegetables to be given to them.

The officials of Songzhou and the rich and powerful accompanied Li Jing and other generals of the State Army to the river for a night banquet. Even their families were surrounded by gauze tents and attended the night banquet together.

The Songzhou officialdom was very flattering to Li Jing and other military commanders. Today's night banquet also set the highest standards, and even hurriedly invited the best chefs from Luoyang and other places in the past few days.

The Bianqu River in May is very cool, and the breeze blows, making people feel extremely comfortable.

Countless large lanterns have already been hanging high, as bright as daytime.

On the shore surrounded by gauze tents, Li Jing, Zhang Rui, Li Rang and other the most prestigious Bo tribe in Songzhou sat at a table. Although Li Jing was a guest, he was placed in the chief. He sat down and watched a wonderful Hu Xuan dance. These dancers were all Hu Ji from the Western Regions, each of them was extremely beautiful. What is particularly rare is that they were wearing veils as thin as cicadas' wings, and their entire beautiful waists were exposed. The flat and graceful waists were twisted like water snakes with the sound of music, which was indeed a feast for the eyes.

Before the song was finished, the chefs invited had already delivered the first famous dish.

It was a roasted whole lamb, full of golden yellow and exuded an attractive fragrance.

"Li Zhongshu, please try this delicious dish. Hunyang died suddenly!" The chef introduced with a smile, with a big face, a thick neck.

Li Jing initially thought it was just a whole dish of roasted lamb, but after the chef from Luoyang introduced it, Li Jing realized that he was a bit of a rustic. According to reports, this dish was actually a goose. First, I bought a big goose, used fire to remove the fire, and then removed the internal organs. Then I filled it with meat and glutinous rice and mixed it with five flavors. After all this, I did not cook it directly, but killed a sheep and also removed the hair. I burned it with fire, then removed the stomach and intestines, then put the goose into the sheep's belly, sewed the sheep's skin, and barbecued it, "put the goose in the sheep, sewed it together and roasted it." As soon as the lamb was cooked, the sheep was removed immediately, and the goose inside was taken out, and I held it in my hands to eat it, but the lamb did not eat it. Perhaps the taste had penetrated into the goose meat. The name of this dish now sounded very fashionable: "Huang Yang Di Shu".

Seeing the chef skillfully take out the goose from the sheep's belly while talking, and wrapping a few lotus leaves to Li Jing and handing it to Li Jing. Li Jing was really stunned. He actually had such a luxurious way to eat it, but after taking a bite, the taste was really wonderful.

"This Hun Yang is a unique person. There are no more than ten people in the world who can make this dish authentic and delicious. This dish is worth 100,000 yuan in Luoyang, and you have to book it in advance." Li Qilang probably has eaten a lot and is very familiar with this dish. It is said that this chef was invited by him.

Li Jing couldn't help but be amazed. A sheep is at most a few thousand yuan, and a goose is a little more expensive in the Tang Dynasty, but now, if you combine it like this, it will cost a hundred yuan. This thing is really hard to afford, and wealthy people don't care about the price.

Then other famous chefs presented their signature dishes one after another, one of which was called wild boar croaker, which is said to be the food used by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to host An Lushan. The production process was to pick the hot meat of wild boars and cook them, dry them and slice them, mix them with japonica rice, mix them with cornus seeds and salt, seal them into the jar with mud, dry them for one month, and then mix them with garlic, ginger and vinegar.

There are also goose and duck roasting. Zhang Yizhi created a barbaric method of eating. He used a large iron cage to circle the goose and duck, put a basin of charcoal fire in the middle, and placed various seasonings with five flavor sauces in copper basins around. The goose and duck roasted with hand fire and had to run around the cage and drink the five flavor sauce thirsty. When the feathers are completely removed and the flesh turns red, you can eat it. Li Jing shook his head and did not put down the chopsticks in the end.

There is also a dish called Niu Tou Bao. Take a small calf head with thin skin and tender meat. First, boil it on the fire to remove the hair, then scald it with boiling water to remove the hair roots. Add wine, fermented black beans, green onions, ginger, cook the beef head, peel off the meat and cut it into palm-sized pieces, mix it with ghee, pepper, citrus, etc., stuff it into a bottle of jar, and seal the mouth of the jar with mud. Finally, bury the meat jar into the fire pit and slowly heat it with a weak fire to bake it out.

Li Jing has eaten a lot of beef, but this is the first time he has eaten beef heads. But after trying a few chopsticks, the taste is indeed unique and delicious.

Among all the famous dishes, Li Jing had eaten only one dried thorn. It was a famous dish left by the Sui Dynasty. On the sea boat, it was made thorns, peeled bones, and took the essence, cut them into thin strips, and dried them for three or four days to make them extremely dry. It was filled with fresh white porcelain bottles without water, sealed with mud. After fifty or sixty days, it was the same as fresh fish. When you want to eat, take out the dried thorns and wrap them in cloth, fill them with water in the jar, soak them for three moments, drain them with cloth. Place them on the plate, cut them finely on fragrant and soft leaves, and mix them well. It tastes delicious like a fish that is caught. At the beginning, Li Jing was lucky enough to meet a chef who could make this dish, and it was hard to forget it after eating it. This dish has always been his favorite.

