Chapter 233 Young Master
"Wow, this is Hangzhou?" From Beijing to Hangzhou, one has to travel a distance by water. After getting off the boat, Yuan Ziyu looked at the bustling dock and couldn't help but open his eyes wide and look around.
Hangjing, she has never been here.
Hangzhou and Beijing are home to many lakes and bodies of water, and the most famous thing about them is their aquatic products, especially the knife fish.
"You'er, you have never been to Hangzhou. I will take you for a good tour when I get back!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile.
"good."
The two rented a carriage at the dock and rode in it to Hangzhou City.
Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei sat on one side of the carriage, talking and looking at the scenery outside the window, while Pingshan and a boy of sixteen or seventeen sat quietly opposite them.
This time, Yuan Ziyu came to Hangzhou to investigate the Su's workshop. Because he didn't know if there would be any unknown dangers, he left Qingying and Qingzhi in the capital. So, Huo Xifei sent the only female secret guard among the secret guards, Huo Twelve, to Yuan Ziyu's side to temporarily serve as Yuan Ziyu's maid. Now, in order to facilitate travel, Yuan Ziyu and Huo Twelve are both dressed as men.
"Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat something first!" It was almost noon, and Huo Xifei was worried that Yuan Ziyu was hungry, so he suggested this.
"Alright!"
"Coachman, where is the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou? Just take us there!" Seeing that Huo Xifei and Yuan Ziyu wanted to eat, Pingshan instructed the coachman.
"Okay, gentlemen, I guessed that you were looking for a restaurant to eat. Don't worry, in this city of Hangzhou, I can't say anything else, but I know all the delicious restaurants and those famous dishes!" The coachman had been making a living at the docks for many years and had developed a pair of sharp eyes. At a glance, he knew that the people in his carriage were either rich or noble. Seeing that they were looking for a restaurant, he hurriedly said.
"Oh, you know everything?" Pingshan said with a smile, "Then tell me, what are the famous restaurants in Hangzhou? What are their famous dishes?"
"Hey, since you're asking, let me tell you!" The driver cracked his whip and said with a grin, "Speaking of Hangzhou, there's a lot of delicious food there. You guests are from the north, right? You probably don't get to eat our authentic Hangzhou cuisine on a normal day. We have so many varieties here, like steamed saury, braised bamboo shoots, lotus leaf glutinous rice and shredded chicken rolls, eight-treasure duck, stone chicken, shrimp and eel noodles... Oh, there are so many!"
Pingshan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So many delicious foods?"
"That's right!" the driver said proudly, "These are just a part of it. Even if you stay in Hangzhou for a year or two and eat different food every day, I'm afraid you still won't be able to eat enough!"
"Hangzhou is indeed a great place!" Pingshan said with a smile, and then asked, "Then...are there any famous restaurants?"
"Yes!" the driver said with a smile, "The Exiled Immortal Tower, the Nine-Storied Tower, and the Delicacy Pavilion—these are all famous restaurants in Hangzhou, century-old establishments!"
"Then please take me to the best restaurant!" Huo Xifei wanted Yuan Ziyu to eat authentic Hangzhou and Beijing cuisine, so he said to the driver.
"Alright!" the driver said with a smile, "If we're talking about the best of the three, it still has to be the Jiuchonglou. I'll take you to the Jiuchonglou!"
"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"
"Hey, you're welcome!" The coachman cracked the whip again, and the horse went faster. A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Jiuchonglou.
"Dear guests, this is the Nine-Story Tower, but it is very popular. I don't know if there are any seats left. Please go and have a look first. If not, I will take you to other places!" Because Huo Xifei was generous, the driver took the initiative to suggest.
"Okay, Pingshan, go in and ask if there are any private rooms!" Huo Xifei nodded and instructed Pingshan.
"yes!"
Pingshan entered the Nine-Storied Building and returned shortly after: "Sir, there are no more private rooms in the Nine-Storied Building. There are only a few tables in the lobby on the second floor."
"Then..." Huo Xifei wanted to go to a few other restaurants to check it out, but Yuan Ziyu interrupted him: "Then let's eat in the lobby. I think it's quite novel!"
After saying that, Yuan Ziyu looked at Huo Xifei with a smile!
Seeing Yuan Ziyou say this, Huo Xifei naturally agreed and said with a smile, "Okay, let's eat in the lobby!"
After getting off the carriage, Huo Xifei asked Pingshan to give the coachman a piece of silver as a reward, and then they entered the Nine-Story Tower.
The rickshaw driver accepted the reward with great joy, his eyes narrowed with delight. After returning to the dock, he showed off his good luck to everyone he met.
"Hey, gentlemen, please go upstairs!" The waiter at the Jiuchonglou was quite clever. Upon seeing Pingshan and a few others reenter the restaurant, he hurriedly took the four of them to the second floor. He led them to two tables by the window and asked, "Sirs, would you like to sit separately or together?"
"Divide into two tables!" Huo Xifei ordered!
"Okay, please come this way!" The waiter arranged the table and announced the names of the dishes.
Since he was in Hangzhou, he naturally wanted to try the famous dishes. Huo Xifei asked the waiter to pick out the famous dishes and serve them first, and also gave the waiter a piece of silver as a tip!
The waiter received the reward and went to the kitchen with a smile on his face.
It was noon at this time, and the nine-story building was very lively. From time to time, people were laughing loudly, drinking, and playing rock-paper-scissors. Yuan Ziyu was extremely surprised. She had never seen such a scene before.
"Do you like this excitement?" Huo Xifei asked in a low voice.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "It has a touch of fireworks!"
"I'll take you out to eat more often in the future!" Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyu with a smile.
Yuan Ziyu's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
At a table not far away, a group of people were drinking. As they drank, someone took the lead and started talking about the most famous young man in Hangzhou City.
"If you ask me, it's the Third Young Master of the Liu family who deserves this title. The Third Young Master Liu is elegant and talented, and he is truly a rare figure!"
"Humph, how can Mr. Liu San compare to the young master of the He family? If you ask me, the young master of the He family is the truly amazing talent, rare in the world!"
"Hey, Young Master Liu is much more powerful than the young master of the Su family!"
"Humph, I think the young master of the He family is the best!"
…
As they were arguing, they heard the waiter's voice chasing up from downstairs: "Hey, hey, hey, sir, there's no room upstairs. You should go somewhere else today!"
Before he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a dark shorts came up. On his face, there was a scar running from his left forehead to his right jaw, with some smaller scars around it, which made his face look shattered. He staggered up to the second floor and ran straight into the group of people who were discussing fiercely: "What about Mr. Liu San and Mr. He Xiao? My young master is the best!"
"Who is your son?"
