Chapter 349: Covering Your Head
Song Yun'er held Shui Wanqi's hand very affectionately, and after greeting Yang Qiuchi, the two went into the courtyard together with a smile. Peng Jiafu originally wanted to pull Hong Aya to play with him, but Shui Wanqi knew that Hong Aya was going to go out with Yang Qiuchi and them, so she let Yahuan go in with Peng Jiafu.
Peng Hexi learned that Yang Qiuchi was going out for a walk, and said that he would send two house slaves to follow him to make an introduction, but Yang Qiuchi refused, only saying that he would go around the door and come back in a while. took Hongyan and Nangong Xiong and other guards out of Pengjiazhuang, asked the house slave who was guarding the door about the direction of the "Enzhiyang" restaurant, and walked away.
Walking on the streets of the ancient town, when the pedestrians saw the old man coming, they all avoided on both sides, and stood respectfully with their hands down, but Yang Qiuchi greeted these people with a smile.
When they came to the door of the restaurant of "Enzhiyang", the old shopkeeper was an old man in his sixties who looked very kind, and when they saw Yang Qiuchi, they stopped, and hurriedly greeted Xiao Er together, kneeling down and kowtowing.
"The big man came to the small shop, which really made the small shop shine! The little one is really scared. ”
Yang Qiuchi picked up the old shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Old man, are you old Guigeng?" ”
"If you say so, the untouchables are twenty-two in their year-old," replied the old shopkeeper tremblingly;
Yang Qiuchi and others walked into the restaurant and found that although the restaurant was small, it looked elegantly furnished and clean.
The old shopkeeper invited Yang Qiuchi to sit down, and quickly asked Xiao Er to take out the best tea leaves for Yang Qiuchi, and stood bent to the side, waiting for Yang Qiuchi's orders.
Yang Qiuchi asked the old shopkeeper to sit down and talk, but the old shopkeeper didn't dare.
"Old man, sit down, let's talk well, you stand like this, I always feel that my neck is always high, can you bear my neck so hard?" Yang Qiuchi said to the old shopkeeper with a smile.
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't insist anymore, so he had to carefully sit on the chair on the side of Yang Qiuchi with half of his buttocks.
"Old man, what's your surname?"
"The untouchables are surnamed Shangguan, Shangguan Zhe." The old man said.
When Yang Qiuchi heard this, he admired: "Good name, is the old man's hometown here?" ”
Shangguan Zhe smiled and shook his head.
Hongya asked softly: "Master, let's let the store serve you some food first, it's this time, you haven't eaten anything yet, so your body can't stand it." ”
When Shangguan Zhe heard this, he hurriedly called Xiao Er over: "Hurry up and get some delicious dishes for the adults, hurry up, you know?" ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how fast you are, you have to light a fire to cook, let's talk first, don't rush too much." ”
Shangguan Zhe also smiled: "If you don't dislike it, there are some snacks and snacks in our store, bring them up, you can taste them, these can't be eaten anywhere else, even if you eat them by luck, it's not authentic." ”
"Okay, if there are any special snacks in Enyang Town, let's bring them up." Yang Qiuchi was really a little hungry.
After a while, Xiao Er sent a few plates of snacks and snacks, and Shangguan Zhe explained them to Yang Qiuchi one by one.
Shangguan Zhe pointed to a dish shaped like a full moon, golden in color, and dense white sesame seeds on the full moon, like a sky full of stars to decorate the hemp cake more cute small snack and said: "The dim sum is called the sugar sesame cake, the taste is the world, yellow but not burnt, the skin is crispy, sweet and slag." There are 72 processes, the way is fine, and it is made of eight kinds of materials, such as fine noodles, glutinous rice, barley, brown sugar, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and sesame oil. ”
Yang Qiuchi was already salivating when he saw it, and it was easy to wait for Shangguan Zhe to finish his introduction, so he quickly took a piece and put it in his mouth: "Master, be careful of being hot!" Shangguan Zhe hurriedly reminded, but Yang Qiuchi had already put it in his mouth, just biting it gently, and the melted brown sugar in the snack was so hot that Yang Qiuchi couldn't swallow it, nor did he vomit, Shangguan Zhe was very embarrassed, but Yang Qiuchi himself laughed vaguely.
Shangguan Zhe saw that Yang Qiuchi's interest was very high, so he pointed to another plate, which were four golden round pastries, Yang Qiuchi wanted to take them with his hands, who thought that this pastry was extremely soft, and it fell apart when he touched it, Shangguan Zhe picked up a bamboo spoon from the side of the plate, and carefully held out one side of the pastry with his other hand and handed it to Yang Qiuchi.
"My lord, this pastry is created by Xiaomin, called 'Poppy', can you try it?" Yang Qiuchi listened to the name and was much more elegant than the piece he had just eaten, and the things in his mouth were named after beauties, wouldn't it really be true that he responded to the words of "beautiful and delicious"?
Thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi took a bite lightly, but he didn't expect it to melt in his mouth, smooth and sweet, with a faint fragrance of corn.
