This restaurant called 'Beihai Restaurant' should be one of the most luxurious in the local area, and its reputation is also very loud. Because when Wang Yuan asked passers-by, eight out of ten pointed them to this house, which shows that it is not small.
Wang Yuan is not arrogant, but he knows Gongsun Lan's temper, Gongsun Lan is very picky when eating, when she was in the Chang'an Palace, the eldest sister was very distressed for a while, because the food she cooked was fragrant to others, but Gongsun Lan ate very little. There are even times when Gongsun Lan cooks and eats by herself, obviously not interested in her food.
After a long time of running-in, the eldest sister gradually understood Gongsun Lan's taste. Other people are greasy and have a heavy taste of meat, and the more onions, garlic and ginger, the better, but Gongsun Lan eats all light and tasteless things, and rarely eats meat, only eats some meat dishes such as fish and shrimp. So the eldest sister later made a light and refreshing dish alone every time, which solved this problem.
I was used to seeing the scene of Chang'an City, and when I arrived in Beihai City, I looked at the low and dilapidated houses and shops on both sides of the street, which was a little worse than the least prosperous Chang'an West City, and Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan felt a little behind in their hearts. Those low and dim restaurants on the side of the street said that Gongsun Lan would never eat in that kind of place, even Wang Yuan would never eat in that kind of place. The food in the pavilion is definitely not very good, so the two of them must find a place to eat well, but fortunately, they found this Beihai restaurant.
Beihai Restaurant is one of the few three-storey buildings in Beihai County, and stands out against the backdrop of low, crowded buildings. But in fact, in terms of appearance alone, it is actually not very good. Although the red lacquer columns are rough and magnificent, they look vulgar and uninteresting. Although the plaque on the upper floor of the high gate is shining, the words on it are dull and wooden, and there is no beauty in looking. A row of huge red lanterns hung in front of the door, festive and tasteless, shows that this famous restaurant is actually too far behind any slightly larger restaurant in Chang'an.
However, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan are here to eat, as long as the food tastes good, they don't care so much.
As soon as the two entered the hall of the restaurant, the heat wave in front of them was rushing, and many diners were eating in the hall, and the guys were shouting and shuttling back and forth to deliver tea and water, a busy scene. To attract so many ordinary diners, it seems that the food must taste good.
A clean young man stepped forward, looked at the clothes on the two of them, and knew that they were not ordinary diners, and greeted him politely: "Two sons, are you eating?" ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Is there a quiet place?" ”
"Yes, there are boxes on the second and third floors, but the prices are different."
Wang Yuan said: "Money is not a problem, where it is clean and elegant, it will go." ”
"Okay. The two sons followed me upstairs. The young man shouted, and led the way.
Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan followed the young man up the stairs at the top of the hall, and went upstairs along the wooden stairs, only to the top of the second floor, and immediately became much quieter. A flower and bird screen blocks the entrance to the staircase, blocking the sound and protecting the privacy of diners on the second floor.
But the young man's footsteps did not stop, but went directly to the third floor, above the third floor, it was even quieter, and the decoration on it subverted all the previous impressions of this restaurant. The screen of the picture of flowers, birds, insects, fish, and ladies separates several boxes, and under the high light of the residence, it can be seen that there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and there are many poems and texts. A copper stove with a sandalwood bird's beak is placed in the corner, and a faint cigarette smoke spews out from the bird's beak, which makes people feel at ease.
"Two sons, there are no guests on the third floor for the time being, the two of you can choose a box to sit in, and the villain will bring some tea." The young man laughed.
Gongsun Lan nodded and said: "You can use a tea bag to brew boiling water directly, no need to boil tea, and don't put any other condiments." ”
The young man was stunned and said with a smile: "The villain obeys." With that, he turned around and hurried downstairs.
Wang Yuan looked at Gongsun Lan and smiled: "Cousin still remembers my habits. ”
Gongsun Lan chirped: "What are your habits, are my own habits good?" What does it have to do with you? ”
Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Where are you sitting?" There's a window on the south side, so why don't you sit by the window? ”
Gongsun Lan shook his head and said: "The other houses on the high level of this building, sitting by the window will be seen clearly by those who have a heart." At this point, it's better to be cautious. ”
Wang Yuan nodded, and secretly praised Gongsun Lan as an old Jianghu, after all, he was too tender, and he forgot that this was not Chang'an. And it is very likely that someone is secretly watching at this moment, and the matter of the two tigers of the Xiangfu has always been a matter of heart.
The two chose a box in the middle, and Wang Yuan was surprised to see that the inscription on the wall had Li Bai's name included. So I got up and looked along the wall, and I saw a lot of well-known contemporary masters inscribed poems, it seems that these people have eaten and drunk in this restaurant.
However, a mottled spot on the wall aroused Wang Yuan's interest, and there was an empty space between the two inscriptions, which was obviously the inscription of another person, but it seemed to have been scraped with a knife, which seemed to be very unsightly.
