As soon as Zhu Fei said this, not only Zhong Ziyuan was surprised, but even the old beggar himself felt incredible. However, the little beggar was ignorant and fearless, and when he saw that everyone looked abnormal, he pulled the old beggar's sleeve in ignorance and asked curiously: "Old man, what is the imperial meal?" ”

"Little guy, this son has come to tell you." Zhu Fei didn't think that the two of them smelled, he shook the folding fan, dragged the clogs, and shook it with great interest, and said: "The so-called imperial meal is the food that can only be enjoyed by the emperor, queen, prince and grandson and even the harem concubines in the palace. He sat down beside the old beggar and asked with a smile, "I'm right, uncle." ”

The little beggar's mouth immediately opened in an O-shape, and stars almost popped out of his eyes. No matter how ignorant he is, he knows what the emperor and queen in the palace represent.

So he said incredulously: "Old man, it turns out that you are really so powerful, you even know the imperial meal!" After thinking about it, he said with a smile: "When you find your own home, you must be good at talking, remember to invite me to eat these delicious foods every day." The old beggar tugged at the corners of his mouth, but said nothing.

Suddenly there was a sound of light footsteps at the staircase, and after a while, Yukihime swung her waist and walked up enchantingly. She came to Zhu Fei, bowed slightly, and said, "Fortunately, those guys who are bullying people have been sent away." ”

Before Zhu Fei could speak, the little beggar exclaimed, "Beautiful sister, you are so powerful." His eyes were sparkling, and they were full of adoration.

Yukihime covered her mouth and smiled, her chin slightly raised. said proudly: "Of course, you kid has a vision." ”

Zhong Ziyuan said strangely: "Didn't you say that the convoy was escorting military supplies? How can it be so easy to pass? ”

Yukihime curled the corners of her mouth. said with a smile: "Doctor Jia's medical skills are excellent, and he can be called a reincarnation Hua Tuo. But there is little insight in these things. Traditionally, military supplies have been specially escorted by people from the military department, when do you need to use which servants in the lord's mansion? Isn't this a slap in the face of our emperor! It can be seen that they are bluffing. ”

"I smashed a few of their boxes just now, and all that came out of them were some silk silk. It is estimated that they are just delivering goods for the shop of one of the masters' families in the Taifu Temple. I showed the waist card of our Shu Wangfu, and those bastards didn't say a word, and immediately packed up their things honestly and got out. ”

Only then did Zhong Ziyuan understand that it turned out that the dozen or so big men were relying on the power in the mansion, and they were all selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. It is a shame that they still have a righteous and strong virtue, and it seems that such a bully has not been done less. ”

The old beggar frowned, and he sighed slightly. Touching the little beggar's head, he said with a headache: "In this way, I'm afraid that we will move again." The little beggar's eyes darkened, pursed his lips, lowered his head and stopped talking.

At this time, the shopkeeper walked up with a huge tray containing four large bowls. It's crystal elbows, steamed mandarin fish, chicken breast and bean sprouts, and eight-treasure duck.

The dish was brought to the table. Xiao Er took down the handkerchief hanging around his neck, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then accompanied the smiling face, and said earnestly: "This chicken breast bean sprout and eight-treasure duck." It was made by the chef of the small shop according to what the husband said, but I don't know if it tastes right. If there is anything wrong, please point it out. We can change it again. ”

After he had just told the shopkeeper and the chef about these two dishes, they were all very excited. You must know that every famous restaurant will have its own signature dishes. And the secret recipes of these signature dishes are often pinched in the palms of one or two people, and they are absolutely confidential. It may only be passed down from father to son or between master and apprentice, and will never be leaked.

And with the shopkeeper and the chef's knowledge, they quickly heard that the two menus that the beggar said casually were definitely secret recipes that would not be passed down lightly. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could they miss it lightly, so they sent this little two to come up and take a look.

Who knew that the old beggar was also obedient, he didn't raise his head, he didn't taste the food, but just said: "That's good, there's nothing to change." "Just kidding, he's not a fool. Since Zhu Fei has already broken that these two dishes are imperial meals, how can he continue to leak them out, if not, a hat of bullying the king will be buckled. Isn't he walking around without finishing his meal?

