Volume 1 Escape Chapter 8 The Four Seasons Fragrance of the Famous Store in Beijing
Le Longyang, who was afraid that his life would be in danger, did not dare to delay a little time on the road in order to get the antidote as soon as possible, so he ordered two bodyguards to take turns to catch the car and rush to the capital day and night. After exhausting eight horses and changing four carriages, Bei Juese, who was still asleep one day, was woken up by Le Longyang. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Le Longyang's face that was very close and smiled very flatteringly.
Without waiting for Bei Jue to speak, Le Longyang nodded and said, "Bei Shaoxia, you have already arrived in the capital." ”
Hearing him say this, Bei Juese quickly turned over and sat up, opened the curtain and looked out. Outside the carriage was a wide street that could allow at least four carriages to walk at the same time, and the horses' hooves made a crisp sound of "Dede" on the bluestone paved ground. On both sides of the street, there are willow trees planted every two meters or so, and those willow trees just grow tender new branches, and at a glance, the two long rows of willow trees that line up to the end of the street show a tender green color, which is very beautiful.
It's the first time I've seen such a long and wide street. Not only that, but the number of carriages passing through this street now combined was more than he had seen in the last ten years. There were also various types of shops on both sides of the street, and there were so many of them that he was dazzled just by looking at them; There were all sorts of people walking around the streets, dressed like he had never seen before; There is also the smell of the surroundings, which smells very different! The bustling capital makes the northern stunning scenery that has never been far away feel very novel. He pressed his head to the window and watched everything outside the car with his eyes wide open, as if he would miss something. Although he was looking at the scenery outside the car, he didn't know that he had become another scenery, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.
It wasn't until Le Longyang in the car repeatedly shouted "Bei Shaoxia" that he reluctantly took his head back.
Le Longyang accompanied the smiling face, and said cautiously: "Bei Shaoxia, the capital has arrived, now you can give the villain an antidote, right?" ”
"Solution...... Antidote? Bei Juese didn't expect to arrive in the capital so soon, and he hadn't figured out what to use to pretend to be an antidote. Now that he was asked by Le Longyang, he honestly didn't know how to answer at once, but fortunately, his stomach sounded a few times at this time.
Le Longyang hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said: "Northern Shaoxia has traveled all the way to the capital, and the villain should first wash the dust for Shaoxia and do his best as a landlord." ”
After speaking, he walked to the front of the car and instructed the bodyguards outside through the curtain: "Go to Shijixiang immediately." ”
After Le Longyang instructed the bodyguards, he nodded his head and said to Bei Juese: "Bei Shaoxia, if you don't come to the capital and don't go to Sijixiang, you won't be considered to have come to the capital, and the villain will take you to see and see!" Although he had already come to the capital, Le Longyang was still afraid that he would accidentally provoke Bei Juese, and he was afraid that he would not give the antidote, so he had to wait carefully.
Seeing that Le Longyang had such a good performance, Bei Juese hung up a smile that he thought he was doing nothing, but in fact, he knew that he was weak at a glance, and said, "There is Brother Lao Le." ”
Although Le Longyang saw the reluctance in his smile, when he thought that his little life was still in the hands of others, he had to directly ignore it and continue to laugh and flatter, and along the way, he was afraid of being bored and kept talking about Sijixiang: "Sijixiang is the largest, most famous, most expensive, and best business restaurant in the capital, and the dishes in it are so delicious that even the current emperor is full of praise." Its owner and head chef Song Gongbao was born in a family of chefs, and their family began to take root in the capital since their great-great-great-grandfathers, and they were in charge of cooking for wealthy families.
And Song Gongbao once climbed to the position of chief chef, it is said that his cooking skills are more superb than the current imperial chef director in the palace, but because of his hot temper, when he was on an errand in the palace, he looked down on people because of his superb cooking skills, and even his top boss did not give face; And because he was too persistent in the right way of eating, once the emperor wanted to eat the sea bass with mustard dipped in shredded fish, but Song Gong Baofei said that he would use green onions in spring and mustard in autumn to eat the true taste of fish, and resolutely only served green onions and not mustard. As a result, the emperor was unhappy, and the imperial chefs who usually watched the Song Palace not go well also took the opportunity to fall into the ground. So, Song Gongbao was kicked out of the palace, and this Four Seasons Fragrance was opened by him after he left the palace. ”
While speaking, the carriage had already arrived on the street where Shijixiang was located. After the car stopped, Le Longyang first jumped out of the car, and then respectfully greeted Bei Juese.
After getting off the bus, the first thing I saw was a long human dragon, which was at least 200 meters long, from the street to a three-story store with a large plaque with the book "Four Seasons Fragrance" hanging in the middle of the gate.
"Brother Le, what are these people doing?" Bei Juese looked at the human dragon and asked curiously.
