CHAPTER XXVI
In the twenty-third year of Emperor Yin, when the first carp jumped out of the cold lake, Shao Suyi, who had reached the age of sixteen, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally waited for the day when the valley was fixed every month. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Although in the past eight years, Shao Suyi has studied hard and practiced hard, and his martial arts have improved rapidly, but Liuyin and Ning Xilou still found various reasons and still did not allow him to return to the imperial capital. It doesn't make sense to reason with these two people, and he can't beat them, so Shao Suyi has no choice but to continue to stay in Shaohua Valley obediently, and only go out of the valley at the beginning of each month to the nearby Heyin City or the branches of the Jingyao Society in other surrounding towns to check the accounts of various places that month.
Because it has long been a practice to go out of the valley at the beginning of the month, Shao Suyi does not have to say hello to Liuyin again, and when the sky is still slightly bright, he went to Xianlin Village outside the valley to find his stored horses, and flew towards Xuzhou City in the south of Shaohua Valley.
When Shao Suxuan, who had hurried all the way, arrived in the city, it was already past midnight, and the voices of the vendors and shopkeepers on the street who were soliciting customers came and went, as if even the cold air of early spring had dissipated. Shao Suyi, who was walking leisurely on a horse, took a deep breath, and his nose was suddenly occupied by the aroma of food, which made him hungry immediately become ten, and he couldn't help but stop and buy some food.
"Young Master!"
Shao Suxuan, who had a large handful of all kinds of snacks in his hand, just turned the corner of the street, and Qin Xi, who had been waiting in front of the door, rushed over. "Hey, my young master, you've arrived. Young Master Zhou has been waiting for a long time, and you still have the heart to hang out here. Qin Xi said as he took the reins from Shao Suyi's hand, and while dragging him into the restaurant, he chattered endlessly about some recent major events in Jingyaohui.
This Qin Xi and his brother Mo Xi were orphans, and when they were children, they were almost sold into the Men's Wind Pavilion by traffickers, but fortunately they were rescued by Shao Suhui and Feng Yinran, so they stayed in the Feng family and became the scholars of Shao Suhui and Feng Yinran respectively. Later, Shao Suhui was taken by Liuyin to the Bingxue Shaohua Valley in northern Xinjiang, and Qin Xi followed, staying in several towns outside the valley, running errands for Shao Suhui to deliver messages and take care of some simple business of Jingyaohui.
After receiving the news that Shao Suhui was in Xuzhou today, Qin Xi rushed over from Heyin City the day before to answer, wanting to take advantage of the time when Young Master Hui came to ask about the headaches in the meeting. So as soon as he saw Shao Suyi at this time, Qin Xi, who was holding back his words, immediately chased after him, for fear of missing the slightest detail.
I don't know if Qin Xi's problem of talking too much is with me, Shao Suyi was dizzy by his chattering, but Qin Xi's mouth was very fast, so that Shao Suyi couldn't even find a chance to interject. "Alright, Qinxi." Quickly took a piece of white sugar cake and blocked Qin Xi's mouth, and Shao Suyi, who finally calmed down, couldn't help but let out a long breath, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after eating." Okay, I'll go find Zhou Dashao, you go down first. He said as he walked briskly up the stairs, leaving him downstairs with a choked slap in the chest and a dry stare.
"Yo, bullying your family again."
As soon as Shao Suxuan pushed open the door of the private room, he heard his friend Zhou Bo, who was leaning on the railing on the second floor, laughing and quipping. Spread his hands to show that he was very innocent, Shao Suyi sat down at the table with ease, picked up the wine glass that Zhou Bo had poured, and drank it all. "Yo, Sister Liu has made new wine?"
"Go aside, is Sister Liu also your name?!" Zhou Bo pretended to be angry, raised his foot and kicked in the direction of Shao Suyi, but the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest. "Today, you are blessed, Liu Mei will cook for me personally. Okay, when I'm not there, I'm not allowed to sneak around to eat. ”
Shao Suyi ate the dishes without raising his head, and responded perfunctorily: "Don't worry, don't bully your friend's wife." Besides, if you don't believe Sister Liu, you have to believe me. ”
"Who doesn't know that the eldest young master has long belonged to him, where can I get into the eyes of the eldest young master with such a vulgar fan." Liu Lianxuan, the tavern owner who came over in person, just heard Shao Suxuan's joke when he entered the door, and couldn't help but glance at Shao Suxuan with a smile, and put the tip of the plate of braised bamboo shoots with pork belly, which Shao Suhui liked to eat in the past, on Zhou Bo's side.
