Chapter 365: Another Goal
Although I also thought in my heart, maybe waiting for the teahouse by the stone bridge has the opportunity to wait for the people under my senior brother today.
But what if it's the same as yesterday?
This scenario is not out of the question.
Do you stay in one place and wait continuously, or do you change your goal?
For a while, I was quite conflicted, and I was thinking about it when I changed my outfit in the Qingyin attic, and when I got out of the gate and got into the carriage, I was still weighing it repeatedly in my heart.
The carriage headed towards the west of the city, and almost all of the guards had the ability to drive the carriage, and the one I sent to me today was no exception, and the carriage was extremely stable.
Yuan Bao told me that because there were too many customers and the store in the west of the city was not expanding, the daily supply was limited.
Before the crossing, I often heard that there were people in a place that was crowded.
But where there is a little characteristic decoration, how many shops can have housekeeping dishes, which one is not full of people?
Not to mention waiting for a while, but waiting for two hours for someone willing to wait for a bite to eat!
I thought of a bunch of reasons why I had to go to that store.
Of course, those are excuses.
In the end, it was the will of foodies and the yearning for limited editions that prevailed over the original plan!
The carriage passed by the teahouse and went up the stone bridge all the way.
The coachman controls his speed, and the carriage shuttles through the streets, heading for the busiest street in the west of the city!
Now that I've decided, I put aside the idea of waiting for the rabbit at the café.
At this time, I followed the ingots to the destination, as if I had become a person who came to Suzhou City to play.
Horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets. I lifted a corner curtain and looked out.
Take a good look at the scene of this Suzhou city, and when you get to the north, you won't see a city with a similar style.
My eyes swept over the street scene outside the car window, looking past the tea stall where I had stayed when I first arrived in Suzhou that day. I also saw that there were still a lot of people in line in the Fuyuan Building branch.
Coming out of the east of the city, the carriage made several turns.
Passing by the ready-to-wear shops and pharmacies along the street, I never lowered the curtains, and my eyes always looked at the street scene outside the window.
Try to remember the locations of some of the shops I plan to visit.
Finally arrived at the place that Yuan Bao said.
I still looked out the street through the window and saw that the carriage was parked at the mouth of an alley.
"Childe, it's actually not there yet." Yuan Bao said to me with a smile, "It's just that you can't drive in the alley ahead, so you can only park in a spacious place outside." ”
I nodded. Follow the ingots out of the carriage.
The escort of the car was always silent, he couldn't control where we were going, and he wouldn't ask.
His only duty was to make sure I went out smoothly and safely back to the East House.
Seeing that we had changed our plans, Yuan Bao didn't look for the tools I wanted to use first. Instead, they arrived in an alley. He didn't ask much.
I told him first, it would be too unkind to leave him to watch the car!
One person is also a belt, and two people are also a belt.
Since they all brought ingots to dinner, of course they also brought this guy.
So I talked to Yuan Bao under a tree at the mouth of the alley, and stood there waiting for the guards to park the carriage.
This is a small alley in Suzhou, which is in stark contrast to the noisy and open streets outside.
However, according to Yuanbao, the most lively shops outside are for people who are passing by in a hurry or who don't know Suzhou.
Really good shops are found in places that aren't as lively.
This sounds familiar, but where have I heard it?
After thinking about it, I remembered that this was what an old gentleman had told me after arriving in Suzhou.
Right. That's it!
The place where the guards parked, under the trees not far from the adjacent. There was also a carriage parked with a low-key and luxurious appearance.
Yuan Bao and I looked at each other, and exchanged glances after reading it.
Yuan Bao said to me: "Look at the car of a family in the east of the city, the little one has seen it on the street before." “
I thought the same as him, although I hadn't seen the car, it should be a rich man from a family who came to the alley to patronize the time-honored store.
There is no place to park in the small alley, and I stayed here temporarily.
But people are not as kind as me, because their coachman is sitting in the car blowing the cold wind and waiting
Of course, the most important thing about a good store in the eyes of ingots is taste.
