Chapter Seventy-One
"Is it so delicious?" Jin Huang said, and his heart was already stretched out.
Gao Zhenbei nodded: "I have been traveling south and north for so many years, among the four countries in the Eastern Continent, only this beef balls are the most delicious! Not only the meat is full of elasticity, but also the taste is also very good, the fishy smell of the cow is covered, but the fresh fragrance is completely hung out, the last time I ate it was five years ago, when this store just opened, I queued up every day, five years have passed, and the queue has become longer and longer." ”
"Really...... Really?" Jin Huang stared at the brown oiled paper bag and couldn't help but swallow.
"Of course it's true! Taste one and you'll know!"
"Then, I'll eat one!" Jin Huang's gluttonous worm almost reached out of his throat.
Gao Zhenbei said loudly to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, come here, fill the wine bag for me, and bring two pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”
The round beef balls rolled off the oily paper bag, Jin Huang just wanted to pick up the chopsticks, Gao Zhenbei reached out and touched the edge of the bowl: "It's cold, you have to take it to warm it up." ”
Jin Huang thought that he would call Xiao Er again, but he didn't expect that he took the bowl and said a few words to Xiao Er, and then walked straight to the back kitchen.
Jin Huang, who was very curious, also followed his trail to the back kitchen, Xiao Er knew that she was with Gao Zhenbei, and he didn't stop her, and showed her the way to the kitchen very enthusiastically.
"You came just in time, I forgot to ask you if you want to eat turnips. Gao Zhenbei was cutting a green vegetable leaf with his head down.
Jin Huang had never heard of "turnip", and with a blank face, Gao Zhenbei picked up a leaf and handed it to her: "Only Feng County has this kind of dish in the entire Daheng, by the way, Hengguo people like to call it coriander." ”
Jin Huang took it, the smell of this plant is unique and strong, everything that is unique is destined not to be accepted by the public, but Jin Huang is an exception, she smiled: "It's okay, there is no taste that I can't accept." ”
"That's good. Gao Zhenbei continued to bow his head and chop vegetables, "I'm still worried that you have something to taboo." ”
"However, I can't eat anything good or bad, everything is basically the same, only the vegetables are burned, the seasoning is not put in, or too much, can be eaten. So, don't worry about me, just follow your habits. Jin Huang smiled and leaned against the door.
The oil in the pot was already rolling slightly, Gao Zhenbei threw down a few cloves of garlic that had already been peeled, "bang", the aroma of garlic cloves was dispersed in the air by the boiling oil to the greatest extent, Gao Zhenbei waved a shovel and turned a few times in the pot, and put down the cut mushroom slices and jade shoot slices in the same way, stir-frying.
"Can't you eat the taste of something?How much fun is lost in that?," Gao Zhenbei poured the beef balls he brought back into the pot again, added some broth, and simmered them with other ingredients.
Jin Huang crossed his arms and chuckled: "There is nothing bad about it, if you don't like something, you won't have weaknesses, I heard that the rules of the palace are serving, no matter how delicious the dish is, it can't exceed the third bite, if there is a favorite dish, but you can't eat it, it should be so depressing." ”
"But at least I'm happy when I eat it. ”
Jin Huang's voice was faint: "From love to worry, from love to worry, if you are separated from your lover, you will have no worries and no fear." ”
Gao Zhenbei's hand holding the shovel paused, and then turned his head to look at her: "This...... Beef balls, can you still eat them?"
"Why not?"
"I thought you were a monk, girl, and this red dust can be seen in tatters. ”
"Broken, hahaha, who taught you this Hengguo dialect, Hongchen, that's rotten. Jin Huang swept away the melancholy between Fang Cai's eyebrows, and a smile bloomed on his face, "How can I see through so many interesting things, and what if I regain my sense of taste one day?"
She continued: "By the way, my name is Jin Huang, what about you?"
"Gao Zhen North. ”
Jin Huang laughed again: "Is it worth emphasizing so much? Not only in the north, but really in the north." ”
Gao Zhenbei also laughed: "The balls are good, let's try to see if my private chef's dishes can cure your tastelessness." ”
He grabbed a handful of coriander, sprinkled it into the pot, and while stretching out his hand, he said to Jin Huang in a way that people who were particularly familiar with him: "Plate." ”
The sky is not afraid of the earth, Jin Huang, who even dared to joke about the queen's name in front of Feng Ge, ran to the cupboard and took out a big plate and held it to Gao Zhenbei.
