Chapter 182: The street food is countless
"This has nothing to do with the four words of Fengyue, the embroidery is really very good, I don't know where my cousin found the embroidery girl, in fact, it is more beautiful before the moon before the flower." Li Yuehui didn't wait for Chen Xiuli to speak, she raised her eyes shyly, glanced at him with a sparkling eye, and said happily.
It has nothing to do with Fengyue, before and under the moon, she misunderstands that her sachet is embroidered with her name. Girl, you're thinking too much!
Chen Xiuli frowned slightly, he was really speechless for a while, but Li Yuehui was already crazy with joy at this time, and he didn't give him a chance to explain at all, so he stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and said: "Brother Xiuli, in fact, I came to you for business, my father and mother are here, my uncle and Shishi are not in the house, and my uncle asked me to find you to receive it." ”
His uncle has always valued him, and even told him that he would hand over half of the family business to him, just begging him to protect Wang Shishi in this county and not to go to the troubled waters of Kyoto.
Chen Xiuli put away the embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and said casually: "Then go back first." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiuli." Li Yuehui paused, took Chen Xiuli's arm, and said sweetly.
"Miss Li, it's a little dark here, I'll go get a lantern first." Chen Xiuli coughed twice, quietly avoided her intimate movements, let go of her, took a few steps forward, and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city for a lantern.
He raised the lantern a little higher, and said modestly and politely: "Miss Li, you go first, Chen carries the lantern behind." ”
Li Yuehui: "......", isn't it safer for him to walk by himself?
But girls always have to be reserved, since they know his intentions, she doesn't care too much about him, her mother told her, to deal with men, is to take it if you leave, you should put it away, don't wrap it too tightly.
Li Yuehui's heart turned a thousand times, and then she lifted the hem of her skirt and slowly went down the stairs.
Coming down from the city tower, the two of them were still walking one after the other, Chen Xiuli had always talked little, Li Yuehui finally couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiuli, my father and mother are both kind and enlightened people, you don't need to be nervous." ”
Chen Xiuli glanced at her quietly, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he said honestly: "I'm not nervous. ”
"And I don't lack anything at home, and you don't need to prepare gifts for them, they're just here for a visit." Li Yuehui thought he was just shy, and mentioned it again.
Before he passed the door, he already knew that he would save him money, so he must be moved in his heart, right? Li Yuehui thought beautifully, the corners of her lips rose, and she couldn't hold it down.
"I didn't prepare a gift either." Chen Xiuli is still telling the truth.
The two people who donkey lips don't match the horse's mouth, and finally returned to Wang's Mansion from the city gate, because Wang Shishi's heart is big, and he dared to charter a street business, even though he had been prepared, but today's business is too hot, so he took a lot of ingredients from the ice cellar in the mansion to deal with it, and the people in the mansion also went to help, and there were only a few guards and chatters left in the entire Wangfu, but it was a lot more deserted.
However, the New Year's lanterns are still hung all over the yard, and the lights are bright.
As soon as Chen Xiuli and Li Yuehui returned to the courtyard, a cluster of flowers and women flew over and hugged Li Yuehui: "Ouch, my good daughter, my mother wants you to die, and you too, you have spent years at your uncle's house, making your mother cold." ”
This person is Mrs. Li, Li Yuehui's mother.
"Ouch, it's only been ten days, look at what you say." Master Li also stepped forward and looked at Li Yuehui carefully, "I see that Hui'er is still a little fatter, it seems that the food at my brother-in-law's house is good." ”
"Daddy! You're just getting fat! Where am I fat? Li Yuehui was told by her father that she was fat in front of her sweetheart, and her face suddenly couldn't hang up, and she pouted and retorted.
It's all because of Chef Hua, the dishes are so delicious! She really couldn't help it! Besides, the food in Wangfu is really good, every day is either barbecue or hot pot, she-
"Miss Li is indeed a little fatter than when she first came, and the food in Wang's Mansion is indeed good." It's good to die, Chen Xiuli even interjected seriously.
Only then did Master Li and Mrs. Li see Chen Xiuli, this young man was carrying a lantern, but he was dressed in a beautiful green robe, and a black robe was simply draped outside, and the whole person was dignified, tall and handsome, and a handsome son!
"You-" Master Li and Mrs. Li glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with joy.
"In Xia Chen Xiuli, he is Shishi's cousin, and Master Wang is his uncle." Chen Xiuli said calmly, "My uncle and cousin are busy doing business, and today is the first day of the food festival. ”
"Dad, mother, Brother Xiuli is still the county magistrate of Shishan County, he was a Tanhualang back then, but he was talented!" Li Yuehui hurriedly interjected and said with Yourong.
"This, it's still the county magistrate, the county magistrate is polite, we are all relatives, we are all relatives, just get some tea and drink it yourself, where is the need to bother the county magistrate?" When Master Li heard that he was still an official, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said very politely.
