Speaking of restaurants in Jinling City, Louwailou is the most famous.
When he was still working as a head catcher in Qingyang County, Lin Ji heard about the name of this building outside the building from the merchants passing through Liangzhou.
It is said that it means that there are people outside the mountain, and there are people outside the mountain, so the name of this building outside the building came into being.
In the evening, it is the time when the city is bustling with excitement.
Thousands of lights made the emerging moonlight inconspicuous.
The setting sun in the distance reflected on the river, making the entire Jinling City turn red.
On the table by the window on the second floor outside the building, five fish dishes have been served.
One is steamed and the other is braised, as well as fish balls, fish noodles, and fish raw fish.
Lin Ji could not wait to taste it.
"The Five-Fish Feast is well-deserved. It is obviously a home-cooked method, but it is more delicious than the fish elsewhere. The steamed fish meat is loose and not loose, but even the fish bones are crispy. This is a bit unreasonable. It shows the craftsmanship. .”
I tried the braised pork again and found that the flavor was deep into the bones, and I couldn't taste the fishy smell at all.
The fish balls are chewy, the fish noodles are delicious, and even the fish slices are crystal clear. You don’t need to chew them when you take one bite.
Lin Ji got excited about eating and asked the waiter to get two more wine glasses.
"Sir, we have some excellent home-brewed wine."
"No need, your wine is not as good as Lin's wine!"
Lin Ji smiled and flipped his hands, and a wine gourd appeared on the table.
Seeing this scene, the waiter was startled. Knowing that it was a monk, he didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
"Ordinary drinks are too strong and will inevitably ruin the taste in your mouth. This monkey wine must be the perfect complement."
After finishing his words, Lin Ji opened the lid of the wine gourd, and a fruity fragrance suddenly spread out.
Many diners on the second floor subconsciously looked towards Lin Ji.
Lin Jize ignored this and filled a cup for Lu Zhaoer, while he took a sip from the gourd.
After finishing the drink, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Shaking the gourd and listening to the sound of water inside, he said helplessly: "It's a pity. This monkey wine is rare. It will be gone once the gourd is finished."
It has been four years since he had this wine, and he has been reluctant to drink more. He only wants to finish it today, and he has already saved more money.
Lu Zhaoer silently pushed the empty wine glass towards Lin Ji.
"Drink slowly, this monkey is full of energy." Lin Ji felt a rare pain in his body.
Lu Zhaoer rolled his eyes.
Even if a spiritually enlightened monk comes, he can still withstand the spiritual power in this wine, let alone her?
Lin Ji naturally understood that he couldn't get through it, so he gave it to Lu Zhaoer again.
But at this moment, a woman who was drinking alone at the table nearby suddenly stood up with a chair and came to Lin Ji's table to sit down.
She picked up Lin Ji's unused wine glass and placed it in front of her.
Lu Zhaoer on the side frowned when he saw this, and was about to say something, but found a bit of surprise on Lin Ji's face.
So she didn't have an attack, she just watched quietly.
Lin Ji looked at the woman beside him.
He looked to be in his early thirties, without makeup, and looked somewhat heroic.
She just looked at Lin Ji quietly, not caring at all about Lin Ji's eyes sizing her up, and even dared to look at Lin Ji.
After a moment, Lin Ji chuckled, shook his head, and filled the woman's glass with a wine gourd.
The woman nodded as a thank you, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp, then pushed the glass towards Lin Ji.
Lin Ji poured another glass.
She drank it all in one gulp again and signaled Lin Ji to pour the wine for the third time.
"I treat you two drinks for the sake of my colleagues. If you drink more, it will be gone." Lin Ji protected the wine gourd and closed the lid.
"Why are you so stingy?" The woman raised her eyebrows, muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, and then stood up.
"Settle the bill for me and see you at the government office in the evening."
As soon as the words fell, the woman left quickly.
After watching the other party's figure disappear, Lu Zhaoer frowned and looked at Lin Ji.
"Who is she?" Lu Zhaoer asked after seeing the woman walking away.
"You came to Yangzhou on business, don't you recognize her?" Lin Ji was also a little surprised. He thought Lu Zhaoer had recognized her and kept silent.
"Do I have to recognize her? You said she is a colleague, and she is also from the Tiansi Supervisor?"
"She is Cheng Yu, the official of Yangzhou Town." Lin Ji sighed, opened the lid of the gourd and took a sip, then simply handed the gourd to Lu Zhaoer.
"Why are you so generous all of a sudden?" Lu Zhaoer was too lazy to pour the wine. He also took a sip from the gourd and handed the gourd back. "She is the official of Yangzhou Town. Have you dealt with her?"
"No, but she carries the Zhenzi Order from the town official." Lin Ji said, "There is only one Zhenzi Order in one state, so who else could she be?"
Lu Zhaoer suddenly realized.
She couldn't discover this.
"But Cheng Yu seems to recognize you."
"Jian Tiansi has some knowledge, who wouldn't recognize me?" Lin Ji said with a smile.
"No, what I mean is that she seems to be very familiar with you." Lu Zhaoer said, "There is an indescribable feeling that she is not familiar with you at all. It's not like it's the first time we meet."
Lin Ji thought for a while and smiled: "Maybe it's because I helped her a little."
Late at night, Jinling City, Yangzhou Government Office.
In the drawing room.
Cheng Yu looked at Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer who were visiting, and stood up to greet them.
"Should I call you Brother Lin or Senior Lin?"
"You and I are both third-grade town officials, so we should be equal to our peers."
Cheng Yu nodded, asked Lin Ji and Lu Zhaoer to sit down, and asked the servants to serve tea.
When the tea came, she stood up with a tea cup and suddenly bowed to Lin Ji.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoer on the side subconsciously wanted to stand up and return the salute, but saw that Lin Ji was still sitting upright without any movement, so he could only sit calmly.
"Cheng Yu offered tea instead of wine and thanked Brother Lin."
Lin Ji nodded slightly as a gesture of acceptance.
When Cheng Yu saw that Lin Ji didn't dodge or return the favor, the smile on her face relaxed a little after she stood up.
When Cheng Yu sat down again, Lin Ji said, "Is it about Shen Hong?"
"Yes, without Brother Lin's help, Shen Hong might not be able to reach the capital alive."
"But he still died."
Cheng Yu sighed softly and was speechless.
Lin Jize asked again: "If it was just to say thank you, Mr. Cheng wouldn't specially invite me to the government office."
"There is one more thing. After Brother Lin hears this, I will not force him to take action."
"explain."
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Lin, does he know about the Nangong family?"
"I've heard that he seems to be quite powerful in Yangzhou?"
"The lord of Jinling City belongs to the Nangong family."
"Oh, there is also a city lord from a noble family in this capital city?" Lin Ji laughed dumbly.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said: "Yangzhou is not as good as the inland. I want to kill a retainer of the Nangong family, but I am unable to do so."
"Is it important that the retainer is in the Nangong family?" Lin Ji didn't ask the reason for killing people. If Cheng Yu dared to say this in front of him, that person would have his own way of killing himself.
"Kill him and the Nangong family will investigate thoroughly."
Hearing this, Lin Ji became a little interested.
"Elaborate."
