Chapter 42 Shopping
Can you eat something from the capital? The gluttonous worm in my stomach is starting to move. I ignored the smirking Zheng Yu behind me and jumped to the front hall.
When I arrived at the dining room, the girl just put the food on the table, and the time was just right. I thought that I would be able to go to Anseong soon, and although I couldn't see the third brother immediately, I would finally go to the place where the third brother lived, and my mood improved again, so I hummed a song and sat directly at the table.
The dishes are good, there are my favorite kidney bean steamed chicken, colorful fragrant steak, which are all famous dishes in Beijing, and ...... There is also a duck tongue stuffed with a hundred flowers...... My nose seemed to smell the ambergris mixed with peach blossoms again, and I lost my mind for a moment......
"What are you thinking?" Someone gently tapped my head with his warm hand.
"Oh, it hurts!" I screamed exaggeratedly to hide my distraction, touching my head with one hand, I knew it was Du Yichun.
Sure enough, Du Yichun walked up to me and sat down. He frowned, looked at his hands, then at my head, and saw my sly smile, and realized that I did it on purpose, shaking his head slightly.
Today, he wore a black brocade dress again, and there was no trace of a smile on his handsome face, and the taste of Ling was infinitely expanded. I pulled the clothes off my body, exhaled, and said, "It's cold." ”
He was puzzled, and I smiled: "Obviously my hands are very warm, why does the whole person look so cold?" If you get closer, you'll freeze into a popsicle. Don't you laugh?".
"How's your injury?" He was still expressionless, ignoring my "freezing theory".
I touched my neck, and the gauze there was removed and thrown away yesterday: "It's already healed, it's just a skin injury, and it doesn't hurt much to touch, but this scar may take some time to disappear." After speaking, he said to himself: "I shouldn't be a scar physique." ”
I admit that I deliberately made him not understand, I was just a little angry that he talked about him left and right, and I was even more angry that I was even more angry with myself, only to find that I was always led by his nose after answering, and followed his train of thought.
Ignoring Du Yichun's doubts, I began to eat.
"Okay, after today, we will leave for Ancheng early tomorrow morning." He didn't wonder for long, and began to eat without affecting his appetite at all.
I muttered, "You and Sister Yuxuan are not like each other at all!" "This is true, although I don't like Du Yuxuan, and I think she has many mysteries unsolved, but at least her personality is still relatively easy-going and outgoing, and it won't make people feel rejected. And Du Yichun's feeling is completely different from Du Yuxuan, they seem to be the same as me and the third brother, they are the same father and mother, I don't know how the personality is so different.
He was stunned and asked, "Is Yuxuan very happy at your house?" She...... Does she laugh a lot?"
I said a little strangely: "Of course I often laugh, she and the third brother are very good together, you don't have to worry, my third brother is like a jewel to her, even my sister is very jealous......" What came to mind was the harmonious scene of love between the two that I saw in the third brother's room that day......
A complicated expression appeared on Du Yichun's face, I couldn't tell what it was, and then he nodded lightly and said, "Mu Yu should indeed treat her like a jewel, this is what he and the Prime Minister have worked so hard to get, of course, it should be cherished." ”
I knew that he was talking about Ding Xiang begging the emperor for marriage, so he pouted and said, "You don't need to say this, the third brother will do it." ”
He nodded silently and said no more. But I feel that he is indescribably lonely at the moment, I think he must love this sister very much, he used to be loved by his brother, but now he is replaced by another man, I feel very unaccustomed. In addition, the third brother is at the border at the moment, and he is not by his sister's side, so it is inevitable that he will be worried.
Therefore, my sympathy overflowed again, and said: "Your sister is taken care of by my third brother, and my third brother is the only son of Xiangye, the heir in the future, even if he is not in the Xiangfu, no one dares to provoke the future hostess a little unhappy." ”
Du Yichun nodded again, and said, "Eat quickly, I'll take you to the market to buy something later, so you can use it on the road."
As soon as I heard it, I was interested, women may naturally like to shop. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to buy, he has all the food and clothing here, but after holding it here for two days, I have long wanted to go out for a walk, and I want to mention to him to go out to breathe before leaving tomorrow, but I didn't think that he took the initiative to bring it up, which made me overjoyed.
