Chapter 39: Descending the Mountain
From Qingyunmen to Heyang City, on this way, the four most "outstanding" disciples of Qingyunmen, Yujian, came easily, and rushed to Heyang, in order to avoid causing panic among ordinary people, the four of them fell outside the city, and after a short rest, the four of them walked towards the tall Heyang City in the sunset.
Along the way, Zeng Shushu smiled at Ye Chen and Zhang Xiaofan and introduced Heyang City: "Within a radius of 100 miles, this is the largest and most prosperous place. The people living in this city have 200,000 or 300,000 people, and the geographical location is good, and there are many business trips, which is even more lively! ”
Ye Chen was okay, after all, he had also settled in Heyang City at the beginning, and Zhang Xiaofan had never gone down the mountain to listen to it, and he really admired Zeng Shushu's erudition and knowledge, and said: "Shushu, how do you know everything?" ”
Zeng Shushu said proudly: "What is this, I will know it after reading more books." Saying that, he smiled slyly, secretly attached his ear to Zhang Xiaofan's ear, and whispered: "Actually, I have been here many times, and I have sneaked down the mountain." ”
Zhang Xiaofan was taken aback and said, "You, you,"
Zeng Shushu pursed his mouth and said, "Look at how scared you are?" What is this. Since I practiced the art of imperial sword, I naturally have to practice it often, and I fly here and fly, and what is the great deal about going shopping when I am tired! ”
Zhang Xiaofan was dumbfounded.
Listening to the two of them muttering behind him, Ye Chen smiled slightly, and said to Lu Xueqi beside him: "Senior Sister Lu, it's getting late, let's spend the night here tonight, and let's hurry tomorrow." ”
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as ice, without the slightest expression, only nodded lightly.
Ye Chen was not embarrassed, when he entered the city, in order to avoid trouble, they changed the clothes of the Qingyunmen disciples early in the morning, which did not arouse any suspicion, but Lu Xueqi's beautiful appearance caused quite a stir, causing many passers-by to stop and watch. Ye Chen glanced at Lu Xueqi on the side, and saw that although she was expressionless, a trace of anger flashed in her bright eyes, and he couldn't help but worry about these passers-by, don't provoke Lu Xueqi with one or two eyes that don't have long eyes! In case it angers Tianya out of the sheath, I am afraid that this historic ancient city will be destroyed by half first.
However, Lu Xueqi's cultivation is obviously relatively good, and until they lived in an inn called "Shanhaiyuan", Lu Xueqi did not move.
Zeng Shu's children's shoes obviously often go down the mountain and are very familiar with this place, so he naturally stepped forward to take care of things like this kind of hotel, and then they were arranged by the store to live in the best back garden.
The scale of this Shanhaiyuan is quite large, there are four other gardens in the back garden, the four of them live in the West Garden, each of them has a house, go back to rest for a while, Zeng Shushu will call everyone excitedly, go to the front restaurant to eat.
Shanhaiyuan has its own restaurant, located on the most lively street in Heyang City, but in the VIP hall on the third floor, it is very clean, there are less than ten tables in the spacious hall, and now there are about five tables with guests eating. Zeng Shushu called Xiao Er and ordered a few dishes, seeing that he was very familiar with this place, most of them were regular customers.
This mountain and sea garden is worthy of a luxurious place, after the second floor when the hall is magnificent, but to the third floor to see carved dragons and phoenixes, mahogany beams, antique, and the second floor is completely different. Ye Chen naturally knew that if people in this world were wealthy, they would pursue their status and taste, even though some people like brilliance and luxury, but in order to let people say that they have some cultivation, vassal elegance is also common.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few plates of side dishes to the table, especially at the end there was a plate of fresh stewed fish, see that the body of the fish is extended, the front part is round, the back side is narrow, the body is dark brown, there are two pairs of whiskers, thick and long. The most important thing is that the meat is white and fragrant, which makes people appetize.
Zhang Xiaofan has always been interested in cooking, and he has never seen this kind of fish, so he couldn't help but say to the shopkeeper: "Little second brother, what is this fish called, and how is it cooked?" ”
The shopkeeper laughed: "Guest officer, you really have a vision, this 'stewed fish' is the signature dish of our Shanhaiyuan, fragrant and tender, sweet in the mouth, within a hundred miles of this Heyang City, but it is very famous......"
Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva, picked up the chopsticks and put them in his mouth, immediately closed his eyes and nodded: "The meat is really good, but it is better cooked, the sweet part is to put some sugar, add ginger slices to remove the smell of fishy shallots, it must be fresh shallots, it is rare to put pepper, five spices, and the taste of sesame oil so well, amazing, amazing!" ”
He looked intoxicated, and Zeng Shushu was dumbfounded, even Lu Xueqi also looked at him, with a strange look on his face, and Ye Chen kept smiling bitterly beside him, but the shopkeeper who was standing on the side was really impressed, and praised loudly: "The guest officer is really a connoisseur, and he knows the goods!" ”
Zhang Xiaofan only noticed the appearance of the people around him at this time, his face turned red, and he hurriedly put down his chopsticks, but he still asked, "May I ask the second brother, where does this fish come from?" ”
Before the shopkeeper could speak, he suddenly heard a woman's voice at a big table next door: "This fish is a specialty of Zhugou Mountain in the south, thousands of miles away from here, how can it be transported, isn't your store a lie?" ”
Everyone was taken aback, looked over, and saw that on the big table, there were eight people, six men in yellow, and two women, one woman was wearing a light purple dress, her face was covered with a light veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but the exposed skin was snow-white; The other woman is the person who spoke, not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a water-green shirt, with a beautiful appearance, thin eyebrows and snow skin, and a pair of bright big eyes that are very smart, which makes people shine, and she is not inferior to Lu Xueqi.
Hearing this, Ye Chen glanced at the woman, then glanced at Zeng Shushu, and his lips moved silently: Baguio?
Zeng Shushu asked what to do?
After Ye Chen shook his head slightly, his eyes fell on Lu Xueqi at his table, as if he was also surprised by Lu Xueqi's appearance. Women love beauty, and they are women like Lu Xueqi, who are usually as cold as ice, but at this moment, they can't help but look at the woman more.
The shopkeeper smiled at this time: "What this guest officer said is, but you don't know, a hundred years ago, this fish was indeed unique to Zhugou Mountain in the south, but later Qingyunmen Dao Xuanzhen passed by Zhugou Mountain, and specially moved this fish back, and put it in the Hongchuan of Qingyun Mountain Yin, which has not only survived, but also gradually flourished." We all rely on the blessings of the Dao Xuan Immortals on Qingyun Mountain to have this blessing! ”
As he spoke, a look of reverence appeared on his face.
Zhang Xiaofan and the others from Qingyunmen saw it, and they were naturally happy and smiling, but when the girl heard this, she turned around and glanced at the woman with a light veil, sat back, but snorted in her mouth.
After eating the delicious meal, Ye Chen and the others returned to their residence satisfied,
Ye Chen said: "Senior Sister Lu, it's still early, or let's ...... together."
"Bang!" Lu Xueqi closed the door, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel depressed, and they didn't even have the intention of going out to play.
Ye Chen looked at Lu Xueqi's door speechlessly, and turned his head to look at the two of them: "Gott~ Let's rest here tonight, and early tomorrow morning, we will set off to Kongsang Mountain." Xiaofan, books, rest early! ”
