Chapter 20 The body of the beast will move 2
Although he ran out, Lin Long was always uneasy in his heart. Even if she tricked the two into the trap, she didn't know if there would be barbs in the trap that would further hurt the beast, and even if there were, it would only delay their actions temporarily, and they would still have to find them sooner or later.
Should I go home?" she thought to herself.
People are intertwined and inextricably linked, and when something happens, they will sit down and uproot the nine tribes, so as to stabilize their authority and play a repressive role, which is really unpleasant. Threatening them in a family way that no one can avoid is far more evil than ordinary people. However, since this method exists, it will never be eliminated, but will become more and more intense, and hundreds of tricks will be used, and while dealing with others in this way, they will always be worried about their own safety.
Unless one is ruthless or lonely.
It's a dangerous thing to rely on. Her father was worried about her, she understood, but at the moment it was very dangerous, if she went home and those two people caught up, her smell would be stained all the way, and her father would definitely suffer.
As soon as she thought of this, she changed her attention, worried that she would go with her father if she was anxious, and she didn't believe that her father, a person who could only heal, and was beaten every day, could protect herself, but it was very likely that she would be innocently killed in front of her, and the result was still the same.
It's okay to be on your own.
Of course, she couldn't rely on herself, and the small bottle of medicine she used for self-defense had run out. It works well, but it can't resist its short effect - in less than a quarter of an hour, the smell will dissipate, after all, it is something that is used for short-term escape. They will still catch up - if they see Wang Liefeng, then say otherwise.
Thinking of Wang Liefeng, on the cold and noisy avenue, Lin Long couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
If it is a dream to meet General Wang, then this may be the price she has to pay.
This price is inevitably too heavy, why did she have to give everything she had when she saw Wang Liefeng once, and let herself fall into a desperate situation.
I'd rather never see him or save him, he will forget her if he is saved, it's useless if she is caught, and in the end she will be killed because she has no use value, it's really nosy and suffering.
She decided to have a good meal before she died.
The restaurant is also a place with a strong aroma, the aroma of wine and coriander is soaring, and it is a pair of gentle and tough hands - maybe it can protect her for a while.
She raised her eyes, Fengle Building was not far away. She looked down and rummaged through her purse, a small heavy one, which was a little pocket flower given by her father every day, she had no friends to make in her living environment, and she temporarily lost interest in food, so she saved for a long time, and there was only a small piece of broken silver that took up a corner, and she had accumulated half a bag so far.
However, when she clocked in her purse, she found that there was something more in it. She looked down strangely and flipped over it, picking up a small golden leaf.
The whole leaf is shaped like the palm of a hand, like the spread fins of a fish, like the round tail of a squirrel. The leaves are so finely crafted that even the veins are slender and long, just like the real thing. It was heavy to pick up, and I don't know how much more expensive it was than broken silver and copper coins.
Lin Long was really taken aback. She had only seen such valuable things when she was very young, when her family was still well-off, and it was the patient's family who came to her father with valuable things and begged him to do his best to save people. This is a matter of no choice, so pray with priceless treasures.
Lin Long thought that Wang Liefeng had accidentally fallen out. She flipped down again and saw another golden leaf.
She reacted that this was something that Wang Liefeng brought with her as a money envoy. Gold and silver are not often circulated in the market, most of the time they are cast into various utensils to reward their subordinates or collect, such as gold melon seeds and gold leaves, silver is more common, turned into silver ingots, different shapes.
Wang Liefeng's is naturally in the shape of a maple leaf. It is also intentional to make such a unique and exclusive appearance.
I don't know when it was stuffed for her.
But that's fine. Originally, she was worried that she could only drink free tea and eat the cheapest side dishes when she went to Fengle Building, and her last savings in life might only be enough for this happiness, if she had to go to Fengle Building. This is also a helpless thing.
I really didn't expect to be able to make extra money. Since this is the case, she is not polite, and walks straight towards Fengle Building.
"Girl, here's our recipe. - What do you order?"
Lin Long sat at the small table in the corner of the third floor, and the guy asked her if he had a match.
