Chapter 250 Longjiang Taibai

The endlessly flowing Longjiang River has been regarded as the dragon vein of the world since ancient times. It rushes out from the extreme western plateau, cascades thousands of miles, and pours into the East China Sea.

The Longjiang River is so majestic and majestic for thousands of miles, and the scenery along the river is infinite.

In Songzhou, a land near the Longjiang River, an unprecedented tall building stands on the riverside. Although the building only has seven floors, its base is a hundred feet high, made of white stone, as smooth as jade. On both sides are leading to the main building.

There is a staircase, and on the front, there is an inscription engraved in a strange handwriting, which is the famous "Jian Jinjiu" who is known as the first poem about wine.

Climb the stairs to the seven-story main building. The main building is made of wood. What is amazing is that all the wood is rare golden nanmu. Therefore, if nothing else, this seven-story wooden building alone is priceless.

There is a plaque inlaid on the top floor, with black characters on a white background and three elegant characters: Taibai Ju.

Yes, this is Taibaiju, which is known as the best restaurant in the world. For three hundred years, Taibaiju has been the best restaurant in the world, and no one has ever been able to match it.

The original name of Taibaiju was not that, it was called the First Floor. The name was changed to Taibaiju only three years ago.

Most people who know Taibaiju know this popular legend of name change.

The story begins with a fisherman.

That day, in a small boat along the river, a young man in common clothes and a bamboo basket in his shoes climbed up the building. He tasted eleven dishes and was very unhappy. He said that it was called the first floor in vain and the name was not true.

This incident alarmed the proprietor of the first floor. Unexpectedly, the young man was slightly drunk. He raised his glass to Longjiang and recited a poem that would be famous throughout the ages: The wine will be served.

The vast, heroic, elegant and free poetry immediately conquered the owner of the first floor.

Unable to suppress her emotions, she and the young man drank 108 cups of wine in three days, and the young man presented him with 108 recipes, all of which were so delicious that the host was shocked that they were the food of heaven and man.

The proprietor was willing to pay him ten thousand taels of gold, but the young man didn't take any of it and just asked that the name be changed to Taibaiju.

The owner of the building laughed and immediately ordered people to scrape off the three characters "First Floor" overnight and engrave the three characters "Taibai Ju" written by the young man himself on it. From then on, the first floor was officially renamed "Taibai Ju".

The 108 delicacies are divided into three banquets on the first floor. They are the ground banquet with thirty-six dishes, the heavenly banquet with eighty-one dishes, and the banquet that cannot be used easily unless there are special circumstances.

An extraordinary banquet with one hundred and eight dishes.

Yes, you heard it right, Fanpin, one hundred and eight. As for why Fanpin is the most grand and solemn, the proprietor of the first floor has never revealed it.

Since then, the first floor, which truly has unparalleled delicacies and stunning scenery, has become more famous all over the world. Every day, gourmets, literati, and heroes from all over the world come in droves, just to have a look at the "wine-making" style.

Savor the one hundred and eight delicacies.

The first floor in the world is well deserved.

On this day, in the misty rain above Longjiang River, a scholar in blue shirt with a bamboo hairpin in his hair floated over.

The scholar in green shirt seemed to be familiar with the road, he walked up the stairs, climbed to the third floor, found a seat by the window and sat down.

When a handsome young man came near.

"Mr. Gu, you haven't been here for a long time. Are you following the old rules?"

The scholar in green shirt said with a warm smile: "Old rules."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying this, the young man was about to leave, but he was stopped by the scholar in blue: "Can you please invite a governor to come?"

The young man smiled and said: "Thirty-six magistrates from the Immortal, the Imperial and the Secular are all here today. Who do you want to invite?"

The green-shirted scholar thought for a while: "Can I please invite one of each?"

The young man said: "There is nothing you can't do."

The scholar said: "Can we prepare some side dishes for the three of us? My dear, I'd better behave as usual."

The young man readily agreed.

Not long after, a dish and a jug of wine were presented to the scholar's table.

"You only taste one dish at a time, and today is the ninety-ninth dish...Dongpo Pork." The young man opened the cup and saw that the pork meat on the plate was maroon in color, alternately fat and thin, and a strong aroma came to his face.

"Oh?" The scholar took a deep breath: "It tastes good. I just don't know why this dish is called Dongpo Pork?"

The young man laughed and said: "Yulang Zeng said, this is made by an old gourmet in his hometown. This old man is a leading literary figure and is called Mr. Dongpo, so it is called Dongpo meat."

The scholar nodded: "I see, thank you very much."

While talking, three young people also came closer.

The young man introduced: "This is the man who serves the common people, cloud thirty-one, the man who serves the court, cloud eight, and the man who serves the immortals, cloud nine."

The three of them smiled and cupped their hands: "I've met the young master."

The scholar stood up and said, "Gu Qingshan, would you like to invite the three of you to have a drink and chat, please."

The three of them took their seats one after another.

Scholar Gu Qingshan filled the wine glass and raised it with a smile: "Today, I invite three people to come. I just want to get to know one person... Qin, King Xiaoyao."

Halfway up the mountain, a man in a black hat and a rapier in his arms stood side by side with a beautiful woman in white as snow, holding a long sword.

"The last place." The man in black stared at a pool of embers on the ground.

The woman in white looked around silently, frowning.

Not long after, a slender woman in green clothes hurriedly walked out of the forest with a mixed-haired dog.

"Holy girl," the woman in green shook her head: "I didn't find any trace in the forest."

There was a trace of panic in the beautiful eyes of the woman in white, and her slender fingers unconsciously tightened the hilt of the sword.

The woman in green said: "The secret spy found out that the last time the young master appeared was near this half-mountain mountain. Big Big Wolf followed the traces and finally found this place. But since then, all the clues have been cut off. The young master has never left any traces, and he has searched all over the place.

I didn’t see any secret sign of the agreement.”

The woman in white frowned, her worry undisguised: "He won't die..."

The woman in green clothes was silent for a moment and said: "Young Master is the most amazing person I have ever seen. I believe he will not die. There may be a special reason why he leaves no trace."

The woman in white murmured: "It's been too long, there's been no news for too long..."

The woman in green said: "Young Master once told me that no matter what happens, if you don't receive any news from him, you don't need to panic or explore. But this time is unusual. It took too long, and Young Master didn't go to some of the planned things."

Only then did I suspect that there might have been an accident, and it was all my fault for following his orders too much. Now... the outside world can't find any clues about the young master, it's all my fault! It's all my fault!" She looked sad and regretful. www.bǐqυgetν.

The man in black said: "There are formation marks and sword energy. There is confrontation here."

The woman in white looked sharply at every trace left on the rocks and trees. After a long time, she raised her head and looked into the distance. She knew the meaning of the sword.

The woman's eyes showed fierce murderous intent: If it is found out that it was you, Dugu... I will kill you!

——

This is a mountain, an extremely majestic and huge mountain, standing tall and solitary, half of the mountain is green, half of the mountain is covered with snow, and clouds only surround the mountainside. It has a myriad of atmospheres and is full of sacred atmosphere.

At the foot of the mountain, beside a lake as clear as jade, stood a man in linen with short hair standing quietly.

His eyes were calm and distant, looking into the distance, and murmured: "Only one person should join the world in a lifetime, but now I have to..."
