- ?? Xishan Guanyin Temple, also known as Huashan Temple, is one of the earliest Guanyin temples in the country, and its incense has always been efficacious.
Although it has been robbed and destroyed now, its vigor remains and the buildings are still intact.
After Zhao Hao took charge of Xishan, he inspected the entire island and found that the Guanyin Temple and several other Taoist temples were the best preserved on the island.
It can be seen that if you want to do things well, you can't do it without faith.
He ordered Hua Boxhen to clean and repair the Guanyin Temple and use it as a hall for Xishan Company to entertain guests.
Unexpectedly, Hua Boxhen had just packed it up and it would be put to great use.
Early the next morning, Suzhou magistrate Cai Guoxi, Wuxian magistrate Yang Chenglin, Changzhou magistrate Zhang Defu, and Qianfu county Zuo Er were invited to have morning tea on the lake viewing platform behind the temple.
As for the culprit, Eunuch Li, he accidentally sprained his foot when he climbed over the wall to escape from the Weaving Yamen. I could only send breakfast to his room.
When the officials from Fucheng followed Hua Boxhen to the platform made of green stones, they saw a young man in white clothes, holding on to the railing and looking at the bright lakes and mountains.
Seeing Zhao Hao¡¯s back, all the officials couldn¡¯t help but blush. At first, they tried every means to prevent them from entering Suzhou. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I would have to rely on others for protection. It was really embarrassing.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Mr. Zhao turned around, smiled at Cai Guoxi and others and said, "Welcome, sir, to Xishan Island for inspection and guidance."
Magistrate Cai and the others couldn¡¯t help but smile in embarrassment. In front of this situation, this situation, this person, it is difficult for them to put on the airs of Shangguan.
After all, even the clothes they wear are not their own.
Fortunately, the magistrate, the fish-belly white Husha Taoist robe is only a little loose.
When Zhao Hao saw the persimmon pattern embroidered with gold thread on the robe, he knew that the robe belonged to Hua Boxhen.
In fact, the clothes of these people all belong to Hua Boxhen. On Xishan Island, only the uncle of the Hua family can produce so many clothes with excellent workmanship and fabrics.
But the problem is, Hua Boxhen is tall and fat, and her clothes are all oversized.
¡° Then Chen Tongzhi and the two county masters were either thin or short, and the loose robes covering them looked like they were stolen. No matter how good the quality is, you can't wear it like a human being.
Seeing Mr. Zhao take off his sunglasses, he looked at them with a smile. Cai Guoxi and others couldn't help but feel their ears burning, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Yes, Mr. Zhao intends to attack them.
Who asked these guys to come to Xishan Island to cause trouble for themselves without even saying hello?
¡°See how they will act like Shangguan in front of me in the future?
??~~
"But now that they have been taken in, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to be a bad guy anymore.
After briefly appreciating the embarrassment of Magistrate Cai and others, he warmly invited all the adults to take a seat.
Cai Guoxi and others all breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure brought by Mr. Zhao was almost catching up with Lin Zhongcheng.
After everyone sat down, the guards served tea and various exquisite breakfasts.
Hua Boxhen put a lot of effort into this breakfast.
He specially recruited his family¡¯s chef from Longting and brought a full set of ingredients and cooking utensils. I have been busy since the fourth watch, and finally served a delicious breakfast to the young master and all the distinguished guests.
The guard opened the food box and brought out a variety of steaming hot breakfasts. The thin ones included glutinous rice and sugar porridge, fish fillet porridge, eel noodles, shrimp wontons, fresh meat dumplings The dry ones included Wuxi Xiaolong steamed buns, bean paste rolls, Black rice cakes, fried dumplings, and pot stickers.
?????????????????????????????????????:
They haven¡¯t had a serious meal since they arrived on the island the day before yesterday
Because the food at Jiangnan Company is really hard to describe.