This is a splendid restaurant. There were a table full of people around, Lin Long didn't expect that it would be overcrowded even at noon, and the stage team was also diligent, and they were babbling on the stage at noon. The tables and chairs are all made of mahogany, a deep, calm color that adds a touch of luxury to this large hall.
"I'm going to- wait. Lin Long glanced up at the guy, lowered his head again, and went to rummage through his purse, "Are you a girl?"
Under the man's hat was a beautiful and fair face, and he was really a young and beautiful woman. She smiled briefly and said, "This is the first time the little girl has come here, right? It was like that more than ten years ago. At that time, an adult came to us and said that Fengle Lou is good, it is the ultimate beauty, but it is a pity that a few guys are too vulgar and unsightly, if you change to a woman, it will really be like a fairyland. Since then, our female buddies have increased by almost half, and they are available throughout the process if needed. You can do anything, as long as the guest officers are happy. Ah, if the girl has any special hobbies, it's not impossible. ”
Lin Long understood most of it when she heard it, but when the guy said the last sentence, she still blushed her ears, shook her head desperately and said, "No, no, I just want to come and have a meal." ”
"Yes, there aren't many people who come to eat now. The man said, "Little girl, we're going to pay the bill before serving, do you know?"
"Ah, is that so?" Lin Long said, "I just saw a person who finished eating and then paying." ”
The man said, "That's a difference between men and women, that's our rule." ”
Lin Long smiled: "I'm afraid it's specially formulated for me temporarily, right?"
The guy said, "You haven't been here." ”
Lin Long didn't pay attention to this bad attitude, and said, "According to your best-selling one, let's have two meat and two vegetables." No, three meat and one vegetarian are good, add four side dishes. ”
It's not her money anyway.
"We've got a lot of good sellers—"
Lin Long took out a golden maple leaf from the bag, shook it in front of her eyes, and asked, "Excuse me, how many dollars can one or two pieces of gold be exchanged for?"
"Ah, this, this is, the general......" The man hurriedly covered his mouth, although he was suspicious in his heart, but he also had to salute, "The little woman doesn't know that the adults are coming, and she is really rude, rude!"
Lin Long was shocked by her attitude, to be exact, by the power of money. But she was still a little worried, so she chased: "Can you use it?"
The guy said politely: "Yes, yes! I'll send someone to change it for you!" He called another guy over, made a look, and said in his ear: Go find Ye Zhutou.
"What are you changing?" A young man's voice came from a table next to him, leisurely, without temperature, "You also know the value of this thing, isn't it enough for a table? Since she can take out the gold leaf, does she still care about this change? Xiao Tao, you are always willful, why do you waste the time of the girl, and give her the same calculation." Right. ”
Lin Long saw that the young man was also sitting at a table alone, with good wine and good food in front of him.
His face is cold and handsome, with a pair of good-looking phoenix eyes, his eyebrows are raised upward, and there is a faint sense of oppression at a glance. He was smiling, but there was no warmth in the smile, as if it were a stylized, learned smile—as if he had no such emotion.
should have been grateful, but Lin Long felt a chill when he saw him.
Xu was cold, she thought.
"You're right. Xiao Tao hurriedly said, "The little girl will go and prepare the dishes." ”
After Xiao Tao left, the young man looked at Lin Long with interest: "Are you waiting for someone to eat together?"
"Ah, no. Lin Long shook his head and said, "I'm here alone." ”
"Oh?" said the young man, squinting, "that's weird. ”
It's a strange thing for a woman to go out alone, eating, drinking and having fun alone, it's even more suspicious, and she is not a heroine who walks the rivers and lakes, so in most cases she can't order any expensive dishes, so Xiao Tao's attitude is a little sluggish. However, there is also the possibility of cheating and drinking overlord meals, so it is worth being vigilant. So Xiao Tao kept making things difficult for Lin Long, and she didn't let go until she saw the money.
However, Lin Long is not nervous and rough, but he is usually discriminated against, so he didn't quarrel with her, in order not to affect his mood.
Great, there is not only the aroma of food in Fengle Building, but also the sound of people, and warm as spring. The mixture of these elements is pleasant, it is temporarily safe, and Lin Long forgot for a moment that he was being hunted down in this warm mist.
