Chapter 11 The King of Qingning

With a few little second brothers as human walls, Shopkeeper Li finally successfully took Yue Yunze and the others upstairs and sent them to the innermost wing.

On the door of the wing room hangs a gold-lacquered wooden plaque with the three green characters of "gold ingot" written on it.

This cheesy name is much more luxurious than the downstairs hall. The large round table that can seat eight people is covered with a clean golden tablecloth, the black Taishi chair is covered with golden cushions, and the dishes, chopsticks, and teacups on the table are all golden. As for the walls, they are undoubtedly painted gold. In addition to the door and the window, there is a large embroidery painting hanging in the middle of the other two walls, one with the theme of pine cranes, and the other with the theme of flowers and wealth, although the themes of the two paintings are different, but the background color is very suitable for the overall decoration style of gold.

Being in such a glittering place really gives people the illusion of becoming a local tyrant in a second.

Shopkeeper Li diligently pulled out a chair to let the guests take a seat, and when he was done, he stood aside and asked with a smile, "What kind of tea does Gongzi want to drink?" ”

Yue Yunze looked at Du Xiaomeng, who was sitting beside him, and asked, "What kind of tea does Xiao'er want to drink?" ”

As soon as Du Xiaomeng sat down, she was attracted by the golden dishes and chopsticks on the table, she was wondering whether these golden things were made of real gold, hearing Yue Yunze ask like this, she raised her head and smiled slightly, and said, "I haven't studied tea, Yunze, you decide." ”

"Then let's have a pot of big red robes." When Yue Yunze said this, his eyes stayed on Du Xiaomeng's body and did not look away.

Shopkeeper Li, who was laughing on the side and had a very good service attitude, seemed to glance at Du Xiaomeng inadvertently, and then looked at Yue Yunze casually, and asked, "Then what does Gongzi Yue want to eat today?" ”

Yue Yunze once again threw the question to Du Xiaomeng: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Du Xiaomeng actually wants to answer "shrimp dumplings", "siu mai", "shrimp paste fresh squid", "barbecued pork rice noodles" and "concubine custard buns", which are the snacks she must order when she goes to a teahouse to drink tea in modern times. But when she thinks about the teahouse dim sum of this era, it may not be different from her own era, and the dim sum she wants may not exist, and the question of what to eat is still left to the people of this era to decide.

She smiled a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't studied your teahouse here, so you can order whatever you want." ”

"In that case, Shopkeeper Li will give us an idea." Speaking of this, Yue Yunze finally raised his eyes and glanced at Shopkeeper Li, who was standing aside and maintaining a professional smile.

After getting Yue Yunze's reply, Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and order the kitchen to prepare for Gongzi Yue." ”

After Shopkeeper Li retreated, Du Xiaomeng looked at Ah Hu, who was standing beside Yue Yunze, and asked, "Brother Ah Hu, what are you standing for?" Sit down! ”

Ah Hu stood straight and motionless, and said, "I want to protect the safety of my son, and I can't sit down." ”

Du Xiaomeng glanced at Yue Yunze, touched her forehead with some puzzlement and asked, "I have to ask Brother Ah Hu to stand aside to protect the safety of the last teahouse, Yunze, are you sure that you are really not the person with identity I am looking for?" ”

Yue Yunze smiled helplessly and said: "Being too rich is also a very troublesome thing, no matter where I go, there will always be irrelevant people who try their best to get close to me, in addition to those who want to ask for some benefits, of course, there is no shortage of people who want to make money against me." ”

Du Xiaomeng looked at Yue Yunze with some sympathy: "It seems that it is the same no matter which space you are in, it is not a good thing to be too rich." ”

The little second brother brought tea in at this time, interrupting their conversation. As soon as the little second brother pushed open the door of the wing, Ah Hu quickly stepped forward to take the teapot in his hand and motioned for him to go out.

Ah Hu turned around and poured tea for the two of them, put the teapot on the table and stood aside.

Yue Yunze said softly: "Sit down." ”

Ah Hu said with some trepidation: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Yue Yunze glanced at him, and said without the slightest change in his volume: "Sit." ”

"Subordinates obey." Ah Hu hesitated for a moment, then moved to the position closest to the door and sat down.

On the other side, Shopkeeper Li walked straight downstairs to the kitchen after leaving the wing. As soon as he walked downstairs, a few passers-by who had stopped Yue Yunze to talk immediately stepped forward, surrounded him and asked, "Shopkeeper Li, do you know what the girl who was with Yue Gongzi came from?" ”

Shopkeeper Li glanced at passers-by A, B and C, and said with a straight face: "How do I know? Get out of the way, I have to rush to the kitchen to prepare snacks for my father-in-law! ”

In fact, he also wanted to know what the girl next to Yue Gongzi was! As far as he knows, there are many different types of beauties with different identities who try their best to get close to their son-in-law, and even seduce and flatter them by any means, but there is not necessarily any woman who has succeeded. For so many years, I have never heard of the affair of the beautiful and elegant son-in-law, let alone any woman by his side. The only people who can walk around him in public have always been Mr. Zhao and Ah Hu, but today he actually took the girl to the teahouse in person, and the identity of the girl is definitely not simple!

Yue Gongzi himself is a mysterious person who no one knows exactly where he came from, and now there is an extra girl who doesn't know what his origin is, and after today, it is certain that there will be another hot topic for the whole people to talk about after dinner.

Although he was curious, Shopkeeper Li understood that he should not be too troubled, and entertaining the guests well was what he should do.

With Shopkeeper Li personally out to greet him, it didn't take long for the kitchen to prepare all the dim sum. Headed by Shopkeeper Li, he led a number of little second brothers, each holding a tray full of steamers, and rushed straight to the "gold ingots", and then put the steamer on the table at a very fast speed.

