Chapter 9 Qing Ya Ju
Bai Shaojie was about to have a seizure, but he heard Bai Meixue refuse: "I have been given a fish lamp by Miss before, this one, Miss Li will keep it herself!" After speaking, he leaned forward and leaned closer to Li Tang, and said softly: "Bai Meixue, I live in Baifu, a mile away from Chunxi Town. ”
Li Tang was pleased that the other party was also from Chunxi Town, and also replied in a low voice: "South Street of Chunxi Town, Li Tang." ”
Li Tang retreated, Bai Meixue bowed slightly, grabbed Bai Shaojie, and the three of them went to the east of the city. It wasn't until the figure disappeared that Li Tang reluctantly retracted his senses, looked at the big and heavy marquee in his hand, pouted and looked at Li Yu, Li Yu saw that the three of them were finally gone before he put his mind at ease, and hurriedly pulled her: "Let's go, go back, after coming out for so long, my father and mother should go back." ”
Li Tang was about to follow Li Yu back, and when he saw the purple-shirted young man standing on the side for a long time, he stepped forward and handed the lamp that he had been carrying for a long time: "Don't you like it!" Send you. "It doesn't matter if people want to or not, they just forcibly stuff people's hands.
The young man took the lamp in her hand, a little stunned, probably didn't expect her to give the lamp to himself, completely forgetting that this was what she gave to others just now, and others didn't want it.
Li Tang waved his hand: "Let's go, goodbye." After only one step, the purple-shirted young man grabbed her coat and asked, "My name is Lantian, what is your name?" ”
Li Tang stopped and looked back at him, snickering: Lantian? Does Lantian smoke on a warm day? It's poetic, but he still replied to him very politely: "My name is Li Tang, the Tang of Begonia." This is my brother, Li Yu. ”
Li Yu nodded and smiled politely at him, and then hurried to the inn with Li Tang, only praying that he would not be scolded by the old man when he went back.
The "young man" who smiled and talked to himself had already gone away, Lantian was still standing in place, and the next person called him, only to come back to his senses, Lantian himself took the lamp, and ordered someone to give the stall owner a tael of silver, a small business, he also knew that it was not easy, and the vendor was so happy to thank him again and again!
The Li Tang brothers and sisters returned to the inn, and Dr. Li and his wife were ready to go back to the room to rest. Li Tang returned to the guest room to clean up and washed, and then rested with Mrs. Li. She is still young, and she is her daughter's house, so she doesn't worry about living alone, so Li Tang sleeps in one room with Mrs. Li, and Dr. Li sleeps in one room with his son!
In the quiet night, Li Tang lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, and kept thinking of Bai Meixue, who was almost hit by himself; The amazement when I saw her face at first glance, the calm and calm appearance when I uncovered the mystery, and the whispering of her close to my ear, as if at this moment, the soft tone brushed the pinna of the ear and lingered around, and for a while I felt that my ears were a little itchy, and I reached out and rubbed it, but there was nothing!
Li Tang shook his head and thought: Wait until you go back to the town to find her!
The next day, the sky was already bright, Mrs. Li had already gotten up and freshened up, Li Tang got up and rubbed his eyes, he was tired from playing yesterday, and he didn't want to get up today, but he couldn't afford to be scolded by his father, so he had to squint his eyes and force himself to lift the quilt and get out of bed, and simply cleaned up and went downstairs.
The three of them were already sitting downstairs waiting for her, Li Tang sat at the table, the family began to eat breakfast, Li Tang took a sip of water, grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, it tasted good, and it was also equipped with small pickles and rice porridge.
After eating early, Dr. Li led a family of four out, and most of the people who participated in the Lantern Festival yesterday had not left, so the city was still very lively, and the streets were full of people!
This Chongning City is not small, but there is no place to watch and play in this season, but there are many good restaurants in the city, it is a trip, you should find a taste of the signature specialties, I heard that many restaurants are invited from other places to the famous chef, each cuisine is different, the more people with status, the more exquisite to eat.
A group of four people wandered around the street, knowing that his father was going to take him to the restaurant in a while, Li Tang happily pulled Li Yu to keep chattering, twitting...
In this Chongning City, there are several famous restaurants, there are four of them, Qing Yaju on East Street, specializing in foreign cuisine, gathering all the cuisines of other state capitals in the country, there are more than ten chefs alone, in addition to the new dishes created by the store every month, in Chongning is always the first to go out of the new dishes, so in the restaurants in Chongning City, the foreign dishes of Qingyaju will always lead the way.
In addition, the store is also good at making all kinds of pastries, snacks and summer cold products, in addition to supplying the general use of wine, the store self-created flower wine and fruit wine is a must, the hall also set up a stage, there are famous horns singing, piano playing, juggling and so on, every day are changing tricks, and it is even more lively on big days, so the delicious and fun Qing Yaju is deeply favored by the young lady.
A pavilion on the north street, the store is arranged in a fragrant and leisurely manner, the first floor is the hall table, the second floor is the elegant house separated by green bamboo, there is a blue lake in the backyard, and several pavilions are set up by the lake, which are specially used by those guests who are willing to pay.
