Chapter 127 Tea House Commentary
Lan Qiduo's love of eating cloud cakes is almost a well-known thing in the palace, and one day his favorite things may be all over the street, and this subtle mood makes Lan Qiduo a little distracted for a while.
Imagine that the streets will be filled with the smell of cloud cakes, and just imagination will make Lan Qiduo very happy.
"Isn't Majesty a dumpling of purple cabbage? Why did it become a cloud cake again? ”
This news is that Xiao Tuxi hasn't heard it yet, and as soon as she said it, several people who came out casually looked at the shop.
The shopkeeper didn't mind explaining to them because Xiao Tuxi had just given a lot of rewards: "It is said that this cloud cake is what Her Royal Highness the princess likes to eat, and Her Majesty also praised it...... That ......"
"Snow as white as a cloud, as thin as a piece of paper?"
Lan Qiduo added to him empathetically.
The shopkeeper immediately complimented: "Yes, yes, yes!" is still a learned child, but his little brain is stupid and can't remember it for a while. ”
He poured a glass of water for each of the people, and continued: "On that day, it is said that Her Royal Highness the princess praised this cloud cake at the flower viewing banquet. It took a lot of effort for our shopkeeper to get this recipe out of the hands of the proprietress of the fragrant overflowing building, making cloud slice cake, not to mention, since there is this dim sum, it is in short supply. ”
Lan Qiduo looked at the overly sweet pastry on the table and shook his head imperceptibly.
There are many kinds of raw materials for cloud cake, the process is extremely fine, and there are more than ten kinds of main ingredients alone, and each one must be selected to be of the highest quality, and the most high-quality cloud cake is made of zuò. Lan Qiduo has a lot of time, she once went to see the master chef in the kitchen make cloud cakes, and that was an eye-opener.
Let's just say this glutinous rice, to grind off the rice skin, leave the rice heart, when frying the rice is more skillful, one to fry the second to keep the white color, yellow can not be used, especially when grinding the flour to go through the sieve over and over again, to reach the realm of the glutinous rice flour is completed.
The cook also said, "Only the glutinous rice has been picked." The cloud cake can ensure that it does not lose its soft and refined taste, otherwise even if you add more ingredients to it, it will just add a snake to the table!" When he said this, he was slowly confident and arrogant, and Guan Gong knew how proud he was of his craft with this fine Lan Qiduo! And the ingredients he was talking about were walnuts, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts.
Most of the time, Lan Qiduo eats cloud cake made by the master in his own small kitchen. Even Xiangyilou also eats it once in a while. Now I actually saw the cloud cake in this teahouse, probably often come to this teahouse, and some people from Lan Qiduo still opened their mouths and said kindly: "I advise you not to continue to sell this cloud cake!" Otherwise, it will not be good for the guest to knock on the door! ”
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper was a little stunned, and then said angrily with a red face: "Objectively, why did you say this? ”
There are a few people who do business who like to hear this kind of thing. The shopkeeper immediately retorted: "Our shopkeeper, you go to the neighbors to inquire......"
"Presumptuous! Hugh is rude! ”
The guard who followed out put his hand on the soft sword at his waist, revealing only a little white blade, and the shopkeeper was immediately frightened and silent.
Lan Qiduo stretched out his hand to signal the guards to be calm, and said to the shopkeeper with a pleasant face: "Cloud cake is not easy to make, it doesn't matter if the thing is almost there, but it will not work if it is too bad, some people don't care about you, it is your blessing, but when you meet someone with a bad temper, you will ...... when the time comes."
What will happen then? There is no need for Lan Qiduo to say it clearly, the shopkeeper has already comprehended it by himself!
Lan Qiduo didn't eat the cloud cake, but picked up the top piece with his hand and said, "This is a bit similar to Xiangyilou, but the smell is far from the real one." ”
The shopkeeper also understood at this time that Lan Qiduo was giving them guidance, so he only bowed down deeply and bowed his feet and ran downstairs.
Xiao Tuxi and the others only took advantage of the end of the book review to speak, but they didn't know that their every move was watched by the two big men on the other side of the screen.
One of the deep-eyed and high-nosed men could only see the faint outline of Lan Qiduo through the screen, and he didn't hear what a grunter man was saying in his ear, and when the man was a little louder, he turned back and said in a strange tone, "Here, don't talk dogs." His eyes still didn't let go of Lan Qiduo.