I ate a few more bites of golden silk crisp, stood up impatiently, and urged him: "Don't eat too much, let's go out and see the local snacks, maybe it will be more delicious." ”
He looked up at me, shook his head, and stood up and walked out with me.
This small town very close to the border is particularly lively, selling fabrics, all kinds of gadgets, and all kinds of snacks, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as dazzling. And the sugar man I liked when I was a kid is also available here. This is to use high temperature to melt the brown sugar, and then make various shapes on the glass plate, with birds as the most, the key test is the producer's inverted technology, if the speed is too fast, it may not be easy to form; If it's too slow, the sugar may set. In fact, in my previous life, there were also this kind of sugar people in modern times, but I feel that the technique is not as skilled as the ancestors in this life.
After buying a candy man with great interest, I bought a few small jade ornaments. Du Yichun sighed on the side: "I really don't know how you came to the border city smoothly, don't you know that you can't reveal your wealth?" It's amazing that your wallet isn't being targeted. “
I grinned and said, "I have a good character, God bless me." “
After saying that, I seemed to think of something, but it didn't seem to be anything. I shook my head and continued my shopping trip.
Buying east and west along the way, Du Yichun soon carried two big bags in his hand. There is food, use, and play, anyway, it greatly satisfies my shopping desire. I used to go shopping with Rulan, she was always very restrained, this is just to see, that is just to see, I can't let go of my hands and feet to buy. All this is with Du Yichun, anyway, he doesn't speak with a cold face, I just treat him as if he doesn't exist, buy a lot, and let him mention it, which makes my mood unusually comfortable.
If you buy about it, it's time to eat it. He said there was a very famous shop, so he took me to a small restaurant.
Along the way, the most common food in the northwest is beef and mutton, especially mutton, because it can generate heat after eating, and it is also especially suitable for these cold places. In addition to the famous mutton pot in this shop, the most famous one is the sweet duck, which should be difficult to raise here.
Sure enough, a sweet-skinned duck costs 1 tael of silver! According to modern currency conversion, it costs a few hundred yuan a piece! I couldn't help but stick out my tongue, although I have money, but it always feels like a problem to waste it like this.
I still only ordered the mutton pot, which is actually a soup pot, where the mutton is sliced and boiled, and there are other side dishes.
Du Yichun saw my previous enthusiasm for spending money to buy things, and felt strange that I didn't order sweet ducks, and asked: "Why don't you order ducks, he is most famous for ducks here, and there are only a few of them every day, and they are gone when it is late." If you want to eat, I invite you. ”
I pursed my lips and said, "This kind of sky-high duck will be unlucky if you eat it." ”
The owner of the shop was nice and gave us a few side dishes, and the mutton soup was also delicious.
I did have some doubts in my heart, so I couldn't help but ask the boss: "Boss, your duck is so expensive, can you sell it?" ”
The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, who smiled, his face was full of flesh, and said, "Of course it can be sold, the rich people in this town like to eat this." This duck is expensive, but it is indeed not easy to come by, it is sent from a town far away, and only a dozen of them are delivered every five days. If it weren't for the fact that my young master likes to eat, we wouldn't be in this business. ”
I smiled: "It seems that your young master's mouth is quite tricky, I have eaten this sweet duck, it is the food of Shuzhong." Boiling the marinated duck in a brine made with rock sugar and various spices is simple, but it is difficult to make it delicious. The main ingredients for brine should be a secret. ”
The boss probably didn't expect me to know this, and after a moment's pause, he smiled and said, "The girl is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable." This sweet duck was tasted last time when the young master entered Shu, and it was unforgettable, so it took us a lot of effort to find the person who had the secret recipe, and it took a lot of effort to get the secret recipe. I also sent two people to the house to learn the marinating method before making this sweet duck. The main thing is to eat for the lesser masters, and the extra ones are sold. ”
I was surprised by the young master's mouth and the family's generosity, and looked at Du Yichun, but he didn't look at me, just lowered his head to eat, absent-mindedly, probably speculating about the origin of this young master.
