At the mention of the snake princess, Qi Xiaoting was excited: I patronized and discussed the skeletons, and I forgot the purpose of coming to the woods!

"Let's hurry to the earthen house and see if the snake demons are still there?" Qi Xiaoting reminded.

Scud slapped his head: "yes, what are we doing here?" As he spoke, he led the way and ran towards the small earthen house.

Without the Ecstasy Array, the small earth house was quickly found.

It was originally a small courtyard, although the courtyard wall has long been decadent and collapsed, the three earthen houses are still intact, the doors and windows are there, and it is a place in the woods that can shelter from the wind and rain.

I walked around inside and didn't find anything suspicious.

"Let them run again!" Scud was so angry that he stomped his feet: "This time, I patronized and killed, and I didn't even have a general direction!" ”

Qi Xiaoting hurriedly transmitted the sound to Long Yi and asked him if he saw the snake princess and the three running in which direction.

Long Yi: "At that time, the attention was on Liu Xiu and the skeleton, and I forgot to let Ah Mei observe them. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "I lost it." What to do? ”

Long Yi: "It's almost dawn, hurry up and find an inn so that everyone can rest and rest." You haven't slept in days, haven't you? You can't just know how to use soldiers, but you don't know how to raise them! ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What about the snake princess?" Where to find it? ”

Ryuichi: "As long as they are still in Jianjin Prefecture, there will always be a time to find them." Don't say anything else, hurry up and find an inn to rest. ”

Qi Xiaoting had no choice but to take the three of them to Tanglin Street. He was about to find an inn to stay in, but he saw Li Hong wandering in front of an inn.

It turned out that Li Hong followed the carriage and sent Wu Haiqing's family to their rented house in Taoyuan Village, arranged a place to live, took out ingredients for them to cook by themselves, and called Li Rich Man over to take care of him temporarily.

Because he had to travel at night, Li Hong was afraid that the coachman would have an accident on the road, so he took the carriage back to Hengtou together, and after sending the coachman home, he came to Tanglin Town along the main road, and wanted to inquire about Qi Xiaoting's whereabouts here, but he didn't expect to run into them as soon as he entered the town.

"Have you eaten?" Li Hong asked with concern.

At this time, he should have been sleeping in the house, and when he saw the four of them coming from outside, they all looked exhausted, and guessed that a battle had just been fought.

Qi Xiaoting: "I patronized the fight, and I forgot about eating on the back of my head." When you mention this, you feel empty in your stomach. ”

Then he asked Scud and the others, "Are you hungry?" Anyway, my stomach started 'growling'. ”

Scud grinned: "I didn't think anything about it at first, but the ancestor really felt hungry when he mentioned this." Let's quickly find an inn and ask Xiao Tongluo for a table of good wine and food, and everyone treat themselves. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "You are familiar here, you must be sure!" No matter how big or small the inn is, as long as it is clean. ”

Scud: "Okay! Let's go to the Yuelai Inn. This inn is the most important in Tanglin Town, clean, and the food is good. Their specialty rice is dumplings, and there are more than 10 kinds of fillings. ”

Li Hong: "Let's eat his dumplings, I haven't eaten this thing for a few days!" ”

Scud: "People don't cook at night, and if they want to eat, they will get it tomorrow at noon." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Then let's hurry over, as long as we have a house, we will ask for a small gong." ”

A group of five people came to the Yuelai Inn and registered three rooms: one room for Li Hong and Scud, one room for Dongsheng and Li Heier, and one room for Qi Xiaoting herself.

The scud rang the small gong and asked for a table of food, and everyone was full of food and drink, and then rested.

Due to the fatigue of a few days, last night there was a fierce battle for most of the night, everyone's body was very tired, and when I woke up, it was almost noon.

"According to last night's plan, for this meal, we will eat a local snack - dumplings!" Qi Xiaoting said.

When Liu Xiu was recuperating here, Jiao Niang invented dumplings in order to cook for him in a different way, and spread them in Tanglin Village first. In addition to eating for themselves, people also use it to entertain relatives and friends and improve their lives.

Later, a financially minded person thought that this was a way to make a fortune, so he opened a dumpling shop on Tanglin Street and started a dumpling business.

Later, Tanglin became the seat of the township government, built a bazaar, and more merchants came and went. Since Tanglin is the birthplace of dumplings, people from Siwai Village and merchants from afar come to visit Tanglin, as long as they arrive in Tanglin, there is no shortage of dumplings in the restaurant.

Tanglin's dumpling shop has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

"Yes, eat dumplings." Li Hong said happily: "When I came to Tanglin, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't eat dumplings." ”

"Yes, I heard that Tanglin's dumpling fillings are varied and have unique flavors, so let's be satisfied!" Li Heier said.

Li Hei'er's home is in the northwest corner of Jianjin Prefecture, and Tang Lin is in the southeast corner, a hundred miles apart, so it's really not easy to make a trip.

Qi Xiaoting took out five taels of silver and said to Scud, "Is it enough?" ”

"How did you eat five taels of silver?" Scud smiled: "Although the dumplings are delicious, they are also ordinary meals, only a dozen dollars a catty." Even if I eat with my belly open, I can't eat a tael of silver.