As he waited, he looked at me with a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
Yuan Bao cautiously said tentatively: "Childe, if that store doesn't look so pleasing to the eye, can you get used to it?" ”
As soon as I thought about it, I immediately understood what ingots meant to be pleasing to the eye.
Maybe the shop looked a little shabby, and he was afraid that I would dislike it.
Of course, Yuan Bao didn't know what kind of life I had before, and subconsciously thought that the third young master of his family must have always been the son and brother of brocade clothes and jade food.
I sighed for a while and smiled: "It's okay, it's rare to patronize, the taste is passed, as for the rest of the informality!" ”
Hearing my affirmative answer, Yuan Bao nodded.
He said with a little shyness, "I didn't ask you before, but when I think about it when I come to this place, I'm afraid that Gongzi will blame me." "If Adel knew that Xiao Xiao brought you to this kind of shop, maybe she would have to say it." Yuanbao's eyes changed, and his tone sounded a little depressed.
I comforted him, "Anyway, she didn't come with me, so don't worry about what didn't happen." “
"Yuanbao, don't think of me as a person with the personality of your family's Proud Third Young Master, I'm completely different from him."
Looking over the streets in the distance, I looked at Yuan Bao and whispered: "People with his kind of personality should be rare in the whole Suzhou, and it is difficult to find them with lanterns!" ”
Hearing this, Yuan Bao almost laughed, but felt that it was inappropriate, lowered his head and tried his best to endure it, his body trembled, and those who didn't know thought it was shivering from the cold.
"If you want to laugh, laugh, am I not right?"
I stared at him and said, "Yuanbao, what I said is the truth. This is not the Yuwen family's house, don't be so restrained. "The little one doesn't dare to talk about the third young master behind his back."
"Hey, don't mention that. Can you guarantee that the people at the bottom of the house don't talk about him? It's just secret, I don't dare to face him. ”
"I didn't say he was bad," I continued after a pause, "and he didn't want to be like that. ”
Yuan Bao grinned this time, and I smiled: "I said this in front of him, do you believe it?" ”
"Faith!" Unexpectedly, he immediately replied to me. "The third young master is different from everyone else, what you said, the little one believes it!"
It seems to be weird somewhere! It was said so by ingots!
I looked down and thought about it. The guards stopped the car and walked over to me. "Yuanbao, you lead the way in front." I put aside the thoughts that had flashed through my mind and spoke up
I mentioned it earlier. This place in Suzhou is a bit special.
Because from here. It's kind of like a transitional zone.
Suzhou is the boundary.
After passing here and going northeast, it gradually begins to approach the style of the northland, and the southwest side of Suzhou City is a distinct scene unique to Sealand.
There are people passing through the city of Suzhou, and this is the most lively city before going to the north.
In terms of food, the difference between the two sides is also very large, and Suzhou City just contains some characteristics of the two places.
The store that Yuanbao brought me to today is because of its unique food that attracts so many passers-by from the south to the north!
The three of them formed a single line and slowly walked into the alley.
It's a long, narrow alley where two people walk side by side. The people on the other side couldn't get by.
Therefore, we can only move forward one by one.
There is also a steady stream of pedestrians passing by us.
I looked at the people who were coming from the depths of the alley, most of them with happy expressions on their faces.
Can I understand that the taste of the store recommended by the ingots is passable? "It's here! The front is it. Yuan Bao turned to me and said. Childe, the entrance to the store is small, but the yard is quite spacious. “
Approaching the humble doorway, a rich aroma greets you.
It's really like what Yuan Bao said, like the residence of a family.
Once inside, it was a sight to behold.
The entire courtyard was turned into a place to eat, adding up to about a dozen square tables.
At a glance, the table was almost full!
If I had heard the ingot's description in the carriage at the beginning, I would have been a little skeptical.
Seeing the full number of customers and the booming business here, I completely believe it!
It's really as Yuan Bao said.
At a glance, the attire of those people could be seen that not all of them were the people of Suzhou City, there were people wearing foreign costumes in the middle, and there were even people dressed as business travelers.
The fact that these people can gather here together shows that what Yuan Bao said is true from another angle.
