Chapter 140: The Clearwater Shop
Cher tugged at Larinco's sleeve.
Lin Ke smiled at her and nodded, but followed the little boy into the house first.
The shop looks a little dilapidated from the outside, but the inside of the shop is very tidy, and it can be seen that the owner here is a clean, and the tables, chairs and benches are polished, and it seems that there are many people who will sit here on weekdays, a very strange place.
The store is flooded with light, thanks to the multiple light points at the heights, which allow sunlight to shine in, making the area look dry and comfortable.
There are indeed a few customers in the store.
Three middle-aged women and an old man.
The women were waiting at a food pick-up counter, talking and laughing, and they seemed to be familiar with this place, but the arrival of Lin Ke and a few people made them a little surprised.
"Dongzi, why did you bring back a guest for your grandfather today?" a middle-aged woman asked the little boy after a few more daring glances at Lin Ke's face.
"A few of them didn't believe that my grandfather made the best salted crispy leg of lamb in Qingshui City, so they brought them to try it," the little boy named Dongzi didn't spread the word about Lin Ke giving him silver coins everywhere, "Then, these aunts are all natives of our Qingshui City, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, if they all say it's not delicious, you can change places." ”
Lin Ke shook his head with a smile and said, "You have to try it to know if it's delicious or not, but I didn't expect it to be your grandfather's shop, it should be good," he smiled generously at several middle-aged women and nodded, but it made them a little embarrassed, but in fact he was more interested in the old man sitting alone in the corner.
"Hello old man, how about we first arrived in Qingshui City to share a table with you?" Lin Ke walked to the big table where the old man was sitting alone and asked politely.
The old man slowly raised his head, glanced around Lin Ke, Xue'er and Lilith before slowly nodding, "Why do you want to sit here with me?"
"Whether it's a big city or a small town, I always think that only the local old people know the most about that place, maybe you can tell us the history and culture of Qingshui City clearly after a meal, this is not a trip here in vain, I don't know when the next time I will come here," Lin Ke said with a smile and sat down unceremoniously.
Cher hesitated and sat down, but Lilith was much more crisp than she was.
The old man shook his head and said, "You are students of the God of War Academy. ”
Lin Ke was not surprised, after all, the momentum of the frame of the God of War Academy reaching Qingshui City during the day was a bit loud, and many civilians in Qingshui City saw it, and as the students came to the city to consume, the news could not be hidden, "Yes." ”
"Qingshui City is an ordinary small city in the west of the imperial capital, with no special mineral resources, no special history and culture, and no special story, but the history of its existence can be traced back almost to the beginning of the founding of the God of War Empire, and it has not changed its name for thousands of years. Out of Qingshui City and then dozens of miles to the west is the largest river in the empire, the Fulong River, the magnificent Fulong River originated in the Stark country in the northwest of the empire, flowing through the Doomsday Mountains and then entering the God of War Empire, the whole process of water flow is turbulent, the water quality is relatively turbid, but it is to the clear water in this section of Qingshui City, and then go downstream and turbid again, Qingshui City is named after this," the old man said, and the three of them were amazed when they heard it.
"It's not an ordinary town," Lin Ke sighed and said, "Maybe there's an artifact buried under Clear Water City." ”
The old man glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Wouldn't that be God bless my God of War Empire?"
Lin Ke smiled, "The glory of the god of war will always shine here." ”
An old man and a young man laughed tacitly.
"Who said that our Qingshui City is an ordinary small city," the little boy Dongzi didn't know when he came to the table of Lin Ke and the others, and at the moment he was glaring at the old man angrily and said, "Our Qingshui City has produced a saint, not to mention it far away, let's just say that the sword saint Mu Li hundreds of years ago, that is a peerless figure who has fought all over the world, he walked out of Qingshui City, our Qingshui City is an outstanding person, maybe one day there will be another saint?!"
"Yes, maybe that saint will be you in a hundred years, Dongzi," Lin Ke said with a smile, "Help us see if your grandfather is busy, why don't you give us two of his signature salted lamb shanks and a small keg of beer?"
The little boy was a little proud of Linko's attitude, so he nodded with his head held high and swaggered to the kitchen.
"Have you been living in Clear Water City, can you tell us juniors the story of Sword Saint Muli?" Lin Ke asked the old man back.
"Where else does anyone know Mu Li's story, it was hundreds of years ago, and at this age, being able to know the name of the sword saint Mu Li can be regarded as the grandfather of this little boy," the old man shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know much about Mu Li's story, I only heard some legends that he fought in Dragon Slayer Castle and fought with orcs, but it is true that he was born in Qingshui City." ”
Lin Ke nodded and said to Xue'er and Lilith beside him, "We don't seem to have heard of any saints in Windy City, so this Qingshui City is indeed an outstanding person, and it seems that there is more than one saint from this Qingshui City further afield?"
The old man nodded, "If you want to talk about outstanding people, Qingshui City is also the same." ”
"Hey, I'll just say it, Qingshui City is a brilliant person, and this old man from out of town also recognizes this," Dongzi wiped his sweat after putting a large plate on the table of Lin Ke and the others with a little effort, "I asked grandpa to pick a big one, how about it, it's very generous, right?" There is another one, I'll pick it up." ”
"Thank you, Dongzi," Lin Ke smiled and handed him another silver coin, the boy also accepted it unceremoniously, Lin Ke turned to the old man sitting opposite and said, "Let's eat together, I see that you don't have anything, anyway, the three of us don't have a lot of food, and we can't eat two legs of mutton." ”
The old man did not refuse, nodded and began to move.
It tastes great!
Fat but not greasy, the meat is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is excellent.
When Dongzi brought out the second leg of lamb from the kitchen, the first one had already been eaten by everyone, and the little boy couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Ke, "How is it, how is it?" I just said that my grandfather's craftsmanship does not need to mention the entire Qingshui City, even if it is placed in the imperial capital, it is definitely top-notch, don't you say?"
Lin Ke gave a thumbs up as he chewed.
Dongzi smiled and put another large plate of lamb shank on the table, took a small barrel of wine, and then sat next to Lin Ke and watched them eat, laughing non-stop.
