Chapter 14 Chang'an on the Tip of the Tongue
In the early morning of the next day, most of the people in the Lu Mansion were still asleep, but Lu Kang was dressed under the service of Dongyue. The pen %fun %pavilion looked ahead with www.biquge.info eyes in a daze, his eyes were empty, and his hands and feet were at the mercy of the winter moon, as if he had fallen asleep.
Lu Kang's heart is very uneasy, is this a human life? It's only three or four o'clock in the morning, and when I'm sleeping soundly, getting up at this time is terrible.
I used to go to bed at three or four o'clock, and it was the first time I got up at three or four o'clock. The whole person was wandering out of the world, lying on his stomach softly, and he didn't bother to get up.
"Knock knock" "Knock knock", the dawn drum outside responded to Lu Kang's inner indignation very cooperatively, and beat it in an orderly manner.
Under Dongyue's service, Lu Kang, who had washed his face and cleaned his teeth, also regained some vitality, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his inner anxiety, and followed Dongyue out of the house.
At this time, the sky is still bright and the moon is shining, and the night is quiet. There were the poignant cries of crickets everywhere in the yard, and the breeze blew, and Lu Kang trembled, unable to describe the desolation.
His own carriage was also waiting at the gate of the Lu Mansion at this time, and the groom was made a cameo by the family's general. originally wanted Chang'an Know-it-all Wang Xiong to be in charge, but who would have thought that the old man was not ashamed to do any work on the first day, and the group was drunk with Lu Wei. There was no way, Fu Bo could only choose one of the several generals who went to Chang'an to deliver the letter to drive for Lu Kang.
The name of the famous family will be Zhen Jun, as his name suggests, more than six feet tall, and handsome, with a faint beard that adds to his manhood. But the personality is an introvert, and everyone knows that he likes the winter moon, but he himself doesn't say anything. Seeing Dongyue leading Lu Kang over, he just shouted at Lu Kang and turned his head away.
Lu Kang can't help in this regard, you don't take the initiative to chase girls, and you still expect others to take the initiative? I didn't bother to care about these things, with the help of Zhen Jun, I got into the carriage and said to Dong Yue, who was standing on the side: "Sister Dong Yue, you are also tired, go back and make up for sleep." When Yan Yan wakes up, you tell her, I'll be back soon. ”
"Yes, the maid knows, Lang Jun walks slowly."
"En" Lu Kang agreed, then lifted the curtain and walked in. It didn't take long for the body to start shaking.
When Lu Kang sat on the mattress and leaned against the wall of the car, he was about to fall asleep. The carriage suddenly braked, and Lu Kang smashed to the ground by inertia.
duang~
"Hiss~~ah~" Lu Kang rubbed the bag on his head painfully, it was called a pain. Just when I wanted to ask what was going on, Zhen Jun's voice came from outside:
"Lang Jun, Chongrenfang has arrived."
Lu Kang did not go directly to the palace gate, but came to the mansion of the Handong County Mansion in Chongrenfang. Chen Shuda had already discussed it yesterday, and he came to find him this morning and entered the palace with him.
After getting out of the carriage, Lu Kang found that Chen Shuda was already looking at him with a smile on his face outside the mansion gate, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Gong Chen." ”
Chen Shuda nodded and said with satisfaction: "It's punctual, not bad." ”
"Xie Chen Gong praised."
"Haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go, take you to taste the flavor of Chang'an. As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Kang's hand and walked towards his carriage.
The sky is still a little dark and dreary, but it is very bright outside Chongrenfang, and there are already many snack bars with lanterns and opening their doors to do business. You can see that many of the outside of the store are shrouded in the white air of the steamer, giving people a hazy feeling.
The groom skillfully stopped at the door of a small shop, and the shopkeeper inside immediately greeted him: "Gong Chen is here, what do you want to eat today?" ”
"Two bowls of dumplings, one dumpling with acid, and four more hu cakes, baked crispy." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lu Kang and said, "Dumplings are a famous snack in Chang'an, with a unique flavor and a refreshing flavor. Every day when I go to court, I must first come to a bowl, and I never get tired of eating. There are two ways to eat this snack with sour and spicy, which one do you like. ”
"Add acid, like Chen Gong, I also like to eat sour food."
"Okay, Chen Gong and this little Langjun sit down for a while, and they will be fine immediately." The shopkeeper readily agreed, and made a gesture of please.
The two of them found a quiet food table, sat down, and Chen Shuda spoke first: "What I taught you yesterday, have you written it down?" This is your first time facing the saint, and the significance is not trivial, but you must not go wrong. ”
"Gong Chen can rest assured, Kang Du has written it down." Lu Kang naturally knew the key to this, and replied very respectfully.
"That couldn't be better." Chen Shuda nodded with satisfaction, and then his face turned solemn, and said, "If it is undecided today, the political situation is unstable." If you want to live a stable life in Chang'an, you must be blessed by Your Majesty. Otherwise, even I won't be able to do anything for you, and you have to keep that in mind."
"Yes, Kang Zi should remember Chen Gong's teachings."
While the two were chatting, Xiao Er also brought two bowls of dumplings and a large plate of Hu cakes to the table.
Dumplings are the most common traditional food in Chang'an, among which Chongrenfang is the most outstanding. When stir-frying, add a secret seasoning, and strain the dough sheet in the soup two to three times to fully absorb the flavor. With a few slices of spinach, it is even more tempting. The smooth dough and crisp carrots echo each other, and the contradictions exist harmoniously on a small bowl of gluttony, and human beings have once received the gift of nature......
The flour is repeatedly kneaded in the hands of Master Hu Ren, and then some sugar is added and sprinkled with sesame seeds, and the baked cakes are pasted on the stove one by one, and the long-term charcoal fire baking makes the oil and sugar in the cake and the sesame seeds outside the cake have a wonderful chemical reaction, producing a strong aroma, and most of the water in the cake evaporates to make the baked cake more crispy, oily but not greasy. With the company of crispy and fragrant biscuits, no matter how lonely and lonely the early morning is, it seems that it will become warm, rich, and delicious.
"Slip ~ click" Lu Kang didn't care so much, holding the dough sheet in his right hand, grabbing the Hu cake in his left hand, and eating happily. The chubby little face is full of oil, but the hands can't stop at all.
Lu Kang, who has eaten all over the country in the past, is also attracted by the snacks of Chang'an. Although the food seasoning is small, it is delicate, and the simple ingredients are made into their own unique flavor.
Chen Shuda ate slowly, put the Hu cake into the noodle soup to soak, picked it up after a while, took a bite, the crispy Hu cake splashed out of the noodle soup, the noodle soup was silky and smooth, the Hu cake was fragrant, and the taste was instantly full. Chen Shuda said with enjoyment: "In the past, I was in the south, and I didn't taste the delicacies, and I didn't eat the delicious food. But when I first arrived in Chang'an, I was attracted by the dumplings and cakes here. I have to admit that the food is expensive and not luxurious! ”
After hearing this, Lu Kang took out a handkerchief and touched his mouth with a fat little handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Gong Chen is from a noble background, and his taste is naturally not bad. ”
"Okay, eat early, enter the palace early. The time of the court meeting can not be delayed. ”
"Four, Lie directed"
