Chapter 117: Dongchuan Town (2)
It didn't take long for Xiao Er to come and ask if he was going to eat.
"Guest officer, the most outgoing thing in our store is osmanthus fruity beef, osmanthus wine stuffed duck wings, osmanthus radish shreds, osmanthus carved duck, and crystal osmanthus cake." Xiao Er smoothly spit out a series of dish names and enthusiastically introduced them.
"Then let's have two portions of each of the dishes just now!" Jian Ning said casually, when she goes out, she doesn't care too much about eating, after all, there are probably not many who are better at cooking than herself.
"Miss, but I still want some wine, our osmanthus brew here is the most popular, suitable for both men and women." Xiao Er continued to introduce the wine.
"Then let's have two pots, too!"
"Okay, is the young lady going to the front for dinner, or is it in the room?" Xiao Er finally asked.
"Let's go to the front, leave two tables in a quiet place, and we'll be there in a moment." Jian Ning looked at the osmanthus tree outside through the window, in fact, what she hoped most was to be able to eat in the courtyard. However, I also saw that there was only one stone table in the courtyard, and it must not be able to sit the six of them.
Jian Ning has always had no concept of master and servant, and when she was in Ningxiang Courtyard, she often asked Xi'er to sit down and eat together. At first, Xi'er didn't dare, but Jian Ning insisted, and gradually got used to it, but whenever there were no outsiders present, they always ate at the same table.
"Okay, let's go down and prepare." Xiao Er said and went down.
After Jian Ning waited for everyone to clean up, they went to the front lobby together. When Xiao Er saw Jian Ning coming out, he led Jian Ning and the others to a corner by the window. The breeze blows, bringing a hint of osmanthus fragrance, which is really a wonderful location.
After you sit down. The dishes were served one after another. Look at the dishes. Jian Ning felt that the taste should not be much worse. I sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in my mouth, and it really had a unique flavor. The entrance is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, but also with a hint of fruity aroma, and the beef is also selected as the best beef, chewing both tough and not chewable.
"This dish tastes good, I don't know if I can meet the person who cooks it." Jian Ning asked Xiao Er with a smile.
"Don't hide it, Miss, this person who cooks is none other than our proprietress hostess. The little one will go and ask the proprietress for a while, and the young lady will wait a minute. Xiao Er replied with a smile. There was undisguised pride and reverence on his face. Presumably the proprietress was very popular.
In a few moments, a good-looking woman, about thirty years old, with snow-white skin, came out of a nearby door, wearing an emerald green embroidered dress, the sleeves of which were pulled up with ribbons, revealing a small white lotus arm.
There was no excessive decoration on his head, but he pulled his hair up casually and inserted a silver hairpin. At this moment, he walked towards Jian Ning and them with a smile.
"But Miss wants to see the slave?" Her smile gives a warm feeling, even kindness. This one walks in. Jian Ning smelled a faint scent of osmanthus emanating from her body.
Then he replied with a smile: "The proprietress has excellent skills, so I want to see it." I don't want to be such a beautiful person. ”
"Hehehe" The proprietress burst out with a silver bell-like laugh, and then said: "Miss is joking, if you talk about beauty, Miss is not a hundred times better than the slave family." ”
"The proprietress praised it." Jian Ning replied with a smile. Jian Ningsheng is indeed not bad, but it is completely different from the proprietress in front of her. The beauty of simplicity is fresh and natural, vivid and active. And the beauty of the proprietress is coquettish and full of charm.
"I wonder where the proprietress learned the craft?"
"I learned it on purpose, but it's just some ordinary home-cooked food, I learned it from my mother, and I improved it a little, and I don't want to be loved by many people." The proprietress was very modest in her tone.
"Oh, I see." Jian Ning didn't ask any more, and nodded with a light smile. But I know in my heart that I am afraid that it must have taken a lot of effort to achieve such a taste.
"Then you can use it slowly, and the slave family will go to greet the rest of the guests first." After speaking, he politely retreated.
"This proprietress is also an unusual woman." After a long time, Liu Leshan spit out a sentence lightly.
"The guest officer is absolutely right. Our hostess is such a different person! Hearing Liu Leshan's words, Xiao Er replied with a smile.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Jian Ning was interested at this time, and hurriedly asked.
"Do you know why our inn is called Osmanthus Inn?"
"Isn't it because of those osmanthus trees in the backyard?" Jian Ning replied suspiciously.
"A lot of guests think that, but that's not the case. At the time of those osmanthus trees, this inn was already this name. Moreover, those osmanthus trees are full of osmanthus flowers at this time, and they have not bloomed most of the time. ”
"Actually, the reason why it is called Osmanthus Inn is entirely because our proprietress is called Osmanthus. Later, after marrying our boss, they opened this inn together. The boss liked the proprietress so he took this name, and in the second year he planted a yard full of osmanthus trees for the proprietress in the yard. The smile on the face of the little two here is deeper, which shows that he likes the boss and the boss lady here very much.
