Chapter 375: Meatloaf Challenge
Aftertaste asked Su Miao to wait at the gate, he didn't know where he went, so he appeared at the gate and took Su Miao to the car.
Su Miao followed the aftertaste to take the carriage, bang, all the way to the market.
Although it is outside the city of Liangdu, the outside of the city of Liangdu is completely a new district. It is said that the housing prices and land prices in the Liangdu city are very high, but because of the roots of the imperial city, people who come to find a chance to try their luck and make a fortune flock to it, and the places in the city are scarce and the price is high and they can't afford to live, so naturally many people begin to choose to live outside the city, with the increase in population, the land prices around Liangdu are bullish, followed by rapid development. This area outside the city of Liangdu is also a small business district, and it is also a place where second-level traders from all over the world gather, all the first-level dealers enter the city to do business, and the second-level dealers have to sell outside the city because of their lack of connections.
Aftertaste of this market with Su Miao is the part of the whole market dedicated to selling ingredients, Su Miao saw many rare ingredients in the bustling stalls, and also saw many aliens with different skin colors from the people of Yueliang. It is the end of the market, and there are many people who come to sweep the goods, not because they are greedy for cheapness, but because the quality of the last wave of ingredients is not bad, but it is much cheaper than during the day, attracting many restaurants and restaurants to come to sweep the goods.
In retrospect, this is the food warehouse of the major catering institutions in Yueliang Country, except for those that are self-grown, almost all restaurants will come here to buy ingredients.
The spectacular market stretched for several miles, which made Su Miao, who had not seen such a large market for a long time, amazed and excited.
Aftertaste took her hand and shuttled through the crowd. Su Miao happily watched the big fish, gourd melon and imported cabbage that were sold on the stall, and observed her expression with retrospect, feeling that she was much happier in the face of chicken, duck and fish than in the face of his family.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a market open all day. When I was in Toyosu, the markets were closed in the morning. Su Miao took the aftertaste of the hand and smiled comfortably.
"It's a vegetable market during the day, and at night it becomes a night market, and all kinds of snacks and gadgets are put out, which is very lively." Looking at her smiling face, Aftertaste said softly.
"Really? Isn't there a curfew here? Su Miao was stunned. Asked suspiciously.
"Don't say there's no here, even Liangdu City doesn't have a curfew."
"Why is there no curfew? We have a curfew in Fengzhou, although it is very late in Suzhou. But there are curfews. ”
"Locally, for the convenience of governance, the city near Liangdu basically has no curfew, the emperor doesn't like it, and the emperor's favorite thing to do is to go out to the morning market and visit the night market."
Su Miao was dumbfounded. exclaimed: "The emperor's hobby is really special." ”
"My dad also loves to go to the morning market and the night market. He and the emperor used to travel together, went to the red medicine garden to eat shortbread, and occasionally went to the pear garden to listen to the opera and eat baked gluten in the evening. ”
“…… Your father and the emperor's taste is really happy with the people, they are definitely a mother's brother, right? Su Miao smiled and asked.
"It's a mother, yes, the emperor and my father were both from the emperor's concubine."
"Does the emperor have many princes?"
"There were nine princes, three of whom died in their early years, and two of them were twins who died of smallpox. The other was born prematurely and was weak. died before he was a year old, and there was also a stillborn emperor who was also counted, and now the adult is the crown prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, the seventh prince and the ninth prince, the prince, the second prince and the ninth prince, you have all seen it, the fifth prince and the seventh prince were ordered to send a neighboring country to Ezhou to investigate the case, these two people are not much to see, one is flamboyant, the other is rigid and stubborn. ”
"Does the emperor have many concubines?"
"It's okay." Huiwei thought about it for a while and replied, "It's not too much and it's not too little, the emperor is going to have many concubines." ”
"King Wu, is he married?" Su Miao suddenly asked.
Huiwei looked at her with a disdainful expression, and replied coldly: "Liang Ao's sons are already ten years old, and he has two sons and a daughter. ”
Su Miao's jaw dropped.
"Why do you have such a stupid expression?"
"He doesn't look that old, but he has so many children!" Su Miao was quite amazed.
"He's thirty years old, and he's even had grandchildren in a few years, what do you want to do when you ask him if he's married?"
