Shen Yu took Lin Xia to drive to a small town on the edge of Xinhai City, and the buildings in the town are all antique, giving people the illusion of returning to the countryside through ancient times. After passing through a few streets, Shen Yu and Lin Xia stopped in front of a corner tower with a two-story cornice.

The whole building is beautifully carved and painted, and the name of this hotel hangs on the connecting edge of the first and second floors: gluttony.

"This is the place Zhao Guoqiang is talking about, a restaurant that specializes in antique dishes, and it is said that the food inside is a delicacy that is almost lost or even unheard of today."

Lin Xia looked at the name of the store and said thoughtfully: "That's why it's called gluttony?" Gluttony, devouring heaven and earth. This boss's tone is also loud enough. ”

"If you don't have a big breath, you can just go in and see."

After Shen Yu finished speaking, he took Lin Xia and walked inside. As soon as he stepped into the store, he was stopped by a guy who was running the hall. That's right, it's a running guy who dresses up the same as in costume dramas. How much does the owner of this shop like ancient things? Lin Xia secretly complained in his heart.

"Two guest officers, do you have an appointment?"

"Can't you eat without a reservation?" Lin Xia asked teasingly.

"Do you have an introducer?"

"What if you don't have one?" Shen Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled like nothing. Looks like this store is very problematic!

"Two distinguished guests, the store is small, the shopkeeper said, there is no appointment and no introduction of the guests, will not be accepted. Please take a look at other homes..."

Before the guy could finish speaking, Shen Yu took out Zhao Guoqiang's black card and interrupted: "Is this okay?" ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, took the black card and hesitated, then welcomed the two in, only said a little wait, and ran to the back. Lin Xia looked around at the layout of the store, saying that it was a place to eat, and it looked more like a quiet and quiet teahouse. Those who did not eat did not speak, nor did they smell the smoke of cooking.

"Hey... Are you sure it's here? It doesn't look like a place to eat, does it? Lin Xia quietly poked Shen Yu's back with his fingers, and looked around with a pout.

As soon as Shen Yu wanted to reply, he saw a middle-aged man in a moonlight robe and long hair with a scarf walking down from the second floor. He also looks gentle and elegant, with the appearance of a fairy wind and bones, Lin Xia wonders if this person has crossed over from ancient times.

"Please forgive me for neglecting the two of you. I'm the shopkeeper of this store, and the people under my hands don't have eyes, so I don't want to bump into the two. ”

"You're welcome, may I ask the shopkeeper's surname?"

"You don't dare to be your surname, the contemptible surname is Tao, you can just call me Lao Tao."

"The shopkeeper Tao is polite, we are also admired, I couldn't tell you in advance, and I hope you don't mind."

"You are a friend of Brother Zhao, so naturally you don't need to be so polite. Look at my brain, come on, upstairs please. ”

Saying that, the pottery shopkeeper sent Shen Yu and Lin Xia upstairs to greet him, Lin Xia watched Shen Yu talk to the pottery shopkeeper for a long time, and his head was big. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he scolded in his heart: Just eating a meal, what a sin? Don't let people talk well?!

Shopkeeper Tao took Shen Yu and Lin Xia to a private room on the second floor, handed them a menu, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, because the two of you didn't make an appointment in advance." My last guest hasn't left yet, so you two will order it first, and I'll come over to accompany you later. ”

Shen Yu's smile was still the same, and after saying a word of please, he lowered his head and looked at the menu. After the shopkeeper Tao went out, Lin Xia asked with a bitter face, "Do you have to talk like this?" I now suspect that either I have crossed over, or that the shopkeeper is an archeque obsessive, or a psychopath. ”

Shen Yu surprisingly didn't answer Lin Xia's words, but just looked at the menu in his hand in a daze. Lin Xia looked at him strangely, and finally simply went around to look with him, but when he saw the dishes on it, Lin Xia was also surprised.

Shih Tzu tongue, chaise chicken, sable tofu, Zhaojun duck... These are all things that can only be eaten by ancient emperors, so isn't it possible that the chef of this restaurant is from the imperial dining room? The more he flipped back, the more shocked Lin Xia became. It's not that the dishes in the back are more expensive, but... They are all forbidden dishes in ancient times.

From ancient times to the present day, there have been some forbidden dishes. Most of these dishes are cooked in cruel ways, but they are extremely delicious, and some people even spend dozens of times more money to satisfy their appetites in order to witness the process of cooking. Because it was so inhumane, it was explicitly forbidden to cook and sell.

Looking at the tofu loach, boiled monkey brain, dragon whiskers and phoenix claws, pouring donkey meat and so on on the menu... Although there is no picture, thinking about the picture of cooking, Lin Xia's stomach is already tumbling uncontrollably. And not to mention that these dishes are cruel to make, things like monkey brains, where do they all come from? Monkeys are forbidden to be hunted and killed, and it is illegal to eat them. This Tao shopkeeper blatantly opened such a shop, didn't anyone report it?!

Seeing Lin Xia's indignant little face, Shen Yu sighed. said softly: "Don't worry, these can still be taken out, I'm afraid they are not the ones that Zhao Guoqiang ate." ”

"I've eaten all the illegal things, but I can still take them out? What kind of things are you that can't be taken out? Anyway, I don't eat these things, and you are not allowed to eat them, it's scary to think about. ”

Shen Yu made a shushing gesture and pointed to the door. Lin Xia listened to it, as if the shopkeeper had sent the guests down. But apart from the voice of the shopkeeper, no one else was heard. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper Tao to return to the second floor and knock on the door of Shen Yu's private room.

Shen Yu gave Lin Xia a look, and then asked the shopkeeper Tao to come in. As soon as he came in, the shopkeeper apologized again and again, and Shen Yu politely talked to him for a while before entering the topic.

"Shopkeeper Tao, that's the case, Boss Zhao has always recommended to me that you have rare delicacies here in the world, and it just so happens that I am also a foodie, so I want to bring my wife over to try it. But your menu..."

"I wonder what's wrong with this menu?" The shopkeeper Tao still asked with a smile, and that smile made Lin Xia a little worried.

"These dishes are just to fool those who are high-ranking and powerful. We're really not interested in that. It seems that the shopkeeper Tao has no intention of letting us eat here, so naturally, then we won't bother. ”

Shen Yu got up, but the shopkeeper Tao stretched out his hand to stop him. Still smiling and replied: "You haven't eaten yet, how do you know that these can't get into your mouth?" Even if Brother Zhao came, he was full of praise for these. ”

"That's unfortunate, he just died a few days ago, I'm afraid he won't be able to come."

Shen Yu said it lightly, as if he was saying that the weather was good today.

"That's a pity, Brother Zhao also ordered a delicious dish from me, and it seems that he can't eat it."

The shopkeeper Tao said that it was a pity, but his face was still smiling, as if Zhao Guoqiang's death was normal for him, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

Lin Xia immediately felt bad in his heart, there were very few people who could play psychological warfare with Shen Yu and not change their faces. This pottery shopkeeper is indeed very deep in the city, and it makes Lin Xia feel unfathomable.
