Chapter 118: Distinguished Guest
Out of the back kitchen, just about to go up to the second floor, I met a group of well-dressed people, surrounded by an old man with a red face and a bright yellow belt around his waist, and was about to go upstairs.
"Ah Xu! You're back? The son of the county master said hello, glanced at Yu Xiaocao, frowned slightly, and whispered, "Ah Xu, didn't you say hello in advance and let you clear the scene?" How could anyone else be there? β
Before Zhou Zixu could answer, he heard a loud voice say, "Huh? Isn't this the little goblin that patrols the mountains? How? You're here to eat too? β
It seems that I have heard this voice somewhere, Yu Xiaocao looked over, the fat old man wearing an ivory purple and gold crown, wearing a dark brown brocade robe, and a bright yellow inlaid jade belt around his waist, wasn't it the white-bearded old man who had talked to her all the way across the sea this morning?
It turned out that he was the distinguished guest of Wu County! She had long seen that this person had an extraordinary background, but she didn't expect it to be a noble person in the royal family in Beijing! You ask her why she is sure that the old man is a member of the royal family? Nonsense! If you are not a member of the royal family, who would dare to tie the bright yellow around your waist? If you want to rebel, you can't??
Wu Xianling was a middle-aged man with an elegant face and a good conversation, and he looked at the little girl in front of him who was wearing coarse cloth and above, with a childish face and an undersized figure. I can't help but have some doubts in my heart: how can the Emperor Taishang recognize people in the countryside?
However, when I thought of the dress of the Emperor Taishang and his party in the morning, I was relieved again. Emperor Taishang was born poor, and he has always had no quarrel with the people who were also born poor. When Weifu went out on patrol, there was nothing to make a fuss about when he knew one or two poor people.
"Huh? Aren't you the old man who rode the donkey upside down in the morning? Yu Xiaocao also asked in surprise.
The Emperor Taishang walked over with a smile, stood two steps away from her, and nodded, "Not bad!" I just parted in the morning, and I met here again, we really have a fate! β
His big eyes like copper bells looked around, smacked his lips and said, "Wu County Order, this restaurant you recommended is not very good!" It's time to eat, and there are no other guests except us and this little girl. It seems that the taste of the food is not good! Why don't we change it? β
Wednesday Shao glanced at Yu Xiaocao, full of black lines: Wu County Ling had already chartered the restaurant, where did the other guests come?
Wu County Ling also can't say that in order to entertain the emperor, he has contracted the entire restaurant. The Emperor Taishang went out on patrol to hate people's extravagant and wasteful bureaucratic style, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Yu Xiaocao opened his mouth at this time to correct the name of Zhenyulou: "Grandpa, the food here is delicious, you can taste it!" β
The emperor's guards and servants pouted in their hearts, and said in their hearts: You little girl who has never seen the world, what can be convincing when you say it? It's better not to talk about it!
The Emperor Taishang is in a good mood today, and he has the intention to tease the little girl: "Oh? Tell me, what's delicious here? β
Yu Xiaocao said without thinking: "It's too much!" Listen...... Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised salted duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower, small belly, dried meat, sausage, assorted Supan, smoked chicken, white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, Jiangmi stuffed duck, canned pheasant, canned quail, braised assortment, braised goose, braised shrimp, braised shrimp, braised shrimp, boiled shrimp, ......"
She snapped her fingers and recited all the tongue twisters she used to think was fun to learn in one go, without ventilation. Wednesday Shao's eyes widened, secretly thinking about whether there were so many dishes in his shop? How did he not know?
"Oops! Look at your good mouth!! The name of the dish is good. The little girl works in the store? The Emperor Taishang listened to the familiar tongue twister and hid the ecstasy in his heart, but he didn't expect that in this world, in addition to him and the stinky boy at home, there were other traversers!
Be calm, he must be calm, don't show flaws, lest this clever little rabbit be scared away!
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaocao was surprised by his words: how did he know that he was talking about a tongue twister of "reporting the name of the dish"? Could it be that this old man in front of him is also a traverser? Damn, what's wrong with the world? It's going to be threaded into a sieve!!
Be calm, be calm! Whether the other party is a traverser or not, you can't let the other party see the flaw!!
She showed an innocent expression and said with a smile: "Grandpa, didn't you ask me what I had to eat?" I just gave you the name of the dish!! How about it, is there anything you like to eat? β
Sample! Load, reload!! The Emperor Taishang scolded "little fox" in his heart, but he didn't expose it, and continued to cooperate: "Hmm...... The names of the dishes you just said are too fast, and my old man doesn't remember a lot of them, so I don't remember a few at all! In this way, just pick up the best dishes in the store and just bring a few of them! β
Wednesday Shao instructed the big shopkeeper: "Go, bring all the specialties and specialties in the store!" We hope that you will give us more valuable advice! β
"Little girl, you can stay and introduce us to the dishes!" The Emperor smiled like a big bad wolf that lured the little white rabbit.
