"Cen Yongchang, the prefect of An Prefecture, met with Guo Yushi."

Seeing Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, come out, the prefect Cen Yongchang quickly stepped forward and bowed to him.

The other officials closely followed the actions of the prefect Cen Yongchang and came together to salute.

Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, smiled slightly and said, "You are exempt from the courtesy."

"Thank you, Censor Guo." After saying this, thinking about what happened, the prefect Cen Yongchang apologized: "Censor Guo, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry. Look... I'm...

It's all their fault, it almost led to a big mistake. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Hearing what Magistrate Cen said, and looking at the sincerely apologetic face, and thinking that he had not suffered much grievances in prison, Zuodu Yushi Guo Kang said: "No problem, no problem."

"Well, it's getting late. Let me take you to the best restaurant in Yuanfu City for a meal. I'll treat it as my apology to you." Cen Yongchang said.

Listening to this, I thought that I and the housekeeper Yin Xing had been hungry all day, so they could just get a free meal.

In this way, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, and Yin Xing, the steward, followed the prefect Cen Yongchang and headed for the best restaurant in Anfu City.

On the way, the prefect Cen Yongchang and several officials accompanying him were too nervous to say a word, while Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, and Yin Xing, the steward, were too hungry to speak.

As I walked, I arrived. When I looked up, I saw the four characters "Zui Weng Restaurant" written on the plaque of this restaurant.

From these four characters, even if there is no word "drunkard", as long as there is the word "restaurant", any literate person can know that this is a restaurant.

When I first arrived at this restaurant, I could already smell the fragrant and mellow smell of wine before I even stepped into the restaurant.

Such a wine smell really made Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, and Yin Xing, the steward, eager to taste the aroma of this wine and the delicious food.

"Guo Yushi, please." Magistrate Cen welcomed with a fake smile.

At this time, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, no longer wanted to say a word. He was so hungry that he couldn't survive.

Seeing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, nodded and walked towards the restaurant.

Several officials followed behind.

As soon as you enter this restaurant, a beautiful view emerges.

As you can see, this restaurant is very unique. As soon as you enter, you will see rows of tools for making wine. You can also see women and men. No matter how busy the men are, there are some interested men standing next to them.

.

Who knows what they are looking at, the craftsmanship of making wine, or the beauty who makes wine?

The walls on the first floor of the restaurant are all made of wood. These are not ordinary wood.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, it looks like old wood, and when you put your nose against the wood, you can smell the faint fragrance of wood.

There are also paintings outlined on the walls. These paintings are not colored paintings. How can I say this?

Just use a knife to carve on the wall on this precious wood to imitate a colored painting. This way of doing it tests the skill of the carpenter.

But these paintings are not random scribblings. Some of them are imitated, such as Yan Liben's "Stepping Chariot Picture", Li Sixun's "Jiang Fan Pavilion Picture", Li Zhaodao's "Ming Emperor's Visit to Shu Picture" and so on.

It was already amazing that people from previous dynasties could present this beautiful scenery on this scroll. Now, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, saw these paintings engraved on the walls and felt even more amazing, and the engraved paintings were so good.

They are exactly the same and can't find any faults.

Seeing Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looking at the painting on the wall, the prefect Cen Yongchang on the side said with a smile on his face: "Guo censor, look, how good this painting is."

After listening to what Magistrate Cen said, Guo Kang nodded. Seeing these paintings, he suddenly felt less hungry.

"I didn't expect that there is such a restaurant here. When I was in the capital, I saw so many restaurants, but I never saw a restaurant like this. Now, it is really an eye-opener for me." Guo Kang praised.

.

Hearing what Guo Yushi said, the prefect Cen Yongchang smiled all over his face. Of course, this was just a smile on the outside. The tension in his heart had not dropped a bit.

"Guo Yushi, this is on the second floor, shall we go up?" Magistrate Cen asked.

"Okay." Guo Yushi responded.

No matter how beautiful these paintings are, they still cannot satisfy my hunger.

In this Zuiweng Restaurant, the cashier and the drinking area are on the second and third floors.

In this city, the buildings for businesses like this can only have two or three floors at most, and cannot be any higher.

We walked up the stairs and reached the second floor. This second floor seemed even more spectacular than the first floor.

The cashier is in a corner of the second floor, and the rest of the spacious area is filled with tables and chairs. Looking at it like this, it seems like every chair is filled with customers.

The walls are almost the same as those on the first floor, but different. It can be said that these paintings are not repeated, they are all famous paintings from previous dynasties.

Half of the wall is decorated with a long bamboo leaf pattern. Although no real bamboo can be seen, these pictures give people the feeling of drinking wine together in a bamboo forest.

Seeing that Censor Guo was also attracted by the scene in front of him, Magistrate Cen felt a little happy.

"Guo Yushi, shall we go to the third floor? This third floor is much better than here. It is the best place in this restaurant." Magistrate Cen asked.

Guo Yushi didn't even think about it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After thinking about it for a while, he agreed: "Okay."

Yin Xing, the steward who followed Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, also saw such a scene for the first time. He really wanted to stay here for a while, but it was a pity that he came with him not for vacation but to investigate the case.

of.

Going up to the third floor is indeed the best place, as the prefect Cen Yongchang said.

This place is the same as the first and second floors, but different.

The difference is: the third floor is not as lively as the second floor, and looks very quiet; and the paintings on the walls are the best of the best. If a few people who know how to appreciate paintings come, they will see it.

In this way, you can't even think about spending a lot of money to buy these walls; also, this place is also engraved with calligraphy and paintings, and various kinds of objects loved by literati and refined people are placed on the surrounding ground.

flower.

It doesn't seem too lively here, but in the long run, it is still lively, but the liveliness is hidden by the walls. For people who don't like liveliness, this place is perfect.

"Shopkeeper, please bring up all the good wine and dishes from your restaurant." Magistrate Cen Yongchang said enthusiastically.

Hearing this passionate tone, I raised my head and saw that it was the prefect here, Cen Yongchang.

"Prefect Cen, why are you here at the restaurant today?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face.

Magistrate Cen smiled, looked at Guo Yushi on the side, and introduced him: "This is Guo Yushi, a high-ranking official from the capital. All the good wine and food are available."

"Okay. Please go over to the officials. There is a seat over there. The younger one will hurry up first and hurry up for the officials." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Looking at the direction pointed, the prefect Cen Yongchang said: "Guo Yushi, please come this way." After saying this, he led Guo Yushi towards that direction.

Looking at the series of actions of the prefect Cen Yongchang, I thought that I had come to this restaurant often, and I was very familiar with this restaurant.

Thinking about the behavior of the shopkeeper just now, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, didn't notice anything.

After waiting for a while, the food and wine were finally served.

Seeing so many delicious wines and dishes, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, felt that he had come to the right place to handle this case.

The aroma of various wines and dishes came to my nose, making me almost drool.

The prefect, Cen Yongchang, poured wine into the wine glass.

"Guo Yushi, I'm really sorry for you today. It's all the fault of those government officials who were not smart enough to arrest you by mistake. For this glass of wine, I will be the official to apologize to you." After saying this, the prefect Cen Yongchang

He raised his glass of wine and took a swig.

Seeing Magistrate Cen like this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, who was already hungry and thirsty for a long time, raised his glass and took a sip before saying: "Prefect Cen, if we don't mention business tonight, just treat it as acquaintance.

One game, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Although he said this, Yushi Guo didn't really think so.