Later, three soups were served, namely Li Gongshen created by the famous prime minister Li Deyu. They used precious jade, jewelry, realgar, cinnabar, and sea shells to fry juice, and each soup cost 30,000 yuan. And, the white soup made of shepherd's purse is said to have good life effects, so everyone likes to drink. There is also a duck foot soup. It is a sun leaf soup made of sun leaf called duck foot that the Tang people call.

These three soups seem to be very simple, but it is said that only the three chefs invited taste the best. Each bowl of soup is priced at more than 10,000 yuan, which really surprised Li Jing.

Even the rice at the banquet was not ordinary white rice, but green rice. The branches and leaves of azaleas were mashed into juice. The rice was soaked in it, steamed and dried, and the rice turned green. It was said to be a nourishing and nourishing food, so it was loved by the nobles.

In addition to this, Li Jing remembers a kind of pastry called gourd head. It is said that this is a pastry created by Sun Simmy, a famous doctor in the early Tang Dynasty. It fills the pork belly and pig intestines with starch, minced meat, and seasoning medicines such as pepper, fennel, cinnamon, etc., which are both delicious and have the effect of strengthening the body. The gourd heads on today are said to use wild boar belly and wild boar intestines. It is said that wild boar belly has the effect of health care in the stomach, so this kind of mixed cake looks ordinary, but is very precious. It is a small piece and worth thousands of cents.

During the banquet, officials from Songzhou and the top figures in Songzhou called their families, wives, and children to come to see Li Jing. Although under normal circumstances, the nobles and the gentry family are more etiquette, and the family members of the inner family do not see outside guests. However, Li Jing is not an ordinary guest. He is a hero in front of the emperor. He is a frontier minister wearing the seal of the three towns. He is already ranked among the three dukes at a young age, and the figure is Lingyan Pavilion.

Many people have some small ideas, hoping that Li Jing can accept his son and make a fortune with Li Jing. Some people even think that their daughters can attract Li Jing. Even if Li Jing has a wife, it doesn’t matter if she is the wife of the sixth and seventh room.

Li Jing was very polite to the Songzhou family members who came to visit. They smiled and praised them, and gave them swords and ink to the young men. The ladies gave silk perfume, etc., and the young ladies also gave some jade perfume and other items. They were very polite. They attracted everyone very happy and the atmosphere was warm.

Zhang Rui didn't expect that there would be this happening. Even if he didn't want to do so, he had to let his wife and daughter come out to see Li Jing together.

Wang brought Zhang Hui to the ceremony. Mrs. Wang was very etiquette and gentle. She was wearing a big-sleeved shirt, a horse-drawn bun, with a stroll on her head and light makeup on her face. She was a very beautiful woman, very similar to Zhang Hui. She was more like Zhang Hui's sister, a young woman in her twenties, exuding elegance and maturity at all times.

Zhang Hui stood behind Mrs. Wang. When Li Jing stood in front of her and smiled at her, she felt her throat tight. They had never met again since they met again in the garden last time. She felt that she had escaped that day, which might have left him with many misunderstandings. She wanted to say that she didn't mean to blame him.

When she saw Li Jing tonight, she felt that she could not describe her feelings. Because Li Jing was so moved today that she was so moved that she was wearing a colorful silk armor. The thin silk armor showed Li Jing's slender and healthy body. Two golden qilins on both shoulders swallowed their shoulders, a golden qilin jade belt around her waist, and a purple-gold hair crown on her head. His hair was black and shiny. Zhang Hui looked at her and couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her cheeks flew.

Li Jing gave Zhang Hui a bronze mirror inlaid with gems, a jade pendant, and a box of sixteen bottles of exquisitely packaged perfume.

Zhang Hui stepped forward to take the gift. Li Jing took no one to pay attention and gently stroked the slender jade hands, which was extremely smooth. Zhang Hui's face turned redder. She raised her head and angrily glanced at him, then lowered her head and quickly handed the small thing to Li Jing's hand.

After Zhang Hui and his daughter thanked the gift and left, Li Jing found an opportunity to secretly look at the hand, but it turned out to be a small note. When he opened it, he saw it and said: "The moon is on the willows, and the person makes an appointment after dusk!"

Looking at the line of beautiful small characters on it, Li Jing couldn't help but feel happy. This little girl was really interesting. Last time she said she bullied her, but now she was so brave that she took the initiative to stuff a small note to him and asked him to have a private meeting.

After reading the small notes several times, Li Jing finally confirmed that Zhang Hui should have really asked him for an appointment. It is estimated that the moon is on the top of the willows. As for the location, it should be the old place of Zhang Mansion's back garden.

When there was a beauty meeting, Li Jing naturally felt very moved and wanted to go. At the beginning, Li Jing didn't have many other ideas. But now, he really liked the little girl Zhang Hui. The invitation of such a brave little girl could not let her down today.
