Chapter 268: Huangpin Imperial Cauldron
Wei Huai'an thought for a while and said, "This place is thousands of miles away from the capital. Not only the climate, but also the living habits and tastes are different. However, you can try it if you have nothing to do, and you can call a few shadows to pay attention to the shop again. ”
"Okay."
Su Muling smiled. When the two returned to the inn, Blue had already gone back with the two girls.
Su Muling took the hot handkerchief handed over by Xichun, wiped his hands, took off his big clothes, and lay down to make up for sleep.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
Xichun said that Wuying had come back and was in Wei Huai'an's room.
Su Muling cleaned up a little and knocked on Wei Huai'an's door.
Seeing that Su Muling was coming, Wei Huai'an asked a few people to report the day's harvest to Su Muling.
Shadowless was the first to say, "...... The subordinates went around the east of the city for a day, but did not find a house they completely liked. The western part of the city is densely populated, and most of the houses are small households. And because of the long time, the house is dilapidated, and there are few new houses. ”
"The north of the city is a place of exile for criminals from all over the world, and the personnel are complicated, so it is not suitable for young ladies to live." Su Han said.
"In the west of the city, there are all kinds of buying and selling, pawnshops, taverns, money houses...... There is also a green / building. So the subordinates don't think it's suitable for the young lady. Chen Sheng went to the west of the city.
After listening to a few people, Wei Huai'an looked at Su Muling, his eyes a little tangled.
"In the afternoon, Blue and I went around the south of the city. There are few adults in the south of the city, but it is suitable for living. Unfortunately, we didn't find a house to rent. ”
"I said, no, let's find a quiet place to build one ourselves."
Passing by the door, he listened for a while through the open door and expressed his opinion. But Wei Huai'an then gave no:
"It's not like it's a side. Now that April is still freezing and snowing, where is the soil moving? Let's think of something else. ”
"Shizi, I have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Pomegranate looked at Wei Huai'an with some excitement.
"You say."
"This morning, when my young lady and I came back from my uncle's house, I noticed a house not far from my uncle's house. There are at least three entrances, and it looks very new. Why don't you send someone to take a look and buy it for the young lady to live in, isn't it done? ”
The pomegranate woke up the dreamer. Wei Huai'an's face suddenly showed joy.
"You clever girl."
"Chen Sheng, you and Pomegranate will do this, and you will be rewarded for doing it well."
"Yes."
The daughter-in-law was appreciated by the prince, and Chen Sheng's face also shone brightly.
That night, Chen Sheng and Pomegranate went out to do the matter without eating. An hour later, the two returned.
"How?" Wei Huai'an asked.
"It's done, it's a three-entry house with a garden, built last autumn, and I've only lived in it for a few months. The owner of the house was a well-known local wealthy man, and his subordinates gave them a price that they could not refuse, and they promised to sign the contract tomorrow. ”
"Okay."
Wei Huai'an took out a piece of gold barley from his purse and threw it to him.
Chen Sheng raised his hand to catch it and thanked him with a smile.
The next day, Wei Huai'an took Su Muling and a few of his subordinates to the house.
Su Muling looked inside and outside the house and nodded: "Yes, that's it." ”
The contract was signed, the money was paid, and on the same day, the family moved out.
The house was there, and Wuying went to the market to buy a few people. Pomegranate assigned their duties to the newcomers, and everyone began to roll up their arms and sleeves to clean up and decorate again.
Su Muling only kept the furniture, and the rest of the things were taken away.
Pomegranate and Xichun filled Su Muling's house with things they had brought all the way from the capital.
The residence was solved, and Xiao Wenxuan hid and did not come back. Su Muling was not in a hurry, and began to inspect the hot pot market and site selection.
She took Wei Huai'an and Blue for a few days to taste all the hot pot restaurants on Kuwu Island.
Final summary: The hot pot on Kuwu Island has a single variety and low price.
For opening a store, Wei Huaian and Su Muling were at ease, and they looked at a shop in the south of the city in a few days. This shop used to be a white meat boiled steady, and it is being transferred because of bad business. So Su Muling bought the shop without much money.
After that, Su Muling and Wei Huai'an discussed a purchase order overnight, and sent Wuying, Chen Sheng, and Su Han to Terin Town to purchase......
While Su Muling was busy there, Xiao Wenxuan, who took Li Feng and Fang Ping to hide in the mountains to hunt, was in full swing.
Nangong Yi was arrested, he became famous, relieved the crisis for Daming and cleared his suspicions.
Originally, he wanted to live in seclusion and never ask about the world again, but there was no word: Su Muling was robbed, and he let him abandon all his vows to be born and die for this woman again.
Seeing Su Muling again, the disguise in Xiao Wenxuan's heart was completely torn off, and he appeared in front of the emperor again for her to beg Hu Si to spare her life.
Su Muling's life was kept, and he retired again. Kuwu Island was his last line of defense.
Su Muling's arrival made him can't believe his eyes, he was surprised, and scared. He knew that Wei Huai was pleased with Su Muling, and Su Muling also agreed to his marriage proposal, and the mighty Houfu also accepted this family.
