Chapter 1: Overlord Meal

Yanjing, is an ancient capital with a history of 3,000 years, in 1122 B.C., after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang, he was in Yanfeng Zhaogong.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Yan Kingdom among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period is said to have been named because of its proximity to Yan Mountain.

Its national capital is known as "Yan Capital".

One of the ancient Kyushus, Youzhou, is said to also refer to the Yanjing area.

This is what Wong Tai Sin said.

Heart.

Ma Yiao was originally going to go to Yanjing with me, but before leaving, he received another call from Pengcheng, which was from Facai Zhang.

He told Ma Yiao that the money we had saved before had been settled, but there were still some questions to be understood at the moment, and asked Ma Yiao if he was free, and if he did, he would go to him to see if he could handle the matter properly in person, so as not to delay it any longer.

For this call, for Ma Yiao, it was unexpected.

After all, the old crooked is the old crooked, and the fortune Zhang is the fortune Zhang, and we have never looked forward to whether he can help us recover that dollar.

But how to say it, people are social creatures, and they also need to eat, drink, and Lazar, especially now that I don't have a job, and Ma Yiao is also a lot of burden, if you have more spacious hands, you will be more confident in what you do.

So he was ready to go to Pengcheng for a walk.

I was going to go with Ma Yiao, but he refused, and asked me to go to Yanjing first to play the front station, and he arrived later.

So, I was alone, with a bag on my back, and set out on the journey north.

Before that, I had already put the Wang Hu in the Demon Refining Ball and the Queen of the Heart Eater Bee in Mangshan, and I didn't take them with them.

My previous job was just running business, so traveling alone was nothing to me.

Although the train of that era has been accelerated, it is completely incomparable with the later high-speed trains, and when I arrived at Yanjing West Station, I got off the train and felt that I was about to go rancid.

Out of the train station, walking down the crowded streets, I felt like a little damp flower in the morning.

Even the cold of early spring couldn't stop the sticky and sour smell on my body.

Yanjing is very big, and there are so many people that I have a little doubt about life, and this kind of crowding has a different feeling from the excitement of Pengcheng.

All in all, it's a great and magical city that makes me want to explore it.

In the following time, I visited the Old Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, ** Square, the Badaling Great Wall, the Temple of Heaven, Beihai Park, or Nanluoguxiang, Dashilar and various traditional alleys...... At the turn of the century, Yanjing is in an era of change where tradition and modernity collide fiercely, and every part of it makes people move and linger.

Compared with the beautiful scenery, the food that can satisfy the appetite of the tongue makes me even more happy.

Not to mention the most famous Yanjing roast duck, or fried noodles, or boiled fried liver, or belly shutters, white water sheep's head with pepper and salt, and then roast mutton, shabu mutton, sauced beef, sesame baked cake, and pork knuckle in old man's sauce......

Hey, these delicacies make people want to live for the rest of their lives and refuse to leave.

Yanjing is also a very inclusive city, what Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Suzhou, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan and Hui, and even the world's cuisine are gathered here, which makes people look forward to it a little more.

Five days later.

On a long street on Summer Palace Road, outside the Hechengju Sheep Scorpion Restaurant, I stood outside the restaurant, looking through the glass window, watching the diners inside enjoying the steaming sheep and scorpions.

I saw them take the bones full of fat mutton from the copper pot, some of them dipped in sauce, some of them took it straight, and chewed the tender and fragrant mutton under their stomachs, but their stomachs gurgled and rang uncontrollably.

Yanjing Ju is not easy.

I didn't have any money in my pocket, but the last time I went out, I left a little more.

This time I wandered for a few days, and by last night, I had run out of ammunition, and in the early spring weather, I slept on a park bench, and after washing in the public toilet in the early morning, I have been wandering here and have not left.

The last bit of money in my pocket was used to make a phone call to Ma Yiao.

But strangely, his phone has never been connected, and he doesn't know what happened.

Squatting from ten in the morning to half past one in the afternoon, I decided to make a move.

I swaggered into the store, sat in a corner position under the guidance of the waiter, and then began to order a large pot of sheep scorpions, and ordered two drawers of steamed buns, a big bowl of stew, and two side dishes of cucumber and fried peanuts, and then asked for a pound of Niulanshan Erguotou.

Even though I didn't have a dime in my pocket, I didn't panic in the slightest.

If this matter had been put on hold, I would never have done this.

But now, more often than not, I have a casual and peaceful attitude, and I am far more free and bold than I was cautious and cautious before.

