It's rare to have an early meal at noon today, and before the meal arrived, there were few people in the main hall, Zhang Xin picked up a table of eight immortals in the middle of the main hall, and took Lu Jinshi to sit on a bench. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this position is connected to the door and the back hall, and the wind swept through the hall, and the back of the original sweat blown by the breeze was immediately cold, and the comfortable Zhang Xin moaned softly. The two rested for a while, and when they saw Zhang Xi unloading the car and coming back, Zhang Xin pulled out the barrier knife he carried with him and cut the blazing piece of mutton into small pieces on the plate. This piece of mutton has just been roasted, and it has not had time to taste it, and it tastes a little bland. Zhang Xin wanted to get some ingredients, but Zhang Xi said, "Brother Xin, wait...... I went to get three salt bowls, and it just so happened that I hadn't tasted authentic barbecue in a long time. As he spoke, he went to the room to find Aunt Wang and brought back three salt bowls.

There is a way to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the water to eat the water. This is true of food, and even more so of the salt eaten. Since ancient times, salt is irreplaceable necessities, the southeast by the sea to eat more is the sea salt out of the sea, and the southwest is mostly well salt, like the northwest of Longyou, the distance from the southeast sea salt is quite far, from the southwest Sichuan Shu is close, but Bashu since the ancient mountains surrounded, there has long been the difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky. Although Longyou is close to Bashu, the traffic is not as convenient as going to the southeast. Therefore, the land west of the Longyou River had to take materials nearby, laboriously opened the mountain, dug the salt mine, transported the pieces of salty rocks in the mountain out, and then carved these salt rocks into bowls with unique craftsmanship, and when eating meat and vegetables, they were on the bowl with a shabu, so that there was a salt taste. Of course, after Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty took all the land in Xixi, Hexi, and included the largest "salt lake" in the northwest into the territory, and the northwest began to replace rock salt with lake salt on a large scale in the late Zhenguan period, and the price of official salt also fell again and again, and in the later period of Zhongzong, Longyou was no longer short of salt, and rock salt gradually faded out of people's field of vision. However, this traditional barbecue with salt bowl still feels a different taste when you taste it occasionally.

After a while, Lao Wang carried a wine jar in one hand and sent it to the table of the three, which was the fruit wine made from peaches, plums and other fruits as mentioned before. Zhang Xin had long heard Zhang Xi talk about how delicious this fruit wine was, and he couldn't wait to lift a jar and pat open the mud seal, and a light aroma wafted out, the aroma of this fruit wine was far less than the strong and mellow aroma of sorghum wine, but it was faint, faint, and had a light and elegant taste.

Zhang Xin lifted the wine jar and filled a big bowl for each of the three of them, and put the wine jar aside. As an alcoholic, it is natural to taste this wine first. I first picked up the big bowl in front of me and looked carefully, and found that this fruit wine was not as dull and yellow as sorghum wine, but rather like the liquor of later generations. A small sip, feel sweet and delicious, the taste of the wine itself is not heavy, and with a little sweet aroma unique to the fruit, especially this has just been brought out of the cellar, mixed with the cold air that has just been brought out of the cellar, I just feel as if a stream of ice flows down the esophagus to the stomach, drink a sip in this summer, how can I get a "cool" word?

It's late summer, it's hot, it's noon, and it's hot outside. In such a hot and dry weather, I went into the shady room, the wind blew in the small hall, the small fruit wine was drunk, and two mouthfuls of barbecue were sandwiched from time to time...... In this hot summer, it is really a fairy treat.

After three rounds of drinking, the number of guests in the main hall gradually increased. Although this fruit wine is light, it tastes like a juice and a light wine, but this kind of wine with a low alcohol content but a clear taste is easier to attract than strong sorghum wine. Zhang Xin's own alcohol consumption is good, plus his physical fitness after practicing martial arts far surpasses others, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a large amount of it, so yesterday's sorghum wine drank a jar and a half by himself, and he could have about three or four catties, but he was not dizzy at all, but his face was a little red. But today I only drank a small half jar of fruit wine, and I felt a little upset when the breeze blew. Seeing that the food and drink were almost over, Zhang Xin divided the last bit of wine in the jar into three parts, picked up the bowl and touched it with Zhang Xi and Lu Jinshi, "Dry!" As soon as the three of them craned their necks, they drank the last bit of fruit wine.

