Since there is a story here, then they are not going to the imperial city either, here it is.

So, she instructed the shopkeeper of Ning Ji to pay attention to the actions of the abolished prince and others, and report to her in time if there was anything abnormal.

Then he came out of the Ning Ji score, and went around the street again, sure enough, this place is no less prosperous than the imperial city, and he secretly sighed in his heart, if it is said that the abolished prince has no ability to govern the country, how can it be so rich here? If it is said that there is a way to govern the country, but it does not follow the right path.

When Ning Shangmo returned to the inn, Hua Lanyao and Ming Qing had already returned, and they were asking the shopkeeper where Ning Shangmo had gone and why she didn't stop her from going out.

The shopkeeper looked innocent, saying that he didn't know when she went out, and thought she was resting in the guest room.

Seeing this, Ning Shangmo hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "I squinted for a while, I was bored, so I went to walk on the street." ”

"Mo'er, how can you go out and walk around alone? If there is something, how do we explain it to Ming? Hua Lanyao took her arm and looked her up and down, relieved to see that there was no injury.

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "You are a person who reports the world, it is the first thing to do ideological work for Ming Qingyan, and you are not confused at all, why is it your turn to have such a problem, I am annoyed with you." ”

After saying that, she ignored her and went upstairs.

Leaving Ming Qing confused, he looked at Hua Lanyao and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Hua Lanyao didn't understand for a while, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I was scolded inexplicably." ”

Then, she went upstairs and saw Ning Shangmo sitting and drinking tea in her room, she thought about it and didn't go in, but went back to her room, reminiscing about what Ning Shangmo had said.

Suddenly, she opened up, and Ning Shangmo was angry, saying that if something happened to her, she would not be able to explain to Ming. It seems that she is not good to her because the two are good sisters, but because of others.

Didn't he make the same mistake as Ming Qingyan? Obviously, they all care about her from the bottom of their hearts, but they are in the name of others.

Hua Lanyao couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, isn't she confused.

After thinking about it, she ran into Ning Shangmo's room excitedly and said with a smile: "Mo'er, Mo'er, I know." ”

Ning Shangmo saw her rushing in, gently put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and then smiled unhurriedly: "Do you know what to show off?" It's a fool not to know. ”

Hua Lanyao walked over, reached out and put her arm around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Okay, people are wrong, I apologize to you, don't make an example." Tell me, what did you do on the streets? Don't say anything and don't do anything, I don't believe it. ”

Ning Shangmo felt that it was better not to tell her what he knew, wait until he figured out the situation first. After all, it was unknown why Chu Yue and Tuoba Yanling came here, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Hua Lanyao is not like Yun Yishu who is born in a fast catch, she usually helps her take care of Ning Ji's business, and she has not really experienced in the rivers and lakes, but she has a chivalrous heart.

So she replied nonchalantly, "What can I do?" It's just to go out and get acquainted with the environment and see the customs here, which is my usual habit, and it's the same everywhere. ”

Hua Lanyao didn't believe what she said, stared at her eyes, but she didn't see any flaws, it didn't look like she was lying at all, so she was skeptical: "Okay, I believe you." If there is something we must not act on our own, otherwise we would not be friends. ”

Ning Shangmo smiled and asked, "What is not a friend?" ”

"It's an enemy." Hua Lanyao pursed her lips.

"You don't think you have enough enemies? Alright, let's go down for dinner. Ning Shangmo avoided this topic and said with a smile.

She guessed that as soon as they entered Qinglong City, they were only afraid of Chu Yue and they would know. Not telling Hua Lanyao and Ming Qing about them is also the best disguise.

Hua Lanyao didn't know, she believed that what Ning Shangmo said was fine. happily went downstairs with her for dinner.

At this time, it is already dusk, and the number of customers entering the store is gradually increasing. Luckily, they moved in early, if it weren't for the lack of rooms.

Ming and Qing mornings had already occupied a table by the window for them, and when they came down, they smiled and said, "There are quite a lot of signature dishes in this store, what do you want to eat?" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned and said, "Shop Xiaoer, order." ”

The shopkeeper with a white towel on his shoulder, heard the greeting, ran over quickly, and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat, a few guest officers?" We have roasted braised goose, roast hare, sauced beef, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour carp, fried cabbage, etc., as long as you can say it, we can make it. ”

When Ning Shangmo heard this, he couldn't help but nod and smile: "In this way, the best sold in your store will be served according to the portion of the three of us." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Ming Qing Nunu, Ming Qing understood, took out a silver ingot from the blanket and put it on the table, and asked, "Are these enough?" ”

"That's enough, the three guest officers are very satisfied." After saying that, he picked up the silver on the table and walked away happily.

