Chapter Twenty-Three: A Roast Sheep
After the tea was poured, everyone didn't move the cup, because the mud cup was too rough, and there was a layer of oil floating on the tea, which matched the dim lights in the inn, adding a little horror.
Li Yuanhao moved his body, away from the mud cup, and saw Ding Yi smiling in the corner of his eyes, this laughing teenager seemed to know that Li Yuanhao had a habit of cleanliness, and showed a gloating expression without concealment, see what you do?
Li Yuanhao rolled his eyes, stretched out two fingers, and pushed the teacup in front of Ding Yi: "Nuo, drink it." ”
Ding Yi restrained his smile: "I'm not thirsty." After a pause, he pushed the teacup back: "Sister, you should drink it while it's hot!"
Ding Yi came to the Zhenbei Army from Tai'an City, and he only knew that he wanted to escort a noble person north to Shengjing City, but as for Li Yuanhao's true identity, he didn't know at all.
Although Li Yuanhao is His Majesty the Emperor, there is a gap of 108,000 miles between his temperament and the Son of Heaven, and she does not feel a little angry about Ding Yi's harmless little tricks, but a little nostalgic, Xiuce often jokes with her like this, and the ridicule between the sisters and brothers is not only frequent, but also surprisingly large.
Liang Xiuxiu's eyes have always been on the proprietress when she sees the proprietress she always thinks of the old lady who kneels in the gray alley of her hometown and knocks on wooden fish all day long, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, she clearly has her back to you, but you can feel that she is staring at you all the time, looking at you, which makes people hairy, so that when she walks through the alley, she holds her breath and stands on tiptoe.
Waiting for the proprietress to leave, Liang Xiuxiu exhaled and began to count how bad the inn was, her voice was very small, and she didn't dare to let the proprietress hear it.
After waiting for a while, the young man who was called a little lamb by the proprietress came down from the second floor, lowered his head, did not look at everyone, and said in a voice without waves: "Guest officers, please go up to the second floor." ”
Fan Yanqiu thanked him in a low voice, led everyone up to the second floor, and stepped on the stairs that had fallen into disrepair, the floor squeaked, like a mouse grinding its teeth, accompanied by dust falling down, Li Yuanhao couldn't help frowning, and Liang Xiuxiu was another insulting curse.
Li Yuanhao tilted his head and glanced at Liang Xiuxiu, thinking that if this Miss Liang family stayed under Sister Feng for a few days, she would be cleaned up and obedient, and she would not dare to scold anymore.
Feng Xiaochai has such magic, every time Chen Luoyan is beaten by Li Yuanhao and runs all over the mountain, she will always seek refuge in Feng Xiaochai as soon as possible, and Li Yuanhao, who is like a tiger descending from the mountain and vows to beat Chen Luoyan to death, sees Feng Xiaochai, and becomes a well-behaved kitten, not daring to make a mistake, so she can only wave her fist at the triumphant Chen Luoyan.
Entering the room, Li Yuanhao found that the room was quite spacious, but it was definitely not comfortable to do with it, a table with a missing corner was placed in the middle of the room, covered with dust, the bed was made of clay kang, piled up, covered with thick straw mats, and a thin oily quilt was piled aside.
The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window, swirling, rolling up the dust on the ground, Li Yuanhao couldn't help coughing twice, gently pushed open the window in front of him, and could overlook half of the Yuelai Inn, the proprietress was wrapped in a dirty apron, busy in the kitchen, in the sheepfold, Boss Xie was lame, brandishing a kitchen knife, chasing the sheep.
Fan Yanqiu ordered a roasted whole sheep and specially let Li Yuanhao taste it.
As if sensing Li Yuanhao's eyes, the couple at Yuelai Inn turned their heads at the same time and smiled humbly at Li Yuanhao on the second floor.
Li Yuanhao lowered his head and smiled, his eyes fell on the root of the inn wall, the little lamb squatted there, hugged his shoulders, closed his eyes, and his body twitched, obviously crying.
Closing the doors and windows, Li Yuanhao removed the knife on his waist, put it on the table, slowly closed his eyes, looked inside the breath in his body, and regulated the meridians.
Thinking back on the bits and pieces she has experienced, she has the heart to integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools, but she can't find the right time to bring her one step closer.
Unconsciously, it was already dark, Li Yuanhao got up and went out, took two steps and retreated, wearing the double knife on his waist.
Although it is hard, the downstairs is already very lively, everyone sits together, from time to time there are bursts of exclamations, even the picky Liang Xiuxiu also bursts out of cheers from time to time, Li Yuanhao walked over curiously, it turned out that Boss Xie was roasting mutton, a whole lamb hanged, Boss Xie skillfully stirred the wooden stick that ran through it, the fiery red flames licked upward, like a bird waiting to be fed, the golden roasted whole sheep kept rolling, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.
Boss Xie's fingers are stirring faster and faster, and the speed of roasting the whole sheep is also turning faster and faster, and the swirling wind divides the bonfire into two parts, making a whirring sound, Liang Xiuxiu exclaimed continuously, and couldn't help but applaud, admiring.
Grabbed the wooden stick suddenly, the roasted whole sheep stopped suddenly, the bonfire roared high, rolled the roasted whole sheep, the flame has not fallen and returned to calm, a bowl of peanut oil in Boss Xie's hand has been poured up, the oil and water flow downstream, and the fragrance is stronger.
"Hurry up, hurry up and cut a piece for me, I'm hungry!" Liang Xiuxiu's fingers flew.
Boss Xie slashed over, and a piece of mutton rose in the air, which happened to fall on Liang Xiuxiu's plate, and Liang Xiuxiu ate it hungrily, and the praise continued.
The crowd rushed up to taste the delicacies in this desolate place.
Fan Yanqiu put on a piece of mutton and handed it to Li Yuanhao: "Miss Li, try it, every time you pass by the Yuelai Inn, the caravan always stops and stays to taste Boss Xie's craftsmanship." ”
Li Yuanhao thanked him, the mutton was in the mouth, and he hadn't chewed it yet, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, the roasted whole sheep in front of him was delicious, but it was still a little hot from the best roasted whole sheep, and she began to complain a little about Chen Luoyan who was far away in Jiankang City, Princess Nanliang once said that the most delicious roasted whole sheep should be ...... Shaking his head, Li Yuanhao threw Chen Luoyan out of his mind, and this slut appeared more and more frequently.
The upper and lower teeth touched, Li Yuanhao's eyes narrowed, he suddenly stopped chewing, and looked at Boss Xie and the proprietress in the crowd, the proprietress pinched a piece of mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in her mouth, Boss Xie reached out to wipe the residual grease from the corner of the boss's mouth, and smiled, and the proprietress also smiled, a loving couple.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuanhao swallowed the mutton.
Outside the Yuelai Inn, within a hundred miles of the wasteland, there is only this lonely inn, the faint light is transmitted from the inn, you can see it from a distance, suddenly, a pair of eyes shining in the night appeared, it was a steppe wolf, with a bunch of white hair on its head, and its eyes leaked a fierce light, this is the head wolf of the wolf pack, and then the second pair and the third pair of the same eyes......
The head wolf quietly observed the Yuelai Inn, as if weighing the pros and cons, let out a low roar, turned away, and the other steppe wolves also retreated and disappeared into the night of the grassland.