But the young man thought it was strange. If it is the general's lover, the temper must be bad, it is unstoppable, arrogant and domineering, the woman in the Qinglou has a power, but the girl in front of her seems to be unaware.
Maybe it's a mistake?
He was thinking about what kind of opening statement to use, and Lin Long on the other side had already spoken first: "Don't you like to drink?"
The young man smiled: "How can the girl see it?"
Lin Long said: "Everyone else is good wine with good food, but you poured a cup of tea, which is rare." I've never seen anyone drink tea at the dinner table. Don't you think it's a pity? ”
The young man smiled: "I love tea, and I love wine." It's just that the older the wine, the better, but the newer the tea, the better. I heard that the best Yunnan Pu'er Valley flower tea had just arrived here, so I naturally wanted to give it a try. It's not so much that I'm here to eat food, but that I'm here specifically for tea. ”
Lin Long said: "That's not necessarily, as long as the method is right, the old tea can drink the taste of new tea." ”
He looked up in the mist of tea: "You still have research on this?"
Serve the same side dishes. Lin Long took a small bite of the vegetables and put them in his mouth, and said vaguely, "It's not a research, it's just that my family happens to produce tea there, and when it comes to the picking season, I went over to help and understood a little." ”
- Not Miss Qianjin, not even a local resident of Bianjing?
He was becoming more and more confused.
Lin Long has been in Bianjing for so long, but he doesn't know much about the local famous scenery. It is no wonder that her life is narrow, she is filled with affairs every day, and in the boredom that repeats day after day, people gradually become lazy - physical laziness, she knows that long-term immobility will be scrapped, but she can't, she always finds a random reason to comfort herself: let's go around again when I have time.
Unexpectedly, this opportunity would soon be gone.
Every quarter of an hour she spent had to sigh that she had escaped a quarter of an hour, and in the blink of an eye she regretted that she hadn't enjoyed the last moment.
Maybe this upcoming dish will not be eaten in time - can it comfort her.
What could it be?
"Come on—sweet and sour soft fish baked noodles! Be careful, girl!"
Hearing the sound of "be careful", Lin Long turned his head to look, only to see a large plate of jujube-red vegetables slammed on the table, and the dish burst out with an extremely fragrant sweet and sour atmosphere.
In the dish is a huge fat carp, poured with crystalline and slightly condensed juice, and the fish is inextricably covered with a layer of dragon whisker noodles, like a crystal half of a silkworm cocoon.
Lin Long is a southern girl, she can't eat noodles very well, and after seeing these many miles of dragon beard noodles, her brows furrowed. Who would have thought that this might be the last dish that I couldn't like myself, and everything was really unsatisfactory. With a straight face, she tapped the table with her chopsticks in a bored manner, and then carefully moved the dragon's beard noodles to the sides with the chopsticks.
If you can't eat noodles, don't want it.
The young man looked at her with interest. Seeing that she moved her noodles away angrily, she smiled and asked, "Don't you like to eat?"
Lin Long didn't expect someone to look at him, "Ah", raised his head a little embarrassedly, stopped chopsticks and said, "I don't like to eat noodles." ”
"That's right. Are you a Southerner?"
"Yes. ”
Childe smiled: "I went to Jiangnan once, and it was a good place. The scenery is very good, the girls are also very good, and the food is very exquisite. If you're close to Lin'an, you might think this dish is very similar to your West Lake vinegar fish, right?"
Lin Long nodded and sighed: "I've been waiting for a long time, but what came up was such a familiar dish, maybe he really wanted to call me back ......"
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, and Childe didn't ask much, looked at his tea, and said, "When I saw the vinegar fish in West Lake, I felt the same way you did." However, when I tasted them, I found that they were only slightly similar in materials, but in fact they were very different - each with its own merits, and they were all excellent. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. ”
Lin Long said listlessly: "Really?"