"And ah, our boss and the boss have been married for many years, and they have always been very affectionate, although there is only one little daughter, but the boss has never said a word about taking a concubine! And the proprietress is also very capable, almost everyone who has come here to eat, has to praise the proprietress a few words. ”
"I didn't expect such a beautiful story, but why didn't I see your boss today?" Jian Ning couldn't imagine that there were such men who knew how to be romantic and affectionate in ancient times. But thinking of the proprietress just now, she is indeed a rare beauty, and she is also worthy of love. However, I have not seen the owner of this inn since I stayed in the hotel in the afternoon.
"Unfortunately, the boss went out early this morning to run errands, and he won't be back until tomorrow." Xiao Er said truthfully.
"Oh, I see, that's a coincidence."
Xiao Er then retreated.
Jian Ning tasted almost every dish, and the taste was good. I am particularly satisfied with the osmanthus brew, which is not too much compared to the fruit wine in my own food garden. It's just that this osmanthus brew has a lot of stamina, and if you are greedy for a cup, you will get drunk.
In the dining room, I could hear the rest of the guests at the table discussing the food god competition a few days ago, so naturally the topic of the food garden was indispensable. Jian Ning didn't care much, such a situation could have been expected earlier.
The God of Food Contest is a major event that only happens once every four years, and naturally it attracts the attention of the whole country, and I am afraid that even people from other countries will pay attention to it. And Shiweiyuan has won the championship for four consecutive years, how can it no longer be the center of the topic!
After returning to the room after eating, he asked Xiao Er to carry a few buckets of water and took a comfortable bath. When I looked at Ruan Zijin again, her arm had also improved significantly, and it would no longer itch, but it was this broken skin, and it might take a few days to be intact.
Since it was still early, it was the moon in the sky outside, the stars were dotted, and a burst of osmanthus fragrance wafted in, Jian Ning couldn't help but step out.
"Ning'er, where are you going?" Ruan Zijin was originally soaking in a bath behind the screen with his eyes closed, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, his body tensed instantly, and then he noticed that there was only Jian Ning's breath, so he asked.
"It's okay to be idle, go for a walk in the yard." Jian Ning replied while already closing the door.
Because she had just taken a bath, Jian Ning wore a silver-white openwork water weed-patterned skirt, and her jet-black hair was so casually draped.
Slowly walked to the only stone table in the courtyard and sat down, looking up at the moon that was not yet perfect, and couldn't help but feel a trace of melancholy in my heart. How long has it been since a moon like this has been seen? In modern times, I was busy working and working hard all day long, and sometimes I went home in the middle of the night, and I fell asleep when I was tired. And in such a big city, there are lights everywhere, where can you still see such a moon.
Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but sigh softly. What Jian Ning didn't know was that on the big tree behind her, there was a person who was leaning leisurely, looking at her quietly.
Jian Ning was alone and looked up at it for a long time, perhaps because Xiahou Yan's gaze was too hot. Jian Ning turned her head suspiciously, and what she saw was Xiahou Yan wearing a white gold brocade suit, and the whole person was sitting lazily on the trunk of the tree.
Maybe that kind of picture was too beautiful, and Jian Ning was speechless for a while. Seeing Jian Ning looking at herself, Xiahou Yan didn't speak, still with that warm smile, and looked at Jian Ning like that.
After a long time, Jian Ning suddenly spoke: "Since you are on it, why don't you speak?" ”
"I wanted to say it, but I didn't bother you when I saw that you were distracted." Xiahou Yan rarely calls Miss Jian Ning, and naturally it has always been me to claim herself.
Jian Ning originally wanted to ask why he was not in the room and was here, but suddenly thought that he was not in the room, so he didn't plan to ask, who hasn't had a time to be idle.
"How can you see the view when you stay down?" After Xiahou Yan finished speaking, he flew down, and without the slightest preparation for Jian Ning, he had already jumped up with Jian Ning's waist and landed firmly on the trunk of the tree.
Jian Ning only felt that her body was unstable at that time, and when she reacted, she was already standing in the position where Xiahou Yan was sitting just now. And their own hands due to the fright just now. Until now, he is still clutching Xiahou Yan's clothes.
Jian Ning blushed for a moment, and hurriedly let go of her hand. It's no wonder that Jian Ning blushes, even if she has been a human being for two lifetimes, she has never had such an intimate act with any man!
"You" Jian Ning just wanted to scold Xiahou Yan a few words, but suddenly saw Xiahou Yan make a silent action.
As he looked, under a piece of moonlight, the osmanthus flowers all over the ground were scattered with bursts of fragrance.
"Isn't it a completely different feeling than down there?" Suddenly, Xiahou Yan smiled and asked in Jian Ning's ear, "Do you want to be higher?" ”
"Huh?" Jian Ning was puzzled, but her feet were already suddenly suspended in the air, and because she was frightened, she once again involuntarily grabbed Xiahou Yan's clothes. (To be continued......)
