Chapter 11 Restaurants
Zhao Qing is very longing for ancient food. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Zaixing took Zhao Qing into a very remote shop and shouted: "Meat." Xiao Er, who was squatting on the threshold, walked into the shop lazily.
Martial law was imposed in the city, and from time to time there would be groups of forbidden troops passing by from the streets with neat steps, not even a single passer-by could be seen on the streets, and most of the businesses were closed, and there were only two customers in the small shops.
Fortunately, although Xiao Er's attitude is a little slack, but the speed of serving is really fast, Zhao Qing looked at this somewhat familiar restaurant layout, next to the counter is a big pot, boiled gurgling, between the milky white soup pieces of cooked mutton tumbling out, it looks very tempting, it is a smell of mutton that Zhao Qing is not used to.
I saw Xiao Er skillfully pick up a big fork, accurately poke a large piece of lamb ribs, and then put it on a large plate, and served it. This is the most authentic boiled mutton, no condiments are put in, in order to prevent the mutton cells from being destroyed during the cooking process, they are all sprinkled with salt before eating, and then supplemented by various sauces, it is indeed a delicacy in the world.
Zhao Qing endured his saliva and sat honestly, but Yang Zaixing took two plates and easily tinkered in front of a row of jars in the corner of the shop, and soon filled them with various sauces and placed them in front of Zhao Qing. Those jars are full of all kinds of sauces and condiments, very similar to the spice table in the hot pot restaurant that Zhao Qing saw in his later life, I don't know if this was originally there in ancient times or passed on by Shen Wansan.
"Come, Brother Zhao, come and taste the most authentic hand-grasped mutton in Ningjiang Prefecture." Yang Zaixing laughed, picked up the knife and cut the cooked lamb ribs into pieces, and then said to the little er, "How can you just eat meat, ask your boss lady to come out and sing a tune." ”
The shopkeeper still looks lazy, obviously Yang Zaixing is a regular customer here, he is very familiar with this state governance, so he has no respect at all, and clasped his ears and said: "The boss lady is unwell, she has already slept, if the state ruler really wants to listen, the small singing is the same." ”
"You little rabbit cub, whoever wants to listen to your broken voice, let you call you to go, you know who this little brother is, your little shop can't afford to be lazy." Yang Zaixing was unhappy and slapped the shopkeeper's head with a greasy slap.
The lazy appearance of the shopkeeper finally restrained a little, and the boss was about to go upstairs reluctantly, but he heard a coquettish voice coming from upstairs: "Yo, isn't the Lord of the State Administration just a big official, he ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and he had to cut off his head if he walked around, and the concubine was blocked on the road, and his head was broken by the Lord Zhouzhi, and the concubine and the boudoir were so frightened that they didn't dare to step out." It's really difficult to do business in this world, and the small shop is still honestly closed. ”
"Rou Niang, I'm dealing with those people in the trading house, what do I have to do with you. It's not that group of profiteers lifting weights to make trouble, if it's the capital, then let them go, but this is Liaodong, when have you seen my brother-in-law bow his head to the merchants. Yang Zaixing grabbed a piece of tender meat, dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into his mouth, and said indistinctly, "Quickly give this one a tune, just the ones you are best at." ”
I saw a graceful woman twisting her waist and walking down the stairs, wearing only light makeup on her face, but she was very coquettish, Zhao Qing only glanced at it, and was tightly attracted by the pair of unconcealable waves, and immediately breathed shortly and her face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at it again. He was just a little virgin, and he didn't even talk about love in college, so he could resist the temptation of this kind of beauty who was like a real weapon in the future, so he had to ignore it, and he lowered his head and ate mutton indiscriminately, the leek sauce was very authentic, and it was spicy and spicy in his mouth, much better than what he bought from the Internet before.
