Lin Bining and they arrived at Hualing in the evening of the third day, and Peng Yue set up a carriage and found a clean inn and asked for two rooms.
There are no towns along the road, they all stay in the village at night, Lin Bining hasn't taken a good bath since she went out, so she asked Xiao Er to send hot water and scrub it vigorously when she came to the inn.
After she finished bathing, she sat on the inn bed and wiped her hair, stepped on the solid floor with her feet, and sighed softly, it was really hard to walk! Although the carriage was covered with thick mattresses, and it was very tiring to sit for so long, fortunately, they had plenty of time and did not hurry to hurry, otherwise her pampered body would not have been shattered.
Without a maid to accompany her, Lin Bining made up for her hair-combing skills before setting off, and was finally able to comb a bun.
Looking at the blurry bronze mirror in the room, she checked left and right, and after confirming that it was done, she went downstairs to the lobby to find Peng Yue and Shi Jian.
The sword waited for a long time, and finally saw Lin Bi condensing down, and hurriedly beckoned to her: "Young master, here." ”
Lin Bining walked over and sat down, saw that he was the only one, and asked, "What about Peng Yue?" ”
"Brother Peng went to buy snacks, let's order first." After smelling the smell of rice for so long, Shi Jian was already hungry, and looked at Lin Bining with a blank eye.
Lin Bining smiled and asked Xiao Er to recommend a few dishes, and when the dishes were ready, Peng Yue also came back, holding a big bowl in his hand, and he could smell the sour smell from afar.
"Young master, this is the bowl of Hualing, I tasted it when I passed through here with the master, it was sour and spicy and delicious, and I couldn't help but eat it every time I went to Hualing." Peng Yue saw Lin Bining looking at the bowl curiously, knowing that she had never eaten this thing, "Young Master, do you want to taste it too?" ”
Lin Bining nodded, Peng Yue beckoned the store to ask for chopsticks and bowls, and used clean chopsticks to pluck some into the bowl and moved them to Lin Bining.
It looked like it should be pasta, light gray, not like what she usually eats, she picked up a piece, like a willow leaf, and the momentum of vinegar and garlic choked her several times, and she drank several sips of water before pressing it.
The homeland of the Lin family was originally Longxuan, Lin Wenliang and Mrs. Ning like light and tender, salty and slightly sweet dishes, and they are not used to eating northern dishes after arriving in Shangdu.
Peng Yuexin said: "The young master is pampered, I'm afraid I can't get used to eating this folk delicacy, and the children of rich families have a lot of things!" ”
Although he didn't look down on the other party's appearance that was more delicate than a woman, he knew that he was just a servant, and he was afraid that the other party would have a problem eating, so he hurriedly reached out to take back the bowl and said, "Young master, you are okay, I forgot that the young master is not used to eating this." ”
Lin Bining waved her hand, took another bite and said, "It's okay, although this thing is not used to eating, it is also very delicious." ”
This thing is spicy at first, and after eating it, the abdomen is warm, like a slow roast over a small fire, and the whole body is comfortable.
After she finished eating a small bowl, Peng Yue and Shi Jian over there were scrambling for the last small point, Lin Bining smiled slightly, and said, "We still have to stay here for a day or two, and we will buy more next time." ”
Peng Yue felt that it was really disgraceful for him to grab food from an adult and a child, coughed, pushed the big bowl to the side, and said generously: "Eat, eat, give it to you." ”
The sword shouted in joy and held the bowl in front of him like a calf.
Lin Bining called Xiao Er out loud and asked with a smile, "Dare to ask Little Second Brother, what is this bowl made of?" It is very different from ordinary pasta. ”
Xiao Er smiled proudly: "This thing is made of local specialty buckwheat, the buckwheat kernel needs to be infiltrated and rolled with water, gradually add water, mixed into a paste, and then filter with fine yarn to remove the slag, the consistency is appropriate to hang the spoon, and then put the powder paste into the bowl, steam it over a hot fire and let it cool, after it comes out of the bowl, cut it into thin slices and add jujube vinegar, garlic juice, Sichuan pepper and other sauces, hot and cold food. ”
"Smelling this fragrance, it is extraordinarily sour, spicy and fragrant, the guest officer bought the bowl of Zhou Ji's house in the east of the city, his family is an ancestral craft, and he is objectively knowledgeable." In the end, Xiao Er didn't forget to pat Lin Bining's ass.
"The little second brother is a local, I want to ask you a few things." Lin Bining smiled and took out a grain of broken silver and put it on the table.
Xiao Er took the silver with a smile and said, "Guest officer, you are the right person, there is nothing I don't know about this Hualing." ”
"Do you know Shen Chenghui of the Weishun Dart Bureau?" Lin Bining took a sip of tea, the tea in the inn was boiled in a cauldron of broken tea leaves, where can the tongue that is used to drinking good tea on weekdays drink, a bitter taste, she frowned a little, and put down the cup.
"Weishun Dart Bureau knows it, go out of the small shop to the right and go to the end, the largest courtyard is. This is the No. 1 dart game in Hualing, and the guest officer must be right to find him if he is holding a dart. I know all the dart masters there, but I haven't heard of Shen Chenghui as you said. Guest officer, what kind of person are you looking for, if it is someone from the Weishun Dart Bureau, I must know it. ”
Lin Bining was a little disappointed after hearing this, how did she know what the other party looked like, Zhen Mosi hadn't been in contact with Shen Chenghui for many years, maybe the other party had already left the Weishun Dart Game. Regardless of the real situation, you can find out by asking the dart board tomorrow.
"Maybe I misremembered my name, I'll ask you when I remember. Does the second brother know who is the most famous incense shop in the city, and where is it? "The fragrance materials and incense products are different from place to place, and she will not let go of this opportunity to see.
"As for the incense shop, the Xu Ji incense shop two blocks away is the most famous, and the one with the largest store is." Xiao Er sighed twice, "His family's incense products can only be used by people like the guest officer, I heard that the cheapest incense products in it cost five taels of silver, and people like us can't earn so much money in a year." This thing can't be eaten, and it can't be used, that is, it smells very good. ”
She smiled: "There is little brother Lao who answered for me." ”
Five taels of silver is the price of the Lin family's medium-grade incense, and the cheapest of the Xu family is so high, Lin Bining is very interested in taking a look.
Most of the rich guest officials that the little second brother has seen are arrogant, and it is really rare to be so kind and generous, so he grinned and said: "No thanks, no thanks, what else do the guest officers want to know, just come and ask me." ”
A few people rested for one night, and the next morning, under the strong recommendation of Xiao Er, they ate the most authentic donkey meat, the skin is yellow and crispy, the donkey meat inside is very fine and soft, and the taste is fragrant and strong, but the donkey meat is slightly oily, Lin Bining is a little greasy after eating half of it, Peng Yue and Shi Jian are happy.
After breakfast, the group went straight to the Weishun dart game.