The old man's words were obviously smoother than those of the deep-eyed and high-nosed man: "Does the chief know what they are talking about?" ”
"Oh. I know they say Xiahou Yi. ”
Seeing that he was so careless, the man gritted his teeth and said, "It's this Xiahou Yi who packed so many stones to tempt us to say that it was grain and grass, and we haven't had the upper hand since then. ”
"The upper hand has nothing to do with it, and the dog is weak. If you don't have anything to eat, Daqi can hold on for three years, but Dog Rong can't hold on, this is a protracted battle. ”
He usually speaks briefly. Obviously, Da Qi is not very proficient in what he said.
When the bearded man wanted to say something, he suddenly said: "Daqi man, is he so beautiful?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the place he was pointing, he dimly saw a side face of Lan Qiduo.
But at this time, the little storyteller downstairs began to tell the story: "The little old man knows that everyone is in a hurry, so let's stop gossiping and get down to business." ”
"But it was said that General Xiahou rolled down the cliff with the bandits in his arms, and the people who followed him burst one by one, and cut down the bandits around him to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables, and ran to the edge of the cliff with a sad expression......
Lan Qiduo held his chin, and when he heard the storyteller speak, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say that he was cutting melons and vegetables, if the bandit was so vulnerable, like chopping melons and vegetables, where did he use Xiahou Yi to close the cliff, and his whereabouts were unknown? But that didn't prevent Lan Qiduo from listening to him comment on the story.
The commentary is obviously very popular, as long as it is said that when Xiahou Yi was injured or disappeared, he lowered his voice and shouted angrily, and many people shouted: "Kill the dog!" Kill the dog! ”、
It was Xiao Tuxi who peeled fruit for Lan Qiduo on the side and poured tea and combed her ears to listen to other people's stories, but she had seen Xiahou Yi, and she couldn't help but sigh when she heard these words at this time: "I didn't expect that General Xiahou had suffered so much at the beginning." ”
Lan Qiduo did not answer, although what he said in the book review is a bit exaggerated, but everything is unchanged, Xiahou Yi has never suffered at the beginning, compared to no one knows better than her, who has seen the scars with her own eyes!
Lan Qiduo originally wanted to come out to relax, but wherever he thought of it, he could come out to relax, and he could meet things related to Xiahou Yi. She only had to sigh.
Seeing that it was lunch time after listening to a storytelling, Xiao Tuxi arranged for people to find a clean place to have lunch, and generally everyone would get up and leave at the end of the storytelling, and Lan Qiduo didn't want to crowd people with them. So I just sat there and watched the crowd disperse, intending to go down.
Who thought that when they got up to leave, there were still people with the same thoughts as them, Lan Qiduo and Xiaotu were overjoyed to get out of the screen, and when they looked up, they saw a man with deep eyes and a high nose staring at them.
The man was unusually tall, if Xiahou Yi was the tallest man Lan Qiduo had ever spoken. So this man is as good as Xiahou Yi, and Xiahou Yi is not that handsome, at most it can be described as heroic, this man is different, he has deep eyes and a high nose, tan skin, two dark eyebrows, and is looking at Lan Qiduo with an interested look at him at this time.
Because they are all guests of this teahouse, the well water of the two does not interfere with the river water, and Lan Qiduo just went downstairs as if nothing happened. But the guards who followed her were wary of the man, and their hands were pressed to the soft sword at his waist all the time.
In addition to their high kung fu, they can come to serve Lan Qiduo, and one of the things is that they have been on the battlefield and have seen blood killings.
As soon as they saw this deep-eyed and high-nosed man, they had the feeling of meeting their own kind, how could they not be extremely guarded?
Seeing Lan Qiduo and his party go downstairs, the man with deep eyes and high nose spread out his white teeth and said, "It turned out to be a woman." "It's so much fun! Don't they all say that the women of Daqi are very conservative? Why are there still people who like to wear men's clothes and come to the teahouse? He has not been in Daqi for a long time, but he has seen a lot of ladies and girlfriends, but in fact, he has not seen it, because most of them are wearing veils. All he saw was a pair of eyes.
"Boss ......"
"Chuck Gan, there is no Dog Rong Khan."
"Check ...... Chuck Gan, this woman is not simple, she has guards by her side. And those two have been on the battlefield, and their status is probably very noble,"
He looked around and whispered quickly: "And there may be someone who protects you secretly, you are in an embarrassing situation at the moment, and it is really not easy to provoke such a person!" ”
"You might be able to find out who she is?"
