Chapter 68: The Must-Stay Inn (1)
In the evening, the sun gradually sets, and the sunset reflects the red of people's faces. Yang Jin and Song Keyin rode fast horses, and their shadows galloped through the mountains, leaving behind a string of "deed" rapid horses' hooves.
They walked a little further, and saw an inn in front of them, Yang Jin pulled the rope and said, "Miss Keyin, there is no village in front of here, and there is no store in the back, so let's stay here tonight." ”
Song Keyin pulled the rope and stopped, and replied, "Okay." She continued: "Brother Yang called me 'Childe' after he went in, so as not to make people suspicious. ”
Yang Jin said: "Obey." ”
When the two came to the door of the "Must Stay" inn, they both jumped off their horses.
A shopkeeper dressed in earthy gray coarse cloth and wearing a hat immediately stepped forward to pull the horse for them, he bent down and said, "Two guest officers, please come in, please come in!"
Song Keyin walked into the inn with Yang Jin. The inn was small, with only five or six tattered wooden tables, and the four walls were made of wood pine bark, and from time to time a cold wind blew through the cracks. There was only one guest in the room, and through the dim light, he could see this man dressed in white and with a sturdy body, sitting on a wooden bench in the corner with them on his back.
As soon as Yang Jin and Song Keyin sat down, the shopkeeper brought a pot of tea.
He poured tea into the cup and said, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
Yang Jin said: "Little ......"
When Song Keyin heard him say this, he immediately put his hand to his mouth and let out a "cough!" twice, giving Yang Jin a look.
Yang Jin immediately understood and said, "Childe, what do you want to eat?"
Song Keyin cleared his throat, pretended to be a man's voice, and asked, "Xiao Er, what are the special dishes of the treasure shop? ”
The shopkeeper replied: "The treasure of the store is the Yuci enema, the two sons have a good mouth today, and this dish is only made every day." ”
Yang Jin said: "Then come a Yuci enema, and then a pound of beef, a pound of daughter red, and six steamed buns." ”
Song Keyin said: "Brother Yang, this task is important, don't miss a big event because of drinking." She shook her head at Yang Jin.
Yang Jin turned his gaze to the shopkeeper and said, "Then listen to this son, the wine will be free, and the others will come up quickly." ”
The shopkeeper said "Okay!", and put the tablecloth on his hand on his shoulder.
He was about to leave, but was stopped by the guest next to him: "Xiao Er, I asked for this 'Yuci enema' at double the price." ”
"Gan Yixun?" Song Keyin and Yang Jin secretly shouted at the same time.
Song Keyin raised his voice and said: "How can there be such a truth in the world, it is obvious that we ordered it first." ”
The second little shop looked very embarrassed, he stood still and didn't dare to say anything.
Gan Yixun stood up, walked in front of the two, put one foot on the wooden bench, pointed to Song Keyin's hat with his finger, blinked his right eye, and said, "Song Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a day, and you forgot about the martial arts competition with Zaixia yesterday?" He showed a smug look.
"I deliberately dressed as a man, but I didn't expect to be recognized by this guy at a glance. Song Keyin thought. She was afraid that people would know that she was a daughter, so she could only lower her voice and say, "You-"
Song Keyin was speechless for a while, and his face turned blue and purple.
Yang Jin stretched out his hand to Gan Yixun's wrist, only to hear a "whew", and Gan Yixun immediately withdrew the hand that was pointed at Song Keyin's forehead.
Seeing that the two or two of them were about to fight, the shopkeeper shrank aside in fright, and dissuaded in a trembling voice: "A few guest officers, please stop being angry, please stop being angry!"
At this moment, a man came out of the inner room, dressed in a robe, with half-white hair, tied in a neat bun, and a turquoise hairpin stuck in the middle. The man asked, "Ah Fu, what happened?"
The shopkeeper bent down slightly and replied, "Shopkeeper, these guest officers want to taste our 'Yuci enema'." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at everyone and arched his hand: "A few guest officers, they are polite in the lower hole." ”
Yang Jin first said: "Shopkeeper, why is there only one treasure of this store every day?"
Kong Changzhi replied: "The son doesn't know, he is a native of Yucicheng in Xiaben, and this store was built by his father to facilitate the accommodation of passing guests. My father was very fond of the enema that he often ate in Yucicheng when he was a child, so he had the treasure of this town, but the ingredients of this dish were only available in Yucicheng, which was thirty miles away, and the materials had to be freshly picked to make the original 'Yuci enema'. Therefore, every day, I sent the shopkeeper to Yuci City to pick up materials. ”
Yang Jin was quite puzzled and asked, "What does the shopkeeper's translation have to do with only selling one thing a day?"
The shopkeeper replied, "Except for the ingredients mentioned below, this dish is mainly made with buckwheat noodles. Because when my father was alive, buckwheat in Yuci City was not abundant and was extremely precious, so my father made a rule at that time that 'only one Yuci enema was sold every day'. ”
Song Keyin said lightly: "I see. ”
Kong Changzhi walked to Gan Yixun's side and said: "This son, please forgive me for offending, today's 'Yuci enema' is the first point of these two sons, and it should belong to them, and please give the old man a face, the old man ordered Xiao Er to rush back to Yuci City overnight to pick ingredients, and tomorrow morning, the 'Yuci enema' will be personally sent to the guest room, in order to thank the objectivity for today's understanding." ”