My expectations are growing rapidly.
Normally, there is a waiting table for such a bustling restaurant, but today we were lucky that a table of customers got up and left.
Yuan Bao took me and the guards over and sat down.
The tables were wiped clean, and around the diners, there was the same food on the tables.
Sure enough, it was the one I thought, and I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
A small round cake with a thin and fluffy skin cooked on a pan.
Cut a hole in the cake parallel to the dough and put in the bacon meat.
Pay attention to the meat inside, and be sure to choose the strip meat.
Scrape and wash the water and put it into the pot of wax sauce, the meat skin is facing up, it is placed neatly, and it is stewed with N flavorful seasonings
After the stew, the cured meat is crispy and full of flavor.
Add a bowl of steaming fragrant mutton blood noodle soup, the goat blood is fresh and smooth, without the slightest fishy smell, plus a spoonful of chili oil, you can eat and sweat in winter.
That's right, it's the meat bun I've been thinking about for a long time!
For the first time after the crossing, I had the opportunity to taste this taste that I missed, so when the ingots mentioned it to me, I was intrigued!
As it turned out, Yuanbao's recommendation was not wrong, and the flavor I tasted at this store was no worse than the food I had in mind
After tasting the food in the store, I was a little free, and the guards and ingots ate more than me, and they were still buried in the soup in their bowls.
Invisibly, I always felt a vague look swept over me.
But when I turned my head several times, the gaze disappeared again, and I wondered.
I suspected I was mistaken, so I lowered my head and thought about it.
After a while, that gaze came again, this time I deliberately paid attention to the direction, and suddenly raised my head to look over!
At a table in the corner of the courtyard wall, a stranger was looking at me.
I'm sure the first few times I felt the gaze came from this angle as well.
I saw the stranger clearly.
He frowned, his eyes staring at me for a moment.
That kind of look, as if I was someone he knew, and like something wrong with me caught his attention!
Being looked at like this, I almost felt goosebumps on my back.
I was nervously wondering if I should mention it to the guards at the same table and ask him to glance at the people sitting at the table on the other side of the courtyard wall.
Suddenly that gaze was gone!
Then I heard someone walk out of the courtyard gate.
I didn't even remember what the man looked like, he gave me a bit like the guard that the tsundere boy had assigned to me.
It's hard to remember the face, it belongs to the people who can't be found in the crowd, but the process just now really makes me have some unspeakable doubts.
Thinking of this, I said to Yuanbao: "You try to eat as quickly as possible, after eating, I want to go to the street to see." ”
As soon as I urged me, the two people who were still eating stopped eating, which made me a little embarrassed.
But that scene just now made me feel a little more apprehensive.
I'm afraid that there will be trouble at this time, but my feeling has always been quite good!
I paid, and Yuan Bao and the guard named Ah Lai followed me.
The three of them lined up in the same order as they came and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
My heart still hangs a little because I'm not sure.
When I was about to reach the entrance of the alley, I stopped and turned to the side and said, "Ah Lai, you go first." ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, but immediately walked up to the front.
Well-trained guards are like that, as long as they hear orders, they will always carry them out as soon as possible.
The reason why I switched the order was because I was worried that there would be someone blocking the alley.
The guard reacted faster than I did, and he was able to block it first.
The problem is that this alley is a dead end, there is no way back, and once someone in front of us is chasing us, we don't even have a place to retreat.
With a hint of concern, I reminded the guards at the front, "Be careful at the mouth of the alley. ”
Originally, I could not have said this, but after that, I can be more confident in my heart.
At this time, even the ingots became nervous, and the three of them were silent until they reached the entrance of the alley, but the outside was unexpectedly calm.
There were occasional pedestrians passing by on the street, and some people were coming down on horseback, ready to go into the alley to eat.
Am I feeling wrong?
Either way, we all breathed a sigh of relief.
The guard walked up to me and asked, "Young Master Lin, what was wrong just now?" “
I'm going to talk about the strange guy I saw staring at me while I'm eating in the store.
Hearing this, Yuan Bao and the guards immediately pursed their lips, and their faces changed! (To be continued......)