"Sister Lianxuan, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Seeing that Liu Lianxuan put all the dishes on the tray on Zhou Bo's side, Shao Suxuan hurriedly leaned over and said with a smile: "Sister, you are naturally beautiful, and when you look back, you are simply captivating." Who dares to say that you are a vulgar fan, I must make him look good! ”
Liu Lianxuan couldn't hold back her laughter, "Flim tongue, which one is your sister." Saying this, she still personally pushed the tip of the plate of bamboo shoots back in front of Shao Suyi, "I know that you have a bad mouth, and you didn't put garlic." ”
"It's still Sister Lianxuan who is good to me." Shao Suxuan tasted it and immediately praised it. Since I met Zhou Bo a few years ago because of business, and through him I learned about this restaurant run by Liu Lianxuan, Shao Suxuan has been running here every month when he goes out of the valley, just to be able to eat the dishes made by Liu Lianxuan.
Although Shao Suhui was an orphan before the crossing, after all, he lived in China in the 21st century, Sichuan, Lu, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hui, and even if he didn't taste all the famous eight cuisines, at least he had eaten the copycat version. When he came to this strange overhead world, he didn't know if there were seniors who had crossed the realm to contribute, but Shao Suyi had never tasted any dark cuisine. In addition, he grew up in the Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child, and he is used to eating brocade clothes and jade, and then let him eat the dishes made in the usual small restaurant, although he can also fill his stomach, he feels that he lacks the essence of food.
However, this Liu Lianxuan's cooking skills are very good. Any ingredient in her hands seems to be able to turn decay into magic and into a delicacy. In addition, she is beautiful and beautiful, and she is very thoughtful and modest, so there is an endless stream of guests from her Lianxuan Restaurant. Even Shao Suxuan, if it weren't for Zhou Bo's light, if he wanted to come to Lian Xuan for a meal, he would have to book a place half a month in advance. It hurt Shao Suhui to always think about the fox and the fake tiger, and in the name of Jingyao Club, it would be good to buy Lianxuan Restaurant under his own name.
"Out of breath!" Zhou Bo pulled Liu Lianxuan to sit down, and did not forget to take the opportunity to laugh at Shao Suxuan, "Su Xuan, you are the big boss of Jingyao Society, and you are too spineless to bend your waist for a dish." ”
The eye was quick to snatch a piece of fat and thin pork ribs from under Zhou Bo's chopsticks, and Shao Suyi replied seriously: "The ancients said, only food and beauty can not be disappointed." What do you know? ”
Seeing him shaking his head and pretending to be an old pedant, Zhou Bo and Liu Lianxuan were amused by him and laughed, they really thought that Shao Suxuan's sentence was from the book. "Alright, I mean not you." Zhou Bo waved his hand and bowed to the wind. "I'll be back in less than half a year, and when the time comes, remember to call you and come over for a drink together."
"It's been so long this time?" Hearing him get down to business, Shao Suyi put down his chopsticks and filled Zhou Bo's cup. "Are you willing to stay in Lianxuan's sister to keep the empty boudoir alone?"
Because Liu Lianxuan was sitting next to him, Zhou Bo glared at Shao Suxuan and continued: "You also know that my family is doing Wen Yunguo's business, and the small business is not as good as you, so it is natural to run around." After passing this matter, Zhou Bo pulled Shao Suyi and told him a few more words, and asked him to tell Qin Xi, who stayed outside the valley, to help take care of Dianlianxuan Restaurant. Although Shao Suxuan felt that his attitude was a little strange, he also responded one by one.
When he was full of wine and food, Shao Suhui still didn't understand what was strange about Zhou Bo. In the past, he also took caravans to Wenyun Country from time to time, but he was not as verbose as he is today, and he explained so much. And Liu Lianxuan also seems to be preoccupied, which is really weird everywhere.
Shao Suxuan was thinking about things, and a team of fast horses roared away beside him, bringing a whirlwind and blowing dust all over his body. "Your uncle!" After sneezing a few times in a row, Shao Suyi slapped the dust on his body in embarrassment, and almost couldn't help but want to scold the street.
Seeing this, Qin Xi, who had just helped him lead the horse, quickly took a handkerchief and went up to help him wipe his face and hands. "Oh, my young master, you are so good on weekdays, why can't you even avoid the horse team at this time. It was the jockey of the Chu family just now, more is better than less, let's go back to the Chamber of Commerce first. ”
"Bah, bah, bah," Shao Suyi smacked hard, only to feel that his mouth was full of earthy smell, "You said that Fang Cai is a member of the Chu family?" The Chu family of Chu Xia, the richest man in Xuzhou City? ”
"It's the Chu family. Young master, you're not going to seek revenge, are you? Qin Xi slapped the hem of Shao Suyi's clothes vigorously, whether it was an opportunity to "retaliate", only he understood in his heart.
Squinting his eyes, Shao Suyi pulled back his sleeve from Qin Xi's hand, and said with a low smile as he walked: "Next time I do business with the Chu family, I will delay it for half a month, increase the profit by three points, and compensate for my mental loss." ”
