142 Dinner
The group quickly put away their luggage, and the horses were led to the backyard to drink water and feed, and everyone simply freshened up and came out to gather at the door to eat.
Lan Sui came out and said that the fourth aunt would not go, and her body was a little unhappy.
The dumb aunt was not reluctant, nodded, and instructed the store guy to send a table of food to the store in this store.
Liu Wan just washed his face, and a pair of eyeballs on his little thin face looked bigger and bigger, Gu Lulu turned left and right, holding the dumb aunt's hand and not letting go, licking his lips and giving advice to the dumb aunt early, to eat braised colorful phoenix, to eat dry pot eight-flavor pills, to eat cold salad three-color silk, to eat dry pot soft buns...... Talking about a lot, Uncle Zhong shook his head on the side, and reminded him with a smile that these are all expensive dishes that will be served when important guests come to the house, and it is not easy for everyone to eat them usually, but now when they go out, where do they dare to spend money to eat those expensive things?
Old Uncle Zhong saw that he was talking about the difficulty of going out to make a living, Liu Wan blinked his eyes and looked at himself fixedly, could it be that this bear child suddenly became sensible, and he also knew the bitterness of the adult, so he wiped his beard under his chin and prepared to start teaching this child a little more, who knew that Liu Wan suddenly glared at him fiercely, "You are a bad person, I don't talk to you! I don't allow you to talk to my daughter-in-law! The lady is my own lady, and you are not allowed to pester her." With me by your side, no matter how much you pester her, she won't give you a old man to be a lady!"
scolded at these words, Lao Zhong couldn't cry or laugh.
Everyone here secretly grinned, and they didn't expect this little boy to be quite touching when he occasionally had a good sense of humor.
The old bell can only end hastily, smiled embarrassedly, and saw the three antique italic brass characters of "Changxiangju" inlaid in a black and gold-like wooden plaque, the red lantern under the eaves of the tall corridor at the door was red and bright in the wind, and the little two who wore extraordinary shoulders and snow-white cloth towels on their heads greeted each other with a smile from afar.
"Uncles, if you want to eat something, you can swim in the water running in the sky and on the ground, as long as you want to eat, there is nothing that we Changxiangju can't do!
Old Uncle Zhong had just blocked the door with his body obliquely, gesturing vigorously to let everyone lead to another place, but Liu Wan was already attracted by this singing-like shout, "Hehe, daughter-in-law, shall we eat here?"
Uncle Zhong's eyes stared, he followed the old man to the north and south and never saw any scene, just a glance at the store decoration of this Changxiangju, you can see that this is a good restaurant, such a restaurant in the general food is shamelessly expensive, scared to death without blinking, sometimes just a dish costs a few taels of silver is calculated in a few taels, dozens of taels.
The dumb aunt looked up at the hotel with interest, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and nodded, well, yes, it does have the charm of the ancients, the string of wind chimes at the corner of the eaves has a strong ancient charm, and even the gray old tiles on the roof also reveal a touch of antiquity.
It must feel good to eat in such a restaurant, and I would never have dreamed that I would have a meal in such a place in my lifetime, because in that world, such scenes only exist in costume film and television dramas, and it is a pity that she is not an actress.
Since you're here, let's go in and eat and enjoy it.
The dumb aunt squeezed Liu Wan's hand, "Yes, we'll eat here today." ”
Since stepping into the door of this restaurant, Lao Zhong feels that he has more and more no way to take this little couple, the private room is Liu Wan's, obviously there are small ones, in fact, the hall below can also eat, Liu Wan pointed to the largest one to sit, the dumb aunt called to sit; sit down and order, it is not the turn of the old Uncle Zhong Zhang Luo, Liu Wan has already grasped the recipe in his hand, the thin two chicken paws flipped through the antique recipe list, "Wow daughter-in-law, this seems to be an egg custard, or do you want to have one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one-oh and this, stewed old hen, come to one This, I also know, boiled tofu in white water -- and this one that looks like a big bowl of noodles -- come one, give me one-"
Old Uncle Zhong couldn't help but be a little happy when he heard this, this is good, Liu Wan shouted more common dishes, and they are not very valuable, this young master was at a critical juncture because his conscience suddenly found out and he worked so hard to save money for his family? Who said he was stupid, wasn't he not stupid at all, how could a really fool know to order only the cheapest?
Liu Wan shouted ** dish in one breath, feeling that there was nothing new, so he pushed it in front of the dumb aunt, "Daughter-in-law, let's order it-what does my lady like to eat?"
The dumb aunt looked down at the dishes one by one.
Old Uncle Zhong secretly observed on the side, and found that she looked as usual, and then added a hot dish and closed the recipe, turned around and lightly instructed Xiao Er, "Order so much first, let's add it temporarily if we don't have enough to eat when we turn back?"
A fair-faced and shrewd junior was already waiting on the side, Liu Wan shouted, he had already dragged his long voice and shouted to the back, look at the end of the dish, his originally smiling face smiled more happily, eagerly served tea and poured water, and served very thoughtfully.
