Tie Niu is now more sane, the day before Zhuang Xiaochu and the others left, Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiao Qi took turns to explain to Tie Niu over and over again: "We have to take Moon Shadow out to do something, we can't take you there, I'll be back after a while." Don't make a fuss. ”

Although Tie Niu is still a little confused, the strange thing is that every time the owner tells him something, he can understand it as if he understands it.

So when the owner of the village left, he didn't make trouble. After leaving, he still got up every day to practice with the children, but every time he stood in the position of Xiao Yueying to practice, he couldn't pull away.

After eating, he stayed at the door of the owner's room, or went to the door of the room where Aunt Hua and Moon Shadow lived, as if waiting for Little Moon Shadow to come back. When the people in the village saw that he didn't make trouble, they followed him.

Originally, it only took a day and a half to get from Yancheng to the state capital, but Zhuang Xiaochu and his party walked for two and a half days. Stayed on the way for two nights.

The opening of the inn is also a problem, in order to reduce the conflict, Zhuang Xiaochu does not live in a room with Xiao Qi, nor does he live in a room with Chunxi, and still lives in a room with the old gentleman. Zhuang Xiaochu said: "The journey is tiring, and I am happy to rest and rest. ”

When I arrived at the state capital, the county magistrate's family was already prepared, and packed up a clean courtyard, the courtyard was elegant, there were more than ten side rooms in the main house, and flowers and plants were planted in the middle of the courtyard, and the courtyard was also very close to the mansion of the county magistrate Sun.

There are six main rooms, one for the old gentleman, one for Chunxi Xiaoqi, one for the old Lu Zhu and the fourth, one for the old lady and the moon shadow, and one for the big husband.

Zhuang Xiaochu asked, "Where do I live?"

Lao Lu and Zhu Laosi squeezed their eyebrows: "You still rob us? “

"Aren't you going to the room of the Seventh Lady and Little Lady? You take turns to live in the two rooms. ”

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "You did it on purpose. ”

The others found their own places to settle down. The old lady and Brother Sun went to live at the county magistrate's house.

In the evening, the county magistrate Sun's family feasted the brothers of Huazizhuang in Mingyuelou, the most upscale restaurant in the state capital, and the old and young had seven or eight tables, and simply took down the second floor.

Mingyue Building is a high-end restaurant, and the decoration is naturally magnificent. The food in the hotel is also high-end: flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, and swimming in the water,...... Each dish is not only full of color and fragrance, but also beautiful in shape, with the bottom of the cup made of pumpkin hollow carving, the rose made of red heart radish that makes people unbearable, and the small lantern carved with yellow pepper and red pepper......

At the end of the dish, a large plate of roasted brown and browned suckling pig was served, the little suckling pig was smeared with honey and sesame seeds, and the pepper salt and chili flakes were smeared on the other.

There are also two kinds of sauce on the side of the plate, a sweet and sour jam and a salty bean paste. Sweet dip in some jam. Spicy dipping in soy sauce. When you taste it, it is crispy on the outside, soft and glutinous on the inside, and there is a layer of sauce dipped on the outside. Everyone said: Strange.

The child loves sweets, Xiao Yueying and Wen Lan ate something else, and one of them gnawed a large piece of honey sesame suckling pig, and played in the hotel. Moon Shadow muttered for a while that Wen Lan's hands were not set up properly, and for a while that his legs were not bent enough, Wen Lan had a gentle temperament, and he was not angry at how Moon Shadow fiddled with him, and the two of them had a lot of fun.

Everyone is not only full of mouths, but also full of eyes, and it is enough to be proud for three months just after this meal is back in the village. Even Lai's second daughter-in-law was amazed while noting down the methods and tastes of each dish. I just want to keep all these delicacies between my tongue and seal them in my memory, so that I can go back and concoct them for my brothers to eat.

The four adults of County Magistrate Sun's family, plus the old gentleman, Zhuang Xiaochu, Xiao Qi, and Chunxi happened to sit at a table. County Magistrate Sun chatted with Zhuang Xiaochu and the old gentleman.

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Brother Xian, in the end, it is much more prosperous than our small county. The brothers have opened their eyes. The brothers have little knowledge, don't blame Brother Sun. ”

"Wherever and where, the brothers are straightforward and honest, I really envy and like it. County Magistrate Sun drank more wine and talked a little more than usual:

"To be honest, it's still not as good as Huazizhuang, the village is unrestrained, free, the place is big, there are many people, and the brothers are straightforward and straightforward, and it's too pleasant to stay. ”

"I'm glad you're here. Come on, come on, have another drink. Wait for me to be busy with the official business at hand tomorrow, and I will have a few days to play around with you. ”

Mrs. Sun said, "Tomorrow I will lead everyone to walk around the streets, eat snacks, and buy things." When Xiao Qi Chunxi heard that he was shopping on the street, he was overjoyed. (From ancient times to the present, is there a woman who doesn't like to shop?)

Mrs. Sun said, "The courtyard where you live was bought with the money you sent to the car last time." We gave you that money, but it was returned. I used this money to buy this small courtyard, you just think it is your own, live with confidence, and live as long as you want. Later, the brothers of the village came and lived here. Everyone just had an extra place to live. Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to bring some fruits and vegetables. ”

Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Is this a special fund?"

The Sun family and his wife said in unison: "That's what it means. ”

Xiao Qi said: "We just brought Lai's second daughter-in-law over, and let the melons, fruits and vegetables be brought to us and we can watch and buy them ourselves." ”

Mrs. Sun is no longer polite.

Wen Lan and Moon Shadow are having fun, and they must go to his sister's house. Xiao Qi agreed, went back and asked Aunt Hua to pack up her things, and Xiao Yueying went to Sun's house with Mrs. Sun. The vacant room was occupied by Lotus Sister-in-law and Hongyu, and Lotus Sister-in-law said: "Hongyu and I are also team leaders, and we should live in one room." Zhuang Xiaochu retorted wordlessly, and it may be that he is in the middle of it.

That night, Zhuang Xiaochu stayed in the small seventh room.

The next day of the appointment, Mrs. Sun took everyone shopping. Early in the morning, Mrs. Sun brought breakfast with someone. The porridge is boiled by the chef of Sunfu with the new stem rice sent by the owner, and it is filled with diced lean meat, fresh lotus leaves, and some mung beans, which is extremely fragrant. The cake is bought in a cake shop that is the first cake in the world, and the taste of bean paste and jujube paste and blood lotus root is also a must. The side dishes are bought by Sauce Xiangzhai, four dishes and four kinds: sour and crispy sour bamboo shoots, spicy cucumbers, braised duck shreds, braised peanuts, very appetizing.

The brothers hurried to eat and packed up. The old gentleman didn't want to go to the street, saying that shopping was too tiring, so it was better to fiddle with flowers and plants in the yard. Lai's second daughter-in-law and the two mothers-in-law sent by Sun Fu went to buy melons, fruits and vegetables to prepare dinner for the evening. Moon Shadow and Wen Ling play with the old lady in the Sun Mansion. The rest of the group went out into the streets.
