Su Haoyi had never seen such a sudden rain, and it was almost poured down his head.

The carriage canopy was soaked in tung oil to protect it from the rain, but it was impossible to go any further.

It's only been less than a third of the way, and the horses won't be able to stand it if they go any further, not to mention the ink boy who is driving the car.

Su Haocheng looked at the side of the road and recognized where he had gone, so he said: "We'd better go to the small shop on the side of the road to take shelter from the rain, this rain will come and go quickly, and it's not too late to hurry when it stops." ”

There were umbrellas in the car, and there were more than one. Mo Tong helped Su Haoyi out of the car first, and Sima Lantai also came down.

Even in this situation, Sima Lantai was still as calm as usual, and calmly followed Su Haoyi into the Zhu Po Po Luo'er shop next to him. Even if his clothes are wet and his hair is blown up, he is still calm.

Mo Tong hurriedly took a handkerchief and gave it to Su Haoyi and his son-in-law, at this time there were no customers in the store, and the small shop was very clean. Su Haoyi is a frequent visitor here, and greeted the shopkeeper with a smile.

Granny Zhu is too old to take care of business in the store, and now it is her daughter and son-in-law who run the store. Fortunately, the husband and wife are also diligent people, and the business in the store is still as good as usual.

"A few people, please take a seat," Sister Zhu brought a pot of tea and three teacups: "Thanks to this rain, my small shop can also be luxurious." ”

Of course, Sister Zhu knew that Su Haoyi was here to take shelter from the rain, Sima Lantai was very famous, although Sister Zhu had only seen him from afar, but when she saw him, she had no doubt that this must be the first son of the famous capital.

"There is Sister Lao," Su Haoyi said while pouring tea, "Is there a boiled snail?" Give us two plates. ”

This snail shop specializes in cooked snails, including large and small snails.

"Yes, yes, just marinated." Sister Zhu replied with a smile: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"You have to instigate hand snails, a plate of spiced ones, a plate of sweet and sour ones, and a plate of mixed ones." Su said kindly: "It's all packed with buds." ”

"Wait a minute." Sister Zhu said, "I'll go to the back kitchen to get it." ”

"It's boring to sit idly, let's try his instigating snails, the taste is really good." Su Haoyi smiled and said to Sima Lantai: "Gongzi usually doesn't eat these folk things, but today by chance, he should taste something fresh!" ”

Sister Zhu is really a quick person, and when she turned around, she had already brought a big vermilion tray over, and there were four or five plates in it.

Su said kindly: "This plate is mixed up for this little fairy." ”

Mo Tong sat at the table next to him, and Su Haoyi also helped him order one when he ordered.

The instigation snail is made of large snails, and most people use toothpicks when eating, because the snail meat is shrunk in the shell and it is not easy to dig.

Therefore, each plate of snail meat should be accompanied by more than a dozen toothpicks.

And the instigator snails here are packed in an envelope-sized flower bud, this kind of flower Tiandu people call it pocket flower, a flower is divided into six petals, the color is snow-white, the smell is fragrant.

The most rare thing is that its petals are flexible and not easy to break, although it is double-layered, but they are all sealed, and the side near the center of the flower is cut off to be a natural pocket.

Many people in Tiandu like to eat snail meat, and often love to take it away, and most stores use oily paper bags.

Granny Zhu was ingenious, and took this petal to hold the instigation snail, and one of them just filled a plate.

It is very convenient to hold in the hand, and even if it is discarded after use, it will be soiled in a few days, and it will not be dirty at all.

In addition to the instigation snails ordered by Su Haoyi, Sister Zhu also sent a plate of mustard sea melon seeds and four dishes of side dishes. They are all clean and clean, and they are very particular.

"Childe, don't do it, I'll peel it for you." Su had the courage to invite Sima Lantai to eat the instigation snail, but he would never dare to let him do it himself. Even his snow-white clothes, splashing a stain on it is blasphemous. Besides, his clothes are long robes and wide sleeves, so no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for eating instigating snails.

Su Haoyi asked Sister Zhu for a pocket flower again, spread it on the plate in front of Sima Lantai, and carefully picked the snail meat with a toothpick and put it on it.

Polished the new bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Sima Lantai: "Childe try it." ”

"I'll just do it myself." Sima Lantai also had to learn from Su Haoyi's appearance and go directly to catch it.

"Wait, wait." Su Haoyi hurriedly jumped up and carefully rolled up Sima Lantai's sleeve, and put two handkerchiefs on his placket.

He was also a little worried: "There is a lot of juice hidden in this snail, which is easy to splash, so the son is slower." ”

It wasn't until he saw that Sima Lantai could smoothly eat the instigation snail with a toothpick that Su Haoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

And the ink boy on the side was already eating happily, and he couldn't wipe the oily soup on his hands, and said: "Su Gongzi is really a know-it-all in this capital, and it tastes so good to choose a small shop." ”

"It's a coincidence," Su said kindly, "We just happened to stop here." ”

"Why don't you eat it?" Sima Lantai asked Su for kindness, he ate very elegantly, peeled one and wiped his hands.

Su Haoyi thought to himself, even if such a person eats secretly, it is not easy to be discovered.

"Ah, eat, eat." Su Haoyi picked up a snail and put it to his mouth and sucked it gently, and ate the snail meat in his mouth.

"Huh? Su Gongzi, don't you use a toothpick? Mo Tong was surprised.

"Hehe, I'm a veteran of eating snails, so I don't need a toothpick." Su said with a smile.

In fact, she learned this trick from a girl in the Chu Waist Pavilion, the key is that the tongue can be used hard, and it tastes fast and delicious.

Su Haoyi is quite studious, the girls in the Chu Waist Pavilion often change tricks when they have something to ask her, Su Haoyi agrees if she wants to learn, and let them change if she doesn't want to learn.

She thinks that if Yiduo doesn't press down anyway, it will be better than not.

The freshly brewed snails have a sweet taste and a quiet floral fragrance, which is a rare taste in autumn.

"I used to eat this when I was a kid." Sima Lantai said: "At that time, I hadn't gone to Xianyuan Mountain, and my mother liked to use this to drink. ”

"Madame must be a very interesting person," Su said sincerely, "I have always felt that the instigator snail is the most suitable thing to drink, especially rice wine." On a rainy day, prepare a large plate of snail meat, rice wine is boiled with ginger slices and rock sugar, while watching the rain, while drinking and eating snails, and then there are one or two people who know their neighbors, it is really a great joy in life. ”

Sue loves rain, so she is always most relaxed on rainy days.

At this time, the rain did not stop for a while, and it was still raining hard.

At the same time, Princess Mu Jaer was hurrying to Yuxian Tower.

"Princess, it's raining too much, why don't we avoid it?" The one who was in the car asked.

"You rice buckets! It's just a little raining, what's the point you can't go?! Mu Jaer scolded: "Today is the knife, you have to send me there!" ”

Sadly, the princess easily rushed to Yuxian Tower, but found that Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai did not come at all.

"Princess, the rain is too heavy, the general's bridge has been flooded, and people in the north of the city don't want to come." His subordinates reported the truth.

"Even God can't get along with me!" Mu Yan'er snorted angrily and had nowhere to vent.

On this day, Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai sat in Granny Zhu's shop until the rain stopped late at night before they went back.
