Chapter 714: West Market
Gu Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Chen, in your Hidden Treasure Pavilion, there are also many rare objects from other countries. Are your caravans also heading to Southeast Asia and the West? β
"Of course! Although there are some risks in buying and selling at sea, the profits often reach hundreds of times or more. Don't worry, though. Our sea vessels, in the country of Yan, and even in the whole world, are the most advanced. Even the sailors of the court also purchased ships from us. In addition, the Hidden Soul Hall also opened up an escort business to protect small maritime merchants from pirates......"
Ling Juechen was dressed by her early, and he was an excellent science and engineering man in his previous life, how could he not use his golden finger to seek greater benefits for himself? Gu Ye estimated that the richest place in the world was not the treasury of the imperial court, but the private treasury of Brother Chen. I don't know if Brother Chen's silver will be moldy......
Ling Juechen sensed her thoughts from the little girl's shining eyes, gently scraped the tip of the little girl's nose, and said with a smile: "Wait for you to marry." Mine is yours, yours is yours. You can just toss your medical research hard, and don't worry about the money and mundane things! β
Gu Ye smiled and said, "Why do I feel like I've got a thick thigh?" β
Speaking of which, Gu Ye has a pharmaceutical factory and a daily chemical factory, and there is no shortage of silver to spend. However, she came late, and her foundation was much shallower than that of Ling Juchen. The Beijing Pharmaceutical Factory has just stepped into the right track, and all the money it earned in the past has been smashed into these two factories. If you think about it, she really doesn't have much silver in her hand. How can it be compared to the accumulation of more than ten years of dust?
Ling Juechen kissed the top of the little girl's hair and said with a smile: "You don't need to hug it, Brother Chen will automatically send his thighs to you!" β
Before they knew it, the two of them had come to the West Market. When you enter the gate of the West Market, you can see some dark-skinned Southeast Asian merchants dressed differently from Middle-earth, as well as some men and women wearing kimonos and hanbok, coming and going on the streets. Occasionally, you can meet blonde and blue-eyed, white people who come from afar.
"Hello!" "Wow of Torture", "Ani Aceyo", "Savadika", ...... Gu Ye yelled at those people, showing off his lame greetings.
Ling Juechen resisted the urge to cover his face, and reminded from time to time: "That is an Eastern European who doesn't understand English. "Even though he came from Southeast Asia, he wasn't necessarily from Thailand." "Are you sure that the one from the Ryukyus can understand your greeting?"
Gu Ye smiled: "What does it matter if you don't understand?" Do you think I'm disgraced to you? β
"How so? You're so cute, don't you see those crooked nuts and smile politely at you? Ling Juechen pinched the little girl's face.
The so-called harmony makes money. Those foreign businessmen are all knowledgeable about goods, not to mention that the BMW under Ling Juechen's crotch is worth 10,000 gold, just talking about the clothing and temperament of the two, it is impossible to find bad luck without opening their eyes.
There are four north-south and east-west streets in the Nishishi, which divide the Nishishi into nine districts. The shops on all sides of the district face the street, and there are still two hours before the closing, and the streets and shops are full of people and business.
"Your subordinate named Gangzi said that there is an old man in the West Market who makes good Hu cakes. I don't know which one? Gu Ye touched his little belly, he was a little hungry!
Ling Juechen took the little girl around a few times and stopped at the mouth of an alley. Gu Ye saw an old man from Xinjiang, with a goatee, a Hui hat, and his hands and feet were quick to make cakes. Beside him, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old took bread and collected money.
"It turns out that the Hu cake is naan! To give or not to clip kebabs? Gu Ye was a little disappointed.
When the little girl heard this, she smiled and said, "Our family's Hu cakes are filled with goat's milk, ghee, eggs, and sugar...... There are also many sesame seeds, and they are the most crispy. Guests from afar come to have a try! β
Shengjing natives, mostly speak dialects. Like Gu Ye and Ling Juechen, those who speak official words are generally foreign guests or officials of the imperial court. The little girl looked at Gu Ye's demeanor and was curious about everything in the West Market, so she guessed that she was a newcomer to Shengjing.
Gu Ye was picked up from his horse by Ling Juechen, took a hu cake from the little girl's hand, opened her round mouth, and shouted softly: "Oh my God! It's a big pie, bigger than my face! β
The little girl dressed as a Uyghur laughed "poof": "The girl has a small face with a slap, and this cake is more than twice the size of your face." Our bread is durable and is perfect for taking with you when you travel long distances. β
Gu Ye held the huge cake, and there was a feeling that it was difficult to swallow. Ling Jiechen paid the copper plate, took the cake and broke it, and handed her the thinnest and crispiest part in the middle.
Gu Ye ate in small bites. When the old man who made the cake saw it, he smiled and said, "Girl, your brother is quite good at hurting his sister!" The essence of the cake is in the middle! β
The Hu cake was crispy and delicious, Gu Ye ate it fresh, and ate two more bites. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "He's not my brother." He's the husband I've set upon! β
The folk customs of Shengjing are more open than those of Dongling. When she said this, her attitude was frank and generous, and the people in line to buy the cake smiled at her knowingly. The old man who sold the cake smiled so much that he squeezed out more lines at the corners of his eyes: "The girl has a good eye." Your fiancΓ© doesn't look like it's in the pool! β
"Of course! He's the famous god of war! Gu Ye took two more bites, feeling a little dry, and stuffed the remaining corner of the cake into Ling Juechen's mouth, and turned on the Xuanfu mode in his mouth.
