208 The Grace of a Meal (1)
Pan Xiaole and the three of them found a relatively large town, Weicheng.
It is said that this is a seafood trading town in the East China Sea, and the number of merchants entering and leaving the gate every day is several thousand, which is quite spectacular.
With gold coins, it's easy to say anything. Pan Xiaole chartered the third floor of a rather luxurious-looking inn, with a total of ten rooms. And he sent stewards to separate the stairs on the third floor, and no one was allowed to go upstairs.
The steward looked at this faction and guessed that the family members of a large family were coming, so he sent a few runners with good eyesight in the store to clean up.
He also instructed that the fire in the back kitchen should not be extinguished, and that there was any requirement to open the fire at any time to cook and boil water.
When all this is cleaned up, the day will pass. Pan Xiaole sent Xinlong to send a letter to Beiyue, telling her the specific address and the name of the inn.
After a while, Beiyue replied with a letter, saying that they had arrived at the city gate.
When it was dark, the city gate was about to close, Pan Xiaole stood in front of the window and looked at the street downstairs that was still very lively, looking left and right.
"If you just break your neck, she won't come sooner. Huang Shao said slowly shaking his fan behind Pan Xiaole.
Pan Xiaole didn't look back, "It's better to answer early." Just now the message came to the city gate, and I don't know if I have entered the city. Don't stand here, go and ask the kitchen to boil some water, and you'll have to take a shower when you come back. Also, the food is ready, and I must not have eaten for a day. ”
Huang Shao wanted to comfort her, but he was ordered to do such a job in a blink of an eye. He turned his head to look at Shen Youqing, who was polishing his sword, "Did you hear that?"
Shen Youqing raised his head, "She ordered you, not me." ”
"Tsk. Huang Shao picked up the folding fan and reached out to hold Pan Xiaole in his arms, "Then you won't go, just be here." ”
This really knows Shen Youqing's shortcomings, and he can't look down on them like this, and when he sees it, his teeth are sour, and he can't run away immediately.
Shen Youqing stood up and put away the heavy sword in his hand, "I'll go, I'm not going to go." ”
Pan Xiaole pushed Huang Shao, "It's embarrassing that you don't do this in front of others." ”
"What's so embarrassing, this matter is over, I'll go to your house to propose, okay?" Huang Shao leaned into Pan Xiaole's ear and said with a smile.
His breath came to Pan Xiaole's ear, and his whole ear turned red.
"Why is it said that I have nothing to do with you. Pan Xiaole covered his ears.
"Not much?" Huang Shao pulled away her hand covering her ears so that she could hear clearly, "That's nothing?"
The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, this splash is simply shameless.
Pan Xiaole covered his ears with both hands, "Don't talk about it, there are still serious things." ”
"I'm talking to you about business. Huang Shao pulled down her little hand again, and his lips touched her ear.
"What serious?" a voice came from outside the door.
Pan Xiaole finally shook off Huang Shao and ran to open the door, "Er, are you back?"
Outside the door stood Beiyue and Mingtai, and behind them a woman over fifty years old.
The women's clothes are low-key, but they can be seen to be very gorgeous.
Pan Xiaole guessed that this was the Queen Mother of the Shark, the former fisherman's daughter. Of course, none of them will mention such an identity.
"Come on in. Pan Xiaole pulled Beiyue to the house, glanced at the Queen Mother of the Shark again, and gave a daughter salute, "I think it's the Queen Mother, the little girl is polite." ”
But I was not annoyed when I saw that the Queen Mother was brought by Beiyue, but looked at the whole room with a fresh look, and looked at it here and there.
Seeing Pan Xiaole saluting, the Queen Mother gave a hand, "Get up quickly, don't be polite." Since I was kidnapped here by your good sister, I am not a noble queen mother. You don't have to salute me, just call me Aunt Jane, I was replaced by Jane when I was young. ”
"Aunt Jane?" Pan Xiaole repeated.
Aunt Jane smiled, "Not really. Your sister is the daughter of my cousin's nephew, so naturally you call me aunt. ”
When she heard what the merman leader said, she had been laughing for a long time on the way here.
Beiyue snorted, "Yes, Aunt Jane, please take a seat." He looked at Pan Xiaole again, "Go prepare some meals, and prepare hot water." ”
"I've prepared it for you a long time ago, Shen Youqing went, and I'll send it later. ”
Pan Xiaole pulled Beiyue to sit on the pestle, and saw that Aunt Zhen was also sitting, and Mingtai was sitting on the chair by the window, and he sat down next to Beiyue.
"Did the trip go well?
"No, with Aunt Zhen's help, we came back smoothly. Beiyue said and looked at Aunt Zhen and smiled.
"This ......" Pan Xiaole was a little puzzled, he was tied up, and he helped Beiyue escape?
Aunt Zhen said, "It's true, I haven't been to the land for more than 30 years, and I want to see what the land looks like now." Since Miss Beiyue also wants to bring me here, I naturally want to help her. ”
Even if Pan Xiaole was stupid, he knew that they must have negotiated a certain deal, so they were fine.
However, no matter what the transaction is, the performance of this mermaid queen mother is unpredictable. She didn't even help the merman king, but an outsider.
Beiyue gave her a "reassuring" look, and Pan Xiaole stopped looking at the Queen Mother Merman.
And Huang Shao slowly shook the fan beside Mingtai, thoughtful.
After a while, the store sent a table of meals, with meat and vegetarian matching, color, flavor, and flavor. Two more pots of good tea were delivered. "The hot water has been prepared, it is warmed on the stove, and the guest officer called the small one after eating, and the small one was sent to send it." ”
Pan Xiaole bowed, "Got it." ”
A large table of meals was full, and I saw that my index fingers moved.
The Queen Mother of the Shark looked left and right, and took a sip of tea, "The tea is fragrant, and the dishes are even more fragrant." It's been a long time since I've eaten a meal like this. ”
Beiyue picked up the bamboo chopsticks, "Aunt Zhen first, please first, I see that these are just ordinary dishes, tomorrow I will ask them to prepare some delicacies for you, and keep them so that you can have a good time." ”
Aunt Jane smiled and said, "Okay, good!" and couldn't wait to start the chopsticks.
After tasting a few bites of each dish, Aunt Zhen obviously felt that the plate of spicy local chicken and a plate of Sixi meatballs were more palatable, and she ate several chopsticks one after another, and the bowl of rice in front of her was quickly finished.
Huang Shao didn't eat, he looked at the appearance of the queen mother, and then looked at Mingtai, who also didn't eat and just sat there to watch the excitement, and smiled.
"Aunt Jane. Huang Shao said, "With all due respect, what do you eat all day in the Underwater Palace?"
Aunt Zhen wiped her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief, "It's all the food of the mermaids, small fish and shrimp, kelp seaweed, shell snails." It's just that I make it every day, and I've eaten enough. How can there be these vegetables, fruits, poultry and fish on land? ”
Beiyue bamboo chopsticks held a piece of local chicken, looking at the empty bowl in front of Aunt Zhen, and suddenly froze.