At this time, Su Muling took Wei Huai'an to find this place and beg him to accept him again, Xiao Wenxuan was afraid that all this was a dream. He would lose her again when he woke up, and he would be completely wounded by then.
He fled and ran to a cabin deep in the mountains. Every day is a hunting frenzy. He wanted to use this method to force Su Muling away, but he was afraid that Su Muling would leave. Hot search
So, after hunting in the mountains for half a month, Xiao Wenxuan decided to go home.
After entering the house and washing up, Xiao Wenxuan called Li Feng: "Has anyone come these days?" ”
When Xiao Wenxuan said this, he tried to make his tone appear absent-minded.
"Childe, the housekeeper said that on the second day we left, Miss Su came, and no one came."
"What did she say?" Never again? Is she gone? Xiao Wenxuan's eyes couldn't hide the loss.
"Miss Su heard that you weren't at home and left." Li Feng peeked at Xiao Wenxuan and smiled secretly in his heart.
"You go and sell some of these prey, and bring me sake." Xiao Wenxuan was a little anxious, and fell on the kang and stopped paying attention to people.
"Yes."
Li Feng brought the door. When he got to the yard, he put on a wagon, loaded a cart full of prey, and went out of the gate.
An hour later, Li Feng walked into Xiao Wenxuan's house again.
"Childe, the prey has been sold, a total of one hundred and eighty-eight taels and two dollars."
"All sold? Who collects it? Xiao Wenxuan was surprised. It was five wild boars, eight sika deer, two brown bears, two dozen hares, and dozens of pheasants. Who has the strength to buy so much game at one time on Kuwu Island.
"In the past few days when we are away, a new pot shop called Huangpin Yuguo has opened on Fudi Street in the south of the city, and I heard that the business is good, and these wild meats are taken away by their family."
"Huangpin Imperial Pot?"
"Childe, we've been on the mountain for half a month, why don't we also go to Huangpin Imperial Pot to change the taste?"
Li Feng looked at Xiao Wenxuan with a hippie smile, looking greedy.
What he has eaten every day in the mountains for half a month is all kinds of barbecue, broth and hard steamed buns, and the corners of his mouth have two bubbles. Because of eating, the skin is broken, and now it is red and bright floating on the corners of her mouth, like a matchmaker who can speak well.
Xiao Wenxuan didn't move, and Su Muling's departure made him a little sad. He closed his eyes, and Su Muling's figure was all in front of him. The nose is full of body/fragrance from her body.
"Childe, I heard that their family's sake is the best sake in Terryn Town. Didn't Childe want to drink? Just go and try it. Let your subordinates follow you to satisfy your cravings. Li Feng continued to coax.
Xiao Wenxuan opened his eyes and jumped up from the kang.
"Tell Shang Ping to go."
"Okay!"
Fudi Street Huangpin Imperial Pot. Although when I first arrived, the store was almost full.
Xiao Wenxuan glanced at the lobby, ordinary furnishings, four or five tables. In front of each table, there are several red-faced faces, accompanied by a steaming pot or a glass or a hearty meal.
Goodbye to those tables, red, hot pot, full of familiar aromas. It turned out to be a Beijing hot pot that I hadn't eaten for a long time.
Xiao Wenxuan was inexplicably a little sad, he suddenly remembered that when he was with Su Muling, she often asked someone to cook a pot for him at home.
Seeing Xiao Wenxuan and a few people standing at the door, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper greeted him:
"Guest, eat? Upstairs please. ”
Xiao Wenxuan lifted his robe and went upstairs with a slight bow.
The upstairs is different from the downstairs, still spacious, but the tables are separated by several large screens.
The shopkeeper invited them into the innermost room and handed them the menu.
Xiao Wenxuan took it and looked at it, the ingredients were all familiar to him in the capital. Putting the menu on the table, he stared at the shopkeeper and asked:
"Where are you from?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "The guest officer can't hear it?" I'm a local. ”
Xiao Wenxuan naturally knew that he was a local when he heard his accent.
"Where's the cook?"
"The chef is also local."
"Natives? So how can you make this Beijing hot pot? ”
Xiao Wenxuan hasn't been here for a long time, but he knows that the locals recognize the white meat boiled rice when they eat the pot, not because they don't like to eat anything else, but because they lack supplies here and can't make any tricks.
And the white meat, after being boiled in the sage, is fat but not greasy, and it is delicious and hungry. That's why it's so popular with locals.
The shopkeeper saw that Xiao Wenxuan actually knew the details of this hot pot, and said in surprise: "The guest officer has seen the world at a glance." I even knew that our pot was a hot pot in Beijing. To tell you the truth, we originally made boiled white meat, and then we met a Beijing gourmet master in Telin, and after that person's guidance, we got this method. ”
"From the capital?" Xiao Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, in Thering. said he was here to visit relatives, but he didn't want to find anyone. The shopkeeper replied patiently.
“……”
Xiao Wenxuan's eyes showed a faint sadness. It seems that Su Muling did not find him and has already left.
"How's it going, officer? Come to one? The shopkeeper saw that he was silent for a long time, and asked again.
Xiao Wenxuan nodded: "Put more chili peppers, double portions of all meat and one portion of vegetables." A pot of sake. ”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper hurried down and ordered the side dishes.
