Chapter 50: Unclear Thoughts
Tang Shui'er said modestly: "Doctor Lin has an overreputation. ”
"Dr. Lin's words are true, and I think so." Wen Renting was used to being blunt, and turned his head to ask Da Zhuang, "Brother Yan, when are you going to open a restaurant?" ”
Hearing this, Da Zhuang hooked his lips and said modestly: "It's still early, it's still early, although Shui'er and I have this plan, everything is still in preparation." ”
Everyone sighed, and Da Zhuang revealed the meaning: The restaurant must be opened, but it is not good to say when it will be opened, and it has not been decided where to open, so wait and wait.
Okay, after eating the dishes made by Tang Shui'er, I'm afraid that other dishes will be unsightly, how can this be good?
Lang Yuchen almost wanted to say: If I don't provide the silver, you can open a restaurant directly.
But he can't say this, otherwise the Meng Mansion, the Yan family, and the Wenren Pavilion will have to jump up and beat him, and you have a flexible brain to pick up the bargain!
Speaking of opening a restaurant, Meng Hongmiao suddenly remembered something and asked Da Zhuang: "Brother Yan, I heard that your stall is located on Xiping Street, where I remember that it was not planned for the vendors, what is going on?" ”
While speaking, Meng Hongmiao did not forget to quickly pick up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.
Not! The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the sauce is sweet and sour, and there is a hint of pine red fragrance, which is delicious!
What is this dish called?
He chewed the fish and pondered, and there was Da Zhuang explaining in his ear: "Master Meng, I can't hide it, the location that Shui'er and I liked was on Guangyuan Street, but when I went to pay the market money, the other party asked me to pay ......."
He held out three fingers.
Yan He frowned, and couldn't help but shake his head and reprimand: "The government has a rule that the city gold is unified into one penny of silver for a month, and there are people who want to collect three taels in their private pockets, which is really unusual!" ”
"It's not three taels...... Da Zhuang watched Meng Hongmiao's smile gradually disappear, his expression was even more indescribable, and he said weakly, "It's thirty taels." ”
"Smack!"
The chopsticks in Meng Hongmiao's hand were folded into two sections.
The crisp voice made Lang Yuchen's eyelids jump slightly, who said that civil officials don't understand martial arts, just look at Meng Hongmiao, at least half of the generals in the DPRK can be disabled.
"How can it be!"
Meng Hongmiao trembled with anger, he has been the county magistrate of Changning County for nearly ten years, and he boasts of being dedicated to his duties and clean air, but he doesn't know that the people below dare to do such a thing that cares about the corruption and illegality of the imperial court, what face does he have to face all the people of Changning County?
The people below trembled and handed over a pair of new chopsticks, Meng Hongmiao took it, exhaled deeply, and apologized to Da Zhuang and Tang Shui'er: "I was negligent in this matter, and I will give you two an explanation later." ”
Da Zhuang smiled indifferently: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, there are hundreds of people in the county government, and there are three to four white servants under a government, since the head officer is in charge, this matter should also be their fault, and it has nothing to do with Lord Meng, besides, I think our current position is also very good." ”
Meng Hongmiao looked at Da Zhuang when he heard this, with a thoughtful expression, and there was deep doubt in his eyes.
Yan He and Lang Yuchen both looked slightly stunned, in the past, their focus was on Tang Shui'er, but now it is the first time that they treat Da Zhuang squarely.
Even the class system of the county government officials is so clear and thorough, who would believe that Da Zhuang is just a crop man who only knows how to farm?
The corners of Lang Yuchen's mouth suddenly rose, and he said casually: "Brother Yan, you are quite like a person I am familiar with." He tore off a piece of chicken wing with his chopsticks and put it on a big plate, "If I have the chance, I would like to introduce you to each other." ”
Tang Shui'er's face faded from blood in an instant, and his heart beat fast in his chest, and he kept vibrating in his eardrums.
She lowered her head and licked her dry lips, her palms were covered with cold sweat, and she raised her eyes and smiled at Lang Yuchen: "Thank you Young Master Lang, presumably the person Young Master Lang has met must be a noble person like Young Master Lang, my family is not very knowledgeable, and he has no sense of proportion, so he is afraid of colliding with a nobleman, so forget it." ”
Da Zhuang's mouth opened, but the moment he lowered his eyes, he saw Tang Shui'er pinching the hem of his clothes, and his bones were white, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
Wen Renting and Dr. Lin ate by themselves, listened to the conversation completely, and had their own thoughts in their hearts.
The atmosphere on the table was a little stagnant.
"Ouch, I said you, just eat, talk about business, what can't you talk about after eating?" Mrs. Meng's expression was uneasy, and she glanced at Meng Hongmiao without a trace, "The dishes are cold." ”
After that, she scooped a bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of Tang Shui'er: "Shui'er, don't pay attention to them, eat more to replenish your body, I don't know who just yelled to eat, don't do it for them next time, let them eat outside." ”
Tang Shui'er was flattered and took the chicken soup, and her expression softened a lot: "Thank you, madam." ”
"Madame, don't be angry, let's eat, eat." Meng Hongmiao flattered, "Look at this four-happiness dumpling, how festive, Mrs. taste it." ”
Seeing that Mrs. Meng really had a sign of anger, the others also came to life, and immediately changed the topic, clinking glasses and drinking should be laughing and laughing, and talking and talking, which looked very lively.
Lang Yuchen wanted to gain a foothold in Changning County, and he already wanted to be good friends with Yan He and others, Wenrenting could be admitted to the top prize, needless to say, he was knowledgeable, but he didn't expect Lang Yuchen to look like a gentleman, but there was a lot of ink in his stomach.
The three of them talked about the past and the present, in addition to the government and politics, they could talk a few words, and suddenly they had a feeling of hating each other.
On the other side, Mrs. Meng still had to give face to Lord Meng in front of outsiders, so she bit down the Sixi dumplings with chopsticks, and was instantly amazed by the taste and texture, but when she wanted to eat another one with chopsticks, the plate was empty.
Mrs. Meng: "!! ”
What about her four-happiness dumplings?
When it comes to eating, Mrs. Meng and Lang Yunsu, who have to take into account their image, can't compete with this group of big men at all.
Sixi dumplings are delicate and small, one bite at a time, and after a circle, the eight dumplings are immediately gone.
Lang Yunsu was about to cry when she bit her chopsticks, Mrs. Meng ate at least one, but she didn't catch half of it!
For a table of dishes, because he was in a hurry, Tang Shuier made two meats, two vegetables and two river fresh, and then four cold dishes and a snack, plus the ginseng chicken pot and stewed hooves made by Chef Sun, which were not too hearty.
But everyone was very satisfied, and they were all eaten up.
On the other hand, although Meng Xiao and Yan Hong did not eat them all, compared to the amount of food they ate like birds before, and without vomiting, Meng Hongmiao and Yan He's excitement could not be expressed in words.
Tang Shui'er left a few recipes, and repeatedly rejected the request of the two to recruit, and then he and Da Zhuang took Gushan back to Qingping Village.
Unloading the carriage, Da Zhuang led the wind back to the stable, and when he returned to the kitchen, he found that Gu Shan was the only one sitting on a small bench peeling the radish, looking a little absent-minded.
"Where's the water?"
Gu Shan saw Da Zhuang standing at the door, almost cut his fingers, and said, "It seems that I have returned to the house." ”
Da Zhuang chuckled in his heart, and had a sense of foreboding.
