67. Unannounced visits

Xie Xuan and the three of them didn't go back to Baicaotang, so they asked the little girl to go back first with the purchased pork pith and other things, inquired about the address of Xinglong Restaurant, and went towards the goal in a hurry.

Xinglong Restaurant is located next to Tongque Street in Sizhongli, although the business is not as good as Zuixiao Building, Yunlai Restaurant, Taihe Building, but there are also a few famous dishes, and it is also one of the best restaurants in the county. There is a wine flag hanging on the door of the restaurant, and the four big characters of "Xinglong Restaurant" are written on it.

Xiao Er, who was entertained at the door, was welcomed into the building, found an empty table by the window on the first floor, and the three of them sat down. Because it's not the time to eat, there are not many people in the restaurant, only two or three tables.

"How many people drink tea or eat?" Xiao Er was dressed in green clothes and brown caftan and greeted him courteously.

"Order a pot of sesame and pine nuts to make tea first!" He turned his head and asked Liu Siyun and Xie Xuan, "What do you two drink?" ”

"I want a pot of Muxi roses to pour braised tea! Put more rose marinade, it is delicious when it is thick! Liu Siyun ordered her favorite tea, she loves sweets the most, and even the tea leaves are sweet.

"I'll have a pot with you!" Xie Xuan observed the surroundings and said nothing.

Xiao'er smiled and retreated, and in a moment, he came up with two porcelain pots with blue and white entwined branches.

"What are your specialties here?" Liu Sinian asked.

"My family's signature dishes are Sixi meat, fried roasted bones, eight-treasure pork belly, as well as crystal goose and Yuanju lamb bones, which are all famous in the county!" Xiao Er saw that Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun were wearing silk clothes, and their demeanor was not like ordinary people, how dare they slack off? Hurriedly said.

"Eat these greasy foods all day long, and there are no new dishes?" Liu Sinian raised his eyebrows and asked.

Liu Siyun and Xie Xuan snickered beside them, watching him pretend.

"If the petty officials are greasy, our restaurant happens to have new dishes today, including pork with yellow sprouts, fried pork with leeks, garlic and white blood soup, yellow sprouts and leeks with yellow meat buns, and garlic and yellow stuffed meat corners...... "Xiao Erji was clever, and when he saw Liu Sinian saying that he wanted to eat fresh, he opened his mouth and reported the name of the dish.

"Huh? A few days ago, I went to Zuixiaolou and Yunlai Restaurant for dinner, saying that his leeks and garlic have been out of stock these days, why do you have them, is it because your family robbed his supplier? ”

The little two looked at them carefully, and felt that they didn't look like they were sent by other restaurants to inquire about the news, and if they wanted to inquire about the news, they wouldn't get a few children over.

"Back to the little official, the shed vegetables in our restaurant were bought from a passing merchant this morning, and today is only the first day!"

"Passing by merchants?" Liu Sinian and Xie Xuan looked at each other, and then Liu Sinian pretended to say, "Where did the merchant come from?" Vegetables and vegetables are scarce in winter, those cabbage and yellow sprouts, the elders in the family have long been tired of eating, but they want to change the fresh tricks, you tell me the news of the merchant, this young master has a lot of rewards! “

As he spoke, Liu Sinian took out a dime of silver from the purse around his waist and put it on the table, looking at the size of the color, it was half and a tael.

The fellow's eyes were staring at the silver, and his month's salary was only five cents of silver, and this ingot of silver was worth his busy work for a month!

But he just sighed reluctantly, and said regretfully: "Little official, I also want to earn this half a tael of silver, but unfortunately the shopkeeper said that the merchant left the county seat after selling the vegetables, and I don't know where to go!" “

"So, is it your shopkeeper who bought this leek and garlic? How much did he sell? Xie Xuan asked next to him.

"I bought three or four hundred pounds!" The man replied.

