Chapter 397: You're That Dog
The deflated monk didn't ask for trouble anymore and apologized after leaving.
Chen Jun walked through this imperial city, unlike the Beimang Imperial Court, the scale of the Liyang Imperial Capital was extremely large, and the criss-crossing streets divided the city into many parts, and the number was enough to make people dizzy.
In particular, the central street that stretches to the imperial palace of the imperial city is as wide as 40 zhang and can accommodate dozens of horses galloping across the country.
Chen Jun entered through the East City Gate, and the market he saw along the way was lined with shops of various trades. Within each district, there are still small lanes, which are convenient for internal passage. The two cities are the most lively places in Tai'an City, and many restaurants and restaurants are open all night, which is a prosperous resort that never sleeps in Tai'an City.
The heat of autumn is a little hot, which does not affect the prosperity of Tai'an City. The street is full of traffic, and the pedestrians are like crucian carp, which is far more prosperous than Beimang.
Chen Jun walked on the side of the overpass in the west of Tai'an City, and at a glance you could see that there was a house in the distance, it is said that where was Li Dangxin's most unforgettable delicacy in Tai'an City, Tai'an fragrant duck, although the name is Tai'an duck, but in fact, it is a white-headed black duck from Qianli Lake in the south of the Yangtze River, the meat is not greasy, put it in the oven to fire, add pine fruit and other fragrant wood as fuel, use the appropriate method, make the roast duck baked very delicious.
This Tai'an Xiangya Mansion seems to have a bit of a big hidden meaning in the world, the museum is very deep, not the gluttony will not be able to find it, but even so the street is still parked to look like a lot of expensive Xuanhe carriage, the hall plaque four-character magnificent, majestic, at a glance you can know that it is calligraphy everyone wrote, maybe it is a calligraphy everyone in the drunken book, hidden a piece of anecdote.
Walking into the house, stepping into it, the internal space is not large, you can see the edge with both eyes, there are more than 20 tables inside, without exception, all full of people.
Chen Jun looked around, the small restaurant hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, there is no white ding, there is an old man with a full official taste, with two or three friends to improve the taste, there are almost the princes and nobles on the four-character writing paper on the forehead of the anointed children, the women around the ring are fat and thin, the ornaments are very handy, the beauty of any ornament pawn out, can make the small family for a few years without worrying about big fish and meat, and there are some strong men with strong rivers and lakes, the breath is strong, and the whole restaurant is lively among friends.
"Man, are there any seats?"
The young man didn't have the courtesy of an ordinary restaurant, but he was not cold, just a little proud, "Back to the guest officer, there are no more seats in the store, if you don't feel too troublesome, you can leave a message, and we can inform you if we are free." ”
"No need."
Just as Chen Jun turned to leave, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "If you don't dislike it, the old man can fight with you." When I first came to Tai'an, it was a pity that I didn't taste the ducks here. ”
In the corner of the hall, on the boxy mahogany table of eight immortals, there is an old man with a simple appearance, and there is a child with pigtails on the side, about ten years old, with a cute appearance and an aura.
"Grandpa Jianzheng, so you were waiting for this uncle?" The child asked curiously.
"Nonsense." The old man blew his beard and glared.
"What nonsense?" Xiao Tong'er was unconvinced and said: "Grandpa Jianzheng, you only come to the restaurant on the fifth day of the new year, today is the first day of the new year, and the little bell is tired of eating ducks, you promise to take me to eat sea bass next time, but don't come to eat ducks, hum, you can't fool me." ”
The old man touched the little boy's head, smiled, and stretched out his hand to Chen Jun to make a gesture of invitation.
Either way, it's just the food that can't be disappointed.
This old man, who sounded like a big background in the background, just looked at it three times after seeing Chen Jun sit down, and every time he looked at it, he poured a glass of wine and drank it by himself.
The little boy on the table of the Eight Immortals was eating the peanuts he brought, and the old man was drinking, but the roast duck on the table did not move at all, as if it was specially reserved for him.
"You don't eat?" Chen Jun asked.
The old man smiled: "People are old, they can't chew it!" ”
Chen Jun picked up the sharp knife, cut off a slice of sugar-red roast duck, and sent it to the old man's bowl, "This is the most tender part between the duck leg and the back, you should chew it." ”
The old man's hand squeezing the wine glass trembled slightly, and then he smiled, "If you can taste the food under the sword god's blade, the old man can be regarded as the first person in the world." ”
Chen Jun tore off another piece of chicken leg, and the little boy was stunned.
