Chapter 300: Unpalatable Steamed Fish

After Brother Tianba's words were finished, he also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

He Zhiyun stared at Brother Tianba fiercely with a pair of eyes, almost spewing fire to burn Brother Tianba to death, Yang Huairen hurriedly patted the back of her hand to signal her to calm down, something is important.

"Calm, calm, impulsiveness is the devil...... Actually, I have a way, I might as well give it a try, and you can cooperate with me. ā€

The shopkeeper walked over at this time, grabbed a cloth towel on his shoulder with his left hand and wiped the sweat on his head, and lifted the kettle with his right hand to refill the water for everyone, he asked with a smile: "Where did the guest officers come from and where are they going?" ā€

Yang Huairen replied with a smile: "Oh, our family came from Zizhou, went to Tokyo City to join relatives, it was late, passing by Guibaodi, we want to stay for one night, dare to ask the second brother to see if there is a guest room?" ā€

The little second brother looked around, and had already seen the wooden box that He Zhiyun had been holding in his arms, "There is a guest room, but there is only one room left, I don't know if the guest officer can stay for one night." ā€

"One room is enough, they are all dealers, and they are not so particular."

"The small shop in the countryside makes the guest officer smile, and there is not much to eat, but the fish in Liangshanbo are still fat at this time, how about steaming a big fish?"

"That's very good," Yang Huairen pointed to the table next to him, "Trouble the second brother is like the table next to him, just like the table next to him, he will have a few side dishes at random, and two pots of wine." ā€

After saying that, Yang Huairen smiled and stretched out his hand to He Zhiyun beside him, but He Zhiyun looked at the shopkeeper with vigilant eyes.

The shopkeeper realized, raised his eyes and glanced at the beams, and turned his face to show that he didn't look at you paying for it.

He Zhiyun turned around and protected the wooden box with his body, opened the box secretly, and took out a small pearl from inside.

The shopkeeper was obviously pretending to twist his face, but he had already seen He Zhiyun's movements in the afterglow of his eyes, and from the small wooden box that was slightly opened, he saw a box full of pearls and gems lying quietly shining inside.

Yang Huairen saw all this, but quietly handed over the pearl, "Little second brother, we went out in a hurry and didn't bring any cash, how do you think we used this bead to cover the cost of staying overnight?" ā€

The shopkeeper turned his head and stretched out his hand to take it, and when he saw the pearl, his eyes also flashed with a thief's light.

Although this pearl is not large, if it is placed in the jewelry store in the city, it is worth at least a consistent amount of money, and these six people asked for a room for a night's stay, plus the expenses of dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, it is only two or three hundred yuan.

Thinking of this, his mouth instantly cracked even more, nodded and said, "Stay a little bit, the guest officer will be fine immediately", and retreated happily.

Xiao Er walked to the counter and showed the pearl to the bearded man in charge of the shopkeeper, who picked it up and took a closer look at it, confirming that it was a fine East China Sea pearl, and it was not put in the cash cabinet on the counter, but stuffed into his arms.

"Where do these people come from?"

Xiao Er pouted and smiled, "It is said that it is a group of Zhuang families from Zizhou, who want to go to Tokyo City to join their relatives, hehe, I do sound like people from that place in Zizhou, but these few are definitely not Zhuang households, which Zhuang family can have such precious beads?" ā€

The bearded shopkeeper nodded, "It seems that it came from a rich family, and there must be such valuable treasures in that box, right?" ā€

"Well, there are all kinds of boxes, it's the most normal thing to walk out and change your identity without revealing your wealth, but this family is a little stupid, holding a box of jewelry, who can't see it? Are we ...... today?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand from below and made the shape of a hand knife, and the bearded shopkeeper shook his head, "No, you can't do it in our store, after you finish serving the food in a while, go and send a letter to the harriers in the water pool, and let them wait for them in the middle of the road tomorrow morning." ā€

"Well, then let them live one more night."

……

First served were a few side dishes, a plate of lamb slices, a plate of fennel beans and a plate of dried little wicker salted fish, and two jugs of wine.

Yang Huairen motioned for everyone to taste it first, and a few people started before they started. The mutton was cooked in a large pot in advance, and there was not much salt, and the heat was also old, and it smelled bad when I ate it, and it couldn't be chewed, which made it difficult for Yang Huairen to swallow.

The other two plates of side dishes are also not up to the standard of ordinary inns and taverns, and the two pots of wine, put it under the nose and smell it, you can't smell the wine.

In this kind of inn in the countryside, it seems that there is no decent cook, and several side dishes are prepared in advance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shoddy.

But it was precisely because of this that Yang Huairen smiled more confidently, everything was as he expected before, and his plan could be implemented smoothly.

Everyone tasted these dishes and stopped using chopsticks. The bearded shopkeeper caught a glimpse of their movements at the counter, and with a smile on his face, he said in his heart that these rich people were not used to eating this kind of coarse food, which verified the speculation about their identity.

After a while, the shopkeeper came up with a large wooden plate, and in the wooden plate was a steaming big grass carp weighing four or five catties.

This fish is a good fish, there are a large number of freshwater fish resources in the water pool, although a large water body like Liangshanbo is also frozen in winter, but it will not freeze, and the place near the land will freeze a piece, but most of the lake is not frozen.

Although the thieves on Liangshan did not allow the ordinary fishermen around Liangshanbo to fish, they themselves had people who were responsible for casting nets and fishing, and in addition to providing food to the people on the mountain, they also sold them to these inns in Twenty Miles.

It's a pity that a bad cook made such a good fish blind, Yang Huairen tasted it, and then stopped eating it, this steamed fish is just a big grass carp to remove the scales and internal organs, and then smear the salt and sprinkle some chopped green onion and ginger to steam it out of the pot.

In winter, there are few tender vegetables, and the green onion and ginger are not fresh, so the effect of removing the fishy is much worse, and the fish is steamed with a slight fishy smell, and because it is not carefully processed, it looks steamed on the surface, but there is still blood on the fish bones inside.

Brother Tianba, a few of them also ate a bite and stopped putting chopsticks with a bitter face, they followed Yang Huairen to eat a good meal for a few days, such a meal can no longer be eaten, and the fish is not steamed thoroughly, and there will be worms in the stomach after eating.

Yang Huairen called the shopkeeper over again, and the shopkeeper looked at the steamed fish and a few side dishes on the table, which basically didn't move much, so he asked, "What, aren't these dishes delicious?" Alas, this can't be helped, in a wilderness place like Twenty Miles, decent cooks are not willing to come, a few guest officers, I'm really sorry. ā€

Yang Huairen said with a smile: "It's okay, little second brother, I don't know if the kitchen of your store can be borrowed from me, can I cook a few dishes myself?" ā€