Seeing that the guy saw them asking for so much news, they had already begun to doubt their intentions, Liu Sinian and Xie Xuan didn't dare to ask again, for fear of startling the snake, so they had to order three or four random dishes from the names of the dishes that the guy just reported.

Seeing that the guy went to the back hall, Liu Siyun, who had been holding back for a long time and was afraid of his bad things, immediately said: "That's right, Xuanxuan, didn't you say that you lost about three or four hundred catties of vegetables in your shed?" Isn't that right? ”

"That's right, but the shopkeeper of this Xinglong Restaurant will definitely not tell us where this garlic came from, the so-called foreign merchants, I see, it's just nonsense to fool others!"

Xie Xuan slowly drank the thick Muxi rose poured brine tea, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus roses opened in her mouth, but she didn't know the taste.

"We can't just go to him and ask him where the vegetables come from? If he doesn't say it, let's go to the county government to sue him! Liu Siyun came up with an idea.

"Silly Yunyun, the one who stole Sister Xuan's food was not the shopkeeper, he just bought some vegetables! If he doesn't say it clearly, you will be falsely accused, and you will be punished! Liu Sinian shook his head and denied her opinion.

"So what should we do, let's just leave it at that?" Liu Siyun was unconvinced.

"Of course you can't do that!" Xie Xuan put the blue and white fine porcelain tea bowl on the table, tapped the table with his fingers, and said softly: "This shopkeeper bought so many dishes in the morning, more than one person must have seen it." Three or four hundred catties of vegetables, to say the least, you have to take half a car! Let's have dinner for a while and ask around on this street, and someone always sees who sold the dishes to Xinglong Restaurant! Knowing the appearance, according to the map, it is better than us fooling around here! ”

Liu Sinian's eyes lit up, and he called out softly, then looked at Xie Xuan carefully, and said with a smile: "Blame Grandpa for praising you, I didn't think of a good way to come out for a while!" ”

Xie Xuan didn't think about it and said: "It's just that I just passed from the street, and I saw that there were a lot of shops around, and there was such a big movement in the morning, I definitely couldn't hide it!" ”

The three of them ate something indiscriminately, but unfortunately they were all quite full at noon, and only moved a few dishes once or twice. Liu Sinian and Liu Siyun are looking forward to investigating the case with great interest, where can they take care of this? Xiao Er said that it was a total of three coins of silver, and Liu Sinian was also verbose, throwing down a dime of about three or four coins of silver, and pulling Xie Xuan to go out.

"Wait!" Xie Xuan pointed to the yellow sprouts and leeks and yellow meat buns and garlic stuffed meat corners on the table and said, "Pack these two for me, I want to take ...... with them."

Liu Siyun was in a hurry to investigate the case, so she hurriedly said: "Xuanxuan, you have to like to eat buns and dumplings, my chef is much better than his family, let's hurry up and get down to business, it's not too late to go back and eat!" ”

"Who knows that Chinese food is hard work! You have forgotten that my family is a farmer's family, and I can't afford to waste food the most! Xie Xuan watched Xiao Er wrap the buns and dumplings with two pieces of oiled paper, and looked at the Sixi Meat and Babao Pork Belly on the table that had not moved a few times, and secretly called it a pity.

Liu Sinian smiled and watched Xie Xuan unhurriedly command Xiao Er to pack, but felt that she was quite a big deal and calm.

"Here, I'll hold it for you!" He stretched out a pair of white and delicate hands and took the two oiled paper bags that Xie Xuan was holding in his arms, "You have thin arms and short legs, let my brother help you hold them!" ”

Looking at the tender hands of a typical rich young master who had obviously not done rough work, Xie Xuan handed over the two oil paper bags very appreciatively.

The three of them walked out of Xinglong Restaurant, looking at the rows of shops and small vendors on both sides, Xie Xuan turned his head to the two and smiled and said, "There are so many vendors and shops on this street, how can some people be willing to tell us the news easily?" I can't say we have to break the bank today! ”