Gao Zhenbei turned his head and found that she was so careful to hold an empty large plate tightly with both hands, and held it straight in front of him with both arms, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "I heard someone say a word in Daheng, but I don't understand the meaning, and now when I see your appearance, I suddenly understand." ”
Jin Huang looked at him puzzled: "What word?"
Gao Xuanwu smiled: "Raise your eyebrows?"
"Bah, nonsense, what a case to raise eyebrows!" Jin Huang felt a sudden fever on his face, and forced himself to refute: "First of all, this is a plate, and secondly, it is also to the chest!"
"Chest up?" Gao Zhenbei suddenly realized, before Jin Huang was annoyed and ashamed, he had already put all the dishes on the plate, and strode quickly towards the lobby.
Originally, it was just a few meatballs, but now some are processed for Gao Zhenbei, white mushroom slices, light yellow jade shoot slices, turquoise turnips, and brown beef balls, soaked in light golden broth.
"It's delicious when you look at it. Jin Huang stretched out his chopsticks to a beef ball, but instead of clamping it, he stabbed it hard, skewered the meatball on the chopsticks, and took a happy bite.
Gao Zhenbei was a little surprised: "You really don't look like Daheng's girl." ”
"Why are you scolding me?" said this, and Jin Huang took another bite.
"I didn't scold you, I like this kind of true temperament, we Beiyan people eat like this, usually eat the most is barbecue, Beiyan regardless of gender, will carry a knife with him, when eating barbecue, he uses a knife to cut off the knife, wipe it on the salt bowl and eat. ”
"Oh, and this way of eating? It's interesting. ”
Jin Huang smiled on his face, and his heart was full of disdain and ridicule, I want you to like it, who are you! The people of Beiyan are poor and dirty, and there is a little snow in the sky, or there is a drought, so they are forced, except to wield a knife to go south to rob, what else will they do? Barbarians!
"When I have a chance, I'll take you to eat. Gao Zhenbei also tied up a ball.
When he spoke, Jin Huang had already finished eating, she put down her chopsticks, and Gao Zhenbei smiled helplessly: "It seems that this dish is a failure." ”
"Well done, it's my problem. Jin Huang regretted a little at this time, how could he have put on such a pretence just now, although it didn't taste good, but it was still possible to pretend to be delicious, I don't know why I didn't think of it at all just now, maybe I also regarded Gao Zhenbei as a friend in the bottom of my heart, and I didn't think of hiding anything in front of him at all.
Gao Zhenbei asked, "Do you know Dugu Huaixin?"
"Who's that?"
"The owner of Yanque Lake Medicine House, even if it is the emperor of Western Xia, you have to give him three points, maybe he can cure your illness. It's a shame to eat good things but not taste them. Gao Zhenbei was eating, and he sincerely felt sorry for Jin Huang.
"Shhh The guy who was originally standing lazily on the side came over with a nervous face, "Dugu Huaixin believed that when he was cooking for the Beiyan envoys, he poisoned it and poisoned several people!"
Jin Huang already knew about this, but in order to fulfill the lie that he said before, "I just arrived today", he had to pretend to be shocked: "What? The owner of the medicine house is still in charge of cooking? Not only cooking, but also poisoning?"
"Hey, who knows what he thinks, the owner of a good medicine house is not right, and he went to Hongfang Pavilion to do chores, I heard that he did this once before, isn't it addictive. This time it was a big fuss, but the two of you must not talk about it in the small shop, in case it is heard, I am afraid that the small shop will also suffer. Xiao Er shook his head and walked away.
Jin Huang raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "It seems that my taste disorder cannot be cured. ”
"It's okay, without him, and me. Gao Zhenbei motioned for Jin Huang to stretch out his hand, and Jin Huang looked at him suspiciously: "Do you still have a pulse to see a doctor?"
Gao Zhenbei smiled: "You don't think I'm a bastard who deliberately touched your wrist by checking the pulse, right?"
