Chapter 299 Go to Guangzhou for morning tea

"It's good to have money, let's go, let's go in...... Morning tea! ”

Lin Xiao said confidently, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, it wasn't his fault that he didn't have money, but he had a fiancée, and the Gu family didn't have the good character that a man should have.

"Yes, sir."

Of course, Situ Zheng would not laugh at him, in his opinion, it was precisely because of this little bit that their commander-in-chief was more amiable and less cold.

The two of them immediately entered the restaurant, there were few customers in the store, and they all looked like people with a little money or a bit of status from their clothes.

Xiao Er was very enthusiastic, hurriedly stepped forward, led the two of them to a table near the window, nodded and said, "Second master, what kind of snacks do you want?" ”

Lin Xiao couldn't understand pure Cantonese, and all the speaking work was handled by Situ Zheng, which was one of the reasons why he had to take He Shouxin or Situ Zheng with him when he went out.

"This second floor, can't you go up?" Situ Zheng looked at the stairs and asked casually.

Xiao Er bowed down and said with a smile: "This lord, the second floor is a private room, and it is generally open until noon...... It's all in the lobby on the ground floor, so it's lively, isn't it? ”

"Okay...... A cup of good tea, two bowls of bamboo noodles, and a drawer of dry steaming. ”

Situ Zheng has been to Guangzhou many times before, and he is no stranger to drinking morning tea.

"Okay, a cup of fragrant tea, two pieces of dim sum......"

Xiao Er shouted loudly and ran to the back kitchen, the world is not good, the restaurant business is a little deserted, as long as there are guests coming, he always seems more excited than the shopkeeper.

In this era, the wealthy people in Guangzhou have regarded drinking morning tea as a way to talk about things at breakfast, and they are accustomed to calling drinking tea "sigh tea".

Of course, the real morning tea culture, drinking morning tea as a leisure way to talk about the world and pass the time, has not yet risen at this time, and this will not gradually become popular until the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty.

……

Lin Xiao sat outside the window, and the movement on the street fell on his field of vision.

The number of people on the streets is gradually increasing, but there are few people who actually wander around the streets, either passers-by who are in a hurry or some who are slow to move with vegetables.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many signs under various guises, but several of them have their doors on the panels, and I don't know whether they have not yet opened for business, or they have already blown out the lights and pulled out the wax rolls to cover the shops and left.

It seems that although Shang Kexi has tightly covered the news of the tight war ahead, there are still many merchants with a keen sense of smell who have quietly hid in the countryside with their families to avoid trouble, and those who remain are either bold or have no sources.

In addition to the regular shops, there are many street vendors with simple sheds, some selling mountain goods, some selling breakfast, some putting a basket at their feet to sell vegetables, and a few porters, who are squatting at the street entrance with a sluggish face, waiting for the work to come to the door.

There was a little girl in shabby clothes, but petite and delicate, fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a few bouquets of flowers in her hands and walking back and forth at the intersection, and timidly shouting a few times when she saw people passing by.

Spring comes early in the south, and all kinds of wild flowers bloom everywhere on the hillsides outside the city, and the rich families generally raise flowers in their own homes, and they are so poor that they don't even have money to buy flowers for food, so the little girl's flowers are almost unwanted, but she doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and has been going back and forth there.

……

After a while, the refreshments came up, the taste of Zhusheng noodles was good, the thin noodles were crispy and springy, full of toughness, and the soup was probably pork bone and shrimp roe soup, which was delicious.

The hungry Lin Xiao ate up a bowl of noodles in a few sucks, he had a lot of worries in the past few days, and he hadn't eaten well, and he finally felt hungry today.

Dry steaming is pork grains mixed with fresh shrimp trapped, the chef's skills are not bad, the seasoning of the ingredients is just right, the skin is thin and the meat is cool, the fragrant and unique flavor, this kind of dry steaming is called siu mai in Lin Xiao's hometown, and it is probably one of the ordinary dim sum that is available everywhere.

After eating the snack, Lin Xiao and Situ Zheng sat and tasted tea slowly, the tea is flower tea, it smells very fragrant but the taste is average, Lin Xiao doesn't like the taste of this kind of tea, he has been used to drinking green tea from his hometown since he was a child, and he is a little addicted to other teas.

At this moment, a group of people came from the east and rushed into the store.

The leading young man in Chinese clothes sat at a table and shouted in a northeastern accent: "Xiao Er, it's slippery, and the good wine and food are served to the uncle......

Lin Xiao looked up and saw that there were seven or eight people coming, and the leader looked less than twenty years old, wearing a warm hat and dragging a long, shiny braid behind his head.

This man was dressed in a satin cotton suit that was very bright, but a long young face was frighteningly pale, a pair of eyes were dull, and two lips without a trace of blood were as thin as paper, indicating that this was a man of little affection.

The followers behind him were not very old, all dressed in black tight-fitting short clothes, several of them carried Pu knives in their waists, and each of them dragged a rat tail, looking like a family member.

The second child of the restaurant glanced at the shopkeeper with some uncertainty, this early in the morning, there is such a large group of plague gods...... Listening to the accent and looking at the dress, eighty percent are Tartars, so they won't come to eat the overlord meal, right?

The shopkeeper in the counter hurriedly walked over, bowed down and said with a smile: "Several masters, this early morning...... Drink wine and eat meat...... Not quite right? ”

An older attendant who followed the young man closely immediately shouted viciously: "What are you talking about! Blind your dog's eyes, this is the young master of our Dutong family, today I deigned to go to your shop, you still dare to talk about it, you are impatient, right? ”

"Uh...... The villain doesn't dare, doesn't dare. ”

The shopkeeper laughed again and again, but he was puzzled in his heart, the young master of the general's family? Why did you come here early in the morning...... This is completely unreasonable.

"Forget it,"

The young man waved his hand expressionlessly, yawned, and said lazily, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll reward him with a few bones." ”

"Yes, young master."

The attendant smiled and took out a small ingot, slapped it on the table reluctantly, and said, "Now, in the morning, can you still drink wine and eat meat?" ”

"Can you ...... Please wait a moment, uncle,"

The shopkeeper saw it clearly at a glance, and there were about five taels of silver on the table, so he immediately bent over and pouted his buttocks and smiled, "No wonder I heard the magpie cry early in the morning, it turned out that there were distinguished guests visiting the shop, which really made the shop shine." ”

After speaking, he immediately turned to Xiao Er and said, "Quick, ask the chef to hurry up and make a table of good dishes for the guests to taste, neatly." ”

"Okay." Xiao Er ran quickly.

It takes time to stir-fry, so Xiao Er quickly brought up the wine pot and wine cup first, and sifted a cup for the young man with great eyesight, and said with a smile: "Master, you use it slowly." ”

Immediately, Xiao Er left a few wine cups in the tray and bowed down.

(Question: Lin Xiao took Situ Zheng and them to Guangzhou overnight, what did they want to do?) ）

Thanks: Book friends are "particularly shy" for the reward! Thank you!