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to continue to entangle, so he had to go downstairs slowly.

As soon as the dish was served, the little beggar's eyes were already straight. His eyes were fixed on the steaming four dishes on the table, swallowing his saliva, and his face was full of incredulity: "These are all for us to eat?" ”

The old beggar touched his head lovingly and said, "Yes, it's all for you, eat it quickly!" His voice fell. The little beggar cheered, unceremoniously stretched out his black whirring paws, and was not afraid of being hot, grabbed the trembling, ruddy and greasy crystal elbow, and gnawed it down. The old beggar was slightly happy, picked up the bamboo chopsticks in front of him, and ate them quite leisurely.

In order to make the two of them eat freely, Zhong Ziyuan and Zhu Fei had already stepped aside. However, the eyes of the two were still closely watching the old beggar's every move.

I saw that the old beggar was not in a hurry or panic, and there was no indication that a man who was often hungry was eating. And the first thing he sandwiched was the two pieces of tender meat on the cheeks of the fish. He ate a piece of it himself, and the rest was brought to the little beggar's mouth, but the little beggar bit his elbow and shook his head to refuse his kindness. He wasn't angry, he just threw the piece of fish cheek into his mouth and chewed it. Then he tasted the chicken breast bean sprouts and the eight-treasure duck again, and then frowned, not looking very satisfied.

Zhu Fei retracted his gaze, he shook the folding fan, chuckled, leaned into Zhong Ziyuan's ear and said, "See, the old beggar's background is definitely not that simple." Zhong Ziyuan was defenseless, only felt a warm breath blowing into her ears and eyes, itching, making goosebumps stand up all over her body.

Zhong Ziyuan pushed him a little uncomfortably, and said angrily: "Talk well, it makes people itch." ”

Zhu Fei's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw her ingot-like earlobes, faintly revealing a touch of redness. He couldn't help but be amused. Clapped his hands and smiled: "It turns out that your kid's ears are itchy, which is not good." You'll be afraid of your daughter-in-law in the future. ”

Zhong Ziyuan snorted, and said angrily: "Let's wait until I have a daughter-in-law!" She was afraid that Zhu Fei would continue to struggle with this issue. Will say more embarrassing things to embarrass himself. So she plucked her ears with her little fingers, and then she turned to the old beggar's side, and said, "You see something wrong again?" ”

Zhu Fei's attention was really shifted instantly, he looked at the old beggar again, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Although I didn't eat it, I also knew that the soup of the chicken breast and bean sprouts was not clean, and the color of the eight-treasure duck was slightly darker, so it should be that the ingredients were placed in the wrong order." The old beggar tasted it and didn't touch it again. It seems that he is not hearsay, but really knows the taste of these two dishes.

And the steamed mandarin fish, the most tender thing is the two pieces of tender meat on the cheeks. The old beggar didn't want to think about it, so he came up and ate it, obviously he was used to eating like this before, so he would have this subconscious behavior. From all these indications, this old beggar must have been born into the royal family. It's just that I've been away from Chang'an City for many years, and I really don't know which uncle or brother has this Yaxing and plays as beggars here. ”

Listen to him. Zhong Ziyuan had to say with admiration: "If you can see the flaws in these dishes, it is estimated that only you, the prince who never gets tired of eating, can do it." ”

When Xue Ji heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "That's, when it comes to eating." I'm afraid that the emperor today doesn't have the fine food of our prince. ”

"Yukihime." Zhu Fei cleared his throat and said seriously: "Your temperament is just too straightforward, although it is a fact. Don't say it so loudly! Be careful that the wall has ears, if it reaches the ears of the emperor. You and I can't afford to be guilty. ”

When he says this, he should be sincere. Zhong Ziyuan would still believe it. But looking at his slightly raised eyebrows and slightly raised chin, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but smile.