Hong Aya saw that Yang Qiuchi liked to eat, so she paid attention, although her cooking skills were first-class, but the pastry making process could not be seen from the appearance alone, and she couldn't help asking: "Old man, I'm afraid that your pastry has a lot of origins, can you tell me how to do it?" ”
Since the beautiful Hong Aya entered this store, the little two stared at Hong Aya without turning his eyes, and when he heard Hong Aya ask, he hurriedly smiled and interjected: "This is the signboard of our store, and it is the ancestral secret recipe of the shopkeeper of Shangguan, which generally can't be talked about casually, but since Miss asked, ...... it."
"No rules! Don't let me go down yet. Shangguan Zhe's face sank and he scolded. Xiao Er was startled and quickly bowed down and retreated.
Yang Qiuchi also felt justified when he heard it: "Okay, Hongyan, that's someone's signboard, if you learn it, won't you continue to make a living." It's okay not to talk about such things. ”
When Shangguan Zhe heard this, he hurriedly got up and said: "Don't blame the lord, it was Xiao Minping who indulged these guys, and you must forgive me for the offense." ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled and motioned to Shangguan Zhe to sit down: "The old man doesn't have to be formal, what I said is also the truth, if I want to eat in the future, I will naturally eat it, anyway, Enyang is not far from Bazhou, or eat the original taste you made, hehe." ”
After hearing this, Shangguan Zhe nodded again and again with a smiling face: "The eldest master is really a good person!" ”
Yang Qiuchi said: "Old man, I will ask you something. ”
Shangguan Zhe bowed down and said, "Master, please say, the villain knows everything, and he has no end to it." ”
"Peng Si, do you know each other?"
"Peng Si? Is that the Peng Si who was found dead on the dock this morning? ”
"Hmm."
"How can you not know it, it's all in the same town, besides...... Besides, he is Master Peng's own family, helping Master Peng take care of things on the dock, who in this town doesn't know him. ”
It seems that this Peng Si is still a celebrity in Enyang Town. Yang Qiuchi then asked, "What is his character?" ”
"This ...... This one...... It's still pretty good. Shangguan Zhe said this, but the expression on his face was quite disapproving, but it is a virtue not to speak ill of the dead.
Of course Yang Qiuchi knew this, he picked up another pastry, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, smiling and looking at Shangguan Zhe without speaking.
Shangguan Zhe was furious when Yang Qiuchi saw it, lowered his head and whispered, "This Peng Si...... Sometimes...... Some things are a little too ......."
"I know what you think, so let's do it, I don't embarrass your old man, you just need to tell me, did this Peng Si have any intentions against Peng Hexi, Master Peng's wife Shui Wanqi?"
"This ...... It's hard to say this villain...... Villains do business in a proper manner, those things ...... The villain didn't dare to inquire. ”
It seems that this matter involves **, and this old man Shangguan is very cautious. Yang Qiuchi simply asked bluntly: "Did Peng Si come to your store the night before yesterday to buy a box of dim sum?" ”
Shangguan Zhe was slightly stunned when he heard Yang Qiuchi suddenly ask about this, and was a little worried about whether there was a problem with the box of pastries he sold to Peng Si, but this kind of thing can't be concealed, so he nodded: "Yes, I came to buy it." ”
"Did he say what he bought it for?"
"I didn't ...... I haven't said that, and I don't dare to ask ......, but...... Later...... "This Shangguan Zhe wanted to speak and stopped."
Yang Qiuchi had already finished eating the pastry in his hand and said: "Old man, I am investigating the case, and what I am investigating is the bizarre death case of Peng Si, the situation you know may be very useful for me to solve the case, so if you know anything, you must tell me, don't worry, I won't tell others what you said." Good no good? ”
Yang Qiuchi's words hit the thing that Shangguan Zhe was most worried about, his old face turned red, and he cowered in embarrassment: "How ...... Thank you, my lord, ...... like this, the night before yesterday, Peng Si had dinner at my place...... He always kept accounts for his meals, but he never gave money...... I also drank half a catty of Laojiao wine, and then asked me to wrap a box of pastries, humming a little song and going to Pengjiazhuang. ”
"I heard that he rarely comes to Pengjiazhuang, doesn't he?" Yang Qiuchi asked.
"Yes, Old Man Peng doesn't like him to come to the village very much, if it weren't for his family's sake, and this Peng Si still has a lot of skills in managing the dock coolies, this Old Man Peng would have swept him out of the house a long time ago."
"Oh? Why doesn't this old man Peng like this Peng Si coming to the village? Yang Qiuchi asked with interest.
Since Shangguan Zhe had already opened his mouth, of course, he continued to say: "I don't know why, but I heard that this Peng Si did something to the maids and wives in the village, the old man was very angry, and he was going to choose one from the maids to give him, he was either a suspect with a mediocre appearance, or a suspect with a low status, but a serious female doll, who would be willing to give it to him." ”
Song Yun'er had already heard this more clearly, Yang Qiuchi turned the topic and asked, "The night before yesterday, he took the pastries from you and went to Pengjiazhuang, have you seen him after that?" ”
"I've seen it, why haven't I seen it, he went for a while and came out with his head covered, returned to my small shop, scolded and asked for half a catty of old cellar wine, and went back with a bag of cooked beef."
"Cover your head?" Yang Qiuchi's eyes lit up, "What is he doing with his head covered?" ”