I did it on purpose, because I knew that my life had changed since then.

Those peaceful and stable lives have left me.

I don't even know if I'm going to die suddenly one day.

So I seemed very calm, and slowly enjoyed the food, until about three o'clock, the pimple-faced waiter saw the mess on my table, but did not want to leave, and finally smiled with a smile on his face, and came up to ask, "Big brother, how is it, it tastes good, right?" ”

I took a toothpick, picked the mutton between my teeth, and said nonchalantly, "It's okay." ”

The pimple asked again: "Then you, do you want to add something?" ”

The two drawers of buns were very porcelain, and I choked a little when I ate them, so I burped a little and said, "No, no." ”

Pimple pointed to the empty tables in the restaurant, and said That's okay, thanks to your patronage, a total of eighty-two yuan, the boss said to wipe a fraction of your head, and you give eighty just right.

Yes?

I burped, stared at each other a little dazedly, for a moment, and then said, "This, eighty?" ”

Pimple thought that I had an objection to the price, and said very aggrievedly: "Big brother, we have a clear price here, and you have also seen it, this meal is enough for four people, and eighty is not expensive." ”

I laughed and said you called your boss.

Seeing that I was sitting in front of the chair with an extraordinary bearing, I was a little confused about where I was coming from, hesitated for a moment, then turned to leave, and after a while, a pretty young woman followed him.

The person had a very good attitude, and said with a smile at me: "Sir, I am the boss here, what's the matter, the taste is not suitable?" ”

This young woman is about twenty-seven or eighteen, or in her early thirties, wearing a sky-blue dress, revealing slender and slender calves, melon seed face and phoenix eyes, white skin and red skin, light body, graceful and graceful, very beautiful, and the voice is also very good, with a crisp and refreshing radish of old Beijing.

Such a woman should appear on TV, on the stage, or in government agencies, as well as on the front line of literary and artistic work.

It's hard to imagine that she is the proprietress of such a small restaurant.

Her eyes were dark and a little bright, and I was a little ashamed to sit in front of her.

The thought of what I was about to do made me even more ashamed.

The young woman was a little displeased when she saw that I did not speak, but she did not show it very well-mannered, but asked again: "Sir, sir...... sir"

I knew I couldn't avoid it, so I stood up awkwardly, and said, "What, are you still looking for a chef here?" ”

The smile that the young woman had originally put on her face suddenly retracted.

Her clear eyes showed a little annoyance, stared at me, and said, "Sir, you don't have any money in hand, do you?" ”

I nodded, yes.

She barely maintained a smile and said to me: "We have a phone here, if you don't have it at hand, you can call your relatives and friends, or colleagues at work, and help you pay for it." ”

I shook my head and said I'm sorry, I'm from out of town, I've just arrived in Yanjing for a few days, I don't know anyone.

The young woman stared at me and said, "You're going to eat the overlord's meal, right?"

I said no, I just wanted to ask, do you need a chef here? If I need to, I can use my salary to offset the cost of today's meal.

The young woman pursed her lips, her silver teeth biting her rosy lips, and for some reason, a mist suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She turned her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Little Liu, call the police." ”

The acne-ridden waiter said "hey", and then went to the counter to make a call, I hurriedly grabbed him, and said Oh, don't worry, let me tell you, my cooking is really delicious, absolutely amazing, okay, you have to try it too?

The pimple pulled me and subconsciously shook my arm, but found that it didn't get me away.

After he felt the strength in my arm, he shouted: "Lao Tu, Xing'er, come and help, this guy who eats white rice is going to beat someone......"

"Where? Where? ”

A fat man in a white coat, five big and three thick, rushed out of the back kitchen, holding a sharp kitchen knife in his hand, and shouted, "Who? ”

A firewood girl with a chest flatter than her back also rushed out with a rolling pin, and the fox faked Huwei: "It's too much, Sister Na is already so miserable, you still come here to eat white food, do you have a conscience?" Don't run, let the police arrest you and lock you up for two days. ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I saw a room full of bitterness and hatred.

I looked at the young woman with a sad face, and said seriously: "Everyone has a time when they are in trouble, you give me a chance, I will fry a dish for you, you have eaten it first, and then decide, okay?" ”

The young woman stared at me for a long time before asking, "What will you fry?" ”

I thought for a moment and said to her, "The simplest dish is the best way to reflect the chef's mind and skill." Well, I'll fry you a mutton fried rice, what do you think? ”
