Chapter 30: Inquiring
In fact, there are not many delicious delicacies on the table, but a small plate of home-style scrambled eggs, a small bowl of pork stew with cabbage, two butterflutters with pickles, and half a chicken stew. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rice is a real big white rice, but the quality of the rice is not very good, there is no stickiness, the taste is slightly slagty, and you don't need to eat it to know that it is more than two years of old rice.
But anyway, it's not rice. It's these vegetables and meat, which are also commendable.
It's been more than two years, no, plus more than a year of disaster and famine, together, they haven't eaten such a meal for almost four years, how can Meng Ge and the three of them not sigh.
"Everyone, everything you have asked for is here, if there is anything else you need to call me, I will wait downstairs. The shopkeeper glanced at them puzzled, pouted and closed the door and left.
After the shopkeeper left, Meng Ge cleared his throat and said a little choked: "Okay, let's eat quickly." I haven't eaten it in years, so give me a good meal, don't choke. Small spear spear, drink chicken soup first. ”
Meng Ge said, and started to fill each of them with a bowl of chicken soup. Under the expectant gaze of the two younger brothers, Meng Ge was agitated and drank the first bite of chicken soup.
Chickens, it was the pheasants that Mongo brought with them. The soup is made by the chefs here. Inside, there were some things that Meng Ge couldn't find in the mountains.
Seeing that the two younger brothers were staring at him with round eyes, Meng Ge smiled and said, "Drink quickly, it's delicious." ”
So, Meng Mao and Yu Yang grabbed the bowl and couldn't wait to eat it.
As Meng Ge said, this soup was very delicious, and the three of them divided half a pot of soup in a few clicks.
After drinking the soup, they began to eat in a proper manner. These meals are all delicious, and they are delicious in their mouths.
Because he knew the amount of food of the three of them, Meng Ge asked Xiao Er to put most of the half pot of rice on the table.
As a result, all three of them ate this meal. Even if they didn't finish the rice, the three of them planned to watch it and not let it be taken away.
Yu Yang held his stomach and suddenly cried: "If there was so much rice to eat back then, we wouldn't have become orphans." It's all to blame on God, what kind of famine is there for no reason. This emperor is not a good product, so he should go to hell. ”
Meng Ge's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he immediately stepped forward to cover his mouth and stop him from talking any further.
No matter when, no matter how stupid and incompetent the emperor is, even if the people are full of complaints, rebellions are everywhere, and private discussions and accusations against the emperor are also disasters and are not accepted by people.
"Don't you want to die, this is the people, not the mountains, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. What are we going down for, to survive!" Meng Ge whispered a warning, and then quickly rushed to the door, looking around to make sure that no one heard what Yu Yang had just said.
Yu Yang was not angry at first, his anger in his heart was unquenchable, and his sadness made him desperate. However, after Meng Ge made his words clear, Yu Yang knew that he was in trouble.
Even if they are three-year-olds, when they are sensible, the elders of the family will teach them not to talk about state affairs, not to mention or discuss any matters of the heavenly family.
In the hearts of the people, the emperor is the sky, the pride of the sky, and he cannot be offended by ordinary people.
Meng Mao stared blankly at his brother and sister who suddenly became terrified, a little at a loss.
He must have been too young to understand his parents' past teachings, and he didn't understand the consequences of Yu Yang's words just now.
"Alright, it's okay, let's go to sleep. Yu Yang, remember, don't say such things in the future, it's too dangerous, we can't afford to provoke it. Meng Ge looked at the dark and silent corridor, and finally felt a little relieved.
But none of them knew that next door to them, there lived four people. The four men were on alert when Meng Ge shouted to take the water.
After listening to Yu Yang's curse on the emperor, the four of them all showed expressions of understanding. After that, Meng Ge's warning made them even more curious.
"Childe, could they be mountain bandits?" a young man asked the boy who was standing by the bed with his hands behind his back.
The young man looked inexplicable, and the hands behind his back were tightly pressed together.
"Observe again, don't startle the snake. The boy whispered back.
If Meng Ge pushed open the door of the next room at this time, he would definitely be surprised. It's so terrifying that the few people she robbed are now living next to them.
The night was surprisingly peaceful. The three Meng Ge, who tossed and fell asleep in the middle of the night, slept until three o'clock in the morning.
Of course, it is unlikely that Meng Ge will die of sleep. Anyway, human society is also more dangerous than the world of beasts.
As a result, she is always a light sleeper, in a state of half-asleep. It wasn't until dawn that I slept peacefully.
That is, when Meng Ge was relieved to sleep, the four people next door checked out and left.
"Shopkeeper, who are the new guests who came in last night, why do they sound like children?" asked a young man who didn't seem to be easy at the time of settlement.
"Isn't it just a child? The eldest of them was fifteen years old, and the youngest was only six years old. I heard that a relative died and went out of the mountains to beg for a living. Life in the mountains is hard. "The shopkeeper does not hide it.
Because that's what they told him. It's just that their domicile is in the south.
After asking about the situation, the young man next to the young man asked him with a look in his eyes if he wanted to continue.
The teenager weighed one or two, and chose to leave first. "Let's go, my dad is still waiting for us to go back on an errand. The boy said in a deep voice.
Yes, they all suspected the Mongo people. The boy was particularly sensitive to Menggo's voice, and he always felt that he could not be wrong.
However, they still didn't start in the Ascension Inn, after all, this inn is not simple. They decided to wait for Meng Ge and the others to leave the inn and make sure that it was really them before they started.
However, their departure is a year's worth of rubbing shoulders.
By the time Meng Ge and the others appeared in the hall of the Ascension Inn refreshed, the young men had already left with the people who had come looking for them.
"Shopkeeper, there are shops in this town that collect furs? However, they are all uncooked. When Meng Ge was waiting for the shopkeeper to go up, he asked the shopkeeper behind the counter.
This inn is really strange, how can it be the same little two and the same shopkeeper day and night.
No matter how Meng Ge couldn't figure it out, the two of them still dozed off and dangled in front of them.
"This old man doesn't know. The old man guards the inn all year round, and the old man really doesn't know what it's like outside. The middle-aged shopkeeper stood behind the counter in a regular manner, his bloodshot eyes slightly narrowed by the sun.
Shopkeeper brings out a large tray from the back, on which are three bowls of noodles and two Fluttershy pickles.
"Guest, if you want to know anything, just ask me. I often ask Wang Laohu, who goes into the town next door to collect night incense, and I know everything. The white and tender face of the shopkeeper was slightly pink due to excitement.
"Really, then let me ask you, who is in charge of the Great Song Dynasty now?" Meng Ge didn't hold out hope, just asked casually.
