Chapter 332: Official Errand
What is he thinking, how could Lin Nan not know, Lin Nan is dressed so shabby and still sitting in a conspicuous place, he can't afford to scare away the guests, since he said that someone ordered, Lin Nan didn't care, Lin Nan didn't want to make trouble today, turned around and went upstairs and followed Xiao Er to a remote seat and sat down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Xiao Er very skillfully picked up the rag and symbolically wiped it twice on the table that had been wiped, and continued to introduce to Lin Nan: "There are countless dishes famous in the shop, and the most famous ones are 'gourd chicken' and 'frightening fish', but the price is expensive, this ...... This one...... The shop doesn't take credit, I don't know ......"
"Damn, this dress is really harmful, remember to change their clothes when you go back, it's really a shame for my workshop. Lin Nan raised his eyebrows, this kind of snobbery, Lin Nan can see a lot more, and he doesn't bother to talk to him, he took out a silver ingot from his chest pocket and shook it in front of his eyes and put it back in his arms, "How about it, is this money enough to eat a few dishes? Just ask for these two dishes first, and then a bowl of good fresh soup." ”
"Enough, enough. "A piece of silver can be used for a family to eat for many months, although this guy said enough on the one hand, but secretly showed a suspicious look, Lin Nan knew what he was thinking, probably thought that Lin Nan was a thief, Lin Nan glared at him, I just hope that he will not meddle in his affairs, disturb Lin Nan's travel Yaxing, otherwise Lin Nan may destroy his whole family as soon as he becomes popular.
"Wait a minute, officer. Under Lin Nan's gaze, he replaced "you" with "you", Xiao Er turned to leave, and shouted downstairs, "A plate of gourd chicken, a plate of storm fish, and a bowl of high-quality snowflake soup...... "He looks like a real material, as soon as Xiao Er left, Lin Nan sat there bored and waited for the food to be served, and was about to look at the scenery outside from the window, when he suddenly heard two familiar voices coming from downstairs, as if he was going upstairs.
"Brother Li, the gourd chicken in this paradise residence is a must in the capital, and the special wine is also very good. Soon, a magnetic voice came from downstairs.
Lin Nan felt that this voice was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and when he was thinking about it, another voice sounded again: "I have this intention in the next, but this time I have to do it in the east, Brother Wang, please, I heard Brother Wang's new words last time, and I admire it tightly, and I must ask for advice today." ”
"How dare you ......"
Lin Nan suddenly, no wonder they are so familiar, it turns out that these two people are the left and right hands of the second prince Li Ran and the second prince's new guest Qing Wang Feng, these two Lin Nan have seen at the celebration banquet, because they are the second prince's personal subordinates, so they saw it at a glance when they sat in line, and later Lin Nan asked Kong Yu, these two people are new to the second emperor's brother, and they replaced Su Xian and Liu Yuxi's previous positions, it is said that these two people have been outside the palace with the second emperor brother for many years, this time the second emperor brother is short of talents to enter the palace to help, and they are also two resourceful strongmen, I heard that they are very literate。
Lin Nan secretly said that this is not good, such a coincidence, how did he meet these two people, if they found out about him and grabbed his pigtail, he would definitely have made a great achievement.
This restaurant is just a staircase, Lin Nan can't escape if he wants to, if he rashly jumps out of the window, the second little man in the restaurant will shout to catch the thief, which is even more troublesome, but although the shop's little two are snobbish, but it also makes Lin Nan a blessing because of misfortune, so that Lin Nan does a deviation, Lin Nan hurriedly adjusted the direction, his face was facing the wall, and secretly swept back from time to time, hoping to pick an opportunity to flash people.
It's noon now, there are quite a lot of people eating upstairs, Lin Nanren's small clothes are inconspicuous, obviously they didn't attract the attention of the two, the two picked a seat on the street and sat down and started chatting, the little two obviously knew Li Ran, and they kept smiling behind them, and when the two sat down, they asked what dishes to start with.
Wang Feng ordered five or six side dishes in one go, and asked for a jar of special brew, so he and Li Ran talked about poetry again, Lin Nan wanted to leave early, and was afraid that Xiao Er would trouble Lin Nan, so he had to be patient, and at the same time he also listened to the high opinions of the two writers by the way, it is estimated that they will not mention the affairs of the palace when chatting like this, this is outside the palace, and it will be taboo to talk casually.