She picked up the chopsticks again, poked into the belly of the fish, turned out a piece of white and tender meat, rolled in the soup, stained with crimson all over the body, put it in the mouth, tenderly turned into a puddle, and had a distinct texture, sweet and sour, salty and fresh appeared successively, the meat slid away in the mouth, like a fresh carp splashing over and over, flexible and soft, with a warm and sweet meaning, heavy and melting, sharp and not greasy, really different from the gentle West Lake vinegar fish.
This meal can come to the spirit, Lin Long seems to be refreshed, as if he is alive again. She was happy and embarrassed to say, so she smiled gratefully at the boy at the opposite table and said, "If you hadn't said more, I really wouldn't have touched it." ”
He laughed, "yes." The preference is your own, the dish is innocent, and you can only know whether it is good or not if you have tasted it, and you can't judge anything by feeling. This is a famous dish in Bianjing, which is cooked with carp as raw materials, and the best Yellow River carp is selected as raw materials in Fengle Building. The reason why the carp in the flowing water of the Yellow River is selected is that its meat is pure, tender and fat. It has a gorgeous body, its mouth is light red, and the scales on both sides are shining, so it is also called the golden Yellow River carp. Every morning, someone catches it, and when you order, it's still alive. After that, the fish is scaled and dug out of the gills, opened from the outside of the fish's abdomen, took out the internal organs, avoided the bitter gall, washed it, and used a slope knife to dissolve the two sides of the fish into a ridge pattern, and fried it thoroughly in hot oil. When frying fish, you need to pour hot oil on the fish with a spoon and fry it several times to fry the fish thoroughly. At this time, mix an appropriate amount of sugar, balsamic vinegar, minced ginger, cooking wine, and salt into the water, add water thickener, reduce the juice over low heat, wait until the oil and sweet and sour sauce are all fused, and then put in the fried fish to thicken, and use a spoon to pry the soup to the fish to make it taste evenly. In this way, a plate of famous dishes is made. ”
Xiao Tao came over to close the dishes, sneered at the young man dissatisfiedly, and said with a few plates half complaining and half coquettish: "This is the secret of Fengle Building, our chef's specialty." What you told you quietly, why did you turn your head and tell this girl? As soon as your big mouth spreads, it won't be long before Fengle Lou will go out of business!"
Lin Long raised his head and was slightly surprised: "Lord Wang?"
The young man said: "Xiao Tao, you still say that I have a big mouth, I think your mouth can't hold the wind!"
Xiao Tao sneered: "Lord Wang, what are you talking about! Who in Bianjing City doesn't know your name, but she just happens to don't know." It's really interesting. ”
"Red Braised ......"
Xiao Tao turned around and almost knocked down the little guy who brought the dish, and the soup spilled a little bit out. Both of them were startled, and the little guy hurriedly put the dishes on the table, turned his head and bowed to Xiao Tao: "Sister Tao, it's a little stupid, I accidentally bumped into you, and the little instep soiled your shoes, go back and punish yourself with twenty slaps!"
Xiao Tao snorted and walked in the other direction. The little girl looked at Xiao Tao who was far away, and then at Lin Long, the two ends were not people, so he had to apologize from now: "I'm sorry girl, I couldn't let you eat happily." Why don't I ask someone to make a new plate for you?"
Lin Long said: "No need, I didn't knock it over, why am I angry?"
"Oh, thank you so much, girl. Sister Tao said just now that you are a general...... Friends of the general, we are still trembling for fear of being killed if we don't do well!"
Lin Long smiled helplessly: "That's it." I don't know who you're talking about. ”
It doesn't seem like a good thing to say that. But Lin Long didn't want to explain.
The little guy nodded and said, "What are you laughing at!" while walking away with gratitude and relief.
The young man smiled good-naturedly: "Xiao Tao is not very happy today, which makes everyone nervous." Leave her alone, that's what she is. However, she didn't seem to dare to really mess with me. ”
Lin Long was about to pick up vegetables, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Are you really the prince?"
"That's it for now. ”
"For now?"
Lin Long was about to say something, but the young man said, "Speaking of which, girl, do you really only eat fish and not noodles?"
Hearing what he said, he smiled bitterly: "I listened to you eat fish, I like fish, but I really don't like to eat noodles, noodles are always noodles, is it possible that it will be beyond my imagination?"