Le Longyang said: "They are all waiting to go in and eat steamed buns. The special feature of the four seasons incense is the first in the capital and the first delicacy in the world! ”
Bei Juese had never heard of the term "cave plum blossom buns", he followed behind Le Longyang very curiously, and squeezed to the front of Sijixiang's store under the opening of the way by two bodyguards. Le Longyang used a piece of broken silver to buy a bamboo board with numbers written on it from the person standing in front, and quickly entered the Four Seasons Incense smoothly.
Le Longyang said to the shopkeeper who arranged the seats: "A first-class room. ”
The shopkeeper didn't lift his head and tidied up the bamboo board in his hand, and replied coolly: "No." He gestured to the small table at the bottom of the stairs, "Sit over there, or the next one." ”
The biggest feature of this Four Seasons Fragrance is that no one's account is sold, Song Gongbao is a person who drags even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu, and the shopkeeper trained by him has of course, and he has learned a little bit of truth. If you enter this store, as long as you don't follow the rules of the store and be a good customer, no matter who you are, you will be kicked out. Although this style has caused dissatisfaction among many customers, his Sijixiang things are so delicious that he can't find a second one, so for the sake of food, he can only endure the bad hospitality of Shijixiang.
Le Longyang, who is a frequent customer of Four Seasons Fragrance, knew the style of the store very well, so he had to take Bei Juese to the small table and sit down, and then said to Xiao Er, the shop who poured tea: "Xiao Er, come to Silong Cave Plum Blossom Buns." ”
The little second brother who poured the tea didn't hear Le Longyang's words at all, he just looked directly at the North Jue Se who was looking around curiously, and poured the tea into a table, and the tea was mixed with the saliva that he accidentally flowed out.
"Little Er!" Le Longyang knocked the table in displeasure.
Only then did Xiao Er come back to his senses and take back the teapot, wiped the saliva from his mouth embarrassedly, and asked, "What does Uncle Le want to eat?" ”
Le Longyang said: "Four cages of plum blossom buns." ”
"Okay, right away." After pouring tea, Xiao Er wiped off the table full of tea and ran to the kitchen quickly, as if he was afraid that someone else would rob him of this good errand that could be dedicated.
It didn't take long for the little second brother to run out with a few small bamboo cages on his buttocks, put the small bamboo cages on the table with a flattering smile, and said, "Use it slowly." ”
Le Longyang pushed a bamboo cage in front of Bei Juese, with a smile on his face that was more flattering than that of the little second brother, and said, "Bei Shaoxia, this is the famous cave plum blossom bun of Four Seasons." Come on, while it's hot! ”
The skin of the bun is so thin that it is almost transparent, and you can see the filling and soup inside, and the green vegetable leaves at the bottom of the bamboo cage are as delicate as a blooming chrysanthemum.
I have never seen this kind of steamed bun in the north, looking at a few small delicate buns in the bamboo cage, the raised chopsticks are a little reluctant to clip down. But the tempting aroma of the bun made him swallow a few saliva times, hesitate for a moment, and still stretched out his chopsticks to the basket of steamed buns that looked very delicious.
"Wait." Le Longyang shouted to Bei Jue, "Bei Shaoxia, there is a trick to eating this bun." The cave plum bun is also known as 'soup dumpling', as the name suggests, it is filled with delicious soup. When eating this kind of bun, if the leather clip is broken and the soup inside flows away, it will damage the flavor of the bun; But if you get your tongue burned by the hot soup inside, you won't be able to fully enjoy the best taste of the buns. ”
Isn't it just eating a bun? Why does it sound so complicated? Bei Juese stopped his chopsticks and asked curiously: "Brother Le, how should I eat this bun?" ”
Le Longyang said: "The key to eating steamed buns is: lift gently, move slowly, open the window first, and then suck the soup, a mouthful." ”
Seeing that Bei Juese still didn't understand, Le Longyang picked up the chopsticks and demonstrated: "Gently lift the bun, move it slowly, then take a small bite to absorb the soup inside, and finally eat the bun in one bite." He ate the bun and smacked his lips, "This way you can eat the most delicious cave plum blossom buns." ”
According to Le Longyang's demonstration, Bei Juese carefully picked up a bun, put it to his mouth and took a bite gently. His elegant eating appearance made the people at the nearby tables fascinated, and they forgot to put down the chopsticks when they held them up in the air, so intoxicated that they couldn't taste the world's first delicious bun in their mouths.
Xiu Se, it turns out that it is really edible. Fortunately, the table where Bei Juese was sitting was at the bottom of the stairs, a typical inconspicuous corner position, and Le Longyang was sitting directly opposite it, so it didn't cause a bigger commotion.
Le Longyang is also looking at Bei Jue Se without blinking at the moment, but his kind of gaze has nothing to do with intoxication, amazement, and lust, and is purely a serious gaze appreciating artworks. Regarding his "noble sentiments", which are completely unmoved by his beauty, Le Longyang's heart is not only frightened but also frightened. He clearly remembered every word on the reward order! I have become such a "righteous gentleman" now, all thanks to poisoning!