This kind of speedy dim sum speed made Du Xiaomeng amazed once, and the number of dim sum made her amazed a second time.

The steamer on the first floor fills the table, and then stacks it on top of each other, or even to the third layer. At a glance, in the steamer stacked on the top, there are glutinous rice chicken, mushroom cotton chicken, steamed pork ribs with soy sauce, barbecued pork buns, steamed phoenix feet, dace balls with tangerine peel, and duck tongue with tangerine peel......

I have drunk tea in the teahouse for many years, but I have never seen such a spectacular steamer array. After a rough count, the number of steamers was about thirty or so.

Du Xiaomeng looked at the mountains of snacks in front of him and asked, "Yun Ze, is it Mr. Zhao that they will come over later?" ”

Yue Yunze took a sip of tea and said, "No, it's just the three of us." ”

"Just the three of us?" Du Xiaomeng was a little dumbfounded and pointed to the steamers on the table, "Is it possible for us to finish eating so many things?" Although you have a lot of money, it's not good to be extravagant and wasteful! ”

Yue Yunze said calmly: "If it were just me and you, it would be absolutely impossible to finish eating." But with Ah Hu here, it's definitely no problem. ”

Hearing Yue Yunze say this, Ah Hu lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassed.

"Here, eat while it's hot." Yue Yunze sandwiched a steaming dace ball and put it into Du Xiaomeng's bowl, "There are few companies that do this dace ball well, and only this county teahouse in the entire Qingning County can do it well." ”

"Then I'm going to have to give it a try."

Du Xiaomeng used a spoon to split the dace balls in two, and was about to taste the delicious taste when the door of the wing room was suddenly pushed open.

Looking up, the person who saw the door was not Shopkeeper Li or the second brother, but a black man who was so stout that he could fight with Ah Hu, with a stubble on his face and a wooden box in his hand. I saw that the big black man pushed the door open and stood respectfully to the side, revealing the square-faced young man behind him with a towering golden crown of hair, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, and wearing a white fox fur. The rich young man was not tall, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and small eyes, high cheekbones, thick lips, and a beard.

Behind his hands, such a somewhat obscene young man walked in slowly with the momentum of a leader's inspection.

When Yue Yunze and Ah Hu saw the appearance of the young man, they quickly stood up and took two steps forward and bent down to salute: "The grass people have seen the king of the county!" ”

When Du Xiaomeng saw Yue Yunze standing up, he reacted quickly and followed him to stand up, following behind him and Ah Hu and bowing his head in the same way. When he heard that the young man was called the "county king", Du Xiaomeng was not only surprised but also surprised, he didn't expect that the county king of Qingning County looked so distinctive!

Qingning Jun helped Yue Yunze very kindly, and said kindly: "No courtesy, no courtesy, sit down and talk." ”

With that, he took care of himself and sat down. Ah Hu immediately stepped forward and poured a cup of hot tea for the King of Qingning, and then stood aside, while Yue Yunze waited for the King of Qingning to sit down, and then turned around and sat back in his original position.

The king of Qingning looked at Du Xiaomeng, who was still standing, in surprise, and asked with a touch of eight characters: "Son-in-law, who is this girl?" ”

Yue Yunze didn't raise his eyelids again and said, "She is the cousin of the grass people." ”

Seeing that the county king of Qingning was staring at him, Du Xiaomeng hurriedly stood and saluted him: "The folk girl has seen the county king." ”

"It turned out to be the cousin of my son-in-law." King Qingning grinned and raised his hand, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

Du Xiaomeng sat down, and heard the king of Qingning County say: "It's just that I haven't seen him for a few days, and my son-in-law suddenly has an extra cousin coming out, which makes this king so surprised!" I have known Gongzi Yue for many years, except for Mr. Zhao, this king has never seen your family and relatives! ”

Yue Yunze smiled indifferently and said, "Don't say that you haven't seen the county king, the grass people haven't seen their relatives and friends in their hometown for many years." Due to the early death of his parents, Cao Min left home to follow his uncle to do business abroad since he was young, and has not returned to his hometown for many years. This place is thousands of miles away from their hometown, and if it weren't for the change in my cousin's family, the grass people would not know when they would see their relatives in their hometown. ”

"I see." The king of Qingning didn't seem to be very interested in Du Xiaomeng, and after hearing Yue Yunze say this, he changed the topic by himself: "I heard that Gongzi Yue is sick, and this king plans to visit, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Yue Yunze arched his hand towards the king of Qingning County and said, "There is the king of Lao County who is concerned. The grass people have only been infected with a little wind chill and have been cured. ”

The king of Qingning turned his head and made a gesture to the big black man standing on the side, and the big black man hurriedly came over and offered the wooden box with both hands. The king of Qingning took the wooden box, turned around and said to Yue Yunze with great concern: "Yue Gongzi's body has never been very good, you need more tonic to regulate your body!" ”

He opened the wooden box, revealing a ginseng with complete whiskers and a number of red ropes tied to the flannel cloth of the cushion box, and then said: "This century-old wild ginseng is the best product for replenishing qi and strengthening the body, son-in-law, you take it back and stew it to replenish the body." ”

"Such a precious thing, the grass people can't take it......"

Yue Yunze wanted to refuse, but the king of Qingning County forced the box over and said, "This thing is a lot of things in the king's family, and it is not a rare and precious thing. If the son-in-law doesn't accept it, is it disgusting? ”

"The grass people don't dare." Yue Yunze's head lowered slightly, and he held the box upright, "In this case, the grass people have thanked the county king for his kindness." ”

King Qingning smiled with satisfaction, and then took out a red invitation with bronzing words printed on his body. The big black man stepped forward and bent down to take the invitation with his body temperature with both hands, and then held it in front of Yue Yunze.