Women are the most sensitive to men's reactions to their bodies, so after feeling Zhao Qing's crampedness, Rou Niang couldn't help but cover her mouth with a fan and smile coquettishly, looked at Zhao Qing with silky eyes, and said, "I haven't seen this little brother before, I don't know what song the little brother wants to hear?" ”
Zhao Qing couldn't control his gaze at all, and was involuntarily attracted by a ravine on his chest, this time he really didn't dare to look at it anymore, and said hesitantly while gnawing on the mutton: "Feel free, feel free." ”
"Giggle." Rou Niang's smile trembled, obviously liking this kind of careless young man very much, and straightened her chest proudly, "Yang Zaixing, is this young man a junior in your house, I have never seen you bring anyone other than Lord Chai here, is it your illegitimate child?" ”
Yang Zaixing almost squirted out a mouthful of meat, and after being choked, he hurriedly drank a few sips of water, coughed a few times, and said, "Rou Niang, don't talk nonsense, this little brother's name is Zhao Qing, and he is from Guigumen." ”
"Guigumen people?" Rou Niang sat down opposite the two, but her face showed disdain, "Hmph, you can pour a few Guigumen people on this street by pouring pots of water at will, and the concubine has been neglected a lot, could it be that this person is very high?" It's worth your treatment. ”
"Those are all heirs, this one is very different, he came out of the real Guigu Mountain Gate. Do you know why there was chaos in the city lord's mansion during this time, it was because my brother-in-law was sick, and he became ill from overwork, and he couldn't be cured by ordinary Langzhong, but he donated medicine, and my brother-in-law's illness improved. Yang Zaixing said with some seriousness.
"Oh?" Rou Niang's eyes looked at Zhao Qing like silk, "This real Guigu Sect person has not appeared since Wan Sanye, where did the little brother come from, could it be that Guigu is now alive?" ”
Zhao Qing had to patiently say his origin again, Yang Zaixing had never heard it, and he was listening with straight ears at this time.
"So, you don't know what your mountain gate is called? Why do you call yourself a Guigumen person? Rou Niang asked with some doubts.
"I really don't know in Xiaxia, but after Lord Chai saw the medicine I offered, he concluded that it was called Guigu at the lower mountain gate." Zhao Qing explained.
"In this way, Little Brother Zhao is really from the Hidden Gate Ghost Valley." Rou Niang's gaze at Zhao Qing suddenly became full of interest, her eyes were scorching, and she was very aggressive, Zhao Qing hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look directly, for fear that she would be swallowed.
"Ask so much, my brother-in-law said that he is from Guigumen, then he can't be wrong, hurry up and come to a tune." Yang Zaixing interrupted the conversation.
Rou Niangjiao laughed, asked Xiao Er to take a zither, bent her legs and sat down, a pair of slender hands slowly stroked the strings, at this moment, she seemed to have become a dignified lady, not a half-old who sold mutton in the restaurant, there is a temperament that can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
"Rou Niang used to be a famous character in Bianjing Quelailou, and I didn't know how many talents I was fascinated by the guzheng in one hand, but unfortunately I was short-lived and talented." Yang Zaixing secretly said to Zhao Qing, this is obviously a woman with a story. Zhao Qing immediately became interested and listened attentively.
The guzheng has a very good timbre, and the slow tone is very felt, and Zhao Qing feels that this prelude is very familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere.
"When is the bright moon, put the wine...
Sure enough, after the first sentence came out, Zhao Qing knew the name of this song, which turned out to be Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", which has been circulated for thousands of years, and it was already a classic in his time. Could it be that there is also Su Shi in this world? It seems that Shen Wansan has not changed everything, at least this song that should have been passed down through the ages still appears tenaciously.
The words are poignant, so that Zhao Qing also gave birth to a trace of homesickness, although he was only away from home for about ten days, but thousands of years apart, he didn't know if he had a chance to go back, thinking of the scene with his parents at the end, he felt a little moist in the corners of his eyes.
"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." Involuntarily, he sang the words along.
Rou Niang looked at Zhao Qing with some surprise: "Zhao Gongzi lives in seclusion in the mountains, and he actually knows Shen Wansan's "Water Tune Song Head"? ”
"What? You said that this "Water Tune Song Head" was written by Shen Wansan? Zhao Qing couldn't help but scream and asked, and the little homesickness he had finally evoked suddenly disappeared.
"Of course, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lyrics Meeting that year, Shen Wansan's song "Water Tune Song Head" shocked the world, spread the world, and also created a precedent for bold lyricists, Wan Sanye is not only a generation of giant businessmen, but also a generation of writers." Rou Niang's eyes showed a hint of fascination, imagining a certain majestic image.
Zhao Qing reacted immediately. Who wouldn't steal some of the best things that came before them? Shameless, shameless, Shen Wansan, you despicable villain. Zhao Qing scolded in his heart, this feeling of being the first to be taken is really bad.
