海寧陳家

ual55

舆Bobby 做了幾十年同學,不知他是杭州人.一直以為他是上海佬.我們在培正時, 只知有二種人,不是廣東佬就是上海佬.今次拜讀Bobby 大作始知 Bobby 是海寕人仕.金庸同鄉也.

前時香港盛行私房菜, 即去私人家裡食晚飯, 由主人或女主人下廚,招待客人.一桌數人,每人三百至五百元左右,有時食到特式菜譜.話說有一家私房菜樓專長准揚菜, 稱董家菜. 去過三次, 第一次由朋友帶去.友人是有名氣及長袖善舞之人, 招呼好, 菜式佳. 上等享受.只見房中大鏡,有金庸提字,淮揚名菜. 菜牌上有天下第一飽, 菜肉飽也.可以與天津”狗不理”一較高低.這次有八小菜,八熱葷, 都是色香味之作.

等二次去, 沒有 “ 大粒佬“ 照住, 立刻 “招呼菜式”中下乘. 某日見到朋友, 數算一頓,朋友不以為然.又一日,朋友一定要再去,一上董家楼,壁上有朋友簽名. 招呼好, 菜式佳.原來在香港行走,最好自己是“ 大粒佬“,其次有“ 大粒佬“ 照住.否則飯都唔好食.

話說海寧陳家乃是世代書香, 乾隆時代, 海寕陳世倌,朝中一品大臣. 乾隆四幸海寕陳家.家勢一時無二, 人傳乾隆乃陳世倌之子, 红花會當家龍頭陳家洛之兄也. 金庸講一定對的, 你話是否?

今我社友 Bobby 來自海寧陳家,說不定是乾隆親人,這還事小.但 Bobby 是陳家洛之親人, 可能是現任當家龍頭, 這就非 同小可了. 到了BTB 之日,見到Bobby, 立刻擁抱行”西禮”, 說聲總舵主可好? 想念久了. 不知總舵主遊西湖時, 可有遇上花國名妓,玉如意之傳人?即時拉上“ 大粒佬“ 關係.

來日各社友在花旗行走,襟上戴上紅花, 遇上江湖朋友.立刻說是Bobby 總舵主之红藍故人. 當堂有人照住. 上茶樓, 招呼好,泡上绝佳 鐵觀音茶. 你話做光社社員幾多好處?

正是因果裡頭有一句 …
“ 青山隱隱,澗水悠悠,红花綠葉是一家.

欲知總舵主在西湖艶行,且看下回分解.

55,

I read your article with interest. It shows your reading of Jian Yung's "Book Sword" must be a lot more than couple times. I don't mind being related to the Chen's of Hai-Ning and Emperor Chien-Lung; however, Hai-Ning is close to the sea-side of Yellow Sea, and not very close to Hongzhong. If you can justify the gap in geography in your well written article, I don't mind your sending it to Tony and the web-site. May be you can add this e-mail to it. As an aside, do you know Jian Yung's real family name is Chia-Liang (Search-Good). One of my father's co-worker at the bank (Central
Bank of China) has the same family name, he must be an elder brother of the late- comer, Jian Yung, publisher of Ming Pao and author of tons of martial-art/Ching history based fictions. Next time you go eat "See-Fong -Choy", mention Jian
Yung's family name might help. Ha-Ha. I can hardly wait to read the next chapter of your description of my "West Lake Escapade".
