Chapter 235: Life Encounters Are Wonderful
Jizhou City is a place that brings together people from the south to the north, and also brings together the food from the south to the north, if it weren't for the chaos in the world, Jizhou should be much more prosperous than now.
This is the first important town in the north, whether it is commercial or military, there is no city in the entire north that can be compared with the importance, even if it is the administrative hierarchy of Dachu, Youzhou, which has the same weight, and Yanzhou, which is further east, cannot be compared with Jizhou.
This snack bar opposite Yunzhai Teahouse, the owner and his wife are both from Yangzhou, located in the southeast of the thirteen states of Dachu, if it is walked, it may take more than a year to walk from Yangzhou to Jizhou.
So think about it, this is a very wonderful thing, in the north of Jizhou can eat the famous rice noodles in the south of Yangzhou, and it is very authentic, in such an era is really a rare thing.
The shopkeeper was an old man who looked to be about fifty years old, his hair was gray, but his body was exceptionally strong, his cuffs were pulled high, and the muscles on his forearms seemed to rise and fall rhythmically when he worked.
"Li Gongzi?!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up after seeing Li Qi, he hadn't seen Li Qi for several days, and he heard that Li Qi would never come to Yunzhai Teahouse to tell stories again, so it was inevitable that there were some regrets, Li Gongzi used to be a frequent visitor here, and he was very easy-going, in the eyes of the shopkeeper, a young man like Li Gongzi was commendable.
"Uncle Liu."
Li Qi greeted with a smile, and after finding a place to sit down, he asked Gao Xining, "What do you want to eat?" ”
After asking, he hurriedly asked Ruoling: "What about you?" ”
Ruoling looked at Gao Xining and said, "I will eat whatever Miss eats, I have a small amount of rice, and a small bowl is enough." ”
Gao Xining said: "Then eat rice noodles, I want meat foam rice noodles, and I want pot helmets, meat pot helmets, two!" ”
Ruo Ling said: "I'll do the same." ”
Li Qi immediately looked at Uncle Liu and said, "Then three bowls of rice noodles with meat foam and six meat pot helmets." ”
This is a kind of fusion of eating in places other than the place of origin, for example, when you eat meat foam rice noodles in Yangzhou, the authentic rice noodle shop will never have Yongzhou's special snack pot helmet, and you must not be able to eat rice noodles from Yangzhou in the pot helmet shop in Yongzhou, because there are other things, it seems that this thing is not authentic in the place of origin, but you can eat both in the rice noodle shop in Jizhou, and it is perfectly integrated, the only thing that can be comparable to this fusion is that you can also eat meat and rice noodles in the pot helmet shop in Jizhou.
Everything that goes out of its place of origin can be bent and stretched in another place.
Uncle Liu, the shopkeeper, brought rice noodles to Li Qi, and each person sent a small amount of noodles, and each person sent an extra pot helmet, and added a plate of cold dishes.
"This ......"
Li Qi hurriedly got up: "Thank you, Uncle Liu." ”
Uncle Liu said with a smile: "Don't thank me, Gongzi Li often takes care of me, and I do business opposite the Yunzhai Teahouse, I have listened to how many good stories Li Gongzi has told, it should be that I thank you, and the other is ...... I may have to leave Jizhou tomorrow and go back to my hometown in Yangzhou, which is a small gift before parting. ”
Li Qi was taken aback, and he asked: "In such a world, there is a lot of commotion outside the city, why do you want to leave?" ”
Although Uncle Liu was still smiling, there was more than half of the bitterness in his smile.
He lowered his voice and said to Li Qi: "All the grain stores in the city can hardly buy the food they need, and I can't make rice noodles, it is said that it is an order from Prince Yu's mansion, all grain stores are not allowed to sell a large amount of grain to shops like us, and the people can only buy grain for a few catties and a few catties
The war is going to be fought, think about it, I have been away from Yangzhou for 30 years, if everyone will eventually die, it is better to go back to my hometown. ”
He looked at the rice noodles on the table and said: "I have no ability, so I can only make some food to eat, so I can give Li Gongzi a parting gift, but these bowls of rice noodles and a few pot helmets, I will be full for a while, Li Gongzi don't settle the bill, otherwise we have to prevaricate and resign, it's not worth it." ”
Li Qi hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you Uncle Liu." ”
Uncle Liu smiled and nodded, he looked at the Yunzhai teahouse opposite and said: "Mrs. Sun came to eat rice noodles with me yesterday, saying that you won't go to her side in the future. ”
Li Qi smiled a little ashamedly, and he didn't know how to explain it, he couldn't say to Uncle Liu that I didn't come to the book because I was going to fight in the future, that is, the kind of big scene frame you are afraid of, a group fight.
"And how do you get there?"
Li Qi asked.
Liu Bodao: "There is a donkey at home, there is a wooden car, anyway, you don't need to bring any furniture or anything like that, just go out of the store, travel lightly, and I don't know if I can walk home alive." ”
Li Qi was silent again, because Uncle Liu's worries were not unreasonable, now there are rebellions everywhere in this great Chu River, the people in the big city are better, and the people in the small city have no sense of security.
"Uncle Liu, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Li Qi looked at Uncle Liu and said: "Wait for two or three years, Jizhou will not be so chaotic in two or three years, and you don't have to worry about meeting rebels and rogues when you go out of the city, believe me." ”
Liu Bo was stunned: "What I'm afraid of is that Jizhou can't be saved...... In another two or three years, will it really be like what Li Gongzi said, Jizhou will be peaceful? ”
"Yes."
