Chapter 99: Xiao Yun'er's home
Cui Wenqing used to be a nerd, he hadn't seen much of the world, and he hadn't heard of the name of "Muddy Sheep Death", so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What, is this dish very unusual?" ”
"Childe, you don't know." The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Yun'er coldly, and said, "Hun Yang is a famous dish in the north of the Tang Dynasty, and the specific method is to use each boy goose worth two or three silver, boil and remove the hair, take out the five organs, fill it with meat and glutinous rice, and then mix it with various condiments. After that, a sheep is brought, it is also skinned and dehaired, the internal organs are removed, and the finished goose is put into the belly of the sheep, sewn and roasted on the ground. After the mutton is cooked, the sheep is peeled off, and the goose in the belly of the sheep is taken out, and it is eaten in the hand. ”
"Oh, how much silver does this dish cost?" Cui Wenqing was not surprised at all, and asked lightly.
There is a kind of pride in the tone of the shopkeeper: "The muddy sheep cooked by the small shop is very famous in the whole north, and is known as a must in Taiyuan, and the price is naturally not low, and this dish alone costs ten taels of silver." ”
When it came to ten taels of silver, the shopkeeper involuntarily accentuated his tone, reminding this rich and noble son who seemed to be the owner not to be deceived by this lowly little beggar.
"Oh, it's only ten taels of silver, I thought it was expensive." Cui Wenqing smiled indifferently, waved his hand and ordered, "Since that's the case, give us one." ”
"Ten taels of silver...... Isn't it expensive? The shopkeeper muttered in his heart, so shocked that his eyes almost bulged out.
Xiao Yun'er smiled lightly, folded her fingers and continued: "In addition to the death of the muddy sheep, I also want golden jade noodles, jade tip noodles, cherry dumplings, and honey sugar crabs, you can write them all down for me." ”
Hearing that the little beggar ordered all the names of the expensive dishes, the shopkeeper's voice trembled a little, and he stammered and reminded Cui Wenqing: "Childe, the price of these dishes is not low, if you order them all, it will not be less than thirty taels, do you have the money to give?" ”
Cui Wenqing glared at him, took out ten taels of silver from his purse, slapped it on the table and said in a deep voice: "This is a deposit, you can put it away and serve the dishes we ordered quickly." ”
The shopkeeper secretly sighed that this person was really slaughtered as a fat sheep by this little beggar, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he hurriedly picked up the silver and went down.
Half an hour later, several delicacies were served to the table of the Eight Immortals by the waiter.
In the center is the muddy sheep shut, and the roast sheep in the white jade plate is golden and buttery, and the aroma is overflowing.
The slices of golden jade fish placed around are as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear; The jade tip dough sheet is made exquisitely, and the seasoning is exquisite; The cherry dumplings are transparent and soft, and the ingredients inside are bright red; The honey sugar crab is even more viscous and red, and it is a rare delicacy at first glance.
Seeing this, Cui Wenqing, who was not greedy for appetite, couldn't help but move his index finger, and he didn't be too polite, so he immediately took a big gulp.
Compared with Cui Wenqing's eating appearance, Xiao Yun'er is much more subtle, chewing slowly when eating, without gobbling it up at all, which makes Cui Wenqing wonder who is a beggar.
After half a ring, the two of them were full of wine and food, and they both showed a comfortable look.
Looking at the amount of wine and food left on the table, Cui Wenqing secretly said that it was a pity, and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you don't dislike it, why don't you take the leftovers on the table home and eat them?" ”
"Thank you, Brother Cui, in fact, I have this intention." Xiao Yun'er smiled, thought about it and always felt that she owed Cui Wenqing an explanation, so she simply said frankly: "Actually, I don't hide it from Brother Cui, in addition to me, there are still a few children in the family who are waiting to be fed, so I just ordered some more dishes and wanted to take them back to taste them." ”
Cui Wenqing suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "That's good, but it's not convenient for you to take so many dishes alone, so let me accompany you." ”
Xiao Yun'er nodded and smiled, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper to come and pack the dishes, and filled three bamboo baskets before sweeping away the leftovers on the table.
Cui Wenqing walked out of the door of the wine shop with a bamboo basket in one hand, looked back at Xiao Yun'er and smiled: "Little brother, I don't know where your home is?" Let's go. ”
Xiao Yun'er smiled, but led Cui Wenqing out of the south gate of Taiyuan and walked towards the small mountain peak not far away.
In the middle of winter, the cold wind outside Taiyuan City, the light snow was flying, Cui Wenqing followed Xiao Yun'er, the two of them climbed the peak halfway up the mountain, and immediately saw a small mountain temple built on the sunny side of the mountainside, the roof was covered with snow, and the walls were in tatters, and it looked like it was crumbling.
"You...... Just stay here? There was a hint of surprise in Cui Wenqing's voice.
"Yes, I am a little beggar without a father and a mother, and I should live in such a broken temple." The corners of Xiao Yun'er's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
Cui Wenqing bowed his head silently, didn't say much, and walked slowly towards the mountain temple, but he kept thinking in his heart: Look at this little Yun'er's words and deeds, it is very decent, don't ask if she has received a good tutor before, it seems that she is not an ordinary little beggar.
In the flickering of his mind, the gate of the mountain temple had arrived, and Xiao Yun'er had just pushed open the door full of holes, and there were already excited voices from several children inside:
"Brother Yun'er is back......"
"Brother Xiao Yun'er, what did Brother Yun'er bring us back and eat?"
"Ahh
The crisp voice was still wafting in Cui Wenqing's ears, and he had already seen three children running in the courtyard, two men and one woman, both big and small, all dressed as beggars, their clothes and faces were very clean, and they were not more than ten years old.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun'er showed a very happy smile, and the smile was like the newborn warm sun shining on the earth, which made Cui Wenqing feel a sense of warmth in the cold winter.
He handed the basket in his hand to the cheering children, turned around and took the basket in Cui Wenqing's hand, and ordered with a smile: "This is the delicacies of the Penglou in Taiyuan City, it is this Brother Cui who invited you to eat, come, Xiaoduo, Tiger Head, stammer, come over and thank Brother Cui together." ”
As soon as the three little hairy heads heard this, they immediately walked up to Cui Wenqing, and thanked them with a respectful salute: "Thank you Brother Cui for the food." ”
Cui Wenqing smiled in surprise, and hurriedly shook his hand and smiled: "You're welcome, you're welcome, in fact, these are all brought back to you by Xiao Yun'er." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiaoyun'er." The three children thanked Xiao Yun'er again.
Xiao Yun'er smiled, touched the head of the little girl named "Xiao Duo" and said, "Okay, you guys are still very polite to me, hurry up and eat, otherwise the dishes will be cold later." ”
The three children nodded yes, and then ran away with a smile on their faces.