The two of them talked about the poems and their voices were not high, Lin Nan was far away, Lin Nan didn't use internal force, but faintly heard the words "autumn water is the same color as the sky" and "I can't sleep alone", the two of them chatted and applauded, and they praised for a while, but I couldn't see what these two people had except for a little literary talent, that is, there was no heaviness of Su Xian and no wisdom of Liu Yuxi, and it was estimated that there was really no one around the two imperial brothers.
The speed of serving food in this restaurant is quite fast, Lin Nan was listening inadvertently, Xiao Er put Lin Nan's three things on the table, threw down the sentence "the guest officer is slow to use" and ran to Li Ran to listen to the dispatch.
The two of them were brightly dressed, and they looked like distinguished guests, so he naturally didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Nan.
"The snacks in Beijing really live up to their reputation. Lin Nan tasted a few bites, and felt good, the dishes served here can be described as full of color, flavor, and flavor, take this gourd chicken as an example, I don't know how to cook it, it has just been fried out of the pot, the aroma is overflowing, and the golden skin makes people appetize.
Tender chicken, chicken bones have been pumped away, the whole is like a gourd shape, a plate of chicken with a small dish of pepper powder, dipped in fine taste, not greasy, full of flavor, unique taste, than the chicken dishes in the imperial dining room.
It's just that Lin Nan can't figure out why such a delicious chicken has never been seen in the palace that gathers the world's delicious food, and it seems that the old chef in the palace will have to be criticized next time.
After eating for a while, since the two of them couldn't see Lin Nan, Lin Nan didn't care about them for a while, and when he shook off his cheeks, he was chewing for a while, presumably the people who ate this chicken for the first time were so greedy, so no one paid special attention to Lin Nan, but the conversation between the two diners at the next table attracted Lin Nan's attention.
"Brother Liu, a few days ago, a lot of cars came from other places, and a lot of strange stones were transported into the city, and there were cinders at the gate of the city, I don't know what the use is, your cousin is on an errand in the government, have you heard any news?" A diner Jia asked, Lin Nan heard a testimony, is the strange stone? Could it be the ore transported to the workshop? Lin Nan couldn't help but start paying attention, for a while, Lin Nan noticed that the guests at several tables began to pull their ears, and it seemed that they were also quite concerned about this matter.
The guy known as Brother Liu looked triumphant, and said in a mocking manner: "Brother Jia Xian, you are asking the right person, and when you ask the second one, I don't know, my cousin is on an errand under the master of Beijing, and now he is red and purple, and he was still ...... last year." As soon as he talked about his cousin, it was endless, as if it was himself, these people were masters of bragging, Lin Nan secretly scolded in his heart that the person known as Brother Jia was also a chronic son, so long-winded would not interrupt him, if it weren't for the presence of Li Ran and Wang Feng, Lin Nan would have gone up directly to ask.
Finally, when he made a long speech, Brother Liu finally remembered the topic: "I heard my cousin say that the stones transported this time were sent from all over the vicinity, and there were dozens of carts!" Workshop's place, it's the one that paid for people to move a few days ago, my cousin said, the workshop was given by the emperor to the five princes, and the five princes also invited Wuji Taoist, presumably to refine what kind of silkworm Duan Gu Jia for the emperor, and ah, my cousin said, there are a lot of strange things in that 'workshop', he once saw a two-wheeled wooden car that can run upright, but God, I heard that it is called' Bicycle's coming, Brother Jia, these shouldn't be said in the next place, but in the next but we are brothers and sisters to tell you, but don't spread it......" The surname Jia is an understanding person, and he nodded busily and said: "Yes, yes, how can I talk nonsense, Brother Liu, don't worry, I must be tight-lipped, I invited ...... this meal"
Lin Nan was taken aback, but this is a double-sided blade, and most of the people in the palace know about the things he mentioned, but what kind of silkworm Duan Gujia is purely farting, and more importantly, he actually knows about bicycles, but Lin Nan thought about it, this is good, just help himself publicize it, let the entire capital know his masterpiece, and save himself a lot of trouble.
