Chapter 177: All Vegetarian Seats
"Where is the child's injury?" Yang Qiuchi asked, and then continued in a deep voice: "I warn you, the child's body is still in the village, and it can be examined at any time, you dare to talk nonsense, beware of the suffering!" ”
The man kowtowed and said: "The villain doesn't dare, it seems, it seems to be the forehead and chest, and the thighs seem to be broken." ”
"It's right to admit that you've done something wrong. It is already clear from the location of the child's injury, the child's injury was caused by a frontal impact, you just said that the child suddenly drilled out of the road and was hit by your carriage, according to what you said, the child should have been hit by your carriage on the side, how to explain this? Well? ”
The man's forehead was sweating, and his face was pale: "I recruited, I lied, I drank until the fifth watch last night, only squinted for a while, and then drove the carriage to transport the wood to the charcoal kiln, and it was already late when I set off, I was afraid that the owner would scold, so I drove the carriage away." ”
But I was so sleepy on the road that I didn't notice a child playing on the side of the road. After the carriage crashed, I came to my senses, and when I got down from the carriage, I saw that the child was already spitting blood from his mouth and seemed to be unable to do it, and I was very frightened, and when I saw that there was no one left and right, I secretly carried the child to the ridge and grass and hid it, and then I drove the carriage away. ”
Yang Qiuchi asked Master Jin: "Is this still the boundary of Jingshi Ying Tianfu?" ”
"Yes," Master Jin said, "However, this case does not need to be handed over to Ying Tianfu, there is Taiping Mansion not far ahead, and this place is under the direct jurisdiction of Taiping Mansion, just leave it to them." ”
Yang Qiuchi ordered the man to be put on board, and the carriage was also brought aboard, and the old man's uncle and nephew would also follow as the bitter master.
The case was quickly solved, and Yang Qiuchi and others were in a very happy mood, and they were also interested in drinking.
The group drove for more than an hour and came to Taiping Mansion.
Yang Qiuchi belonged to the officials who traveled far away, and he could be provided with food and lodging by the post stations he passed through. At the same time, the post station of the Ming Dynasty also has the role of a political axe guest house, and it is safe to live in the post station, and the accommodation conditions are also relatively good.
However, it was only noon, and it was not time to stay. Yang Qiuchi asked Nangong Xiong to send the horseman and others who caused the accident to the yamen of the Taiping Mansion and handed them over.
The old man's son was hit by a carriage and died, but he didn't expect to find the perpetrator so quickly, so he was very grateful and kowtowed to Yang Qiuchi to express his gratitude.
After doing this, Yang Qiuchi and others found a big restaurant in Taipingfu City to eat.
Nangong Xiong sent a brocade guard to go up to the second floor to conduct a guard search, but no suspicious characters were found, and after arranging the guard, he asked Yang Qiuchi and others to get off the carriage.
Yang Qiuchi got out of the carriage, and the cold wind blew, making him shiver with cold. The little maid Yuechan hurriedly put on a fox fur cloak for Yang Qiuchi, which Feng Xiaoxue specially made for Yang Qiuchi.
Yuechan helped Mrs. Bai get out of the carriage, Yang Qiuchi was about to volunteer to help Bai Sumei behind, Song Yun'er had already taken a step to help Bai Sumei get out of the carriage first, and at the same time said to Yang Qiuchi: "Brother, it's so cold outside, you go in first, beware of catching a cold!" ”
Yang Qiuchi's conspiracy did not succeed, and he was embarrassed to intervene, so he snorted and trotted to the restaurant.
Although this restaurant is not as good as the big restaurant in Yingtianfu, it is still clean and elegant. When the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw the formation of Yang Qiuchi and the others, he knew that it was not small, so he ran out to greet him personally. greeted Yang Qiuchi and others to the elegant seat on the second floor.
There were not many people in the restaurant in winter, and with a few brocade guards with cross-body waist knives like wolves, the only few diners on the second floor also rushed to settle the bill and slipped away.
Yang Qiuchi was a little embarrassed, but it was okay to do this, safety first on the journey.
There was a stove in the private seat, Yang Qiuchi got into the room, it was warm, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood at the door like a gentleman, and welcomed Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei, who came up later, into the private seat.
After everyone sat down. Master Long was responsible for the food and daily life on this road, and ordered a fine banquet.
Yang Qiuchi called the shopkeeper over and asked, "Will your restaurant do a vegetarian banquet?" ”
The shopkeeper ushered in and sent to anyone who had never seen it, Bai Sumei was dressed in a plain robe, although her hair was a little long, she was wearing a nun hat, and the shopkeeper immediately saw that she was a monk. Now listening to Yang Qiuchi's question, he immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are here to the right place, our restaurant is a must." Famous near and far, mainly fresh, quiet and quiet, with a wide variety of colors, exquisite production......"
"Okay, okay," Yang Qiuchi interrupted his introduction with a smile, "Is there an imitation meat and vegetarian table, like any Luohan vegetarian food, vinegared eel silk, three fresh sea cucumbers, fan-faced white jade and the like?" ”
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, "I can't see it, you are still an expert, sir." ”
"Then pick up the delicate ones. Hurry up, let's have a vegetarian feast first! ”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper was about to go out, but Yang Qiuchi stopped him again, leaned into his ear and muttered a few words, and the shopkeeper ran out with a huff and a loud promise.
