Volume 4 The Envoy Chapter 13 Go to the Four Seasons to Eat
Bei Juese raised his eyes and looked at the spectacular human dragon in front of him, frowning. With so many people surrounding the road, how can you smoothly rush through the encirclement and squeeze into the store?
While he was thinking, Meng Qing had already bravely pushed away the human dragon with a bow left and right, and walked straight towards the gate of Sijixiang. She ignored the angry gazes of everyone as she pushed, turned back to the north, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, come here!" β
was pushed by her like this, and the crowds that were originally neatly lined up became chaotic, and people began to push and scold each other.
In the midst of the commotion, a few drops of cold sweat fell from his forehead, and Bei Jue quickly burrowed into the crowd and squeezed towards the culprit Meng Qing.
When a few of them were about to squeeze to the door of Sijixiang, a loud male voice came out of the store: "Who is so bold to make trouble in front of Lao Tzu's store?" β
Hey? This voice is not ordinary to the ear.
Bei Juese hurriedly looked up at the door of the store, only to see a young man with his eyes looking up, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, wearing a white folding hat and flowing white clothes slowly walking out of the store. That arrogant posture is like a hibiscus coming from Lingbo!
Seeing the man, Bei's eyes immediately widened.
The hibiscus man's gaze swept towards the north, his eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened into a circle.
The two cried out in surprise at the same time:
"Song Gongbao!"
"Little Beibei!"
That hibiscus man is none other than Song Gongbao, the boss of Sijixiang!
Song Gongbao was pleasantly surprised to push away the people blocking the front of the store, strode in front of Bei Juese, grabbed his hand and said, "Xiao Beibei, when did you arrive in the capital?" As he spoke, he asked for a few handfuls of them.
However, Song Gongbao only had time to touch someone's little hand, and Dong Wuyi, who was standing behind Bei Juese, had already pulled Bei Juese's hand back with a black face, and at the same time put the half-sheathed sword against Song Gongbao's neck, and said coldly: "It's not polite to touch you again." β
Song Gongbao glanced at Dong Wuving, snorted and said, "Dong Wuving, you are still so annoying!" He stretched out a finger and pushed away the sword around his neck, turned his head and looked at Bei with a smile on his face, "Little Beibei, let's leave this nasty ghost alone, come, let's go to the upstairs wing room to gather the old!" β
Bei Juese hurriedly pointed to the few people who followed behind him and said, "They are also with me." β
Song Gongbao showed a friendly smile to the others and said, "Xiao Beibei's friend is also my friend of Song, everyone come with me." Except for you! He glanced at Dong Wuyi with a cold eye, "You are not welcome in my store." β
Dong Wushu narrowed his eyes and looked at Song Gongbao, who raised his chin and looked back with contempt. The-for-tat gaze of the two started a fight in the air! Bei Juese hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Dong Invincible's sleeve, and said softly: "Senior brother, many viewers are watching from behind, don't act rashly." At the same time, he glanced at Meng Qing.
Meng Qing came to her senses, showed an innocent and sweet smile, stepped forward and said to Song Gongbao: "This handsome and handsome big brother, I heard that the cave plum blossom buns in your store are delicious, and there are also, except for the buns, the other dishes are the most delicious in the capital, is it true?" β
Thousands of wears, sycophants are not worn, it is an eternal truth. Hearing Meng Qing say this, Song Gongbao, who was fighting with Dong Invincible, suddenly became tolerant, he looked at Meng Qing with a smile and said, "This little sister is really knowledgeable!" He shouted at the store: "Little Liu! β
A young man dressed as a junior in a high-end store immediately stood in front of Song Gongbao: "What does the boss command?" β
Song Gongbao said: "Take all the distinguished guests to the upstairs wing!" Remember, you must use the best dragon well before the rain to entertain your guests, and you can't slack off! He turned around and smiled at Bei Jue, "Xiao Beibei, I'll cook some delicious food for you myself!" After saying that, he asked the shopkeeper to take them upstairs, and went into the kitchen to cook vegetables and make steamed buns.
The shopkeeper invited them into the upstairs wing.
Inside the wings, the furnishings are very luxurious.
An elaborate wooden arch carved with lifelike beasts and exotic flowers divides the spacious wing into a vestibule and a vestibule, and on the left and right sides of the arch is placed a half-man tall cloisonnΓ© vase painted with fairies scattering flowers, and behind the arch hangs royal blue brocade; On the walls to the left and right of the inner hall hung a landscape picture framed with carved black wood, a thick dark red soft carpet on the floor, a large round table that could seat a dozen people was covered with blue brocade, and each round table was also covered with round soft cushions of the same pattern and color, hanging from golden tassels.
This chamber, with its luxury and meticulousness, cannot be compared with any other place in the palace of the Nam Mian king. Meng Qing opened her eyes wide and looked left and right, looking at every decoration in the wing, and couldn't help but curiously stepped forward and touched a few carvings on the arches.
The shopkeeper smiled and invited everyone to sit down, then turned to the corner and lit the charcoal stove, and put a copper kettle with a long mouth on the charcoal stove. While waiting for the water to boil, the shopkeeper put out the teacups and chopsticks with lids for everyone, and then took out a turquoise porcelain jar, opened it, and used a wooden spoon to pick up the tea leaves in the jar and pour them into each teacup. When the tea leaves are poured, the water in the copper kettle is boiled.
The boiling water was poured into the teacup, and the rising heat brought the quiet fragrance of tea, which soon overflowed every corner of the room.
The shopkeeper poured the tea, and Song Gongbao also brought in a few shopkeepers holding large wooden plates. Soon, there were several baskets of delicate cave plum buns and many exquisite pastries on the table, and those pastries were more beautiful than the other, like a flawless work of art, and people couldn't help but feel the desire to destroy its perfection when they saw it. However, the aroma of the buns and pastries repeatedly got into the nose, tempting the slander worms in the stomach to crawl around desperately.
Song Gongbao greeted everyone with a bright smile and said, "You're welcome, eat it while it's hot." β
After hesitating for a moment, everyone picked up their chopsticks at the same time and stretched them out to different plates - except for Dong Wuving.
Meng Qing suddenly picked up a bun from the small steamer, and was about to stuff it into her mouth impatiently, Bei Juese saw that she wanted to stop her, but she had already bitten down, and the hot soup in the bun scalded her to the point that she jumped up, and the bun was also thrown aside by her.
Song Gongbao looked at Meng Qing's embarrassment and laughed. After laughing, he patiently told Meng Qing the key to eating plum blossom buns in the cave, and also demonstrated it himself. Throughout the explanation and demonstration process, his attitude was as kind as a big brother next door. This rare kindness made Bei Juese feel very uncomfortable watching from the sidelines.
However, that discomfort was quickly dispelled by a table full of pastries and buns.