"However, these dumplings are freshly packed and cooked, and if I let go of my stomach to eat, they will not be able to supply them. I'll still ask Xiao Tongluo for some dry food, first pad the hunger, and then eat some with you and taste the taste of dumplings, and that's it. ”

Li Hong: "What's the matter, since you go to the restaurant to eat dumplings, let's eat them all, you don't care about the money, Xiaoting has it in her hand!" ”

Qi Xiaoting does have money in her hands.

When he was in Xiling Village in the Western Regions, because the triangular faced snake king on the snake king mountain caught the blue-maned horse, Qi Xiaoting passed the paper crane to Bian Xiangu for help, and killed the triangular snake king, his generals and family members; The knives, guns, instruments, gold, silver, and jewels were confiscated.

Since then, Qi Xiaoting has a large number of weapons and money in her hands.

Although she gave alms all the way, she could also receive a part of it for people to tell fortunes and see things. In today's words, Qi Xiaoting can be regarded as a little rich woman with tens of millions of yuan. Li Hong often goes in and out of the space, and he knows everything clearly.

Qi Xiaoting also persuaded Scud: "As the saying goes, those who open a store are not afraid of a big-bellied man, and since they are dumpling shops, there must be a way to wrap them out." At noon today, we don't use the small gong, just eat dumplings. I want a few more hard dishes and two bottles of good wine, and everyone will eat and drink well.

"I also heard that you sent the yellow noodles that had just come out of the pot to the capital from here, and it was delicious when you got there. Tonight's test will test you, you send two bowls of dumplings to Grandma Li (Scud's mother), and I'll give you the time to see how many minutes you can use back and forth. ”

Scud "hehe" smiled: "Then I'll thank you for my mother first!" ”

After speaking, he called the shop boy, ordered a few hard dishes, asked for two bottles of good wine, and instructed: "Cook me two bowls of dumplings first, and I'll send them to my wife." When you come back, you have to put all the dishes on board. One less, and we shift positions. ”

The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Fei Ye, we know your speed, you still need two hot dishes, you have to fry the dishes before they can be served!" ”

Scud smiled: "Then put the six cold dishes together, and the hot dishes should also be made as soon as possible." ”

The shopkeeper nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, thank you Fei Ye for taking care of me, I'll give it to the shopkeeper." ”

The dumplings were quickly cooked, and the scuds were served in a bowl and sent to the old mother. When I returned, six cold dishes had just been served.

When the people were full, everyone began to push the cups and change the lamps, and feasted.

Qi Xiaoting doesn't drink, replaces it with tea, and accompanies everyone to eat.

"Shopkeeper, dumplings." Li Hong stuffed the meat and vegetables in his mouth, and said with a whining: "Dumplings with wine, the more you drink, the more you have." Let's eat dumplings and eat vegetables while drinking, the wine is also drunk, and the rice is full, killing two birds with one stone! ”

"Good!"

"Okay!"

"Yes!"

Scud, Dongsheng, and Li Heier all responded enthusiastically.

Qi Xiaoting knew that everyone wanted to taste dumplings in advance, and she also raised her hand in favor.

The dumplings were quickly served, a plate of one kind of filling, pork green onions, mutton carrots, beef winter melon, and there are three kinds of cabbage alone: pork cabbage, mutton cabbage, beef cabbage......

Qi Xiaoting thought to herself: There are no greenhouse vegetables in this period, if there are, I don't know how many more kinds there are.

There is a lot of meat in the dumplings, a bite and a mouthful of oil, what kind of dish and what taste, all kinds of dumplings have a unique flavor.

"Tang Lin's dumplings are really worthy of their reputation!" Li Heier exclaimed.

"Then you can eat more." Qi Xiaoting pushed a plate of dumplings with pork vermicelli in front of him and said kindly.

"Ouch...... There is ...... in this dish Poison! ”

Li Hong shouted first. Then he clutched his stomach and squatted on the ground.

"My stomach hurts too!" Dongsheng said, and squatted down as well.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Immediately after, Li Hei'er also slipped under the table.

Qi Xiaoting's stomach also hurt a little, but it was much lighter and she could bear it. Seeing that Scud frowned, knowing that he also felt it, he hurriedly took out five ambergris herbal water from the space with his mind, and gave one to everyone to drink, and one for himself.

He took out a pair of silver chopsticks and tried them on each plate:

It turned out that the dumplings were poisonous inside, and they were in every plate.

At this time, Scud had already called the shopkeeper and shouted angrily: "Why did you poison the dumplings? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face turned white with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Fei Ye, the little one will never know, if I know, and let me go up, wouldn't I smash my own job and block my own financial route!" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Are there any suspicious people in your chefs?" ”

Shopkeeper: "No, they are all honest and serious chefs, who have been in the store for many years and have never had an accident." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What about the shopkeeper who ran the hall?" ”

The shopkeeper patted his head: "Could it be him!" ”

Scud: "Who?" Tell me about it, I'm going to have to beat his yolk! ”

Shopkeeper: "That's right, because I make dumplings by hand, there are many people who need them, and I often post job advertisements."

"Yesterday there was a new guy, and I saw that he was very shrewd, so I asked him to be the runner of the hall, serving food and delivering food to the guests. The amount you need here is large, and he takes the initiative to take it. ”

Scud's brows twisted into knots: "A newcomer, we have no grievances with him, why frame us!" ”

At this time, Qi Xiaoting suddenly thought of a serious problem, and hurriedly said: "Is there a problem with the pot sent to Grandma Li?" ”
