Chapter 43: The Banquet in the Restaurant (II)
The pavilion where Qin Chong and Yin Qianhe are located is not near the market and is relatively quiet. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info outside the window is the courtyard, flowers and bamboos are shaded, and the environment is beautiful. From time to time, there is a breeze that brings in a few wisps of flowers and a few bird songs, which are both pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the heart. The two of them did not say much, but sat quietly like this.
Wu Xiaohu settled the carriage and came in to return to Qin Chong, and Qin Chong motioned for him to sit together.
"Xiaohu, this is Miss Yin's invitation to thank you, you can also sit."
"Hey, okay. Then I'll thank Miss Yin. ”
Yin Qianhe said: "I ordered a cow for you, raw, and you can only leave after eating it later."
Wu Xiaohu grinned, revealing two rows of neat teeth, but there were no tiger teeth.
"I'm called Xiaohu, but I'm not a real tiger, how can I eat raw cow, the girl called me two catties of cooked beef."
"The dish was ordered by your second master, you just have to look for him."
"The second master doesn't know how to order raw beef, the girl is tricking me. Besides, this is not a meat market, and raw meat is not sold. ”
Yin Qianhe smiled: "Okay." So do you drink or not? We didn't order any wine. ”
Qin Chong said: "I don't like to drink, if you want to drink, please do it yourself."
Yin Qianhe asked Wu Xiaohu again: "Do you know what good wine is in this restaurant?" He doesn't drink, so let's have some. ”
Wu Xiaohu said: "You love to drink so much? If you get drunk again, we'll have to send you back again. ”
"It's okay, you won't get drunk after a few taels of this kind of wine." Yin Qianhe patted his chest and promised.
"The Thousand Days of Spring and Immortal Alcohol here are both good wines, which one do the girls want to drink?"
Yin Qianhe thought for a while and said, "Since they are all good wines, how about they each have some?"
"The girl is the east, of course the girl is in charge, and I will accompany you."
"Okay."
Yin Qianhe went out to shout for wine as soon as he finished speaking. She wanted to try it, but she was afraid that the wine would be too expensive, so she asked the guy about the price before ordering it. Fortunately, although it was more expensive than the Qionghua brew she drank before, it was still acceptable, so she didn't go bankrupt from drinking, so she ordered half a catty of each with peace of mind.
When she walked to the door of her pavilion, it was just as the next door had finished eating, and someone came out to pay.
She heard the man say, "Seventy-eight taels of silver."
Yin Qianhe was shocked when he heard this, seventy-eight taels of silver for a meal, enough for how many people to eat! But then only five or six people came out of the pavilion, all of them pot-bellied old men, and I don't know what they ate.
According to their per capita standard, she has to eat thirty or forty taels here. No, she didn't have that much money with her, and it would be funny if she didn't have enough money at checkout.
She returned to her seat apprehensively.
Wu Xiaohu saw that her face was worried, so he asked, "No wine?"
"Huh? Oh no. I ordered half a pound of wine. Is it enough? ”
"Enough is enough, there are still things to do, you can't drink too much."
After a while, the wine came first. The cooker held a tray in one hand, on which were two silver flasks and glasses; In the other hand he held a bucket of hot water. He first placed his things on the table next to him, then dipped the flask into the hot water bucket and waited for the wine to be hot before serving the flask and glass.
Wu Xiaohu picked up one of the pots of wine, poured a glass and handed it to Yin Qianhe.
Yin Qianhe took the wine glass and said, "I should respect you for this cup." Come, strong man, dry this wine. ”
The two of them put Qin Zhong aside and drank it to themselves. Qin Chong just looked at them indifferently.
Yin Qianhe put down two glasses of stomach, and felt comfortable in his stomach, and threw away all the money and enjoyed the wine.
She saw that Qin Chong was sitting alone and silent, very bored, so she said: "Second Master Qin, how boring it is for you to sit alone, why don't you have two cups."
Qin smiled gently, and pushed back, "Thank you, girl." I really don't drink it, you just have a good time. ”
Yin Qianhe left him alone.
As they drank, Qin Chonghu asked again, "How did the girl know the prince of Dingwang?"
"Who is the prince of Dingwang? I don't know. Yin Qianhe asked strangely.
Wu Xiaohu said: "Isn't it the one who did it with me, you seem to be very familiar with him."
Yin Qianhe choked on wine and coughed for a long time before saying, "You mean that Song Yunchen?" Is he the prince of Dingwang? ”
Wu Xiaohu said: "You don't know?"
Yin Qianhe shook his head like grass in the wind, "I don't know at all." The prince should just be a title or something, so does he have any official position? Is the right big? Is his father untouchable? ”
Qin Chongdao: "Although he himself has no official position, there are many powerful people who want to slap him. Moreover, his father, King Ding, was also an important minister in the court. ”
After hearing this, Yin Qianhe held his head in his hands and made a frightened expression, "Ah, it's over." I have to scold him every time I see him, and I beat him today, will he retaliate against me? ”
Qin Chong said: "I don't think his attitude towards you is like he wants to take revenge on you."
"That's not for sure. Alas, Brother Little Tiger, then how dare you fight with her? ”
Wu Xiaohu straightened his chest and said: "As long as the person who wants to move the second master is my Wu Xiaohu's enemy, I don't care if he is the prince or the prince."
Yin Qianhe gave a thumbs up, "Hehe, you're really good." Then he turned his head and asked Qin Chong, "Second Master Qin, then how did you make an enmity with him?" Do you have some hidden identity? ”
"Qin is alone, but he is a civilian, how can he hide his identity. I had some misunderstanding and helplessness with him. ”
"Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't you unravel it?"
"Some misunderstandings become dead knots when they are deep, and it is not easy to untie them. What's more, I'm afraid that I don't want to untie the knot. ”
"Like you do to the interpreters?"
Qin Chong was stunned, "What does this matter have to do with Miss Jieyu?" ”
"I'm talking about something else. Exactly, speaking of which, with all due respect, I would venture to ask, what is your attitude towards interpretation? Do you, like other men, see her only as a courtesan? ”
"It's not."
"What's that?"
Just as he was talking about the important point, he was interrupted by the guy who served the food.
The guy had a bowl in his left hand and a vegetable plate in his right hand, and after he brought it in, he also put it on a few tables, which was no different from serving wine. He first set up a set of delicate silver bowls and chopsticks for each of them, and then passed the dishes one by one.
"Barilla soup, lamb gizzard with milk cook, lotus duck, pig and sheep purse, rotary cut lettuce ......"
The guy reported the food while serving, and then retreated.
Wu Xiaohu couldn't wait to say: "Second master, girl, don't talk about those unhappy things, let's have dinner."
The meals were served, Yin Qianhe didn't want to say more, so he said, "Don't talk about it, let's move the chopsticks."
The three of them stopped talking, each gave a salute, and moved his chopsticks to eat.
Yin Qianhe looked at the dining utensils and wine utensils on the table, all of which were exquisite carved silverware, which may be much more expensive than this meal, which shows the grade of this restaurant, and the reception is probably also some dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. And she came here to be extravagant, I don't know how long it will cost their family to eat, it's a little embarrassing to think about it.
After eating, Yin Qianhe took the initiative to go to the guy to pay, and calculated that it was only about five taels of silver. It seems that this Second Master Qin knew that she had no money, so she was merciful when she ordered. There was no need to end embarrassed, and the stone in her heart was put down.
After this experience, she also learned a lesson, she can't invite these rich people to dinner casually in the future. It's not that I'm stingy, but I can't afford it!
