The moon shadow is misty, and the street corner is still prosperous. Copy the URL to visit wèn

A wooden cart and a few rough low tables, but business was booming.

I waited for a while, and then I came to a place far from the street.

"The bean curd fish in this house is really good!" Xu had been waiting for a long time, or felt that this street stall could not match Xu Chen's rich identity, so Tang Xuexue explained.

Xu Chen smiled slightly: "Actually, we used to eat hundreds of meals in Yuzhang City. ”

"Oh, is it?" Tang Xuexuan was slightly startled.

When Tang Yuan met Xu Chen, the life of the teenagers had already improved, and they might not be unfamiliar with the experience of begging for a living, but there was no need to publicize it.

At that time, Tang Yuan and his wife only knew that Xu Chen was Xu Fan's student, and later Xu Fan became the prime minister of the dynasty, and Xu Chen also had an official body.

"That'...... You're so much better than me!" Tang Xuejun laughed.

"Uh...... It's okay!" Xu Chen smirked.

"What does Miss Tang want?" The stall is a mom-and-pop shop, where the husband is busy in front of the stove and the wife is busy greeting customers.

"Do you have any fresh fish today?" Tang Xuejun should be a regular customer, and said familiarly: "I won't pay for yesterday's food!"

"Look at what you said!" The proprietress said with a smile: "They are all fresh grass carp just caught from the river in the evening, how long have you been a regular customer, and can you still make Miss Tang rude in front of her sweetheart?"

Although there are two more boudoir friends in Chang'an, after all, they are both wealthy and eunuch families, such as the street stall in front of them, if they are invited, the two will come, but they will inevitably be uncomfortable.

Therefore, Tang Xueying came alone before.

Tang Shi's atmosphere was already arrogant, Tang Xuejun was a regular customer here, and the proprietress didn't treat her as an outsider, this was the first time the proprietress saw Tang Xuejue bring someone here, not to mention that she was still a handsome son.

Tang Xuexue's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "Aunt Guo, if you talk nonsense, I won't come next time!"

"Okay, okay! Don't say it!" the proprietress still looked at the two of them with a smile, just as a girl with thin skin.

Tang Xuejun sighed slightly in her heart: "I knew I wouldn't have come here!"

Xu Chen, who was sitting opposite, kept smiling and bowing his head, and when he saw that the girl was a little embarrassed, he asked the proprietress, "Do you have anything delicious here?"

The proprietress said proudly: "This son, don't look at the small façade of my house, it's not that I boast, my family's bean curd fish is the most authentic in Chang'an!"

"Okay!" Tang Xuejun glanced at her: "Every time I come, I have to listen to your nagging!"

"A pot of bean curd fish, a few plates of side dishes!" said and looked at Xu Chen again, and asked, "Do you drink?"

"Are you cold?" Xu Chen asked rhetorically.

"It's okay!" Tang Xuejun replied.

"Then don't drink it!" Xu Chen said lightly.

The proprietress went to get busy, and the two continued to talk about the topic just now.

"Is the floating beam okay?"

"I haven't been there, but the rebellion is mainly in Gangnam East Province and the northern part of Lingnan Province, and there is no news in the military newspaper that the rebel army is haunting Gangnam West Road. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xuejun nodded slightly, as if she was a lot relieved.

While waiting, Tang Xueying asked about what happened to Xu Chen in the south for more than a year.

Xu Chen didn't say much about those things on the battlefield, but just briefly mentioned a few words, let alone the entanglements behind the war.

When the girl asked about her hometown, Xu Chen pondered for a moment and gave a definite answer.

After all, there are forces like Wan Wan in Yuzhang County and its surroundings, and the turmoil provoked by the remnants of the Yang family has not yet been able to affect the forces here.

"Are you homesick?" Seeing Tang Xueying's eyes confused, Xu Chen asked with a smile.

"Well, I kind of want to!" Tang Xueying raised her eyes to look at him and smiled: "But the place where everyone in the family is home is home, and Fuliang ......"

"I'm sorry!"

"No, it's all over......" Tang Xueying's tone was a little low: "It's just that sometimes I think of Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, when I was a child, I was brought up by them." ”

"......" Xu Chen was silent.

Tang Xuexue couldn't know the helplessness in this silence.

The bean curd fish is served.

A clay pot rests on a small red clay stove, and the dry wood burns and crackles.

"I can't eat it now, I have to simmer it for a while before the soup can taste good!" Seeing Xu Chen constantly looking at the clay pot, Tang Xuejun said with a smile.

"Aunt Guo, where's the pepper?" Glancing at the spices on the table, Tang Xuejun turned around and asked, "How can I eat without pepper?"

"I'm really sorry!" the proprietress replied apologetically: "The bag of pepper in the previous year has just run out, and there is no pepper to be found in the east and west cities at this time, why don't you make do with some peppercorns first?"

If you want to find pepper, you can find it, and those Hu merchants who came to Chang'an in a hurry don't know how many good goods they have, especially spices and other precious things, it is impossible to be less!

It's just that these Hu businessmen won't let go now, the Chinese New Year is such a good time, and the consumption of spices is huge, if you don't wait for the inventory in the hands of the people of Chang'an on the fourth and fifth days of the new year, how can the shrewd Hu businessmen make a move now?