Anyway, the eldest brother and the second emperor brother know about the bicycle, and Lin Nan is not afraid, as soon as he talks to his father, he says that Lin Nan is doing it according to Lu Ban's classics, it doesn't matter, anyway, Lin Nan has been a prodigy since he was a child, and inventing something is not out of the limelight, and the two of them are now pretending not to know, and it is estimated that they don't know what Lin Nan will do, so they don't care much, and they probably can't figure out Lin Nan's intentions, so let Lin Nan do it, so it's just right, they are not vigilant, but Lin Nan has murderous intentions, this kind of thing is God helps Lin Nan also。
Seeing that no one was talking anymore, Lin Nan only took a stick of incense to sweep the delicious food on the table, burped, looked at the pile of chicken bones on the table, and felt very satisfied.
Hearing the checkout, Xiao Er quickly ran over: "Gourd chicken, one tael of silver, shocking fish, three dollars and five cents; Then he stretched out his hand in front of Lin Nan, like a beggar, Lin Nan was in a hurry to leave, and directly took out two taels of silver, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Don't look for it." Without waiting for his thanks, he bent down and ran straight down the stairs.
Only then did he leave the sight of the two of them, and he was finally safe, but as soon as Lin Nan stepped out of the door, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, with a "snap", his shoulder was held by a big hand.
"Boy, wait a minute. A very majestic voice came from behind, which startled Lin Nan, Lin Nan's hurried figure was stopped by the man, Lin Nan looked back, but it was two people in uniform, it looked like it should be an official errand, Lin Nan couldn't help but be surprised, and then turned his head to look at the store, the little two stood at the top of the stairs, looking at Lin Nan, Lin Nan probably understood what was going on.
To say that the consciousness of the people in this peaceful and prosperous era is strong, as soon as they feel that there are suspicious characters, they will report to the yamen, but the second little man in this shop is too insidious, wait for Lin Nan to finish eating, pay the bill, and then call someone to arrest Lin Nan, and thank Lin Nan for rewarding him so much money just now, if Lin Nan was not in a good mood today, he would have asked his family to collect the corpse.
But then again, with Lin Nan's appearance as a child, what kind of case can he do, Lin Nan thought secretly: "Shouldn't I think of myself as a pickpocket." "I can't help but spin my brain crazy, the most important thing now is to get out.
The two officials took Lin Nan to an alley next to the hotel, and to be honest, Lin Nan wanted to knock down the two and run away, but he felt that the matter would be too big and it would be easier to make mistakes, so Lin Nan didn't make a move, and the one who looked like the head spoke: "Boy, who are you? What about your parents? Why are you wandering on the street? Where did you get so much money?" Lin Nan was secretly happy, if he interrogated on the street, it would be troublesome to attract Li Ran and Wang Feng, fortunately in this small alley, Lin Nan stood up and replied casually: " I'm from the capital, my father is a carpenter, and he sent me to the workshop to do chores last month, and I was paid yesterday, so I came out to play today. ”
"Are you alone?" The two men had heard the name of the workshop, but obviously didn't believe Lin Nan very much, and asked Lin Nan again: "And where did the jade pendant in your arms come from, did it steal?" Damn, it must have been when he paid the money just now, the shopkeeper must have seen the jade pendant, a silver ingot is not too unusual, but a piece of beautiful jade is suspicious, no wonder he finally looked at Lin Nan with a sense of meaning.
"Of course not," Lin Nanning waved his hand in a dangerous manner and replied, "It was given to you by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." Hearing that it was related to the prince, the two officials didn't dare to make a mistake, and gave up the idea of searching Lin Nan's body, and the two of them exchanged words for a while, and decided to escort Lin Nan back to the workshop to testify in person.
Lin Nan had no choice, so he had to lead the two officials to the workshop according to his general impression, which was better than being sent to the government for interrogation.
The three of them walked on the road, it was still more conspicuous, fortunately no one recognized Lin Nan on the road, Lin Nan lowered his head and thought of a plan one by one, but it didn't work, Lin Nan even thought of luring them back to the workshop and then letting the guards help Lin Nan extinguish the poisonous trick, but looking back at the two tolerances, they didn't bully people, and they were polite to Lin Nan, plus Lin Nan was in a good mood today, Lin Nan still couldn't do such a vicious thing for such a trivial matter.
In the end, Lin Nan decided to get rid of them on the road and run back to the workshop, but he must not use light work, otherwise he will be suspected and it will be troublesome to track them down.
After walking for a while, you can already see the familiar gate from a distance, there are not many passers-by here, Lin Nan peeked at the two officials who were already a little lax, and suddenly pointed to the left, and said strangely: "Hey, what is that?" (To be continued.) )
