Chapter 136: Yunzhu County

With Huai Yanqing's help, Lin Jinxiu's speed of meat skewers has sped up a lot, and after Cui Xu brought the two rabbits back, the first batch of meat skewers were also worn, and the two took a whole handful.

"You're also meticulous when you eat barbecue." Cui Xu thought that he used to hold a large piece of barbecue directly, and looked at the meat skewers that Lin Jinxiu and the others made, and sighed.

Squatting beside Cui Xu, Lin Jinxiu put the meat skewers in his hand on the stone stove that had been built, and left a large space for Cui Xu: "If you can be meticulous, we will be meticulous, we will be troublesome to do, but the guests will be comfortable to eat." ”

"That's right." Cui Xu agreed with Lin Jinxiu's idea of thinking about the guests.

The simple preparation was finally completed, and the rabbit and wild boar meat skewered on the skewers were finally served on the grill.

The fragrance emanated, and several people were a little restless.

The skin of the rabbit is crispy and delicious, but the meat is delicate and smooth. Tender, the pork is also roasted by Lin Jinxiu until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it melts in the mouth.

Outside of this wilderness, there is something wild about it.

Everyone was smiling happily after eating, and the five of them sat around the stove that had been built, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Aunt Li was holding Lele in her arms, and Lele seemed to smell the fragrance, and stretched out her little hand to the meat skewer that Lin Jinxiu handed to Aunt Li.

"No, no." Everyone hurriedly went to stop it, the little guy's fingers were too delicate, and if he touched the meat, he would probably be scalded with a fiery red bubble.

Lin Jinxiu handed the meat skewer in his hand to Huai Yanqing, washed his hands in the stream, and took Lele from Aunt Li.

Everyone's eyes were following the treasure in Lin Jinxiu's hand.

Lele stared curiously at the earthen stove that Lin Jinxiu and the others had built, and seemed to be very interested in the beautiful flames that had sparked.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Lin Jinxiu, and then looked at the flame, stretched out his little finger to catch fire, and smiled happily.

"This is fire, it hurts to touch it~" Lin Jinxiu stretched out her hand and poked Lele's bulging little face to coax him.

"Gagoo!" Xiao Lele happily waved his short limbs, and the little lotus-like arms were exposed from his sleeves.

The little guy's smile can always infect the surroundings, Lele is happy, and Lin Jinxiu is also happy.

While teasing Lele and eating the things in his hand, time passed quickly, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and then went on the road.

"I'm sure the fire is completely extinguished!" Lin Jinxiu was still not at ease, and went back to look before walking back to the carriage.

"Don't worry, I splashed it with the stream." Cui Xu's voice came from the front of the carriage, "Okay, it's all cleaned up!" Let's go!"

The carriage was on the road again, Huai Yanqing was finally tired, and fell asleep in the position where Cui Xu leaned last night, and Lin Jinxiu didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of making him sleep.

After Huai Yanqing and Cui Xu changed shifts a few more times, Lin Jinxiu finally heard Cui Xu's shout in front of the car in a drowsy state: "Shopkeeper!" Look, the county town has arrived! ”

The county town has arrived!

Lin Jinxiu stretched her head out of the window, looking at the high city wall, inexplicably a little excited.

That's where she works next!

At that moment, the feeling of exhaustion was gone, replaced by boundless freshness.

This strange agitation made Lin Jinxiu not know how to speak, so he had to lock his eyes on the city gate.

A plaque with three big characters written "Yunzhu County" was hung above the city gate, and there were many people and carriages lining up at the city gate.

"Shopkeeper, have you figured out where to live?" Huai Yanqing asked.

"Let's stay at the guest house before we find one." Lin Jinxiu pondered, "Anyway, we have to get the store first." ”

Before Huai Yanqing could respond, Cui Xu's voice came: "You don't need to stay in the guest house, stay in my house, I'm the only one anyway!" ”

At this time, Lin Jinxiu remembered that Cui Xu did seem to have said that he had a small mansion in the county town.

"Then you're welcome!" Huai Yanqing replied loudly.

Cui Xu laughed a few times: "What's polite or unkind, I've been to Celadon County for so long, you have to help me clean it up first." ”

"Then we'll watch you clean up and go in!" Lin Jinxiu mends the knife.

"No way!" Cui Xu protested, "If you want to live in my house, you have to help me clean it!" ”

Several people came to the side of the city gate through the carriage, talking and laughing, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that Cui Xu actually recognized him.

"Hey, isn't this Master Cui?" The soldier was very surprised when he saw Cui Xu, "Didn't you go to Celadon County to be the shopkeeper?" ”

Cui Xu smiled at him: "Something happened, so I'm back again." ”

The soldier said, "Does Master Cui still want to respond to the Crane Tower?" ”

"Not back." Cui Xu said, "There is a new boss." ”

"That's fine, as long as you're still a cook." The soldier sighed, "You don't know, the daughter-in-law has wanted to eat your dishes for a long time!" ”

"When our store opens, welcome to bring your wife to eat!"

Lin Jinxiu sat in the carriage and listened to Cui Xu talking with the soldiers outside, and sighed a little.

It turns out that Cui Xu is also a well-known cook in the county, no wonder he is so powerful.

