Chapter 172: Dinner
When he went out, Xue Lang brought buns and them. This happy event should also be shared with them. Let the steamed buns and steamed buns also jump into the carriage and go to Dongshi together.
Each square is separated by a tall courtyard wall, and outsiders cannot see the situation inside. Xue Lang is now also a member of the high-ranking nobles, and the place where he lives is the prime location on the east side of Suzaku Street, which is very close to the East Market, and he only needs to pass through Wubenfang and Pingkang Fang to reach the East Market.
Dongshi also has a tall courtyard wall, and when you enter it, you have a different feeling of a piece of sky. There are many shops here, one next to the other, and most of the shops are named after "a certain line", and occasionally named after "a certain house".
There are not only pen, ink, paper and inkstone pen shops, but also meat shops, iron shops, wine shops, restaurants, and shops that do plate printing business. I even saw donkey renters for pedestrians on street corners. Xue Lang thinks this should be an ancient taxi, right?
It is said that there are 220 trading houses in the East Market. I don't know if there are so many lines!
Xue Lang sat in the carriage, looked at it for a while, and understood it. The name of the store is "XX Xing", and the name of the store is "XX Di", which should have both the function of a warehouse and a four-wheeled carriage in and out, and the handling is a bulk of goods.
"Wang!"
Xue Lang was lifting the curtain of the window to look out, and a dog head was squeezed next to him, it was a bun!
The appearance of buns, some people often recognize them as wolves, this is the urban area, in order not to cause panic, Xue Lang directly locked the four dogs in the carriage and went to the restaurant together.
Xue Lang didn't say a word, and directly pressed the dog head of the bun down: "You're just a dog, what kind of street scene to see!" Retract! ”
"Wow!"
The bun was still not happy, regardless of the owner's hand pressing his head, desperately struggling to the window, in short, to look outside. The latest and fastest update Xue Lang was in a good mood, his interest in having fun was great, the bun was not happy, he was even happier, and he worked hard to press the dog head of the bun down.
"Wow!"
For a while, the barking of the buns in protest sounded from time to time. The fritters covered their eyes with two claws, which meant that they didn't want to see it. The soy milk only watched silently, and the steamed bun slept on his own head, shaking his ears, and he didn't even open his eyes.
"Da Lang, the restaurant has arrived!"
Changjian respectfully reported outside. Xue Lang pulled his clothes, tidied up his clothes, and then jumped out of the carriage-
The place where you get off the carriage is the backyard of the restaurant. didn't want the buns to shock the world and cause unnecessary panic, Xue Lang specially told Changjian not to get off the carriage in public.
Fortunately, this restaurant is quite popular in Chang'an City, and it is often brought by female relatives to taste. The female dependents of large families will not be easily seen by outsiders, and how can the dignity be openly exposed in front of people. Therefore, in Chang'an City, as long as it is a high-grade shop, you can drive the carriage into the backyard and enter the prepared private room directly from the backyard.
Because of the buns, Xue Lang also enjoyed the treatment of a large family dependents today. Of course, Jiang Lin and his guards entered through the main entrance.
The private room booked by Changjian was upstairs, Xue Lang went up directly with the dogs, and in the private room, Jiang Lin and they had already arrived-
It is said to be a private room, but it is actually a room. The latest and fastest update, the free food distribution system, each person has a small table, kneeling and eating, if the room is not spacious, it can't be opened at all.
The private rooms are all a row of side-by-side rooms, and the one they booked by Xue Lang is right in the middle. When I passed by the other private rooms, the doors were closed, but I could hear someone inside. Looks like this business is good!
Xue Lang sat on the head, the main seat, and in the empty space next to him, put the buns and their food bowls, waiting for the store to serve the food. Jiang Lin sat in the second seat, and the guards sat at will in the guest seats.
"Ahh
When Xiao Er came in to serve food, although they were startled when they saw the buns, they did not panic, but looked at Xue Lang with admiration, and their attitude was inexplicably respectful and sincere. Looking at the buns, their eyes are more curious, although they are afraid.
Is this being recognized?!