Li Qi lowered his voice and said: "You forget, what I'm best at is not storytelling, what I'm best at is fortune-telling and looking, whether you want to go back to Yangzhou or not, wait for two or three years, from now on to buy a little grain every day, don't buy it in a store, the grain stores in the city rotate to go, there are dozens of grain stores in Jizhou, rotate a circle and then continue to buy, they can't remember what you look like, so save it slowly, don't waste it, try to save, and get through it in the next year to two years, it's a good day coming." ”
Uncle Liu nodded hurriedly, he really admired Li Gongzi.
After Uncle Liu left, Gao Xining lowered his voice and asked Li Qi: "Do you really think that in the next two or three years, Jizhou will get better?" ”
Li Qi nodded: "Really, if Prince Yu makes a move, if he can't fight the south in two or three years, at least Jizhou will be stabilized, and there will be no rebels in his territory, if he loses, there will definitely be someone who will stand up and take Prince Yu's place in two or three years to appease the entire Jizhou." ”
Gao Xining snorted, what she thought of was that if Prince Yu lost, how many people in this city would have their dreams shattered, how many people would be unlucky, and even her grandfather would have to show loyalty to Prince Yu's mansion, which was involuntarily.
"I'll never be able to eat rice noodles like this again."
Ruoling felt that it was a pity, she hesitated for a while, and finally overcame her reserve, she just said that she had a small amount of food, and girls ate in front of outsiders, how many of them said that they had a large amount of food.
But when she thought that she wouldn't be able to eat it in the future, Ruoling felt sad, she looked at Uncle Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, let's have three more bowls." ”
Yunzhai Teahouse, Mrs. Sun got down from the carriage with the child in her arms, she didn't notice that Li Qi was on the other side, she glanced at the little girl standing at the window after entering the door, and smiled: "Xiruo, why are you standing here?" Had breakfast
Not? ”
The little girl hurriedly said, "Boss, I haven't eaten yet, I'm thinking about what to eat." ”
Mrs. Sun said: "Uncle Liu's rice noodles on the other side are delicious, you haven't eaten them yet, have you?" You can go and taste it, I invite you to eat. ”
The little girl called Xiruo immediately asked: "I just saw a young man I haven't seen before going in to eat, and Uncle Liu on the other side seems to be very familiar with him, and he seems to be enthusiastic when he speaks, who is that?" ”
Mrs. Sun was stunned, and hurriedly looked at the other side: "Could it be that my baby is his father?" Baby's dad is back?! ”
Xi Ruo's face changed, at that moment, she had already come up with a love story that involved a thousand turns and ethics in her mind, of course she had seen the shopkeeper Sun, but Mrs. Sun said that it was the baby and his father, and Xi Ruo's first reaction was that this father was his own father? The second reaction was that Shopkeeper Sun was so pitiful, the third reaction was that Mrs. Sun must really love that guy, and the fourth reaction was ...... That guy is a fucking scumbag!
Because he just entered the opposite shop with that thief, isn't he a scumbag?!
Mrs. Sun is so pitiful, Shopkeeper Sun is so pitiful, and the child can't be more pitiful.
Mrs. Sun was in a hurry, and she didn't think of explaining anything at all, she ran out of the Yunzhai teahouse with the child in her arms, and went straight to the snack shop opposite, running a little eagerly.
At this time, the shopkeeper Sun moved things out of the carriage, carrying the things that the child wanted to use in both hands and walked into the teahouse, and when he saw Mrs. Sun running to the opposite side, he hurriedly instructed: "Run slower, slower, don't fall." ”
If Xi Ruo saw that Shopkeeper Sun loved his wife so much, but his wife actually treated him like this, the anger in her heart couldn't help but rise.
After Shopkeeper Sun entered the door, he saw Xiruo and smiled: "Xiruo girl, morning." ”
Xi Ruo said: "The owner is early, and the lady has gone to the opposite shop." ”
Shopkeeper Sun said: "See, I'm not afraid of falling when I run so fast, I'm already a mother, and I'm still so frizzy." ”
Xi Ruo endured it several times, but finally couldn't help it, she looked at the shopkeeper Sun and said, "Madam said that the child's father was eating opposite, so he ...... You try not to get too angry, I'll go with you. ”
"Huh?"
Shopkeeper Sun thought for a while, and he asked, "Isn't his father here, ah?!" It's that kid's father, I'm also over, he left without saying a few words last time, which made me awkward for a few days, he's a person, he just leaves, he doesn't care about the child and her mother, doesn't he care about me, doesn't he care about the child. ”
After speaking, he hurriedly ran towards the snack shop opposite, almost as eager as Mrs. Sun ran over.
Standing there stunned, she really couldn't understand what kind of complex and integrated feelings this was, as if the rice noodles that should have been in Yangzhou were matched with Yongzhou's pot helmet, exuding a charming fragrance on the territory of Jizhou.
"So...... So harmonious? ”
She stood there watching, thinking about it, and feeling that she might not be able to stand the image of this story.
Then he saw Mrs. Sun waving to her on the other side and shouting, "Come here, I'll introduce you to the child's father." ”
Xiruo gritted his teeth, and his heart said to go.
She limped past.
Li Qi sneered, and said in his heart that I don't know if you bought the bone-setting pills.
Gao Xining had already gotten up and ran over, she saw the little girl walking, and just wanted to go over and help her back.
