Volume 6: The Song is Floating 119: Boiled crabs waving the piano and the night is cool
Qian Lai, the shopkeeper of Xiangfu Inn, looked at this group of people from a distance, with luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing. The man in black walking in the middle has sharp eyebrows and eyes, and people dare not face it if he has never colored. Knowing that this group of people did not dare to slack off, he personally greeted him, bowed down and said: "This store is the best inn in Linfen City, several guest officials want to stay in the hotel, please come with me." ”
He has this self-confidence, and the tables, chairs, and utensils in his inn are all above the standard commonly used by wealthy families in the Han Dynasty. saw that the man in black was still frowning slightly, and his heart jumped, knowing that he was a very wealthy family.
Liu Che frowned, looking at Gillian and Liu Chu around him, he was still quite interested, and he didn't care, so he smiled slightly, stretched his brows, and said, "It's all inclusive." ”
"This," Qian Lai couldn't help but hesitate while rejoicing, "There are seven upper rooms in this store, and one of them is already occupied. ”
"Then I'll have another six." Chen Ajiao raised her head to stop Yang from planning to expel people, and said, "Clean up the three upper rooms first," she looked at Liu Che's face and said, "All pillows and quilts must be new." Don't worry about the price. She clapped her hands, and her own servant took out several pieces of money, and said: "All food and clothing are sent according to the best specifications, and your room money is indispensable." ”
Qian Lai was secretly shocked and respectfully said, "I know." That's what to do. ”
The money is paid enough, and the shopkeeper's actions are also fast. Soon, Xiao Er came over and said, "Tianzi No. 1 and No. 2 rooms are all cleaned up." Guest, please come with me. ”
After a day of carriage and horses, Liu Chu was already tired, but he couldn't hold on, and when he settled down at this time, Mo Chou waited for him and lived in the second room. Rest for a while.
Gillian still has the rare excitement of secretly leaving home and living outside with her friends when she was a teenager. Leaning against the window of the guest room, I looked at the bustling street below. Uniquely, the Shanxi accent is endless.
"Jiaojiao likes to be noisy like this?" Liu Che wiped his face and approached gently. Stand behind her.
"Hmm." Her smile couldn't help but say, "I've lived in the palace for a long time, and when I listen to this sound again, it seems to have returned to the world from the clouds." couldn't be more down-to-earth, he looked at her with a happy face and said lightly: "But I don't know how many people in this world are looking forward to finding a way to the clouds day and night." ”
She was stunned and turned back and said, "It's just fresh." Your Majesty is not happy to see the security of the country and the people under his rule? He looked at his countenance to find the slightest trace of displeasure. However, his countenance was soft at this moment, just Tao. "Since it's outside. Don't shout palace salutes. Jiaojiao shouted as before, okay? ”
"I don't dare." She smiled and tilted her head. "It's not a joke to hear people shouting holy things."
The sound of Langlang's footsteps came from the wooden corridor outside the door. Xiao Er knocked on the door and said, "The guest officer is bringing tea." Suddenly there was a scream.
Yang Deyi's face changed color, and the guards who were secretly protecting him also rushed out and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's okay..." Xiao Er snorted in fright, looked at the direction of the room curiously, and didn't know what the identity of the couple living in room No. 1 was. "It's just a crab."
He put the tea into the room, put it on the table, turned around and picked up the crab and said: "The guest officer is a foreigner, I don't know, our Linfen is located by the Fen River, and when the crabs come out in autumn, you can often see crabs." Yang smirked and had to pass a crab to make such a fuss.
A sneer came from the upper room opposite, and the door was closed.
"Oh!" Gillian looked at the fat crab in the little second-hand and said, "Little second brother, can you catch a basket of crabs for me?" ”
"There are a lot of crabs on the ground near the Fenshui River, and no one wants it, and the land is worthless. It's just," Xiao Er looked at Gillian suspiciously, and asked, "What does Madame want the crab to do?" ”
She smiled and said, "You'll know then." ”
Yang proudly tested the poison, poured tea for Liu Che and Gillian, and sighed: "The master's wife, the tea in the palace is much better than this." Why bother to go out there? ”
Gillian took a sip of the tea-making technology in the Han Dynasty in a few years after she and Sang Hongyang put the tea-making technology into business, and the hand-copied tea in the Han Dynasty replaced the original Han tea. At this time, the shopkeeper brought them to entertain them was already the best of the people. It's just that it is naturally nothing in front of Gillian. However, when I was young, I drank only this kind of tea at home. Gillian sighed secretly, and gradually woke up in her heart, the luxurious life of the palace made her gradually get used to it, and she became more and more away from the past.
The crabs in Fenshui are slightly different from those in the Yangtze River system, with thicker bodies and short toes. There are hundreds of them in one basket. At this time, it is the end of August in the Han calendar, and the female crab tastes the best. Gillian picked thirty or forty female crabs and released all the male crabs. I borrowed the kitchen of the inn to tie the crab corners, steamed them over a high fire, cooked the crabs, removed the toes of the crabs and the tails, and served on the plate.
The people in the kitchen were dumbfounded, never knowing that crabs were also edible. Liu Chu watched from the side, and when the fragrance wafted out after cooking, he couldn't help but want to eat it secretly. But looking at the crab on the plate, I didn't know how to swallow and looked at Gillian expectantly.
Gillian couldn't help but smile: "Dip it in the dipping sauce." In addition, he used fine ginger, shredded green onions and vinegar to make the sauce, and demonstrated how to remove the crab shell, dip it in the dipping sauce, and feed it to Liu Chu.