But if you want to buy it, you can buy it, not to mention other places, just Tang Xuexue's own home, there is no shortage of all kinds of spices. It's just that this street stall obviously doesn't have such a big ability, and it is impossible to spend several times more money than usual.

"Forget it, Sichuan pepper is Sichuan pepper!" Tang Xueying was a little regretful, thinking that since he had come here to eat bean curd fish, if he couldn't be the best, he would really lose his hospitality.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry! I have a seasoning that's better than pepper!"

"Oh?" Tang Xuejun looked at him.

Xu Chen immediately took out a small crystal jade bottle from his arms, then approached the lid of the pot, lifted the lid of the pot, quickly poured the red powder in the jade bottle into it, and then quickly covered the lid.

"What's that?"

Tang Xuejun was a little curious, although she didn't know what it was, but the crystal jade bottle in Xu Chen's hand was not an ordinary thing at first glance, and the things that could be contained in it were naturally ordinary.

"You'll find out later!" Xu Chen smiled mysteriously.

Like potatoes, there are peppers in the remnants, but they can't touch oxygen, and when they come into contact with them, they immediately turn into a pile of odorless dust.

But if you are quick, there will always be some lucky chili peppers that will be dissolved in the soup before they are completely oxidized, leaving the spiciness in the soup.

In order to satisfy his cravings from time to time, Xu Chen did not hesitate to make a special spice box, engraved with runes and inlaid with spirit stones, especially in this unpredictable Chang'an City, this seasoning box alone costs a lot of spirit stones every day.

However, it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, and in order to eat delicious food, these consumption Xu Chen will be regarded as not saving.

Sure enough, after Xu Chen poured the red powder into the basin, an even richer fragrance came to his nose.

That's a smell that Tang Xuejun has never smelled!

"This ...... What did you add?" Tang Xuexuan's eyes lit up.

"Hehe!" Xu Chen smiled proudly, calculated the time, and lifted the lid of the pot: "Try it yourself!"

After the lid of the pot was lifted, a stream of white gas rushed out, circled around the two of them for a moment, and then carried it around in the wind.

"It smells so good!" the diners at the surrounding tables looked up and looked sideways.

The people who came here to eat were ordinary people, and when they saw Xu Chen's outfits, although they were curious, they didn't dare to ask directly.

Then the man, who was also a regular customer, asked the proprietress, "Boss, what secret recipe have you added here, why is it so fragrant?"

The proprietress didn't know, she looked at Xu Chen's table, and had to turn around and smile at the diners: "I think the nobles added their own seasonings!"

Unwilling to make trouble, Aunt Guo in the market has her own intelligence.

Listening to the proprietress say this, although the surrounding diners are still nostalgic for this charming fragrance, they only take two more bites and bury their heads in eating the fish.

Xu Chenzi didn't care about this, and Tang Xueying on the other side was all focused on the food in front of him at the moment.

Seeing a touch of red floating in the rich soup, the fresh and tender fish meat with the smooth bean curd, the girl couldn't help but swallow her saliva with a "grunt".

Pretty face suddenly flushed.

Xu Chen didn't see it, and handed over the cleaned chopsticks.

"Taste it!"

"Good!"

Tang Xuejun took a piece of fish meat, put it to his mouth and blew it gently, and then put it in his mouth.

It's still cool and smooth, melts in your mouth, but it's extra spicy!

Exceptionally spicy!

It was a violent thrill as if there was a fire burning in the mouth!

There is a spicy taste, but the only bad thing is that Xu Chen really can't detect how much oxygen is in the pot, let alone calculate the time of the oxidation reaction, so every time Xu Chen pours a whole bottle of chili powder into it in an instant.

Of course, there is no way to control the amount of serving......

For a time-tested person like Xu Chen, this little chili pepper is naturally nothing.

However, for Tang Xuejun, who came into contact with chili peppers for the first time, the food in her mouth became a piece of burning charcoal.

His forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and his mouth was bulging, as if he was struggling violently.

"Oh no!" Xu Chen immediately reacted when he saw this: "Hurry! I'm about to vomit!"

As he spoke, he immediately poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuexue's eyes widened slightly, and she swallowed the coals in her mouth fiercely.

Then he grabbed the water handed by Xu Chen, raised his head and poured it down.

However, this could not reduce the burning sensation in the girl's mouth in the slightest, and she hurriedly grabbed the kettle, poured two cups of water in succession, and the playful fragrant tongue kept spitting out, and it took a while for Tang Xuejun to regain her ability to speak.

"Good...... Good ......"

"Yes! It's so spicy!" Xu Chen said apologetically: "I forgot that you are eating it for the first time, and the portion may be too much!"

"It's delicious!" Tang Xueying's eyes were shining, staring at the clay pot like a hungry wolf, while spitting out her fragrant tongue, while holding chopsticks, struggling to attack again, her mouth kept praising it: "It's delicious!

"Forehead ......" looked at the foodie in front of him, and Xu Chen was speechless for a while.

Soon, Tang Xuexue, who felt that she had recovered, dropped her chopsticks again......

However, the aroma of this pot of bean curd fish wafted quietly into the distance in this silent night.

In the night sky, the thick clouds slowly moved, and the bright moon was gradually swallowed.