The young man came up with a hot teapot, and while confessing and making the two of them wait for a long time, he quickly poured tea for the two of them. Wang Yuan pointed to the mottled spot on the wall and asked, "Brother, what's going on with this wall?" ”
The young man looked back, patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot about it, I blocked the shopkeeper's order with a painting, and no guests have come to the third floor to dine in the past few days, so I forgot about it." It's unsightly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to hang the painting to block it. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "It's nothing unsightly, I'm just curious, there must be a poem inscribed here, how did it scrape away?" ”
The young man scratched his head and said, "Don't say it, it's not a good thing, what the two sons want to eat, the villain will tell the kitchen to do it." ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "You tell me what's going on first." ”
The young man smiled: "What are the two sons asking for?" ”
Wang Yuan took out fifty Wentong treasures and put them on the table and said, "Just when you tell us a story, we want to know why." ”
The young man hesitated a little, but he was reluctant to pile up the fifty yuan on the table, and after thinking about it, he finally said, "The two sons are from other places." Don't you know that something big has happened in Beihai County? ”
Wang Yuan said: "We just entered the city, and we don't know what the big deal is. ”
"Hey, how do you say that? Our Taishou Li Yong of Beihai County is a good person, and he has done some good things in the past few years in Beihai County, but he likes to make friends with famous people in the world. Every day, there is an endless stream of guests, who like to drink, and they are drunk all day long. You see, there is Li Taibai's inscription, that is Pei Taishou's inscription, and there are many famous celebrities. It was all Li Taishou's friends who came here, and Li Taishou brought them here to drink and write poems, and then inscribed them on the wall. It's just that not long ago, someone suddenly reported Li Taishou that he was corrupt and perverted the law, no, this afternoon, the imperial court's investigation envoys came, and I am afraid that this matter will be worse. A few days ago, the owner of my family ordered someone to shovel away the poem written by Li Taishou, and we didn't understand it at the time, but now we understand it, and it turns out that the owner is afraid that he heard some rumors in advance. If Li Taishou was really corrupt and perverted the law, how could his poems stay in the restaurant? You two said yes? ”
Wang Yuan's heart moved, he glanced at Gongsun Lan, and turned around and said: "I see, there is a way that people are unlucky and pigs and dogs are suspicious, and this is also human nature." I'll reward you for these fifty articles. ”
The young man thanked him repeatedly, and Xi Zizi pocketed fifty yuan.
"What are you two eating?"
"We don't know what you're best at when we first arrived, you recommend a few delicious ones, money is not a problem."
"That's a lot, the shop's specialty of long raw meat, Bafang crisp, venison dumpling soup, five sheng plates, tendon spring, single cage golden crisp, stuffy pigeon ......" The young man's mouth is like a machine gun.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Stop, I want special dishes, except for the dishes you have here, which are not available anywhere else, this is called special, understand?" ”
The young man scratched his head and thought for a while, "Isn't there anything else but our house?" There is one of them, which is steamed reed fish. This reed fish is a unique fat fish in the Daqing River in Beihai County, eating reed flowers to grow up, the whole body is fragrant, the meat is fine and fresh, it is delicious in the world. What's more, only the Luhua fish from my Beihai Restaurant is the most delicious, because if the fish is not cooked properly, it will taste strange and difficult to eat. And my Beihai restaurant is good at this. ”
Wang Yuan glanced at Gongsun Lan, Gongsun Lan likes to eat fish, it depends on whether she wants it or not. Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "Then let's have a taste." ”
The young man was stunned and said, "But...... I can't cook this dish for the two of you right now. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Why can't you say it's so lively?" ”
The young man hurriedly explained: "That's right, only the owner can make this dish, he has a secret cooking method, and no one else knows." But now our owner is a little injured, and his hands and feet are a little inconvenient, so he can't do it. ”
Wang Yuan's heart moved again and asked, "What's the matter?" Will the owner still be injured? Fell while riding or was you beaten? ”
The young man said: "I don't know, the owner won't let me mention it." A few days ago, he disappeared early in the morning, and came back limping back at noon, with many scars on his body. When we asked him what was going on, he didn't say anything, he must have fallen somewhere. ”
Wang Yuan suddenly asked: "After your boss came back from being injured, he ordered you to shovel this poem, right?" ”
The young man scratched his head and said, "Childe, what do you mean?" ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just ask a little nonsense, so let's get a few of your specialty dishes, then some light vegetarian dishes, and a small pot of wine." ”
The young man said yes and hurried downstairs.
After the footsteps disappeared, Gongsun Lan looked at Wang Yuan, who was frowning and silent, and said softly, "What did you think of?" Your question was very strange. ”
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "That's because I think there are some doubts, the owner of this restaurant ordered someone to eradicate Li Yong's poems a few days ago, which shows that he knows the news of Li Yong's crime in advance than many people." Ordinary people like the little guy only found out yesterday and today, don't you think this owner is very well-informed? This shows that someone secretly knew the news in advance and leaked it. This owner was injured a few days ago, how was he injured, why was he injured? After being injured, he rushed back and ordered someone to eradicate Li Yong's poems, if there is a time coincidence, there will inevitably be a problem. No, I want to contact Luo Yimen's staff as soon as possible, Li Fuguo sent someone over a few days ago to investigate, they should have some clues. Now I'm very interested in the identity of the owner of this restaurant. ”
Gongsun Lan frowned and thought for a while: "I have to admire your thoughts, but they are a bit nonsense, I understand your thoughts of being anxious to find out the inside story, but you can think of so many of these things, I think you are overreacting." ”
Wang Yuan smiled: "Maybe it's my crankiness, wait and see." Drink tea and drink tea. ”
Wang Yuan wanted to drink tea, but Gongsun Lan stretched out her hand to stop it: "Slow." So saying, he took out a silver needle from under his sleeve and tried it in two cups of tea.
Wang Yuan chuckled: "Are you afraid that someone will poison you?" ”
Gongsun Lan said coldly: "Caution is the best, and you must be guarded." It's not like you haven't fallen for others. ”
Wang Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "I hope there is pear blossom nectar wine in this tea." ”
Gongsun Lanliu raised her eyebrows and glared at Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan was not afraid at all, and chuckled: "If I are poisoned by pear blossom nectar wine here, what will you do?" ”
Gongsun Lan's face turned crimson, and she said angrily: "I'll ...... A click slash slashes you. ”
Wang Yuan stuck out his tongue and said, "Click?" It's a terrible sound. ”