"No, I'm just asking." There are too many marriageable girls around her, and she finally has to get mixed up in this regard...... Well, in fact, it was the eldest sister who asked her to inquire, saying that she asked her to help Su Chan, who was most likely to be unable to marry in their family, inquire, but she didn't expect that the other party already had a family and was about to have a grandson, so she pouted, she was very regretful, "Aren't the prince and King Wu the same mother?" ”
"The prince's biological mother is Wei Xinlan, the concubine of the Wei family and the emperor's first queen."
"Wei Xinlan?" Su Miao was stunned.
Aftertaste understood what she was thinking, and replied lightly: "Wei Xinlan is Wei Xinyan's eldest sister, and it was the first generation of Wei Prime Minister to make her to the emperor who was still a prince at the time, the Wei family has a total of three prime ministers, Wei Xinyan's grandfather, father and brother, the Wei family's daughters are generations, Wei Xinlan is only one of them, and the rest of the women are princesses, Wei Xinyan is also one of them, it is said that this is the ancestral training of the Wei family, men must enter the court as officials, and women must be concubines if they are not queens." ”
"......" Su Miao was surprised for a long time, and said with a dry smile, "It's also quite powerful, from a certain point of view." ”
Huiwei nodded, and I didn't know if I agreed with Su Miao's words, or because I was idle and wanted to nod.
"The relationship between the crown prince and King Wu is not very good?" Su Miao thought for a long time and asked in a low voice.
Aftertaste glanced at her, paused, and replied lightly: "Although the prince has been made the prince, the power of King Wu should not be underestimated, the prince was born prematurely, his body is weak, and he has a gentle temperament, likes to be quiet, respects benevolence and promotes Confucianism, does not like to make friends with people, and occasionally is a little indecisive, compared with him." King Wu was born in the military, made military exploits, and acted resolutely. Eight-faced, like to make friends, not only the old ministers in the court, even the new upstarts in the court also have a close personal relationship with him, the emperor also relies on him very much, in the eyes of many people, King Wu is a threat to the crown prince. ”
Su Miao didn't understand. Just a little boring:
"They all grew up together since childhood, and they are brothers, and they don't see each other when they look down. Toss these, why bother, don't be tired! To be an emperor is to govern a country, to govern a country...... I just don't think it's funny. The meaning of life should be to eat, drink, and have fun, and enjoy the sunshine and warmth. What's the fun of living if you don't enjoy it to the fullest! She flattened her mouth, disapproving.
Aftertaste smiled: "If everyone thinks like you......"
"The world has been at peace for a long time, hasn't it?" Su Miao answered with a smile, feeling quite proud of her life understanding of eating, drinking and having fun.
"Yue Liang Kingdom has long been invaded to the point that there is not even a slag left." Aftertaste continued solemnly.
"......" Su Miaoba clicked her mouth twice, sounding very serious, "Are you very good with King Wu?" ”
"Nope." Aftertaste replied categorically.
"But he seems to be very good with you." Su Miaocai didn't believe his denial and asked.
"He's the one I hate the most." Aftertaste said with a cold face and word by word. He didn't want to talk about the princes in the palace who bullied him collectively when he was a child, although the prince broke the siege every time. But for those princes who often bullied him, he still holds a grudge against him.
"......" How many psychological shadows has he suffered, Su Miao slandered in his heart.
At this moment, the crowded crowd suddenly began to run in the same direction in front of them, and a noisy sound that was even more lively than just now sounded, attracting the attention of Su Miao and Aftertaste, Su Miao took his hand and muttered in surprise:
"What's wrong?"
"Who knows." Aftertaste took her hand, held her in his arms, and frowned, "Don't run around, be careful of being squeezed down." ”
"Where can I run if you hold me like this." Su Miao crooked in his arms, flattened her mouth, but laughed.
There are too many people, and they are all rushing in one direction, and it will be dangerous if they go against the grain at this time, so they will take Su Miao to avoid the crowd, and walk in the direction where people are going.
