Chapter 57: There are acquaintances
Qiao's family is also eating, there are still four dishes and one soup on the table, all of them are home-cooked dishes, the main dish is the fish cake made of hot spring shepherd's cabbage that Qiao Dayong bought in the afternoon, the fish cake is very strong, with some shepherd's cabbage juice leaves, which looks faint green, and the complete leaves are inlaid on it, steamed out, like glutinous rice balls. Qiao Dayong introduced Qingqing for a long time, Qingqing also obediently cut a small piece and put it in his mouth, just about to say something, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, everyone turned around together, and a small person sent a food box and took a deep look, and then went out, without saying a word.
"What is this for?" Yue Wenqin hurriedly opened the food box and carefully took out a plate, "It's not bad, it's still hot." Girl, you come first, it seems that it was sent by Lord Simon. An An, here you go, have you eaten it? ”
Yue Wenqin put the sea cucumber on Qingqing's special plate, and put another piece into An'an's small bowl.
"No, what is it? It's black and ugly? An An stretched out his head and watched, and then still took chopsticks and put the sea cucumber into his mouth, chewing it with a horn, "What does this taste like?" ”
"It's good for your body, eat more." Yue Wenqin gave everyone a little bit.
Qingqing tasted a little: "It's good, it's the craft of a southern chef." ”
"Do you like it?" Yue Wenqin looked at her.
"Generally, if you eat more, it's good for your body." Qingqing thinks about it, does she like it? It seems that she used to eat a lot, but she just thought it was good for her body, and she really didn't have it when she said how delicious it was. By the way, he gave what he had on his plate to his father and An An.
"Then why did Lord Simon send it?" Yue Wenqin looked at the family emblem of the Ximen family engraved on the food box, and asked Qingqing directly. By the way, I also ate a piece myself, nodded, and did a good job, mainly because the ingredients were good. The new ones are moderately soft and tough, and the green onions are full of fragrance, "Grilled with pork, and then all the pork is picked out." What a waste! In fact, this meat is cooked well, and it is better than this sea cucumber! ”
"I also like to eat roasted meat!" An An said hurriedly, of course, he didn't mind sandwiching another piece.
"Then let's cook some more pork belly tomorrow?" Yue Wenqin said hurriedly.
"Okay, okay, you put some fried tofu in the meat, my sister likes to eat it." An An hurriedly said, thinking about it, he felt that he was a good boy.
"You are really this child, really, this mouth, it is really not noble." Yue Wenqin smiled and gave him some more dishes, poor An An is now changing to a small bowl, and it is really sad to eat every day.
"Big girl, you went to the store today, what do you think of the porcelain?" Yue Wenqin saw that no one spoke at the whole table, so he had to talk to Qingqing opposite. It's easy for Qingqing to go to the store today, although she ate a bowl of wontons, but the porcelain on the table is still like that, this can always be seen, right?
Qingqing thought about it and raised her head, tilted her head and thought again, "Put it outside a little worse, see if there is any kind of ceramic of that color like tiles, don't make a complete set, save one piece, one set will be over." Is the porcelain in the private seat arranged according to the name of the room? I see that all the places today have bluegrass. ”
"I also think the porcelain inside is very beautiful, and it has flowers." An An said hurriedly.
"It's according to the name of the room, the name of each room is different, and the tableware is also different, so I have to work hard to pick these. By the way, old man, do you want to try the dishes? Yue Wenqin looked at the old man, and the old man didn't go.
"You don't need it, you are free, and you don't point to making money." The old man finished eating, put down the bowl, and prepared to go back.
"Don't, old man, I want to make money. Besides, we have spent a lot of money on porcelain and restaurant decoration now. In the past, I rented out the house and could still receive rent, but now, one mile and one outside, it is all costs. Yue Wenqin hurriedly said, "We must make money!" ”
"Brother, you are really amazing!" An An was busy with starry eyes.
Qingqing finally finished eating, put down the bowl and looked at everyone with a smile, ready to enter the house.
"Qingqing, has the Ximen family entered Beijing?" The old man raised his head and said softly.
"Yes, I saw Lord Ximen go to the south gate to pick him up in the afternoon." Qingqing was stunned for a moment, but still followed the old man to tell the truth.
"In the next few days, Lord Simon should ask me to talk about it. The post from the back house should also come, please go and meet your second aunt together. The old man decided to take another sip of the soup, filled some of it himself, and said as he drank it in his hand.
"Yes!" Qingqing nodded, stood quietly and waited for the old man to continue.
"If you come to the post, you can go for it, just like usual. Don't worry about anything, I'll tell the old man what I need to say. Qiao Ye finished drinking the soup before he said slowly.
"It's just right, it's just right, the leather robe I made for Qingqing has just been made, and the fresh materials are used." He slapped his chest with reassurance.
"Am I going?" An An looked at the old man busily.
"It doesn't matter, just go if you want!" The old man glanced at An An, thought for a while, nodded his head, and smiled at Qingqing, "Go back to the house and read a book!" ”
"Yes!" Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to her own house in Ermen, she has been studying the Lin family's case these days, mainly because she has nothing to do, recently Qiao Dayong has severely cracked down on violations of law and discipline in the market, anyway, she doesn't know if it has any effect, there is no body recently. So don't say she's fine, even An An has nothing to do.
And the drunken flowers are as usual, maybe there is no movement at such a time, so everyone slowly relaxed their vigilance, and the surrounding area seems to be slowly lively.
Qingqing has been in the teahouse and the drunken flower shade at the same time every afternoon recently, and from a distance, she will sketch down the people who come and go. Then every night when I go home, I will take out the sketch and check it to see if there is anyone suspicious.
"Qingqing!" Qiao Dayong came in with a tray, followed by An An.
"Sweet soup, with red dates and fruits, delicious." An An said later.
"Did you send it to grandpa?" Qingqing looked at An An.
"Send it, grandpa won't eat it, let me take it to you to eat." Qiao Dayong put the tray on the table and looked at the pictures by the way, "These are the people who go to the drunken shade these days?" ”
"A few of them are acquaintances, so you can check the bottom of the periphery." Qingqing took the bowl, and by the way, picked out the person she found to coincide, and handed it to Qiao Dayong. Sit down and drink the sweet soup slowly.
An An climbed to Qingqing's table and sat down, so that he could follow Qingqing face to face. Qingqing was also used to it, and she smiled and fed him a mouthful of soup.
"I've drunk it." An An stretched out his head and took a sip, but still said.
"Then just drink it for me." Qingqing smiled, took a sip of himself, then gave him another sip, and the two of them drank the sweet soup together. glanced back at Qiao Dayong, who was still looking at the drawings.