A guest who was queuing up to sell cakes kindly reminded her: "Girl, the word god of war must not be casually hung in your mouth in Beijing." That cold-faced King Ning is not easy to get along with! β
Gu Ye smiled and said, "If I say, my future husband is King Lengmian Ning." Do you believe it? At this moment, both the bread seller and the cake buyer shook their heads, thinking that she was joking.
Gu Ye giggled, patted Ling Jiechen's chest, sighed and said, "Look at what you King Ning did, no one will believe your public identity!" What a failure! β
Ling Juechen finished eating the little girl's remaining bread, led the little girl to other places, and said inexplicably: "This cake is too dry." Let's go, Brother Chen will take you to eat 'Meatball Hu Spicy Soup'. β
Xishi's "Luo Ji Meatball Hu Spicy Soup" is famous throughout the capital. When Gu Ye sat in the simple restaurant, he found that although it was not a meal, it was overcrowded.
The atmospheric and strong meatballs, with potato wedges, cauliflower, carrots, and fungus, are full of satisfaction when eating. The soup is an old soup made from beef and mutton bones, fresh and thick, plus a spoonful of red and bright chili oil...... Gu Ye was sweating all over his food, and he couldn't say how comfortable he was.
Ling Juechen saw that the little girl had put a lot of chili peppers, and after she drank a few sips, she brought them over and ate them herself. Gu Ye complained endlessly: "Brother Chen, if you want to drink, just order another bowl." Why are you robbing me? β
"There will be delicious mutton steamed buns later, you are full now, and you can only look at the dry eyes for a while!" The little girl has a delicate stomach, and Ling Juechen is afraid that she will eat too much spicy spicy soup and feel sick to her stomach later.
"Okay!" Gu Ye opened his mouth to take the meatballs sent by Brother Chen, chewed them carefully, and said in his mouth, "I feel that this Shengjing is similar to Xi'an in my previous life." Even the types of food are pretty much the same. β
"In your previous life, you went to Xi'an?" Ling Juechen drank the spicy soup in a few sips, paid the bill, took the little girl's hand, and walked in the West Market.
Gu Ye glanced at him and said, "If you haven't been there, can't you see it from books and TV shows?" Not to mention anything else, isn't this mutton steamed bun a typical Xi'an delicacy? Didn't Su Shi write the poem 'Long cuisine has bear wax, Qin cooks only lamb soup'? β
Ling Juechen nodded slightly, and praised the little girl seriously: "I didn't expect that the little dark night of studying medicine would be proficient in poetry and read poetry books." Admire it below! β
Gu Ye wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't bother to memorize other people's poems." This Su Dongpo is a gourmand who created 'Dongpo meat', 'Dongpo elbow' and 'Dongpo tofu'. Anything related to eating, this girl can remember it firmly! β
Ling Juechen looked at her dotingly, it was really a snack! It's a pity that the conditions of the previous life did not allow it. In this life, he must try his best to satisfy her fastidious appetite.
While speaking, Gu Ye smelled a strong fresh fragrance, and followed the fragrance. A huge iron pot with snow-white mutton soup churning in it, and mutton bones and mutton churning in it from time to time.
Gu Ye was like a puppy, gently shrugged his nose, and pointed to the signboard on it with a smile: "Xiongji Sheep Soup!" Brother Chen, are you talking about mutton steamed buns? β
"You, you really have a sensitive nose!" Ling Juechen pulled the little girl into the store, sat down on a wooden table inside, and said to the running hall, "Little Er, two bowls of mutton soup, two pieces of cake!" Spicy single! β
There are a lot of customers in the store, and they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground. Ling Juechen and Gu Ye's mutton soup and cakes waited for a while before they came up. If Gu Ye didn't have Hu cake and Hu spicy soup in front of him, he would definitely be impatient to wait.
Those who came to the store to drink mutton soup included people from the capital who came to the store, as well as merchants from the West Market. Businessmen are busy, and there are many people who have time to eat in the second half of the day.
Lamb soup and patties come up later. Ling Jiechen helped Gu Ye, broke the cake into small dices and put it in a small bowl, scooped up a few pieces of mutton, poured mutton soup on it, put some chopped green onions, and pushed it back in front of Gu Ye.
Gu Ye picky picked out all the green onions, and in Ling Jiechen's helpless shake of his head, he took small bites of mutton steamed buns. This family's mutton steamed bun is a surprise, the material is heavy, the meat is thick, the fat is not greasy, mellow and delicious, the aroma is overflowing, and the gluttony of people is hooked out.
Unconsciously, a small bowl of mutton soup steamed buns was eaten by Gu Ye. After eating, I drank a small bowl of broth, and I felt that the aftertaste was full of fragrance and long aftertaste. Gu Ye burped delicately: "Sure enough, it is a famous snack with a long history, delicious!" β
