Meals are served.

Yuan Xi took a look, there were seven meat and eight vegetables.

There are many varieties and exquisite styles. One of the most striking is the pot of roast duck in the middle. The whole is golden color, without a trace of impurities. Around the roast duck, a small amount of coriander (coriander) is placed to set off the color of the roast duck.

In addition to the special dishes of roast duck, there are cured beef, pork stewed carrots, white bean chicken soup, sashimi, dog meat hot pot....

Vegetarian dishes include hollyhock soup (sweet and cold in nature, with the effect of clearing heat, soothing water, and smoothing intestines, and is respected as the first of 100 dishes by the people of the Han Dynasty), leeks, spinach, green onions, bean soup, courgette slices...

There are also two plates of dim sum next to it.

Rice noodles and honey are kneaded into strips and fried in lard.

Fragrant cakes, in glutinous rice flour, add eggs to mix, knead into a cake shape, and then fry them in lard.

"Not bad, not bad..." Yuan Xi swallowed saliva when he saw it.

The food culture of the Han Dynasty has made great progress. Vegetables, meat, and seasonings are also basically complete. Except for the lack of stir-frying, everything else is fine. And it's all green food.

"Lord, can you start eating?" Wen Chou couldn't bear it anymore.

"Eat."

Yuan Xi picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's even better than the dishes of the Thorn Mansion." No wonder it sells so well. ”

"Eat fast, eat quickly..."

Wen Chou and the guards, seeing that Yuan Xi had already moved his chopsticks, hurriedly began to chop in large pieces. Wen Chou unceremoniously pulled off the duck's neck and ate it with relish.

Whoa...

The sound of eating is too loud to attract the attention of the diners around you.

Yuan Xi knocked on the table a few times and said with some embarrassment: "Can you be a little more gentle?" ”

"Uh-huh..."

Wen Chou and the guards nodded again and again, but their mouths were not idle.

Yuan Xi tasted every dish, drank half a bottle of Qiong Jelly Jade Liquor, and ate a bowl of rice (authentic Liang rice from the Han Dynasty, which is also the best high-quality millet), which was fragrant and delicious.

Hiccup, hiccups...

After eating, Yuan Xi had a series of burps, touched his stomach, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full." ”

Wen Chou and the guards also ate quite comfortably.

"Finished eating?" The shopkeeper walked over.

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi had no fear, and commented critically: "It is worthy of being the No. 1 restaurant in Yecheng, and the food is quite delicious." It's just that the price is too expensive and very people can enjoy it. The maid's service was also a bit bold and should have been withdrawn. After all, it's a restaurant, not a green building. ”

"Yo, you're still on the count?" The shopkeeper snorted: "I originally wanted to look at the face of the Thorn Shifu and invite you to have a meal, just based on what you just said, the meal money cannot be less!" 62,000 paper copper currency, not a penny less! ”

"Why hasn't the official mission arrived yet?" Wen Chou poked his head towards the door.

"If the official doesn't come again, we'll have to leave." Yuan Xi got up slowly: "I still have a lot of things to do." ”

The guards also stood up and cheered Yuan Xi on. In fact, Yuan Xi wanted to leave, and no one could stop him. A mere restaurant, can it still hinder the government? What's more, Yuan Xi himself is here.

It's just that you don't give money for eating, and it doesn't have a good impact after all.

When it spreads, it is also a joke.

"You guys..." The shopkeeper was frightened by the momentum and took a few steps back. The diners in the hall saw that the guards were going to eat the overlord meal, and they were also afraid of harming the pond fish, so they hid far away.

"Rush in!" At this time, two teams of county soldiers appeared outside the restaurant. Guo Tu carried a sword, personally led twenty people, rushed into the hall of the restaurant, and saw Yuan Xi and Wen Chou, and a team of guards present, Guo Tu hurriedly saluted in fright: "Lord..." ”

"Excuse me!"

Yuan Xi interrupted him.

Guo Tu walked over and said with a somewhat ugly face: "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm idle and strolling, can't I? Mr. Gongze, I'm really doing my best, even someone in the restaurant can't afford to pay, you have to ask for such trivial things? And bring so many county soldiers? Yuan Xi asked.

"Minister... Guilty of lowly duty. ”

Guo Tu's face changed suddenly, and there were words of suffering in his heart.

As the county magistrate of Yecheng Prefecture, he is responsible for the security of Yecheng, guards, and large and small matters, all of which need to be handled by him. Among them, the Zhen family's shops and restaurants are the objects of his attention and protection. The usual patrols are basically wandering around this area.

Why?

Because the brothers of the Zhen family invited him to dinner every once in a while, and entertained him with good wine and meat, there was nothing else, that is, to protect the property of the Zhen family and punish the lawbreakers who made trouble.

According to the price of the first restaurant, he ate at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After receiving such a great benefit, how can you not do your best?

Yuan Xi didn't continue to delve in, waved his hand and said, "I'll go first, and I'll leave the matter here to you." ”

"No."

Guo Tu replied respectfully.

Yuan Xi took Wen Chou and a team of guards and left with a swagger. The surrounding diners were a little frightened and curious when they saw Yuan Xi, who even Guo Tu didn't dare to arrest and eat the overlord's meal.

The shopkeeper looked stupid...

What is sacred that can make Guo Tu afraid?

"Well, haven't you paid yet?" He shouted subconsciously. It's just that the voice of the shouting, from high to high, obviously has no confidence.

"Give what money? What money to give? Guo Tu turned around and angrily rewarded the shopkeeper and two violent shudders: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, even I have to be respectful, you dare to ask him for money?" ”

"Master Guo, who is that?" The shopkeeper hasn't woken up yet.

"Realize it yourself." Guo Tu is not ready to expose Yuan Xi's identity, after all, he doesn't give money for dinner, and he has a bad reputation for Yuan Xi, for fear of becoming a laughing stock after dinner.

"When the head of the family comes back, how can the little one reply?" The shopkeeper is not dead yet.

"Just say that what I eat is counted on my head. The Zhen family asked for money, just ask me for it. Guo Tu snorted and took people away very unhappily.

"How can that. Whoever asks for it, I can't ask you for it... The shopkeeper sent Guo Tu out of the restaurant with a smile, and waved his hand: "Master Guo, you go slowly." ”

"Lack of heart." Guo Tu scolded secretly, regretting it very much. At this extraordinary time, he actually exposed his close relationship with the Zhen family. Although there is nothing wrong with this, Yuan Xi will inevitably be suspicious. As Yuan Xi said, even if someone in Zhen's restaurant doesn't give money for dinner, he has to personally ask about such trivial things. Is there an abnormal transfer of interests behind it? Like bribery?

The more Guo Tu thought about it, the more scared he became, and decided to find an opportunity to explain it to Yuan Xi.