However, this old beggar had already aroused Zhong Ziyuan's strong curiosity. She thought about it for a moment and said in a low voice: "Since neither of us can recognize each other, it is better to find Guo Shilang to recognize it, I am afraid that these royal relatives and nobles are still familiar with it." Besides, this old beggar is still an important witness in Brother Zhuang's case, and he always has to be brought to him to reply. ”

"Hmm." Zhu Fei nodded in agreement and said: "Now that Yi is not in Chang'an City, it is true that only the kid who is the heir is more familiar with us than the two of us."

While the two of them were whispering, the two of them had almost eaten over there. The old beggar ate only the steamed mandarin fish, and the remaining three dishes were all swept away by the little beggar like a whirlwind cloud. At this moment, he wiped his oily lips with his sleeve, held his round belly, and burped contentedly. The two eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.

The old beggar took a big fish bone in his hand, picked between his teeth, and asked with a smile, "Stinky boy, have you eaten enough?" ”

"Hiccup!" The little beggar burped loudly again, then nodded happily.

The old beggar smiled, dropped the fish bone in his hand, dragged the rotten clogs, and staggered to Zhong Ziyuan and Zhu Fei. He casually took a small teacup, lifted the teapot in front of Zhu Fei, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp. Then he wiped his beard and said with a big grin: "Little brother, you don't have to say that I know." There is no feast in the world that eats for free. Since I have eaten your table, I will help you to be this witness. I have one condition, though. At this, a fox-like sly smile appeared on his face.

"Okay." Zhong Ziyuan waited for him to say this, she looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "As long as you are willing to testify in court, I will definitely do my best to do what I can do for you." ”

The old beggar tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said slowly: "If I want to testify in court, I will definitely offend those mad dogs in that Zhang Mansion." Old man, I'm already half-cut into the ground anyway, and I'm not afraid of anything. But this little beggar has been with me for several years, just like a nephew. All I ask is that you keep him safe no matter what method you use. ”

The little beggar was still smiling brightly, but when he heard this, his little face immediately collapsed. He immediately ran over, habitually tugging at the old beggar's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Old man, I want to be with you, I won't go with others." ”

The old beggar smiled and teased: "I don't know who said that I want to go with Master Pu Helm when I grow up, why am I reluctant to let the old man and me go." The little beggar's lips curled and he said no more, but his oily hand tugged at the old beggar's sleeve but refused to let go, as if he were afraid that the old beggar would leave him at once.

Zhong Ziyuan and Zhu Fei glanced at each other, and after thinking for a moment, they said cautiously: "My yard is not big, it can't accommodate so many people, and it can't guarantee your safety." However, the prince of Shu has a spacious place, many guards, and is very safe, so it is better for the two of you to live with him temporarily. First, I am not afraid that the people of that Zhang Mansion will come to find trouble, and second, if there is anything, it is easy to find. What do you think, sir? ”

The old beggar glanced at Zhu Fei and asked, "You are the prince of the King of Shu?" ”

Zhu Fei shook the folding fan, showed a stunning smile, and said, "Yes, it's just below." ”

"Sure enough, it lives up to its name." The corners of the old beggar's mouth flicked, he looked at Zhong Ziyuan, and said with a smile: "Since you can be the lord of the prince of the King of Shu, it is not easy to come from a background. Not only brother, which house are you the son of? ”

Zhong Ziyuan was stunned, her lips moved, and she didn't say half a word. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have overstepped her bounds. Zhu Fei smiled, he glanced at Zhong Ziyuan, his eyes were so moving, and he was so charming. His red lips opened slightly, and he spoke casually: "In the eyes of the son of this world, he is the only person in the world who does not make me feel lonely." He can naturally call the shots for these little things. ”

This sentence is so heavy! For a moment, not only Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, but even Zhu Fei himself was stunned. He didn't seem to understand for a moment how he could blurt out such words.

The old beggar didn't really care, and he laughed and said, "So good, very good."

After some discussion, the old beggar still took the little beggar and returned home with Zhu Fei. However, the two recipes he inadvertently left behind, under the development of this restaurant's chef, have finally been achieved to the extreme. And many years later, this restaurant relied on these two dishes to open branches outside the Saiwai. Although it is not as good as Piaoxiang Building in Chang'an City. But out of Chang'an City, it is two supreme delicacies that everyone knows and everyone knows. (To be continued......)
