Chapter 203: Huainan Beef Soup
Soon a man came over and bought the woman in white very simply.
Xiao Qi's eyes widened, she was not mistaken, the person who bought the woman in white turned out to be Zhu Wu.
Lord Luojun saw Xiao Qi in a daze: "Sister Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xiao Qi: "I saw that it was the pervert Zhu Wu who bought the woman in white." ”
The maid Xiao Tao jumped to her feet, "Ah! That Zhu Wu will definitely die soon. ”
Mama Zhu frowned: "Little Peach, be more steady, you have to be a maid to be a maid." ”
Xiao Tao stuck out her tongue and quieted down.
In the afternoon, the dragon boat race on the side of the Huai River, most of the people ran to watch, how miserable and miserable on the street can be described.
Lord Luo looked apologetic: "My father and princess will also go to watch the dragon boat race today, little seventh sister, you also want to go, let Xiao Tao accompany you over, okay?" ”
Lord Luo invited her out to play so warmly, how could she bear to leave Lord Luo County behind.
So Xiao Qi replied: "It's still not necessary, I'm hungry, Lord Luo, let's go eat together." ”
Lord Luo was very happy, and took Xiao Qi's hand affectionately, "Sister Xiao Qi, let's go, I'll take it to drink beef soup, let's go to the most time-honored Huainan beef soup." ”
When he arrived at the place, Xiao Qi found that this time-honored beef soup was opened in the alley, but he didn't expect the county lord of the palace to find such a remote place.
Fortunately, this alley is not very narrow, and the carriage can enter, otherwise the lord of Luo County and the maids would definitely be tired after walking such a long way.
Xiao Qi: "Lord Luo, this place is not easy to find, I didn't expect you to know?" ”
The maid Xiaotao looked proud, "Of course our county lord knows, because the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys!" ”
Lord Luojun said: "Once my mother said that she wanted to drink beef soup, my father personally drove the carriage to bring me and my mother over, the taste was really good, and I liked it at once." ”
"But I don't dare to drink more, my eldest cousin is very fat, he said that he is so fat because he often drinks beef broth, I am afraid of being fat, so-"
Although this place is in a winding alley, the shop is not small, and there are more than a dozen tables in it.
Entering the hall, Xiao Tao said to her mother-in-law who was coming towards her: "Boss, please take us to the private room." ”
Xiao Tao's words, as soon as he heard it, he knew that he was a regular customer.
The proprietress looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old, but she was quite energetic, her waist was straight and straight, and her gray hair was meticulously combed.
Her ears are also very sensitive, and when she heard that the guests wanted a private room, she immediately came over and led Xiao Qi and his party to the private room.
After sitting down, Xiao Tao: "Boss, please send two bowls of beef soup." ”
Lord Luo said: "Let's have a few more bowls of beef soup, Xiao Tao, you can also have a bowl each." ”
Lord Luo looked at Xiao Qi, although the contact time was not very long, but she clearly knew that the girl in front of her was very edible.
So the lord said, "Twenty more small shortbreads." ”
Xiao Qi glanced at the inside of the private room, and there were not many furnishings, only a few beef bones were hung on the wall for decoration, and the tables and chairs were very clean and refreshing, and they didn't feel half greasy.
I couldn't help sighing: "I really didn't expect that there would be a private room in this small street shop." ”
Xiao Tao is a good talker, and immediately took Xiao Qi's words on Twitter:
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, but it is a time-honored store that has been open for hundreds of years, why is it in the alley? That's because I've been driving here and haven't moved anywhere. I've heard people say that the owners here have to burn incense every day before they start making beef soup, and their spices are a secret recipe. The key is to be clean and eat at ease, Little Seventh Girl, can you see that this store has been open for hundreds of years? ”
Xiao Qi nodded, "I really can't see it, it's new everywhere and it's very clean." ”
Soon the beef soup was served, Xiao Qi picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, not bad, but not firewood, scooped up another sip of soup and drank it, and immediately gave a thumbs up to the proprietress , "Yes, it is fragrant and mellow, and it tastes great." ”
Next to him, Xiao Tao took out a silver coin from her purse and rewarded it to the proprietress .
The proprietress took it with a smile: "Thank you girls for your appreciation, my family has been in this store for five generations, and our family has focused on making a bowl of beef soup with all their hearts. ”
The proprietress turned and walked out of the private room, and soon brought in small shortbreads.
"The guests can eat with confidence, all kinds of things are cleaned and clean, and the beef is also freshly killed cattle, and it is best to get two and a half to three years of beef. The soup is boiled with beef bones, and dozens of nourishing herbs are placed in it, which must be strictly proportioned, and are weighed with scales every day. ”
Xiao Qi: "I heard that cows can't be killed casually?" ”
The proprietress said: "Yes, cattle can't be killed casually, my cattle are raised by myself and reported to the government." raised a lot of heads, several daughters-in-law in the family are responsible for taking care of the cows, the cabbage in the soup is also the best, and the shredded beans in it are also freshly made that day. ”
Most of the twenty small shortbreads went into Xiao Qi's stomach.
After leaving the beef soup shop for a long time, Xiao Qi felt that he could still smell the aroma of beef soup.
"Lord Luo, your Huainan beef soup really deserves its reputation, I really didn't expect such a bowl of beef soup to have so much exquisiteness, this is probably the so-called craftsman spirit."
Lord Luo was very happy: "Little Seventh Sister, tomorrow I will take you to eat the most famous tofu banquet." ”
……
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lord Luo, as usual, would come to Xiaoqi to play in the afternoon after class every day.
With Lord Luo by his side, Xiao Qi is not very lonely in Huainan.
They went shopping together, talked and laughed together, ate and drank together.
This is not the same as when Xiao Qi was with Pear Blossom when he was a child, Pear Blossom's family had a hard time, so Xiao Qi often accompanied Pear Blossom to be sad together.
However, Lord Luo is different, she is sunny and enthusiastic.
Although he is a county lord, he is not a little arrogant, he is very good to Xiao Qi, and shares delicious food, fun, and good looks with Xiao Qi, which brings a lot of laughter to Xiao Qi.
On the afternoon of May 15, Xiao Qi waited for a long time in Wenxing Courtyard and didn't wait for the county lord, feeling a little lost.
At night, after she turned off the lights and lay down, the courtyard door of Wenxing Academy was suddenly slapped, "Little Seventh Girl, Little Seventh Girl......"
Xiao Qi heard Xiao Tao's voice outside, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door.
The maid Xiao Tao was panting, her hair was messy, she only had one shoe on her feet, and her voice was crying and frightened, "Little Seventh Girl, our county lord liked you the most when he was alive......"
Xiao Qi's tears immediately fell, "What did you say?" What are you talking about? What was alive? ”
"Little Seventh Girl, our county lord is gone."
Xiao Qi couldn't believe it, how could a good person say that it was gone?
Lord Luo was still dragging her hand and laughing with her the day before.
"Xiao Tao, you tell me carefully, what's going on?"