Xue Lang didn't think he was so famous, and asked curiously, "Little Second Brother seems to know me?" ”
The little second brother saw Xue Lang asking, and immediately said respectfully: "Back to the county duke, because of the county duke's dedication to auspicious rui, the story of the county duke and the greyhounds has spread all over Chang'an City, the little one has not seen the county duke in the past, but he has heard the story of the junduke, there are many fine dogs in Chang'an City, if it looks like a wolf civet dog, but only the county duke has it." Even if the little one doesn't know the county prince, when he sees the grey dog, he knows the identity of the county prince. ”
It turned out to be buns, and they leaked their identities!
Xue Lang relieved his doubts, nodded and said, "In this way, I will bother the little second brother to send four chickens up." ”
"Well, please wait a minute."
The little second brother withdrew. Changjian spontaneously chased him out and gave the second brother ten dollars in reward, so that he didn't want to make a noise. The little second brother naturally nodded busily, and continued to be busy with a smile.
In autumn, the freshest thing is, of course, crabs. The Tang people also eat crabs, but compared to modern people who like to eat steamed and the like, the Tang people's way of eating is called sugar crab.
It is a live female crab, raise it for a day to spit out the mud, throw it directly into the boiled sugar and soak it, and then cook it with knotweed soup and salt, and then seal and marinate for 20 days, and then you can take it out and eat it.
Sugar crab, dried fish tart, sunflower soup, scarlet sheep, and a cold shredded radish, the staple food is black rice. Changjian said that the sugar crab and black rice in this restaurant are very good, which is a signature dish, and every autumn crab season, the dignitaries and nobles who come to this restaurant to eat sugar crab are simply endless. There are also people who come to eat black rice on purpose, and it is said that black rice nourishes qi and nourishes the body, and there are many people who love to eat it.
Of course, wine is also indispensable. However, as a restaurant, I don't drink alcohol, and if I want to drink, I have to go to the wine store next door to buy it. Xue Lang raised his wine glass and said loudly: "Along the way, thanks to your extra care, I will prepare a thin wine today, and talk to you, please rejoice with me, do it!" ”
"!"
They are all men, so naturally they are dry and refreshing. Three glasses of wine, although everyone has different statuses, they are all familiar, Xue Lang's personality, these men know it, and they can naturally let it go.
After three rounds of drinking, Sun Chang said: "Dare to ask Xue Counselor, now that you are also a county prince, can you recruit a subordinate?" ”
The so-called tribal was actually a private soldier that could be recruited within the prince's authority. Xue Lang is now a county prince, so he can naturally recruit private soldiers, but the status of these private soldiers is not high, according to Tang law and historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, the identity and status of the tribe was between slaves and maids, higher than slaves and maids, and lower than good people.
Xue Lang was about to speak, the voice next door suddenly became louder, and he listened carefully, but it was the sound of punching and drinking, and the voice was quite young, and there were even a few male duck voices with unique voice changers.
I think it should be a group of little hairy heads!
Xue Lang smiled and said, "Thinking about it, we are really old, and we are not as lively as the next door when we eat and drink!" People really should be old! ”
That's what I said! Everyone is about the same age, and they can understand the humor in Xue Lang's words, and they laughed in unison. After laughing, Xue Lang said: "The trilogy is needed, but there is no suitable candidate." ”
Xue Lang is an outsider and a civil official, and now that he has a knighthood, he wants to recruit a ministry, but he can't start for a while. Sun Chang said: "In His Royal Highness's army, there was a lonely person who had no relatives in the family and only joined the army alone. If it was Counselor Xue, His Highness wouldn't mind if he wanted to come. ”
Xue Lang nodded, raised his glass and said, "Thank you Guard Sun for your advice, please!" ”
"Thank you, Counselor Xue!"
Sun Chang was also refreshed, Xue Lang raised his glass, and straightly picked up the wine glass and dried it up.
Everyone talked and drank together, because of the status gap, although the guards did not dare to be presumptuous, Xue Lang was kind and sincere, and he was also happy as a guest and host.
Eating and drinking, although not unrestrained next door, everyone feels good, or whispering, or making a drinking order, fighting for a wine or something, Jiang Lin is about Sun Chang together, and he is fighting with Xue Lang -
"Whoa!"
As soon as he picked up the wine glass, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and he didn't use his hand to see the foot that had not been withdrawn: "Master is just changing clothes, who closed the door?" ”