"Master Li is polite, please have tea here." Chen Xiuli politely led the way to the front hall.
"Hey, wait, wait-" Master Li was about to follow Chen Xiuli into the front hall, but Mrs. Li grabbed him and said, "What kind of tea do you drink, did we come all the way to Shishan County to drink tea?" Aren't you here to eat delicious food? Is there any other village girl competition, serialized teahouse? There are also stage plays, and food stalls, so many fun and delicious food, you let me drink tea? ”
"Yes, Dad, why don't you let Brother Xiuli take you to the streets, it's fun on the street, there are lantern quizzes, there are wishing lanterns, and there are cruises, a lot of fun!" Li Yuehui hurriedly said.
"Since you mother and daughter have said so, let's go and have a look on the street." Master Li replied.
"Then let's go to the street, but there are so many people on the street that you can't walk in carriages, you can only walk." Chen Xiuli still looks humble and calm.
"It's okay, it's okay, I've been in the carriage for a day today, I'm dizzy, just blowing the wind, looking for a restaurant to try the specialties." Mrs. Li laughed.
"Then go to my cousin's hot pot restaurant, it just so happens that I am also hungry, and Brother Xiuli has not eaten dinner." Li Yuehui hurriedly suggested, and a few people were talking while walking, and only a few guards followed silently.
"A hot pot restaurant? What is hot pot? I saw that the brochure had a lot of dishes drawn on it, like a hodgepodge. Mrs. Li asked curiously.
"Hot pot, is a copper stove, and then burns charcoal underneath, while cooking and eating, it is delicious, there is red oil hot pot, clear soup hot pot, red oil spicy, clear soup delicious, see what you eat?" Although Li Yuehui is not doing business like Wang Shishi and Hua Manxi, she follows the two of them all day long, even if she can't do it, she will say it.
"It must be clear soup, I can't eat spicy." Mrs. Li said immediately.
"That's not necessarily, mother, let me tell you, when I first came, I didn't dare to eat spicy, but when I ate it, I was addicted, but it was delicious, what kind of spicy crayfish, spicy crab, spicy beef skewers, especially hot pot, what did Chef Hua say, hot pot without chili is soulless!" When Li Yuehui talked about food, she talked a lot.
"What soul? What are you talking about? Mrs. Li was confused.
"Hey, if you don't understand, forget it, or let's eat a mandarin duck pot, with clear soup and red oil, you can also taste it." Li Yuehui suggested.
However, Mrs. Li did not answer, for they had already walked out into the street, and her keen sense of smell immediately smelled a strong fragrance.
"Skewers! Skewers! Fragrant and affordable skewers! Barbecue skewers! Grilled eggplant, grilled peppers, grilled mushrooms, grilled beef, grilled lamb, grilled fish, grilled shrimp! ”
"Jar chicken, jar chicken! Chicken thighs, chicken wings, chicken feet! Make only the best chicken! ”
"Stinky tofu! Smell stinky and eat fragrant stinky tofu! Come on, it's delicious! Stinky tofu! A bowl of money before five words! It's spicy or not! ”
"Sugar fried chestnuts, rock sugar gourds, marshmallows, sorbet!"
"Pancakes and fruits, meat buns, finger cakes! All the meat and vegetarian are available! ”
The food stalls on the street are dazzling, and the sound of selling comes and goes, and the smell is actually drilling into the nose one after another.
The Li family and his wife have been tired all day, and Liu is hungry, where can they keep this smell?
"Huihui, let's buy some skewers to eat, shall we? Look at the grilled lamb skewers, it looks delicious. Mrs. Li sniffed the smell of the skewers vigorously, took Li Yuehui's hand and said.
Someone passed by and asked for ten skewers of mutton, and Mrs. Li watched as the shopkeeper took the raw mutton skewers out of the transparent cabinet and placed them on the red-hot wire shelf, making a sizzling sound.
Then the shopkeeper began to take a small brush and evenly grease each skewer, and another woman who helped added some charcoal to the fire with an iron tong.
The lamb skewers continued to be grilled, and the shopkeeper turned over the noodles and began to brush the oil and sauce again, until a burst of aroma wafted in, and the shopkeeper sprinkled some more powder and handed it to the customer.
Mrs. Li watched the guest take a bite of the steaming meat skewers, and from afar, she could feel the chewy, juicy, tender and delicious feeling......
Who can withstand this! Mrs. Li swallowed: "I want to eat mutton skewers!" I'm also going to eat grilled eggplant! Roasted peppers! Grilled steamed buns! The first time I've heard of these! Be sure to try it! ”
However, Chen Xiuli stood up and said, "Mrs. Li, you have just arrived after a long journey, and your stomach is empty, it is not suitable to eat these greasy ones immediately, and it is easy to have stomach trouble, let's eat some light ones first, such as a clear soup wonton with thin skin and a lot of filling, freshly cooked seafood casserole porridge or eat some beef ramen?" ”