The young man said with a smile: "Dragon beard noodles are the essence of this dish, it can be said that 'flying down three thousand feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days', if you don't eat it, it will be a pity." ”
Lin Long sighed: "Okay, okay." Dragon beard noodles, after all, are not real dragons. ”
She suddenly shuddered, and suddenly raised her head, and found that the boy was staring at her viciously—his eyes were extremely vicious, like a fierce ghost rakshasa, and his icy gaze almost dragged people to hell, and for a moment it seemed that dark clouds were crushing the city, destroying and decaying, and the situation was so terrible that she could not move.
Lin Long closed his eyes in a trance and rubbed them, and when he opened his eyes again, that feeling disappeared. And the young man's eyes when he looked at him couldn't be more gentle and kind.
- But did anything happen in the meantime?
Is that a hallucination, or something else?
"What's wrong?" asked the young man with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Long shook his head: "Maybe I'm tired." ”
She began to break out in a cold sweat and looked at the door from time to time, repeatedly checking that no one was coming.
Is anyone coming?
"You've been nervous, from the moment you came in. The young man said, "Is there something, something terrible, that has happened?"
When talking about "terrible things", Lin Long clearly heard the strange excitement and expectation in his tone.
I can't take care of it. She decided to save herself and give it a try.
"Maybe, maybe?" Lin Long said, "Maybe you can help me next?"
She saw him squint: "How do you want me to help?"
So she said, "Save my life." ”
As he spoke, he heard a sudden scream coming from the door!
The scream was sharp, poignant, delicate, and familiar—
It's Momo's scream!
Xiao Tao is a keen person, and she moves around a lot, and she is aware of the abnormality of the environment, and she is much faster than the people who eat here.
It's just that this kind of fast is not a good thing, it is bad at it, and it will be the first to be the goal!
So, when the people on the stage sang to the highest point, raised their hands and pointed to the door, and when the people turned their heads to look at it in unison, they saw that the little peach was falling down, and a blood-red flower bloomed in its mouth, and in the depths of the bright red stamen was the source of the splash.
This method doesn't seem to be good, because the rest of the people, after Xiao Tao was silenced, and it was permanent, all of them exclaimed-
At that moment, Xiao Tao's tongue was cut out!
For a while, the crowd was in chaos, and it was not terrible to run and wail!
Lin Long stood up suddenly, and the dishes and chopsticks were touched by her under the table, making a loud sound, clanging, and rolling with a gurgling sound, which was very miserable.
She stumbled backwards, not knowing where to go.
As soon as she turned her head, the young boy was still sitting there, drinking tea calmly.
"Who is so bold as to dare to hurt people in Fengle Building. He said lightly, "Unruly is really a headache." However, it's also strange that the person at the door didn't close it well, and actually let in a person who was being hunted and killed, and didn't feel abnormal. Anyway, this time it's their fault. ”
Lin Long said in a trembling voice, "Can you save me?"
He smiled and poured himself a cup of tea, moving unhurriedly.
"Unfortunately, I never save people...... he said quietly, "but I hate people who bother me." ”
"Here, here, here!"
With red eyes, the dog swooped down almost screaming, and fluttered right behind.
The two of them jumped over jubilantly, two terrible beasts.
"Wait, wait!" called out, "There seem to be familiar people here!"
"What's the matter with me, we just need to arrest the people and hand them over, and we'll talk about it next time!" Sniff's expression was crazy, "If you think the trap can trap us, little girl, maybe you really have some misunderstanding about martial arts-"
He found Lin Long's location, and his saliva flew over: "Here-"
Brush!
His screams turned into screams!
A lid is embedded in the wall!
His nose was sliced off by a cup lid and was dripping with blood!
Shocked, he looked to the side, this one was unbelievable, he was so frightened that he was urinating, kowtowing like a shelf, two times and five times, he couldn't count how many times he kowtowed before he dared to speak-
"His Royal Highness King Shen, we came to arrest this woman at the order, but we inadvertently interrupted your tea, how offended, please forgive us a lot and let us go - His Royal Highness King Shen, spare your life!"