Soon, the first course was served, and the bok choy was splashed with oil.

Ning Shangmo took a pair of chopsticks, and after tasting it, he couldn't help but smile: "This vegetarian dish is very good, I don't know how the meat dish is." ”

Seeing that she was eating well, the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't have to say anything about meat dishes, in fact, the most difficult thing to make is vegetarian dishes." The guest officer waited a moment, and the meat and roast duck came up soon. ”

With that, he walked briskly to the back kitchen.

Ming Qing said with some vigilance: "Do you feel that this shopkeeper seems to be overly enthusiastic about us?" Could there be some attempt, could it be a black shop? ”

Hua Lanyao couldn't help laughing and said: "You are too careful, such a big inn has so many people living in it, even if it is a black shop, what are we afraid of?" ”

"Anyway, it's always good to be careful, I feel that this shop is a little strange, but I can't say what is strange." The Ming and Qing dynasties insisted on their own views very seriously.

Ning Shangmo nodded and responded, "Let's just be careful." ”

She also felt that the shopkeeper was too attentive, it shouldn't be because they were rich, such a big inn, naturally they were all rich people, but they were afraid that other guests would be more generous.

Then, if you don't do it for money, you are for people.

She couldn't help but think that they had just arrived here, and no one knew them, even if they were the shopkeeper of Ning Jizi, if they sent someone to take care of them, they would not fail to say hello.

The only possibility is that Chu Yue or Tuoba Yanling's people.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: "Okay, then we'll end the matter in Qinglong City." ”

However, he pretended to be casual on his face, and tasted the delicious dishes with an indifferent face.

Not afraid that they would poison the dishes, she had already quietly put the antidote in the teapot where they drank water. Even if it is poisoned, it is not very serious.

After the dishes were served and eaten, the three of them were already full of belly.

Ning Shangmo gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the chef of your inn would have such superb cooking skills, and he would catch up with the skills of the chef of the big restaurant." ”

The shopkeeper smiled proudly: "This guest officer, it's not me who praises Haikou, even a big restaurant may not have the skills of our chefs here." Do you know where this chef came from? ”

"Where did it come from?" Ning Shangmo asked curiously.

"Da Ling." The shopkeeper smiled: "Even in the entire Wu Qin, there is no such good chef. Even our Green Dragon King loves to eat his dishes. originally wanted to keep him to work in the palace, but he said that cooking also requires a mood, and only in places such as inns can he bring his cooking skills to the extreme. In this way, the prince allowed him to be in charge of the largest inn in Qinglong City, and sent people to the palace for three meals a day. ”

After saying this in one breath, Xiao Er asked, "You say, can the food you eat not be delicious?" And the chef has a very strange temper, only those who are destined will cook for him, and he will not be willing to cook if it is not a lot of money. Anyway, in addition to making three meals for the prince here, he is at will, even if he doesn't cook a dish, our shopkeeper doesn't dare to say anything about him. ”

After listening to this, Ning Shangmo couldn't help but have a strange thought in his heart, and asked out loud: "This chef is from Daling, do you know who his surname is?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that people call him a painter." ”

"What? Painting a child? Hua Lanyao couldn't help but exclaim.

The shopkeeper asked vigilantly: "What, do you also know this painter?" But Da Lingren? ”

Ning Shangmo hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "We are not Da Ling, and we don't know who you are talking about, but I just think this name is very good." The surname painting must be a picturesque person. ”

The shopkeeper stared at her for a while, and then nodded and exclaimed: "He is indeed a very good-looking woman, but I am afraid that if he dresses up, he will be more beautiful than a woman." To be honest, I've never seen such a good-looking man, and many women are compared. It would be dwarfed for me to wait for such a turbidity. ”

When Ning Shangmo heard this, he already had an idea in his heart, this person must be right about the painting garden. It's just that how did he end up here to become a chef?

Cook? She couldn't help but be surprised, the painting garden was still a chef, and he could make delicious dishes? A man like him, dressed magnificently, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and playing elegantly, she could not imagine that he could cook in the smoke and fire, and he was a good cook.

What kind of person is he, and how many things are not known to others?

Ning Shangmo couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this person is definitely not simple, no one knows how many things he has experienced, it is simply unfathomable.

"What more do you want, a few guest officers?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Several people came back to their senses from their respective thoughts, and Ning Shangmo smiled: "I don't want anything, the food is so delicious, we all have enough to eat." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "Okay, everyone, I'll go greet the other guests." ”

With that, he left.

Ming Qing looked at his back and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the chef in his mouth is really a painting garden?" I can't imagine that someone like him can cook? It's incredible. ”