The old man patted the little boy on the head, "Why are you stunned, you can eat this chicken leg, this is a blessing, enough for you to blow for a lifetime." ”
"Thank you, uncle."
The little boy thanked Chen Jun and nibbled on the chicken legs, for some reason, he felt that the chicken legs seemed to taste better than before.
It seems that after Chen Jun's casual action, the old man and the children around him were unrestrained, and opened the chatterbox, and the old man talked about roast duck and Tai'an City food.
"This Tai'an roast duck is grilled over pine charcoal fire, and when it comes out of the oven, the skin is bright and crispy, the meat is white, delicate, and delicious. The juice of the duck skin is also noticeably plump and full. And with a fruity wood fragrance.
If you feel greasy when eating duck meat, you can serve it with green onions, crepes, cucumbers, and of course, the sauce from this restaurant is indispensable.....
The old man only talked about the customs and folk customs, did not say his identity, nor did he say anything else, and before he knew it, the little boy had finished gnawing on the chicken legs.
Chen Jun ate this Tai'an duck in the same way as eating Beijing roast duck, moving slowly in his hands and chewing slowly in his mouth, as if enjoying the tranquility before the storm.
"When I came to Tai'an City, I walked into the central street and saw that the market was lit up, and many restaurants were covered in red satin, and this restaurant was no exception, what was the reason?"
"Plough in spring and work in summer, harvest in autumn and hide in winter." The old man raised his wine and smiled: "In a few days, it is the Liyang Autumn Harvest Festival, and the emperor will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to the altar to worship the sky." ”
"It's just the right time, Liyang is really not afraid of me doing it?"
The old man raised his glass and was silent.
Suddenly, a few guys broke out of the guest hall, and the fat boss behind the scenes also hurriedly walked out and apologized to the Quartet: "There are some things in the small shop today, which need to be closed for half a day, and I ask for your understanding." ”
"It's closed, what kind of close, and the wine and food are only halfway eaten, so drive people out of the store." Several princes and nobles were unwilling to lose face in front of the beauties, and followed the coaxing.
The corner of the fat boss of the small shop sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Wang Gongzi, your father is a member of the Ministry of Officials, Qin Gongzi, your father is from the Ministry of Rites, Liu Gongzi, your father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and I won't say anything else, I just remind you that the identity of the visitors below is that your father can't afford to offend, and he doesn't want to offend, so he wants to stay and weigh himself to see if he is qualified." ”
Many of the big gentlemen looked angry, and under the side glances of the beauties around them, their faces were even redder and could drip blood, but they were angry. At the foot of the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, everyone knows one thing, sometimes the old man who passes by casually on the side of the road may be a great official, and a scholar may be a disciple of a certain Confucian.
Tai'an City is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is the fat boss of the duck shop, it is said that the background behind him is monstrous, just last winter, the second son of a local official who had just entered Beijing was drunk and crazy in the store, and was directly beaten by the boss and was seriously injured, and was thrown out of the door to freeze into a popsicle.
Many of the gentlemen here have a family background bigger than Sanpin, but it was the first time to hear the owner's explicit warning, and they were also beating drums in their hearts.
The gentlemen and officials are gone, and those masters on the rivers and lakes can only slip away.
In this area of Tai'an City, the status of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes is the lowest!
It didn't take long for only Chen Jun's table in the corner to be left in the store.
There are still half of the dishes left on the table, and only Chen Jun will drink while eating slowly.
"Guest officer, our store is about to close, you can pack it if you haven't finished eating." The fat boss said.
Chen Jun asked the old man, "Did you pay the money?" ”
The old man nodded: "It's enough to eat two meals." ”
"That's good, keep eating."
"Fight with me and keep eating?" The fat boss kept sneering, "Go to the underworld to eat immediately, and if you don't leave, you won't want to see the sunshine of Tai'an City again for the rest of your life." ”
"Emperor Zhao Chun of Liyang doesn't dare to talk to me like this, are you that dog?"
Chen Jun put down the cake, looked up and said with a low smile.
The fat boss was shocked and angry, his face trembled up and down, and suddenly a loud shout came from outside the door: "Presumptuous! ”
At this time, the little boy who was sitting in danger secretly pulled the corner of the old man's clothes.
The old man turned his head and smiled: "We are stained, and we can also shake the majesty with it!" ”