Ying Helou?

It seems that it is the place where Cui Xu learns art, if you have time, go and see it with him, maybe you can learn something.

After entering the city gate, Lin Jinxiu heard a commotion outside the carriage.

This level of liveliness cannot be compared with Celadon County.

Through the small window of the carriage, Lin Jinxiu saw the wide and neat streets, the stalls and gatehouses on both sides of the road, the men, women and children on the street rubbed shoulders, and even the clothes they wore were many times better than those in the county.

Lin Jinxiu looked at the warm scene of people coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but sigh, the standard of living in this county town is really different from that in the county......

The carriage creaked and circled through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a halt on a deserted street.

"We're here." Cui Xu climbed out of the carriage.

As soon as they heard it, Lin Jinxiu and the others also got out of the carriage and looked at the small house of Cui Xu's family.

Cui Xu took out the key to open the lock on the red wooden door, and after pushing the door of the house open, Lin Jinxiu's vision immediately widened.

No matter how small the small house is, it is still a house, Lin Jinxiu looked at it at a glance, and roughly estimated that this house was much larger than the small house of Zhao Kang's family, and the rooms looked like more.

The house looked good, but it was empty, and there was only a gazebo in the courtyard for resting, not even a pot of flowers.

Lin Jinxiu and the others moved all their luggage into the courtyard, Huai Yanqing drove the carriage to the nearest post station to return the car, and left Cui Xu and Lin Jinxiu to pack their things at home.

"Cui Xu, you're quite rich." Lin Jinxiu teased him, "This house doesn't look cheap." ”

"It's okay." Cui Xu did not deny it, "Originally, I was going to marry a daughter-in-law, but I went back to Celadon County later, and the matter was over." ”

Lin Jinxiu looked at him faintly: "You can even forget about marrying a daughter-in-law, so don't marry ......"

Cui Xu touched his head, a little embarrassed, hurriedly closed the door, and walked to the courtyard with Lin Jinxiu and a few people, and began to allocate rooms.

Cui Xu himself lives in the main room, Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing live in the east, and Aunt Li and Ning Er live in the west.

Because the middle of the room on the west side is open, it is more convenient for Ning'er to take care of Aunt Li.

Fortunately, Cui Xu's house is fully furnished and furnished, because Cui Xu doesn't come back to live often and looks very new.

But it's a little dusty, and with a little wiping, it can be dealt with for a few days.

Lin Jinxiu and Cui Xu first cleaned up the room for Aunt Li and let her rest, before they began to clean the other rooms.

Put what you bring with you and you can live there.

"There's nothing in the kitchen now, let's go eat outside." Cui Xu proposed.

"Okay." Lin Jinxiu responded, "Didn't you learn art here before?" Would you like to go to the original store for a meal? ”

Cui Xu didn't expect Lin Jinxiu to have such a proposal, so he was stunned for a moment and said, "It's okay." It just so happened that Master didn't know about my return, so he thought he was going to see him. ”

Lin Jinxiu read a little reluctance from Cui Xu's expression.

Could it be that Cui Xu's master is a terrible person?

After boiling water and washing and changing into clean clothes, Lin Jinxiu and the others walked out of the door.

It was getting late, and the lights on the street were lit up densely, illuminating the whole street as if it were day.

Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er had never seen such a thriving night market, and they didn't know where to look with their eyes open.

"Sugar gourd ~ rock sugar gourd ~"

Not only the rock sugar gourd, but all kinds of shouts echoed in Lin Jinxiu's ears, giving her a feeling of being in the city.

Sure enough, only crowded places have such a lively atmosphere!

There are all kinds of snacks and gadgets on the street, and a pair of eyes are not enough to see.

"Cui Xu, is there a market every night in the county town?" Lin Jinxiu asked.

Cui Xu shook his head: "Almost...... I don't know very well, but I've been cooking most of the time. ”

It is also said that although it is almost dark, the business of the roadside restaurant is still booming.

The crowd is full of people, and the cooks must be busy in the back kitchen.

It seems that in this county town, the most lively time is near night, which is very similar to the local habits of Lin Jinxiu's previous life.

The Ying Crane Tower where Cui Xu used to work was actually quite far away from his family's house, but Lin Jinxiu and Ning Er excitedly bought some here and that along the way, and the journey was not boring.

It's just that Huai Yanqing and Cui Xu, the two men who helped carry things, waited until they arrived at the door of Ying Helou's store, and the two of them already had a lot of things in their hands.

"We're here." Cui Xu motioned to Lin Jinxiu, "This is where I learned art, and the shopkeeper here is really powerful." ”

"Oh-" Lin Jinxiu dragged out her voice and walked into the restaurant.

The decoration in the restaurant is very magnificent, and it looks quite stylish, and several juniors are busy.

The food is passed back and forth, a hot scene.

"Why are there fewer people here?" Lin Jinxiu could hear Cui Xu muttering, "How long has it been?" ”

Lin Jinxiu looked at the scene of empty seats in the store, Cui Xu actually said that there were fewer people here?

When Cui Xu was still working here, how prosperous was this restaurant?

Lin Jinxiu was suddenly a little envious.

If you open a store in the future, it's good to be able to keep it like this.