Most of the dishes in the store are authentic and high-quality local dishes in Shuzhong, but in the cellar in the backyard, there are famous wines from all over the country that have been collected over the years.
The owner of the shop will send different batches of people to the field to purchase wine every year, and it will take two or three months to purchase this way.
The shop is usually equipped with chessboards, pen and ink, musical instruments, diners can play games at leisure, can also improvise, can also be elegant music, there are also many elegant people to leave ink treasures, whether there is a name or not, the shopkeeper will let people send it to frame, hang in the hall and the house, for people to appreciate.
This move undoubtedly made more ink writers happy, so this pavilion gathered literati and ink artists in the city every day, as well as people from other places, and stayed for several days.
The emerald garden in the south of the city, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, making wild vegetables all year round, following the wild game in the mountains all year round to change the season, naturally you can occasionally eat the game that is out of season, but the price... It depends on whether the guests can afford to eat.
The chef in the store is a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is said that the ancestor was in charge of the imperial kitchen in the palace, yes and no, and no one has traced it, but the taste of the dish is really the best taste in the world.
This mountain and wild goods are not without other restaurants, but the chef of Emerald Green Garden is different, the mountain and wild creatures are made, neither fishy, nor bad and delicious, the taste and fragrance of the mountain game are brought into full play, and the soup made of mushrooms and roots is so fragrant that people want to swallow it together!
Finally, on the bank of the moat not far from the Guanyu Bridge in the city, the three-storey Hongfu Building is the largest, most luxurious and lively restaurant in the city.
It's just that it is neither poetic and picturesque, nor only local characteristics, but also not fried tricks, it is better than having a prime location, convenient for outsiders, and also better because it is close to the riverbank, and you can also see the street scene on both sides of the city and river when you eat upstairs, almost any cuisine is available, which can meet the tastes of local and foreign diners.
It also excels in the fact that the food is noble and simple, the officials and businessmen can go upstairs to the luxurious private room, and the peddlers and pawns can also go to the lobby hall, and the place upstairs avoids the hall on the first floor, so no matter what the identity is, they do not interfere with each other, so this Hongfu Building is the place where the most diners gather every day in Chongning City.
Li Tang always dresses up as a man to study in her father's pharmacy on weekdays, saying that she is not serious about studying, and pulls others to inquire about outside things all day long; But she has talent, although she doesn't work as a doctor, she learns things quickly, and if she likes something, she must learn it.
So she always pestered her mother to teach her to make nectar to make perfume, and coupled with the pharmacology taught by Dr. Li, she developed a bunch of bottles and cans, but fortunately, it was neither edible nor curative, so Dr. Li never cared about her.
When I was in the pharmacy, I heard people talk about the food in Chongning City, and I already wanted to come and see it, taste it, she was still young, and she loved fun places, so she clamored to go to that Qingyaju.
Dr. Li originally wanted to go to the emerald garden in the south of the city to taste the wild game made by the palace crafts, so he didn't want her, Li Tang was angry, snorted and turned his head to not listen to Dr. Li.
Mrs. Li had a headache, the old one was not easy to persuade, and the young one did not listen to persuasion, so she had to say to Dr. Li tentatively: "Why don't you let Yu'er accompany her to the Qingya Residence, and I will go to the Emerald Garden with you?" ”
Dr. Li always felt that Mrs. Li was used to this child: "You are used to everything, and you will see how you can manage it in the future!" ”
Mrs. Li retorted: "Just have a meal, you are allowed to taste the fresh, can't you let her eat what she likes?" ”
Doctor Li was helpless: "Okay, okay, the lady said it." Although he agreed, he turned his head and warned Li Tang: "Go back after lunch, don't run around." ”
Seeing Li Tang nodding, he told Li Yu again: "Yu'er is optimistic about her sister, and she will be punished together if she doesn't return before dinner, but today she wants to go back to the town, and she has to make trouble." ”
Li Tang only felt dizzy, but he still obediently followed: "Yes, I know, Dad!" The carriage was still stored in the inn, so now it can only be walked over, and it will take a lot of time, so after a few words, Li Yu took the money bag given by Mrs. Li, and was forced to wait Li Tang to run towards Qingyaju on East Street.
When the brother and sister arrived at Qingyaju, it was not yet noon, if there were more diners at noon, it would not hurt to come early, otherwise there would be no seat and a trip in vain.
Qing Yaju is a two-storey wooden building, but it occupies a wide area; The interior and exterior layouts are fresh and chic, the center of the hall is the stage, which extends to the inner room against the wall on the north side, and the door of the inner room is blocked by a fence, and the inner room cannot be seen.
The stage is surrounded by tables and stools in the east and west, the second floor is hollow to form a patio, and the entire second floor is surrounded by a guardrail.
Behind the private seat is a private room, separated from the private room a few feet wide, separated by a door wall, which does not interfere with each other, and the private room can be used for guests to talk or take a break.
In the center of the whole hall, the upper and lower stages are surrounded by a sandalwood veil, and the stage is extended from the corridor, and the curtain flutters gently, like a fairyland standing in the sky, and it will not be put away until the beginning of the performance!