??~~
Jiangnan Company is still in its entrepreneurial stage, and it is all about hard work. In addition to the miners and cement workers on the island, they are all soldiers, so the food only needs to be large and sufficient, and the color, smell and taste are not important.
So Mr. Zhao has to bring Qiaoqiao with him every time he goes to the island, because he really can¡¯t stand the dark cuisine on the island.
Hua Bo Zhenneng ate with gusto, which won him the unanimous respect of Jin Ke and others. I think it is very rare for him to be able to share the joys and sorrows with everyone despite his family background.
Zhao Hao could not help but guess that maybe he was an Englishman in his previous life.
It was later learned that Hua Boxhen drank too much when she was young, which caused a taste disorder. Therefore, the mouth is many times more insensitive than ordinary people, and can only barely distinguish the degree of sour, salty, and bitter When a spoonful of sugar is put into my mouth, I can't taste it!
What kind of mouth is this???Gourmet food? It only has the function of eating.
It¡¯s really very British.
??~~
"The tastes of all of you adults have long been influenced by Suzhou cuisine and private kitchens. Where can I get a big pot meal on the island?
Zhang Tongpan visited Hua Boxhen several times in private and said that the master was so hungry that he talked in his sleep and started to name the dishes.
This is how we have this high-quality breakfast.
Mr. Zhao held the hot milk in the cup and watched the adults happily eating as the hungry pigs competed for the trough, and he couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile.
After all, Cai Guoxi is the chief of a government, so he still needs to be dignified. He only ate steamed dumplings, a bowl of fish porridge, a plate of fried dumplings, and two black rice cakes.
While scooping up fresh meat glutinous rice balls elegantly, he thanked Zhao Hao and said:
"This uninvited visit is really abrupt. I am deeply grateful for your unfailing hospitality and warm hospitality."
"My father's words are serious. I often tell the people below that our Jiangnan Company can stand firm in Xishan and make some achievements because of my father's care and the support of my parents. However, our company has been unable to repay this, and I have always deeply regretted it."
Who doesn¡¯t know how to say nice things? Mr. Zhao added sugar to the milk and said with a smile: "This time my father-in-law and my parents visited the west, the first stop was our Xishan Island. We are all very honored!"
"No, I rushed back from Chongming as soon as I received the news." He gently raised the white porcelain cup and said with a smile: "This time I must give you the opportunity to entertain all of you."
Hearing this, Magistrate Cai felt reassured and secretly thought that Mr. Zhao doesn't seem to be as difficult to deal with as the rumors say?
"Hmm"
"Hmph" The adults were relieved and wanted to say a few words of thanks, but their mouths were full of food and they could only make sounds like pigs.
Mr. Zhao still doesn¡¯t know that he has been rumored to be the most terrifying ghost in the Jiangnan officialdom.
After all, Wei Guogong and Mr. Xu Ge are at the top of the official food chain in Jiangnan. Although Mr. Zhao is not a member of the officialdom, he has the presence of Mr. Wei Guogong with his left foot and Mr. Xu Ge with his right foot.
"Any official who knows a little bit about his deeds will be honest with him?"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even Erxu, who pours Yexiang on this Xishan Island, is someone they cannot afford to offend
What¡¯s more, Mr. Zhao also has the cement that everyone covets.
¡° If Mr. Zhao hadn¡¯t been so scary, they would have tried their best to get the Jiangnan Cement Factory.
¡°However, now is obviously not the time to talk about cement. After all, you have to be an official for that thing to be useful. It¡¯s hard to say whether you can continue to be an official now. Water from afar can¡¯t quench the thirst of the near.
Therefore, Magistrate Cai pondered for a moment and suppressed his desire for cement. Let¡¯s talk about the practical things first.
ps. I¡¯m very sorry everyone, there are so many chores at home today, I¡¯m exhausted from the busy work, my eyes hurt, and I really can¡¯t write anymore. I can only post two updates first, and I¡¯ll write the remaining one tomorrow morning. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