That's right, Jin Huang really thought so at this time, and was broken by Gao Zhenbei's words, but he was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand: "Okay, I'll believe you once." ”
Gao Zhenbei's fingers were on Jin Huang's wrist for a while, and his originally relaxed expression became solemn: "You are caused by a great deal of damage to several acupoints, someone pricked your body with a golden needle, and it took a long time to pull it out." Not only should you eat without taste, but you should also have a much weaker sense of pain than others. ”
"Hehe......" Jin Huang withdrew his wrist, "I don't know when I was injured, it's been like this since I can remember, it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect my normal life." ”
Unable to stand Gao Zhenbei's sympathetic eyes looking at her, Jin Huang opened the jar of fragrant honey Liuyun wine on the table again: "Bring it back from such a distance, you still have to drink a little." As he spoke, he raised his head and drank it in a big gulp, no, it couldn't be called drinking anymore, it was called irrigation.
When Gao Zhenbei snatched the wine jar from her hands, Jin Huang's expression was already a little confused, his cheeks were flushed, and even his eyes were red. All the heads and faces were the wine that had just been poured out of the jar in a hurry.
"Why do you want to do this to yourself?" Gao Zhenbei was stupid, and at this time he could see that Jin Huang's mood was wrong, Jin Huang smiled and stretched out his hand to take the wine jar back: "Because it's a waste if you don't drink it, what a pity, three taels of silver a jar." ”
Gao Zhenbei twisted his eyebrows: "Didn't you already give me this jar of wine just now?
"Drink...... Drink ......" Jin Huang was already drunk and hazy, and he was half-lying on the table and waved his hand casually.
Gao Zhenbei hugged the altar and drank all the remaining wine in the altar in one go, he put the jar down, but found that Jin Huang, who was sitting across the table, lay down, his eyes were closed, his breathing was even, and he fell asleep?
I knew that I slept so fast, so I wouldn't drink so much sweet and greasy women's wine.
Gao Zhenbei stood up, stood beside her, and called twice: "Golden girl, golden girl." ”
Jin Huang didn't move.
Gao Zhenbei pushed her again.
Still not moving.
Gao Zhenbei scratched his head, there was really no way, and he couldn't just hang her here, thought about picking her up, walked to the room, put her down, took off her shoes, socks and coats for her, shook off the quilt again, covered her, and put down the bed tent intimately, just about to leave, picked up the teapot on the table and shook it, found that there was no water in it, and took the teapot downstairs to find Xiao Er to fill a pot of tea, and after doing all this, he really left.
Before going out, he also used a clever method to make the door latch fall automatically and lock it from the inside, so that no one would break in.
Gao Zhenbei had just left, Jin Huang, who was still drunk and limp like mud, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, where was she half drunk, she sat up from the bed, lifted the curtain and got up, at this time, it was already the beginning of the lights, a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky, and the stars and moon were gone. She took out a bag from the cabinet and opened it to take out a black night robe and a masked scarf.
After cleaning up, he pushed the window out, his body was light, and he rose and fell several times with the momentum of "swallows copying water three times", and had landed on the top of a house in the distance, hiding his figure behind the ridge of the roof, looking down from above, the lights were bright, and countless guards walked back and forth to patrol.
This is the most important place in Great Xia.
The area of the Great Xia Palace is only about half the size of the Great Heng Palace, but because of the ability of the Great Xia craftsmen, every house is tall and bright, the hall is wide and deep, and the appearance does not look very gorgeous, but only when you are in it, you will find that there is ingenuity everywhere.
It was late at night, everything was quiet, it was already dark outside the palace, and even the lights in the palace were extinguished one by one, only the lanterns were still lit outside the porch, although they were still very bright, but they had given those who wanted to sneak in an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Jin Huang saw the opportunity, crossed the palace wall, and fell between the corner of the wall and the shadows of the trees, like a leaf falling on the grass, silently. She quietly leaned against the wall and watched a group of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids walk past.
The number and scale are much worse than the level of the Daheng Palace, and for a person who has seen the world, this person is nothing.
She waited for the opportunity, and watched the staggered efforts of the two teams, so she ran out of the outer wall two feet away from the bottom of the inner wall, and all this, those guards were still unconscious, but the person at the end of the team felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and turned around, just the last person of the palace maid's team, and also happened to turn around in confusion.
Under the four eyes, the palace maid lowered her head shyly, and the guard showed an honest smile on her face......
Jin Huang squatted at the base of the wall, his face showing the disdain of a single dog: "Phew." ”
The Great Xia Palace also pays attention to the highest status of the person living in the center, and it is effortless to find the place where the emperor Li Yunyang lives.
As soon as he approached the Qingliang Palace, Jin Huang felt cold and swishing on his body, and inexplicably felt the bitter cold of winter.