Liu Chu took a bite and felt that the entrance was extremely smooth and delicious, and he was very surprised, and praised it very much: "It's delicious." ”
"Madam" Yang proudly came to look for Gillian on Liu Che's order, but when he saw that Gillian's mother and daughter had already eaten by themselves in the kitchen, he couldn't help crying and laughing, "Master, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Liu Chu blinked, then remembered that his father was still waiting in the lobby, and lowered his head a little guiltily. Gillian smiled and said, "Let's go back." ”
The crab was extremely delicious, but Liu Che looked at the crab with a complete shape on the plate, flipped the fox with chopsticks, and asked, "Is this thing really edible?" ”
Everyone else in the hall also smelled the aroma, but they couldn't think that the crabs crawling all over the city on weekdays could also be roasted and eaten. They all listened to the answers.
"You don't have to eat it." Gillian replied leisurely and grabbed Liu Chu's hand. "Crabs are cold, and they are not in good health early. Can't eat more. ”
"But," Liu Chu said unconvinced, "it's really delicious." ”
Liu Che knew that this daughter had been raised by her mother since she was a child, and she couldn't help but be curious, and motioned to Yang to remove the crab shell for him. Hearing this, Gillian sneered, learned from her, dipped it in the dipping sauce, tasted it, and raised her eyebrows.
It's really delicious.
"Alright." Gillian said: "You can only eat one more, and there is no more." ”
"That," Liu Chu muttered in a low voice, "What does that mother do so much?" Are you and the Father ...... Have you finished eating? ”
Gillian raised her eyebrows and sneered: "I'll give it away." It won't let you eat more land anymore. ”
"Yang San," she called back.
"Madam," Yang said proudly.
"The rest of the crab. One for each of you and the people who came with you. Let's give one for the rest at a table. That's right. She looked at the upper hallway on the second floor. The gentleman who went to the room also sent one. ”
Yang proudly bowed and turned his back in response to Du Liu's early anger.
Everyone thanked them, and tasted them carefully with a look of surprise.
The door to the upper room was not opened, but there was a melodious sound of the piano. It seems to be a bowing salute.
In the evening, the shopkeeper Qian Lai asked to see him and asked, "Madam, the chef of your crab cooking method also thinks that you can make it." I just don't know ......? ”
She smiled and heard the sound of the piano and said elegantly: "Although my family also has a restaurant, but it is far away, and it doesn't matter if the shopkeeper wants to use it." ”
Qian Lai was extremely happy and said, "If you thank Madame so much, in order to repay Madame's generosity, Madame's family will spend ...... in this store."
"My husband has high requirements for materials," Gillian Yanran said, "Although the boiled crab is profitable, it can't last in a short period of time, so it's not embarrassing to be in charge." Please also ask the shopkeeper to bother us more. ”
Qian Lai remembered the extravagance of this family, and smiled awkwardly: "That's natural." ”
"So," she smiled slowly, "please ask the shopkeeper to get us three new bath tubs." ”
Liu Che took a bath in the room on the side, and came out to see that Gillian had also taken a bath. changed his clothes, his hair was not dry, and he hung down on his cheeks, which was very moving. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he held a lute in his hand.
"Jiaojiao wants to play the piano?"
"yes." She looked at it with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't played the piano for a long time, so it's better to play a song with Gillian." ”
Liu Che didn't have the words, he took it, tried it, and said, "What are you blowing?" ”
Gillian didn't care and asked, "Say it." ”
He thought about it for a while and said, "Let's go into the pine." ”
Gillian lowered her head and plucked the strings softly. Listening to the sounds around me, it was a little stiff at the beginning, and gradually matured. It's obviously a fresh tune, blown by him, but it's a little domineering in it.
The sound from the other side also sounded. Compared with Zhu Liu Che, it seems to be more proficient, less meteorological, but more in line with the meaning of the song itself.
Liu Che put it down and hugged her and said softly, "Jiaojiao is distracted." ”
"Hmm." She woke up and asked, "Have you checked the identity of the person on the other side?" ”
"It's just a soldier who has come back from a funeral." He didn't care about the Tao. Wanting to get closer, she smiled and dodged, "Don't you haven't taken the medicine yet." ”
When you go out on patrol and invest in the store, some of the regulations that should be in place are messed up.
Liu Che sighed and ordered someone to send medicine. Seeing Gillian frowning, she took small sips.
Because it's not next door to the palace, it may be someone you don't know. Gillian's thinnest skin restrained a lot.
But it was also because of the palace that was not in the gorgeous but overwhelmed people, Gillian felt that her breath was sweeter, closed her eyes for a long time, and didn't feel much sleep, and finally gave up, and called softly: "Your Majesty." ”
The man around her had an even breath and did not respond to her.
She opened her eyes and looked at the veil above her head in the moonlight. The snow-white cluster is not as spacious and delicate as the palace, but it makes her feel closer.
After staying for so long, I still prefer something simple and clear.
If you can live a simple and clear life like you do now, don't see all you see, how good it is.
But who would be the one who was with her?
She glanced lightly at the people around her. His name was on his lips but he didn't spit it out.
It won't be him.
There was a wet tail that had not dried, and a light breeze blew in through the window, and the gauze curtains were turbulent.
A few days ago, a book friend suggested that the Gillian I wrote seemed to be too integrated into the palace role, which was a bit incompatible with the previous light and breezy personality. It still makes sense after thinking about it. So I went back and changed the tone of the conversation. Major changes are not available for the time being. We can only wait for the revision.
Actually, I want to ask a question, and I don't think my question is objective, so I'm asking here. Is Gillian in charge of Zhuyi's marriage suitable?
