Chapter 188: Lunch
The time came to noon, and the nobles were already hungry, and at this time, Tang Chu had already ordered Tang Dong to send someone to deliver food.
In the hall of the city gate tower, the exquisite food boxes were opened and suddenly filled with aroma.
"Which food is this, it's so delicious, it's even better than the chef my family invited from the capital." Kazuki asked.
"Haha, I'm familiar with this taste, no surprise it should be made by the chef of Tangdong Restaurant." The other boy replied.
"It turned out to be made by the chef of Tangdong Restaurant. That was a pleasant surprise. The childe who asked the first question said in surprise.
"Didn't I say that you don't look carefully at each of them, isn't this food box the mark of the guest Tang Dong on it?" Another boy pointed to the inscription on the food box and said.
"I have to say that this Tangdong Restaurant is really attentive. The food box is beautifully carved, and the food inside is neatly arranged, with all the colors and flavors. An old man complimented.
"Uncle Zhang, that's because you haven't tasted the food of Tangchun Restaurant yet, that's a must for us in Suizhou!" A young man said to the old man who had just spoken.
Master Zhang asked suspiciously, "Is this Tangdong Restaurant and Tangchun Restaurant the same?" ”
This Mr. Zhang came from other state capitals, and heard that there was a temple fair in Suizhou, first, he wanted to join in the fun, and secondly, since the temple fair was opened, there would be more people who came here to do business, and he also had a lot of opportunities.
The one who just answered his question was his nephew in Suizhou, and this time Zhao County ordered a banquet to invite the magnates of Suizhou City to come together to wash the dust for the lord of Huayang County. And his nephew brought him with him.
Hearing Master Zhang's inquiry, the young man replied, "Uncle Zhang, you are right, this Tangdong Restaurant and Tangchun Restaurant are the same, but the grade is different, and Tangchun is more luxurious." ”
"Oh." Master Zhang knows.
At this time, the magnates had already begun to eat under the service of their own subordinates.
Although there are only four dishes and one soup in it, it is relatively simple compared to what they eat at home.
But after all, it was outside, no better than at home, even if Zhao County Ling didn't prepare lunch for them, they had to cheer up and prepare for the arrival of the county lord of Huayang, instead of sitting and waiting here with food and drink.
Moreover, Tang Dong's meal is fragrant and tastes very good, which is very in line with their taste, so there is no way to find fault.
The people in the hall chatted while eating, and the same was true for the female guests on the other side, and everyone was full of praise for the food prepared by Tang Dong Restaurant.
"Yaoyao, I heard that today's reception banquet between the county lord of Huayang and the lady of Miaoyin will be held in Tang Spring?" A noble woman asked.
"yes, what's wrong?" Xie Yaoyao asked inexplicably.
As she spoke, she thought that this Tang Dong's food was really fragrant.
The woman said, "I heard that the Tangchun Restaurant was renovated a while ago, and many people who want to go in and eat can only be on the first floor. ”
"Oh, there's such a thing. Tang Chu told me that the second floor will give us a surprise when the time comes during the rectification. Xie Yaoyao said with a smile.
"Won't we see each other today? It's a bit of a thing to look forward to. Another lady said heartily.
"Yaoyao, you have a good relationship with Miss Tang, you must take us to go there often when the time comes!" The young lady just said.
"No problem!" Xie Yaoyao said in a big way.
Time passed slowly, and Zhao Jizhu also packed up here, came to the city gate tower, and waited for the lord of Huayang with the dignitaries in Suizhou City.
"Report!" Someone saw a team in the distance, about 20 people, on the city gate, and immediately went to report to Zhao County.
"My lord, a team has come from afar, and it looks very much like the county lord of Huayang and the lady Miaoyin." The gatekeeper knelt on the ground and said.
Zhao Xianling and Xie Zhushu glanced at each other and said, "Let's go, go and see!" ”
The two soon came to the city gate tower, and Zhao Xianling also saw a group of people getting closer and closer from a distance.
The small black dot in the distance was getting closer, though there were no flags. But Zhao Xianling could almost confirm that they were the ones he was waiting for.
Why is it so sure, Zhao Xianling knew when he saw the horses ridden by the guards at the head, because it was not an ordinary horse, but a war horse, which was only available in the army.
Unexpectedly, for the safety of the county lord of Huayang, the old prince actually sent her a cavalry!
The county commander of Zhao here gathered the magnates in the city and went down to the city tower, and the county lord of Huayang and his party who came from afar also saw hope.
"Commander, there are still five miles away, and we are about to reach Suizhou!" A guard rode close to Qi Sheng and said.
Qi Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, I'm about to go to Suizhou, so I can be regarded as exempt from traveling!" ”
They have endured all the hardships they have accompanied the county lord of Huayang in the past few months, and they are also relieved to see that they are about to end this life of eating and sleeping in the open.
Although as soldiers, they have all encountered difficult environments, but the county lord of Huayang is only a weak woman, and she has been pampered since she was a child, and Qi Sheng has to take into account the other party's requirements and adaptability.
If it is an ordinary boudoir woman, she can ask if she doesn't understand something, or listen to their opinions directly, but the county lord of Huayang is good, not only does he not listen to dissuasion, but he also has his own ideas, and he leads them to difficult situations again and again, so that the guards don't know what else to say.
For example, the observation of the weather, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and there were not many clouds, but the other party felt that the temperature had dropped, so he thought it was going to rain, so he took them to the broken temple to hide from the rain, but he slept for a night, the rain did not fall, and the broken temple almost collapsed because of the indiscriminate command of the county lord of Huayang.
Another time in a certain city, where there were opera troupes and juggling performers, the county lord of Huayang was curious to see how to make a living person, but he fell into the trap of others.
She went into the box where she had changed to see how she had become gone. It turned out that the bottom of the box led to a tunnel.
Qi Sheng and the others spent a lot of effort to find the Huayang group leader, it turned out that the juggling troupe was just a disguise, and the other party was an out-and-out trafficker.
There are countless things like this, if you want to say that the rivers and lakes are inexperienced, then you can pay more attention or eat a trench to grow wise, but the county lord of Huayang is not, she feels that it is just that she is unlucky, and the things she encounters are basically liars or unlucky things, and it is definitely not that there is a problem with her decision.
In this way, in the stubbornness of the county lord of Huayang and the dispute with Qi Sheng, the group traveled from city to city until they met Miaoyin Niangzi.
Miaoyin Niangzi, Qi Sheng is not familiar with him, but he has heard some rumors, about her marriage, about her talent for music, but in any case, until I really saw this person, I knew that the other party was not as beautiful as rumored, but he also had a remarkable temperament.