"Listening to what Zhao Gongzi said, could it be that the author of this "Water Tune Song Head" is someone else? Could it be that he was an unborn literati in the Valley of Ghosts? Sensing Zhao Qing's strange appearance, Rou Niang asked keenly, she was very interested in the secret news of the Ghost Valley.
Zhao Qing coughed lightly a few times, and already had a certain resistance to Rou Niang's temptation, and said: "This poem was only memorized by Shizun, as for who the author is, I really don't know in Xia." I wonder if Shen Wansan has any other works? ”
This must be asked clearly, how can Zhao Qing miss such a good thing of stealing other people's good fortune, he has to ask Shen Wansan first what he has used, otherwise he will be ruined if he uses it with him at that time.
"Although Shen Wansan is a generation of writers, but the lyrics are scarce, only more than ten songs, but each song is a masterpiece, the concubine has a collection of Wansan words, if Zhao Gongzi is interested, the concubine can be sent to Zhao Gongzi." Rou Niangjiao smiled.
There are only more than ten songs, Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Shen Wansan didn't "compose lyrics" at every turn, otherwise he, a latecomer, wouldn't even be able to drink the soup.
Later, Rou Niang sang a few more songs, all of which were in the Wansan word collection, Zhao Qing listened to these familiar poems, and felt sorry for their authors that he couldn't be himself.
The meat on the plate was quickly eaten, and the meat fork in the pot came up one after another, Zhao Qing and Yang Zaixing ate the meat, admired the beauties, listened to the tunes, and felt uncomfortable, but it was a pity that the army could not drink, and the entire Ningjiang Prefecture City was considered to be in the army, Yang Zaixing would never violate the precepts by himself, so he had to keep complaining that he was not happy.
After eating and drinking, drinking the edible yogurt, Zhao held his stomach lightly, and took a book and a few pieces of packaged mutton and mutton bones from the smiling Rou Niang with a red face, and he planned to take the bones back to Shirley to gnaw, and the meat was distributed to Master Xiong.
Returning to the dilapidated small courtyard, Zhao Qing had a feeling of being in a different world, yesterday he was still surviving with the homeless people in the wasteland, and today he has a stable foothold.
"Brother Qing'er, you're back!" A sweet voice came, Zhao looked at it, it was the little girl who had been serving Shu Kun, she was the granddaughter of Shu Kun, called Chen Ke, she had cleaned herself up at the moment, very beautiful and lovely, how could she have the appearance of a dirty little flower cat a little bit ago, so that Zhao Qing almost couldn't recognize it.
"Xiao Ke, oh, this is the mutton that Brother Qing'er brought from outside, go and share it with the clansmen." Zhao Qing just smiled at her, stuffed the mutton to her, and carried the bones to find Shirley, who was surrounded by children.
Chen Ke, who felt left out, was aggrieved, and he also dressed up carefully, wanting to change his image in Zhao Qing's eyes, but unfortunately he threw his eyes to the blind man. How did she know that Zhao Qing was unbearably hooked by Rou Niang's fiery figure before, and now she is really not interested in a flat little girl like her.
Shirley is now a big star among the children, no matter how much the adults warn that it is a beast and ask the children to keep their distance, but it doesn't work, as soon as they pick up a gap, the children will scratch and rub around Shirley, making Shirley very comfortable.
Smelling Zhao Qing's smell, Shirley broke free from the children's little hands, circled around Zhao Qing's trouser legs, and quickly aimed at the meat and bones in Zhao Qing's hands, meowing flatteringly, like a cat.
Zhao Qing didn't tease it, and threw the bone with a large piece of meat to Shirley, Shirley immediately picked up the bone and hid in the corner and gnawed it, and roared at the children who were approaching, the movement was very scary, and the children wanted to tease, but they were stopped by Zhao Qing, even if the well-behaved cats and dogs were disturbed when eating, they would look very hideous, Shirley was a wild lynx, and it was not good if the children were injured.
The small courtyard had been cleaned by the women, and the rooms had been assigned, except for the children, who were busy with their own work.
Seeing Zhao Qing coming back, Xiong Ye's face was a little bad, Zhao Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with Dongzi's wound? ”
"It's not Dongzi, it's Chen Tao'er, his face has been ugly since the afternoon, and he can't get up holding his stomach, but he can't find Lang Zhong, I really don't know what to do."
"What? Take me to see it! The most worrying thing happened, Zhao Qing followed Xiong Ye into a room, and looked at Chen Tao'er, who had a painful face and sweat drops on his head, and his heart sank.