Song Yun'er looked at Yang Qiuchi suspiciously: "Brother, why does what you ordered just now sound like a meat dish?" ”
"You don't know this, this is called imitation meat dishes, is a major feature of the temple's vegetarian dishes, mainly made of gluten, the appearance is exactly the same as the real meat dishes, the name is also the name of the meat dish, but it is tofu, noodles and other vegetarian raw materials. Very realistic. ”
Song Yun'er said curiously: "Brother, why do you even understand Su Yan?" Have you ever been a monk? ”
"No," Yang Qiuchi blinked and teased her: "However, I was a great monk in my previous life. ”
Song Yun'er gave him a roll of his eyes: "It's not serious!" ”
Along the way, Yang Qiuchi and they drank wine and ate meat, Bai Sumei could only drink tea, her stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and she went to the restaurant, thinking about what Yang Qiuchi would do if he only ordered meat dishes. Hearing that Yang Qiuchi ordered a table of all-vegetarian seats, and asked to go first, as if she could see that she was hungry, Bai Sumei was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Young Master Yang." ”
"You're welcome, White Girl, just say what you want to eat." Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.
Su Yan soon came up.
Since the last time Beishao Village was attacked by the Jianwen Yu Party, Nangong Xiong knew that the Jianwen Yu Party would do whatever it took to kill Yang Qiuchi. In order to prevent Jianwen Yu from poisoning, since then, Yang Qiuchi and his family's meals from procurement to cooking Nangong Xiong have arranged guards to supervise the whole process, and after making it, they also specially tested it with silver hairpins, and bought a cage of live chickens to test whether it is poisonous.
Now the whole process of making this vegetarian banquet has also been strictly supervised in the kitchen by the brocade guards sent by Nangong Xiong and inspected by silver hairpins and live chickens, so Yang Qiuchi is very relieved, beckoned Bai Sumei to move his chopsticks, and asked others to follow him to eat vegetarian feast.
Although it is very exquisitely done, Yang Qiuchi and these people are all carnivores, and this kind of vegetarian banquet really can't whet your appetite, so just taste it.
Bai Sumei eats with relish, she has not eaten such a delicious meal for a long time, since she became a monk, she eats green vegetables and tofu every day, after being arrested and imprisoned, this food is even worse, although later Ma Du took care of it, the food has improved a lot, first, she is in a bad mood and has no appetite, and secondly, after all, it is still not as delicious as the master chef in the restaurant outside.
Bai Sumei was born in an official eunuch in the end, and her taste is very picky, a girl like her doesn't like to eat meat, so the vegetarian banquet is very suitable for her appetite. Now that I have eaten such a good vegetarian feast again, I am grateful in my heart, and my eyes are a little moist.
"What's wrong? Not to your liking? Yang Qiuchi asked with concern.
Bai Sumei raised her teary eyes and looked at Yang Qiuchi gratefully, shook her head, and didn't speak.
After Bai Sumei finished eating, the shopkeeper brought a head shaving master up, and said to Yang Qiuchi with a huff in his waist: "Master, this is a famous knife in our Taiping Mansion, and the ancestral head shaving technique has been invited to you." ”
Song Yun'er asked in surprise, "Brother, what are you asking the head shaving master to do?" Do you want to shave your head and become a monk like Sister Bai? Then he knew that it was wrong, he was the county master, what kind of family did he have, and he immediately understood after turning his brain, and said: "You saw that Sister Bai's hair was long, and she found a head shaving master to shave her head, right?" ”
Yang Qiuchi nodded. Bai Sumei was even more moved in her heart, and said to Yang Qiuchi: "Young Master Yang, thank you for taking so much pain. ”
Mrs. Bai accompanied her daughter Bai Sumei to the next door to shave her head, and at this time, Yang Qiuchi and their banquet also came up.
Since they had to hurry after eating, everyone simply drank a little wine, ate a full meal, and Bai Sumei also shaved her head.
Continue on your way. In the evening, I went to a small county town to shoot.
Madame Bai's mother and daughter were exiles, and under normal circumstances, they should have been sent to the prison cell of the county yamen for temporary detention, and then brought forward to be escorted away the next day, but now that they are with Yang Qiuchi, they will not be arranged like this.
Yang Qiuchi and others lived in the county post station. A single room was arranged for Mrs. Bai's mother and daughter, Song Yuner and Xia Ping lived next door to Yang Qiuchi, and Nangong Xiong lived on the other side. The other guards, masters, and the official messengers of Ying Tianfu who followed also arranged accommodation, and Nangong Xiong arranged a guard on duty.
Yang Qiuchi lived in the best luxury suite in the post station, and the little maid Yuechan lived in the outside so that she could serve at any time. Yang Qiuchi lives in the middle room.
The service of the post house is very in place, there is hot water ready and there are large wooden barrels to bathe.
After dinner, after a tiring journey, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
The little maid Yuechan had already prepared hot water, served Yang Qiuchi to strip and take a bath, and rubbed his back and massaged. Yang Qiuchi is used to the rotten life of this old society, and he is also used to letting the little maid serve him, and he is no longer as red-faced and red-eared and his heart is pounding like before.
