Chapter 12 Treats
Although Wang Jin, who was walking in the front, seemed to be in high spirits, he was actually worried in his heart, and he was relieved when he saw Jiang Qingliu and the others following, thinking that this thing was done today, and his face couldn't help showing a relaxed look, and he was in a good mood. On the way back, Jiang Qingliu saw that the corners of her mouth had been smiling shallowly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she diligently poured tea and handed him snacks, and said some interesting things about the streets and alleys of Yangzhou, and his originally depressed mood gradually eased a little. He opened his mouth several times to ask, but the tears and sadness in her eyes seemed to appear in front of him that night, and when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he turned and swallowed, so he had to sigh in his heart: Well, she has the grace to save my life after all, but what if I buy a house and follow her wishes? Even if there is any calamity, I will stand in the way. Thinking like this, the displeasure, embarrassment and depression in his heart disappeared, but he was in the mood to appreciate the flower-like smile of the person opposite at the moment, and then enjoyed her rare petty hospitality, only to feel extremely ironing, and he couldn't remember the anger he had before.
After arriving at Yaxing, Jiang Qingliu happily took out the silver ticket and paid the money, and the house, together with all the furniture inside, was worth four hundred taels. After changing the title deed, Zhang Gui asked, "Does the son want to go to the yamen to prepare a case?" ”
Jiang Qingliu glanced at Wang Jin, and said lightly: "No need, the filing process is very troublesome, I have to clean up this new house today, and there are many items that need to be added, let's talk about this later." ”
Zhang Gui said: "Childe is right, don't be in a hurry at this time." When you are free, come to our tooth shop and say it! ”
Jiang Qingliu bowed slightly, and then got up to leave. Wang Jin saw that this matter had come to an end, and found that it was already lunch time, so he felt hungry, so he stepped forward and said to Jiang Qingliu: "Jiang Gongzi, please send me into the city today, seeing that it will be noon, why don't I be a host, invite Jiang Gongzi, Brother Qin and Uncle Min to have a meal, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." What she said was sincere, Jiang Qingliu went to a heart problem for her, and she was still happy to invite him to a meal.
Qin Ziming was already waiting by the carriage, and his expression was a little distorted when he heard her words. When he saw that Wang Jin was forcing Jiang Qingliu to buy the house, the conjecture in his heart changed from doubt to certainty. Now seeing that Wang Jin is cheap and behaved, he said that he wanted to invite them to dinner, and he really wanted to complain. How many meals can you eat in four hundred taels, my son-in-law has suffered such a big grievance, and he will be sent away after a meal, and then the eyes will know that you have no money at a glance, but my son-in-law has money, let you have a treat, and the spitting stars will not drown us... He resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and stood by the carriage with his head bowed without saying a word, waiting for Jiang Qingliu to speak.
Jiang Qingliu had long lost his previous anger, and at this moment, when he heard Wang Jin say that he wanted to have a treat, he thought that she was guilty after all, and he would not refute her face, so he nodded at her and said: "Miss Wang has a heart, it is better to be respectful than to obey her fate, the girl is so familiar with this Yangzhou city, this meal will ask the girl to lead the way, and we will also taste the flavor of Yangzhou." ”
Seeing him like this, Wang Jin's heart to invite guests was a little more sincere, and when he got into the carriage, he ordered Qin Ziming to go close to Qinghe Street in the city.
"Jiang Gongzi has eaten countless delicacies since he was a child, but I am afraid that the dishes made by the most expensive restaurant cyclamen in Yangzhou City may not be comparable. Today, I will take my son to the place where our Yangzhou people love to eat. Wang Jin said with a smile.
"Then Jiang will wait and see." Seeing her smile like this, Jiang Qingliu's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, and the words in her mouth also carried a bit of tenderness.
The carriage finally stopped at the door of a restaurant called Fuchun Tea House on the corner of the street, Qin Ziming took a look at this restaurant, the scale is not large, but it is two floors, and the decoration materials are not the best, compared to the famous restaurants that the son went to before. I couldn't help but mutter: Why did Miss Wang choose such an inconspicuous place, is she afraid that she won't bring enough money?
Jiang Qingliu didn't feel that there was a problem, looking at the confident smile on Wang Jin's face, he felt that this restaurant looked ordinary, and he was afraid that there was something inside. After the guys in the store hurriedly ran out to settle the carriage for them, several people entered the restaurant. I only felt a burst of fragrant food in my face, and I hooked people's index fingers, and then I saw that the guests in this restaurant were already full, and a few little two sang the name of the dish in their mouths, and steadily served a few large plates to each table along the way. The guy who greeted the guests came up, enthusiastically led them to the second floor, and said warmly: "The guest officers are in a hurry, there is just a box vacant, and there will be no place if you come a little later." ”
Qin Ziming answered: "Your store is so lively every day? ”
"That's natural, there are a lot of repeat customers in our store, and you want to come back a second time after eating a bag!" The little two were very proud in their words. "Since there are so many people, why don't you expand the store a little bit and make more money?" Qin Ziming asked again.
"Our host said that we can only receive so many guests in a day, and no matter how many dishes we make, the taste will be poor, and it will break the signboard!" The man replied.
Qin Ziming thought about it, and his favorability of this store rose a few points.
The private room where the guy brought them in was facing Qinghe Street, and when you opened the window, you could see the lively market and the crowd outside. There are a few pots of bright green bonsai in the box, with bamboo and spider plants, which look fresh and lively. The guy was just about to ask them what dish they ordered, and Wang Jian had already begun to report the name of the dish: "Mixed with dried shreds on the cold dish, pine nut goose oil rolls, crab dumplings, rouge goose breast, and a three-headed banquet with Wensi tofu soup and lotus root flour dumplings on the hot dish." Oh, and by the way, add an assorted crushed golden rice with a larger portion. She turned her head to look at Jiang Qingliu and said, "Jiang Gongzi, do you want to drink some wine?" I heard that this shop's home-brewed bamboo leaf sake is very famous! Jiang Qingliu saw that she was so interested, and he didn't stop her, and said, "It's okay to drink some wine." Wang Hibiscus was very happy and asked the man for another pot of wine.