Zhang Xin staggered to his feet, and was about to go back to take a nap when a sharp and piercing voice suddenly came: "Don't you Tang people dare to admit it!" ”

Zhang Xin frowned, followed the prestige, and saw the Turkic boy who sold horses in the market before standing in front of Lao Wang's counter with a dozen or so Turkic men, and asked Lao Wang with horizontal eyebrows, this young man spoke sharply and thinly, and it sounded quite strange.

Lao Wang may have been open for a long time, and the fire of the army in the early years has long been grinded out. Although he was questioned so unceremoniously by this young man, he still said kindly: "This brother, of course we dare to admit what we did, but the problem is that the sheep you lost has nothing to do with us." Every sheep we eat is clean, besides, although the store is small and thin, but a few sheep are still bought, so why do you need to go and take it without telling us? ”

In these two sentences, Zhang Xin has already sorted out the causes and consequences, most of which are due to the lack of sheep brought by the Turkic boy, and seeing that Lao Wang roasted mutton here at noon, he suspected that Lao Wang stole the sheep. But what Lao Wang said is reasonable and convincing, not to mention that Lao Wang is not the first day to eat mutton here, and this Turkic boy doesn't ask clearly, so he comes to mess around, which is really annoying.

But after thinking about it, looking at the Turkic boy's dress, it is estimated that he is also fed by the family, and it is estimated that he is also used to being arrogant, and it is understandable that he has no social experience.

The Turkic boy said, "Hmph, who knows if what you said is true or false?" You Tang people are cunning, I don't believe it anyway. Unless you ask me to search your room! ”

Lao Wang shook his head and said: "The state has national laws, there are rules, this group of houses is not who wants to enter who can enter, although the guests lose their sheep and are impatient, I also understand, but please also understand the small shop, although the shop is small, but the room is not who wants to enter can enter, and you can search if you want to." ”

The Turkic boy snorted coldly, "To put it bluntly, or is your heart weak?" If you didn't steal the sheep, why didn't you let me search for it? ”

Lao Wang said: "The guest officer misunderstood, the shop is by no means secretive, but this is a rule handed down by the ancestors, no matter what, the room is not allowed to let guests in." If the guest insists on searching, it is not impossible, turn left out of the store, about 150 steps is Niuma Street, and walk 300 steps east along Niuma Street is the county government of this county, as long as the county lieutenant says to search, there is no other thing to say about the shop. ”

"No way!" The Turkic boy said angrily, "Don't push back here, I'm a Turkic duke...... Turkic nobles, it's your honor to search your broken shop, come on, search for me! ”

Lao Wang listened to what the Turkic boy said, the original kind smile was gone, replaced by a cold face, and limped to the door of the room, "I respect you as a guest to persuade me, if you say so, then I can't search for you, when can the Turks be reckless in the land of the Tang people?" Phew," he said, spitting thick phlegm on the ground, "Lao Tzu cut down more Turks than you have ever seen when he was a soldier, when will it be your turn to go wild?" ”

The big man behind the Turkic boy wanted to rush into the room, but he was blocked by Lao Wang at the door, and he looked at the Turkic boy with a look on his face. Lao Wang is old and disabled, any Turkic man can push him to the ground with a slight push, but it is such a disabled uncle to stand at the door, there is really a bit of abyss and Yuezhi's bearing, the Turkic boy is not light or heavy, but these Turkic men know that if it is really the old king who stole their sheep, it will be fine, if the old king did not steal, if they hurt the old king for no reason, it will not end well, and they will stand together to see what the Turkic young man says.

The Turkic boy's face was red when he was crowned by the old king, his chest rose and fell, and he was short of breath, thinking that when he was Turkic, how could anyone dare to talk to him like this? If the Tang Dynasty officials with heads and faces said so, it would be fine, but this is still an old, ugly and disabled "inferior person" who runs an inn, and he was so angry that he pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist, and the whip was like Lao Wang's face.