Seeing that Lao Zhong couldn't help but nod secretly, this big restaurant does have the advantages of a big restaurant, just to eat so many common dishes, and the service is so meticulous and thoughtful, this service attitude is really worth learning from the little two people in Lingzhou Mansion who have their nostrils facing the sky.
Lao Zhong watched the dumb aunt and Liu Wan sit down, he didn't sit, Hu Ma and the coachman and others naturally didn't dare to sit, even if they went out, even if this little grandmother was a character that everyone didn't care about much all along, but then again, after all, people are serious masters, and if the master doesn't speak, how can any slave dare to casually not know the depths.
Unexpectedly, Lancao sat opposite the dumb aunt with Qian'er Shen'er.
Mama Hu was so angry that she only rolled her eyes, scolding in her heart that these little girls had no rules and were taken by the little child's daughter-in-law, and the first thing she did when she returned to the house was to ask the eldest lady to speak and discipline these little hooves well.
The dumb aunt looked up and saw that everyone was standing straight, stunned for a moment, raised a cup of tea in front of her, and smiled softly: "Do you have to ask me to invite you one by one before you are willing to sit down?" When you go out, we are friends and relatives, and we have taken care of each other all the way to this place of Lingyi, and it will be harder in the future, so can I persist in the last step to the Tower of Forgetfulness, I still need your help and support, here I will pay tribute to you with tea instead of wine-"
The tea cup was held high, with a sincere attitude and a sincere tone, Uncle Zhong couldn't help but take the lead in holding the tea cup in front of him, and everyone followed, and the thin and crisp and transparent bleeding glazed tea cup gently touched together.
When the green tea slid down the pipe, everyone was no longer restrained, and they sat down one by one, and the masters and servants made a table.
The dishes served more slowly than expected, but they were served one by one.
"Wild duck egg spirit sesame skin tofu soup - our signature soup in Lingyi City, drink it before meals to help you have a good appetite - eat and drink well-"
A pure black flower-painted porcelain pot contained a small half pot of Qing Lingling's soup, with colorful small vegetable slices floating on it, and as soon as the porcelain pot fell to the ground, Xiao Er shouted softly.
"Wow, my egg custard—" Liu Wan cried with his tongue wide open.
The small bowl with a large pale emerald color seepage glaze was placed in front of everyone, one bowl per person, and then Xiao Er personally rolled up his sleeves to scoop the soup for everyone.
Liu Wan was the first to take a sip, "Ah, it's delicious—it's delicious—" he exclaimed, exaggeratedly.
Lao Zhong couldn't help but glance at this little brother again, and felt surprised, is it really so delicious?
You must know that this Liu Wan is a child who grew up in Liufu, although he has been sick, but after all, he is the person on the tip of the heart of the lord and the eldest wife, he eats and drinks the best, and he has seen a rough idea of what good food, who doesn't know how picky he usually is, and a dish can always pick out such and such deficiencies under his chopsticks.
I didn't expect him to be able to cheer so exaggeratedly at such a disrespectful soup, was he hungry on the road?
Liu Wan had already finished drinking a bowl, and asked for another bowl with the help of Lancao.
The dumb aunt also began to drink, and after drinking a small sip without saying a word, she just kept her tongue on the tip of her mouth and bowed her head for a long time, as if she was pondering something.
The old bell finally took a sip with curiosity.
The coachman, Hu Ma and others have already added a second bowl.
When Lao Zhong's eyes fell on the delicate porcelain basin, his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets, and now he finally experienced it himself, and he also understood that the soup that could be packed in such a fine black porcelain basin must have a good taste that matched its own identity.
It's not ordinarily delicious, the bowl is too small, and Uncle Zhong drank it in just one gulp.
He hadn't drunk enough, his eyes staring regretfully at the empty porcelain basin.
Such a good soup, where is the egg custard that Liu Wan said, and what kind of egg can make such a delicious soup?
The next dish came up.
Liu Wan jumped up from his chair, "The stewed old hen, the stewed old hen I ordered has come up." ”
This time, Uncle Zhong learned to be obedient, and he hurriedly took a closer look at the so-called old hen.
But in a large disc with a deep mouth as fine as jade, there was a milky white bird, its head twisted around, sandwiched under one wing, and only a pair of wings could be seen.
Old Uncle Zhong's eyes are straight, this, where is the old hen?
Can an old hen stew with such color and tenderness?
Old Uncle Zhong's heart was crossed, and he looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Dare to ask, how much is this dish worth?"
The little two pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, his voice was steady, "If you convert it into copper coins, the small ones really haven't been counted, and the small ones only know that if you pay the bill with silver, it will be ten taels of silver."
Click--the old bell bit his tongue in one bite.
A breath of cold air gasped into his stomach, and he looked at the people at the table who only cared about appreciating and tasting the food, and the whole person sat stupidly into a clay statue. (To be continued.) )