Yu Xiaocao touched her nose and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, I'm not a waiter at our store, so I ......"
"Good girl! I had just reported so many tempting names for the dishes, which aroused the old man's appetite, but he suddenly changed his words...... Are you making fun of the fifth master? "The Emperor Taishang staged a face-changing trick, and the old naughty boy who was originally smiling turned into a powerful person who was not angry in an instant. That momentum made the companions around him can't help but sweat coldly.
Yu Xiaocao "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly realized that the majesty of the royal family was inviolable, remembering the moodiness of the royal ministers in the book, who was still laughing and groaning one second, and could kill someone the next second. In an instant, her little face turned pale with fright, and her eyes turned red.
Zhou Zixu withstood the prestige of the distinguished guest, and pleaded for her: "Please Fifth Master for the sake of Xiaocao that she is still a child, spare her this time!" I am willing to vouch for my name, Xiaocao, she has no intention of teasing or disrespect......"
"Haha...... The third son of the Zhou family, right? It's a kind one, much stronger than your uncle! The Emperor's face didn't hold for three minutes, and then he smiled again, and he said softly to Xiaocao, "Little guy, are you frightened?" Remember this lesson in the future, there are some people you can't offend! β
Yu Xiaocao's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and her nose couldn't help but sour: no matter in ancient or modern times, it is impossible for her, a small flat-headed person, to live a happy life. Everywhere, there will be a privileged class.
Seeing the little girl's eyes with tears, the Emperor Taishang couldn't help but come over and touch her head, and his voice was gentler: "Yes!" Crying nose, in the end it is a child, not scared. Zhou Xiaosan'er, serve a few good dishes to the little girl, and record them on my head as the fifth master!! Touch the hair, not afraid of not afraid ......"
Wu County Ling's father and son were stunned by the emperor's ever-changing attitude in an instant, don't look at the emperor who always smiles on weekdays, there is no arrogance, as soon as he plays majestic, let alone a little girl, he is almost scared to pee in a county order. The little girl was not so frightened that she cried on the spot, she was already bold.
I saw that the emperor had become an amiable old man again in the next second, stroking the head of the little girl in the countryside, and couldn't stop comforting. If it weren't for the disparity in clothing, I would almost think that they were grandchildren!
Yu Xiaocao tried hard to force her eyes back, squeezed out a smile and said, "Grandpa, you were really scary just now." It's worse than when my grandfather was angry...... I won't delay your meal, Xiaocao will retire......"
As she spoke, she gently bowed her knees, took a few steps back, and then quickly retreated back into the backyard as if a wolf was chasing her from behind, and then breathed a sigh of reliefβoh my god, it was so scary! In the future, she will stay at home honestly and try to avoid dealing with powerful people!
Zhou Zixu stayed in front to entertain the guests personally, and after the shopkeeper arranged for the guests to sit in the private room, he came to the back kitchen and ordered the dishes to be served. Seeing Yu Xiaocao in the center of the hospital, he tapped her a few times with his hand, and said, "You, you!" In the future, you must be careful in what you say and do, if you offend someone who shouldn't be offended, no one can save you!! β
The big shopkeeper is a few years older than Yu Hai, and he likes this clever and clever little girl as if she is a junior in her own family. For what happened just now, he also pinched a cold sweat for her next to him. Fortunately, the noble person is not the master who cares about everything and will repay him, otherwise even the little girl's family will suffer.
Yu Xiaocao nodded obediently and asked in a low voice: "I'll go up now, I won't run into them again, right?" β
"No, the distinguished guests are already seated, you go up quickly, Brother Yu is in a hurry!" After the big shopkeeper finished speaking, he went into the kitchen.
Yu Xiaocao crept up to the second floor like a little mouse dodging cats, but was startled by the county magistrate who pushed the door out.
"What, what is this? It's like being a thief. Wu Gongzi also has a lot of impressions of this little girl with good cooking skills. Last time, the little girl made fish soup, and even Yuan Yunxi, who was the most picky-mouthed, drank two large bowls. Just now, if it weren't for Wednesday Shao's help, he couldn't help but speak.
Yu Xiaocao touched the back of his head in a sneering manner, looking embarrassed. She cautiously glanced at the closed door behind Wu Gongzi, put her index finger to her mouth and made a silent motion, and then pointed to the private room she was going to. Then, waving his hand to Wu Gongzi, he continued to tiptoe towards the target room. When he got to the door, as if he had been chased by a thief, he quickly opened the door and dodged in.
Wu Gongzi watched her series of actions throughout the whole process, and felt that this little girl was really interesting, much more interesting than those pretending ladies! He shook his head with a smile on his face.