When she reported the names of such a series of dishes before, the guy had already reacted, and said that this must be an old diner, so he hurriedly wrote it down carefully, served them tea, and hurriedly ran to serve the dishes.
Jiang Qingliu saw that she was so familiar, and thought to herself that she was afraid that she had often come here before, and remembered the home-cooked but delicious meals she ate at her house, and she was also a little looking forward to it at this time. Qin Ziming asked, "Miss Wang, what kind of dish is the three-headed banquet?" ”
Wang Jin winked at him and said, "You'll know when the food is served." ”
I didn't wait for a while, the cold dishes were all served, everyone got up and tasted it, the dry silk was tender and delicious, the goose fat roll was crispy and not greasy, the dumplings were fresh and smooth and tender, and the rouge goose breast meat was rich and delicious. Only these exquisitely made and delicious side dishes tasted, everyone had a bright feeling, Wang Jian was so beautiful that she wanted to cry, she really hadn't eaten her favorite goose breast for a long time, and couldn't help but clip two more chopsticks. Jiang Qingliu saw that she was eating very happily, and the pleasure in her eyes was like a starlight, and she couldn't help but feel a strange pity in her heart, but she was afraid that since her father passed away, she would never come to this restaurant again. At this time, a little two walked in with three large deep plates, and sang in his mouth: "The three-headed banquet you want is here, dismantle the stewed silver carp head--stewed lion's head--grilled whole pig's head, please use it slowly!" ”
As soon as these three dishes are put on the table, they are immediately full, and the color is extremely attractive, which makes people salivate. Wang Jian looked at everyone's slightly shocked expressions, laughed in his heart, and explained for them: "These three-headed banquet refers to this fish head, lion head and pig head, each dish is very distinctive, everyone hurry up and try it." Qin Ziming was the first to react, pointing to the pig's head that was flushed with sauce red and could clearly identify his facial features: "This, this, this pig's head can also be eaten?" ”
"Of course you can eat it, my favorite of these three feasts is this pig's head. But it's useless to boast with your mouth, Brother Qin won't know if you taste it yourself. Wang Jin said with a smile.
Qin Ziming was a little hesitant, Jiang Qingliu and Min Chong didn't move their chopsticks, Wang Jin slandered in his heart: I really don't know how to appreciate, but it's a pity that other pigs sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Without further ado, he first put the pig's ear in one of his own bowls with chopsticks and gnawed it happily. It turned out that this dish was to remove the whole pig's head from the bones and brain, and then dig out the eyeballs, ears, cheeks, pig's tongue, etc., and cook it with the head meat, and then put it back as it was, so Wang Jian took an ear back without much effort. Seeing that she was eating very heartily, Qin Ziming also carefully picked up the other ear, and after tasting it, his eyes lit up, and he nodded straight towards Jiang Qingliu, and said, "Childe, this pig's head meat is really amazing, you can taste it quickly." ”
Jiang Qingliu took a small piece of the chopstick, tasted it, and praised: "Fat and sweet, soft and glutinous, rich aroma, sweet and salty, indeed the flavor is excellent, Miss Wang really picked a good dish." ”
Wang Jin was not modest, and pointed to the other two dishes and said: "This fish head and lion head are not inferior, and the son will try it too." ”
Jiang Qingliu tasted them one by one, the scalp of the braised silver carp was sticky and slippery, the fish meat was fatty and tender, and the soup was thick; The lion's head is fluffy, fat but not greasy, and the soup is delicious, and it is indeed extremely delicious. After the hair-thin Wensi tofu soup, the sweet and refreshing lotus root dumplings and the colorful assorted crushed golden rice were served, everyone couldn't talk for a while, and savored the food.
When he was half-full, Wang Jian put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass and said: "Gongzi Jiang, Brother Qin, Uncle Min, it is also fate that we met by chance, and we will part ways after eating this meal, I don't know if we can see each other again in the future, I hope everyone can be safe and secure in the future, and all wishes come true." I would like to toast you all! After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.
This was said a little sadly, and the three of them did not answer, but just raised their wine glasses and saluted her. Jiang Qingliu saw that her face was slightly drunk, her eyes were shining, her small mouth was ruddy, and her heart couldn't help but jump up. I remembered what she had just said that I don't know when I would see each other in the future, and I didn't know what to eat. He slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and whispered to Wang Jin: "If Miss Wang has any difficulties in the future, you can come to find Jiang immediately, and if you can help, you will do your best to help!" ”
"Jiang Gongzi, don't worry, if there is really this day, I will definitely come to you for help. I'm afraid that by then, Gongzi Jiang will already be empty. Wang Jian half-jokingly.
"I understand what the girl is worried about, but I am very satisfied with the house, even if I leave Yangzhou later, I will not resell it, and I will leave someone to guard it, although the girl will come to the door." Jiang Qingliu said again.
What I want is your words, if you sell my house to someone else in the blink of an eye, who will I cry to? Wang Jin was extremely satisfied, and felt that this Jiang Qingliu was really good.
The guests and hosts of this meal were happy, Qin Ziming's belly was bigger, and he had to hold on to the wall when he went out. Min Chong went out before they finished eating, and settled the account, and after Wang Jian found out, he refused to follow and let Min Chong drink three glasses of wine before stopping. Hey, it's really unreasonable for the person who pays to be bullied~