"I'll do my best!"
"What a beautiful and unique beauty...... "Chuck Gan rarely says such words.
The bearded man who followed frowned for a moment.
As soon as Lan Qiduo and Xiao Tuxi and their party walked downstairs, they saw the shopkeeper nodding and coming over. Unusually respectfully said: "Our shopkeeper is here, please!" ”
"Your shopkeeper invited my master to come over?"
Xiao Tuxi pouted, and Lan Qiduo and his party had no intention of stopping at all.
When the shopkeeper who was hiding in the dark saw these people so arrogant, he chuckled in his heart, thinking that he should not have offended people, right? trotted all the way to the door and stretched out his hand to stop Lan Qiduo, the two guards passed by the appearance of Chakgan just now, at this time the wind and grass were particularly vigilant, and the soft armor on the waist was pulled out with a "swish", and the people who had not finished walking in the teahouse immediately hugged their heads and ran away.
The shopkeeper looked at the sword on the side of his neck, was frightened, pushed the sword with his fingers, knelt on the ground in fright and said, "A good man spares his life!" ”
At this time, they had not yet walked out of the teahouse, only in the lobby, Lan Qiduo looked at the crowd of birds and beasts scattered and said, waving his hand: "Don't make a big move, they just have some ideas about the teahouse in Beijing, and the monk can't run the temple if he can run." ”
This was to the point, and the shopkeeper's kowtow was like pounding garlic and said: "Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao was able to guarantee with his life that he had no bad intentions towards this son. ”
"Get up!"
"Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Xie!" When he stood up, he almost fell down again, he had never encountered such a scary thing in business for so long, but he just stretched out his hand to stop someone, and he didn't do anything and drew his sword against each other, sure enough, doing business is risky, it's just fighting for his life, and he doesn't know which little boy it is, he didn't even talk about it
There were few people in Datang downstairs at this time, Lan Qiduo looked around, and always felt that the man he met upstairs just now must still be watching, so he said to the shopkeeper: "Do you have a backyard here?" ”
She thought that things here would inevitably be noticeable, so it was better to go out of the backyard.
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper's nod was like pounding garlic, at this time he didn't expect to know what cloud cake was made from this son's mouth, he just wanted to send this plague god away quickly.
Lan Qiduo and the others followed the shopkeeper to the backyard.
Chuck willingly stuck his head out of the stairs and said, "It's very exciting!" He groped his lips with his thumb, not knowing what to think.
Lan Qiduo arrived at the backyard of this teahouse, and saw that the layout was very elegant, and there was a little girl who was folding a kettle to water the flowers, and when she heard the sound of the door, she saw that her father had brought a few strange young men to the backyard, and then she was very happy and said: "Dad, you invited the son who knows how to make cloud cakes?" ”
"It's not...... It's not ......"
She said while giving Lan Qiduo a blessing, the shopkeeper was afraid to stop his daughter behind him, and was about to kneel down for Lan Qiduo, Lan Qiduo signaled the guards to hold the person, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said gently: "This young lady is right, I do know how to cloud cake, but how to do it?" ”
Lan Qiduo pointed at Xiao Tuxi and said, "She knows better, let's let her tell you!" ”
The shopkeeper's daughter was surprised to show her head from behind the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Thank you, son, but how did you sell it?" There are rules in one line, and we can't take advantage of you. ”
The shopkeeper was already speechless in shock, where did he think that there was such a thing, he originally thought that today was a bad luck, but unexpectedly, this son was willing to give him a prescription again? The boss couldn't help but be overjoyed all of a sudden, and then thought of his daughter saying that she wanted to buy someone else's recipe, and she was distressed.
Xiao Tuxi first said very politely: "Give my father-in-law first...... The old man of the son has a pot of good tea and some snacks, so don't want the tips of the hairs that fool people! ”
The little girl's face flushed, and she glared at her father and muttered: "Just say that you don't mix the tea like that, you don't listen ......to it."
When talking about pastries here, Xiahou Yi had already received a report from under the tree: "General, Cha Kegan went to a place called Longfeng Teahouse, but it seems that he met the eldest princess of Yuanjia......"
Before he finished speaking, Xiahou Yi knocked over the ink and went out with a gust of wind! (To be continued.) )