And behind them, behind a stall not far away, two heads that were covered by Mi Li's entire face quietly poked out, staring straight in the direction where Su Miao and Huiwei left, and the two pairs of eyes were full of resentment and annoyance, attracting frequent sideways glances from the stall owner. After a while, the young man in the straight shirt took the lead in lifting the hat, revealing a face like a flower and jade, and he frowned and complained:
"Third sister, it's too embarrassing for us to be so sneaky, right?"
"You know what? Remembering that guy is going to do bad things if he doesn't let us do bad things, I definitely can't let him succeed! Su Chan clenched her fists in displeasure.
"That's right, but why should we be sneaky, we haven't done anything bad, what are we afraid of!" Su Yan looked puzzled, although he wanted to follow the second sister to protect the second sister, but let him wear the eyebrows and mouse eyes of a thief like a girl, and his fragile self-esteem couldn't bear it.
Su Chan glanced at his unproductive appearance, snorted from his nose, and said unhappily:
"You're not afraid, you're not afraid, you just go up and tell the aftertaste that guy you want to go with them!"
Su Yan hesitated for a while, not that he didn't want to, but the last time he went on a date with them without the consent of Retrospective, Retrospective didn't say anything at the time, but he had a pretty miserable life in the three months since then...... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, the past was unbearable!
So Su Yan honestly put on the power again, followed his third sister, and continued to sneakily go forward.
Su Miaohe aftertaste with the crowded crowd came to a very lively restaurant, according to the aftertaste, this is one of the most well-known restaurants in the commercial street outside the Liangdu City, Baiyulou is built in the Liangdu City to the transportation hub to various places, therefore, this restaurant containing the dual functions of inn and restaurant is very prosperous and famous in the local area, but in fact, Baiyulou made a fortune from the restaurant in the early years, in recent years, because of the impact of the developed restaurant industry in Liangdu, the profits of this part of the catering have plummeted, The restaurant is also unable to invest a large amount of money to support the catering industry of the restaurant, so it simply focuses on the accommodation in the restaurant, because the location is good, and there is an endless stream of guests from the south to the north, and the accommodation business does not have to worry, but because Bai Yulou is making a fortune from food after all, although the business is not bad, but the accommodation industry is noisy for the catering industry, and the shopkeeper of Bai Yulou has a sense of unwillingness to be forced to submit, and he wants to restore Bai Yulou's prestige in catering countless times. However, every effort was soft and did not have much effect, until this time, Bai Yulou once again played a delicious sign to tempt the guests-
The first Baiyulou Meatloaf Challenge is announced to be started at this moment!
The so-called meatloaf challenge is actually the big stomach challenge, there is a row of tables and chairs at the door of Baiyulou, not far away, a person is surrounded by a full eight cauldrons, a person has two hands and eight cauldrons, and the person is cooking the meatloaf in the eight pots at the same time with his hands and feet. The cooking man is about his early twenties, short in stature, lively in temperament, it seems that he should be a person from the southwest, very southwestern-looking, dark-skinned, sharp and capable, wearing a linen short brown, two legs tied with snow-white leggings, a pair of straw sandals on the feet, hair like a messy grass, but because of his outstanding facial features and young age, he did not think he was sloppy, but had a kind of unruly youthful vitality.
The young man cooked the meatloaf in eight pots in turn, well-trained and well-organized, without the slightest panic, as if it were a very easy task to bake the pancakes in eight pots at the same time, because it seemed too easy, but it gave people a sense of unease, for fear that one of them would overturn the pot or throw all the meatloaf to the ground.
Su Miao was also worried for a while, but after a quarter of an hour, she found that she was skillful and calm, and then she realized that she was just worrying about it.
Bai Yulou held the Big Stomach King Challenge today, which means that no matter how you eat the meatloaf baked today, as long as you eat the most meatloaf, the winner will give a gift.
According to the rules of the competition, the final winner can choose three things in the gift pile, regardless of high and low, as long as you can win, you can get the gift of the champion.
Su Miao wanted the most expensive of the gifts - a bag of gold leaves, although she was not short of money, but gold leaves were worth more than other jewelry, she always believed this.
What Su Chan wanted was something special in the gift pile, a dagger inlaid with various gems and glittering enough to make people dazzle.
So when the shopkeeper Qiu announced the start of the game, Su Miao and Su Chan went up.
Aftertaste, Su Yan: "......" (to be continued.) )
